| _CrashMaster_ | Yeah yeah, but how do I START it? | 00:38 |
| [pyro] | lol | 00:39 |
| [pyro] | did you check init scripts? | 00:39 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Biggest pain in the ass I have with Linux is how to FIND and START a program I installed. | 00:39 |
| cpk1 | what about "zoneminder"? | 00:39 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Command Not Found. I've tried the obvious stff :P | 00:39 |
| [pyro] | cd /etc/init.d/ and have a look in ther? | 00:40 |
| [pyro] | there* | 00:40 |
| [pyro] | not sure if it runs as a daemon or not.. | 00:40 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Its got a listing. In green, whatever that signifies. | 00:40 |

| [pyro] | from that dir | 00:41 |
| daemon3 | I must part, my dear friends! | 00:41 |
| _CrashMaster_ | of COURSE it wants to throw errors. I havent configured it yet. I downloaded something called MythZoneMinder (allegedly a front end) and I cant bloody find THAT one either! :P | 00:42 |
| [pyro] | did you install these as deb packages? | 00:42 |
| _CrashMaster_ | got em from adept | 00:43 |
| [pyro] | ok, you can type #dpkg -L <packagename> and that will list all files owned by said package | 00:44 |
| [pyro] | you will see what it has installed where | 00:44 |
| [pyro] | the other thing you can do is go into Adept Manager and navigate to said package and check the details of it, you will see there what files it has installed too. | 00:44 |
| [pyro] | i suggest the first thing you check are the documentation files for each package, as that will give you more info on how to get it all up and running. | 00:45 |

| dilipgarg | Just now I was chatting in a Java based chat room and the someone pops up asking the weather about my city! | 01:09 |
| Githzerai | dilipgarg: google for anonymous proxy | 01:10 |
| dilipgarg | Gith: Do you mean simple http proxy setup in firefox? | 01:11 |
| greeg | can someone check out my web server to verify if it's reachable ? http://24.115.113.177/stuff | 01:12 |
| === steven_ is now known as walkboss | ||

| dilipgarg | urw | 01:13 |
| greeg | ? | 01:14 |
| dilipgarg | Githzerai: If you mean http proxy setup in firefox, that doesnt let me enter into Java based chat rooms | 01:14 |
| walkboss | Can someone give me a hand getting the resolution correct on my second monitor? | 01:14 |
| dilipgarg | greeg: you are welcome | 01:14 |
| greeg | ahh | 01:15 |
| Githzerai | dilipgarg: why not use regular chat then ? ;) | 01:16 |
| dilipgarg | Gith: I just asked about the proxy server features. Do you if it can conceal my IP address? | 01:17 |
| dilipgarg | Do you know^ | 01:17 |
| dilipgarg | probably you dont! | 01:18 |
| Githzerai | dilipgarg: It is a point of anonymous proxy | 01:19 |
| dilipgarg | Gith: That much i knew without googling anything. I am obviously looking for some informartion about setting it up | 01:20 |
| dilipgarg | anyways. I'll try to find my way | 01:20 |
| dilipgarg | Githzerai: a word of advice though, don't try to joke/sell about anything that the other person isnt looking for! | 01:21 |
| Githzerai | dilipgarg: You're tying to hide your IP adress. I say use anonymous proxy. Weather u will listen or not, it's up to you. | 01:22 |

| Guest31577 | Hello. What should change in the menu.lst to make the windows xp the default? Cause i've just installed the kubuntu 8.04 for a newbie user. | 01:38 |
| lesergi | I just upgraded my hardy to intrepid, but I can't set KDE4 in my language | 01:39 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | heh.. kde4.. headache | 01:39 |
| lesergi | I installed language-pack-kde-es and kde-l10n-es and I set it in systemsettings, but nothing.. | 01:39 |
| Walkboss | #kubuntu-kde4 | 01:39 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | 582mb is all kde4 takes up? | 01:39 |
| Githzerai | Walkboss: in syssettings, first u need to setup seceond monitor just the same as fist one.... chose model type etc... | 01:39 |
| lesergi | oks | 01:39 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | seems like it would suck more HDD than that | 01:39 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | any idea how much an ubuntu command-line install takes up? | 01:40 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | hmm | 01:41 |
| cadoo | spiel_mit_feuer: i think ubuntu server is ~300 | 01:41 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | full kde4.. and ubuntu command-line is only 1gb total | 01:41 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | thats not much at all | 01:41 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | vista is 15gb alone | 01:41 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | however.. i think i will have to leave you guys soon | 01:42 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | hey | 01:42 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | if you dont know what youre doing and being stuck with kde4.. why are you going with an unstable testing distro? | 01:43 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | kde is starting to feel a bit too much like windows for me | 01:44 |
| * dr_Willis has never seen much logic to such statements. | 01:45 | |
| spiel_mit_feuer | probably because i set it up to look pretty similar | 01:45 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | my fault though | 01:45 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | whats that thing i see like a taskbar on top of some desktops.. but holds a list of application icons? | 01:46 |
| deans | HI | 01:47 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | he.. brb | 01:48 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | some of my mesochistic tendencies are taking control.. and i just installed kde4 because im in the mood to torture myself | 01:48 |

| fulat2k | hi folks, any idea why i can't change cpu frequency policy via kpowersave? i've always been able to do so. did some update break it? | 02:45 |
| Konda | so it's either dynamic powersave or performance now, right? | 02:46 |
| Konda | my screen just went bright all the way | 02:46 |
| eagles051387 | has anyone tried the new upgrade method cdless upgrade using internet | 02:47 |
| fulat2k | Konda: you mean the Active Scheme? | 02:47 |
| Githzerai | eagles051387: What exactly do you mean? Like apt-get dist-upgrade or ? | 02:48 |
| eagles051387 | no | 02:48 |
| BluesKaj | eagles051387, yes but only for the the official release , not for any alphas or beta RCs | 02:48 |
| eagles051387 | upgrade from gutsy to hardy | 02:48 |
| Konda | well they're just the options in the power manager | 02:48 |
| eagles051387 | im doing it right now using my net connection im just wondering what the new method is like if there have been any issues | 02:48 |
| BluesKaj | worked fine for my upgrade ...at first | 02:49 |
| Githzerai | eagles051387: that's it : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ;) I used it all the way from dapper ;) | 02:49 |
| fulat2k | Konda: under which section? CPU Frequency Policy? | 02:49 |
| peterjordan1977 | is that any different then apt-get upgrade? | 02:49 |
| eagles051387 | the new method involves a new upgrade tool that automatically checks for new pkgs upgradeable ones and ones that need to be removed | 02:49 |
| Konda | yes, CPU frequency scaling policy | 02:50 |
| eagles051387 | when i used to upgrade by updating the sources list i used to break my entire installation | 02:50 |
| Githzerai | peterjordan1977: Yes, upgrades whole distro | 02:50 |

| hibread | hey guys! Im extremely new to the [k]ubuntu world (Gentoo before). Im having issues with installing nvidia drivers. KdeMenu -> System -> Hardware Drivers Manager seems to contain nothing. I have the GTX 280 if maybe thats a problem? | 03:00 |
| Konda | hmmm.... gtx 280 | 03:01 |
| Konda | chris curtis where are you | 03:01 |
| hibread | System Settings -> Monitor & Display -> Hardware doesn't seem to have anything post Geforce 8 | 03:02 |
| peterjordan1977 | apt-get update apt-get upgtade then try again ? with hardware driver manager | 03:02 |
| peterjordan1977 | or if you have the update icon by the clock then run the updates from there | 03:03 |
| mr---t- | hibread: that is for proprietary drivers or what was called restricted drivers in ubuntu | 03:03 |
| hibread | Im a little confused about where im supposed to install from.. im used to having 'nvidia-settings' control all my hardware settings (multi monitor resolutions etc) | 03:03 |
| Konda | upgtade? ah that's specifically for GT family I take it | 03:03 |
| peterjordan1977 | ok typo | 03:03 |
| dr_Willis | hibread, you can install the 'nvidia-settings' tool if you wish to use it. (i normally do) | 03:03 |
| Konda | oh ok | 03:03 |
| hibread | dr_Willis: thats a manual install? | 03:04 |

| hibread | peterjordan1977: was that message up further directed at me? | 03:05 |
| hibread | dr_Willis: cheers ill check it out. Do i need to do anything to force nvidia-settings to override any kde/kubuntu graphics setup (resolutions etc) | 03:05 |
| dr_Willis | nvidia-settings configures the xorg.conf file. about all i ever have to do is isntall the proper nvidia drivers, and tweak with nvidia-settings | 03:06 |
| hibread | ubottu: yep i checked that out and all it says is "Go to KMenu->System->Hardware Drivers Manager and check the box to enable the restricted drivers for your nVidia card if the option is provided." | 03:07 |
| ubottu | hibread: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:07 |
| peterjordan1977 | yes sorry i shouldnt but in | 03:07 |

| peterjordan1977 | just in my experience | 03:07 |
| mr---t- | sorry :-) | 03:07 |

| peterjordan1977 | im tired | 03:08 |
| peterjordan1977 | and i installed nvidia-settings to tweek | 03:09 |
| hibread | peterjordan1977: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ? | 03:09 |
| peterjordan1977 | yep | 03:09 |
| peterjordan1977 | sudo apt-get update | 03:09 |
| dr_Willis | Hmm.. ANyone noticed when burning a cd/dvd with k3b. using the Verify data option, that k3b ejects the cd/dvd? ya got to push the tray back in, to get it to actually start verifying? | 03:09 |
| peterjordan1977 | then sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:09 |

| mr---t- | dr_Willis: no mine worked fine | 03:10 |

| mr---t- | !root | hibread | 03:12 |
| ubottu | hibread: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:12 |
| Kroooks | I have a 1TB external harddrive I put together. I don't know what filesystem should I use. Using a journaled system will waste a lot of reserved space and I don't know if thats worth it. I have narrowed down my choices to Fat32, NTFS, or ext3. Anyone has any advise ? | 03:12 |
| peterjordan1977 | no | 03:12 |
| peterjordan1977 | just the new driver | 03:12 |
| hibread | ok good | 03:13 |
| dr_Willis | waste a lot of reserved space? if its reserved.. isent it allready gone? :) | 03:13 |
| hibread | thanks for ay help guys.. ill see how i go! | 03:13 |
| dr_Willis | I imagine the best Filesystem would depend on the job the drive is doing. and the main OS thats accessing it. | 03:13 |
| Konda | well ext3 is journaled, is it not? | 03:13 |
| peterjordan1977 | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto (hibread) thats a good [;ase if alls not good | 03:14 |

| peterjordan1977 | ahhh | 03:14 |
| peterjordan1977 | darn | 03:14 |
| eagles051387 | lol | 03:14 |

| eagles051387 | i think alot of linux file formats are journaled | 03:14 |
| eagles051387 | the journal is only 512bytes or kb | 03:14 |
| dr_Willis | there is 'reserved' space. and theres the 'journel' also... | 03:15 |
| peterjordan1977 | i use ext3 it seems to work fine | 03:15 |
| mr---t- | terabyte is alot of space | 03:15 |
| Konda | ext2 is not journaled, I believe | 03:15 |
| Kroooks | dr_Willis: I mean it reserves a part of the hard disk for the journal, thus less space for other stuffs. | 03:15 |
| peterjordan1977 | how much does it reserve? | 03:15 |
| Kroooks | peterjordan1977: Cause my 500gb harddisk formated with ext3 became like 430gb | 03:16 |
| dr_Willis | You can set the reserved space % also | 03:16 |
| Kroooks | ext3 also reserce 5% for root user | 03:17 |
| dr_Willis | that 5% is customizeable. | 03:17 |
| peterjordan1977 | hmmm not sure | 03:17 |
| dr_Willis | you could set it to 0% if you wanted. | 03:17 |
| Kroooks | dr_Willis: you sure of this ? | 03:18 |
| peterjordan1977 | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto (hibread) thats the best info | 03:18 |
| dr_Willis | Kroooks, tune2fs --help | 03:18 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 03:18 |
| Kroooks | cool! | 03:18 |
| peterjordan1977 | oh god it never ends | 03:18 |
| dr_Willis | [-m reserved_blocks_percen | 03:18 |
| peterjordan1977 | lol | 03:18 |
| peterjordan1977 | love kubuntu tho | 03:18 |
| dr_Willis | Note that the % does not actually change - i think. till the fileystem gets remounted. | 03:19 |
| hibread | peterjordan1977: it hardly says i thing there! :) | 03:19 |
| peterjordan1977 | ok | 03:19 |

| dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install firefox | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | is giving some errors? | 03:28 |
| alucard_temp | no that installs firefox 2 | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | Hmmm | 03:28 |

| Jucato | maybe pre-hardy | 03:29 |
| alucard_temp | when i did sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 it said that it installed but i cant use it | 03:29 |
| dr_Willis | Yep.. gotta love playing 20 questions to get to the actual question/problem... | 03:29 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 03:29 |
| alucard_temp | ill try it again mabey i will get different results | 03:30 |
| intelikey | anyone know a command to activate the "gnome menu" ? i would ask in #ubuntu but i'm banned from that channel. | 03:31 |
| dr_Willis | oh.. I recall an issue if you installed firefox2/3 when you had firefox3/2 running... :) at least during beta. its like the 'firefox' command ran the wrong one till you rebooted/loggedout.. | 03:31 |
| Jucato | intelikey: try Alt+F1? not sure if that works in Gnome as will | 03:32 |
| Jucato | s/will/well/ | 03:32 |
| alucard_temp | ill try rebooting | 03:32 |
| intelikey | Jucato that's it, thanks. | 03:33 |
| intelikey | hmmm Jucato hmm doesn't work if gnome-panel is not running. | 03:36 |
| Jucato | intelikey: of course :) | 03:36 |
| intelikey | ? | 03:36 |
| Jucato | the menu is part of gnome-panel | 03:37 |
| === jonathan_ is now known as gremln007 | ||
| intelikey | any alternative ? | 03:37 |
| Jucato | autohide the panel? | 03:37 |
| intelikey | doesn't work with an empty panel | 03:37 |
| intelikey | can't move or hide it. | 03:37 |
| intelikey | i guess i could put something on it and hide it. i would rather just remove it tho | 03:38 |
| * dr_Willis knows better then to even ask what this gnome haxoring song and dance is about. :P | 03:40 | |
| dr_Willis | Back to tweaking jwm and rox.... :) | 03:41 |
| intelikey | oh just trying to configure/customize the gnome session on one lappy. if i'm going to show several different DE's i want them to all have their own unique approach dr_Willis :) | 03:42 |
| dr_Willis | customize it by removing the heart of it. :) | 03:42 |
| epimeth | !kde4 | 03:42 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 03:42 |
| dr_Willis | Be sure to toss on Matchbox! and Jwm + rox | 03:43 |
| * intelikey thought metacity was the heart of gnome | 03:43 | |
| dr_Willis | if you install the openbox package, it will add in 'gnome/openbox' and 'kde/openbox' to the sessions menu. i noticed the other day | 03:43 |
| dr_Willis | Which is sort of nice.. if you like openbox.. but it does sort of clutter things. | 03:43 |
| intelikey | opetions != clutter | 03:44 |
| intelikey | redundancy of options now that might constitute clutter | 03:44 |
| dr_Willis | so what if every window manager added 3 entries to the sessions menu... | 03:44 |
| dr_Willis | silly jwm dosent even add a entry to the sessions.. so it goes the other extreme. | 03:45 |
| dr_Willis | last i tried 'matchbox' its entry to the sessions menu dident work. :) it ran the window manager,, and that was it.. so you had no way to run a terminal, or doing anything. | 03:46 |
| dr_Willis | I wonder iof thats been fixed. | 03:46 |
| dr_Willis | brb. :) testing out some other desktops. (Look what you started now!) | 03:47 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | how can I fix the icons on my start menu in kde 4 | 03:48 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | they all show up with a ? on them | 03:49 |

| dr_Willis | :P | 03:51 |
| intelikey | dr_Willis you use ssh a lot as i recall. do you set a special prompt for ssh sessions ? i have added this line to all my .bash_bashrc files. | 03:51 |
| intelikey | [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ] && export PS1='\[\033[01;37m\]\l [\u@\h:\w]\[\033[00m\] ' || export PS1='\l [\u@\h.\w] | 03:51 |
| junior | helllo | 03:52 |
| dr_Willis | I normally just ssh from one local box to another. Nothing real fancy. | 03:52 |
| intelikey | actually. the colour is different on different boxen | 03:53 |
| junior | ssh? how to user? | 03:53 |
| dr_Willis | willis@mint:~/bin(34.995 Mb)$ <--- My standard prompt. :) | 03:53 |
| junior | i don speak english | 03:53 |
| Jucato | !br | junior | 03:53 |
| ubottu | junior: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 03:53 |
| dr_Willis | it auto ads up the file sizes in the current dir. which is handy at times | 03:53 |
| intelikey | dr_Willis i got tired of working on things on the wrong local box tho ;/ | 03:54 |
| dr_Willis | I wonder if theres a way to get the konsole tabs to auto rename if one sshs to another box. | 03:54 |
| MacAnthony | is kde-apps.org down? | 03:54 |
| intelikey | dr_Willis i'm sure there is. | 03:54 |
| Jucato | MacAnthony: looks like it | 03:55 |
| kg | MacAnthony: so is kde-look.org | 03:55 |
| Jucato | kg: naturally :) | 03:55 |
| MacAnthony | k, thanks | 03:55 |
| dr_Willis | I know one can set Xterm titles and stuff with prompt/escape commands. :) | 03:55 |
| MacAnthony | just wanted to make sure it wasn't my network | 03:55 |
| junior | the book is on the table | 03:55 |
| dr_Willis | My whole internet seems laggy tonight | 03:55 |
| Jucato | *gasp* the internet must be broken!! file a bug report! | 03:55 |
| intelikey | i've got a full pipe atm | 03:56 |
| MacAnthony | it can be a problem when you are looking for a file, Jucato | 03:56 |
| Jucato | MacAnthony: kde-apps? try to see if a Google cache for the exact page exists | 03:56 |
| intelikey | Jucato :))) did you crash the internet ? | 03:56 |
| dr_Willis | I hate it when these kids crash my internets! | 03:56 |
| Jucato | intelikey: nope. somebody beat me to it... | 03:56 |
| MacAnthony | too much porn and internet gambling plugging the intertubes tonight | 03:57 |

| intelikey | :) | 04:01 |
| intelikey | dr_Willis no fair posting links with & in them. you know that will fork console | 04:01 |
| intelikey | and yes i know to quote them... just didn't catch that one in time. | 04:02 |
| dr_Willis | never noticed that problem here. | 04:02 |
| roberto | Hi, I just installed Kubuntu 8.04 with Kde 4.0. My resolution peaks out at 800x600. I know with the previous version of Kubuntu, I had to specify my monitor. It's an Optiquest Q70. It doesn't pick it out properly. How do I change my monitor type in Kde 4 | 04:04 |
| dr_Willis | Night all. | 04:05 |
| intelikey | Jucato that one is on topic. and down your ally | 04:05 |
| intelikey | ey | 04:05 |
| * mr---t- wonders if third person comments count as off topic | 04:06 | |
| MacAnthony | Jucato: that was a good idea about google cache, unfortunately the link from the cached page doesn't lead to a cached page and the search results don't list the file download url | 04:06 |
| MacAnthony | so, close but no cigar | 04:06 |
| Jucato | roberto: #kubuntu-kde4 please | 04:07 |
| Jucato | MacAnthony: oh.. too bad :( | 04:07 |
| roberto | ok, I'll go to Kde Kubuntu, take care and thanks | 04:08 |
| eagles0513875 | under identities how do i set it up to auto log my name in on here | 04:08 |
| MacAnthony | eagles0513875: I think you just put in the nickserv (if it's not there) and your nick password | 04:13 |
| MacAnthony | Mine works, but I don't recall the specific steps I took | 04:14 |
| intelikey | jonathan you first need to register with nickserv (if you havent) and then you set it to message nickserv when you logon | 04:14 |
| intelikey | eagles0513875 very good. | 04:18 |

| dilipgarg | I am going to setup Squid on my hardy heron distro. Can i install Squid (as a server) and use for the same computer as a client also? Or do I need a dedicated system for Squid? | 04:21 |
| dilipgarg | I'll be using squid just for my home use and perhaps two users | 04:22 |
| === alucardr2mero is now known as alucardromero | ||
| intelikey | you know. squid is one server i have never played with... | 04:23 |
| dilipgarg | what proxy server do you use then | 04:24 |
| intelikey | i don't | 04:24 |
| intelikey | unless you are using the word proxy to refer to a gateway | 04:24 |
| dilipgarg | uh oh. well, i have seen what happens when you chat on java based chat rooms with none of these anonymous proxy settings.. people just get all the details about your ip address, location.. and what not | 04:25 |
| dilipgarg | so i am seriously considering methods to sort of anonymize myself during browing online | 04:26 |
| intelikey | dilipgarg tor ? | 04:26 |
| intelikey | !tor | 04:26 |
| ubottu | TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 04:26 |
| dilipgarg | looks good. i am reading its FAQ | 04:28 |
| Pici | !cloak | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 04:28 |
| dilipgarg | Pici, intelikey: Does that mean looking for cloaks is a better option? though I dont use IRC channels at all apart from the kubuntu chat.. | 04:31 |
| Pici | dilipgarg: Well the cloak is only valid on freenode, so its up to you. | 04:31 |
| dilipgarg | freenode.. pls explain | 04:31 |
| intelikey | dilipgarg probably not for "when you chat on java based chat rooms" <<< irc is not generally java based. | 04:31 |
| Pici | !freenode | 04:32 |
| ubottu | freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml | 04:32 |
| Pici | Anyway, I'm supposed to be asleep | 04:32 |
| intelikey | Pici go to sleep. | 04:32 |
| dilipgarg | ah.. then its entirely not helpful to me :) | 04:32 |
| Pici | ;) | 04:32 |
| intelikey | :) | 04:32 |
| dilipgarg | good night Pici | 04:32 |
| dilipgarg | intelikey: tor still works for anonymizing my internet traffic.. right | 04:33 |
| intelikey | right | 04:34 |
| dilipgarg | lovely. | 04:34 |
| intelikey | dilipgarg what he was pointing out is that some irc servers ban it all togather, while some allow it but specific channels in the system may ban it's use. so it's not the best aproach for irc in most cases. however you were not asking about irc in particular so i sujested tor. | 04:35 |
| === robert__ is now known as Guest62255 | ||

| dilipgarg | yes, I got that intelikey :) | 04:36 |
| Nigel | hi goodnight | 04:36 |
| dilipgarg | thanks again for the explanation | 04:36 |
| intelikey | you bet. | 04:36 |
| dilipgarg | hehe | 04:36 |
| Nigel | I have a problem with my installation of mysql and apache , can anyone help ? | 04:36 |
| intelikey | Nigel i can point at the wiki but that's about it. | 04:38 |
| intelikey | !lamp | 04:38 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 04:38 |
| Nigel | I think a more pertinent issue is that.. | 04:38 |
| Nigel | I think I've messed things up.. is there any way I can just get everything out and start over.. | 04:38 |
| intelikey | apt-get remove --purge | 04:39 |
| Nigel | i've done that.. | 04:39 |
| Nigel | but now that i re install | 04:39 |
| Nigel | aka | 04:39 |
| Nigel | apt-get install mysql apache2 | 04:39 |
| Nigel | There isn't /etc/init.d/apache2 or mysql.. | 04:40 |
| intelikey | Nigel did the setup process error out ? sudo dpkg --configure -a | 04:40 |
| Alucard_Hellsing | k i still cant install firefox 3 | 04:41 |
| Nigel | nope , no errors.. | 04:41 |
| Alucard_Hellsing | when i sudo apt-get install firefox i get Setting up firefox (2.0.0.16+1nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10) | 04:41 |
| intelikey | Nigel dpkg -l | grep apache2 | 04:42 |
| Nigel | I've done it... | 04:42 |
| Nigel | But what does that do ? | 04:42 |
| intelikey | lists package state | 04:43 |
| intelikey | if they start with ii you are ok. | 04:43 |
| Nigel | would you like to see the output ? | 04:43 |
| intelikey | do they all start with ii ? | 04:43 |
| Nigel | yep | 04:44 |
| Nigel | they all start with ii | 04:44 |
| intelikey | then no. | 04:44 |
| intelikey | ok have a look at this one. dpkg -L apache2-common | grep init.d | 04:44 |
| Nigel | well..its executed , but there's no output | 04:45 |
| intelikey | Nigel ok. there was an apache2-common in the previous list. | 04:45 |
| intelikey | ? | 04:45 |
| intelikey | there was apache2-common in the first list though ? | 04:46 |
| Nigel | apache2.2 common | 04:46 |
| intelikey | ok use that package name in the second command | 04:47 |
| intelikey | mine is not 2.2 so... ;/ | 04:47 |
| Nigel | still no output | 04:47 |
| Nigel | for the command | 04:48 |
| intelikey | well there is the problem. apache*-common is supposed to install the init script | 04:48 |
| Nigel | dpkg -l apache2.2-common | grep init.d | 04:48 |
| intelikey | ^ | 04:48 |
| intelikey | not -l -L | 04:48 |
| intelikey | case sensitive | 04:48 |
| Nigel | oh.. | 04:48 |
| Nigel | oh ..there's an output now... | 04:49 |
| intelikey | shows the init svript ? | 04:49 |
| Nigel | and its | 04:49 |
| Nigel | yes | 04:49 |
| Nigel | can I do the same I've done here for mysql ? | 04:49 |
| intelikey | ok. you can use force reinstall to get it to extract that script from the package. | 04:49 |
| intelikey | yes you can | 04:49 |
| dilipgarg | duh. after installing tor my internet traffic is anonymous but i cant logon to that java based chat room at all.. | 04:50 |
| dilipgarg | access denied :) | 04:50 |
| Nigel | how do I force re-install ? | 04:50 |
| intelikey | Nigel sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2.2-common and see if the init script doesn't appear in /etc/init.d/ | 04:50 |
| intelikey | dilipgarg they may block tor ? | 04:51 |
| Nigel | lemme check for it now | 04:51 |
| dilipgarg | intelikey: yea, it could be the case | 04:51 |
| intelikey | dilipgarg or you may have not configured something right ? | 04:51 |
| * intelikey ducks | 04:51 | |
| Nigel | intelikey , the file is not there.. | 04:52 |
| dilipgarg | nopes, my ip address has changed from 66.. to 88.. | 04:52 |
| intelikey | Nigel ok. that would be a bug in the package. | 04:52 |
| Nigel | i see.. | 04:53 |
| intelikey | Nigel i would sujest opening that package and manually extracting the init script as a work around. | 04:53 |
| Nigel | where are the packages stored after they are downloaded ? | 04:53 |
| intelikey | Nigel do you use "mc" ? it's really handy for things like that | 04:53 |
| Nigel | I don't.. what is it ? | 04:53 |

| intelikey | Nigel sudo mc navigate to the package and to /etc/init.d in the other tab then get the script out of the package by decending into it as if it was just a dir. | 04:56 |
| Nigel | k , lemme try that | 04:57 |
| fulat2k | eekk... now my usb devices aren't detected... | 04:57 |
| fulat2k | any idea what's wrong? | 04:57 |
| fulat2k | i can't see from /var/log/messages it's detected by the kernel. somehow kde's daemon isn't automounting it | 04:57 |
| Nigel | Its in apache2.2-common right ? | 04:58 |
| intelikey | Nigel yep | 04:59 |

| silvia | Hey guys. Can anyone help me? I'm following the steps on the wifidocs how-to to get my broadcom wireless working under the ndiswrapper. One of the steps involves checking /etc/iftab but my distro (ubuntu hardy with kde) doesn't seem to have it. Am I missing something? | 05:03 |

| MacAnthony | what about it? | 05:05 |
| Nigel | well | 05:05 |
| MacAnthony | to install it? | 05:05 |
| silvia | If there is it's not mentioned... I hoped someone could tell me one :-) | 05:05 |
| Nigel | I installed it | 05:05 |
| Nigel | and I found the folder where it was.. | 05:05 |
| silvia | I'm supposed to be checking for the existence of an entry for wlan0 | 05:05 |
| Nigel | and then i moved it to /var/www/ | 05:05 |
| Nigel | and it worked.. | 05:05 |
| MacAnthony | ok | 05:05 |
| Nigel | but i never got in to check to see if its working.. | 05:05 |
| dilipgarg | silvia: checking | 05:06 |
| Nigel | is what I done there right ? | 05:06 |
| MacAnthony | so you connect to localhost/<phpMyAdminDir> | 05:06 |
| Nigel | yes.. | 05:06 |
| MacAnthony | not sure if you have to change the phpMyAdmin config as I have never installed the package from the ubuntu .deb | 05:07 |

| HaSH | hello all. im having issues with setting up wpa2 on kubuntu 8.04 | 05:21 |
| HaSH | under systemsettings>network> there is no option to set a wpa key only wep.... | 05:21 |
| HaSH | !wpa | 05:22 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:22 |
| MacAnthony | WiCD supports wpa | 05:22 |
| HaSH | i have the knetwork manager installed...but i dont have any wireless options in there | 05:23 |
| HaSH | what is WiCD MacAnthony | 05:23 |
| HaSH | !wicd | 05:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd | 05:23 |
| MacAnthony | wicd is an alternative network manager | 05:24 |
| HaSH | i JUST installed kubuntu.....wpa worked flawlessly on mandriva 2008.1 | 05:24 |
| intelikey | !info wicd | 05:24 |
| ubottu | Package wicd does not exist in hardy | 05:24 |
| HaSH | :( | 05:24 |
| MacAnthony | I started using it a while ago since in Fiesty, I couldn't get knetwork manager to list available wireless networks | 05:24 |
| HaSH | E: Couldn't find package wircd | 05:25 |
| MacAnthony | http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ | 05:25 |
| MacAnthony | there is a repository you can add from there | 05:25 |

| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 05:25 |
| HaSH | oh bah. i dont want to compile and install it! | 05:25 |
| MacAnthony | you don't have to compile it | 05:25 |
| HaSH | i wonder why wpa support is so bad in kubuntu..... | 05:25 |
| intelikey | insecure | 05:26 |
| HaSH | wpa is?. | 05:26 |
| HaSH | or wpa2 to be exact | 05:26 |
| intelikey | so i hear | 05:26 |
| HaSH | wpa2 is WAY more secure then wep | 05:26 |
| jack48 | more secure | 05:26 |
| HaSH | so without using 3rd party repos or compiling from source...im out of luck?... | 05:27 |
| HaSH | knetwork manager only has options for wired. not wireless | 05:27 |
| jack48 | then use term | 05:27 |
| jack48 | iwconfig iwlist etc | 05:28 |
| intelikey | HaSH i think there is a native solution, but i don't know it. did you visit the wifi page ? | 05:28 |
| HaSH | yea. ive looked it over...it only says to use knetwork manager | 05:28 |
| HaSH | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo/Kubuntu | 05:28 |
| HaSH | not trying to flame....but on mandriva 2008.1....it was very simple...all i had to do was select wpa/wpa2 from a drop down menu and enter my key..... | 05:29 |
| bob3213243_ | Hey, for some reason my mute button on my laptop stopped working. It pops up and says it muted but it doesn't adjust the volume settings at all. I can go to the mixer and mute it or turn it down. So I'm thinking there is a disconnect between the volume button software and the actual volume. | 05:30 |
| HaSH | and i figured since kubuntu is such a user friendly distro...it would be just as easy...if not more. | 05:30 |
| intelikey | HaSH http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant ??? | 05:32 |
| HaSH | ill look it over | 05:35 |
| HaSH | i still cant get this wpa to work :( | 05:41 |

| z0d14k | I earlier versions of kubuntu, I used ksynaptic, but can't find it in Hardy. Is it out there or is there a replacement for it now? | 05:44 |
| z0d14k | I want to stop the accidental clicks and drags on my touchpad. | 05:45 |
| z0d14k | I found drag sensitivity in the settings, but it would be pretty convenient if I could stop the accidental clicks. | 05:46 |
| gkffjcs | hi all, If I am in a bash prompt and quickly want to find out what the free/total space is on the partiton that the current directory is on how do I do that? | 05:54 |

| HaSH | df -h is what i normally use | 05:55 |
| gkffjcs | thanks! | 05:56 |

| intelikey | if all you want is the pwd du -sh | 05:59 |

| gkffjcs | no, that didn't work right, it says I have 1000 gig and 7.5T which is retarded. | 06:03 |
| HaSH | bah. wpa and kubuntu have HORRIBLE support. | 06:04 |
| gkffjcs | one of the ftp volumes is the h drive for my university, I have a limit of 50mb but it's possible that the actual drive is 7.5T is there a way to get my current disk quota? | 06:05 |

| gkffjcs | can you hard link a directory on ext3? I keep getting hard link not allowed for directory. This link is on the same fs so that shouldn't be the problem. | 06:16 |
| intelikey | gkffjcs hardlinking dirs in general is not a good idea | 06:17 |
| intelikey | you can symlink them | 06:17 |
| gkffjcs | what I want to do is mount a second file system over a dir and then still gain access to it via the hard link with I have read should be possible. | 06:18 |
| intelikey | gkffjcs short answer "no." long answer is "it's very complicated but is possable" | 06:18 |
| intelikey | gkffjcs why not use unionfs ? | 06:18 |
| intelikey | yo can mount on a dir and still access it's inodes as well as the newly mounted fs | 06:19 |

| gkffjcs | whoops | 06:23 |
| intelikey | heh. /exec unionfs -h "might" have worked :))) | 06:25 |
| intelikey | although gkffjcs it's generally a better idea to use man <command> than ramdomly testing the -h switch on things youre not familear with. -h is --help in some things but it's not in all thing. | 06:27 |
| intelikey | hehhe for q in /*bin/* ;do $q -h ;done :S | 06:28 |

| intelikey | watches | 06:47 |
| ZeroOP | i'm in that process of debating between KDE and Gnome | 06:48 |
| intelikey | ZeroOP one good idea, sudo apt-get install xterm twm first. so if you happen to take down the wrong package you should still have a gui "of sorts" to fix it from | 06:48 |
| ZeroOP | hmm, intresting | 06:49 |
| ZeroOP | kk <3 | 06:49 |
| ZeroOP | i have no idea what yer talking about but it's a good idea to have a backup | 06:49 |
| intelikey | yep | 06:49 |
| ZeroOP | <--- Linux Noob. | 06:50 |
| ZeroOP | i've lived on windows my whole life | 06:50 |
| intelikey | there are many desktop environments avalable in linux you are not limited to "kde and gnome" | 06:50 |
| ZeroOP | lol | 06:50 |
| ZeroOP | the last thing i want right now is to be confused | 06:50 |
| ZeroOP | ;) | 06:50 |
| kg | ZeroOP: you can install both gnome and KDE onto the same linux setup, and try them both at the same time | 06:51 |
| chipbuddy | i've had some really bad experiences with the ati restricted drivers. so i don't want to turn them on. But my interface is really sluggish... is there any way i can get my gui to run smoother? this is all without desktop effects | 06:51 |
| kg | ZeroOP: you know, being in the *K*ubuntu channel of course you'll get people encouraging you to use KDE :P | 06:51 |
| intelikey | blackbox fluxbox icewm icewm95 openbox windowmaker jwm twm fvwm xfce4 enlightenment# just to name a few of them. | 06:51 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey: was that for me? | 06:52 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy no. @ ZeroOP | 06:52 |
| ZeroOP | i know | 06:52 |
| ZeroOP | i'm running Gnome also | 06:52 |
| ZeroOP | in this install | 06:53 |
| ZeroOP | :) | 06:53 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy using the vesa driver ? | 06:53 |
| ZeroOP | i'm in the #ubuntu channel too ;) | 06:53 |
| intelikey | !enter | ZeroOP especally in the other channel | 06:53 |
| ubottu | ZeroOP especally in the other channel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:53 |
| kg | ZeroOP: lol good luck deciding | 06:54 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey: i don't think so, how do i tell? | 06:54 |
| ZeroOP | thank you | 06:54 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy grep vesa /etc/X11/xorg.* | 06:54 |
| ZeroOP | i'm trying not to, i have a bad habbit of many short lines | 06:54 |
| kg | ZeroOP: i would say one thing - KDE is very configurable - you can make it behave like windows, or macs, or like gnome | 06:54 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey nothing | 06:55 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy then you probably arent. | 06:55 |
| ZeroOP | i'm noticing that, i'm also seeing it defaults to look at like vista ;) | 06:55 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey: hmm... synaptic says i have xserver-xorg-video-vesa and vga installed | 06:56 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy you might try it. but i'm not sure it will help you any. i only have one ati vidio and it doesn't like well anything really. not the propritary nor the free drivers... | 06:56 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy yeah installed != in use tho | 06:56 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey: so what do you do? just live with slow and choppy windows? | 06:56 |
| kg | ZeroOP: the more fancy looks is more for KDE 4 -- but for stability purposes, i still recommend KDE 3 | 06:56 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy heh i use the console lol | 06:56 |
| justin_ | ey | 06:56 |
| kg | ZeroOP: but of course, if you want to be adventurous, i highly recommend you play around with KDE 4.1 when it gets released end of this month. it's pretty cool | 06:57 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey i never quite got that... how do you use the internet? | 06:57 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey for example read fark | 06:57 |
| intelikey | chipbuddy those that know me know that i go many days without even starting a gui. like on this box right now. no gui. | 06:57 |
| justin_ | im back | 06:58 |
| ZeroOP | i'm on whatever it downloaded when i did apt-get kubuntu-desktop | 06:58 |
| ZeroOP | lol | 06:58 |
| ZeroOP | which is what someone on the other channel told me to do when i said i wanted kde. | 06:58 |
| ZeroOP | ok | 06:58 |
| chipbuddy | intelikey: i'm jealous. i'm not quite at that point yet. | 06:58 |
| ZeroOP | one thing i liked about gnome was the control-alt-arrow changed desktops. | 06:59 |
| Kernel | hello all...am i crazy or is xmms not availible anymore? | 06:59 |
| Kernel | xmms does not exist..and xmms2 doesnt seem to be xmms... | 06:59 |
| Jucato | Kernel: you're not crazy. xmms is no longer developed | 06:59 |
| Kernel | i know | 06:59 |
| Jucato | so yes, it's not available in the repos anymore | 07:00 |
| Kernel | but it should still be availible to me | 07:00 |
| Kernel | that sucks. | 07:00 |
| chipbuddy | why are there such problems with graphics cards? because the vendors won't open the drivers? | 07:00 |
| Kernel | xmms is my fav..and im aware of ALL the other players. | 07:00 |
| intelikey | ZeroOP that is the most common advice. "install the *buntu-desktop package" but there are other meta packages that are often more what the costumor wants. both gnome and kde meta packages give a more pure "gnome" or pure "kde" experance than the *buntu-desktop that gets sujested. | 07:00 |
| Kernel | but ive been using xmms for 5 freaking years and would like to continue too | 07:00 |
| Kernel | :( | 07:00 |
| kg | ZeroOP: if you're on 8.04, you should be on KDE 3... you can configure hot keys in KDE 3 too, but that's up to you to decide if it's worth the trouble :) | 07:00 |
| kg | ZeroOP: actually, i believe KDE 3 have their own keystrokes to switch desktops | 07:01 |
| intelikey | Kernel when that happens in linux normally the person picks up the source and "forks" it. | 07:01 |
| ZeroOP | i know mouse wheel on empty desktop does it | 07:01 |
| ZeroOP | but i'm never at empty dekstop | 07:01 |
| Kernel | yea. i know....but ive never seen a distro just drop it. | 07:02 |
| Kernel | they still over it.... | 07:02 |
| Kernel | *offer | 07:02 |
| Jucato | ZeroOP: you can add a keyboard shortcut like that in KDE | 07:02 |
| Kernel | this is a huge disapointment for me | 07:02 |
| intelikey | Kernel also of note. an older .deb of xmms would probably install and work on your newer system. if you want to go there. | 07:03 |
| Kernel | i do! | 07:03 |
| ZeroOP | thanks all for the help | 07:03 |
| ZeroOP | i'm goning to be playing around with KDE/Gnome for a couple days :) but now it's bed time | 07:04 |
| intelikey | it's not "recommended" so you are on your own with it. but think it will work ok | 07:04 |
| Kernel | intelikey: where could i even find a old deb for it? | 07:04 |
| intelikey | !packages | 07:04 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 07:04 |

| Kernel | ah duhhh... | 07:05 |
| Kernel | my bad | 07:05 |
| intelikey | or even older | 07:05 |
| Kernel | is there a good reason why xmms has been abolished? | 07:06 |
| intelikey | one other thing i might point out. you may have to mark that package as "hold" to keep the updates from removing it for you. | 07:06 |
| Kernel | ie....lots of known vulns | 07:06 |
| Kernel | yea. im a die hard xmms fan lol.......none of the other players feel right ;) | 07:07 |
| intelikey | that i don't know. but not developed i.e. no support at all. not even if it does have bugs/security holes... | 07:07 |

| gukkels | Hi! Can anyone give me link on something like "STEP-BY-STEP HOWTO - how to tranfer existing ubuntu on new larger drive"? I suspect it is trivial task, but I found nothing on google. | 07:43 |
| jussi01 | gukkels: you just want to do a straight copy across? | 07:49 |
| jussi01 | gukkels: something like this? http://encodable.com/tech/blog/2006/10/30/Ubuntu_Linux_Hard_Drive_Upgrade | 07:50 |
| gukkels | I partitioned new disk, and made the copy of my old hard. But it seems that there are some tricks need to be done. After I boot from new HD my root fs become r/o. | 07:50 |
| jussi01 | gukkels: have a look at the link I gave you :) | 07:51 |
| intelikey | make a linux filesystem on the disk mke2fs -Cj /dev/sdb1 mount the disk mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt copy the data over tar --one-file-system -cf - / | tar -xf - -C /mnt edit your fstab accordingly and reinstall grub for the new system. | 07:51 |
| intelikey | short example ^ | 07:52 |
| * jussi01 hugs intelikey | 07:52 | |
| gukkels | Yes, it looks so. | 07:52 |
| gukkels | intelikey, yes, also I changed uuids in fstab, edited grub's config, but root fs remains r/o. It confuses me. | 07:53 |
| intelikey | did you reinstall grub ? | 07:53 |
| gukkels | intelikey, sure. | 07:53 |
| intelikey | you may even need to rebuild the initramfs image | 07:54 |
| intelikey | i think i have ran into that too | 07:54 |
| gukkels | intelikey, Oh. Where I can read about this? | 07:54 |
| intelikey | gukkels simple fix for working with the new system mount -o remount,rw / and as to your Q man mkinitramfs | 07:55 |
| intelikey | but you probably need to make sure that / is the new disk and not the old one. | 07:55 |
| intelikey | cat /proc/mounts should help there | 07:56 |
| intelikey | gukkels also if your copy process was successful you can just mount the new root over the old one for working on it. | 07:57 |
| intelikey | better populate /dev first tho | 07:57 |
| intelikey | that was kind of an after thought... word to the wise. | 07:58 |

After fighting an epic battle with ndiswrapper I finally got it recognizing my hardware (or so I think...) but now iwconfig shows no wlan0... therefore I can't really use it... any ideas or tips?

| ubottu | incorrect: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 09:15 |
| XenThraL | Hi, I'm having trouble installing my nvidia driver | 09:17 |

| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:17 |
| XenThraL | ty | 09:17 |
| kg-away | that might help :) if you still have questions just ask | 09:17 |
| XenThraL | yeah | 09:19 |
| XenThraL | it doesnt appear on the list | 09:19 |
| kg-away | your card? | 09:19 |
| XenThraL | this is very odd, everything was fine until a few days ago | 09:19 |
| XenThraL | no on the 'hardware drivers' list | 09:19 |
| XenThraL | theres nothing | 09:19 |
| kg-away | what card are you using? | 09:20 |
| mcw | I am trying to setup a home studio does anyone know a reasonably priced audio interface thas supports asio | 09:20 |
| XenThraL | quadro fx 1400 | 09:21 |
| mcw | I am using ubuntu studio | 09:21 |
| jussi01 | mcw: m-audio stuff is good | 09:21 |
| mcw | ok | 09:21 |
| mcw | is e-mu any good | 09:21 |
| mcw | they seem comparable | 09:21 |
| mcw | but on there home page it doesnt look like they support asio | 09:22 |
| XenThraL | I managed to get it working with the nvidia-glx-new-envy driver | 09:22 |
| jussi01 | mcw: Id suggest asking the ubuntu studio mailing list - they will know and give good recomendations | 09:22 |
| mcw | ok | 09:22 |
| XenThraL | except that every single 3D program segfaulted when it exited | 09:22 |
| mcw | hammerfall is too expensive but I know they work | 09:23 |
| zxy_64 | silvia_: yes, that was to you | 09:24 |
| XenThraL | kg-away: any ideas why its not on the list? | 09:24 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: you're sure that you're using the nvidia drivers? can you use compiz etc? | 09:25 |
| XenThraL | well at the moment I'm using 'nv' | 09:25 |
| XenThraL | cause nvidia-xgl-new just crashes on boot | 09:26 |
| XenThraL | and nvidia-xgl-new-envy crashes with 3D programs | 09:26 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: that would be why - you need to change that to "nvidia", because nv is the open source driver without 3D | 09:26 |
| silvia_ | zxy_64: oh... tell me more. | 09:26 |
| XenThraL | I just changed it back to nv, from nvidia | 09:26 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: ohh i see i just got it lol sorry | 09:26 |
| XenThraL | np | 09:26 |
| XenThraL | any idea why it doesn't appear on the restricted drivers list? | 09:26 |
| silvia_ | zxy_64: because ubuntu defaulted to using fwcutter which was disastrous... the only alternative I knew was ndis... and I think I actually got around it... | 09:27 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: no idea - but the closed-source driver does support your card - it's on NVidia's website | 09:27 |
| silvia_ | zxy_64: only problem is something is still off... | 09:27 |
| silvia_ | zxy_64: for instance... wlan0 isn't showing in iwconfig | 09:28 |

| XenThraL | going to restart X then | 09:29 |
| XenThraL | oh just quick question | 09:29 |
| XenThraL | which driver should I install anyways - the one with 'envy' on the name or just glx-new ? | 09:29 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: i have no idea - it really depends on your system. usually though, i depend on the envyng utility to choose for me | 09:31 |
| XenThraL | envyng? | 09:31 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: but even so I've even seen envyng mess up before (though much rarer) | 09:31 |
| XenThraL | unsure what envyng is? | 09:32 |
| XenThraL | the restricted driver thingy? | 09:32 |
| kg-away | XenThraL: it's a tool that helps you install proprietry graphics driver | 09:32 |

| silvia_ | Well... now that I've broken my interfaces... how can I repair them? I mean... getting it back to it's pristine original state so that I can try to wreck them some more? :-) | 09:59 |
| schumbi | easiest way is to rename .kde but than all other settings are gone too | 10:01 |
| silvia_ | Oh... sorry... I mean network interfaces... particularly wireless... thanks though :-) | 10:02 |
| schumbi | silvia_: :-) are you using the knetworkmanager? | 10:04 |
| silvia_ | well.. it's running but I'm using the console to do my damage :-) | 10:08 |
| schumbi | perhaps you may try ifdown to shut down and ifup to start it again or did you use iconfig to change the hardare parameters? | 10:13 |
| schumbi | silvia_: hardware | 10:13 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: I think I might have used it during one of the howtos........ :-) | 10:14 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: any way to revert it considering I have no idea what I did 26 hours ago when I started the trip into ndiswrapper land? | 10:15 |
| === charlie is now known as Guest88998 | ||
| schumbi | silvia_: are you connected to an ap and is transmission possible? perhaps something like ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 10:18 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: not really. I'm indirectly connected to an ap, so it doesn't really count. I'm connected through my wired, to another laptop which is bridging it's wireless connection. | 10:19 |
| schumbi | silvia_: i would try to set all parameters to "auto" eg. iwconfig ath0 auto | 10:20 |
| schumbi | silvia_: sounds funny ;-) | 10:20 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: It was a desperate idea... hehe... Actually right now kdenetworkmanager doesn't really see my wireless interface right now. I'll try the iwconfig auto right now. | 10:21 |
| schumbi | silvia_: perhaps your network essid is hidden? | 10:22 |
| jamal | hi all | 10:22 |
| eagles0513875 | hi | 10:23 |
| schumbi | silvia_: i configred my wireless while i opend my ap means, no encryption, no hidding of the essid and no mac filtering | 10:23 |
| schumbi | hi eagles0513875 | 10:23 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: iwconfig gave me an unknown command error. The essid isn't really hidden, that much I'm sure, the other laptop can see it fine. The problem really is that knm doesn't really see anything wireless wise | 10:23 |
| schumbi | silvia_: you are sure that your essid isn't hidden? your other laptop may know what it should look after | 10:25 |
| schumbi | silvia_: with iwlist you are able to determine your parameters | 10:25 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: only kind of blocking I have is WPA encryption... but if we get that far I can disable it :-) Nope... it isn't hidden, I'm pretty sure... and anyway, there are about 5 other network aps around here that come on and off frequently in the radar and none of them are showing right now. | 10:26 |
| schumbi | silvia_: that aounds some kind of strange to me | 10:26 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: I can assure you it's all kinds of strange... that's why I wanted something that resetted interfaces to their original settings. | 10:28 |
| schumbi | silvia_: have you tried to reinstall knm? | 10:28 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: don't really think that will help... see iwconfig doesn't even list a wlan0... I really think it's deeper down... but if you think it will help | 10:29 |
| schumbi | silvia_: perhaps it is named ath0 or so? | 10:30 |
| silvia_ | nope.. | 10:31 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: nope, I got eht0 and lo... both not registering anything | 10:32 |
| schumbi | si | 10:33 |
| schumbi | silvia_: it sounds that there is no driver, your kernel doesn't know how to work with your card | 10:33 |
| schumbi | silvia_: whats the name of your wireless chip? | 10:34 |
| silvia_ | it's a broadcom bcm94311 and yes... I've blacklisted every possible driver ubuntu would throw at me. I needed it in order to get ndiswrapper working... | 10:35 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: thing is... it only recognized the hardware now... and still not working :-P | 10:35 |
| schumbi | silvia_: what das iwconfig show you? | 10:36 |
| silvia_ | schumbi: I sent it pvt not to flood the channel | 10:37 |
| schumbi | well thanks :-) | 10:37 |

| sns | can it be done in x? | 11:19 |
| sns | I tried using kiosk-tools... but it didn't stop right clicking and was too difficult for me to customize and then lock down. So I realized that I just need to disable right click | 11:20 |
| sns | and I'm good to go | 11:20 |
| kg | sns: ever considered just getting single-click mice, like the apple ones? | 11:20 |
| sns | Since I will be customizing the panel to only having a clock and the firefox icon on beforehand. also adding in screensaver and stuff like that | 11:20 |
| sns | kg, There is no time for that right now I am afraid | 11:21 |
| tictric | sns: I never cared for something like that but I'd look at xorg.conf | 11:21 |

| XenThraL | kg: tried a lot of things | 11:22 |
| XenThraL | saw some posts that dealt with the issue of segmentation fault in opengl | 11:23 |
| sns | kg, long story short. I got the "pilot pc" at me here in the office, and there are 9 others at locations in a different city. I am to be going there by plane, leaving here at 15. Then this weekend I will make all other ones the same on location | 11:23 |
| XenThraL | seems like its ubuntu's fault | 11:23 |
| sns | tictric: I don't dare to touch xorg.conf anymore unless I am certain it will work haha | 11:23 |
| sns | long story short - I got burnt badly many times yesterday | 11:23 |
| sns | kg, I would have been starting working on this way way earlier. Problem was that the company who sold us the hardware wasn't able to deliver before yesterday | 11:25 |

| ubuntu_ | or i have to install from scratch ? | 11:26 |
| sns | kg, problem with kiosk admin tool is that it takes the default KDE profile and does it's magic from that. So my customisations are gone and users have access to more than my "right click" trick will give them | 11:26 |
| sns | I applied every single option in the kiosk admin tool and could still right click | 11:27 |
| tictric | sns either you google yourself or you try this one http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Advanced_Mouse#Button_Remapping | 11:27 |
| kg | sns: that's real weird - i'll take a look at the xorg.conf thing tictric suggested then | 11:28 |
| sns | kg, tictric, I am looking at it too. Just a bit scared of messing with xorg.conf right now | 11:28 |
| tictric | sns: I already looked xorg.conf is the wrong place | 11:28 |
| tictric | afaict | 11:28 |
| sns | Hm. So if I tell xorg.conf that mouse only have one button | 11:30 |
| sns | it should be good to go? | 11:30 |
| tictric | cp -a xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak and happy trying | 11:30 |
| sns | I'm frightened | 11:31 |
| tictric | then you bit more than you can chew | 11:31 |
| sns | tictric, tell me about it | 11:33 |
| sns | xorg.conf does only have generic mouse stuff | 11:33 |
| kg | lol tictric, were you here last night to watch sns tearing apart xorg.conf just to get his display working? :P | 11:33 |
| kg | Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 8 9 10 11" | 11:34 |
| kg | that's the default - i wonder what happens when you only have 1 :) | 11:34 |
| sns | let's try | 11:34 |
| sns | not much happened | 11:36 |
| tictric | kg: no. Just as I said, I never cared for it before and said where I'd start looking | 11:36 |
| tictric | But X is definitely the way to go | 11:36 |
| tictric | man mouse could also give a clue | 11:37 |
| sns | I need to brb in a hurry. | 11:37 |
| kg | sns: nothing much happened doesn't say anything... i'm guessing your mouse is still a normal mouse? | 11:37 |
| tictric | there's even a frontend or so to remap mouse buttons. Just can't remember the name of it | 11:38 |
| kg | sns: there's also this option: Option "Buttons" "5" | 11:40 |
| kg | sns: maybe changing that to '1' can help | 11:40 |
| tictric | xmodmap -e 'pointer= 1' | 11:41 |
| tictric | see what happens, but keep the fireman at hand :) | 11:42 |
| tictric | you need to be su, obviously | 11:42 |
| kg | lol don't be such a drama queen tictric... i reckon a fire extinguisher would be enough | 11:43 |
| tictric | kg that always depends on the flame thrower :) | 11:43 |
| tictric | on the other hand, if you do #xmodmap -e 'pointer= 3 2 1' you could them into insanity sns :P | 11:45 |

| kg | sns: in kde3? i forgot actually... you can manually kill it by "killall kicker" if you want horrible last resort solutions lol | 11:52 |
| sns | kg, but it won't be gone after a reboot haha | 11:52 |
| kg | sns: i don't have kde 3 installed anywhere, so i really have no idea - you sure you can't just "right click" and remove? | 11:52 |
| sns | yep tried that it doesn't give me the option | 11:53 |
| user__ | hi all | 11:53 |
| sns | what if I did "apt-get remove kicker" | 11:53 |
| kg | sns: LOL don't you dare | 11:53 |
| sns | nah that would remove kde completely | 11:54 |

| kg | sns: lol man, you sure are full of problems :P so what's left? | 12:03 |
| sns | Can still right click on firefox icon hmm is there any way I can make this icon the god of all icons that can not and will not be removed by users | 12:03 |
| kg | sns: just change the permissions of the link | 12:03 |
| kg | sns: so that it's non-writeable | 12:03 |
| kg | sns: but still readable and executable | 12:04 |
| sns | did that but it's still able to being moved to trash | 12:05 |
| kg | oh also, you need to change the Desktop folder so that it's non-writeable, because the unix filesystem is unique such that if the directory's filesystem is writeable, you can still move the file | 12:05 |
| kg | sns: i wasn't making sense ^ was i? neways, can you still move the file to trash after making the Desktop folder non-writeable? | 12:08 |
| sns | kg, yep | 12:08 |
| kg | that's weird... show me the ls -l of the Desktop folder with the icon please | 12:09 |
| sns | --w-------- | 12:10 |
| Jucato | just make the icon owned by root but executable by others... | 12:11 |
| Jucato | that way you won't have to mess with the ~/Desktop folder itself | 12:11 |
| sns | I am restarting kde as it might be some cache thing | 12:11 |
| sns | did make root owner | 12:11 |
| sns | doh | 12:12 |
| sns | I can still delete it but it messed up icons | 12:12 |
| kg | sns it's still writeable by the owner | 12:13 |

| kushou | in "repos" (i think it's the translation of depots) it's the Qt 4.3.4 | 13:56 |
| kushou | with backports, normaly, it's the 4.4 | 13:56 |

| kushou | can you go in adept | 14:01 |
| Jucato | not right now. I'm not on Kubuntu | 14:02 |

| Jucato | kushou: I think you need to install libqt4-dev | 14:05 |
| kushou | done | 14:05 |
| Jucato | then? | 14:05 |
| kushou | but it's 4.3.4 | 14:05 |
| kushou | i need 4.4.0 | 14:05 |
| kushou | it's in backports | 14:06 |
| kushou | activated | 14:06 |

| kushou | can you tell me command line for this ? | 14:08 |
| ubunturos | kushou: sudo apt-get update | 14:08 |
| Avenhawk | i had something to say i am an old windowsuser and before amiga but Kubuntu (Linux) is awesome so many features and things to configure its like my old basics on C64 =)) | 14:09 |
| ubunturos | so, that updates to meta data of packages in the backports are obtained | 14:09 |
| kushou | and for upgrade ? | 14:09 |
| ubunturos | kushou: then, you could search for it using apt-cache search qt* (or qt-* or libqt*) | 14:09 |
| ubunturos | kushou: for upgrade, sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:09 |
| kushou | thancks | 14:09 |
| kushou | -c | 14:10 |
| kushou | 0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour. | 14:10 |
| Jucato | kushou: when you change something in the repositories, you have to "Fetch Updates" (in Adept) or run "sudo apt-get update" first to get a list of updates, then "sudo apt-get upgrade" to actually upgrade those packages | 14:10 |
| kushou | it's the result of sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:11 |

| pag | maui, could you also pastebin the output of " sudo fdisk -l "? | 14:53 |
| maui | yes i will in a sec | 14:54 |
| Shaba2 | I know that viruses in the linux world are very rare but I am volunteering to do soe work for a noon profit whose IT Manager insist on every machine have anti virus and anti spyware software. Can someone reccomend a good FREE one. | 14:54 |
| Shaba2 | I use AVG and AdAware on all my windows machines | 14:54 |
| maui | http://pastebin.com/m778d1387 here it is mate | 14:55 |
| david_ | Is it reccomended that I use a firewall and virus protection in Kubuntu? | 14:56 |
| dilipgarg | I second that question too david_ | 14:56 |
| byteme_ | Jucato: sorry, but do I try and update again? Seems to do this everytime an update is done | 14:56 |
| byteme_ | every time! | 14:57 |
| Shaba2 | I third it dilipgarg and david | 14:57 |
| david_ | I know there is a thing called firestarter for linux which is free but is it neccessary? | 14:58 |
| dilipgarg | Avenhawk, pag: do any of you guys use antivirus, internet protection suites? | 14:59 |
| david_ | wheres a good linux guru when you need one? | 14:59 |
| Shaba2 | busy programming I suspect | 14:59 |
| Shaba2 | :) | 15:00 |
| david_ | Playing with windows? | 15:00 |
| maui | pag? are you there? | 15:00 |
| Avenhawk | in linux ??? | 15:00 |
| david_ | Just kidding | 15:00 |
| pag | maui, http://pastebin.com/dcc7a95b this should work as long as you have directories /media/sdXY mentioned in file and your user name is maui | 15:00 |
| pag | dilipgarg, never used AV in linux, and probably never will :-) | 15:00 |
| maui | and after i copy this in fstab how do i mount the disks? | 15:01 |
| Shaba2 | How do you ctrl-alt-delete to kill a runaway process in linux | 15:01 |
| dilipgarg | pag: just wanted to hear that :) how about firewall, have you configured it for your kubuntu | 15:01 |
| Avenhawk | the problem is when the antivirusprog is not configured rightly you can have more problem also without a firewall or antivirusprog =) i dosent use anything in moment of them | 15:01 |
| pag | maui, well, first of all do the following in the command line: sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mkdir /media/sda5 && sudo mkdir /media/sdb5 | 15:02 |
| Shaba2 | I know sudo kill all , but that kills everything correct? | 15:02 |
| pag | dilipgarg, nope. I use default settings (and TBH have no idea what they are :P) | 15:02 |
| dilipgarg | pag, very much delighted to hear that. pls carry on | 15:03 |
| dilipgarg | :) | 15:03 |
| Avenhawk | windows = use firewall and antivirusprog an feel secure ( i dont think so ) , LINUX = use linux without a firewall or antivirprog an you secures more than windows =) because its LINUX | 15:03 |
| maui | ive modified the fstab and done the commands you gave | 15:03 |
| maui | now? | 15:03 |
| pag | maui, sudo mount -a | 15:03 |
| david_ | yay! for linux | 15:03 |
| david_ | a new day is here for linux! | 15:04 |
| maui | pag after last command it said "watch out there's not a new paragraph at the end of /etc/fstab/" | 15:05 |
| david_ | windows is falling and Ubuntu/Kubuntu is rising this shows in pc mag | 15:05 |
| dilipgarg | i agree totally to that, Avenhawk. I had never used linux in my entire life but in the recent months, after upgrading to Windows Vista Ultimate edition and miliions of viruses/spywares/malwares, I had to reformat my drives 9 times in 6 months! So I became frustrated and decided to clean install Kubuntu Hardy Heron and with all good documentation/support its flying on my laptop!! :) | 15:06 |
| Shaba2 | In which issur | 15:06 |
| pag | maui, fstab likes beauty in formatting, but it shouldn't affect how it works | 15:06 |
| maui | so now everything should work? | 15:07 |
| Pigeon`` | where is my dvd player? like what directory? | 15:07 |
| pag | maui, it *should*, but I'd like to hear if it really works | 15:07 |
| maui | yes it does mate thanks a lot | 15:08 |
| pag | yw :-) | 15:08 |
| maui | the only thing is in "root/media/" now there are 4 hard disks instead of 3 | 15:08 |
| dilipgarg | Pigeon: try /root/cdrom | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | Pigeon``, usually it's /dev/hdc | 15:08 |
| david_ | I have a phone called magicjack and it only works in windows and mac.. It plugs into the usb port and then I can call anywhere in the US free.. Is there a way to get this to work in Kubuntu? | 15:09 |
| Avenhawk | <----had windows vista too on desktop PC but no i am LINUXuser , and i am to happy , performance is godlike an you can configure the whole entire system its awesome i really loved , it sends me back in to the future where basic written on Commodore C64 and AMiga i am happy of Kubuntu ^ | 15:09 |
| maui | cuz 3 are sda1 sdb5 sda5 and another one called maupe which is a repetion of one of those 3 | 15:09 |
| maui | the only thing is in "root/media/" now there are 4 hard disks instead of 3 | 15:09 |
| maui | cuz 3 are sda1 sdb5 sda5 and another one called maupe which is a repetion of one of those 3 | 15:09 |
| maui | (sorry to repeat) | 15:09 |
| pag | maui, might be a leftover from older config – if it's not an issue, then you can just let it be there | 15:09 |
| pag | maui, it's not defined in fstab, so it might (or might not) dissappear after a reboot | 15:10 |
| maui | mmmm | 15:10 |
| maui | alright | 15:10 |
| maui | so now after reboot the hard disks are gonna be automatically mounted right? | 15:10 |
| pag | yup | 15:11 |
| maui | thank allot mate cu | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | Pigeon``, place a disk in the dvd-rom , then open a terminal and use this command , sudo mount /dev/hdc | 15:13 |

| Avenhawk | oh man kdelook.org is so slow is it only from my side or hat anyone else the same prob ??? | 15:38 |

| pag | kyle0016, could you please be more specific? | 15:48 |
| cg_ | <ubottu>ok sorry | 15:49 |
| david_ | pag it says it cannot find dbus | 15:49 |
| Shaba1 | Oh how do I keep power management from putting my laptop into stand by | 15:49 |
| cg_ | <ubottu>but it's not about pirate, | 15:49 |
| pag | david_, my only guess would be: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 15:49 |
| Shaba1 | actually I do not know if its stand by or just a screen saver | 15:50 |
| pag | cg_, ubottu is just a bot ;) | 15:50 |
| Shaba1 | it just gets a bunch of wierd lines on it if I do not press a key or move the mouse within a certian amout of time | 15:50 |
| Shaba1 | it looks like tv static | 15:50 |
| pag | Vermux, could you pastebin the file in question? | 15:50 |
| cg_ | <pag>thanks but I am new here I don't know many things | 15:51 |
| pag | cg_, sure no problem :-) | 15:51 |
| cg_ | <pag> :) | 15:51 |
| Vermux | pag: I cant, it is a private chat history (using kopete). I tried to save it to Documents, but it gives me the error, and dont even let me click on the file | 15:52 |
| pag | cg_, in case you're looking for torrent client: the one in Kubuntu is called ktorrent and in Ubuntu Transmission | 15:52 |
| pag | Vermux, I meant /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop it doesn't seem to be a chat history | 15:52 |
| cg_ | <pag>thank you a lot | 15:53 |
| pag | Vermux, and btw.: when does the error occur | 15:53 |
| pag | Vermux, oh, nevermind - I should really learn to read :P | 15:54 |
| Vermux | pag: 10 seconds after I click on documents folder and move the pointer to try and open the file | 15:54 |
| david_ | pag: well that did not work but what did was when I put this in terminal "dbus-launch f-spot" That started the program with no problem but it still does not start from the icon. | 15:54 |
| pag | Vermux, try the following: sudo mv /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop ~/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop it should fix the error | 15:55 |
| pag | david_, well you could change the icon's command to "dbus-launch f-spot".. | 15:56 |
| david_ | ah good idea I was almost thinking that | 15:57 |
| Avenhawk | haha its getting faster peg =) kdelook... | 15:58 |
| * pag considers changing his nick – apparantly 'peg' is easier to remember/type :D | 15:58 | |
| maui | hi guys i downloaded and installed guarddog, set it up as well but it just doesn't work: i allowed irc chat and msn chat and a couple of other things but it just blocks em anyway even if i allowed them, is there anything else i have to allowed to permit (e.g.) these two? i dunno some other application/program? | 15:58 |
| Avenhawk | rofl pag sry i mean peg | 15:58 |
| pag | Avenhawk, type p and press tab, it should get my nick automatically ;) (works for other nicks too, as well as commands at commandline) | 15:59 |

| Avenhawk | pag: i dont use irc before to chat i only know skype =) | 16:01 |
| pag | Vermux, well I've actually moved it, so it wouldn't affect the dolphin's work ;) | 16:01 |
| Vermux | pag: ok, what filr is it? | 16:02 |
| pag | Vermux, apparantly you can right click on some file and add it to amarok as podcast with it (pretty useless I'd say) | 16:03 |
| maui | hi guys i downloaded and installed guarddog, set it up as well but it just doesn't work: i allowed irc chat and msn chat and a couple of other things but it just blocks em anyway even if i allowed them, is there anything else i have to allowed to permit (e.g.) these two? i dunno some other application/program? | 16:03 |

| Avenhawk | pag: i try it , when its done i tell you of working or not =) | 16:11 |

| pag | david_, IRC colors - the ones you can make your text to appear as red/blu/yellow/etc. | 16:33 |
| david_ | but my name can have color? | 16:33 |
| === _roconnor is now known as roconnor | ||

| david_ | yes I am blue I just set it.. but I see alot of peoples text as blue and red.. your words look red to me | 16:35 |
| pag | david_, not sure about blue one (probably font setting) but red is highlight colour which is triggered when your nick is menitioned | 16:36 |
| david_ | oh I see all your lines as red I geuss that is because it is directed to me.. | 16:37 |

| SHAMO | got a question am a newbi ....if you donwl and install software.....in what folder O_Õ) will it go ....?? | 16:41 |
| eduardopl | SHAMO: /var/apt/cache/archives i guess | 16:42 |
| pag | SHAMO, the package itself will go to /var/apt/archive/ or similiar – the content will go to apropriate direcories all over your system | 16:42 |
| eduardopl | it's /var/cache/apt/archives actually | 16:42 |
| SHAMO | okey...i though wat pag said.....all over your system...-_-!!)... | 16:43 |
| genii | SHAMO: What pag says is true when you use packages or the built in package manager. If you are downloading outside apps they download to wherever your browser defaults puting them, then the binary files after making the application goes wherever it's instructions tell it to put them. Usually in places like /bin /sbin for executable files and places like /etc for configuration files | 16:44 |
| SHAMO | ahh okey..thnx.. | 16:45 |

| mkultras | opera is nice enough to tell you that its hotkeys conflict with kde on first startup, i thought that was nice of them | 17:00 |

| Shaba2 | How does one determine what process id is associated with what window on the desktop. | 17:16 |
| pag | Shaba2, 'xkill' removes the need for that | 17:17 |
| Shaba2 | yes pag | 17:17 |
| Shaba2 | but I do not want to kill the desktop or konversation? | 17:17 |
| Shaba2 | that is why I want to know the process id | 17:17 |
| Jucato | Shaba2: Ctrl+Esc | 17:18 |
| Shaba2 | Juanto in a terminal window? | 17:18 |
| Jucato | pag: btw, in KDE, Ctrl+Alt+Esc = xkill | 17:18 |
| Jucato | Shaba2: oh, nope. | 17:18 |
| Jucato | in KDE, that would bring up the Process Table (like the Task Manager in Windows) | 17:19 |
| Shaba2 | see what I mean about specificity | 17:19 |
| Shaba2 | ok Jucato how does one do that? | 17:19 |
| Jucato | Shaba2: "ps aux" will give you a list of running process. | 17:19 |
| pag | Jucato, yup, I know. though lately so many Gnome folks have stopped by here, that I prefer to give universal instructions whenever possible ;) | 17:20 |
| Jucato | "ps aux | grep -i <search term>" would let you filter it down | 17:20 |
| Resistol | Help! After I login, my screen goes black except for the mouse pointer... the last thing I did was check "enable desktop effects" | 17:20 |

| Resistol | Yes Jucato i just installed it, I'm a newbie | 17:21 |
| Shaba2 | You were right Jucato xkill just allowed me to choose he window | 17:22 |
| Shaba2 | I like that | 17:22 |

| Jucato | nah, I told him that in #kde :) | 17:24 |
| Jucato | eramax_: yes. #kubuntu-kde4 for KDE 4 (4.0 or 4.1) | 17:25 |
| XenThraL | anyone? | 17:25 |
| eramax_ | ok | 17:25 |
| XenThraL | would really hate having to wipe my install :| | 17:25 |
| Resistol | thanks Jucato, I just saw a post on a forum stating that i could just remove the ~/.kde4 directory and it will recreate itself... think i'm going to give that a try | 17:25 |
| Jucato | Resistol: if it's absolutely new. sure. just don't make it a habit | 17:26 |
| Jucato | .kde4 or .kde will usually contain personal settings or applicaton data. you don't want to lose those sometimes :) | 17:26 |

| silvia_ | Alright... after about some 30 hours I managed to get my wireless board working with ndiswrapper... but it seems to be unable to connect WPA networks, even though it detects their encryption type and asks for it's key (well, at least knetworkmanager does).

| yakuzi | at least, if you don't have 2 identical monitors :p | 18:00 |
| === root is now known as Guest92144 | ||
| daemon3_opera | silvia_: You might want to try messing with the encryption if you haven't already. I did for a WEP key. | 18:01 |
| daemon3_opera | The Encryption dropdown menu, I mean. | 18:01 |
| Nyad | hello. I have a device naming issue. I've been running kubuntu on my sata drive sdb6. but now I plugged in an IDE HD as the primary slave. this has now named itself sda so my previous sdb6 with grub is now called sdc6 and so grub can't be found. | 18:02 |
| Nyad | why doesn't it get named sdc or something | 18:02 |
| Nyad | instead of changing everything | 18:02 |
| silvia_ | daemon3_opera: what do you mean by messing around? I already dropped all kinds of encryption and am connected right now encryptionless... this seems to be working but I really oughta have wpa working again. | 18:03 |
| Shaba2 | anyone know a convient screen capture program that runs in the backgroud and works with a keystroke combination | 18:05 |
| silvia_ | daemon3_opera: If I had to guess I'd say it's something with wpa_supplicant, but I spent the last 4 hours fixing some deep mess I made with the interfaces while trying to get ndis to work so I'm reluctant to mess with wpa_sup because it seemed to be working before. | 18:05 |
| daemon3_opera | Right click on the KDE Network icon in the system tray. Select Connect to Othber Wireless Network. Enter the name of the network. Click on encryption, and play around with the type of encryption (enter the key, of course). Then click connect. If it doesn't work, try another type of encryption. | 18:07 |
| daemon3_opera | silvia_: | 18:07 |
| silvia_ | daemon3_opera: Ok, thanks... that doesn't solve my problem though =) You see, I can configure my ap and I usually run it with wpa. right now knm won't connect using wpa for it's life so I had to drop encryption. this way it connected which allowed me to enjoy this chat. What I'm looking into is getting wpa working, get it? =) | 18:10 |

| Koordin | yes | 18:24 |
| Koordin | Hi | 18:24 |
| ngirard | Koordin: Well, actually I'm convinced there are more specific tools although I've never used any of them | 18:25 |
| matthias__ | bonjour! | 18:25 |
| Koordin | i didn't understand what you are trying to do | 18:26 |
| Koordin | you want to uppercase all the subtitles ? | 18:26 |
| Jucato | Koordin: make subtitles appear after a delay | 18:27 |
| yakuzi | what he wants is to adjust the subtitles in an srt by 1 sec for instance backwards/forwards | 18:27 |
| Jucato | the "shift" there doesn't mean "Shift key" :) | 18:27 |
| Koordin | oh sorry | 18:27 |
| Koordin | with VLC, when you are watching a video, you can delay the subtitles using alt+h & alt+j | 18:28 |
| ngirard | Jucato: Hi. You're right, that's what I need | 18:28 |
| Koordin | ngirard: is that enough ? | 18:29 |

| ngirard | Koordin: http://www.effe-elle.it/srt/srtshifter.aspx might fit my need, though I'm a little bit bothered with the idea of posting the whole stuff while a local script could do the same stuff | 18:34 |
| yakuzi | daemon3_opera: depends on your graphic card... | 18:34 |
| daemon3_opera | NVIDIA. | 18:35 |
| matthiasv | omg | 18:35 |
| yakuzi | if ati and 2 different monitors (like CRT and TFT) leave it, if NVidia, you can try but i don't know about it | 18:35 |
| daemon3_opera | What's worng, matthiasv? | 18:35 |
| daemon3_opera | NVIDIA and ENVision. :P | 18:36 |

| yakuzi | well i don't know ENVision :p | 18:36 |

| SebNaitsabes | yes this was all done on Ubuntu, but this person will probably become a Kubuntu user once I can VNC again, so you benefit off helping me :) | 19:57 |

| SebNaitsabes | find a .HTML file | 20:06 |
| SebNaitsabes | anywhere | 20:06 |
| SebNaitsabes | and if it's like Gnome KDE, you should be able to do something like right click properties go to open with and choose Firefox | 20:07 |
| SebNaitsabes | or I supopouse Firefox can be set as your default browser in it's settings | 20:07 |

| emons | mmm help :D | 20:14 |
| === darkraider is now known as sedarkraider | ||
| BluesKaj | emons , Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories, click the kubuntu software tab, check all the boxes "X",same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu. | 20:15 |

| KateKatja | BluesKaj, its already installed | 20:22 |
| KateKatja | BluesKaj, can you play the movie on the above url | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | emons it's flashplugin-nonfree ,NOT flashplyer | 20:23 |

| KateKatja | BluesKaj, I read somewhere that all those video/audio requests could be redirected to vlc player.. but i am not sure about vlc playing embedded divx videos in a browser | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | well, it just downloads the buffer on my player | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | vlc player works ok on nonweb content | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | webcontent not so great | 20:26 |
| KateKatja | yea.. i guessed that | 20:27 |
| Resistol | how can i make firefox the default browser? | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | Resistol, , in the konsole , sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser | 20:27 |
| Kernel | is it me or do the ubuntu repos suck?....they start out fast for about 10 seconds...then drop down to 1-3kb/s and stay that slow | 20:28 |
| Resistol | BluesKaj: should i copy that exactly, or am i replacing x-www-browser with firefox? | 20:28 |
| Kernel | i have to cancel the download and restart it about 5 times when installing things | 20:28 |
| Kernel | 26% [1 sun-java6-bin 8991704/27.3MB 32%] 5280B/s 1h18min12s | 20:29 |
| Kernel | :( | 20:29 |
| BluesKaj | KateKatja, the webvideo can be streamed thru VLC but it's arcane to setup | 20:29 |
| KateKatja | Kernel, it looks like its just you | 20:29 |
| rickest | Kernel: might try a different mirror | 20:29 |
| Kernel | ive had this issue with ubuntu repos in the past | 20:29 |
| Kernel | im using the us. mirrors | 20:29 |
| BluesKaj | Resistol, copy that exactly into the terminal , them choose the bowser | 20:29 |
| KateKatja | BluesKaj, if that arcane setup does the work, i'll be happy to follow those instructions | 20:29 |

| BluesKaj | well, I wish i could help you there KateKatja , there are some tutorials out there, good luck :) | 20:31 |
| Kernel | bah. | 20:31 |
| kdavid | I just loaded Cairo on my Kubuntu and it does not start. It says I am missing a glitz file but I have it | 20:31 |
| Resistol | BluesKaj: bash responded "therei s only 1 program which provides x-www-browser" | 20:31 |
| Kernel | installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and audacious STILL wont play any mp3's | 20:31 |
| KateKatja | looks sheepishly towards BluesKaj and smiles.. okay. :) | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | Resistol, have you installed firefox? | 20:31 |
| BluesKaj | KateKatja, I find it frustrating to fool around with those nonstd video codecs on the net | 20:33 |
| Resistol | BluesKaj: yes, it is listed as the only program when I type that command, but konqueror opens when I open a link/html file | 20:34 |
| KateKatja | BluesKaj, DivX/XviD are one of the most popular vid codecs today. Cant just ignore the fact | 20:34 |
| Kernel | hmm when i click on a mp3 and select open with audacious....it opens a whole new audacious client...instead of opening it with the already open client. can i fix this? | 20:36 |

| dwidmann|sleep | Kernel: if you don't have the dependencies (probably gtk and gnome and gstreamer), it will be a hefty download | 22:09 |
| Kernel | half a gig of dependencys is alot | 22:09 |
| Kernel | well im having issues with audacious and wanted to try banshee....but thats way to many things to install just for a mp3 player. | 22:10 |
| Kernel | audacious keeps opening a new audacious cleint for each mp3 i play...instead of opening in the current audacious which is open. | 22:10 |
| Githzerai | Kernel: banshee is a gtk/gnome app so quite logicaly needs many gtk/gnome packages to work. Try kde based players like noatun or juk | 22:10 |
| Kernel | so i listen to 5 mp3'a.....i have 5 diff audacious windows open | 22:10 |
| Kernel | well i want a small easy to use player.....i really prefer xmms..but it is no longer availible... :( | 22:11 |
| Kernel | audacious seemed like a good alternative....but its not working right. | 22:11 |
| dwidmann|sleep | Kernel: noatun fits that description, it can't get any more simplistic than it | 22:11 |
| dwidmann|sleep | Kernel: and look at the xmms2 package | 22:12 |
| Kernel | dwidmann|sleep: i did install xmms2....it does nothing | 22:12 |

| Kernel | i dont see any options for file settings | 23:14 |
| Kernel | im using...um that new file manager | 23:14 |
| Kernel | dolphin?... | 23:14 |
| jussi01 | timboy: not sure - you could try... | 23:14 |
| Kernel | also in dolphin....everytime i change dirs..i have to goto view>show hidden files....its VERY annoying. | 23:14 |
| Kernel | can i make it auto show hidden files? | 23:15 |
| Chrysalis | i just use konqueror ;/ | 23:15 |
| Kernel | hmm yea...i like konq way more. | 23:15 |
| Kernel | mabey ill use that instead of dolphin.... | 23:16 |
| Chrysalis | pull the navigation pannel out "F9" and save view profile in 'window' | 23:16 |
| Chrysalis | konq rocks | 23:16 |
| Kernel | in konq or dolphin? | 23:17 |
| Chrysalis | konq | 23:17 |
| Chrysalis | it also has a media tab, to drop your mp3s in | 23:18 |
| Kernel | ah i got it working good now in konq. thanks Chrysalis | 23:20 |
| timboy | jussi01, just wanted to give you an update added the & after the script and worked without a hitch. thx again | 23:20 |
| Chrysalis | Kernel, play around with the different view profiles and the navigation pannel to get them how you like, there really isnt much you cant do in konq once you figure it out | 23:22 |
| Chrysalis | viewing man pages with 'man:/' is also really usefull | 23:23 |
| Chrysalis | in konq | 23:23 |
| Kernel | right. konq is what im used to using..been using it around 4-5 years....i just though that dolphin was supposed to be better and newer with cooler features...and seeing how i just switched distros..i figured now is a good time to give it a shot....but yuck..not liking it | 23:24 |
| Kernel | yea or smb:/ | 23:24 |
| Kernel | browse local shares... | 23:24 |

| dwidmann|sleep | I've got a question, if anyone has any idea. That horrible thing called flash, does anybody know if with the beta for version 10 if it won't hang my browser if there are too many instances of it (ie: lots of flash in lots of tabs) | 23:43 |
| Chrysalis | 64bit? | 23:49 |
| dwidmann|sleep | Yes. | 23:52 |
| === dwidmann|sleep is now known as dwidmann | ||
| Chrysalis | is teh nswrapper or something like that thats eating yor resources | 23:53 |
| dwidmann | I don't think so ... Besides, it's quite the powerful machine, it would take quite a lot to fill 2GiB of memory | 23:54 |
| Chrysalis | ill suggest trying 32bit flash | 23:55 |
| dwidmann | It is 32-bit flash .... 64-bit browser, nspluginwrapper in use. | 23:57 |
| dwidmann | Also, I already have ... solutions available, I was just making an inquiry about flash 10 | 23:57 |
| Chrysalis | no idea, was just wondering what you were using cause i had the same problem on a few 64bit machines with nspluginwrapper, it doesnt close properly and hogs your machines... switching back to 32bit fixed it on all | 23:59 |
