MrKennieSebNaitsabes: in firefox does anything show in about:plugins ?00:17
SebNaitsabesi'll have to try stuff like that next time00:18
SebNaitsabesI was vncing her00:18
SebNaitsabesand she had to go00:18
MrKennieah ok00:18
SebNaitsabes,but I just remove the plugin and put it back on again00:18
SebNaitsabesand looked for some plugins folder in .mozilla that I could not find00:18
MrKennieshould be in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins00:19
MrKennieer, firefox/plugins00:19
SebNaitsabesyeah I went looking for00:20
MrKenniewhich is a link to /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin00:20

mikedomosome people have problems with wireless cards in ubuntu00:20
SebNaitsabeswhilst I am at it,   I am prety sure there is a way to get Shockwave working in Linux Firefox with Wine or Codeweavers, but not entirely sure since I have not done that myself before00:21
MrKennieit is possible, I've done it myself but it's very unstable.00:21
MrKennieso I just gave up on that idea :)00:21
SebNaitsabeswell some stupid game on Facebook that she  wants to run maybe needs it00:21
mikedomoi posted one solution for that00:21
mikedomohttp://www.republicaubuntu.org.do/foro/viewtopic.php?t=130900:22
jonathan_flash sometimes wont load on firefox 300:22
SebNaitsabeswhy?00:22
MrKennieI'm still using FF200:22
jonathan_refreshing wont fix it00:22
jonathan_same glitch with firefox 2 as well00:23
mikedomoi never have this problem in firefox00:23
SebNaitsabeshummmmmmm and on mine I get problems like slowness and freezes with Firefox 3 in Ubuntu00:23
jonathan_maybe its a 64 bit thing00:23
SebNaitsabesshe is using 32bit00:23
jonathan_:(00:23
mikedomois big trouble inst linux 64 bits version00:23
MrKenniedoesn't the latest flash work under x64?00:23
jonathan_im trying to buy some tracks on beat port but its just fnarked up00:23
jonathan_well flash does work fine00:24
SebNaitsabesmaybe it's worth trying to get Flash plugin working in konqueror as well00:24
jonathan_when it wants to00:24
jonathan_well oddly enough00:24
MrKenniefor me, video performance sucks in flash but other than that it's good.00:24
jonathan_same glitch in konqueror00:24
jonathan_seriously00:24
MrKennieah yea, I've had the same in konq00:24
SebNaitsabeswhat would really suck is having to use the WIndows Firefox under Wine or something like that00:25
SebNaitsabeswell she woudn't care00:25
* icarus test00:25
SebNaitsabes,but I sure as hell would00:25
jonathan_it could work for hours all day00:25
jonathan_then suddenly00:25
jonathan_*plop*00:25
jonathan_its broke00:25
jonathan_like a magic gblin sneezed onit or something00:25
jonathan_goblin*00:25
lesergihi all00:25
jonathan_its makes no sense00:26
mikedomohi00:26
SebNaitsabesor it does make sense since it's propritary closed source software00:26
init6I have a Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-1633S drive. Can't burn to my TDK DVD-r but can burn to Maxell DVD-r. Tried to flash the drive but they are all .exe apps. wine will let it detect the drive fine but can't flash it. any suggestions on how to upgrade the firmware to allow other media types?00:26
jonathan_.....00:26
SebNaitsabeswhich does make me think of gnash again00:26
jonathan_ahhhh00:26
jonathan_is gnash any good then?00:26
SebNaitsabes,but the open source flash palyer lacks certain features and I have not tryed it00:26
MrKennieI don't think gnash can do videos yet (or probably never will)00:27
jonathan_i dont think id try buying music on beatport with gnash00:27
mikedomonot the adobeś non free plugin still better than gnash00:27
jonathan_hmmm......00:27
mikedomo:(00:27
SebNaitsabesis there a way to choose which plugin for a flash video?00:27
SebNaitsabesI mean00:27
SebNaitsabesany flash00:27
jonathan_yeah00:27
jonathan_you get flash or gnash00:27
jonathan_thats the choice00:27
mikedomoyeah00:27
lesergido I can get 8.6 version of ati driver from any repo or I must install with ATI installer??00:27
SebNaitsabesI meant have both installed00:27
SebNaitsabesand say I want this plugin  no I want that plugin00:28
jonathan_....00:28
SebNaitsabeschoose between the plugin00:28
jonathan_i guess you could00:28
jonathan_try it... if something breaks.... say a swear00:28
mikedomouse envy to inatall this graphic card00:28
lesergi8.6 version?00:28
init6whats the best way to flash a DVD drives firmware with the applications don't work on linux to flash the drive?00:28
MrKenniepersonally I would like to see flash die a horrible death an d make the internet liveable again.00:29
lesergimikedomo: I checked it, it's right00:29
SebNaitsabescould put the Windows versin of Firefox on and yeah in Wine, but then I would want the user agent changed :)  and always have my changed one.  so it says Linux not Windows, even though technically it's Wine,  but Wine is running in Linux anyway so00:29
init6lol@Mrkennie I right there with you on the flashing hoping to die00:29
mikedomook :) iesergi00:29
lesergimikedomo: it seems be not-compiled version...00:30
MrKennieand that;s for silverlight, keep it. Why bother porting it mono guys, MS 0wn novell too!00:30
jonathan_action script 3 is good00:30
MrKenniesorry about the rant00:30
jonathan_but...00:30
jonathan_mainly made of ass00:30
mikedomowell00:30
MrKennieI've had to do some actionscript in my time.00:30
MrKennieas2.0 that is00:31
jonathan_i once used visual art software made in actionscript 300:31
jonathan_fairly stable00:31
lesergioh mikedomo, it is compiling now itself ^^00:31
jonathan_but i was using a mac though00:31
jonathan_mind you id rather set fire to my mac than use it00:31
lesergimikedomo: thanks you very much, let's restart X server00:32
lesergibye00:32
MrKenniealthough one pro for flash is that it has got rid of that nasty realplayer for *nix and everyone can watch videos again!00:32
mikedomosee ya00:32
jonathan_real player was made by hitler and satan00:32
jonathan_in one weekend00:32
jonathan_and they werent even really trying00:32

MrKennieit was hard to even find the download on their site I recall00:33
MrKenniehad to google it00:33

mikedomoof music compilations00:36
MrKennieI tried that but got terribly slow00:36
zhobbsis it hard to switch to esd instead of arts?00:36
jonathan_ill give it another go but right now super happy idiot proof xmms keeps me happy00:37
GithzeraiHm, I prefere SMplayer, Amarok is...well..Amarok, but don't forget K3b and Konqueror ;)00:37
jonathan_what about  Foobar?00:37
MrKenniezhobbs: why would you want to use esd?00:37
jonathan_oh wait00:37
mikedomok3b a great cd burner00:37
MrKennieoh, k3b!00:38
zhobbsMrKennie: I don't really, but there is an application that I have to use that seems to really want to use esd and won't work otherwise00:38
jonathan_i bought ut3 ages ago....... got it home.... then realised there is no linux client00:38
jonathan_o_o00:38
MrKenniezhobbs: oh, hmm. What application is that?00:38
mikedomoesd a daemon sound sounds very good when use xmms00:38
jonathan_ive been staring at the box of it all day00:38
MrKenniejonathan_: I thought there was00:38
MrKenniejonathan_: I remember playing the demo00:38
jonathan_nope00:38
jonathan_.....00:38
jonathan_i cant find the linux client anywhere00:39
MrKennieseriously00:39
jonathan_i have been everywhere00:39
MrKennieI used to paly wit ha buddy who used to hang out on here (freenode)00:39
MrKenniethen he got the full version and I didn't :P00:39
jonathan_maybe there was a linux demo but there still is no linux full version00:40
jonathan_ah poo00:40
zhobbsMrKennie: closed source bete software00:40
lesergifucking ATI card :'(00:40
jonathan_now what have we learned from this lesergi?00:40
jonathan_dont buy ATI ever00:40
MrKenniejonathan_: that sucks, I just googled and it seems to be something in the works00:40
lesergiwhy when I use 3D in my card computer halts!!!00:41
lesergijonathan_: xD00:41
jonathan_yes in the works....... its being programmed by the Epic Games mascott ..... pan pan the fat hamster00:41
MrKenniezhobbs: that's strange, usually closed software goes for at least OSS00:41
mikedomoi use nvidia because the sopport for linux driver is better00:41
zhobbsyeah, it has oss mode, but doesn't work (even with artsdsp)00:41
MrKennienever known anything to depend on sound daemons but I live a simple life I guess.00:41
lesergiI'll change my ati card for girlsfriend nvidia card ^^00:42
MrKenniezhobbs: can you tell me what the program is?00:42
jonathan_i use nvidia because i like to be controled by a corperation whos logo looks like the All Seeing Eye00:42
gurkentraegerif you buy an nvidia they will tell you to buy an ati00:42
lesergihahaha00:42
mikedomohehehehehe00:42
jonathan_all hail the golden eye of zorgron king of the potato kingdom00:43
* MrKennie bows00:43
lesergiso, really nvidia better in linux?00:43
mikedomowell in my case yes00:43
jonathan_nvidia is the true road...... do not listen to the others....... they are false profits00:43
MrKennieI've always stuck with nvidia where possible but I have an older ati card which using opensource drivers works very well.00:43
lesergiin my laptop I have an ATI card with no-problems...00:44
DragnslcrIf you're going for Linux support, you'd probably want Intel00:45
mikedomoyeah because the open ati drivers are released this year and for that reason ati drivers will very soon more stable tha nvidia`s drivers00:45
=== sayaleproso_ is now known as SaYa_LePRoSo
jonathan_is it just me or is the only way to make computer music with VST plugins and samplers?00:45
MrKennieDragnslcr: I agree, kde4.1 with all the compiz stuff works brilliantly on my laptop which has Intel gfx00:45
lesergi7 days left to 4.1 right?00:46
MrKennieor 8?00:46
Githzerailesergi: 29. july00:46
DragnslcrI'd guess that within a year or two, Intel's graphics chipsets will be powerful enough to do anything for normal desktop use00:46
MrKennietagged 4.1 on tuesday and the following week it's realised00:46
lesergiso, 8 days xD00:46
mikedomokde 4.1!00:46
MrKennierc1 still needs lots of work though00:47
lesergiyeah00:47
lesergikubuntu integration too00:47
mikedomoyeah i prefer use it in october00:47
gurkentraegeror maybe Mark Shuttleworth has a contract with nvidia... he just looks like  sth. gnaws at his conscience00:47
MrKennie4.1 at rc1 is still way better than 4.0.x IMO00:47
mikedomoi hope so that00:48
lesergiso, can I do something to avoid computers reboot when I use 3D?????00:48
Syderoit's better, but very buggy00:48
MrKennieyea00:48
MrKennielesergi: agp or pciex?00:48
lesergiagp00:48
lesergiI don't know what to do00:49

init6So I am thinking the best way to flash my DVD drives firmware is to download ophcrack-xp-livecd and run the flash software from that. unless anyone has another idea on how to flash a DVD drives firmware in linux01:05
MrKennienot I01:05
Dr_willismove drive to another machine.01:05
init6they are all linux01:06
Dr_willisusing a 'not quite legal' live cd.. is proberly against channel rules.. heh.. good luck01:06
histoinit6: put the drive in a linux box01:06
init6It is,01:06
init6but all the software to flash the drive are .exe and wine wont let me flash it01:07
MrKennieprobably not a good idea to try via wine anyway01:07
Dr_willisflashing from wine. would be a scary idea also.01:07
init6the software detects the drive and when I am about to do it. It doesn't get the correct info from the drive becauses it's going tthrough wine01:07
anom01y_2: ok will try that first01:07
MrKennieinit6: I would guess check related forums/newsgroups. Not really the right place to discuss here.01:08

MrKennieNyle: you have tested the card in Windows?01:24
Nylekaiwen, look at that link, you may find it useful01:24
Dr_willisseems most lockups i have are either drives dieing.. or video drivers crashing..01:24
NyleMrKennie, it all works fine in windows and debian01:24
MrKennieok01:24
kaiwenNyle: what for.01:24
Nyleif you dont' look, you will never know :)01:25
kaiweni'm looking at it now01:25
Dr_willisif on a lan, you could ssh in, and keep an eye on things and hope to catch some info.  You could also try the  non-acelerated drivers for your video card if you can.01:25
MrKennieNyle: I had a similar issue with a machine of mine which turned out to be the SATA cable but I was having intermittent boot problems too.01:25
kaiweni don't need it though ;)01:25
NyleMrKennie, I see01:25
NyleMrKennie, I also went through that once01:26
NyleMrKennie, I changed the cable and my disks were no longer being recognized as BzBzBzBzBzBz but by the correct drive name/serial#01:26
Nylekaiwen, you saying you could never use that info I told you about?01:27
MrKennieNyle: what is your kernel version? uname -a in konsole01:27
Dr_willisI had an ide cable once. with one wire on the edge..just barely cut  by a sharp edge on the case. :) took me forever to discover that.01:27
Nyleok buddy... your choice.  It is VERY useful when you need it... then again if you don't care.. go ahead and reboot01:27
kaiwenNyle: well i don't need it right now ;)01:28
kaiwenNyle: my problem is about shortcuts in kde 4.101:28
NyleI am aware of that01:29
kaiwenthe gui configuration is broken01:29
kaiweni'll book mark it to make u happy01:29
kaiwen;)01:29
Nyleyou don't honestly believe I'd tell you about the magis sysrq key in reponse to your original query, do you?01:29

Nyleyeh buddy01:31
NyleI'm also scratching my head01:31
Nyle:)01:31
MrKennieNyle: most common cause for that is graphics and hdd like others have mentioned here.01:31
Nyleit maybe be a hardware issue01:31
Nylethis system is 2 years old01:31
Nylemaybe the motherboard is giving out?01:31
MrKenniemaybe your PSU is faulty, that can cause it.01:32
Nyle2 of 4 ram slots are dead01:32
Dr_willisWhen in doubt.. open it up. give it a good cleaning.. check all cables/reseat the ram, and so forth.01:32
MrKenniemotherboard could have a fault.01:32
NyleDr_willis, done it01:32
Dr_willis2 of 4? icky. :) thats not a good sign.01:32
Nylei know01:32

NyleI mean to upgrade soon, just a funding issue atm01:32
MrKenniewell you never mentioend that :)01:32
Nyleit may verywell be the mobo01:32
NyleI just remembered01:32
NyleI apologize01:32
MrKennieI could well put money on your mobo then01:33
MrKenniebeing the fault01:33
Nyleoh01:33
Dr_willisthere were a lot of bad capaciaters being used a few years back.01:33
NyleI thought you were going to buy me a new mobo01:33

MrKennieNyle: welp, I would start saving for a new mobo, other than that I can't offer any more suggestions01:35

miraclemaximwhy did u guys decide it's a faulty mobo instead of a faulty graphics card01:37
miraclemaximnevermind i read up01:37
MrKennienobody has decided from where I'm sitting01:37
MrKennieit's a case of why waste time on soemthing already faulty I guess01:38
miraclemaximif it works fine in debian and windows why would it be the mobo01:38
histoAlright how do I remove kubuntu-desktop now?01:38

MrKennieit's bad to suggest replacing a faulty mothergboard?01:40

MrKennieyou missed the part where he mentions 2 ram slots are dead?01:40

MrKennieI have a problem where switching to another user sometimes kills my session. Any ideas? :)01:50
Nylethanks01:51
NyleI think so too MrKennie01:51
Nylewhat is a good chipset to go with, something for core2 or better, with pref. 4gb ram max don't need 8, and onboard intel gfx01:52
Nylesomething good enough to do 3d gaming under ubuntu for ubutugames.org site01:52
Nylelike nexiuz, open arena etc. etc.01:52
MrKennieNyle: well, I hope you find a solution soon so you can enjoy kubuntu :)01:52
Nylecurrently I have ich8(r)01:53
MrKennieNyle: I'm using nforce4 with an AMD NB which is pretty old now.01:53
Nyleoh, and I may also require PATA support01:53
Nylepref. chipset based and not a 3rd party controller01:54
Nylebut I heard intel dropped support for pata lately01:54

Nyleno02:02
Nyleits not that02:02
Nyleits to do with diversions02:02
histoAny way to fix it?02:02
Nylesomething I can't recall but it has to do with a package perhaps ovewriting some files02:02
Nylefrom another package02:02
Nyleor the opposite of that or I dunno its something along those lines02:02
MrKennieyou could try dpkg -r --force-all but I only do that in extreme cases.02:03
Nyle       dpkg-divert - override a package’s version of a file02:03

histodon't know something with kio aparently02:05
Nylewell, as sudo try to touch the file02:05
Nylethough i doubt it will work02:05
Nylemaybe you could cp a this .desktop file from the diff location to this one, and perhaps dpkg-divert won't give you an error02:05
histoIt can't touch it because it doens't exist02:06
histoI tried creating it too that didn't work02:06

histoForce didn't even get rid of it.02:11
histoIt appears its partially removed its showing a status of rH in dpkg02:12
MrKennieI wonder if it's because konq and dolphin are sim,ialr in functionality and dpkg-divert enables you to use one or the other.02:12

shaffydoes anyone know how to make a script run in a terminal window (i.e. so you can see what is being output from the script)?02:53
Dontrelleshaffy:   ./myscript.sh  for bash scripts02:54
shaffyDontrelle:  i'm not sure if i'm following.  maybe i should be a bit more explicit.  i made a simple wget script, and i run it from my "alt-f2" console.  however, i don't get to see the process take place (i believe it runs in the background).02:56
Dontrelleshaffy: does the script output lines using "echo"?02:57
shaffyDontrelle: http://pastebin.com/d1375735a02:59
Dontrelleshaffy: I see what you mean now. I'm not sure why it doesn't show the output03:01
Walzmynamarok is saying it does not have mp3 support, when i click to install nothing happens.03:02
shaffyDontrelle: if i was to use "echo", do i just put it in front of the wget command?03:02
hmoraleshello03:02
Walzmynhi03:02
Dontrelleshaffy: If running the command via a terminal window outputs the progress, then it should do the same thing in the script that you wrote.03:05

shaffyany ideas genii?04:12
shaffyhow do i do this: "This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)"04:12
geniishaffy: No immediate ones, the version it complains about not being able to install is same version apt says is available to install04:13

geniishaffy: Conceivably corrupted file in /var/cache/apt/archives of sun-java6 deb files04:16
Kernelhello all. im using fluxbox and im wondering what the app is called that alerts you of updates?...04:18
Kernelid like to start it when i log into fluxbox04:18
shaffygenii: it appears sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin worked.  i no longer receive errors and sudo aptitude upgrade now works (it was not in the beginning).  i think apt-get forced the install of the package?04:20
geniishaffy: Maybe it could not install that as a dependency automatically since I believe it needs a user input of agreement to continue installing it04:21
shaffythat's interesting genii, as when i tried to do the upgrade via adept, it did prompt me to agree, however, an error kept arising, that would thus render me with the error i initially came to you with.  it appears aptitude was not able to solve the problem?04:22
shaffythat is, if adept manager is a gui of aptitude (and not apt-get)04:23
geniiKernel: The KDE one is adept-notifier. But you may want to use another if using flux and not KDE. The gnome one is just update-notifier04:24
geniishaffy: It seems so. I generally use apt-get instead of aptitude so not overly familiar with it04:24

minhaajwhat do you mean ?11:12
minhaajwhat does that do _2 ?11:12
_2it should mak a "backup001.tgz" file in /home     (assuming you live in /home/$USER)11:12
minhaajyes i do11:12
minhaajhmm ok hang on11:12
minhaajon its way11:13
minhaajcan i copy that tar into usb then ?11:13
_2yep.   mount the disk    sudo cp ../backup001.tgz /mount/point/11:14
minhaaji also want to clear up the meanings of this term mount11:14
minhaajwhat does this mean ?11:14
_2mount command will be something like     sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt11:14
minhaajin my case it would be /media/disk-1/backup11:14
_2you can use      sudo fdisk -l    to find the exact device node11:15
_2if you don't know it.11:15
minhaajdevice node ?11:15
minhaajcan you explain11:15
_2run the command  ^11:15
_2it will list the partitions it finds      they will look like     "/dev/sdb1   *   1   261   2096451   6   FAT16"     or something.      the "device node" is  /dev/sdb1 in that example.11:17
minhaajyea b is for storage devices11:17
minhaajand a for hard drives11:17
_2no11:17
minhaajread that in book11:18
_2a is first recognized scsi device  b is second c is third....11:18
_2they could all be hdd's they could be all external  they could be any combonation thereof11:18
minhaajyea but second device is called a211:18
minhaajnot b11:18
_2no11:18
_2second partition on device is called 211:19
minhaajwhats the difference ?11:19
_2you need a new book11:19
minhaajthats what i said.11:19
=== ichigo_ is now known as ichigo__
minhaaja b c partitions will be referred to as sda1 sda2 sda 311:19
=== ichigo__ is now known as ichigo_
_2minhaaj those are partitions not disks. tho11:20
minhaajoh ok, sorry for the wrong terminology then11:20
_2the disk is a   the partitions are all on a11:20
_2the second disk "aka device" is b11:20
minhaajbtw meanwhile home tars, can you tell me why my usb partition is showing on 435 mb free space whereas when i went in selected all and went to properties, it showed 3.5 GB free space ?11:21
minhaajok good11:21
minhaajthen my usb is sdb111:21
minhaaj:)11:21
_2your usb device is sdb in this case and the first partition on that device is sdb1   :)))       get it right!11:22
_2minhaaj as per your Q.   linux file systems reserver a default percentage of space that only root can access   'default is 5%'   that being an vfat fs it "may" reserve a persentage on it when it mounts...  i'm not sure what they do with defaults on a vfat or ntfs11:24
_2there is no permissions bit on vfat or ntfs  so a psyudo permission is set fs-wide for them when mounted in linux   they may set some reserve there too   i have never tried to find out about that.11:26
minhaajahh11:26
minhaajoh got it. so partitions are numeric and devices are alpha11:27
_2yep11:27
minhaajdevice one a partition one 111:27
_2yep11:27
_2you got it11:27

minhaajgdesklets is useless i deleted it, so its prolly ok. whats that gvfs permission prob ?11:28
minhaaji prolly don't need transmission too11:28
_2only problem i see is that you were down loading mail and backing up at the same time      errr and don't know about pastebin.11:28
minhaajlol i do11:29
minhaajsorry i was a bit impatient11:29
minhaajgotta do it again or ?11:29
_2well unless you wanted to backup your "inbox" along with that.  all should be fine.11:30
minhaajshut down everything11:30
minhaajyou mean my emails ?11:30
_2yes your new email11:30
minhaajnah don't care11:30
_2then it should be fine11:30
minhaajbut i am using xchat at the moment11:30
minhaajhow about this ?11:30
_2it should be fine11:30
gurkentraegerhello!11:30
minhaajlet me quit pidgin and skype too11:30
minhaajwhy should it be ? whats the logic ? if its bad for thunderbird why is it good for xchat ?11:31
_2minhaaj you can use something like file-roller   or what's that other gui thingy ???   and look in the tar ball to see what you put in there.11:31
_2ark  that the other11:31
minhaajwhat do you mean ?11:32
_2just open it.    look at the content listing11:32
minhaajmy question was that why is it bad for thunderbird to back up while running and same is not true for xchat11:32
minhaaj?11:32
_2minhaaj only thing that *chat might be writing to is a log file   in such case you may not want to save the irc-log   anyway11:33
gurkentraegerplease tell me where do i find the file where the screen resolution for x-sessions is saved. Xorg.conf doesnt contain no more information about resolution or about syncing frequencies11:34
minhaajheyyyyyyyy its backing up back0001.tar.gz too11:34
_2even konqueror  can be generating new data while in use  "think thumbnails"  but a precise backup of that is futile anyway11:34
minhaajisn't it an endless loop? backing up the back up ?11:34
_2minhaaj did you use the exact command i gave ?11:35
minhaajyes11:35
minhaaji told you, you never place back up in home11:35
minhaajok its done11:35
minhaajhow do i check the integrity of the back up ?11:35
minhaajhello ?11:37
gurkentraegerwhere is the configuration file for the screen resolution ?????????? nothing there in xorg.conf11:38
_2minhaaj i didn't place backup in home.11:38
_2sudo tar -C ~/.. -czf backup001.tgz ~   <<< that is the "exact" command i gave you.   it put's it in the parent dir of your home.11:39
minhaaji copy pasted it11:39
minhaajyea its in minhaaj11:39
minhaaj/home/minhaaj11:39
minhaajwasn't it where it was supposed to be ?11:39
_2then you didn't do something right.11:39
_2no.  the -C ~/..     will change dir to parrent of your home.11:40
minhaajwell i checked the back up size its 4.8 gb11:40
minhaajnot bad11:40
minhaajnow how do i check if its exactly like my home and i am not missing files and it would run ok if i restore it ?11:41
_2ummm too big for vfat11:41

_2you mounted it ?11:42

minhaajsudo mount /media/disk-111:42
minhaaj?11:42
_2mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt   # or /media/disk-1 if you prefer11:42
_2anyway   issue the mount command without arguments11:43
minhaajwould that format my data ?11:43
_2it will list what's mounted11:43
minhaajok11:43
_2format ?   no.11:43
minhaajmount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/disk-211:43
_2minhaaj so issue    mount     and see what fs it is11:44
minhaajhow do i do that ?11:45
minhaajjust tell me commands :)11:45
_2mount11:45
minhaajdidnt i just do it?11:45

minhaajlemme pastebin11:46
_2mount | grep dev/sdb1   # that would give the pertenant information11:47
_2grep the filter of champions11:48
minhaajyea right. command not found11:48
_2copy and paste it11:48

_2yep vfat.11:50
_2and there is no way in hell that "grep" or "mount" is NOT on your system... so the "command not found is pebcak"11:50
minhaajhehe11:51
minhaajso what do we do now :)11:51
_2let me look into tar and see if there is a known issue with -C and ..   togather.  in the mean time.    try this.    delete the backup you made.  and drop this command in the konsole.  "cd ~/.. ;sudo tar -czf backup001.tgz $HOME "11:53
_2that should get the size down to something you can store on a vfat system11:53
_2and it will be in /home/  not in your home11:54

falckonhi, i'm trying to set up kubuntu on my usb hard drive so that I can take my OS and run it anywhere I go, it works great using default video card drivers but I want to be able to use the accelerated NVidia or ATI drivers on computers that have those cards15:08

falckonaomegax4, i know you can use unrar15:10
aomegax4no I referr to graphical mode15:10
falckon'apt-get install unrar' and then 'unrar x archivename.rar'15:10
falckonoh ok15:10
aomegax4ah ok15:10
falckonark seems like it should support rar no problem15:11
aomegax4boh in kde4 doesn't go...15:12
aomegax4I have a .rar so I click with right mouse button but I haven't extract here but only open with ark -.-15:13
aomegax4perhaps I haven't any packaage...bah! I don't know it15:15
slobad23i have changed to kde after installing it from ubuntu... as a result am i missing anything i should download asap?15:17
falckonslobad23, how did you switch to kde? the best way to switch to kubuntu is to install kubuntu-desktop and this will install the standard kubuntu desktop installation15:18
slobad23that is exactly what i did15:18

aomegax4?15:31
geniiIf you describe better the problem....15:31
geniiaomegax4: A more detailed report of the exact problem with ark that you are having may be useful in assisting15:33
aomegax4i don't succed to extract file with ark15:35
aomegax4what must I do?15:36
falckonif you right click on the rar file, and go to actions -> "extract here"15:39
falckonthis works for me15:39
falckonotherwise you could open the rar file in ark probably by clicking on it, and then select the actions menu and extract, or you can drag the files from ark to where you want to put them and say to copy them there15:40
geniiDepending also on file extension you may need to install the compressor/decompressor for it. For example .rar or .zip extensions need this.15:45
aomegax4yes but these don't succed with me...15:45
aomegax4I have installed all...15:45
aomegax4rar, unrar zip tar gz15:46
aomegax4I trust it is a kde4 problem15:47

falckondoes anyone have a good idea for auto-detecting ati/nvidia graphics cards and switching on and off at boot (probably with a script which detects it using lspci) so that X starts with full opengl support?18:39
aorkwaminimax: I have Vista HP running in VirtualBox, but it's a violation of Vista's EULA IIRC.18:40
geniiaorkwa: So long as you don't have it installed on more than one machine, shouldn't violate18:41
extorHP being hewlett packards OEM licensed vista?18:41
geniiHP= Home Premium18:42
minimaxextor: no, the edition Home Premium, though I am personally using an Hewlett Packard18:42
aorkwagenii: I think Microsoft's EULA explicitly forbids running Home Premium in a virtual machine, even if you don't have it installed anywhere else.18:42
extorI was talking to aorkwa, sorry for the confusion minimax18:42
minimaxaorkwa: yeah.. though there's no way of telling you are, and not much they can do18:43
minimaxexcept make code that breaks in a virtual machine, which is what I'm afraid of18:44
extorIf I wanted to make the kubuntu desktop similar to the gnome-ubuntu desktop in terms of having two taskbars, bottom and top, which behave exactly as in gnome with the top being a launchpad and the bottom being a taskbar...is that easy to do? Anyone done it and are there any web pages that show how to do it?18:44
minimaxaorkwa: btw, have you tested the seamless mode?18:45
minimaxextor: running a second kicker?18:46
extorwhat is a kicker? and how do I run one?18:46
geniikicker is the kde taskbar name18:47
minimaxextor: I'm not using kde3 anymore, though18:47
extorwhere can I adjust the kicker settings from, specifically the one which launches two kickers?18:48
aorkwaminimax: Yes I have. It works OK, although it probably doesn't work with Aero. I can't check that because I don't have enough RAM to use Aero.18:48
i3ooi3ooBooVeMan_work: no it' a removalbe dvd drive in a laptop that exchanges with a removable HDD18:48
minimaxaorkwa: heh, how much ram do you have alloced?18:48
minimaxaorkwa: I'm trying with the recommended 512MB, because I've only got 4GB18:49
aorkwaminimax: I have the recommended 512MB allocated.18:49
minimaxbtw, I've only got 32-bit edition, but can Vbox run 64-bit guests?18:50
Nyleextor, gu18:52
Nyleextor, kicker is the panel you see18:52
aorkwaminimax: Not at the moment, I don't think, but if I remember correctly they're working on it.18:52
Nyleyou can right click the panel in kde, and go to Add New Panel18:52
Nylethen you can coinfugre this panel and put it on top and add kicker applets to them18:53
Nyleyou can adjust your panels anywhich way you want18:53

Deinis it fixable?18:57
Nyleso this is the package that overwrites that file, and when you try to remove kio-umountrwapper it gives error18:58

Nyletake a look at the link genii got from bot19:01
Deindoesn't work19:01
Nylei would think if you rename the file being overwritten it should continue and dpkg-deb shouldn't error out19:02
geniiDein:  What says command:     ls /var/cache/apt/archives/konqueror*19:02
aorkwazabbadap: I hardly ever use Vista anymore anyway (it broke; I switched to Kubuntu) so it doesn't really matter that much. I just keep it there because I paid for it.19:02
Deinwell, it's two lines so i'll paste here /var/cache/apt/archives/konqueror_4%3a3.5.9-0ubuntu7.2_i386.deb19:02

falckonextor: I'd recommend trying xubuntu, its still ubuntu so you'll be familiar with it but its much lighter19:06

TheTsarWhat is better xubuntu or kubuntu?19:07
falckonyep basically, i'm running it on a 233 laptop myself19:07
geniiTheTsar: Remember you're asing this in #kubuntu :)19:07
extorfalckon, how much ram?19:08
TheTsargenii: Will the people there not be a little one sided?19:08
falckoni think its 192, but xubuntu is still your best bet cause kubuntu will be slow on that system, i had to use the alternative installer too because it couldn't run the live environment19:09
geniiTheTsar: "what is better" is basically a subjective question to begin with. And since we are kubuntu based in this channel the answer from most here will almost always side that way. Best just to try both and decide for yourself what "what is better" for your tastes19:09

PhilRodjosePH: if you don't notice any actual slowdown on your system, just remove the "runaway process catcher" from your panel22:49
