ign0ramusrichard: yeah, sometimes it's weird like that.  glad that it's working again.00:00
ign0ramusrichard: there's probably a perfectly good reason and solution, but until i find it, i just reboot.00:01
richardthe restart didnt work - the shut down, wait, boot up did00:01
richardi wouldnt be surpised if it had overheated or something stupid like that - it came out of a pc i found on a skip last week00:01

bdizzlegah, jump drive gone bad, not good01:24
bdizzleremind me to always use "safely unmount"01:24

almroa_Does kubuntu use KDE4 now by default? I'm on dialup, so I haven't upgraded in a while.01:26
favrobdizzle: you need to mount it as writable01:27
Lukstrmefisto__: most of that refers to older eee models01:27
bdizzlemost say this: drwxrwxrwx , but the jump drive is saying this: drwxr-xr-x01:27

bdizzleawesome, got it01:35
smartyAny one know what is going on?01:35
bdizzleum, okay....01:35
bdizzleafter copying files, I tried to unmount it, and got the error that it cannot open /media/.hal-mtab01:36

smartyi'll try, sec01:36
favrobdizzle: where was the drive mounted?01:36
bdizzlen/m, got it to fix itself somehow01:36
bdizzleokay, other strange question01:37
bdizzlesomewhere along the line, I did apt-get autoremove and cleared out part of my cache01:37
bdizzleI now regret that heavily01:37
smartyfavro : the command is "df h" in konsole?01:37
bdizzleis there a way to get back all of the dependencies so that I can use APTonCD to get my other computer working?01:37
favrosmarty: it is   df -h01:38
smartyAh, right, lol..01:38
favroin konsole01:38
favro!aptoncd01:38
ubottuAPTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers01:38

smartyok, thank you by the way01:40
favrobdizzle: if you know the deps then you d/load them again...01:40
bdizzleokay, how though? adept only lets you do it once to auto-download all of the dependencies01:41
bdizzlewhat do I do when two necessary packages or dependent upon each other to install?01:41
smarty favro: The application Dolphin (dolphin) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV) ... (the application crashed)01:42
favrosmarty: how large are the logs?01:42
smartyAfter going back, 7.9 megs01:43
favrobdizzle: you would need to have apt looking at the aptoncd and the repos01:43
bdizzlegrr01:44
favrosmarty: if the logs aren't taking up all your space something else is01:44
favrobdizzle: what happened to the other comp?01:44
smartyI've been checking all the properties of the files (from root) and they all are less than 5GB (2 are 2GB, and 1 is 4GB)01:45
smartyThe rest are minor megs01:45
bdizzleum, well, I'm using a Linksys WUSB54G to get access to wireless to be able to connect to my school network, since the wired connection won't work thanks to their Cisco Clean Access Agent that requires a) windows b) java  c) a standard browser (ie, IE and if I'm lucky, firefox)01:46

Guest15217i don't know ,, how use kopete???02:01

bdizzlewith a Linksys WUSB54G, I noticed in Gutsy that I had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work02:04
mefisto__zapan: yes, you give the password of the first account you created. (I think that's right. I've never created more than one login account)02:04
bdizzlein Hardy, it works, but BARELY02:04
bdizzleare there different directions for using ndiswrapper in hardy, or same method as before?02:04

smarty bdizzle: this (may) help ... http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,tips/02:07
bdizzleokay, will re-installing all of the libs have any adverse effects on my laptop that is working?02:09
michael#ubuntu02:09
mefisto__bdizzle: if it's all working, why are you reinstalling them?02:09
bdizzlebecause I need the .deb files in apt-cache to put onto another computer that isn't able to connect to internet fully02:10
smartymefisto: bdizzle had cleared the cache, which inturn removed the repos... he's working on reinstalling them02:10
mefisto__ok02:10
bdizzleyeah, what a great way to spend my 22 b-day. In my dorm room, broke, bored, lonely, and unable to connect to other IRCs thanks to the school filter02:11
crazy_buskmix only has one volume slider for my usb headset and sounds only come out of the left ear.  Is there anything I can do?02:11
mefisto__bdizzle: you can use the -d option with apt-get, which will download the debs but not install them, etc02:11
bdizzleyeah, but how would it know to install them from adept like that?02:12
bdizzleI don't know how to go thorugh command line and have it download all of the packages I already have02:12
bdizzleif I had a portable hard drive with 40 GB or so, I'd copy the entire linux partition onto it, then copy it over onto the desktop and go from there02:13
bazhangbdizzle, will this other computer ever have internet?02:13
bdizzleit has a wireless adapter, Linksys WUSB54G that I can use02:13
bdizzlebasically, the school is retarded and makes you download Cisco Clean Access Agent, a windows-only program that downloads via java02:13
bdizzlenow since java, firefox, and wine don't come as part of a fresh install, I'm having to do all that manually02:14
bazhangbdizzle, why not vm windows for that02:14
bdizzleto kick start it, I discovered apt-on-cd, but am having problems getting that to run on the desktop. So I'm trying to run through and install all the dependencies via a jump drive02:15
bazhangah, the hard way.02:16
shadowhywindhay all. Running into a bit of a small problem. I am tar'ing something (tar -cvjf backup.tar.bz2 -C source .) when i go to untar it (tar -jxvf backup.tar.bz2) i get data intergraty issues, decompression failed.. any ideas?02:16
bazhangbdizzle, or clone your install to an external drive and start up with that02:16
bazhang!clone02:17
ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate02:17
bdizzleyes, but I don't have an external drive02:17
bdizzleI have a 2 GB jump drive02:17
bazhangand you cleared your apt cache?02:17
bdizzlemuch of it, yes02:17
bdizzleas it is, just the libs on my laptop is about 185 MB02:18
bazhangbdizzle, just vm another distro that has everything ootb then update your ubuntu02:21
bdizzle...how?02:21
bazhangbdizzle, via virtualbox02:21
bdizzleI'll look into it02:22
bdizzlelet me see if this works first, then go from there02:22
bazhangway easier then what you are trying to do, considering a)you dont have an external drive, and b)you cleared your apt cache02:22
bazhangbdizzle, you've been at this a week or so, right?02:23
bdizzlenot really. This week only a night02:23
bdizzlelast week two nights02:23
bazhanggood luck then.02:24
bdizzleheh02:24
bdizzlewell, the apt-cache is about to get refilled once I re-install the packages and such02:24
bazhangvm of distro would have you there in the time it took to dl the distro02:24
bdizzleyeah, but what distros would have all of that?02:24
smartyWait a sec, isnt there a log the monitors all the repos installed?02:24
bdizzleor just any distro that uses GNOME?02:24
bdizzleyeah, but if I can't access the repos, I have to get them from the local ones02:25
bazhangbdizzle, there are a number, but kinda against ubuntu policy to advertise them here :)02:25
smartyA true02:25
bdizzlelol02:25
bdizzleany debian based I suppose?02:25
bazhangyup02:26
bazhangif by debian you mean ubuntu :)02:26

bdizzle.kde is only showing drwx-------, while .kde4 is set as drwxr -xr -x06:43

flaccidcheck the permissions on ~/.kdes/share not ~/.kde .. and what is 'it' ?06:44
aaronwiflaccid: ok...well aparentally it said it doesnt have a compiled version for my kernel or something...so then it said it will compile one...but now it says i dont ahve the libc heade4r files installed...so now what06:45
bdizzleshare is only showing drwx06:46
bdizzleenv is at drwxr -xr -x06:46
bdizzleevery time I boot up, it gives me an error message. Same for using kaffeine and such06:46

bdizzleokay, example06:48
dwidmann_k4r1m: best is quite subjective. Kplayer is good, kmplayer is good, kaffeine is good, dragon(renamed from codeine) is super lightweight but not bad06:48
aaronwiflaccid: that one said "you should explicitly select one to instal." "E: package linux-headers has no installation candidate"06:48
aaronwinow what?06:48
k4r1mwhats the difference between kplayer and kmplayer06:49

bdizzleokay, I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but I think you need to use iwconfig to connect via your wired connection, then sudo apt-get kde or gnome07:18
bdizzleunless you went into the recovery mode, that would cause you to load into the command line07:19

ubottuUbuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).13:44

blubbeldiblubbas i said it, i've an executable file...17:33
tomdblubbeldiblubb: konsole or console ?17:33
blubbeldiblubbkonsole17:33
[ifrog]./<executable>17:34
TheMaxzillamefisto__: I had to run it from the terminal, and it said to replace it with whatever my current one is. It's fixed now, thanks!17:34
tomdifrog has it ... but whats your app do?17:34
TheMaxzillaKonsole, terminal, shell17:34
blubbeldiblubbthanks :)17:34
azizquestion: when I switch to a terminal (e.g.: Ctrl+Alt+F1) all the text I see looks very blurry. can something be done about this? i'm on a notebook...17:38
mefisto__aziz: I fixed this by adding DisplaySize   338 270  in "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf  where 338 270 is the physical screen size of the monitor in millimetres17:42
azizmefisto__: intersting. thanks, I'll have a look at that.17:43
aziz*intersting17:43
aziz*interesting17:43
aziz :)17:43
mefisto__aziz: you should measure the size of the monitor to find the size of the monitor. hope it works for you. it's very frustrating17:43
mefisto__aziz: that is, with a ruler17:43
azizok :), but is this the only option?17:43
mefisto__aziz: I remember seeing other solutions on ubuntuforums, but they didn't work for me17:44
mefisto__maybe depends on video card17:45
azizk17:45
azizdo you know any useful keywords? to search for...17:45
tomdaziz: search your latop and xorg.conf17:46
mefisto__aziz: take a look at this: http://www.mepis.org/node/299217:53
Edulixirc://irc.gome.org/gnome17:56
Edulixups17:56
azizhm it's not clear to me what option i should put where17:58
aziz"Mode #" ?17:58
azizah that's for grub actually :)17:58
mefisto__aziz: in grub menu, in the kernel line, vga=#  according to the table on that page to match your screen rez18:00
azizk got it. but can i make that a general option?18:02
mefisto__aziz: also, some laptops have a bios setting that will stretch text mode to fill the screen, or if disabled will show actual text mode screen rez without stretching18:02

roldyxthanks18:28
mefisto__aziz: btw, if you put the vga=# setting in the "# defoptions=" line in menu.lst it will keep that setting when upgrading kernel. otherwise you'll have to edit menu.lst every time it's updated by a kernel upgrade18:32
mefisto__aziz: you could also put it in the "# altoptions=" line so it works in recovery mode grub choices18:34
azizok thanks18:35

l3xdoesnt help :(19:25

jkyrohas worked for me so far19:39
_2hmmm yeah just tested it.     so i stand corrected.    thanks for the heads up19:41
_2they have changed the adm to admin group though.   that makes no sense to me.19:42
_2that would break some upgrades i would think19:42
=== ubuntu is now known as Captain-Splendid
Captain-Splendidhi there19:43
_2unless they have only renamed it.  what's the gid on admin ?19:43
jkyroso it's been adm earlier?19:43
_2yes19:43
Captain-Splendidhow big should my home partition be and how big should my root partition b?19:43
jkyro11319:43
jkyrothat was for _2 :)19:43
_2adm:x:4:   wow19:44
=== oguz is now known as ogzy
_2Captain-Splendid the ubuntu system needs about 4g to have sufficient room to breath.   i would normally sujest about 6g for / or more if you have plenty.  and home is never big enough19:45
Captain-Splendidha so 10 for both and 2 for swap should be good enough?19:45
_2i suspect that 800T will be too small for home within a year or two19:45
_2one can always find something to fill up home with19:46
_2movies and the like19:46
_2and yes 10g should be fine for / 2g for swap if you have less than 2g ram and wish to suspend/hybernate   else 2g swap is excessive19:47
* _2 has 0b swap19:47
jkyrowow19:47
Captain-Splendidi have 1gb ram19:47
_2then 1.2g swap will let you hybernate   so more than that is probably a waste of disk space19:48
Captain-Splendidperfect19:48
Captain-Splendidthank you :)19:48
_2jkyro i do run a tight ship though, i'm not propigating 0 swap.19:49
_2Memory Used/Total Percent: 24/502 MB (4%)19:49
_2Swap   Used/Total Percent: 0/0 MB (0%)19:49
Captain-Splendidoh one more thing, home and root have to be ext3 correct?19:49
jkyroI've got 16G for root, 13 of which is in use19:49
_2jkyro but not a seperate home i suspect19:49
jkyroyes19:49
_2what do you have using 10g in / ?19:50
jkyroaround 200G, of which 70G free :)19:50
Captain-Splendidand both home and root ahve to be primary right?19:50
Captain-Splendidprimary partition*19:50
jkyro_2: scratchbox for maemo development19:51
_2i have kubuntu xubuntu ubuntu -desktop's and lots of other things installed and using less than 8g total19:51
_2jkyro ah   ok  several verts there ?19:51
_2Captain-Splendid no   neither have to be primary19:51
jkyro_2: it's about 1,5G in size19:52
_2Captain-Splendid only thing you have to watch out for is that grub can read it's files from bios19:52
Captain-Splendidoh i see19:53
_2Captain-Splendid linux doesn't even require a partition.19:53
_2i don't use them19:53
l3x_2: the group for sudoers was adnim not adm. Tha\nk you very much, you've helped me ti find what was the problem :)19:53
_2the installer (ubiquity) on the other hand does, as does grub.19:54
l3xnejode: you were right, admin is the sudoers group. Thank you very very much :)19:54
l3xhave to go now and study, bbye good ppl of kubuntu \019:54
Captain-Splendidbut in qtparted its asking whether i should set the swap to extended or primary19:54
Captain-Splendidwhat should i set it to19:54
* _2 thinks about reposting what i3x missed when he left so quickly... then desides to keep it to self19:55
_2Captain-Splendid what ever you like19:55
_2Captain-Splendid like i said linux doesn't care really19:55
Captain-Splendidoh ok19:56
_2i don't have any partitions  and i do have a swap file which i can activate if needed for photo editing and the likes19:56
_2linux does not require a partition,   it does require a file system with permissions bits.    that's all.      and one can make that filesystem within a file on an ntfs partition   wubi  proves that.19:57
_2one can make that filesystem on a raw hdd,   my installation proves that19:58
