[00:12] help !! =/ === sayaleproso is now known as SaYa === SaYa is now known as SaYaLePRoSo [00:13] alguien que me pueda ayudar ? [00:13] .d [00:15] so I just re installed Flashplugin non free from the repo into this womans Kubuntu and it's still doing it. Flash stuff is not loading in Firefox. any ideas? [00:17] SebNaitsabes: in firefox does anything show in about:plugins ? [00:18] i'll have to try stuff like that next time [00:18] I was vncing her [00:18] and she had to go [00:18] ah ok [00:18] ,but I just remove the plugin and put it back on again [00:18] and looked for some plugins folder in .mozilla that I could not find [00:19] should be in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:19] er, firefox/plugins [00:20] yeah I went looking for [00:20] which is a link to /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin [00:20] a folder that I knew should be there === kat is now known as Guest30866 [00:20] moin moin [00:20] some people have problems with wireless cards in ubuntu [00:21] whilst 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 before [00:21] it is possible, I've done it myself but it's very unstable. [00:21] so I just gave up on that idea :) [00:21] well some stupid game on Facebook that she wants to run maybe needs it [00:21] i posted one solution for that [00:22] http://www.republicaubuntu.org.do/foro/viewtopic.php?t=1309 [00:22] flash sometimes wont load on firefox 3 [00:22] why? [00:22] I'm still using FF2 [00:22] refreshing wont fix it [00:23] same glitch with firefox 2 as well [00:23] i never have this problem in firefox [00:23] hummmmmmm and on mine I get problems like slowness and freezes with Firefox 3 in Ubuntu [00:23] maybe its a 64 bit thing [00:23] she is using 32bit [00:23] :( [00:23] is big trouble inst linux 64 bits version [00:23] doesn't the latest flash work under x64? [00:23] im trying to buy some tracks on beat port but its just fnarked up [00:24] well flash does work fine [00:24] maybe it's worth trying to get Flash plugin working in konqueror as well [00:24] when it wants to [00:24] well oddly enough [00:24] for me, video performance sucks in flash but other than that it's good. [00:24] same glitch in konqueror [00:24] seriously [00:24] ah yea, I've had the same in konq [00:25] what would really suck is having to use the WIndows Firefox under Wine or something like that [00:25] well she woudn't care [00:25] * icarus test [00:25] ,but I sure as hell would [00:25] it could work for hours all day [00:25] then suddenly [00:25] *plop* [00:25] its broke [00:25] like a magic gblin sneezed onit or something [00:25] goblin* [00:25] hi all [00:26] its makes no sense [00:26] hi [00:26] or it does make sense since it's propritary closed source software [00:26] I 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] ..... [00:26] which does make me think of gnash again [00:26] ahhhh [00:26] is gnash any good then? [00:26] ,but the open source flash palyer lacks certain features and I have not tryed it [00:27] I don't think gnash can do videos yet (or probably never will) [00:27] i dont think id try buying music on beatport with gnash [00:27] not the adobeś non free plugin still better than gnash [00:27] hmmm...... [00:27] :( [00:27] is there a way to choose which plugin for a flash video? [00:27] I mean [00:27] any flash [00:27] yeah [00:27] you get flash or gnash [00:27] thats the choice [00:27] yeah [00:27] do I can get 8.6 version of ati driver from any repo or I must install with ATI installer?? [00:27] I meant have both installed [00:28] and say I want this plugin no I want that plugin [00:28] .... [00:28] choose between the plugin [00:28] i guess you could [00:28] try it... if something breaks.... say a swear [00:28] use envy to inatall this graphic card [00:28] 8.6 version? [00:28] whats the best way to flash a DVD drives firmware with the applications don't work on linux to flash the drive? [00:29] personally I would like to see flash die a horrible death an d make the internet liveable again. [00:29] mikedomo: I checked it, it's right [00:29] could 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 so [00:29] lol@Mrkennie I right there with you on the flashing hoping to die [00:29] ok :) iesergi [00:30] mikedomo: it seems be not-compiled version... [00:30] and that;s for silverlight, keep it. Why bother porting it mono guys, MS 0wn novell too! [00:30] action script 3 is good [00:30] sorry about the rant [00:30] but... [00:30] mainly made of ass [00:30] well [00:30] I've had to do some actionscript in my time. [00:31] as2.0 that is [00:31] i once used visual art software made in actionscript 3 [00:31] fairly stable [00:31] oh mikedomo, it is compiling now itself ^^ [00:31] but i was using a mac though [00:31] mind you id rather set fire to my mac than use it [00:32] mikedomo: thanks you very much, let's restart X server [00:32] bye [00:32] although one pro for flash is that it has got rid of that nasty realplayer for *nix and everyone can watch videos again! [00:32] see ya [00:32] real player was made by hitler and satan [00:32] in one weekend [00:32] and they werent even really trying [00:32] at least the linux version was [00:33] oh yes [00:33] omg Real Player staff actually knew what linux was? [00:33] wow [00:33] -_- [00:33] it was hard to even find the download on their site I recall [00:33] had to google it [00:33] then they created Real Arcade [00:33] which..... [00:33] died [00:33] horribly [00:34] i dont like real player i love kaffeine [00:34] kaffeine is great, so is caffeine! [00:34] simple fast [00:34] awesome :) [00:35] give me that and amarok and my computerised life is complete [00:36] armarok scares me its playlist system confuses me [00:36] amarok with mysql as a database manager is amazig [00:36] it can take a while tog et used to but it's worth it [00:36] of music compilations [00:36] I tried that but got terribly slow [00:36] is it hard to switch to esd instead of arts? [00:37] ill give it another go but right now super happy idiot proof xmms keeps me happy [00:37] Hm, I prefere SMplayer, Amarok is...well..Amarok, but don't forget K3b and Konqueror ;) [00:37] what about Foobar? [00:37] zhobbs: why would you want to use esd? [00:37] oh wait [00:37] k3b a great cd burner [00:38] oh, k3b! [00:38] MrKennie: 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 otherwise [00:38] i bought ut3 ages ago....... got it home.... then realised there is no linux client [00:38] o_o [00:38] zhobbs: oh, hmm. What application is that? [00:38] esd a daemon sound sounds very good when use xmms [00:38] ive been staring at the box of it all day [00:38] jonathan_: I thought there was [00:38] jonathan_: I remember playing the demo [00:38] nope [00:38] ..... [00:39] i cant find the linux client anywhere [00:39] seriously [00:39] i have been everywhere [00:39] I used to paly wit ha buddy who used to hang out on here (freenode) [00:39] then he got the full version and I didn't :P [00:40] maybe there was a linux demo but there still is no linux full version [00:40] ah poo [00:40] MrKennie: closed source bete software [00:40] fucking ATI card :'( [00:40] now what have we learned from this lesergi? [00:40] dont buy ATI ever [00:40] jonathan_: that sucks, I just googled and it seems to be something in the works [00:41] why when I use 3D in my card computer halts!!! [00:41] jonathan_: xD [00:41] yes in the works....... its being programmed by the Epic Games mascott ..... pan pan the fat hamster [00:41] zhobbs: that's strange, usually closed software goes for at least OSS [00:41] i use nvidia because the sopport for linux driver is better [00:41] yeah, it has oss mode, but doesn't work (even with artsdsp) [00:41] never known anything to depend on sound daemons but I live a simple life I guess. [00:42] I'll change my ati card for girlsfriend nvidia card ^^ [00:42] zhobbs: can you tell me what the program is? [00:42] i use nvidia because i like to be controled by a corperation whos logo looks like the All Seeing Eye [00:42] if you buy an nvidia they will tell you to buy an ati [00:42] hahaha [00:42] hehehehehe [00:43] all hail the golden eye of zorgron king of the potato kingdom [00:43] * MrKennie bows [00:43] so, really nvidia better in linux? [00:43] well in my case yes [00:43] nvidia is the true road...... do not listen to the others....... they are false profits [00:43] I've always stuck with nvidia where possible but I have an older ati card which using opensource drivers works very well. [00:44] in my laptop I have an ATI card with no-problems... [00:45] If you're going for Linux support, you'd probably want Intel [00:45] yeah because the open ati drivers are released this year and for that reason ati drivers will very soon more stable tha nvidia`s drivers === sayaleproso_ is now known as SaYa_LePRoSo [00:45] is it just me or is the only way to make computer music with VST plugins and samplers? [00:45] Dragnslcr: I agree, kde4.1 with all the compiz stuff works brilliantly on my laptop which has Intel gfx [00:46] 7 days left to 4.1 right? [00:46] or 8? [00:46] lesergi: 29. july [00:46] I'd guess that within a year or two, Intel's graphics chipsets will be powerful enough to do anything for normal desktop use [00:46] tagged 4.1 on tuesday and the following week it's realised [00:46] so, 8 days xD [00:46] kde 4.1! [00:47] rc1 still needs lots of work though [00:47] yeah [00:47] kubuntu integration too [00:47] yeah i prefer use it in october [00:47] or maybe Mark Shuttleworth has a contract with nvidia... he just looks like sth. gnaws at his conscience [00:47] 4.1 at rc1 is still way better than 4.0.x IMO [00:48] i hope so that [00:48] so, can I do something to avoid computers reboot when I use 3D????? [00:48] it's better, but very buggy [00:48] yea [00:48] lesergi: agp or pciex? [00:48] agp [00:49] I don't know what to do [00:49] soemtiems fast write can cause problems [00:49] if it's enabled int he bios [00:49] ah good old fast write [00:49] fast write, I must disable it, right? [00:49] but now you can pay $60 for a DX10 card [00:49] if it's enabled yea, if not then it can't be that [00:50] usually it's disabled by default but who knows [00:50] MrKennie: if it is disable, what can I do? :( [00:51] I did not see information about error in logs [00:51] lesergi: check agp aperture size, I've had problems with it set to high [00:51] it doesn't need to be really anything if you have a lot of gfx memory [00:51] too high* [00:52] I'm running 8.04 and I'd like some help fixing my sound system. I have 5.1 speakers from a soundblaster audigy platinum ex and before was getting only 2 channels of sound. I forgot to backup a file I was editing I think it was pulse.conf in /etc for the pulseaudio system, and now I dont have sound. I want to be able to run speaker-test -c 6 and get sound out of all channels. Right now I'm getting *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused [00:52] Playback open error: -111,Connection refused [00:52] [00:52] aperture size? in bios too? [00:52] yeah [00:52] aye [00:52] can anyone direct me to a linux music channel? [00:52] oks [00:53] MrKennie: thanks a lot, I'm goint to reboot and I turn back ::P [00:53] why are all fruit cakes are baked on "yum echad hashabuwa" the first day of the week ? [00:53] jonathan_ linux music ? [00:53] there used to be a radio show on here [00:54] um, basically, can anyone help me fix my pulseaudio system? [00:54] not anymore though, been a few years too. =( [00:54] * intelikey just wonders what linux music is ? [00:54] a irc for people making music on linux [00:54] why its the music of the kernel of course [00:54] oh, lol [00:55] jonathan_ i'm still not sure i follow you, but check !freeformats [00:55] hmm...... take the linux kernal...... pack it into a file.... change the file extention to .ogg and run it. [00:55] kernel* [00:55] hi how can i change login manager ? [00:56] heh jonathan_ cat /boot/vmlinuz* > /dev/dsp [00:56] as in a chatroom for poor people who wanna make music using linux stuff like Ardour and Rosegarden? [00:56] jonathan_: maybe there's an #ardour which should have more info? [00:56] homie just install another one. [00:56] thanks at least its a start [00:57] Are there any security apps we should install on linux i.e. a firewall configuring tool [00:57] I was playing around with Hydrogen yesterday. Very cool stuff. [00:57] i have kdm and gdm i want to use kdm [00:58] hi again [00:58] homie: dpkg-reconfigure kdm/gdm, doesn't matter which [00:58] lesergi: hi [00:58] agp fast write was enabled, I disabled it [00:58] lesergi: OK, any luck? [00:58] aperture from 64->32 [00:59] I did glxgears and no errors... [00:59] cool [00:59] I'll play urban terror... [00:59] good luck :) [00:59] I'll tell you [00:59] thanks !!! :D [01:00] is urban terror any good? === yintelike is now known as Agent_bob [01:00] I can't even remember what it is. I've not played games for well over a year now. [01:00] is it an addon for ET? [01:00] free counterstrike [01:00] basically [01:01] ah, I remember, yea it's a very good mod [01:01] i thought i t was a stand alone game [01:01] probably is by now [01:01] I remember playing it when it was a mod [01:02] a huge mod at that. [01:02] biggest free game on linux is free space 2.... [01:02] oh my god its unbelivable === intelikey is now known as _2 [01:03] if you install it it basically installs every community made thing in one go for freespace 2 [01:03] <_2> jonathan_ there isn't any money in writing free games. [01:03] you will never finish it theres so much content [01:03] nope [01:04] hi, I have 2 cameras, both are kodak easyshare cameras, but one is a c330, the other a c430 [01:04] one works in digikam, but the other does not [01:04] <_2> set to disk mode anom01y ? [01:04] _2: both set to auto [01:04] <_2> set to disk mode anom01y [01:05] So 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 linux [01:05] not I [01:05] move drive to another machine. [01:06] they are all linux [01:06] using a 'not quite legal' live cd.. is proberly against channel rules.. heh.. good luck [01:06] init6: put the drive in a linux box [01:06] It is, [01:07] but all the software to flash the drive are .exe and wine wont let me flash it [01:07] probably not a good idea to try via wine anyway [01:07] flashing from wine. would be a scary idea also. [01:07] the 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 wine [01:07] _2: ok will try that first [01:08] init6: I would guess check related forums/newsgroups. Not really the right place to discuss here. [01:09] thats cool, I googled the crap out of this issue. This is normaly my last stop. Thanks thou. [01:09] :) [01:09] hi [01:09] I am using kubuntu hurdy 8.04 [01:09] its nice [01:09] great [01:10] :) [01:10] its more friendly than debian [01:10] and new [01:10] and it works [01:10] but sometimes my pc freeze up and nothing works [01:10] I ran full memtest and it seem to bo ok [01:11] man is kde have some wierd issues. [01:11] but sometimes I can move the mouse but everything elseis locked and sysrq don't work either [01:11] Is there a way to hide windows from the taskbar that are on other desktops? [01:11] histo, yes [01:11] Nyle: how's your CPU temp? [01:11] show windows from workspace option somewhere in kcontrol [01:11] MrKennie, hang on [01:11] Nyle: and which graphics card you got [01:11] Core 0: +48.0°C (crit = +85.0°C) [01:11] Core 1: +48.0°C (crit = +85.0°C) [01:12] * Githzerai wonders where are all those Debian lovers now? They missed that and it works part... :D [01:12] looks sweet [01:12] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz [01:12] ok, CPU is no problem. Graphics card? [01:12] which sensors read it? [01:12] i don't know how to configure to find temp of gfx [01:13] what program to use [01:13] oh, no I mean which one you got? [01:13] sorry, I should have been more specific :) [01:13] X1900 XTX w/ fglrx (from kubuntu) [01:13] 256mb [01:13] hmm [01:13] r580 chipset [01:13] MrKennie: I love you :P [01:13] amd64 kubuntu [01:14] It works fine [01:14] lesergi: I'm pleased it works :) [01:14] i use ubuntu/kubuntu every single time on every single release [01:14] and every time it makes me angry because it dont' works [01:14] and i have to go back into the debian [01:14] Nyle: I will hand this over to the ATI exports, I don't have much experience with ATI. [01:14] haha [01:14] but this one new is good [01:14] experts* [01:14] this new kubuntu is work nice [01:14] but sometimes i got lockups [01:15] hey guys, if anyone if good with kernel updating and grub, please see if you can answer my question, thanks. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865545 [01:15] sometime pc work fine for days and sometime I have it crash 10 times in a day [01:15] Nyle: Although it may not be the ATI driver, ATI are not known for great drivers unfortunatley :( [01:15] or AMD/ATI as it is now [01:15] there is no 3d support in radeonhd yet [01:15] and the one from git doesn't build these days [01:16] hey, does anyone know how to get shortcuts working under kde 4.1? [01:16] they may have fixed it but it is still a little sketchy [01:16] the gui to create shortcuts is useless [01:16] ask #kde also [01:16] i did [01:16] ok [01:16] Nyle: hang around for someone experienced with ATI, I can't really be of much help, sorry. [01:16] ati? [01:16] thank you [01:16] :D [01:16] what's yoru problem [01:17] its not a gfx card issue [01:17] i just got here [01:17] it happen also sometime in radeon driver [01:17] or driver issue [01:17] there is no logs nothing [01:17] just system lockup randomly, no input works, sysrq + stuff doesn't work [01:17] ok [01:17] sysrq + b doesn't reboot [01:17] what is your cpu usage when it locks up [01:17] i have to hard reset [01:18] how could I know [01:18] run system manager [01:18] uhm [01:18] dude [01:18] or whatever shows cpu usage [01:18] do you understand what I'm saying? [01:18] yes i do [01:18] yoru system locks up b/c of the radeon driver [01:18] no [01:18] wtf anytime I minimize or close limewire to the taskbar by the clock I can't get focus back for the mouse [01:18] its not a driver issue [01:18] :) [01:18] then it's a cpu issue [01:19] what's ur cpu [01:19] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz [01:19] ok [01:19] hmm... [01:19] some people have problems with high cpu usage when idle [01:19] it causes random freezes at random times [01:19] not frequently [01:20] but when it does happen, it happens many times in a row [01:20] but then its fine again [01:20] its not a heat issue either [01:20] I can't narrow down it [01:20] what type of memory do u have [01:20] i tested psu with psu tester [01:20] I made memtest for many complete full passes [01:20] ic [01:20] so it just randomly freezes? nothing responds? [01:20] correct [01:20] ok === stmiller|away is now known as stmiller [01:21] have you tried restarting X while it is frozen? [01:21] ctr alt backspace [01:21] input doesn't work [01:21] ic [01:21] if sysrq+b doesn't work, nothing will [01:21] well idk about that problem.. [01:21] its not aproblem [01:21] if it is a video driver prob. i can help [01:21] if not, idk [01:22] all kernels these days are compiled with magic sysrq support [01:22] as does debian and in turn ubuntu/kubuntu [01:22] kaiwen: type dmesg in konsole and seee if you get and seek/request errors [01:22] ok [01:22] any* [01:22] er, not kawain sorry, Nyle [01:23] kaiwen, http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/sysrq.htm [01:23] lol [01:23] no [01:23] here are no ata errors in syslog [01:23] idk man [01:23] can't help u there [01:24] nothing in dmesg output [01:24] Nyle: you have tested the card in Windows? [01:24] kaiwen, look at that link, you may find it useful [01:24] seems most lockups i have are either drives dieing.. or video drivers crashing.. [01:24] MrKennie, it all works fine in windows and debian [01:24] ok [01:24] Nyle: what for. [01:25] if you dont' look, you will never know :) [01:25] i'm looking at it now [01:25] if 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] Nyle: 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] i don't need it though ;) [01:25] MrKennie, I see [01:26] MrKennie, I also went through that once [01:26] MrKennie, I changed the cable and my disks were no longer being recognized as BzBzBzBzBzBz but by the correct drive name/serial# [01:27] kaiwen, you saying you could never use that info I told you about? [01:27] Nyle: what is your kernel version? uname -a in konsole [01:27] I 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] ok buddy... your choice. It is VERY useful when you need it... then again if you don't care.. go ahead and reboot [01:28] Nyle: well i don't need it right now ;) [01:28] Nyle: my problem is about shortcuts in kde 4.1 [01:29] I am aware of that [01:29] the gui configuration is broken [01:29] i'll book mark it to make u happy [01:29] ;) [01:29] you don't honestly believe I'd tell you about the magis sysrq key in reponse to your original query, do you? [01:29] Nyle: type uname -r in konsole, and tell us your result. [01:29] Linux desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 21:01:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:29] ok, all upto date. [01:29] daily updates [01:29] I love the adept update manager [01:30] kubuntu has come a long way [01:30] how recent? I think there was a restricted modules update today [01:30] I update everyday [01:30] actually [01:30] whenever I see a notice to update [01:30] ok [01:30] nah no updates in console either [01:31] no package lists were diff'd [01:31] Nyle: not really sure, it could be many things. [01:31] yeh buddy [01:31] I'm also scratching my head [01:31] :) [01:31] Nyle: most common cause for that is graphics and hdd like others have mentioned here. [01:31] it maybe be a hardware issue [01:31] this system is 2 years old [01:31] maybe the motherboard is giving out? [01:32] maybe your PSU is faulty, that can cause it. [01:32] 2 of 4 ram slots are dead [01:32] When in doubt.. open it up. give it a good cleaning.. check all cables/reseat the ram, and so forth. [01:32] motherboard could have a fault. [01:32] Dr_willis, done it [01:32] 2 of 4? icky. :) thats not a good sign. [01:32] i know [01:32] ;) [01:32] oh [01:32] I mean to upgrade soon, just a funding issue atm [01:32] well you never mentioend that :) [01:32] it may verywell be the mobo [01:32] I just remembered [01:32] I apologize [01:33] I could well put money on your mobo then [01:33] being the fault [01:33] oh [01:33] there were a lot of bad capaciaters being used a few years back. [01:33] I thought you were going to buy me a new mobo [01:33] :) [01:33] haha [01:33] seeing a lot of death of MB's lately at work. :) [01:33] put _your_ money on _my_ motherboard [01:33] ;) [01:33] hw manufacturers have gotten cheap [01:34] yea, when I was in teh trade a couple fo years ago, bursting/leaking caps were common [01:34] hi, I have 2 cameras, both are kodak easyshare cameras, but one is a c330, the other a c430 [01:34] yup [01:34] one works in digikam, but the other does not [01:34] I've seen very much leakage on video card caps too [01:34] and modems [01:34] made recently for dialup [01:35] Nyle: welp, I would start saving for a new mobo, other than that I can't offer any more suggestions === nick__ is now known as mudge [01:37] why did u guys decide it's a faulty mobo instead of a faulty graphics card [01:37] nevermind i read up [01:37] nobody has decided from where I'm sitting [01:38] it's a case of why waste time on soemthing already faulty I guess [01:38] if it works fine in debian and windows why would it be the mobo [01:38] Alright how do I remove kubuntu-desktop now? [01:38] Tried KDE for a while not a big fan. [01:39] Maybe try it again when 4 comes out mainstream. [01:39] miraclemaxim: if you have any suggestions that can help Nyle then fine. I'm out of ideas. [01:39] !puregnome [01:39] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [01:39] well no suggestion is better than a bad suggestion [01:40] it's bad to suggest replacing a faulty mothergboard? [01:40] from what i can tell his mobo sounds fine [01:40] you missed the part where he mentions 2 ram slots are dead? [01:41] omg..... [01:42] i found the mother load of VSt plugins [01:42] O_O [01:50] I have a problem where switching to another user sometimes kills my session. Any ideas? :) [01:51] thanks [01:51] I think so too MrKennie [01:52] what is a good chipset to go with, something for core2 or better, with pref. 4gb ram max don't need 8, and onboard intel gfx [01:52] something good enough to do 3d gaming under ubuntu for ubutugames.org site [01:52] like nexiuz, open arena etc. etc. [01:52] Nyle: well, I hope you find a solution soon so you can enjoy kubuntu :) [01:53] currently I have ich8(r) [01:53] Nyle: I'm using nforce4 with an AMD NB which is pretty old now. [01:53] oh, and I may also require PATA support [01:54] pref. chipset based and not a 3rd party controller [01:54] but I heard intel dropped support for pata lately [01:55] Nyle: I'm a bit out of touch with the latest and greatest [01:55] are you very old? [01:55] like a grampa? [01:55] :) [01:55] haha no [01:55] just wondering [01:55] hehe [01:55] i am [01:56] i'm like [01:56] 18 [01:56] God for some reason can't get rid of kio-umountwrapper [01:56] I wonder if I'm the oldest here [01:56] Getting errors removing it. [01:56] MrKennie, how old are you? [01:56] 28 [01:56] 33 [01:56] histo, please pastebin your output [01:56] k [01:56] <--- 27 [01:57] I feel old now [01:57] !paste [01:57] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:57] you shouldn't feel old [01:57] grampa #kubuntu [01:57] Grumpubuntu! Ubuntu for the Grumpy Grampa Human Beings [01:58] hehe [01:58] I should grow a beard like RMS and become an OSS evangelist [01:58] 8 [01:59] Nyle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28871/ [02:00] although like it or not, RMS is alot more intelligent than me [02:00] Thats the last kde package I have left to remove. [02:01] I think he is very intelligent, though a comparison is futile [02:01] histo: are any kio services still running? [02:02] well I tried ps aux | grep kio and see nothing [02:02] no [02:02] its not that [02:02] its to do with diversions [02:02] Any way to fix it? [02:02] something I can't recall but it has to do with a package perhaps ovewriting some files [02:02] from another package [02:02] or the opposite of that or I dunno its something along those lines [02:03] you could try dpkg -r --force-all but I only do that in extreme cases. [02:03] dpkg-divert - override a package’s version of a file [02:03] no [02:03] don't force [02:03] dpkg-divert: error checking `/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop': No such file or directory [02:03] try this [02:04] sudo touch /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop [02:04] and then try to remove the package again [02:04] what is d3lphin anyway? never heard of it [02:04] never seen it spelt like that [02:05] dolphin [02:05] I know about dolphin though [02:05] which is the file manager. [02:05] maybe it has something to do with delphi? [02:05] not sure [02:05] don't know something with kio aparently [02:05] well, as sudo try to touch the file [02:05] though i doubt it will work [02:05] maybe you could cp a this .desktop file from the diff location to this one, and perhaps dpkg-divert won't give you an error [02:06] It can't touch it because it doens't exist [02:06] I tried creating it too that didn't work [02:06] histo, man touch [02:06] You can't use touch on a file that isn't there. [02:06] yes [02:06] histo, try "touch ~/histo_sucks" [02:07] you will get a blank file [02:07] with that filename [02:07] the path doesn't exist [02:07] what is d3lphin man [02:07] I completely screwed my sound up and have none, could someone please help me get alsa working? I've been trying to get it working with 5.1 sound now for a few hours, sound card is Audigy [02:07] Yes but you can't touch wihtin a path that isn't there. [02:07] histo, oh yes [02:08] you're right about that [02:08] A file manager for kde [02:10] looks like a force would be safe [02:10] I can't see what can be affected by it [02:10] Yeah especially since I don't need kde anymore [02:11] Force didn't even get rid of it. [02:12] It appears its partially removed its showing a status of rH in dpkg [02:12] I wonder if it's because konq and dolphin are sim,ialr in functionality and dpkg-divert enables you to use one or the other. [02:13] Man this sucks [02:15] ahh its a bug trying a fix [02:16] sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/ [02:17] sry wrong window [02:17] actually [02:17] in this case [02:17] Just created that directory and made a file in there and it remove kio its a bug [02:17] you can just even force it and i think it will be fine [02:18] ok [02:18] bug 186729 [02:18] Launchpad bug 186729 in kio-umountwrapper "Cannot uninstall kio-umountwrapper" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/186729 [02:18] Forcing it didn't work. [02:18] you found it [02:18] cool good job [02:18] you are the man [02:18] :) [02:19] ty all for your help === van is now known as FastPutty === d is now known as Guest98212 [02:20] Gell guys need a quick help with Wine [02:20] i cannot start my games.. is there a way to figure out the problem?

[02:21] not much needs to be changed really, jsut go through each tab, expecially sound. [02:21] hmm ok [02:21] seem not having porblem anywhere..

[02:54] shaffy: ./myscript.sh for bash scripts [02:56] Dontrelle: 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). [02:57] shaffy: does the script output lines using "echo"? [02:59] Dontrelle: http://pastebin.com/d1375735a [03:01] shaffy: I see what you mean now. I'm not sure why it doesn't show the output [03:02] amarok is saying it does not have mp3 support, when i click to install nothing happens. [03:02] Dontrelle: if i was to use "echo", do i just put it in front of the wget command? [03:02] hello [03:02] hi [03:05] shaffy: If running the command via a terminal window outputs the progress, then it should do the same thing in the script that you wrote. === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [03:24] i would just make a script that called the other script with 'xterm -e scriptname' :) === root is now known as Guest8275 === Pici` is now known as Pici [03:50] selam [03:52] hi === manager is now known as manager__ [03:52] hi [03:54] !hi [03:54] Hi!

[04:07] is the kde 4.1 RC1 in the repos yet? [04:08] mot_: #kubuntu-kde4 please [04:08] genii: yes, it is enabled. so puzzling. [04:09] shaffy: Could you pastebin result of: apt-cache policy sun-java6-bin [04:10] also [04:10] what does it mean when i try to apt-get upgrade and packages have been 'kept back'? [04:10] genii here is another error message when i go about trying to uninstall firefox-2. http://pastebin.com/d4bb2623f [04:10] and yes, i will paste that next for you [04:11] genii: here you go http://pastebin.com/d4201614a [04:11] shaffy: Looks like the two errors are related [04:12] any ideas genii? [04:12] how do i do this: "This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)" [04:13] shaffy: No immediate ones, the version it complains about not being able to install is same version apt says is available to install [04:13] shaffy: Are you on 64bit ?

[04:18] id like to start it when i log into fluxbox [04:20] genii: 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? [04:21] shaffy: Maybe it could not install that as a dependency automatically since I believe it needs a user input of agreement to continue installing it [04:22] that'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? [04:23] that is, if adept manager is a gui of aptitude (and not apt-get) [04:24] Kernel: 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-notifier [04:24] shaffy: It seems so. I generally use apt-get instead of aptitude so not overly familiar with it [04:25] genii: ah ok. awesome. thanks :-) [04:25] thanks for you input genii. much appreciated. have a great night/day. :) [04:25] Kernel: np [04:25] shaffy: You too :) === narg_ is now known as narg [04:45] hello, I am getting a grub error 15 message when I turn my PC on.

[04:49] oh no, it's my internal hard drive [04:50] I had the OS installed and suddenly it won't boot. I get this grub 15 error message instead [04:51] gabe1002: Did it boot at all into linux, or the error was right after install? [04:51] it did boot for a couple of days [04:51] that was 3 days ago [04:52] gabe1002: Did you shut it down while it was trying to run updates? [04:52] no, everything was find and like I said, today it just decided not to boot [04:53] gabe1002: OK. Are you on the livecd right now or another computer?

[04:56] in kde [04:58] gabe1002: It's not that simple, since the affected disk is not the disk we are booted into from livecd.

[05:20] with 4.1 [05:20] I can't link the windows key to the k-menu [05:20] the 3rd level window key setting trick doesn't work [05:20] which is stupid [05:21] and viewing a video file crashes dolphin [05:21] well the icon itself [05:23] Sydero do u know why it resets my panels to blank everytime i restart? [05:23] the panel is blank yet it shows the widgets as being present [05:24] no :S [05:24] maybe deleting .kde4 will fix it :P [05:24] what did deleting .kde and .kde4 do? [05:24] reset the settings [05:24] removes your kde settings [05:25] i.e. chosen fonts [05:25] dpi [05:25] basically puts it back to the defaults next time you login [05:25] i think i should do that too [05:25] 4.1 is acting like such a baby [05:25] it fixed a hell of a lot with 4.1 [05:26] Sydero: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28900/ <--- any idea how to fix that [05:27] sorry no idea, I'm still a newbie [05:28] wait [05:28] !kde4 [05:28] KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

Can you formulate it in a more precise and clear way? [10:02] Ok, step by step then: [10:02] Qwerty__, it might be some kind of bug in acpi.. not sure though [10:03] Qwerty is the problem that the computer does not turn itself off but halts itself when you want it to close down? [10:03] You put your pc to suspend mode. When you wake it up it asks the admin password, but since pc is in public use, you can't use thta [10:04] so you want to remove the password? [10:04] No it do goes off, it just won't come back to Kubuntu unless you give the password and automatic login is in use [10:04] Yes [10:04] you currently use kubuntu?

[10:11] <_2> oaidnfa you typomatic attic [10:11] <_2> set it and see what it changes. [10:11] Qwerty__ You need to go into your screen saving settings and go over the settings there... [10:11] time, lock screent, etc [10:12] Ok, I go test that, brb [10:12] _2 sorry [10:13] <_2> nothing just that you beet me to it [10:13] <_2> ;/ [10:13] _2 ok hehe we can say that you helped him if it works np [10:13] <_2> oaidnfa lol it's not that.

[10:15] <_2> no. it's ubuntu based. but you wouldn't really recognize it. [10:15] _2 lol [10:17] <_2> i mean i compile my own /bin/bash "fully posix compliant" write my own sysV style startup don't use partitions don't have swap don't use a gui but on occasion... [10:17] No, password asking wasn't on. [10:19] ok _2 ill let you help this guy out. because i need to go take care of other things but it is power settings acpi or screen saver. i think it is possible to fix it. bye.. [10:20] <_2> plasmast sure run off.... [10:21] So what do I need to change from power settings acpi and how do I get there? [10:23] <_2> Qwerty__ you don't have gdm installed do you ? ubuntu-desktop ? [10:24] <_2> Qwerty__ is it pure kde is what i'm asking ? [10:26] I have kde installed [10:27] <_2> but do you have gnome ? [10:27] No. [10:27] <_2> ok. [10:27] Should I have that? [10:28] <_2> check this in a konsole type: ls -l /etc/acpi/resume/*screen* [10:28] <_2> Qwerty__ what does it say ? [10:29] Wait, need to go find out, its on second floor. [10:29] So brb [10:29] <_2> short answer to the " Should I have that?" is NO not unless you want it. i'm just trying to understand all that your system is doing. [10:31] * _2 wonders why we are messing with suspend when he doesn't even have the two boxen nat'd yet ??? [10:35] I said that no such file found [10:35] <_2> !tab [10:35] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:37] <_2> Qwerty__ lets look one more time: find /etc/acpi -iname '*screen*' # means hit the tab key. and see if that finds a file [10:38] <_2> Qwerty__ if it does move it to your home. you'll have to use root to move it. [10:38] <_2> sudo mv /etc/blah/blah/blah ~/ [10:40] Ok, I go try that [10:43] I check if I can get myself to irc on that pc, would be a lot faster. ^^ [11:01] <_2> why would anyone want a spam bot in their channel ? [11:06] can someone help me back up my home ? [11:06] its been two months i am trying, nothing works. simple backup, keep, mondo [11:06] :s [11:07] <_2> tar [11:07] doesnt work [11:07] <_2> why not ? [11:07] says you don't have permission, and in properties it says i have permission [11:08] <_2> where you backing to ? [11:08] usb [11:08] <_2> what fs ? [11:08] doesnt matter, becausei have copied other things to it too [11:08] <_2> if you use tar it matters [11:09] prolly fat32 [11:09] minhaaj, how large is your /home ? [11:09] <_2> nope that wont work file size limitation [11:09] 700 mb [11:10] minhaaj, hmm.. try tarring to a local directory and then try copying to usb [11:10] what local dir ? i can't do it in home [11:11] <_2> well if that's all.... open a konsole and type in this. sudo tar -C ~/.. -czf backup001.tgz ~ [11:11] minhaaj, create yourself one with permissions [11:11] <_2> minhaaj ^ [11:12] what do you mean ? [11:12] what does that do _2 ? [11:12] <_2> it should mak a "backup001.tgz" file in /home (assuming you live in /home/$USER) [11:12] yes i do [11:12] hmm ok hang on [11:13] on its way [11:13] can i copy that tar into usb then ? [11:14] <_2> yep. mount the disk sudo cp ../backup001.tgz /mount/point/ [11:14] i also want to clear up the meanings of this term mount [11:14] what does this mean ? [11:14] <_2> mount command will be something like sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [11:14] in my case it would be /media/disk-1/backup [11:15] <_2> you can use sudo fdisk -l to find the exact device node [11:15] <_2> if you don't know it. [11:15] device node ? [11:15] can you explain [11:15] <_2> run the command ^ [11:17] <_2> it 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] yea b is for storage devices [11:17] and a for hard drives [11:17] <_2> no [11:18] read that in book [11:18] <_2> a is first recognized scsi device b is second c is third.... [11:18] <_2> they could all be hdd's they could be all external they could be any combonation thereof [11:18] yea but second device is called a2 [11:18] not b [11:18] <_2> no [11:19] <_2> second partition on device is called 2 [11:19] whats the difference ? [11:19] <_2> you need a new book [11:19] thats what i said. === ichigo_ is now known as ichigo__ [11:19] a b c partitions will be referred to as sda1 sda2 sda 3 === ichigo__ is now known as ichigo_ [11:20] <_2> minhaaj those are partitions not disks. tho [11:20] oh ok, sorry for the wrong terminology then [11:20] <_2> the disk is a the partitions are all on a [11:20] <_2> the second disk "aka device" is b [11:21] btw 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] ok good [11:21] then my usb is sdb1 [11:21] :) [11:22] <_2> your usb device is sdb in this case and the first partition on that device is sdb1 :))) get it right! [11:24] <_2> minhaaj 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 ntfs [11:26] <_2> there 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] ahh [11:27] oh got it. so partitions are numeric and devices are alpha [11:27] <_2> yep [11:27] device one a partition one 1 [11:27] <_2> yep [11:27] <_2> you got it [11:27] ok problems already [11:28] tar: Removing leading `/' from member names [11:28] tar: /home/minhaaj/.transmission/gtk/socket: socket ignored [11:28] tar: /home/minhaaj/.local/share/Trash/files/.gdesklets/sockets/%3A0.0: socket ignored [11:28] tar: /home/minhaaj/.gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied [11:28] tar: /home/minhaaj/.mozilla-thunderbird/u29ifao3.default/Mail/pop.gmail.com/Inbox: file changed as we read it [11:28] gdesklets is useless i deleted it, so its prolly ok. whats that gvfs permission prob ? [11:28] i prolly don't need transmission too [11:28] <_2> only problem i see is that you were down loading mail and backing up at the same time errr and don't know about pastebin. [11:29] lol i do [11:29] sorry i was a bit impatient [11:29] gotta do it again or ? [11:30] <_2> well unless you wanted to backup your "inbox" along with that. all should be fine. [11:30] shut down everything [11:30] you mean my emails ? [11:30] <_2> yes your new email [11:30] nah don't care [11:30] <_2> then it should be fine [11:30] but i am using xchat at the moment [11:30] how about this ? [11:30] <_2> it should be fine [11:30] hello! [11:30] let me quit pidgin and skype too [11:31] why should it be ? whats the logic ? if its bad for thunderbird why is it good for xchat ? [11:31] <_2> minhaaj 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] <_2> ark that the other [11:32] what do you mean ? [11:32] <_2> just open it. look at the content listing [11:32] my question was that why is it bad for thunderbird to back up while running and same is not true for xchat [11:32] ? [11:33] <_2> minhaaj only thing that *chat might be writing to is a log file in such case you may not want to save the irc-log anyway [11:34] please 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 frequencies [11:34] heyyyyyyyy its backing up back0001.tar.gz too [11:34] <_2> even konqueror can be generating new data while in use "think thumbnails" but a precise backup of that is futile anyway [11:34] isn't it an endless loop? backing up the back up ? [11:35] <_2> minhaaj did you use the exact command i gave ? [11:35] yes [11:35] i told you, you never place back up in home [11:35] ok its done [11:35] how do i check the integrity of the back up ? [11:37] hello ? [11:38] where is the configuration file for the screen resolution ?????????? nothing there in xorg.conf [11:38] <_2> minhaaj i didn't place backup in home. [11:39] <_2> sudo 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] i copy pasted it [11:39] yea its in minhaaj [11:39] /home/minhaaj [11:39] wasn't it where it was supposed to be ? [11:39] <_2> then you didn't do something right. [11:40] <_2> no. the -C ~/.. will change dir to parrent of your home. [11:40] well i checked the back up size its 4.8 gb [11:40] not bad [11:41] now 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] <_2> ummm too big for vfat [11:41] vfat ? [11:41] i can delete songs from it, np [11:41] <_2> your storage media [11:41] its 8 gb === frenk is now known as frenk_ [11:41] :) [11:41] <_2> but it's vfat you said === frenk_ is now known as frenk [11:41] i am not sure. [11:41] how do you check that ? [11:42] <_2> you mounted it ? [11:42] command ? [11:42] sudo mount /media/disk-1 [11:42] ? [11:42] <_2> mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt # or /media/disk-1 if you prefer [11:43] <_2> anyway issue the mount command without arguments [11:43] would that format my data ? [11:43] <_2> it will list what's mounted [11:43] ok [11:43] <_2> format ? no. [11:43] mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/disk-2 [11:44] <_2> minhaaj so issue mount and see what fs it is [11:45] how do i do that ? [11:45] just tell me commands :) [11:45] <_2> mount [11:45] didnt i just do it? [11:45] <_2> no [11:45] i did [11:45] sudo mount /dev/sdb1 [11:45] <_2> no [11:45] <_2> that is not the same as this [11:45] <_2> mount [11:45] <_2> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 [11:46] <_2> see the differance [11:46] <_2> one is one word the other is three [11:46] k [11:46] lemme pastebin [11:47] <_2> mount | grep dev/sdb1 # that would give the pertenant information [11:48] <_2> grep the filter of champions [11:48] yea right. command not found [11:48] <_2> copy and paste it [11:48] i did [11:49] <_2> obviously not all of it. or you got my nick with it. [11:49] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/28956/ [11:49] forget it [11:50] <_2> yep vfat. [11:50] <_2> and there is no way in hell that "grep" or "mount" is NOT on your system... so the "command not found is pebcak" [11:51] hehe [11:51] so what do we do now :) [11:53] <_2> let 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] <_2> that should get the size down to something you can store on a vfat system [11:54] <_2> and it will be in /home/ not in your home [11:54] err [11:54] delete the tar ? [11:55] <_2> yeah [11:55] <_2> the backup*.tgz in your home [11:55] ok its on it [11:56] Hello everyone [11:56] newbie to linux here [11:56] good now its backing up in / [11:56] welcome andy_ [11:56] <_2> minhaaj ? [11:56] <_2> no. in /home [11:57] no its its in / [11:57] where ever directory is, /var /etc /usr /home [11:58] <_2> ok i'm finished. if you can't get "cd ~/.." to put you in /home and you do live in /home/something/ i'm through. sorry man. i can't go any farther down that road. [11:59] <_2> only way that should have dumped you in / is if you were root when you did it. [11:59] <_2> makes no sense. and i'm gone. [12:01] :( [12:08] ARRGH! NOOO! [12:09] what happened to the X-server? [12:09] hello, ...? where are my configurations for screen resolution and for hsync and vsync?? [12:10] help! [12:10] using ati driver.. is that the problem?

[14:56] in xine parameters I believe [14:57] and wth is that? :D [14:59] do you think users would appreciate me making a video tutorial of kde4 for the beginners? with audio narration [14:59] grat idea ! :) [15:00] yeah just thought thats one thing thats missing. if i had it when i started it would have helped alot [15:02] i should probably wait for intrepid though [15:08] hi, 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 cards [15:08] so i thought I could just install them and make a startup script reconfigure X using lspci to detect which card (if any) was in the computer [15:09] hi [15:09] how can I utilize ark to extract .rar? [15:09] but after the nvidia binary driver is installed opengl support stops working in the i915 [15:09] what must I install? [15:10] aomegax4, i know you can use unrar [15:10] no I referr to graphical mode [15:10] 'apt-get install unrar' and then 'unrar x archivename.rar' [15:10] oh ok [15:10] ah ok [15:11] ark seems like it should support rar no problem [15:12] boh in kde4 doesn't go... [15:13] I have a .rar so I click with right mouse button but I haven't extract here but only open with ark -.- [15:15] perhaps I haven't any packaage...bah! I don't know it [15:17] i have changed to kde after installing it from ubuntu... as a result am i missing anything i should download asap? [15:18] slobad23, 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 installation [15:18] that is exactly what i did [15:18] ok, then you should be fine [15:18] thanks :-) [15:18] slobad23: You may want to add codecs etc [15:18] !codecs [15:18] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats === martijn81-2 is now known as martijn81 [15:31] how can i solve ark problem [15:31] ? [15:31] If you describe better the problem.... [15:33] aomegax4: A more detailed report of the exact problem with ark that you are having may be useful in assisting [15:35] i don't succed to extract file with ark [15:36] what must I do? [15:39] if you right click on the rar file, and go to actions -> "extract here" [15:39] this works for me [15:40] otherwise 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 there [15:45] Depending also on file extension you may need to install the compressor/decompressor for it. For example .rar or .zip extensions need this. [15:45] yes but these don't succed with me... [15:45] I have installed all... [15:46] rar, unrar zip tar gz [15:47] I trust it is a kde4 problem [15:47] because I have read in internet other people with the same problem... [15:48] unrar-nonfree [15:48] i don't know if the free implementation is up to the most current release, so that could explain it [15:51] i have installed unrar free [15:51] and unrar... [15:56] what is command to extract rar ? [15:57] aomegax4, unrar x file.rar [16:02] ĸ [16:08] hi guys I have a strange problem with home permissions [16:08] could anybody help me?

[18:39] does 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? [18:40] minimax: I have Vista HP running in VirtualBox, but it's a violation of Vista's EULA IIRC. [18:41] aorkwa: So long as you don't have it installed on more than one machine, shouldn't violate [18:41] HP being hewlett packards OEM licensed vista? [18:42] HP= Home Premium [18:42] extor: no, the edition Home Premium, though I am personally using an Hewlett Packard [18:42] genii: 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] I was talking to aorkwa, sorry for the confusion minimax [18:43] aorkwa: yeah.. though there's no way of telling you are, and not much they can do [18:44] except make code that breaks in a virtual machine, which is what I'm afraid of [18:44] If 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? [18:45] aorkwa: btw, have you tested the seamless mode? [18:46] extor: running a second kicker? [18:46] what is a kicker? and how do I run one? [18:47] kicker is the kde taskbar name [18:47] extor: I'm not using kde3 anymore, though [18:48] where can I adjust the kicker settings from, specifically the one which launches two kickers? [18:48] minimax: 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] BooVeMan_work: no it' a removalbe dvd drive in a laptop that exchanges with a removable HDD [18:48] aorkwa: heh, how much ram do you have alloced? [18:49] aorkwa: I'm trying with the recommended 512MB, because I've only got 4GB [18:49] minimax: I have the recommended 512MB allocated. [18:50] btw, I've only got 32-bit edition, but can Vbox run 64-bit guests? [18:52] extor, gu [18:52] extor, kicker is the panel you see [18:52] minimax: Not at the moment, I don't think, but if I remember correctly they're working on it. [18:52] you can right click the panel in kde, and go to Add New Panel [18:53] then you can coinfugre this panel and put it on top and add kicker applets to them [18:53] you can adjust your panels anywhich way you want [18:53] extor, help:/kicker/index.html [18:53] start reading [18:54] Nyle, that add new panel option was so "in my face" that I never realized it was there [18:54] it happens [18:54] :) [18:56] can anyone please analyze this and tell me how to fix? http://paste.ubuntu.com/29044/ [18:57] trying to overwrite `/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/media_safelyremove.desktop', which is also in package kio-umountwrapper [18:57] i remember this from yesterday [18:57] someone else had a problem with this package as well while they were trying to remove kio stuff [18:57] is it fixable?

[18:59] aorkwa: eula's are not legally binding everywhere afaik ... so big company can't expect you to obey "you must not use our product as drink coasters or whatever" in those places [18:59] yeh [18:59] i dunno exctly [18:59] but try this [18:59] I have a video file from my digicam in digikam, but the player of digikam hangs when i click on it.

[19:07] yep basically, i'm running it on a 233 laptop myself [19:07] TheTsar: Remember you're asing this in #kubuntu :) [19:08] falckon, how much ram? [19:08] genii: Will the people there not be a little one sided? [19:09] i 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 environment [19:09] TheTsar: "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.

I forgot my pwd for the kdewallet, I have my root pwd though, how do I get my kdewallet pwd? [19:20] Alternate install CD <--- Why is this recommended for low ram systems? What reason? [19:21] extor: it doesn't run a live-cd version of the operating system for the install [19:21] extor: uses less ram [19:21] ;-) [19:21] uses less ram for the installation? Or even after the install? I don't get it. [19:22] for the intsllation [19:22] extor: the ammount of ram zou use depends on other factors [19:22] right but you can just choose a text install..what was the point? [19:23] as ar as i know there is no text-intaller on the live disk anymore [19:23] wutsup [19:23] qepedo [19:24] wutsup [19:24] somebody in there?

[19:27] Pici: It's not a lowercase l or a pipe or an uppercae I [19:28] *i [19:28] genii: irssi seems to think its a lowercase l, and nicknames can't be any extended ascii characters. [19:29] genii: it's tab-completing as a lowercase l for me [19:29] Pici: Ah have it now. !tab wasn't working though for some reason === mike is now known as pulaski [19:39] i am trying to look for where i change the screen resoluton but cant seem to find it anywhere - am i being thick or is it just really well hidden?

Welcome to #kubuntu! === JulCes_ is now known as JulCes [20:05] ubottu's a pretty enthusiastic guy, obedient too [20:05] falckon: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:13] !coffee [20:13] coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [20:13] * genii decides to have one [20:14] Why did you teach that to ubottu? [20:14] sea_: So he can stay awake. [20:15] !ubottu [20:15] Hi! I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:15] uh oh, he's self-aware [20:15] hehe Almost, it seems sometimes [20:24] Is there a way to set KDE/Ubuntu that when I close my laptop screen, it enters standby mode? === Tizz is now known as Tizz__ === sandra_ is now known as sandra__ [20:30] Sydero: Click on battery meter. Choose at bottom: When Laptop Lid Closed what option you want for that action [20:35] hapchi [20:45] hi [20:45] can i ask a question? === Deviance is now known as TimS [20:47] scripted: you already did so [20:47] i guess so [20:48] !ask [20:48] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:48] i have some lines to mount several partitions in ntfs. how do i add them to fstab [20:48] i guess i was just checkin if anyone was around. [20:49] can i manually just add the changes opening the fstab file in kate? [20:49] and do i have to be carefull about the ordering of the command [20:50] # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /mnt [20:50] scripted: The fstab syntax is like: /dev/to-mount /mountpoint filesystem type(s) filesystem options dump number pass number [20:50] gtk-theme-switch2 does not seem to work properly... apply does nothing. does this need a restart of X or something? === daedalus__ is now known as zhog [20:51] scripted: And to edit it, you can do: alt-f2 kdesu kate /etc/fstab [20:51] thank you. [20:51] scripted: You're welcome [20:51] ill give it a go. [20:51] man fstab ,,, === adam is now known as Guest43925 [20:52] or is there something special you have to do in Kubuntu to enable gtk2 themes, besides installing them [20:52] i tried ntfs configuration tool. but its pants on a stick. [20:52] oh, this also fails with gtk-theme-switch, for gtk 1 themes [20:53] bbl [20:57] minimax: Normally it is done the other way, enforcing QT themes onto GTK apps, which package gtk-qt-engine or gtk-qt-engine-kde4 is normally used [20:57] genii: oh, gtk-qt-engine-kde4.. forgot, since I am using kde4 I should apt-get that [20:58] minimax: But you wanted to use GTK themes in ubuntu? [20:58] In kubuntu, rather [20:59] genii: I wanted to be able to set it, because it was the default unthemed look [21:00] minimax: OK, so then if you want firefox and allt hat to use the KDE theming, thats the one to use [21:01] if i have manually added them as root would it have already put the line in fstab for me? [21:01] scripted: ? [21:01] genii: I just symlinked the rc files, and it works [21:01] minimax: Good :) [21:01] there are entries in the fstab file that already pertain to the command line i want to enter. [21:02] genii: but Qt4, no matter what theme I have set for KDE4, looks like the default KDE4 theme [21:02] genii: not that it matters, I just didn't want the old blocky one [21:02] wtf [21:02] somebody gotta help me [21:02] i got like 150 processes of python running and i don't know why [21:03] scripted: Ah. So long as it has the correct options and so on which allow you to do what you want in the ntfs system, should be ok (and if the /dev names are right) [21:03] when i kill em, x seems to crash [21:03] im not going to killmu pc if i get it wrong. [21:03] *kill my [21:03] scripted: You should make a backup of the file first for insurance [21:04] help nado first lol. his problem sounds much more urgent lol [21:04] scripted: lol thanks. i got a ram usage of 1gb during idle [21:04] nado: Did you try to make some custom python script to run at boot? [21:04] what is the best free virtual machine software for linus? [21:04] genii: nope, nothing [21:04] linux [21:05] (sounds like infinitely recursing problem) [21:05] !virtualization [21:05] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [21:05] ^ KDave See above [21:06] if it were a script, there should be some entry under command in the process table or not? mine just says python [21:06] nado: Just "python" is running or some aspecific app name> [21:06] genii just python [21:06] genii: thanks I am reading it [21:07] I already have virtual box but it is not alowing my usb to be detected [21:07] which of them is the easiest to use? [21:08] and set up? [21:08] KDave: I don't use any but hear best things about VMWare [21:09] yeah I heard a little about that too [21:09] crap i'd like to know since when i got that problem... [21:09] I'll look into it [21:09] thanks [21:09] nado: Interesting. Is there something in /etc/init.d that looks like it has python as part of the name? [21:10] my init.d is empty? [21:10] oh no wait [21:10] KDave: vmware has no kernel package vor current ubuntu [21:10] nado: Definitely shouldn't be. Thats where the startup scripts are [21:10] i'm on virtualbox and works just fine [21:11] genii: right, i just tried to open it as a file, didn't know it's a folder. it's not empty, but no sign of anything related to python.... [21:12] genii: there isn't an option when I click the battery icon in the tray [21:13] nado: OK. How about anything in folder ~/.kde/Autostart like that? [21:13] nado: ~/.kde4/Autostart if on kde4 [21:13] nothing [21:14] nado:Anything in file /etc/rc.local ? [21:14] Does anyone in here have Kopete working with their webcam over MSN Messenger? [21:15] Sydero: When you right-click on it, should have Restore as an option to select. It should open the config screen [21:16] nope, just battery monitor options [21:16] and unlock widets [21:16] Sydero: Ask in #kubuntu-kde4 then please [21:16] :( [21:16] it's always inactive there [21:17] Sydero: You're using kde4, the battery applet doesn't have rightclick. They need to tell you a way specific to your kde version [21:17] crap, hit the wrong process again.... genii: nothing in rc.local either [21:18] nado: Hmm. Can you pastebin then the contents of files: ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc [21:18] !pastebin [21:18] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [21:19] genii: no such files in my home folder... [21:21] genii: just this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29094/ in .xsession-errors [21:24] Is apm useful anymore if a notebook computer has acpi? [21:27] BooVeMan_work: I have virtual box on my machine but I have difficulty getting it to accept usb connections [21:28] damn, i'm gonna get nuts [21:30] Did you make sure that it's enabled in the vbox options? [21:30] under settings [21:30] there is a mouse tooltip permanently open on my screen. i dont know which program created it, and i cant xkill it. other than restarting X, how might i get rid of it? [21:30] restart your entire computer :D [21:32] this might help for the usb thing http://buranen.info/?p=187 [21:32] Since changing /etc/fstab like many people and user's manual suggest to do don't solve the problem, I tried this way: [21:32] 1 - create a new group called "usb"; [21:32] 2 - locate file usbfs: in my case is /sys/bus/usb/drivers (I suggest to find the file with a usb device inserted; [21:32] 3 - modify file /etc/fstab inserting a line containing the right path and the number corresponding the "usb" group : [21:32] none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=503,devmode=664 0 0 [21:32] 4 - command mount -a; [21:32] 5 - start VB and try...; [21:32] http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=162084 [21:33] nvm [21:33] ignore that [21:33] http://samiux.wordpress.com/2007/10/27/make-usb-works-on-virtualbox-152-ubuntu-710/ [21:34] Sydero: you are talking to me right? [21:35] yes [21:36] ok thanks I will read what you wrote [21:37] just follow the last link [21:42] genii: if in the processtable i list all processes in a tree, that python crap is all listed under kdeinit... [21:43] did you istall something recently - like a desktop spide? [21:43] BooVeMan_work: me? no [21:44] Sorry for lag guys, work is needing me. [21:44] * BooVeMan_work goes back thinking [21:45] nado: It looks like some "copyover" script for amarok might be at least causing some problem, not sure if the one of python. For that I'd suggest maybe delete the ~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc file [21:46] Hi there!

[23:41] florian__: i have tested it and it works just fine [23:42] I read it on this site: http://noronha.id.au/?p=36 [23:42] Does it change how firefox looks? [23:42] how can I use the kubuntu live cd to kill vista on the harddisk? [23:42] or xchat [23:42] Works like a charme [23:43] you would delete the partition during setup tagg [23:43] florian, do you use firefox? [23:43] yes [23:43] does it look different now? [23:43] with the update [23:43] yes [23:43] ooooh [23:43] can you post a screenshot :D ? [23:43] I use tahoma 8pt without antialiasing :-) [23:43] is there an installation howto? [23:44] !install [23:44] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:44] Tagg during the install, it'll prompt you [23:44] thanks ubottu and Sydero, I'm going to try it [23:44] but that would be the ubuntu install cd [23:45] Sydero: here is the amasing result http://www.foo-gr.blogspot.com/ [23:45] omg omg omg [23:45] that's what I've been looking for [23:46] wtf [23:46] it's going to install all this gnome stuff too [23:47] Syndero: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/2695/firefoxab5.png [23:48] k brb [23:51] how should I set up the partitions during the installation? [23:51] /root /home and /swap? [23:52] Sydero: and thunderbird: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2038/thunderbirdba2.png [23:52] Is there a way to install ndiswrapper from a disc? I'm trying to install it on a pc that can't get internet at all [23:52] I installed it and nothing has changed... === grzes_ is now known as grzes^ [23:53] firefox still looks aweful [23:53] Sydero: you mean the design-thing? [23:53] Sydero: do you use kde4? [23:53] yes [23:53] well 4.1RC [23:54] Taggnostr: I usually do / /boot /home swap [23:54] /boot? [23:54] but I didn't change any settins [23:54] so I'm going to do that first [23:54] Then open the system-settings -> appearance (here it is "erscheinungsbild" :-) -> GTK-Styles and fonts -> "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" [23:55] yeah [23:55] just did that [23:55] brb [23:56] Taggnostr: yep - boot partition - there will go my linux images [23:57] I'm not sure if I need that [23:57] Taggnostr: and as benifit I can boot into gparted-live-cd and shift my partitions arround (well not the boot one...) [23:57] hello [23:57] Sydero: Since edgy I had to do a "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config" to really get the result shown in the snapshots i sent you before [23:58] and I don't think I'll need to shift the partitions around :P [23:59] Does the latest Kubuntu come with ndiswrapper on the install?
