| genii | SuperMonster: Likely the boot image doesn't know what kind of driver to use for the device it is booting from. If you have an external USB enclosure with cd I'd try install from there. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| SuperMonster | Enclousure ? | 00:01 |
| dedi_ | genii: tried it, no luck | 00:02 |
| genii | SuperMonster: External box | 00:02 |
| genii | dedi_: I'm out of immediate ideas on it then | 00:02 |
| SuperMonster | genii: I have 2 external USB2 hard drives, and 2 networked computers. | 00:03 |
| genii | SuperMonster: You could plug a CD drive into the ribbon of one of the external hd boxes instead of the hd and try from there. | 00:04 |
| SuperMonster | genii: I didn't have this error back on my old p2 system. Or I did, and I restarted and it'd load without errors. I don't understand what is the big deal now. | 00:05 |
| genii | SuperMonster: I had this same issue with Asus p5k motherboard, the cd install always choked when it tried to decide what IDE/SATA driver to use. But it got finished when I used the external CD | 00:05 |
| SuperMonster | genii: Perhaps I should disconnect all non-needed devices to see if it boots ? | 00:05 |
| dedi_ | genii: thanks anyway :) i will remove gnome :D just trying to find out whats the best way to remove the most but dont break gnome apps | 00:05 |
| SuperMonster | genii: Such as the external HDs ? | 00:06 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Since the installer has drivers for external USB devices built in it works right off. From external hd I have not tried however, just external CD | 00:06 |
| SuperMonster | genii: are you saying to hook one of my ribbon cables in to one of my other computers ? | 00:08 |
| SuperMonster | (CD drives) | 00:08 |
| genii | SuperMonster: You said you have 2 external USB2 hard drives, yes? | 00:09 |
| SuperMonster | Yes. | 00:09 |
| genii | SuperMonster: If so, you can open up the box, unhook the HD that is in it. Then plug into there a CD unit instead | 00:09 |
| genii | Then try install from that | 00:09 |
| SuperMonster | Both the computer, and the External hard drives are under warenty. | 00:10 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Ah, then perhaps not | 00:10 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Is the other computer already running a linux? | 00:10 |
| SuperMonster | The other computers are used by other family members. | 00:11 |
| SuperMonster | So no. | 00:11 |
| genii | OK | 00:11 |
| genii | I was going to suggest a netboot way instead but you'd have to commandeer one of their boxes for that | 00:11 |
| SuperMonster | I could take one over when they aren't grabing around. Yes, but not install linux on them. | 00:12 |
| genii | SuperMonster: You can use livecd actually for netboot way. You need 2 cd drives in the box for this way though | 00:13 |
| genii | One for livecd, one for installing to remote box with | 00:13 |
| SuperMonster | My old P2 system has 2 CD drives | 00:14 |
| SuperMonster | CD-ROM and a CD-RW | 00:14 |
| SuperMonster | The CD-ROM is shady though | 00:14 |
| genii | SuperMonster: That would work, if the CDROM holds up. | 00:14 |
| SuperMonster | That is very unlikley, sometimes it wont even open anymore. And sometimes it doesn't read. So I just unplugged it. | 00:15 |
| djmaze | As a developer and Fedora user i have a few questions regarding kubuntu. Any project insider around? | 00:16 |
| genii | djmaze: Perhaps enquire in #kubuntu-devel #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu | 00:18 |
| djmaze | thanks will look there | 00:18 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Hmm. Did you try Alternate CD yet? It may give something informative on the stdout console of alt-f4 which could help decide what the problem is | 00:19 |
| SuperMonster | No. I just used the CDs I got from shipit or whatever | 00:20 |
| genii | SuperMonster: I would suggest d/l the alternate cd (unless impossible like on dialup or so) and attempt install from there | 00:21 |
| SuperMonster | One person said I could try using "F1" for some boot options ? | 00:21 |
| genii | SuperMonster: The cd has some primitive help on it there, kernel options you could tell it or such. But probably nothing useful in this specific instance | 00:22 |
| SuperMonster | And I have sat, so I have a daily "FAP" | 00:24 |
| SuperMonster | What would the alternative CD have the current shiped one doesn't BTW? | 00:30 |
| _2 | !alternate | 00:30 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 00:30 |
| Pici | Its not a LiveCD | 00:32 |
| SuperMonster | So it has a better chance of working? | 00:32 |
| genii | Yes, with more hardware drivers | 00:33 |
| * _2 wonders what means "LiveCD" | 00:33 | |
| SuperMonster | So the install will not be graphical and such ? | 00:34 |
| genii | Text, yes | 00:34 |
| _2 | the installer will not have pictures. the installed system should. | 00:35 |
| SuperMonster | OK | 00:35 |
| SuperMonster | LOL yeah of course. | 00:35 |
| genii | _2: livecd runs the actual OS from itself. The alternate and server cd don't do this, only install the system | 00:35 |
| _2 | genii then the alternate install CD is a "LiveCD" | 00:35 |
| genii | _2: No, it doesn't run (k)ubuntu off the cd only installs it | 00:36 |
| _2 | genii they both "alternate and server" run the ubuntu/linux system | 00:36 |
| _2 | yes it does. | 00:36 |
| genii | Mine don't | 00:36 |
| _2 | it doesn't start a gui but the *buntu system is running. | 00:36 |
| _2 | boot the thing and press alt+f2 | 00:36 |
| genii | Well you can get busybox | 00:37 |
| genii | But thats not a fullblown system | 00:37 |
| === root is now known as Guest15466 | ||
| _2 | is it "busybox" ? | 00:37 |
| genii | Yes | 00:37 |
| _2 | sense what versiom ? | 00:37 |
| _2 | certenly didn't used to be | 00:38 |
| SuperMonster | So do I need the "server edition" or is the alternative CD labeled still "alternative" | 00:38 |
| genii | my 6.06 through current all have busybox on console 2 and 3 for instance and a stdout on console 4 | 00:38 |
| === sea is now known as sea4ever | ||
| genii | SuperMonster: Alternate is better for you, the server cd installs apache,mysql and php and ni gui | 00:39 |
| genii | *no gui | 00:39 |
| SuperMonster | Yeah, never mind that. | 00:40 |
| _2 | genii hmmm busybox shell but at any rate that is even a "live system" but i'll not persue this any farther | 00:40 |
| SuperMonster | BTW: "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." | 00:40 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Thats the one | 00:41 |
| SuperMonster | Yeah I was just clearing up that mumbo jumbo said that confused the hell out of me :-) | 00:41 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Anyhow, if install is failing on text install, you can toggle to 4th console with alt-f4 to see what messages it's spitting out,, which could be informative. You can return to install screen with alt-f1 | 00:43 |
| SuperMonster | So this would be better than "Hey, I messed up and sent you to BusyBox" ? | 00:43 |
| SuperMonster | And actual get me somewhere on what the issue was? | 00:43 |
| genii | Yes, hopefully :) | 00:44 |
| SuperMonster | I am guessing I can download whatever Ubuntu I want, and use whatever graphical interface later , KDE,Gnome,etc? | 00:44 |
| SuperMonster | and the outcome of the error should be the same ? | 00:44 |
| SuperMonster | (since it is now) | 00:45 |
| genii | SuperMonster: All the normal discs have a common base install, then ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop as a package which decides if gnome xfce or kde. The server install is a special case which uses another method called tasksel | 00:47 |
| === Lasher is now known as Sooley | ||
| genii | I put xubuntu-desktop twice, one of those should be kubuntu-desktop :) | 00:48 |
| _2 | and all the other *buntu's | 00:49 |
| SuperMonster | I don't see the alternative CD on shipit, bleh. | 00:49 |
| genii | SuperMonster: I know. I wish they would ship those | 00:49 |
| SuperMonster | genii: I wish they'd ship Xubuntu also. | 00:50 |
| genii | SuperMonster: For now only Gnome and KDE are official versions | 00:50 |
| di48lo_ | how do I change the boot sound? | 00:50 |
| SuperMonster | genii: Xubuntu isn't "offical" ? | 00:50 |
| genii | SuperMonster: Not as far as I know | 00:51 |
| SuperMonster | I thought it was, just not Fluxubuntu or whatever | 00:51 |
| * SuperMonster shrugs | 00:51 | |

| epimeth | hi guys... I'm pretty confused. I've installed openssh server a number of times without problems before, but it isn't working for me now | 01:02 |
| epimeth | the server is not responding to what seems to be *anything* | 01:02 |
| epimeth | ping requests just hang, as does the ssh request | 01:03 |
| dr_Willis | sounds almost like firewall rules. | 01:03 |
| epimeth | I didn't set any | 01:03 |
| dr_Willis | but i dont recall ever seeing ping just 'hang' | 01:03 |
| _2 | epimeth iptables -L | 01:03 |
| epimeth | and I know that none are configured by default | 01:03 |
| _2 | actually there are iptables rules by default they are just all "accept" | 01:04 |
| epimeth | all are policy ACCEPT | 01:04 |
| epimeth | _2: ^ | 01:04 |
| _2 | epimeth i'd sujest you purge it and reload it then. you may have a borked sshd_conf | 01:05 |
| massive | hey, is there someone that can tell me where i can find source file editor for cpp files in qt 4 ?? | 01:06 |
| epimeth | _2: how do I purge and reload? | 01:06 |
| lavacano201014 | OK, things have changed since I installed Kubuntu last time. | 01:07 |
| _2 | epimeth apt-get remove --purge openssh-* ;apt-get install ssh | 01:07 |
| _2 | as root of course | 01:07 |
| lavacano201014 | I reinstalled just because my hard drive filled up, and Amarok doesn't tell me it can't do MP3s the same way. | 01:07 |
| hsystemx | epimeth: sudo dpkg --purge PACKAGEname | 01:07 |
| epimeth | _2: ahh... I thought you meant the rules | 01:07 |
| Pici | lavacano201014: install the kubuntu-restricted-extras package | 01:08 |
| hsystemx | for reinstalling then just do apt- or aptitude stuff. | 01:08 |
| lavacano201014 | Pici: Thanks | 01:08 |
| Pici | lavacano201014: no problem :) | 01:08 |
| _2 | epimeth no they are telling you that iptables (firewall) is NOT the issue | 01:08 |
| * lavacano201014 will wait for the updater to finish then do so | 01:08 | |
| epimeth | lol... I know :-) | 01:09 |
| _2 | epimeth and testing your sshd on localhost is a good idea. it will also rule out upstream blockage | 01:09 |
| dr_Willis | ssh issue wouldent be affecting ping however.. | 01:09 |
| dr_Willis | yes. need to determine if its a server issue, or local box issue. | 01:09 |
| _2 | ping ? i must have missed that | 01:10 |
| epimeth | so here's the thing... sshing localhost works | 01:10 |
| epimeth | yea, ping doesn't work either | 01:10 |
| dr_Willis | <epimeth> ping requests just hang, as does the ssh request | 01:10 |
| epimeth | yea | 01:10 |
| _2 | ok it's upstream | 01:10 |
| dr_Willis | you are ssh/pinging by ip? or by name? | 01:10 |
| _2 | step to the next gateway and test. | 01:10 |
| epimeth | by ip | 01:11 |
| epimeth | name doesn't work as I have not yet set up the dns | 01:11 |
| sky_ | hello everyone, I need some help, I installed kubuntu on my PC, when I install the ATI drivers (I have a radeon X700) the screen goes all black and I can't acess x server | 01:11 |
| dr_Willis | and the ip of the server is correct? :) Not a typo.. heh. | 01:11 |
| epimeth | I'm actually setting up the server now but since I'm borrowing the monitor and keyboard I want to get ssh working first | 01:11 |
| massive | edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:11 |
| _2 | !ati | sky_ | 01:12 |
| massive | i've x1600 and there were some problems | 01:12 |
| epimeth | dr_Willis: yea, its correct | 01:12 |
| sky_ | ok what do I edit ? | 01:12 |
| ubottu | sky_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:12 |
| _2 | dr_Willis i'll leave you and epimeth to sort that out, too many cooks can burn kool-aide ;/ | 01:13 |

| jhutchins_lt | !sata | 01:14 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sata | 01:14 |
| epimeth | dr_Willis: you still with me? :-( | 01:14 |
| dr_Willis | I got a grandbaby running around the house. i may have to run after him at any time. :) | 01:15 |
| dr_Willis | 2 yr olds are so fun. | 01:15 |
| dr_Willis | 'stop sticking a fork in the outlet!' :) | 01:15 |
| epimeth | _2: its okay, I can take multiple inputs :-) | 01:16 |
| dr_Willis | but im here for now. :) | 01:16 |
| dr_Willis | but im out of ideas. | 01:16 |
| epimeth | dr_Willis: awww | 01:16 |
| epimeth | dr_Willis: and you're the grandad so you can spoil him/her rotten! | 01:16 |
| dr_Willis | Yep. | 01:18 |
| epimeth | lets add some weirdness now! I ssh from the server to the client successfully and then I can ssh from the client back to the server successfully | 01:19 |
| dr_Willis | I think its time to enable verbose logging for the ssh server. :) can you ping sucessfully now? | 01:19 |
| dr_Willis | verbose logging for the client also - may help.. its sounding very weird.. Your dog dident chew on the network cables did it? | 01:20 |
| epimeth | not at all | 01:20 |
| epimeth | what network cables? what dog, for that matter? | 01:20 |
| epimeth | :-) | 01:20 |
| epimeth | but yea.... no ping, and now I can't ssh into the client | 01:21 |
| epimeth | wtf?!?!? | 01:21 |
| dr_Willis | So this is a wireless network? | 01:21 |
| dr_Willis | Dident turn on the microwave? | 01:21 |
| dr_Willis | Ive about totally given up on wireless for now. | 01:21 |
| epimeth | I was wrong... it was just slow | 01:22 |
| epimeth | okay, so I'm connected to the laptop (client) from the server now | 01:22 |
| epimeth | laptop is wireless, server is wired | 01:22 |
| epimeth | hrm... now it *is* responding to pings?!?! | 01:22 |
| epimeth | and now it isn't | 01:23 |
| epimeth | garr | 01:24 |
| di48lo_ | how do I change the look of the main toolbar in kde4? | 01:30 |
| === sea is now known as sea4ever | ||
| epimeth | thanks anyway, guys... I gotta run | 01:33 |
| epimeth | di48lo_: click on the icon thingy on the right of the toolbar | 01:33 |
| sponix | anyone else in here have issues with k3b 1.0.4 kdelibs 3.5.9 ? Laptop stops burning DVD's and errors at 50% all the time, and Desktop the drive itself gives a scsi hardware error, and fails to respond after burning 1 DVD, have to reboot the box to get the DVD drive to respond again ... Using Ubuntu 8.04.1 | 01:43 |
| _2 | 2 yr olds indeed. and the stop sticking the fork in the outlet thingy makes me think. i'm more of a tell them what will happen if they do it, and that it will hurt, and then; if they still want to, let them. seems much more efficent to me. going around trying to make life "safe" is futile in the first place and in the second place they will figure out how to remove the safty cover and stick the fork in there anyway. a | 01:44 |
| _2 | sponix file a bug and check the bug reports | 01:44 |
| sponix | just find it hard to believe that no one else is having the same issues | 01:45 |
| _2 | if they are, what makes you think they will be in here right now ? | 01:46 |
| sky_ | hey I got it ??? | 01:46 |

| _2 | open source people have been screeming that for two decades it's just not being heard. | 01:49 |
| genii | sponix: My reply from #ubuntu-offtopic to you: [20:46:55] <genii> sponix: I find if you have verifying on and it's alaptop drive which doesn't respond to the command it gives to eject and reload, it halts at 50% | 01:49 |
| * genii screems some more for good measure | 01:51 | |
| _2 | :) | 01:52 |
| _2 | it's just not being heard | 01:52 |
| sponix | genii: yeah, that is a good call, but I don't have it set to verify, and it truely is only a 50% burn, the DVD is unreadable/unusable after | 01:53 |
| sponix | genii: good thought though | 01:53 |
| genii | sponix: Perhaps you only have 2Gb (half a DVD's worth) of swap space or combo of available ram/swap space | 01:57 |
| _2 | genii what would that have to do with it ? i use k3b with no swap and only 256m ram /tmp might affect it but ram/swap ? | 01:58 |
| sponix | genii: another good though, but my root / and crap / both have well over 4G free, and this box has 2G of ram with nothing going... | 01:59 |
| genii | _2: I had this issue previously when burning cds when swap was less than 700Mb. dunno why | 02:00 |
| _2 | genii hmm in hardy ? | 02:00 |
| genii | _2: Feisty actually | 02:01 |
| _2 | maybe some "write to ram" special trick they tried in that version ? idk. never saw any such an issue. | 02:02 |
| sponix | hmm, I do only have 2G of Swap, but never had an issue prior | 02:02 |
| _2 | sponix test if you want to. sudo swapoff -a and try to burn one. that should tell if that's the cause or not. | 02:03 |
| sponix | the default gnome burning app Brasero (or whatever) seems to do just fine on my desktop, it doesn't lock the drive, and haven't tried it on this laptop to see if it does past 50% burns yet though | 02:03 |
| di48lo | how do I change the boot sound?? | 02:05 |
| _2 | there is a size limitation on swap and on ram kernel can only access so much reguardless of what is actually there. you might setup 20T of swap space but only 4g (i386) will be accessable iirc | 02:06 |
| _2 | system settings system sounds | 02:06 |
| sponix | _2: yeah, worth a shot on the 50% burn thing... Seems strange though, because a lot of systems don't even use swap these days | 02:08 |
| fkm | di48lo, "System Settings" > "Notifications" > "System Notifications" > "KDE is starting up" | 02:08 |
| di48lo | I dont seem to have an option there for start sound | 02:08 |
| _2 | sponix i haven't used swap in several years (excption being photo editing which needs more ram than i actually have) | 02:09 |
| magic_ninja | how is kde these days | 02:10 |
| _2 | di48lo what kde ? | 02:10 |
| _2 | magic_ninja healthy wealthy and wise | 02:10 |
| _2 | well maybe no so wealthy | 02:11 |
| magic_ninja | i've noticed quite a few of the best apps out there are for kde, i was thinking about trying it out | 02:11 |
| _2 | and maybe not so wise | 02:11 |
| _2 | maybe i should have just said "fat and sassy" | 02:11 |
| Pici | For KDE? Most applications are not tied to a specific DE | 02:11 |
| magic_ninja | what is it....kubuntu-desktop | 02:11 |
| _2 | magic_ninja if you want the ubuntu'ized fell then yes, else "kde" | 02:12 |
| magic_ninja | Pici, they aren't, but you can tell the differences | 02:12 |
| _2 | yeah tied to "gtk" or to "qt" | 02:13 |
| di48lo | so anyone got any tips on how to change my boot sound? | 02:13 |
| di48lo | kde4-kubuntu-compiz | 02:13 |
| magic_ninja | damn 500mb | 02:14 |
| _2 | di48lo ah kde4 | 02:14 |
| _2 | !kde4 | di48lo | 02:14 |
| ubottu | di48lo: 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 | 02:14 |
| di48lo | yeah | 02:14 |
| magic_ninja | that package isn't found di48lo | 02:14 |
| di48lo | hmm, so I can't? | 02:15 |
| _2 | di48lo Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 02:15 |
| di48lo | I used to use mandriva and there were sweet menus for all this stuff but am having trouble finding this setting | 02:15 |
| _2 | if you ask in there. you "might" get an answer | 02:15 |
| di48lo | cheers guys | 02:16 |
| _2 | what's wrong with this statement "On computers, optical discs were originally intended for storing video." | 02:19 |
| _2 | sounds like a third graders sciense report. | 02:20 |

| sponix | _2: know where it dumps the sources ? | 02:41 |
| grinias | scripted_: df -h from a konsole | 02:42 |
| _2 | sponix /usr/src by defautl | 02:42 |
| scripted_ | ty | 02:42 |
| sponix | _2: actually, seems it dumped k3b in CWD ;) | 02:43 |
| _2 | there is a gui "pie chart" type disk usage thingy i don't recall it's name | 02:43 |
| _2 | sponix heh cool | 02:43 |
| scripted_ | even the command to get the usage is helpful thanx. | 02:43 |
| _2 | df == disk free du == disk usage | 02:44 |
| _2 | du -sh | 02:44 |
| sponix | _2: so, if I do apt-get build-dep k3b, and it installs all those deps, will apt-get autoremove or apt-get remove build-dep k3b do anything for me to unclutter my system ? | 02:44 |
| _2 | ^ that will show space used in the $PWD | 02:44 |
| scripted_ | thanks. its just taken me hours to install xfi soundcard driver and winmx. | 02:45 |
| scripted_ | didnt fancy spending another couple of hours trying to find out | 02:45 |
| _2 | sponix sorry you lost me at the third left turn | 02:45 |
| scripted_ | bbl | 02:47 |
| scripted_ | thanks again | 02:48 |
| _2 | sponix ok i have reread that Q a few times. short answer is idk. | 02:48 |
| _2 | sponix if it doesn't try installing and useing deborphan alternatively debfoster is quite handy. | 02:49 |
| R2LM | How do you use Pulseaudio in Kubuntu? When I go to Kmenu > KDE System Settings > Sound System > Hardware, and where I select the audio device (ALSA, OSS, etc) there's no Pulseaudio listed. Don't I need to specify it here? | 02:55 |

| _2 | i do find the occasional "flash" site that i just can't see... | 03:32 |
| dr_Willis | I did find a site the other day that had a Anti-virus popup/animation that made it look like it was scanning your suste, and finding viruses. | 03:32 |

| spiel_mit_feuer | quick question.. is it better to have your /home partition as primary or logical? | 03:36 |
| genii | Primary | 03:36 |
| _2 | genii oh yes. i see it, but eariler that wasint the case. | 03:36 |
| _2 | spiel_mit_feuer depends on how you setup the rest of the disk actually | 03:37 |
| _2 | there is a limit on primary partitions | 03:37 |
| hsystemx | damn i love konsole ... adept is unstable... prefer typing apt... | 03:37 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | there will be only 3 partitions.., /, /home, and swap | 03:37 |
| dr_Willis | spiel_mit_feuer, it dozsent really matter. I tend to use all primaries. since i dont use more then 4 partitions. | 03:37 |
| _2 | i personally don't use either/any partitions | 03:37 |
| genii | I just don't like that logical partitions get messy if you have to try and revover data from there later | 03:38 |
| _2 | spiel_mit_feuer i'm with dr_Willis on your answer there, if you only intend three, it doesn't really matter then | 03:38 |
| genii | *recover | 03:38 |
| _2 | genii heh. yeah but: you aren't supposed to be "having to recover" data :) | 03:39 |
| _2 | backups backups backups nothing can replace backups | 03:40 |
| dr_Willis | "Redundant array of fileservers" | 03:40 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | so.. should my /home be primary or logical though? | 03:40 |
| dr_Willis | for all my.. err.. vacation videos.. backing up | 03:40 |
| dr_Willis | spiel_mit_feuer, it does not matter. | 03:40 |
| dr_Willis | spiel_mit_feuer, may be easier in the long run to make it primary | 03:41 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | ok | 03:41 |
| _2 | dr_Willis questionable vacation you have there :))) | 03:41 |
| genii | I actually have raid1 boot drives, then 5 disk raid5 for my data | 03:41 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | can i convert a logical to primary or no? | 03:41 |
| dr_Willis | its Research! Honest! | 03:41 |
| dr_Willis | spiel_mit_feuer, Not sure.. i always use primaries when i can | 03:41 |

| Agent_bob | copple of things that i hadn't "ripped" to foss yet needed attention. that's all | 03:47 |
| dr_Willis | wife was doign that for ages.. :) easier for me to 'backup' her windows setup that way and move it to new machines | 03:47 |
| Agent_bob | yeah and the hardware doesn't change either | 03:48 |
| * Agent_bob remember the M$-reboot-os from years gone by | 03:48 | |
| dr_Willis | a few times she would crash to linux, and get confused. :) I had her login to linux, auto start a minimal window manager, and vmware front end, | 03:49 |
| Agent_bob | dr_Willis why didn't you put the startup script into a loop that would check for a break command to bail out on | 03:50 |
| Agent_bob | then a crash would just restart the reboot-os | 03:50 |
| dr_Willis | I put a large icon on her desktop for her to run :) then she discovered pysol on the linux 'os under the os' and she started playing it more | 03:51 |

| dr_Willis | ive seen a lot of 'casual games' being sold that are 'redone/enhanced' classics :) like the old 'robots' game. | 03:57 |
| Agent_bob | mini-putt is so uhh why not real golf ? | 03:57 |

| frybye | Hi all... | 06:35 |
| frybye | with kubuntu 8:04 and both kde3 and 4.1 when I switch to full-screen for stuff from youtube etc the refresh rate is abismal.. very slow.. in a window the video play is fine - just in full screen terrible - any ideas??? | 06:36 |
| frybye | I have a amd- x2 and a nvidia 8500gs with 256mb gra-ram - which should be well enough to give a fluid video-play in full screen... | 06:37 |
| frybye | the restricted nvidia drivers are installed... | 06:38 |
| panfist | i'm in the middle of a kubuntu installation right now, it got to about 90% and then it said "failed to install grub on hd0." the first two partitions on this disk are NTFS with windows on them. if i skip installing grub, my old bootloader should still be there and i can still get into windows and add kubuntu to the bootloader later, right? | 06:40 |
| z0omal1 | glad2cu | 06:42 |
| frybye | panfist.. du you have -one- version of windows installed.. ie - vista -or- xp -- I had hellish problems trying to add kubutu as a 3rd o.s. with xp -and- vista... | 06:43 |
| frybye | so who has an idea about this problem with full-screen video not working when in a window it is fine??? | 06:43 |
| frybye | panfist - the only real soloution to this was when I bought another pc and installed kubuntu on that... | 06:44 |
| panfist | fry no unfortunately i have xp and vista, i can live without one of them for now tho as long as i can get at least one and kubuntu | 06:45 |

| Davou | hello hello room | 07:07 |
| frybye | hmmm... I seem to have found the soloution to my problem with missing full-screen video.. I used synaptic and saw that i only had the base packet for mplayer installed and not the mplay for kde installed.. done that and it works now.. coool... | 07:07 |
| Davou | should I take a ticket? | 07:07 |

| flaccid_ | for most people thats going to be port forwarding | 12:38 |
| sigma | flaccid_: where do i do that? | 12:38 |
| flaccid_ | on your router/firewall? there is none in ubuntu by default so it usually comes down to your wan connection | 12:39 |
| flaccid_ | its a simple forward of port 80 tcp to the ubuntu server | 12:39 |
| scripted | hey.. can i ask why amarok wont find my music. ? they are mp3's in an ntfs drive is this why? | 12:42 |

| scripted | its amarok im using. no errors just says biulding collection. but only 5 tracks are displayed | 12:43 |

| flaccid_ | !pastebin | Guest52183 | 12:55 |

| Guest52183 | sorry what am i suppossed to do, im a bit of a noob | 12:57 |
| flaccid_ | Guest52183: you goto that site above, create a new paste and paste the output of sudo fdisk -l; cat /boot/grub/menu.lst and then you paste the URL here so we can look. this is for pastes that are more than 3 lines | 12:58 |
| Guest52183 | you are a really helpful person flaccid, so I thank you for your patience and help | 12:58 |
| Guest52183 | okay i will give it a go | 12:58 |
| flaccid_ | np | 12:58 |
| Guest52183 | i put that code in terminal correct | 12:58 |
| Guest52183 | then i paste it in the ubuntu paste bin? | 12:59 |
| flaccid_ | Guest52183: yeah so sudo fdisk -l; cat /boot/grub/menu.lst in konsole and paste it to pastebin | 12:59 |
| Guest52183 | its huge | 12:59 |
| Guest52183 | you sure you want it all | 13:00 |
| flaccid_ | Guest52183: yes in the pastebin, not here in the channel, thus the reason for pastebin | 13:00 |

| flaccid_ | hmmm doesn't detect your win system | 13:10 |
| Guest52183 | thats funny because it shows up as a hdd and i can get ointo it as well | 13:11 |
| Guest52183 | the folders and all are still there | 13:11 |
| flaccid_ | well not really. grub is totally different from the OS. | 13:11 |
| Guest52183 | oh | 13:11 |
| Guest52183 | so vista gone? | 13:12 |
| flaccid_ | no, its boot entry is and update-grub does not detect, so we put in manual | 13:12 |
| Guest52183 | oh okay | 13:12 |
| flaccid_ | Guest52183: have a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/28704/ . now copy that and paste it after this line in your current /boot/grub/menu.list : ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST | 13:14 |
| flaccid_ | just leave a blank line above and below what i pasted .. | 13:14 |
| flaccid_ | after you have done that, reboot and try selecting it from the boot menu | 13:15 |

| flaccid_ | Guest52183: i assume so | 13:35 |
| Guest52183 | so then i go save and exit? | 13:35 |

| BSG75 | all part of the fun of learning :) | 14:07 |
| flaccid_ | i've been smoking and drinking all night but hey annoying line numbers in pastebins don't help anyone | 14:07 |
| BSG75 | soon you will be helping others and that's just the bestest part of linux :p | 14:07 |
| Guest10151 | what | 14:07 |
| BSG75 | flaccid_: LOL flaccid .. so true | 14:07 |
| Guest10151 | what did i do | 14:08 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: just at the bottom. line numbers from other paste thats all | 14:08 |
| BSG75 | flaccid_: did I tell you, I got compiz-fusion to run perfectly with kde4.1 last night :) | 14:08 |
| flaccid_ | so if your menu.lst is as above in my pastebin then sweet as | 14:08 |
| Guest10151 | im not used to working with text and stuff, im a windows noob | 14:09 |
| flaccid_ | BSG75: driver? | 14:09 |
| Guest10151 | hence why i want to start using linux | 14:09 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: just work with it under kdesudo kate and sweet | 14:09 |
| BSG75 | flacced_: no the whole wm instead of Kwin | 14:09 |
| Guest10151 | so i paste what you gave me over what i have and it will fix it? | 14:09 |
| flaccid_ | BSG75: yes. i am asking which video driver? | 14:10 |
| BSG75 | flaccid_: sorry nVidia | 14:10 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: in theory, yes. backup the menu.lst first: sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup | 14:10 |
| flaccid_ | BSG75: yeah nvidia = no problems | 14:10 |
| flaccid_ | well close to none anyway | 14:11 |
| Guest10151 | how do you know all these commands and they work? | 14:11 |
| Guest10151 | and where do i put what you just gave me? in terminal? | 14:11 |
| BSG75 | flaccid_: hopefully ati will be better now that it's supporting OS :) .. I went back to Kwin though .. | 14:11 |
| BSG75 | I want to see what kde does in default mode | 14:12 |
| Guest10151 | okay i did that in terminal and it saved it i think | 14:12 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: experience i hope. so what you need to do is run this in alt+f2 : kdesudo /boot/grub/menu.lst and then edit/add | 14:12 |
| Guest10151 | alt f2? | 14:12 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: its the same thing you did, but no line numbers. so if you compare the difference between mine and yours paste.. | 14:12 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: alt+f2 by default is run command | 14:13 |
| Guest10151 | okay so the one you gave me put it in that | 14:13 |
| flaccid_ | well im confused sorry | 14:13 |
| Guest10151 | so am i | 14:13 |
| flaccid_ | [23:06] <flaccid_> Guest10151: not your fault. just make it like this and reboot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28713/ | 14:13 |
| flaccid_ | see the above pastebin. make your /boot/grub/menu.lst exactly like it via kdesudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst then reboot | 14:14 |
| scripted | You don't seem to be running an X server (no DISPLAY set). | 14:14 |
| scripted | what does that mean? | 14:14 |
| flaccid_ | i don't know how simpler i can make it | 14:14 |
| Guest10151 | okay so you know how the line number goes down to 154 do i put what you gave me in paste bin over the top of whats in menu lst kate? | 14:14 |
| Guest10151 | numbers and all | 14:14 |
| flaccid_ | scripted: probably running a script that needs X but can't get to it | 14:14 |
| flaccid_ | Guest10151: negative. NEGATE all line numbers. no numbers at the start of each line.. | 14:15 |
| wesley | i get errors by mounting that sda3 | 14:15 |

| noober | do you know anything about networking with windows i cant seem to access the other computer in samba | 14:41 |
| noober | hi | 14:41 |
| flaccid_ | !samba | noober | 14:41 |
| ubottu | noober: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 14:41 |
| flaccid_ | needs to be installed and set up first ^^ | 14:41 |
| noober | oh | 14:41 |
| noober | so how we set it up? | 14:42 |
| flaccid_ | read above | 14:42 |
| noober | hmm | 14:42 |
| noober | k | 14:42 |
| flaccid_ | hmm thats a bit crap | 14:43 |
| flaccid_ | 1sec | 14:43 |
| flaccid_ | noober: you want to set up samba server on ubuntu box right? | 14:43 |
| noober | indeed | 14:43 |
| noober | i can actually see the other computer just cant connect | 14:44 |
| noober | also updating samba | 14:44 |
| flaccid_ | i was going to amend the wiki, but i cannot due to a login but which is reported but not resolved. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=samba&titlesearch=Titles try them | 14:44 |
| flaccid_ | noober: oh, then its the other way around | 14:44 |
| flaccid_ | you want to connect to a samba server? | 14:44 |
| noober | whats the other way around | 14:44 |
| MementoMori | hi | 14:44 |
| noober | i want to connect to the other computers | 14:45 |
| noober | which i can see, they run xp | 14:45 |
| flaccid_ | noober: that is done out of the box, nothing to do | 14:45 |
| flaccid_ | noober: whats the error?? | 14:45 |
| noober | hang on | 14:45 |
| noober | i hope its not a windows thing on the other computer which i suspect it is | 14:45 |
| flaccid_ | its likely | 14:45 |
| noober | the file or folder smb://i? does not exist | 14:46 |
| flaccid_ | noober: is i the host? | 14:46 |
| noober | host of what? | 14:46 |
| === root is now known as Guest90635 | ||
| flaccid_ | the samba server | 14:47 |
| noober | no | 14:47 |
| flaccid_ | then whats the go | 14:47 |
| noober | it is the other computer aa want to connect to | 14:47 |
| flaccid_ | yes that is called a host | 14:47 |
| noober | i is other computer running xp | 14:47 |
| flaccid_ | thats not a good hostname. nevertheless, what does host i return in konsole? | 14:48 |
| flaccid_ | the command is: host i | 14:48 |
| noober | hang on, what would i type? | 14:48 |
| noober | way ahead of me | 14:48 |
| noober | Host i not found: 2(SERVFAIL) | 14:49 |
| flaccid_ | noober: yep so resolution is your problem | 14:50 |
| flaccid_ | noober: have you tried with the ip instead of hostname? | 14:50 |
| noober | can you tell me why i or AAnot a good host name? | 14:50 |
| MementoMori | noober: can you access the server with smb://server_ip from dolphin/konqueror? | 14:50 |
| noober | woah there to much info | 14:50 |
| flaccid_ | noober: single characters is not a good practice. but each to their own.. | 14:50 |
| noober | slow down please | 14:50 |
| noober | okay thanks for the explanation | 14:50 |
| flaccid_ | try the ip and get back to us :) | 14:50 |
| noober | which ip? host? | 14:51 |
| flaccid_ | noober: you should know that | 14:51 |
| noober | i know mine' | 14:51 |
| flaccid_ | smb://ip_of_computer_in_question as MementoMori advised | 14:51 |
| noober | why should i know it | 14:51 |
| noober | im nobber | 14:51 |
| noober | noober | 14:51 |
| flaccid_ | noober: because we assume you are admin | 14:52 |
| noober | oh i see your message , see mementomori | 14:52 |
| noober | nice | 14:52 |
| flaccid_ | eg. smb://192.168.0.50 | 14:53 |
| flaccid_ | instead of smb://flaccidrocks | 14:53 |
| noober | yeh just tried that | 14:53 |
| flaccid_ | awesome | 14:53 |
| noober | smb://192.168.1.6: No such file or directory | 14:53 |
| flaccid_ | noober: where are you putting that? | 14:53 |
| MementoMori | noober: is the samba server (the windows pc) in your lan segment or is there a router beetween the client and the server? | 14:53 |
| noober | terminal | 14:53 |
| noober | oh ffs | 14:53 |
| flaccid_ | noober: no this is for konqueror | 14:53 |
| noober | sory noober | 14:54 |
| flaccid_ | smb for terminal is much more complicated. for now you just want to use konqueror. | 14:54 |
| MementoMori | noober: you can try to ping your lan broadcast address to discover pc online | 14:55 |
| noober | time out on server | 14:55 |
| noober | is error | 14:55 |
| MementoMori | noober: what's your lan ip? | 14:55 |
| noober | for this comp AA | 14:56 |
| flaccid_ | noober: find the IP of the server you want to connect to and goto konqueror and put in smb://IP_of_Server | 14:56 |
| flaccid_ | AA ? | 14:56 |
| noober | sorry this is confusing | 14:56 |
| flaccid_ | if it fails. contact the admin of the computer | 14:56 |
| flaccid_ | indeed | 14:56 |
| olimpico | How can I change the character encoding of KDE? | 14:56 |
| olimpico | I have googled for hours and found nothing! | 14:57 |
| flaccid_ | olimpico: try #kde | 14:57 |
| MementoMori | olimpico: | 14:58 |
| noober | okay i put ip address in konquer and it still says the same thing | 14:58 |
| MementoMori | olimpico: system setting -> regional and settings ->spell check | 14:58 |
| Mojo_risin | hi guys. doesn't kaffeine plays .mov videos? i can hear only sound :( | 14:58 |
| noober | timeout on server | 14:59 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: you are missing the video codec | 15:00 |
| flaccid_ | noober: if the IP is right, you can port scan it and also goto ##windows for help | 15:00 |
| olimpico | MementoMori: But that's only for Spellcheck, isn't it? | 15:00 |
| bjb1959 | any ideas if krfb is broken in kde 4.1 rc1? it starts disconnected and I have to use killall krfb to log off or reboot. | 15:00 |
| Mojo_risin | MementoMori: i don't think so, but what is the package anyway? | 15:01 |
| flaccid_ | bjb1959: wrong channel dude | 15:01 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: wait a min | 15:01 |
| Mojo_risin | ok | 15:01 |
| flaccid_ | i've had mov working fine in kaffeine but it still comes down to codecs and which ones | 15:02 |
| Mojo_risin | it seems someone is having the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=487197 | 15:03 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: try kubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-pitfdll | 15:03 |
| MementoMori | or only kubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs | 15:03 |
| Mojo_risin | MementoMori: ok | 15:03 |
| bjb1959 | flaccid_ no one seems to respond on the kubuntu-kde4 channel, any ideas about a good channel to go to? | 15:04 |
| flaccid_ | bjb1959: no ideas. | 15:04 |
| flaccid_ | lol | 15:04 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: you'll need to add medibuntu repository | 15:04 |
| hibread | hey guys. Is there a package that pulls in a whole heap of video/audio codecs? | 15:04 |
| * flaccid_ laughs his freeekin head off | 15:05 | |
| flaccid_ | hibread: not really no | 15:05 |
| Mojo_risin | MementoMori: yes, i'm noticing that, do you have the url? | 15:05 |
| MementoMori | hibread: kubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs from medibuntu | 15:05 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin, hibread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 15:06 |
| hibread | MementoMori: cheers for that | 15:08 |
| MementoMori | hibread: yrw | 15:08 |
| noober | I'm still here | 15:10 |
| Mojo_risin | MementoMori: ok, i installed the two packages but only sound still | 15:12 |
| Mojo_risin | have to restart anything? | 15:12 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: restart kaffeine | 15:12 |
| MementoMori | or run kaffeine --wizard from konsole to check your env | 15:12 |
| Mojo_risin | MementoMori: yeah, that one i did | 15:13 |
| Mojo_risin | ah cool | 15:13 |
| Mojo_risin | libdvdcss not found | 15:13 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: so install libdvdcss2 | 15:13 |
| Mojo_risin | installing... | 15:13 |
| MementoMori | Mojo_risin: you can try also installing vlc or mplayer | 15:15 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| Mojo_risin | MementoMori: mplayer work :) | 15:17 |
| noober | okay got contact with one of the computers, the other one says it still doesnt exist | 15:22 |

| DarkAudit | KDE 3.5 is still the preferred version for home desktop installs? | 15:26 |
| perihan | hello , i have problem with installing tomcat 5.5 I use both sun java and openjdk but when i tried to install tomcat through adept it said JAVA_HOME was not set | 15:27 |
| perihan | so i set it to point to openjdk | 15:28 |
| perihan | but still same error when i do sudo apt-get install -f | 15:28 |
| perihan | can anybody give an opinion please? | 15:28 |
| MementoMori | perihan: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/ | 15:28 |
| MrKennie | I was wondering, is it possible to use krdc with the desktop install CD? I'm looking into ways to install remotely. | 15:29 |
| MementoMori | MrKennie: just try | 15:30 |
| perihan | thanks mementoMori but my friend made it run with same method | 15:30 |
| perihan | i want to use adept | 15:30 |
| MementoMori | perihan: same or different? | 15:30 |
| MrKennie | MementoMori: OK =) Just I don't have any keyboard or monitor attacched right now, be kinda useful if it was enabeld by default. | 15:31 |
| perihan | same method with adept and setting JAVA_HOME manually | 15:31 |
| perihan | the problem is tomcat cannot see jre in JAVA_HOME | 15:31 |
| MementoMori | perihan: how did you set JAVA_HOME ? | 15:32 |
| perihan | export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk | 15:33 |
| MementoMori | perihan: you have to export it and then run adept (aptitude is better) | 15:33 |
| perihan | and i can access java with $JAVA_HOME/bin/java | 15:33 |
| perihan | but tomcat cannot | 15:33 |
| MementoMori | perihan: ok, then run sudo aptitude install what_you_need | 15:33 |
| perihan | i have installed tomcat but wasnt able to configure it cause it doesnt see my JAVA_HOME | 15:34 |
| MementoMori | perihan: so why you was talking about adept? | 15:35 |
| perihan | i first installed it via adept in kubuntu | 15:36 |
| perihan | but it gave an error while configuring | 15:36 |
| MementoMori | perihan: I dont want to install tomcat on my pc but you should check if inside /etc/init.d/tomcat you can set it | 15:36 |
| perihan | so i ran apt-get -f in konsole | 15:36 |
| MementoMori | perihan: so do you have it installed or not? | 15:36 |
| perihan | downloaded but not installed | 15:37 |
| MementoMori | so please run sudo aptitude install tomcat_packages and paste if you get errors | 15:38 |
| perihan | ok | 15:38 |
| MrKennie | well, the answer to using krdc to install is a no. | 15:38 |
| combo | how to launch eterm? it says it's not installed but i've just installed it and create user.cfg file :/ | 15:38 |
| MementoMori | MrKennie: why not? | 15:39 |
| MrKennie | MementoMori: it's not started, neither is SSH. | 15:39 |
| MementoMori | MrKennie: cant you start it manually? | 15:39 |
| MrKennie | if I have no keyboard or monitor attached, no. | 15:39 |
| perihan | here it is but a little bit long | 15:40 |
| MementoMori | MrKennie: same problem with alternate cd? | 15:40 |

| perihan | yep | 15:43 |
| perihan | memento: i can access java with $JAVA_HOME/bin/java | 15:44 |
| MementoMori | do you have a file like /etc/init.d/tomcat or similar? | 15:45 |
| perihan | yes there is one | 15:46 |
| perihan | tomcat5.5 | 15:46 |
| MementoMori | then edit it and set the JAVA_HOME | 15:47 |
| MrKennie | try sudo -i, then export JAVA_HOME=whatever and then try installing? | 15:47 |

| perihan | i think it when i say sudo each time it cleans up previous env var | 15:50 |
| MementoMori | legycsapo: you can try editing /etc/network/interfaces | 15:50 |
| legycsapo | ok | 15:50 |
| legycsapo | with nano, or with something else? | 15:50 |
| MementoMori | legycsapo: what you want | 15:51 |
| MementoMori | legycsapo: you need root privileges | 15:51 |
| MrKennie | legycsapo: you can use kdesudo kate /etc/network/interfaces if you perfer a graphical way of doing it | 15:51 |
| legycsapo | i want to save the new MAC address | 15:52 |
| legycsapo | so....what can i write to save the mac? | 15:53 |

| MrKennie | try adding hwaddress ether 12:34:56:78:90:AA (repalce the mac address with your desired address | 15:56 |
| MrKennie | legycsapo: as MementoMori `man interfaces` it explains everything. | 15:56 |
| aomegax4 | when I active Desktop Rotate or Expo in Compiz Setting Manager the screen becames black -.- | 15:56 |
| legycsapo | ok | 15:57 |

| MrKennie | yes, according to the manual you use hwaddress ether <the mac address> | 16:04 |
| MrKennie | when you restart networking you can verify using ifconfig | grep HWaddr | 16:07 |
| aomegax4 | does anybody help me? | 16:16 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | I just installed parallels for linux using "apt-get install parallels" but I keep getting the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28760/ | 18:20 |
| happosade | try virualbox | 18:21 |
| happosade | it's something like parallels | 18:21 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | happosade: it does not do what i want it to do | 18:21 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I already have it | 18:21 |
| happosade | ok | 18:21 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I have used Parallels in the past, and it does what I want it to do | 18:22 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I have also used VMWare, but I cannot get the RPM to install on my rig | 18:22 |
| genii | Ubuntu doesn't use RPM | 18:23 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I know | 18:23 |
| faileas | Hondo_Kitsune: you will need to use the tarba;; for vmware | 18:23 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | but the download is an RPM | 18:23 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | and I dont know how to compile tarballs :( | 18:23 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | XD | 18:23 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | But, I'd like to use Parallels | 18:23 |
| faileas | Hondo_Kitsune: there's howtos on the internet. i can't remember if the current kernel needs the any-any patch | 18:24 |
| engineer | ./configure make install | 18:24 |
| faileas | naw | 18:24 |
| engineer | ./configure && make install | 18:24 |
| faileas | not for vmware server | 18:24 |
| engineer | ah | 18:24 |
| engineer | ye no | 18:24 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | anyway, back to my previous question, Parallels. I get an error when trying to run it. and before you say it i Have run parallels-config | 18:24 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | http://paste.ubuntu.com/28760/ | 18:24 |
| engineer | ./configure+something | 18:24 |
| faileas | naw | 18:25 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | http://paste.ubuntu.com/28760/ | 18:26 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | that is the error, taken directly from Konsole | 18:26 |
| engineer | SergejRill_ update your system with sudo aptitude update | 18:26 |
| faileas | Hondo_Kitsune: it appears you're missing kernel modules for the software | 18:27 |
| engineer | vmware normally compiles the modules needed | 18:27 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | How do i get them? it does not tell me which ones i need. I though DEBs were supposed to install all the dependancies the package needed | 18:27 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | engineer: But I am using Parallels | 18:27 |
| faileas | Hondo_Kitsune: probably running the conscript scipt with kernel headers should work | 18:28 |
| faileas | *config | 18:28 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | ok, how do i do that sudo parallels-config <?> | 18:29 |
| faileas | yeah | 18:29 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | what do i put in the <?> | 18:29 |
| faileas | you MAY need some additional packages... can't remember what tho | 18:29 |

| === vinny is now known as vinny13 | ||
| Sydero | dragging doesn't work | 18:30 |

| vinny | i has a problem | 18:31 |
| vinny | ok, i was settin up my wireless internet right? didnt know what type of card an imac used so i had to use the ndiswapper of course. got that workin fine. then i attempted to make a static ip or whatever(forget what its called lol) for it and i messed up and erased the settings and now i cannot access web pages. I can still connect to my router and download updates from adept though... | 18:31 |
| engineer | well | 18:31 |
| engineer | then widgets are locked | 18:31 |
| engineer | if you can't drag then | 18:31 |
| engineer | m* | 18:31 |
| SergejRill_ | engineer, both aptitude and apt-get hold because of connect problem to one server | 18:31 |
| Sydero | Why do you need a static ip? | 18:31 |
| engineer | SergejRill_ change to another server | 18:31 |
| vinny | because of bit torrent | 18:32 |
| vinny | and i have like 7 computers | 18:32 |
| Sydero | DHCP usually maintains your ip address regardless | 18:32 |
| engineer | Sydero ip static is better | 18:32 |

| === mbox is now known as mbo | ||
| mbo | hi | 18:32 |
| vinny | what he said | 18:33 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | faileas: How do i put the headers into the command? | 18:33 |
| mbo | does someone have a valid download link for "RSConsole" i dont find it anywhere on the web | 18:33 |
| engineer | vinny so what do you want? | 18:33 |
| faileas | Hondo_Kitsune: its a package. the config script should pick up on it automatically i think | 18:33 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | didn't | 18:33 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | I have run parallels-config three or four times | 18:34 |
| genii | mbo: RSCOnsole is a part of the Unix suite called CATIA | 18:34 |
| genii | mbo: Its not open source | 18:34 |
| vinny | ahh sorry | 18:34 |
| engineer | geez...i woudl have switched to vmware by now | 18:34 |
| vinny | i want to be able to go on webpages lol | 18:34 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | and reinstalled, AND used the package on their site. al lthe same problems | 18:34 |
| faileas | is there any app for loading videos onto an ipod classic from kubuntu? | 18:34 |
| alkjdf | engineer try Qemu if wine and wmware are going you hard times... | 18:35 |
| SergejRill_ | engineer, could you tell someone which can replace http://ubuntu.osuosl.org ? | 18:35 |
| alkjdf | engineer install tiny windowxp in it | 18:35 |
| engineer | !pastebin | 18:35 |

| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: Not trying to install windows. and it is me that is having the problems with parallels. I use VirtualBox for windows | 18:35 |
| vinny | AHH | 18:35 |
| engineer | vinny http://paste.ubuntu.com/28764/ | 18:36 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | and WINE | 18:36 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune why do you need windows? | 18:36 |
| engineer | alkjdf ? | 18:36 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: To run windows apps that dont work in WINE | 18:36 |
| engineer | SergejRill_ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:36 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | and dont have an OS alternative | 18:36 |
| Sydero | use virtualization ;) | 18:37 |
| engineer | vmare never failed on me | 18:37 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: anyway, I am not trying to install windows. | 18:37 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune ok fair enough. well i have always used qemu in slackware and then i install tiny windows xp in it and run windows in linux for certain apps. works perfect and given that this is ubuntu i guess you just have to do apt-get qemu etc etc | 18:37 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: I DONT WANT TO INSTALL WINDOWS! I ALREADY HAVE IT WORKING! (falls over) | 18:38 |
| Sydero | or.... just find a linux alternative to the software | 18:38 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | *headdesk* | 18:38 |
| Sydero | What apps do you need? | 18:39 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune installing windows is the only good way. these emulators that claim to be able to run every app without it are liars... | 18:39 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: I HAVE WINDOWS WORKING! DON'T YOU GET IT! | 18:39 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune i had majour issues with both wine and vmware | 18:39 |
| alkjdf | oh ok | 18:39 |
| SergejRill_ | engineer , opened, what shiould I change where? | 18:39 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | ugh. | 18:39 |
| Sydero | Hondo_Kitsune, you can either boot to windows to get the apps working, or install Windows in Virtual Box so you don't have to leave Linux | 18:39 |
| Sydero | your choice | 18:40 |
| Sydero | or just find their linux counterparts | 18:40 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Sydero: DON'T YOU GET IT EITHER! I AM USING VIRTUALBOX FOR WINDOWS, I WANT PARALLELS FOR SOMETHING ELSE! | 18:40 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_kitsune maybe linux and windows is not for you. metrosexuals usualy like OSX and macs | 18:40 |
| alkjdf | hondo_kitsune why the bold text? | 18:40 |
| Sydero | So what do you want? | 18:41 |
| engineer | SergejRill_ the server url | 18:41 |
| engineer | in all lines | 18:41 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: Because YOU and Sydero are REALLY IRRITATING! I mentioned SEVERAL times that it is NOT windows I am looking for. I WANT TO GET FRIKKING PARALLELS WORKING! | 18:41 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune ok so you already got vmware or wine to work? | 18:41 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: But I want PARALLELS TO RUN SOMETHING ELSE! | 18:42 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: I have WINE and VirtualBOX for Windows | 18:42 |
| Sydero | Why even use parallels? | 18:42 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Sydero: TO RUN A VIRTUAL COMPUTER WHAT ELSE! | 18:42 |

| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune ? | 18:44 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | alkjdf: It also proves what a prat you are if after five or six times of saying "I HAVE WINDOWS WORKING" you continue to think that is what I am looking to Virtualise | 18:44 |
| engineer | maybe it's better to use soemthing else like | 18:45 |
| alkjdf | Hondo_Kitsune i still think you should try to install tiny windows in qemu | 18:45 |

| faileas | Hondo_Kitsune: look up a howto... it'll help HEAPS | 18:46 |
| Sydero | If VirtualBox and Parallels can do the same job, why use both? | 18:46 |
| engineer | use that tool instead | 18:46 |
| Sydero | when VirtualBox can handle more than one OS | 18:46 |
| faileas | alkjdf: well you weren't entirely answerin the qn he was asking... | 18:46 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | faileas: Thanks for the help | 18:46 |
| Sydero | use one or the other, no need for both | 18:46 |
| faileas | Sydero: virtualbox dosen't have USB does it? | 18:46 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Sydero: Because VirtualBox is not doing the Job i want | 18:46 |
| alkjdf | faileas I just think that more positive wibes from him would go a long way | 18:46 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | faileas: Vbox does. | 18:46 |

| Sydero | way to heavy for a 486 yes | 18:56 |
| Sydero | too* | 18:56 |
| alkjdf | they had arguments about the direction. some argued that progress means it should become more lightweight the further into the versions it gets | 18:56 |
| alkjdf | sydero comon | 18:56 |
| Sydero | :D | 18:56 |
| alkjdf | :P | 18:56 |

| fanel | hello | 23:08 |
| fanel | who knows how to fix the sound in Ubuntu 8.04? | 23:09 |
| fanel | any ideas? | 23:09 |
| fanel | on a Toshiba laptop | 23:10 |
| grinias | fanel: are you sure that there is really a problem? | 23:12 |
| fanel | yes I am sure | 23:12 |
| fanel | I installed Ubuntu 8.04 from the original CD | 23:13 |
| fanel | a couple of times | 23:13 |
| fanel | and still I could get no sound at all | 23:13 |
| grinias | do you see kmix icon? | 23:13 |
| fanel | If I boot the laptop in windows | 23:13 |
| fanel | it works | 23:14 |
| luis | hello | 23:14 |
| fanel | hello | 23:14 |
| fanel | kmix? | 23:14 |
| luis | I'm lookig for help | 23:14 |
| fanel | I- | 23:15 |
| engineer | keep looking | 23:15 |
| fanel | I am looking for it | 23:15 |
| luis | :) help with the KDE configuration | 23:15 |
| tzd | fanel: have you tried the ubuntu channel regarding your sound issue? | 23:15 |
| fanel | I have tried before | 23:15 |
| luis | I've set the transparency on , my problem is that the kicker bar is also transparent | 23:15 |
| fanel | And I am trying it right now | 23:15 |
| engineer | disable transparency on kicker then | 23:16 |
| tzd | ok, just wondering since it was ubuntu and since their channel usually consists of more people | 23:16 |
| zabbadapp | fanel: tried "alsamixer" ? for me (kubuntu 8.04), volume was 0 | 23:16 |
| luis | does anybody know how to set the kicker bar allways visible | 23:16 |
| luis | well how would you disable it on kiker? | 23:17 |
| luis | I've tried to set the preferences for that window.. but.. | 23:17 |
| fanel | how could I reach the alsamixer? | 23:17 |
| fanel | type somethink in the terminal? | 23:18 |
| hoopoe | type alsamixer | 23:18 |
| tzd | luis: right click panel, choose "Edit panel" or whatever it is in English | 23:18 |
| tzd | luis: the second option from the bottom, the one above help | 23:19 |
| luis | (my kubuntu is in spanish) configure panel aha? | 23:19 |
| tzd | luis: yes most likely | 23:19 |
| luis | and then? | 23:20 |
| tzd | luis: then click the second button/tab from the top named "hide" | 23:20 |
| luis | block panels? | 23:20 |
| tzd | luis: and on there, make sure the top radiobutton is marked | 23:20 |
| tzd | luis: should be the second button i think? | 23:21 |
| luis | let me see if I can find what you say | 23:21 |
| tzd | ok | 23:21 |
| luis | (I've been fidling with this for hours now) | 23:21 |
| tzd | luis: yeah, i've done that in the past as well with various things... get's a bit boring after a while but you'll learn loads meanwhile though :D | 23:22 |
| luis | sorry, what is what the radio button should read? | 23:22 |
| luis | :) yea I know, but it's just that I can't get it to work | 23:23 |
| luis | whenever I set the transparency on , for some reason the menu bar turns transparent too | 23:23 |
| tzd | luis: hmm it's the top radio button... it should read something like: Only hide when the hidebutton is clicked | 23:23 |
| tzd | luis: oh, i thought it was hidden | 23:24 |
| tzd | then you could probably just ignore what i've adviced | 23:24 |
| luis | let me see , done, "only hide when the the hidding button is clicked" | 23:24 |
| luis | done but, still the same | 23:25 |
| tzd | luis: yeah, i thought you meant that it was hidden, not transparent | 23:25 |
| tzd | luis: to sort the transparent issue try this: | 23:25 |
| luis | my problem is that the transparency, for some reason turns transparent the kicker bar, | 23:25 |
| tzd | luis: 2 buttons down in the "KDE-Panel" window there's a different button called "design/look" | 23:26 |
| tzd | luis: click that button | 23:26 |
| luis | appearence? | 23:26 |
| tzd | luis: yes :) That's the correct translation :D | 23:26 |
| luis | ok | 23:27 |
| tzd | luis: in there you have panel/kicker background at the bottom | 23:27 |
| luis | yes , let me see | 23:27 |
| luis | theres a radio button, for "allow transparency" | 23:27 |
| tzd | luis: it should be the top check box... that one should be unchecked | 23:28 |
| miraclemaxim | when i switch from compiz to kwin as my window manager, windows randomly lose focus, but are clearly visible in front of me. cannot click on them unless i select them from the taskbar again | 23:28 |
| miraclemaxim | anyone have any ideas why that happens? | 23:28 |
| luis | hmm I've tried that | 23:28 |
| luis | the problem then is that , the kicker is still transparent , but now the background's grey | 23:28 |
| tzd | luis: what colour do you have for your wallpaper then? | 23:29 |
| luis | I have , no wallpaper | 23:29 |
| luis | just the color black | 23:29 |
| tzd | ok and when you have the radiobutton for allow transparency checked it's grey instead of black? | 23:30 |
| luis | when it's checked its black | 23:30 |
| luis | it becomes grey, when unchecked | 23:30 |
| tzd | ok then you just need to change the colour of your preference | 23:31 |
| luis | I've already tried that | 23:31 |
| tzd | oh, so you've checked the button underneath saying something like "activate background image"? | 23:31 |
| luis | also there's a button for "advanced options" , I've tried that, and tried to fidle with the option for "amount of taint" | 23:32 |
| luis | yes, I've tried with activate background image tooo | 23:32 |
| luis | sorry too* | 23:32 |
| tzd | luis: hmm then I'm afraid I don't know what to do... Are you running compiz perhaps? | 23:33 |
| luis | what is compiz :)? | 23:33 |
| tzd | luis: :) It's well hmm.... a lot of desktop effects imho. | 23:35 |
| earthsound | can someone help me repair my grub installation? | 23:36 |
| tzd | luis: if you google compiz you'll see what you can do with it. I find it a bit troublesome on Kubuntu (KDE) though and it uses some extra resources | 23:36 |
| luis | I see | 23:36 |
| luis | well | 23:36 |
| luis | transparency works fine and looks great | 23:36 |
| luis | it's worth it to try to solve this minor inconvinience with the menu bar | 23:37 |
| luis | :) | 23:37 |
| earthsound | i had 2 drives on this machine: 1 IDE (w/ windows) and 1 SATA (w/ an NTFS partition and a /, /home and swap partitions, with kubuntu 8.04 installed) | 23:37 |
| earthsound | the SATA drive was going bad, so I replaced it. as I didn't need anything off the old kubuntu install, I decided to just install 8.04.1 (from a desktop cd) fresh on the 2nd (new) drive | 23:39 |
| tzd | luis: ah ok :) Sorry I couldn't be much of help. I find it quite good to ask for help in another 12 hours or so... Then there's a lot of skilled people in that could help you out | 23:39 |
| earthsound | I got to the partitioning part of the installation, and resized the existing partition on the new SATA HD, using the end for the kubuntu install | 23:40 |
| earthsound | after successfully partitioning, copying files, etc, it spit the CD out and I rebooted but was greeted by an GRUB Error 22 instead of a boot menu | 23:40 |
| luis | tzd thank you very much :) | 23:41 |
| earthsound | I restarted and was going to go through the install process again to make sure everything was set up correctly the first time. when I got to the partition section of the install, i saw that everything looked good | 23:41 |
| tzd | luis: oh nothing to thank me for, i was unable to help you.. | 23:42 |
| earthsound | the new HD had an NTFS partition, an ext3, and a swap partition...so I cancelled the install and it went ahead and booted into kubuntu, where I am now | 23:42 |
| earthsound | i don't know if I'm running off the cd or the hd...how can I tell? | 23:43 |
