| BluesKaj | so you want your mom to run the browsers from linux ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes | 00:00 |
| Githzerai | ubuntu: You need to reinstall grub, as u switched your partitions ;) | 00:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i want to slowly get her out of windows | 00:00 |
| BluesKaj | Firefox runs in linux , but dunno about safari | 00:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i know, but i want to be able to run the firefox from windows from here | 00:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | because i have saved sessions on my firefox | 00:01 |
| BluesKaj | why ? ...I don't get it , sorry | 00:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and she likes having her addies on a scroll list, she cant be bothered typing them | 00:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i have my saved passwords, tabs, websites, on my firefox on linux | 00:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | she's got ehr addresses on the navigation bar on the firefox from windows | 00:02 |
| ubuntu | this is my -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/27365/ | 00:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i was going to tell her to switch to konqueror but i myself cant open my hotmail on konqueror | 00:03 |
| ubuntu | my menu.lst | 00:03 |
| ubuntu | is it true? | 00:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i downloaded epiphany but that doesnt have a bar that saves addresses unless you start typing them | 00:03 |
| BluesKaj | CostaRicanQuaker: copy the URLs into a text file , copy them over to linux then copy and paste them individually to the addressbar in Firefox then bookmark the site, when it loads , that'a lla can suggest to you | 00:04 |
| Githzerai | ubuntu: Reinstall grub ;) | 00:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how abotu fixing konquror? | 00:04 |
| ubuntu | how? | 00:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i can open my hotmail messages | 00:04 |
| Githzerai | ubuntu: Or put disks back as they were. | 00:04 |
| Githzerai | !grub | 00:04 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:04 |
| Githzerai | ubuntu: first link | 00:05 |
| BluesKaj | CostaRicanQuaker: firefox has a linux version ...dunno what you mean | 00:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes but i want to use konqueror too | 00:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so how do i fix it, i cant open hotmail emails in it | 00:05 |
| BluesKaj | then do the same with konq | 00:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i think its common or something | 00:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but it doesnt open when one clicks on the emails | 00:06 |
| BluesKaj | sorry dunno about hotmail ...didn't think many linux users bother with it anymore | 00:07 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | BluesKaj: what do you use? | 00:07 |
| MrKennie | I thought hotmail worked with firefox? | 00:08 |
| BluesKaj | kmail, gmail and my ISP provided email pop3 server | 00:08 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes but not with konqueror | 00:08 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | kmail? | 00:08 |
| MrKennie | I don't use it but I seem to recall it works | 00:08 |
| MrKennie | probably not much you can do about that I'm afraid | 00:08 |
| MrKennie | complain to msn | 00:08 |
| BluesKaj | yes , it's included in the kontact app in the kmenu/internet | 00:09 |
| sebastian_ | how do i install kmail? | 00:10 |
| sebastian_ | od i have to be on kde? | 00:10 |
| sebastian_ | or can i get it from gnome? | 00:10 |
| MrKennie | kubuntu should have it already | 00:10 |
| sebastian_ | can i also check it from a windows computer? like an internet cafe? | 00:10 |
| MrKennie | check what? | 00:11 |
| sebastian_ | my email | 00:11 |
| MrKennie | oh | 00:11 |
| MrKennie | kmail is an email client like outlook | 00:11 |
| MrKennie | outlook express even | 00:11 |
| MrKennie | gmail is google mail which you can use with a regular email client | 00:12 |
| sebastian_ | i know ive got a gmail account | 00:12 |
| MrKennie | or you can use any decent browser | 00:12 |
| compilerwriter | kmail can be backended into kontact and then you will have something more like outlook. | 00:12 |
| sebastian_ | hmm, can i install my gmail on kmail? | 00:12 |
| sebastian_ | as in.....can i open my gmail from kmail? | 00:12 |
| Dragnslcr | Yes, GMail support POP/IMAP clients | 00:13 |
| MrKennie | sebastian_: sure, nto sure if it's changed lately but you will not to enable pop access in your gmail account | 00:13 |
| sebastian_ | pop=? | 00:13 |
| MrKennie | protocol that msot email clients support, you will see it in your gmail preferences | 00:13 |
| sebastian_ | what is its use? | 00:14 |
| sebastian_ | i mean, do i use it generally? i have gmail already but uisually i open from the browser | 00:14 |
| MrKennie | yea, you can do that but you can also use an email program tosend and receive mail using your gmail account | 00:14 |
| sebastian_ | can i download kazekahase from the terminal by typing sudo aptitude install kazekahase? | 00:14 |
| MrKennie | not sure what that is, sorry | 00:15 |
| sebastian_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazehakase | 00:16 |
| BluesKaj | sebastian_: you can configure your gmail to forward emails to another email account if you wish, look in the options page on gmail | 00:17 |
| sebastian_ | i know that | 00:17 |
| MrKennie | sebastian_: looks like that program is available | 00:17 |
| sebastian_ | i do that for my hotmail, i get them forwarded to the hotmail account | 00:18 |
| sebastian_ | MrKennie: is there a way to check if a prog is available from the terminal without getting it | 00:18 |
| MrKennie | try apt-cache search <thing> | 00:18 |
| Dragnslcr | !info kazekahase | 00:18 |
| ubottu | Package kazekahase does not exist in hardy | 00:18 |
| sebastian_ | but what would i miss out if i install gmail on kmail? that pop thing | 00:18 |
| MrKennie | eg. apt-cache search kazekahase | 00:18 |
| BluesKaj | you can get gmail forwarded to yahoo, hotmail, your ISP provided email or whatever | 00:18 |
| brahman | #kubuntu-es | 00:19 |
| MrKennie | $ apt-cache search kazehakase | 00:19 |
| MrKennie | kazehakase - gecko based web browser using GTK | 00:19 |
| sebastian_ | i got nothing MrKennie | 00:20 |
| Dragnslcr | Helps if I copy/paste the correct spelling | 00:20 |
| Dragnslcr | !info Kazehakase | 00:20 |
| ubottu | kazehakase (source: kazehakase): gecko based web browser using GTK. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.2-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 662 kB, installed size 1892 kB | 00:20 |
| sebastian_ | great | 00:20 |
| MrKennie | :) | 00:22 |
| sebastian_ | MrKennie: E: Couldn't find package kazekahase | 00:22 |
| sebastian_ | sebastian@sebastian:~$ | 00:22 |
| sebastian_ | what do i do now | 00:22 |
| MrKennie | kazehakase | 00:22 |
| Dragnslcr | You have to spell it correctly | 00:23 |
| sebastian_ | has anyone actually tried it? | 00:23 |
| Dragnslcr | You should probably use Adept. It can filter on partial names | 00:23 |
| sebastian_ | or is icecat better? | 00:23 |
| MrKennie | not I | 00:23 |
| sebastian_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat | 00:23 |
| MrKennie | sebastian_: best thing is to try them yourself | 00:23 |
| MrKennie | different tastes etc. | 00:24 |
| sebastian_ | !icecat | 00:24 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about icecat | 00:24 |
| MrKennie | sebastian_: nothing stopping you from removing anything you don't like. | 00:24 |
| sebastian_ | how do i look for this on the repositories | 00:24 |
| sebastian_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat | 00:24 |
| MrKennie | may not be there | 00:25 |
| sebastian_ | what do i do then? | 00:25 |
| MrKennie | if you open adept package manager it will search as you type | 00:25 |
| sebastian_ | wasnt it synaptic? | 00:26 |
| MrKennie | depends | 00:26 |
| MrKennie | adept is default in kubuntu, synpatic is default in ubuntu | 00:26 |
| MrKennie | even still you can install either if you wish | 00:27 |
| Githzerai | !info icecat | 00:27 |

| sebastian_ | how do i know which release i'm on? | 00:27 |

| sebastian_ | hmmm wait...that makes no sense | 00:30 |
| sebastian_ | how do i check what kernel i'm on? | 00:30 |
| sebastian_ | the version of the kernel | 00:30 |
| MrKennie | try not to paste in here | 00:30 |

| sebastian_ | Linux sebastian 2.6.15-52-386 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jun 9 17:24:46 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linu | 00:30 |
| sebastian_ | this doesnt make much sense does it | 00:30 |
| MrKennie | upgraded lately? | 00:31 |
| sebastian_ | yeah | 00:31 |
| sebastian_ | but i cant boot from the 8.04 kernel | 00:31 |
| sebastian_ | it gives me some busy box ash error | 00:31 |
| sebastian_ | so i boot up from the old kernel | 00:31 |
| sebastian_ | so, can i get gnu icecat on hardy? | 00:32 |
| MrKennie | you know which version it was? | 00:32 |
| sebastian_ | dapper i think | 00:32 |
| MrKennie | I mean the hardy kernel | 00:32 |
| sebastian_ | nope, but its newer a one | 00:33 |
| MrKennie | you can probably get icecat installed but you may need to compile yourself. Check the website for info. | 00:33 |
| MrKennie | icecat website that is | 00:33 |
| sebastian_ | compile myself? | 00:34 |

| Githzerai | TrinJ: sudo jockey-kde | 01:41 |
| XJman | Does Kubuntu work well as a media server? I'm not familiar with setting one up, but I have TB's of movies and music I wan't to have accessable from multiple computers. | 01:47 |
| Githzerai | XJman: Well most of servers today use some sort of BSD or GNU/Linux, so I think that answers your question. As for Kubuntu in particular, for presonal use no beter or worse than any other distro.... | 01:52 |
| Githzerai | XJman: Speaking of media server that is.... | 01:52 |

| amelie | i tried with all player available, gxine, mplayer, and always give me errors. I tried download libdvdcss2 and coulnd't install it | 02:16 |
| Dragnslcr | !dvd | 02:16 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 02:16 |
| amelie | i tried sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh the response was "command not found" | 02:18 |
| amelie | any other suggestions? | 02:18 |
| Dragnslcr | I dunno, I haven't tried it myself | 02:19 |
| Githzerai | amelie: Try using tip from above. medibuntu repo does improve media abilities of kubuntu. never had any problem with dvd playback ;) | 02:20 |
| amelie | !medibuntu | 02:21 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:21 |

| spiel_mit_feuer | hey.. can anyone read me? | 02:58 |
| jeisma | im trying to configure and install kdm theme manager | 02:58 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | ive been trying to find a large linux chatroom online.. and previously all i had was the yahoo room | 02:58 |
| maduser | first find the paths it is lookig for | 02:58 |
| maduser | find the paths that kdm is looking for | 02:58 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so.. if anyone can confirm they can read me.. that would be great | 02:59 |
| maduser | spiel_mit_feuer: I don't see you | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | spiel_mit_feuer, :) | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | Tyechnically this is a large Kubuntu chatroom. :) theres also ##linux, and #ubuntu | 03:00 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | ok... | 03:01 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so.. i installed linux a few days ago.. working great | 03:01 |
| maduser | which one? | 03:01 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | well.. ive used linux before, i was just never able to break myself away from windows.. but i think this time i have | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | theres also Kubuntu specific rooms in other languages. if english is not your first language. | 03:01 |
| blauzahl | there's even #kde-chat :D <---advertising | 03:01 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | im using ubuntu i installed a base command line system of, then installed kde-core so i can fine tune the system by only installing the apps i use | 03:01 |
| maduser | oh | 03:02 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | its all working great so far.. im enjoying KDE, got some programs that seem to work fine | 03:02 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | audacious makes a perfect replacement to the winamp i was so used to | 03:02 |
| Walzmyn | Is there a place where I can see the schedual for packages going into the repos? | 03:03 |

| spiel_mit_feuer | at this point.. my missing windows is growing lesser and lesser each day.. and i only have a couple slight problems with linux im sure i can fix in time | 03:04 |
| cEr0 | ¿hay alguién que hable español? | 03:04 |
| maduser | cEr0: si poco | 03:05 |
| cEr0 | ohh | 03:05 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | biggest problem is my audio.. it works, fully installed.. problem is i cannot adjust the output volume since im using the spdif format for my surround sound.. what i need to do, is somehow emulate an analog 5.1 output with a master volume i can then route to the spdif output giving me volume control | 03:05 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | i believe i need to configure an alsa plugin known as softvol if i can figure out how to set that up correctly | 03:05 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so does anyone know of any larger irc chat clients i could go to? | 03:09 |
| === keith is now known as compilerwriter | ||
| spiel_mit_feuer | i tried linux first when slackware 9.0 was current | 03:09 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | and i have to say.. linux has certainly come a very long way since then | 03:09 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | the new kernal, upgraded desktops, more software, its as easy as windows now | 03:09 |
| BluesKaj | spiel_mit_feuer: larger irc chat clients ? | 03:10 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | chat rooms i meant | 03:10 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | theres a ton of people logged in, but i dont see many talking? | 03:10 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | heh.. im making my own theme :-D cant do that with windows | 03:11 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | well.. not as cool anyway | 03:11 |
| Pici | spiel_mit_feuer: #kubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu | 03:11 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, some ppl just auto-join but seldom participate ...dunno why | 03:11 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | im not sure where to go.. technically im using ubuntu.. which i installed to the command line only to install kde | 03:11 |
| compilerwriter | Spiel do you really like to play with fire? | 03:12 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | heh.. sometimes | 03:12 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | anyone ever see the "gentoo ice" skin for xmms that used to come with gentoo installations? | 03:12 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | it was a very beautiful xmms skin.. and i was thinking of using some pieces of that to create an entire KDE desktop theme around | 03:13 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | im finding pidgin (gaim) has come a long way too.. theres only one feature gaim needs to make it absolutely perfect for me.. tabbed accounts | 03:14 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | if a different account could be placed in individual tabs within the main list.. that would be great | 03:14 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | i have to say though.. the #1 thing about linux i like different about windows, able to install /home on another partition | 03:15 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | if i change distros, i dont lose my important stuff or configurations :D | 03:15 |
| Pici | spiel_mit_feuer: This channel is really just for support issues, if you want to chat you'd probably be more interested in #ubuntu-offtopic or #kubuntu-offtopic | 03:16 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | i do have 2 support issues | 03:16 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | its with my audio | 03:16 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | the audio works, but due to an inherant problem with the spdif format, i cannot change the volume, so the volume is always maximum | 03:17 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | i can turn it down via my surround sound receiver, but next song, its back to max volume | 03:17 |
| compilerwriter | That could be bloody annoying | 03:17 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | oh it is | 03:18 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | its never the major issues that turn someone away from something, its the annoying ones | 03:18 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | i think i found a solution of how to fix this.. via an alsa plugin script thing, but im not sure how to set it up to work how i need it to | 03:18 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | somehow its possible to emulate an analog 5.1 signal with master volume control and then route it through my spdif output | 03:19 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | theres a plugin called softvol i was looking into, and it seems to be what i need, i just cant set it up right | 03:20 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so if anyone knows how to set up a softvol plugin script for alsa, let me know | 03:20 |
| BluesKaj | spiel_mit_feuer: I use the spdif out to my receiver as well, but i haven't encountered any intermittent volume increases. i have my alsamixer ctrls set to 71% max. | 03:21 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | do your alsamixer controls actually control the volume? | 03:21 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 03:21 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | even with windows XP this was an issue, so its not linux | 03:22 |
| BluesKaj | sounds like your souncard has a prob then | 03:22 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | well.. this is a laptop, so im sure it doesnt come with all the features of a higher end third party audio controller | 03:23 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | if i set audacious to take over volume controls it works fine.. so what i need is like a master software volume control that can replace kmix | 03:24 |
| flaccid | spiel_mit_feuer: set the master channel to pcm or similar in kmix? | 03:25 |
| flaccid | right click kmix and select master channel | 03:25 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | ive already tried it.. kmix will only allow me to adjust hardware volume | 03:26 |
| flaccid | and that is not adequate? | 03:26 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | flaccid, it doesnt change the volume at all though | 03:27 |
| flaccid | thats weird | 03:27 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | not master, not pcm, not digital, nothing.. since spdif doesnt have a volume control while im running through the surround sound i cannot adjust the volume | 03:27 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so i was wondering how to set up sort of a software master volume control with my spdif via softvol | 03:28 |
| flaccid | that is probably how its meant to be as its digital line level out | 03:28 |
| flaccid | still, if you have digital/spdif fader in kmix/alsamixer then it should control it | 03:28 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | its not a linux issue.. since it didnt work in windows either | 03:29 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | not XP that is | 03:29 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | in vista.. vista had a sound mixer that adjusted software volume which worked fine | 03:29 |
| flaccid | ok then BluesKaj is probably right on the money | 03:29 |
| flaccid | still there is quite a lot on google about spidf volume and alsa etc. | 03:30 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | nothing ive found was useful though | 03:30 |
| calcmandan | Running Kubuntu 8.04.1 fully updated. Have been running Star Trek Armada II via Wine 1.0 the last month or so. No issues outside of the game's memory leaks. Well, a day has passed since I've been getting an error msg stating i"m out of memory, to increase swap file size. I don't know where this came from. I have over 1.5gb of ram available and 5gb of swap. Is there a setting that's affecting this? | 03:30 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | the closest thing ive found is the softvol plugin for alsa but i dont know how to configure it properly | 03:30 |
| flaccid | calcmandan: maybe try #wine and google | 03:31 |
| calcmandan | flaccid: i've tried #winehq. | 03:32 |
| BluesKaj | spiel_mit_feuer: maybe there's an optional volume ctrl setting , like there used to be on old tape decks etc , fixed volume setting or dynamic on your soundcard software | 03:32 |
| flaccid | spiel_mit_feuer: this may help http://www.terdmonk.com/Using+ALSA's+softvol+plugin+and+max_dB and there is lots more on google about this stuff | 03:32 |

| _2 | flaccid yeah i need a read alternative | 03:38 |
| flaccid | _2: fair enough. ##bash might be a better place for help | 03:39 |

| Nihilam | Had a quick question - At some point during my upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04, my console (not Konsole, the non-gui version) began to display all the ncurses-based program's colors far dimmer than they should be. Under Konsole, they're fine. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what. | 03:51 |
| abgeanpr | hi | 03:51 |
| abgeanpr | had a quick question for you guys | 03:52 |
| abgeanpr | wanted to check as to how you can get KDE4 package going on kubuntu 8.X | 03:52 |
| abgeanpr | ?? | 03:52 |
| abgeanpr | 'cause all sites point to srcs to be compile | 03:52 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | better yet | 03:52 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | how do i find out the name linux recognizes my audio card? | 03:53 |
| _2 | Nihilam ummm reinstall console-data & console-tools maybe | 03:53 |
| abgeanpr | and that requires bunch of depend'cs | 03:53 |
| flaccid | !enter | abgeanpr | 03:53 |
| ubottu | abgeanpr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:53 |

| jon_ | _2: my wireless card stopped working the day after i installed a bunch of updates from system update | 03:54 |
| flaccid | jon_: driver for the wireless may of been kernel dependent, but it could be a few things | 03:54 |
| jon_ | _2 they had a kernel and some header files, which i didnt need so i didnt see why they suggested i install it, but i didnt think it would matter | 03:54 |
| _2 | jon_ did you have to compie a driver for your card ? if so you'll have to rebuild it | 03:54 |
| jon_ | _2 do i need to worry about doing away with extra kernels? | 03:55 |
| flaccid | yeah re-install/compile of driver might do the trick. you can also select the old kernel from grub and boot with that to see if it is the problem | 03:55 |
| _2 | jon_ worry ? no. but it's a relatively good idea to keep an old (known to work well) kernel around, | 03:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | hey | 03:56 |
| abgeanpr | but 8.0.41 says the it has kernel 3.0 | 03:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i change my keyboard layout to spanish? | 03:56 |
| abgeanpr | so any ideas? | 03:56 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so.. whats listed when i type aplay -l isnt the name? | 03:56 |
| jon_ | how can i tell what all kernels i have and get rid of any extras? | 03:56 |
| flaccid | abgeanpr: i dont understand what you are saying | 03:56 |
| jon_ | because i think i may have 2 of the same one | 03:57 |
| abgeanpr | primarily i have kubuntu 8.0.4.x running ; so does it mean it is 4.x KDE ? | 03:57 |
| _2 | jon_ ls /lib/modules | 03:57 |

| abgeanpr | well the first question would be Ubuntu 8.04.1 is listed in /etc/issue | 04:00 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: besides keyboard & mouse in system settings, i have no idea | 04:00 |
| abgeanpr | but how to look at KDE 4 as a confirmation ? | 04:00 |
| rodolinux | can anyone tell me what is the command to open an installation .tar.gz | 04:00 |
| abgeanpr | tar -xvzf | 04:00 |
| flaccid | abgeanpr: read what ubottu showed you which is this: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php | 04:00 |
| abgeanpr | should do it | 04:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | flaccid: i am there but i dont see the layout option | 04:00 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: neither do i | 04:01 |

| spiel_mit_feuer | well i figured out the device i want to use is called hw 0,1 i think | 04:26 |
| * _2 wonders why a laptop is not a computer... | 04:27 | |

| dr_Willis | Normally a user is a member of specific groups that allows them to use specific devices. | 04:34 |

| Nihilam | Is there a kubuntu console-specific channel? | 04:35 |
| dr_Willis | what /dev/XXXXX item? | 04:35 |
| dr_Willis | kubuntu console specific - would be a bit missnomer. the 'console' and 'command line' should be identical in ubuntu/kubuntu, and very similer to most other disrtos. | 04:36 |
| flaccid | its probably the audio group you need to be a member of | 04:38 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | how do i change that? | 04:38 |
| === ubuntu is now known as justdweezil | ||
| dr_Willis | audio:x:29:pulse,willis | 04:39 |
| flaccid | change what? | 04:40 |

| spiel_mit_feuer | become member of the audio group | 04:41 |
| shosho | shosho | 04:41 |
| dr_Willis | check your /etc/group file to see if your user is a member or audio first.. it may not be the issue | 04:41 |
| flaccid | spiel_mit_feuer: check which groups you are in quickly with the groups command. and then kuser is probably the easiest way to add yourself to the group if not already | 04:42 |
| shosho | hesham | 04:42 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | what would it be called in /etc/group | 04:42 |
| dr_Willis | audio:x:29:pulse,willis | 04:42 |
| flaccid | spiel_mit_feuer: or User Management in system settings | 04:42 |
| dr_Willis | the groupname is 'audio' | 04:43 |
| flaccid | best to not edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group manually... | 04:43 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | there is no group name audio | 04:43 |
| flaccid | spiel_mit_feuer: how did you conclude that? which ubuntu version is this? | 04:44 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | 8.04 | 04:44 |

| Nihilam | Willis: Which barely answers my question. I've great interest in the proper naming of things, but at the moment I'd like to know if you (or anyone) knows of a, preferably linux derived, console-specific channel. | 04:45 |
| dr_Willis | Theres the #bash channel Nihilam that proberly is the closest you will fine. | 04:45 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | how did oyu check which release you were on | 05:44 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | on the terminal | 05:44 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker lsb_release -a | 05:45 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker can compare the kernel version too uname -a | 05:45 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | itll take me a couple days to sort through me entire list of music to come up with a good playlist... but its good for now.. yay | 05:45 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | -2: Release: 8.04 | 05:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Codename: hardy | 05:46 |
| _2 | kool | 05:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | however: Linux sebastian 2.6.15-52-386 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jun 9 17:24:46 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 05:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ^this is not good | 05:46 |
| _2 | hmmm running an older kernel. i see | 05:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | when i boot up i have to boot up from the old kernel because the new one will give me some error that says busybox, ash something | 05:47 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker ah the initramfs.img not able to mount the root fs probably because they change to using scsi emulation by default | 05:48 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker what does cat /proc/cmdline tell us ? | 05:48 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | how do i check how much space is used on a partition? | 05:49 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker loves _2 | 05:49 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | _2: root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash | 05:49 |
| _2 | ummm hmmm and the newer setup is trying to mount /dev/hda2 but using scsi emulation the device changed to /dev/sda2 ... not sure what is the easiest way to fix that.... | 05:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i also had to remount the partition | 05:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | the um...thing, you know...yeah, that, had to be remounted | 05:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ntsf | 05:51 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker you could edit the cmdline in grub at boot time and test just changing hda to sda and see if it boots that way. | 05:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | _2: what if it doesnt? | 05:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can i do it from the shell? | 05:52 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker if you want to experiment with that. the [esc] key will let you select the newer kernel and hit [e] to edit it. then select the kernel line and hit [e] to edit the line change the h to an s and hit [enter] then hit [b] note. that's a one time edit. it's not sticky if it works you'll have to edit the menu.lst to have it permanant | 05:53 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker that's all at the grub menu prompt ^ | 05:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | hmmm | 05:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | further explain please i know esc gets me to the choose which operative system you want to pick, first is the new kernel | 05:56 |
| _2 | it is also possable (we hope this is not the case) that your initramfs.img for the new kernel will have to be rebuilt. depending on whether or not that ^ test works out or not. also if it spits you out in that busybox shell again do this ls /dev and take note of what is in there. specificly sd things. | 05:56 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker yes. [esc] then the [e] key lets you make temperory changes to the selection. | 05:57 |
| _2 | the [b] key boots it. | 05:57 |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker the directional keys will allow you to possition the cursor where you want it and the del and backspace whould both work also. | 05:58 |
| _2 | whould << heh that's a hybird could/should/would word | 05:59 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker is scared shiftless of smucking up everyhing | 05:59 | |
| _2 | CostaRicanQuaker nothing you do in that grub prompt is permanant. | 06:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok...let me just read this a couple more times | 06:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and dont go | 06:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i might even write this down | 06:00 |
| _2 | copy / paste > textfile... | 06:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no printer, | 06:01 |
| _2 | make exact copy. then you can hold _2 accountable if you break something.... | 06:01 |
| === _2 is now known as Agent_bob | ||
| Agent_bob | :) | 06:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | aha! | 06:02 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker sends himself email with everything | 06:02 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: ok i am going to do that | 06:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i just type e and that lets me edit it? | 06:03 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 06:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 06:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: DO NOT LEAVE PLEASE | 06:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: | 06:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | which was i suposed to edit the new kernel or the old kernel? io mean the hardy kernel or the dapper kernel? i did the first e on the new kernel | 06:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | there it had three lists ubuntu disks kernel and something else so i went to kernel | 06:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and typed e again | 06:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | then there was this | 06:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | D54587E4f loop=/ubuntu/disks/roo.tdosl ro quiet splash | 06:12 |
| Gr3y_ | any alsa experts in here? | 06:12 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker the new kernel listed, and when you hit e the first time it will show the title; the kernel; and maybe some other lines. select the "kernel" line and hit e again. | 06:12 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker wait. are you running that from a "wubi" install ? | 06:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what? no...i did install wubi at one point but no...i deleted that...that-s from when the kernel upgraded the other day | 06:13 |
| Agent_bob | well that line looks like it's looking for linux in ntfs space. the loop=/ubuntu/disks/roo.tdosl portion you specified that is... anyway it should have something like root=/dev/hda2 and you change the hda to sda and go. | 06:15 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: so what do i do now? | 06:15 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and i'll see if i can make heads or tails of what you are saying/seeing | 06:16 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | haha | 06:16 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | got | 06:16 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | it | 06:17 |
| Gr3y_ | the issue i'm having is that i installed a video card with an HDMI port, and now alsa wants to use that as it's primary output. but i'm piping into my tv via the onboard sound, how can I tell alsa to ignore the videocard so all my stuff works? | 06:17 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: which command for that:? | 06:17 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker you have a GUI ? konqueror could let you view the contents of that file. | 06:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but from the terminal | 06:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what command do i type? | 06:18 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker ok. cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !pastebin | 06:19 |

| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker i don't need the comments so maybe. grep -v '^#' /boot/grub/menu.lst would be more to our liking | 06:19 |
| Agent_bob | it's much shorter | 06:20 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27412/ | 06:21 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker ok you are using UUID throughout and they are the same fs descriptor. so that's not the issue. i guess you will have to rebuild the initramfs image. | 06:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: sure | 06:25 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-386 2.6.24-19-386 # and watch for error messages. | 06:25 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | wait | 06:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i will have to reboot it seems agent bob | 06:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i did something odd on xfce...apparently | 06:28 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 06:28 |
| Agent_bob | ya don't reboot for that </rolls_eyes> | 06:28 |
| * mr---t- reboot in linux ha ha | 06:29 | |
| Agent_bob | mr---t- see, see! the old "reboot will fix anything" mentality rears it's ugly head in our free OS .... | 06:30 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: | 06:35 |
| mr---t- | Agent_bob: yes | 06:35 |
| Agent_bob | yes | 06:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so what do i type in the terminal again? | 06:35 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-386 2.6.24-19-386 # and watch for error messages. | 06:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: nothing happened | 06:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-386 2.6.24-19-386 ? | 06:37 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker ok good. in linux "no error means no error" | 06:37 |
| Agent_bob | it should have asked for password tho | 06:37 |
| kubuntu | holaaaaaa ??'??'''''????????????? | 06:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes | 06:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it did | 06:38 |
| Agent_bob | ok you can reboot into the new kernel now. "we hope" | 06:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 06:38 |
| Agent_bob | at least that's the way to test it. | 06:38 |

| flaccid | yeah congrats. i have to walk the dogs now i'll bbl | 06:49 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | managed to get the pcm output routed to the spdif and the pcm output volume now works to control mine | 06:49 |
| * Agent_bob was starting to wonder about CostaRicanQuaker | 06:50 | |
| flaccid | nice job | 06:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: this is not good...it did work sure, but thatñs a completely empty gnome, no moutned partition, no programs, no xfce and kde | 06:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what do i do? | 06:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i had to reboot in the old kernel again | 06:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | because this ubuntu didnt have xchat | 06:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | sure it's hardy but... | 06:50 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker hmmm should have "irssi" a text based irc client | 06:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | didnt see it...it was definetly hardy heron | 06:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and new | 06:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but...waht do i do? | 06:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i mean...how do i get rid of a kernel and import everything to the othe | 06:51 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker BUT ! it should have been the same system basicly | 06:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | should? | 06:52 |
| Agent_bob | yeah should. | 06:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it wasnt, the taskbar was up, when i have it at the bottom | 06:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and there was no option to boot from xubuntu or kubuntu like on here | 06:52 |
| * Agent_bob thinks boot is a misnomer there | 06:53 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | er... | 06:53 |
| Agent_bob | you don't boot a desktop environment. you boot an operating system. i.e. linux then you start the DE on top of that OS | 06:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | you know what i mean | 06:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | log | 06:53 |
| Agent_bob | yeah. anyway. starting a new kernel should not change the configurations of a linux system. that's not how it works. | 06:55 |
| Agent_bob | let me revisit that menu.lst stand by. | 06:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | mine or yours? | 06:55 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker right now you are running 2.6.15-52-386 "uname -r" | 06:56 |
| Agent_bob | ? | 06:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | let me see | 06:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yep | 06:57 |
| Agent_bob | there is nothing about that other kernel that should change things for you. only thing that comes to my mind is that the other kernel might not have some module loading properly, and thus causing a failed mount of your home dir that would explain diferent look and feel of the gui but the system underneeth should be the same. | 06:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but how come the settings are different, like the programs from kde arent there | 07:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and the wallpaper, the desktop environment | 07:00 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker you know how to get to and from a console to gui right ? | 07:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | alt +ctrl+f1? | 07:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and f7? | 07:00 |
| Agent_bob | yes | 07:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so... | 07:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | waht do i do? | 07:02 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker boot the new kernel drop to a console and login then type " irssi -n kostaRicanQuaker -c irc.freenode.net " /join #kubuntu and lets have a look at what is going on there. | 07:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok wait | 07:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 07:06 |
| Agent_bob | woops i took my other me out too... | 07:07 |
| Agent_bob | oh well, i dont need a clone | 07:07 |
| Agent_bob | oh krap. i didn't mention to him to use alt+# to switch windows in irssi... maybe i should hide now o.O | 07:09 |
| ericjones | how do i get java working in konqueror? | 07:10 |
| ericjones | !java | 07:10 |
| ubottu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper | 07:10 |
| ericjones | I can never get java working. | 07:10 |
| Agent_bob | sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 07:11 |
| ericjones | I have java installed. I just can't seem to get it working in the browser. | 07:11 |
| ericjones | I can use java in firefox Agent_bob. | 07:11 |
| Agent_bob | enabled globaly in konq's settings ? | 07:12 |
| ericjones | Yes sir | 07:12 |
| * Agent_bob <shrugs> idk | 07:12 | |
| ericjones | Agent_bob: does it have to be version 6? I have 5 because it's the only version that works with some sites I visit, such as pogo.com. | 07:13 |
| Agent_bob | i never use it, other than javascript in webbrowser every now an then. | 07:13 |
| Agent_bob | ericjones no. 5 should work | 07:13 |
| ericjones | Ok, thank you. Is there some other place I could look or ask? | 07:14 |
| Agent_bob | ericjones you can try here when others are active. and you can ask in ##linux any time. but that doesn't mean you'll get an answer. | 07:15 |
| ericjones | Agent_bob: thanks. i appreciate the help. I'm content to use firefox since I managed to get the qt/gtk issue worked out that makes it so ugly after first install. I just wanted to give it a try. | 07:15 |
| Agent_bob | ericjones repost your question here every half hour or so. and you'll get someone that can answer it. | 07:16 |
| Agent_bob | !patience | 07:16 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 07:16 |
| ericjones | Agent_bob: will do. thanks again. | 07:16 |
| Agent_bob | welcome. | 07:16 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: didnt work | 07:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i just downloaded xchat on this thing | 07:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it-s not only stripped down from programs but much slower | 07:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | which is odd as it's just gnome | 07:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so I'm on the gui | 07:23 |
| Agent_bob | ok lets look at the mount table and process table. pastebin the output of " pstree " and " cat /etc/fstab /proc/mounts " | 07:23 |
| Agent_bob | that will tell us what if anything is not mounted where it should be. | 07:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !pastebin | 07:26 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | i dont get why gnome is so slow | 07:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it looks like it has some added eyecandy too...like the cube switch between desktops | 07:26 |
| Agent_bob | ah enabled effects will slow down the system and change the look/feel | 07:27 |
| ubuntu_ | hi | 07:28 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ | 07:28 |
| ubuntu_ | I have a problem with grub | 07:28 |
| Agent_bob | me too. | 07:28 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 07:28 |
| ubuntu_ | :'( | 07:28 |
| ubuntu_ | ahah | 07:28 |
| Agent_bob | but we can probably solve yours | 07:28 |
| ubuntu_ | I have read all guide | 07:29 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker taps fingers on desktop while firefox opens pastebin | 07:29 | |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ just spell out what the issue is. | 07:29 |
| ubuntu_ | but there is anything I missi | 07:30 |
| ubuntu_ | I have 3 hd | 07:30 |
| ubuntu_ | one of them is partitionated with swap and / | 07:30 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: dillo is a very fast browser. Or you can upgrade to firefox3 | 07:30 |
| ubuntu_ | another for /home | 07:31 |
| ubuntu_ | the third nothing | 07:31 |
| Agent_bob | how big is / | 07:31 |
| ubuntu_ | 240 Gb | 07:31 |
| purpleposeidon | or there's w3m, which is terminal based. (But it's annoying, I prefer lynx) | 07:31 |
| Agent_bob | that could be the problem | 07:31 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon elinks | 07:32 |
| ubuntu_ | is / bigger? | 07:32 |
| purpleposeidon | Agent_bob: gotcha, installing | 07:34 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ yeah i'm not sure how large of an fs grub can mount it may not support > 100g but a simple solution would be to add a small boot partition some place and mount it to /mnt copy the content of /boot remount /mnt to /boot then reinstall grub | 07:34 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon the default config for elinks has black on white which i dont like but it's easily changed | 07:35 |
| ubuntu_ | ok....one moment...I have no windows system on other partition, but when I have installed Kubuntu I have done logical partitio, so I have no primary partition...is this the problem? | 07:36 |
| purpleposeidon | Agent_bob: Really? I'm seeing white-text-on-black | 07:36 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon good. they changed it lol | 07:36 |
| Agent_bob | i was hoping they would | 07:36 |
| purpleposeidon | It's black-and-white. :/ | 07:36 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ no. linux doesn't much care where it lives as long as the filesystem supports full posix attributes | 07:37 |
| ubuntu_ | ok... | 07:37 |
| vbgunz | anyone know of a good bookmark manager that can merge firefox and konqueror book marks into one? remove duplicates? | 07:37 |
| purpleposeidon | (Thought: Default name for irc clients on livecd's should be "ubuntu-installer"...) | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ may i ask why you gave / 200+g of space and also have a seperate /home ? | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | my / takes about 5g | 07:38 |
| purpleposeidon | ubuntu_ / really doesn't need to be that big for generic home use | 07:39 |
| ubuntu_ | i have 2 hd of 250Gb | 07:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: this had already happened, here-s what i did i just turned off the visual effects and lost: the buttons to minimize, maximize and close, the title bars on windows and i cant get windows to swtich as clicking on the task bar wont do anything | 07:39 |
| purpleposeidon | ah. It'd be nice to have /home across two hard drives... | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ but making / too big may have just caused you an issue... ;/ | 07:39 |
| ubuntu_ | mmm ok | 07:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so waht do i do? someone had told me to do something like rf whtever... | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon i can think of two ways to do that | 07:40 |
| purpleposeidon | Agent_bob: Do tell. Let me guess... LVM and raid? | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | ok lets look at the mount table and process table. pastebin the output of " pstree " and " cat /etc/fstab /proc/mounts " | 07:40 |
| ubuntu_ | how should it be big? | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker ^ | 07:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes? | 07:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i cant | 07:41 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i cant move to windows etc | 07:41 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | somethign happened to the config | 07:41 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no minimize buttons, no way of moving windows or switching windows | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ oh i doubt that you would fill 20g root partition before you buy new hardware. | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker cant "alt+tab" cant alt+[left_mouse] drag the window ? | 07:42 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | this had happened to me with kde and someone helped me erlier | 07:42 |
| ubuntu_ | I can do / 100gb? is it true? | 07:42 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: nope | 07:43 |
| ubuntu_ | Haven't I any problem in the future? | 07:43 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: alt-f1; login; export DISPLAY=:0; kwin &; alt-f7 ? | 07:43 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | someone had told me to type something like rm or | 07:43 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ search for file system size limitations in grub. i really don't know what the max partition size is for grub. | 07:43 |
| purpleposeidon | Though I don't know what your whole problem is | 07:43 |
| purpleposeidon | max partition size in grub? o_O | 07:44 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon yes how large of an fs can grub mount to load it's files ? | 07:44 |
| ubuntu_ | however this isn't the problem...because before I have grub on a partition of 300Gb... | 07:44 |
| ubuntu_ | I think it is a problem of menu.lst | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon he just tried / > 250g | 07:45 |
| purpleposeidon | No idea.... | 07:45 |
| purpleposeidon | but yeah, 250g / is really wasteful | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ you had a working grub with the boot file in a 300g partition ? | 07:46 |
| aib | i have a 64 bit system. why is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 a symlink to /usr/lib32/ld-linux.so.2, which is a 32 bit library?! | 07:46 |
| ubuntu_ | before I had raid | 07:46 |
| ubuntu_ | so...it was so big | 07:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i cant type that command into the terminal | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | because i cant find a way to type ; | 07:48 |
| ubuntu_ | why, if now I set root=/dev/sda6 and I'll restart system grub doesn't work and after sda6 isn't my / partition but is sdb6 or sdc6? | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | as the layout for f1 seems to be in english | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and i cant get that sign with my keyboard | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | nor paste | 07:48 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: Really? I would think the function keys would be pretty, uh, standard | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | oh wait i found it | 07:49 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: Okay, wait | 07:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | the program kwin | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | isnot currently installed | 07:50 |
| purpleposeidon | pressing ctrl-alt-f7 should bring you back to your normal screen. | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | you can install it by sudo...etc | 07:50 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: Oh, uhm, metacity then? | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | whats the command? | 07:50 |
| purpleposeidon | export DISPLAY=:0; metacity | 07:51 |
| purpleposeidon | if you use gnome | 07:51 |
| ubuntu_ | in grub I must set device (hd??) ? | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | cool | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | everything's back to normal | 07:51 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon note. he was using the system without issue until reboot into newer kernel. | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: now what? | 07:51 |
| purpleposeidon | oh, I see. That's interesting. | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | oh yeah | 07:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | hold on | 07:51 |
| ubuntu_ | if my / is on sda6 I'll set device (hd0), is it right? | 07:52 |
| purpleposeidon | It usually keeps the old kernels on the list. | 07:52 |
| purpleposeidon | and if not, I think there's a backup of menu.lst | 07:52 |
| stevecarolinian | I getting java script errors when tryin to check my hotmail email. Anyone know what I can do to remedy this? | 07:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27425/ | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ probably (hd0,1) maybe (hd0,0) even. | 07:53 |
| ubuntu_ | no...error 15: file not found | 07:53 |
| ubuntu_ | :s | 07:53 |
| purpleposeidon | ubuntu_: Is there not a /boot/grub/menu.lst~ ? | 07:53 |
| ubuntu_ | sì | 07:54 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | compiz <<< ^ CostaRicanQuaker that's the new effects you mentioned. | 07:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: and http://paste.ubuntu.com/27426/ | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | yeah looking. | 07:54 |
| purpleposeidon | ubuntu_ You could try going into the grub console and typing configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst~ | 07:54 |
| ublongata | anyone know how the hell to get firefox to play rtsp streams with realplayer.. i added some long string in about:config pointing to the binary but absolutely nothing happens when i click a rtsp link | 07:55 |
| ubuntu_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27427/ | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker software raid ? | 07:57 |
| ubuntu_ | this is boot/grub/menu.lst~ | 07:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: what? | 07:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is that a command for me to enter? | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | are you using a software raid ? | 07:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what is that? | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | ok we hope you are not then. | 07:59 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon you know anything about raid setups in fstab ? | 07:59 |
| purpleposeidon | not a thing | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker that looks like the fstab of a raid array | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | and i know nothing about raid setups | 08:00 |
| purpleposeidon | whoa, that's long | 08:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: what do i do? | 08:01 |
| purpleposeidon | oh, that's also /proc/mounts | 08:01 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker is it working ? don't do anything to it if it's working. | 08:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what is working' | 08:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ?* | 08:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is what working? | 08:01 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker your system. | 08:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | my system's working, but there's no mounted partition, previously installed programs and desktop envrionments on this kernel | 08:02 |
| Agent_bob | cause you got out of my league with that fstab setup. and i probably can't fix it if we break it. | 08:02 |
| Agent_bob | so may i sujest you just reinstall what you want now in that system and go with it. | 08:03 |
| purpleposeidon | oh, it's wubi | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what about the old kernel? | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | I did install wubi once | 08:03 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker you are in it now. | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | thinking it might do for a what do you call it...clean install | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i am in what? | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | am in wubi? | 08:03 |
| Agent_bob | the wubi install | 08:03 |
| Agent_bob | looks to me like | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but...i had uninstalled it | 08:03 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is that good or bad? | 08:04 |
| purpleposeidon | it's interesting. | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | that would also explain the mount.ntfs process that's running | 08:04 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker feels like he has a weird new disease | 08:04 | |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker you explained it exactly | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | that's how i feel about your system. | 08:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | well, what am i to do from now on? it looks like this kernel is...well, the upgrade | 08:05 |
| * purpleposeidon goes into the corner to dicuss CostaRicanQuaker's issues with grim expressions | 08:05 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ha. ha. | 08:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what do i do!? ..., .... *sigh* :S | 08:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so apparently...this is what the upgrade is...but wht about the other stuff? | 08:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i get rid of theother kernel then? | 08:06 |
| Agent_bob | enjoy the fact that you have managed to setup a running linux system inside of a file somewhere. | 08:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | because thats definetly going to be taking up space | 08:07 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: I'm going to guess that you *think* you uninstalled wubi, but you actually didn't | 08:07 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | am i running from windows!? | 08:07 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker shrieks | 08:07 | |
| * CostaRicanQuaker winces | 08:07 | |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker no you are running a linux system that is installed inside a file | 08:07 |
| purpleposeidon | Not really. | 08:07 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | inside a file...where? | 08:08 |
| purpleposeidon | Unless you somehow managed to blue-pill yourself | 08:08 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker that's the $64k Q is it not. | 08:08 |
| purpleposeidon | CostaRicanQuaker: tell me about the output of ls /host | 08:08 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is it safe? | 08:08 |
| purpleposeidon | My command is safe. | 08:09 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no i meant | 08:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is it safe for me to be the way i am now | 08:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27428/ | 08:10 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker yes it's safe. but probably slower. i think i know where you are. i said "think" reboot the older kernel and do an ls /host/ubuntu/disks -l and see if there are not three very larg files in there. | 08:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok here's the one from here http://paste.ubuntu.com/27428/ | 08:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 08:11 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon you know that ls / right now with that file mounted over / will hide the origenal / | 08:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: so do i go? | 08:12 |
| Agent_bob | woops. | 08:12 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker wait | 08:12 |
| ubuntu_ | how should I do big /boot? | 08:12 |
| ubuntu_ | boot partition | 08:13 |
| ubuntu_ | 1 gb? | 08:13 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ i would make /boot about 1g | 08:13 |
| Agent_bob | yeah | 08:13 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 08:13 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker you are in ntfs space. | 08:13 |
| purpleposeidon | 1gb? uhhh | 08:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no | 08:13 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon his / is 250g | 08:14 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker yep. | 08:14 |
| purpleposeidon | Yeah, but still... | 08:14 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok so what od i do | 08:14 |
| Agent_bob | sda1 is ntfs | 08:14 |
| purpleposeidon | ubuntu_: Myself, I'd make it like 300mb | 08:14 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok | 08:14 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker ls /boot | 08:15 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | abi-2.6.24-19-generic initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic System.map-2.6.24-19-generic | 08:16 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | config-2.6.24-19-generic initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic.bak vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic | 08:16 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | grub memtest86+.bin | 08:16 |
| ubuntu_ | I make /boot parition -> ext3? | 08:16 |
| Agent_bob | journal is not needed ext2 would be fine. but it won't hurt anything either. | 08:17 |
| purpleposeidon | I wonder if there's any performance difference as far as start-up between ext2 and ext3 | 08:17 |
| purpleposeidon | No? I didn't think so either. | 08:17 |
| Agent_bob | not enough to measure purpleposeidon | 08:18 |
| Agent_bob | human measurements. not cpu tic's | 08:18 |
| purpleposeidon | Agent_bob: I've been living off of an ubuntu livecd, floppy disks and a 1gb flash drive with U3 on it. Trust me, you want to save space. | 08:19 |
| Agent_bob | you can measure time change by changing the lingth of a file name. in cpu tics | 08:19 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker puts water in the microwave for tea | 08:20 | |
| ubuntu_ | root partition (/) -> 100gb is good? | 08:20 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon heh. well. when you are wasting over 250g in the / and home is the same size i don't think he'll miss a few houndred m in /boot | 08:21 |
| Agent_bob | ubunut_ it's plenty | 08:21 |
| purpleposeidon | He could make an empty 230GB partition and then figure out how to merge it with /home | 08:21 |
| Agent_bob | it's probably 10x what you will actually use.... | 08:21 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon he has an empty/untouched drive.. | 08:22 |
| purpleposeidon | mount /dev/sda3 /home/`whoami`/pr0n | 08:22 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon and unionfs can "merge" them. | 08:23 |
| purpleposeidon | Agent_bob: If you say so. :D I've never done anything with unionfs | 08:23 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: what do i do now | 08:24 |
| ubuntu_ | ok I have done /boot (500mb) swap (1gb) / all on one hd | 08:25 |
| ubuntu_ | on the other /home | 08:25 |
| ubuntu_ | I hope this solve my problem | 08:25 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker back you your "weird new disease" use it like it is man. if you have the disk space some place you could copy all the files form /* to a safe place mop out that drive and start over with the files you saved... but. that's not as easy as it sounds either. | 08:25 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i didnt get that | 08:26 |
| Agent_bob | i'll clean it up. | 08:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can i get rid of the old kernel? on what partition am i now? ...i cant be on here if this is the windows partition...right? | 08:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | that will eventually be chaos for the hard drive or not? | 08:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what part of the disk is this on? | 08:27 |
| guido | hola? | 08:28 |
| purpleposeidon | !es | guido | 08:28 |
| ubottu | guido: 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. | 08:28 |
| guido | ok, sorry | 08:29 |
| purpleposeidon | well, you can speak english here if you want. | 08:29 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker back to your "weird new disease" as you called it. use it just the way it is. if you have the disk space somewhere, and you want to try, you could copy all the files form /* to a safe place,(other disk) mop out that drive(cat zero > device) and start over with the files you saved... in other words move out of wubi(ntfs space) but! that's not as easy as it sounds, and a clean install would still b | 08:29 |
| guido | I'm totally new at kubuntu and I was wondering if I could get some help :) | 08:30 |
| Agent_bob | technecly you are not in a partition, you are in a file on a partition. i don't know a better way to put it. | 08:30 |
| Agent_bob | !welcome | guido | 08:30 |
| ubottu | guido: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 08:30 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok...so how much diskspace do i have on this...kernel? | 08:30 |
| Agent_bob | !help | guido | 08:30 |
| ubottu | guido: Hi! I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 08:30 |
| purpleposeidon | guido: We don't actually talk to eachother here, we use the bot. | 08:31 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker "df -h" should be able to answer that. | 08:31 |
| guido | ohh, I see | 08:31 |
| guido | ok | 08:31 |
| guido | thanks | 08:31 |
| purpleposeidon | guido: I was joking. | 08:31 |
| * Agent_bob slips a firecracker under purpleposeidon 's shoe and lights it. | 08:31 | |
| guido | lol | 08:31 |
| guido | like I mentioned, I'm totally new at this | 08:31 |
| purpleposeidon | like, totally | 08:32 |
| guido | I know there's this whole culture about it | 08:32 |
| purpleposeidon | !ask | guido | 08:32 |
| ubottu | guido: 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. :-) | 08:32 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27431/ | 08:32 |
| Agent_bob | it's like you know like totally, dude. | 08:32 |
| guido | indeed | 08:33 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker looks like you have 11g free in that file. | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok... | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so here's what is best i think | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | erase this ubuntu | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | with its kernel and everything | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and go abck to the old kernel | 08:34 |
| Agent_bob | aka mop out the disk. | 08:34 |
| BritneyBitch | Im here!!! | 08:34 |
| BritneyBitch | Haha | 08:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and forget about it till i get the cds from shipit | 08:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | aka mopout the disk? | 08:34 |
| adrien | Bonjour le monde | 08:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | there must be some way to get this wubied ubutu out of ntsf right? | 08:34 |
| BritneyBitch | Bonjour | 08:35 |
| purpleposeidon | !fr | 08:35 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 08:35 |
| adrien | #kubuntu-fr | 08:35 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker like i said you can copy it to another location. even on the same hdd but i prefer a seperate hdd for the transfer. | 08:35 |
| Agent_bob | and doing so is not childs play. | 08:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | cant it jsut be erased? | 08:36 |
| Agent_bob | and you are still young in linux time. | 08:36 |
| Agent_bob | yes it can. | 08:36 |
| purpleposeidon | Agent_bob: fire crackers are SO 1950's | 08:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i've been just squirted | 08:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | in linux time | 08:36 |
| Agent_bob | purpleposeidon :) what would you have? a car bomb ? | 08:36 |
| purpleposeidon | car bombs are so middle-east. Which is 58 years behind. SO 1950's. | 08:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | my question is: can i delete this ubuntu from the ntsf partition without erasing THE ntsf partition and then go back to my everday old kernel life until i can upgrade with the cds from shipit | 08:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ? | 08:37 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker i used to have a moto "i reload twice a week wheather i need to or not" now i haven't reloaded this system in over three years. | 08:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | reload? | 08:38 |
| cpk1 | CostaRicanQuaker: my question is whats going to be the difference between what you have installed now and what you will install? | 08:38 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker i'm not sure the other kernel isn't also in wubi land. | 08:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i'm sure it isnt! | 08:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can you wait for me to log out and go check? | 08:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | good, brb | 08:39 |
| Agent_bob | cpk1 it's in wubi land on ntfs. i.e. preformance loss for one. | 08:39 |
| BritneyBitch | balalalalalal | 08:39 |
| BritneyBitch | blubbblubbblubbblubbblubbblubb | 08:39 |
| purpleposeidon | !stfu | BritneyBitch | 08:39 |
| ubottu | BritneyBitch: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 08:39 |
| bob3213243_ | is there a way to test my LAN speed in ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| cpk1 | oh I see I read it as nfs =P | 08:40 |
| purpleposeidon | oh. interesting. | 08:40 |
| purpleposeidon | jfgi? hmm | 08:40 |
| cpk1 | google it purpleposeidon =P | 08:40 |
| BritneyBitch | you are n00bs! | 08:40 |
| purpleposeidon | amazing, wtf doesn't know wtf it is either | 08:40 |
| purpleposeidon | amazing. | 08:40 |
| cpk1 | BritneyBitch: might want to consider changing your name | 08:41 |
| Agent_bob | BritneyBitch play nice. | 08:41 |
| cpk1 | Agent_bob: I suppose the easiest thing for him would be to make a linux friendly partition and move everything to that and then keep or delete the ntfs partition | 08:41 |
| cpk1 | hopefully he has space for it | 08:41 |
| BritneyBitch | You are so a n000b, i hate this channel. bye, bye, i will coming never | 08:42 |
| cpk1 | if not then he obviously needs a newer, bigger hdd =P | 08:42 |
| cpk1 | and now we are all enlightened | 08:42 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_Bob: now what do i do? | 08:43 |
| cpk1 | CostaRicanQuaker: if you just want to get your linux stuff off of the ntfs partition I would recommend if you have the space for it creating a linux friendly partition and then moving everything over to that and then doing whatever you wish with the ntfs partition after that | 08:44 |
| cpk1 | if I understand your problem correctly | 08:44 |
| Agent_bob | cpk1 migrating is not that easy for a beginner either. there are several things that aren't obvious to them. like the fstab the initramfs image and the boot loader all have to be altered, as well as the fact that you have to copy without changing ownership or permissions, and hardlinks duplicate files when copied unless special attention is paid, not to mention the fact that you can just copy the device nodes or you'll get | 08:44 |
| purpleposeidon | lol@enlightenment.cpk1.com | 08:45 |
| cpk1 | Agent_bob: I would just move the /home really... | 08:45 |
| Agent_bob | cpk1 that wouldn't speed up the system tho. | 08:46 |
| ubuntu_ | ok I have finished installation | 08:46 |
| ubuntu_ | now I must only reboot system? | 08:46 |
| cpk1 | Agent_bob: make a partition for /home and then one for / to install into | 08:46 |
| Agent_bob | installed what ubuntu_ ? | 08:46 |
| ubuntu_ | kubuntu | 08:46 |
| cpk1 | then he has escaped ntfs | 08:47 |
| ubuntu_ | I have reinstalled all | 08:47 |
| Agent_bob | cpk1 install is what i recommend but he is waiting on shipit to arrive | 08:47 |
| cpk1 | heck you could just resize the available space and install into that then mount the ntfs and move over /home | 08:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | cpkl migrating is not that easy for a....was to me or to cpckl Agent_bob? | 08:47 |
| minhaaj | any help installing adesklets ? | 08:48 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker was about you and to him. i'm trying to NOT put through the linux school of hard knocks if possable. | 08:48 |
| cpk1 | heh, sometimes its the best way to learn =P | 08:49 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu_ yes should be a simple reboot into the newly installed kubuntu system. | 08:49 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks | 08:49 |
| cpk1 | CostaRicanQuaker: just know that there is no reason for you to lose your data in your /home there are plenty of options for you to move the data around and what not | 08:49 |
| Agent_bob | cpk1 but it will make you beat your wife... | 08:50 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 08:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok...so waht's the best way to go | 08:50 |
| Agent_bob | cpk1 it's also a "new" home. | 08:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | my aunt just let me know yesterday, gentlemen, that i got apackage from the netherlands | 08:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i dont know if thats where the shipit cds are meant ot come from | 08:50 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker best over all. clean install with the new cd's. best for learning, probably migrate to a clean spot. | 08:51 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker remember that we don't need to "relearn all this" and too many "ok what now?" will ware out the help... | 08:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: promise you'll help me: install either gnu's icecat or debian swifteasel, permanently mount the ntsf partition, kill george bush, etc? | 08:53 |
| Agent_bob | why did you pull the fire alarm ! | 08:54 |
| liquidat | Hi there, will the RC1 packages be ready today? | 08:54 |
| cpk1 | CostaRicanQuaker: I would say resizing your current partition to make room for an ext3 partition to install to and then moving over any data you want to save from ntfs to ext3 will be fairly easy and make a little more comfortable farting around on linux | 08:54 |
| Jucato | (for better or worse, till death do us part?) | 08:54 |
| cpk1 | !ibex | 08:54 |
| ubottu | Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion. Kubuntu Intrepid will have KDE 4 as the default Desktop Environment - see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidVersion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! | 08:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | or at least you know, mount the partition and finding the repo for swifteasel or icecat | 08:54 |
| Jucato | liquidat: KDE 4.1 RC1? if yes, try asking in #kubuntu-kde4 | 08:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: ? | 08:54 |
| * Jucato is surprised to see liquidat in here :P | 08:54 | |
| liquidat | Jucato: :-p | 08:55 |
| liquidat | Jucato: At my work I had to install a debian based distribution on my computer - so I went for Kubuntu ;) | 08:55 |
| Jucato | liquidat: aaaah.. I thought you made a complete conversion :P | 08:55 |
| liquidat | Jucato: Sorry to disappoint :D | 08:56 |
| Jucato | liquidat: oh, and the neon nightly builds probably have the latest and it's kubuntu based.. just not sure where their IRC channel is :D | 08:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: cpkl: i think i will just mope out the whole disk, reinstall windows and then ubuntu wheni get the cds hopefully tomorrow | 08:56 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker good call. imo | 08:57 |
| liquidat | Jucato: Does neon provide a full KDE 4? | 08:57 |
| liquidat | I thought they were only providing Amarok 2 packages... | 08:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: please help me mount the partition when i have to again, i tried doing iot on my own once and hten it turned out that it wasnt permanent | 08:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and also it was a pain to get the repos and the propper swifteasel | 08:57 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker we'll burn that bridge when we cross it. i make no promises not even that i'll be here. let alone do any particular theing. | 08:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: policy or you too have grown annoyed by yours truly? | 08:59 |
| Agent_bob | policy mostly :) | 08:59 |
| cpk1 | CostaRicanQuaker: we are all volunteer help, we have lives outside of irc =) | 08:59 |
| Agent_bob | and Jucato is the network guru extraordenare. | 09:00 |
| Agent_bob | or maybe not.... :) | 09:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes me too...my girl, shemight be attempting to break with me again...she's coming back from the US, she's 45, i'm 22...humans are unreliable, and they dont get it, i play the guitar and there's just no appreciation but i dont think that when you enter you go out unless you have a good rationale, and everythings an ethical choice, thats why i just got into gnu/linux and ubuntu | 09:01 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i want to become a programmer and learn everythingthere is about ubuntu | 09:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and then have no life and spent my time helping on irc | 09:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | programs seem more consistent or rational than people | 09:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | less painful too | 09:02 |
| Jucato | liquidat: full KDE (sorry stepped out a bit) | 09:02 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | thanks for your help | 09:02 |
| liquidat | Jucato: Ah, sounds perfect :) | 09:03 |
| liquidat | Jucato: I was just told that the neon packages are already KDE 4.2 Alpha.... | 09:04 |
| liquidat | That is a bit too much... ;) | 09:04 |
| Jucato | liquidat: oh they're tracking trunk? hm.. ok.. :) | 09:04 |
| Agent_bob | CostaRicanQuaker programs seem more consistent or rational than people <<< indeed consistent, but rational ? the definition of that would be debatable. as of yet, computers don't think. (a.i. is not quite that far along yet) | 09:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | rational meaning they stick to algorithms | 09:06 |
| Agent_bob | anyway. welcome. and i'll see you in a day or two. | 09:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | reasons | 09:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | yes, may peace be upon you | 09:06 |
| Agent_bob | than you. Shalom Aleichem | 09:06 |

My system tray on KDE usually has 2 icons together in a columb (on on top of the other) but recently as I open an icon they all go into a row which is irritating because it's stealing the space I use for programs... I can fix it by making the taskbar higher and then lowering it back to the 48 I want. How can I stop this happening? | 13:16 |

| DarkAudit | I installed apt-build, and *tried* to install the pan newsreader with sudo apt-build install pan. When it was finished compiling, apt instead downloaded and installed the binary from the regular Ubuntu repositories. It did the same thing even after I manually added my build directory to sources.list. I had to eventually install the built package manually.

| Rudd-O | if you were using wpa_supplicant, you could run a cronjob every minute that runs a ping and if ping dosnt succeed, you could ifdown ifup the interface | 16:16 |
| Rudd-O | but since it's knetworkmanager... | 16:16 |

| pag | Avenhawk, kubuntu and ubuntu share same core system | 16:36 |
| The_ManU_212 | what happened with the official servers? | 16:36 |
| The_ManU_212 | W: Konnte http://de.packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/non-free/binary-i386/Pack ages.gz nicht holen 404 Not Found [IP: 87.98.242.10 80] | 16:36 |
| rickest | Avenhawk: All *buntus are essentially the same, it's just the top layer that changes beween U and K and if both are installed, you can even switch back and forth | 16:36 |
| pag | The_ManU_212, medibuntu are not official servers - they're probably just down atm | 16:36 |
| The_ManU_212 | pag: ok and why?, is this bad for installing something? | 16:37 |
| Avenhawk | ah ok thanks for this info , hmm thats nice i think i loved kb more than ub because i liked KDE more =)) | 16:37 |
| pag | The_ManU_212, why what? they're proably down because of problems with banwidh or servers - I don't know more details | 16:39 |

| DarkAudit | I installed build-essential. I installed apt-build, and set it to athlon 64. The setup did NOT add the directory to my sources.list, even when it asked me if I wanted it to. When I did "sudo apt-build install pan", the package downloaded the necessary files to compile the package and started the compile. When it finished all that, it downloaded and installed the package from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main anyway, as i | 16:41 |
| Githzerai | The_ManU_212: sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring then try again sudo apt-get update && install | 16:41 |
| The_ManU_212 | Githzerai: why do i need now this keyring? | 16:43 |
| pag | The_ManU_212, depends on how you define 'good' - they might become handy in some situations, but on the other hand I've done wonderfully without them. it also depends on your juridiction; afaik downloading those codecs isn't legal in some countries (not sure though..) | 16:43 |
| Githzerai | The_ManU_212: to download key required for medibuntu repo..... | 16:43 |

| The_ManU_212 | Githzerai: but it worked fine all the months since now without??? | 16:44 |
| Githzerai | The_ManU_212: couldn't work fine without it.... | 16:44 |
| The_ManU_212 | Githzerai: but today its the first time taht i get this 404 error | 16:46 |
| The_ManU_212 | Githzerai: i remember that i added some key via wget, isnt it the same? | 16:47 |
| pag | The_ManU_212, it should be the same... | 16:48 |
| Githzerai | The_ManU_212: add same key again | 16:52 |
| The_ManU_212 | pag: there is a key in adept (this graphical tool) listed of 2006 for medibuntu but this medibuntu-keyring, isnt installed, and the only error i get is this temporary 404, but no with authentication.... why is this "double"? | 16:52 |
| The_ManU_212 | Githzerai: look^ | 16:53 |
| jussi01 | I thought medibuntu was down... | 16:53 |
| DarkAudit | even with deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main in my sources.list, apt-build will complile fine, then go right ahead and download and install the precompiled binary anyway, totally defeating the point of using apt-build in the first place. Something has gone wrong with setting apt-build up. What is it? | 16:53 |
| rickest | jussi01: it was yesterday morning | 16:54 |
| pag | The_ManU_212, because there first was a normal way, but then somebody decided that copypasteing one command is too hard for new users and created a package (which still forces a new user to either copypaste or fiddle around adept...) | 16:55 |
| Becker_11 | My laptop won't boot from a cd. It has done many times before. I think GRUB maybe getting in the way some how. How can I remove GRUB and restore my MBR pls?? | 16:56 |
| DarkAudit | deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main is the same priority level as the rest of the repositories. Is that the problem here? | 16:57 |
| The_ManU_212 | pag: so to add a key with adept and terminal is bad?, what to do, remove the manually added key and install the package? | 16:58 |

| genii | joe_: If they are added properly thats fine. Close Add/Remove then try from in Konsole: sudo apt-get update then: apt-cache search libk3b2-extracodecs to see if it shows as a package possible to install | 18:21 |
| joe_ | show i also do "Then, add the GPG Key: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update" As well? | 18:22 |
| joe_ | ok | 18:22 |
| genii | joe_: That step you just asked about should be done, yes | 18:23 |
| joe_ | no that's why i asked if i should do that one as well | 18:23 |
| joe_ | like i said i don't know linux very well but i'm gonna learn if it does kill me one way or another | 18:23 |
| genii | joe_: If you don't do the GPG key add, it won't be able to auto install anything from there | 18:24 |
| joe_ | the one that i did ask about i'm do'n it now | 18:24 |
| joe_ | ok i'm do'n that one rite now | 18:25 |
| joe_ | and it's done | 18:25 |
| genii | joe_: OK, so try now: apt-cache search libk3b2-extracodecs to see if it shows up | 18:25 |

| andare | genii: ok i'm gonna give it a shot rite now then i'll let u know what's go'n on | 19:12 |
| ubottu | crocojet: gtk-qt-engine (source: gtk-qt-engine): theme engine using Qt for GTK+ 2.x. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.8-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 100 kB, installed size 476 kB | 19:12 |

| andare | should i reinstall ubuntu and maybe that will hopefully fix my problem that i do with my computer cuz i would like to rip cd's to my computer and i know that it can work??? | 19:19 |
| wesley__ | how do i switch to kdm-kde4 ? | 19:20 |
| genii | andare: The libk3b2-extracodecs will let k3b play mp3 but to encode to mp3 I think another thing may be needed, like liblame0 | 19:20 |
| genii | wesley__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm if you currently use kdm. If gdm then substitute that in the command. Choose the login manager from there | 19:21 |
| andare | so then what do i need make sure that i can rip cd's to my computer and make sure that it does work with no problems??? | 19:21 |
| Lichte | Is there a way to keep firefox from installing 85 gnome apps when I try to install it??? | 19:21 |
| andare | i'm gonna remind everyone that my computer was make for windows 2000 and that i'm a newbie when it comes to linux | 19:22 |

| Lichte | ah....aptitude -R | 19:24 |
| Lichte | That's much better :) | 19:25 |

| DarkAudit | why, after properly installing apt-build through synaptic or adept, would apt then decide to download a precompiled binary when it just completed compiling the same package for the same architecture? | 19:31 |
| genii | andare: Since mp3 is a restricted, proprietary format you will have similar issues using it with whatever linux you try since it is anathema to the open source concept of linux. | 19:32 |
| enrry | from details view it ewas not possible to choose any entry, so I needed reboot and updating by apt-get update | 19:32 |
| andare | genii: ok and how can i do what u r ask'n me to do? | 19:33 |

| andare | genii: i have to remind everyone still that i'm a newbie when it comes to linux | 19:33 |

| jussi01 | crap, wrong window... oh well | 21:47 |
| genii | awkward_moment: Ask in #compiz-fusion please | 21:47 |
| engineer | wtf | 21:47 |
| DarkAudit | I tried again, this time through synaptic. Apt-build is building packages, then downloading and installing the package from the regular ubuntu repositories. There is NO local repository line in sources.list, even after dpkg asks me if I want to put the line there. There *is* the line in sources.list.save, but does that mean anything? I had to have missed something setting apt-build up in Hardy, but WHAT? | 21:50 |
| josa | where can i change login and logoff sounds | 21:53 |
| mefisto__ | josa: systemsettings > notifications | 21:54 |
| josa | ah.. missed the "source" pull down menu | 21:55 |
| josa | the next question would be how to make the sounds work :/. everything except system sounds work | 21:56 |
| Babuto | engineer ? | 22:03 |
| engineer | yeah? | 22:04 |
| Babuto | i can do an apt-get install x but not apt-get update. That stucks on [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] ... | 22:04 |
| Babuto | and i don't have any proxy set | 22:04 |
| genii | Repo timing out | 22:04 |
| engineer | choose a different rep | 22:04 |
| Babuto | but the repo i have are working | 22:05 |
| Babuto | http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mainly | 22:06 |
| Babuto | i can even ping it | 22:06 |
| Babuto | but i can't browse (firefox or konqueror) | 22:07 |
| [GuS] | guys,... i've download the Qt package to re-build the packge since i need its phonon lib enabled on compilation... but it seems that needs gst headers, even when i install it, still fails to compile it. Any solution? any tip?¿ | 22:07 |
| Babuto | and i can't browse with lynx neither | 22:07 |
| engineer | Babuto do the browsers have proxies set? | 22:07 |
| Babuto | no | 22:07 |

| bob3213243_ | ugh, I am having no luck getting video chat setup with OSX. Not sure what to do. | 22:17 |
| ahmed | i downloaded realplayer1.bin how to install it??? | 22:18 |
| partha_ | ahmed: why do you need realplayer? You can use mplayer to view realplayer files. | 22:19 |
| ahmed | partha_: i want to listen to radio streaming its a site which have radio its ot play i thought it need real player | 22:20 |
| engineer | !bin | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bin | 22:22 |
| engineer | ahmed ./file.bin | 22:22 |
| DarkAudit | there's and apt-build file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, should it be names apt-build.list like the other files in that directory are? | 22:22 |
| ahmed | engineer: i didnt get what u said | 22:23 |
| genii | ahmed: Follow instruction posted by the user called TheMacOne here: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-realplayer-multimedia-player His post is about two thirds of the way down the page | 22:25 |
| ahmed | genii: thanks iĺl try | 22:26 |
| partha_ | ahmed: hi. But I had to logout. Did you ask me something? | 22:32 |
| ahmed | partha_: i want to listen to radio streaming its a site which have radio its ot play i thought it need real player | 22:34 |
| partha_ | You might try that with mplayer or kaffeine. If it has a browser based interface, then mozilla mplayer plugin might work. | 22:35 |
| partha_ | ahmed: I had problems before installing the real player binaries.. | 22:35 |
| ahmed | u think its not the solution?? | 22:36 |
| partha_ | ahmed: you mean mplayer? | 22:36 |
| ahmed | partha_: i mean u think that if i install realplayer it will not make the radio work | 22:37 |
| partha_ | ahmed: If you manage to install real player it should work. I had trouble installing real player. Then again that might be for 64 bit. | 22:38 |
| admin_ | hey guys, I have a problem with apt with a dependency, happened before and someone explained what to do quickly , possibly with --force, I don't remmber. Here's the pastebin of it http://kubuntu.pastebin.org/51666 | 22:38 |

| Babuto | sorry genii i hadn't seen it | 23:10 |
| genii | Babuto: Get from http://www.robtex.com/dns/tiscali.fr.html the IPs for your ISP's nameservers and then put these IP numbers into the file /etc/resolv.conf in a way like: nameserver 213.36.80.2 for instance | 23:10 |

| kdavid | MementoMori: well I have been trying to use a external usb outlet and used my sd card on a card slot. Also I tried directly from a camera in a usb port nothing seems to work | 23:11 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: if it works add working nameserver to your configuration | 23:11 |
| genii | MementoMori: He has some dns issue, he can ping but broswser et al that use fqdn don't resolve | 23:11 |
| Babuto | ping 208.69.34.231 works | 23:12 |
| partha_ | ahmed: welcome | 23:12 |
| MementoMori | genii: tell Babuto opendns nameserver address so he can do a echo "nameserver IP" > /etc/resolv.conf | 23:13 |
| Babuto | MementoMori i'm here ^^ | 23:13 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: unplug the usb device camera from your pc | 23:13 |
| MementoMori | and open a konsole | 23:14 |
| kdavid | ok | 23:14 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: so search the opendns nameserver address and do a: | 23:14 |
| Babuto | how ? | 23:14 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: echo "nameserver xx.yy.xx.hh" > /etc/resolv.conf | 23:14 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: you are right | 23:15 |
| Babuto | i already added it | 23:15 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: where? | 23:15 |
| Babuto | in /etc/resolv.conf | 23:15 |

| kdavid | yes | 23:15 |
| MementoMori | ok write this command: | 23:16 |
| genii | Babuto: After those two commands try to ping by name. Like: ping google.com | 23:16 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: tail -f /var/log/messages | 23:16 |

| genii | Babuto: Unclick "Work Offline" in File menu of Firefox | 23:18 |
| Babuto | it's not clicked | 23:18 |
| Babuto | now, when i try to ping : unknown host www.google.om | 23:19 |
| Babuto | now, when i try to ping : unknown host www.google.com | 23:19 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: are you writing the lines by hand? | 23:19 |
| Babuto | what can i do next ? | 23:20 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: do you have windows on your pc? | 23:20 |
| kdavid | no I just pasted it | 23:20 |
| Babuto | yes | 23:20 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: gimme the link | 23:20 |
| kdavid | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27582/ | 23:20 |
| Babuto | but the problem isn't coming from here, because i can connect on others ethernet networks | 23:21 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: when you connect to internet do you use a username and password? | 23:21 |
| Babuto | no, i just have to plug the ethernet cable | 23:21 |
| Babuto | all my windows network is perfectly working | 23:21 |
| genii | Babuto: sudo dhclient -r eth0;sudo dhclient eth0 then try ping test by name again | 23:21 |
| Babuto | my connection is on eth1 | 23:22 |
| genii | Babuto: Substitute eth# name accordingly then | 23:22 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: you copy-pasted before you have plugged your device? | 23:22 |
| Babuto | ping name now works | 23:22 |
| genii | Babuto: You have an actual other ethernet adapter in there? That could explain the problem partly | 23:23 |
| kdavid | this one was when I plugged in the device you want it the other way? | 23:23 |
| MementoMori | no | 23:23 |
| Babuto | i have several computers connected by ethernet to my modem | 23:24 |
| DarkAudit | first things first. If I install apt-build, and use the command sudo apt-build install (package), is the locally built package going to be the one installed ot not? | 23:24 |
| Babuto | (the one i am talking from, for example) | 23:24 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: did you quit the last command? | 23:24 |
| genii | Babuto: That doesn't answer my question of how many physical ethernet adapters you have in your computer :) | 23:24 |
| kdavid | in terminal no | 23:24 |
| Babuto | oh sorry | 23:25 |
| Babuto | only one | 23:25 |
| MementoMori | quit it with CTRL+C and paste me the lsusb command output | 23:25 |
| Babuto | it's weird that i can ping but not browse :/ | 23:25 |
| genii | Babuto: When ping by name works browsing should work | 23:26 |
| Babuto | but it doesn't :( | 23:26 |
| Babuto | even lynx www.google.com doesn't work | 23:26 |
| Babuto | "HTTP request sent; waiting for response" | 23:26 |
| kdavid | MementoMori: I don't know what you mean lsusb command output | 23:27 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: did you do CTRL+C? | 23:27 |
| genii | Babuto: Were you playing around with firewalls or iptables or such just before this started to happen? | 23:27 |
| kdavid | yes | 23:27 |
| MementoMori | ok so type in konsole: | 23:27 |
| MementoMori | lsusb | 23:27 |
| MementoMori | copy the output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:28 |
| MementoMori | and tell me the link | 23:28 |
| Babuto | iptables ? no the problem is that my internet connection never worked on kubuntu (but i can connect to other ethernet connections) | 23:28 |
| kdavid | I typed in lsusb in terminal and nothing happened | 23:28 |
| Babuto | i have no firewall nor proxy set | 23:28 |
| MementoMori | hit return after lsusb | 23:29 |
| kdavid | I did nothing happened | 23:29 |
| MementoMori | :) | 23:29 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: close your konsole and open it again | 23:30 |
| kdavid | do I type anything else in like sudo? | 23:31 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: (you surely havent closed the tail logging..) | 23:31 |
| MementoMori | no | 23:31 |
| kdavid | ok | 23:31 |
| MementoMori | in a new konsole run lsusb | 23:31 |
| Babuto | MementoMori, genii : do you have any other idea ? | 23:32 |
| genii | Babuto: The internet connection works in some capacity obviously.Ping and irc seem to work for you. The browser or browser traffic seems to be the problem. | 23:32 |
| DarkAudit | what the bleep am I doing wrong here with apt-build? It *looks* like dpkg set it up correctly, but when I do sudo apt-build install package, the package that just got built is ignored in favor of the regular repository version. What did I miss here?? | 23:32 |
| Babuto | irc doesn't work ! | 23:32 |
| Babuto | i'm on another computer | 23:32 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: if you have only one eth card and you can ping www names I dont see why you cant browse | 23:33 |
| genii | Babuto: Ah, OK. I had thought you were on the same box then. | 23:33 |
| Babuto | MementoMori : neither do i | 23:33 |
| kdavid | I typed it in then it just blinks with the black cursor underneath | 23:33 |
| genii | MementoMori: I'm suspecting some router filtering | 23:33 |

| gl4619196 | and add a new one? | 23:36 |
| gl4619196 | im using kubuntu | 23:36 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: maybe the usb subsystem crashed | 23:36 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: so do that: | 23:36 |
| alan | hola alguien que hable español | 23:37 |
| genii | Babuto: Are you able to use browser to get into your modem from kubuntu box? | 23:37 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: restart your pc, log here again, plug your dev, open a konsole and run lsusb | 23:37 |
| kdavid | ok | 23:38 |
| genii | !es | alan | 23:38 |
| ubottu | alan: 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. | 23:38 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: I'm going to have | 23:38 |
| MementoMori | a cigarette | 23:38 |
| MementoMori | I'll wait 4 you | 23:38 |
| Babuto | not from my kubuntu box | 23:39 |

| Babuto | ) | 23:39 |
| genii | gl4619196: Removing a user from inside that same users login is somewhat problemmatic. Easier to add a new one, give them sudo rights, then login there and delete the first one. | 23:39 |
| Babuto | (i can't browse the configuration of the modem but i can ping it ...) | 23:40 |
| gl4619196 | ok but how do i add a new one? | 23:40 |
| gl4619196 | genii | 23:40 |
| genii | Babuto: Were you online when you installed kubuntu? | 23:40 |
| Babuto | no but i upgraded my distribution online and i staied several days with a connection so my distribution is up-to-date | 23:41 |
| alan | ok muchas gracias ubottu | 23:42 |
| genii | gl4619196: sudo adduser newname then put them in adm group by: sudo usermod -G -a adm newname | 23:42 |
| Babuto | so ... ? i'll just have to stay on windows ? ;d | 23:43 |
| genii | gl4619196: Then you can login with the new name which has sudo rights by belonging to group adm and do: sudo deluser oldname | 23:44 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: paste these commands: | 23:44 |
| MementoMori | 1) ifconfig eth0 | 23:44 |
| Babuto | eth1 ? | 23:45 |
| MementoMori | 2) cat /etc/resolv.conf | 23:45 |
| MementoMori | 3) route -n | 23:45 |
| gl4619196 | room number? | 23:45 |
| gl4619196 | what should i type? | 23:45 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: 4) ifconfig eth1 | 23:45 |
| genii | MementoMori: Remember that he has no browser and so therefore no pastebin | 23:45 |
| Pepcok^PotLS | hi | 23:45 |
| MementoMori | genii: how does he connect here? | 23:46 |
| Pepcok^PotLS | would you recomend me any program which let me see animated gif files? | 23:46 |
| genii | MementoMori: He's on a second box | 23:46 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: ok so wait | 23:46 |
| Babuto | MementoMori | 23:47 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: run this: | 23:47 |
| Babuto | wait i will transfer by an usb key | 23:47 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: ifconfig eth0 > conf.txt; ifconfig eth1 >> conf.txt; route -n >> conf.txt; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> conf.txt | 23:48 |
| MementoMori | then copy conf.txt on a pendrive and paste it | 23:48 |
| * genii hands MementoMori a coffee and some Advils | 23:49 | |
| MementoMori | Babuto: instead of "ifconfig ethX" run "ifconfig -a" | 23:49 |
| MementoMori | genii: I like coffee but I dont know what advils is | 23:50 |
| genii | Pepcok^PotLS: All web browsers should be able to display animated gifs | 23:50 |
| genii | MementoMori: Heh...Advil = pain reliever, headache medicine, etc | 23:51 |
| MementoMori | genii: I dont like this kind of drugs | 23:51 |
| MementoMori | genii: I do my yoga meditation ;) | 23:51 |

| MementoMori | echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" > /etc/resolv.conf | 23:57 |
| MementoMori | and | 23:57 |
| MementoMori | echo "nameserver 208.67.220.220 " >> /etc/resolv.conf | 23:57 |

| rene | nogen der ved hvordan man laver en ir reamote til kubuntu | 23:57 |

| genii | Pepcok^PotLS: Settings..Configure Konversation...Behavior...General check off "Use custom web browser" Then put in the text window next to that the web browser name you want followed by: '%u' | 23:57 |
| genii | Pepcok^PotLS: Then hit Apply | 23:58 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: if you cant do this before: | 23:58 |
| MementoMori | sudo su - | 23:58 |
| genii | MementoMori: Um, he won't be able to add to /etc/resolv.conf that way since it needs admin rights | 23:59 |
| Pepcok^PotLS | genii: thans very much | 23:59 |
| MementoMori | and the redo the commands | 23:59 |
| MementoMori | ok | 23:59 |
| MementoMori | sudo su - | 23:59 |
| genii | Pepcok^PotLS: You're welcome | 23:59 |
