[00:03] i downloaded epiphany but that doesnt have a bar that saves addresses unless you start typing them [00:04] 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] ubuntu: Reinstall grub ;) [00:04] how abotu fixing konquror? [00:04] how? [00:04] so i can open my hotmail messages [00:04] ubuntu: Or put disks back as they were. [00:04] !grub [00:04] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[00:10] od i have to be on kde? [00:10] or can i get it from gnome? [00:10] kubuntu should have it already [00:10] can i also check it from a windows computer? like an internet cafe?

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. [01:52] XJman: Well most of servers today use some sort of BSD or GNU/Linux, so I think that answers your question.

[03:01] so.. i installed linux a few days ago.. working great [03:01] which one? [03:01] 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] theres also Kubuntu specific rooms in other languages. if english is not your first language. [03:01] there's even #kde-chat :D <---advertising [03:01] 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 [03:02] oh [03:02] its all working great so far.. im enjoying KDE, got some programs that seem to work fine [03:02] audacious makes a perfect replacement to the winamp i was so used to [03:03] Is there a place where I can see the schedual for packages going into the repos? [03:03] !!! === cagc is now known as cEr0 [03:04] 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] ¿hay alguién que hable español? [03:05] cEr0: si poco [03:05] ohh [03:05] 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] i believe i need to configure an alsa plugin known as softvol if i can figure out how to set that up correctly [03:09] so does anyone know of any larger irc chat clients i could go to? === keith is now known as compilerwriter [03:09] i tried linux first when slackware 9.0 was current [03:09] and i have to say.. linux has certainly come a very long way since then [03:09] the new kernal, upgraded desktops, more software, its as easy as windows now [03:10] spiel_mit_feuer: larger irc chat clients ? [03:10] chat rooms i meant [03:10] theres a ton of people logged in, but i dont see many talking? [03:11] heh.. im making my own theme :-D cant do that with windows [03:11] well.. not as cool anyway [03:11] spiel_mit_feuer: #kubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu [03:11] yeah, some ppl just auto-join but seldom participate ...dunno why [03:11] im not sure where to go.. technically im using ubuntu.. which i installed to the command line only to install kde [03:12] Spiel do you really like to play with fire? [03:12] heh.. sometimes [03:12] anyone ever see the "gentoo ice" skin for xmms that used to come with gentoo installations? [03:13] 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 [03:14] 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] if a different account could be placed in individual tabs within the main list.. that would be great [03:15] i have to say though.. the #1 thing about linux i like different about windows, able to install /home on another partition [03:15] if i change distros, i dont lose my important stuff or configurations :D [03:16] 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] i do have 2 support issues [03:16] its with my audio [03:17] 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] i can turn it down via my surround sound receiver, but next song, its back to max volume [03:17] That could be bloody annoying [03:18] oh it is [03:18] its never the major issues that turn someone away from something, its the annoying ones [03:18] 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 [03:19] somehow its possible to emulate an analog 5.1 signal with master volume control and then route it through my spdif output [03:20] 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] so if anyone knows how to set up a softvol plugin script for alsa, let me know [03:21] 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] do your alsamixer controls actually control the volume? [03:21] yes [03:22] even with windows XP this was an issue, so its not linux [03:22] sounds like your souncard has a prob then [03:23] well.. this is a laptop, so im sure it doesnt come with all the features of a higher end third party audio controller [03:24] 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 [03:25] spiel_mit_feuer: set the master channel to pcm or similar in kmix? [03:25] right click kmix and select master channel [03:26] ive already tried it.. kmix will only allow me to adjust hardware volume [03:26] and that is not adequate? [03:27] flaccid, it doesnt change the volume at all though [03:27] thats weird [03:27] 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 [03:28] so i was wondering how to set up sort of a software master volume control with my spdif via softvol [03:28] that is probably how its meant to be as its digital line level out [03:28] still, if you have digital/spdif fader in kmix/alsamixer then it should control it [03:29] its not a linux issue.. since it didnt work in windows either [03:29] not XP that is [03:29] in vista.. vista had a sound mixer that adjusted software volume which worked fine [03:29] ok then BluesKaj is probably right on the money [03:30] still there is quite a lot on google about spidf volume and alsa etc. [03:30] nothing ive found was useful though [03:30] 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] the closest thing ive found is the softvol plugin for alsa but i dont know how to configure it properly [03:31] calcmandan: maybe try #wine and google [03:32] flaccid: i've tried #winehq. [03:32] 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] 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 [03:33] hmm [03:34] <_2> who is on right now ?

[03:55] 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 [03:56] <_2> jon_ worry ? no. but it's a relatively good idea to keep an old (known to work well) kernel around, [03:56] hey [03:56] but 8.0.41 says the it has kernel 3.0 [03:56] how do i change my keyboard layout to spanish? [03:56] so any ideas? [03:56] so.. whats listed when i type aplay -l isnt the name? [03:56] how can i tell what all kernels i have and get rid of any extras? [03:56] abgeanpr: i dont understand what you are saying [03:57] because i think i may have 2 of the same one [03:57] 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] <_2> jon_ dpkg -l | grep 'ii linux' [03:58] <_2> sorry two spaces. [03:58] <_2> jon_ dpkg -l | grep 'ii linux' [03:58] flaccid: how do i change the keyboard layout on kde? [03:58] _2 is 4 too many? [03:58] thanks jon_ in advance [03:58] but I am not sure how to get KDE 4 installed [03:59] hey [03:59] <_2> jon_ that's entirely your decision. i presently have 3 installed on this box [03:59] abgeanpr [03:59] _2 thanks for your help [03:59] listen to nike [03:59] JUST DO IT :) [04:00] well the first question would be Ubuntu 8.04.1 is listed in /etc/issue [04:00] CostaRicanQuaker: besides keyboard & mouse in system settings, i have no idea [04:00] but how to look at KDE 4 as a confirmation ? [04:00] can anyone tell me what is the command to open an installation .tar.gz [04:00] tar -xvzf [04:00] abgeanpr: read what ubottu showed you which is this: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php [04:00] should do it [04:00] flaccid: i am there but i dont see the layout option [04:01] CostaRicanQuaker: neither do i [04:01] So, does anyone know what might cause a discrepancy between the colors Konsole shows and those the console displays? The color thing affects everything from nethack to my own projects, to the man pages. === nimboos is now known as Nimboos [04:01] CostaRicanQuaker: google and #kde [04:01] CostaRicanQuaker: i think its in regional and accessibility [04:02] how do i restart the sound? === Nimboos is now known as nimboos [04:02] sorry Regional & Language > Keyboard Layout CostaRicanQuaker [04:02] its etc/init.d something [04:02] spiel_mit_feuer: maybe sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [04:03] ñ¿! [04:03] flaccid: thank you [04:03] maybe [04:03] np [04:03] ill try that [04:03] yes.. that worked flaccid [04:04] <_2> also useful http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d2807b74a [04:05] spiel_mit_feuer: what worked sorry? [04:06] aah [04:06] the alsa-utils restart [04:06] ok [04:06] but.. still no luck with the volume control [04:06] try pulseaudio [04:07] i did [04:07] i should be able to get something to work in the .asoundrc plugin script [04:07] well you should be able to do it with pulseaudio, but i've never used it so i would'nt have a clue [04:07] whats hw 0,0? [04:07] thats the hardware location on the card for the channels [04:08] <_2> not to be confused with 0x00 === mike is now known as pulaski [04:15] aaah [04:15] this is really annoying [04:16] hello, has anyone tried the new application in Hardy called "Prism for Google Talk" [04:17] como es para pasarse al canal español [04:17] !es | tsunami [04:17] tsunami: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:21] Hey guys, Ive had this problem on multiple computers & laptops, the multimedia volume keys dont control the proper sound channel. Where can I change that? [04:22] mm_202: im not sure if it will affect, but maybe right click kmix and select master channel === tsunami is now known as esterichia_coli [04:23] Hi flaccid, Ive tried that, it only affects the KMix application. === esterichia_coli is now known as tsunami_ [04:23] mm_202: do you know which app is controlling the multimedia keys function? [04:23] nfi [04:24] I should of googled around first, but I figured that this was a very common problem (since Ive had it on 4 different computers / laptops, etc). [04:26] well i figured out the device i want to use is called hw 0,1 i think [04:27] * _2 wonders why a laptop is not a computer... [04:28] _2: I made the distinction to show that its not only some specific PCI / on-board USB audio-device having the problem. [04:28] <_2> spiel_mit_feuer man asoundconf might help you. === yalhua is now known as kenami [04:31] hmm [04:31] i think im having issues because my devices are listed as root? [04:33] how do i change the file permissions for my audio devices? [04:34] Normally a user is a member of specific groups that allows them to use specific devices. [04:34] what device are you refering to specifically? [04:34] my audio deviced [04:34] hw:0,1 [04:35] Is there a kubuntu console-specific channel? [04:35] what /dev/XXXXX item? [04:36] 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. [04:38] its probably the audio group you need to be a member of [04:38] how do i change that? === ubuntu is now known as justdweezil [04:39] audio:x:29:pulse,willis [04:40] change what? [04:40] is what my /etc/group shows for my user. [04:41] become member of the audio group [04:41] shosho [04:41] check your /etc/group file to see if your user is a member or audio first.. it may not be the issue [04:42] 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] hesham [04:42] what would it be called in /etc/group [04:42] audio:x:29:pulse,willis [04:42] spiel_mit_feuer: or User Management in system settings [04:43] the groupname is 'audio' [04:43] best to not edit /etc/passwd and /etc/group manually... [04:43] there is no group name audio [04:44] spiel_mit_feuer: how did you conclude that? which ubuntu version is this? [04:44] 8.04 [04:44] i typed nano /etc/group [04:44] no audio group [04:44] <_2> user{add,del} group{add,del} [04:44] spiel_mit_feuer: paste output of groups command from konsole of desired user please [04:45] 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] Theres the #bash channel Nihilam that proberly is the closest you will fine. [04:45] !channels [04:45] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [04:45] Nihilam: i don't know of anything console/terminal specific, but there is shell channels like ##bash [04:46] Ok, thank you. And again for that link. [04:46] which command would that be flaccid? [04:46] <_2> Nihilam ##bash #dash and the generic ##linux [04:47] spiel_mit_feuer: groups [04:48] aah.. here it does say audio [04:48] yes the default user is in a variety of groups including this one [04:49] i don't see why you would need to change perms on anything for audio [04:50] i don [04:50] dont [04:50] its not the problem [04:58] <_2> i just noticed that if you ssh someone@someip su - someone you don't get the normal output. what's up with su ? [04:59] <_2> stdin: is not a tty [04:59] <_2> stdin: is not a tty === neptunepink is now known as purpleposeidon [05:03] im back === ubuntu is now known as justdweezil [05:06] wtf is this [05:06] aidan_: Kubuntu Support chat channel [05:06] oh [05:06] nvm [05:06] Argh, how to fix? PING 127.0.0.1 ..... 100% packet loss [05:06] im new [05:07] jklnl n [05:07] purpleposeidon: do you get the same thing with ping localhost ? [05:07] yes [05:08] did you do something, because that is a little strange [05:08] flaccid: Does it start with 'sudo dhclient'? [05:08] purpleposeidon: huh? [05:08] possibly. This is a fairly fsckd, ah, system. === puskom is now known as cha-cha [05:09] im getting close to fixing this i think [05:09] I have 196 packages that I need to update. :P [05:09] But it was working at one point. [05:09] And I do remember localhost being broken, and I fixed it somehow. [05:09] purpleposeidon: pastebin cat /etc/network/interfaces; ifconfig; cat /etc/hosts; cat /etc/resolv.conf [05:10] purpleposeidon: well we don't know what you have done and sounds like you are in middle of update/upgrade or something as well [05:10] oh, well look at that, "iface nonet loopback" is commented out [05:10] that is likely the problem [05:10] you still want those other files? [05:11] purpleposeidon: not yet. this is all you need in that file: http://pastebin.com/f6b041c7a [05:13] Right, if I disapear suddenly and don't come back it's probably your fault. [05:13] hmm, but what command do I run [05:14] * purpleposeidon goes for init.d/networking [05:14] nope [05:14] * flaccid yawns [05:14] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:14] yep. [05:15] cool [05:15] hmm [05:15] i think i might not have the softvol plugin installed [05:15] localhost/127.0.0.1 both fail [05:16] sudo dhclient lo [05:16] works [05:17] <_2> i think i'm ready to learn how to setup "dhcp". anyone want to instruct ? [05:19] purpleposeidon: this has nothing to do with dhclient. pastebin the stuff i mentioned before [05:20] errr 'kay [05:20] <_2> guess not... ;/ [05:23] _2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=dhcp&titlesearch=Titles [05:23] 1st result is all you need most likely [05:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/27407/ [05:23] doh [05:24] well, maybe not, /me reads [05:25] oh, that was for _2. :] [05:25] purpleposeidon: i don't know what you have done. only other thing i can think of is firewall filtering but i doubt you have set one up.. [05:25] well, it works right now [05:26] purpleposeidon: ok well its fixed then. you can also reload loopback with sudo /etc/init.d/loopback restart (fyi) [05:26] hmm === cha-cha is now known as puskom_ === puskom_ is now known as cha-cha [05:40] Riddell: you up? [05:41] im back [05:41] guess what? [05:41] flaccid? [05:41] i got it working [05:41] :-D [05:41] i now have.... volume control [05:43] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker how went the upgrade ? [05:43] which upgrade? [05:43] <_2> oh. that bad ? [05:43] DistroJockey? [05:44] well, here's the deal, when i look up on...let me show you [05:44] <_2> the dapper to hardy upgrade you tried the other day [05:44] how did oyu check which release you were on [05:44] on the terminal [05:45] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker lsb_release -a [05:45] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker can compare the kernel version too uname -a [05:45] 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 [05:46] -2: Release: 8.04 [05:46] Codename: hardy [05:46] <_2> kool [05:46] however: Linux sebastian 2.6.15-52-386 #1 PREEMPT Mon Jun 9 17:24:46 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [05:46] ^this is not good [05:47] <_2> hmmm running an older kernel. i see [05:47] 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 [05:48] <_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 ? [05:49] how do i check how much space is used on a partition? [05:49] * CostaRicanQuaker loves _2 [05:49] _2: root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash [05:50] <_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.... [05:51] i also had to remount the partition [05:51] the um...thing, you know...yeah, that, had to be remounted [05:51] 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. [05:52] _2: what if it doesnt? [05:52] can i do it from the shell? [05:53] <_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 ^ [05:55] hmmm [05:56] 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. [05:57] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker yes. [esc] then the [e] key lets you make temperory changes to the selection. [05:57] <_2> the [b] key boots it. [05:58] <_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. [05:59] <_2> whould << heh that's a hybird could/should/would word [05:59] * CostaRicanQuaker is scared shiftless of smucking up everyhing [06:00] <_2> CostaRicanQuaker nothing you do in that grub prompt is permanant. [06:00] ok...let me just read this a couple more times [06:00] and dont go [06:00] i might even write this down [06:01] <_2> copy / paste > textfile... [06:01] no printer, [06:01] <_2> make exact copy. then you can hold _2 accountable if you break something.... === _2 is now known as Agent_bob [06:02] :) [06:02] aha! [06:02] * CostaRicanQuaker sends himself email with everything [06:03] Agent_Bob: ok i am going to do that [06:03] so i just type e and that lets me edit it? [06:04] yep [06:04] brb [06:05] Agent_Bob: DO NOT LEAVE PLEASE [06:10] Agent_Bob: [06:10] 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 [06:11] there it had three lists ubuntu disks kernel and something else so i went to kernel [06:11] and typed e again [06:11] then there was this [06:12] D54587E4f loop=/ubuntu/disks/roo.tdosl ro quiet splash [06:12] any alsa experts in here? [06:12] 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. [06:13] CostaRicanQuaker wait. are you running that from a "wubi" install ? [06:13] what? no...i did install wubi at one point but no...i deleted that...that-s from when the kernel upgraded the other day [06:15] 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] Agent_Bob: so what do i do now? [06:16] 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] haha [06:16] got [06:17] it [06:17] 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] Agent_Bob: which command for that:? [06:18] CostaRicanQuaker you have a GUI ? konqueror could let you view the contents of that file. [06:18] but from the terminal [06:18] what command do i type? [06:18] CostaRicanQuaker ok. cat /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:19] !pastebin [06:19] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [06:19] CostaRicanQuaker i don't need the comments so maybe. grep -v '^#' /boot/grub/menu.lst would be more to our liking [06:20] it's much shorter [06:21] Agent_Bob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27412/ [06:24] 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. [06:25] Agent_bob: sure [06:25] CostaRicanQuaker sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-386 2.6.24-19-386 # and watch for error messages. [06:26] wait [06:27] i will have to reboot it seems agent bob [06:28] i did something odd on xfce...apparently [06:28] brb [06:28] ya don't reboot for that [06:29] * mr---t- reboot in linux ha ha [06:30] mr---t- see, see! the old "reboot will fix anything" mentality rears it's ugly head in our free OS .... === BARBEESHA is now known as EnMasse187 [06:35] Agent_bob: [06:35] Agent_bob: yes [06:35] yes [06:35] so what do i type in the terminal again? [06:35] CostaRicanQuaker sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-386 2.6.24-19-386 # and watch for error messages. [06:37] Agent_bob: nothing happened [06:37] sudo mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-386 2.6.24-19-386 ? [06:37] CostaRicanQuaker ok good. in linux "no error means no error" [06:37] it should have asked for password tho [06:37] holaaaaaa ??'??'''''????????????? [06:38] yes [06:38] it did [06:38] ok you can reboot into the new kernel now. "we hope" [06:38] brb [06:38] at least that's the way to test it.

[06:50] i had to reboot in the old kernel again [06:50] because this ubuntu didnt have xchat [06:50] sure it's hardy but... [06:51] CostaRicanQuaker hmmm should have "irssi" a text based irc client [06:51] didnt see it...it was definetly hardy heron [06:51] and new [06:51] but...waht do i do? [06:51] i mean...how do i get rid of a kernel and import everything to the othe [06:51] CostaRicanQuaker BUT ! it should have been the same system basicly [06:52] should? [06:52] yeah should. [06:52] it wasnt, the taskbar was up, when i have it at the bottom [06:52] and there was no option to boot from xubuntu or kubuntu like on here [06:53] * Agent_bob thinks boot is a misnomer there [06:53] er... [06:53] 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] you know what i mean [06:53] log [06:55] yeah. anyway. starting a new kernel should not change the configurations of a linux system. that's not how it works. [06:55] let me revisit that menu.lst stand by. [06:55] mine or yours? [06:56] CostaRicanQuaker right now you are running 2.6.15-52-386 "uname -r" [06:56] ? [06:56] let me see [06:57] yep [06:59] 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. [07:00] but how come the settings are different, like the programs from kde arent there [07:00] and the wallpaper, the desktop environment [07:00] CostaRicanQuaker you know how to get to and from a console to gui right ? [07:00] alt +ctrl+f1? [07:00] and f7? [07:01] yes [07:01] so... [07:02] waht do i do? [07:04] 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. [07:05] ok wait [07:06] brb [07:07] woops i took my other me out too... [07:07] oh well, i dont need a clone [07:09] oh krap. i didn't mention to him to use alt+# to switch windows in irssi... maybe i should hide now o.O [07:10] how do i get java working in konqueror?

[07:12] Yes sir [07:12] * Agent_bob idk [07:13] 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] i never use it, other than javascript in webbrowser every now an then. [07:13] ericjones no. 5 should work [07:14] Ok, thank you. Is there some other place I could look or ask? [07:15] 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] 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. [07:16] ericjones repost your question here every half hour or so. and you'll get someone that can answer it. [07:16] !patience [07:16] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:16] Agent_bob: will do. thanks again. [07:16] welcome. [07:22] Agent_bob: didnt work [07:22] i just downloaded xchat on this thing [07:22] it-s not only stripped down from programs but much slower [07:22] which is odd as it's just gnome [07:23] so I'm on the gui [07:23] ok lets look at the mount table and process table. pastebin the output of " pstree " and " cat /etc/fstab /proc/mounts " [07:24] that will tell us what if anything is not mounted where it should be. [07:26] !pastebin [07:26] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [07:26] i dont get why gnome is so slow [07:26] it looks like it has some added eyecandy too...like the cube switch between desktops [07:27] ah enabled effects will slow down the system and change the look/feel [07:28] hi [07:28] ubuntu_ [07:28] I have a problem with grub [07:28] me too. [07:28] :) [07:28] :'( [07:28] ahah [07:28] but we can probably solve yours [07:29] I have read all guide [07:29] * CostaRicanQuaker taps fingers on desktop while firefox opens pastebin [07:29] ubuntu_ just spell out what the issue is. [07:30] but there is anything I missi [07:30] I have 3 hd [07:30] one of them is partitionated with swap and / [07:30] CostaRicanQuaker: dillo is a very fast browser. Or you can upgrade to firefox3 [07:31] another for /home [07:31] the third nothing [07:31] how big is / [07:31] 240 Gb [07:31] or there's w3m, which is terminal based. (But it's annoying, I prefer lynx) [07:31] that could be the problem [07:32] purpleposeidon elinks [07:32] is / bigger? [07:34] Agent_bob: gotcha, installing [07:34] 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 [07:35] purpleposeidon the default config for elinks has black on white which i dont like but it's easily changed [07:36] 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] Agent_bob: Really? I'm seeing white-text-on-black [07:36] purpleposeidon good. they changed it lol [07:36] i was hoping they would [07:36] It's black-and-white. :/ [07:37] ubuntu_ no. linux doesn't much care where it lives as long as the filesystem supports full posix attributes [07:37] ok... [07:37] anyone know of a good bookmark manager that can merge firefox and konqueror book marks into one? remove duplicates? [07:38] (Thought: Default name for irc clients on livecd's should be "ubuntu-installer"...) [07:38] ubuntu_ may i ask why you gave / 200+g of space and also have a seperate /home ? [07:38] my / takes about 5g [07:39] ubuntu_ / really doesn't need to be that big for generic home use [07:39] i have 2 hd of 250Gb [07:39] 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] ah. It'd be nice to have /home across two hard drives... [07:39] ubuntu_ but making / too big may have just caused you an issue... ;/ [07:40] mmm ok [07:40] so waht do i do? someone had told me to do something like rf whtever... [07:40] purpleposeidon i can think of two ways to do that [07:40] Agent_bob: Do tell. Let me guess... LVM and raid? [07:40] ok lets look at the mount table and process table. pastebin the output of " pstree " and " cat /etc/fstab /proc/mounts " [07:40] how should it be big? [07:40] CostaRicanQuaker ^ [07:40] yes? [07:41] i cant [07:41] i cant move to windows etc [07:41] somethign happened to the config [07:41] no minimize buttons, no way of moving windows or switching windows [07:41] ubuntu_ oh i doubt that you would fill 20g root partition before you buy new hardware. [07:42] CostaRicanQuaker cant "alt+tab" cant alt+[left_mouse] drag the window ? [07:42] this had happened to me with kde and someone helped me erlier [07:42] I can do / 100gb? is it true? [07:43] Agent_bob: nope [07:43] Haven't I any problem in the future? [07:43] CostaRicanQuaker: alt-f1; login; export DISPLAY=:0; kwin &; alt-f7 ? [07:43] someone had told me to type something like rm or [07:43] ubuntu_ search for file system size limitations in grub. i really don't know what the max partition size is for grub. [07:43] Though I don't know what your whole problem is [07:44] max partition size in grub? o_O [07:44] purpleposeidon yes how large of an fs can grub mount to load it's files ? [07:44] however this isn't the problem...because before I have grub on a partition of 300Gb... [07:45] I think it is a problem of menu.lst [07:45] purpleposeidon he just tried / > 250g [07:45] No idea.... [07:45] but yeah, 250g / is really wasteful [07:46] ubuntu_ you had a working grub with the boot file in a 300g partition ? [07:46] 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] before I had raid [07:47] so...it was so big [07:48] i cant type that command into the terminal [07:48] because i cant find a way to type ; [07:48] 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] as the layout for f1 seems to be in english [07:48] and i cant get that sign with my keyboard [07:48] nor paste [07:48] CostaRicanQuaker: Really? I would think the function keys would be pretty, uh, standard [07:49] oh wait i found it [07:49] CostaRicanQuaker: Okay, wait [07:50] the program kwin [07:50] isnot currently installed [07:50] pressing ctrl-alt-f7 should bring you back to your normal screen. [07:50] you can install it by sudo...etc [07:50] CostaRicanQuaker: Oh, uhm, metacity then? [07:50] whats the command? [07:51] export DISPLAY=:0; metacity [07:51] if you use gnome [07:51] in grub I must set device (hd??) ? [07:51] cool [07:51] everything's back to normal [07:51] purpleposeidon note. he was using the system without issue until reboot into newer kernel. [07:51] Agent_bob: now what? [07:51] oh, I see. That's interesting. [07:51] oh yeah [07:51] hold on [07:52] if my / is on sda6 I'll set device (hd0), is it right? [07:52] It usually keeps the old kernels on the list. [07:52] and if not, I think there's a backup of menu.lst [07:52] I getting java script errors when tryin to check my hotmail email. Anyone know what I can do to remedy this? [07:52] Agent_bob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27425/ [07:53] ubuntu_ probably (hd0,1) maybe (hd0,0) even. [07:53] no...error 15: file not found [07:53] :s [07:53] ubuntu_: Is there not a /boot/grub/menu.lst~ ? [07:54] sì [07:54] yes [07:54] compiz <<< ^ CostaRicanQuaker that's the new effects you mentioned. [07:54] Agent_bob: and http://paste.ubuntu.com/27426/ [07:54] yeah looking. [07:54] ubuntu_ You could try going into the grub console and typing configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst~ [07:55] 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 [07:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/27427/ [07:57] CostaRicanQuaker software raid ? [07:57] this is boot/grub/menu.lst~ [07:58] Agent_bob: what? [07:58] is that a command for me to enter? [07:58] are you using a software raid ? [07:58] what is that? [07:59] ok we hope you are not then. [07:59] purpleposeidon you know anything about raid setups in fstab ? [08:00] not a thing [08:00] CostaRicanQuaker that looks like the fstab of a raid array [08:00] and i know nothing about raid setups [08:00] whoa, that's long [08:01] Agent_bob: what do i do? [08:01] oh, that's also /proc/mounts [08:01] CostaRicanQuaker is it working ? don't do anything to it if it's working. [08:01] what is working' [08:01] ?* [08:01] is what working? [08:01] CostaRicanQuaker your system. [08:02] my system's working, but there's no mounted partition, previously installed programs and desktop envrionments on this kernel [08:02] cause you got out of my league with that fstab setup. and i probably can't fix it if we break it. [08:03] so may i sujest you just reinstall what you want now in that system and go with it. [08:03] oh, it's wubi [08:03] what about the old kernel? [08:03] I did install wubi once [08:03] CostaRicanQuaker you are in it now. [08:03] thinking it might do for a what do you call it...clean install [08:03] i am in what? [08:03] am in wubi? [08:03] the wubi install [08:03] looks to me like [08:03] but...i had uninstalled it [08:04] is that good or bad? [08:04] it's interesting. [08:04] that would also explain the mount.ntfs process that's running [08:04] * CostaRicanQuaker feels like he has a weird new disease [08:04] CostaRicanQuaker you explained it exactly [08:04] :) [08:05] that's how i feel about your system. [08:05] 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] ha. ha. [08:06] what do i do!? ..., .... *sigh* :S [08:06] so apparently...this is what the upgrade is...but wht about the other stuff? [08:06] how do i get rid of theother kernel then? [08:06] enjoy the fact that you have managed to setup a running linux system inside of a file somewhere. [08:07] because thats definetly going to be taking up space [08:07] CostaRicanQuaker: I'm going to guess that you *think* you uninstalled wubi, but you actually didn't [08:07] am i running from windows!? [08:07] * CostaRicanQuaker shrieks [08:07] * CostaRicanQuaker winces [08:07] CostaRicanQuaker no you are running a linux system that is installed inside a file [08:07] Not really. [08:08] inside a file...where? [08:08] Unless you somehow managed to blue-pill yourself [08:08] CostaRicanQuaker that's the $64k Q is it not. [08:08] CostaRicanQuaker: tell me about the output of ls /host [08:08] is it safe? [08:09] My command is safe. [08:10] no i meant [08:10] is it safe for me to be the way i am now [08:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/27428/ [08:11] 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] ok here's the one from here http://paste.ubuntu.com/27428/ [08:11] brb [08:11] purpleposeidon you know that ls / right now with that file mounted over / will hide the origenal / [08:12] Agent_bob: so do i go? [08:12] woops. [08:12] CostaRicanQuaker wait [08:12] how should I do big /boot? [08:13] boot partition [08:13] 1 gb? [08:13] ubuntu_ i would make /boot about 1g [08:13] yeah [08:13] ok [08:13] CostaRicanQuaker you are in ntfs space. [08:13] 1gb? uhhh [08:13] no [08:14] purpleposeidon his / is 250g [08:14] CostaRicanQuaker yep. [08:14] Yeah, but still... [08:14] ok so what od i do [08:14] sda1 is ntfs [08:14] ubuntu_: Myself, I'd make it like 300mb [08:14] ok [08:15] CostaRicanQuaker ls /boot [08:16] abi-2.6.24-19-generic initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic System.map-2.6.24-19-generic [08:16] config-2.6.24-19-generic initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic.bak vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic [08:16] grub memtest86+.bin [08:16] I make /boot parition -> ext3? [08:17] journal is not needed ext2 would be fine. but it won't hurt anything either. [08:17] I wonder if there's any performance difference as far as start-up between ext2 and ext3 [08:17] No? I didn't think so either. [08:18] not enough to measure purpleposeidon [08:18] human measurements. not cpu tic's [08:19] 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] you can measure time change by changing the lingth of a file name. in cpu tics [08:20] * CostaRicanQuaker puts water in the microwave for tea [08:20] root partition (/) -> 100gb is good? [08:21] 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] ubunut_ it's plenty [08:21] He could make an empty 230GB partition and then figure out how to merge it with /home [08:21] it's probably 10x what you will actually use.... [08:22] purpleposeidon he has an empty/untouched drive.. [08:22] mount /dev/sda3 /home/`whoami`/pr0n [08:23] purpleposeidon and unionfs can "merge" them. [08:23] Agent_bob: If you say so. :D I've never done anything with unionfs [08:24] Agent_bob: what do i do now [08:25] ok I have done /boot (500mb) swap (1gb) / all on one hd [08:25] on the other /home [08:25] I hope this solve my problem [08:25] 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. [08:26] i didnt get that [08:26] i'll clean it up. [08:27] 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] that will eventually be chaos for the hard drive or not? [08:27] what part of the disk is this on? [08:28] hola? [08:28] !es | guido [08:28] 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. [08:29] ok, sorry [08:29] well, you can speak english here if you want. [08:29] 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 [08:30] I'm totally new at kubuntu and I was wondering if I could get some help :) [08:30] 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] !welcome | guido [08:30] guido: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [08:30] ok...so how much diskspace do i have on this...kernel? [08:30] !help | guido [08:30] guido: Hi!

[08:31] CostaRicanQuaker "df -h" should be able to answer that. [08:31] ohh, I see [08:31] ok [08:31] thanks [08:31] guido: I was joking. [08:31] * Agent_bob slips a firecracker under purpleposeidon 's shoe and lights it. [08:31] lol [08:31] like I mentioned, I'm totally new at this [08:32] like, totally [08:32] I know there's this whole culture about it [08:32] !ask | guido [08:32] 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] Agent_bob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27431/ [08:32] it's like you know like totally, dude. [08:33] indeed [08:33] CostaRicanQuaker looks like you have 11g free in that file. [08:33] ok... [08:33] so here's what is best i think [08:33] erase this ubuntu [08:33] with its kernel and everything [08:34] and go abck to the old kernel [08:34] aka mop out the disk. [08:34] Im here!!! [08:34] Haha [08:34] and forget about it till i get the cds from shipit [08:34] aka mopout the disk? [08:34] Bonjour le monde [08:34] there must be some way to get this wubied ubutu out of ntsf right? [08:35] Bonjour [08:35] !fr [08:35] 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] #kubuntu-fr [08:35] 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. [08:36] and doing so is not childs play. [08:36] cant it jsut be erased? [08:36] and you are still young in linux time. [08:36] yes it can. [08:36] Agent_bob: fire crackers are SO 1950's [08:36] i've been just squirted [08:36] in linux time [08:36] purpleposeidon :) what would you have? a car bomb ? [08:37] car bombs are so middle-east. Which is 58 years behind. SO 1950's. [08:37] 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] ? [08:38] 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] reload? [08:38] CostaRicanQuaker: my question is whats going to be the difference between what you have installed now and what you will install? [08:38] CostaRicanQuaker i'm not sure the other kernel isn't also in wubi land. [08:38] i'm sure it isnt! [08:39] can you wait for me to log out and go check? [08:39] good, brb [08:39] cpk1 it's in wubi land on ntfs. i.e. preformance loss for one. [08:39] balalalalalal [08:39] blubbblubbblubbblubbblubbblubb [08:39] !stfu | BritneyBitch [08:39] BritneyBitch: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [08:39] is there a way to test my LAN speed in ubuntu? [08:40] oh I see I read it as nfs =P [08:40] oh. interesting. [08:40] jfgi? hmm [08:40] google it purpleposeidon =P [08:40] you are n00bs! [08:40] amazing, wtf doesn't know wtf it is either [08:40] amazing. [08:41] BritneyBitch: might want to consider changing your name [08:41] BritneyBitch play nice. [08:41] 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] hopefully he has space for it [08:42] You are so a n000b, i hate this channel. bye, bye, i will coming never [08:42] if not then he obviously needs a newer, bigger hdd =P [08:42] and now we are all enlightened [08:43] Agent_Bob: now what do i do? [08:44] 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] if I understand your problem correctly [08:44] 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 [08:45] lol@enlightenment.cpk1.com [08:45] Agent_bob: I would just move the /home really... [08:46] cpk1 that wouldn't speed up the system tho. [08:46] ok I have finished installation [08:46] now I must only reboot system? [08:46] Agent_bob: make a partition for /home and then one for / to install into [08:46] installed what ubuntu_ ? [08:46] kubuntu [08:47] then he has escaped ntfs [08:47] I have reinstalled all [08:47] cpk1 install is what i recommend but he is waiting on shipit to arrive [08:47] heck you could just resize the available space and install into that then mount the ntfs and move over /home [08:47] cpkl migrating is not that easy for a....was to me or to cpckl Agent_bob? [08:48] any help installing adesklets ? [08:48] CostaRicanQuaker was about you and to him. i'm trying to NOT put through the linux school of hard knocks if possable. [08:49] heh, sometimes its the best way to learn =P [08:49] ubuntu_ yes should be a simple reboot into the newly installed kubuntu system. [08:49] thanks [08:49] 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 [08:50] cpk1 but it will make you beat your wife... [08:50] :) [08:50] ok...so waht's the best way to go [08:50] cpk1 it's also a "new" home. [08:50] my aunt just let me know yesterday, gentlemen, that i got apackage from the netherlands [08:50] i dont know if thats where the shipit cds are meant ot come from [08:51] CostaRicanQuaker best over all. clean install with the new cd's. best for learning, probably migrate to a clean spot. [08:52] CostaRicanQuaker remember that we don't need to "relearn all this" and too many "ok what now?" will ware out the help... [08:53] Agent_bob: promise you'll help me: install either gnu's icecat or debian swifteasel, permanently mount the ntsf partition, kill george bush, etc? [08:54] why did you pull the fire alarm ! [08:54] Hi there, will the RC1 packages be ready today? [08:54] 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] (for better or worse, till death do us part?)

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] or at least you know, mount the partition and finding the repo for swifteasel or icecat [08:54] liquidat: KDE 4.1 RC1? if yes, try asking in #kubuntu-kde4 [08:54] Agent_bob: ? [08:54] * Jucato is surprised to see liquidat in here :P [08:55] Jucato: :-p [08:55] Jucato: At my work I had to install a debian based distribution on my computer - so I went for Kubuntu ;) [08:55] liquidat: aaaah.. I thought you made a complete conversion :P [08:56] Jucato: Sorry to disappoint :D [08:56] 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] Agent_bob: cpkl: i think i will just mope out the whole disk, reinstall windows and then ubuntu wheni get the cds hopefully tomorrow [08:57] CostaRicanQuaker good call. imo [08:57] Jucato: Does neon provide a full KDE 4? [08:57] I thought they were only providing Amarok 2 packages... [08:57] 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] and also it was a pain to get the repos and the propper swifteasel [08:58] 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. [08:59] Agent_bob: policy or you too have grown annoyed by yours truly? [08:59] policy mostly :) [08:59] CostaRicanQuaker: we are all volunteer help, we have lives outside of irc =) [09:00] and Jucato is the network guru extraordenare.

[09:04] That is a bit too much... ;) [09:04] liquidat: oh they're tracking trunk? hm.. ok.. :) [09:05] 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) [09:06] rational meaning they stick to algorithms [09:06] anyway. welcome. and i'll see you in a day or two.

[16:53] Githzerai: look^ [16:53] I thought medibuntu was down... [16:53] 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? [16:54] jussi01: it was yesterday morning [16:55] 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...) [16:56] 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?? [16:57] 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? [16:58] 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] The_ManU_212, they both do _exactly_ the same thing === yacc_ is now known as yacc [16:59] pag: so i dont need to install this package? [17:00] The_ManU_212, it's of course up to you, but I personally think, that you won't get anything from installing the package [17:00] The_ManU_212, if I were you, I'd check if the URL in sources.list is same as provided on medibuntu's site [17:03] pag ok [17:06] ive been spending the last few days setting on linux to work best for me.. now that im just about finished, im ready to help anyone that may need it === BARBEESHA is now known as EnMasse187 [17:10] guys === Ermenegild is now known as Ermenguer [17:10] how do i check my router assigned ip? [17:10] like the 192.168.1.100 [17:10] ip? [17:10] how do i check that? [17:10] in ubuntu? [17:11] EnMasse187: type 'ifconfig -a' to find out that [17:11] EnMasse187: alternately, you could use KNetworkManager to find out that [17:11] I upgraded my kubuntu 8.04 install to use kde4.1 (kde4.0.98). Now when I boot the computer I get a alert window saying "Cannot open theme file @@@ToBeReplaceByDesktopBase@@@". I then get the command line prompt to login. If I login and run startx then kde runs fine. Any idea on the error? [17:11] EnMasse187: sudo route [17:11] yes [17:11] working [17:11] EnMasse187: ifconfig will usually show you the configuration of the machine. If you need to see what it's using for default route the route command usually has that [17:11] thank you :) [17:12] hey guys [17:12] where do i learn all these commands? [17:12] alan, dont you mean root?

[17:14] spiel_mit_feuer, "df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs" [17:14] EnMasse187: you can learn few of them from http://linuxcommand.org [17:14] which one pag? [17:14] or do i type that full line? [17:14] spiel_mit_feuer, that's one command [17:15] spiel_mit_feuer, df -h also works, but the output is a bit uglier [17:16] seriously? [17:16] thats accurate? [17:16] umm wow [17:16] this full install of ubuntu with kde 3.5.9, and many apps and libs i added, still only uses 2.5g total on the 15gb / partition [17:16] i knew 10gb would have been enough [17:17] i got compiz installed and its working..but i want to play around with like the cube pager thing..I have it enabled but i cant figure out how to enable it. [17:17] and why is my /home partition taking up 11? [17:17] this advanced desktop settings control panel thang kinda blows. [17:17] oh.. wait.. thats right.. 9gb of music [17:18] vista would be taking up 15gb for the base install alone [17:18] ... and people i know wonder why im using linux.. well thanks for the help [17:19] spiel_mit_feuer: 9 gigs of music? small time :) [17:20] i know.. its not much music.. only 1,000 songs, but its al i really listen to === crash__ is now known as _CrashMaster_ [17:28] Hey, im looking for a program that does the following: I have a video file in some format (mpeg4, divx, whatever) and some subtitles.

[17:31] tue: No problem [17:32] i need some help cuz everytime i try to open Sound Juicer CD Extractor it gives me this Sound Juicer could not find any CD-ROM drives to read but then again i do have a cd in my cd drive so i don't know what's the problem can someone please give me a hand to find out what the problem is? [17:33] Why not use a native KDE app like K3B to rip with? [17:33] i never thought of that, thnx for the help [17:34] joe_: iirc there is even an io slave you can use for extracting mp3 files from a cd (but i might remember wrongly...) [17:34] ok [17:35] something like mp3:/media/cdrom (OR SOMETHING!) its properly not ported to kde4 yet, but its mighty cool :-) [17:35] cuz i'm try'n to put songs onto my zen device [17:36] kool [17:36] thnx [17:38] great now i have another problem [17:38] hope someone can help me out???

[17:39] Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). [17:39] Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself. [17:40] joe_: u have two package managers running. exit one [17:40] joe_: eh... try to close everything adept-ish you have open. might be an automatic update, then it should stop soon.... [17:40] got it [17:40] :) [17:40] thnx again for the help [17:40] otherwise run ps -e and see if there is some adept or apt'ish program running, then issue a killall...

[17:46] i did mate [17:46] how to i put avi to dvd useing ubuntu? [17:46] joe_: the only good advice i can give: be carefull about monkeying to much around in xorg.conf . (k)ubuntu does a really good job, and if you got some bad settings there it can cause problems later on... [17:46] ok, kool, got it [17:46] and i found that if u dont delete a certain file before to install the new drivers linux is gonna reboot with its generic bla bla driver4s and is gonna screw it [17:47] thatz what happened, now how do i get out of it? [17:51] how can i rip mp3? [17:51] joe_: K3B but you need the mp3 codecs as well. [17:51] joe_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping [17:52] so that i can put then onto my zen portible device? [17:52] !medibuntu [17:52] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:52] i did try to use k3b but it wouldn't work [17:52] but i'll try again if u want me to [17:53] joe_: see the medibuntu link above [17:53] joe_: also the CDRipping link [17:53] yeah === jr__ is now known as Riddell [17:59] great, K3B Give's me an error while i'm try'n to rip my cd here [17:59] the error is command failed [18:00] which command?

If not then k3b won't know yet about mp3 formats [18:02] i don't know how [18:03] hi everyone [18:03] hrm, shouldnt installing kubuntu-restricted-extras fix that? [18:03] remember i don't know much when it come's to linux [18:04] i know very little [18:04] but still learning to get the hang of linux [18:04] is there defragmentator program for Kubuntu? [18:04] joe_: try installing kubuntu-restricted-extras [18:04] joe_: You need to follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and then after adding medibuntu to your system, install package named libk3b2-extracodecs [18:04] !defrag | ilkin [18:04] ilkin: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [18:05] got it thnx [18:05] ilkin: Linux filesystem automatically optimizes itself so theres no need for something like defrag [18:05] and what about temp file cleaner or registry cleaner like ones for XP [18:05] ? [18:06] ilkin: No registry in Linux [18:06] (At least not KDE, Gnome has something like it) [18:07] sudo apt-get clean cleans your package cache [18:07] that is, after installing and deinstalling programs system remains clean? [18:07] apachelogger: ping [18:07] ilkin: yes, apart from the cache of packages [18:08] sudo apt-get clean --will this command damage funtionality of packages? [18:09] arrasti on, buenas tardes, good afternoon [18:09] ilkin: No, it only cleans out the cached files from which the application was installed from [18:09] where can i find libk3d2-extracodecs? [18:09] !medibuntu | joe_ [18:09] joe_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [18:10] but where i don't even kow where to look i did install medibuntu into my system but i don't know wehre to get the codes [18:10] joe_: did you follow the instructyions on the medibuntu site? [18:10] for the other part that i will need to rip cd's onto my system [18:11] yes [18:11] joe_: ok, you should now find that package in adept [18:11] ok i look for [18:11] joe_: I already gave you the exact page with instructions to add medibuntu to the list of your possible packages. So if you did this, the package you need can be found in Add/Remove now [18:11] ok i'm srry [18:11] (Adept = Add/Remove) [18:13] Hi. how do I view my browsing history with Konquerer [18:13] ?

[18:19] i don't know any really good/great p2p programs for linux [18:19] yes i did [18:20] but i'll do it again if u want me to [18:20] Joe_ amule? ktorrent? transmmision? [18:20] kool, thnx [18:20] again [18:20] :) [18:20] Joe_ you are welcome [18:21] 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 [18:22] 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] ok [18:23] joe_: That step you just asked about should be done, yes [18:23] no that's why i asked if i should do that one as well [18:23] like i said i don't know linux very well but i'm gonna learn if it does kill me one way or another [18:24] joe_: If you don't do the GPG key add, it won't be able to auto install anything from there [18:24] the one that i did ask about i'm do'n it now [18:25] ok i'm do'n that one rite now [18:25] and it's done [18:25] joe_: OK, so try now: apt-cache search libk3b2-extracodecs to see if it shows up [18:26] but it did fail on Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/gutsy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gzand E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [18:26] joe_: You are using gutsy? Or Hardy? [18:27] ubuntu 7.10 [18:27] OK Gutsy then. [18:27] i think so [18:27] joe_: Please use pastebin to show us the contents of the file: /etc/apt/sources.list [18:27] !pastebin [18:27] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [18:29] why do u wanna know the contents of the file /ect/apt/sources.list? [18:29] * genii grabs another coffee [18:30] joe_: So that we can make sure the entries there are properly formed and that are for the correct version for your box [18:30] ok and it is gutsy [18:31] I suspect a missing "deb" or "deb-src" type of error in front of the url but need to check the file to make sure [18:31] here i'll post the sources.list [18:32] srry about that i didn't know that it was gonna do that i'm srry [18:32] but what did u want to know about sources.list? === machiel is now known as macnoob [18:33] genii: what did u want to know about my sources.list? [18:34] ive got a good question how do you install beryl on kubuntu 8.04 i went to the install page on beryl project page under ubuntu its not there [18:34] joe_: To reiterate "So that we can make sure the entries there are properly formed and that are for the correct version for your box" and also I suspect a missing "deb" or "deb-src" type of error in front of the url but need to check the file to make sure [18:34] Hey guys, I'm having a problem with a cd being recognized/mounted. I have a commercial music cd (not burned by me or whatever), but I put it in here, and nothing happens. I tried to do the same thing with a cdrw I have, and everything works perfectly. Is there some kinda special bypass I need for loading a music cd? [18:35] Music cds just get played, not mounted === hgfhgffhg is now known as matthewell [18:35] hi [18:35] join #ubuntu-nl [18:36] genii: well whatever, nothing works with it [18:36] bobJR: Beryl no longer exists, was merged back into Compiz. So visit #compiz-fusion channel for assistance on that [18:36] genii: they r both in there i see them like everywhere in the sources.list [18:36] thanks [18:37] joe_: And at the beginning of the medibuntu lines is word deb ?

[18:40] and medibuntu.list is in /ect/apt/sources.list.d [18:40] whats the command to upgrade to kde4 [18:41] Ah, yes I forgot medibuntu now installs sub-files instead of additions to original sources.list [18:42] bobo: there is no upgrade they coexist side by side ;) check here http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1rc1 === computer_ is now known as computer__ === nnjhnb is now known as _CrashMaster_ [18:44] the deb http://packages.deditbuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free and deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free is in medibuntu.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [18:45] ok thanks for the info [18:46] bobo: why do u care about the info??? [18:46] i meant for the kde4 info [18:46] o k [18:47] genii can u stll help me out or what? [18:47] I just did an apt-get update/grade which installed a new kernel. Now my wireless and sound doesn't work. Has anyone else noticed this problem? === joe_ is now known as joe__ [18:48] joe_: Trying to see if the error you're getting is some problem of following the instructions on the medibuntu site or possibly https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/179769 which I'm reading up on [18:48] Launchpad bug 179769 in medibuntu "failed to fetch medibuntu/gutsy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz" [Undecided,Fix released] [18:49] hi [18:50] i got a problem. my friggin kubuntu wanted to update some kde 4.1 packages. so i did it, but it removed gdm and it didnt place /etc/kdm files where it was supposed to [18:50] so i used older version's /etc/kdm files. but it still wont work [18:50] rdw: #kubuntu-kde4 ;) [18:50] rdw: #kubuntu-kde4 please [18:51] doh. just read it. i remember [18:51] sorry [18:51] forgot [18:52] sbattey: pong [18:52] sure does take a while to install kde4 [18:53] bobo: Well, it's quite a few hundreds of megabytes [18:54] yeah well i normally download faster than i am now [18:56] apachelogger: there is a conflict with the rc1 packages [18:56] only downloading at about 100kb/s normally download at close to 350kb/s [18:58] how can i save my (ALSA) volume levels so they restore when i reboot? [19:02] genii what package did u want for me to get again for medibuntu??? [19:03] genii: it's me joe [19:03] andare: libk3b2-extracodecs [19:04] hi for all [19:04] genii: cuz i'm @ http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/free/k/k3b [19:04] hi, is there any reason that kubuntu 8.04 with kde 3.5.9 doesn't have a splash screen [19:05] exist some browser for internet that use qt3 or qt4 ? [19:05] (libs) [19:05] really is terrible to use forefox with gtk look [19:05] forefox = firefox [19:09] genii: are you still there? === paddy is now known as ubunturos [19:10] andare: Yup [19:11] genii when i'm done installing the package what else is there to do to make sure that i can rip cd's to my computer useing ubuntu??? [19:12] andare: K3B should now be able to rip audio CD to mp3, so testing that is not a bad idea [19:12] !info gtk-qt-engine CrocoJet [19:12] 'crocojet' is not a valid distribution [19:12] !info gtk-qt-engine | CrocoJet [19:12] genii: ok i'm gonna give it a shot rite now then i'll let u know what's go'n on [19:12] 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 [19:13] CrocoJet: That package can make GTK apps follow whatever QT theme you use and they look a bit less painful [19:15] genii: thanks information [19:15] np [19:15] genii: GGGGRRR!!! it still isn't work'n i don't know what the fuck i'm do'n wrong and now i'm really start'n to get pissed off not @ u but @ my computer [19:16] andare: Please watch the language in here. [19:17] pici: i'm srry but my computer is really start'n to piss me off big time [19:19] How do I create a script that automatically runs when a USB storage device is inserted? I have read http://dventurin.wordpress.com/2007/04/01/udev-action-add-remove/, but it is not very explanatory. [19:19] 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??? [19:20] how do i switch to kdm-kde4 ? [19:20] andare: The libk3b2-extracodecs will let k3b play mp3 but to encode to mp3 I think another thing may be needed, like liblame0 [19:21] 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] 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] Is there a way to keep firefox from installing 85 gnome apps when I try to install it??? [19:22] 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] andare: Try the package i just suggested eg: liblame0 [19:23] genii: ok i'll give it a shot [19:24] ah....aptitude -R [19:25] That's much better :) [19:26] genii: where can i find liblame0 again? [19:27] andare: Try to install it from Add/Remove (Adept) first [19:27] It's really annoying, no matter what taskbar I use (compiz v. kwin), I get every window on the system...no matter what window. [19:27] genii: i did but noth'n came up when i typed in liblame0 [19:27] ...rather, no matter what desktop. [19:29] hi [19:29] i have just had a bad trouble :( [19:30] genii: i think i'll just reinstall ubuntu and then try to rip a cd to my computer once again and if it doesn't work then i'll install a different linux os and not ubuntu, ok? [19:30] when updating kernel, it didn't show dialog window asking what to do with menu.lst file [19:30] andare: Make sure you have "proprietary software" checked off at top right. Also in "Edit Software Sources" check off all boxes in tab Kubuntu Software [19:30] enrry: that's usually automatic [19:30] enrry: You shouldn't get a message like that. [19:31] so, i saw uptade was blocked, I made it show details [19:31] I never do. [19:31] yes if you edit it [19:31] hi! someone has installed kde 4.1 RC1 without dependenci problems? [19:31] :) === trojkolka is now known as Trojkolka [19:31] 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? [19:32] 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] from details view it ewas not possible to choose any entry, so I needed reboot and updating by apt-get update [19:33] genii: ok and how can i do what u r ask'n me to do? [19:33] but I could have very big problem if kernel went corrupted [19:33] genii: i have to remind everyone still that i'm a newbie when it comes to linux [19:33] since update was blocking while updating kernel [19:34] andare: The instructions I gave of :Make sure you have "proprietary software" checked off at top right. Also in "Edit Software Sources" check off all boxes in tab Kubuntu Software Are to be done in Add/Remove programs, which the Adept package manager [19:34] can I install a deb file that says it's for kubuntu 7.04 into hardy? [19:34] genii: ok do'n it rite now [19:35] genii: done, now what? [19:35] andare: Cole and repopen Add/Remove then see if searching for Lame or lame produces any results [19:35] Bah touchpad [19:36] Close and reopen [19:36] White_Pelican: You can't find the package you require in Hardy ?

[19:56] hallo [19:57] niemand da?? [19:58] Becker_11: the command: mount should show it usually mounted at /media/cdrom with filesystem of iso9660 or udf [19:59] genii thx I did that and it's not listed [20:00] mefisto__, thatnks ofr the link but I'm a little confused [20:00] Becker_11: Does /dev/cdrom exist? [20:00] genii I did it just now when you mentioned it ... it shows my 3 drive partitions correctly and their filesystems ext2/ext3 and reiserfs but not the cdrom or iso9660 [20:01] genii I'm a bit new to this .... how do I check at the terminal [20:01] Becker_11: ls -ld /dev/cd* [20:01] White_Pelican: did you add the repos like it said? [20:02] do I add what's in the list to the main source.list?

[20:04] ok already did the hardy heron l right now [20:04] genii no [20:04] Becker_11: Then the system is not finding something it considers to be a cdrom [20:05] a cdrom drive [20:05] genii oh btw it's kubuntu 8.04 kde 4 [20:06] Becker_11: Is it some external cd drive or an internal one?

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?

But I had to logout. Did you ask me something? [22:34] partha_: i want to listen to radio streaming its a site which have radio its ot play i thought it need real player [22:35] You might try that with mplayer or kaffeine. If it has a browser based interface, then mozilla mplayer plugin might work. [22:35] ahmed: I had problems before installing the real player binaries.. [22:36] u think its not the solution?? [22:36] ahmed: you mean mplayer? [22:37] partha_: i mean u think that if i install realplayer it will not make the radio work [22:38] ahmed: If you manage to install real player it should work.

[23:20] what can i do next ? [23:20] Babuto: do you have windows on your pc? [23:20] no I just pasted it [23:20] yes [23:20] kdavid: gimme the link [23:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/27582/ [23:21] but the problem isn't coming from here, because i can connect on others ethernet networks [23:21] Babuto: when you connect to internet do you use a username and password? [23:21] no, i just have to plug the ethernet cable [23:21] all my windows network is perfectly working [23:21] Babuto: sudo dhclient -r eth0;sudo dhclient eth0 then try ping test by name again [23:22] my connection is on eth1 [23:22] Babuto: Substitute eth# name accordingly then [23:22] kdavid: you copy-pasted before you have plugged your device? [23:22] ping name now works [23:23] Babuto: You have an actual other ethernet adapter in there? That could explain the problem partly [23:23] this one was when I plugged in the device you want it the other way? [23:23] no [23:24] i have several computers connected by ethernet to my modem [23:24] 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] (the one i am talking from, for example) [23:24] kdavid: did you quit the last command? [23:24] Babuto: That doesn't answer my question of how many physical ethernet adapters you have in your computer :) [23:24] in terminal no [23:25] oh sorry [23:25] only one [23:25] quit it with CTRL+C and paste me the lsusb command output [23:25] it's weird that i can ping but not browse :/ [23:26] Babuto: When ping by name works browsing should work [23:26] but it doesn't :( [23:26] even lynx www.google.com doesn't work [23:26] "HTTP request sent; waiting for response" [23:27] MementoMori: I don't know what you mean lsusb command output [23:27] kdavid: did you do CTRL+C? [23:27] Babuto: Were you playing around with firewalls or iptables or such just before this started to happen? [23:27] yes [23:27] ok so type in konsole: [23:27] lsusb [23:28] copy the output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:28] and tell me the link [23:28] iptables ? no the problem is that my internet connection never worked on kubuntu (but i can connect to other ethernet connections) [23:28] I typed in lsusb in terminal and nothing happened [23:28] i have no firewall nor proxy set [23:29] hit return after lsusb [23:29] I did nothing happened [23:29] :) [23:30] kdavid: close your konsole and open it again [23:31] do I type anything else in like sudo? [23:31] kdavid: (you surely havent closed the tail logging..) [23:31] no [23:31] ok [23:31] in a new konsole run lsusb [23:32] MementoMori, genii : do you have any other idea ? [23:32] 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] 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] irc doesn't work ! [23:32] i'm on another computer [23:33] Babuto: if you have only one eth card and you can ping www names I dont see why you cant browse [23:33] Babuto: Ah, OK. I had thought you were on the same box then. [23:33] MementoMori : neither do i [23:33] I typed it in then it just blinks with the black cursor underneath [23:33] MementoMori: I'm suspecting some router filtering [23:33] Babuto: try http://208.69.34.231 in your browser === Githzer3 is now known as Githzerai [23:33] kdavid: so? [23:34] Connecting to 208.69.34.23 ... it doesn't work [23:34] just telling you what is happening [23:34] it seems that all the http protocol doesn't work [23:34] Babuto: That is why I am suspecting something firewall related [23:35] kdavid: hit return after you write lsusb [23:35] is there any firewall pre-installed with kubuntu hardy ? [23:35] MementoMori: I did [23:36] how do i remove my user account? [23:36] Babuto: There shouldn't be, except for default settings of iptables [23:36] or may i have to redirect ports in my modem ? [23:36] and add a new one? [23:36] im using kubuntu [23:36] kdavid: maybe the usb subsystem crashed [23:36] kdavid: so do that: [23:37] hola alguien que hable español [23:37] Babuto: Are you able to use browser to get into your modem from kubuntu box? [23:37] kdavid: restart your pc, log here again, plug your dev, open a konsole and run lsusb [23:38] ok [23:38] !es | alan [23:38] alan: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

Easier to add a new one, give them sudo rights, then login there and delete the first one. [23:40] (i can't browse the configuration of the modem but i can ping it ...) [23:40] ok but how do i add a new one? [23:40] genii [23:40] Babuto: Were you online when you installed kubuntu?

[23:45] 2) cat /etc/resolv.conf [23:45] 3) route -n [23:45] room number? [23:45] what should i type? [23:45] Babuto: 4) ifconfig eth1 [23:45] MementoMori: Remember that he has no browser and so therefore no pastebin [23:45] hi [23:46] genii: how does he connect here? [23:46] would you recomend me any program which let me see animated gif files? [23:46] MementoMori: He's on a second box [23:46] Babuto: ok so wait [23:47] MementoMori [23:47] Babuto: run this: [23:47] wait i will transfer by an usb key [23:48] Babuto: ifconfig eth0 > conf.txt; ifconfig eth1 >> conf.txt; route -n >> conf.txt; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> conf.txt [23:48] then copy conf.txt on a pendrive and paste it [23:49] * genii hands MementoMori a coffee and some Advils [23:49] Babuto: instead of "ifconfig ethX" run "ifconfig -a" [23:50] genii: I like coffee but I dont know what advils is [23:50] Pepcok^PotLS: All web browsers should be able to display animated gifs [23:51] MementoMori: Heh...Advil = pain reliever, headache medicine, etc [23:51] genii: I dont like this kind of drugs [23:51] genii: I do my yoga meditation ;) [23:51] MementoMori: OK just the coffee then, I'll take the headache relief pills [23:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/27587/ [23:52] so look at your conf :) [23:53] ?

The menu comes up but when I try to boot my computer restarts and I'm back at the menu. The last message I see is "Uncompressing Linux...
