| jgold | hello | 02:09 |
| jgold | i was wondering if someone could help me with a problem | 02:10 |
| jgold | hello | 02:17 |
| jgold | i was wondering if someone could help me | 02:17 |
| guido | hi | 02:17 |
| guido | !anyone | jgold | 02:17 |
| ubottu | jgold: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 02:17 |
| jgold | i cannot seem to login as root on my comp, and i am trying to update to the latest version of kubuntu, when it asks me for the password for root | 02:18 |
| jgold | i guess what i need to do is retrieve the password for root, how do i do that | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | Hmm | 02:19 |
| jgold | *can* i do that | 02:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | did you set a root password? One normally uses sudo. and the first 'sudoers' user password | 02:19 |
| jgold | i do not remember setting a root password, maybe that is my problem? | 02:20 |
| jgold | but how would i do that? | 02:20 |
| Jucato | jgold: when it asks for administrator password, that means "your" password | 02:20 |
| guido | jgold: when you first installed kubuntu you created an user, that user had a password | 02:20 |
| guido | jgold: that's the password you should use whenever you "sudo" something | 02:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | there is no 'root' user password. :) | 02:21 |
| guido | !root |jgold | 02:21 |
| ubottu | jgold: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:21 |
| jgold | and i cannot use sudo, because i am using a graphical program to update kubuntu, and then it asks for password | 02:21 |
| guido | jgold: use your user's password there | 02:22 |
| Jucato | <jgold> i cannot seem to login as root on my comp, and i am trying to update to the latest version of kubuntu, **when it asks me for the password for root** <--- the program is using sudo/kdesu already | 02:22 |
| jgold | and i put in my password, for the only user on this system that i know of, and it would not take it | 02:23 |
| jgold | and i know that is correct, b/c i have to login to that user to do anything | 02:23 |
| guido | jgold: I know this is a dumb question, but did you have caps on at the time? | 02:23 |
| jgold | no | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis_ | try 'sudo -s' and see if you can get a root shell , as a test. | 02:24 |
| jgold | i know that i put in the password correctly, i put it in several times | 02:24 |
| jgold | hold on, i have not looked at that thread that u told me too yet | 02:24 |
| jgold | maybe that will shed some light on the situation | 02:25 |
| guido | jgold: if all else fails I think "sudo passwd" will let you set a password for root | 02:25 |
| _2 | repo Q is there any such thing as security/ multiverse ??? | 02:26 |
| Jucato | _2: nope. not even universe | 02:27 |
| _2 | there's not isn't there | 02:27 |
| _2 | ok | 02:27 |
| Jucato | remember that Ubuntu/Canonical only guarantees security updates and fixes for main and restricted. | 02:27 |
| _2 | what about updates/ multiberse ??? | 02:28 |
| greeg | hi | 02:28 |
| _2 | or universe ? | 02:28 |
| greeg | ok i configured privoxy and tor. i can browse anonymously through the tor network. but when i turn it off via the firefox tor button. im still using the tor network. | 02:28 |
| _2 | Jucato updates/ ? | 02:28 |
| Jucato | _2: same thing. though I'm not 100% sure on that -updates | 02:29 |
| jgold | hey, thx for helping me guido, i can get it now | 02:29 |
| guido | jgold: sure :) | 02:29 |
| _2 | ok. cause dapper seems to find a package list for updates but not security on both uni and multi | 02:29 |
| _2 | so i was just checking for confirmation | 02:30 |
| _2 | hmmm Jucato then why do i also some times see this from apt-get update Get:6 http://security.ubuntu.com dapper-security/multiverse Packages [8189B] | 02:33 |
| Jucato | _2: why? well there's only one reason I can think of | 02:33 |
| crimsun_ | magick. | 02:33 |
| Jucato | nah I couldn't think that :) | 02:33 |
| Jucato | reason: I could be wrong :P | 02:34 |
| guido | does anyone know of an app like ratiomaster but for linux? | 02:34 |
| _2 | see that's what confuses me. most of the time it says ign. but some times i get a get on it, and it's one of the bigest files in the update | 02:34 |
| Jucato | what's ratiomaster? | 02:34 |
| === root is now known as Guest74600 | ||
| guido | RatioMaster is an application designed for spoofing uploads on BitTorrent trackers. It connects to a tracker and behaves like a normal BitTorrent client, but without actually uploading to / downloading from other peers in the swarm. It reports to the tracker that it's uploading (or downloading or both, it's your choice) at a certain rate, thus making it useful for artificially increasing your ratio on certain sites that track a user's overall ratio (total | 02:35 |
| guido | uploaded/total downloaded). | 02:35 |

| === root is now known as Guest51216 | ||
| XJman | Anyone know how to get an embedded terminal in kubuntu? | 02:48 |
| guido | XJman: check this site http://lifehacker.com/software/linux-tip/embed-a-terminal-in-the-desktop-with-compiz-fusion-294005.php | 02:49 |

| guido | XJman: sure :) | 02:50 |
| XJman | Now this sounds stupid, but I've walked through some stuff for gnome and tried it on my kde it broke. Will this work around that? | 02:51 |
| guido | XJman: what do you mean? | 02:52 |
| XJman | I don't remember what the walkthrough was for... but it was for gnome, so I tried to work around some of the differences and it just would boot into a screwed up kde | 02:53 |

| === mario is now known as msi | ||
| soniker89 | really | 03:55 |
| XJman | The pc that is my file server will hold all of my music, movies, and install files for games, OS's, and various different software. If I'm going to also use this pc as a desktop alongside my laptop would it be bad news to try and stream the media from it? | 03:55 |
| dr_Willis | depends on the load everything is putting on it. and the network connection/speeds | 03:56 |
| dr_Willis | and the power of the pc. :) cpu/ram/ect. | 03:56 |
| XJman | I've finally gotten everything with gigabit ethernet at the moment. Its a quad core AMD 4gb ram and will be running Gentoo | 03:57 |
| soniker89 | where to install source code? | 03:57 |
| dr_Willis | XJman, I imagine it will take quite a bit of load then./ :) | 03:57 |
| dr_Willis | what source code soniker89 ? | 03:58 |
| XJman | I just want to make sure. I'm getting mixed signals. My brother who is a bit more pc savy than myself says not a chance. I'm looking for more opinions. Thanks | 03:58 |
| dr_Willis | one normally just has the source someplace, you then compile it.. the location of the source dosent matter much. | 03:58 |
| nuxil | soniker89, look in ./configure --help look at the prefix | 03:58 |
| soniker89 | why | 03:58 |
| soniker89 | ? | 03:58 |
| dr_Willis | XJman, You aint streaming like 100000+ streams are you? | 03:58 |
| dr_Willis | soniker89, you may want to be a bit more verbose and concise. | 03:59 |
| XJman | There are 4 pc's including the file server | 03:59 |
| soniker89 | Im new en kubuntu | 03:59 |
| soniker89 | ? | 03:59 |
| dr_Willis | XJman, so 4 streams at the most? highdef? or just audio ? | 03:59 |
| === msi is now known as mario | ||

| dr_Willis | Try it and see I guess.. | 04:00 |
| === mario is now known as msi | ||
| XJman | Worst that happens is a fail | 04:00 |
| dr_Willis | streaming is a ltitel different then 3 machines all trying to play files over nfs/samba also... | 04:00 |
| XJman | I mainly want to store the files there, then move them as I need to. | 04:01 |
| soniker89 | well, I just compiled VIM In Desktop | 04:01 |
| soniker89 | I have no idea how to lunch it? | 04:02 |
| dr_Willis | The #mythbuntu guys will proberly have a lot more experience in the speeds/limitations. of such setups. | 04:02 |
| dr_Willis | soniker89, if you just did a 'make' it put the compiled binaries somewhere in the source directory tree. | 04:02 |
| XJman | I'll try there, thanks | 04:02 |
| dr_Willis | once you do a 'make install' it copies binaries and support files to the system location | 04:03 |
| soniker89 | so that mean I can erace the folder in tha Desktop | 04:04 |
| soniker89 | and it still working | 04:04 |
| nuxil | yes after you installed it. unless you spesifyed the install location to your desktop | 04:05 |
| soniker89 | ok now it is install how to lunch it or make an icon luncher | 04:05 |
| nuxil | how would you normaly make a shortcut? | 04:06 |
| soniker89 | i have no idea how to make shortcuts | 04:07 |
| nuxil | dude.. edit your menus or add a shortcut. if you cant do that,, then you should go read a bit | 04:09 |
| soniker89 | nuxil where can read about it | 04:09 |
| nuxil | how about in kde docs | 04:10 |
| nuxil | or wiki.. | 04:10 |

| andare | WTF??? | 04:32 |
| soniker89 | im new too but someting | 04:32 |
| andare | I COME HERE FOR SOME HELP & NO ONE ****'N ANSWER ME WTF | 04:33 |
| techdimension | andare :: try using this in konsole : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:33 |
| andare | all i would like help with is to get my screen reslution back to where it was install of 640x840 i don't think that's too had to ask for, i think not | 04:34 |
| andare | thedimension: what does that even do??? | 04:34 |
| soniker89 | or try system setting | 04:34 |
| techdimension | it walks you though configuring the xserver again, which is where your screen resolutions are set | 04:35 |
| andare | i did & it couldn't even help me out cuz the highest screen reslution that it goes up to is 640x840 | 04:35 |
| techdimension | andare also, this is not a paid support channel. People here volunteer and will help you if they can as they can. Patience is a virtue. | 04:35 |
| andare | techdimension: i know that patience is a virtue but also i don't like it when ppl shit on me for no reason @ all | 04:36 |
| greeg | what does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do ? | 04:36 |
| andare | techdimension: i'm srry if i'm gett'n some ppl mad but i am a noob when it comes with linux that's why i'm try'n to stay away from windows and go to linux all the way | 04:37 |
| andare | Techdimension:ppl have told me that i have to learn for myself well i don't know much about computer's besides on to use them & i really do like to use linux cuz i know that's it's a hell of alot more scure than windows is any day of the week | 04:39 |
| techdimension | andare : I was trying to give you a tip. In most cases within the linux community, impatience and hastiness is often ignored | 04:39 |
| andare | Techdimension: i do understand that & i'm srry i'll do whatever i can on NOT piss'n ppl off from now, i promise. | 04:40 |
| nuxil | techdimension, you could not have said that better ;) | 04:40 |
| techdimension | thanks nuxil | 04:40 |
| techdimension | andare : back to the problem at hand... | 04:41 |
| techdimension | andare : if you use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it will walk you though configuring your keyboard, monitor, video card, and mouse. When it asks what resolutions to use, select the one that's right for your computer | 04:42 |
| andare | techdimension: ok it's like this when i did start up my computer it went from regualer screen reslution to 640x840 how do i put it back to the same reslution that it was when i frist installed Kubuntu??? | 04:42 |
| nuxil | andare, whats regular resolution? | 04:43 |
| andare | i think it was like 1240 someth'n | 04:44 |
| nuxil | andare, if you got nvidia card. you can use nvidia settings, which would be the easyest way. | 04:44 |
| nuxil | and other metodes are to edit your xorg.conf file .. there are prob 10 ways to change the screen resolution,. | 04:45 |
| andare | nuxil: i have tried that but the thing is that my computer was make for win2000 and my graphics card is nvidia tnt2 | 04:45 |
| nuxil | you must run it with kdesu .. also check the module you are running. hopefylly its not vesa :p | 04:46 |
| techdimension | sorry, I have to go | 04:47 |
| techdimension | goodnight | 04:47 |
| nuxil | good night | 04:47 |

| andare | nuxil: i have got my screen reslution back from 640x840 to 1280x960 | 05:16 |
| andare | nuxil: :-D | 05:17 |
| nuxil | see. it was not that hard :) | 05:18 |
| andare | nuxil: yeah i guess it was'n that hard :-) | 05:18 |
| andare | nuxil: i would like to know how to put avi file to a dvd so i can watch it onto my home dvd player's? | 05:19 |
| andare | nuxil: i know that windows as lot's of programs for that but i do NOT want windows i WANT LINUX from now on :-D | 05:20 |
| dlee | does anyone know if bluray players work on kubuntu? | 05:20 |
| nuxil | andare, you mean. convert the files ? | 05:20 |
| nuxil | andare, if you need to convert the files. you can loot into menucoder | tanscoder. if you just want o burn dvd, install k3b | 05:20 |
| andare | nuxil: yes convert files | 05:21 |
| andare | nuxil: i already have k3B | 05:21 |
| andare | nuxil: where can i find menucoder | tanscoder so i can put them to a dvd? | 05:22 |
| nuxil | if you need to enable some repos to fetch (g)transcoder.. look at the wiki again :) | 05:22 |
| nuxil | andare, multiverse or in universe.. use adept | 05:23 |
| andare | nuxil: got it, aka already there ;-) | 05:23 |
| nuxil | andare, there is also dvdshrink but i dont know if it convert avi's | 05:25 |
| andare | nuxil: yeah i have tried dvdshrink but i never really got it to work on linux | 05:25 |
| tomahasamoot | Is there a way to get Dolphin to open a directory in preview mode? (just one directory... not all of them) | 05:25 |
| nuxil | andare, i just know about it.. never used it. | 05:26 |
| andare | nuxil: it's kool | 05:26 |
| leo | helo everyone!... Is there a way I can get rid of Dolphin in JDE? | 05:27 |
| nuxil | tomahasamoot, hehe you use that crap :p konqueror forever ;p | 05:27 |
| leo | opps sorry, KDE. | 05:27 |
| tomahasamoot | nuxil: does konqueror have split view? | 05:28 |
| nuxil | leo, yes you can use konqueror as default fm | 05:29 |
| nuxil | yes you can have split view in konqeror | 05:29 |
| nuxil | same as in krusader | 05:29 |
| leo | nuxil, where can i configure it., thx :) | 05:30 |
| nuxil | leo, well,, i installed konqueror and uninstalled dolphin.. | 05:31 |
| nuxil | i uninstalled it bc i hate it.. but if you remove it,, be sure it dosent remove your kde,, | 05:31 |
| leo | nuxil.... :0 ok.. got it... thx again. | 05:32 |
| leo | in comparison I like KDE 3.5.9, with KDE4 do you think it's ok to upgrade, does it really have big advantage. | 05:33 |
| nuxil | leo, maybe you can change it in systemsetting.. i never checked there because i wanted it gone forever, its one of the worst things i have had installed on my pc ;p | 05:33 |
| leo | nuxil, thx.. | 05:34 |
| BooVeMan | leo: kde4 as in 4.0.x is a once try and back to kde3 - haven't tried 4.1 though | 05:44 |
| tomahasamoot | nuxil: Okay, I've poked around with Konqueror, and I see your point... it'll take awhile to get used to, tho | 05:46 |
| tomahasamoot | nuxil: how do I set it to be the default file manager? | 05:47 |
| nuxil | tomahasamoot, i can not say.. first thing i did after installing kubuntu was to remove dolphin,. and installed konqueror instaed,, | 05:48 |
| nuxil | tomahasamoot, look in system settings. | 05:48 |
| === mozart is now known as Guest79189 | ||
| tomahasamoot | nuxil: I don't see it in System Settings | 05:50 |
| Guest79189 | hi | 05:50 |
| nuxil | tomahasamoot, not sure then.. look in dolphin settings or konqueror settings.. | 05:53 |
| BooVeMan | tomahasamoot: I think its in update-alternatives --config <something> | 05:54 |
| Jucato | !d3lphin | tomahasamoot | 05:58 |
| ubottu | tomahasamoot: 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. | 05:58 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: thanks | 06:01 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: why was it changed to Dolphin? | 06:01 |
| Jucato | tomahasamoot: in preparation for KDE 4. but the version of Dolphin there is 100 times better than the Dolphin in KDE 3 | 06:02 |
| BooVeMan | tomahasamoot: simpler - more user freindly for beginners | 06:02 |
| * Jucato is *not* exaggerating that | 06:02 | |
| Jucato | BooVeMan: that's the rationale for Dolphin itself. but the reason for using an unmaintained version of Dolphin for KDE 3 (D3lphin) was the one I gave above :) | 06:03 |
| Jucato | it was supposed to help "prepare" Kubuntu users to a new file manager (but it really doesn't achieve that in the long run...) | 06:03 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: it was set to Dolphin KDE4, but the about says it's 3.5.9 | 06:04 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: I'm guessing that it will be better than the over hyped Konq. tho. Guess I'll have to wait to see it. Any idea when KDE4 will be usable? The "release" is an alpha | 06:06 |
| BooVeMan | Jucato: I use both of them alongside - no real preference - mounting and unmounting seems to be more reliable in dolphin | 06:06 |
| Jucato | tomahasamoot: if you were using Dolphin (KDE 4), then there's an option in Settings -> View Modes to "Remember view properties for each folder". It would remember your view settings for that particular folder you want. and it would leave the others as long as you don't touch their view settings | 06:07 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: thanks :-) | 06:07 |
| BooVeMan | tomahasamoot: I recon that for intrepid there will be a kde4.1 verson included - before that I wouldn't recommend kde 4 pro productive worrk | 06:08 |
| * Jucato has been using 4.1 since march or april... | 06:09 | |
| Jucato | tomahasamoot: "when KDE will be usable?" <-- that entirely depends on what you consider to be "usable". You'll discover soon enough that "usable" is as subjective as "beautiful" | 06:10 |
| tomahasamoot | BooVeMan: thanks :-) I wish they'd have waited till it was stable before releasing it tho, as they loose crediblity... | 06:11 |
| Jucato | tomahasamoot: KDE doesn't make releases like Windows (single "stable" "complete" release, and just service packs in between) | 06:12 |
| Jucato | the closest analogy to a release system would be Mac OS X. (10.0 sucked, 10.1 sucked less, 10.2 started getting better, etc etc) | 06:12 |
| Jucato | you might want to read http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20080710131440951 | 06:13 |
| Jucato | (btw, it *is* "stable"... but strangely enough, people's definition of "stable" seems to be synonymous to "feature complete" or "absolutely finished") | 06:14 |
| BooVeMan | tomahasamoot: I don't think it wasn't that unstable - just not finished and polished | 06:14 |
| * BooVeMan *grumbel* Jucato beat me - again | 06:14 | |
| Jucato | :P | 06:14 |
| Jucato | and I typed more than you :P | 06:14 |
| BooVeMan | Jucato: native english speaker? | 06:15 |
| Jucato | ESL | 06:15 |
| Jucato | English as Second Language :) | 06:15 |
| tomahasamoot | to me, "stable" means that the included features work, not that it has every feature you want ('cause you'll aways want more) | 06:15 |
| Jucato | tomahasamoot: see? that's not the true meaning of "stable". :) | 06:16 |
| BooVeMan | tomahasamoot: the features included in kde4.0 worked - there weren't may though | 06:16 |
| Jucato | "stable" means "does what it's supposed or advertised to do with no or little serious bugs or crashes | 06:16 |
| Jucato | and 4.0 was *never* advertised to have all the promised features of KDE 4 | 06:17 |
| BooVeMan | Jucato: ESL - as well - but living in a spanish speaking country (STL) | 06:17 |
| tomahasamoot | they didn't work. It was a buggy mess. | 06:17 |
| tomahasamoot | I couldn't even log in half the time | 06:20 |
| * Jucato hasn't had stability issues with 4.0.. only feature issues | 06:20 | |
| nuxil | i feel like a crash test dummy when i run kde4 | 06:21 |
| * BooVeMan only tested kde4 in a vm... | 06:21 | |
| Jucato | nuxil: I hope you weren't running the pre-release versions of 4.1, because they are, well, pre-release | 06:22 |
| Jucato | oh, and there's a #kubuntu-kde4 channel for KDE 4 help | 06:22 |
| nuxil | Jucato, i got time to wait some year(s) on kde4.. i got what i need and want in kde3 | 06:23 |
| nuxil | what i mean,, i can wait for kde4 to become more useble | 06:25 |
| DarkriftX | how do i install java via apt? i cant figure out the name of the package | 06:26 |
| Jucato | !info sun-java6-bin | 06:26 |
| DarkriftX | No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system. | 06:26 |

| Jucato | that's it already. run "sudo update-alternatives ---config java" and choose the sun version | 06:28 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: Okay, I see the point on Groklaw, about it being a Devolper release... but the they should have called it that. KDE 4.0 SDK *** Not For End Users *** | 06:29 |
| Jucato | tomahasamoot: they did (except the SDK part) | 06:30 |
| Jucato | people just don't like to listen... | 06:30 |
| DarkriftX | No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system. The version of the JVM must be at least 1.6. Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM. | 06:34 |
| DarkriftX | You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/darkrift/.install4j | 06:34 |
| tomahasamoot | Jucato: you may be right... I was getting it second hand tho Kubuntu, and they may have dropped the ball. But they've corrected it now. | 06:34 |
| DarkriftX | anyone got any ideas? | 06:34 |
| DarkriftX | ive done what 4 ubuntu threads said and installed some other crap, didnt work, tried your idea Jucato, still says same thing | 06:35 |

| carib909 | Jucato can you look at that pastebin and help me solve this issue please? | 09:25 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 you broke your sudoers < ummmm ! > i'm gonna tell. | 09:25 |
| carib909 | Thanks bob... how do I fix? | 09:25 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 do you have a root shell ? | 09:25 |
| carib909 | I do | 09:25 |
| Agent_bob | visudo and fix it | 09:26 |
| Agent_bob | you can pastebin the content of /etc/sudoers if you want, i might be able to see what's awax'd | 09:26 |
| carib909 | I am not sure I have vi and not sure how to fix | 09:26 |
| Agent_bob | no | 09:26 |
| Agent_bob | visudo | 09:26 |
| Agent_bob | if you have sudo you have visudo | 09:27 |
| Agent_bob | just try it in the root shell | 09:27 |
| * Agent_bob mentions a shortcut at trouble shooting. open visudo and close it. it will tell you where the "first" error is. | 09:28 | |
| carib909 | Won't let me get root shell | 09:28 |
| Agent_bob | i asked if you had one ! | 09:28 |
| Agent_bob | <Agent_bob> carib909 do you have a root shell ? <<< not can you get.... ><carib909> I do <<< jyou must not have. | 09:29 |
| carib909 | sudo su gives http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30512/ | 09:29 |

| administrator_ | wat are you doing ? | 09:30 |
| administrator_ | cena | 09:30 |
| carib909 | Sorry, I thought I had root shell, but I don't | 09:30 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 you'll have to get into root to fix it. | 09:30 |
| pag | carib909, yup. of course it does – you are not able to use sudo at all. 'su' would work on most distros, but not on *buntu :( | 09:30 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 that probably means a reboot. | 09:30 |
| pag | carib909, boot your computer and login into recovery mode – that'll give you root-acces | 09:31 |
| carib909 | What do I do when I reboot? | 09:31 |
| carib909 | After I gt root access? | 09:31 |
| pag | carib909, 'visudo' and look for errors | 09:31 |
| Agent_bob | use visudo and fix your mistakes... | 09:31 |
| Agent_bob | pag did you catch my HINT ^ | 09:31 |
| * Agent_bob mentions a shortcut at trouble shooting. open visudo and close it. it will tell you where the "first" error is. | 09:32 | |
| Agent_bob | that hint ^ | 09:32 |
| carib909 | LOL I don't know what the errors are or what the lines should be. Can you paste yours for me please? | 09:32 |

| Hoora | installing cfv, let's see if it will do tha thing... | 10:05 |
| guido_ | anyone know how can I give a user permission to shutdown the computer? | 10:06 |
| nuxil | guido_, what you mean? in kdm all users can turn off the pc. | 10:08 |
| Hoora | ok, cfv did the thing... having a little monologue here ;) | 10:08 |
| nuxil | guido_, are you talking remote ? | 10:08 |
| carib909 | Anyone know how to edit dudoers file from visudo? | 10:08 |
| carib909 | sudoers | 10:08 |
| guido_ | nuxil: for some reason my only user has lost that ability | 10:08 |
| === administrator_ is now known as administrator__ | ||
| nuxil | carib909, man sudoers | 10:09 |
| Agent_bob | guido_ normally only root has permission to shut down or reboot note that [g,k,x]dm run as root | 10:09 |
| guido_ | when I try to shutdown from the kmenu I only get the option to close session | 10:09 |
| carib909 | I am in root. I don't know vi at all. Type man sudoers? | 10:10 |
| * Agent_bob has edited the dodoers file a time or two. but thinks it futile to try to explain it. "run the command sudoers and exit. then read the error message it posts, and edit the line it tells you too..." | 10:10 | |
| nuxil | carib909, in konsole . type man sudoers | 10:10 |
| Agent_bob | err command visudo | 10:11 |
| guido_ | brb, I'm gonna see if it worked | 10:11 |
| Agent_bob | dodoers :))) too funny | 10:12 |
| carib909 | no access to root shell so I had to reboot into recovery and go to root shell. I typed man sudoers and got a description of what sudoers file contains | 10:12 |
| nuxil | read it | 10:13 |
| * Agent_bob has edited the dodoers file a time or two. but thinks it futile to try to explain it. "run the command visudo and exit. then read the error message it posts, and edit the line it tells you too..." at the expense of repeting me'self | 10:14 | |
| Agent_bob | the entire purpose of "visudo" is to syntax test the file before it lets you quit... | 10:15 |
| nuxil | Agent_bob, If all you want is . not to type password after sudo all the time,, i think you put something like YourUser ALL = (ALL) ALL | 10:17 |
| Agent_bob | nuxil no. | 10:19 |
| Agent_bob | nuxil you are probably looking for the NOPASSWD key word | 10:19 |
| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| Agent_bob | ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL | 10:20 |
| nuxil | yes ,, something like that ;) | 10:20 |
| Agent_bob | ^ makes root jr out of everyone. | 10:20 |
| Agent_bob | of course that makes a linux box about as secure as a windows box too | 10:21 |
| Agent_bob | :))) | 10:21 |
| nuxil | would %* ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL be all gouped then ? | 10:21 |
| nuxil | *groups | 10:22 |
| Agent_bob | note* i did say "about" not "entirely" | 10:22 |
| Agent_bob | nuxil yes same thing in a different language | 10:22 |
| Agent_bob | ALL == ALL == .* | 10:23 |
| simi | hi i compiled a kernel using a howto from a book(using debian kernel tools), the problem is that i am missing a initr image , i do not know how to create a corect image for debian systems | 10:24 |
| nuxil | simi, you dont need it | 10:24 |
| simi | nuxil: i need it, thx anyway found answer in 3ubuntu | 10:25 |
| nuxil | simi, copy you bzImage to /boot/yourlinuz and cp System.map /boot then edit your grub config | 10:25 |
| Agent_bob | simi if you want to use an initramfs/initrd image you run the respective command mkinitr* <new_imagefile> <version> | 10:26 |
| nuxil | simi, why do you need it ? | 10:26 |
| Agent_bob | nuxil he may not have drivers builtin to support booting without an initramfs imeag | 10:26 |
| simi | nuxil: because i get a kernel panic, can't mount root partition | 10:27 |
| simi | something like that | 10:28 |
| carib909 | Ok agent bob I typed visudo and I get this message http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30518/ cannot quit. When I type quit , a recording message pops up below. | 10:28 |
| Agent_bob | simi note* unless you are building a portable kernel. i fine it faster and easier to build in the needed drivers and not use an initramfs | 10:28 |
| nuxil | simi, thats cos you forgot some modules or to include some sata or ide drivers | 10:28 |
| simi | nuxil: i tried many configuration that do not worked, and this time i just added things and remove nothing to the standard config, i will create that image with a command | 10:30 |
| nuxil | simi, also check your grub, if it used uuid, it might have changed. or the grub is trying to use sdX instead of hdX.. | 10:30 |
| Agent_bob | grub doesn't use block addressing nuxil | 10:32 |
| Agent_bob | (hd0) is (hd0) | 10:32 |
| nuxil | simi, forexample.. kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-386 root=UUID=b35f7a5f-c32a-4f63-b2f5-7f7d9599132e ro quiet splash works fine,, but if i use the same uuid on my custom kernel. it wount boot, | 10:32 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 so you forced an exit of visudo so rm the tmp file and try again. | 10:33 |
| carib909 | how do you exit ? | 10:33 |
| simi | nuxil: found this command update-initramfs but i must read more about it, all the other kernels have an initrd image | 10:33 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 it kinda depends on what editor your default editor is | 10:34 |
| carib909 | cntrl z is only cmd that seems to work | 10:34 |
| carib909 | I am in visudo | 10:34 |
| nuxil | simi, you are just making it harder by making a iniramfs. | 10:34 |
| Agent_bob | ctrl+z doesnt even exit | 10:34 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 yes visudo no what editor is it ? | 10:35 |
| carib909 | u said type visudo and exit, how do I exit? | 10:35 |
| nuxil | hehe | 10:35 |
| Agent_bob | is it nano vim emacs me -e ???? | 10:35 |
| Agent_bob | pico ? | 10:35 |
| carib909 | How do I become aware of what editor it is? | 10:35 |
| Agent_bob | that bad huh ? | 10:35 |
| nuxil | good god | 10:36 |
| Agent_bob | look at the bottom line and tell me what you see | 10:36 |
| simi | nuxil: but what can i do, i compiled the scsi into kernel and ext3 | 10:36 |
| Agent_bob | also look at the top line and see if it gives a clue as to which editor it might be | 10:36 |
| Agent_bob | simi partition support "assuming you use partitions" | 10:37 |
| Agent_bob | simi and also is it a true scsi interface or are you emulating | 10:37 |
| carib909 | Bottom line says # Members of the Admin group may gain root privileges ^M %Admin ALL=(ALL) ALL^M | 10:38 |
| simi | Agent_bob: i have scsi drive on my laptop | 10:38 |
| simi | and the default kernels have initrd images | 10:39 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 you are looking at the bottom line of the screen and not the bottom line of the file correct ? | 10:39 |
| Agent_bob | simi your kernel is not default | 10:39 |
| simi | How can i get the kernel name , at the compiled kernel, is the name of the deb? | 10:39 |
| carib909 | I typed visudo and i got a bunch of text. I cannot exit? I don't know what editor it is. What does visudo do? | 10:40 |
| Agent_bob | sorry that didn't proccess correctly ? do what simi ? | 10:40 |
| nuxil | simi, xconfig -> Device Drivers -> ATA | SCSI |Seriel ATA look in there,, and tell us what modules you have selected | 10:40 |
| simi | Agent_bob: i have other 2 kernels made by ubuntu and this one i made, in /boot i have only for ubuntu made initrd images, my kernel does not have that image | 10:40 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 is the bottom line : | 10:40 |
| Agent_bob | ??? | 10:40 |
| carib909 | The bottm line is what I just posted | 10:40 |
| carib909 | Bottom line says # Members of the Admin group may gain root privileges ^M %Admin ALL=(ALL) ALL^M | 10:41 |
| Agent_bob | simi yeah and ? you don't need an initramfs "if" you have all the nesseccary drivers compiled into the kernel "not as modules" | 10:41 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 ok. does the top line say anything useful ? | 10:42 |
| carib909 | top line says # /etc/sudoers^M | 10:42 |
| Agent_bob | i have no idea what editor he is using. it's not vi/vim it's not nano/pico the bottom line would reviel those four | 10:42 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 press f1 | 10:43 |
| Agent_bob | does it five a help screen ? | 10:43 |
| carib909 | 2nd line says # This file must be edited with the 'visudo' command as root ^M | 10:43 |
| ailing | !ati | 10:44 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:44 |
| * Jucato suggests posting a screenshot if he can.... | 10:44 | |
| nuxil | sudo | 10:44 |
| Agent_bob | that's inside the file it's self. so far everything you have mentioned is within the sudoers file. and i don't recall any editor that displays nothing but what you are editing | 10:45 |
| carib909 | after F1 For VIM 6.4 Last change:2004 Aug 29 | 10:45 |
| carib909 | The Vim help file is not installed on this Debian GNU/Linux System | 10:45 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 then you must have lied about the bottom line "probably not on purpose tho" anyway press the [ins] key to enter insert mode | 10:46 |
| Jucato | Agent_bob: I think he interpreted your "bottom line" as the "bottom line *of the text*" | 10:46 |
| Agent_bob | you can then use the dirrectional keys to move and the normal keys to edit | 10:47 |
| nuxil | give him kate to edit in :p | 10:47 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato i was very specific earlier | 10:47 |
| carib909 | How do I get out of this Help screen? | 10:47 |
| Agent_bob | nuxil but it wont syntax test and that's what he needs the most | 10:48 |
| carib909 | Lied? I told you exactly what you asked me to tell you???? | 10:48 |
| Agent_bob | you press [esc] then : | 10:48 |
| carib909 | ok pressed INS | 10:49 |
| Agent_bob | and you can edit/ fix your mistake. then [esc] :wq! | 10:50 |
| carib909 | I have no clue what a mistake is or how to eidt it. What am I looking for? | 10:51 |
| Agent_bob | if there are more mistakes it will loop and give you the opertunity to fix them. | 10:51 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 bad syntax. | 10:51 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 if you don't know which line [esc] :wq! | 10:51 |
| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| Agent_bob | and it will tell you. | 10:51 |
| carib909 | I am green at this! I don't know good from bad syntax. I don't see anything to edit. | 10:52 |
| Agent_bob | i know. just use the command i gave and read what it says | 10:52 |
| Agent_bob | [esc] :wq! | 10:52 |
| Agent_bob | [esc] means press the escape key | 10:52 |
| carib909 | wq1 BRINGS ME BACK TO THE SCREEN WITH # /ETC/SUDOERS | 10:54 |
| carib909 | oops sorry for shouting there | 10:54 |
| Agent_bob | show me the exact command you used to edit the file please | 10:54 |
| carib909 | visudo | 10:55 |
| Agent_bob | and when you exited it didn't say any syntax error ? | 10:55 |
| carib909 | I cannot exit! I can press cntrl Z and it exists... | 10:55 |
| carib909 | I don't know another way to exit. | 10:56 |
| ailing | sometimes synaptic hangs at the end of upgrading/installing packages -- have anyone else experienced this? | 10:56 |
| Agent_bob | my lord. DON'T BACK GROUND THE EDITOR. | 10:56 |
| Agent_bob | type fg | 10:56 |
| Agent_bob | to resume. | 10:56 |
| carib909 | typing fg causes a beep. nothing types or happens. | 10:57 |
| nuxil | ailing, adept aswell ? | 10:57 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 listen. control Z does NOT exit. it puts the process in the background and lets you use the shell but the editor is still running in the backgroud | 10:57 |
| ailing | nuxil: adept just plain crashes (probably a bad repo package in intrepid), however apt-get in console works fine | 10:58 |
| carib909 | whtat iuok I am still at the screen. I did not cntrl z this time... I do not know how to exit. any clues? | 10:58 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 [esc] :wq! | 10:58 |
| Agent_bob | type that | 10:59 |
| carib909 | does nothing but cause a beep | 10:59 |
| Agent_bob | i'll repete [esc] means press the excape key. | 10:59 |
| carib909 | ok now I am out with syntax errors | 10:59 |
| carib909 | syntax in line 10,11,12,15,17,19,21,22,24,25 | 11:00 |
| Agent_bob | look close at what line and go back in like it sujests | 11:00 |
| Agent_bob | ah bad mark up most likely | 11:01 |
| carib909 | "What now" options are Edit sudoers file again exit W/O saving changes Quit and save changes to sudoers file (DANGER) | 11:01 |
| Agent_bob | may i sujest you go to each line end and delete then hit enter | 11:01 |
| Agent_bob | edit by all means | 11:01 |
| carib909 | Please guide me exactly how to do that. | 11:02 |
| carib909 | What now? | 11:02 |
| Agent_bob | are you back in the editor ? | 11:02 |
| carib909 | I selected e to edit file again | 11:02 |
| Agent_bob | ok [ins] | 11:03 |
| carib909 | press enter or type a command to continue | 11:03 |
| carib909 | What command edits the file? | 11:03 |
| nuxil | ailing, my adept is slow as a turtle sometimes. does it complain about some paks ? you can try running sudo dpkg --configure -a to see if it fixes issues,, also try a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to see if it helps. | 11:04 |
| engineer | carib909 nano? | 11:04 |
| carib909 | I hit INS | 11:04 |
| engineer | nuxil sudo aptitude install synaptic | 11:04 |
| Agent_bob | engineer vim | 11:04 |
| engineer | sorry, i hate vim | 11:04 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 move down to line 10 | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | the dirrectional arrows keys | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | hit [end] | 11:05 |
| carib909 | Del key not deleting. There are some blank lines I suppose I need to delete? | 11:06 |
| engineer | in nano, ctrl+k | 11:06 |
| Agent_bob | then hit [del] #note if it removes the last char from the line type it back and hit [enter] | 11:06 |
| engineer | to delete lines | 11:06 |
| Agent_bob | you need to remove the linux markup from the file i wonder if i couldn't do that externally..... | 11:07 |
| ailing | nuxil: tried all that -- adept crashes on launch actually, so i won´t know if it´s slow | 11:07 |
| engineer | juse use: kdesu kate <filename> | 11:08 |
| Agent_bob | to delete a whole line you can use command mode [esc] :d[enter] | 11:08 |
| engineer | nuxil consider using synaptic | 11:08 |
| engineer | ailing same to you | 11:08 |
| Agent_bob | engineer who was that for ? | 11:08 |
| nuxil | engineer, no not really. i manage with apt and adept | 11:08 |
| Agent_bob | " <engineer> juse use: kdesu kate <filename> " ??? | 11:09 |
| engineer | to edit the file? | 11:09 |
| nuxil | sudoers | 11:09 |
| engineer | much easier | 11:09 |
| engineer | graphically | 11:09 |
| Agent_bob | engeneer what file ? | 11:09 |
| engineer | (11:03:58) (carib909) What command edits the file? | 11:09 |
| ailing | engineer: actually i was just talking about a possible bug in synaptic, where at the end of installing/upgrading a package, it just hangs | 11:10 |
| Agent_bob | engineer so you are advising him to use kdesu which cant work and kate on the sudoers file ? | 11:10 |
| engineer | never experienced that | 11:10 |
| engineer | thats the way you can edit a root file graphically | 11:10 |
| engineer | why | 11:10 |
| engineer | for me synaptic has always been more stable than adept | 11:11 |
| carib909 | I deleted the ^M at the end and cannot seem to add it back | 11:11 |
| Agent_bob | engineer if you can walk him through that. i will most gladly be silent and learn something. | 11:11 |
| Jucato | engineer: the sudoers file should not be edited manually unless you really really know what you're doing | 11:11 |
| engineer | in fact, the thing you just said happened to me in adept | 11:11 |
| ailing | engineer: i wish i knew why :) | 11:11 |
| Jucato | by "manually" I mean "editor <file>" | 11:11 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 good. you don't want it back. | 11:11 |
| simi | I created the initrd image and the kernel boot up, but the network card is not working inspite i do not remove any module | 11:11 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 that is the problem to begin with. | 11:12 |
| Jucato | visudo is the recommended way to edit the sudoers file | 11:12 |
| engineer | i didn't know it was that file, sorry :) | 11:12 |
| carib909 | I did what you said, del and if it removes it add it back. I cannot add back THAT ^M | 11:12 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato any clue why it is using vim tho ? | 11:13 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato isn't nano still default ? | 11:13 |
| Jucato | Agent_bob: it should be afaik | 11:13 |
| simi | where i can find the text that scroles up when booting? the /var/log/boot is empty? i must enable liging? i want to see what is started and what i can remove, time stamp would be nice | 11:13 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 the ^M is the carrage return from ms dos you don't want them in that file at all. get rid of every one of them | 11:14 |
| carib909 | ok | 11:14 |
| nuxil | simi dmesg | 11:15 |
| Agent_bob | i mentioned that that many lines with syntax errors was provavly "bad markup" | 11:15 |
| Agent_bob | markup is a referance to the line end chars of a given operating system | 11:16 |
| Agent_bob | or other intrepted chars within a text file | 11:16 |
| carib909 | Ok I deleted all carriage returns. I have some blank lines I cannot delte. How do I delete blank lines and then how to exit to save changes? | 11:16 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 [esc] :wq! | 11:17 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 any more errors ?\ | 11:18 |
| carib909 | ok done but blank lines still there no errors showing | 11:18 |

| carib909 | it typed boo | 11:19 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 you have fixed it. reboot | 11:19 |
| carib909 | WOW! Whew! here we go Thanks a million. I hope it works | 11:19 |

| carib909 | shoot! | 11:27 |
| Agent_bob | carib909 if you mean key bounce, i don't know oc anything. if you mean the delay timing kcontrol should let you set that. | 11:28 |

| Agent_bob | carib909 also if you had paid attention. i did tell you how to delete empty lines when you asked. but don't bother now. they wont hurt anything :) | 11:32 |
| carib909 | ok thanks | 11:32 |
| carib909 | I tried to delete empty lines but they would not go way. Like DOS editors, when you hit del they go away and the line drops down, but that would not work for me. It seems all is ok. Adept would not start but synaptic did. | 11:33 |

| frozty_sa|laptop | hopefully less noise here than I'd have in #ubuntu. I'm having an issue on my desktop box at the moment. after an update which obviously updated my xorg nvidia driver (the issue pertains to both proprietary and open), my desktop keeps on sizing down to something which seems to 640x480. the login screen is at the maximum resolution my monitor can handle (1440x900), but as soon as I log in it sizes down | 15:12 |
| nonewmsgs | does it happen with both k and gnome? | 15:12 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | can anyone maybe advise me as to what I can do to get X into a "fresh" state so it'll autodetect the values correctly? | 15:12 |
| nonewmsgs | also try to see if it happens with a new user | 15:13 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | haven't tested, not going to waste 400mb of bandwidth and 7 hours of downloading to install gnome | 15:13 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | it does, nonewmsgs | 15:13 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | with a new user, I mean | 15:13 |
| Niksoni | I have a question,where and how can i get someone to be my mentor? | 15:13 |
| engineer | eh? | 15:13 |
| engineer | mentor wtf | 15:13 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | I had the issue once previously. managed to solve it by removing the nvidia proprietary driver, restarting X, deleting the config file (after backing it up, obviously) and then restarting X again | 15:14 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | doesn't work this time though, nor does the backup config which I saved from after I fixed it work to get it into the proper size | 15:14 |
| nonewmsgs | can you make ti to the display manager? | 15:14 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | yup. and by default it seems to autodetect my monitor wrong (although I have no clue as to what the hell happens then, since the login screen is fine). so I choose a correct model/mode appropriate to my monitor in admin mode, then set up the res, then restart X, back to 640x480 | 15:15 |
| nonewmsgs | does manually adjusting the xorg.conf file help | 15:17 |
| engineer | set the default settings to the resolution you want | 15:17 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | Depth 24 | 15:19 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | Modes "1024x768@60" "800x600@60" "800x600@56" "640x480@60" | 15:19 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | should pick the first one, right? | 15:19 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | I haven't fiddled with X config files since they invented hal+udev+X | 15:19 |
| nonewmsgs | no chnge the first one to 1440x900 | 15:19 |
| * frozty_sa|laptop repo-ifies /etc | 15:21 | |
| frozty_sa|laptop | nonewmsgs: still odd that it jumps to 640x480 even when the first one is 1440x900 | 15:21 |

| frozty_sa|laptop | like I said, I don't know | 15:38 |

| dad | this one I'm using now, Konversation, isnt' too bad | 15:41 |
| dad | but I'm really used to mIRC | 15:41 |
| dad | and I like my pop up messages.. | 15:42 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | you can activate that in konversation | 15:42 |
| dad | how ? | 15:42 |
| dad | and what other IRC clients have pop ups | 15:43 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | settings -> configure notifications | 15:43 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | I'm not sure on what other ones have popups in that sense, though I am aware you can do some cool things with kvirc + avant | 15:43 |
| dad | no , that allows a set message to appear on a triggering event.. but that's not a pop up message in mIRC. | 15:44 |
| Taladan | dad - have you tried xchat? | 15:45 |
| dad | These are the channel/chat messages you can store and then right click to insert into the message queue | 15:45 |
| dad | Not yet | 15:45 |
| dad | does it have pop ups ? | 15:45 |
| Taladan | Pop ups? | 15:45 |
| Wizard | irssi++ | 15:45 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | what are popups then, dad? | 15:45 |
| dad | You store a little message , like your physical description, that you need to type all the time, and then you can right click in the panel window | 15:45 |
| dad | and you get a list of all these pre made messages and you can select one and it displays to the active window | 15:46 |
| Taladan | Um...I dunno about that, but it supports python scripting, so I'm sure you could probably do all of that via a script. | 15:46 |
| Taladan | something like /message1 | 15:46 |
| dad | yes.. | 15:46 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | I have no idea about whether konversation can do that, as I've never had to put it into a menu | 15:46 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | the command alias can do what you want in text, though | 15:47 |
| dad | when you program them you store them Descript say:/ Funny Looking dwarf | 15:48 |
| dad | and then in the list you would pick descript and everyone you were talking to would see the phrase Funny Looking dwarf | 15:49 |
| dad | I've seen alias commands in mIRC | 15:50 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | I've already answered your question, it is now up to you to see that | 15:50 |
| dad | anyway.. I don't want a client that makes me have to learn python scripting.. I want a client that supports this feature directly | 15:51 |
| dad | Thank you for your answer frozty_sa|laptop | 15:51 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | I didn't say you should learn python | 15:51 |
| dad | but you may not be the only person in the room who has an opinion, | 15:51 |

| frozty_sa|laptop | huh? disconnecting internet, or my resolution woes? | 16:11 |
| XJman | Both. | 16:11 |
| XJman | Are you running wireless? | 16:12 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | yes/no/doesn'treallymatter | 16:13 |
| XJman | So it drops you internet if you are hardwired or wireless? | 16:13 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | you're confusing two issues | 16:14 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | the desktop box is the one with resolution issues | 16:14 |
| XJman | I was trying to help you with one at a time | 16:14 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | overall I just plain have shitty internet sometimes, comes with the geographical territory | 16:14 |
| XJman | Ahh ok | 16:15 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | thanks for the interest in both though :-) | 16:15 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | have any idea as to the X problem? | 16:15 |
| XJman | Have you tried to update your video card drivers? | 16:15 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | they are at the latest version. it is actually an update itself which caused this | 16:16 |
| XJman | I know some of the ATI cards can make your rez go crazy. I had to totally change my card in my desktop due to that | 16:16 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | nvidia card in my box | 16:16 |
| XJman | can you undo the updates from adept? | 16:18 |
| XJman | I've never really tried that. | 16:18 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | pffft, adept :-p | 16:18 |
| * frozty_sa|laptop hugs his terminal | 16:19 | |
| frozty_sa|laptop | the issue will be finding the previous version of the repo files, though | 16:19 |
| XJman | Sorry man, I'm at a loss honestly. I'm not great at problem solving yet as I've been lucky this year and have not had many issues | 16:21 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | during this I find myself actually wishing for the older XFree86 again.. | 16:22 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | where the autoconfig didn't try to overrule you at every corner | 16:22 |
| XJman | Problem is more and more programmers are comming to the ideal that computers are smarter than us. | 16:24 |
| XJman | I know how I wan't my computer, I know what I want on my computer. I don't want it to do it for me | 16:25 |

| gd515 | Can someone help me to install i program ? | 16:28 |
| === hardy is now known as dotancohen | ||
| Niksoni | Sure,what is the problem? | 16:28 |
| gd515 | im trying to install kderadiostation-0.6 i have it downloaded on the desktop and i extrated it so not its a folder and i dont know what to do next | 16:29 |
| Niksoni | Can you explain a little better the last part? | 16:30 |
| Niksoni | When you have extracted it you need to find the folder | 16:30 |
| Niksoni | If it's the ordinary program (not source code) you can find the .exe or whatever extension in the folder | 16:31 |
| Niksoni | Also,install the Wine.package | 16:31 |
| gd515 | after i extracted it .. it open with Dolphin and it have alot of files but i dont see a exe or a wine file .. | 16:32 |
| Niksoni | Hmm... | 16:32 |
| dotancohen | Hi all, I am having a hard time building exiv2 from source. Is there anyone experienced in such manners present? | 16:33 |
| Niksoni | I don't have my computer near me to see how i installed opera,it has got the same trick as yer file | 16:33 |
| Niksoni | Let me think for a second | 16:33 |
| gd515 | let me see if wine is insalled | 16:33 |
| Niksoni | Install Wine | 16:33 |
| === tugremx1 is now known as tigremx1 | ||
| Niksoni | It opens .exe files | 16:33 |
| gd515 | ok wine is installed but there isnt no exe file ... i dont think its even a windows app i think its a linux app | 16:36 |
| Niksoni | Hmm... | 16:36 |
| gd515 | i dont know im new so it could be me thata making this harder then it should be | 16:36 |
| Niksoni | Im new too,trust me... | 16:37 |
| gd515 | alot to learn huh | 16:37 |
| Niksoni | Yep | 16:37 |
| Niksoni | Im a BASIC programmer | 16:37 |
| Niksoni | and a Java too... | 16:37 |
| Niksoni | Ok,try searching in those upper menu's | 16:37 |
| gd515 | im just trying to get a radio or something on here .just boring without sound | 16:38 |
| Niksoni | File then application or something | 16:38 |
| frozty_sa|laptop | gd515: wine enables you to click on an .exe in linux and then it can open the windows application in linux (if all goes well) | 16:38 |
| Niksoni | I think he allready knows that... | 16:38 |
| Niksoni | Search the File menu | 16:38 |
| Niksoni | in the upper left corner of the screen | 16:38 |
| Niksoni | gd515: have you found it? | 16:40 |
| gd515 | ya but no luck | 16:41 |
| Niksoni | You found it in meny? | 16:41 |
| Niksoni | Menu i mean | 16:41 |
| gd515 | ya | 16:41 |
| Niksoni | So it won't run? | 16:42 |
| gd515 | no its still not working | 16:42 |
| Niksoni | You clicked on it and what happens then? | 16:42 |
| gd515 | when i click on the wine thing in the start menu? | 16:43 |
| Niksoni | No,not wine | 16:43 |
| Niksoni | I meant the shortcut for the program you installed | 16:43 |
| gd515 | oh no its not in the menu .. i havent even got it installed yet thats what im trying to do | 16:44 |
| Niksoni | Hmm... | 16:44 |
| Niksoni | If anyone else can take over,feel free | 16:45 |
| Niksoni | I need time to think | 16:45 |
| xeno99 | Anyone using Amarok with a Sony Walkman (MTP question)? | 16:45 |

| hemanathan | anyone | 16:58 |
| hemanathan | anyone help me ya | 16:58 |
| axel | hemanathan: "sudo apt-get install vlc" should do it. | 16:59 |

| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 17:00 |
| BluesKaj | hemanathan: Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories, click the kubuntu software tab, check all the boxes "X",same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu | 17:01 |
| hemanathan | axel:no it is not getting installed tell me some other things | 17:02 |
| hemanathan | i tried that it says break install and getting quitted | 17:02 |
| axel | hemanathan: what does apt-get say when you try this? | 17:03 |
| Niksoni | Maybe bug | 17:03 |
| hemanathan | axel;it depends on some packages and it lists the same | 17:03 |
| axel | hemanathan: strange. These packages should be installed automatically. | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | universe and multiverse need to be enabled | 17:06 |
| hemanathan | ok tell me some packages for downloading and getting installed | 17:07 |

| axel | hemanathan: OK. The file to edit to enable additional repositories is /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:18 |
| axel | hemanathan: But before you start editing make a copy of it, e.g. "sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak" | 17:19 |

| bobJR | i know how to partition with gparted | 19:34 |
| hoernerfranz | bobJR, just be sure to have a big enough partition for kubuntu, then install it there alongside windoze, grub will be configured for dual-boot automatically | 19:37 |
| bobJR | ive done it before and it screwed it up franz | 19:37 |
| bobJR | kubuntu had more than enough space | 19:38 |
| hoernerfranz | strange - I've done this several times and it always worked | 19:38 |
| === vander is now known as vander_ | ||
| bobJR | but grub would load and then it would go strait to windows xp | 19:38 |
| bobJR | i couldnt even select linux | 19:38 |
| bobJR | so should i partition with windows | 19:38 |
| bobJR | or gparted | 19:38 |

| hoernerfranz | hm, the ubuntu installer can also do partinioning for you | 19:40 |
| bobJR | what program do i use in ubuntu well im using kubuntu ? | 19:41 |
| hoernerfranz | the installer for kubuntu works the same way as that for ubuntu | 19:42 |
| bobJR | ok | 19:42 |
| bobJR | ill use gparted then and try my luck i know its gonna screw up ive done it before | 19:42 |
| bobJR | and partition one partition ntfs | 19:43 |
| hoernerfranz | you may need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to select what is booted by default, as well as the timeout for selection | 19:43 |
| bobJR | and leave the rest | 19:43 |
| bobJR | how do you do that once its installed | 19:43 |
| hoernerfranz | you can use any text editor for that | 19:44 |
| bobJR | ok how do i get into it is what im asking | 19:44 |
| bobJR | once windows is installed | 19:45 |
| hoernerfranz | oh, well, you need to boot into linux, first, as windoze won't recognize an ext2 /boot partition :) | 19:45 |
| === luis is now known as luso | ||
| hoernerfranz | alternatively, you can use the live cd (kubuntu) and do it from there | 19:46 |
| bobJR | ok i might be in here once its done | 19:46 |
| bobJR | later and thanks | 19:46 |
| hoernerfranz | you'r welcome - good luck ! | 19:47 |

| pitme | I have installed kubuntu 8.04 and im a first time linux user. I have experimented with the "user manegement" and i have a great problem now. Now I have only a "ordinary" user in kubunti named pitme, with no admin rights. So now i cannot accces for exempel "add/remove prgrams" and i cannot make any changes on the "user manegement" page. When i insert my password it says "Your username is unknown to sudo!". How can i make my username known to | 20:15 |

| === eloquence is now known as elo_ | ||
| hoernerfranz | pitme: try to edit /etc/sudoers from a live cd boot | 20:30 |
| pitme | any guide on how to do this? I have found the following but don't think it will work: | 20:31 |
| pitme | adduser username admin | 20:31 |
| pitme | shutdown -r now | 20:31 |
| pitme | i should insert that in the GRUB recovery menu! | 20:31 |
| hoernerfranz | partly ok, yes: you have to make sure your user is in group 'admin' | 20:32 |
| hoernerfranz | in effect, all what has to be done is add user 'pitme' to group 'admin' | 20:33 |
| pitme | i have tried that from the terminel but it says im about to be reported or something.. :-( | 20:33 |
| === root is now known as Guest91820 | ||
| hoernerfranz | sure that's why i said: do it from a live cd, as your current account doesn't have admin privilegues :) | 20:34 |
| pitme | ah i see. Will be right back.. Thanks for the help :-) | 20:35 |
| hoernerfranz | you're welcome, good luck :) | 20:36 |

| Taggnostr | what is the KDE wallet? | 20:40 |
| Taggnostr | it's asking me for a password | 20:40 |
| Taladan | It's a utility that stores your password locally on your system for various things so that you don't have to keep retyping it over and over and over. | 20:42 |
| pitme | Thanks hoernerfranz. It worked out nice.. Just one last question. Im I supposed to have "admin" as my secondery gruop on a default user? | 20:42 |
| pitme | is it safe and so? And by the way. When i installed kubuntu for the first time i don't recall i had to insert my password every time i would add/remove programs! | 20:44 |
| hoernerfranz | pitme: glad to read it worked :) | 20:46 |
| hoernerfranz | pitme: admin as secondary group is ok | 20:47 |
| Taggnostr | Taladan, do I have to set a master password? | 20:47 |
| hoernerfranz | additional note: it is normal you have to provide your pwd on admin tasks | 20:48 |
| hoernerfranz | because normal account doesn't have root privilegues | 20:48 |
| pitme | hoernerfranz: okay. Do you know if the default user when I installed kubuntu had admin rights as secondery? | 20:49 |
| hoernerfranz | yes | 20:49 |
| pitme | is there a difference between root and admin? | 20:49 |
| hoernerfranz | root is in group admin automatically, so ok | 20:49 |
| pitme | thank you very much for your help.. | 20:50 |

| brad__ | I just have a quick question | 21:06 |

| brad__ | is firefox 3.01 extraordinarily broken for everyone on 64bit? | 21:06 |
| brad__ | because I waited a bit to install because I wasnt sure if I would have to redo the flash fix or not, and it doesn't work at all | 21:07 |
| brad__ | which is sad because its a stability update and it worked well before and now doesn't work even a little bit | 21:07 |
| Taladan | Taggnostr: Yeah, iirc | 21:08 |
| stmiller | brad__ flash crashes firefox a lot | 21:09 |
| brad__ | no but I mean it worked perfectly before, I updated routinely, and now it wont do anything | 21:10 |
| brad__ | it shows a blank page, and an x where the icon would be | 21:10 |
| brad__ | and you cant enter anything in the address line | 21:10 |
| brad__ | its completely, absolutely broken and does not function in any way | 21:10 |

| brad__ | well thats really frustrating because it worked just fine before the upgrade | 21:11 |

| ubottu | icelab: 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) | 22:01 |
| jhutchins | ilkin: Usually you have to "empty" the trash rather than try to delete a file within the trash. | 22:01 |

| icelab | ok | 22:04 |
| icelab | i've make some mistake? | 22:04 |
| HighHo | icelab: open a konsole window type "cd" to ensure your in your home folder then "cd .local/share/Trash/files" then "sudo rm * -R" | 22:07 |
| HighHo | that should remove everything in your trash | 22:08 |
