| Taggnostr | how many space should I give to /? I have a 120GB hd | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Sydero | woah xchat looks quite different | 00:02 |
| Sydero | better | 00:02 |
| Sydero | thanks florian | 00:03 |
| florian | Sydero: your welcome! | 00:03 |
| Sydero | I'm surprised they never made this default | 00:04 |
| Sydero | for kde | 00:04 |
| genii | XJman: Not standard installed, but it's there | 00:04 |
| Taggnostr | I could do 100GB for /home, I don't know how many swap and the rest for /, do you think it is ok? | 00:04 |
| florian | sydero: me too | 00:04 |
| florian | Now my thunderbird looks exactly like in windows :-) | 00:04 |
| Sydero | home should be the rest of your harddrive | 00:04 |
| XJman | I found it, its under ndiswrapper-common. | 00:05 |
| Sydero | mine doesn't quite look like it is in windows | 00:05 |
| Sydero | some of the things like email name above inbox is very bolded | 00:05 |
| Sydero | maybe it's an issue of changing kde to ms fonts | 00:05 |
| florian | you have to use tahoma 8pt: http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/2038/thunderbirdba2.png | 00:05 |
| Sydero | in thunderbird | 00:06 |
| Sydero | or kde? | 00:06 |
| florian | kde | 00:06 |
| Sydero | What are you font settings in kde? | 00:06 |
| Sydero | all I have is dejavu | 00:06 |
| florian | Sydero: http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/633/fontsxj5.png | 00:07 |
| Sydero | hmmm I installed the ms font package and it didn't seem to include tahoma | 00:09 |
| florian | yes, i copied it from my windows machine :-) | 00:09 |
| theunixgeek | yay the kubuntu website changed! | 00:10 |
| theunixgeek | finally! | 00:10 |
| theunixgeek | it's awesome now | 00:10 |
| Sydero | What directory do you copy your fonts into? | 00:10 |
| florian | copy c:\windows\fonts\tahoma.ttf to the /tmp, then use the fontinstallation from the system-settings dialog | 00:11 |
| Sydero | k thanks | 00:11 |
| BooVeMan_work | Taggnostr: I usually do double RAM = swap | 00:12 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest86109 | ||
| Taggnostr | so /home = 100GB, swap = 4GB, / = 16GB | 00:13 |
| BooVeMan_work | Taggnostr: / depends how many stuff you are going to install - if you go for the regular Openoffice, FF, TB, Gimp and some other stuff you should be fine with 20GB | 00:14 |
| Sydero | If you install a 20 GB game you're screwed | 00:14 |
| Sydero | :D | 00:14 |
| Sydero | brb | 00:14 |
| BooVeMan_work | I use as of now 20GB but I'm a developer so load of fancy stuff hanging around | 00:14 |
| Taggnostr | I don't think I'll need lot of things | 00:15 |

| Sydero | oh well | 00:29 |
| Sydero | florian, what fonts are you using for thunderbird? | 00:30 |
| florian | What are your font-settings? | 00:30 |
| Sydero | the same as yours for kde | 00:30 |
| florian | I didn't change something in thunderbird | 00:30 |
| Sydero | in thunderbird I'm using serif, serif, sans-serif, monospace | 00:30 |
| Sydero | size 16 for proportional and 12 for monospace | 00:30 |
| florian | just changed the kde-settings, did the gtk-stuff and then it worked. Maybe you have to do the gtk-thing (in the system-settings) each time you changed something? | 00:31 |
| Sydero | well I did change the standard fonts for firefox | 00:31 |
| Sydero | under the syste settings thing | 00:32 |
| Sydero | in GTK fonts | 00:32 |
| Sydero | Did you say use another font | 00:32 |
| Sydero | or use my kde fonts | 00:32 |
| florian | use my KDE fonts in GTK applications | 00:32 |
| Sydero | ah | 00:32 |
| Sydero | there we go | 00:33 |
| Sydero | much much better | 00:33 |

| Taggnostr | \o/ | 00:35 |
| Sydero | noooooooooooooooooo | 00:36 |
| anom01y | hi I need help with a digital camera and digikam | 00:36 |
| anom01y | I have a kodak c330 and a kodak c433, the c330 works with digikam 100%, but the c433 gets detected, but for some reason I cannot see / download any pictures from it | 00:37 |
| anom01y | question : why would the c433 work in Sidux using Digikam, but not with Kubuntu ? | 00:39 |
| Sydero | different things loaded up in the kernel | 00:40 |
| Sydero | or included as modules | 00:40 |
| zabbadapp | can it be switched into mass storage mode? (if you are not using it like that already) | 00:40 |
| Taggnostr | lol, kernel panic | 00:44 |
| Taggnostr | and now? | 00:44 |
| BooVeMan_work | tell us what you did so far | 00:44 |
| Taggnostr | I activated the nvidia drivers | 00:45 |
| BooVeMan_work | in the new isntallatino ? | 00:45 |
| BooVeMan_work | had that finished and you activated them or is this while isntalling | 00:46 |
| Taggnostr | there was an icon in the tray that asked me to activate them if I wanted to use 2d/3d accelaration, I did ok, it asked to restart, restarted and now there is the kernel panic | 00:46 |
| BooVeMan_work | that SHOULD work | 00:46 |
| Taggnostr | I installed, did the upgrade and activated the drivers | 00:46 |
| BooVeMan_work | look in launchpad if you find something - I off to home by | 00:46 |
| Sydero | :D | 00:46 |
| Sydero | next time don't activate | 00:46 |
| Sydero | you need better graphics drivers | 00:46 |
| Taggnostr | how can I fix this now? | 00:47 |
| * BooVeMan_work leaves the building | 00:47 | |
| Sydero | upgrade drivers | 00:47 |
| Taggnostr | maybe now it works | 00:47 |
| Taggnostr | it seems soo | 00:48 |
| Sydero | get better graphics drivers | 00:48 |
| * Taggnostr likes autofixing software | 00:48 | |
| Sydero | open up adept | 00:48 |
| Taggnostr | how? | 00:48 |
| Sydero | and see if it has any updates | 00:48 |
| Taggnostr | sudo apt-gey update? | 00:48 |
| Taggnostr | get* | 00:49 |
| Sydero | no | 00:49 |
| Sydero | what kde are you using? | 00:49 |
| Sydero | it should be under system on the kmenu | 00:49 |
| Taggnostr | 3.5.9 | 00:49 |
| Taggnostr | I'm in the adept manager | 00:49 |
| Sydero | good | 00:49 |
| Sydero | fetch updates | 00:50 |
| Taggnostr | also there is that window that says that the nvidia drivers are in use | 00:50 |
| Sydero | then full uprade | 00:50 |
| BluesKaj | I guess my scripting skills leaves something to be desired , but I misinterpreted a bin/bash that' really a bin/sh. I'm looking for the cmnd that enables the the script to run in init.d | 00:50 |
| Sydero | upgrade* | 00:50 |
| Red_Wraith | Hey everyone. | 00:50 |
| Sydero | hi | 00:50 |
| Sydero | no roots allowed! | 00:50 |
| Taggnostr | full upgrade is disabled, but I did the auto-upgrade just before the restart | 00:51 |
| === root is now known as Guest7555 | ||
| Sydero | then restart again | 00:51 |
| Taggnostr | I already restarted | 00:51 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 00:52 |
| Taggnostr | installation -> upgrade, driver -> restart -> kernel panic -> restart -> everything seems to work | 00:52 |
| Sydero | hope for the best ;) | 00:52 |
| Taggnostr | as long as it works... | 00:53 |
| Sydero | over time adept will find a new driver | 00:53 |

| Sydero | Is there a way to speed graphics performance in linux? | 01:37 |
| Sydero | for an intel chipset | 01:37 |
| Sydero | since Windows seems to always perform better graphically | 01:38 |
| Taggnostr | how can I set konsole to have a transparent background that allows me to see what there is under (and not just the desktop background)? | 01:45 |
| bazhang | Taggnostr, better to install yakuake | 01:46 |
| bazhang | !info yakuake | 01:46 |
| ubottu | yakuake (source: yakuake): a Quake-style terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole technology. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.1-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 176 kB, installed size 1100 kB | 01:46 |
| Taggnostr | :O | 01:46 |
| intelikey | bazhang is yakuake qt dependant ?? | 01:48 |
| intelikey | never mind, it is. libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.6) | 01:50 |
| Sydero | Whenever I install something with adept then uninstall | 01:52 |
| Jucato | intelikey: it's kde dependent | 01:52 |
| Sydero | it doesn't uninstall the dependencies also | 01:52 |
| Sydero | is there a way to change this? | 01:52 |
| BluesKaj | sudo apt-get autoremove | 01:53 |
| Sydero | by itself? | 01:53 |
| genii | Or with packagename | 01:53 |
| BluesKaj | copy and paste into a terminal | 01:53 |
| BluesKaj | no pkgname | 01:54 |
| intelikey | Jucato yes and thus qt +++ i just installed it to look it over but there must be something i'm missing. it doesn't seem to start ? | 01:54 |
| Jucato | when you run it, press F12 to "roll it down" | 01:54 |
| intelikey | Jucato f2 just beeps at me so does alt+f2 and shift+f2 | 01:55 |
| intelikey | so maybe it can't function in blackbox | 01:56 |
| Jucato | F12 | 01:56 |
| Jucato | not F2 | 01:56 |
| * intelikey adjusts glasses | 01:56 | |

| Sydero | thanks for the tip BluesKaj | 01:57 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Is it a bash script? | 01:57 |
| BluesKaj | Sydero, np | 01:57 |
| Sydero | too bad that's not built into adept | 01:57 |
| BluesKaj | yeah it's #!/bin/sh | 01:57 |

| === root is now known as Guest95652 | ||
| intelikey | Jucato f12 just beeps at me so does alt+f12 and shift+f12 "but" i restarted it and the second run it does roll down an "ugly" black on white bottum up terminal... i suspose that's yakuake ? | 01:59 |
| BluesKaj | i really can't don't understand this prob, cuz the same script worked in gutsy | 01:59 |
| Jucato | intelikey: bottum up? | 01:59 |
| Jucato | intelikey: but yeah, that would be yakuake. (and you can change the color scheme of course) | 01:59 |
| intelikey | yeah the controls that are normally on top are on the bottom | 02:00 |
| genii | BluesKaj: If so, put as first line in it: #! /bin/sh or so, else make extension .sh then sudo chmod +x it. Then to tell system how to start/stop what runlevels etc something like: sudo update-rc.d /full/path/name start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . exactly like with the periods there and so | 02:00 |
| Jucato | intelikey: well there is no menu bar (File, Edit, etc...) and in KDE's Konsole, tabs and tab controls are at the bottom | 02:01 |
| intelikey | no i mean the minimize maximize kill buttons and such | 02:02 |
| intelikey | window controls | 02:02 |
| BluesKaj | geez genii , I think the .sh name change did it | 02:02 |
| leo | hello everyone, just wanna ask coz I install a gui to my server fluxbox how will i run it.. hehe! wat a stupid question? | 02:02 |
| Jucato | intelikey: there is no "minimize" and "maximize" | 02:02 |
| intelikey | yes there is | 02:02 |

| Nyle | Jucato, but i want try kde4 | 02:07 |
| intelikey | Jucato yeah it's there i just had to "hunt" for it | 02:07 |
| Nyle | when can kde4.1 comeout? | 02:08 |
| Nyle | but not RC 1 | 02:08 |
| Nyle | ? | 02:08 |

| Sydero | 4.1 will come out on the 28th | 02:08 |
| Nyle | what is today? | 02:08 |
| Sydero | approximately | 02:08 |
| Nyle | 1 week | 02:08 |
| Sydero | today is the 43rd | 02:08 |
| Nyle | Sydero, which calendar system do you use in your country? | 02:08 |
| Sydero | :D | 02:09 |
| Sydero | or you can install 4.1RC | 02:09 |
| Jucato | Nyle: he was being sarcastic | 02:09 |
| Sydero | up to you | 02:09 |
| Nyle | oh | 02:09 |
| Jucato | Nyle: there's a #kubuntu-kde4 channel btw for KDE 4 help | 02:09 |
| Nyle | i sm scared to try | 02:09 |
| Nyle | i wonder it will crash my desktop? | 02:09 |
| Sydero | k | 02:09 |
| Sydero | no but it's buggy | 02:09 |
| Jucato | Nyle: it won't (shouldn't) | 02:09 |
| Jucato | Sydero: which one? | 02:09 |
| Sydero | 4.1RC | 02:10 |
| Nyle | does firefox work ok? | 02:10 |
| Jucato | nah | 02:10 |
| Sydero | I had to delete the config files first | 02:10 |
| Sydero | to fix it | 02:10 |
| Sydero | I mean after | 02:10 |
| Jucato | Nyle: it shouldn't be affected | 02:10 |
| Jucato | so yes, it will work | 02:10 |
| Nyle | and what happens with ~/.kde? | 02:10 |
| Nyle | you make a .kde4? | 02:10 |
| Jucato | Nyle: it will remain ~/.kde | 02:10 |
| Sydero | no | 02:10 |
| Sydero | I deleted .kde and .kde4 | 02:10 |
| Nyle | my 3.5.9 settings? | 02:10 |
| Jucato | a .kde4 will automatically be created for KDE 4 | 02:10 |
| Nyle | i want to keep this | 02:10 |
| Sydero | well if you want to keep them don't touch it | 02:10 |
| Nyle | ok good | 02:10 |
| Jucato | like I said.. #kubuntu-kde4 | 02:11 |
| Nyle | is kde4.1 good enough to use now as a desktop? | 02:11 |
| Nyle | yet | 02:11 |
| Sydero | for the most part | 02:11 |
| Nyle | what is missing still? | 02:11 |
| Sydero | some things are missin | 02:11 |
| Sydero | g | 02:11 |
| Sydero | proper power management | 02:11 |
| Nyle | ok here is what I like | 02:11 |
| Nyle | i will join kde4 | 02:11 |
| BluesKaj | yup genii , that worked...odd that I had renamed it earlier with .sh but it didn't convert . Perhaps deleting recopying it back into init.d made the diff. | 02:15 |
| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||

| BluesKaj | the wonders of scripts ;) | 02:16 |
| BluesKaj | that script allows me to transfer movies thru ffmpeg to the TiVo with conversion that TiVo sees as playable ...quite amazing really | 02:18 |
| BluesKaj | wifey asks me to save a movie or tv show and if the hdd in the Tivo begin to get a bit full , I can also transfer the files and store them on this box ...sort of a server i guess | 02:20 |
| Sydero | just get a bigger harddrive :P | 02:21 |
| Sydero | Is the quality the same? | 02:22 |
| Sydero | if it wern't converted? | 02:22 |
| Sydero | weren't | 02:22 |
| Sydero | wasn't* | 02:22 |
| BluesKaj | for the Tivo yeah , but i havent hacked the software enuff to know how to ghost it | 02:23 |
| BluesKaj | Sydero, the quality reamins the same ...ffmpeg is a great app | 02:23 |
| Sydero | So it doesn't convert or compress? | 02:24 |
| BluesKaj | I just store the tivo stuff as is | 02:24 |
| Sydero | I don't see why you need ffmpeg then | 02:24 |
| Sydero | :S | 02:24 |
| BluesKaj | not for the tivo stored video , ffmpeg is for avi (divx, xvid etc) | 02:25 |
| Sydero | ah | 02:25 |
| BluesKaj | I DL a lot of BBC and CBC TV shows ..all legal , in the public domain | 02:26 |
| Sydero | but are they legal to copy ;) | 02:26 |
| Sydero | ? | 02:26 |
| Sydero | or only view when broadcasted :P | 02:27 |
| BluesKaj | well, ppl do it here in Canada legally ,,still | 02:27 |

| BluesKaj | saving a tv show for later viewing is still legal here | 02:28 |
| Sydero | if recording a tv show is legal, why isn't it legal to download one off the net? | 02:30 |
| Sydero | that you might have access to on tv | 02:30 |
| Sydero | it's kind of stupid | 02:30 |
| BluesKaj | yeah genii have you seen this ?...http://www.digital-copyright.ca/billc60/ | 02:30 |
| genii | Because the distribution method. TV broadcasters pay to broadcast a show, like radio stations pay royalties etc | 02:31 |
| Jucato | let's keep legal discussions out | 02:31 |
| genii | Jucato: OK | 02:31 |
| Sydero | I guess you're free to record and download and all provided you don't distribute | 02:31 |
| BluesKaj | does rogers cable bother you about pvrs...last i heard they were pushing them :) | 02:32 |
| genii | BluesKaj: Yes, at least in my case. But I want to repect Jucato and discuss this in -offtopic if possible | 02:33 |
| BluesKaj | ok, got carried away :) | 02:34 |
| Sydero | Is there a way to install firefox nightlies through adept? | 02:51 |
| l1f7s0s9 | wutsup guys | 02:52 |
| Jucato | Sydero: only if they have a repository for it | 02:52 |
| Sydero | :/ | 02:53 |
| Sydero | well maybe there's a hidden one I don't know about | 02:53 |
| Jucato | you'll have to ask them (Firefox people) | 02:54 |
| Jucato | maybe #firefox | 02:54 |
| l1f7s0s9 | hi guys can i help somebody | 02:54 |
| Sydero | where's firefox 3.0.1 | 02:55 |
| Sydero | in adept | 02:55 |
| compilerwriter | Jucato have you ever played with gentoo | 02:55 |
| Jucato | Sydero: "firefox" package if you're on Hardy | 02:56 |
| Jucato | compilerwriter: yes | 02:56 |
| Sydero | it's not 3.0.1 | 02:56 |
| Jucato | !info firefox | 02:56 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox-3.0): meta package for the popular mozilla web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (hardy), package size 64 kB, installed size 120 kB | 02:56 |
| Jucato | it's probably not updated yet | 02:56 |
| l1f7s0s9 | sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:56 |
| l1f7s0s9 | xD | 02:56 |
| Sydero | I already have firefox | 02:57 |
| Sydero | so wouldn't it be upgrade instead or something | 02:57 |
| Jucato | Sydero: it will upgrade only if an upgrade is available in the repositories. otherwise it won't | 02:57 |
| Jucato | (upgrading firefox doesn't work exactly the same way in Linux as in Windows, for security and stability reasons) | 02:58 |
| Sydero | yeah | 02:58 |
| Sydero | I don't like it | 02:58 |
| Sydero | even with security | 02:58 |
| Jucato | then don't | 02:58 |
| Sydero | it should allow firefox nightly automatic updates | 02:59 |
| * Jucato shrugs | 02:59 | |
| Jucato | "should"? | 02:59 |
| Jucato | if *you* want nightly updates then *you* will have to set it up to do that | 02:59 |
| Sydero | in firefox, the check for updates is greyed out... | 02:59 |
| Sydero | :/ | 03:00 |
| genii | Since Ubuntu's normal policy is not to provide beta or unstable software in the usual repositories there will likely never be some system that allows nightlies/trunks | 03:00 |
| * Jucato sighs... | 03:00 | |
| Sydero | firefox is always stable ;) | 03:00 |
| Sydero | even as alphas :P | 03:00 |
| Jucato | right... | 03:00 |
| genii | Sydero: There was great discussion about including the Beta 5 | 03:00 |
| Sydero | I would have thought there'd be a hidden beta repository | 03:01 |
| Sydero | that's not enabled by default | 03:01 |
| Jucato | Sydero: why don't you just ask the firefox people if they have a repository for nightly builds or if they have a way to get nightly builds? | 03:01 |
| Jucato | why would *Ubuntu* have a "hidden beta repository" for *Firefox*? | 03:01 |
| Sydero | yeah, I'll just ask my local firefox community.... | 03:01 |
| genii | Sydero: Theres hardy-proposed | 03:01 |
| Sydero | not just for firefox | 03:02 |
| genii | Sydero: But use at your own risk | 03:02 |
| Jucato | there are -backports and -proposed repositories | 03:02 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | genii> Since Ubuntu's normal policy is not to provide beta or unstable software in the usual repositories there will likely never be some system that allows nightlies/trunks <- PPAs | 03:11 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | so yeah, not officially sanctioned, but workable | 03:12 |

| Kraplax | hi there, recently i was here and asked about broken keyboard layout switching | 03:21 |
| Kraplax | so, if anyone experience this problem - i recommend you to install kkbswitcher package and be happy =) | 03:22 |
| genii | Kraplax: Glad that you shared your solution in the channel for others :) | 03:22 |
| Kraplax | yeah, that would help, i suppose. Becuase it was really PITA for me. | 03:23 |
| genii | Kraplax: This channel is logged so occasionally people search those for solutions not found on the forums | 03:24 |
| Kraplax | The only thing to remember - first configure your xorg,conf, then disable keyboard layouts in SystemSettings and set up layouts in kkbswitcher =) | 03:24 |

| anom01y | genii: if I have compiled and installed (manually) the latest gphoto2, and then I apt-get install digikam, will it overwrite my gphoto2 2.4.2 and replace it with 2.4.0 ? because the latest gphoto2 in apt is 2.4.0 only | 04:07 |

| dthacker | i see..... | 04:27 |
| dynoll3 | okay (im french so i have a bit of difficulty with english) what is dongle? | 04:27 |
| dthacker | do you have a usb stick that plugs into the usb port and receives the signal from the mouse? | 04:28 |
| dynoll3 | yes | 04:28 |
| dthacker | Does it have a switch to change channels? | 04:28 |
| dynoll3 | no | 04:28 |
| dthacker | ok, so changing channels is out. Have you tried different USB ports, or rebooting with the USB stick plugged in? | 04:29 |
| dynoll3 | ok maybe its the usb port that make sense | 04:30 |
| dynoll3 | but | 04:30 |
| dynoll3 | i think its because of the touchpad (cause when i touch it, the mouse become crazy and go + click everywhere) | 04:30 |
| dthacker | maybe there is a conflict. If there is I don't know how to resolve that. | 04:31 |
| dynoll3 | okay | 04:31 |
| dynoll3 | do u know how to desactive the touchpad ( but only on linux jot on windows (because i ahve both)) | 04:31 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 06:07 |

| FisherP | u mean drop out of X altogether? | 08:20 |
| FisherP | and retry | 08:20 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP you do know how to get to another console and back don't you ? alt+ctrl+f1 and alt+f7 | 08:21 |
| FisherP | yes | 08:21 |
| Agent_bob | yeah | 08:21 |
| FisherP | i understand | 08:21 |
| Taggnostr | I installed kubuntu yesterday, at the first start the "hardware drivers" icon (the one with a green board) appeared in the tray, I clicked on it and there was written NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest card) and "not in use", I checked the "enabled" checkbox, it installed something and asked me to restart, and there was the kernel panic | 08:22 |
| FisherP | Agent_bob: yes, now what | 08:22 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP now test the gui login see if it fixed you | 08:22 |
| FisherP | kk, I'll have to exit out... if I'm not back Thank you | 08:23 |
| Taggnostr | I restarted again and everyhing worked, this morning I started the pc again and had another kernel panic, I restarted again and it worked, so I disabled it | 08:23 |
| Agent_bob | welcome | 08:23 |
| Agent_bob | fried kernel mc_panics for lounch | 08:24 |
| FisherP | Agent_bob: didn't work... off for dinner though | 08:27 |
| Agent_bob | actually "didn't work" is inaccurate, the fact that the problem persists does not mean that that command didn't work you have by that command made sure that everything in your home and all it's subdirs is owned by you. thus it worked just wasn't the issue | 08:30 |
| Taggnostr | bazhang, any idea? | 08:31 |
| bazhang | Taggnostr, without the driver compiz is mia | 08:32 |
| Taggnostr | is there a way to avoid the kernel panic so I can use them? | 08:32 |
| bazhang | Taggnostr, what card, what driver and how installed (hardy or gutsy) | 08:33 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP you may have stale server symbolic links or sockets in there. probably something like ~/.DCOPserver* or ~/.kde/cache* ~/.kde/socket* those can be removed and retest... | 08:33 |
| Taggnostr | where I can see those things? | 08:34 |
| bazhang | Taggnostr, lspci in konsole and /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the same place | 08:35 |
| Agent_bob | Taggnostr 1. lsb_release -a 2. lspci 3. lshw 4. less /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:35 |
| Agent_bob | bazhang not trying to confuse. just expanding the options for information gathering. | 08:36 |

| bazhang | Agent_bob, thanks :) | 08:36 |
| Taggnostr | ubuntu hardy 8.04.1 | 08:37 |
| Agent_bob | oh. and it's generally a good idea to filter "lshw" through less or use a -C class switch on it. | 08:38 |
| Agent_bob | lshw -C display # for example in this case. | 08:39 |
| Taggnostr | it said more or less the same things of lspci | 08:39 |
| Agent_bob | -multimedia for sound cards -network ... | 08:40 |
| Agent_bob | Taggnostr yeah i generally gives a little more human readable information on the same hardware. | 08:40 |

| Agent_bob | FisherP i'm all ears | 08:41 |
| FisherP | let me reboot my machine to see what's gong on | 08:41 |
| FisherP | a day or so ago i decided to remove old linux kernals | 08:42 |
| FisherP | from old updates | 08:42 |
| FisherP | I may have removed one too many :S | 08:42 |
| Taggnostr | tha about xorg.conf? | 08:42 |
| FisherP | and I may be running on a safemode | 08:42 |
| * Agent_bob sujests ls /boot and make sure you have a kernel | 08:42 | |
| FisherP | kk | 08:42 |
| FisherP | vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-386 | 08:43 |
| Taggnostr | I can't see nothing interested there | 08:43 |
| Agent_bob | cool | 08:43 |
| Taggnostr | interesting* | 08:43 |
| FisherP | but I can't start any servers.. cups is down, apache is down, everything | 08:43 |
| FisherP | and removing old kernals is all i did | 08:43 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP sudo update-grub | 08:44 |
| Agent_bob | then have a look in the /boot/grub/menu.lst make sure there are uncommented lines with a kernel vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-386 listed... and go for your "reboot" you may be running a kernel you removed | 08:45 |
| Agent_bob | that might explain why many services are down for the count | 08:45 |
| FisherP | cat: write error: No space left on device | 08:46 |
| Agent_bob | mounted readonly ? | 08:46 |
| Agent_bob | mount | 08:46 |
| FisherP | ran out of space on root... something is wrong | 08:46 |

| Agent_bob | or at least it's source | 08:49 |

| FisherP | u see i did that for an NVIDIA driver once | 08:49 |

| * Agent_bob usualy speaks agains reboot, but... | 08:59 | |
| Agent_bob | FisherP you might try it and see if it fscks again. | 09:00 |
| Agent_bob | out of curiosity, what fs is that ? ext3 ? | 09:00 |
| FisherP | yes | 09:00 |
| FisherP | ext3 | 09:00 |
| FisherP | how do i do that from grub? | 09:01 |
| Agent_bob | i had one disk scsi that didn't like ext3 i could use ext2 on it but ext3 would always end up hosed... never did find out exactly why... | 09:01 |
| FisherP | because it says that if i do it on a mounted system it could cause damage | 09:02 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP you can use tune2fs to set the mount count to 30 and it will do it for you | 09:02 |
| FisherP | will it retart the count? | 09:02 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP yes don't fsck a mounted fs. not mounted rw at any rate | 09:02 |
| Agent_bob | yes | 09:02 |
| FisherP | kk, here goes | 09:04 |
| FisherP | cya later | 09:04 |
| Agent_bob | FisherP command is: sudo tune2fs -C 30 /dev/<device> # where your device is something like sda5 or something and note that is capital C | 09:04 |
| FisherP | yep, worked that out thanks | 09:04 |
| Agent_bob | ok np | 09:04 |
| FisherP | sudo tune2fs -c 30 -i d /dev/sda7 | 09:04 |

| strog_ | how can i change from the Dolphin borwser to the konqueror browser when i want to browse my files? | 09:14 |
| Agent_bob | !dolphin | 09:15 |
| ubottu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 09:15 |

| incorrect | when you ssh, gnome catches your ssh session, pops up a dialog box and you can authenticate | 10:11 |
| Agent_bob | incorrect best i can gather ssh-agent is not de specific | 10:13 |
| incorrect | Agent_bob: i meant ssh-add | 10:14 |
| incorrect | its not big deal, i just liked the way gnome was catching the ssh and setting up ssh-add for my session for me | 10:14 |
| Agent_bob | well ssh-agent is a daemon that the gui uses.... i know little about it. i don't generally use a gui anyway | 10:16 |
| Agent_bob | maybe someone else knows ? | 10:16 |

| Agent_bob | <incorrect> is there a kde version of the ssh-agent auth manager? | 10:17 |
| Agent_bob | s joined #kubuntu | 10:17 |
| Agent_bob | <incorrect> when you ssh, gnome catches your ssh session, pops up a dialog box and | 10:17 |
| incorrect | Agent_bob: and i corrected myself | 10:17 |
| incorrect | phew | 10:18 |
| Agent_bob | incorrect that was for philpod | 10:18 |
| Agent_bob | r | 10:18 |
| incorrect | doh, i am a bit slow | 10:18 |
| PhilRod | hm, I wonder how it does that | 10:18 |
| incorrect | it was not really a problem, i just wondered if that feature was there, | 10:19 |
| PhilRod | I can think of a way of doing it in bash - you alias 'ssh' to a function that checks the output of "ssh-add -l". If the keys aren't there, it runs, er, whatever the gui thing for ssh-add is | 10:19 |
| * Agent_bob uses ssh a lot, but always in the console. never mess with a gui hardly. was just checking out yakuake is the only reason i had one running now. | 10:21 | |
| PhilRod | function checkssh { if ssh-add -l | grep 'The agent has no identities' > /dev/null; then qt-ssh-askpass (or whatever it's called); fi ssh $@ } | 10:22 |
| PhilRod | ooh, missed a semicolon | 10:22 |
| PhilRod | function checkssh { if ssh-add -l | grep 'The agent has no identities' > /dev/null; then qt-ssh-askpass (or whatever it's called); fi; ssh $@ } | 10:22 |
| PhilRod | then alias ssh=checkssh | 10:22 |
| Agent_bob | PhilRod -q on the grep saves /dev/null the expense | 10:24 |
| PhilRod | you probably want to add a check that DISPLAY is set too | 10:24 |

| ActionParsnip | -h== halt | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | like shutdown | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | oh you just want logout | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 11:06 |
| PhilRod | anethum_a: sounds like something isn't getting killed properly. Do you get the same problem if you close everything you can manually, then click on logout? | 11:06 |
| PhilRod | the other thing you could try is to logout, wait till it goes black, then log in on tty1 and look in ps to see what's still running from your kde session | 11:07 |
| anethum_a | PhilRod: yeah, i have tried closing out of running programs and stuff, but not *everything* i could have killed myself tho | 11:08 |
| SilentDis | anethum_a: just a thought... do you have compiz setup? | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | i hate compiz | 11:09 |
| anethum_a | i dont have compiz enabled, but it might still be installed | 11:09 |
| anethum_a | PhilRod: so i would log in on tty1 and type ps to see what is running? | 11:09 |
| PhilRod | anethum_a: yes. I'd use 'ps uxww' since that's the magical incantation that usually shows me what I want | 11:10 |
| PhilRod | (ps is evil evil horrible horrible - NEVER read the man page, if you wish to escape with your life) | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | i use ps -ef | 11:10 |
| anethum_a | PhilRod: what should i be looking for? anything in particular? or just see if anything is running? | 11:10 |
| SilentDis | anethum_a: hrm... are you SURE it's not running somewhere on the box? I use fusion-icon package to switch between the two myself, i had problems with shutdown for a while when i had compiz running... can't remember exactly what i changed to resolve it though, as it was back just after they remerged beryl & compiz | 11:11 |
| SilentDis | !info fusion-icon | anethum_a | 11:11 |

| PhilRod | anethum_a: can't think of anything in particular. You could pastebin teh output and we could take a look if you like | 11:11 |
| anethum_a | im pretty sure (like 90+ %) compiz is not running anywhere | 11:13 |
| anethum_a | how do i pastebin the output? | 11:13 |
| SilentDis | anethum_a: ok, that's just the only similar issue i've personally ever had to what you're describing. | 11:13 |
| anethum_a | oh, ok, yeah i would have considered it as a culprit if had been using it lately but i havent | 11:14 |
| PhilRod | anethum_a: oh yeah, a little trickier on the console. "ps your-favourite-ps-flags > somefile" then you can open and paste somefile from an X session | 11:16 |
| PhilRod | s/paste/pastebin/ of course | 11:16 |
| anethum_a | ok i'll give it a shot real quick. brb | 11:17 |

| PhilRod | cheers ubottu | 11:28 |
| Taggnostr | where can I set the compiz effect? from "desktop effects" I can only chose between no/standard/extra/custom effects and nothing else | 11:29 |
| PhilRod | anethum_a: scroll down to near teh bottom | 11:29 |
| PhilRod | Taggnostr: where are you looking? systemsettings in kde 4? | 11:29 |
| Taggnostr | I found that window in kmenu->system-> desktop effects, there is only a button to install compiz and for radio box to select the effects, I'm on kde 3.5 | 11:30 |
| anethum_a | PhilRod: so keytouch is the culprit? i think i will delete it as i dont even use it anymore | 11:30 |
| PhilRod | anethum_a: appears to be. What does it do? | 11:30 |
| anethum_a | lets you use certain multimedia keys on different keyboards or something to that nature | 11:31 |
| anethum_a | didn't work for me, i have two keys on my laptop that actually use to work but now dont | 11:32 |
| Taggnostr | from the system setting I can't find a place where to set the effects | 11:33 |
| PhilRod | yeah, I have nearly everything working on my laptop keyboard, but it's quite fragile - I can't get caps lock to act as control without breaking something else | 11:33 |
| anethum_a | but thats another problem, lol, i'll see if this has solved my logout problem | 11:33 |
| PhilRod | Taggnostr: ah, on 3.5 I'm not sure (since that means you have to install compiz and set it up) | 11:34 |
| PhilRod | !compiz | 11:34 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion | 11:34 |
| Taggnostr | let's try there | 11:35 |
| anethum_a | yeah, i've had pretty good luck with keyboards and stuff, but, apparently somebody decided these two buttons should cease functioning for some reason...ehh brb | 11:35 |
| anethum_a | am going to try to log out | 11:35 |
| PhilRod | good luck :-) | 11:35 |
| Taggnostr | thanks | 11:35 |
| PhilRod | what news? | 11:37 |
| anethum_a | hmm...keytouch seems to not want to go away without a fight...i just did another ps -ef in konsole and a 'keytouchd' is running | 11:38 |
| anethum_a | lemme make sure this program is gone, i'll brb | 11:38 |
| PhilRod | but did you manage to logout without ctrl+alt+bksp? | 11:38 |
| anethum_a | nope...keytouch still had its way with the logout process... | 11:39 |
| PhilRod | ah | 11:39 |
| PhilRod | better make sure it's gone completely then | 11:39 |
| anethum_a | yeah, im about to, i'll let you know how it turns out...be back in a min... | 11:39 |

| orbital_fox | hello channel | 11:40 |
| orbital_fox | a tiny bit of help | 11:40 |
| orbital_fox | i switch from ubuntu to kubuntu, basically installed kde from gnome | 11:41 |
| orbital_fox | i got kde, i can login etc with it, but i have no sound, and i only get the wireless to work using the gnome network manager | 11:41 |
| orbital_fox | it seems im lacking something like a hardware deamon or something, any ideas? | 11:42 |
| PhilRod | orbital_fox: for the sound, what apps have you tried? is artsd running? | 11:42 |
| orbital_fox | sec let me check | 11:42 |
| orbital_fox | ive not used kde for years, so i really dont remember whats what | 11:42 |
| orbital_fox | i got kde4 now btw | 11:42 |
| PhilRod | oh, then artsd shouldn't be running :-) | 11:42 |
| * PhilRod is stuck in the kde 3 mindset | 11:42 | |
| orbital_fox | yeah its not on the list | 11:43 |
| orbital_fox | the network manager also doesnt see any of my devices, eth, wireless etc | 11:45 |
| anethum_a | PhilRod: that seems to have done the trick, i deleted its config stuff and killed those weird keytouchd processes and i just logged out and back in successfully...twice.. | 11:45 |
| orbital_fox | thats why im guessing im missing some hardware daemon or wsomething | 11:45 |
| anethum_a | PhilRod: thanks a bunch, i figured i was going to be stuck with that pesky problem forever.... | 11:46 |
| PhilRod | no problem. glad it's sorted :-) | 11:46 |
| PhilRod | orbital_fox: ok, let's stick with sound for now - I'm not so hot on wireless (can barely get my own sorted out) | 11:47 |
| orbital_fox | okies | 11:47 |
| PhilRod | orbital_fox: which apps don't play sound? what happens when you try? do they give an error, or appear to be playing but are silent? | 11:47 |
| orbital_fox | we can look into yours after ;) | 11:47 |
| orbital_fox | everything plays on silent | 11:48 |
| PhilRod | which apps in particular? | 11:49 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as uNDEAD_m0NKEY | ||
| orbital_fox | flash from firefox, dragonplayer | 11:49 |
| orbital_fox | the whole desktop pretty much is silent | 11:49 |
| orbital_fox | i dont seem to have a widget on the bar to control the overall volume either | 11:49 |
| PhilRod | what about alsamixer in a konsole? | 11:50 |
| * PhilRod wonders if this is a weird interaction with pulseaudio | 11:51 | |
| orbital_fox | sec let me run it | 11:51 |
| orbital_fox | alsamixer is running | 11:51 |
| orbital_fox | shows master threshold at half | 11:52 |
| orbital_fox | and i think it has the soundcard right there too | 11:54 |
| PhilRod | hrm | 11:55 |
| PhilRod | I'm a bit short of ideas | 11:55 |
| orbital_fox | me too :P | 11:55 |
| PhilRod | I guess you could try logging out of kde and playing something on the console - see if that works | 11:55 |
| orbital_fox | it works in gnome | 11:55 |
| orbital_fox | so its not a general issue, just in kde | 11:56 |
| orbital_fox | gnome sees my network cards too | 11:56 |
| PhilRod | did you turn up everything you could see in alsamixer? | 11:57 |
| orbital_fox | well the outputs are all on pretty much | 11:57 |
| orbital_fox | im getting a pretty good feeling that i missing some hardware stuff for kde | 11:58 |
| PhilRod | I have to go to work - sorry I couldn't help | 11:58 |
| orbital_fox | cause generally my hardware support now is null | 11:58 |
| PhilRod | hopefully there's someone else around | 11:58 |
| orbital_fox | no worries mate, thanks alot | 11:58 |
| orbital_fox | ill hop on to #kde as well | 11:58 |

| jay__ | I am new to ubuntu and think it is awesome so far, free software, free source, it works great dual boot with my windows system and am thinking of coverting to linux, but have a question.. | 12:54 |
| pag | !ask | jay__ | 12:55 |
| ubottu | jay__: 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. :-) | 12:55 |
| jay__ | When I originally installed windows and ubuntu, i installed windows first then ubuntu used the rest of the partition, my drive is 160GB and 100 of it is being used by ubuntu and windows but i have another 60GB of space that i dont know where it went, or how to format it to linux, how do i partition the other 60GB in ubuntu? | 12:56 |
| pag | jay__, install qtparted | 12:56 |
| jay__ | so type "apt-get install qtparted" in the terminal ? sorry i am a noob | 12:57 |
| pag | jay__, sudo apt-get ... (or you can also use Adept manager) | 12:57 |
| jay__ | so i have to use the sudo command before everything in the terminal? i tried other linux and did not need the sudo, out of curiosity why is that? | 12:58 |
| pag | jay__, you have to use sudo infront of those commands that need to do something outside your home directory | 12:59 |
| Pici | !sudo | jay__ this should explain some things | 13:00 |
| ubottu | jay__ this should explain some things: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 13:00 |
| jay__ | I see so sudo = super user does type thing, i like that because it asks me for a PW before anything is installed | 13:01 |
| jay__ | everything installs so easy also, easier then windows, finding and downloading software is very easy lol | 13:02 |
| jay__ | no torrents, no adware, no having to google where to find the software just apt-get it | 13:02 |
| jay__ | ok i must have spoke to early lol - i used sudo apt-get install qtparted and when trying to run it from the ubuntu gui it says error: failed to execute child process qtparted root , no such file or directory | 13:05 |
| jay__ | and thanks for your help so far | 13:06 |
| jay__ | :) | 13:06 |
| pag | jay__, are you using Gnome or KDE? | 13:06 |
| jay__ | how do i check? | 13:07 |
| spiongraz | when you start ubuntu | 13:07 |
| jay__ | as far i a know it is just the Ubuntu gui | 13:07 |
| spiongraz | you have a splashscreen that says ubuntu or kubuntu | 13:07 |
| jay__ | default | 13:07 |
| jay__ | ubuntu | 13:07 |
| spiongraz | install gparted then | 13:07 |
| jay__ | will try right now thanks | 13:08 |
| jay__ | says gparted is allready the newest version, but dont see it in my system tools when i click applications | 13:09 |
| Pici | Try pressing alt+f2 and then typing gksudo gparted | 13:10 |
| pag | jay__, (btw. it should be found somewhere under system menu by the name 'disc managment' or similiar) | 13:10 |
| Pici | Also, the Ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu , this channel is mainly for KDE and Kubuntu issues. | 13:11 |
| jay__ | how do i get rid of the non working qtparted program? | 13:11 |
| pag | jay__, sudo apt-get remove --purge qtparted | 13:12 |
| jay__ | oh i see, it brought me here automatically with my new irc client (koversation) | 13:12 |

| Nyad | thanks, that's a good idea. but how come rename didn't work? I'm just curious | 13:45 |
| Jucato | Nyad: if you have spaces in file or folder names, you need to enclose the whole name in " " | 13:45 |
| alt_ctrl | i started to upgrade my laptop to hardy but it stopped in themiddle or somewehre there | 13:45 |
| Jucato | Nyad: because Linux treats: My Documents as 2 things: "My" and "Documents" | 13:45 |
| pag | Nyad, rename is not a command | 13:45 |
| alt_ctrl | no i have a hardy to log in but no internet network and who knows what else | 13:46 |
| Jucato | oh right... | 13:46 |
| Jucato | haha missed that one :) | 13:46 |
| Pici | rename is a command. | 13:46 |
| alt_ctrl | so now i am on this live cd clueless what to do | 13:46 |

| alt_ctrl | any idea sugestions? | 13:46 |
| esther | hola | 13:47 |
| alt_ctrl | how to finish my upgrade? | 13:47 |
| alt_ctrl | anyone? i was doing the upgrade thru the adept manager | 13:48 |
| alt_ctrl | now this live cd wants to install it as a seperate op system instead to finish the upgrade i started... | 13:49 |
| pag | alt_ctrl, did I get you right – you have no working internet on that computer? | 13:49 |
| alt_ctrl | i am on that computer but from a live cd i burnt | 13:50 |
| Nyad | alt_ctrl, when I download updates and they crash I usually just restart the upgrade and it picks up where it left off, so maybe it will do the same for you, but I'm not really sure | 13:50 |
| alt_ctrl | but wheni log on cause i can log in no netweork | 13:50 |
| alt_ctrl | yes but no internet... so its hard to go on and do it | 13:50 |
| alt_ctrl | i was thinking this cd will haveeverything it needs but i dont seem to be able to continue.. | 13:51 |
| pag | alt_ctrl, well I can say, how I would do it, but I won't be able to guide you through it--- Personally I'd chroot into existing installation and updtate with command-line tools | 13:51 |
| alt_ctrl | from here the live cd? | 13:52 |
| mauricio_ | please, where can i find best information to setup my AUDIGY SE sound card in KDE4 with surround40? | 13:53 |
| pag | alt_ctrl, yup. in short: you'll have to mount the root partition of your installation -> chroot to it (sudo chroot /mount/point) -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:53 |
| bazhang | #kubuntu-kde4 mauricio_ | 13:54 |
| alt_ctrl | would it work? what do ineed to do what commands? i canstart the terminal then what? i can do and tell you what i get back.. | 13:55 |
| pag | alt_ctrl, I will have to go in a moment, but until then I'll try to guide you as well as I can :) | 13:55 |
| alt_ctrl | right now i only got ubuntu@ubuntu at the terminal | 13:55 |
| mauricio_ | bazhang: nobody help me there and neigther #ubuntustudio or ##linuxaudio or #audio4linux,de or #pulseaudio | 13:55 |
| alt_ctrl | well if we can get it started i guess it owuld be ok | 13:56 |
| mauricio_ | very dificult to solve my problem | 13:56 |
| alt_ctrl | at least as long as it have intenet connection | 13:56 |
| pag | alt_ctrl, which device is your root partition (if you don't know, then pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l) | 13:56 |

| alt_ctrl | how long should this one take? | 14:09 |
| Pici | !fsck | 14:09 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 14:09 |
| histo | Assurbanipal: ^^^^^^^ | 14:10 |

| alt_ctrl | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29303/ | 14:32 |
| Taggnostr | can I also use it to upload files? | 14:32 |
| alt_ctrl | this is the full list after the dist upagrade command | 14:32 |
| alt_ctrl | what does it tell you? | 14:33 |
| Githzerai | Taggnostr: as any ftp client, even easier as it feels like using regular folders on HD ;) | 14:33 |
| alt_ctrl | lots of dependency prolems and dpkg errors | 14:33 |
| Taggnostr | great | 14:33 |
| alt_ctrl | what to do now? | 14:35 |
| BooVeMan_work | ok try to re-run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:38 |
| rav | hello. I just noticed there's a Public folder in my home directory. I installed smb4k, does it have anything to do with that? | 14:40 |
| BooVeMan_work | if you don't want that comment the homes section in smb-conf | 14:41 |
| rav | but I don't see any shares of my computer from other computers on the network | 14:43 |
| BooVeMan_work | so it seems to be commented... | 14:44 |
| rav | also, there's an empty Templates directory. is that also from smb4k? | 14:45 |
| alt_ctrl | well i did it twice same thing again | 14:45 |
| Assurbanipal | is there a utility with a graphic interface to check disk for errors in kubuntu??? | 14:46 |
| === aidan is now known as people4964 | ||
| genii | alt_ctrl: Perhaps: sudo dpkg -i --force-install /var/cache/apt/archives/console-setup_1.21ubuntu8_all.deb | 14:49 |
| BooVeMan_work | Assurbanipal: don't think so | 14:49 |
| genii | Since it seems to be the problemmatic one causing the chain reaction | 14:50 |
| Assurbanipal | unfortunately i am not used to be using the konsole | 14:50 |
| alt_ctrl | well after the command i get this | 14:50 |
| alt_ctrl | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29309/ | 14:51 |
| alt_ctrl | saying that nothing will be done if u understan it correctly | 14:51 |
| BooVeMan_work | no say Y and it will proceed | 14:52 |
| alt_ctrl | after i say yes it takes like 5 seconds to give me that i jsut pasted 29303 | 14:52 |
| alt_ctrl | so genii jsut type all that line with archives init? | 14:53 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Your previous paste at http://paste.ubuntu.com/29303/ indicates in lines 13 through 19 that console-setup not being installed is causing a chain reaction of other apps not being able to get installed. So the command i provided forces it to install if it's possible to do so. | 14:54 |
| alt_ctrl | ok i try it | 14:54 |
| alt_ctrl | it di dnot work | 14:55 |

| genii | eg | 15:03 |
| alt_ctrl | ok | 15:04 |
| alt_ctrl | again errors with console setup | 15:04 |

| alt_ctrl | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29311/ | 15:05 |

| alt_ctrl | no i just used the adept manager | 15:06 |
| alt_ctrl | and it stopped | 15:06 |
| alt_ctrl | but when i log in i have not netwrok for example and who knows what else | 15:07 |
| alt_ctrl | so now i am on this live cd and can have intenret but not the halfway done hardy aupgrade | 15:07 |

| SilentDis | hrm... is there a .torrent out there for a DVD release of kubuntu 8.04.1? | 15:09 |
| alt_ctrl | i am screwed i made this live cd and trying to get my upgrade finished | 15:09 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Ah. Yes, there can be some nasty errors when it has locales other than US english for some reason | 15:10 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: You on livecd of same box right now? | 15:10 |
| alt_ctrl | yes | 15:10 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Good. Do you know of chroot? | 15:10 |

| cr0w_ | hi | 15:11 |
| cr0w_ | ^^ | 15:11 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: The idea here would be to copy some network settings from working livecd, then chroot to the old root partition and see if we can get upgrade to finish | 15:11 |
| alt_ctrl | alt_ctrl, yup. in short: you'll have to mount the root partition of your installation -> chroot to it (sudo chroot /mount/point) -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:12 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: I'll be here for another 6-6.5 hours so return later then | 15:12 |

| Thomas | Hi | 18:20 |
| Thomas | Is anyone hear | 18:20 |
| Thomas | Am I the only one? | 18:20 |
| Tm_T | thomas__: no, not really | 18:21 |
| Thomas | Thanks | 18:21 |
| Thomas | is there many people in this chatroom | 18:21 |
| thomas__ | yes | 18:21 |
| Tm_T | Thomas: only some 327 or so | 18:21 |
| Tm_T | so not many | 18:21 |
| === thomas__ is now known as toomanythomas | ||
| Thomas | It's just that I don't know round my IRC Chat client yet! | 18:22 |
| Tm_T | Thomas: heh, take your time :) | 18:22 |
| Thomas | It's name is Colloquy and it is hard to work around I give you that! | 18:23 |
| toomanythomas | ok, don't hate me. But say you had an ubuntu partition that took your whole disk, and you wanted to install vista in dual boot (NOT in the reverse order). Has anyone tried it, and will it screw up my grub or even my linux installation? | 18:23 |
| SebNaitsabes | toomanythomas: Grub can be re installed | 18:24 |
| SebNaitsabes | !Grub | 18:24 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 18:24 |
| Thomas | Windows is a good OS but It now it wants to follow mac! | 18:24 |
| toomanythomas | if it wants to follow mac, that's fine by me ! | 18:24 |
| Thomas | Who can blame it them macs are expensive | 18:24 |
| Tm_T | Thomas: now now, offtopic ;) | 18:24 |
| Thomas | It is only right that everyone gets the Mac OS teckno! | 18:25 |
| Thomas | On the "Infirior` hardware | 18:25 |

| SebNaitsabes | !offtopic | Thomas | 18:25 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Thomas: you have my condolences. | 18:25 |
| ubottu | Thomas: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 18:25 |
| Tm_T | Thomas: I rephrase, offtopic, this is for support, not for some fiery rants ;) | 18:25 |
| toomanythomas | I hate to dual boot. But there are just small annoyances that sort of force me to: having to work on Word for collaborative projects (I know, codeweavers...); adobe acrobat (and don't tell me pdftk does the same stuff), etc. | 18:26 |
| Thomas | I know I need help on virtual pc on ubuntu! | 18:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | You can run Windows inside Ubuntu yes | 18:26 |
| Tm_T | Thomas: then ask help ;) | 18:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | uh Kubuntu | 18:26 |
| === jpds is now known as Guest44515 | ||
| Daisuke_Laptop | so ask your question related to that, try to ease up on the exclamation marks, and avoid the offtopic rants | 18:27 |
| SebNaitsabes | !virtualbox | 18:27 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 18:27 |
| Thomas | Thanks! | 18:27 |
| Tm_T | erm | 18:27 |
| toomanythomas | sebnaitsabes Yes, but that's still a lot of hassle... and I would think vista inside of virtualbox would not run nicely... | 18:27 |
| SebNaitsabes | and if you want USB support use the PUEL the closed source versin of Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org | 18:27 |
| SebNaitsabes | ,but yes that's a point about Vista | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | depends on how much RAM you have though | 18:28 |
| alt_ctrl | hello i am back with my halfway upgrade genii r u there? | 18:28 |
| toomanythomas | 2g, but not that great a proc | 18:28 |
| Tm_T | and again you flow to offtopic? =) | 18:28 |
| Tm_T | veek: hi | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | well I woudn't try Vista on this PC in a VM, because I only have 1GB RAM | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | ,but when I have just Vista booted it does run alright with 1GB RAM | 18:28 |
| toomanythomas | oh really? what proc do you have? | 18:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | however with 2GB RAM I think it's worth a try using Virtualbox, and you can give loads more RAM to the Vista VM. whilst Kubuntu does not get that much, but can still run well | 18:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | which version of Vista? | 18:29 |
| toomanythomas | dunno. haven't bought/looked at it yet | 18:29 |
| toomanythomas | but they sell it for $12 here, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a try | 18:30 |
| SebNaitsabes | a pirate copy? | 18:30 |
| toomanythomas | nono, university deal | 18:30 |
| SebNaitsabes | which Vista? | 18:30 |
| toomanythomas | no idea. Let me check | 18:30 |
| * Tm_T slaps SebNaitsabes and toomanythomas | 18:30 | |
| alt_ctrl | genii r u there? anyone who knows how to finish and upgrade that stopped halfway andnow i can log in to the hardy but have no internet? and i am using a live cd right now? | 18:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | I am a mirror you just slapped your self :) | 18:31 |
| Tm_T | SebNaitsabes and toomanythomas, vista stuff slips into offtopic category ;) | 18:31 |
| toomanythomas | sorry Tm_T... we'll get back to kubuntu with a discussion of the new KDE :) | 18:31 |
| Tm_T | danke | 18:31 |
| toomanythomas | (later ;) ) | 18:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | Vista makes nasty use of RAM | 18:32 |

| Richard | i use vista and i quite like it | 18:32 |
| Richard | ram is cheap anyways | 18:32 |
| toomanythomas | loool | 18:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | Vista is a Pile Of Shit, but for $12 and a legal copy they might as well get it | 18:32 |

| alt_ctrl | well we tried so far a command line apt get that failed.. | 18:33 |
| toomanythomas | oh here we go: it's on topic b/c the discussion is whether I should stick to kubuntu or not ;) | 18:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | heh to be fair it's better than XP in certain ways, and even Kubuntu, but hey I am a Gnome user so :D | 18:33 |
| toomanythomas | yeah but gnome is a .... just kidding | 18:33 |
| Richard | i prefer Vista over XP as well | 18:33 |
| Richard | Kde over Gnome of course | 18:34 |
| toomanythomas | of course | 18:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | Gnome over KDE :) | 18:34 |
| toomanythomas | this is sthg I really don't understand. How s.o. can prefer gnome | 18:34 |
| Richard | indeed | 18:34 |
| Richard | gnome is so baisc | 18:34 |
| toomanythomas | I started w/ it b/c it came with Ubuntu. But it's just so ugly and unpolished. The menus all look different and grey | 18:34 |
| Richard | yep | 18:35 |
| Richard | just like w98 | 18:35 |
| Tm_T | toomanythomas: stop, that is NOT Kubuntu support | 18:35 |

| Tm_T | toomanythomas: np, feel free to join #kubuntu-offtopic | 18:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | well Gnome can be customized to look like Mac OS X a nice theme | 18:36 |
| Richard | kde can also | 18:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | yeah, but | 18:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | KDE is more Windows like | 18:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | plus slightly more geekey | 18:36 |
| Richard | but i'd rather have a mac instead | 18:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | plus a bit more complacted, becasue of how things are done with the menus over Gnome | 18:37 |
| alt_ctrl | anyone knows what to do when adept manager fails to finish the upgrade and youend up with a halfway done hardy? | 18:37 |
| Richard | Windows is better in many ways | 18:37 |
| Tm_T | SebNaitsabes: more windows-like how? (I think we should talk this on #kubuntu-offtopic ) | 18:37 |
| Richard | i see nothing wrong with kde adopting stuff form it | 18:37 |

| alt_ctrl | well i am on live cd anyway | 18:45 |
| Richard | why didn't you try aptitude | 18:45 |
| Richard | instead of apt-get | 18:46 |
| alt_ctrl | well firt i used the built in adept manager | 18:46 |
| alt_ctrl | then it stopped during upgrade | 18:46 |
| Richard | adept uses apt-get so same thing | 18:46 |
| alt_ctrl | then iwas here and they adviced me to do what i done | 18:46 |
| alt_ctrl | what to do now? | 18:46 |
| Richard | your problem now then | 18:47 |
| Richard | i've no idea, apt just broke your system | 18:47 |
| alt_ctrl | well i jsut did what u said to do... | 18:47 |
| Richard | (18:37:59) (Richard) sudo aptitude -f install | 18:48 |
| Richard | this? | 18:48 |
| alt_ctrl | yes | 18:48 |
| alt_ctrl | and i copied the output | 18:48 |
| alt_ctrl | it sked me if yes and i said yes | 18:48 |

| alt_ctrl | or how di i do a clean install wihout formatting my home directory but still be able to access every setting i have there | 19:08 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Perhaps try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and see if it can finish doing that | 19:08 |
| alt_ctrl | and programs too | 19:08 |
| alt_ctrl | ok i try that | 19:08 |
| alt_ctrl | console-setup is broken or not fully installed | 19:09 |

| alt_ctrl | yes i was wondering | 19:46 |
| zabbadapp | don't everyone keep /home on a separate partition for super-easy reinstalls? | 19:46 |
| alt_ctrl | and how can i get back to my old settings? | 19:46 |
| genii | zabbadapp: You'd be surprised how many not | 19:46 |
| alt_ctrl | welli do have home on seperate partition | 19:47 |
| alt_ctrl | so i guess i can jsut not format the /home right? | 19:47 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Good. Then you can reinstall without much incident. Whatever seetings you had are still in there | 19:47 |
| alt_ctrl | then how am i going to be able to have my old settings? | 19:47 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes, exactly don't format /home | 19:48 |
| zabbadapp | and make sure you don't format that home-partition! | 19:48 |
| alt_ctrl | and if i make the same username during install | 19:48 |
| alt_ctrl | i can log in like that? | 19:48 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes same username. | 19:48 |
| alt_ctrl | witht he same password i have now? | 19:48 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes same pw | 19:48 |
| alt_ctrl | casue some years ago i di dthat and it di dnot work that way | 19:48 |
| alt_ctrl | so when i tried to install it | 19:48 |
| genii | Or new password doesn't matter since it's not stoed in your home directory anyhow | 19:48 |
| alt_ctrl | it wanted to install to the free space i have now | 19:48 |

| alt_ctrl | and leave the /home alone but do the rest? | 19:49 |
| zanberdo | where do I configure the alt-tab combo? | 19:49 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes manual partitioning, leave whatever the old /home partition is alone, format and install to some other one | 19:49 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Do you recall what partition was previously assigned /home ? | 19:50 |
| alt_ctrl | the one it gave me | 19:50 |
| wamty_ | i'm trying to install Media Centre Edition on a Kubuntu V8.04.1 package,the installation starts fine,but as soon as it asks me where the disks or ISO's are it gives me an error that says:unable to cache LMCE CD 1 | 19:50 |
| wamty_ | ANYONE? | 19:50 |
| genii | e: sda4 sdb2 or so on? | 19:50 |
| alt_ctrl | is there a way to check it now? | 19:51 |
| zabbadapp | have you done any tweaking in /etc ? if so, do a copy of it to you home directory to later recall how you i.e. configured sshd_conf or something like that | 19:51 |
| alt_ctrl | no i dont know them | 19:51 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes. You are on hd boot to that drive? | 19:51 |
| alt_ctrl | no i am on live cd | 19:51 |

| alt_ctrl | we did some chmod i am not sure if that was for it | 19:52 |
| alt_ctrl | if i am hd boot i dont have internet | 19:52 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: OK. pastebin result of: sudo fdisk -l then we will mount possibles in turn to see which it is | 19:52 |
| zabbadapp | wamty_: isn't there an mce-channel? sounds like a specific problem | 19:52 |
| alt_ctrl | well cant not open /proc/partitions | 19:53 |
| genii | zabbadapp: I already gave him the bot factoid that we don't support MCE here and it gave him the proper channel to go to | 19:53 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Forget about /proc/partions! I'm talking about /dev/someharddrivedevicename is what we need here, the one with /home contents | 19:53 |
| alt_ctrl | well that was the answer to sudo fdisk -l | 19:54 |

| alt_ctrl | same thing | 20:01 |
| alt_ctrl | that what we jsut tried | 20:02 |

| wamty_ | Pici ? | 20:02 |
| Pici | wamty_: You need to join #linuxmce | 20:02 |

| alt_ctrl | so what am i supposed to do now? | 20:18 |
| alt_ctrl | i only followed the one kubuntu gave me then upgraded | 20:18 |
| alt_ctrl | where is the /home? int he first one that says linux or the second one that says extended? | 20:20 |
| === bmk789_haircut is now known as bmk789 | ||

| kosh | please... :( | 20:37 |
| XJman | Can someone give me a hand installing ndiswrapper from source? | 20:37 |
| zabbadapp | kosh: just type the problem and if anyone knows the solution you get an answer | 20:38 |
| kosh | ok, thanks. | 20:38 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys && sudo mount -t /proc proc /mnt/proc | 20:38 |
| alt_ctrl | this is all in once right? | 20:38 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes, just copy and paste it in from here | 20:39 |
| alt_ctrl | ok | 20:39 |
| XJman | If I'm told to run a make distclean at my source-directory I would run make distclean /home/usr/file | 20:39 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Bah I made a typo | 20:39 |
| kosh | I Had a problem with mi web cam, it's a Philips PCVC675k. I've installed the drivers and works perfectly, but the microphone on the web cam doesn't | 20:40 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Last command is: sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc | 20:40 |
| alt_ctrl | mount: unknown filesystem type '/proc' | 20:40 |
| alt_ctrl | ok | 20:40 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Yes, I just caught it, corrected one is above | 20:40 |
| alt_ctrl | after the second && ? | 20:41 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: You can just run it separately, the other ones already ran now | 20:41 |
| alt_ctrl | ok | 20:42 |
| alt_ctrl | done it | 20:42 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Ok. Now: sudo chroot /mnt | 20:42 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: At this point we are now in the old root filesystem | 20:42 |
| XJman | Has anyone here installed ndiswrapper without internet? I'm lost trying to compile it | 20:43 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: So try: dpkg --configure -a | 20:43 |
| alt_ctrl | ok now i am root@ubuntu | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | im looking for a web interface for sound but I want the sound to stay on the remote system (not streaming to the client). XUL Remote for Amarok is similar but I want it to be controllable from mobile phone browsers which dont di XUL as yet. Can anyone please suggest a solution | 20:43 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: We will not need sudo in this case becase we are on as like root there. So be extremely careful! | 20:43 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: I'll be back. pastebin any errors and I'll read on return | 20:44 |
| alt_ctrl | ok i am extremely careful when copy paste- ing here:) | 20:44 |
| kosh | Could some one help me with mi web cam please? | 20:44 |
| alt_ctrl | its like setting up this and that | 20:44 |

| sredna | hi | 20:45 |
| alt_ctrl | looks like no errors... | 20:45 |
| sredna | what is the system settings in kde4 | 20:45 |
| sredna | *questionmark* | 20:45 |
| alt_ctrl | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29385/ | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sredna: kdesudo kdesettings, try tab completing | 20:47 |
| sredna | ActionParsnip: thank you, i found it :) | 20:48 |
| sredna | it | 20:48 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Back. Reading | 20:48 |
| sredna | s about broken in usage, but maybe configuring fonts correctly will help... | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sredna: always use kdesudo for gui apps | 20:49 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Great, we're finally getting somewhere | 20:49 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Now issue: apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:49 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Is ite to find the network and connect out? abl | 20:50 |
| FrauHansen | what is the standard filter for "not"? like *.odf is all .odf, how do i exclude .odf? like NOT(.odf)? | 20:50 |
| genii | bah | 20:50 |
| sredna | ActionParsnip: what? i want to configure KDE 4, as me | 20:50 |
| sigma_12 | could i get my pc to turn off after 15min of no network activity on the lan port? | 20:50 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Is it able to find network and connect out? | 20:50 |
| alt_ctrl | i dont know | 20:51 |
| alt_ctrl | how do i check it? | 20:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sredna: if its not massively sensitve to system (passwords etc) then you can run it as you, if its for big changes, use kdesudo | 20:52 |
| alt_ctrl | now i am on live cd should i go and restart from hd? | 20:52 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Let it finish trying to get a list and trying to update. If it can't connect out it will tell you | 20:52 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: NO not yet for restart | 20:52 |
| sigma_12 | i finally figured out how to share a usb internet connection! | 20:52 |
| alt_ctrl | ok | 20:52 |
| sredna | ActionParsnip: i'm quite convinced that if i run systemsettings under sudo, i will not configure my own desktop | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | sredna: true, it will configure roots | 20:53 |
| sredna | ActionParsnip: and btw, i have been running linux and kde since 1997, but not yet kde4, as it is still not very usable in production use | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | sredna: i was unaware what you were configuring but you seem clear of whats what | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 20:53 |
| genii | alt_ctrl: Is it doing anything at all or hung up trying to contact some repository right now? | 20:54 |
| sredna | ActionParsnip: the reason i asked is that typing 'sys' in krunner did not offer it (which is obviously a bug) | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sredna: i just use yakuake / konsole, less rubbish on the system | 20:54 |
| alt_ctrl | its running | 20:54 |

| altctrl | genii i am back from hd now | 21:00 |
| altctrl | i have the network working but i amsure not everything is fine | 21:00 |
| altctrl | becasue when the screen comes in it does not have those small icons when kde starts up | 21:01 |
| genii | altctrl: Well at least it's booted. | 21:01 |
| altctrl | yes | 21:01 |
| XJman | Anyone have expierence with ndiswrapper and installing the program without an available internet connection | 21:01 |
| altctrl | an i got the backgrounds everything right on the first look | 21:01 |
| altctrl | but i do not know if the upgrade is full now or where i am... | 21:02 |
| genii | altctrl: You have the bottom panel or it's disappeared? | 21:02 |
| altctrl | i have everything the same as i had before | 21:02 |
| altctrl | one thing is strange the desktop pager shows itself too in the small windows and it di dnot before | 21:03 |
| genii | altctrl: OK. About your small startup kde icons and so forth I have no idea | 21:04 |
| XJman | After cd into my ndiswrapper directory I'll run make distclean and it get *** No rule to make target 'distclean'. Stop. Leaving directory... then distclean error 2 | 21:04 |
| altctrl | well i guess the splashscreen or what it is called is missing... | 21:04 |
| altctrl | is there a way to check if the upgrade is finished? | 21:05 |
| XJman | I get the same error for make, and sudo make install | 21:05 |
| altctrl | should i jsut run the adept manager again ? | 21:05 |
| genii | altctrl: Likely. Maye try: sudo apt-get install ksplash | 21:05 |
| === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx | ||
| altctrl | it says ksplash is already the newest version | 21:07 |
| genii | altctrl: Then try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ksplash | 21:07 |
| altctrl | anyway what matters is to make sure that everything is right here | 21:07 |

| Sydero | I heard that we can run sudo firefox and run check updates from there | 21:09 |
| engineer | do yourself a facor | 21:10 |
| engineer | and use the reps | 21:10 |
| engineer | smoother upgrade | 21:10 |
| altctrl | do you know how to check if it is done all the upgrade | 21:11 |
| genii | XJman: Obviously there's no file there called Makefile for it to use as a hint as to how and wat to compile | 21:11 |
| XJman | Its there. I can see it in the diretory genii, for some reason its not reading it, or I'm doing something very wrong | 21:12 |

| altctrl | yes 0 for everything | 21:15 |
| altctrl | thank you very much | 21:15 |
| arty | do some knowe program to virtualizing cd | 21:15 |
| genii | XJman: Does: make --help show anything? | 21:15 |
| altctrl | where should i send the sixpack? | 21:16 |
| arty | virtual cd some program | 21:16 |
| genii | XJman: Sorry not that, | 21:16 |
| bobo | i have learned so much on my os and alot of its apps on irc i just want to thank you guys one time | 21:16 |
| Sydero | you don't need make --help | 21:16 |
| Sydero | just read the makefile | 21:16 |
| Sydero | to see the options | 21:16 |
| arty | in windows is deamon tool in linux is? | 21:16 |
| Sydero | or the readme | 21:16 |
| genii | Sydero: Yes, but many have help or so to tell you which make options like make new make unistall or so on are int here | 21:17 |
| genii | XJman: Sometimes make help will just list them. | 21:17 |
| XJman | Yeah, just the various commands to disable/enable various things. my errors seem to be implicit rules errors so if I run make -r it gives me the same thing | 21:18 |
| XJman | -r being the command to disable the implicit rules | 21:18 |
| genii | XJman: Did you do already a ./configure or was makefile there? | 21:18 |
| XJman | When I run /configure it says no such file | 21:19 |
| Sydero | usually you always do:./configure;make;make install;make clean | 21:19 |
| Sydero | it's ./configure | 21:19 |
| Sydero | not /configure | 21:19 |
| altctrl | bye all its timefor me to sleep now | 21:20 |
| Sydero | ls -a | 21:20 |
| Sydero | to see all the hidden files | 21:20 |
| XJman | I didn't notice the . | 21:20 |
| Sydero | cya | 21:20 |
| genii | altctrl: Nite | 21:20 |
| XJman | sudo ./configure gives me the same result. So I'm missing a step somewhere? | 21:20 |
| Sydero | no need for sudo | 21:21 |
| XJman | Same thing with or without the sudo. I've unpacked the tarball, created the file directory /home/adam/ndiswrapper-1.53 But for the life of me I can not get this thing to compile | 21:22 |
| genii | XJman: If ls shows the Makefile for instance as being there. You copied these files over from another box, as I inderstand. So maybe they are not owned byt he user you are running under. Or else the permissions are such that makes it impossible to read or execute | 21:22 |
| Sydero | yeah I suppose you could chmod them or chown them | 21:22 |
| XJman | genii: I copied the tar.bz file and unpacked that, | 21:22 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 21:22 |
| Sydero | ls the directory | 21:23 |
| Sydero | and verify a makefile | 21:23 |
| Sydero | maybe you're in the wrong directory :/ | 21:24 |
| genii | You unpacked the tarbal and created the directory. But did you untar into that diredctory which you made? | 21:25 |
| Sydero | if it's .tar.bz | 21:25 |
| Sydero | then you need to untar it:P | 21:25 |
| Sydero | after you unbziped it | 21:25 |
| XJman | genii: I've followed this walkthrough http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,installation/ | 21:26 |
| Sydero | why not install ndiswrapper from adept? | 21:27 |
| XJman | Not listed there. | 21:27 |
| Sydero | ndiswrapper-common | 21:27 |
| Sydero | and ndiswrapper-utils is | 21:27 |
| Sydero | hmmmm | 21:27 |
| XJman | I've tried, there is nothing listed under ndiswrapper-common. This pc can't get to a hardwired internet due to the fact its a 500lb desk | 21:29 |
| Sydero | What if you installed ndisgtk on its own? | 21:29 |
| XJman | From Adept? | 21:30 |
| Sydero | yeah :S | 21:31 |
| XJman | Not listed either | 21:31 |
| Sydero | #1 ndiswrapper is already installed | 21:31 |
| Sydero | on ubuntu by default | 21:31 |
| Sydero | that's why it isn't listed | 21:31 |
| Sydero | "Ubuntu comes with the necessary ndiswrapper module pre-installed, but it needs the ndiswrapper-utils package to get it working. There is also a graphical interface to using ndiswrapper which you can use." | 21:31 |
| XJman | Then how do I get the utils file? I can't seem to find it in adept | 21:32 |
| Sydero | "Note: Starting with Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper), ndiswrapper-utils is included on the standard installation CD" | 21:32 |
| Sydero | ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 shows up for me on adept | 21:32 |
| Sydero | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 21:33 |
| XJman | Not for me, I can't seem to find it on the kubuntu disk either | 21:33 |

| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 23:11 |
| Coggz | !ntfs-3g | 23:11 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:11 |
| Coggz | does that help rekusha? | 23:11 |
| redo | Hello everyone! | 23:12 |
| Coggz | hi | 23:12 |
| redo | I just upgraded my memory and Kubuntu would not start up now... | 23:13 |
| redo | I think, that the problem is Kubuntu specific, because neither Windows XP nor Gentoo live cd have problems with starting up | 23:13 |
| Coggz | hmm... do you see a boot screen (post) | 23:14 |
| redo | but Kubuntu from my harddisk and from live cd hang up | 23:14 |
| perihan | hello | 23:14 |
| perihan | I'm new user in kubuntu | 23:14 |
| redo | Yes, I do. Kubuntu hangs up at the line "Preparing restricted drivers" | 23:14 |
| rekusha | i'm have ntfs-3g. but i'm don't se my disk d (ntfs - with out errors) | 23:14 |
| Coggz | ah, how much ram do you have before and after redo? | 23:15 |
| Coggz | hi perihan | 23:15 |
| perihan | I think i got a virus in wine | 23:15 |
| Coggz | rekusha: try reinstalling | 23:15 |
| perihan | although I unistall it using adept | 23:15 |
| Coggz | perihan: oh dear... lol... i didn't think you could! | 23:15 |
| Coggz | perihan: ok, you need to do a complete removal in Synaptic | 23:15 |
| perihan | how can i do this | 23:16 |
| Coggz | perihan: in adept find 'Synaptic' | 23:16 |
| rekusha | Coggz: reinstaling twise & reinstal system... have more ideas? | 23:16 |
| perihan | yeah | 23:16 |
| redo | My system settings are: Abit AX8, AMD Athlon 64; memory before 512 and after upgrading 1.5 GB (added 1GB Apace memory module) | 23:16 |
| Coggz | rekusha: hmm not sure, ask in #ubuntu | 23:16 |
| Coggz | perihan: install synaptic | 23:16 |
| Coggz | redo: 1 moment | 23:17 |
| perihan | ok | 23:17 |
| perihan | it is not istalled me | 23:17 |
| Coggz | install it perihan | 23:17 |
| perihan | ok | 23:17 |
| perihan | Coggzy : Then I use synaptic for unistall wine, is it true? | 23:18 |
| perihan | now I'm installing | 23:18 |
| Coggz | yes, but do a complete removal. that will delete the virtual C:\ drive too perihan | 23:19 |
| engineer | aptitude remove wine | 23:19 |
| perihan | how can I delete virtual C:\ drive (Sorry my stupid questions I'm a newbee ) | 23:21 |
| Coggz | redo: as a precaution run a ram test. When grub bootloader shows, press enter (i think) choose 'Memtest86+' and run it for a bit | 23:21 |
| Coggz | perihan: complete removal should do it | 23:21 |
| jsubl2__ | !debug | 23:23 |
| ubottu | For help debugging your program, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures | 23:23 |
| Coggz | ok rekusha | 23:24 |
| Coggz | perihan: is that sorting the problem? | 23:25 |
| redo | Thanks, Coggz. I tried some tests (first 5) with only the new added module, and there were no errors... I will try to use the first test for both modules together now. | 23:25 |

| perihan | or should I also restart computer | 23:28 |
| Coggz | perihan: ya, try that | 23:28 |
| Coggz | HardDrago: SQL, more than likely. VB,not sure about that | 23:31 |
| HardDrago | yeap the front end is the big problem | 23:31 |
| Coggz | HardDrago: ah, no basic yes, but the visual no as it is a windows specific program | 23:31 |
| perihan | hello | 23:32 |
| Coggz | HardDrago: try GTK or QT for frontends... | 23:32 |
| Coggz | perihan: hi again | 23:32 |
| perihan | i restarted my computer but wine is still there | 23:32 |
| perihan | nothing change | 23:32 |
| HardDrago | some Graphic front end could use with MySql? | 23:32 |
| Coggz | perihan: ok. Open konquerer/dolphin (any file browser) | 23:33 |
| Coggz | HardDrago: you could just use PHP/HTML/CSS - very easy and extremnely flexible... | 23:33 |
| HardDrago | by the way Kubuntu is amazing the problem is the most r thinkimg like it was windows | 23:34 |
| perihan | i opned dolphin | 23:34 |
| Coggz | perihan: find ~/.wine/drive_c (you need to be able to see hidden files) | 23:34 |
