| MementoMori | Babuto: this is ok | 00:10 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: does it time out? | 00:11 |
| MementoMori | Babuto: or are you Koordin? | 00:11 |

| MementoMori | anyway I dont care about this | 00:13 |
| Babuto | ^^ | 00:13 |

| genii | dennister: Never dealt with scrollkeeper before. Do you have a pastebin of the error output? | 00:20 |
| dennister | genii: its dependency hell, actually...new installation, base system went in without a hitch...then tried installing ubuntu-desktop, and it always stops at Building database...This may take some time. | 00:21 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/konqueror-dont-connects-to-the-internet-need-help-647414/#post3182222 | 00:22 |
| dennister | so no error message to pastebein | 00:22 |
| genii | dennister: Maybe let it run overnight | 00:23 |
| Babutoo | MementoMori ? | 00:23 |
| dennister | genii: when try the "sudo dpkg --configure -a" it still stops at the same message...just hangs.......can't let it run overnight, because it's a friends she's brought over for this installation" | 00:23 |
| Babutoo | i'll have to wait for my problem to solev automatically ? :D | 00:24 |
| Babutoo | solve* | 00:24 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: open firefox | 00:24 |
| MementoMori | about:config | 00:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | hey, i just installed kubuntu | 00:24 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true | 00:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what were the comands to get the codecs to get browsers to play youtube? | 00:24 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: then try to surf the web | 00:25 |
| genii | dennister: No remedy but to let it finish, however long that takes | 00:25 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: so? | 00:26 |
| Babutoo | it doesn't work :( | 00:26 |
| MementoMori | mmmmmmm | 00:26 |
| MementoMori | wait | 00:26 |
| dennister | genii: well i'm glad i've already burned a livecd for her :-) | 00:26 |
| MementoMori | edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases as root | 00:27 |
| * genii makes more coffee | 00:27 | |
| MementoMori | find alias net-pf-10 ipv6 | 00:27 |
| MementoMori | and change it in alias net-pf-10 off #ipv6. | 00:27 |
| MementoMori | then reboot | 00:28 |
| Babutoo | ok i'm rebooting | 00:28 |
| MementoMori | cross your fingers | 00:28 |
| Babutoo | :D | 00:28 |
| Babutoo | it will work | 00:29 |
| MementoMori | I think I have no more rabbit in my hat | 00:29 |
| Babutoo | there is a routine check of drives ... | 00:29 |
| MementoMori | genii: I like very sweet coffee | 00:29 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: ok no prob | 00:29 |
| Babutoo | oh i can skip | 00:30 |
| MementoMori | you mounted 21 time or so your disk | 00:30 |
| * genii prepares MementoMori a large coffee with extra sugars | 00:30 | |
| Babutoo | ? | 00:30 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: nevermind | 00:30 |
| MementoMori | and keep them crossed | 00:30 |
| Babutoo | (oh i understood) | 00:31 |
| Babutoo | but it doesn't work ... | 00:31 |
| dennister | genii: installing scrollkeeper has never been a problem for me so far...and particularly not when the base system goes in without a hitch...any way I can unfreeze the dependency hell? how long should scrollkeeper take? after 30 minutes it's frozen, no? | 00:32 |
| Babutoo | i feel sorry | 00:32 |
| MementoMori | mmmmm | 00:32 |
| mefisto__ | try changing gateway from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:32 |
| MementoMori | dont give up | 00:32 |
| MementoMori | what's in /etc/resolv.conf ? | 00:32 |
| Babutoo | interfaces has only : auto lo ; iface lo inet loopback | 00:33 |
| genii | dennister: Conceivably there is some tiny error in scrollkeeper package causing hiccup. But just speculation | 00:33 |
| MementoMori | ???? | 00:34 |
| dennister | hey...i remember (sorta)...there's a cache somewhere i can delete, right? | 00:34 |
| dennister | apt cache? | 00:34 |
| Babutoo | i'm not giving up, but i have no idea what to do | 00:34 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: do you see eth1 in ifconfig? | 00:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what is the command for the codecs | 00:35 |
| genii | dennister: /var/cache/apt/archives has all the install packages in it which can occasionally be cleaned out. | 00:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | to get youtube on the brwosers | 00:35 |
| dennister | don't know the path...right... | 00:35 |
| dennister | thx genii | 00:35 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: ping | 00:36 |

| MementoMori | :) | 00:38 |
| Babutoo | yes i can see eth1 in ifconfig | 00:38 |

| jereme | I just get cloned desktop | 00:51 |
| jereme | anyone have experience with this? | 00:52 |
| Babutoo | MementoMori the problem was that i entered "sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf", following the burning topic | 00:54 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: burn it a second time | 00:55 |
| MementoMori | dont do voodoo you dont know! | 00:56 |

| Babutoo | here ^^ | 00:58 |
| MementoMori | kdavid: happy to hear this | 00:59 |
| kdavid | the problem that is not the solution | 00:59 |

| Babutoo | but wait i can't ping anymore | 00:59 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as wingsnut90 | ||
| wingsnut90 | never mind, i figured it out | 00:59 |
| kdavid | ubuntu or kubuntu accepts CF cards but it does not recognize sd high capacity ones | 01:00 |
| MementoMori | wingsnut90: we saw it | 01:00 |
| wingsnut90 | lol | 01:00 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: are u still there? | 01:00 |
| Babutoo | yes but i can't ping anymore | 01:00 |
| MementoMori | can you ping the router? | 01:01 |
| wingsnut90 | im running a live cd, is there any way to save the settings and the apps i install somewhere and load the settings | 01:01 |
| wingsnut90 | with out installing on the hard disk | 01:01 |
| Babutoo | yes but not google | 01:01 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: ok | 01:01 |
| MementoMori | grep net-pf-10 /etc/modprobe.d/aliases | 01:01 |
| MementoMori | do that and tell me the output | 01:02 |
| Babutoo | the output is : alias-net-pf-10 off #ipv6 (i have well followed what you told me, don't worry ^^) | 01:02 |
| MementoMori | ok | 01:02 |
| MementoMori | what's inside resolv.conf now? | 01:02 |
| Babutoo | "the" three lines | 01:02 |
| MementoMori | ok | 01:02 |
| MementoMori | what's the error when you ping www.google.com? | 01:03 |
| Babutoo | destination host unreachable | 01:03 |
| tony403 | anyone know what the next kubuntu is going to have in it? is it kde 4 by default? | 01:04 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: but can you still ping the router? | 01:04 |
| genii | wingsnut90: You need an ext2 formatted storage with volume name of casper-cow then use f5 at boot of livecd to insert "persistent" as a load option. It will load or store settings to the ext2 formatted storage | 01:04 |
| Babutoo | yes i can | 01:04 |
| MementoMori | try telnet www.google.com 80 | 01:05 |
| wingsnut90 | ah, ok | 01:05 |

| MementoMori | wait | 01:06 |
| Babutoo | ok | 01:06 |
| MementoMori | try telnet 208.69.34.231 80 | 01:06 |
| Babutoo | sudo: reboo: command not found ^^ | 01:06 |
| [ifr0g] | what's the restricted driver installation command? | 01:06 |
| wingsnut90 | thank you, one more question, i have a usb keyboard plugged in right now, because my ps2 keyboard decided to stop working all together, | 01:06 |
| wingsnut90 | and it wont work at the boot menu | 01:06 |
| Babutoo | unable to connect to remote host: No route to host | 01:07 |
| MementoMori | try sudo dhclient eth1 | 01:07 |
| wingsnut90 | is there any way to fix it | 01:07 |
| genii | wingsnut90: Maybe get a usb-ps2 adapter to use the usb keyboard through the ps2 port | 01:07 |
| Babutoo | (rebooting) | 01:08 |
| MementoMori | ok | 01:08 |
| wingsnut90 | that didnt work either, i tried that | 01:08 |
| wingsnut90 | probably just a new keyboard? | 01:08 |
| Babutoo | ok ping name and telnet name 80 work after reboot | 01:09 |
| MementoMori | ok | 01:10 |
| genii | wingsnut90: See if bios has something like "legacy usb support" ... some do and need it on to use usb keyboards. Although if not working might be hard to hit DEL to get into bios.... etc... New kb might just be best option without extensive screwing around | 01:10 |
| MementoMori | what's inside resolv.conf? | 01:10 |
| Babutoo | one line : nameserver 102.168.1.1 | 01:10 |
| Babutoo | 192* | 01:10 |

| Babutoo | (there is a comment : #modified by networkmanager) | 01:11 |
| Babutoo | i close networkmanager ? | 01:11 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: no | 01:11 |
| MementoMori | dont worry about this now | 01:12 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: first line: | 01:12 |
| MementoMori | nameserver 208.67.222.222 | 01:12 |
| Babutoo | i add 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 ? | 01:12 |
| MementoMori | nameserver 208.67.220.220 | 01:12 |
| MementoMori | yes add them | 01:12 |
| MementoMori | put 192.168.1.1 as the last line | 01:13 |

| Babutoo | i think we'll have to give up | 01:14 |
| MementoMori | is network.dns.disableIPv6 set to true in firefox? | 01:15 |
| Babutoo | yes i just checked | 01:15 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: I really dont know what else you can try | 01:15 |
| Babutoo | but i don't think the problem is coming from configuration in my computer | 01:16 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: try posting into the forum | 01:16 |
| Babutoo | since my computer worked on others ethernet connections | 01:16 |
| MementoMori | Babutoo: I fear yes | 01:16 |
| Babutoo | i think the problem is coming from the configuration of my "Alicebox" | 01:17 |
| MementoMori | the olny think you should check is dns router conf | 01:17 |
| MementoMori | in italy alice sux | 01:17 |
| MementoMori | but works... | 01:17 |
| Babutoo | it works well on windows | 01:17 |
| MementoMori | anyway... i'm sorry but I go bed | 01:18 |

| genii | NVidia has my vote | 01:23 |
| sparr | how can i tell i my computer recognizes that there is a CD/DVD in the drive? | 01:25 |
| genii | sparr: usually command: mount by itself will report either iso9660 or udf filesystem of a cd in the drive mounted normally at either /media/cdrom or sometimes just /cdrom | 01:29 |
| sparr | genii: the drive is not mounted | 01:29 |
| genii | sparr: Are you using KDE or Gnome? Since you are double-posting this issue to both #ubuntu and here | 01:30 |
| sparr | i am currently running both | 01:30 |
| sparr | KDE on :0 and Gnome on :1 | 01:30 |
| genii | OK fair enough :) | 01:31 |
| sparr | so if any utilities of either would be helpful, shoot | 01:31 |
| genii | sparr: Likely there is no /etc/fstab entry to automount a cdrom or dvd when it finds one there. | 01:32 |
| sparr | i have an entry for /dev/hdb mounted as /media/cdrom0 | 01:32 |
| genii | sparr: Please copy the 1 line from /etc/fstab regarding it | 01:33 |
| === ccadieux is now known as cadoo | ||
| genii | sparr: Copy to here for examination, that is | 01:33 |
| sparr | /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 | 01:34 |
| sparr | data CDs automount properly, and pop up the appropriate dialogs in KDE and gnome | 01:34 |
| genii | sparr: The "noauto" there might be the problem | 01:34 |
| sparr | noauto just means not to mount at boot and "mount -a" time | 01:34 |
| genii | sparr: So cds are working properly but not a specific dvd you have? | 01:35 |
| genii | I guess he's occupied arguing there in #ubuntu | 01:38 |
| sparr | not for long, i usually get banned a few minutes after asking there | 01:39 |
| sparr | i ask, they respond with random factoid from the bot, i complain that the factoid had nothing to do with my question, they ban me | 01:39 |
| sparr | it's a fun cycle | 01:39 |
| genii | sparr: Yup. But I gather it's a dvd which is not mounting or so? | 01:40 |
| sparr | it wont recognize data DVDs either | 01:40 |
| sparr | audio and data CDs, good | 01:40 |
| sparr | DVDs, no good | 01:41 |
| sparr | it recently stopped being able to burn DVDs as well. blank DVDs are recognized by the computer, but the burn fails | 01:41 |
| sparr | im hoping its a software issue, but it could easily be a hardware problem | 01:41 |
| genii | Hmm. Data dvds should be using just UDF2 unless they are the oddball type which Vista makes on backups (UDF2.5 or so). | 01:42 |
| genii | sparr: Testing the drive in another box might be a good idea to eliminate hardware fail of the dvd laser | 01:42 |
| sparr | dont have another box handy :( | 01:42 |
| sparr | and the data DVDs are UDF2 and/or ISO | 01:43 |
| genii | sparr: Does it let you manually mount for instance a data dvd using udf as fs type? | 01:43 |
| sparr | the /dev/hdb device doesnt exist when i insert a DVD | 01:44 |
| genii | Add/remove/switch around drives lately? | 01:44 |
| sparr | yes | 01:44 |
| genii | eg: hdb is now some other designation | 01:44 |
| sparr | unplugged some hard drives | 01:44 |
| sparr | nah, the drive is still hdb | 01:45 |
| sparr | the device shows up when i put in a CD | 01:45 |
| genii | Conceivably some master/slave/cable select weirdness depending on the end or middle of ribon (if IDE) | 01:46 |
| genii | sparr: I'm suspecting hardware issue | 01:47 |

| bradford | acutally i could not get the driver in the floder it ask for even with su | 02:01 |

| dennister | ok...finally got scrollkeeper fixed, all other installed packages supposedly setup and configured, anyway | 02:08 |
| dennister | new problem: login screen...won't accept any typing or mouse actions...can't enter user name, let alone password | 02:08 |
| genii | dennister: Sounds like a USB keyboard and mouse issue | 02:09 |
| dennister | usb mouse, anyway...regular keyboard | 02:09 |
| genii | dennister: I'd try kernel option of usb-handoff helps with this sometimes | 02:10 |
| dennister | well i'm in recovery console at moment; will try to startx as root (I know: bad, but just for a sec)...have just inserted ps2 mouse instead of usb | 02:12 |
| genii | dennister: Instead of starting X from root use instead: telinit 2 | 02:12 |
| genii | dennister: Which should make it go to usual runlevels and load up the login manager | 02:13 |
| [ifr0g] | Whats the restricted driver installer command? | 02:14 |
| XenThraL | Hi I`m having trouble getting my onboard intel G31 express card working | 02:16 |
| XenThraL | apparently it used to work fine with 7.10 but not 8.04 | 02:17 |
| XenThraL | can anyone lend me a hand? | 02:17 |
| dennister | genii: i'm trying it now...had to cold boot again...:( | 02:18 |
| [ifr0g] | omg, 256 users and no one knows about jockey-kde :( | 02:18 |
| genii | [ifr0g]: You mean to install the package of for instance kubuntu-restricted-extras or linux-restricted-modules-generic or to run the restricted-manager application? | 02:19 |
| genii | dennister: OK seeya soon hopefully | 02:19 |
| dennister | genii: u leaving? | 02:20 |
| dennister | i tried telinit 2...usb mouse was working till the second gdm login finished, then froze | 02:20 |
| dennister | keyboard also nonresponsive | 02:22 |
| genii | dennister: So kde or so loaded then they became again dead? | 02:22 |
| dennister | yep, at gdm login screen | 02:22 |
| dennister | that was with usb mouse, have unplugged, inserted ps2 mouse instead of usb...will see if boots up | 02:23 |
| dennister | i always use usb mice on my main computer...never seen this prob before | 02:24 |
| genii | dennister: Some onboard usb controllers which also control the ps2 ports need the: usb-handoff kernel option at boot as I said earlier. Also in this specific case it may be X knew of the previous mouse which was usb and so the ps2 one didn't work since the default pointing device likely the usb one inthe xorg.conf or so | 02:26 |
| dennister | genii: yes, it's gotta be the particular usb controller of this compaq machine...so i should probably edit grub / menu.list to add the "usb-handoff" as an option, right? | 02:29 |
| dennister | but edit xorg.conf first, using recovery mode, to change mouse from usb to ps2? | 02:30 |
| bradford | genii i found all drivers and system made the dir but don't have permission to copy to the floder i told you i was new how do i get the files into the lib floder? | 02:30 |
| [ifr0g] | genii, restricted-manager | 02:32 |
| [ifr0g] | genii, anyways, whats the panel called in kde4? what app is it? | 02:33 |
| genii | dennister: Yes, I'd try that | 02:33 |
| genii | [ifr0g]: I'm pretty sure kicker-kde4 or something similar | 02:34 |
| genii | bradford: Where are the files you need to copy over right now? What directory for instance | 02:34 |
| bradford | i copied all from windows into floder called wland trying to get into that lib folder | 02:35 |
| bradford | put them to desktop | 02:36 |
| [ifr0g] | genii, nope. | 02:37 |
| dennister | genii: well i'd love to try it, but now i can't get pc to get past compaq splash into grub...not with usb mouse, not with ps2 mouse, not with no mouse ( pretty sure I have it configured to halt on no error except keyboard) but i could be confusing this system of judy's with the ones i usually do) | 02:38 |
| genii | bradford: OK. So make now a folder on desktop called "i3945" and put those files in there. Then in Konsole: sudo cp ~/Desktop/i3945/* /lib/firmware/i3945 that should copy them over. Then you need to do the: sudo ndiswrapper -i /lib/firmware/i3945/infname.inf where infname is the name of te .inf file | 02:39 |
| genii | [ifr0g]: They'll know the name for sure in #kubuntu-kde4 channel | 02:40 |
| genii | dennister: I hate compaqs | 02:40 |
| genii | AFK doorbell | 02:41 |
| dennister | well, they're not my fav, either...down with proprietary hardware! | 02:41 |
| [ifr0g] | genii, oh, there was a channel. Tx. | 02:42 |

| ubuntu_ | hello all! I think i screwed up X, all i get is a blinking cursor... i think i messed up display settings | 03:32 |
| lampe | <<<<restart | 03:33 |
| genii | ubuntu_: Boot to recovery kernel. Then issue: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to set up display settings again. Then after that: telinit 2 to make it continue normally | 03:33 |
| ubuntu_ | what is telinit? genii | 03:34 |
| lampe | back | 03:35 |
| ubuntu_ | im gonna give it a try thanks genii | 03:37 |
| genii | ubuntu_: telinit is a command which tells the computer to go to a certain run level. So on ubuntu run levels 2,3,4 and 5 are for multiuser which can run X and so on. Runlevel 0 is halt and runlevel 6 is reboot | 03:38 |
| genii | Runlevel 1 is what the system goes to in recovery kernel so telinit 2 is needed to change it | 03:38 |

| 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 | 04:44 |
| cyberponix | genii: the mp3 player not the old school walkmans | 04:44 |
| genii | ubuntu_: When you issued the command of: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it would have asked quite a few questions like what keyboard, etc. At that point one at least one of the questions would have been about the video card make or driver, to which when unsure, a person puts "vesa" | 04:45 |
| ubuntu_ | yes its vesa | 04:46 |
| anom01y | I already install sun-java6-jre, but firefox java doesnt work | 04:46 |

| ubuntu_ | genii: i was soposed to type all that after pressing ctrl,alt,f1 and logging in , right? | 04:49 |

| genii | ubuntu_: No, I had told you to boot up to single user mode (recovery kernel) and then issue: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then: telinit 2 At which poinjt we got into a discussion about runlevels | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | genii: i tried that and i got an error about -r and -e conflickts, maybe i had a space. But i missed to lecture on run levels, sounds interensting | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | im gonna log off and try it again...... thnx Again genii | 04:55 |
| genii | dennister: To answer your previous question I'm alive but under-caffeinated | 04:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | can someone help me, i want ot download swiftweael or gnu's icecat | 04:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but it's not in the repos | 04:58 |
| genii | CostaRicanQuaker: icecat is just firefox with open-source artwork so it conforms to debian standards. We already have firefox in all *buntus since we don't need to conform to Debians policy. | 05:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | genii: how do i get icecat though? someone told me to download some tar.gz file but i dont know where | 05:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | its not in the repos | 05:06 |
| genii | <sigh> | 05:07 |
| dennister | genii: i feel like sighing too | 05:07 |
| dennister | you must be right about the usb-keyboard problem...there's nothing else that explains this wierd behaviour | 05:08 |
| dennister | problem is: i can get as far as checking xorg.conf does have ps2 mouse listed (not usb) and then entire console freezes (this is with ps2 mouse attached) | 05:09 |
| genii | dennister: Those compaq and dell boxes sometimes get all weird for no apparent reason too | 05:09 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | genii: which should i click? | 05:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/download/ | 05:10 |
| dennister | tell me about it...real issue is that I can't find in the bios the option to continue through all errors but keybaord...lots of time i don't even get the compaq splash, never mind grub...just black screen | 05:10 |
| f3rr311 | hey | 05:10 |
| f3rr311 | has anyone had a problem with kde logout/shutdown? | 05:11 |
| flaccid | sure many times f3rr311 | 05:11 |
| genii | CostaRicanQuaker: Since you're insisting on installing software not packaged with Ubuntu for no apparent reason (since forefox supplied with Ubuntu is superior to icecat) I can't really say "click on this one" or "click on that one" to you, in good faith | 05:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but what about richard stallman? | 05:12 |
| dennister | whenever i get black screen at try-to-bootup, or in console during recovery mode....I have to unplug the whole box for quite awhile....just shutting off with power button doesn't help, as the standby buttons arre still flashing | 05:12 |
| f3rr311 | my issue is if i logout or shut down it won't go ne were screen goes black | 05:13 |
| genii | CostaRicanQuaker: Whichever one you choose there, you're going to have to compile it. So don't ask me about doing that | 05:13 |
| f3rr311 | using kde menu and it wont save app settings | 05:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !compile | 05:13 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 05:13 |
| genii | dennister: Sounds like the machine has some overheating or other issue goin on | 05:14 |
| f3rr311 | my issue has somthing to do with ati prop drivers i think | 05:15 |
| dthacker | f3rr311: have you tailed the messages log during shutdown to see if something interesting is being written to it? | 05:16 |
| genii | Jucato: Relaxing over there or somethin? ;) | 05:16 |
| genii | dthacker: Thanks, was feelin a bit alone | 05:16 |
| f3rr311 | dthhacker: what log sould i look in? | 05:17 |
| dthacker | f3rr311: start with /var/log/messages | 05:17 |
| dennister | yeah...it's gotta be that...now it's even freezing at the grub stage, while I'm trying to edit the grub line | 05:17 |
| dennister | ok...this could be a really stupid question, but: other drive (winblows, of course) has a trojan horse, which is one reason why i'm trying to dual-boot this machine...i've told the owner a trojan affecting a winblows drive would not jump and affect a brand new drive with linux on it | 05:19 |
| dennister | am I correct, or wrong? | 05:19 |
| davidm | dennister: Windows viruses don't affect linux | 05:20 |
| dthacker | dennister: correct | 05:20 |
| dennister | that's what i thought...but a trojan is not a virus, either | 05:20 |
| genii | dennister: An MBR type virus can affect any OS, because its not dependant on one | 05:20 |
| dennister | it's been so long stince i dealt with winblows malware i'm forgetting :) | 05:20 |
| davidm | dennister: Do you know what Trojan it was? | 05:21 |
| dennister | no i don't...i will try to identify and research it tomorrow | 05:21 |
| f3rr311 | is there a way to make kubuntu load like you can with fedora that allows you to watch the bootup prossess | 05:21 |
| dennister | I simply told her, "I don't support winblows for free because i don't think it's in anyone's best interest to enable them" :P | 05:22 |
| dthacker | I think F8 will remove the spash screen | 05:22 |
| dthacker | and let you see the gory details | 05:22 |
| dennister | Linux, otoh, i support for free, heheheh | 05:22 |
| genii | f3rr311: Remove the parts quiet and splash from the end of the kernel loading line to see all the text | 05:22 |
| davidm | dennister: To answer your question, the only way the trojan could affect Linux was if it tampered with the boot sector. And most modern trojans/viruses/malware don't do that | 05:23 |
| dthacker | afk, getting more coffee | 05:23 |
| dennister | and the mbr, as well as kubuntu, are on totally different physical drive...i just installed the drive today, for linux, so I was correct | 05:23 |
| f3rr311 | -f861b685dfb3 ro quiet splash | 05:23 |
| f3rr311 | leave ro | 05:24 |
| genii | f3rr311: Yup | 05:24 |
| f3rr311 | ok | 05:24 |
| f3rr311 | and the work quiet on the next line remove that? | 05:25 |
| dennister | ok, unplugged entire machine, will let it cool and then take the heatsink off to check the thermal grease | 05:25 |
| genii | f3rr311: Just the one on the kernel load line should be needed for removal | 05:25 |
| genii | dennister: Does it seem toasty when you check exhaust fans? | 05:26 |
| dennister | no, not really...it doesn't even have time to get hot before it freezes, in the compaq flash, the bios, grub, or soon in console...if it gets that far | 05:28 |
| dennister | oops...compaq splash | 05:28 |
| genii | dennister: Did you do the memtest off the cdrom on it? | 05:29 |
| dennister | although earlier this afternoon it was getting quite the workout when I was installing linux...these freezings didn't start until i got kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop fully installed...after the scrollkeeper problem was finally resolved and installed | 05:29 |
| dennister | no, haven't done the memtest | 05:30 |
| f3rr311 | yall ever seen this AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23' | 05:30 |
| flaccid | f3rr311: i get that all the time. seems normal with ati and maybe other drivers | 05:30 |
| genii | dennister: You have exact model of that thing? | 05:31 |
| flaccid | f3rr311: and the screen goes black thing is an existing bug which is most annoying. they can't find a way to fix yet | 05:31 |
| f3rr311 | ahhhhh | 05:32 |
| f3rr311 | lol | 05:32 |
| f3rr311 | it will shut down if i use the power button on case | 05:32 |
| sch | .... | 05:32 |
| f3rr311 | also i have the 9800 xt how do i enable the overdrive as ati called it | 05:33 |
| dennister | genii: yes, its the EN...hold on, i did have it written down | 05:33 |
| dthacker | !ati | 05:34 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:34 |
| flaccid | f3rr311: same. i have a 9600. i have hard crash many times a day | 05:34 |
| f3rr311 | no i have driver lol im tring to get the ov er cloced states that it has | 05:35 |
| f3rr311 | POWERplay version 3. 4 power states available: | 05:35 |
| flaccid | f3rr311: i've never heard of that sorry | 05:35 |
| dennister | genii: ENM P550/S9...although serian number will tell u more | 05:35 |
| dennister | 6952 cr24 K210 | 05:36 |
| dennister | by chance i'd been given one just like it, and was inventorying it a couple of days before Judy asked me to help her with hers | 05:37 |
| genii | dennister: Dagmn. 4 google results and none enlightenin | 05:37 |
| dennister | genii: yeah...which is why I'm here, heheheh...did quite a bit of research on the model a few days ago, trying to find specs and manuals...which i did find, too | 05:38 |
| dennister | this freezing up nonsense is very new, and i'm sure manuals wouldn't be addressing that, lol | 05:39 |
| === padi is now known as padi_ | ||
| dennister | so now that come to think about it, although it does seem like there's an overheating problem, that can't be it because it's not getting enough uptime to actually get hot... | 05:40 |
| padi_ | hello all,newbie here | 05:41 |
| dennister | and cpu overheating (hence checking thermal grease) would shut a pc down completely, immediately, and unexpectedly...not freeze it | 05:41 |
| * dthacker recommends the memtest | 05:41 | |
| dthacker | !hello | padi_ | 05:42 |
| ubottu | padi_: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 05:42 |
| dennister | dthacker...think ur right...will go out, have a cig, come back and turn it on, for running overnight | 05:42 |
| padi_ | thanks, I'm new to linux too | 05:42 |
| se7en | padi as in Professional Association of Diving Instructors :) | 05:42 |
| padi_ | er,no, it's the Welsh version of Paddy! | 05:42 |
| se7en | :) | 05:43 |
| padi_ | but I get a lot of references to diving though.... I wonder why? | 05:43 |
| genii | Well it's 12:45am and I'm at work later this morning, so see you all later | 05:45 |
| genii | dennister: I'll be on from work in about 8-9 hours | 05:46 |
| dennister | missed him | 05:49 |
| dennister | dthacker: running memtest now, | 05:50 |
| dthacker | have fun! | 05:51 |
| dennister | shoot...it's even freezing up on memtest...even esc (reboot)'s not working | 05:51 |
| dennister | exhaust fan is still cool | 05:53 |
| dennister | could a faulty first stick of memory cause memtest to freeze machine? | 05:55 |
| flaccid | probably | 05:55 |

| nardvark | anyone able to help a noob with nvidia and screen driver problem | 06:07 |
| flaccid | !ask | nardvark | 06:07 |
| ubottu | nardvark: 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. :-) | 06:07 |
| dr_Willis | depends on the exact problem i imagine, | 06:07 |
| dr_Willis | You may also want to state youf video card/chipset, and what you have done to install the nvidia drivers so far. | 06:08 |
| nardvark | i have a evga nvidia 7950gt ive removed all nvidia stuff and installed the most up todate driver off the website | 06:09 |
| dr_Willis | so why did you decide to not use the nvidia drivers in the repository? | 06:09 |
| nardvark | basically everytime i reboot x i get a balckscreen of death | 06:10 |
| dr_Willis | and did you use the 'envyng' tool to install the latest? or just downloaded the things and are trying to install them manually? | 06:10 |
| nardvark | ive tryed the restricted drivers i get a black screen ive tryed envy i get a blackscreen | 06:10 |
| dennister | k, gonna go on other machine...at least winblows is loading...not freezing anyway...will try to find out about this trojan | 06:10 |
| nardvark | ive been at this for the last 2 weeks and thought maybe someone here could help me | 06:11 |
| flaccid | nardvark: check the log | 06:12 |
| dr_Willis | well booting to the console. and trying 'startx' and seeing what sort of error messages it spits out would be handy. | 06:12 |
| dr_Willis | thats one way to see them. I forget where else the logs are at when started from kdm/gdm | 06:12 |
| flaccid | just remember to stop kdm first before doing startx | 06:12 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | Agent_bob: I'm glad to see you, I decided to wipe out my entire hard drive, then i installed one of the 15 kubuntu cds i from canonical today and installed gnome and xfce, i am on xubuntu right now and i'm like the simplicity and quickness of it the most | 07:02 |

| flaccid | yeah you do not need a firewall, particularly because out of box there are no open ports listening either | 07:32 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i shouldn't worry about "prrotecting my home network"? this guy was a net engineer but he was on windows | 07:33 |
| jussi01 | !firewall | 07:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 07:34 |
| jussi01 | CostaRicanQuaker: as it says, the firewall is built in already. if you want to manage it in any way, I would install guarddog | 07:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | jussi: so kubuntu/xubuntu/ubuntu is completely safe to install at my NGO's network? | 07:35 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: well is your ubuntu machine acting as your router? i doubt it is. you are probably behind a hardware router/firewall.. | 07:35 |
| jussi01 | CostaRicanQuaker: come on, thats a pretty loaded question- but as safe or safer than windows imho | 07:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | flaccid: jussi: my concern is this, i want to install kubuntu/ubuntu at my NGO's now they use a wireless router and have had attacks | 07:36 |
| jussi01 | !tab | CostaRicanQuaker | 07:36 |
| ubottu | CostaRicanQuaker: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:36 |
| intelikey | one more time. | 07:37 |
| flaccid | 1. i don't know what NGO is 2. out of the box there are no ports open so they can't get in anyway | 07:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so if install kubuntu at the peace centre's it will be bydefault safer than windows' | 07:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ?* | 07:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | or should i THEN install guarddog? | 07:37 |
| flaccid | like jussi01 was saying, thats a loaded question. and like i've said twice, there are no ports open | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | hehehe i think i messed up. what kind of time stamp is this ? 15:01AM | 07:38 |
| jussi01 | CostaRicanQuaker: guarddog is just a front end for managing iptables - which is already installed | 07:39 |
| flaccid | i think there is enough evidence around to say in general that Linux is safter than Windows | 07:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so if anyone asks at the NGO and say theyhave to set up a router security system or something | 07:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i can just tell them it's already installed in ubuntu and refer to that link? | 07:39 |
| jussi01 | CostaRicanQuaker: ubuntu has a firewall thats what you were asking I beleive - its built in by default | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | installed != configured but in general terms yes. | 07:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | great | 07:40 |
| flaccid | just say you are running linux with no servers installed. if you have set up ssh or samba or something, just let them know and make sure you have strong passwords.. | 07:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | one more set of computers switched from microsoft to ubuntu | 07:41 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what was the comand to get the flash plugins to be able to open youtube | 07:44 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | is this correct: sudo apt-get install flashplugin non-free ? | 07:44 |
| se7en_ | !flash | 07:44 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 07:44 |
| karl_ | it's sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 07:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | karl_, thanks | 07:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | will the everyday run of the mill shipit kubuntu cd work on an apple macintosh computer? | 07:48 |
| karl_ | np | 07:48 |
| karl_ | depends on the era of macintosh | 07:48 |
| karl_ | any of the new ones, yes | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | as in can i format the disk and then install kubuntu from the same cds? | 07:48 |
| karl_ | yes, as long as they aren't powerpc | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | the same cd as the one i was sent for windows? | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i got | 07:48 |
| karl_ | if it has an intel processor, you can use the same cd | 07:48 |
| intelikey | also there are shipit i386 k8 and mac cd's | 07:48 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | kubuntu 8.04 | 07:49 |
| intelikey | yes | 07:49 |
| jussi01 | CostaRicanQuaker: how old is the mac? | 07:49 |
| intelikey | depends on which you order | 07:49 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: how did you get more than 1 cd from shipit? | 07:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i think it's one of them blue ones...you know those that came out in the early two thousands | 07:49 |
| karl_ | you'll need the powerpc disc | 07:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | flaccid: i ordered fifteen in the special request | 07:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | powerpc disc? | 07:50 |
| intelikey | yep | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !shipit | 07:50 |
| ubottu | shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Hardy (8.04) CDs | 07:50 |
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: was that the first time you had ordered with shipit? | 07:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no, i had already ordered years ago, i had ordered like 5 cds of kubuntu version 5.10 | 07:50 |
| * intelikey wonders why so many... | 07:51 | |
| intelikey | you can make copies to give away. | 07:51 |
| karl_ | intelikey: shuriken | 07:51 |
| intelikey | ;/ | 07:51 |
| karl_ | i turned mine into christmas tree orniments | 07:52 |
| karl_ | ; ) | 07:52 |
| flaccid | maybe i missed that special request link on the webpage or something | 07:52 |
| * intelikey thinks too much of FOSS to waste the free resources, | 07:52 | |
| flaccid | ah i see it now. CostaRicanQuaker why did you raise a special request and get 15 ? | 07:52 |
| === yalhua is now known as kenami | ||
| CostaRicanQuaker | well...you see, costaricans are very vain people who like products, i am one of them | 07:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | they like the product looking look and i understand this is an lts | 07:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so they will last for a wee while | 07:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so if i came with a copy i burned | 07:53 |
| flaccid | !enter | CostaRicanQuaker | 07:54 |
| ubottu | CostaRicanQuaker: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | they'd probably think it's just some weird linux "program" that is not really as good as microsoft, so i want ot change as many computers as i can from windows to ubuntu | 07:54 |
| intelikey | so make a pretty cover for the burned copy. </rolls eyes> | 07:54 |
| kenami | ?? | 07:55 |
| kenami | o/ | 07:55 |
| flaccid | thats a fair enough point, i just hope that your distribution is effective.. | 07:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | flaccid: me too...now, i only see, 64 bit and desktop at the shipit orderingpage | 07:56 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i want to orderthsi for macs kubuntu as we got a donation of a mac today | 07:56 |
| flaccid | what type of mac is it? | 07:56 |
| karl_ | an old blue one | 07:56 |
| flaccid | keep in mind you can also purchase cds in quantities from various sources.. | 07:57 |
| flaccid | an imac g3 300 or someting? | 07:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i think it's an old imac yes | 07:57 |
| intelikey | super mac | 07:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so which should i get? | 07:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | the 64 bit, or the ones i got will work on it? | 07:59 |
| intelikey | neither | 07:59 |
| karl_ | you need to get the powerpc | 07:59 |
| karl_ | as we've said | 07:59 |
| karl_ | over and over | 07:59 |
| flaccid | you need to check its arch and see if its ppc (powerpc). i have an imac g3 and yeah the g processors are obviously ppc.. | 07:59 |
| flaccid | its always a good idea to verify instead of guessing as well :) | 07:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i dont seethe powerpc listed from shipit | 07:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | on shipit* | 08:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | now, karl_: you said that if its an intel processor the ones i got will work, this is always correct? | 08:01 |
| === neptunepink is now known as purpleposeidon | ||
| flaccid | CostaRicanQuaker: you probably are not going to get a response because its been answered already. old macs are not intel-based. | 08:04 |
| intelikey | there is not a ppc iso listed what's up ? | 08:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | intelikey: that's what i meant | 08:04 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker try in the vanella "ubuntu" section | 08:06 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | intelikey: where is that option? i am @ shipit and i cant see it even in the special requests | 08:07 |
| flaccid | doesn't look like kubuntu builds current releases in ppc http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download | 08:08 |
| intelikey | Note to PowerPC (PPC) and SPARC users: These types of computers are not | 08:09 |
| intelikey | supported by the newest versions of Ubuntu. However Ubuntu 6.06 is still | 08:09 |
| intelikey | supported and available for your machine. | 08:09 |
| hume | hi.... I have some questions about kexi - anyone here can assist? first of all I cannot figure out if there is a way to create relationships between tables for use in forms, to assist insertion of data - anyone knows? | 08:09 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| intelikey | flaccid doesn't look like any *buntu does. | 08:09 |
| intelikey | that's a quote from the official download link ^ not supported other than dapper | 08:10 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | flaccid: so that means in english that the only available version of ubuntu for macs is dapper | 08:10 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker correct, even if im not flaccid | 08:11 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so i can still burn an image form there get dapper and install kubuntu and gnome on it albeit without the upgrades | 08:11 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker that's a pretty good assessment | 08:11 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: if you don't mind a little more work, and want something currently supported, might i suggest debian? | 08:11 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker IS FLABBERGASTED | 08:12 | |
| * CostaRicanQuaker points at the nonbuntu-er | 08:12 | |
| intelikey | geek he's new to linux, so if you lead him there, then help him there | 08:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok...hmm | 08:13 |
| === narg_ is now known as narg | ||
| intelikey | it's not a bad idea at all. but: more work is right. | 08:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | geek: does debian hve something like shipit? ihave not once been able to burn an image from my computers that worked | 08:13 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | even when the hashsums were right theyalways burnt with errors | 08:13 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: hmm. i usually use the netinstall disks... which are smaller | 08:14 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | netinstall disks? can you link me to this info? | 08:14 |
| intelikey | www.OSDisc.com | 08:14 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: one moment. i assume the mac has internet access? | 08:15 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it will, as there's a wireless connection at the peace centre | 08:15 |
| geek | http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst | 08:15 |
| stevecarolinian | I am getting lots of Java Script errors when loading web pages. Am running Kubuntu 6.06 LTS. What can I do to eliminate these please? | 08:15 |
| intelikey | www.linuxcd.org | 08:15 |
| flaccid | stevecarolinian: contact the author of the webpage in question | 08:15 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: its not as easy as ubuntu, as intelikey mentioned, but as i said, you'll have maintained, very stable packages, though not ones as new as ubuntu | 08:16 |
| stevecarolinian | Getting these errors on too many different pages. I think it is my computer, not the pages. | 08:16 |
| stevecarolinian | I can I correct Java handling on my computer? | 08:17 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | geek: how hard would you say ubuntu is from 1-10 10 being the highest? | 08:17 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | from the perspective of a windows to linux switchee | 08:17 |
| fkm | http://www.radionetherlands.nl/news/international/5876879/Dutch-caf-changes-to-smokers-paradise-church | 08:17 |
| fkm | :) | 08:17 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: well for me there was little to no learving curve, just a matter of workin out how installers worked and what apps to use. 2-3 for me | 08:18 |
| flaccid | stevecarolinian: java != javascript. you can also try a different browser | 08:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | geek: how hard would you say debian is from 1-10 | 08:18 |
| geek | debian would be a 5, maybe 6 if you wanted to take the time to get a leaner install | 08:18 |
| stevecarolinian | How do get a different browser that Konqueror? | 08:19 |
| geek | (with 10 being me in tears at my system) | 08:19 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian install it in the package manager | 08:19 |
| fkm | stevecarolinian, "apt-get install firefox" ;-) | 08:19 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | geek: leaner install? what does that mean? the info you pointed basically saysthat i could install it from the internet | 08:19 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker if you have the band width that's a good methood | 08:20 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: you can, for example, start with a plain KDE install with no additional apps, and add what you need as you need them | 08:20 |
| geek | i tend to build my debian boxen from pretty much nothing other than the bare minimum, and add stuff as and when i need them. they tend to be VERY VERY lean | 08:21 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker there is a #debian channel for all debian related help. | 08:21 |
| * Jucato notes that this is #kubuntu... discussing other distros is better in #kubuntu-offtopic | 08:21 | |
| geek | yup | 08:21 |
| geek | Jucato: my bad | 08:21 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok, first i will check tomorrow about the mac | 08:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | then i might do that | 08:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | my passion is ubuntu and eventually linux but for now i'm still learning | 08:22 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker :) | 08:23 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: everyone is always learning ;p | 08:23 |
| intelikey | may i mention that linux is the kerenl, and the user space apps are GNU even in GNU/Linux-*buntu | 08:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | intelikey: i just sent meself an email with everything i need to install this operative system at the pc centre's computers | 08:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | GNU rules, GPL rules, Richard Stallman rules | 08:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !Richard Stallman | 08:24 |

| flaccid | stevecarolinian: Opera is also another good option, see !Opera | 08:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i have a question | 08:26 |
| intelikey | Q "what do linux users do?" | 08:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i get my sony ericsson phone w810i to work now that i've switched to ubuntu | 08:26 |
| intelikey | A "they install software." | 08:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | as in to plug it into my computer and be able to open it | 08:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and load music into it | 08:27 |
| geek | intelikey: A: "they do anything other users do" ;p | 08:27 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: is it mass storage compatable, or is there a driver in windows? | 08:27 |
| intelikey | geek stick to the script. don't adlib. | 08:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | geek: what? there was a driver in windows as in there's a cd somewhere i used | 08:28 |
| geek | intelikey: i forgot to reherse ;p | 08:28 |
| geek | CostaRicanQuaker: thought so | 08:28 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker but does it have an option to emulate disk mode ? | 08:29 |
| intelikey | on the device itself | 08:29 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i check for that? | 08:29 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | should i plug the cell into the usb? | 08:29 |
| intelikey | on the device itself, in it's menus | 08:29 |
| intelikey | if it can act as mass storage. then accessing it is easy. if it can't then i don't think i know. | 08:30 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so what do i do? | 08:30 |
| * intelikey head desk | 08:31 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it doesnt say anything about emulating disk mode on the menus | 08:31 |
| intelikey | no disk mode ? | 08:31 |
| intelikey | then i'm backing out, on this one. | 08:31 |
| intelikey | NEXT ! | 08:31 |
| geek | most of what i can find from google involves bluetooth | 08:31 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it has bluetooth | 08:32 |
| intelikey | that's an idea | 08:32 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | but i want to be able to stick it to the usb | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and put songs in it | 08:33 |
| intelikey | so plug it in and see what it does | 08:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | by the way what is the best p2p client for kubuntu to get music | 08:33 |
| intelikey | !p2p | 08:33 |
| ubottu | Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information | 08:33 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker does that | 08:33 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | er...from personal experience i mean | 08:33 |
| stevecarolinian | Are files for alternate browsers already on Kubuntu? | 08:34 |
| stevecarolinian | Or do i need to download them? | 08:34 |
| intelikey | dl | 08:34 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian the package manager will dl them | 08:34 |
| kunixos | CostaRicanQuaker: i have had nothing but good use from Gtk-Gnutella | 08:35 |
| kunixos | sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella | 08:35 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian you on dialup ? | 08:35 |
| stevecarolinian | I have Adept Installer open and I see other browsers mentioned. | 08:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | intelikey: it opened up...it recognized the phonecard | 08:35 |
| stevecarolinian | Yes, on dialup. | 08:35 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian me too. ;/ | 08:35 |
| stevecarolinian | : ( | 08:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | intelikey: but i only see one mp3 where there should be many | 08:36 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian so you wont to dl any more than you have too. but the package manager will fetch the packages you tell it too | 08:36 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker i know nothing. nothing at all. | 08:37 |
| stevecarolinian | I see other browser showing in Adept Installer, but they are "faded out". | 08:37 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ah well, i finally got kubuntu and xubuntu and gnome up and running and got rid of windows and everythings working smoothly | 08:37 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian you can use the cli version and get what you like. konsole command example: sudo apt-get install firefox | 08:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 08:38 |
| intelikey | CostaRicanQuaker and not in a ntfs anymore ? | 08:38 |
| * CostaRicanQuaker installs gtk-gnutella | 08:38 | |
| CostaRicanQuaker | not anymore, wiped out all the disk and installed kubuntu from the shipit disks | 08:39 |
| intelikey | goodonyamate :) | 08:39 |
| intelikey | good on ya mate :) | 08:39 |
| stevecarolinian | will try a konsole command | 08:40 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 08:40 |
| * intelikey watches stevecarolinian try it with adept still open.... | 08:41 | |
| stevecarolinian | are you trying to tell me i should close Adept? | 08:41 |
| stevecarolinian | LOL | 08:41 |
| intelikey | :) | 08:41 |
| intelikey | not me ! | 08:42 |
| stevecarolinian | I think I may have my answer: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 08:43 |
| intelikey | see see :) | 08:43 |
| stevecarolinian | Hey, you are not making this any easier. I am a Linux newbie. | 08:44 |
| intelikey | sorry. | 08:44 |
| stevecarolinian | that OK | 08:44 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian enjoy being laughed at now. then you can do the same to others later cause you earned it. | 08:45 |
| stevecarolinian | I am a perpetual student at the school of hard knocks... | 08:45 |
| flaccid | !adeptfix | stevecarolinian this is for when you have closed adept but still have problem | 08:46 |
| ubottu | flaccid: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:46 |
| flaccid | !adeptfix | 08:46 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 08:46 |
| intelikey | and really i don't mean to make it sound like i would take pleasure in your pain, that's not it. i just love good humour when it happens by. | 08:46 |
| intelikey | flaccid it didn't crash, he ran apt-get with adept still open | 08:47 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian simply closing adept and then retrying the command is all you need. | 08:47 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian now. also within the adept package manager you should have the option to enable extra repos. check it's menus out for all the neet stuff. | 08:48 |
| flaccid | intelikey: yes it was an fyi! | 08:49 |
| stevecarolinian | Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 08:49 |
| intelikey | !info firefox | 08:49 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox-3.0): meta package for the popular mozilla web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (hardy), package size 64 kB, installed size 120 kB | 08:49 |
| stevecarolinian | This may mean that the package is missing, | 08:50 |
| intelikey | that's in main if it's not avalable then you may not have your "main" repo enabled. | 08:50 |
| stevecarolinian | has been obsoleted, | 08:50 |
| intelikey | it's in "main" | 08:50 |
| intelikey | check out your repos. | 08:51 |

| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 08:51 |
| stevecarolinian | will check repos | 08:51 |
| intelikey | stevecarolinian and even though that may have seemed like a "round about" way to get there (i though i already knew why) it was to help you learn how to trouble shoot things like for your self, there is a methood to the madness. | 08:52 |

| emons | hi guyz | 10:37 |
| emons | kopete doesn't get connected | 10:37 |
| emons | any idea why? | 10:37 |
| jajajon | emons can you be more specific? | 10:38 |
| emons | alright | 10:38 |
| emons | i was setting iptables and i block all the input traffic | 10:38 |
| emons | by following the guide | 10:38 |
| emons | that of course doesn't tell you "do not do it now otherwise internet is not goin to work" but it just says "type the following command" | 10:39 |
| flaccid | i think you need to learn networking and firewalls first emons | 10:40 |
| emons | anyway, wasn't modifiyng any configuration files so i just reboot | 10:40 |
| emons | and checked iptables policy again | 10:40 |
| emons | and itz all allowed | 10:40 |
| emons | so why kopete just doesn't get connected? | 10:40 |
| flaccid | !enter | emons | 10:40 |
| ubottu | emons: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:40 |
| jajajon | emons do your other web apps get connected? | 10:41 |
| emons | yes of course | 10:41 |
| flaccid | correct config of iptables is required to allow the right ports etc.. | 10:42 |
| emons | and as i said i checked after i reboot with this command sudo iptables -L if iptables policy was back to its default (and it is) | 10:42 |
| emons | also because otherwise i wouldn't be able to chat here, or to use firefox | 10:43 |
| emons | but kopete doesn't work... anyone can fix that? | 10:43 |
| flaccid | emons: can you please listen - keep your responses on one line! | 10:43 |
| emons | sorry flaccid | 10:43 |
| flaccid | what happens with kopete when you try to connect? | 10:43 |
| emons | it just doesn't "move" usually i have to click on "set status > online" to get it connected which i do but nothing happens | 10:44 |
| flaccid | emons: i've had that before. i just keep trying or restart kopete. you are also welcome to submit a bug. | 10:44 |
| emons | i thought it could be cuz kopete was running when i set iptables policy all traffic denied and then i reboot without closing kopete so i think it probably remained stock in somehow of... i dunno | 10:46 |
| flaccid | doubt it | 10:47 |
| inomine | Hello all. I presume that the package conflicts with the latest KDE4 beta packages is well known? | 10:47 |

| flaccid | could be codecs or encryption or a badly made video | 12:13 |

| emons | the thing is that ive got lots of videos all in .avi format | 12:14 |
| flaccid | avi is generally just a container | 12:15 |
| emons | ill run this i guess sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:15 |
| flaccid | that won't help considering kaffeine is kde. perhaps also install kubuntu-restricted-extras. but the fact is you are getting lines in your video which means the codec is working. so it could be encryption or otherwise. interlacing is also fundamentally an analog thing | 12:16 |

| Haza | Im just running the system update | 14:14 |
| flaccid | cool | 14:15 |
| Haza | flaccid: Yeah it looks like the entire update / install process is a little broken. For example when i tried to run the system update i get the message (half way through installing the updates)... "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. " | 14:16 |
| Haza | Im pretty sure it was when i tried to install the JDK docs | 14:17 |
| Haza | so ive just searched from them in the package manager and remove them just now | 14:17 |
| flaccid | Haza: if you do the update from konsole with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade you should be able to get actual errors to see the problem | 14:19 |

| rune | hi | 15:37 |
| corigo | I need help with partitioning | 15:37 |
| rune | some here expert abt mysql on linux...?? | 15:38 |
| corigo | When doing a clean install I am trying to partition with 6 partitions but after setting up # 4 the partition tool tells me the remainder of the disk is unusable | 15:38 |
| pag | corigo, HD's only allow 4 primary partitions – create an extended partition, and the rest of partitions within it | 15:39 |
| corigo | pag how do I create an extended partion? | 15:40 |
| khaije1 | were there any issues w/ touchpads freaking out after a Hardy install?/ | 15:41 |
| pag | corigo, to be honest I don't remember – iirc it can be set in 'type' for the new partition | 15:41 |
| khaije1 | I think my lappy keyboard needs to be replaced, it's just weird | 15:41 |
| corigo | are boot and root enough for the install? can I create it later? | 15:42 |
| flaccid | !partition | corigo | 15:43 |
| ubottu | corigo: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 15:43 |
| corigo | u | 15:44 |
| corigo | ubottu, so you're saying partition with another tool while booted from the CD then do the install? | 15:44 |
| ubottu | corigo: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:44 |
| pag | corigo, only root is needed for install – personally I'd reccomend root and home, but if you're not performing some kind of special tasks (server etc.) then more partitions than that is pretty useless | 15:44 |
| corigo | yes server | 15:44 |
| flaccid | oh i misread. just use the installer and keep it simple :) | 15:45 |
| rune_ubuntu_NO | need help mysql.. | 15:45 |

| flaccid | rune_ubuntu_NO: #mysql | 15:45 |
| rune_ubuntu_NO | #mysql | 15:46 |
| flaccid | corigo: you don't need em. if you already have 4 primary parts then yeah use qtparted from livecd then install like you said | 15:46 |

| corigo | if it | 15:56 |
| corigo | 's not on the live CD how am I to run it? I can't run it from a disk I am partitioning can I? | 15:56 |
| flaccid | corigo: you open adept manager after booting livecd and enable universe in manage repositories from top menu. then you can install qtparted into the livecd session. then you can run qtparted, do what you need, then you can reboot and do your install with the partition(s) you created | 15:58 |

| jofko | spiel_mit_feuer: eject | 18:10 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | eject? | 18:10 |
| jofko | eject | 18:10 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | whats that do? and how is it used? | 18:10 |
| jofko | eject <device> | 18:11 |
| rickest | PHaLaNX11: how can you be so sure your driver/settings "caused" the problem? | 18:11 |
| PHaLaNX11 | do i need to manually enter vsync and hsync values for my monitor in xorg.conf? | 18:11 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | you must be talking to someone else jofko | 18:11 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | im asking how to completely remove a package including configuration files and such | 18:12 |
| jofko | spiel_mit_feuer: yes i see sorry | 18:12 |
| PHaLaNX11 | rickest: the service told me that it had been used with wrong settings | 18:12 |
| jofko | spiel_mit_feuer: aptitude purge <package> is your command | 18:12 |
| PHaLaNX11 | but i was using the same res/ref values with winxp with no problem for years | 18:13 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | does that work even after somethings been removed with aptitude remove? | 18:14 |
| jofko | spiel_mit_feuer: yes | 18:14 |
| jofko | spiel_mit_feuer: then it will remove only configuration files | 18:14 |
| rickest | PHaLaNX11: I think that's a pretty dubious claim. Do they even know what your settings were? | 18:15 |
| genii | spiel_mit_feuer: Even the --purge option will not remove items within home directories of users. Only old conf files in the main tree of root drive. Items in home directories of users still need manual removing no matter what. | 18:15 |
| PHaLaNX11 | i read something that you need to manually enter the right vsync and hsync values but i thought that it was ok, because the driver had recognised my monitor | 18:15 |
| DarkAudit | aha! gnome-eject will eject my ipod as a regular user. Plain eject or kdeeject requires sudo. What's up with this? | 18:15 |
| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| rickest | PHaLaNX11: yes, generally those 'vsync' 'hsync' settings are ancient. most common drivers just do the right thing. you weren't running some crazy 110MHz refresh rate or anything, right? | 18:16 |
| PHaLaNX11 | no, the refresh rate was correct | 18:16 |
| PHaLaNX11 | it was 85Hz as usual | 18:17 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | im thinking of going with compiz fusion or emerald over KDEs window manager | 18:17 |
| rickest | PHaLaNX11: I'm not an expert but that hardly seems possible to me. you might try #hardware | 18:17 |
| moshe | hi, anyone knows a reason for this bug? http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg542065.html | 18:18 |
| PHaLaNX11 | ok rickest thanks i will | 18:18 |
| rickest | PHaLaNX11: burning out your monitor is still possible for very lazy definitions of 'possible'. Beyond that, burning up your monitor with bad xorg.conf settings is about 15 years old | 18:18 |
| PHaLaNX11 | rickest: i searched the net to see if anyone experienced something like this, but didn't find any. so it shouldn't be so common, right. | 18:22 |
| rickest | PHaLaNX11: it's extremely uncommon. it was an edge-case years ago, I'm not even sure it's possible anymore. monitors that blow up and burns down houses would create some pretty bad press | 18:31 |
| bad_ | hi | 18:31 |
| PHaLaNX11 | yeah you're right | 18:34 |
| PHaLaNX11 | thanks anyway | 18:34 |

| bibstha | ahmed: my root is around 6GB | 19:37 |
| bibstha | and /home depends upon how much u store in it | 19:38 |

| bibstha | ahmed: humm thats not much, u can't get extra GB's for home? :D | 19:39 |

| ahmed | bibstha: how much u think? | 19:40 |
| bibstha | /home has the configs stored in it so probably atleast 1GB is necessary to store documents and pictures | 19:40 |

| justs0me | why isnt kunbuntu support as long as unbuntu / | 19:57 |
| genii | justs0me: It has mainly to do with the kde versions currently available | 19:57 |
| incorrect | something is very very broken with my poor laptop | 19:57 |

| justs0me | when should kde4.1 be out / | 20:03 |

| incorrect | well people here often say how good the development branch is right now | 20:04 |
| incorrect | i think its about 3 months | 20:04 |

| incorrect | trappist: zimbra.org probably | 20:09 |
| justs0me | would unbuntu be considered stable? | 20:09 |
| trappist | I don't think there's such a thing as kubuntu server | 20:09 |
| justs0me | never cared for the debian based systems | 20:09 |
| justs0me | thus far | 20:09 |
| incorrect | justs0me: depends what you mean by stable | 20:09 |
| Nyad | what's the difference between ubuntu server and desktop ? | 20:09 |
| incorrect | i would not use an rpm based system | 20:09 |
| genii | justs0me: When you have both gnome and kde, the menus can get confusing. Also you can't run gnome GUI apps from inside Konsole or KDE apps from within gnome-terminal. Otherwise no real downside. | 20:10 |

| _dennister | trappist: long time no see | 20:12 |
| incorrect | justs0me: centos, redhat, suse | 20:12 |
| genii | Nyad: Desktop has ..er.. a desktop (graphical interface). server comes only with command-line interface. Server version has Apache Mysql PHP preconfigured. Regular desktop does not. Server version can address more than 3.2Gb RAM. Regular i386 desktop cannot. Server version has been tweaked for multiuser. | 20:12 |
| rickest | Nyad: the only difference between ALL the *buntus is what they install the first time by default | 20:12 |
| justs0me | incorrect: updated through the terminal ? | 20:12 |
| incorrect | ssh | 20:12 |
| incorrect | screen and ssh | 20:12 |

| incorrect | did it remotely | 20:12 |
| justs0me | nice | 20:13 |

| justs0me | yeah, im still running fc6 fine on a ollldddd laptop never any problems but slow | 20:13 |
| genii | _dennister: Great :) I figured it was something hardware | 20:13 |
| _dennister | yep...luckily i had another compaq model identical to this one | 20:14 |
| incorrect | justs0me: if you want a desktop OS then here is my advise, install the standard distro, install the apps you need, then leave it alone | 20:14 |

| blajumper | I have no idea how I should be able to notice that secret key, I always played with the public one but never had the need to put on my fingers on the secret thing | 20:26 |
| trappist | blajumper: not sure, look at the timestamp and see if it corresponds with when you generated your key | 20:26 |
| blajumper | trappist can't remember that :) | 20:26 |
| blajumper | btw how can I find out the timestamp on console? | 20:26 |
| blajumper | ah stat probably... /me tests | 20:26 |
| trappist | blajumper: ls -l | 20:27 |
| blajumper | I have installed KGPG the same day I generated the key trappist | 20:27 |
| blajumper | so it could also be some config file | 20:27 |
| blajumper | the timestamp doesn't really give me any evidence here :/ | 20:27 |
| trappist | blajumper: the "file" util says it's a "PHP key security ring" - I think that's it | 20:27 |
| trappist | *PGP | 20:27 |
| blajumper | trappist secring.gpg sounds pretty much like it would be a pgp security ring =P | 20:28 |
| ahmos | where i can find lm_sensors configuration file | 20:28 |
| blajumper | yep file util says that aswell | 20:28 |
| === tictric is now known as ticoff | ||
| blajumper | so trappist can I be more or less sure that secring.gpg and pubring.gpg are my keys? | 20:29 |
| blajumper | and I won't need any other files? | 20:29 |
| dorian_ | ye it worked! | 20:29 |
| dorian_ | mdbtools man | 20:29 |
| blajumper | because there's also some pubring.kbx file | 20:29 |
| trappist | blajumper: I'm 63% sure the first statement is correct, and 100% sure the second statement is wrong | 20:29 |
| trappist | blajumper: one or more of the other files will have info like which keys are trusted | 20:30 |
| trappist | other people's keys, etc. | 20:30 |
| blajumper | ah | 20:30 |
| blajumper | that's not important | 20:30 |
| blajumper | I only want my own key | 20:30 |
| blajumper | I don't care about those trust settings of gpg... I can easily tell gpg that again | 20:31 |
| trappist | blajumper: well if nobody in here knows more than I do about gpg, you're in the wrong channel :) you might try #gpg or #gnupg | 20:32 |
| trappist | or maybe the docs, or google | 20:32 |
| trappist | you know, as a last resort ;) | 20:33 |

| dennister | genii: ? u got any ideas? | 21:12 |

| dedi_ | someone knows how to create a working ubuntu-modules for a custom kernel? (wiki dont work) | 21:20 |
| genii | dedi_: Normally you do something like: sudo make modules in the same dir you did the make for the kernel | 21:21 |
| genii | dedi_: Then something like: sudo make modules install which should take a while. Then you need update of module lists with: sudo depmod -a | 21:23 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas | 21:24 |
| dennister | BluesKaj: hi there :) | 21:27 |
| BluesKaj | hi dennister , hows things ? | 21:27 |
| dennister | genii: just changing the entries in sources.list to the american ones doesn't help me when things have already been downloaded, badly, and won't install | 21:28 |

| === root is now known as Guest26909 | ||
| dennister | how do I change the locale in console? | 21:29 |
| genii | dennister: locales does not mean the location of the repository you are using. locale means what language and location your computer wants to use normally. Like Canada and British English for instance | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | dennister: I got fed up and reveryted Gutsy, but it only solved half my probs :) | 21:29 |
| === paolo is now known as paoligno | ||
| genii | dennister: There have been a lot of problems for people installing when the default locale is not US and US English | 21:30 |

| paoligno | hi. i want to buy this notebook: SONY SZ71E/B T7250 2GB 160GB DL 13.3" VHP . how can i know if it's fully compatible with kubuntu? | 21:31 |
| dennister | BluesKaj: i did that for awhile, too, and found out a gutsy install, then version upgrade, *usually* works better for me than a clean install | 21:31 |
| dennister | but not this time :( | 21:32 |
| genii | dennister: Make sure package console-setup is in. Then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 21:32 |
| dennister | genii: sudo dpkg --reconfigure console-setup...is that what you mean to type? | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | dennister: my last upgrade was an internet one and it went fine , but I got "nailed" by a kernel upgrade about a week ago ...totally screwed X and samba | 21:33 |
| Githzerai | BluesKaj: there's been another kernel update today.... :) | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | Githzerai: I've got adept notifier turned off :) | 21:34 |
| dedi_ | genii: ah ok, seems to do something :) | 21:35 |
| genii | dennister: No, I meant to type dpkg-reconfigure, which is what I did type :) | 21:35 |
| Githzerai | BluesKaj: I was just wondering if you would fall twice :D ;) | 21:35 |
| dennister | ok doke...will i get an option to change the locale if i do that? | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | heh, Githzerai , took me twice to realize that kernel upgrades may not be my friend :) | 21:36 |
| genii | dennister: It will run you through a series of questions on how to configure the console. And then the system installer later looks at this for a hint of where you are when it tries to decide what sort of setup to go with | 21:37 |
| dennister | genii: thx | 21:37 |
| BluesKaj | hey genii , how goes it ? | 21:38 |
| dennister | genii: ok tried it, and was told console-setup was broken or not installed yet... | 21:40 |
| dennister | can't do the dpkg --configure console-setup because of depenedency issues, and doiing dpkg --configure -a will start the locales generation again, right away, and then hang | 21:41 |

| justs0me | rickest: oh | 22:08 |
| justs0me | force: u have dv9000t series? | 22:09 |
| rickest | justs0me: for example, if apache used to use /etc/apache and the latest version uses /etc/apache2, nothing will ever get rid of /etc/apache unless you do it manually. but there's really not much of that | 22:09 |
| force | justs0me: yes Pavilion dv2000 | 22:09 |
| justs0me | rickest: oh | 22:10 |
| justs0me | force: does the machine ever lock up ? | 22:10 |

| vertic23_ | magic jack voip? | 23:33 |
| vertic23_ | what's that? | 23:33 |
| mefistofele | yeah... I wonder if sata is even supported at all | 23:33 |
| vertic23_ | don't think so ^^ | 23:33 |
| pc_ | It is a box that plugs into the usb port and allows me to make phone calls but it need windows to do this | 23:34 |
| vertic23_ | how about ebay? ^^ | 23:34 |
| vertic23_ | and why win98 anyways?! | 23:34 |
| vertic23_ | win2k is a 1000 times better idea | 23:34 |
| jereme | sata in 98? | 23:35 |
| jereme | there is no sata in 98 | 23:35 |
| jereme | there's just no way | 23:35 |
| force | mefistofele: i will try again with wlan but i should disconnectd from lan to see again. Thanks | 23:35 |
| vertic23_ | ...we can be happy that USB works :P somehow | 23:35 |
| jereme | ata, yes, sata, nohaps | 23:35 |
| pc_ | Right now I have Kubuntu it the amd 64bit gateway... And I have win 98SE on disk from the old days | 23:35 |
| jereme | USB works'ish | 23:35 |
| mefistofele | pc_: you could also run windows via a virtual machine for your phone | 23:35 |
| jereme | back in '98 we still called it "plug-n-pray" | 23:35 |
| vertic23_ | lmao - that's what I meant | 23:35 |
| pc_ | yes Jeremy your right | 23:36 |
| vertic23_ | hehe, didn't know that one | 23:36 |
| vertic23_ | will write it onto my wall | 23:36 |
| pc_ | is virtual machine linus based? | 23:36 |
| jereme | hehe | 23:36 |
| vertic23_ | linus torvald? | 23:36 |
| jereme | pc_, a virtual machine can be linux based | 23:36 |
| vertic23_ | pc_: try it... | 23:36 |
| mefistofele | pc_: yea, you could use qemu or ... what the hell is the name of that really popular one | 23:36 |
| jereme | pc_: for example, Sun's free VirtualBox product runs on Linux, Windows and OS X (possibly more to...) | 23:36 |
| vertic23_ | can USB devices be passed through? | 23:37 |
| jereme | as does vmware | 23:37 |
| vertic23_ | jereme: | 23:37 |
| kwuch | hello, rename of files is impossible, after a migration from gnome to kde. ä ö ü are replaced by ? . How can i fix this? | 23:37 |
| jereme | you're more likely to have usb success if you install kubuntu and run 98 in a VM than the other way around | 23:37 |
| vertic23_ | yes, jereme - that was my question | 23:37 |
| jereme | I'm willing to bet that virtualbox, vwmare and pals won't run on 98 | 23:37 |
| vertic23_ | I will do that soon - with "linux" + "windows" | 23:37 |
| jereme | so running a win98 VM within linux is the better option | 23:37 |
| vertic23_ | of course that way... | 23:38 |
| vertic23_ | win98 as main os would be... hehe | 23:38 |
| jereme | plus it keeps the yucky winders contained | 23:38 |
| vertic23_ | win98 as main OS was cool when win95 was "in" | 23:38 |
| pc_ | I prefer running 98 within Kubuntu | 23:38 |
| vertic23_ | of course you do ;) | 23:39 |
| pc_ | So do you think I can do this? | 23:39 |
| vertic23_ | worth a try! | 23:39 |
| vertic23_ | chances are not bad | 23:39 |
| jereme | pc_: I think the only think that might go wrong is it might be a little sluggish | 23:39 |
| pc_ | Is vmware free? | 23:39 |
| jereme | vmware is free, and so is virtualbox | 23:39 |
| vertic23_ | I don't like virtualbox because it's java | 23:40 |
| jereme | classist | 23:40 |
| pc_ | so the better is vmware? | 23:40 |
| jereme | </programming joke> | 23:40 |
| vertic23_ | hehe | 23:40 |
| === root is now known as Guest92931 | ||
| vertic23_ | I was always good with vmware - I like it... | 23:40 |
| jereme | pc_: vmware has been in the game a long time | 23:40 |
| vertic23_ | my first try with virtualbox was not so ....lucky | 23:41 |
| jereme | I've had great luck with virtualbox | 23:41 |
| pc_ | Can I get it through synaptic? | 23:41 |
| jereme | but it's hard to argue with vmware being the best free option | 23:41 |
| vertic23_ | well - you're a smart programmer ;) | 23:41 |
| jereme | there are no vmware packages... just download it from their site | 23:41 |
| jereme | navigating to the free version can be somewhat tricky | 23:41 |
| jereme | let me find it | 23:41 |
| jereme | damn they moved it again | 23:42 |
| jereme | this might take a second | 23:42 |
| pc_ | ok take your time | 23:42 |
| vertic23_ | hehe, like always... I love all those download sites - especially linux programs ...NO - not ONE download (the popular one which everybody wants) is just on top - no you can choose between CSV / beta, unstable - and in between is the one everybody wants :P | 23:43 |
| jereme | http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ | 23:43 |
| jereme | well in the case of vmware, you choose from the 50 different enterprise version that cost money | 23:43 |
| jereme | and the tiny free version hidden somewhere within | 23:43 |
| jereme | it's like playing "Where's Waldo" | 23:43 |
| vertic23_ | yeah - I forgot the commercial sites ;) | 23:44 |
| vertic23_ | hehe, love him ^^ | 23:44 |
| vertic23_ | still got three books here | 23:44 |
| vertic23_ | ;P | 23:44 |
| jereme | where's the vmware server console now on their site? | 23:45 |
| gvv | #kubuntu-es | 23:45 |
| jereme | they should make their site harder to browse | 23:46 |
| jereme | then I could just poke myself in the eye instead of looking for their products | 23:46 |
| pc_ | thanks Jeremy! Will it be difficult to do? | 23:46 |
| jereme | poking me in the eye? no it's easy | 23:47 |
| jereme | just stick out your finger | 23:47 |
| jereme | as for vmware, the hardest part is installing it | 23:47 |
| jereme | it's easy after that | 23:47 |
| pc_ | thanks jereme | 23:47 |
| jereme | you'll want the "VMWare Server for Linux" Binary (.tar.gz) and "VMWare Server Linux client package" which contains vmware-server-console which is how you connect to vmware server | 23:48 |
| jereme | ah crap, I've got a bug to fix over here, bbiab | 23:48 |
