[00:49] all = gone [00:49] yes a blinking cursor [00:49] To bad mate [00:49] you have to install all again [00:49] when I boot from ubuntu 7.1 [00:50] yes.. [00:50] live it halts [00:50] the disc is it clean? [00:50] what did you do before the error ? [00:50] did u tried when booting to look for disc defects? [00:50] i did a chkdsk in safemode [00:51] but then it just black [00:51] try to make it clean again and look for it again disc defects [00:51] should work [00:51] otherwise, reburn Ubuntu 7.10 [00:52] the u works fine normally [00:52] i had it to for about 2 weeks ago [00:52] " Single-depth WCHAN output" is this option must enabled for destktop system kernel [00:52] ? [00:52] if you want to fix [00:52] I had to restart because of a problem with writing the server edition [00:52] buy a new pc :D [00:52] thank you very much lol [00:53] has anyone elses thumbdrives and or dvd roms stopped working out of the blue? [00:53] no, sounds like hal though [00:53] can you manually mount them still (I suspect so) [00:54] cant mount and I am missing my batt meter [00:55] also [00:55] what is the deal with HAL? [00:55] Is there a package update/install log ? [00:56] windows always wants to take control [00:56] i am now trying the safe mode with prompt [00:57] dang it bites [00:57] I almost had the server edition burned [00:57] Could have HAL been messed up when downloading and installing education games? [00:58] what is HAL? [00:58] I crashed windows [00:58] then ubuntu worked live [00:59] cyberponix_: no, HAL is the thing that auto-detects added devices like USB and CDs [00:59] now It won't boot because win is always popping up [00:59] fresh install of xp first? [01:00] windows first is easier yes, but I am fairly interested in what is wrong [01:00] it hangs now in going to safemode and is doing a reboot [01:01] how long is the hang for? safe-mode can be very slow to start [01:01] and starting up normally from windows drive [01:01] so why would have my usb ports and dvdrom stopped working after downloading and installing educational games with synaptic [01:01] instead of going to atapi first [01:01] cyberponix_: i am not sure, and I doubt it is the games [01:01] now I have a black screen [01:02] how do I fix it? everything else works [01:02] no big list pf .sys Echtelion78 ? [01:02] of not pf, sorry [01:02] i don't get a prompt [01:02] it rebooted 'normally' [01:03] ah well, that is something [01:03] but black screen [01:03] i am reseting [01:03] not so good [01:04] try VGA mode off the startupmenu (F8 thingy) [01:04] full stop [01:04] f8 is device priority [01:04] no,as in the bit where you select safe-mode [01:04] when i choose atapi first i get a blinking cursor [01:05] is it on-board RAID? [01:05] k [01:05] no raid [01:05] does the board have that facility though? [01:05] i got the safe mode thingy [01:05] like 4 IDE channels? [01:06] try VGA mode [01:06] i don't have that optiion [01:06] ? [01:06] is there a way to repair HAL? [01:07] i am pondering trying with networking fac because I have a router with virtual server [01:07] cyberponix_: assuming it is hal, and I don't know, sorry [01:07] the command prompt halted [01:07] k I must get some coffee [01:08] i am going for the networking option [01:08] is there anything else it could be? [01:08] discs and usb, almost certaily hal [01:08] the boot always stops at agp440.sys [01:09] but i will let it run [01:09] yeah, leave it for a while [01:09] * Echtelion78 runs for caffeine [01:09] brb [01:09] safe-mode hangs on all sorts of things [01:09] usually mup.sys [01:13] black [01:14] screen is black as my coffee [01:14] we are out of milk and the kitchen is a mess [01:14] k [01:15] * Echtelion78 sips his coffee and ponders [01:15] sounds hosed ... :( [01:15] yeeees [01:15] i got a windows log on [01:15] ah, well, is is OK then [01:16] i don't know yet [01:16] i got a wallpaper now [01:16] does this server have a channel for Konversation? [01:16] anyone experienced with KXdocker? [01:17] beautifull wallpaper from silicon valley [01:17] sdragon1984: yes #konversation [01:18] heh, makes sense [01:18] probably why i didnt think of it =P [01:18] when compiling, default install location is ofen [01:18] often* /usr/local/bin [01:18] should that be different for kubuntu? [01:19] yeeeees [01:20] boot in xp [01:20] skip99: /usr/local/bin/ should be OK [01:21] but /usr/bin is better :) [01:21] ./configure --prefix=/usr [01:21] 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] any ideas? [01:23] it perhaps doesn't get thru configure [01:23] no errors in terminal [01:23] well if it is build bugs, you are in trouble :) [01:24] paste config.log (if there is one) [01:24] k one sec [01:25] just errors part? [01:25] ok i have to unplugg this laptop and rewire my pc [01:26] thx all for the assitense [01:26] skip99: well, if it completed it completed, I am unlikely to be able to fix it anyway, and it is late :) [01:26] assistence [01:26] Dr_willis: do you know anything about HAL [01:27] and coffee safe the day again [01:27] hread model: posix [01:27] gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) [01:27] configure:3859: $? = 0 [01:27] configure:3861: g++ -V &5 [01:27] g++: '-V' option must have argument [01:27] paste as in [01:27] !paste [01:27] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

Every thing but USB ports DVD rom and powermanagment works [01:30] oops i flooded [01:32] cyberponix_: what doesn't work with usb and dvd ? Mounting ? [01:32] even seeing them [01:33] rather I can NOT see them anymore [01:33] did you change something before ? [01:33] cyberponix_: "lsusb" doesn't list anything either? [01:34] check dmesg cyberponix_ [01:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/31091/ for lsusb [01:35] What is a partition tool for Kubuntu/kde 4 ? [01:35] I don't think it's present on the desktop-cd.

Someone was acting like it was a Really Big Deal the other day. [01:38] thank you flaccid ! [01:38] np [01:38] dmesg paste taking awhile [01:38] to post [01:39] buckethead: gtk itself probably 20-50MB. you can check the package sizes [01:39] 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] leba_: yes it will be slow because its running off cd and not hard disk. the read speeds are incredibly slower. [01:41] running a live disk vs installed is much slower [01:41] dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/31097/ [01:41] flaccid, what is the difference between Dapper and Edgy ? [01:42] leba_: they are different releases. [01:42] 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] flaccid: Thanks. [01:43] flaccid, I need one partition tool to format a partition [01:43] 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] cool [01:46] 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] leba_: ok cool. well if the partition is intact you probably have to mount it in disks & filesystems from system settings. [01:49] 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] flaccid, I cannot find disks & filesystems on my system settings. Is it on advanced ot general tab ? [01:50] leba_: advanced [01:51] flaccid, it's not there anymore... [01:51] IS there some place I can go to find help with HAL [01:51] flaccid, under system I jut have Login Manager [01:51] leba_: maybe dapper or edgy doesn't have it [01:51] !mount | leba_ [01:51] leba_: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter [01:51] kasra: you could try to relogin in gnome, by killing the x server [01:52] hmm [01:52] !fstab | leba_ do it manual [01:52] leba_ do it manual: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:52] you can also look at mount to see if its mounted already [01:52] cyberponix_: try the internet [01:53] DUH [01:53] :P === Generic is now known as Ashex [01:53] lol [01:53] matisse: I know , but when I login again afte kde splash I have black screen , seems like visualeffects is still enable [01:53] flaccid, can I install and run qtparted from hardy ? [01:53] leba_: you can from any of them [01:53] been looking HAL seems to be something not many people touch on [01:53] flaccid, I mean hardy desktop cd. [01:53] yes [01:53] flaccid, ok, thank you man ! ;) [01:54] np [01:54] cyberponix_: well, i dont what HAL might be, so i cant help [01:55] cyberponix_: #kde for directly related hal help [01:55] kasra: maybe you cant try something like a saved session or something like that (don't know how its called in English...) [01:55] *can [01:55] HAL is your power managment and what pics up on USB stuff along with your DVD/CD rom(s) [01:55] join #kde [01:55] hal is not powermanagement. [01:56] cyberponix_: HAL did annoy me under Debian, but I solved the problem not by concentrating on hal but on the usb stuff [01:57] i don't see hal being the problem here. we don't know what the problem is [01:58] matisse:safe session ? [01:58] anyeone else ? [01:58] wait a sec. [01:59] kasra: i mean "failsafe" [01:59] dont know if it helps :) [02:00] but there you can start "kcontrol" somehow [02:00] matisse: kde has failsafe ? I'll try , thanks === root is now known as Guest10158 [02:08] Does anyone know how to fix HAL probs? [02:09] maybe if you actually describe the problem and ask a question someone can help [02:09] cyberponix_: | !ask [02:09] 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] cyberponix_: no need to repeat. we referred you to #kde [02:09] hence HAL [02:09] no one there [02:10] 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] if someone could of helped they would of. is someone is not available then nothing you can do here [02:10] sorry flaccid , I didn't know the history [02:11] leba_: um so 8.04 is kde3, so yes i guess [02:11] flaccid, I think 8.04 is kde 3 and 8.04.1 is kde 4, or .. ? [02:13] !download [02:13] Kubuntu can be downloaded in various formats from here: http://kubuntu.org/download.php [02:13] !hardy [02:13] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [02:13] meh the factoids are not great [02:15] leba_: so you get the first one. kubuntu 8.04 - supported until oct 2009 if you want kde3 === metal is now known as metal|afk [02:17] flaccid, ok, I will be downloading the thing. Thank you again brother ;) [02:18] np [02:18] ; [02:19] wait [02:20] flaccid, leba_ as I know, Hardy comes with Kde 4 [02:20] hi [02:20] matisse: the remix does yes. not the normal one [02:21] I've just installed kubuntu hardy heron and for some reason it doesn't properly recognizes my dell e228wfp. any thoughts? [02:22] whats dell e228wfp? [02:22] flaccid: what do I get, if i upgrade with update-manager ? [02:22] 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] that doesnt sound great :/ [02:23] why should it? [02:26] matisse: it will show you whats available before you confirm [02:27] 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] As flaccid said it does depend on the repos you have listed [02:28] repos are disabled [02:28] im pretty confused here heh [02:28] I've just installed kubuntu hardy heron and for some reason it doesn't properly recognizes my dell [02:28] there you go [02:28] matisse: what you trying to do? [02:28] system upgrad [02:28] guido_: dell what? what is it? how does it not properly recognise. please explain [02:28] upgrade of what to what? [02:28] 7.10 to 8.04 [02:29] flaccid: sorry about that,the message was cut off.. my dell e228wfp lcd monitor [02:29] flaccid: it sees it as a generic plug n play and if I manually set it it crashes the x server [02:30] matisse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu [02:30] thx [02:30] guido_: check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:31] flaccid: what am I looking for there? [02:31] guido_: errors etc. [02:31] guido_: you obviously have to look after it has crashed.. [02:32] flaccid: ok, I'll redo the steps that made it crash and then look there [02:32] why do you assume its the monitor, guido_? [02:33] flaccid: are you a konsole guy? [02:33] flaccid: what do you mean? [02:33] i dont use konsole much as i use yakuake [02:33] guido_: what evidence do you have to suggest the problem is the monitor? [02:34] Is that a terminal/shell [02:34] flaccid: well, only the fact that it crashes whenever I change the monitor settings [02:34] * mr---t- will google it [02:35] !repos [02:35] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [02:35] yakuake is a terminal modeled after the Quake console [02:36] guido_: could be many things and likely not the monitor at all [02:37] flaccid: well... I've noticed that this only happens if I use the restricted nvidia drivers [02:37] flaccid: when it's vesa or nv, it doesn't crash [02:38] hi [02:39] 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]
