[00:00] <zabbadapp> GS3User: try the following: echo "nvidia-settings -l" > ~/.kde/Autostart/fix_nv_res.sh; chmod u+x ~/.kde/Autostart/fix_nv_res.sh
[00:01] <cadoo> hellhound: right click panel setting or hit the cashew on the right of the panel. there should be an add widgets button click in the black bar beside that and you can drag the panel around
[00:01] <hellhound> cadoo: yes GS3User helped me figure it out.  thank you
[00:02] <GS3User> zabbadapp: okay, i put that into konsole and hit enter. didn't get any feedback. think it'll fix things?
[00:02] <zabbadapp> GS3User: you will get a small shellscript that hopefully loads the nv-setting ...
[00:02] <hellhound> does anyone know where the folder icon is???  for some reason all my folder icons disappered in the kmenu
[00:03] <hellhound> ahhh found it
[00:03] <zabbadapp> GS3User: i'm not sure if it needs a "shebang" to run... but if you restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace .. all you apps will be closed) and you get no difference .. try to edit that file (fix_nv_res.sh) and add the following line first: #!/bin/sh
[00:14] <_aib> i'm getting a cannot find kstartupconfig error when starting kubuntu
[00:14] <_aib> i can't start a browser unfortunately
[00:14] <_aib> help?
[00:15] <greeg> hi
[00:15] <greeg> how can i remove kde?  i prefer commandline only
[00:16] <_aib> i think sudo apt-get remove kdelibs kdecore would do it
[00:16] <nicolas_> bonjour
[00:16] <greeg> i dont have much disk space on this pc.
[00:17] <_aib> "could not start kstartupconfig. check your installation" is the exact error I get
[00:17] <nicolas_> pourquoi avec kubuntu il n y a pas les meme logiciels que ubuntu?
[00:17] <_aib> nicolas_ translate.google.com
[00:18] <dthacker> !fr | nicolas_
[00:19] <bascule> _aib: is it a new user, or have you copied a users folder?
[00:19] <greeg> apt-get remove kdm  #doesent seem to do the trick
[00:19] <greeg> kde is still there
[00:19] <bascule> try sudo chown -R user /home/user
[00:20] <bascule> aptitude --purge remove kdelibs
[00:20] <bascule> but it is still a bit messy :/
[00:24] <_aib> bascule, that didn't fix it
[00:24] <_aib> bascule, i think dcop isn't starting
[00:24] <_aib> this worked for me the last time i tried to log in :/
[00:24] <bascule> ok, change of hostname?
[00:26] <_aib> could possibly be a network issue yes..let me see if i can tell
[00:27] <bascule> I am thinking stale sockets in /tmp and those are bound to the hostname
[00:27] <tmc-virus> hey all
[00:28] <bascule> hello
[00:28] <tmc-virus> I got a problem... i have kubuntu and im sharing a folder i can reach it but the problem is i have desktop applet and it says server inactive! and if i share my ip it cant connect how and what to forward help:$
[00:29] <matisse> has anyone an idea why k3b is running, but no window is showing up ? (k3b is really running, no error in bash)
[00:29] <tmc-virus> i have samba allready running
[00:30] <bascule> the applet is a different thing from samba
[00:30] <tmc-virus> yes but mate how i get it to work
[00:30] <tmc-virus> i want to share my ext HDD
[00:30] <bascule> if it is the applet I think it is, well that applet is not one I remember off the top of my head
[00:30] <tmc-virus> 500 GB
[00:30] <tmc-virus> i want people can reach it if they tick in my ip
[00:30] <tmc-virus> like sort ftp
[00:31] <bascule> do you want samba or the applet?
[00:31] <tmc-virus> if it runs:D
[00:31] <bascule> install kdenetwork and kdeadmin
[00:31] <bascule> it is very easy after that
[00:31] <tmc-virus> how mate in terminal
[00:31] <tmc-virus> ?
[00:31] <bascule> any way, use adept if you are new
[00:31] <tmc-virus> had ubuntu
[00:32] <tmc-virus> now kubuntu
[00:32] <tmc-virus> but i have to forward ports at routeR?
[00:32] <bascule> use kmyfirewall or firestarter
[00:32] <tmc-virus> wut it does?
[00:32] <bascule> both should have default samba templates in them
[00:33] <tmc-virus> u think
[00:33] <tmc-virus> it gonna work?
[00:33] <bascule> uh huh :)
[00:33] <bascule> works for me

[00:33] <tmc-virus> i need to run kdenetwork
[00:33] <tmc-virus> or smtng
[00:33] <tmc-virus> ?
[00:34] <bascule> kdenetork is an extension for KDE as is kdeadmin, the give config tools to help set things up, like file shareing
[00:34] <tmc-virus> hey installed it
[00:34] <tmc-virus> how to run now?
[00:34] <bascule> it runs
[00:35] <bascule> try alt+f2 kcontrol
[00:35] <tmc-virus> i get console
[00:35] <tmc-virus> then?
[00:35] <bascule> internet and network -> samba
[00:35] <tmc-virus> samba not in it
[00:36] <bascule> you added kdeadmin?
[00:36] <tmc-virus> ye
[00:38] <tmc-virus> hmm
[00:38] <bascule> well I am trying to remember where it comes from now, I was sure it was those 2
[00:38] <bascule> I have it in my kcontrol you see, but I have all the kde extras installed
[00:39] <tmc-virus> kcontrol
[00:39] <tmc-virus> how to find that?

[00:46] <Echtelion78> hello
[00:46] <Echtelion78> I got a serious problem and it is getting late
[00:46]  * Echtelion78 playing madness
[00:47] <Echtelion78> can anybody assist?
[00:48] <tmc-virus> yes
[00:48] <tmc-virus> give your problem
[00:48] <Echtelion78> thx
[00:48] <Echtelion78> I got a pc which has a fatal crash
[00:48] <tmc-virus> ok, explain more
[00:48] <tmc-virus> give information
[00:48] <Echtelion78> I can't start windows and I can't boot ubuntu
[00:49] <Echtelion78> I want to dualboot it
[00:49] <tmc-virus> you got a dual boot
[00:49] <Echtelion78> i got no boot at all
[00:49] <tmc-virus> does it gives some errors?
[00:49] <tmc-virus> all = gone
[00:49] <Echtelion78> yes a blinking cursor
[00:49] <tmc-virus> To bad mate
[00:49] <tmc-virus> you have to install all again
[00:49] <Echtelion78> when I boot from ubuntu 7.1
[00:50] <tmc-virus> yes..
[00:50] <Echtelion78> live it halts
[00:50] <tmc-virus> the disc is it clean?
[00:50] <matisse> what did you do before the error ?
[00:50] <tmc-virus> did u tried when booting to look for disc defects?
[00:50] <Echtelion78> i did a chkdsk in safemode
[00:51] <Echtelion78> but then it just black
[00:51] <tmc-virus> try to make it clean again and look for it again disc defects
[00:51] <tmc-virus> should work
[00:51] <tmc-virus> otherwise, reburn Ubuntu 7.10
[00:52] <Echtelion78> the u works fine normally
[00:52] <tmc-virus> i had it to for about 2 weeks ago
[00:52] <not-alone_> " Single-depth WCHAN output" is this option must enabled for destktop system kernel
[00:52] <not-alone_> ?
[00:52] <tmc-virus> if you want to fix
[00:52] <Echtelion78> I had to restart because of a problem with writing the server edition
[00:52] <tmc-virus> buy a new pc :D
[00:52] <Echtelion78> thank you very much lol
[00:53] <cyberponix_> has anyone elses thumbdrives and or dvd roms stopped working out of the blue?
[00:53] <bascule> no, sounds like hal though
[00:53] <bascule> can you manually mount them still (I suspect so)
[00:54] <cyberponix_> cant mount and I am missing my batt meter
[00:55] <cyberponix_> also
[00:55] <cyberponix_> what is the deal with HAL?
[00:55] <matisse> Is there a package update/install log ?
[00:56] <Echtelion78> windows always wants to take control
[00:56] <Echtelion78> i am now trying the safe mode with prompt
[00:57] <Echtelion78> dang it bites
[00:57] <Echtelion78> I almost had the server edition burned
[00:57] <cyberponix_> Could have HAL been messed up when downloading and installing education games?
[00:58] <Echtelion78> what is HAL?
[00:58] <Echtelion78> I crashed windows
[00:58] <Echtelion78> then ubuntu worked live
[00:59] <bascule> cyberponix_: no, HAL is the thing that auto-detects added devices like USB and CDs
[00:59] <Echtelion78> now It won't boot because win is always popping up
[00:59] <Echtelion78> fresh install of xp first?
[01:00] <bascule> windows first is easier yes, but I am fairly interested in what is wrong
[01:00] <Echtelion78> it hangs now in going to safemode and is doing a reboot
[01:01] <bascule> how long is the hang for? safe-mode can be very slow to start
[01:01] <Echtelion78> and starting up normally from windows drive
[01:01] <cyberponix_> so why would have my usb ports and dvdrom stopped working after downloading and installing educational games with synaptic
[01:01] <Echtelion78> instead of going to atapi first
[01:01] <bascule> cyberponix_: i am not sure, and I doubt it is the games
[01:01] <Echtelion78> now I have a black screen
[01:02] <cyberponix_> how do I fix it? everything else works
[01:02] <bascule> no big list pf .sys Echtelion78 ?
[01:02] <bascule> of not pf, sorry
[01:02] <Echtelion78> i don't get a prompt
[01:02] <Echtelion78> it rebooted 'normally'
[01:03] <bascule> ah well, that is something
[01:03] <Echtelion78> but black screen
[01:03] <Echtelion78> i am reseting
[01:03] <bascule> not so good
[01:04] <bascule> try VGA mode off the startupmenu (F8 thingy)
[01:04] <Echtelion78> full stop
[01:04] <Echtelion78> f8 is device priority
[01:04] <bascule> no,as in the bit where you select safe-mode
[01:04] <Echtelion78> when i choose atapi first i get a blinking cursor
[01:05] <bascule> is it on-board RAID?
[01:05] <Echtelion78> k
[01:05] <Echtelion78> no raid
[01:05] <bascule> does the board have that facility though?
[01:05] <Echtelion78> i got the safe mode thingy
[01:05] <bascule> like 4 IDE channels?
[01:06] <bascule> try VGA mode
[01:06] <Echtelion78> i don't have that optiion
[01:06] <bascule> ?
[01:06] <cyberponix_> is there a way to repair HAL?
[01:07] <Echtelion78> i am pondering trying with networking fac because I have a router with virtual server
[01:07] <bascule> cyberponix_: assuming it is hal, and I don't know, sorry
[01:07] <Echtelion78> the command prompt halted
[01:07] <Echtelion78> k I must get some coffee
[01:08] <Echtelion78> i am going for the networking option
[01:08] <cyberponix_> is there anything else it could be?
[01:08] <bascule> discs and usb, almost certaily hal
[01:08] <Echtelion78> the boot always stops at agp440.sys
[01:09] <Echtelion78> but i will let it run
[01:09] <bascule> yeah, leave it for a while
[01:09]  * Echtelion78 runs for caffeine
[01:09] <Echtelion78> brb
[01:09] <bascule> safe-mode hangs on all sorts of things
[01:09] <bascule> usually mup.sys
[01:13] <Echtelion78> black
[01:14] <Echtelion78> screen is black as my coffee
[01:14] <Echtelion78> we are out of milk and the kitchen is a mess
[01:14] <Echtelion78> k
[01:15]  * Echtelion78 sips his coffee and ponders
[01:15] <bascule> sounds hosed ... :(
[01:15] <Echtelion78> yeeees
[01:15] <Echtelion78> i got a windows log on
[01:15] <bascule> ah, well, is is OK then
[01:16] <Echtelion78> i don't know yet
[01:16] <Echtelion78> i got a wallpaper now
[01:16] <sdragon1984> does this server have a channel for Konversation?
[01:16] <skip99> anyone experienced with KXdocker?
[01:17] <Echtelion78> beautifull wallpaper from silicon valley
[01:17] <bascule> sdragon1984: yes #konversation
[01:18] <sdragon1984> heh, makes sense
[01:18] <sdragon1984> probably why i didnt think of it =P
[01:18] <skip99> when compiling, default install location is ofen
[01:18] <skip99> often* /usr/local/bin
[01:18] <skip99> should that be different for kubuntu?
[01:19] <Echtelion78> yeeeees
[01:20] <Echtelion78> boot in xp
[01:20] <bascule> skip99: /usr/local/bin/ should be OK
[01:21] <bascule> but /usr/bin is better :)
[01:21] <bascule> ./configure --prefix=/usr
[01:21] <skip99> i get thru ./configure fine, but when i run make it hits a whole slew of errors, i had to install g++ to get this far, im gonna assume im missing something else essential
[01:21] <skip99> any ideas?
[01:23] <bascule> it perhaps doesn't get thru configure
[01:23] <skip99> no errors in terminal
[01:23] <bascule> well if it is build bugs, you are in trouble :)
[01:24] <bascule> paste config.log (if there is one)
[01:24] <skip99> k one sec
[01:25] <skip99> just errors part?
[01:25] <Echtelion78> ok i have to unplugg this laptop and rewire my pc
[01:26] <Echtelion78> thx all for the assitense
[01:26] <bascule> skip99: well, if it completed it completed, I am unlikely to be able to fix it anyway, and it is late :)
[01:26] <Echtelion78> assistence
[01:26] <cyberponix_> Dr_willis: do you know anything about HAL
[01:27] <Echtelion78> and coffee safe the day again
[01:27] <skip99> hread model: posix
[01:27] <skip99> gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)

[01:27] <bascule> !paste
[01:27] <bascule> but I am off to bed anyway, so laters o/
[01:28] <cyberponix_> Does anyone know how to fix HAL probs?
[01:28] <matisse> Is there a package update/install log ?
[01:29] <matisse> cyberponix_: dont ask metaquestion
[01:29] <matisse> s
[01:29] <Dr_willis> I know no HAL.
[01:30] <matisse> !question
[01:30] <cyberponix_> How do I figure out what happened to my comp so I can fix it? Every thing but USB ports DVD rom and powermanagment works
[01:30] <skip99> oops i flooded
[01:32] <matisse> cyberponix_: what doesn't work with usb and dvd ? Mounting ?
[01:32] <cyberponix_> even seeing them
[01:33] <cyberponix_> rather I can NOT see them anymore
[01:33] <matisse> did you change something before ?
[01:33] <zabbadapp> cyberponix_: "lsusb"  doesn't list anything either?
[01:34] <flaccid> check dmesg cyberponix_
[01:35] <cyberponix_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/31091/ for lsusb
[01:35] <leba_> What is a partition tool for Kubuntu/kde 4 ?
[01:35] <leba_> I don't think it's present on the desktop-cd.
[01:36] <flaccid> !partition | leba_
[01:36] <buckethead> How much space does gtk take up? Someone was acting like it was a Really Big Deal the other day.
[01:38] <leba_> thank you flaccid !
[01:38] <flaccid> np
[01:38] <cyberponix_> dmesg paste taking awhile
[01:38] <cyberponix_> to post
[01:39] <flaccid> buckethead: gtk itself probably 20-50MB. you can check the package sizes
[01:39] <leba_> I think kde 4 is heavy man. I like the look like but it holds my computer a lot. Maybe because I am running it from desktop cd yet.
[01:40] <flaccid> leba_: yes it will be slow because its running off cd and not hard disk. the read speeds are incredibly slower.
[01:41] <cyberponix_> running a live disk vs installed is much slower
[01:41] <cyberponix_> dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/31097/
[01:41] <leba_> flaccid, what is the difference between Dapper and Edgy  ?
[01:42] <flaccid> leba_: they are different releases.
[01:42] <leba_> flaccid, I just downloaded Kubuntu with kde 4 and I am not sure which one I have beside I cannot find any partition tool on it anymore...
[01:43] <buckethead> flaccid: Thanks.
[01:43] <leba_> flaccid, I need one partition tool to format a partition
[01:43] <flaccid> leba_: it doesn't have a standalone partitioner. you could install qtparted if you need to. you can also run lsb_release -a in konsole to see which version you have. why do you need a partitioner?
[01:43] <flaccid> cool
[01:46] <leba_> flaccid, I was running Ubuntu with GParted and I decided to change a partitionn windows partition name with it  and it somehow destroyed my partition table. When I log from windows I still seem the files and partitions but from Linux I couldn't see anymore, at least with GParted tool. So I decided to downloda a Kubuntu version and chech which partition tool they have.
[01:48] <flaccid> leba_: ok cool. well if the partition is intact you probably have to mount it in disks & filesystems from system settings.
[01:49] <kasra> Hi , I have Ubuntu HH and I installed kubuntu-kde4-desktop . my laptop is old and its vga is not supported by Compiz , but I tried to enable visualeffects , and now I have black screen , I have my GNOME and also tty(s) , how can I disable it ?
[01:50] <leba_> flaccid, I cannot find disks & filesystems on my system settings. Is it on advanced ot general tab ?
[01:50] <flaccid> leba_: advanced
[01:51] <leba_> flaccid, it's not there anymore...
[01:51] <cyberponix_> IS there some place I can go to find help with HAL
[01:51] <leba_> flaccid, under system I jut have Login Manager
[01:51] <flaccid> leba_: maybe dapper or edgy doesn't have it
[01:51] <flaccid> !mount | leba_
[01:51] <matisse> kasra: you could try to relogin in gnome, by killing the x server
[01:52] <flaccid> hmm
[01:52] <flaccid> !fstab | leba_ do it manual
[01:52] <flaccid> you can also look at mount to see if its mounted already
[01:52] <matisse> cyberponix_: try the internet
[01:53] <cyberponix_> DUH
[01:53] <matisse> :P
[01:53] <cyberponix_> lol
[01:53] <kasra> matisse: I know , but when I login again afte kde splash I have black screen , seems like visualeffects is still enable
[01:53] <leba_> flaccid, can I install and run qtparted from hardy ?
[01:53] <flaccid> leba_: you can from any of them
[01:53] <cyberponix_> been looking HAL seems to be something not many people touch on
[01:53] <leba_> flaccid, I mean hardy desktop cd.
[01:53] <flaccid> yes
[01:53] <leba_> flaccid, ok, thank you man ! ;)
[01:54] <flaccid> np
[01:54] <matisse> cyberponix_: well, i dont what HAL might be, so i cant help
[01:55] <flaccid> cyberponix_: #kde for directly related hal help
[01:55] <matisse> kasra: maybe you cant try something like a saved session or something like that (don't know how its called in English...)
[01:55] <matisse> *can
[01:55] <cyberponix_> HAL is your power managment and what pics up on USB stuff along with your DVD/CD rom(s)
[01:55] <cyberponix_> join #kde
[01:55] <flaccid> hal is not powermanagement.
[01:56] <matisse> cyberponix_: HAL did annoy me under Debian, but I solved the problem not by concentrating on hal but on the usb stuff
[01:57] <flaccid> i don't see hal being the problem here. we don't know what the problem is
[01:58] <kasra> matisse:safe session ?
[01:58] <kasra> anyeone else ?
[01:58] <matisse> wait a sec.
[01:59] <matisse> kasra: i mean "failsafe"
[01:59] <matisse> dont know if it helps :)
[02:00] <matisse> but there you can start "kcontrol" somehow
[02:00] <kasra> matisse: kde has failsafe ? I'll try , thanks
[02:08] <cyberponix_> Does anyone know how to fix HAL probs?
[02:09] <mr---t-> maybe if you actually describe the problem and ask a question someone can help
[02:09] <mr---t-> cyberponix_:  | !ask
[02:09] <cyberponix_> How do I figure out what happened to my comp so I can fix it? Every thing but USB ports DVD rom and powermanagment works
[02:09] <flaccid> cyberponix_: no need to repeat. we referred you to #kde
[02:09] <cyberponix_> hence HAL
[02:09] <cyberponix_> no one there
[02:10] <leba_> flaccid, if I download Kubuntu 8.04 - Supported until October 2009 instead of Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix - Community support only, I will be getting a non kde 4 Kubuntu version, right ?
[02:10] <flaccid> if someone could of helped they would of. is someone is not available then nothing you can do here
[02:10] <mr---t-> sorry flaccid , I didn't know the history
[02:11] <flaccid> leba_: um so 8.04 is kde3, so yes i guess
[02:11] <leba_> flaccid, I think 8.04 is kde 3 and 8.04.1 is kde 4, or .. ?
[02:13] <flaccid> !download
[02:13] <flaccid> !hardy
[02:13] <flaccid> meh the factoids are not great
[02:15] <flaccid> leba_: so you get the first one. kubuntu 8.04 - supported until oct 2009 if you want kde3
[02:17] <leba_> flaccid, ok, I will be downloading the thing. Thank you again brother ;)
[02:18] <flaccid> np
[02:18] <Walzmyn> ;
[02:19] <matisse> wait
[02:20] <matisse> flaccid, leba_ as I know, Hardy comes with Kde 4
[02:20] <guido_> hi
[02:20] <flaccid> matisse: the remix does yes. not the normal one
[02:21] <guido_> I've just installed kubuntu hardy heron and for some reason it doesn't properly recognizes my dell e228wfp. any thoughts?
[02:22] <flaccid> whats  dell e228wfp?
[02:22] <matisse> flaccid: what do I get, if i upgrade with update-manager ?
[02:22] <flaccid> matisse: i don't know what update-manager is and it all depends on the repos you have selected. if you havnt installed kde4 then you probably need to do so to get it..
[02:23] <matisse> that doesnt sound great :/
[02:23] <flaccid> why should it?
[02:26] <mr---t-> matisse: it will show you whats available before you confirm
[02:27] <matisse> mr---t-: didn't show anything to choose... but i was lucky, it aborted itself because of to few space on the hd
[02:27] <mr---t-> As flaccid said it does depend on the repos you have listed
[02:28] <matisse> repos are disabled
[02:28] <flaccid> im pretty confused here heh
[02:28] <guido_> I've just installed kubuntu hardy heron and for some reason it doesn't properly recognizes my dell
[02:28] <mr---t-> there you go
[02:28] <flaccid> matisse: what you trying to do?
[02:28] <matisse> system upgrad
[02:28] <flaccid> guido_: dell what? what is it? how does it not properly recognise. please explain
[02:28] <flaccid> upgrade of what to what?
[02:28] <matisse> 7.10 to 8.04
[02:29] <guido_> flaccid: sorry about that,the message was cut off.. my dell e228wfp lcd monitor
[02:29] <guido_> flaccid: it sees it as a generic plug n play and if I manually set it it crashes the x server
[02:30] <flaccid> matisse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu
[02:30] <matisse> thx
[02:30] <flaccid> guido_: check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:31] <guido_> flaccid: what am I looking for there?
[02:31] <flaccid> guido_: errors etc.
[02:31] <flaccid> guido_: you obviously have to look after it has crashed..
[02:32] <guido_> flaccid: ok, I'll redo the steps that made it crash and then look there
[02:32] <flaccid> why do you assume its the monitor, guido_?
[02:33] <mr---t-> flaccid: are you a konsole guy?
[02:33] <guido_> flaccid: what do you mean?
[02:33] <flaccid> i dont use konsole much as i use yakuake
[02:33] <flaccid> guido_: what evidence do you have to suggest the problem is the monitor?
[02:34] <mr---t-> Is that a terminal/shell
[02:34] <guido_> flaccid: well, only the fact that it crashes whenever I change the monitor settings
[02:34]  * mr---t- will google it
[02:35] <matisse> !repos
[02:35] <szakulec> yakuake is a terminal modeled after the Quake console
[02:36] <flaccid> guido_: could be many things and likely not the monitor at all
[02:37] <guido_> flaccid: well... I've noticed that this only happens if I use the restricted nvidia drivers
[02:37] <guido_> flaccid: when it's vesa or nv, it doesn't crash
[02:38] <MachinTrucChose> hi
[02:39] <MachinTrucChose> for the love of God, is there a software application that will properly and reliably configure Samba so I can share some files to/from a Windows computer?
[02:39] <guido_> nvidia
[02:39] <guido_> !nvidia
[02:39] <MachinTrucChose> I must have a spent a combined 10 hours editing smb.conf when KDE's samba configurator crapped out.
[02:39] <guido_> !dell
[02:39] <MachinTrucChose> At this point, I just need a Windows-like "it just ****ing works" solution.
[02:40] <flaccid> guido_: so its more likely the driver
[02:40] <flaccid> !samba | MachinTrucChose
[02:40] <guido_> flaccid: but the driver's fresh from the repo... it's a fresh install
[02:40] <MachinTrucChose> Thanks, but I've read all of that
[02:40] <flaccid> MachinTrucChose: the kcontrol samba snap in not good enogh?
[02:41] <MachinTrucChose> flaccid: no. Not to mention that if you make some changes to smb.conf manually, it completely freaks out and acts bizarre.
[02:41] <flaccid> define freaks out and acts bizarre..
[02:41] <MachinTrucChose> quick question, does the workgroup  need to be the same for the two OS's?
[02:41] <matisse> !swat
[02:42] <flaccid> MachinTrucChose: no it doesn't but there are situations where they need to be in browsing
[02:42] <MachinTrucChose> flaccid: I click "Add user", select the information, and click OK, and the user does not get added.
[02:42] <MachinTrucChose> no error message, nothing, just nothing happens
[02:43] <flaccid> MachinTrucChose: you might have to do samba manually then. you can also use smbpasswd to set password for a user
[02:43] <MachinTrucChose> yeah that's what I ended up doing
[02:43] <matisse> MachinTrucChose: maybe you could try SWAT
[02:43] <MachinTrucChose> I haven't tried that, so I'll take a look.
[02:43] <MachinTrucChose> anything to ease the pain
[02:44] <flaccid> i have to go
[02:44] <mr---t-> Jucato:  I see a new Konversation release is availble , does this one allow double spacing? or bar lined wallpaper?
[02:44] <matisse> bye
[02:45] <Jucato> mr---t-: this one should be the one that allows double spacing that I told you before. not sure what you mean by bar lined wallpaper
[02:50] <mr---t-> thanx I'll give it  a try again
[02:56] <Jucato> mr---t-: you need to include these lines under the [Appearance] group of your konversationrc file:
[02:56] <Jucato> "UseParagraphSpacing=true" and "ParagraphSpacing=20" (without the quotes. you'll have to experiment with the paragraphs spacing value)
[02:57] <mr---t-> ok
[02:58] <mr---t-> I'll try it when my upgrades have finished downloading
[03:06] <guido_> I have just installed kubuntu hardy heron and I can't get it to restart from kde. Whenever I click on restart it hangs closing the session and I have to ctrl-alt-backspace it and then go to another terminal and shutdown from there. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

[04:15] <darkwolf> hello everyone
[04:30] <darkwolf> what does this mean: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:31] <crimsun> darkwolf: it means you don't have that extension loaded, which means either your X driver doesn't support it, or it's not specified to load in the conffile, or both.
[04:32] <darkwolf> okay... how do I fix that?
[04:32] <darkwolf> I made sure I installed all the glx packages in adept
[04:36] <crimsun> darkwolf: it's not as straightforward as that.
[04:36] <darkwolf> oh no...:(
[04:36] <crimsun> darkwolf: first, what graphics hardware, and which driver is being used for said hardware?
[04:37] <darkwolf> I know I have a geforce graphics card
[04:38] <darkwolf> nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1)
[04:38] <crimsun> darkwolf: I take it, then, that you're not using the nvidia driver but nv.
[04:38] <crimsun> (X.Org driver, that is)
[04:39] <crimsun> what does the hardware drivers tell you?
[04:40] <crimsun> I think it's in a package called jockey-kde
[04:40] <darkwolf> how do I check that?
[04:40] <crimsun> use the hardware drivers program
[04:40] <crimsun> I don't have a Kubuntu install handy, so I don't know what menu it appears in
[04:41] <darkwolf> I currently have the nvidia driver working
[04:41] <darkwolf> I used the system settings entry from the menu
[04:42] <crimsun> does jockey-kde corrobrate that?
[04:43] <crimsun> corroborate*
[04:43] <darkwolf> adept doesn't find any package like that
[04:43] <crimsun> ?
[04:43] <crimsun> jockey-kde should be installed by defaulh
[04:43] <crimsun> default*
[04:44] <darkwolf> I don't see it anywhere on the menu either
[04:44] <crimsun> does `grep NVIDIA /var/log/Xorg.0.log' return lots of lines?

[06:21] <_2> well i'll go test again...

[08:13] <jussi01> emons: usually it doesnt have an exension, just vlc
[08:13] <emons> whatz where i found it jussi01 but it has to be and executable file, thatz y i asked
[08:13] <emons> mmm ok thank u

[11:12] <paul__> hello, can anybody help a complete newbie with my settings?
[11:15] <pag> !ask | paul__
[11:17] <paul__> ok, thanks :). I am trying to get my menu/toolbar to eb translucent but every style i choose says that it does not support such a thing
[11:19] <pag> paul__, where do you even manage to find a setting for toolbar translucency?
[11:20] <paul__> appearance > style > effects> menu effect
[11:20] <pag> oh, those ones.. at least Serenety supports them.. QtCurve might also, not sure though
[11:21] <paul__> how do i get serenety?
[11:22] <paul__> adept installer does not recognise
[11:22] <pag> paul__, (sorry, I mistyped, it's serenity) it might be available through repos, but if it's not, then I have no idea – can't remember how did I get it
[11:23] <paul__> Also, I read somewhere that you can configure adept to show extra repos?
[11:23] <rodya> hey I have a quick question, if i can't pull it off here, I'll ask on the forums, but might you help me? I'm trying to get gimp to display in russian menus in kde - I have language-pack-ru(-base), language-pack-kde-ru(-base), and language-pack-gnome-ru(-base) all installed. If it matters, I'm running gutsy.
[11:24] <pag> rodya, alt+f2 -> export LC_ALL="ru_RU-UTF.8" && gimp
[11:24] <rodya> oops, actually the system this is installed on is hardy, but I'm running gutsy versions of russian support and gimp (out in the boonies in a developing country, internet a no-go for downloading the full packages)
[11:24] <rodya> hmm, I'll give that a shot right now, thanks
[11:24] <pag> !repos | paul__
[11:26] <rodya> pag, got an error back: could not run the specified command
[11:28] <paul__> not found serenity theme :(, on another dist i used something that was called baghira i think that did the job, but does not seem to be avliable for this :(
[11:28] <pag> rodya, sorry, it's supposed to be export "ru_RU.UTF-8" && gimp  (and try that in Konsole instead)
[11:29] <pag> !find baghira
[11:29] <pag> paul__, it's available
[11:30] <pag> paul__, also: kde-style-serenity for serenity
[11:30] <paul__> in adept?
[11:30] <pag> paul__, for example, yes.
[11:30] <paul__> you see, when i seach for these in adept I cannot find them
[11:31] <pag> paul__, see the link about repos ubottu gave you
[11:32] <rodya> pag, interesting: in the terminal, the first of your commands leads to this error message - "(gimp:8190): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-bus session /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu terminated: interrupt
[11:32] <rodya> the latter command gives this:
[11:32] <rodya> bash: export: `ru_RU.UTF-8': not a valid identifier
[11:33] <pag> rodya, yup. I always mistype something :D export LC_ALL="ru_RU.UTF-8" && gimp    (not sure of this either, but this looks more right)
[11:34] <rodya> lol, thanks, I appreciate your help nonetheless. I'll give that a shot now
[11:34] <paul__> aha, i was looking at adept installer, not manager. now found it thank you!
[11:35] <rodya> did it!!!
[11:35] <rodya> thanks a ton.
[11:36] <pag> yw :-)
[11:36] <rodya> curious, If I were going to dodge a full install of kubuntu-restricted-extras and just wanted to enable mp3, xvid, dvd and mpeg vid support in kubuntu, what am I going to need for that?
[11:36] <paul__> now, have installed baghira, how do i get it to show under apperance settings?
[11:37] <rodya> on a clean hardy install
[11:37] <rodya> pag, hm, actually, backpedal...
[11:37] <pag> paul__, it should be there as soon as you reopen systemsetting
[11:38] <rodya> it looks like if I run the command it'll open it as such, but is there a way to make it persist as the new default language in gimp?
[11:38] <paul__> pag, it is not showing
[11:38] <rodya> if i run gimp otherwise it starts back in english
[11:38] <rodya> is there an easier way to do that than modifying the menu shortcut?
[11:39] <pag> rodya, I don't really know – I rarely need to run something in language other than my default.
[11:39] <rodya> for me thats nothing, but I'm trying to minimize the work on this, as it's for schools in the region here where the tech people are VERY new to linux, and might not get this right or understand why we're going at such lengths
[11:39] <rodya> gotcha
[11:40] <rodya> I just wonder if there's a way to set gtk apps to run in a givel language without having to install gnome, boot into the settings and configure everything
[11:40] <rodya> in a given* language, rather
[11:41] <paul__> installed serenity and that is not in there as well. do i need to restart?
[11:42] <pag> paul__, try kcontrol -> appearance -> style
[11:43] <rodya> until I have a better idea, I'll just tell them to change the shortcut in the menu. Thanks for your help pag!
[11:43] <pag> np :-)

[11:48] <paul__> cool, thanks pag. Now to try and get the tool bar to be translucent ...
[11:55] <paul__> the settings in kcontrol do not seem to affect my system
[11:57] <paul__> do you know how i can enable this ?
[11:57] <cadoo> paul__: what kde are you using?
[11:57] <paul__> kde 4 i think, the latest kubuntu
[11:58] <tomaz> paul: can you check the version?
[11:58] <tomaz> click on help -> about kde on any program.
[11:58] <paul__> how do i check it ?
[11:58] <paul__> ok thanks :)
[11:59] <tomaz> well, not any program... open Dolphin and check on it.
[11:59] <paul__> it says 4.0.3
[12:00] <engineer> update to kde 4.1
[12:00] <pag> paul__, kde4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 ;)
[12:00] <paul__> ok, whatis the command line for this engineer?
[12:01] <engineer> paul__ you need to add this line into your sources
[12:01] <engineer> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main
[12:01] <engineer> sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[12:02] <cadoo> paul__: right-click desktop > desktop settings > Desktop Theme > Glassified. not sure if you can do that in 4.0 though
[12:04] <radon> how do I change my login screen's res? if I go to systemsettings it only changes my user's after I've loged in
[12:04] <engineer> you need to tweak your xorg.conf
[12:05] <radon> under which line would I do that?
[12:05] <paul__> cannot readr list of package sources it says
[12:05] <tomaz> engineer: the xorg.conf on 8.04 is not 'magic' configured?
[12:06] <engineer> paul__ eh? show your full sources
[12:07] <radon> well If you're talking about dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg showing no res options or anything at all yes
[12:08] <paul__> the apt database cannot be opened when i try to run adapt manager
[12:08] <paul__> and adept wont open
[12:08] <engineer> paul__ that's obvious
[12:09] <paul__> ok, sorry not sure how to resolve it as i am a newbie at all this
[12:09] <engineer> did you edit your sources?
[12:09] <engineer> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:09] <engineer> paste in a pastebin site and give link
[12:09] <paul__> yes, but i think i did it wrong. I went into adept and added it to the source list in there
[12:11] <paul__> http://pastebin.com/m6a62d7f7
[12:11] <paul__> hope that works
[12:12] <engineer> the last line is wrong
[12:12] <engineer> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:12] <engineer> replace it with this
[12:12] <engineer> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main
[12:14] <paul__> engineer, can you talk me through it? not sure what you are saying
[12:14] <engineer> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:14] <paul__> ok, done that
[12:14] <engineer> page down to the last line
[12:14] <paul__> ok

[12:18] <paul__> no

[12:28] <ngirard> Hi all, I'm using Kubuntu Hardy and Kde 4 ; when I plug a usb stick I get such popup message: "open using dolphin", whereas I'd like to open the contents of my usb stick with konqueror. I've edited the configuration of the "inode/directory" mime type so that Dolphin comes in second and Konqueor comes first, but nothing has changed. Any thoughts ?
[12:31] <engineer> uninstall dolphin
[12:32] <paul__> thanks enginner all upddated
[12:32] <ngirard> engineer: Hi, thanks for your feedback... unfortunately I'm not the only user of this box, therefore Dolphin needs to say
[12:32] <engineer> say?
[12:32] <ngirard> engineer: to stay
[12:34] <engineer> ngirard try this
[12:34] <engineer> right click a folder
[12:34] <engineer> open with
[12:34] <engineer> other
[12:34] <engineer> choose konqueror
[12:35] <engineer> save the preference
[12:40] <msi> remove and install again, Kopete but  msn not eliminated.
[12:43] <ngirard> engineer: thanks for your suggestion, I'll take a moment to test it carefully, i.e. perform the change, logout then start a new session. Can't do this right now but will try later for sure. Thanks again

[13:18] <engineer> grup?
[13:19] <Tm_T> !grub
[13:19] <leba_> yes, grup, sorry...
[13:19] <Tm_T> leba_: ^
[13:19] <leba_> I mean grub :P
[13:20] <not-alone> leba_ 1: Install Xp 2. Install kubuntu in the free space in hard disk
[13:20] <leba_> Do you think it's worst worry with partitions in orther to use grub ?
[13:20] <engineer> leba_ http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2369893842637434537
[13:20] <not-alone> grub wil be configured automaticly
[13:20] <leba_> I was thinking in make a 1Gb primary partition just for booting...
[13:21] <not-alone> you may make 1 or 2 partiton for all Kubuntu... Swap and other
[13:22] <not-alone> or only 1 partiton without swap
[13:22] <engineer> which is not recommended
[13:22] <not-alone> year
[13:22] <not-alone> but it is possible if you have >1gb physycal memory
[13:25] <not-alone> and all : 1 partiton for  XP and 2 partitons for kubuntu - swap and other(ex3). 1. install Xp. 2. Install kubuntu. 3 when the system boot ...look ot he display you see msg Grub.

[13:40] <rickey> what is a good roooooom to go to for help with virtual box
[13:40] <paul__> hi is there a channel for kde 4?
[13:40] <Jucato> paul__: #kubuntu-kde4
[13:40] <engineer> cof... topic
[13:40] <Jucato> rickey: #vbox I think
[13:40] <paul__> thanks
[13:41] <rickey> thank you
[13:41] <Jucato> (weren't you there already earlier? O.o)
[13:41] <paul__> engineer, thanks for your help it worked and i am updated, looks nice
[13:41] <leba_> well, actually I was looking a place where I could find more theory about partitioning, bootloaders and stuff like that.
[13:41] <engineer> #vmware is better
[13:41] <not-alone> -is this a channel for Anime? - yes how can i patch kde for freebsd...
[13:41] <Jucato> engineer: *if* he's using vmware... kinda absurd to go there asking about virtualbox
[13:41] <paul__> can you answer me one more question?
[13:42] <leba_> I do have some partitions on my hdd and some windows installations which I wouldn't like to loose.
[13:42] <Jucato> leba_: ##linux mostly.... though you can search in http://help.ubuntu.com/community for docs too
[13:42] <engineer> i was being ironic....geez
[13:43] <Jucato> engineer: don't you know by know that humor transmits very poorly over TCP/IP? :D
[13:43] <psyko> how can eliminate the arrow links in icons??
[13:44] <paul__> i want to change my settings but any changes i make in kcontrol have little effect on my toolbar and most menus etc
[13:46] <ForgeAus> Jucato thats IRC, TCP/IP is just fine...
[13:46] <ForgeAus> (with a little help from stuff such as youtube)
[13:47] <Jucato> ForgeAus: well, even in some instances it's still transmitted poorly :)
[13:47] <Jucato> aanyway..

[14:20] <rav> Is there a way to change the display resolution for KDM?
[14:20] <gnomefreak> rav: not really it should be same as your user res. so changing that should change kdm but doesnt always happen that way its same in gdm
[14:21] <rav> i think it has something to do with nvidia drivers

[16:14] <the-erm> I've noticed the same thing.
[16:14] <lakis1982> what should i use the erm ?
[16:14] <the-erm> I have a copy of 48 if you want.  It plays a little better, but doesn't have full screen.
[16:15] <senethril> Bonjour
[16:15] <the-erm> I'd recommend using flashblock & noscript in firefox as well so you're not running flash unless you want to,.
[16:15] <senethril> j'ai tous les effets de fusion mais le cube veut pas se montrer!
[16:15] <senethril> oops

[16:16] <the-erm> lavacano201014: 9,0,48,0 is the best one I've found as far as performance.  However like I said before buffer overflows and whatnot makes running flashblock a need to do thing...

[16:17] <the-erm> sorry.

[16:18] <hellhound> Does anyone know why my multimedia keys (volume up/down and mute) do not work under KDE 4.x but they did under KDE 3.x.x or hwat I might do to get them working?
[16:19] <emilsedgh> hellhound: because there was a program called kmilo in kde3, which never got ported to kde4, and there is no plan to take it back
[16:20] <Jucato> emilsedgh: but kmilo was only about the osd and brightness, not the multimedia keys themselves
[16:20] <Jucato> afaik
[16:20] <emilsedgh> Jucato: afaik it handled them too
[16:21] <emilsedgh> Jucato: maybe youre right though :)
[16:25] <czybyszew> My bluetooth doesn't work. Sometimes after reboot it work well, but usually when I open KBluetooth it's nothing there. Help!
[16:40] <hellhound> emilsedgh: i show that i have kmilo 4.0.3 for kde4.x installed

[17:32] <rigo> snirp, using KDE 4.1 and being newby is mutually exclusive :)

 Window -> New Konsole (get a new tabl w/ konsole embeded) or "/cmd konsole" to start konsole
[17:52] <sparr> Jucato: yeah, im not running konversation here or there :-p
[17:52] <Jucato> ah, that's one problem you need to fix :)
[17:53] <sparr> nah, im happy with kvirc
[17:54] <Jucato> I'm sure kvirc, with all its scripting madness, has some way to run an external command :)
[17:54] <l3x> how do i add .xml files to my rss akregator???
[17:54] <l3x> i want to add news from one site to akregator. can it be done?
[17:55] <Jucato> l3x: Feed menu -> Add feed?
[17:55] <fanel> genii:I can-t get the vertical line ,that one between "Ispci" and "grep" from my keyboard.How could I type it?
[17:56] <l3x> got it. thank you!
[17:56] <l3x> i downloaded xml files, instead of adding their address to akregator. i am such a noob!
[17:57] <fanel> sparr:"shift+<\"does not work
[17:58] <sparr> fanel: no <
[17:58] <sparr> just \
[17:58] <Jucato> fanel: you'll have to look at your keyboard or check with your keyboad layout where it is. it's usually the same key as \
[17:58] <genii> fanel: On regular english keyboard it's the one above the Enter key with a shift added
[17:58] <genii> fanel: Alternately you could just copy and paste the command from here
[17:59] <Jucato> fanel: http://globalnerdy.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/pipe-key.gif
[17:59] <sparr> fanel: and, wherever you got that line, it was lspci not Ispci
[17:59] <fanel> I have managed to type it
[18:01] <genii> fanel: So you managed:     lspci | grep Audio            ?
[18:02] <genii> If so please let us know the result. You can copy it here to the channel if only 1 or 2 lines
[18:03] <genii> Remember to hit Enter after the command to activate it...
[18:04] <emilsedgh> Jucato: ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME TOO BABY! :P
[18:08] <fanel> what about the first character?It is not a capital "I"?Or it is also a vertical line?Because the message is something like syntax error....
[18:08] <leba_> I need to copy the contents from one disk partition to another using bash and the following commands doesn't seems to be working : cp -ruf /dev/sda1 /dev/sda5
[18:09] <leba_> Could someone gimme an idea bout why it could be happening, or why it's not happening nothing ?
[18:09] <leba_> please ;)
[18:09] <genii> fanel: small L spci   then the pipe symbol |   then grep Audio
[18:10] <genii> leba_: You can't copy things from raw devices with cp command
[18:10] <jpds> If anyone would like to get involved with helping out with the Kubuntu website, please visit: http://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/WebsiteTasks
[18:11] <leba_> genii, how do I specify the partition path then ?
[18:11] <paolo_> Hi *. I cannot send mail using kmail unless I use "send via...". I didn't have this problem with gentoo (Same version of kmail). Does anyone know if there is a way to solve this one?
[18:11] <fanel> 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[18:12] <fanel> this is the answer I have got
[18:12] <leba_> !cp | leba_
[18:12] <genii> leba_: Is there some filesystem already on the partition of /dev/sda5 ?
[18:12] <fanel> thank you for your patience
[18:12] <leba_> genii, ntfs
[18:13] <genii> leba_: Because if you want to use cp for this you need both mounted someplace like /media/sda1 and /media/sda5  or so then execute the cp from one to the other that way
[18:13] <genii> !intelhda | fanel
[18:14] <leba_> genii, ok, let me try it. thank you for now ;)

[18:17] <fanel> genii:now what's next  to get my sound?Type in the terminal"!intelhda | fanel"?
[18:18] <leba_> genii, ups, sorry. :P
[18:18] <genii> fanel: No. Visit the webpage ubottu suggests of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto  and exactly follow the instructions there
[18:18] <leba_> ZmAY, sorry !
[18:19] <fanel> ok.thanks

[19:48] <kblin> hi folks
[19:49] <engineer> hi kblin what's up
[19:49] <ere4si> !hi
[19:49] <kblin> I'm trying to set up my bind server to refer requests for a subdomain to the subdomain's name server, but that doesn't seem to be working.
[19:51] <kblin> I'm getting a log message of zone win2k3.kblin.local/IN: refresh: non-authoritative answer from master 192.168.2.1#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0)
[19:51] <genii> kblin: Try #ubuntu-server channel please
[19:52] <kblin> genii: will do
[20:02] <jb_> hello
[20:03] <genii> !hi
[20:03] <jb_> there is a usb hard drive i would like to format so it could be read by vista and linux
[20:03] <jb_> how can i do that?
[20:04] <JoshOvki> jb_ boot into vista and format it as FAT32 or install QTPARTED and format the drive as fat32
[20:05] <jb_> vista can not see the drive because it has linux partitions already
[20:05] <jb_> qtparted does not come with kubuntu anymore?
[20:05] <genii> You can get an ext driver for windows so it can see linux filesystems
[20:06] <kblin> er, why not just do mkfs.vfat ?
[20:06] <jb_> yes but i want mu HDD to be connected to my router, and available by wifi to a max of persons
[20:06] <JoshOvki> kblin: cause its possible for the wrong drive to be done that way exp with a new user
[20:06] <genii> kblin: vfat supports only 4Gb largest file
[20:06] <JoshOvki> and that :P
[20:07] <kblin> oh, and installing an ext2 driver on windows is easier? sure...
[20:07] <jb_> how come there is not a default application to partitione disk with kubuntu anymore!?
[20:08] <kblin> jb_: so, do you want to use it in vista or in your router? :)
[20:08] <jb_> i want my HDD to be connected to my router (router has a usb plug)
[20:08] <jb_> and available from vista and linux
[20:09] <kblin> jb_: ok, for that to work, your router needs to run samba
[20:09] <jb_> samba???
[20:09] <JoshOvki> !samba
[20:10] <jb_> i have a cable modem connected to a siemens gigaset se 551 wlan dsl/cable
[20:10] <jb_> it said in the notice it could connect it a HDD
[20:10] <kblin> jb_: if you want windows to access the files on the router, formatting a partition on the usb drive to any file system isn't going to help
[20:10] <kblin> jb_: on the plus side, if it's build for file sharing to windows hosts, it's already running samba
[20:11] <jb_> i think it is already then
[20:11] <jb_> i installed qtparted
[20:11] <kblin> so basically it boils down to "the router needs to be able to read the data on the drive"
[20:11] <jb_> when i click in qtparted in the menu i get a command not found
[20:12] <jb_> kblin: yes =)
[20:12] <jb_> kdesu /usr/lib/kde4/bin/qtparted does not work either
[20:13] <JoshOvki> jb_:  try   sudo qtparted
[20:14] <jb_> JoshOvki: it works!
[20:14] <jb_> so, i ve qtparted running
[20:14] <jb_> now i plug the usb drive?
[20:14] <Richard> yea
[20:14] <Richard> or before
[20:14] <Richard> doesn't matter
[20:14] <jb_> ok it's plugged
[20:15] <jb_> no recognition of the usb hdd
[20:15] <maybeway36> try restarting qtparted
[20:15] <Richard> with fdisk works?
[20:15] <jb_> i did it
[20:15] <jb_> it's here
[20:15] <Richard> try gparted
[20:16] <jb_> so, for the hdd to be able to be read by vista, linux, and router
[20:16] <jb_> i should partition it as fat32?
[20:16] <jb_> ntfs?
[20:16] <Richard> read?
[20:16] <Richard> fat or ntfs
[20:16] <jb_> ok ntfs?
[20:17] <kblin> jb_: it just needs to be read by the router
[20:17] <kblin> check the router manual to see what file systems the router supports
[20:17] <jb_> you reckon?
[20:17] <jb_> it's not like a HDD on a wifi network?
[20:18] <kblin> fat32 is a safe bet, you might get lucky with ntfs
[20:18] <kblin> no
[20:18] <kblin> it's like a file server
[20:18] <Richard> ntfs definitly
[20:18] <Richard> fat doesn't support big files
[20:19] <kblin> Richard: your router can read ntfs?
[20:19] <jb_> ntfs is not in the available options!
[20:19] <Richard> yes
[20:19] <kblin> oh, ok. mine doesn't
[20:19] <kblin> but I agree if ntfs works, it's the better solution
[20:19] <jb_> is it normal i can not get 100% of the disk in 1 fat32 partition?
[20:20] <Richard> yes
[20:20] <jb_> there is a free space size of 7.84MB
[20:20] <Richard> with reiserfs that doesn't happen
[20:20] <jb_> what is reiserfs?
[20:21] <Richard> !reiserfs
[20:22] <jb_> thanks
[20:22] <jb_> i guess it is not the best choices for my intentions
[20:22] <kblin> the router won't do reiserfs, though
[20:22] <jb_> fat32 then
[20:23] <jb_> how quick it is to format with qtparted!!!
[20:23] <jb_> done
[20:23] <jb_> now i unplug it from the pc, and plug it to the router?
[20:24] <Richard> ok
[20:26] <jb_> how to "safey remove" the hdd?
[20:28] <jb_> hey what happened to amarok and kaffeine in the new kubuntu 8.04??
[20:29] <Richard> i right click the icon
[20:29] <Richard> and hit safely remove
[20:29] <Richard> kaffeine doesn't have a kde4 version
[20:29] <Richard> amarok does
[20:29] <Richard> anways i'm off
[20:29] <jb_> does it mean i can not use kaffeine?
[20:29] <jb_> thank you and good bye richard
[20:33] <MachinatorSyver> could anyone help me get my mic to work? its pluged in my sound card not usb
[20:38] <mpsan> Can anyone here tell me why fdisk -l will show my drives but not the RAID array? It just shows the individual drives when booting 8.04.1 Live CD.
[20:39] <jb_> hello i am installing kubuntu-restricted-extra packages
[20:39] <jb_> with adept manager
[20:40] <jb_> and it keeps stuck at 11% "preparing the installation of sun-java6-bin"
[20:40] <jb_> what to do?
[20:40] <jb_> ctrl + alt + esp ?
[20:40] <jb_> or is it normal to be slow and long?
[20:42] <genii> The java install normally wants user input to acknowledge and accept terms of use which Adept cannot show. Better to install it by commandline with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[20:43] <jb_> genii: i am installing kubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:43] <jb_> does it work in the command line?
[20:43] <genii> Yes
[20:43] <jb_> how can i cancel the current blocked installation?
[20:44] <jb_> ctrl + alt + esc ?
[20:44] <genii> jb_: Yes, then kill the adept window
[20:44] <genii> then:
[20:44] <genii> !aptfix
[20:44] <mpsan> GENII...did you see my fdisk -l question?
[20:44] <genii> jb_: The above instructions then before attempting apt-get or such
[20:45] <jb_> first i kill the adept windows and second i sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a ?
[20:45] <genii> mpsan: fdisk will show the underlying hardware device. since the raid is a software construct made after boot of your hd based install, the livecd of course will not know how to make it
[20:46] <genii> jb_: Yes exactly
[20:46] <jb_> genii: thank you!
[20:46] <compilerwriter> Is there a way to set things up so that every or at least most applications fire up the same web browser when there is need for one;  Or, must this be done on an individual application basis?
[20:46] <mpsan> Thank you!
[20:47] <mpsan> I was going to try to create a PenDrive install. It is 8Gb so should work OK.
[20:48] <jb_> genii: final sentences in konsole is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place", is it ok now?
[20:51] <genii> jb_: Yes. Now you can do the command of:  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[20:51] <genii> Apologies on lag, work is requiring me here
[20:51] <jb_> genii: i entered the command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:52] <jb_> genii: but there are packages with unmet dependencies
[20:52] <jb_> try apt-get -f install ?
[20:52] <genii> compilerwriter: System Settings ...Default Applications ... web browser selection from second column.... then on right choose "in the following browser" and put the name of it like: firefox %u
[20:52] <genii> jb_: No
[20:53] <jb_> it is what konsole proposed me
[20:53] <genii> jb_: Try first: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade        then try the -f install
[20:54] <jb_> it still says "You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f."
[20:56] <compilerwriter> I tried that genii and hit apply but Konversation fired up firefox instead of Opera.  Will I need to close Konversation and fire it up again for a valid test?
[20:57] <genii> compilerwriter: Konversation may be overriding the system choice with it's own choice if it's been specified differently
[20:57] <compilerwriter> The system variable can be over-ridden by the software's own rec file then?
[20:57] <jb_> genii:  the -f install worked
[20:58] <jb_> genii: it detected the previous unsuccessfull installation
[20:58] <jb_> genii: know i have to accept the license of java in konsole, but how?
[20:58] <genii> compilerwriter: Check in Konversation.... Settings...Configure Konversation...Behavior..General...   Bottom right in Micellaneous section is browser choice
[20:59] <genii> jb_: When you install the java package by commandline use Tab key to change fields and then Enter key to select
[21:00] <jb_> genii: thank sir!!! you save me
[21:00] <genii> jb_: np
[21:01] <genii> compilerwriter: If no selections are made in there it *should* just use the system default as I described how to set just earlier
[21:02] <compilerwriter> I specified the system default incorrectly now.  I have to go back and get it right.
[21:02] <genii> compilerwriter: Ah. Don't forget the  %u    part after the name, required to make it load whatever url you are clicking on
[21:04] <genii> Any other fast questions before I have to away from the comuter for about 20-30 minutes?
[21:04] <genii> comuter->computer
[21:04] <sourcemaker> which finance app is better? gnucash or kmymoney2?
[21:05] <compilerwriter> genii I had the %u, but I had misplaced the one of the '
[21:05] <genii> sourcemaker: I've heard better things about kmymoney  but I don't use either myself
[21:05] <jb_> does someone know how to stop those annoying pop ups when you receive a msg with kopete?
[21:06] <compilerwriter> sorry jb_ that is one of the reasons I don't use kopete
[21:09] <jb_> compilerwriter: it was not all the time like that... Can't it be stoped? What do you use?
[21:10] <compilerwriter> I don't much IM in the first place, but when I must I have used something else that is open source give me a minute to see what it is jb_
[21:10] <jb_> compilerwriter: pidgin?
[21:11] <PhilRod> jb_: settings->configure notifications
[21:11] <PhilRod> turn off all the ones you don't want

[21:11] <compilerwriter> I think so jb_

[21:13] <jb_> it was not like this before 8.04
[21:20] <jb_> those annoying pop ups from kopete are still here!!
[21:25] <PhilRod> jb_: what do you have set in settings->configure notifications->"an incoming message has been received"?
[21:25] <PhilRod> (click on "advanced" to see everything)
[21:27] <jb_> PhilRod: ok thanx
[21:29] <compilerwriter> jb_ I used pidging for a while and then used gaim
[21:29] <jb_> pidgin is nice
[21:30] <jb_> what about pidgin ws kopete?
[21:30] <compilerwriter> I think I ended up using gaim because it had a windows counterpart for those people I knew who had that virus installed on there systems.
[21:30] <compilerwriter> jb_ don't think I ever messed with kopete enough to know.
[21:31] <compilerwriter> Gaim had a decent irc client except that it was lacking an essential feature that I wished to have in irc.  Namely highlight when one's nick is typed in a message to the channel
[21:33] <jb_> i cant get rid of those pop ups!!
[21:33] <PhilRod> jb_: what do you have set in settings->configure notifications->"an incoming message has been received"?
[21:34] <jb_> play a sound

[21:49] <genii> jb_: purge wil also remove it's configuration files
[21:50] <jb_> for instance i installed listen, and it required me to install several other packages
[21:50] <jb_> of i remove and purge listen, all those other packages will be deleted too?
[21:50] <genii> No.
[21:51] <jb_> how to remove all those useless packages?
[21:52] <Super_BQ> don't install them
[21:53] <genii> jb_: Use --auto-remove
[21:53] <jb_> there is a way: "The following packages were automatically installed andare no longer required: 'package list' Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them."
[21:53] <jb_> genii: exactly
[21:54] <genii> I require logoff now in order to proceed home. See you all in perhaps 45 minutes or so
[21:57] <jb_> what bittorrent client do you recommend?
[22:04] <der_daniel> hi, i just installed dapper and my graphics card (ti-4200) is not recognised properly and works very slowly, though without errors. i think it should say 'nv25' in the system panel but instead it just says 'nv'. i use the normal nvidia-glx-legacy driver. i would be very glad about helpful suggestions
[22:14] <Super_BQ> jb: i've been using Transmission
[22:14] <Super_BQ> oop he's gone

[23:15] <joe_> can anyone help me out???
[23:16] <joe_> i would like to install & play a game but i don't know how to install a game that i downloaded from kde-apps.org can anyone help me out????
[23:16] <K`zan> Hi folks, got the nividia drivers installed but display still seems *slow*, there was  something about setting the right opengl(?!?) but I can't find anything on it.  Any thoughts, suggestions or pointers appreciated!  TMIA!
[23:16] <joe_> wtf u r linux ppl good for if u wont even help out someone that's in need of help
[23:25] <justs0me> i installed SELinux and at shutdown, it will say "mount: can't find /selinux in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"  what is wrong?
[23:27] <kaminix> If flac --best gives 'compression ratio 1.000', does that mean the file is as large as the uncompressed version or that it's as large as the input file?
[23:30] <Daisuke_Laptop> i still don't understand how lossless compression can have "best" or "worst" qualities.
[23:33] <jhutchins_wk> Is there anywhere besides /etc/sysconfig/clock that Linux systems keep track of whether the system clock is set to UTC?
[23:34] <sparr> i used to have a shrinking timer bar on the screen saver password dialog, now its gone.  what was that, and how do i get it back?
[23:35] <genii> jhutchins_wk: Possibly some ntp thing somewhere
[23:39] <genii> jhutchins_wk: man tzselect tells me it should be in /usr/share/zoneinfo
[23:43] <rikard> So, when I installed Kubuntu, I had Vista and Fedora installed. WHen I installed Kubuntu, I split the already existing ntfs partition even further. how do I delete the fedora partitions and reallocate that space back to ntfs?
[23:43] <rikard> Since I'm using Kubuntu now, I don't need Fedora.
[23:44] <jhutchins_wk> genii: Is that the timezone, or is that whether hwclock is utc?
[23:44] <genii> rikard: So is currently looking something like   || NTFS || Ubuntu || Fedora ||   ?
[23:44] <genii> jhutchins_wk: I think timezone :(
[23:45] <rikard> Exactly. I want to delete Fedora and put that space back on the NTFS partition so the next time I boot vista it doesn't bitch at me.
[23:45] <rikard> I'm a fairly new linux user and I'm not sure how to do that though.
[23:45] <Devourer> How do I uninstall the KDE desktop environment?
[23:46] <PhilRod> Devourer: uninstall "kdelibs" in adept/your package manager of choice
[23:46] <genii> rikard: Because the current NTFS and the Fedora partition are not next to each other it's not possible to make them 1 again without relocating the Ubuntu partiton to either the front of the NTFS or the end of the Fedora one
[23:46] <PhilRod> Devourer: that'll take all kde apps with it (since they depend on kdelibs)
[23:46] <rikard> Is that feasible?
[23:46] <PhilRod> Devourer: if you want to get rid of everything kde-related, you might want to try removing kubuntu-desktop (I think that's what it's called)
[23:47] <Devourer> PhilRod, nice. So KDElibs5?
[23:47] <Devourer> PhilRod, oh, yeah, I don't want kubuntu-desktop anymore.
[23:48] <PhilRod> Devourer: I think kdelibs5 is for kde 4 (stupid debian naming policy)
[23:48] <rikard> Oo.
[23:48] <rikard> Actually, genii, its ||NTFS||FEDORA||KUBUNTU
[23:48] <rikard> So what do I do? :)
[23:48] <Devourer> PhilRod, should I mark for removal or complete removal?
[23:49] <renan> sera q tem algum brasileiro aqui?
[23:49] <genii> rikard: If it's that layout there then much less complicated. De-allocate fedora, then expand the ntfs to include it
[23:49] <PhilRod> !pt | renan
[23:49] <rikard> What utility is good for that, genii?
[23:49] <genii> rikard: qtparted
[23:49] <rikard> Is that stock in kubuntu?
[23:50] <genii> rikard: You can install it by add/remove
[23:50] <rikard> Thanks so much for the help.
[23:50] <PhilRod> Devourer: hrm not sure sorry. I'm a bit new to (k)ubuntu, so I'm not too familiar with the packaging terminology
[23:50] <renan> muito obrigado pela ajuda
[23:50] <rikard> I appreciate you moving at a rate commensurate to my snail like brain capacity.
[23:51] <genii> Devourer: You have already something like ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop or so which supplied another window manager?
[23:51] <Devourer> genii, I've got Gnome.
[23:52] <ahmed_> please, i want to make my own IRC server or chat rom to make it like a private session between me and my friends how can i do some thing like that???
[23:52] <rikard> Weird. When trying to launch QTParted, it comes up, then just disappears.
[23:52] <genii> Devourer: In the packaging system of all *buntu  gnome in this case would only be a sub-package of the larger metapackage of ubuntu-desktop. The same as kubuntu-desktop supplies kde or xubuntu-desktop supplies xfce
[23:53] <ahmed_> please any body can help me??
[23:53] <genii> ahmed_: The moment you open a channel which does not exist you are the operator. So make it invite only or such
[23:54] <rikard> When I attempt to open QTparted,  it comes up on the taskbar, loads for forever, then disappears.
[23:54] <genii> rikard: It requires admin rights. So:   alt-f2 kdesu qtparted
[23:55] <rikard> it just sits there at getting devices. I'm on kubuntu, so do I need gnome libs or sommat?
[23:55] <rikard> Nevermind. It just took forever for some reason. Thank you.
[23:56] <renan> alguem me ajuda
[23:56] <genii> Devourer: The problem being if you manually installed say only gnome without it being part of ubuntu-desktop ... when you remove with purge or so the kubuntu-desktop package, it will also wipe out all xserver-xorg dependecies which any window manager may need
