| Atheossapiens | is there anybody here that can help me with the configuration of a broadcom 4310 for wpa | 00:25 |
| Atheossapiens | i am running kubuntu | 00:25 |

| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:26 |
| Atheossapiens | yep | 00:27 |
| Atheossapiens | the internal card works with routers that dont have encryption turned on | 00:27 |
| crimsun | Atheossapiens: AFAIK you'll have to use ndiswrapper. b43 does not support it yet. | 00:27 |
| Atheossapiens | it works with the wl.o broadcom driver | 00:28 |
| Atheossapiens | does that mean that only non-secure routers will work with that driver | 00:29 |
| gooseiber | Apparently Netgear now do an open source router | 00:29 |
| crimsun | no, that is not the case, Atheossapiens. | 00:29 |
| gooseiber | I was looking at getting one | 00:29 |
| guido | I'm having a BadMatch Error with KWin, anyone knows how to fix this? | 00:29 |
| Atheossapiens | crimsun: the wl driver works great for non-secure routers | 00:30 |
| gooseiber | Some routers provide for mac code locking even without WPA | 00:30 |
| crimsun | Atheossapiens: what is "wl"? ndiswrapper? b43? b43legacy? | 00:30 |
| Atheossapiens | i have a versalink 327w router/modem. wl is the broadcom driver that comes with ubuntu | 00:31 |
| crimsun | Atheossapiens: so...b43? | 00:31 |
| crimsun | Atheossapiens: (you can check via lsmod) | 00:31 |
| Atheossapiens | ok | 00:31 |
| Atheossapiens | all it says is wl | 00:33 |
| Atheossapiens | it is a proprietary driver | 00:33 |
| gooseiber_ | I recently installed Kubuntu after using Gnome for a while and I am puzzled as to why the Konqueror start page link "Kubuntu Documentation" doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else experienced this? Where is the link "help:/kubuntu/" meant to point to? | 00:43 |

| Taladan | here's a question - how do I change my default file browser in Kubuntu in 7.10 | 01:01 |
| inavat | hello. I've been messing around with aticonfig and other stuff, trying to get my svideo-out to work. I must've screwed something up, because the next time I rebooted, I just get a black screen. When I went into recovery and had it reinitialize my xorg.conf, it worked again, but I'm not using the fglrx drivers anymore. | 01:02 |

| inavat | oops | 01:02 |
| inavat | sorry | 01:02 |
| BluesKaj | Taladan: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser, then some apps like IRC clients | 01:02 |
| inavat | anyway, When I switched back to the copy of xorg.conf I had been using before I started messing around, I still get the black screen | 01:02 |
| BluesKaj | will need to reconfig | 01:03 |
| Agent_bob | i'm having an issue with k3b it fails to burn anything. is there some specital module i might need to modprobe? ide dvd burner ? | 01:03 |
| BluesKaj | inavat: which ati card ? | 01:04 |
| Taladan | BluesKaj: Not the webbrowser...the file browser | 01:04 |
| Taladan | That's for the web-browser, ne? | 01:04 |
| Agent_bob | does k3b need hald to work ? | 01:04 |
| Agent_bob | !d3lphen | 01:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about d3lphen | 01:05 |
| Agent_bob | well spelli it right and it will work | 01:05 |
| Agent_bob | !d3lphon | 01:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about d3lphon | 01:06 |
| Agent_bob | f ? | 01:06 |
| BluesKaj | Taladan: sorry , open konq /settings/configure konq/file associations/inode/directory/ choose konq , move up ..same goes for system directory | 01:06 |
| Agent_bob | !d3lphin | 01:07 |
| ubottu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 01:07 |
| Agent_bob | Taladan ^ | 01:07 |
| Taladan | Awesome...you guys rock! | 01:08 |
| Taladan | Thanks to both of you | 01:08 |
| BluesKaj | NP Taladan | 01:08 |
| Taladan | Anyone else ever notice that the icons slowly 'fade' out in Dolphin as you mouse over them? | 01:08 |
| Agent_bob | if i could spell pea without doing it, i might be more helpful | 01:09 |
| Taladan | Or is that just an oddity that I've seen? | 01:09 |
| Agent_bob | now why won't my k3b burn a dvd ? | 01:09 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm odd output http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d6d496e6d | 01:11 |
| zabbadapp | Agent_bob: is there a file > 4Gig on the dvd? i think there was (is?) a general problem with that ... several files that together is >4Gig or an iso that is >4Gig is no problem to burn ... | 01:12 |
| Agent_bob | the dvd is blank | 01:13 |
| Taladan | Bad dvd maybe? | 01:13 |
| zabbadapp | i mean that you try to put on it | 01:13 |
| Agent_bob | Taladan second disk same error so i doubt | 01:13 |
| Taladan | Hm | 01:13 |
| Agent_bob | zabbadapp the total size is < 2g | 01:14 |
| Taladan | You burning an ISO or just creating a Data disc? | 01:15 |

| guido | Hi | 01:17 |
| BlackDragonBE | hi | 01:17 |
| Agent_bob | i'm thinking that something that k3b relies on is not active. hal dbus udev something.... | 01:17 |
| guido | Whenever I logout or restart from KDE, KDM crashes and the computer just hangs in there until I hit ctrl-alt-backspace | 01:18 |
| guido | thoughts anyone? | 01:18 |
| Agent_bob | guido yeah try ^C to see if it's a command loop | 01:18 |
| Agent_bob | when it hangs | 01:18 |
| guido | ok, I'll give that a try now, brb | 01:19 |
| Agent_bob | 01:20 | |
| Taladan | Agent_bob: what version of K3b do you have? | 01:21 |
| substrate | whenever I try to startx it tells me it doesn't have write access to ~/.ICEauthority. This started happening after I tried to install KDE4 using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop". I'm wondering if a bunch of permissions got messed up because I used sudo? Wouldn't this happen to everyone that tries to run that command (pulled from kubuntu's website) | 01:23 |
| guido | Agent_bob: I tried that ctrl c thing but nothing happened | 01:23 |
| guido | I had to ctrl-alt-del to kill kdm | 01:23 |
| Taladan | substrate: you can always try sudo chmod 777 ~/.ICEauthority | 01:25 |
| substrate | yea i was thinking of doing that last night but I haven't used linux in so long I forgot the chmod mask (or whatever you call it) | 01:27 |
| substrate | i'll try right now | 01:27 |
| inavat | hi.. I'm trying to get svideo out. I have a mobility x1400. I run the "ATI Catalyst Control Center", which is supposed to auto-detect the svideo out as a second display, but it doesn't | 01:27 |
| Taladan | And Agent_bob Looks (from googling) like this is a known bug with K3b, but I'm not finding a fix for it yet | 01:27 |
| substrate | lemmie restart x .. brb | 01:29 |
| Agent_bob | guido i hope you mean ctrl+alt+backspace not ctrl+alt+del ? | 01:29 |
| guido | Agent_bob: nope.. had to do ctrl-alt-del, it just froze there without responding | 01:30 |
| guido | Agent_bob: I did the chkdisk afterwards | 01:30 |
| Agent_bob | Taladan don't waste your time. it's not a bug per'se cause it works when i boot with *buntu defaults but not in lean/mean mode. | 01:30 |
| Agent_bob | guido use gdm ? | 01:31 |
| Agent_bob | guido more than one way to defur a feline | 01:31 |
| guido | Agent_bob: but wouldn't that create conflicts or whatever with my kubuntu? | 01:31 |
| === root is now known as substrate | ||
| Taladan | Agent_bob: Are you by chance trying to burn an mp3 or mpeg on there? | 01:31 |
| Agent_bob | nope | 01:31 |
| Agent_bob | to both questions ^ | 01:32 |
| substrate | yea i still get a bunch of other errors after kde starts about write permissions. anyway, i installed kde4 using the command from the kubuntu website but if I just type "sudo startx" at the console it starts kde 3, not kde 4. any ideas? | 01:33 |
| Taladan | hm, well, the only other suggestion that I saw that might work is set multisession mode off and set it to DAO burning. | 01:33 |
| Agent_bob | substrate own your home. you probably did something with sudo that you should only do with kdesu | 01:33 |
| Agent_bob | Taladan i'll let you know when i find it. and i will find it. thanks for the effort. | 01:34 |
| * Taladan nods | 01:34 | |
| Taladan | Just like to return the favour when I can | 01:34 |
| Slurb | hmm | 01:35 |
| substrate | Agent_bob: umm, own you home? what? | 01:35 |
| Taladan | And I'm like you - I'll sit there and stew about an issue for months if I have to, but eventually work out a way to find the answer. | 01:35 |
| Slurb | anyone know anything about a microsoft laser mouse 6000 | 01:35 |
| substrate | it shoots lasers | 01:35 |
| === root is now known as Guest29959 | ||
| Slurb | yes invisible ones at that | 01:36 |
| substrate | and i prefer led to laser | 01:36 |
| Slurb | a laser is brighter | 01:36 |
| substrate | i find the led mice dont have as much shutter on rough surfaces. | 01:36 |
| Agent_bob | substrate sudo chown $USER -R $HOME | 01:36 |
| Agent_bob | just like i typed it ^ | 01:37 |
| substrate | if i use my razer copperhead (laser) on a cloth surface it tracks worse than my razer diamondback (led) | 01:37 |
| Slurb | this one is pretty nice, it plays warsow well | 01:37 |
| substrate | Agent_bob: ok tu i will try | 01:37 |
| Slurb | and its wireless | 01:37 |
| substrate | me no likey wireless (laggy) | 01:37 |
| guido | does anyone know why could a vbox windows lose its shared clipboard ability? | 01:38 |
| Slurb | i can scroll across four desktops in about 10 inches of space | 01:39 |
| substrate | brb | 01:39 |
| substrate | Agent_bob: well i did the sudo chown but it says cannot start kde something config | 01:41 |
| substrate | anyway | 01:41 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| substrate | i just want to try to get kde4 working | 01:41 |
| Agent_bob | substrate what "something" ?? | 01:43 |
| substrate | ahhh i could restart x i suppose ... i tried remembering it but im baked | 01:43 |
| substrate | brb | 01:43 |
| guido | Ok, fixed the clipboard thing.. it had been disabled by vbox | 01:43 |
| substrate | Agent_bob: kstartupconfig | 01:44 |
| substrate | again, using "sudo startx" i get no errors | 01:44 |
| substrate | what is the proper command to start kde4 from console/ | 01:45 |
| substrate | i use startx but it doesn't start kde4 | 01:45 |
| Agent_bob | substrate sudo startx ???? why on earth would you start it as root ? | 01:47 |
| substrate | the reason is that i cannot start it otherwise | 01:47 |
| substrate | i get the kstartupconfig error | 01:47 |
| substrate | and the .ICEauthority error | 01:48 |
| substrate | this was all after trying to install kde4 as root | 01:48 |
| Agent_bob | yeah becaue root owns you now.... | 01:48 |
| substrate | me thinks it overwrote a bunch of files with root permissions | 01:48 |
| substrate | but kubuntu's fucking website said to do it that way | 01:48 |
| VousDeux | !sisusb | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sisusb | 01:49 |
| Agent_bob | yes. so kill xorg and run sudo chown -R $USER $HOME | 01:49 |
| Agent_bob | then without sudo.... startx and see if it errors | 01:49 |
| substrate | Agent_bob: do you run kde3 or 4? | 01:49 |
| substrate | ok | 01:49 |
| Agent_bob | substrate not if i can help it i don't | 01:49 |
| substrate | console or gnome / other? | 01:50 |
| Agent_bob | coonsole | 01:50 |
| Agent_bob | console | 01:50 |
| substrate | yea me likes console too | 01:50 |
| * mlLK just installed kdebase, kdm, and xorg w/ apt-get on a heron server and the login screen displays (along w/ a functioning cursor) but doesn't respond | 01:50 | |
| Agent_bob | i run console and typo mostly | 01:50 |
| mlLK | is there a way to install kdebase bypassing acpi ? | 01:51 |
| substrate | i just wanted to see kde4 ... that's all .... that's all ... so simple. no ? | 01:51 |
| substrate | brb | 01:51 |
| * Agent_bob couldn't see why kdebase would depend on acpi | 01:52 | |
| mlLK | i've had the same issues before w/ ubuntu-desktop and i would often boot the live cd to safe-graphics mode and this fixed my problem | 01:52 |
| substrate | right on Agent_bob that works good | 01:52 |
| mlLK | cept i don't really know what to do in context of apt-get | 01:52 |
| Agent_bob | substrate for the record. if you ever have to startx as root either use sudo -i and then startx or sudo su - startx or something that will set the full environment to root and not just execute the command as root.... saves lots of headaches "MINR" | 01:54 |
| Agent_bob | E | 01:54 |
| simula | does anyone have an opinion on the best video card for kubuntu (x86)? | 01:55 |
| simula | i'm swapping out the guts of my main box | 01:55 |
| substrate | after the kernerl and stuff is done loading, what file does it read from to start x and your wm and stuff? it seems to start up x in a different way than "startx" does from the console. fresh boot = kdm with kde4 look, but startx from console starts kde3 | 01:55 |
| Agent_bob | substrate init and the inittab file in /etc | 01:55 |
| substrate | kk tu me go look | 01:56 |
| Agent_bob | substrate don't ask me to explain the "upstart" aproach that *buntu now uses. i'm a sysV init guy | 01:56 |
| Agent_bob | simula yeah i have one. best is the card that will do what you want it to do at a reasonable price and is fully supported by FOSS that last phrase would exclude ati and nvidia | 01:58 |
| Agent_bob | !foss | 01:58 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 01:58 |
| Agent_bob | first link ^ | 01:58 |
| simula | so agent_bob, what card would that be? | 02:00 |
| simula | i would love to grab an open spec card, but i don't know of any | 02:01 |
| substrate | so, let me get this straight, kdm is the kde desktop manager, and it controls which version of kde starts? if i wanted to start kde4 instaed of kde3 i would have to modify some sort of kdm config file? | 02:02 |
| Agent_bob | doesn't have to be open spec, just fully supported. i.e. if they will only furnish propritary driver for linux avoid it if possable. if it's supported natively in linux and some are, then see if it meets the other conditions | 02:03 |
| Agent_bob | substrate no. kdm is kde's "display" manager. i.e. it's responsable for the graphical login process | 02:04 |
| substrate | ok, so for some reason i have kdm4 running (i.e. the new look with smooth black finishes on the windows) but after the login is complete kde3 starts. | 02:05 |
| Agent_bob | substrate and no. no modification should be required. there should be an option at login to "change session" and you should see the kde4 listed | 02:05 |
| substrate | oh yes i remember that now. i saw that a couple days ago. the fonts are microscopic in kdm for some reason so i haven't bothered looking at it again | 02:06 |
| Agent_bob | all *dm's try to respect the users "default session" | 02:06 |
| substrate | another thing screwed up =) | 02:06 |
| substrate | is it possible to logout of kde back to kdm without shutting down x ? | 02:06 |
| substrate | so that i can start kde4 instead of 3 ? | 02:07 |
| Agent_bob | substrate for magnifying try ctrl+alt+- and use the mouse to mover the screen around | 02:07 |
| substrate | ok brb | 02:07 |
| Agent_bob | substrate in theory yes. in practice well not exactly | 02:07 |
| substrate | ok | 02:08 |
| Agent_bob | substrate let me explain that | 02:08 |
| substrate | sure | 02:08 |
| Agent_bob | substrate when you select to "end current session" it does kill the xserver and restart it back to the kdm login. it's a quick blink that most don't notice | 02:09 |
| substrate | oh ok i see | 02:09 |
| Agent_bob | but it is actually killing x there. or "resetting" it. | 02:09 |
| substrate | you would have to edit the logout process | 02:10 |
| substrate | to not kill x then | 02:10 |
| substrate | if its possible | 02:10 |
| Agent_bob | yeah. but there is no point in it. | 02:10 |
| substrate | yea most ppl wouldnt bother | 02:10 |
| substrate | 1 sec brb going to try kde4 | 02:10 |
| Agent_bob | that half second saved wouldn't be worth the added "possable left running" processes | 02:10 |
| simula | agent_bob, do you know of any video cards that meet that criteria? | 02:12 |
| Agent_bob | i think i will build another initramfs image that doesn't use udev and test k3b with static device nodes. "Agent_bob isn't a udev fan anyway" | 02:12 |
| Agent_bob | simula haven't kept up with the newer stuff but intel has built several | 02:13 |
| simula | thanks for the intel suggestion agent_bob, i'll look into it | 02:14 |
| Agent_bob | s3 used to was. i don't think they are even in business anymore | 02:14 |
| Agent_bob | that was an old skewl thought, disreguard it. | 02:14 |

| substrate | yo yo | 02:18 |
| substrate | umm no | 02:18 |
| Agent_bob | k | 02:18 |
| substrate | just regular startx | 02:19 |
| substrate | but kde4 has microscopic fonts | 02:19 |
| substrate | lol | 02:19 |
| substrate | so now im back in kde3 | 02:19 |
| Agent_bob | k just making sure you are fully aware of the implications of irc'ing as root | 02:19 |
| substrate | funny how kde4 is all black except for the "start menu" (I'll call it) and applications | 02:19 |
| substrate | i know i know .. someone hosed my box a long time ago when i did that | 02:20 |
| substrate | lol | 02:20 |
| Agent_bob | substrate i'm not familear with kde4 does it not have kcontrol ? you should be able to "zoom in" use kcontrol and set all fonts to a larger size... err at least that would work in kde3 | 02:20 |
| substrate | i dunno. i dont even know what kcontrol is :o/ | 02:21 |
| substrate | you're talking to a complete linux noob here =) | 02:21 |
| * Agent_bob likes xorgs native ability to zoom the entire display | 02:21 | |
| * Evil_DuDe likes to bring his head really close to a monitor | 02:22 | |
| Agent_bob | substrate it's found in kde3 under kmenu > system settings or you could just alt+f2 type in kcontrol | 02:22 |
| substrate | yea i did ctrl-alt-+ but it just made the microscopic blurry fonts macroscopic blurry fonts (i.e. the fonts were 3 point so that on the pixel level they were blurry. even if blown up you can tell what the letters are, LOL) | 02:22 |
| Evil_DuDe | sounds kinda serious | 02:22 |
| substrate | is ctrl-alt-+ the same thing as kcontrol ? | 02:22 |
| Agent_bob | substrate did you hit it again and again till it looped all the way back to normal ? | 02:23 |
| Agent_bob | substrate no. it is nothing like it. | 02:23 |
| substrate | na i left it on macroscopic level | 02:23 |
| Agent_bob | !kcontrol | substrate | 02:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kcontrol | 02:23 |

| Agent_bob | yep | 02:34 |
| genii | Schuenemann: You may want libx11-dev besides the xorg-dev | 02:35 |

| Schuenemann | genii, can I make a .deb from that screensaver and avoid this pain for further times? | 02:38 |
| genii | Schuenemann: If you get it to the point where it could successfully do: sudo make install then use checkinstall instead to make the deb | 02:39 |
| Schuenemann | hmm | 02:39 |
| Schuenemann | well, checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! | 02:39 |

| Schuenemann | is it this one, genii? | 02:40 |
| genii | Schuenemann: For kde3 it's qt3 | 02:42 |
| leba__ | hey, how do I change my nick here ? | 02:43 |
| Schuenemann | it's the headers package | 02:43 |
| Schuenemann | leba__, /nick yournick | 02:43 |
| === leba__ is now known as leba | ||

| genii | Schuenemann: The kdelibs-dev but forget exact version | 02:48 |
| Schuenemann | kdelibs4-dev is the only one I see | 02:48 |
| genii | Schuenemann: I think for kde3 it's kdelibs4-dev | 02:48 |
| Schuenemann | tons of dependencies and 12 more MB | 02:49 |
| Schuenemann | *yawn* | 02:50 |
| Schuenemann | I hope the screensaver is worth this all :-) | 02:50 |
| Schuenemann | genii, it passed, but sudo make does not: /bin/bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 02:54 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Don;t use sudo for ./configure or for make. Only for last step of (sudo) make install | 02:55 |
| Schuenemann | ok | 02:56 |
| Schuenemann | I don't have automake anyway, do I need it? | 02:56 |
| genii | Schuenemann: But in this case anyhow, to make a deb you need sudo checkinstall | 02:56 |
| genii | Schuenemann: automake is part of build-essential so you have it | 02:56 |
| Schuenemann | I don't... | 02:57 |
| Schuenemann | just checked, I have build-essential but not automake | 02:57 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Well, you can just apt-get install it if neccesary. I was pretty sure it came with that package for some reason, I don't recall specifically installing it seaparately | 02:59 |
| Schuenemann | genii, ok, look what I get anyway: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30735/ | 03:00 |
| Schuenemann | with make | 03:00 |
| genii | reading | 03:00 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Try with -k | 03:01 |
| Schuenemann | genii, now this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30736/ | 03:01 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Looks like something amiss with your ./configure options which made the Makefile | 03:02 |
| Schuenemann | hmmm | 03:03 |
| Schuenemann | any easy way to find it out? | 03:03 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Usually there is an INSTALL or README which documents the ./configure options. Occasionally opening the configure.in file itself sometimes they are listed in a place there as well (but not always) | 03:04 |
| Schuenemann | genii, yes, I always following INSTALL... nothing really helpful for me | 03:06 |
| nonewmsgs | how can i tell if i have a trojan? | 03:06 |
| genii | nonewmsgs: On your windows computer? | 03:06 |
| Schuenemann | there is cache, help, quiet, silent, -q, srcdir, version... | 03:06 |
| nonewmsgs | genii no on ubuntu | 03:06 |
| nonewmsgs | genii i downlaoded a linux program from a torrent and it didnt work but it seems like some of my other torrent saves are going to my desktop instead of my normal save spot. i checked and ktorrent is set to put them in a different folder, or am i just being paranoid? | 03:07 |
| genii | nonewmsgs: No windows trojans can infect linux. However some macros which may come in a MS doc file that call Visual Basic might register as some trojan. But they can't really do to much | 03:08 |
| nonewmsgs | genii i am not talking about wine i am talking about installing a tarball | 03:08 |
| genii | nonewmsgs: Firefox will put downloads in one spot and your torrent programs will each put their files in their own specific locations | 03:09 |
| XJman | nonewmsgs: You should be fine | 03:09 |
| nonewmsgs | thanks guys. i knew i should be fine but to hear it again always helps | 03:09 |
| Schuenemann | genii, is there anything I could do now about that screensaver? | 03:11 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Is te source fr it available from repositories? | 03:12 |
| Schuenemann | I downloaded from kde-look.org | 03:12 |
| Schuenemann | here: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/KMatrix3d?content=52483 | 03:13 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Gimme a while. I'll look into it | 03:13 |
| Schuenemann | thanks | 03:14 |
| genii | Schuenemann: It says the source versions are for Kubuntu Edgy (6.10) | 03:15 |
| genii | And also AMD64 kubuntu Which I figure likely for 6.10 version also | 03:16 |
| Schuenemann | where do you see that? | 03:16 |
| genii | Schuenemann: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=188204 | 03:16 |
| Schuenemann | I thought source codes like... independed from a particular version | 03:16 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Not particularly. The stock or vanilla sources are "patched" for specific flavours like debian or so on. Because libraries and other things are different | 03:17 |
| genii | Schuenemann: Anyhow on that same page is an i386 deb file which *might* work | 03:18 |
| Schuenemann | well, how would someone not having those platforms compile it, then? | 03:18 |
| Schuenemann | the .deb is for edgy | 03:18 |
| genii | Schuenemann: You can try install and see if it groans about dependencies or such. | 03:19 |
| Schuenemann | let me see | 03:19 |
| Schuenemann | it seems to be working | 03:20 |
| Schuenemann | and it's beautiful :D | 03:21 |
| genii | Nice | 03:21 |
| Schuenemann | thank you | 03:21 |

| dubby | hey anyone here know how to install kubuntu on a raid array that i set up through bios ? | 03:41 |
| alt- | hello | 03:45 |
| soorya | I am in India | 03:45 |
| alt- | hello soorya, i'm in france :s | 03:46 |
| soorya | What is your nAME? | 03:46 |
| Sevenhill | :) | 03:46 |
| soorya | HOW ARE YOU MY FRIENDS? | 03:47 |
| alt- | o_o | 03:47 |
| BluesKaj | dubby , just install it like any other OS , afaiak | 03:47 |
| Sevenhill | o_O | 03:47 |
| soorya | I am using Kubuntu | 03:47 |
| BluesKaj | congratulations soorya :) | 03:48 |
| dubby | BluesKaj: on a raid array, its weird, i have /dev/mapper/jmicron that i can see but whenever i try to write to it it says that the file does not exist | 03:48 |
| dubby | jmicron is my bios that created the raid array | 03:48 |
| BluesKaj | which raid setup are you using dubby ? | 03:49 |
| soorya | I am not an Linux expert | 03:49 |
| BluesKaj | 0, 1 , 5 ? | 03:49 |
| dubby | i read on google and ubuntu forums from live-cd instal dmraid first and then it would work, yet i am unable to install any application while using live cd, and i am using a striped raid-0 | 03:49 |
| soorya | Do you know anything about ISRO? | 03:50 |
| BluesKaj | striped raid 0 is not recommended for safe backup of files , there's no redundancy | 03:50 |
| alt- | kubuntu is ubuntu with kde instead of gnome ? | 03:51 |
| dubby | BluesKaj i did not want it for redundancy infact I wanted a jbod just to put like 3 200g hard drives together into a single 600, if they degrade then so be it, im trying to learn | 03:51 |
| BluesKaj | all hdds are acting as one in raid-0 ...if one fails , your setup is screwed | 03:52 |
| soorya | I want some hot websites | 03:52 |
| alt- | my inglish may be dirty.. | 03:52 |
| BluesKaj | if you used raid5 , then you could stripe 2 and use one as the backup | 03:53 |
| soorya | Looks very dirty | 03:53 |
| alt- | sry :D | 03:53 |
| alt- | yours too | 03:53 |
| soorya | Are you male or female? | 03:53 |
| alt- | male.. | 03:53 |
| BluesKaj | alt-, yes kubuntu uses kde desktop environment | 03:54 |

| alt- | stupid question: is kde better than gnome ? | 03:56 |
| soorya | Have you ever been to India? | 03:56 |
| dubby | BluesKaj: sorry yes, I know the risks of a raid-0 array and still would like to place an installation upon it | 03:56 |
| alt- | never :s | 03:56 |

| dubby | anywho | 03:57 |
| dubby | Yes I know the risks involved in a raid-0 array and a jbod (which i would have preferred further) , BluesKaj, do you believe if it was a raid-1 array it would be any different? | 03:58 |
| dubby | and then easier to install | 03:58 |
| BluesKaj | yes, i think so dubby | 03:59 |
| soorya | What's special in your country? | 03:59 |

| enterusername | and was wondering if anyone solved the issue. When i run with speedstep linux doesnt go pass the 2.4 | 06:14 |
| enterusername | however ive got my system overclocked to 3.2 | 06:14 |

| Darkrift411 | my laptop just stopped booting.. not sure whats wrong but sometimes it will load kde and the kicker, others it wont. when it does, nothing works (doesnt finish loading my auto start programs) | 06:15 |
| Darkrift411 | sometimes i can click the kde button and a menu will come up, but it kinda locks there | 06:16 |
| Darkrift411 | cannot boot to console | 06:16 |
| Darkrift411 | only thing that seems to work every time is ctrl-alt-backspace, which lets me relogin and watch it fail all over again | 06:16 |

| chackal_sjc | hey guys | 07:18 |
| chackal_sjc | why my ~/.profile is not sourced when the system starts?? | 07:18 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdebase/faq/configure.html#id2559604 | 07:19 |
| Darkrift411 | i came home tonight to my kubuntu 7.10 laptop having internet problems (irc worked, that is all though). after trying to reconnect, i rebooted. since then i have not been able to boot up fully. kde will sometimes load, but nothing runs (my autoload programs dont even start). nothing works at all except ctrl-alt-bkspc which just restarts the loop. renaming .kde didnt help. im at a recovery console, is there anything i can do? | 07:19 |
| Me | Wow, I have never heard of anything... like that at all. | 07:20 |
| Me | Have you done any console or cut and paste any script you didn't fully understand? | 07:20 |
| genii | Darkrift411: In recovery kernel does it have internet? | 07:21 |
| Darkrift411 | lately the only thing i did was installing java vm | 07:21 |
| Darkrift411 | no genii | 07:21 |
| Darkrift411 | ifup eth1 gives error | 07:21 |
| Darkrift411 | unknown interface | 07:21 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: and here can I edit the Xsession file? | 07:21 |
| Me | Is KDE your only Enviro? | 07:22 |
| genii | Darkrift411: PErhaps try: dpkg --configure -a | 07:22 |
| Darkrift411 | ? | 07:22 |
| Darkrift411 | gave no output | 07:22 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: "here"? | 07:23 |
| genii | Darkrift411: If you shut the machine down while it was applying updates and this is the root cause of the issue, this will compell it to finish configuring whatever it was in the middle of configuring. | 07:23 |
| Darkrift411 | nah, that didnt happen | 07:23 |
| Darkrift411 | i rebooted normally | 07:23 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: but do you know? | 07:23 |
| Darkrift411 | and last updates i did myself (was some php updates but nothing else) | 07:23 |
| genii | Darkrift411: OK. Have you scanned the drive for errors? | 07:23 |
| Darkrift411 | no because fsck needs it unmounted | 07:23 |
| Darkrift411 | and its mounted | 07:23 |
| Darkrift411 | nobody can tell me any other way :( | 07:23 |
| Me | What about if he did a "sudo apt-get uninstall kubuntu-desktop" and then a "sudo apt-get install Kubuntu-desktop"? | 07:24 |
| Darkrift411 | cant, no internet | 07:24 |
| Me | Would that solve the problem? | 07:24 |
| Me | Shit... | 07:24 |
| Darkrift411 | yeah.... | 07:24 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: what do you mean? Do I know what? | 07:24 |
| soorya | william iam ready | 07:24 |
| Me | Boot up a Live CD. | 07:24 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: do you know where is located Xsession file? | 07:24 |
| genii | Darkrift411: If you are already in recovery kernel it's fine. Just issue: mount -o remount ro / then run the fsck on the / partition | 07:24 |
| Me | Download the package. | 07:24 |
| Darkrift411 | i c | 07:25 |
| Me | Then install in recovery. | 07:25 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: just edit (or create) your ~/.xsession file and make it source your ~/.profile file | 07:25 |
| Darkrift411 | gave error about scanning mounted filesystems | 07:25 |
| Darkrift411 | just continue? | 07:25 |
| Me | Would that work? or can you save in a live? | 07:25 |
| Me | Never tried. | 07:25 |
| genii | Me: First to discover if hardware or software is at fault then to proceed forward once this is known. | 07:25 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Yes, continue | 07:26 |
| Darkrift411 | . /dev/sda1: recovering journal | 07:26 |
| Me | I'm kinda a newbie, I may not have the best advice. | 07:26 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Good. | 07:26 |
| Darkrift411 | . /dev /sda1: clean, 560353/9535488 files, blah blocks, (check after next mount) | 07:27 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: okay, thanks.. and do you know about the Xstartup?? | 07:27 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: no | 07:27 |
| genii | Darkrift411: OK, so software is the issue. You've already eliminated settings in .kde folder. So then most likely suspect is some modification to the xorg.conf file | 07:27 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: okay, thanks anyway | 07:27 |
| Darkrift411 | i dont see how/why | 07:28 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: also see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 07:28 |
| Darkrift411 | kde LOADS, just nothing will run | 07:28 |
| Darkrift411 | it loads, i get kicker and i get tooltips if i hover over icons on my desktop | 07:28 |
| Darkrift411 | but clicking on anything basically locks me up | 07:28 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Hmm. OK. | 07:28 |
| Darkrift411 | kde button opens menu, but then locks it up | 07:28 |
| genii | Darkrift411: What is the name of your user which logs in there? | 07:28 |
| Darkrift411 | darkrift | 07:28 |
| Darkrift411 | i created a new user, but when trying to login to that user it gave error | 07:29 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: ok, is .xsession a bash script? | 07:29 |
| genii | Darkrift411: It seems then to be a permissions issue | 07:29 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Did you try to change permissions of the users home folder or similar lately? | 07:30 |
| Darkrift411 | nope | 07:30 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: probably, or a shell script (not necessarily bash), that's sourced by X | 07:30 |
| Me | Would it load up with permission from "xinit"? | 07:30 |
| Darkrift411 | ok, last things i did was install java vm (used isntructions on ubuntu forum) | 07:30 |
| Me | Or are you in an environment? | 07:30 |
| Me | YOu said it won't load right? | 07:30 |
| Darkrift411 | told me to create /usr/java, download the .bin and run it. which i did | 07:30 |
| Darkrift411 | i then installed a java web stats program | 07:31 |
| Darkrift411 | what wont load? | 07:31 |
| Me | KDE.. | 07:31 |
| Darkrift411 | it loads | 07:31 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: okay.. one stuff.. I need to start a program as root.. so the autoload will not handle it, right? | 07:31 |
| Darkrift411 | but after it loads, nothing works | 07:31 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Does: ls -la /home/darkrift show all the things there as owned by user darkrift and group darkrift ? | 07:32 |
| Darkrift411 | yes | 07:32 |
| Me | xinit, you would load as root. | 07:32 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: if you put it in /usr/share/env/, it might. if it doesn't, not sure how | 07:32 |
| Darkrift411 | well, one thing is owned by root and in group darkrift, but thats my .lightscribe folder | 07:32 |
| Darkrift411 | and that works fine | 07:33 |
| Darkrift411 | well, has worked fine | 07:33 |
| genii | OK | 07:33 |
| Darkrift411 | .nano_history is root root | 07:33 |
| simi | hi, i compiled my own kernel(build my drivers and other required module into kernel), i tried 3 difrent .configure (in some i do not disable any modules) Problem is that i do not have sound or network driver | 07:33 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Did part of the instructions involve adding the user to a new group? | 07:33 |
| simi | any ideea ? | 07:33 |
| Darkrift411 | no | 07:33 |
| Darkrift411 | i did hav eto do apt-get someting alternatives-java | 07:34 |
| Darkrift411 | and change someting in there | 07:34 |
| Darkrift411 | which didnt work, so i used a different method | 07:34 |
| genii | Hmm | 07:34 |
| genii | Wait. Is this kde3 or kde4 ? | 07:35 |
| Darkrift411 | 3 | 07:35 |
| genii | OK. So /kde would have been correct and not .kde4 | 07:35 |
| genii | bah typos | 07:35 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: okay, I iwll try it | 07:35 |
| genii | The / -> . | 07:35 |
| carib909 | Running kubuntu 8.04 and kde4 trying to set up samba but error in terminal after "sudo etc/samba/smb.conf" 'cannot connect to xserver' | 07:36 |
| Darkrift411 | is there a log somewhere i can read? | 07:37 |
| chackal_sjc | Jucato: there is no /usr/share/env | 07:37 |
| Darkrift411 | when kde is trying to load? | 07:37 |
| carib909 | Any ideas why, how to fix? | 07:37 |
| genii | Darkrift411: They would be mostly in /var/log | 07:37 |
| genii | Darkrift411: The xorg.0.log mostly be of interest I imagine | 07:37 |
| Jucato | chackal_sjc: you'll have to create it I think | 07:38 |
| Darkrift411 | doesnt exist | 07:38 |
| Darkrift411 | and nothing with *kde* | 07:38 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Xorg.0.log I forgot uppercase X in this instance | 07:38 |
| === ares is now known as Guest13321 | ||
| Darkrift411 | ahh | 07:39 |
| genii | Darkrift411: kde does not keep it's logs there | 07:39 |
| genii | Darkrift411: The logs of individual kde apps are in like /home/username/.kde/share/apps/ then appname directory. Then in there is a specific log to that specific kde app | 07:40 |
| Darkrift411 | dont see anything that loooks like an error near the end of the Xorg log | 07:40 |
| carib909 | Anyone well versed with samba? | 07:41 |
| genii | Darkrift411: There are other logs in the main /var/log which can also be useful for study. mostly: messages dmesg user.log syslog faillog and daemon.log | 07:43 |
| Darkrift411 | dmesg looks normal | 07:43 |
| carib909 | genii good morning | 07:44 |
| genii | dmesg is mainly for hardware issues | 07:44 |
| genii | carib909: Hello. Although 2:44AM in my case could sort of still be evening :) | 07:44 |
| carib909 | Only 12:44 here in Cali. | 07:45 |
| carib909 | any idea why my editor cannot connect to Xserver? | 07:45 |
| genii | What is the editor named? | 07:46 |
| carib909 | genii I was using kate | 07:47 |
| genii | carib909: Did you by accident use sudo to run it sometime previous? | 07:47 |
| carib909 | genii sudo kate /etc/samba/smb.conf | 07:47 |
| genii | Instead of for instance in this case proper kdesu | 07:47 |
| carib909 | I sure have. Is that a bad thing? | 07:48 |
| genii | Yes, a bad thing but not irrepairable | 07:48 |
| carib909 | genii please advise why and what to do next time... | 07:48 |
| carib909 | oic | 07:49 |
| Darkrift411 | i created a new user using useradd, how do i make it so that user can be loaded with kde? | 07:49 |
| Darkrift411 | right now i get "could not start kstartupconfig. check your installatoin" | 07:49 |
| genii | carib909: Always run KDE graphical apps with kdesu when you wish to use them in admin mode. For gnome apps always use gksu | 07:49 |
| carib909 | aight...thanks | 07:49 |
| carib909 | genii so now I broke something... how do I fix it? | 07:50 |
| genii | carib909: What is the username you login as? Things in their home directory need to be changed all back to their permissions regarding kate | 07:50 |
| carib909 | ok, so if I used "carib", how do I reset permissions? | 07:51 |
| genii | carib909: Then like: sudo chown -R carib:carib /home/carib/.kde | 07:52 |
| carib909 | genii sudo and not kdesudo? | 07:52 |
| Darkrift411 | kde has no reinstall or restore? | 07:52 |
| genii | carib909: sudo is for command line commands. kdesu if for running graphical apps as temporary elevated privelege | 07:53 |
| carib909 | genii ok, let me try it.. | 07:53 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Unfortunately not really. You might want to last ditch try something like sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop | 07:53 |
| Darkrift411 | will that require internet? | 07:54 |
| genii | Emphasis on "last ditch" part | 07:54 |
| Darkrift411 | well at this point, im there | 07:54 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Not usually | 07:54 |
| Darkrift411 | im in 3 linux/kde related channels and nobody has any other ideas | 07:54 |
| genii | Darkrift411: You might want to make cdrom the only repository | 07:54 |
| carib909 | genii error says "chown: invalid option -- r" | 07:55 |
| genii | carib909: upper case Rwith a - directly before it | 07:56 |
| genii | eg: -R | 07:56 |
| Darkrift411 | fsck forced a check on my drive... letting that finish | 07:56 |
| carib909 | genii it accepted that command | 07:57 |
| carib909 | now kdesudo kate? | 07:57 |
| Darkrift411 | if i boot to a kde live cd, is there a way to restore or anything? | 07:57 |
| Darkrift411 | i cant believe there is nothing i can do here | 07:57 |
| genii | carib909: Good. alt-f2 then kdesu kate /file/place/name.here | 07:57 |
| Darkrift411 | this isnt windows..... it shouldnt just die on me | 07:57 |
| Darkrift411 | and yes..... drive errors it seems | 07:57 |
| genii | carib909: kdesu is generally better at this time to use than kdesudo | 07:57 |
| Darkrift411 | exception Emask and buffer io errors on sda1 | 07:58 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Hmm. Maybe on partition if separate than / whic could be /home or so | 07:58 |
| carib909 | genii type exactly that? or do I need to change to specific file names? | 07:59 |
| Darkrift411 | automatic fsck failed. manual must be peformed then system restarted, root fs mounted in r/o mode. | 07:59 |
| genii | carib909: Well, put for instance /etc/fstab if you want to edit /etc/fstab or so on. Use common sense | 07:59 |
| genii | Darkrift411: Weird, we already did this | 07:59 |
| Darkrift411 | yeah | 08:00 |
| Darkrift411 | last check took less then a second | 08:00 |
| Darkrift411 | this one took a few minutes | 08:00 |
| Darkrift411 | and the manual one im doing now is taking longer | 08:00 |
| carib909 | genii my sense is not as common as yours. I don't know what file I need to edit to fix the problem; I am guessing /etc/samba//smb.conf? | 08:01 |
| Darkrift411 | well, the good news is I have a dead laptop (faulty power jack) that i can take the 120g drive from and use | 08:01 |
| genii | Maybe some errors developed in the meantime | 08:01 |
| Darkrift411 | problem is i have my install perfect :( | 08:01 |
| Darkrift411 | how do i make fsck fix problems if fs is in read only mode? | 08:02 |
| Darkrift411 | live cd? | 08:02 |
| simi | anyone compiled a custom kernel here? | 08:02 |
| genii | carib909: If you are trying to configure samba then likely /etc/samba/smb.conf yes. However edit with caution. In command line after saving changes run: testparm to see that the file is corrctly formed before restarting the samba process | 08:02 |
| genii | Darkrift411: No, the fsck is run as root and so doesn't care about ro mounts. It is examining the /dev/name usually | 08:03 |
| Darkrift411 | i c | 08:03 |
| Darkrift411 | so it CAN fix errors? | 08:03 |
| genii | Darkrift411: The readonly on mounted partition is so that things are not dynamically changing on the partition being scanned WHILE in process of scanning | 08:04 |
| Darkrift411 | i c | 08:04 |
| genii | This leads to circular errors, etc | 08:04 |
| simi | is mysql requird in kubuntu? who uses it? can i stop it to start or remove it? | 08:08 |
| genii | simi: 1) no 2) many people use it 3) you can stop or start it by it's startup script in /etc/init.d like: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop 4) You can remove it through the package manager | 08:11 |
| simi | genii: thx, i will stop it starting automaticaly, maybe i will need it sometime | 08:12 |
| simi | genii: i belived that is posible that some kde apps store data in mysql tables | 08:13 |
| genii | simi: Yes, there are many applications which can do this | 08:13 |
| simi | genii: but not the core application no? | 08:14 |
| genii | simi: You mean KDE itself? | 08:14 |
| simi | genii: i seen you here almost all the time, are you working for kubuntu ? | 08:14 |
| simi | genii: yes i meant kde iteself | 08:15 |
| genii | simi: No, I am not even a member yet although likely I could be accepted for that if I made an application. I just use ubuntu a lot and so like to assist and socialise a bit while at my regular work, or sometimes from home as now. | 08:16 |
| simi | genii: what i like in kde are the apps :kate, amarok, adept , , nice application, | 08:16 |
| genii | simi: As for kde itself using mysql , i have not an idea. | 08:16 |
| simi | genii: then i will try to see what happens, o you compiled ever a kernel? | 08:17 |
| genii | simi: When i used other unix-like operating systems I compiled many kernels. But I do not bother much in ubuntu since this makes all the packages unavailable | 08:18 |

| genii | !hi | leba | 08:18 |
| ubottu | leba: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 08:18 |
| leba | If I want to copy the entirely contents from a windows partition from a free one using linux which command I should be using please ? | 08:19 |
| simi | genii: when you compiled the kernel did you tried to optimize it and build your drivers into the kernel to not be loaded as modules | 08:19 |
| genii | simi: Yes, i did those things. | 08:20 |
| genii | leba: You want to copy your windows files to an empty partition someplace? | 08:20 |
| jdbart | is there a way to make my laptop moniter not come on when it's closed and i push the multimedia buttons on the front? | 08:20 |
| leba | genii, yep. | 08:20 |
| simi | genii: and did your kernel boot faster? i made the same thing but i have problems with the sound card and network and maye other | 08:21 |
| Darkrift411 | so those errors in fsck mean hd failure and not just bad files? | 08:21 |
| leba | genii, in reality I want to move everything from d: to c: for example. | 08:21 |
| Darkrift411 | meaning unfixable? | 08:21 |
| genii | leba: There are 2 possible answers depending on what you intend. The C: and D: ideas/metaphors do not exist as such in linux | 08:22 |
| simi | genii: i do not know what steps, data to collect to find out where is the problem | 08:22 |
| genii | Darkrift411: My guess is yes impending HD booboo soon | 08:22 |
| genii | !compile | simi | 08:22 |
| ubottu | simi: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 08:22 |
| ubuntu_ | . | 08:23 |
| leba | genii, yeah I know. I want to copy/move *everything* which is in sdb to sdb for example. | 08:23 |
| genii | leba: In linux you splice devices to a directory name then they are available when you list the contents of that directory. This is called mounting | 08:23 |
| leba | genii, how do you call a hdd partition on Linux ? | 08:24 |
| genii | leba: If the destination is same size/larger you could use dd. Other option is to mount both partitions (source and destination) then to do an archival type cp command from one to the other | 08:24 |
| genii | leba: hdd in linux normally would be 4th IDE device | 08:25 |
| genii | eg: slave on second IDE cable | 08:25 |
| ubuntu_ | I wanna mount an encrypted filesystem, but after giving the password the system says: IOCTL: LOOP_SET_DEVICE Unknown Argument | 08:26 |
| genii | leba: dd usage is simplest method, does a bit by bit copy including master boot record and so on. | 08:26 |
| leba | genii, if I choose to use cp command it would transfer *everything* from one partition to another ? | 08:26 |
| simi | genii: i will restart now , i will try to extract more info about the problem | 08:27 |
| ubuntu_ | anyone an idea? | 08:27 |
| genii | leba: Some Windows names are not compatible and also there is a recursing depth of directories so perhaps not all things would get copied | 08:27 |
| leba | genii, so there is no way to copy the full contents from one windows partition to another using linux ? | 08:28 |
| elo_ | u'll get errors on certain files | 08:28 |
| elo_ | i always do | 08:28 |
| leba | and how about a *blind* copy... | 08:29 |
| genii | leba: The dd command then. Syntax is like: sudo dd if=/dev/inputplace of=/dev/outputplace | 08:29 |
| leba | something like copy everything | 08:29 |
| genii | leba: There is nothing like a "blind copy". The closest thing is like cp -dpR source destination | 08:30 |
| leba | genii, but the dev units have to have the same size or doesn't matter ? | 08:30 |
| genii | leba: But cp chokes on directory dpths Windows allows as well as non standard characters in filenames and directories like !@#$%^&* and so on | 08:31 |
| leba | genii, dd will solve my problem, do you think ? | 08:31 |
| genii | leba: So log as destination device is larger than source device dd makes an exact copy of original. If the destination is larger, the extra space becomes unpartitioned hd area | 08:32 |
| genii | leba: You can use dd to copy a HD to a file as well, not just another partition | 08:32 |
| genii | leba: Then you can loopmount the file as if it was a HD | 08:32 |
| leba | genii, both source and destination devices have free amouth of space. | 08:33 |
| genii | leba: With dd it doesnt know about "free space" on source. If sda1 has 100Gb free it doesn't care it copies those 100Gb as well to the destination | 08:33 |
| genii | It's an *exact* copy | 08:34 |
| genii | leba: So if source partition is say 50Gb but 40 is unused you still need 50Gb or larger partition to copy it to, not 10Gb | 08:34 |
| genii | leba: To use dd to copy to a filename, use like: sudo dd if=dev/sda1 of=/somedirectory/filename.img where in this case sda1 gets archived to a file called filename.img which could be mounted like a hard dive | 08:36 |
| genii | * hard drive | 08:36 |
| leba | genii, sorry but I don't think I follow your idea. Why create a .img file ? | 08:38 |
| leba | genii, what I intent to do is copy windows from one disk partition to another. | 08:38 |
| genii | leba: Because you don't for instance need to have a partition set aside to devote to the copy of your files | 08:38 |
| genii | leba: You can restore a file image of a hard drive back to a partition for instance as well | 08:39 |
| genii | with: sudo dd if=/home/me/myoldwindrive.img /dev/sda1 for instance | 08:40 |
| leba | genii, I could use xcopy from windows or robocoy from vista, but I was thinking in to use a neutral system to do that... | 08:40 |
| genii | leba: I've already shown you the most powerful archiving tool there is | 08:40 |

| dotancohen | Seems that way | 08:45 |
| leba | genii, if I intend to download a ubuntu live cd version can I use the desktop one or alternate would be better or none of those ? | 08:45 |
| dotancohen | I had to compile lots of other stuff too | 08:45 |
| dotancohen | Like exiv2 libgphoto and others | 08:45 |
| dotancohen | I did compile kipiplugins, but I cannot get around this error | 08:46 |
| dotancohen | Any ideas? | 08:46 |
| dotancohen | Leba, the alternative CD does not have a LiveCD option | 08:46 |
| dotancohen | So use the Desktop CD | 08:46 |
| genii | leba: The desktop one boots up into a version of ubuntu which runs from the cdrom and allows a nice graphical way to install. This is good for most uses. If problems are experienced then the tactic is to go then to the alternate which offers drivers for more equipment and can work in most scenarios | 08:46 |

| jdbart | is there a way to make my laptop moniter not come on when it's closed and i push the multimedia buttons on the front? | 08:48 |
| genii | dotancohen: I would have recommended instead of svn to only add the deb-src repository of Intrepid Ibex into your sources and then download the alredy patched-for-ubuntu source code and try that under Hardy | 08:48 |
| dotancohen | genii: I am triaging bugs for digikam, so SVN it must be! | 08:48 |

| === bascule is now known as [bascule] | ||
| dotancohen | I doubt that you have a proprietary hard drive! | 08:51 |
| genii | Darkrift411: At heart they are all either SATA or mini IDE laptop kind. But there are 3 main different kinds of connectors they generally put onto the standard drive for their specific laptop internal plugs | 08:51 |
| genii | Their converters can usually be detached with a small Philips scredriver and re-used on a standard drive | 08:52 |
| genii | leba: You're welcome, hope to see you soon here assisting ;) | 08:53 |

| romunov | i can't even open files without them being read only | 10:15 |
| leba | Seven_Away, no, two different disk partitions, same disk. | 10:15 |
| romunov | how the hell can developers allow this? i don't have time to tinker with my computer all day :/ | 10:15 |
| leba | genii, so the is no way ? | 10:15 |
| genii | romunov: Does: mount command show / mounted as ro instead of rw or so? Possibly /home as ro ? | 10:15 |
| genii | leba: I'm searching for one but no immediate way comes to mind. Normally to compare files the app diff is used. But it was designed in a way that it wats to load all into memory then compare. So if your swap is smaller than the two things to compare it will always fail horribly. | 10:17 |
| romunov | this is my fstab file partaining the drive i'm trying write to: /dev/sda1 /data vfat auto,fmask=111,umask=000 0 0 | 10:18 |
| leba | genii, yeah, ok. I understand. I will be checking for it as well . | 10:18 |
| bibstha | questions for kde4 goes here? | 10:18 |
| romunov | here is the mount output: /dev/sdb1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 10:19 |
| romunov | /dev/sda1 on /data type vfat (rw,fmask=111,umask=000) | 10:19 |
| genii | romunov: Remove the part "auto" since it conflicts with the next 2 options given | 10:19 |
| romunov | these are my two harddrives | 10:19 |
| romunov | ok | 10:20 |
| genii | romunov: Also filemask of 111 gives files 666 attributes | 10:20 |
| romunov | is that good or bad or what? :) | 10:21 |
| genii | romunov: Should be fine for files which just need read/write and you do not want to be executable | 10:22 |
| romunov | ok | 10:22 |
| genii | romunov: May want to add option of uid=1000 if you are first default name created | 10:22 |
| romunov | so i save the fstab and try to remount? | 10:23 |
| genii | romunov: Just sudo mount -a should do | 10:23 |
| genii | romunov: (after saving fstab) | 10:23 |
| genii | bibstha: No, #kubuntu-kde4 | 10:23 |
| romunov | ok, this is my new fstab line: /dev/sda1 /data vfat fmask=111,umask=000 0 0,uid=1000 | 10:24 |
| romunov | does order of commands matter? | 10:24 |
| genii | romunov: No, the two separate 0 must be last things | 10:24 |
| romunov | ok | 10:24 |
| genii | Yes it matters | 10:24 |
| genii | One sec | 10:24 |
| romunov | /dev/sda1 /data vfat fmask=111,uid=1000,umask=000 0 0 | 10:25 |

| genii | romunov: This should be better: /dev/sda1 /data vfat users,fmask=111,umask=000,uid=1000 0 0 | 10:25 |
| romunov | ok | 10:25 |
| genii | romunov: But yes, you get the idea now. I added users so that regular users could mount it | 10:25 |
| romunov | romunov@lycanidae:~$ sudo mount -a | 10:27 |
| romunov | mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist | 10:27 |
| romunov | can't umount the drive i'm trying to write on | 10:28 |
| genii | romunov: Try: sudo mount -o remount -a instead | 10:30 |
| romunov | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 10:31 |
| genii | romunov: If you have something using files or such on the affected mount open right now , close it first since that means system will see it as in use and refuse to un-mount it | 10:31 |
| romunov | i closed all the applications that i think were using the data on the mounted drive | 10:32 |
| genii | romunov: "specify filesystem type" indicates wrong type of directive like vfat or else missing one. Please pastebin the fstab for scrutiny | 10:32 |

| Agent_bob | ext3grep for ext3 *it's new and beta* | 11:04 |
| genii | hehe | 11:04 |
| Agent_bob | but it does show promice. i hope that someone develops it into a full robust data recovery tool for ext# fs's | 11:05 |
| * genii waits for "xfsgrep" | 11:07 | |
| Agent_bob | one thing that it despretly needs is a switch to read an alternate superblock. it uses the main superblock and if the fs is corrupt that is generally not the one you want. | 11:07 |
| Nix3r | ok | 11:08 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Program it in :) | 11:08 |
| Nix3r | the partitions were fat32 btw | 11:08 |
| Agent_bob | genii i do not C++ | 11:08 |
| Jucato | C? | 11:09 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r heh. restore the partitions and use dos's undelete | 11:09 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato yeah it's writen in C | 11:09 |
| Agent_bob | or C++ | 11:09 |
| Agent_bob | or what ever i really didn't pay much attention cause i don't C | 11:10 |
| * Agent_bob is blind and doesn't V | 11:10 | |
| Agent_bob | C | 11:10 |
| Jucato | :P | 11:10 |
| Nix3r | k | 11:10 |
| Agent_bob | but he does typo | 11:10 |
| Nix3r | Agent_bob thats a windows app? | 11:10 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r it's a ms dos app | 11:10 |
| genii | If fat32 and not ntfs then partition type of b and not 6 would be in order | 11:11 |
| Nix3r | k | 11:11 |
| Nix3r | i hope its free | 11:11 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r used to be provided with all dos installations back in the day | 11:11 |
| Nix3r | i just need a powerful tool. let me try | 11:12 |
| shreyas | whois | 11:12 |
| shreyas | hello anybody there ? | 11:12 |
| Agent_bob | up to and including 7 iirc which win9x ran on. | 11:12 |
| shreyas | hello | 11:12 |
| Agent_bob | shreyas | 11:12 |
| shreyas | hello agent bob | 11:13 |
| shreyas | yup | 11:13 |
| shreyas | hello agent bob | 11:13 |
| shreyas | u there ? | 11:13 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r also you might ask in ##windows someone in there may know a good tool | 11:13 |
| shreyas | hello anybody there please reply | 11:13 |
| genii | shreyas: We all see you fine. Is there some question regarding kubuntu you wanted to ask? | 11:13 |
| Agent_bob | "no, i'm not there." | 11:13 |
| shreyas | thanks for replying | 11:14 |
| shreyas | well | 11:14 |
| shreyas | wat i wanted to ask about kubuntu ut | 11:14 |
| shreyas | is | 11:14 |
| genii | !enter | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 11:14 |
| shreyas | in kubuntu there is no firewall | 11:14 |
| * Agent_bob nudges ubotu in that dirrection too late | 11:14 | |
| shreyas | how can we install firewall in kubuntu or enable it | 11:14 |
| shreyas | ? | 11:14 |
| Agent_bob | !guarddog | 11:15 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 11:15 |
| shreyas | ok thank u | 11:15 |
| shreyas | and one more thing | 11:15 |
| Nix3r | Agent_bob i have test disk. can you guide a bit how to use it | 11:15 |
| Agent_bob | and six more lines | 11:15 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r ummm man testdisk ? | 11:16 |
| shreyas | is there a tool for converting media formats in kubuntu coz all players dont support mp3 n avi | 11:16 |
| Nix3r | Agent_bob iam just using testdisk. i dont see the other name | 11:16 |
| genii | ffmpeg and mencoder mostly. But try to install the codecs for those other formats from medibuntu | 11:16 |
| genii | !codecs | shreyas | 11:17 |
| ubottu | shreyas: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 11:17 |
| Agent_bob | lol i just noticed that the testdisk programmer wrote it for M$ the switches are /blah | 11:17 |
| shreyas | medibuntu u mean from where adobe reader comes from right ? | 11:17 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r you know about man pages ? | 11:17 |
| genii | shreyas: Sort of | 11:17 |
| shreyas | ok | 11:17 |
| shreyas | got it | 11:17 |
| Nix3r | Agent_bob ya.. | 11:18 |
| shreyas | and one more thing abou kubuntu | 11:18 |
| shreyas | when my system boots up | 11:18 |
| shreyas | d compiz effects crash of slows down the gui | 11:18 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r man testdisk and while you run it, be sure to read all it's saying to you. | 11:18 |
| shreyas | when i kill the process it works fine i mean all windows move without drag | 11:19 |
| Nix3r | ok | 11:19 |
| shreyas | why is it so? do i need to install new patches r remove effects ? | 11:19 |
| Nix3r | Agent_bob thanks! | 11:19 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r welcome. | 11:19 |
| genii | I'm thinkin !enter ain't gettin through | 11:19 |
| shreyas | genii : pardon ? shud i repeat ? | 11:20 |
| genii | !compiz | shreyas | 11:20 |
| ubottu | shreyas: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion | 11:20 |
| Agent_bob | genii i'm agreeing with you. some things don't soke in very fast... | 11:20 |
| shreyas | shud i remove compiz and install compiz fusion? | 11:20 |
| genii | shreyas: Please don't make one statement over many lines. | 11:20 |
| shreyas | ok sorry for inconvenience | 11:21 |
| genii | shreyas: We do not support Compiz in this channel but the informatin above can diect you to the channel which has assistance for that | 11:21 |
| shreyas | @ genii : ok thanks a lot for all those rest of the solutions | 11:22 |
| Agent_bob | Nix3r one thing i found about testdisk that i liked was that it does seem to follow the "safty first" approach, it won't change anything without asking you first. | 11:22 |
| shreyas | hope to see ya soon | 11:22 |
| genii | shreyas: You're welcome and best luck with Compiz issues | 11:22 |
| shreyas | @genii : bye thanks again :-) | 11:22 |
| shreyas | ya will find out somehow .... :-) | 11:23 |
| Nix3r | Agent_bob k | 11:23 |
| * Agent_bob admits that testdisk is totally useless on his "partitionless" system though... ;/ | 11:24 | |
| genii | hence the fdisk solution I proposed earlier to restore partition type | 11:25 |
| corpsicle | so um | 11:27 |
| corpsicle | amarok gives me errors when i try and start it | 11:28 |
| Agent_bob | genii not his mine. | 11:28 |
| Agent_bob | genii testdisk is more likely to work for him than fdisk but neither would help me. | 11:28 |
| genii | generalised errors or something a bit more specific? | 11:29 |
| genii | corpsicle: generalised errors or something a bit more specific? | 11:29 |
| enaut | corpsicle: you may start it in console and copy its output to a pasteservice | 11:29 |
| corpsicle | yea | 11:30 |
| corpsicle | ok | 11:30 |
| corpsicle | i got something about sockets when kubuntu booted | 11:30 |
| Agent_bob | Jucato do you happen to know what part of "kde" k3b uses? | 11:30 |
| corpsicle | and there are leftover amarok processes | 11:30 |
| corpsicle | and <defunkt> ruby processes | 11:30 |
| corpsicle | which i think have to do with amarok | 11:30 |
| corpsicle | and when i try to start it from commandline now it just doesnt do anything =P | 11:30 |
| genii | corpsicle: Use kdesu amarok | 11:31 |
| corpsicle | is that some sudo thing ? | 11:33 |
| corpsicle | because it started just fine now, but without my collection | 11:33 |
| enaut | yes it is some sudo... now we know that you canfigs are broken | 11:33 |
| enaut | *configs | 11:34 |
| corpsicle | actually no, it works fine now =) | 11:34 |
| corpsicle | starting amarok normally and then quitting it seems to have removed all the little shitty processes | 11:34 |
| enaut | ah ok | 11:34 |
| enaut | even better | 11:34 |

| chi_ | of casue | 14:30 |
| simi | i am reading but i am not understend | 14:30 |
| chi_ | its 4 primary | 14:30 |

| hatman_ | simi: are you having trouble with dual monitor too ? | 14:40 |
| chi_ | simi, you can extend a bootloader to a partition, and then you can load up to 64 different OSes ... but if you even dont know how many partitions are bootable, this might be very hard to do ... | 14:40 |
| simi | hatman_: no i wanted to modify something to the video driver | 14:41 |

| gmorphis | I didnt think anything of it until I went to open eclipse and found that no menu items worked | 15:13 |
| gmorphis | then I clicked on the Konsole desktop item and got the KLaucher error.. | 15:14 |
| gmorphis | I've ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, everything looks god | 15:14 |
| gmorphis | I get a dcop error when I run dcopserver, something about .ICEauthority, I rm'd that file, still get error | 15:15 |

| Lynoure | Is there any software for measuring one's normal typing speed? E.g. software that would either count all keyboard presses or hook to OO.o, or an editor? | 15:44 |
| ubunturos | Lynoure: there's one called Ktouch, which could be helpful for one to determine his/her typing speed | 15:46 |
| Lynoure | KTouch only measures your speed at typing the scrolling text it gives. Not normal typing situation. | 15:47 |

| carib909 | Adept manager says some other application is using the packaging system database (nothing running) and attempts to fix it returns this. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/30996/ Can anyone help? | 19:37 |
| Taggnostr | the bot should have a fix but I don't know the command | 19:38 |
| Taggnostr | !adept | 19:38 |
| ubottu | adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto | 19:38 |
| Taggnostr | !adept fix | 19:38 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 19:38 |
| Taggnostr | maybe this one | 19:38 |
| carib909 | The solution the bot gave returns an error "unknown option -vki" | 19:41 |

| carib909 | Also dpkg: status database area is locked by another process. How can I fix this? | 19:42 |

| carib909 | no process running | 19:43 |
| bmk789 | is there a way i can set a directory for konqueror to not load any previews for files? | 19:43 |
| PhilRod | carib909: the bot's solution is two commands - the first (presumably) is to find out what processes are using the package list, and the second relies on that having happened successfully | 19:43 |
| PhilRod | carib909: so the first command is failing (with "unknown option"), which means the second doesn't work | 19:44 |
| Zopiac | how do i get Compiz Fusion working? | 19:44 |
| PhilRod | so, the upshot is, we should go look at "man fuser" to see if we can work out what the correct command is | 19:44 |
| enaut | carib909: simple thing could be restarting... if possible | 19:45 |
| carib909 | Thanks guys. The first command worked | 19:46 |
| PhilRod | carib909: what version of kubuntu are you using? | 19:46 |
| carib909 | Thanks guys. The first command worked | 19:46 |

| PhilRod | so, knetworkmanager correctly configures my wireless network when it starts. But, I save and restore my kde session by default. This means that my apps get started before knetworkmanager has set up the network | 20:02 |

| Darkrift411 | i dont even remember all the stuff i had installed | 20:17 |
| genii | !clone | 20:17 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 20:17 |
| Darkrift411 | nice | 20:17 |
| genii | The clone thing will replicate your packages. If you copy /home into same username on new box all else should stay same as well | 20:18 |
| Darkrift411 | except that part of my home folder is corrupted :( | 20:18 |

| mefisto__ | I'm alive | 22:18 |
| GS3User | yes | 22:18 |
| l3x | why is it so quiet here? | 22:18 |
| apachelogger | l3x: everyone partying I guess ;-) | 22:18 |
| l3x | wow | 22:18 |
| l3x | i am lonely and bored, so i said to myself, hey, u have konversation | 22:19 |
| NotWired | i'm using kubuntu gutsy... is there an easy way to upgrade to firefox 3.0? the only version i see in the repos is a development version | 22:20 |
| jaakkome | Is there an easyish way to mount a remote samba connection as a directory? | 22:21 |
| jaakkome | Like I can connect to smb://foo on dolphin, but I'd like to mount it to /media/samba-foo or something | 22:22 |
| Valros | hey | 22:22 |
| Valros | what are the differences between installing kubuntu or installing ubuntu then kde 4 | 22:22 |
| naman | 8-) | 22:24 |
| l3x | Valros: there is no difference | 22:25 |
| l3x | Valros: but why? | 22:25 |
| apachelogger | NotWired: I don't think so | 22:25 |
| naman | someone speak in spanish? | 22:25 |
| l3x | they use the same repos, the only difference is the desktop environment and programs... | 22:25 |
| NotWired | i was afraid of that apachelogger | 22:25 |
| apachelogger | NotWired: I would suggest to upgrade, but maybe you can find some unoffcial repsitory with 3.0 | 22:25 |
| apachelogger | I doubt that though | 22:25 |
| apachelogger | jaakkome: you can use the disk management tool in systemsettings | 22:26 |
| NotWired | i'm afraid i don't have enough free disk space to upgrade | 22:26 |
| Valros | just wondering | 22:26 |
| Valros | putting it on a laptop | 22:26 |
| NotWired | i've got 2.6GB free | 22:26 |
| apachelogger | depending on how much software you got installed, this might be just enough ;-) | 22:27 |
| NotWired | apachelogger: i'm not sure i can risk it :) i guess i'll just use the mozilla files directly | 22:27 |
| NotWired | cheers mate | 22:27 |

| GS3User | question: kubuntu 8.04, kde3, no compiz fusion... my screen resolution resets itself to 800x600 after every reboot (as opposed to the 1280x1024 that i set it to using nvidia-settings) | 23:48 |
| GS3User | actually, this might 640x480, i'm not really sure | 23:48 |
| cyberponix | has anyone elses thumbdrives and or dvd roms stopped working out of the blue? | 23:50 |
| cadoo | GS3User: are you hitting Save to X Configuration File after changing setting? | 23:51 |
| GS3User | cyberponix: just plugged mine in, it still works | 23:51 |
| GS3User | cadoo: yes, and i'm running it using sudo as well | 23:51 |
| not-alone | POSIX Message Queues (POSIX_MQUEUE) is this option need for the desktop system? | 23:52 |
| mefisto__ | GS3User: could you pastebin your xorg.conf ? | 23:52 |
| zabbadapp | GS3User: can you change res in system settings -> monitor & display ? | 23:53 |
| GS3User | zabbadapp: no, i have to use nvidia-settings | 23:53 |
| GS3User | mefisto: my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m5af70e25 | 23:54 |
| zabbadapp | try to workaround the problem by using "nvidia-settings -l" to load your config on start up | 23:55 |
| GS3User | how do i do that? | 23:55 |
| memo_ | please watch my emo: http://emogochi.eu/index.php?page=show&id=11347&lang=en thx:D | 23:56 |
| zabbadapp | actually, i don't know the proper place to put shellscripts to autostart in kubuntu ... | 23:56 |
| hellhound | i just installed kde4.1 and i accidentally removed my bottom panel. i tried adding a new panel but it always appears on the top of the desktop. how can i move this to the bottom? | 23:57 |
| GS3User | hellhound: i think if you right click on it and choose configure (or something like that), you can choose its location | 23:58 |
| hellhound | zabbadapp: if i understand you correctly you can place scripts in the <home>/.kde/Autostart folder | 23:58 |
| zabbadapp | hey, now i remember it when you mention it! :-) | 23:58 |
| hellhound | GS3User: ahhh thank you... it was right click and go to Panel settings than hold-click and drag ont he panelsettings bar.... thank you | 23:59 |
| GS3User | so now i do what? | 23:59 |
| GS3User | hellhound: np | 23:59 |
