| geirhard | well, i'm trying to install a kdm theme, but when I restart the x server, it says when kdm starts: "cannot open /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Whatever" | 00:13 |
| geirhard | i don't know whether it says cannot open or cannot find, but the thing is the dir IS i that path and i'm using kdm theme manager under 3.5.9 kde | 00:14 |
| geirhard | i've tried to change permissions of the themes directories but it doesn't work either... | 00:15 |
| geirhard | neither have i found anything on google | 00:15 |
| geirhard | any ideas? | 00:16 |
| dynoll3 | remember me and my "virus that chagne the background?" | 00:17 |
| Kybish | thanks crash! | 00:17 |
| dynoll3 | well if someone do, to fix it u just have to do a system restore :D | 00:18 |
| Dein | what's this all about http://paste.ubuntu.com/30134/ my syslog is a mess because of this. can i stop it? | 00:19 |
| ign0ramus | dein: do you have a static or dynamic ip? | 00:20 |
| Dein | ign0ramus: dynamic, i get it via dhcp | 00:21 |
| geirhard | he is referring to the public ip | 00:21 |
| Dein | i'm not sure, then :S | 00:22 |
| ign0ramus | dein: integrated wireless card or plugin (like a pcmia)? | 00:22 |
| Dein | ign0ramus: it's not wireless, wired dsl connection | 00:23 |
| ign0ramus | dein: through a router? | 00:23 |
| Dein | ign0ramus: no | 00:26 |
| ign0ramus | dein: well, its pretty clear that you're having trouble pulling an ip from dhcp... looking for a workaround... | 00:28 |
| Dein | the workaround i found is killing off dhclient after connecting to the net, but not the best solution | 00:29 |
| josa | i get similar problem if i get an ip from windows and then boot to linux. i guess it fixes itself after lease expires | 00:29 |
| Dein | to me it happens everytime i connect, unless i pkill dhclient afterwards | 00:30 |
| josa | actually, i get it in xp too, there reseting the modem works.. in ubuntu ill just have to wait ~30min | 00:31 |
| josa | and ive tried eveything from ifup to dhclient to networking restart etc. | 00:32 |
| geirhard | seems more likely to be a router problem | 00:32 |
| geirhard | (switch) | 00:32 |
| ign0ramus | i think he's wired to the modem | 00:33 |
| Drk_Guy | Hi | 00:33 |
| Drk_Guy | How can i modify the k menu? | 00:33 |
| _CrashMaster_ | If it's OS independant, then the problem is in the NIC's firmware / driver, or the router's firmware. | 00:33 |
| geirhard | modem? but then why does she need dhclient? | 00:33 |
| Drk_Guy | Like in gnome, it is alacarte, but in kde...? | 00:33 |
| _CrashMaster_ | Drk_Guy: Right-Click it, and choose Menu Editor | 00:33 |
| josa | i meant 'dsl box' = modem | 00:34 |
| Drk_Guy | Thx _CrashMaster | 00:34 |
| Dein | geirhard: (i'm a he) ... when i disable dhclient i cannot connect. i get connected and then it breaks after a few seconds | 00:34 |
| geirhard | hm... | 00:34 |
| ign0ramus | dein: what is the output of command: " dhclient eth0 " | 00:35 |
| ign0ramus | dein: must run as root or sudo | 00:35 |
| Dein | ign0ramus: under way | 00:35 |
| josa | im guessing it's the same as in pastebin :) | 00:36 |

| geirhard | mmmm he could try to set autonegotiation off | 00:38 |
| geirhard | don't remember how to do it, but i remember having a similar problem and that fixed it | 00:38 |
| ign0ramus | dein: the only thing I can see is that you're requesting on 192.168.1.10 - is that correct? | 00:39 |
| Dein | well, that's what it says | 00:39 |
| Dein | the only thing i've set up when setting up my internet is the two dns servers | 00:40 |
| Dein | and this is not any of them | 00:40 |
| ign0ramus | dein: i know that's what it says, but is that the correct setting for your config? | 00:41 |

| ign0ramus | dein: hmm.... usually people with that problem have connection issues, so you're lucky in that sense. I honestly don't know. | 00:43 |

| quentin | uhuh | 00:46 |
| quentin | Who am I speaking to? | 00:46 |
| Jucato | <quentin> Does anyone know how to get the Alt+F2 shortcut working with Emerald window decorator? <-- you might want to ask in #compiz-fusion | 00:46 |
| quentin | Jucato: ok. | 00:47 |
| quentin | Jucato: maybe #Emerald because compiz+kwin works like a charm | 00:47 |
| _2 | either way it's not a "kubuntu" question, but neither was mine. | 00:48 |
| alpha_ | hello | 00:48 |
| geirhard | dein: try ethtool -A autoneg off $device | 00:48 |
| Jucato | quentin: Emerald is Compiz's window decoration. compiz is a window manager like kwin. you can't use compiz *and* kwin at the same time. so "compiz+kwin" isn't possible | 00:48 |
| geirhard | $device = eth0 or eth1 or whatever you use | 00:49 |
| alpha_ | how to add youtube to elisa | 00:49 |
| Dein | Cannot get device pause settings: No such device | 00:49 |
| Jucato | quentin: either way, it's compiz that is grabbing the keyboard shortcuts, so best to ask in #compiz or #compiz-fusion (whichever their channel is) | 00:49 |
| quentin | I'm sorry, I mean KDE Window Decorator | 00:49 |
| quentin | ok | 00:49 |
| geirhard | no... don't think this is the causant of the problem... | 00:50 |
| geirhard | should be some kind of conflict in your router/modem configuration... | 00:51 |

| lebafar | how do I sudo to save a menu.lst file if I am inside Kate editor ? | 01:32 |
| gayou | you should have open kate with gksudo | 01:33 |
| gayou | before editing the file | 01:33 |
| histo | lebafar: you can you should have used sudo before you made the changes. You could copy exit then paste after you gain rights | 01:33 |

| lebafar | can I just open the application with sudo and then open whtever file with sudo enabled ? | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | do NOT use sudo for gui apps. | 01:38 |

| john-charles | is there a way to do a non destructive move, essentially rsync except once a file has been synced to the dest delete it. I would just run rsync and then delete the source, but I don't have enough disk space. Also the dir contains subdir's so as far as I can tell dointg a mv command would be very destructive. | 01:39 |

| _2 | english word/phrase "understand" literally to "sdand under" probably from the idea of education dating as far back as the early rabinical schools where the master not only taught but exracised authority over the deciples. thus as they learned they "stood"(possition not posture) under the master. | 02:05 |

| Jucato | ICM: you should have mentioned that the first time then. people can't presume that everyone either Googles first or knows what he's using/doing. also, not everyone (and not everyone who's currently available) would know how to solve it, hence the suggestion to do research (which you already did, but didn't mention until you were told to) | 02:27 |

| Jucato | ICM: and btw, no one said "ew proprietary". _2 was just stating a fact (a fact that has become all the more so obvious with KDE 4) | 02:29 |
| ICM | dlee: 64-bit, it's an Intel Core 2 Duo, and I'm running the AMD64 copy of Kubuntu | 02:29 |
| dlee | maybe you can try using 32bit version | 02:29 |
| ICM | 32-bit version of Kubuntu or the driver? | 02:30 |
| dlee | both | 02:30 |
| ICM | at the same time or different times? | 02:30 |
| dlee | at the same time | 02:30 |
| dlee | i think it's impossible to use 32 & 64bit at the same time | 02:30 |
| ICM | Well, I might as well go back to Windows if I'm going to 32 bit, see, I have 4 GB of RAM, and I was hoping to be able to use it all :/ | 02:31 |
| dlee | you can use it all with linux 32bit | 02:32 |
| ICM | How so? O_o | 02:32 |
| Jucato | I thought 4GB was the max RAM yo could use on 32bit? | 02:32 |
| dlee | yes | 02:32 |
| ben | Every time I try to emerge gentoo-sources on my install I keep getting a fetch error. It tells me I have an invalid log file :merge.error Can anyone give me a hand | 02:33 |
| Jucato | so you could use 32bit since you only have 4GB RAM | 02:33 |
| dlee | hmmm... it seems that 32bit linux can access up to 64Gigs | 02:33 |

| * Jucato also thought that Windows was mentioned as the better solution to the 64-bit problem... since he's heard how Windows has no 64-bit version... | 02:34 | |
| Jucato | bah.. that's another story not for #kubuntu :P | 02:35 |

| hsandhu | how do i install something from within different user in consoe? | 02:42 |
| hsandhu | consoe* | 02:42 |
| hsandhu | console* | 02:42 |
| hsandhu | i tried using su but it says authentication failed | 02:43 |
| posingaspopular | su username | 02:44 |
| posingaspopular | you probably got the passwd wrong | 02:45 |
| Jucato | su - username (I think that's preferred..) | 02:45 |
| _2 | hsandhu sudo | 02:46 |
| _2 | hsandhu while both su and sudo allow you to specify the username they also both default to root. in .*ubuntu root account is locked by default and thus su or as Jucato pointed out su - wont work. you'll have to use sudo and it works because your account isn't locked. (locked account really means that the password authentication for said account will always fail) | 02:49 |

| bdizzle | hi | 02:51 |
| _2 | bdizzle | 02:51 |
| bdizzle | I'm running Hardy with a dual boot of XP Pro with a third partition on my laptop. | 02:51 |
| bdizzle | is there a way to get Kubuntu to automatically mount the windows and third partition when it boots? | 02:51 |
| _2 | !fstab | 02:51 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 02:51 |
| _2 | !ntfs | 02:52 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 02:52 |
| bdizzle | !FUSE | 02:52 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 02:52 |
| _2 | Jucato isn't that infonode old ? doesn't hardy come with ntfs write support builtin ? | 02:53 |
| bdizzle | meh, I'd prefer if someone could walk me through it | 02:53 |
| bdizzle | it does, but I have to go into media and double click on the drive, enter in my password, then it lets me get into it | 02:53 |
| Jucato | _2: never tested it, so can't confirm. sorry | 02:53 |
| bdizzle | I'd rather be able to do that right from boot, rather than having to enter in my password each time | 02:53 |
| _2 | bdizzle i'll give an example of a line in an fstab file. /dev/sda6 /media/windarz ntfs-3g auto,fmask=111,dmask=000 0 0 | 02:55 |
| bdizzle | okay, I understood up to the ntfs-3g | 02:55 |
| _2 | bdizzle something like that (tuned to your system of course) will automaticly mount the fs at boot time. | 02:56 |
| bdizzle | so /dev/sda6 is the hard drive location, /media/windarz is where to mount it, what are the rest? | 02:56 |
| bdizzle | what are the fmask and dmask? | 02:56 |
| _2 | up to the... that field sets the fs type the next sets the mount options and the last two should be 0's | 02:56 |
| _2 | fmask file mask dmask directory mask | 02:57 |
| bdizzle | okay | 02:57 |
| _2 | seeing that M$ file systems have no permissions bits you have to set a psyudo permission for the entire fs | 02:57 |
| _2 | if you don't specify then it will default to a root only access and you don't want that | 02:58 |
| bdizzle | gotcha | 02:58 |
| _2 | or should i say root only write access prolly universal read access | 02:58 |
| bdizzle | hmm | 02:58 |
| bdizzle | okay, so how do I get linux to show me what the hard drive names are to be able to mount them? | 02:59 |
| _2 | sudo fdisk -l | 02:59 |
| bdizzle | ie, I just booted up. in command line, I'm at the media folder | 02:59 |
| _2 | blkid | 02:59 |
| bdizzle | gotcha | 03:00 |
| _2 | either of those can be useful | 03:00 |
| bdizzle | okay, there are 7 drives listed there. I only have three partitions and then the swap | 03:00 |
| bdizzle | what the hell are the rest? | 03:01 |
| bdizzle | is there a graphical way to see this? | 03:01 |
| _2 | you can pastebin them. and umm yeah... but i don't recall what/where | 03:01 |
| bdizzle | gparted I think? | 03:01 |
| bdizzle | pastebin? | 03:02 |
| _2 | qtparted | 03:02 |
| _2 | !paste | 03:02 |
| ubottu | 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) | 03:02 |
| bdizzle | okay, how do I use it? I've got entered, how do I get it into the chat? | 03:03 |
| bdizzle | http://paste.ubuntu.com/30165/ | 03:03 |
| bdizzle | maybe that works | 03:03 |
| _2 | bdizzle but i can explain without looking some of it. three fs's you use pluse the swap that's 4 and the extended partition that holds the logical drives that's 5 and windows has it's cute little boot partition that's 6 and you may have an oem hiden partition for recovery mode in M$ | 03:04 |
| _2 | now i'll look | 03:04 |
| bdizzle | wait, kubuntu is one partition (EXT3), swap on a second (SWAP), windows on a third (NTSF), and then I have another partition for media (NTSF) | 03:06 |
| bdizzle | if I could figure out which one has that nasty OEM recovery for Vista (that will never see the light of day on my computer), I'd love to remove that and gain back the 10 GB or so | 03:06 |
| _2 | yep sda1 is the hiden thingy sda2 is the M$ boot sda3 is the extended (you never see it, you see the other 3 it houses) sda5 is the other windows disk sda6 swap and sda7 your installed kubuntu | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | can we mount sda1 and wipe it and re-partion it so that I can use that space? | 03:07 |
| bdizzle | and then have kubuntu automatically mount sda2 and sda5 when it boots? | 03:08 |
| _2 | bdizzle you have everything valuable backed up ? | 03:08 |
| _2 | it's never considered safe to play with the partition table | 03:08 |
| bdizzle | on the two partitions only | 03:08 |
| bdizzle | I don't have a data transfer cable to transfer it to another computer | 03:09 |
| bdizzle | if I know at least to leave the windows partition alone (sda2), I should be okay | 03:09 |
| _2 | if you feel fine with proceeding then i would sujest using sudo cfdisk and setting the type on sda1 to "83" save and exit. then; sudo mke2fs -jc /dev/sda1 <<< note that will write an ext3 file system on that partition. i do not guarentee that it wont afect anything else "especially not M$" but that should do what you asked for. | 03:11 |
| bdizzle | okay | 03:12 |
| bdizzle | what about automounting the windows and third partition upon boot? | 03:12 |
| _2 | the rest is simply editing your fstab file it's in /etc and root owns it. | 03:12 |
| _2 | pastebin your existing fstab and i'll add three lines. if you want. (offer good for the next 5 seconds only) | 03:13 |
| _2 | else you can edit it. basicly following the example i already posted | 03:14 |
| _2 | or ask someone else... or... the world is full of options | 03:14 |
| bdizzle | lol | 03:15 |
| bdizzle | hold on | 03:15 |
| _2 | times up. | 03:15 |
| _2 | :) | 03:15 |
| bdizzle | let me pastbin | 03:15 |
| sea4ever | Heh, I love amarok. | 03:15 |
| bdizzle | I had to get to the file first | 03:15 |
| bdizzle | lol | 03:15 |
| bdizzle | amarok rocks | 03:15 |
| _2 | bdizzle i know. go ahead | 03:15 |
| bdizzle | http://paste.ubuntu.com/30167/ | 03:16 |
| bdizzle | I'll study it before I use it to try to learn | 03:16 |
| bdizzle | I think the thing that worried me was the UUID= | 03:16 |
| _2 | blkid can display them. but you can specify device names too | 03:19 |
| bdizzle | ok | 03:19 |
| _2 | the uuid is format specific i.e. reformating an fs will change the uuid | 03:19 |
| bdizzle | ah | 03:19 |
| bdizzle | hmm, I tried blkid and it didn't do anything in terminal | 03:20 |
| _2 | but it's not address specific. i.e. it can be moved around on the system bus/s and maintain the same uuid the device listing is address the uuid is fs name "not lable, lables can also be used" | 03:21 |
| bdizzle | hmm | 03:21 |
| _2 | bdizzle copy paste into konsole blkid | 03:22 |
| * _2 thinks typo.... | 03:22 | |
| bdizzle | yeah, nothing | 03:23 |
| _2 | really... no error nothing ? | 03:25 |
| _2 | anyway here's an example fstab http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d7382d329 | 03:25 |
| bdizzle | okay, I tried ps - l in terminal, and it claims that only bash and ps was running, yet firefox wasn't listed when I was trying to get it to load. Told it to load firefox from the konsole and it claimed it was already running (it wasn't) | 03:25 |
| _2 | should work. note that does depend on the ntfs-3g driver | 03:26 |
| bdizzle | how so? | 03:26 |
| _2 | bdizzle "the fstab i pasted should work ^ " the ps output... cause you didn't ask it for the full process list | 03:26 |
| _2 | bdizzle ps axf | 03:27 |
| _2 | bdizzle ps -A xu | 03:27 |
| _2 | switches are important to ps and anything in linux | 03:28 |
| bdizzle | okay | 03:28 |
| bdizzle | ahh, okay | 03:28 |
| * _2 likse pstree | 03:29 | |
| _2 | likes to typo too | 03:29 |
| bdizzle | *sigh* its gonna be a long time before I truly understand command line | 03:29 |
| bdizzle | at least I'm not afraid of it anymore | 03:29 |
| bdizzle | or at least not nearly as much as before | 03:29 |
| _2 | it do take time | 03:29 |
| bdizzle | k, brb, lemme see if this works | 03:30 |
| _2 | oh shoot. i just happened to think. grub will need adjusted for the unhiden partition O.O | 03:36 |
| bdizzle | okay, that didn't work | 03:36 |
| bdizzle | now it won't let me even load the drives | 03:36 |
| bdizzle | do you have the paste bin of the old file? | 03:37 |
| _2 | load the dirvers ? | 03:37 |
| _2 | load what drivers ? | 03:37 |
| bdizzle | sorry | 03:37 |
| _2 | oh drives | 03:37 |
| _2 | no r my bad | 03:38 |
| bdizzle | um, when I got into media/ and click on the drives, it now says permissions denied | 03:38 |
| bdizzle | what was the pastebin so that I can remember which lines you added to remove them | 03:38 |
| _2 | bdizzle you in kde ? | 03:38 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 03:38 |
| _2 | open a konsole and type mount | 03:38 |
| _2 | pastebin the output | 03:39 |
| bdizzle | http://paste.ubuntu.com/30171/ | 03:39 |
| _2 | bdizzle one other question did you reboot ? | 03:40 |
| bdizzle | yes, I did | 03:40 |
| bdizzle | that's why I disappeared | 03:40 |
| _2 | ok. i was afraid that grub might get lost in the shuffle but you have proved that fear vain | 03:40 |
| bdizzle | lol | 03:41 |
| _2 | ok give me just a second here. | 03:41 |
| bdizzle | can I temporarily change it back to the original now that I figured out what it was? | 03:41 |
| bdizzle | nevermind, if it boots at least, I'm okay, now that I've backed it up a bit | 03:42 |
| bdizzle | alright, so what do I need to do to fix this? | 03:44 |
| _2 | hang on just a minute. life happens too. i haven't left you to wonder. | 03:45 |
| bdizzle | lol, sorry | 03:46 |
| bdizzle | I'm trying to read the man page for blkid as you mentioned | 03:46 |
| isaa | Hello everyone | 03:46 |
| bdizzle | hello | 03:47 |
| isaa | I need a little bit of your help if you are not very busy right now | 03:47 |
| bdizzle | gah, what is with the response time from me clicking on firefox to it loading firefox being so slow (>5 -10 seconds) | 03:49 |
| bdizzle | I can try isaa, but I may not be of much help | 03:49 |
| lginn02 | anyone here use SuperKaramba? | 03:50 |
| _2 | bdizzle comment out the last three lines of your /etc/fstab and run this sudo apt-get install ntfs-config it's supposed to be made for your system | 03:51 |
| _2 | and let me learn what i missed. | 03:51 |
| bdizzle | ah, okay | 03:51 |
| _2 | when it installs kdesu ntfs-config | 03:52 |
| isaa | How can I install Kubuntu together with Ubuntu? Can I do if from a Kubuntu 8.04 CD? | 03:52 |
| _2 | bdizzle looks like this option may be needed in the ntfs lines i added. and i didn't add it... locale=en_US.utf8 | 03:53 |
| bdizzle | okay | 03:53 |
| bdizzle | add it at the end? | 03:53 |
| _2 | bdizzle other than that i don't see anything that should cause an issue. auto,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 0 >>> auto,dmask=000,fmask=111,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 03:54 |
| _2 | you can add defaults, to that if you wish. it shouldn't really change anything (unless the ntfs-3g driver is more wierd than i think it is... which is possable.) | 03:55 |
| _2 | bdizzle arrr heh. take the -3g out and see what it does. | 03:57 |
| _2 | and by the way. don't reboot to test it. | 03:57 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 03:58 |
| bdizzle | okay, so then for the file, lemme make sure I've got it right | 03:58 |
| _2 | ***NOTICE reboot is not required for hardly any system changes*** | 03:58 |
| _2 | kernel only ^ | 03:58 |
| bdizzle | kk | 03:58 |
| bdizzle | lemme pastebin it first | 03:59 |
| _2 | k | 03:59 |
| andare | i'm new us'n linux and i was woundering how can i install a theme for my desktop? | 03:59 |
| bdizzle | http://paste.ubuntu.com/30175/ | 03:59 |
| bdizzle | that doesn't quite seem right | 03:59 |
| bdizzle | andare, its kinda wierd, but go to www.kde-look.com and hunt for one you like | 03:59 |
| bdizzle | get into the repo and download the KDM theme manager (I think) | 03:59 |
| _2 | looking | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | andare, 'themes' under kde work a little differently then windows. :) a 'theme' is made from various parts.. The package manager has a great # of theme parts. that are not isntalled by default. | 04:00 |
| andare | i did that i downloaded one that i do like but how do i make sure that it does work? | 04:00 |
| _2 | heh nope. | 04:00 |
| _2 | let me ammend | 04:00 |
| bdizzle | double click on it | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | often the theme 'parts' need to be compiled. this can take a little bit of effort. Deoending on the exact theme/part. | 04:00 |
| bdizzle | go to run -> kcontrol -> Appearance & Themes -> Theme Manager | 04:00 |
| bdizzle | install from there | 04:00 |
| andare | i have tried that already | 04:01 |
| Dr_willis | !changetheme | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about changetheme | 04:01 |

| ubottu | To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy. Kubuntu themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu. Xubuntu users should /msg ubottu xfce-themes | 04:01 |
| _2 | bdizzle sorry i haxord the first one. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d4a33c142 | 04:02 |
| _2 | i have seen so many fstab lines... it's not funny anymore. and yes i do mix them up some times. | 04:03 |
| bdizzle | lol, okay | 04:03 |
| bdizzle | alright, save it and then Ctrl+Alt+Backspace ? | 04:03 |
| _2 | no | 04:04 |
| bdizzle | okay... | 04:04 |

| bdizzle | not sure | 04:06 |
| _2 | ls /media | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | typos ? | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | L( | 04:06 |
| bdizzle | okay, I see them now | 04:06 |
| _2 | Dr_willis :) | 04:07 |
| bdizzle | now will that load them when it boots though? | 04:07 |
| bdizzle | wait, it sees them from there | 04:07 |
| _2 | did it mount the "drives" ? | 04:07 |
| bdizzle | I tried change directory into them and it says No such file or directory | 04:07 |

| bdizzle | ... | 04:09 |
| bdizzle | *facepalm* | 04:09 |
| _2 | try cd /media and do the same thing over | 04:09 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 04:09 |
| bdizzle | is there a reason why they are highlighted in green? | 04:09 |
| _2 | yep full access | 04:09 |
| bdizzle | gotcha | 04:09 |
| _2 | means you can write to them | 04:09 |
| bdizzle | good | 04:09 |
| bdizzle | alright, now if I restart this session, will it still work? | 04:10 |
| _2 | yep | 04:10 |
| bdizzle | k, brb | 04:10 |
| bdizzle | okay, cool | 04:11 |
| bdizzle | that works | 04:11 |
| _2 | bdizzle i do not at any time retract the warning i gave earlier, you are in linux playing with partitions/'file systems' and you "can" lose data. be aware of that. | 04:11 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 04:11 |
| _2 | ok. enjoy. | 04:11 |
| _2 | bdizzle on and the extra space on /mnt you can chown or chmod that dir or any of it's contents it's ext3 | 04:12 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 04:13 |
| _2 | bdizzle also the "new line warning" you can edit fstab and just add a blank line at the end to fix that. | 04:13 |
| bdizzle | sweet, and extra 10 GB that I can do | 04:13 |
| bdizzle | ah, okay | 04:13 |
| Dr_willis | i always make a extra storage partition for my users mounted to like /media/Storage/ with a directory for each user owned by the user. | 04:14 |
| _2 | Dr_willis yeah. i have a world accessable area with symlinks in all homes by default | 04:14 |
| bdizzle | okay, one more strange question | 04:15 |
| bdizzle | konqueor loads almost immediately. Firefox stalls - a lot. Why is it doing it, I've never had firefox stall before | 04:16 |
| _2 | i can't answer the stall. but konq is probably a "preloaded session" there is a switch to let you keep # of konqueror sessions preloaded for instant access | 04:17 |
| bdizzle | hmm, okay | 04:17 |
| * _2 doesn't like or use ff | 04:17 | |
| bdizzle | why not, out of curiosity? | 04:18 |
| _2 | too bloated for me. i like dillo ok but it is a little too light for a gui i use elinks mostly console only | 04:18 |
| _2 | i never have liked mozilla/netscape/firefox stuff just don't like it... i don't really have to have a reason to like or dislike a thing. | 04:19 |
| Dr_willis | "I may not be able to find somthing I like.. but i can always find somthing i dislike!" | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 04:20 |
| _2 | looks may contribute, the way it functions in a given situation, maybe... the fact that i couldn't force all popups to open tabs rather than windows maybe... | 04:21 |
| _2 | Dr_willis that's introspecive :) | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | very zen :) | 04:21 |
| _2 | t | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | My wife HATES the tabs.. :) shes cant seem to understand how tabs work. | 04:22 |
| _2 | :) | 04:22 |
| _2 | it's a guy thang | 04:22 |
| di48lo | how can i get ubuntu to load emerald at boot instead of kwin? | 04:22 |
| _2 | !autostart | 04:23 |
| ubottu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 04:23 |
| _2 | a script in the autostart dir ? | 04:23 |
| Jucato | (or if you're using KDE 4.1 there's a GUI to set that... but...) | 04:23 |
| di48lo | sweet, would "emerald --replace" work? | 04:23 |
| _2 | see Jucato | 04:23 |
| Jucato | di48lo: only for the current session. | 04:24 |
| Jucato | when you reboot or logout, it won't stick | 04:24 |
| _2 | i think he meant in a script in the autostart dir | 04:24 |
| _2 | it would there would it not ? | 04:24 |
| Jucato | ah putting a script with "emerald --replace"? hm.. maybe... | 04:25 |
| Jucato | though I think there's a better command to use.. I just don't know since I don't use compiz | 04:25 |
| _2 | yeah that's my idea. | 04:25 |
| Dr_willis | emerald does not replace 'kwin' emerald is a window decorator. and it workj with compiz | 04:25 |
| di48lo | well I'll give it a try and see | 04:25 |
| _2 | Dr_willis so compiz --replace ;emrald | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | explains it. :) | 04:26 |
| _2 | syntax is probably wrong. | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | compiz --replace | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | emerals --replace | 04:26 |
| _2 | ah ok. | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | oops.. emerald --replace | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | There is that fusion-icon tool that makes it easier to change them | 04:27 |

| di48lo | I just altered the windows decorator line in the ccsm to usr/bin/emerald, and it still wouldn't work | 04:32 |
| Dr_willis | i reccomend using the fusion-icon program | 04:33 |

| bdizzle | hey, _2, question. That extra drive that we freed up, how hard would it be to convert it to ntsf format so that both windows and kubuntu can read it? | 04:37 |
| bdizzle | as right now, its not letting me write to it unless I'm root | 04:37 |
| Dr_willis | if its ext2/3 you should make a directroy on the filesystem owned by the user you want to use the space. | 04:39 |
| Dr_willis | windows can read/write ext2/3 (but i dont advise it) :) | 04:39 |
| _2 | bdizzle <bdizzle> as right now, its not letting me write to it unless I'm root <<< like i said, chown or chmod you can man both for what they do. as to the other Q there is an error in it. windows can access ext2/3 filesystems there are drivers on the web for that | 04:39 |
| Daisuke_Ido | ntfs | 04:39 |
| _2 | sorry doc didn't mean to jump in. | 04:40 |
| bdizzle | ah, okay | 04:40 |
| === root is now known as chills | ||
| bdizzle | okay, so if I'm understanding the man page right, I need chown user /u ? | 04:42 |
| _2 | bdizzle short answer to your Q is kinda long. if you convert sda1 to ntfs windows will prolly not boot correctly. and i don't do windows. | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | If theres a 'trick' to let the user read/write to the root of a ext2/3 filesystem... Im not sure what it is..:) | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | mkdir /media/Storage/billgatesextrastorage | 04:42 |
| _2 | bdizzle yes sudo chown $USER /mnt | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | sudo chown bgates /media/Storage/billgatesextrastorage :) | 04:43 |
| bdizzle | okay | 04:43 |
| _2 | bdizzle you can set perms even on / | 04:43 |
| g-unot | hello | 04:43 |
| bdizzle | right.. | 04:43 |
| g-unot | im trying to play a .mov video | 04:43 |
| g-unot | and i seems that vlc wont play it | 04:43 |
| g-unot | nor will any other video players | 04:43 |
| * Dr_willis is poping in and out of the channel all day.. chasing the grandson around.. so i may miss some of the discussion | 04:44 | |
| g-unot | ive downloaded all plugins for vlc | 04:44 |
| _2 | Dr_willis i often do sudo chmod 111 / to keep people from graphically cd'ing to / | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | _2, Hmm..never seen that done befor. | 04:44 |
| _2 | heh it's madening :))) | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | 'graphically cd'ing' ?? Hmm.. that seems... oddly phraseed | 04:44 |
| _2 | yeah but that was the best i could come up with | 04:45 |
| bdizzle | hmm, it says operation not permitted | 04:45 |
| bdizzle | oh well | 04:45 |
| _2 | i have used chmod 0001 / as well root is unaffected by permissions anyway | 04:46 |
| g-unot | totem also has no sound | 04:46 |
| _2 | bdizzle on ? paste your command | 04:46 |
| bdizzle | sudo chown bdizzle /mnt | 04:46 |
| _2 | oh yeah. you may not be able to own an fs.... i'll have to check that. but you can chmod it. | 04:47 |
| _2 | i think you can own it too | 04:47 |
| Dr_willis | i dont see how chmoding a mountpoint works.. But ive not messed with the ext2/3 mountpoints/ I do belive that for ntfs/vfat chmoding the mountpoint will not change things. | 04:48 |
| bdizzle | I don't think its a mount point, its just a regular drive now | 04:48 |
| chills | hey guys iam using cdma wirless modem to connect to the net. i want to recieve fax .. is theyere any way ? | 04:48 |
| _2 | d--x--x--x 7 greg root 4096 Dec 7 1941 home <<< >>> d--x--x--x 7 root root 4096 Dec 7 1941 home | 04:48 |
| _2 | you can own. | 04:48 |
| _2 | Dr_willis if it's mounted. and it is. you are chmoding the root of the fs like chmod 0001 / test it and see. | 04:49 |
| _2 | i.e. you are not touching the "mountpoint" as long as something is mounted there. | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | _2, but this does not apply to vfat/ntfs I belive.. | 04:50 |
| _2 | Dr_willis it's ext3 | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | I donthave a usb thub drive to test it on at this time.. heh | 04:50 |
| bdizzle | hmm | 04:51 |
| Dr_willis | now chmoding the Mountpoint BEFOR mounting. will have no effect... (correct?) | 04:51 |
| _2 | and NO from your assumption of M$ fs then no you can not chmod or shown | 04:51 |
| _2 | ok that's confusing. we type at the same time. | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | I dont see it at the same time | 04:52 |
| _2 | <Dr_willis> _2, but this does not apply to vfat/ntfs I belive.. <_2> Dr_willis it's ext3 <_2> and NO from your assumption of M$ fs then no you can not chmod or shown | 04:52 |

| _2 | wtiring i'm not lysdexic ~!\ | 04:55 |
| _2 | i guess that means he wouldn't think about it... | 05:05 |
| nuxil | hi all.. how do i figure out if my com|serial port is fried or if i just need to load modules ? | 05:05 |
| nuxil | im trying cat /dev/ttyS0 but i get no response | 05:06 |
| _2 | lshw and lsmod with the aid of a search engine like google maybe ? | 05:06 |
| _2 | ttyS0 ? com one ? | 05:07 |
| nuxil | also when i mesure on the pins on the port. its sees a/c voltages, | 05:07 |
| nuxil | it seems strange to me.. but my multimeter is not so good thouhj | 05:07 |
| nuxil | _2, yes | 05:07 |
| _2 | nuxil have an old serial mouse laying around ? | 05:07 |
| nuxil | no. but i got a old ir led which i got connected. | 05:08 |
| nuxil | _2, for lirc | 05:08 |
| _2 | od /dev/ttyS0 and send the ir a sig | 05:08 |
| nuxil | tried that | 05:09 |
| nuxil | oh,, od as in command :o i thought you meat it was odd | 05:09 |
| nuxil | hehe | 05:09 |
| nuxil | _2, cat /dev/ttyS0 or od /dev/ttyS0 dosent output anything | 05:10 |
| _2 | ok. sudo modprobe serial ;sudo modprobe ir-common and retest | 05:11 |
| nuxil | no such modules | 05:12 |
| nuxil | i got serial_core | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | weee - grandbaby is asleep... | 05:12 |
| _2 | ok maybe they changed it | 05:12 |
| _2 | and maybe Dr_willis changed him/her | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | Grandpa dont do diapers... :) | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | Now a bubble bath.. ok... | 05:13 |
| _2 | nuxil if you have bash completion enabled you can tab complete modules check modprobe ir<tab.tab> | 05:14 |
| _2 | Dr_willis | 05:14 |
| anom01y | what does it mean when I get a message when I try to print anything that says "the print file is empty and will be ignored" ? this is for a new printer I just added and let kubuntu detect and set up itself automatically | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | anom01y, you sure you are not printing 'to' a file instead of to the printer? | 05:15 |
| anom01y | well I changed it via localhost:631 to default printer (my new printer, that is) | 05:15 |
| anom01y | I will try again | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | as in the error is saying ' the file you are trying to print to has an empty name field' | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | i am just guessing.. :P | 05:15 |
| nuxil | _2, no ir module is need,, the lirc does the ir stuff. however it needs the serial port to work. | 05:16 |
| anom01y | this is the message that I get | 05:16 |
| anom01y | The print file is empty and will be ignored: | 05:16 |
| anom01y | /tmp/kde-lsemple/kdeprint_Gz8MD6i5 | 05:16 |
| _2 | nuxil and the generic serial helps it not... ;/ nuxil idk let me think on it a minute. | 05:17 |
| anom01y | nuxil: could it be that I dont have permissions to that /tmp folder ? | 05:17 |
| _2 | nuxil do you have anything that can recieve a signal from the port ??? | 05:17 |
| nuxil | only the ir led. | 05:18 |
| nuxil | err.. | 05:18 |
| _2 | nuxil ok. cat /dev/random > /dev/ttyS0 and see if it does anything | 05:19 |
| nuxil | no.. i got no device to hook up to the serial port which can recieve data | 05:19 |
| Dein | i've set up my modem in routing mode and now my internet works, but i have a red diagnostic light on my modem's adsl-link , is this normal? | 05:19 |
| _2 | nuxil and urandom is to fast you need real randome | 05:19 |
| nuxil | nothing | 05:20 |
| nuxil | i dont see anything | 05:20 |
| _2 | nuxil ok. | 05:20 |
| _2 | nuxil without any better equipment to tset with. oh wait one other thing comes to mind. is it turned off in bios ? | 05:21 |
| nuxil | no· i tripple checked the bios | 05:22 |
| _2 | i remember having an issue with that one time. linux shouldn't care but some times it does. set it to a different com port maybe | 05:22 |
| anom01y | nevermind I just had to log out then back in again | 05:22 |
| anom01y | works like a charm | 05:22 |
| nuxil | _2, i only got 1 com port on my mobo | 05:23 |
| _2 | anom01y stale lock file maybe ? | 05:23 |
| _2 | nuxil but you can adjust it's settings in bios "on good bios'ss anyway" | 05:23 |
| nuxil | i can only change the irg|add in the bios. and i tried that, whitout luck | 05:24 |
| _2 | they usually specify like set to com1 or com2 some say use e2f8 or e3f0 and so forth | 05:25 |
| _2 | nuxil ok now when you change the irq and address you move it from ttyS0 to ttyS1 or ttyS2 .... | 05:26 |
| _2 | that's what i'm talking about. | 05:26 |
| _2 | so you changed it and test all your ttyS[0-7] it won't be higher than 7 | 05:26 |
| nuxil | ic.. havent tried that.. i have only been testing ttyS0 after a change in the bios | 05:27 |
| _2 | right :) it's worth a shot | 05:27 |
| _2 | probably wont be higher than 3 but could be extended options... so 7 to be safe | 05:28 |
| === jacob_ is now known as Jabop | ||
| _2 | i remember one old, i think it was ibm bios... could have ben pheonix; anyway it specified com1 com2 com3 com4 for options not the base address | 05:31 |
| _2 | i think it was an 80286 | 05:32 |
| _2 | windows was young and i didn't know any better... | 05:33 |
| nuxil | i dosent work.. so i guess my port is fried. which is what i suspect since i can measure a/c voltage on the pins. | 05:35 |
| * _2 never stuck a multimeter to a com port. figured that a mouse was a better test device | 05:36 | |
| nuxil | 'but then again, if the port is sending data out. it would be seen as a/c voltage for the tool | 05:36 |
| nuxil | *tool->multimeter | 05:37 |
| _2 | tool -> nuxil :) | 05:37 |

| bdizzle | I'm trying to get kubuntu up on my other computer and I hate knetworkmanager, could never get it to work right. So I'm trying to put on wicd. I had the wicd .deb file along with the python-gtk2_2.6, but it claims it has other dependenes of the 2.3 | 05:45 |
| me | Linux Mint 5 by the way. They have no KDE release. | 05:45 |
| proxi | I did this command | 05:45 |
| proxi | where did it save to | 05:45 |
| bdizzle | yeah, but where can I download the .deb files to use a jump drive to download it to | 05:45 |
| proxi | I did a wget | 05:45 |
| bdizzle | right now I have no way of connecting to internet on my desktop computer | 05:45 |
| bdizzle | so I have to use flash drive to install .deb files | 05:46 |
| me | This may be cheating but I have Gnome and KDE on my box. I configure with Gnome and I'm learning to use KDE. | 05:46 |
| _2 | bdizzle you can search the package database i'll have the bot drop you a url and you can look on "http://sourceforge.net" and the python site | 05:46 |

| bdizzle | my desktop is another question | 05:48 |

| proxi | Whats suppose to happen when i run -jxf | 05:48 |
| bdizzle | yeah, I just used the Kubuntu disk on it | 05:48 |
| nuxil | proxi, look in man command | 05:49 |

| bdizzle | I've tried uninstalling and reinstaling, but to no avail | 05:49 |
| _2 | bdizzle the anything you install on the one you could copy over to the other and install there as well and apt has an option to "download only" that would prevent you cluttering up one system to get the other going | 05:50 |

| proxi | im trying to install client | 05:51 |
| bdizzle | apt has an option to download only? where? | 05:51 |
| _2 | bdizzle what i'm saying is on the networked box do something like this sudo apt-get -d install gentoo then burn the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to a disk and carry them to the other box put them in /var/cache/apt/archives and you can then sudo apt-get install gentoo on that box as if it was networked | 05:51 |
| nuxil | proxi, downloade the client binary file.. put it in your home dir | 05:51 |
| nuxil | unpack it | 05:52 |

| nuxil | extract to myts | 05:53 |
| proxi | I see setup.sh | 05:53 |
| nuxil | good | 05:53 |
| nuxil | open a cli | 05:53 |

| proxi | whats that under | 05:53 |
| nuxil | cd to that dir | 05:53 |
| _2 | also don't use enter for punct | 05:53 |

| proxi | What do i do after i CD'd the directory | 05:56 |
| _2 | !recoverfiles | 05:56 |

| _2 | soniker89 you dont compile a tar archive you compile the source coed that was probably archived as a tar file for transport | 06:03 |
| _2 | soniker89 unpack it. read the README INSTALL and any other all caps files it may contain | 06:03 |

| ubottu | soniker89: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 06:04 |
| soniker89 | how do i read the "readme install"? | 06:05 |
| _2 | with any text editor or file viewer | 06:06 |
| _2 | pick your take | 06:06 |
| soniker89 | so there is diferent ways to compile from source | 06:07 |
| _2 | depending on who built it and how much they were wiling to simplify it for you... yes | 06:08 |
| soniker89 | well, I've been trying to compile AVI-XMMS all goes fine until the ./configure | 06:10 |
| soniker89 | it says "error glib missing or someething like that | 06:10 |
| bdizzle | UGH | 06:11 |
| bdizzle | finally got wicd and all dependencies installed | 06:11 |
| bdizzle | no wits stuck at "Generating WPA configuration file" - even though its a WEP passphrase | 06:11 |
| soniker89 | good for U | 06:11 |
| _2 | ubuntu uses libc6 not glibc but maybe you can install glibc anyway ... ? | 06:12 |
| soniker89 | no I try I goes fine | 06:12 |
| bdizzle | _2, do you use knetworkmanager or wicd? | 06:12 |
| soniker89 | but when I try to compile AVI-XMMS says error glib path no found | 06:13 |
| _2 | bdizzle no | 06:13 |
| _2 | bdizzle if my wifi card was supported in the kernel i'm using i might have to experiment with it a littl but it's not so i have no need of a network manager i am the network manager here. | 06:14 |
| z0d14k | soniker89: Why are you compiling KDE4? Packages are available for Hardy for KDE4. | 06:14 |
| bdizzle | lol | 06:15 |
| bdizzle | okay... | 06:15 |
| z0d14k | soniker89: Especially if you, use the pre-compiled stuff. | 06:15 |
| soniker89 | so what i got to do! | 06:16 |
| bdizzle | yeah, definitely try to install from the repos whenever possible | 06:16 |
| soniker89 | I read the INSTRuCTIONS but that confiuse me even more | 06:17 |
| z0d14k | soniker89: sudo apt-get install kde4 | 06:18 |
| z0d14k | Done. | 06:18 |
| soniker89 | really | 06:18 |
| z0d14k | Yes. | 06:18 |
| soniker89 | and then restart | 06:18 |
| z0d14k | Just log out and back in. | 06:18 |
| soniker89 | o what else | 06:18 |
| z0d14k | That will take a while to downoad and install everything, but then KDE4 will be installed and ready to go. Log out, make sure in your session manager you choose KDE4, and you are good to go. | 06:19 |
| soniker89 | let me try it thanks 'z0d14k' | 06:19 |
| z0d14k | (session manage is alt+s I think. If not, you will see it on the login screen. | 06:19 |
| z0d14k | No, alt+s is shut down, but you will see it on your login screen somewhere. | 06:20 |
| soniker89 | it is almost finishing | 06:20 |
| soniker89 | there it want me to select kdm or kdm-kd4 | 06:22 |
| soniker89 | I selected KDE4 lates | 06:23 |
| guido | hi | 06:51 |
| _2 | guido | 06:51 |
| secludedsage | Is there any deb package of Kubuntu Installer available? I mean have a installer installed in my mobile harddisk as I could install my system on other's computer.. | 06:51 |
| guido | I installed xubuntu-desktop over a kubuntu hardy heron and since I didn't like it very much I uninstalled it but there now are some xfce shortcuts and apps in my kmenu. Any thoughts on how could I remove them? | 06:52 |
| secludedsage | apt-get autoremove? | 06:52 |
| guido | I did that, they are still there | 06:52 |
| proxi | !winrar | 06:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about winrar | 06:53 |
| proxi | !rar | 06:53 |

| secludedsage | ubiquity? Thank you very much! | 06:54 |
| guido | I have some gnome apps in my kmenu system like gnome-app-install or gnome-system-monitor. Any thoughts on how to remove all of them? | 06:55 |
| _2 | !purekde | 06:56 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 06:56 |
| _2 | guido if you don't want to remove them you can edit your menu | 06:56 |
| guido | Thanks! | 06:56 |
| _2 | !kmenuedit | 06:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kmenuedit | 06:56 |
| _2 | !info kmenuedit | 06:56 |

| z0d14k | guido: Most systems have some bleedover. Mine has a lot. It is by choice. I like a handful of gnome apps and use them regularly. There is nothing wrong with it other than they don't looks quite like they fit in..... | 06:56 |
| guido | Ahh, I see | 06:57 |
| secludedsage | _2: I don't know how powerful ubottu is... | 06:57 |
| guido | But doesn't it clutter things up? | 06:57 |
| _2 | secludedsage "it's linux!" enough said. | 06:57 |
| _2 | oh wait you said ubottu hehhe i read ubuntu | 06:58 |
| guido | Because I have the gnome app installer hanging around there and since I'm quite new to kubuntu/debian I'm afraid I might mess things up | 06:58 |
| _2 | guido just run kmenuedit and remove the things you don't want to see. note it only affects what your user sees not the system | 06:59 |
| secludedsage | guido: If you hate these things wasting your disk space, as the system is very new, just try a reinstall of the whole system... | 07:00 |
| guido | does a reinstall erases all my files and configs? | 07:01 |
| secludedsage | Yes, just try to backup all of them... | 07:01 |
| secludedsage | In fact, those files won't cost you too much disk space. Just keep use your system with all menu item cleaned and work on with it. | 07:02 |
| _2 | !purekde | once again | 07:03 |
| ubottu | once again: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 07:03 |
| _2 | !puregnome | if you are of the contrary part | 07:04 |
| ubottu | if you are of the contrary part: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 07:04 |
| guido | ok, I think I will go with the "removal of unwanted shorcuts" option then :) | 07:04 |
| guido | thanks a lot to all of you | 07:05 |
| guido | quick question: is gksu part of kde? | 07:13 |
| dubby | hey anyone is it possible to use compiz on kubuntu ? | 07:18 |
| gh | yes | 07:19 |
| _2 | !compiz | 07:19 |
| 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 | 07:19 |
| _2 | guido slow answer no. | 07:19 |
| gh | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 07:20 |
| guido | _2 thanks :) | 07:20 |
| _2 | guido anything "gtk" or some times shortened gk is gnome | 07:20 |
| _2 | and most things g.* are gnome | 07:20 |
| _2 | a few will be gnu and most will specify that. gnupg for example | 07:21 |
| guido | is there any particular reason to install/keep gksu? | 07:21 |
| _2 | not if you are getting rid of gnome | 07:21 |
| guido | ok | 07:22 |
| _2 | that question sounds like you are configuring debfoster | 07:22 |
| _2 | !gksu | guido | 07:22 |
| ubottu | guido: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:22 |
| _2 | !kdesu | guido | 07:22 |
| ubottu | guido: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:22 |
| guido | got it | 07:23 |
| _2 | as you can see one is gnomish the other is k | 07:23 |
| _2 | perhaps the vanella sudo infonode would have been better | 07:24 |
| _2 | !sudo | 07:24 |
| ubottu | 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) | 07:24 |
| guido | on a different subject, if I update my kernel to 2.6.24-20 (currently 2.6.24-19) will virtualbox still work? | 07:25 |
| * _2 is usually still talking after everyone has walked away... it goes with the age. | 07:25 | |
| _2 | guido try it and see. subversion updates install along side, so you can boot the older kernel if it doesn't work | 07:26 |
| _2 | same version patches "security updates" overwrite so that might be a place for caution but not when the subversion changes | 07:26 |
| guido | I read that after updating I should do "sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-XXX" to delete the previous kernel | 07:27 |
| guido | I am thinking.. wouldn't that remove everything from the previous version? | 07:27 |
| _2 | only after you have setteled that you want to keep the newer and remove the older or vice versa. | 07:27 |
| _2 | and yes it does remove the specified kernel completely | 07:28 |
| _2 | one generally wouldn't want to use a wildcard there sudo apt-get remove -P linux-image-* would probably take half the packages with it and would leave the system without a kernel in a default install. | 07:29 |
| guido | if I do that command, it would still ask me to check if I'm sure, right? | 07:30 |
| guido | I mean, before actually removing everything | 07:31 |
| _2 | note that is not unrecoverable ^ as long as one has working network and the system isn't halted you can still install a kernel and any needed packages.... but it's not the wisest of all moves that would have gotten you there.... | 07:31 |
| _2 | and yes it would ask and probably require you to input "Yes! do as i say" before it would continue | 07:31 |
| _2 | i have removed everything down to libc6 and still had things running and some of them usable. but it's reload time from that point | 07:33 |
| guido | so in the event that I change my mind at that point, if I say NO I wouldn't have lost anything? | 07:33 |
| _2 | correct | 07:33 |

| pag | _2, really? python seems to suck at counting: 8 / 3 seems to equal to 2... | 10:35 |
| _2 | rofl python it may not be much of a programming language, but it makes a heck of a calculator ! </ducks> | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | its fun to chew your cpu with calc apps | 10:35 |
| _2 | pag 8.0 / 3 doesn't. | 10:36 |

| _2 | sea yeah just mentioning that you can skip testing for exit codes if the reason you want to know them is to do something else conditionally also the if test works. if true ;then echo yes ;elif ! false ;then echo yes ;else echo "you'll never see this in the test" ;fi | 11:22 |

| myk_robinson | good morning. | 12:34 |
| myk_robinson | What is considered the "preferred" method for installing Firefox 3 and various plugins in Kubuntu Hardy? | 12:34 |
| myk_robinson | I ask because with eac hupdate, i have to create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins in order for my plugins to be found by firefox | 12:35 |
| myk_robinson | i assume this is not normal? | 12:35 |
| guido | myk_robinson: not really | 12:37 |
| guido | myk_robinson: did you try installing it with adept? | 12:37 |
| myk_robinson | yes. | 12:38 |
| guido | myk_robinson: what was the result of that? | 12:38 |
| myk_robinson | i installed the meta package firefox, and then installed things like mozilla-mplayer, flash-nonfreee, etc | 12:38 |
| myk_robinson | the plugins all install to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins instead of /usr/lib/firefox-3/plugins | 12:38 |
| myk_robinson | of course, when firefox updates, i now have /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/plugins, requiring me to make a new symbolic link | 12:39 |
| myk_robinson | i can do this just fine, its just annoying based on the previous kubuntu, i didnt have to do this | 12:39 |
| guido | myk_robinson: let me check how I did it way back when.. | 12:39 |
| guido | myk_robinson: that's odd, I didn't have to do that link | 12:40 |
| guido | myk_robinson: I'm sorry I wasn't much of a help here | 12:41 |
| myk_robinson | no prob, at least someone is talking to me this time :) | 12:41 |
| _2 | are dvd's all "multi-session" ? | 12:41 |
| myk_robinson | just out of curiousity, have you added any repositories for multimedia? I wonder if debian-multimedia is my problem? | 12:42 |
| guido | myk_robinson: no, plain kosher kubuntu | 12:43 |
| guido | myk_robinson: if I were you I would try going to #ubuntu.. I'm also over there and there's more people answering questions | 12:43 |

| leba | I was reading grup help page and it says something about instaling grup/linux on your first partition. | 13:27 |
| leba | That I have to map and maybe for dos do something else... | 13:27 |
| ubunturos | leba: Ideally, grub will replace the MBR of Windows, but it'll add entries to boot windows | 13:27 |
| leba | yes... I don't know why it just disapiered, maybe because I formated part 1 first. :P | 13:28 |
| ubunturos | leba: I would strongly recommend having just one instance of Windows installed, and install Kubuntu later | 13:28 |
| ubunturos | leba: and Kubuntu would have to be installed on a different partition, unless you are using Wubi | 13:29 |

| ubunturos | leba: hmm, so where all do you have Windows? (you would have to chainload them) | 13:32 |

| leba | ubunturus : did you check http://paste.ubuntu.com/30271/ ? | 14:09 |
| ubunturos | leba: GRUB may not be able to find t the right partition | 14:09 |
| leba | I am trying to change from (hd0, 5) to (hd0, 6) for example on the grub prompt. | 14:10 |
| ubunturos | leba: hmm, ok, Check if that works | 14:10 |
| leba | ubunturos : it doesn't seens to be working though :( | 14:11 |
| ubunturos | leba: may be they (windows on E: and F: ) depended on the boot records of C:\ for them to boot | 14:11 |
| ubunturos | leba: hmm | 14:11 |
| leba | yeah, that's what I am suspected of.. | 14:11 |
| leba | Maybe windows saves the boot register on C: always | 14:11 |
| leba | and If I format C again ? | 14:12 |
| ubunturos | leba: C:\ windows, would have had the boot.ini file, which lead to the menu | 14:12 |
| leba | yeah, probably.. | 14:12 |
| ubunturos | leba: if you format C, keep just one Windows, | 14:12 |
| leba | I can still find for this file in the other partitions.. | 14:12 |
| ubunturos | leba: and install Kubuntu to an unallocated space | 14:12 |
| ubunturos | leba: i.e. either delete some partition (taking backup, ofcourse, of data) | 14:13 |
| leba | ubunturos : are you sure this is the correct file ? | 14:13 |
| ubunturos | leba: menu.lst, is the one that presents the menu in front of you | 14:13 |
| leba | ubunturos : I mean the boot.ini | 14:13 |
| ubunturos | rather, grub would read that file | 14:13 |
| ubunturos | leba: boot.ini would be used by Windows to give you a boot menu, for booting the triplet :P | 14:13 |
| ubunturos | leba: when grub took-over, it recognized windows on E: and F:, but surprisingly, it is not booting foryou | 14:14 |
| leba | If I find a boot.ini in one of the other partitions, maybe I can transfer grub to that of force it to read the boot.ini file somehow.. | 14:14 |
| ubunturos | leba: that would be too much to do | 14:15 |
| leba | yeah... | 14:15 |
| leba | :( | 14:15 |
| leba | But if I lost the boot.ini file I lost windows ? | 14:16 |
| ubunturos | leba: I would suggest, having only one Windows installed | 14:16 |
| ubunturos | leba: no, not really. | 14:16 |
| leba | ubunturus, yes, I was just testing different versions, but I found out xp is the only one I am interested of. | 14:16 |
| ubunturos | leba: oh | 14:17 |
| ubunturos | leba: C:\ is usually required for one windows, at-least | 14:17 |
| leba | yes.. | 14:17 |
| ubunturos | leba: if you have multiple, you'll have the others depend on this one, since, the boot.ini of this would ideally be modified for the others to boot | 14:17 |
| leba | ubunturus : I read somewhere that I got to do something if I installed Linux on the fist partition (C:) | 14:18 |
| ubunturos | leba: ideally, you shouldn't have installed Linux on C:\; simply because, Windows loves C: | 14:18 |
| leba | ubunturus : I will keep reading the grup webpage and see if I find something cool there. | 14:18 |
| ubunturos | leba: ok | 14:18 |
| leba | ubunturus ; if you find of keep with it just let me know when you check something interesting please ;) | 14:19 |
| ubunturos | leba: sur3 | 14:19 |
| ubunturos | err. | 14:19 |
| ubunturos | leba: sure | 14:19 |
| leba | ;) ok, thank you ! | 14:19 |
| leba | hope not beeing bothering you :P | 14:20 |
| ubunturos | leba: no! ... I wonder, why isn't GRUB identifying the Windows installed on E:\ and F:\ | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | its not E: and F: | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | its hda1 and hda2 or similar | 14:21 |
| ubunturos | ActionParsnip: I know, for Windows users, E:\ and F:\ will be so | 14:21 |
| ubunturos | though | 14:22 |
| leba | maybe I need some extra parameters... | 14:22 |
| leba | when I boot from Ubuntu I got a /boot/init.img file... | 14:23 |
| ubunturos | leba: at the prompt grub>root (hd0, should give you a list of entries, stating their partition numbers and type | 14:23 |
| leba | maybe when I boot from windows I have to have a boot.ini path | 14:24 |
| leba | ubunturos : yeah, strange | 14:24 |

| leba | ActionParsnip, I used to have one windows copy on C: and I installed Kubuntu on C: | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | leba: check prosen's post http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/30040-chainloading-grub.html | 14:30 |
| leba | We were discussing about having lost the boot.ini file when I formated this partition | 14:30 |
| ubunturos_ | leba: and essentially, your C:\ got converted to /dev/sda1 | 14:31 |

| ol_dude67 | whats the easiest way to install realplayer or winamp ? | 15:10 |
| BooVeMan_work | pag: What bothers me (big time) is that the relade notes for the alph3 state that they will use .kde and not .kde4 - so no downgrade would be possible | 15:11 |
| pag | ol_dude67, there's linux version of real player. for winamp use wine ;) | 15:11 |
| BooVeMan_work | ol_dude67: use amarok | 15:12 |

| helpy | ok, after installing ubuntu literally 21 times while trying to back up my ubuntu, i have decided back up is not for me. so is there a way i can get a list of all the packages i have installed in ubuntu including the ones that came with distro to make sure i installed all packages in my new ubuntu? atleast its some sort of back up | 19:40 |
| helpy | i might be able to write a script to install all these packages if i screw up agian | 19:41 |
| Armagguedes | did it | 19:41 |

| Armagguedes | helpy, try APTonCD | 19:41 |

| helpy | Armagguedes, i have. it only installs the NEW packages | 19:42 |
| helpy | doesn't install current packages | 19:42 |

| kakaka | Simple question-is the distribution for the ps3 stable yet? if not which should i get? | 21:18 |
| see-g | no, you'd replace <wireless device> with eth0 or eth1 or wlan0 | 21:18 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | so there IS a wireless card!...? | 21:20 |

| BluesKaj | one still has a grub menu at bootup with wubi installed linux , why not just transfer to an ext partition and dual boot | 21:30 |
| Ayabara | any good sw for working with Sony Ericsson mobile phones, or should I just use Konqueror/Dolphin? | 21:30 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | so what's next? | 21:31 |
| see-g | do you know if there are any other network cards up and running? | 21:31 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | and hopefuñlly y'all might helop me install the drivers for it | 21:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | brb | 21:33 |
| see-g | ideally, yours should give you "lo" (the loopback interface - a trick to establish secure network connections to your own computer); "eth0" (I'm just guessing: the cable connection) and a third one for the wireless | 21:33 |
| see-g | good luck | 21:33 |

| ed__ | Minor annoyances, I just thought someone might have encountered them. | 21:34 |

| see-g | could someone do me a favor? When the CostaRicanQuaker comes back, could you point him to this site? http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo#CreatinganInterface | 21:46 |
| see-g | it is, as far as I can tell, where he could go on | 21:47 |
| see-g | (anyway, I never got in touch with the madwifi-thingy, Ubuntu comes with madwifi, doesn't it?) | 21:48 |
| alanx | see-g: I was talking with CostaRicanQuaker and his laptop has a wireless card intel 3945 | 21:48 |
| alanx | but the system didn't recognize that card | 21:49 |
| alanx | see-g: the command iwconfig didn't show any wireless card | 21:50 |
| see-g | his friend's laptop seems to have something atheros-based; all I could find about it was that madwifi -sometimes- supports those natively | 21:51 |
| see-g | [22:27] <CostaRicanQuaker> see-g: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: atheros communications inc AR24x 802. llabg wireless PCI Express adapter (rev 01) | 21:51 |
| see-g | that's what he gave me when I asked for lspci | grep wireless | 21:51 |
| === diego_ is now known as Dagsoft | ||
| see-g | now there's two and a half ways to go ... 1/2) it's one of those that don't work with HAL up to ... uhmm ... I don't know if Ubuntu ships with a hal that supports it or not 1) madwifi supports it natively 2) ndiswrapper works wonders on most of the rest | 21:53 |
| bdizzle | hi, I was wondering if anyone could quickly teach me how to use the equation editor in OpenOffice? | 21:58 |

| genii | firefox is pretty much the standard these days, so yes | 22:17 |
| BooVeMan_work | khurram: try it - if ity works - why complain? | 22:17 |

| khurram | hey i have got ubuntu old version cd cani install firefox from there if yes then temme how | 22:19 |
| khurram | sorry genii | 22:20 |
| genii | khurram: I REPEAT. I do NOT give assistance by private message, only public channel. Please take this as an instruction not to private message me anymore but to ask questions in this channel instead. | 22:20 |

| see-g | khurram: proper english helps others help you | 22:20 |
| khurram | soorry genni | 22:20 |
| khurram | hey i have got ubuntu old version cd cani install firefox from there if yes then temme how | 22:20 |
| genii | khurram: You should be able to install firefox only by: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install firefox | 22:21 |
| BooVeMan_work | khurram: if you can ping google (as you said) try in the konsole sudo apt-get install firefox | 22:21 |
| see-g | khurram: check if there's a firefox package in (cdrom)/pool/f/ | 22:21 |
| genii | If an older ubuntu cd, then the package MAY be called mozilla-firefox | 22:21 |
| * BooVeMan_work backs out - too many cooks | 22:21 | |
| khurram | yea i know but i m asking that can we install it from the cd | 22:21 |
| khurram | ok thankx | 22:22 |
| brmassa | crimsun_: im trying to get some help on #kdevelop. at any problem, i will return | 22:22 |
| see-g | if it is on there, you can install it by *right-clicking on the package -> install with (whatever package manager came with your installation) or *in a shell, cd to the directory where the firefox package resides and dpkg -i (name of the package).deb | 22:23 |
| khurram | thnkx see-g | 22:24 |
| khurram | my questions are very basic as i am new to linux | 22:25 |
| bdizzle | hello | 22:25 |
| khurram | i want to run exe file on linux can i do this | 22:25 |
| bdizzle | I tried going into the openoffice channel and it seems the room is not active right now (Maybe because its Friday) | 22:26 |
| bdizzle | khurram, use wine to open exe files | 22:26 |
| bdizzle | is there a guide of the symbols used in the formula editor of OpenOffice Math? | 22:26 |
| khurram | ok so i shud install in like apttitude install wine | 22:26 |
| see-g | khurram: nevermind ... just respect people's wish not to be asked a question in private (unless you were given permission to) - it's even making life easier for you since everyone can see your question and give an answer, rather than you having to rely on the person you asked in private being able and willing to help | 22:26 |
| khurram | thankyou see-g and sorry if i disturb you | 22:27 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 22:28 |
| bdizzle | sudo apt-get install wine | 22:28 |
| khurram | see-g i want to learn linux as i am new to this O.S so can u guide me what will help me to improve | 22:28 |
| see-g | that's alright ... I /ignore when I feel disturbed ;) | 22:28 |
| khurram | thnkx bdzzle | 22:28 |
| bdizzle | yeah, I've only been using it for a few months myself. There is plenty to learn in it | 22:28 |
| bdizzle | otherwise, in kubuntu, just get it out of the repositories | 22:29 |
| bdizzle | ie, Add / Remove programs | 22:29 |
| khurram | hey can any one suggest me best media player which can play all the audio extention | 22:30 |
| bdizzle | audio? | 22:30 |
| bdizzle | amarok | 22:30 |
| khurram | i have it but it not work | 22:30 |
| see-g | khurram: Lesson 1: Linux is not Windows. Can't stress that enough (no, this does not mean that Linux is better than Windows. Neither does it mean Windows is better. Linux is not Windows. Some of the knowledge you gathered in the Windows world might still be true on Linux, many things you will have to learn again...) | 22:30 |
| khurram | thanks see-g | 22:31 |
| khurram | no suitable plugins when ever i play .dat file in amrok so from where i download plugins for amarok | 22:32 |
| see-g | Lesson 2: Willingness to learn for yourself is greatly appreciated. It is perfectly fine to ask questions, but please do have a look at the documentation. Many projects set up a Wiki, others simply have a FAQ and documentation on their website, most software comes with a man page. After having a look in there, you often don't have to ask anymore :) | 22:33 |
| khurram | thankyou see-g | 22:34 |
| bdizzle | wait, how do you run .dat files in amarok? | 22:34 |
| see-g | and, one more thing before I go and meet my girl (yes, you may use Linux _and_ meet girls ;)): | 22:35 |
| bdizzle | I didn't think .dat files were audio at all | 22:35 |
| bdizzle | heh, yeah, that is a lesson on its own see-g, how do you do that one? | 22:35 |
| khurram | i want to say that any audio or .dat file | 22:35 |
| khurram | i know .dat is vedieo | 22:35 |
| khurram | video | 22:35 |
| see-g | bdizzle: I think you start by reading the Nerd Guide to Girls or something like that | 22:35 |
| see-g | no, sorry, it's the Geek Guide | 22:36 |
| bdizzle | such book exists? WHERE? | 22:36 |
| bdizzle | lol | 22:36 |
| bdizzle | khurram, try it in VLC, just as you would in windows | 22:36 |
| bdizzle | VLC is one of those nice cross-platform programs. Its good for transitioning | 22:36 |
| khurram | thanks bidzzle | 22:36 |
| see-g | bdizzle: http://www.sosuave.com/articles/geeks.htmhttp://www.sosuave.com/articles/geeks.htm | 22:36 |
| see-g | argh | 22:36 |
| see-g | sorry, got excited about that bit ;) | 22:36 |
| bdizzle | lol | 22:37 |
| see-g | it's one URL pasted twice, go figure it out ;> | 22:37 |
| khurram | see-g may i ask what do you do | 22:37 |
| see-g | khurram: right now? breathing, typing, all that stuff you usually do ;) and I'm on two months of holidays between jobs :) | 22:38 |
| see-g | and, apart from that, I'm about to leave my girl waiting | 22:39 |
| khurram | i really like the way you help me | 22:39 |

| see-g | 22/m/de | 22:40 |

| see-g | germany | 22:40 |
| khurram | ok | 22:41 |
| see-g | de is our TLD (top level-domain), I thought it might be readable here | 22:41 |
| bdizzle | quick artistic question | 22:41 |
| bdizzle | with the majority of the sections in blue, what is a good background for it? | 22:41 |
| khurram | yea i offten see .de | 22:41 |
| khurram | but i was not sure bout country | 22:42 |
| BooVeMan_work | bdizzle: youve been to #openoffice ore #openoffice.org? | 22:42 |
| bdizzle | yeah, no one is active in the room | 22:42 |
| see-g | bdizzle: a dark or a light blue? | 22:43 |
| see-g | on a dark blue, a darkish shade of orange might turn out nice | 22:44 |
| bdizzle | um, hold on | 22:44 |
| BooVeMan_work | bdizzle: strange... - unfortunately I never needed the formula editor | 22:44 |
| bdizzle | let me upload it and check it | 22:44 |
| khurram | see-g can i install windows not fromatting ma linux | 22:45 |
| bdizzle | http://www.jlab.org/~bwieland/Poster_updated.pdf | 22:45 |
| BooVeMan_work | khurram: yes they can happily live alonglside | 22:45 |
| see-g | khurram: and one last thing before I go: Check the time when you're asking a question - if the Europeans don't have an answer, try asking again in a reasonable time for the americans to be here (roughly 8-12 hours later) | 22:45 |
| bdizzle | um, the americans just got out of work | 22:45 |
| bdizzle | or at least we're supposed to be | 22:46 |
| bdizzle | on the east coast | 22:46 |
| khurram | thankyou see-g | 22:46 |
| bdizzle | khurram, its called dual-booting, and when you are new (or even used Linux for a while) and still learning, it's definitely a good idea | 22:46 |
| khurram | ur nice | 22:46 |
| bdizzle | but make sure you get a step-by-step guide so that you aren't over-writing your windows partition | 22:46 |
| bdizzle | BooVeMan_work, did you check the link? | 22:46 |
| khurram | thankx bidizzle | 22:46 |
| see-g | khurram: Windows has a habit of replacing the MBR with its own, the traditional Linux-way of dealing with this is installing Windows before Linux. If this happens not to be your case, you just need any Linux installation CD which is able to repair the GRUB | 22:47 |
| khurram | how will i repair grub | 22:48 |
| BooVeMan_work | !grup | 22:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about grup | 22:49 |

| BooVeMan_work | if its one line - pste it here | 23:19 |
| BooVeMan_work | if its multiline use pastbin | 23:19 |

| guido | nevermind, found it :) | 23:26 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: should automount | 23:26 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: and apper under /media | 23:27 |

| guido | BooVeMan_work: I want to make a disk automount on startup, how would I go around setting that up? | 23:27 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: adding an fstab line | 23:27 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: if you have the disk mounted do a cat /etc/mtab and copy teh corresponding line to /etc/fstab | 23:28 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: my god.. you are one step ahead of me.. I was about to ask you if there was a way to do something like that | 23:29 |

| ubottu | BooVeMan_work: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:30 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: so if I paste this line in my fstab the disk will be automatically mounted on boot? "/dev/sda5 /media/disk fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0" | 23:33 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: should do | 23:33 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: is there a particular reason why the other mounts there have UUID=a string of things in my fstab? | 23:34 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: you may alter the mount location if you want it to appear somewhere else | 23:34 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: should my new line have it? | 23:34 |
| BooVeMan_work | usually that are fixed disks | 23:35 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: if you can figure out your UUID.. | 23:35 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: I don't know what a UUID is, so I'm guessing I can't | 23:35 |
| BooVeMan_work | ubottu knows | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about knows | 23:36 |
| BooVeMan_work | !UUID | 23:36 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:36 |
| BooVeMan_work | ubottu: shut up | 23:37 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about shut up | 23:37 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: should I add that UUID thing? | 23:37 |
| BooVeMan_work | to make sure yes - and change the mount point - as /media/disk is fequently used for flash memories | 23:38 |
| BooVeMan_work | put it elsewhere - like /media/myotherdisk ;-) | 23:39 |
| guido | how do I change that? | 23:39 |
| guido | just write it on the fstab? | 23:39 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: yes (that folder must exist) and should be read/writable by you | 23:40 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: so... my fstab should have something like this? "UUID="B6B0FDD0B0FD96D9" TYPE="ntfs" /dev/sda5 /media/downloads fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0" | 23:42 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: or should I lose the "type" string? | 23:42 |
| BooVeMan_work | tyr first without the type - and shouldn't that be ntfs-3g | 23:43 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: or is that read noly? | 23:43 |
| guido | BooVeMan_work: it's not read only.. it's what I got from the "cat /etc/mtab" after dolphin mounted it | 23:45 |
| BooVeMan_work | guido: sorry not sure about ntfs vs ntfs-3g - haven?t seen that ts in years ;-) | 23:47 |
| BooVeMan_work | !ntfs | 23:47 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 23:47 |
| BooVeMan_work | !ntfs-3g | 23:47 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:47 |
| guido | !NTFS-3g | 23:47 |
| BooVeMan_work | right i'm out good luck | 23:48 |
