| bluekb | I am wondering how to raise my maximum possible volume. Despite maxing out volume on all channels, some DVD's and youtube videos are still a bit quiet. | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | for dvds - some players may have a audio plugin to | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | amplify the audio even more. | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | or some sort of 'audio balancing' leveling feature | 01:02 |
| bluekb | Perhaps there are some alsa settings for volume multiplications... I don't know how to find them. | 01:03 |
| bluekb | Dr_willis, which applications? I use vlc, mplayer, xine, and kaffeine interchangeabl. | 01:03 |
| bluekb | *interchangeably | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | I think ive seen it in vlc and mplayer. those are abut the only 2 i ever use. | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | but i havent had to mess with sound in ages on the, | 01:03 |
| bluekb | Still...it'd be nice to have the master settings be a bit more sane. | 01:04 |
| bluekb | I wonder if it's just my sound card. | 01:04 |
| acornstar | hello! | 01:08 |
| acornstar | Is this the right place for some help? | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on the problem. :) | 01:08 |
| bluekb | Yes, probably. If not we will try to find the right place to ask the question | 01:08 |
| acornstar | Two problems...maybe they are easy, maybe not. | 01:08 |
| acornstar | First, I have ethernet connection, but I cant get my wireless to work. I tried checking up online, but couldn't figure it out. If you can help me on this, I would appreciate it. | 01:09 |
| acornstar | Apparently my card is enabled, but it doesnt find any networks. I even installed my card drivers. | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis | Ive given up basicially on wireless. :) So i cant help ya there other then to say 'determine your specific chipset/card and check the wiki/forums' heh. | 01:10 |
| acornstar | ok | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis | even on the laptop i got that wireless DOES work. i seem to ahve to fight with it to make it change networks. | 01:10 |
| acornstar | I'm only using hotspots and whatever is floating around me.... | 01:11 |
| RG-NewGuy | on a live cd you can boot and run from the cd without actually installing correct? | 01:11 |
| Dragnslcr | RG-NewGuy- correct | 01:12 |
| acornstar | where on the wiki does it have that info... | 01:12 |
| acornstar | nevermind...i found it | 01:13 |
| acornstar | my other concern is the touchpad. I have a small vertical scroll section on the right side of my touch pad. It works, but it also causes the mouse to click, which it didn't do in windows, and its quiet annoying.... | 01:15 |
| acornstar | I added gsynaptics, but cant find it or figure out how to use it | 01:15 |
| JackWinter | how do i check which nvidia driver i have installed ? | 01:16 |
| helpy | i can't mount my cdrom any help ? | 01:16 |
| helpy | i get an error that UDF volume cannot be mounted | 01:16 |
| helpy | it was working fine some days ago, i don't know what went wrong | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | acornstar, the command is gsynaptics it seems... | 01:17 |
| acornstar | it says i have to set 'shmconfig' true? | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | i was thinking gsynaptics and its ksynaptics variant. are not really 'working' with the latest X releases any more. they ar4e being replaced by somthing else. | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | acornstar, correct.. you need to tweak the xorg.conf to enable that option... | 01:18 |
| acornstar | do I use Kate for that? | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | you could I guess.. with 'kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf' - but i dont rember where that option goes exactly. | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | i recall the gsynaptics homepage having details on that topic. :) | 01:19 |
| JackWinter | i would use konqueror, and then right click edit as root | 01:19 |
| acornstar | ok..let me try | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | i would use vi, and have it edited and saved befor you could find it in the filemanger.. :P | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | Of course you will need to restart X for the option to take affect. | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | and even THEN.. im not sure if gsynaptics even works right any more | 01:20 |
| helpy | i can't mount my cdrom any help ? | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | helpy, try mounting from the terminal? | 01:21 |
| acornstar | what line do I edit, because I dont see shmconfig | 01:21 |
| JackWinter | hehe Dr_willis that's all these years of windows i was forced through :) | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | sudo mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -- or somthing similer. | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | acornstar, i dont rember/ you add that line somewhere.. the gsynaptic hompage had details last i had to do that task. | 01:22 |
| acornstar | ok | 01:22 |
| helpy | doesnt work | 01:22 |
| helpy | gives me an error | 01:22 |
| helpy | mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 01:22 |
| helpy | it has something to do with permissions and i have no idea how to get permissions | 01:23 |
| helpy | i am already root | 01:23 |
| acornstar | Alright...restarting....i'll be back | 01:25 |
| JackWinter | helpy: sudo su ? | 01:27 |
| helpy | doesnt work | 01:27 |
| helpy | i am already root | 01:27 |
| acornstar | It worked...but there is no option to disable tapping in the vertical scrolling region | 01:28 |
| JackWinter | yeah the q was jokingly asking if you used sudo su :) | 01:28 |
| JackWinter | sorry that i can't help you to get the cd working. did you try with another cd ? | 01:29 |
| helpy | nope | 01:31 |
| JackWinter | maybe the cd is bad | 01:31 |
| helpy | trying now | 01:31 |
| acornstar | I found alot of different option for xorg.conf but is there one to disable tapping in the vert edge zone? | 01:33 |
| ign0ramus | hi all | 01:33 |
| ign0ramus | i'm an idiot - what's the command to delete a directory that is not empty? | 01:33 |

| Blackdeath | Hello, can I get any help out here for finding drivers | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | For what device exactly Blackdeath ? | 01:45 |
| Blackdeath | Wait one, please | 01:45 |
| Blackdeath | Intel onboard wireless | 01:46 |
| Blackdeath | 82801G | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | All i know about wireless.. (other then that it can be a headache) is at | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | !wireless | 01:47 |
| * Dr_willis_ pokes the bot. | 01:47 | |
| Blackdeath | I actually have an HP Pavilion dv9347cl if that help any | 01:47 |
| Blackdeath | !wireless | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | the exact chipset of the wireless card. will be 'critical' in determing what you need to do to get wireless going on that laptop. You could also google/check the ubuntu forums for that specic laptop | 01:48 |
| john_ | Hi. Could someone explain to me what I have to do to get files from one computer to another over a network using Ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | john_, what os is on the other pc? | 01:48 |
| john_ | Both have Ubuntu Hardy | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | john_, simple way is to use ssh/scp | 01:48 |
| PiPhi | I'm looking for help on dual-monitor-configuration. xinarama works but the monitors don't cover the whole virtual screen | 01:48 |
| Blackdeath | Thanks Dr_willis | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | PiPhi, using nvidia or ati video cards? or other? | 01:49 |
| JackWinter | john_: or look into nfs, there are some tutorials on the forums | 01:49 |
| john_ | Dr_willis Do I need an IP number to use ssh/scp? | 01:49 |
| PiPhi | ati. it's a AMD690GM-M2 Mainboard with radeon 1250 buildt-in and hdmi and VGA-output | 01:50 |
| === root is now known as Guest14632 | ||
| Dr_willis_ | john_, well.. if a machine has no ip#. not a lot can accessit.. since its err.. not really on the network then... | 01:50 |
| Blackdeath | seems like the world of !wireless is afk tonight | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | so either the machines name. or the ip# is normally needed. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php scp examples | 01:51 |
| acornstar | wow...i messed up my mouse, and had to undo the xorf changes! | 01:51 |
| john_ | dr_willis therein lies my problem. ifconfig only reports the IPv6 address of eth0 on both machines, but no IPv4 address. It makes me sad. | 01:51 |
| JackWinter | john_: you always need ips for networkin unde unix. use on of the reserved address ranges like 192.168.*.* | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | scp example.c username@azure.itlabs.umn.edu:~ | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | shows how to copy a file (example.c) from your current directory at home to your IT Labs account: | 01:51 |
| Blackdeath | Hum... | 01:53 |
| Blackdeath | Dr_willis, what site can I google for support on wireless | 01:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | PiPhi, no idea on dual monitors and twinview. | 01:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | Blackdeath, the ubuntu forums/wiki would be the place to start | 01:54 |
| john_ | dr_willis How do I make it use an IP address in the reserved range | 01:54 |
| Blackdeath | So the Kubuntu wiki? | 01:54 |
| Blackdeath | Can I get a linxorz | 01:54 |
| acornstar | on the + side, i installed wlassistant and I think I can connect wirelessly now! | 01:55 |
| acornstar | maybe not | 01:55 |
| acornstar | it cant connect to any of the networks | 01:55 |
| JackWinter | Blackdeath: i think i read that you can use a windows driver if no native driver is available. google for ndis wrapper linux or somesuch | 01:55 |
| acornstar | it cant connect to any of the networks | 01:55 |
| acornstar | any ideas? | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | john_, kubutnu has some network config tools in the settings menus. I just let all my machines use dhcp. | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis_ | john_, you are refering to a WIRED network? not wireless? | 01:57 |
| PiPhi | I'm editing xorg.conf, because the systemconfiguration doesn't know about the two screens. only one monitor is available there | 01:58 |
| john_ | dr_willis It is a wired network, but so far I've just been using it to share an ADSL modem between two computers. I've been using a generic Ubuntu setup. Is there an easy way that I can use the kubuntu network config tools? | 01:59 |
| JackWinter | what is the ip of the router ? | 02:00 |
| nejode | john_: if you want a regular local network you'll need samba or NFS | 02:01 |
| JackWinter | or even easier assign some dhcp addresses in the router... | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | or check the machines to see if they do in fact have ip#s | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | which i imagine they do. | 02:02 |
| JackWinter | otherwise you won't connect to the net :) | 02:03 |
| john_ | But to use NFS, I still need to get regular IPv4 worling right? So far as I can tell, I only have IPv4 through pppoe with the computers connecting through a router to the ADSL modem using IPv6 which makes no sense to me at all. | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis_ | networking basics. ;0 | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis_ | ive never used adsl. so no clue on that. | 02:03 |
| john_ | It is the basics which confound me. | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis_ | the router should be giveing all the machines ip#'s | 02:03 |
| nejode | ¿you sure you're using IPv6? | 02:04 |
| === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR | ||
| john_ | I'm not sure, but ifconfig shows an IPv4 address for ppp0 and an IPv6 addr for eth0 on both computers. | 02:04 |
| john_ | Would this mean the router isn't working properly? | 02:05 |
| nejode | ¿what's the address? | 02:05 |
| john_ | On one machine eth0 is fe80::21e:90ff:fe1d:eb46/64 and ppp0 is 138.89.61.58 | 02:06 |
| john_ | On the other etho is fe80::210:dcff:fec6:150b/64 and ppp0 is 70.21.159.129 | 02:07 |
| Dragnslcr | scp should work fine over IPv6 if that's what your internal network is using | 02:07 |
| JackWinter | my ifconfig shows an interface with a ip4 and a ip6 address. the other interfaace is the loopback, and that is all no ppp0... | 02:07 |
| szakulec | folks, I've got an unusual issue here: after a graphical login, my keyboard responds like it's stuck- if you hold down the key, it works, otherwise no | 02:07 |
| szakulec | if I log out and pick fail safe or switch to a console, the keyboard works fine | 02:08 |
| PiPhi | is there a chance to get an expert for dual-display / xorg.conf in another time? | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | so on KDM screen it works good.. but on kde desktop its messed up eh szakulec ? | 02:09 |
| szakulec | yeap | 02:09 |
| szakulec | if I hold down the keys for a few seconds, it will start repeating them | 02:10 |
| JackWinter | PiPhi: what gfx card do use, maybe the right channel would be a better bet | 02:10 |
| nejode | john_: in konsole> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ... and run ifconfig again to see what network address you get | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | PiPhi, for some of that stuff. i often search the gentoo wikis :) There is a dualhead ubuntu wiki page or 2 also. | 02:10 |
| PiPhi | JackWinter: it's a AMD690GM-M2 Mainboard with radeon 1250 buildt-in and hdmi and VGA-output | 02:11 |
| PiPhi | Dr-willis_: nobody seems to use onboard-grafic. I found no solutions to my problem in any forum or wiki | 02:13 |
| JackWinter | PiPhi: try #ati | 02:14 |
| PiPhi | JackWinter: #at ??? | 02:15 |

| LetsGo67 | genii: oops, sorry, not using KDE. Maybe I shouldn't be here... | 02:40 |

| acornstar | ping then the IP | 02:44 |
| genii | acornstar: Yes. to kill it ctrl-c | 02:44 |

| genii | acornstar: Did it release the IP and get a new one properly however? | 02:57 |
| acornstar | yes, i think so | 02:57 |
| genii | acornstar: Please use pastebin to show result of command: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 02:58 |
| acornstar | execute this command when i'm connected wirelessly only, right? | 02:59 |
| genii | acornstar: Yes. Then you could connect by wired to post the result to the pastebin website | 03:00 |
| genii | acornstar: It may be if you use a combination of wired/wireless the wired connection becomes default gateway also. | 03:01 |
| acornstar | sorry, what is pastebin? | 03:01 |
| acornstar | nevermind | 03:01 |
| acornstar | i see | 03:01 |
| genii | acornstar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ You copy text from your computer to there and then give us the link | 03:01 |
| acornstar | http://paste.ubuntu.com/34253/ | 03:03 |
| acornstar | I gave you the results for wired and wireless | 03:03 |
| genii | reading | 03:05 |
| genii | acornstar: So the problem seems to be as I stated. The wired connection has it's own settings which get into the nameserver sections. Then the wireless connection tries to use those values and fails. | 03:07 |
| acornstar | ok! | 03:08 |
| acornstar | so how do we fix it? | 03:08 |
| genii | acornstar: As an experiment. Boot the machine with no LAN cable and then see if it connects properly through only the wireless. | 03:09 |
| nuxil | anyone know of proper way to convert Pdf to Html ? pdftohtml makes it unreadble. i tried with both -c , -p options.. but it still sucks. | 03:09 |
| genii | acornstar: The wired connection is auto as well, yes? | 03:09 |
| acornstar | yes | 03:09 |
| acornstar | i just plug it in and it works | 03:10 |
| genii | acornstar: OK. So when no wired connection when it tries to find network, the wifi should become default. But please test this. | 03:10 |
| acornstar | how do I make the wifi try to become default? | 03:11 |
| nuxil | acornstar, you can bridge the two nics. then it doesnt matter which is default | 03:12 |
| nuxil | acornstar, then etc0 and wlan0 becomes br0 which you set as default | 03:12 |

| histo | Hydrogen: what are you looking for? | 03:35 |
| dolo | anyone here good with usplash? | 03:37 |
| genii | acornstar: I see you copied verbatim the example. Are your interfaces in fact called eth0 and eth1? For wireless the more common name for the wireless would probably be wlan0 or ath0 | 03:37 |
| acornstar | ah | 03:37 |
| acornstar | ! | 03:37 |

| * histo curses ubottu for not working | 03:42 | |
| nuxil | acornstar, your not using ndiswrapper are you? | 03:43 |
| acornstar | nuxil: i think I have it isntalled | 03:43 |
| genii | acornstar: OK so in this case use eth0 and wlan0 for that example. Why your eth0 has 118.38.19.96 is interesting. The nameservers you posted before were 168.126.63.1 and 168.126.63.2 for example. | 03:43 |
| nuxil | installed and configured are 2 diffrent things | 03:43 |
| acornstar | ok..let me change the interfaces file, then I can work on configuring ndiswrapper | 03:44 |
| ubuntu | yo | 03:44 |
| ubuntu | trying out kubuntu.. any recommendations? | 03:44 |
| nuxil | acornstar, when ifconfig shows wlan0 and wmaster0 you are most likelt using a linux module,, not ndiswrapper. and this is a bug in many drivers | 03:44 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Raas | ||
| acornstar | so how do I configure it? | 03:45 |
| acornstar | genii: i made the changes...will reboot in a minute | 03:46 |
| nuxil | genii, look in the ubuntuforums | 03:46 |
| * nuxil kicks the bot | 03:46 | |
| genii | nuxil: wmaster0 is the USB host adapter of wlan0 | 03:47 |
| nuxil | genii, is a common bug in driver | 03:47 |
| nuxil | +s | 03:47 |
| nuxil | genii, 90% of ppl haveing both wlan0 and wmaster0 have wron module loaded or they have to use ndiswrapper | 03:48 |
| * nuxil know.. he had the same issue. | 03:49 | |
| acornstar | genii: here is the updated interfaces: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34263/ | 03:49 |
| koopa | hello, I'm using hardy on a powerpc. I can't seem to install sun-java6-jre because adept says that sun-java6-bin is not installable | 03:49 |
| histo | koopa: are you user that java6 is built for ppc | 03:50 |
| genii | nuxil: My realtek 8187 wireless for example is on an internal USB bus. So I see wmaster0 with an impossible mac address since this is actually the usb host adapter of the r8187 card itself | 03:50 |
| nuxil | genii, normaly its the same address just with more numbers. ex ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00:00:00:00 | 03:51 |

| nuxil | genii, that can be changed with ifconfig wmaster0 hw ether NEWMAC | 03:54 |
| koopa | thanks | 03:54 |
| acornstar | nuxil: i previously added my driver with Windows Wireless Drivers, which is ndiswrapper, right? | 03:55 |
| nuxil | acornstar, yes | 03:55 |
| genii | acornstar: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34265/ | 03:55 |
| acornstar | OK...i'll try it | 03:56 |
| flaccid | why the bridge? | 03:56 |
| genii | flaccid: He has problems with wired/wireless combo using correct route/dns | 03:58 |
| acornstar | genii: still didnt work. | 03:58 |
| flaccid | what kind of problems? | 03:58 |
| genii | acornstar: After any changes there, issue: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:58 |
| acornstar | So i'm using wlassistant, and previously, it was finidng networks, but now it doesnt. Instead, KNetwork Manager is finidng them... | 03:59 |
| acornstar | genii: error: no such device | 03:59 |
| genii | flaccid: Wired works but then switch to wireless doesn't. Ping by IP works then but not ping by name. He needs wireless latches to free network in range | 04:00 |
| flaccid | wouldn't not by name suggest resolution problem? | 04:00 |
| acornstar | but with knetwork manager, i cant connect to them...it just stays at "configuring device" | 04:01 |
| * nuxil still thinks he isnt using ndiswrapper | 04:01 | |
| flaccid | good idea to check the logs | 04:01 |
| mortici | how do i edit things in the login manager in kde4? | 04:02 |
| nuxil | mortici move to #kubuntu-kde4 | 04:02 |
| mortici | done | 04:02 |
| acornstar | nuxil: so, installing the driver isnt enough? | 04:02 |
| nuxil | acornstar, check that ndiswrapper is loaded | 04:03 |
| acornstar | how do I check if its loaded? | 04:03 |
| nuxil | lsmod | 04:03 |
| genii | acornstar: Did you do the step of adding "bonding mode=active-backup miimon=100" in your /etc/modules as the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785471 suggested? | 04:03 |
| acornstar | i typed ndiswrapper -l and it showed me the driver i isntalled | 04:04 |
| acornstar | genii: yes, i believe so...i'll double check | 04:04 |
| acornstar | sugenii: yes, its the bottom line of that file | 04:05 |
| nuxil | acornstar, did you read this doc? | 04:06 |
| nuxil | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 04:06 |
| genii | acornstar: OK. sudo modprobe bonding then issue again: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:06 |

| acornstar | what a mess! | 04:31 |
| flaccid | acornstar: i'd be checking logs and making sure your driver/ndiswrapper is working properly | 04:31 |
| acornstar | i dont know how to do that | 04:32 |
| mortici | How do i update my locale settings? | 04:34 |
| japa | is it possible to rename teh entries in /dev/ ? | 04:34 |

| acornstar | under system settings - network, only eth0 is listed | 04:40 |

| flaccid | acornstar: then your driver is not loading | 04:40 |
| flaccid | what is your lscpi entry for the card again, acornstar? | 04:40 |
| acornstar | but my card showed up before I ever tried to install the driver | 04:41 |
| flaccid | that doesn't conclude anything especially if you have tried to reconfigure it in however many ways | 04:41 |
| acornstar | well..i'll try to reload the driver | 04:42 |
| acornstar | i reloaded the driver...still nothing | 04:44 |

| Ashex | I never really bothered to take it off :/ | 05:03 |

| Ashex | for some reason, the system is more sluggish then when I was running 32-bit | 05:03 |
| Ashex | my biggest problem is that I like playing with random projects I find, and I keep running into errors compiling | 05:04 |
| nuxil | when all apps are ported to 64 and new ones are only written in it. and is stable there i'll change to 64 | 05:04 |

| Ashex | too much work to install an app | 05:05 |

| mpsan | This is an 8GB USB drive, too. | 05:26 |
| mpsan | It comes up fine and I can config my Internet, but if I create a user it dies. I even got firefox 3 | 05:27 |
| flaccid | mpsan: go back to kdm and login as a normal user under failsafe session. then run startkde and see the problem | 05:27 |
| mpsan | not sure I can go to kdm...is that on the pendrive install from the live cd? | 05:28 |
| mpsan | Actually, do I even need to create a user? | 05:29 |
| flaccid | mpsan: um it should be if auto login is turned off. you could goto a tty and do sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop; sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 05:29 |
| flaccid | well its a good idea to change the users from the way its set up for a live cd (if you are doing persistent pen drive) | 05:30 |
| mpsan | ok will try...and I am using persistant. At the start after the install there is no login screen and I am just in KDE all looks good. | 05:31 |

| flaccid | nuxil: pdf is now standard | 05:38 |
| nuxil | its shitty format..ok for printing,, not for reading | 05:38 |
| flaccid | i disagree | 05:38 |

| chapa | tengo un problema, alguien habla español? | 05:40 |
| flaccid | the limitation you are talking about is due to the gui viewer not the pdf format | 05:40 |
| matthew__ | PDF is only useful if you want to send documents cross platform | 05:40 |
| flaccid | pdf is useful for many many things | 05:41 |
| nuxil | matthew__, yes or as i said,, printing, | 05:41 |
| matthew__ | ever then there are better mediums but PDF is the most widely accepted | 05:41 |
| flaccid | white papers, ebooks, graphic design mockups, invoices etc.etc... | 05:41 |

| matthew__ | ebook = docbook format : graphic = png,jpg etc | 05:42 |
| nuxil | flaccid, a plain doc format can do that :p | 05:42 |

| chapa | como me conecto con kubuntu es? | 05:44 |
| flaccid | you cannot put images in normal text and its not suitable for these media types | 05:44 |
| nuxil | openoffice and you can put in all the pic and text you want.. and its even esyer to read then pdf | 05:44 |
| matthew__ | also XHTML is a good language for it | 05:44 |
| mr---t- | join/#kubuntu-es | 05:44 |
| flaccid | the oasis document formats are not well supported yet. | 05:44 |
| matthew__ | since it's initial purpose was to get info across to other users | 05:44 |
| zanberdo | no one has any experience with burning a ripped dvd and not being able to play back the resulting dvd on the same machine used to burn it, yet it will play back fine on stand-alone players? | 05:44 |
| flaccid | no xhtml is suitable for the web | 05:44 |
| flaccid | zanberdo: don't repeat please | 05:45 |
| matthew__ | and the web is not cross platform? | 05:45 |
| flaccid | matthew__: its not suitable for these types of media. it would also require hiring a web developer for needless authoring to the web medium. sending a html document is not suitable and lacks authoring | 05:46 |
| flaccid | and .mht is not well supported yet anyway not is it de facto standard :) | 05:46 |
| flaccid | not=nor | 05:46 |
| Agent_bob | html + jpg is a standard so to say | 05:49 |
| flaccid | and is not 1 file. | 05:49 |
| mr---t- | chapa #kubuntu-es por espanol | 05:49 |
| Agent_bob | correct, but you could make a zip file out of the two of them and it would be one file | 05:49 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 05:50 |
| matthew__ | there is a way to embed images into the HTML itself | 05:50 |
| flaccid | this is one reason why pdf was invented. zip is not foss either or a standard :) | 05:50 |
| Agent_bob | matthew__ i have only seen that a couple of times and it's ugly with a big you. | 05:51 |
| Agent_bob | flaccid jpg is not foss | 05:51 |
| flaccid | you guys are missing the point. i work in the creative media industries and it would be a pita to export stuff html and put in a zip and pass around to clients. 1 pdf document is quick and easy | 05:51 |
| Agent_bob | pdf is not foss | 05:51 |
| flaccid | jpeg isn't but pdf is now | 05:52 |
| Agent_bob | well ok. maybe is now. but wasn't yestergo | 05:52 |
| nuxil | flaccid, i get your point.. but i still dislike it. or should i say all the guis for it | 05:52 |
| flaccid | 'graphic designer send me your mockup for clients in xhtml format with a print stylesheet in a zip' 'wtf'.. | 05:52 |
| * Agent_bob doesn't like pdf just because it became foss... | 05:52 | |
| nuxil | flaccid, its not impossible | 05:52 |
| flaccid | its actually really good if you look into it and eps.. | 05:53 |
| Agent_bob | somehow that was too little too late to make me like pdf | 05:53 |
| flaccid | nuxil: its a pita and would be laughed at | 05:53 |
| nuxil | i would not | 05:53 |
| nuxil | :) | 05:53 |
| flaccid | and it wouldn't print properlly at all if you know anything about css and printing from web | 05:53 |
| flaccid | only css element you can put in is a page break and then it can render differently in whatever browser they choose to use. this is only 1 problem... | 05:54 |
| Agent_bob | most webpages don't print correctly to a text based browser | 05:54 |
| matthew__ | Printing from the web can be done extremely well if you do your CSS right | 05:54 |
| flaccid | matthew__: yes i do it for a living. but you aint going to be able to do it with a high resolution TIFF are you :) | 05:54 |
| Agent_bob | heh it wouldn't scale | 05:55 |
| flaccid | this is why pdf was designed so it works for print and also for viewing on the desktop | 05:55 |
| Agent_bob | and sucks in general for viewing on the desktop | 05:56 |
| nuxil | indeed | 05:56 |
| nuxil | as i said.. ok for printing not for viewing | 05:56 |
| flaccid | um it comes down to the quality of the pdf and the viewer. i have read thick novels and manuals in pdf on my 15.4" notebook with kpdf or okular and its amazing | 05:57 |
| nuxil | with a zoom on 300 % i guess | 05:57 |
| Agent_bob | + side scrolling | 05:58 |
| flaccid | depends on how the pdf is made and the quality and use of vectors/true type fonts etc | 05:58 |
| nuxil | :p | 05:58 |
| flaccid | ctrl + mouse wheel = quick way to required zoom | 05:58 |
| Agent_bob | oh buy new hardware to support the new software you say M$ ??? | 05:59 |
| flaccid | heh where did that come from? | 05:59 |
| Agent_bob | my lappy didn't come with a scroll wheel | 05:59 |
| flaccid | thats just a default shortcut on a lot of platforms. do you have a scroll thing in the touchpad? | 06:00 |
| Agent_bob | nope that's what i just said. | 06:00 |
| flaccid | well depending on your pdf document viewer, it should have zoom and kpdf you can configure shortcuts etc. | 06:01 |
| Agent_bob | i can zoom but it's still a pain, and awkward, and i'm too lazy to use pdf ... | 06:01 |
| nuxil | to bad pdftohtml cant convert properly :( | 06:02 |
| Agent_bob | give me plain text. if there is a pic. add the jpg or png or what ever and i might look at, or i might not. | 06:02 |
| Agent_bob | *totxt | 06:03 |
| flaccid | nuxil: well there is obviously more work to do in that project. i wouldn't expect there to be a good pdf to html converter yet considering the difference in technologies | 06:04 |
| nuxil | not only more work to be done.. ALOT more work has to be done. | 06:05 |
| flaccid | to some extent there is fuzzy logic/AI in the code because it has to work out how it is going to layout the existing pdf documents objects in html/css .. | 06:05 |
| flaccid | nuxil: why are you converting pdftohtml? | 06:05 |
| nuxil | bc i cant stand reading pdf. | 06:06 |
| Agent_bob | cause he doesn't like pdf | 06:06 |
| Agent_bob | same reason i have a few times | 06:06 |
| flaccid | hehe. maybe google's engine is good enough | 06:06 |
| flaccid | well if the author made a crap pdf then i don't believe you, but it aint the pdf standard's fault | 06:06 |
| nuxil | flaccid, sure it is.. i found a book on knowfree.net. been searchin for day for a html one without lucj | 06:07 |
| Agent_bob | don't believe me/us ??? | 06:07 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 06:07 |
| flaccid | um well like i said if the pdf aint good then its the same as someone making a crap web page, its just a dif medium | 06:08 |
| Agent_bob | in my case i think it's probably more the app used to view the pdf. i have only tried "acrobat reader, kpdf, xpdf and something gnome defaults too" all were total crap imo. | 06:09 |
| nuxil | well.. i rather have this book as a crapy html code than reading this pdf.. tobad pdftohtml puts text ontop of eachoter | 06:10 |
| nuxil | it becomes unreadeble | 06:10 |
| flaccid | nuxil: you could manually overwrite that with css/user stylesheet | 06:10 |
| nuxil | 643 pages | 06:10 |
| nuxil | :( | 06:10 |
| flaccid | nuxil: could be done with 1 css selector like body { line-height: 2em } | 06:11 |
| chipbuddy | i'm using 7.10 right now and all the graphics stuff is working great. But earlier when i was using 8.04 i had a really tough time will all the eye candy. Why are things so different between these two versions? | 06:11 |
| flaccid | Agent_bob: i guess you are a text man | 06:11 |
| Agent_bob | i guess | 06:12 |
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy cause they made the newer version more automatic for you, so that it "just works" | 06:13 |
| * flaccid sings a song 'text man, text man..' | 06:13 | |
| chipbuddy | agent_bob: how thoughtful of them. is there any way i can use 8.04 without their help in this regard? | 06:14 |
| Fieldy | hello, in the network configuration, i am trying to connect to my wireless router, which is using wpa2. i only see options for wep, is there something I can do to bring wpa2 support? | 06:14 |
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy not sure. depends on your expertez3e to some degree. | 06:15 |
| nuxil | !wpa | 06:15 |
| * nuxil forgot the bot is down | 06:15 | |
| Fieldy | thanks for trying :) i'll try again later | 06:16 |
| chipbuddy | Agent_bob: well, i definitely do not have 1337 skills | 06:16 |
| Agent_bob | bot is down ??? O.0 | 06:16 |
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy well short answer is "not easily" then. | 06:16 |
| nuxil | Fieldy, look into wpa_supplicant and wpa_passphrase | 06:17 |
| === EatThisAndLive is now known as eatThisAndDie | ||
| Fieldy | nuxil: yep. i looked for both in add/remove programs but there were no matches | 06:17 |
| === C2454524 is now known as chalcedony | ||
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy you could stick where you are until the next release and see if it is any "less helpful" in that reguard. it might actually "just work" for you. | 06:17 |
| chipbuddy | ok... so given that i'm really not super clever with all this linux stuff, am i really missing out on anything important? | 06:18 |
| Agent_bob | it's only two monthes | 06:18 |
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy no. you are not missing out on anything but "hype" imo. | 06:18 |
| chipbuddy | oh snap... i was wondering when they were going to add "hype"... ok i'm going back to 8.04 | 06:19 |
| nuxil | Fieldy, surely wpa supplicant is in the repos | 06:20 |
| Agent_bob | a new release means, means new issues and new bugs the best one can hope for is that the same old bugs and issues are not just added too | 06:20 |
| nuxil | Fieldy, did you edit /etc/network/interfaces | 06:20 |
| Fieldy | nuxil: i would have thought so too, i searched for 'wpa' as well as 'supplicant' with no results | 06:20 |
| Fieldy | nuxil: nope | 06:20 |
| Fieldy | new kubuntu user, if that is expected, i wouldn't know | 06:21 |
| Agent_bob | wpasupplicant - Client support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) | 06:21 |
| Agent_bob | in the repos ^ | 06:21 |
| Fieldy | strange. is using add/remove programs th e right way? | 06:21 |
| chipbuddy | so for anyone who cares to answer: what one thing do you think kde does better than gnome? | 06:21 |
| nuxil | Fieldy, use adept_manager | 06:22 |
| Agent_bob | try a konsole and type in sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant | 06:22 |
| chipbuddy | er... wait... i meant: please name one specific thing you feel kde does better than gnome | 06:22 |
| nuxil | or that | 06:22 |
| Fieldy | okay; that system is on the other side of the room, brb | 06:22 |
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy configurability | 06:22 |
| Agent_bob | chipbuddy right click anything in kde or more specificly right click everything in kde | 06:22 |
| matthew__ | kde has a more integrated feel to it where as gnome uses all kinds of applications (it even uses the KDE webdev application) | 06:23 |
| nuxil | Fieldy, go to ubuntu forums. its explain in details there howto get it up and running,, | 06:24 |
| emmy_ | ¡Nos vemos! | 06:25 |
| nuxil | was is das | 06:25 |

| petyrc | I'm new to unbuntu. Just bought a dell 530 with it installed. How do install monitor drivers? | 07:36 |
| timo | looks like the *buntu gurus that usually hang out here is offline and/or sleeping. | 07:45 |
| timo | petyrc, usually it uses the best drivers automatically. if its messed up beyond what you can change with System Settings > Monitor&Display > hardware I would try look into X config stuff. -you'll probably find two tons of tutorials/howto's on google | 07:49 |
| yuji | petyrc: do you mean your regular display drivers? | 07:49 |
| timo | kubuntu uses open source drivers / configuration, which it downloads automatically when you upgrade your system, from the repositories. | 07:50 |
| petyrc | Dell drivers for 22in monitor. I also want to change the refresh rate which is at 60. This make my eyes very tired. | 07:51 |
| needhelp | !skype | 08:00 |
| needhelp | !apt | 08:11 |
| needhelp | helo | 08:11 |
| dwidmann | petyrc: if you can find out the hsync and vrefresh values for the monitor, it'll be trivial to force X to use them | 08:12 |
| dwidmann | petyrc: (hsync = horizontal sync, vrefresh = vertical refresh) | 08:13 |
| dwidmann | petyrc: googling the monitor's model number might net you these values | 08:13 |
| petyrc | thanks for the help. will try your advice | 08:14 |

| dwidmann | edulix, probably not, you're supposed to "hit all the bumps in the road", only try to shoot straight through if you know exactly what you're doing and how to fix the mess | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | acke adjust your ~/.dmrc ? | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | acke or ~/.session* | 11:05 |
| Edulix | ok, so I'll upgrade first to gutsy | 11:08 |
| Obsoletist | edulix, I am just now getting comfortably into the mediocre 'user' skill level, but I have had no problems with hardy. it's been good and stable, with few exceptions. Also, the upgraded look and feel has been worth the very few minor inconveniences I've faced. | 11:09 |

| acornstar | no help with webcam driver installation? | 13:48 |
| marcin | kde 3 | 13:48 |
| serzholino | for kde4.1 install kubuntu-kde4-desktop but first you will need to add extra package sources, see here http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 | 13:49 |
| marcin | kde 4 is bether | 13:49 |

| serzholino | 3 is more stable and polished | 13:49 |
| serzholino | 4.1 was just released | 13:49 |
| serzholino | will be default in intrpid | 13:50 |
| marcin | hm mayby ill try kde 4 | 13:50 |
| serzholino | better wait for interpid | 13:50 |
| dwidmann | no need to choose, install both and then decide :) | 13:50 |
| marcin | but if i crash my linux how can i reper? | 13:50 |
| marcin | XD | 13:50 |
| serzholino | it wont | 13:51 |
| marcin | ok i trust u :D | 13:51 |
| serzholino | if you fail to login in kde4 session, just select kde3 or gnome session | 13:51 |
| marcin | ok | 13:51 |
| marcin | sudo install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 13:52 |
| marcin | ? | 13:52 |
| serzholino | first add sources as described here http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 | 13:53 |
| marcin | ok | 13:53 |
| serzholino | then sudo aptitude install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 13:54 |

| Lunchbreak^ | Where do I find drivers for my graphic card (earlyer used with windows) to Kubuntu? | 14:01 |
| serzholino | Lunchbreak^: should be shipped with distro | 14:04 |
| serzholino | and installed out of the box | 14:04 |
| Lunchbreak^ | I downloaded Kubuntu and burned an installation disk... you mean Kubunt finds the drivers automatically? | 14:05 |
| rav | hello. I'm setting up compiz, with 4 desktops. But when I click on the pager's to go to the third desktop, it brings me back to the first | 14:05 |
| marcin | so i must first add this to sources.list | 14:06 |
| marcin | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/? | 14:06 |
| [pyro] | rav: you need to make sure you have 4 desktops setup in your compiz config | 14:06 |
| Lunchbreak^ | Are there any diagnostic tool like PCWizard for Kubuntu/Linux? | 14:07 |
| rav | [pyro]: in ccsm, there's a slider for number of desktops, but it seems to be locked at a value of 1 | 14:07 |
| [pyro] | yeah there is another slider under it (i cant remember what its called), which you need to make 4 as well | 14:08 |
| Lunchbreak^ | Does programs for other Linux versions (Ubuntu/Red Hat etc) work with Kubuntu? | 14:08 |
| [pyro] | then you will be able to move the 1st slider (going by memory here) | 14:08 |
| rav | [pyro]: there are 3 sliders: Horizontal virtual size, Vertical virtual size and number of Desktops | 14:08 |
| dwidmann | Lunchbreak^: ubuntu and kubuntu use the same packages/same repositories | 14:09 |

| serzholino | Lunchbreak^: ubuntu and kubuntu use common package archive | 14:11 |

| revolutionize | is there a way to put linux on a creative zen media player device? | 14:11 |
| [pyro] | rav: its on that screen, have a play with the sliders, i cant remember what combination but i remember i had to move one before i could move the other one. I found compiz to buggy with my vid card so i uninstalled it, otherwise id check my settings. | 14:12 |

| mati | The funny thing is that system sounds worked after installation, but they don't now :/ | 14:17 |
| [pyro] | mati: have you installed the required additional packages to play MP3 files? | 14:18 |
| ubunturos | mati: suprising! try playing a .ogg file, and see if it works | 14:18 |
| mati | Ok, ill try | 14:19 |
| marcin | i have kubuntu in synaptic | 14:19 |
| ubunturos | marcin: what's that? Isn't it the reverse? | 14:20 |
| Gogool^ | I got this error after installing Kubuntu: GRUB loading please wait, Error 18 | 14:20 |
| mati | Nope, ogg files don't work too | 14:21 |
| ubunturos | mati: looks like the sound server didn't start. May be log off once, restart and check again | 14:21 |
| ubunturos | mati: that though, is called as the worst advice | 14:21 |
| mati | I have this problem for few days already, so I logged off/restarted system a couple of times already | 14:21 |
| ubunturos | mati: hmm, ok. | 14:22 |
| ubunturos | mati: I'm not really sure, what the solution could be. | 14:22 |
| mati | Ehhhhh... Since sound worked after installation I think that system reinstall is the only solution for me ;/ | 14:23 |
| ubunturos | Gogool^: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml | 14:23 |
| Gogool^ | thanks | 14:24 |
| mati | But thanks anyway | 14:24 |
| ubunturos | mati: do you get a "dialog box" stating, that the sound server didn't start when you log in? | 14:24 |
| mati | nope | 14:24 |
| ubunturos | mati: which version of Kubuntu? | 14:24 |
| mati | I checked kmix, my sound settings also seem to be ok | 14:25 |
| mati | 8.04 | 14:25 |
| ubunturos | mati: oh, ok. | 14:25 |
| Gogool^ | What does "the front" means? : "Try an update for your BIOS and/or move your boot partition to the front" | 14:25 |
| ubunturos | mati: may be those who know a solution, aren't around :( | 14:25 |
| ubunturos | Gogool^: do you have more than one Hard disk? (and installed Kubuntu on second hard disk?) | 14:25 |
| jaro | anybody from slovakia? | 14:26 |
| Gogool^ | ubunturos: I have only 1 harddisk - 250 GB | 14:27 |
| ubunturos | Gogool^: how old is your BIOS? | 14:27 |
| Gogool^ | ubunturos: can I see that in the BIOS? | 14:27 |
| ubunturos | Gogool^: not really, but you may see the date, on the "FIRST" screen that appears when you boot. (The "energy" symbol on your monitor, your "FIRST" screen) | 14:28 |
| Gogool^ | CMOS Setup utility - Copyright 1984-2001 Award Software. | 14:29 |
| ubunturos | Gogool^: that's just a copyright notice. DO you remember, when you purchased this computer? | 14:29 |
| Gogool^ | Probably between 2000-2001. Its a Pentium 4 from Fujitsu Siemens, with Microsoft Windows Millennium, | 14:32 |
| ubunturos | Gogool^: may be you have an older BIOS, and the partition is far from the initial sectors of the HDD | 14:32 |

| ubottu | Gogool^: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:38 |
| rav | Gogool^: when I installed Kubuntu, it defaults to using just the empty space on disk. You probably will have to reinstall, and make sure you choose to use the entire disk for the partitions | 14:39 |
| Gogool^ | I did choose the entire disk | 14:39 |
| Gogool^ | !rav should I just go for the default? | 14:40 |

| Gogool^ | rav: not updating / reconfigurating the BIOS first? | 14:42 |
| rav | Gogool^: i think that will be easier than trying to fix master boot record, or something like that | 14:43 |

| rav | skii: I don't really know how do you do that, but I guess it's similar to installing on USB drives, and I've seen tutorials about that online. | 14:50 |

| skii | of how can i put linux on my creative zen v plus | 14:54 |
| skii | how is it more complex??? | 14:54 |
| rav | Gogool^: I had trouble installing and running Kubuntu in a laptop, and it was because the hard disk had a damage sector | 14:54 |
| flaccid | skii: by following the links i pasted | 14:54 |
| faileas | there's UMS/Mass storage devices, which you can boot stuff off generally, and PTP based ones which you can't boot off | 14:54 |
| flaccid | mind you this is not for the newbie | 14:54 |
| faileas | you might wanna check which it is | 14:54 |
| Gogool^ | rav: now I got theese choise 1): guided: change size on SCSI1(0,0,0) partition 1 (sda) and use freed up space | 14:55 |
| Gogool^ | rav: 2): guided: use the whole disk | 14:55 |

| Gogool^ | rav: what is sda1 and sda5 ? | 14:58 |
| rav | Gogool^: the names of the partitions | 14:58 |
| Gogool^ | rav: ext3 and swap then? | 14:59 |
| skii | flaccid: the tutorial that u gave me is for a ubs stick & i don't want that srry to say | 14:59 |
| flaccid | skii: that is the only available, sorry. contact creative. | 15:00 |
| rav | Gogool^: yes, ext3 for root and home, and one swap partition | 15:00 |
| skii | flaccid: it's kool | 15:00 |
| faileas | skii: a USB stick and a mp3 player that you can boot off are, as far as the tutorial is concerned, the same | 15:00 |
| skii | does anyone else know how to put linux in/on a creative zen v plus??? | 15:01 |
| flaccid | same to some, different to many | 15:01 |

| flaccid | !u | skii | 15:03 |
| ubottu | skii: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 15:03 |
| flaccid | i don't have an attitude. | 15:03 |
| skii | srry to say it does seem like that u do and i'm only look for help NOTH'N else | 15:03 |
| flaccid | im not sure what that means, sorry | 15:04 |
| skii | to me it does seem that u do have an attuide with me and i'm only look'n for help with try'n to run linux straight off my creative zen v plus and i don't want to be on anyone's bad side, i'm a good guy NOT a bad guy. | 15:05 |

| vblanton | (kde4) | 15:58 |
| vblanton | if you all have noticed, dolphin shows automatic backup files from unix (files starting with ~) and oxygen has made an icon for them that looks like a recycable paper | 15:59 |
| vblanton | sometimes, those automatic backup files can take up a lot of visual space in dolphin if your working with a lot of little files in one folder | 15:59 |
| vblanton | so the question is -- what is the *best* (tm) way of handling ~backup files? | 16:00 |
| vblanton | to show, or not to show? and how to show? | 16:00 |
| * faileas would think having it as an option would be best | 16:01 | |
| tasos | can anybody please help me? I have a sound issue in Ubuntu, sound does not play | 16:02 |
| trappist | I second that opinion, with it off by default | 16:02 |
| vblanton | faileas: what do you think the default should be? | 16:03 |
| faileas | vblanton: to have it on by default, but make it obvious how to turn it off | 16:04 |
| * faileas likes backup/temp files where he can delete em ;p | 16:04 | |
| vblanton | so, there should be a seperate option, alongside "show hiddden files" that says "show backup files" (or hide) | 16:04 |
| vblanton | would that be confusing? | 16:04 |
| faileas | not in my opinion | 16:05 |
| vblanton | o.k., i'm going to open a bug report so that this can be addressed for 4.2 | 16:06 |

| lginn02 | ok | 18:59 |
| nuxil | lginn02, for more eyecandy.. install kde4.1 | 18:59 |

| lginn02 | is it stable | 18:59 |

| nuxil | far from | 19:00 |
| nuxil | 4.2 will be | 19:00 |
| Lichte | well, setting BusID didn't work | 19:01 |
| maybeway36 | kde 3.5 is stable :P | 19:01 |
| lginn02 | is there a comand line for upgrade my kde | 19:02 |
| maybeway36 | lginn02: not from kde3 to kde4 | 19:02 |
| daemon3_ | Okay, I'm not a computer scientist, but I'd say that Konqueror has a memory leak. | 19:02 |
| maybeway36 | but from kde4.0 to 4.1, yes | 19:02 |
| maybeway36 | kubuntu.org should tell you how | 19:02 |
| daemon3_ | Whenever I open konqueror, my system freezes, and I have about 1G of memory on an 80G hard drive. | 19:02 |
| lginn02 | how do i get 4 im on the kde page but cant find a download | 19:03 |
| nuxil | daemon3_, kde4? | 19:03 |
| daemon3_ | KDE 3. | 19:03 |
| dolo | does any one here have their own custom boot splash ? | 19:03 |
| maybeway36 | lginn02: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 | 19:03 |
| nuxil | ok.. ther was an issue in kde4 with konqueror.. it didnt shut down the prosess after you quit it.. but in kde3 it should be bugfree | 19:04 |
| Lichte | maybeway36: how did you get your BusID setting? | 19:04 |
| daemon3_ | Well, ever since the last Ubuntu update a few days ago (I think Friday), Konqueror has been freezing. | 19:05 |
| daemon3_ | Of course, I can't really debug the problem. | 19:05 |
| maybeway36 | I just used "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" on Ubuntu 7.10 and moved it to my new install | 19:05 |
| maybeway36 | I think BusID might be optional, it will probably autodetect that | 19:05 |
| nuxil | dolo, after 3 days of asking . if you havent gotten an answer by now. i think you better read some manuals|forums|howtos | 19:05 |
| Lichte | maybeway36: mine isn't | 19:05 |
| maybeway36 | hm | 19:05 |
| maybeway36 | not sure then | 19:06 |
| Lichte | this sucks | 19:06 |
| maybeway36 | you could try taking the busID part out and running Xorg with that config | 19:06 |
| Lichte | why doesn failsafe and xinit work ???? | 19:06 |
| dolo | hey nuxil i read all that stuff before i started asking | 19:06 |
| maybeway36 | You could run an old Ubuntu live CD 7.10 or earlier, then copy the xorg.conf from that | 19:06 |
| Lichte | they don't work either | 19:06 |
| nuxil | dolo, if someone knew. i think they would help you.. i didnt mean to offend you, | 19:07 |
| Lichte | I'll try Fedora is the only thing that boots | 19:07 |
| Lichte | bbl | 19:07 |
| maybeway36 | Lichte: use fedora :) | 19:07 |
| lginn02 | ok it say that i need to add packages to my /ect/apt/sources.list how do i do that? | 19:08 |
| dolo | naw its all good i just figure maybe if i came by and asked at differnt times i might run into some one that knows boot splash well and could help | 19:08 |

| lginn02 | ok im trying to follow the instructions on the page""http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1"" but cant figure out where to put the web site in the sources list. can someone please help?? | 19:24 |
| White_Pelican | what's the problem exactly, lginn02 ? | 19:24 |
| snookie | anyone know what the terminal command is to start kde4? | 19:25 |
| snookie | equivalent of xfce-session | 19:25 |
| lginn02 | ok i am told on the page to put the website for the new packages but dont know where to put them in the source.list i have a ton of other sites in there already that are in there own catagoreg | 19:26 |
| White_Pelican | just add it to the bottom | 19:26 |
| White_Pelican | as long as they are there | 19:27 |
| lginn02 | then hit save right | 19:27 |
| White_Pelican | are you using nano or adept-manager? | 19:27 |
| lginn02 | shell | 19:28 |
| lginn02 | um adept | 19:28 |
| lginn02 | but on the page i was given a command line for shell but keep getting an error | 19:29 |
| White_Pelican | hmmm | 19:32 |
| lginn02 | error is "apt-get update can not be used to add new cdroms."" and i have no clue what that means | 19:32 |
| White_Pelican | perhaps you have multiple entries in sources.list | 19:33 |
| White_Pelican | personally I would edit your sources.list from the command line | 19:34 |
| White_Pelican | you can sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list | 19:34 |
| lginn02 | whats that do? | 19:35 |
| White_Pelican | comment out all the references to the cdrom by putting a # before it on the line | 19:35 |
| White_Pelican | you can also copy and paste the deb line from the instructions down at the bottom | 19:36 |
| White_Pelican | have I confused you yet? | 19:36 |
| lginn02 | im so confused, is there a way i can use a head set in irc to talk to you | 19:36 |
| White_Pelican | sorry I don't have a head set | 19:37 |
| White_Pelican | maybe we should go private | 19:37 |
| White_Pelican | is that OK? | 19:37 |
| lginn02 | ya | 19:37 |
| Nyad | hi, is there a way to make amarok behave like an alarm, so I can wake up to music in the morning? | 19:39 |
| wishie | is there a way to run a script (to mount hard disk shares) when connected to my home wifi network ? | 19:40 |
| BraveSpear | I have created a LiveCD based on Kubuntu Hardy for my employer. I need to have some icons on the desktop, or at least somewhere the users can easily locate it. I know the desktop is created on the fly during bootup, but don't know where I can have icons pulled in for the users. | 19:41 |
| nuxil | whitman, samba ? or nfs ? | 19:41 |
| wishie | nuxil: i assume you meant me.. nfs | 19:41 |
| Freddy2 | Nyad: try atd | 19:41 |
| nuxil | wishie, whatabout systemsettings -> sharing | 19:42 |
| wishie | nuxil: well, i have both nfs and samba sharing the same shares | 19:42 |
| wishie | nuxil: i want this laptop to mount my servers shares, only when on my home wifi network | 19:42 |
| nuxil | wishie, yes its possible.. but you need basic understanding of scripting | 19:43 |
| wishie | ie, when my laptop knows its on the "home" network, to mount my network shares | 19:43 |
| wishie | nuxil: i know bash scripting fairly well (well, good enough) | 19:44 |
| Nyad | Freddy2: is that a program? | 19:44 |
| BraveSpear | Anyone know how to add icons to the desktop of a LiveCD? | 19:45 |
| Freddy2 | at-daemon.. you can schelude tasks in time (for example a script file launching amarok) | 19:45 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: is the user account created at boot time ? | 19:45 |
| nuxil | wishie, you can use iwgetid to check if your AP is connected | 19:45 |
| Freddy2 | *schedule | 19:45 |
| wishie | nuxil: the other issue, would be cleanly unmounting, if network goes out of range | 19:46 |
| White_Pelican | BraveSpear, not sure you xan as they would disappear after you reboot | 19:46 |
| nuxil | wishie, that must be server sided scripted | 19:46 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: Yes, the user account is created at boot time. | 19:47 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: well, you can setup the users files in /etc/skel/ perhaps | 19:47 |
| Nyad | Freddy2: can you point me to some documentation on how to use it? | 19:48 |
| wishie | everything in /etc/skel/ is put in each new users home dir. | 19:48 |
| Freddy2 | man at | 19:48 |
| BraveSpear | White_Pelican: I need them added to the LiveCD so they show up when the LiveCD boots. | 19:48 |
| White_Pelican | ah | 19:49 |
| nuxil | wishie, no way.. not server sided. just check signal/noise .. or ping.. is packet losses are greater than 30.. you unmount the share.. | 19:49 |
| White_Pelican | that I'm not sure of as it runs off the CD and your hard drive as a result is not touched | 19:49 |
| nuxil | *no way.. no wait | 19:49 |
| Freddy2 | be sure to have atd running (ps aux|grep atd) | 19:49 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: if I create a folder called Desktop in /etc/skel, and place the icons in there, would that add them to the desktop? | 19:50 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: if you have /etc/skel/Desktop/blah.txt and create a user called "test" there will be /home/test/Desktop/blah.txt | 19:50 |
| BraveSpear | White_Pelican: I have created a LiveCD based on Kubuntu, and need to add some icons so they show up when the cd boots. | 19:51 |
| Freddy2 | Nyad: you can also use ktimer instead | 19:51 |
| White_Pelican | oh | 19:52 |
| White_Pelican | sorry, that's beyond my scope | 19:52 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: I'll give that a try now. | 19:52 |
| Freddy2 | or even crontab if you prefer this way xD | 19:52 |
| ghuy | hello | 19:52 |
| Nyad | Freddy2: which one is the more standard one that I'd find on any linux distro? | 19:53 |
| nuxil | wishie, so basicly while [Oksignal] do sleep X.. if [Badsignal] then umount share | 19:53 |
| ghuy | has everyone the new KDE 4.1? | 19:53 |
| White_Pelican | I'm still on 3.5.9 | 19:53 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: http://www.linfo.org/etc_skel.html | 19:53 |
| Freddy2 | both atd and cron are very usual, but if you have kde running ktimer should be far easier for you | 19:53 |
| ghuy | ok because there are kinda lot of issues on this new one | 19:53 |
| wishie | nuxil: ill have to monitor AP and signal.. incase i suspend, blah blah.. but yeah, i get it. | 19:54 |
| nuxil | yup | 19:54 |
| === xenome is now known as reidar | ||
| Freddy2 | ghuy: there ARE a lot of issues, sure | 19:54 |
| BraveSpear | White_Pelican: Thanks anyway. | 19:55 |
| White_Pelican | yvw | 19:55 |
| White_Pelican | I tried :) | 19:55 |
| nuxil | wishie, just one more thing, instead of making a script that loops,, use crond to check each 3 min or so. | 19:56 |
| ghuy | yea did u try to run firefox 3 on it? | 19:56 |
| spow | Is it me or google seems to be down? | 19:57 |
| spow | The whole net works, but google | 19:57 |

| nuxil | yes | 20:02 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: I'm creating the squashfs for the livecd now.. will create the iso and test.. will let you know how it works. | 20:04 |
| BraveSpear | Thanks for your help. | 20:04 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: no worries. if the user account is created at boot time, /etc/skel/* should be copied to /home/$USER/* | 20:05 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: If it works I'll owe you a beer | 20:05 |
| nuxil | wishie, or use ping to check for packet losses | 20:05 |
| === MeTa is now known as MetaMorfoziS | ||
| wishie | nuxil: i think id rather go off link quality.. trying to get just the info i need now.. fighting with sed | 20:06 |

| nuxil | wishie, ok.. | 20:06 |
| wishie | trying to get '97' from 'Quality=97/100' | 20:07 |
| wishie | think i got it. | 20:10 |
| nuxil | i never got the hang of sed.. i always use sed like 10 times to get rid of stuff | 20:11 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: it worked perfectly. I owe you a beer, or your drink of choice. | 20:11 |
| nuxil | wishie, how does your sed expression look like? | 20:11 |
| wishie | nuxil: ended up going with.. http://pastebin.ca/1093066 | 20:13 |
| wishie | nuxil: might not be the most elegant, but it works. | 20:14 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: any idea how to make Firefox the default web browser on the kde livecd? I have used the command: update-alternatives --config x-www-browser and selected Firefox as the default, but whenever I click a link on a test KDE desktop I have it still opens the links in Konqueror. | 20:14 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: i think KDE has its own "default" browser setting | 20:14 |
| nuxil | :) | 20:14 |
| Nyad | Freddy2: why doesn't $ at amarok 21:20 pm work? | 20:15 |

| nuxil | sure | 20:15 |
| dan_ | hi all! i've just installed easycam2-qt and i would like to "see myself" in the web cam... Which application coud give me the pic (or how can i test the webcam) . Thanks in advance.. | 20:15 |
| nuxil | thee is no right or wrong way.. only the working way | 20:16 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: kcontrol->KDE components->Default Applications->Web Browser | 20:16 |
| wishie | BraveSpear: not sure where kde stores that setting in a file though.. | 20:17 |
| wishie | but once you find it, you can use /etc/skel/ to copy it over at boot time, aswell. | 20:17 |
| BraveSpear | wishie: thanks for you help again.. I'm sure I'll have more questions soon. | 20:21 |
| Nyad | why doesn't this work? http://nopaste.com/p/aPSqzIf8db | 20:22 |
