[00:48] Hey guys, is there a way I can do a fresh install of Kubuntu running kde 4.1 ? [00:48] Hello i have only 512 mb ram.. if i buy 2gb more ram do you think that kubuntu will be a little bit faster? [00:50] I am running 4gb of ram ECC and kubuntu runs perfectly no slowness whatsoever [00:51] then again I do a 512mb vidoe card [00:51] I have a 256 mb viddeo card [00:51] video [00:52] vilhelm: it will either be faster or no noticable difference, but my guess is it will be faster [00:52] hope so cuz i use compiz and stuff so it's kinda hard on the ram memory :) [00:54] now i use almost all of my 512 ram [00:56] vilhelm: it's normal for linux to "use" all your ram. that's what you want, if you think about it. it doesn't mean the ram is not available for use by programs [00:56] mefisto guess you are right :) [00:58] but still I think that I will buy some more ram tomorrow :) [00:58] if there is lots of swap activity, then installing more ram will reduce that, which will be much faster [01:02] Olá turma [01:03] preciso de uma ajuda [01:03] em como configurar um servidor [01:04] alguém pode me ajudar [01:07] english?

[03:56] DarkTan: i would actually try the latest version for xp [03:56] ok [03:56] and if that fails, try the win 98 [03:57] alright [03:57] so https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L for example still has a direct link to a valid one..

[04:35] all the info i find is for the error occuring right after install [04:35] not loading @ all [04:35] i've been messing with it for two days before i got the error just now [04:35] dennister: if you want. i think the first 1 in the list is what it uses by default [04:35] nope, no loading for me [04:35] DarkTan: lots on google about error 17 [04:35] can anyone help me out? [04:36] flaccid...ok, i'll just move some around for now [04:36] devo: no need to repeat. if someone can help they will [04:36] yeah, but everything i got was for the error occuring with dual boot, multiple HDD or error since install [04:36] DarkTan: so. do you understand what error 17 is? [04:36] running any of those? [04:36] srry [04:37] seems to be something with grub not being able to access the disk properlly [04:37] DarkTan: when it boots, can you get to grub prompt at all or does it just do error 17 and thats it? [04:37] it may be related to the fact that i have a 60gig hard drive and BIOS says i have an 8gig hard drive [04:38] error 17 and that's it [04:38] so, what's a good program to but a movie to a disk? [04:38] but the bios issue doesn't explain why it worked before [04:39] DarkTan: ^^ [04:39] fun times [04:39] devo: k3b [04:39] well, i told the Rescue mode to reinstall GRUB, it decided to reinstall everything, so i assume it will work when it is done. [04:39] DarkTan: can you answer my question? [04:40] DarkTan: set your bios back to default see if it corrects the issue3 [04:40] that is what i have used & like i said, the picture is great but the sound is all stadiky [04:40] gdm login screen unaffected by change in xorg.conf [04:40] tried that, there is no option to change the hdd size at all [04:40] resolution still too big to make it usable [04:40] so i don't wanna go with k3b, is there anyother program that can put a movie to a disk? [04:41] browse through Adept Manager, I'm sure there's something in there [04:41] DarkTan: can you hear me? [04:41] i have done that too i guess i'm still sol [04:41] yes [04:41] don't think it was k3b, if you copied it could have done it during the conversion process, but again don't think it is an issue with the program itself [04:42] [13:38] DarkTan: when it boots, can you get to grub prompt at all or does it just do error 17 and thats it? [04:42] i didn't copy anything [04:42] 23:35] error 17 and that's it [04:43] so then what do u think it is mrksbrd? [04:43] DarkTan: sorry that msg didn't come through or something [04:43] DarkTan: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showpost.php?s=790fb13b162320468ab95c6be611e608&p=869989&postcount=8 [04:43] no problem [04:43] devo: what type of file u trying to put to disk? avi...mpg [04:44] avi [04:44] DarkTan: you need to boot livecd, mount the hard disk and fix device.map and or grub.conf [04:44] did u get it off net? [04:44] doesn't everyone? [04:44] can't, don't have a DVD drive on the laptop [04:44] might be a problem with the rip then [04:44] DarkTan: is there any drive? how did you install it to begin width? [04:45] right now, it's doing a full reinstall [04:45] with [04:45] regular CD [04:45] flaccid: did u see his bios only recognizes 8gb out of 60 [04:45] alternate CD on the Xubunto site [04:45] sounds like a hw issue to me [04:45] DarkTan: ah ok. so im wastin my time here. i never mentioned needing dvd .. [04:45] the original drive was 8gb [04:45] um ok do as you wish [04:45] no cuz it the movie work's fine when i play it on my computer but when i put it do a disk is when the sound is all stadicky [04:45] every live disk i've seen has been a DVD [04:46] DarkTan: the standard ubuntu live cds are um live cds [04:46] (including kubuntu) [04:46] and i didn't want to reinstall everything, i wanted to reinstall GRUB [04:46] devo: dunno then ....sorry [04:47] mrksbrd: it's kool, i know that ur only try'n to help me out ;-) [04:47] DarkTan: you don't need to reinstall grub, but that is an option. the link i provided you gave the solution. bit late now considering you executed a reinstall yourself [04:47] !livecd [04:47] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [04:47] hi [04:47] odd, cause the 7.10 was a DVD [04:47] i installed it ubunto that is [04:48] I want make server on my laptop [04:48] how can I make it [04:48] so is it true that window's ppl can hack into linux os computer's? [04:48] there is dvd and cd. the dvd has more [04:48] DarkTan: i'm confused.....u have the 8gb along with a 60gb or did u swap the 8gb to the 60??? [04:48] ok, i got confused on that at the xubuntu site [04:48] from a shell u can [04:48] devo: anything is possible, but thats off-topic here [04:48] i know that it's a dumb ? but i have a friend of mine that wanted to know that's over here [04:48] i took the 8gb out and put in a 60gb [04:48] it's kool [04:48] srry about that, i'm friend is a little nut's [04:49] ;-) [04:49] ok, still having trouble making resolution smaller for gdm login screen [04:49] nothing in gdmsetup seems to mention resolution [04:49] ok so it's your bios not recognizing the new drive, my guess that is your problem, until it recognizes the new drive your going to run into same problem everytime [04:49] why would it? gdm simply runs xorg [04:50] dennister: if its not doing the resolution you want, you should check the X log [04:50] what confuses me is that is was working fine [04:50] k [04:50] DarkTan: things often work fine then something happens [04:50] i even started a win98 install on it and the win98 setup reconized the 60gb hdd [04:50] just try returning the bios back to default settings [04:51] DarkTan: um, if you read the link i posted, you would understand why it happend and what the problem is...ie. device.map [04:51] Bion has no options for the drive size, i'll the try the default settings again [04:51] bios is irrelevant [04:51] even though the change in the bios was the cause of the problem. anyway moving along.. [04:52] i'm going to try that if it screw up again [04:52] that doesn't make sense the bios recognizes the hw not the os [04:52] right now there nothing i can do untill the install finishes [04:52] u ppl have a good night & thnx for help'n me out once again, see u ppl someother time & hopefully i can help ppl out that r in need for help(besides me) [04:52] cia0 [04:52] nite [04:53] nite flaccid [04:53] nm thought u were leaving [04:53] lol [04:53] hey flaccid do you no anything about nmap? [04:53] sure [04:54] i grabbed it from my bash term [04:54] !grub [04:54] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:54] how do i run it or is it command prompt [04:54] i type nmap and get a man on commands [04:55] !nmap [04:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about nmap [04:55] there are nmap tutorials on google or you can install nmapfe and use a graphical frontend so you don't need to know [04:55] !info nmapfe [04:55] Package nmapfe does not exist in hardy [04:55] ty [04:55] hmm thats weird [04:56] i did sudo -apt get install nmap it grabbed it and installed it just trying to figure out how to use it ty [04:56] like i said tutorials are on google and also man nmapfe [04:57] sorry day 2 with linux [04:57] there is even examples at the bottom when you run the command with no params [04:57] hmmm [04:57] brb [04:57] can be as simple as nmap -v -A localhost [04:58] ok guys going to mess around with WINE....be back in a little bit [04:58] will the live CD work with only 100megs of ram? [04:59] 256 min [04:59] !requirements | DarkTan [04:59] DarkTan: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [04:59] ' [04:59] well, Xbuntu requires 192 [04:59] get more ram :) [05:00] i'm not spending any money on this thing, and i doubt i could find it anyway === p_quarles is now known as someone === someone is now known as p_quarles [05:00] nmap -v -A localhost that worked thanks i havent had time to read or sleep [05:00] i love ubunto this is awesome [05:01] AMD K6, 640kb on system RAM, 100mb axpansion card, 24x CD ROM, it's an old POS [05:01] expansion * [05:02] well, i screw with some more tommorow, right now, i need some sleep [05:02] thx for the help [05:07] cya guys thanks [05:18] total reboot helped make gdm login screen a bit smaller (enough to be able to access Sessions box), but it is still too big...plus I'd really, really, really like to give the user the option to login using console [05:18] what did the log say [05:19] it was hard to understand it, actually, but I'll look in the new log to see if anything's changed [05:20] you can always pastebin logs for the chan [05:23] aew [05:24] flaccid: yes, but I think I might know what the problem is now, and not sure if I want to fix it for this kernel, which is a temporary one: [05:26] i simply did this custom kernel as practice here (been a while since I did one), and the main objective for this whole custom kernel is to get speekup working on a blind user's machine next sunday [05:27] i do have speakup working in console :-) but it won't work with x [05:28] so a more important question: how do I add a console login as an option to the login screen (along with kde, gnome, etc) [05:29] no such thing as a console login. it has failsafe there however [05:29] hehe flaccid does kdm have an exit? [05:30] but failsafe is still using x, right? I seem to remember i could login to a console back in an earlier version of kubuntu [05:30] ForgeAus: you stop the service with init.d [05:30] dennister: they are ttys. eg. ctrl+alt+f2 [05:30] yes, i'm using that often now [05:31] flaccid not even a key combo? you need to switch displays and stop the service? [05:32] ForgeAus: afaik yeah [05:32] its so kdm restarts if it dies i think [05:32] well dennister recovery mode doesn't start in x [05:34] kdm needs an exit function! [05:35] nope [05:35] (one that can be configured to be turned off for security reasons of course) [05:36] then again it shouldn't make that much difference because even a console login requires username/password [05:36] thing is kdm/X is also run under root.. [05:37] and as far as the user is concerned there is no reason for a normal user to want to do so in theory [05:37] flaccid yes I was aware of that [05:37] kdm is only runnable by root right? [05:37] not sure [05:38] flaccid, if X is damaged and they need a quick console login to fix it? (of course I guess thats what recovery mode is for) [05:38] I think when you try using kdm it gives you an error saying only root needs to run this, or something like that [05:38] yeah and ttys for when kdm fails or something [05:38] tty's can be useful for lotsa stuff not just if kdm fails [05:39] if you want a quicker login to access something like mc just to do a small job instead of waiting for your entire desktop to load... [05:39] just do tty or failsafe login [05:40] there is a tty login? isn't that what dennister was asking for? [05:40] (didn't he say failsafe is still X??) [05:40] or was that just a question? [05:42] personally I prefer using GUI, I'd tend not to consider logging into tty for the most part... all I'm doing is thinking of reasons why it is useful, and there do seem to be at least some [05:43] yes its a session from kdm [05:44] point is all the options are already there [05:48] ok flaccid one other question how to kdm from in xephyr (ie during an x session, to embed another x session) [05:49] you don't use kdm as the commandline you start the kdm service? [05:50] um don't know if you can do that, not sure [05:51] zenwalk used to but I don't know how it did (although that was XFCE from memory) [05:51] Okay, I reckon someone in here might know ... I've compiled a program with debugging info turned on and it spews loads of goodness into the shell, how can I redirect it to a file? [05:51] back then it was Xnest not Xephyr and a different dm but afaik they work pretty much the same [05:52] dwidmann normally you use > filename in the commandline [05:52] or >& filename [05:52] ForgeAus: doesn't work here, maybe it's not printing to stdout but something else? [05:52] (I think >& gets stderr whereas > just gets output) [05:53] Wait, that seems to be doing it, it must have been using stderr [05:53] ok, i've avoided pulseaudio on this gutsy-->hardy upgraded system until now because I've heard it's quite buggy, but I believe I need it now because it allows audio to switch more easily between different applications...can someone give me an update, pls? [05:53] I guess so :) [05:54] !pulseaudio [05:54] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [05:54] ForgeAus: I thought it was something like that for stderr, but I forgot what exactly it was [05:54] lotsa debugging stuff uses stderr instead of stdout I think [05:55] I guess I should have thought of it first instead of just the normal > hehe [05:55] ForgeAus: me too, I tried just > first afterall === dwidmann__ is now known as dwidmann [05:56] its ok [05:56] so long as it worx in the end uh? [05:56] It sucks, everytime my con drops I get __'d [05:56] ForgeAus: yup [05:56] ForgeAus: yes, I read that already, but it's pretty out of date, valid eight months ago and long before hardy was released [05:56] ForgeAus: worst case I could just set the buffer to unlimited and copy and paste anyway, glad I don't have to do that. [05:56] is anyone actually using it successfully? [05:57] pulseaudio on hardy, that is [05:58] pulseaudio is what andlinux replaced esd with, apparently it was better, so I'm suprised you thought it was quite buggy... [05:58] that doesn't say very much for esd lol [05:59] ForgeAus: it wasn't I that thought it was quite buggy...those were the reports after hardy came out [05:59] my andlinux is a little old, doesn't do pulseaudio yet, I think a minor config change is all it needs tho [06:00] ForgeAus: do you know if jegelie managed to boot his intel mac from firewire? [06:01] no idea... but I do hope so :) [06:01] ForgeAus: yeah, i hope so too. [06:02] that could be used to boot off of your linux distribution in public places. be useful for security things [06:03] * ForgeAus shrugs [06:03] cant see anything more from jegelie from backscrolling... [06:04] !seen jegelie [06:04] I have no seen command [06:04] I know I sounded quite negative but I guess I was just being a little cagy because it was a little out of my depth [06:04] ForgeAus: i was too. i am a good googler :) [06:05] yes google is your friend :) [06:18] anyone in here that uses KDE 4.1 ? [06:18] vilhelm: see topic [06:19] flaccid ok :P [06:25] flaccid: don't you sleep? ....lol [06:25] yeah lots [06:25] is it safe to update the new nvidia drivers? just saw it popup on adept [06:26] omg! sound has never been so good! [06:26] Can I get some opinions on using apt-get aptitude and synaptic which one is best to use keeping package removal later on in mind [06:26] rocknzen: aptitude is better than apt-get for that but not sure on synaptic [06:26] rocknzen: apt-get works just fine. i just use adept now [06:27] davidc_: it *should* be [06:27] or should I wait for a few days [06:27] until the coast is clear :P [06:27] well it should be tested before release [06:27] now if we could just keep up with flaccid's schedule, we'd all be better off :-) [06:27] do they all remove packages completely? [06:28] or are there things I should look for if I uninstall something [06:30] haha don't worry im actually good, im wrong about a lot of stuff heh [06:30] rocknzen: you need to purge packages to remove them completely [06:31] + not good.. i meant [06:31] can you explain I am new to linux [06:31] rocknzen: there is a function with the package managers to purge packages. they leave their config on the system so it can be re-used if you install it again [06:32] is there a command line syntax [06:33] ciao [06:33] rocknzen: yes [06:33] sudo apt-get remove --purge pkgname i think from memory [06:34] does it matter if you used apt-get or aptitude to install [06:34] nope [06:34] rocknzen only whatever you feel more comfortable in [06:34] i think u can use autoremove feature as well [06:34] ok many thanks [06:35] they both run dpkg the same depending on what you choose [06:35] (adept too) [06:35] thank you that was a big help [06:35] gnight all === hunter is now known as strixv [06:41] Symbolic links: I have created a symlink to a shell script in /usr/local/lib. The shell script uses relative paths to find files in /usr/local/lib/stuff ... but when I run the link (which is in /usr/local/bin) it looks in /usr/local/bin/stuff. Any tips for how I could fix this? [06:44] strixv: cd in the script to the required dir [06:44] or use absolute paths in the script's command args [06:45] flaccid: Is that the only way? That's fine, it's just there are various places in the script where it uses relative paths and one of the reasons I wanted a symlink was so I could move the script around [06:47] Another way I could solve it is to add an environment variable ($PROG_HOME or whatever) that keeps track of where it's stored. Is there a good place in Kubuntu for me to set env variables that should start at boot? [06:48] strixv: you could put it in a script in your autostart folder [06:48] robotgeek: that sounds fine. Or wherever the PATH env variables etc are set. Is that like ~/.autostart/whatever.sh? [06:49] strixv: heck, put it in your .bashrc :) [06:49] greetings robotgeek ! [06:49] howdy kkathman! [06:49] strixv: probably better to put it in your .bashrc [06:49] robotgeek: does .bashrc run as soon as the machine boots, or only when I open a terminal from within X? (I'm new to Linux so I dunno the order of things) [06:50] strixv: it executes when you login [06:51] robotgeek: when I login via the graphical login manager / session thing? [06:51] strixv: hmm, lemme think about that for a second. [06:54] strixv: hmm, now i am not sure if bashrc is read on login or just when a terminal starts up [06:56] strixv: i am positive that it is read on login. [06:56] robotgeek: Well I could replace the symlink with just a really simple script maybe to run the other script with whatever arguments are passed to it. Is there an easy way of doing that instead? [06:56] so like calling /usr/bin/myscript arg1 arg2 would run /usr/lib/stuff/bin/myotherscript arg1 arg2 [06:57] strixv: i guess so, but i don't understand why [06:58] robotgeek: I didn't write the second script, it's kind of complicated, and it uses relative paths to do some stuff I need done and call various binaries. So, I would like to just be able to type "shortnamebin" instead of /whole/path/fullbinname to run it, is all [06:59] strixv: add it to your path :) [07:00] robotgeek: thanks =) I may do that, but it's got tons of binaries in this dir and I don't want all of them runnable [07:00] strixv: put like so: -> export PATH="/opt/foo/lib/jre/bin:$PATH" <- in your .bashrc [07:02] robotgeek: Thanks for that... I have been googling also and I think "alias" may be the command I need. It seems similar to a symlink but will preserve path === michaeldennies is now known as MD [07:02] anyone recommend installing AVG in linux? === MD is now known as Guest56287 === Guest56287 is now known as michaeldennies__ [07:03] ForgeAus: no, anti virus? why? [07:04] believe it or not linux users do get virus'... its just that it doesn't tend to affect linux users the same way if at all... [07:04] (however we do pass them on - kinda acting like carriers) [07:05] ForgeAus: unless you are doing filtering things, i think it is uneccesary service to run [07:05] hi, guy saya new comer in kubuntu [07:05] ForgeAus: If you care about potential Windows users you might exchange binaries with, sure install some antivirus. Otherwise I wouldnt bother [07:05] ada yang bisa bantu saya cara install printer di kubuntu ? [07:05] of course linux does have (very few of) its own virus' too! [07:06] ForgeAus: it does not count if i have to chmod +x a script :) [07:07] I heard hackers are paying more attention to OSX than Windows of late when it comes to developing virus' etc... [07:12] Ok here's another question: How do I change the default apps for various services (like in /etc/alternatives) [07:12] in kcontrol [07:13] (erm system-settings hehe same-ish thing) [07:13] ForgeAus: it has *some* defaults but there are many many more [07:13] you can edit your mime types in there somewhere (theres also an applet for some default apps) [07:14] ForgeAus: Someone showed me the command before and I forgot to write it down in my "useful commands" thing. I'm trying to set the default java vm [07:14] no no not that applet for default apps, wiat.. brb.. I'll check mine [07:14] you actually change your mime types for programs (like to make konqi default instead of dolphin for example) [07:15] Ah here's what I was looking for: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/LINUX_ALTERNATIVES_HOWTO [07:15] hmm....i thought k3b converts from mp3 to wav format when u create a new audio project, but keep getting error....any ideas [07:16] sup [07:16] mrksbrd: install libk3b2-extracodecs [07:18] kde components (might be called kde resources?) - file associations [07:19] thats right ty [07:24] Hi guys... I just installed Eclipse for Linux and I have a question about where to put the files. I see that they can just be extracted and run out of the directory. What's the "proper" place to put applications like that in linux? They don't seem to fit right (self-contained folders) in /usr/local/bin or anything... [07:25] some people are using /opt for that kind of stuff [07:26] jkyro: thanks, I'll look into that. I've been looking around trying to find similar programs with suggestions. [07:27] at least the package manager is not touching that [07:46] strixv: yeah thats why you cmd first if you relative paths in shell scripts [07:46] also i believe eclipse in the repos [07:46] !info eclipse [07:46] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE.

[09:23] it is visible, but the new kernel is not listed in the list [09:24] see /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:24] this happen because I have added one fix for the mouse [09:24] stamen: check whther it is commented [09:24] and it see that I have modified the list [09:24] now, it is not commented, I have looked up [09:25] it isn't added [09:25] this is because I have choosed to keep the old list [09:25] stamen: ok ..so u compiled the kernel from start?

(without a gui) [11:03] flaccid: i know 8.04.01 has been delivered, so if i upgrade now, i'll go directly to 8.04.01 and not to 8.04 right? [11:03] um yep, it will go to the lastest packages from hardy repos [11:09] flaccid: i don't remember if i've installed a ubuntu and added kubuntu packages or if i have installed kubuntu directly [11:09] that fact is i'm very afraid of gui to do upgrade, i come from debian, and i love apt-get [11:10] well i'd never GUI upgrade because of common possibility of a problem [11:10] aptitude is probably most suitable [11:10] ahhh cool [11:11] but in honesty i've done some pretty crazy upgrades and i solved all problems/did it with apt-get only [11:11] so you've just modified your sources.list (change gutsy to heron) and then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade right flaccid? [11:12] yep, but you might wan't to make it hardy and not heron in the sources.list [11:12] oups yes [11:12] :p [11:14] flaccid: I found what I wanted....there is a prog out there called LaCie [11:14] good for you [11:16] had alot of digging, also in order to run that alien prog to convert files I had to get "fakeroot"...... [11:17] i have never needed fakeroot to do alient. [11:17] alien even [11:18] kept telling me in order to change them they, i needed to run alien under "root" [11:19] thats what sudo is for [11:19] fake root is just an emulation to get it done with out messing up security [11:19] its not emulation and its nothing to do with security [11:20] well thats what i read.....dunno....waht ever it worked [11:21] cool [11:21] now if i could just learn the nitty gritty of this OS it will make my life easier [11:23] I have a long way to go......but i'm learning once i get pointed in the right direction [11:23] and i have to thank u for that [11:23] cool thanks. well i have a very long road to go myself [11:23] (just don't use u :O) [11:24] lol....hard habbit to break === OutoLumo is now known as oleee [11:24] took me a couple of weeks myself :) [11:24] Hello [11:25] flaccid: you going to be on for the next few hrs?....my sleeping pill is kicking in [11:25] yeah [11:25] getting harder to type w/o 100 backspaces [11:26] alright i'll see ya in a few hrs....once again ty so much [11:27] cool send us some of your pills while you there :p [11:27] i don't share these....Ambien CR is the fuc**** best [11:28] * flaccid looks it up [11:28] flaccid: here is my new sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/37689/, could you have a quick look to see if it seems correct to you ?

[11:31] alright be back in a few hrs [11:31] enzo: no sudo apt-get update to check and see if it fetches the new updates with your new sources.list [11:31] ah yes, of course [11:32] does someone know how can I change the theming in firefox? I don`t like those gnomeish menus [11:34] djdarkman: install gtk-qt-engine and configure it in system settings | appearance [11:35] flaccid: do you know if this is possible to do a dist-upgrade with aptitude ? something like aptitude dist-upgrade to have a better display === matt_ is now known as Gigantor === Gigantor is now known as Gigant0r [11:35] howdy [11:36] whats the role of chache in cpu ?? what do they do ??

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [11:38] hey all - newb here..what cmd to check what version of KDE is running? [11:39] arg i get a big error with aptitude dist-upgrade but nothing with apt-get dist-upgrade [11:39] Gigant0r: kicker --version [11:40] flaccid; thanks, is that not the version for kicker though? Ie, kicker shows 3.5.9, kmail shows 4.1 [11:40] Gigant0r: its application based [11:40] oic [11:41] you can run kde3 apps in kde4 and vice versa [11:41] eg. plasma is just an app basically [11:41] ok..i had 4.1 running sweet as pie yesterday, kicked off an upgrade last night, i think it died in the ass because it killed xwindows [11:41] the nvidia kernel files were out of wack [11:41] i re-updated with -f or something, which gave me the GUI back, but the menu has gone back to 3.5 [11:42] hi I want to run xen on my kubuntu 8.04.1 but after installing a xen kernel, the system wont boot and I get this at boot up: ata3: timeout waiting for ADMA LEGACY CLEAR AND IDLE, stat 0x0 does someone know how to fix this?

[11:50] sup incorrect [11:52] enzo: yeah no prob [11:52] thanks flaccid [11:52] if you have apt errors etc. you can always paste the full output in pastebin for us to check out [11:53] i've ran apt-get dist-upgrade instead of aptitude, i hope it's going to be fine :) [11:53] thanks for your help flaccid ! [11:54] ty flaccid for the link on bitchX earlier im on it now new user nick ty ty ty [11:54] hey flaccid; if the menu and some parts of the GUI have reverted back to kde 3.5 style, but I still have the 4.1 intro and widget buttons etc [11:54] should I try reinstalling the kd4 packages that are installed? [11:54] flaccid: another question: imagine someone who was on hardy 8.04, and imagine few days after 8.04.1 is out, this person gets upgrade by doing just a apt-get upgrade ? [11:54] np [11:55] Gigant0r: negative, you are probably just running the kde3 versions instead of the kde4 versions of the apps or the kde4 version is not installed yet. this confused me heaps at first too [11:55] enzo: correct [11:55] it may be a dist-upgrade if not upgrade but yeah [11:55] ok..so how do you change versions? [11:55] ok [11:56] it was working all nicely as 4.1 before i ran an upgrade and the kernel cracked the shits [11:57] Gigant0r: give me an example of an app that you need a version for [11:58] ok, what app or package controls the main menu [11:58] it looks all shit again [11:58] :\ [11:59] im sorry i dont exactly know what to tell you - i was only using kubuntu for a few days , with 4.1, but its missing stuff [12:00] Anyone know where/how kde file associations are stored? [12:00] on hardy, it's kde4 or still 3 by the way ? [12:00] friggin scribus has added itself as the default application for about 1000 applications that it doesn't actually support [12:00] Gigant0r: so you want to use kde4 or kde3. kde4 support is in a dif chan, but im happy to help you in that chan [12:00] enzo: kde3 by default [12:00] naught101: system settings | default applications | file associations [12:01] flaccid: yeah, but I mean the back end [12:01] enzo: either 3 or 4 on hardy. intrepid will be 4 [12:01] and it's easy to switch to kde 4.1 on hardy naught101? [12:01] naught101: backend? [12:01] I would like to edit it manually [12:01] naught101: edit the mime files themselves? [12:01] enzo: yeah, just install kubuntu-kde4 [12:01] flaccid: correct [12:01] and it's kde 4 or kde 4.1 naught101 ? [12:01] naught101: i can't remember myself, perhaps #kde can advise [12:02] enzo: 4.1 [12:02] it's still unusable, from my point of view [12:02] ok, thanks flaccid [12:02] flaccid: intrepid vill be kde 4 you said, but kde 4.1 is stable enough no ? [12:02] depends who you talk to [12:02] :) [12:02] I hope intrepid doesn't go to kde4 [12:03] it is [12:03] with kde3 option of course [12:03] naught101: you advise not to switch to kde 4 ? [12:03] enzo: unless you enjoy eye-candy over functionality [12:03] i like eye-candy, but first of all, i love stability... [12:04] 4.1 is not yet stable enough ? i though it was (i'm not talking about kde 4.0 which was crapy) [12:05] how can I check if I use 4.0 or 4.1? [12:06] neukadmin: wrong chan, see topic [12:07] flaccid irssi wont show me the whole topic, what is the kde4 channel called? [12:08] neukadmin: its in the topic if you read it [12:10] the topic I can see ends at: " |Chat in #kubuntu-offtopi" I cant see any more of the topic (this is probably because I dont know how to handle irssi) [12:11] !kde4 [12:11] KDE 4.1.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

Apart from one library that seemed to relate to xine, is this true? [12:55] nogagplz: ubuntu uses pulseaudio, kubuntu (kde) generally uses kde by default [12:56] so it would be arts/alsa, correct? (haven't used it in ages) [12:56] um yeah pretty much [12:56] xine is an engine not a sound system.. [12:57] I never said xine was a sound system... [12:57] i never said you did [12:57] So why say thta at all? [12:57] Anyway, thanks for your help :D [12:57] because a felt like it? [12:57] to give you additional info? [12:57] to HELP you?

[12:59] geek_: um they both use alsa but the sound system is different [12:59] Gigantor: nah im on kde3 atm anyway [12:59] oic [13:00] i need some stability because im trying to re-factor the kubuntu website so it doesn't need js for presentation [13:01] flaccid: thought pulseaudio was a spind server on its own? [13:01] *sound [13:02] yeah um im getting mixed up myself [13:02] pulseaudio is a sound server that hooks into the alsa sound system [13:02] i mix the terms up here by accident sometimes [13:03] flaccid: i just realised the window manager was compiz, not kwin [13:03] so i lost all the perty transparency stuff [13:03] as well as kicker going back, thats why i thought kde was borked [13:04] oh right. yeah kwin --replace to replace current windows manager and same thing for compiz ie. compiz --replace [13:14] !webmin [13:14] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[14:14] nikolas_: its a different system in such a way that it affects you, youo need to sort it yourself now [14:14] or you could install kde3.5 then upgrade it might be ok [14:15] ActionParsnip, it doesnt work.... i have some issues regarding sound... when i boot i get a message saying that the soundcard cannot be initialised(or something like that) [14:17] nikolas_: then you'll need to configure it [14:17] nikolas_: start by runing lspci and go from there [14:17] and make sure you are fully apt-get updated [14:17] get the exact error message from the logs [14:18] then google it [14:18] nikolas_: what sound card do you have?

But there might also be a menu editor like in KDE the kmenu-editor [14:59] alacarte [14:59] changing menu items in kde is done by rightclicking the kmenu and selecting edit [14:59] Adiwan: thanks..Ill try that. [14:59] (I don't know about kde4 tho) [15:00] gleyve: you can use another menu [15:00] yes there are other menu systems kbfx is an alternate kmenu, also for kde4 theres lancelot (sp?) [15:01] I'm using a Thinkpad R61 with nvidia graphics - I want to know where the script lies for changing the brightness. Or how to start the power manager in KDE4 to do that. [15:01] you can even use baghira (kwin-style baghira has a menu that pairs with it too) [15:01] sorry adiwan can't help you there I'm not nvidia savvy [15:02] gleyve: right click on the panel and add different menus. i guess there a 3 menus in gnome, one should be the one search [15:02] ^^ [15:02] adiwan just use the fn keys [15:02] yeah.. but these don't work in KDE4 [15:02] really? [15:02] jupp [15:03] they work just fine on my A22m [15:03] in kde4 you can add to panel [15:03] it uses same set of applets (plasma) as the desktop [15:03] I'd like to costumize my start menu, because the default three items menu(applications, places, system) takes to much space of my panel. [15:03] ww l'olio d'oliva === cacf3b2074 is now known as LimCore [15:03] gleyve: see my answer === LimCore is now known as limcore_work [15:03] gleyve you can turn them off but if they're kde4 I don't know if it has a menu editor, maybe launcelot has one? [15:04] gnumm: I'll try.just a moment. [15:04] either that or use the legacy kde3 menu (its available in kde4, just not the default) [15:04] you have to add it as an applet to the panel (and remove the one you have) [15:04] he uses gnome [15:04] hello folks [15:04] yah I use the traditional kmenu plasma in kde4.. Im not a fan of the kickstarter [15:05] I think its called kickoff in kde4 (part of plasma) [15:05] yes [15:05] in kde3 it was simply kicker) [15:05] yeah... kickoff is crap - but the search is fine [15:05] i like it [15:05] gnome simply calles it a panel afaik.. but its different [15:05] yah something like that.. bah it kinda suckie [15:06] theres two bars for a start in gnome [15:06] (upper panel with system tray and your menu system, and lower panel with stuff like trash bar and tasks from memory) [15:06] the one thing i really miss os the quicklaunch buttons on kde4 panel [15:06] sorry trash icon [15:07] you can add an app launcher icon easily enough from memory, but it is a menu rather than a mini area for several quicklaunchers [15:07] snarkster: there is a version at kde-look.org but this doesn't work zu me [15:08] there isn't even a crystal decorator style for KDE4... that I've noticed [15:08] really?? I downloaded some plasmas and they had to be compiled then I had compile issues and the author knew about it but wouldnt adjust his code.. stupid l33t people [15:08] Riciao a tutti! [15:09] snarkster, go easy, plasma is relatively new [15:09] they were probably too busy... [15:09] true [15:09] lots of work to do I guess [15:09] Ill be quiet for now. :) [15:09] I just wish there wasn't so much of a push towards kde4... [15:10] not that I don't like it at all, I just want to wait till it gets really good before I use it [15:10] it will only become good when people use it [15:10] dont get me wrong kde3.5.9 is great.. [15:10] right now I luuurve kde3.5.9 and am familiar with it, sofar it seems kde4 isn't there yet for me... [15:11] gnumm I use it, (admittedly I use kde3 more) [15:11] good :) [15:11] ibex is going to have kde4 only (as /kde not in /kde4) [15:11] and it doesn't look like its going to have a /kde3 for legacy :( [15:12] snarkster: Current kdelibs packages do not provide some cmake plugins required for those plasmoids, such as kde_add_ui_files. It will be fixed in very near future... [15:12] nice good to know [15:12] (I think its 4.1 or 4.2 or something) [15:12] ibex will use kde 4.1.1 [15:13] ok :)... I was close :) hehe) [15:14] or kde 4.1.2 [15:14] http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Schedules/KDE4/4.1_Release_Schedule [15:14] my apologies my daughter sent me a picture of the wedding dress she wants. [15:15] Maybe even 4.1.3, since ibex is scheduled for october 30th [15:15] don't get me wrong I do want kde4 but I aren't ready to get rid of kde3 yet... === tomaz is now known as Guest78523 [15:16] trying to use aspell but it complains there's no "us" dictionary, which is the default LANGUAGE environ variable; aspell does have a en_US dicionary. should i chnage my LANG? willthat hose something else? [15:16] So I just did a fresh install with Kububtu 8.04 Using Encrypted LVM. Now when I machine boots up and I go into dolphin and my main drive I cannot access it. It says something about mount with signature ssass on interface org.freedesktop.hal.device.volume doesn't exist [15:16] Any suggestions on how I can fix this ? [15:16] I don't get why they can't make a /.kde3 instead of using /.kde (kinda like the opposite of what they have currently for kde4) [15:16] ForgeAus: Nobody is. But I'm on 4.1.61 at the moment, and it's getting harder and harder to resist. ;) [15:16] ouch scar! [15:16] kde 4.1.3 is planed for november 5th [15:16] i think ibex will have kde 4.1.2 [15:16] ForgeAus: I think it has to do something with fstab but I am not sure === Guest78523 is now known as tomaz [15:17] but new versions of kde should be in backports [15:17] gnumm: Then there will be a quick update ;) [15:17] Githzerai: i don't know :) [15:17] scareye um probably something to do with the encrpytion an dthe way your trying to mount it... (so yes possibly in the fstab) [15:17] (and/or mtab) [15:17] or crypttab [15:18] =\ [15:18] I don't know how to mount drives with encryption keys/lvm stuff [15:18] hehe didn't know there was a crypttab but if there is, there too possibly (for all I know) [15:18] By the way I have done this installation on many machines they all have the same issue [15:18] and I am sure I am not the only one that had this issue [15:19] Scar I don't think its the machine I think its a matter of having to have the credentials to decrypt it [15:19] I don't know what mechanism is needed to supply that... [15:19] ForgeAus: yes I agree. But where can I find this documentation [15:19] * ForgeAus shrugs [15:20] um theres howto's about lvm, but I don't know if encryption is covered there [15:20] it might be a good place to start... [15:20] !lvm [15:20] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [15:20] !encryption [15:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption [15:21] lol uh... thats handy.. not! [15:21] got it [15:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemLVMHowto [15:21] ok there u go :) [15:21] this should be the same for kubuntu also.. [15:21] the major parts [15:21] yes its same OS [15:21] just kde/gnome and the choice of apps that go with them thats different [15:21] the GNU stuff under the hood is = [15:22] (ie ubuntu-minimal, and probably lots of other stuff) [15:22] I still don't get why theres an Icebuntu but not a Stepbuntu! lol [15:22] (enlightenment and fluxbox have ones too) [15:23] for example=i.e. or for example=e.g. ? [15:23] i never know =/ [15:23] ForgeAus: Do you know of good sites that has cool themes for kubuntu ? [15:23] ScarEye_: kde-look.org [15:23] uh kde-look.org is about the only place I can suggest to look [15:23] anyone use Vmware on kubuntu ? [15:23] okay.. I know about that place maybe I thought there were others. [15:23] i'm not a native speaker in english === sysadmin is now known as TemplePrime [15:24] either that or google for stuff like kdm theme or kde style [15:26] <|Dreams|> is kde 4.1 any good now? [15:27] <|Dreams|> or poeple still sticking with older kde [15:27] Dreams both kinda [15:27] KDE4.1 is not bad but afaik not > KDE3 yet... [15:27] <|Dreams|> ok will stick with kde 3 or gnome for now then thanks [15:28] hehe out of the two I'd recommend kde3 :) [15:29] <|Dreams|> i was going to put kubuntu back on my system but read a guide on softpedia which shows u how to make ur system encrypted using ubuntu so was going to give it a whirl [15:30] you can encrypt with either [15:30] but I guess the guide doesn't show kde way (if theres any gnome-specific stuff on it) [15:30] most of that is related to stuff like earlier [15:30] !lvm [15:30] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [15:30] and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemLVMHowto [15:31] |Dreams|: KDE 4 session is installed separately in hardy. So there is no resaon not to check it out and make your oppinion yourself ;) [15:31] <|Dreams|> it just basically just says use the alrtenate ubuntu cd and then use the no graphical installer and choose encrpyted lvm etc [15:31] be it ubuntu or kubuntu, I think the same [15:31] <|Dreams|> oki [15:31] kubuntu also has an alternate cd [15:31] (text-mode installer) [15:31] <|Dreams|> yeah [15:31] <|Dreams|> oh right [15:31] the normal LIVE cd is gui based with graphical installer but alternate one isn't [15:32] <|Dreams|> will download both then and try with kubuntu first cheers for that [15:32] i installed this laptop using the server edition cd.. it is text mode install as well.. but the kernel is different [15:32] so you don't NEED to choose ubuntu just because of that... unless you want [15:32] older? or just alternative? [15:33] <|Dreams|> i am looking for the alternate kubuntu x64 now [15:34] brb see if I know hwere it is.. [15:34] Kubuntu and Ubuntu are two same systems with two different GUI's. On the basic level you'll get the same results with both. [15:34] <|Dreams|> found it [15:34] <|Dreams|> :) [15:35] <|Dreams|> so i gather all of you guys prefer kubuntu to ubuntu [15:36] Well, it is a Kubuntu chat room ... :) [15:36] well yeah thats why this place exists :) [15:36] <|Dreams|> lmao [15:36] for kde freaks instead of default gnomers :) [15:36] <|Dreams|> i used kubuntu for over a year then just recently tried ubuntu for last 3 weeks [15:36] gnome isnt to bad.. [15:36] takes some getting used to [15:37] <|Dreams|> got to say gnome looks more polished but kde has more function only thing i did not like about kde was the "windows feel" [15:37] * geek_ has tried ubuntu and kubuntu. might be tossing fluxbuntu on a box, which might be switched over to icewm [15:37] essentially here gives you the options: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download [15:37] |Dreams|: the windows feel heled me ;p [15:37] helped me [15:37] hehe geek you can get icewm from standard kubuntu [15:37] no need to switch to fluxbuntu just add/remove packages [15:38] ForgeAus: the system is too slow to really bother with gnome and KDE [15:38] it might have a windows feel but its what windows was supposed to be and they couldnt figure it out. LOL [15:38] kde can be windows-feel-ized [15:38] more than icewm imho [15:38] and its currently running debian stable... [15:38] sure the default has differences [15:39] geek thats harsh,, too slow? or do you mean old PC? [15:39] kde doesn't have big reqs really [15:39] at least 256 mb of memory [15:40] ForgeAus: 128 mb Piii 733 [15:40] wow [15:40] ok well that is kinda small, so go for a kubuntu feisty or something :) [15:40] thats really the bottleneck. the rest of the system is pretty decent [15:40] you need at least one more stick of ram.. I happen to have pc100 memory laying around.. [15:41] ForgeAus: yeah, hence me wanting to start with fluxbuntu [15:41] snarkster: laptop [15:41] my other PIII has 640 MB ;p [15:41] oh [15:41] or better yet trade up for a better notebook! lol [15:41] no not pc100 laptop Im looking for another stick of 256 for my own machine [15:42] ive got 380 smething or other now.. really want 512 [15:42] and this laptop can do just about anyhting [15:42] ForgeAus: i just need it to get online (via a USB wireless thing which i know works on fiesty) and not feel too slow ;p [15:43] geek then get feisty if you think its too slow, get fluxbox and start shedding kde packages you don't need [15:43] (like kde-toys for example) [15:43] hey! I like armor.. the kitten is cute.. [15:44] hehe snarkster, sorry... but it isn't strictly necessary, its a "trim the fat" kinda thing [15:44] awww poor little kitty [15:44] kde can be shrunk alot from the kubuntu-desktop metapackage pool [15:45] note removing kde-toys itself only removes the metapackage probably so you need to check the deps and remove them instead) [15:45] metapackages kinda tend to just act as a wrapper for many other packages, so the metapackage itself is emtpy! [15:46] its just there as a placeholder for the dependancies to get all that stuff [15:46] (or he could just build up from a simple minimal install, installing only the kde packages he needs...) [15:46] ForgeAus: or just start with fluxbuntu, and install what packages i need [15:46] if he is going fluxbox why does he need kde packages at all.. [15:46] Jucato thats essentially same thing from the other end :) [15:47] the MAIN issue i have is a network manager applet. else i'd go for a icewm build from scratch [15:47] snark flux is just a windowmanager, you still need a desktop [15:47] oh [15:47] fluxbuntu I think uses gnome (or maybe xfce??) still as its desktop but fluxbox as its wm [15:47] see what do i know [15:48] or maybe openbox, can't quite remember, but it isn't just fluxbox alone [15:48] (actually it isn't even named after the fluxbox wm) [15:48] (actually fluxbox doesn't really *need* a desktop) [15:48] it just happens to use it because its lightweight and fits with the paradigm fluxbuntu is going for [15:48] so i installed firefox on my kde4 box (this one to be exact) and when i use it my hard drive starts thrashing and everything comes to a stop while that is going on.. [15:49] oops Jucato... sorry I'm spreading lies again unintentionally :( [15:49] ForgeAus: still, i can start with a working WM and built up [15:49] ForgeAus: well, you have to clarify which flux* you're referring to. as far as fluxbox is concerned, it's a standalone WM. dunno what fluxbuntu sets up though [15:49] * geek_ might use firefox instead of the standard unpronouncable browser for one ;p [15:49] konqueror is unpronounceable? :) [15:49] geek you can start with like Jucato says ubuntu-minimal and work your way up if you want [15:50] (firefox reqs gtk and is not a kde or qt app) [15:50] i beg to differ, there is a qt version out there now [15:50] ForgeAus: tried that with icewm [15:50] there is a qt firefox? ok I wasn't aware of that [15:50] its beautiful as well. LOL [15:51] like i said, the killer for me right now is working out what is the equivilent of knetwork manager/network manager [15:51] * Jucato notes that that is probably sarcastic :) [15:51] :) I know theres qt themes for it but didn't know there was a qt version [15:51] geek_ are you going wireless? [15:51] ForgeAus: there is.. it's not a "qt version" technically... but bottom line is that it uses qt partly [15:51] although it's main target is not the desktop [15:51] snarkster: the system has no ethernet. i KNOW for a fact one of my wireless USB adaptors work, so yeah going wireless [15:52] how to find it? [15:52] easy peasy.. iwconfig wlan0 [15:52] jucato do you mean gtk-qt wrapper? [15:52] snarkster: er,is wpa2 supported by that? ;p [15:52] ForgeAus: no. much much deeper than that [15:53] um hmm dont know have to investicate that. [15:53] how to get it then? I havn't heard of it [15:53] (the gtkqt wrapper can be used for any gnome app not just firefox) [15:53] interesting to see if/how it would work with vmware :) [15:53] it's still in heavy development (pre-alpha?) [15:54] ive seen screenshots of it. but yes pre-alpha lots bugs [15:54] ok I'll wait for that one [15:54] ForgeAus: http://dot.kde.org/1218543988/ [15:54] theres also a gnome-webkit project [15:55] (not sure if its intended as a browser itself or to embed webkit into firefox?) [15:55] huh what? [15:55] wow the mozilla suite not just firefox, that might mean qt thunderbird and songbird, too!! [15:56] you can't embed webkit into firefox :) [15:56] as an alternate engine [15:56] O.o [15:56] you can use ie as an alternate engine so I'm not sure why you couldn't chose webkit [15:56] (instead of the default, gecko?) [15:56] or maybe along with the default I don't know [15:56] integration issues? [15:57] * ForgeAus shrugs [15:57] (anyway offtopic) [15:57] hehe [15:57] (ok just one more thing to add anyway ie-tab is the extension to use ie's rendering engine in firefox) [15:57] (yeah but that is on Windows) [15:57] I don't think that works in a linux environment tho [15:57] (might do under wine) [15:58] (still offtopic :D) [16:00] hehe with qt firefox pretty much no need for gnome apps at all (I guess the gimp is about the only one) [16:00] and thats not even gnome so much as gtk [16:00] forgot about Krita? [16:00] krita as in koffice? how's it stack upa gainst gimp? [16:01] * geek_ sadly tends to use paint.net. its one of the few windows apps he NEEDS [16:01] krita doesnt hold a candle to gimp [16:01] (basically Firefox will still use Cairo...) [16:01] snarkster: agree, but it's getting there. [16:01] modified cairo [16:01] snarkster: i tend to find gimp's UI a little too 'busy' [16:02] Krita and the GIMP serve different audiences and purposes [16:02] and inkscape against karbon14? [16:02] ForgeAus: no comparison :) [16:02] karbon14 doesn't do anything that inkscape does =x [16:02] tomaz: it does [16:02] it draws a line [16:03] LMAO [16:03] fig draws a linew [16:04] so does dia [16:04] is there a kde version xfig? [16:04] so does a few lines of c ;p [16:04] who has time to write a few lines of c to draw a line.. [16:05] ;p [16:05] :P [16:06] snarkster: Umbrello is better than dia imo [16:06] tomaz: depends. Umbrello is a dediated UML app. Dia is a generic diagramming app [16:06] never used it [16:06] theres kde diagramming apps tho [16:07] kivio... but that.... [16:07] oh name one.. [16:07] let's just wait for the Qt/KDE4 version :) [16:07] kivio?? is that a diagramming app for kde?? [16:07] kivio even has dia shapes :) [16:07] snarkster: yep [16:07] ForgeAus: you can *import* dia shapes :) [16:07] kivio is like a kde visio, kinda [16:07] nice I need that [16:08] kinda :) [16:08] heh ejucato the kivio I have had them already (maybe I got a plugin?) [16:08] after upgrading from gutsy to hardy, some keys of my keyboard logitech don't work anymore, any idea ? [16:08] you might be disappointed at the aliasing in kivio though. heard it was really a Qt 3 issue [16:08] visio is better imho [16:08] kded (kde daemon) keep crashing when i click on these keys [16:08] but kivio shows lotsa promise [16:08] ForgeAus: oh right. i have them too [16:09] will there be a kde4 vers of kdevelop? [16:09] yah but I dont have visio and Id rather openspurce it than sell my soul to redmond [16:09] or just same one? [16:09] I'm still interested in Kivio.. but probably the 2.0 version [16:09] ForgeAus: there will be. but it's under heavy development [16:09] kewl [16:09] (and I do mean *heavy*) [16:09] hehe hopefully mono integration :) [16:09] (since they are doing some things differently) [16:09] like Quanta+ being a "part" of it? [16:10] no kvivo in the repos [16:10] boo under kdevelop might be interesting I know they're considering C# [16:10] (well the kdevplatform basically) [16:10] quanta+ built in? interesting!

The first one, Dolphin no longer has anything in the places menu (this may be my two year olds fault, he loves playing Gcompris). I can add folders back, but I'd really like to just restore the default list. Is there a way? [16:12] nb72: the panel is still there, but it's empty? [16:12] nb maybe you can reconfigure it from apt-get? [16:12] duh [16:12] sowwy [16:12] panel is still there but empty, yes. [16:13] I dont like koffice, prefer OOo but I really need to do a layout of my house [16:13] oh wait I'm in #kubuntu... I don't remember how D3lphin (KDE3) works [16:13] snarkster: OO.o Draw?

[16:17] I just did a reinstall from adept, that didn't seem to help unless I need to restart. I don't see a reconfigure command for apt-get. What would I use there? [16:18] nb72: this is KDE 3? [16:18] KDE4 [16:18] aaah you should have mentioned that earlier :P [16:18] sorry [16:18] 4.1 to be specific [16:18] can you right-click on the Places panel and see if there's a "Show all entries" option? === ilian_ is now known as malkiq [16:19] right-click in the panel doesn't give me anything.

[17:49] just a logical deduction. kde4 is newer less refined, less polished, less developed. so it's probably the one you want. that's what most people choose.

[18:39] Agent_bob I'll head over there now. I was on the forums until I decided to ask here...just kind of jumping from place to place hoping someone has an answer. Thanks for the help! [18:39] rocknzen most of us are. welcome to the private club of all humanity. [18:40] coleco-32 welcome. and sorry it wasn't obvious. [18:40] If I am the only uif I am logged in as root then why do I get the following error when trying to create shared folders: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [18:41] because reguardless of what account you use. the app in question is probably using suid/sgid and the user/group that it is does not have permission. [18:42] simple answer is find the user/group and own the dir in question. [18:42] so how can I "get" permission and can you explain that a little more I am new to linux I just made the jump from Windows about a week ago [18:43] sorry I dont understand that [18:44] I also got a similiar error when I tried to setup guarddog firewall [18:46] sure. first of all unlike that other OS, linux uses file/inode permissions and ownership on every inode. ls -l ~ #will list the files/dirs in your home and their ownership+permission secondly any application with an suid "set user id" bit will run as the user that owns the app thus seperating the login uid form the application uid. that means that the application in question is not running as the person t [18:47] this is very important for network applications. else anyone that logs in as root on their box would be root on your box when they accessed it. [18:49] i'll not spend hours detailing and expounding all this. but that's the basic issue there. all the reading you want is on the web i might sujest starting with wikipidia.org *nix permissions [18:50] is it ok if I paste output of ls -l here so you could see and explain it to me a little more?

[18:51] ok isnt there a simple way to do this [18:52] I'm not looking for a lesson here [18:52] you mean you want someone else to setup your server for you ? [18:53] i'll set it up. makes it easer for me to access later that way :))) [18:53] no just explain to me where on my system I need to look to start the process [18:53] that's a joke ^ incase the humour didn't translate. [18:53] ok it didnt [18:54] I am just really frustrated right now [18:54] this shoud not be that dificult [18:54] especially if its my pc [18:55] rocknzen the learning curve in linux is a full magnatude higher than in that other OS we can't and don't really want to change that. so. lets start at step one. what are you trying to do? === cherubael is now known as STREENG [18:56] All I want to do is share a folder between me and my daughter [18:56] on the same pc 2 seperate logins [18:57] why samba then ? that's for sharing with M$ [18:58] thats the error I got when I right clicked the folder and went to sharing options [18:58] rocknzen just change the permission on the dir and your good to go. sudo chmod 777 /dir/ # where /dir/ is the path to the "folder" [18:58] thats what I am talking about [19:01] but right click "share" sets up a samba share for network sharing. on one pc you can just give the other person permission. and i would sujest that you make users group and put both people in that group. (don't drop the admin group from the administrative account though) then run ( sudo chown :users /dir/ ;sudo chmod 775 /dir/ ) # which would make things a little more secure than the chmod i mentioned earlier. [19:03] and welcome to the new world of choices. "aka freedom" found in linux. [19:04] where there is always " [ -gt 1 ] && defur a feline " [19:05] way || "defur a feline" # hehhe [19:06] i'm adding a drive to my computer and I'm planning on installing a new install on it, then copying the content of the previous drive over with cp -rpv to the root directory, overwriting the new install and implementing the old one on the new drive. Any complications you guys may see with this? [19:07] Hi all [19:07] is i remember well, that the new version of interpid announced to yesterday? [19:07] next alpha or beta who knows... [19:07] security was one of the reasons I decided to jump to linux [19:08] #ubuntu+1 for that meta [19:08] Am I the only person who doesn't see the benefits in installing 64bit Linux desktop OS on a system with less than 3GB of RAM? I see other people doing it all the time, and they have various issues with the system because of 32bit support lacking in certain areas etc. I cannot figure out what these huge benefits are, that users require 64bit for. [19:08] that and the ability to tailor it to my needs [19:08] not to mention the resource hog that Windows is especially Vista [19:09] at least three lufthanza 1. installing then cloning is redundant at best. 2. you'll want to omit the content of /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ in that copy. they will all be in ram on the running system. 3. new drive will have different addressing so you'll have to edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/devices.map and /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly. [19:09] Now it feels like I have a totaly new laptop [19:10] lufthanza let me clearify one thing, i mean only the content of those three dirs. the dirs will need to exist. [19:10] Agent_bob: thanks for your help [19:11] rocknzen welcome [19:11] rocknzen my reason was not security or resources. but rather EULA [19:11] not that both of those arent good reasons. [19:12] Sure that had something to do with it too [19:12] Agent_bob: I'm trying to avoid installing the linux bootloader manually, yareg is annoying to deal with [19:12] hi is this room for ubuntu or kubuntu [19:12] kubuntu [19:12] Kubuntu [19:12] hence the title ;-) [19:12] is there any channel for ubuntu [19:12] #ubuntu [19:12] gonna guess #ubuntu [19:13] Agent_bob: isn't /dev, /proc, and /sys generated at boot btw? [19:13] rocknzen i couldn't see paying someone $200+ so i could agree to give them my hardware and anything it touched, and the prospect of just lying about it, and saying "yes i agree" when i knew that i didn't, just hung in my craw... [19:14] lufthanza they are all mount points for things that are in ram yes. === Tizz__ is now known as Tizz [19:14] lufthanza cat /proc/mounts you will notice that also /var/run and some other dirs are in ram === meow_ is now known as digest [19:15] Agent_bob: then wouldn't the ram based entries on my old drive (proc, dev, sys) be empty when i copy from them? [19:15] lufthanza notice that /proc/kcore is the intire ram so making a copy of that is kinda wasteful [19:15] yeah I agree, you know I used to have this feeling that I was being watched too if you know what I mean? [19:16] not that I am the paranoid type, I'm not [19:16] lufthanza i mentioned that "on the running system" they are in ram. so if you used a live cd to clone you wont have to omit anything. [19:16] do you mean $200 for a new version of OS? [19:17] rocknzen yeah [19:17] Agent_bob: but a live cd wouldn't copy or install the bootloader :/ [19:17] why not ?

[19:32] mihaela: if you pastes a file as you said [19:32] with ctrl-c / ctrl-v [19:32] then you not moves, then you copies [19:33] meta: I does ctrl+x / ctrl+v [19:33] if you moves some files (you have selected them, and drag&dropped to somewhere else, then a context menu asks you about moving, copying, linking etc. [19:33] i never tried ctrl-x [19:33] i thought you tipoed [19:34] that behaviour is happened just when I use that keyboard shortcut : ctrl-x ctrl-v [19:34] if I use the mouse for that everything is right [19:35] looks like that also copies [19:35] mihaela, Can you use ctrl-x ctrl-v everywhere else okay? [19:36] Could sojmeone please tell me how I can select KDE to be displayed? i got kde4 installed, but i still see gnome desktop [19:37] KarlaJ, On the login screen, you will have the option to change desktop environments [19:37] FoxIII: "everywhere" ...everywhere wherre ? in another OS ? I have Kubuntu on my laptotp and Gebto on my desktop ... [19:37] mihaela, I mean in a text editor for example. [19:38] FoxIII: in kubuntu , when I use ctrl-x ctrl-v , the file I want to move , become shaded and instead to be just moved is copied [19:38] FoxIII: oh...I don't know ...stay a minute [19:39] mihaela, yes. But if you have the same problems trying to cut and paste text, then it sounds keyboard related. [19:39] * FoxIII is doing ever so well considering his 'e' key isn't working :D [19:39] FoxIII: well...in OOffice I see that ctrl-x works OK [19:40] mihaela, have you looked through the ubuntu bugs? If there's nothing there then you could report it as a bug. [19:41] FoxIII: ... and the odd thing is that the file I want ot move remained shaded === Tizz is now known as Tizz__ [19:41] mihaela, it certainly sounds like a bug. [19:43] I will try to look over the bugs file ... I'm new to K / Ubuntu ...personaly I prefere Gentoo, but for laptops I think that K/Ubuntu is better [19:47] bye! [19:56] What does Kubuntu Member's KDE 4 Personal Package Archive mean? [19:56] Hello all. [19:56] Is anyone having problems with xine? === Tizz__ is now known as Tizz [19:58] Why is it called the Kubuntu Member's KDE 4 Personal Package Archive? Does it cost money or is there anything special about it? [19:59] Amarok acted up and said it doesn't have mp3 support. It tried to get libxine1-ffmpeg, but my package manager complains that instead of getting libxine1-bin (=1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3) i'm getting 1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.1 Can someone help please? [19:59] !foldingathome [19:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about foldingathome [19:59] !folding [19:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about folding [20:01] Does the Kubuntu Member's KDE 4 Personal Package Archive Repository cost money to use? Or do you have to do something special for it? [20:01] or is it just free? [20:03] never heard of it [20:03] where do u see that @ [20:03] It's mentioned on this page: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 [20:03] i want to get help [20:04] # ubuntu [20:04] # ubuntu [20:04] all free [20:04] #ubuntu [20:05] So the repository mentioned is just a free repository? nothing special?

[20:06] yea not to big on it either [20:07] how can i make my laptop like a server [20:08] I have no Color on my Nvidia Tv-out (hardy) please help [20:08] any one help me [20:09] hello, i have been installed kde packages one-by-one to use certain apps from kde on a gnome desktop, but i don't want all of kubuntu-desktop. currently, none of the apps, which are in /usr/lib/kde4/bin are in my path. which package will add this directory to users' PATHs, system wide? [20:09] i want to get a help [20:09] rot: your laptop is already "like a server". we need a more specific question [20:09] i want to make web hosting [20:10] do u get it what i mean [20:10] rot: you want to install a web server? [20:10] yeah [20:11] and make hosting sites [20:11] rot: You'll have to get a static ip first. Do you have a static ip? [20:11] yeah I have [20:11] rot: google learn apache for Linux [20:11] I all ready install the apache [20:11] and it's working [20:12] rot: you need to buy a domain name and run DNS (or try to get your ISP to add your hostname/ip to their DNS) so your hostname resolves [20:13] I have a domain name [20:13] or try to get your ISP to add your hostname/ip to their DNS) [20:14] wiehan: it is probably outputting video composite when you have a s-vhs cable ... once upon a time you could specify it in xorg.conf .. i don't know now [20:14] rot: watch if your isp has a rule against running a web server they can drop you [20:14] what can i do to discover where is Rhythmbox's icon? [20:15] wwhy [20:15] is rogers [20:18] something to do with the bandwidth draw under consumer acct, if u tell them thats what u want to do the assign u a static ip and OF COURSE charge more money [20:18] rot: there's a good chance your ISP does not allow you to host servers. That's usually a "business class" contract, not residential ISP [20:22] yeah they have only dynamic [20:22] ip [20:22] becareful then [20:24] e vai! [20:25] hi [20:28] rot: for extra $ they'll give you a static IP but then they'll probably watch it closer to see if you're running a server and, if so, will probably charge more for that too. Only you ISP can answer these questions [20:30] i need to find a decent batch file downloader that can generate a list of files for me from s1.mp3 to s114.mp3 similer to fileget in windows [20:35] disculpen cual es el canal de español o de america latina [20:36] usuario: #kubuntu-es [20:36] gracias [20:38] Is there a way to to a filesystem check under linux for ntfs? i.e. fix file system since my ubuntu box tells me to do a sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/disk -o force in order to mount the drive.
