[00:06] <Haza> Evening folks. Im having troubles playing theora files on Kubuntu 8
[00:07] <Haza> When i try to play the file i get a very laggy system and no video output (well, i get crazy colours / graphics)
[00:07] <Haza> Where might i start in trying to understand this problem?
[00:15] <bdizzle> why doesn't shockwave or quicktime work in FF?
[00:18] <Denise> how come I have .opera/lock and it cant run?
[00:22] <ign0ramus> bdizzle: I don't believe Shockwave works, but quicktime will work with the mplayer-plugin
[00:23] <bdizzle> hmm, okay. what about java though? I'm having problems with that as well
[00:23] <ign0ramus> JRE works.  Just follow the directions from the web site to install
[00:25] <bdizzle> yeah, I tried. It was giving me a .bin or .rpm file for it
[00:25] <bdizzle> and even then, it only unzipped into a folder, it wouldn't install into Firefox
[00:29] <devo>  hey ppl, i'm back

[00:41] <SmokeEater85911> "i went to myspace and it crashed"
[00:42] <SmokeEater85911> soOoo.. why does my whole system freeze up when i go to various sites (and I think its the flash player that does it)
[00:45] <Denise> i had a smae thing
[00:45] <Denise> the same
[00:45] <smatt454> hey smoke, i've been afk, wanna fill me in on your issue
[00:45] <hoxtonhopper> @SmokeEater85911 Was yours mrs using Konq or Firefox? I find FF more robust for hellish sites like myspace
[00:46] <draik> SmokeEater85911: I currently can't use Firefox due to some unknown issue, but MySpace does tend to crash firefox. It's happened numerous times to me.
[00:46] <vilhelm> Hello!! my harddisks disspear from media dolphin and with a restart they are back anyone knows why?
[00:47] <smatt454> start firefox from konsole
[00:47] <smatt454> when it crashes, it should show somekind of error
[00:48] <smatt454> (just type "firefox" in konsole)
[00:49] <SmokeEater85911> ugh crashed again
[00:49] <SmokeEater85911> *kicks linux*
[00:49] <smatt454> smoke
[00:49] <smatt454> did u read what i said?
[00:50] <smatt454> start firefox from konsole
[00:50] <smatt454> when it crashes, it should show somekind of error
[00:50] <smatt454> (just type "firefox" in konsole)
[00:50] <SmokeEater85911> nah it crashed and I couldnt get to the window
[00:51] <smatt454> u mean the konsole window?
[00:51] <SmokeEater85911> it doesnt who an error, the screen goes all crazy like windows split up and move around, part of the taskbar is on the top some on the bottom
[00:51] <smatt454> hmm
[00:51] <SmokeEater85911> and its only if I go to a site with flash player
[00:51] <smatt454> try this (make sure u read my whole message before doing anything)
[00:51] <roldyx> hello
[00:51] <SmokeEater85911> which is about 99.9% of sites out there these days
[00:51] <roldyx>  I have kde4.. how do i move a widget???
[00:52] <roldyx> in the taskbar?
[00:52] <SmokeEater85911> so I think I should remove flashplayer and reinstall it
[00:52] <SmokeEater85911> smatt545: I installed the one in adept manager first
[00:52] <SmokeEater85911> then I went to the flash site and downloaded flash player 10 beta
[00:52] <Denise> u should install libflas-mozplugin
[00:53] <SmokeEater85911> whats that
[00:53] <Denise> I dunno but it is recommended with opera instead of flash player
[00:53] <smatt454> hold alt + crtl+ F1....this will open another terminal.....log in and type "DISPLAY=:0 firefox"...this will open firefox in your GUI....hold alt + ctrl + F7...this wil bring you back to KDE...when firefox crashes go back to alt + ctrl +F1...read what the error message says
[00:53] <Denise> root/,opera/lock
[00:53] <Denise> what does it mean
[00:54] <Daisuke_Laptop> flashplugin-nonfree
[00:54] <Denise> libflash-mozplugin sorry
[00:54] <SmokeEater85911> i already installed the nonfree
[00:54] <SmokeEater85911> am i able to get it to go to a site from the terminal?
[00:54] <Denise> the nonfree fuck up all my opera
[00:55] <smatt454> yes
[00:55] <smatt454> "firefox [site]
[00:55] <smatt454> "firefox [site]"*
[00:56] <smatt454> no quotes obviously
[00:56] <SmokeEater85911> k gimme a sec, it may cause me to restart for the Nth time
[00:56] <SmokeEater85911> brb
[00:57] <SmokeEater85911> when I type *display=:0 firefox* it says "Error: no display specified"
[00:58] <SmokeEater85911> shouldnt typing *firefox [site]* make it open FF in the gui?
[00:59] <SmokeEater85911> ..nm that didnt work either
[01:00] <v6lur> hi, what to do, if k3b burns DVD-s extremely slow? (about an hour and a half per 4,4 GB)
[01:00] <Denise> root/,opera/lock?
[01:01] <smatt454> smoke
[01:01] <SmokeEater85911> yeah
[01:01] <smatt454> DISPLAY not display
[01:01] <SmokeEater85911> oh, actual caps
[01:01] <smatt454> linux is case-sensitive xD
[01:01] <Denise> what can i do for that?
[01:01] <SmokeEater85911> yay linux lol
[01:01] <SmokeEater85911> brb
[01:01] <Denise> why it is locked?
[01:03] <SmokeEater85911> what would open it to a site?
[01:03] <SmokeEater85911> *DISPLAY=:0 Firefox [site]* wont do it
[01:04] <smatt454> firefox xD
[01:04] <smatt454> not Firefox
[01:04] <SmokeEater85911> i know
[01:04] <smatt454> hmmm
[01:04] <SmokeEater85911> it opened a ff window but not to the site I need it to go to
[01:04] <smatt454> try just DISPLAY=:0 firefox
[01:04] <smatt454> well
[01:04] <smatt454> just go to the site u need
[01:04] <SmokeEater85911> but then that will cause the system to crash, then how would I see the error?
[01:04] <SmokeEater85911> doesnt that defeat the purpose?
[01:05] <SmokeEater85911> or once it crashes will it let me back into the open termial?
[01:05] <smatt454> does it actual crash, does it restart ur computer
[01:05] <smatt454> if not
[01:05] <SmokeEater85911> it just freezes everything, mouse, screens, everything
[01:05] <smatt454> (restarting ur graphics and ur whole computer are different)
[01:05] <SmokeEater85911> the only way out of all that is to restart
[01:06] <YAOMTC> Is there any way of hiding backup files (file.extn~) in Dolphin, or even directing backup files to a specific folder, or will I need to switch to a different file manager for any of that?
[01:06] <smatt454> have u tried switching terminals when it's frozen?
[01:06] <SmokeEater85911> no, lemme try to crash it and switch.. brb
[01:06] <smatt454> ok
[01:06] <SmokeEater85911> where will the error be? in the termial window?
[01:07] <SmokeEater85911> terminal*
[01:07] <Denise> is there someone else using my opera?
 are u having problems with Flash?
[01:07] <roldyx>  I have kde4.. how do i move a widget???
[01:07] <SmokeEater85911> yeah
[01:07] <roldyx> in the taskbar?
[01:07] <SmokeEater85911> its locking up everything
[01:07] <SmokeEater85911> brb lemme try this thing real quick
[01:07] <smatt454> kk
[01:08] <BigBoy> so now maybe someone will help me
[01:08] <vilhelm> I had major problems with flash in ubuntu and then i switched to Kubuntu and everything worked fine :P
[01:08] <YAOMTC> What kinds of problems did you have, vilhelm?
 firefox crashed all the time
[01:09] <YAOMTC> Oh, that's true. So you think GNOME had something to do with it?
[01:09] <YAOMTC> I'd think it's just Adobe's crappy Linux port
 no I dont belive that :P ... i was just lucky getting it to work in kubuntu :P
[01:10] <vilhelm> haha sry for typing  your name wrong all the time :P
 :)
[01:10] <YAOMTC> There we go! XD

[01:13] <SmokeEater85911_> had to restart
[01:14] <smatt454> hmm
[01:14] <smatt454> well
[01:14] <Glady> opera
[01:14] <smatt454> the error should be in a log file somewhere

[01:16] <SmokeEater85911> wheres that
[01:16] <smatt454> i just told u where =/
[01:16] <vilhelm> ;D

[01:17] <vilhelm> hehe :)
[01:18] <SmokeEater85911> nothin about firefox in there
[01:18] <SmokeEater85911> or flash
 is your problem with fire that it crashes all the time?
[01:19] <Glady> how coem I m root and I don<t have a permission
 do you got libflash installed?
[01:19] <SmokeEater85911> it crashes any time I go to a heavy flash site
[01:20] <SmokeEater85911> like newgrounds or myspace
[01:20] <SmokeEater85911> libflash?
 yes
[01:20] <SmokeEater85911> negative
[01:20] <SmokeEater85911> which one do I need?
[01:21] <SmokeEater85911> libflash-mozzplugin
[01:21] <SmokeEater85911> the thing is, Im running flashplayer 10 so I probably need to uninstall that
 i have these installed flashplugin-nonfree and FlashBlock
[01:22] <SmokeEater85911> i have the nonfree
[01:22] <SmokeEater85911> but do these even work with flash 10?
[01:22] <SmokeEater85911> or should I remove 10 and stick with 9 for now?
 hmm i dont know ..:/
[01:23] <SmokeEater85911> well lets try
[01:23] <SmokeEater85911> how do you remove the flash plugin
[01:23] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Are you trying to get FF + Flash + kubuntu 8 to work?
[01:24] <SmokeEater85911> yes
[01:24] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: I did have alot of problems with Kubuntu 7 and all that but with FF2 and flash it was a case of installing the player via the browser
[01:25] <Haza> I did this about a week ago
[01:25] <SmokeEater85911> well how do you remove all flash players? so I can start it from scratch
[01:25] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Do you own a baseball bat?
[01:25] <vilhelm> LOL
[01:26] <SmokeEater85911> no but i have some golf clubs haha
[01:26] <vilhelm> haha funny to see a guy that does not take that joke so seriously :D
[01:26] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Well. im no linux guru but what have you done so far?
[01:26] <Haza> installed FF and...?
[01:27] <SmokeEater85911> k I installed FF
 Install ScriptBlock
[01:27] <smatt454> i think all new linux users should start with gentoo
[01:27] <vilhelm> LOL :D
[01:27] <SmokeEater85911> and then I went through the apt manager and downloaded the nonfree plugin
[01:27] <smatt454> then it makes kubuntu seem SOOO much easier
[01:27] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Okay
[01:27] <SmokeEater85911> then I went to the flash site, and downloaded flash 10
[01:27] <Haza> (i did the same thing last time)
 actually that was my first distro i tried :D :D
[01:27] <td-work> whats the consensus on kde 4.1 on 8.04.1 ?
[01:28] <td-work> trying to decide either ubuntu or kubuntu.  i know they are drastically different due to gnome/kde.  just want some shoot from the hip opinions.
[01:28] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Anything else
[01:28] <smatt454> kubutu with kde 3.5...in my opinion
[01:28] <SmokeEater85911> thats it
 i have not tried KDE 4.1
[01:28] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Okay. just give this a try
[01:28] <smatt454> gnome just doesnt do enough for my needs
[01:29] <Haza> load a browser and goto a site with flash on it
[01:29] <jaydee> all linux users should start with slackware
[01:29] <smatt454> apparently linux torvalds agrees =p
[01:29] <Haza> Nothing heavy or crap like MySpace
[01:29] <SmokeEater85911> anything with flash at all does it
[01:29] <td-work> lol, my first experience on linux, 10 years ago, was slack, funny.
[01:29] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Does what sorry?
[01:29] <Haza> I haven't been following
[01:29] <SmokeEater85911> locks the system up, the screen goes all crazy and the only way out is reboot
[01:30] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Damn. Makes it a pain in the ass to debug im guessing eh? ;)
[01:30] <SmokeEater85911> i agree
[01:30] <SmokeEater85911> can you just remove flash plugins though?
[01:30] <SmokeEater85911> that way i can re-install them
[01:31] <Haza> Well you can remove...um the nonfree one via the apt manager thingy-ma-bob
[01:31] <SmokeEater85911> through firefox should I be able to remove the flash 10 beta?
[01:32] <smatt454> whats the output of "dpkg -l | grep flash"
[01:32] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: See that smatt454 guy looks like he know's what he's talking about
[01:32] <Haza> Im just pretending
 :D :D
[01:33] <SmokeEater85911> hah
[01:33] <smatt454> xP
[01:33] <SmokeEater85911> anybody try http://scotttesterman.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/flash-in-kubuntu-710-how-to-fix-it/

[01:33] <smatt454> so smoke.....whats the output of "dpkg -l | grep flash"
[01:34] <SmokeEater85911> flashplugin-nonfree                        9.0.124.0ubuntu2
[01:34] <SmokeEater85911> but,, if I go to about:plugins it says flash 10
[01:35] <Nutzebahn> Hello. I am just notifying you that the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is telling people not to buy the IPhone 3G because it does not allow the installation of free software.

 have u tried to install AD-Block and ScriptBlock?
[01:41] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: vilhelm is onto something there.. install something like those tools and they will block the flash by default
[01:41] <Haza> Me though.. i like "no script" ;)
[01:41] <SmokeEater85911> what do those 2 do
[01:42] <Haza> SmokeEater85911:  They block scripts and the like
[01:42] <aanderse> the gnome app cheese is awesome, someone needs to port it to kde4 :)
[01:42] <Glady> are there the same for ubuntu?
 yes there are

 then i'm out of advices for u m8
[01:46] <bazhang> Glady, adblock plus is the name
[01:46] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Can you not remove the plugin from the plugins section of FF?
[01:46] <SmokeEater85911> ther is no way to remove installed plugins
[01:46] <bazhang> Glady, that search term leads to the ff addon page
 Yes there is
[01:47] <v6lur> aanderse, http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/MyFace?content=77565 ? (Qt4, not KDE4 though)
[01:47] <v6lur> (i haven't used it, just found it on a quick search)
[01:47] <Glady> hmm
[01:47] <Haza> The baseball bat...
[01:48] <Glady> my guess is ur trying to make a mess
[01:48] <Haza> Or fire.. thats also removes plugins.. and your eyebrows
[01:48] <smatt454> "sudo apt-get purge firefox"
[01:48] <smatt454> then reinstall firefox

[01:50] <SmokeEater85911> hm I can disable the flash10 plugin, I dont know how to remove it though
[01:50] <SmokeEater85911> but disabling it should be good right?
[01:53] <vilhelm> btw anyone in here that might now why sometimes my harddisks "dissapear" from media dolphin?
[01:53] <SmokeEater85911> Package firefox is not installed, so not removed
[01:53] <SmokeEater85911> haha
[01:53] <SmokeEater85911> nice
[01:55] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: ....

[01:57] <SmokeEater85911> i hate you firefox haha
[01:59] <SmokeEater85911> ill be back, im gonna go eat.. food for though
[02:00] <draik> For those using Kaffeine, how do you resolve this issue... "This DVD Video is encrypted. To be able to watch it you will need to install libdvdcss by running from a console: sudo /usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh. In some countries it is illegal to install the decryption software without permission from the video copyright holder."? I followed the instructions, but that doesn't work either.
[02:02] <jaydee> whats a good program for vpn client in linux?
[02:05] <vilhelm> anyone in here that has experience with GPROFTPD?
[02:06] <GuidMorrow> I have a problem playing YouTube video in Firefox under Kubuntu 8.04 -- video is running virtually ~1 fps
[02:07] <kunim> jaydee: kvpnc and network manager as guis. if you want to setup something for yourself then openvpn.
 That has to be a flash issue
[02:07] <jaydee> thanks
[02:08] <GuidMorrow> unfortunately Adobe's flash player plugin was just oveerridden by mplayer's plugins
[02:08] <GuidMorrow> how do I reset this
 you can reinstall the adobe plugin
[02:09] <GuidMorrow> if I can remember the package's name ... I remember trying to install it this morning...
[02:10] <vilhelm> >GuidMorrow> did u install it via the Adept Manager?
[02:11] <td-work> what's a good user submitted screenshot gallery for 8.04?  having trouble finding one...
[02:11] <GuidMorrow> believe it or not, I ran apt-get for it
[02:15] <GuidMorrow> is it the same command for running the adept manager?
[02:15] <SmokeEater85911> hey quick question
[02:15] <SmokeEater85911> whats the installation path for firefox?
[02:15] <GuidMorrow> for which version are you running?
[02:15] <smatt454> smoke: for the binary?
[02:16] <SmokeEater85911> well im trying to install the flash player 9 now
[02:16] <SmokeEater85911> and it says enter a valid installation path
[02:16] <GuidMorrow> I installed mine throught the adept manager
[02:16] <smatt454> =/
[02:16] <smatt454> are you running the linux setup?
[02:16] <SmokeEater85911> yeah
[02:16] <GuidMorrow> I would assume that was a bad move, right?
[02:16] <SmokeEater85911> through the console
[02:16] <smatt454> =/
[02:17] <SmokeEater85911> what
[02:17] <smatt454> well
[02:17] <smatt454> linux doesnt intstall programs like windows
[02:17] <smatt454> it's not like "C:\program files\firefox"
[02:18] <smatt454> do a "locate firefox" and you'll see what i'm talking about
[02:18] <SmokeEater85911> well theres a folder in usr/lib
[02:18] <SmokeEater85911> 2 actually mozilla and mozilla-firefox
[02:18] <GuidMorrow> if I download the flash player from adobe's website, and install it, where would it go?
[02:18] <SmokeEater85911> im just trying to figure out where to put this file
[02:19] <smatt454> one sec
[02:19] <SmokeEater85911> and in those folders are plugin folders
[02:20] <SmokeEater85911> so Im assuming if I delete the flash plugin I can get rid of flashplayer 10
[02:20] <smatt454> wow
[02:20] <SmokeEater85911> what
[02:20] <smatt454> adobe changed their method of installing flash for linux =/
[02:20] <smatt454> i dont like that
[02:20] <smatt454> that's what confused me
[02:20] <smatt454> i dont think it matters where u install flash
[02:21] <smatt454> cuz it should link to firefox
[02:21] <SmokeEater85911> well i tried to put a location in and it says warning please enter a valid installation path
[02:21] <smatt454> hmm =/

[02:23] <GuidMorrow> you know, I have Wine on this distro, you'd think they'd let me run the Windows version of Firefox???
[02:23] <smatt454> u can
[02:23] <smatt454> but
[02:23] <smatt454> theres really no point =/
 how is it going? any progress?
[02:24] <SmokeEater85911> one sec
[02:24] <SmokeEater85911> brb
[02:28] <sparr> why doesn't kubuntu ship with kcalc?
[02:28] <sparr> [installed]
[02:28] <smatt454> it ships with another calculator
[02:28] <smatt454> it's all about preference
[02:29] <sparr> im aware of that.  the other calculator is deficient, and not remotely similar to the primary calculator of any other DE/distro/OS
[02:30] <td-work> anyone using virtualbox with winxp on a kubuntu host?
[02:30] <smatt454> how is it deficient?
[02:30] <sparr> well, to put the point on the reason *I* had to install kcalc...  it apparently can't take hex input
[02:30] <sparr> without a 0x
[02:31] <smatt454> well not everyone needs that
[02:31] <sparr> not everyone needs [insert feature here]
[02:31] <GuidMorrow> ack! my window decorations crashed, what do I do
[02:31] <smatt454> the whole point is not to package the OS with software not EVERYONE will need
[02:31] <sparr> there should be compelling reasons for abandoning features that every other major platform provides
[02:32] <smatt454> it's just like....why not all computers come with high powered graphics drivers
[02:32] <smatt454> they offer it easily...but not everyone needs them
[02:32] <SmokeEater85911> OMFG
[02:32] <smatt454> what smoke?
[02:32] <SmokeEater85911> okay so i cant get the flashplayer to install now
[02:32] <sparr> not everyone needs the features that speedcrunch has that kcalc doesnt.  your argument is moot.
[02:32] <SmokeEater85911> im telling it what folder mozilla is in, and its not doing anything
[02:33] <smatt454> i thought u meant speedcrunch does not allow hex impit =/
[02:33] <smatt454> imput*
[02:33] <sparr> you were correct
[02:33] <SmokeEater85911> http://www.howtoforge.com/native_linux_flash_player9_in_ubuntu
 not everyone needs the features that speedcrunch has that kcalc doesnt.  your argument is moot.
[02:33] <smatt454> it's the other way arround
[02:33] <SmokeEater85911> down at the bottom where it says to enter the installation path of mozilla
[02:34] <SmokeEater85911> i did that and its not working
[02:34] <sparr> speedcrunch has features that kcalc does not.  kcalc has featues that speedcrunch does not.  the "not everyone needs..." argument is moot, it applies equally in both directions.
[02:34] <SmokeEater85911> one sec
[02:35] <smatt454> the path is /usr/lib/mozilla
[02:35] <SmokeEater85911> negative
[02:35] <SmokeEater85911> its /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1
[02:35] <SmokeEater85911> for me anyway 8shrug*
[02:35] <SmokeEater85911> brb gotta restart FF
[02:35] <smatt454> sparr....it's a fucking calculator
[02:36] <smatt454> i'm sure kubuntu has other, more pressing issues...
[02:36] <smatt454> is that a better argument?
[02:36] <sparr> yes, but why is it THAT fucking calculator, instead of the one that comes with KDE?  kubuntu rarely departs from kde-builtin apps
[02:36] <sparr> someone had to actually do work to make the switch
[02:36] <SmokeEater85911> k so I managed to override the flash player 10
[02:36] <SmokeEater85911> its back down to 9
[02:37] <SmokeEater85911> now to test if its going to crash on a flash site again or not
[02:37] <SmokeEater85911> any other special flash lib's i should have before I do this?
[02:38] <smatt454> what was kernel banned for?
[02:38] <sparr> ask ircops, he was banned from the server/network, not from the channel
[02:39] <steven_> you could just make your own distro with your own favorite apps and submit it to the community and wait for them to ask you why you didn't include this or that alternative program
[02:39] <SmokeEater85911> I assume since nobody said anything its a no
[02:40] <smatt454> not that i know of
[02:40] <sparr> steven_: you misunderstand.  this is not a matter of not including a particular program.  kcalc is part of kde.  someone made the decision and effort to un-include kcalc in favor of speedcrunch, a fair bit more involved than just "not including" it.
[02:42] <steven_> ah, i see
[02:44] <vilhelm> anyone know if Kubuntu runs much faster with 2gb ram than 512?
[02:44] <steven_> then i agree that its odd they didn't include it, given that its standard with kde
[02:45] <smatt454> didnt kubuntu used to do that with kwrite?
[02:45] <SmokeEater85911> IT STILL DOES IT!!! >.<!!
[02:45] <SmokeEater85911> grr
[02:45] <smatt454> really?
[02:45] <smatt454> ok
[02:45] <smatt454> that pisses me off
[02:45] <smatt454> cuz sometimes i want a lighter text editor than kate
[02:45] <smatt454> i love kate for coding
[02:46] <steven_> vilhelm: i was running 512 and put another gb stick in when i started running kde 4.1 and it runs much smoother now
[02:46] <smatt454> but not for editing configuration files
[02:46] <SmokeEater85911> I took a picture with my phone of what exactly the screen does.. if you wanna see it
 ok steven thx :) then i will buy some more ram  tomorrow :)
[02:46] <smatt454> o
[02:47] <smatt454> i thought it was "steven" saying "it still does" to my kwrite question
[02:47] <smatt454> lmao
[02:47] <smatt454> sure Smoke
[02:47] <smatt454> give me the link to ur picture
[02:47] <SmokeEater85911> one sec Im texting it to my email
 you still run KDE 4.1?
[02:48] <steven_> yeah i like it so far. there's definitely a noticeable speed difference from 3.5 to 4.1  but since sticking in the extra ram ive been doing fine
[02:48] <SmokeEater85911> smatt454 whats your email? you can PM me if you need
[02:50] <SmokeEater85911> sent
[02:50] <smatt454> kk
[02:50] <SmokeEater85911> thats what it does when I open a page that has flash on it
[02:52] <smatt454> smoke
[02:52] <ahmos> hi, ktranslator crashes at start up so i how i can reconfigure it?
[02:52] <smatt454> hardware specs
[02:52] <SmokeEater85911> mine?
[02:53] <brian_> i just switched to kde 4.1 and can't find a hibernate button in the shut down menu...how can i get it?
[02:53] <smatt454> yes smoke
[02:53] <phil_> i'm trying to get the wireless working on my acer aspire one laptop and i'm following the guide but when i try to do 'sudo echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules    it says permission denied...what am i doing wrong?
[02:54] <SmokeEater85911> um 2GB RAM, nVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT 512mb, Dual Core Centrino Processor 2GHz
[02:54] <smatt454> hmmmm
[02:54] <smatt454> u have ur nvidia drivers?
[02:55] <SmokeEater85911> yeah I was messing with that last night and im pretty sure Its running on it now
[02:55] <smatt454> hmmmmmm =/
[02:55] <smatt454> i'm not sure
[02:56] <SmokeEater85911> in the hareware drivers manager it says nvidia accelerated graphics driver (latest cards) in use and enabled
[02:56] <SmokeEater85911> anybody else have or had problems with flash crashing kubuntu?
[02:57] <Denise> all is crashing here now
[02:58] <SmokeEater85911> you should have a look at this pic and let me know if this is what yours does haha
[02:58] <steven_> brian: im not sure but perhaps you could assing it to a hotkey?
[02:58] <Denise> I feel as if someone was laughing at me
[02:59] <phil_> i'm trying to get the wireless working on my acer aspire one laptop and i'm following the guide but when i try to do 'sudo echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules    it says permission denied...what am i doing wrong?  i'm typing it as sudo and it still isn't allowing me to
[03:00] <SmokeEater85911> no i was serious
[03:01] <steven_> phil have you tried to sudo another command to verify the pw you enterd is correct? if so then it may then cache the sudo for your session and allow you to try it again. if not check permissions
[03:01] <SmokeEater85911> when my system crashes the screen goes crazy, I wonder if anybody elses does the same thing
[03:02] <Denise> mine frozes
[03:02] <Denise> freeze
[03:02] <Denise> frost
[03:02] <Denise> frosten
[03:02] <Denise> fresbee
[03:02] <SmokeEater85911> http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Baghira+SuSE+9.x+RPM?content=8953 hey whats that thing with the icons across the bottom?

[03:04] <SmokeEater85911> what
[03:04] <smatt454> wait
[03:04] <smatt454> 1 sec
[03:05] <shyt> has anyone in here had any issues lately with nvidia cards and low resolutions? I've had the problem on both (k)ubuntu and debian lenny (etch) didn't have the problem... anyone know if it might be an issue with a particular version of xorg maybe?
[03:05] <SmokeEater85911> make sure you have the right driver?
[03:05] <Denise> oh smoke u seem to know more suddenly
[03:06] <shyt> it actually gets worse if you use the proprietary nvidia driver... it goes from max 800x600 to 640x480
[03:06] <smatt454> smoke eater...the "think with icons accross the bottom" is  called a dock
[03:06] <SmokeEater85911> i what? lol
[03:06] <Denise> doc
[03:06] <Denise> dock
[03:06] <Denise> and what about a lock
[03:06] <SmokeEater85911> it looks like ugh whats it called I used to have it on windows

[03:07] <smatt454> yes
[03:07] <SmokeEater85911> spacedock.. somethign along those lines
[03:07] <smatt454> it's a type of dock
[03:07] <smatt454> there are various docks in linux
[03:07] <smatt454> just google linux docks
[03:07] <SmokeEater85911> im more concerned about accessing a website with flash
[03:08] <SmokeEater85911> this is rediculous

[03:17] <Alex135> winrid: what do you need?
[03:17] <Denise> this is not logical
[03:20] <Denise> how can opera tells me a plugin is installed with the exact path and apt-get tell me it is not here

[03:36] <Denise> i m going to bed
[03:38] <Denise> I think I wont find the solution tonight
[03:44] <kingjere> is there a way to make "aptitude search" from the CLI search the description of a package as well as the package name?
[03:45] <ahmos> hi i need a program to append 2 video files into one file?
[03:46] <SmokeEater85911> k back
[03:47] <genii> ahmos: Are they avi?
[03:48] <SmokeEater85911> hey Alex135 have more spare time?
[03:48] <ives042> museekd is segfaulting in hardy. anyone using museekd/museeq?
[03:48] <ahmos> genii: yes
[03:49] <genii> ahmos: Then avidemux-qt
[03:49] <ahmos> is there other programmes for the other video formats
[03:50] <kingjere> genii: I use kino all the time. It can import alot of different types of files.
[03:51] <genii> Yes, kino is all right. However I do not like that it needs to deal mainly with DV
[03:51] <genii> kingjere: Incidentally, the apt-cache search      also searches descriptions
[03:52] <ahmos> i need another help! ineed a good translator and i hope to be offline one
[03:52] <kingjere> genii: sure, thats what it is intended for, but if it will import your file type joining the two is too easy.
[03:52] <kingjere> genii: Oh and thanks for the apt-cache search tip:)
[03:52] <SmokeEater85911> if anybody has a sec, think we can tackle this flash bug issue again?
[03:54] <ahmos>  i need another help! ineed a good translator and i hope to be offline one plz
[03:55] <smatt454> it really has me puzzle smoke
[03:55] <smatt454> puzzled*
[03:55] <BluesKaj> !flash
[03:56] <smatt454> !wine
[03:56] <smatt454> !AppDB
[03:57] <SmokeEater85911> yeah ditto
[03:57] <SmokeEater85911> Im thinking about just disabling the flashplayer until I get it figured out
[03:58] <smatt454> good idea
[03:58] <smatt454> did u check
[03:58] <smatt454> !flash
[03:58] <SmokeEater85911> ive tried everything man nobody knows
[03:59] <smatt454> hmmmm
[03:59] <smatt454> try the kubuntu/ubuntu forums
[03:59] <smatt454> dont know anything else
[04:00] <SmokeEater85911> im gonna have to
[04:00] <SmokeEater85911> Im just so tired of posting there lol
[04:00] <smatt454> lol
[04:02] <SmokeEater85911> hey how do you shrink the size of your icons on the desktop?
[04:04] <nick__> h
[04:04] <SmokeEater85911> i figure Ill take debugging a break for a while, and work on the eye candy
[04:05] <SmokeEater85911> hmm
[04:08] <brian_> i can't find a hibernate button on kde 4.1...could someone please help me out?
[04:10] <SmokeEater85911> k i just installed a dock.. where did it go lol
[04:11] <doop> has anyone had any luck with mod_mono for apache?
[04:11] <portal> hi room
[04:17] <SmokeEater85911_> hmm i just thought of something...
[04:17] <SmokeEater85911_> maybe this whole flash issue isnt flash/firefox at all
[04:18] <SmokeEater85911_> perhaps its my video card (bad driver)
[04:18] <flaccid> SmokeEater85911_: whats it doing?
[04:19] <SmokeEater85911> and i realized this because whenever I go into advanced desktop settings to play with compiz-fusion settings, it does the same thing
[04:19] <Ceasar_Clown> my wifi id shit
[04:19] <Ceasar_Clown> is
[04:19] <flaccid> SmokeEater85911: which is?
[04:19] <flaccid> !language | Ceasar_Clown
[04:20] <SmokeEater85911> I wish you were here a couple hours ago I could explain all what Ive been trying to fix all day haha
[04:20] <Ceasar_Clown> cant even cuss
[04:20] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911: i was here ;)
[04:20] <SmokeEater85911> okay so I am running firefox 3, and I have the flash 9 plugin and all the libs I need
[04:21] <SmokeEater85911> whenever I go to ANY site that runs flash, my system locks up, and the screen goes all crazy the only way out is restart
[04:21] <Ceasar_Clown> ok help me whit my lan
[04:21] <SmokeEater85911> and when playing with the compiz settings I just noticed it does the same thing
[04:21] <SmokeEater85911> i took a pic I can email it to you if you wanna see what the screen is doing
[04:21] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911: disable compiz and try FF + Flash w/o it
[04:21] <flaccid> SmokeEater85911: well the compiz settings is experimental and so if you have this problem with it then maybe not use compiz effects
[04:21] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911: you can always just post a screenshot on any file hosting site
[04:21] <flaccid> SmokeEater85911: put it up on a photo bin site or something
[04:21] <SmokeEater85911> well Im wondering if its my video card or something
[04:22] <Ceasar_Clown> how???
[04:22] <flaccid> what video card and driver is it
[04:22] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911: what is your video card???????
[04:22] <SmokeEater85911> i would upload it but all the photosites use flash.. = crash
[04:22] <SmokeEater85911> nVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT
[04:23] <flaccid> http://imageshack.us/ this one doesn't use flash i don't think
[04:23] <flaccid> and the driver?
[04:23] <SmokeEater85911> if there is so much as a flash ad, crash
[04:23] <SmokeEater85911> im going to uninstall compiz, and reboot FF, and try it again
[04:23] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911: and Konqueror does the same thing?
[04:23] <Ceasar_Clown> what is wrong whit flash?
[04:24] <Ceasar_Clown> not ubuntu
[04:24] <SmokeEater85911> i dont have a flash plugin for konqueror
[04:24] <Ceasar_Clown> but the god dam wireless WILL NOT WORK
[04:25] <flaccid> you can also look at logs and run compiz --replace manually to see the output when the behaviour occurs
[04:25] <flaccid> !wireless | Ceasar_Clown
[04:25] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911: sure you do - if its installed in your .mozilla directory, Konqueror searches and finds the plugin
[04:25] <SmokeEater85911> k one sec
[04:26] <ign0ramus> ceasar_clown: please use PG language.
[04:26] <Ceasar_Clown> thx
[04:27] <Ceasar_Clown> ok ok
[04:27] <flaccid> Ceasar_Clown: also explain at least the behaviour. we can't help with 'doesn't work' reports
[04:27] <SmokeEater85911> how do I get it to search for the plugin?
[04:27] <SmokeEater85911> anything flash right now doesnt show up
[04:28] <flaccid> SmokeEater85911: get what to search for what plugin?
[04:28] <Ceasar_Clown> but i got it working 4 a while then i REboot no more
[04:28] <Ceasar_Clown> work
[04:28] <ign0ramus> SmokeEater85911:  in Settings > Configure Konqueror
[04:28] <SmokeEater85911> konqueror
[04:28] <Ceasar_Clown> sorry people im just tired
[04:28] <ign0ramus> Settings > Configure Konqueror > Plugins
[04:29] <flaccid> if you installed the flash plugin nonfree system wide it won't be in ~/.mozilla
[04:29] <SmokeEater85911> well I have company coming over, ill have to hit you guys up for more help later
[04:29] <SmokeEater85911> thanks
[04:29] <ign0ramus> flaccid: he installed Flash from the Adobe web site.
[04:30] <ign0ramus> I only know because i was here a few hours ago.  Before the bar. When I could actually type properly.
[04:30] <flaccid> oh where does that thing install it, i don't think its ~/.mozilla either
[04:30] <flaccid> hehe
[04:30] <ign0ramus> flaccid: it most definitely installs in ~/.mozilla
[04:31] <ign0ramus> "libflashplayer.so"
[04:31] <ign0ramus> ^ that took 45 seconds to type
[04:31] <ign0ramus> gotta go.  Family Guy is on.
[04:31] <ign0ramus> Goodnight all
[04:33] <flaccid> the one from adobe's website doesn't do that either
[04:35] <flaccid> its actually  /usr/lib/mozilla by default
[04:53] <pyro17> fucking spam bots
[04:54] <pyro17> on a positive not, i got synergy working
[04:56] <jorge_> hi there... someone know how to fix the card reader of and XPS M1210???
[04:57] <flaccid> !language | pyro17
[04:58] <jorge_> some one with and dell XPS computer??
[04:58] <flaccid> jorge_: what did google say?
[04:58] <jorge_> nothing, it just refer that the problem exist, but no one said how to fix it
[04:58] <flaccid> what is the problem? and some problems are not fixable you know
[04:59] <draik> How do I send messages to another computer on my own home network?
[04:59] <jorge_> the card reader is not been  recognize by my the system
[04:59] <jorge_> by the system*
[05:00] <flaccid> draik: use IM
[05:00] <draik> flaccid: I mean as in a popup message box
[05:00] <flaccid> draik: thats windows. you can checkout the winpopup protocol which is supported in kopete
[05:01] <flaccid> jorge_: from the looks of it, its not support/doesn't work
[05:01] <draik> flaccid: Not all running kopete
[05:01] <draik> Just one of them runs kopete
[05:01] <jorge_> well, thanks a lot flaccid
[05:01] <flaccid> draik: they don't have to
[05:01] <flaccid> jorge_: http://www.mail-archive.com/laptop-testing-team@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00918.html
[05:01] <pyro17> has anyone ever used synergy between a kubuntu and windows machine
[05:02] <flaccid> jorge_: as you can see to get the card reader to work, you probably have to re-compile the kernel
[05:02] <jorge_> wow, thats gona be a problem, but I will try
[05:02] <draik> flaccid: How would I go about using that feature?
[05:02] <jorge_> thanks for your time
[05:02] <flaccid> draik: if you enable the protocol on windows clients they can use net send or a client like quickmessenger
[05:03] <draik> All computers are Hardy
[05:03] <flaccid> then use kopete, add account WinPopup
[05:04] <flaccid> there may be some more requirements draik but i can't remember. google should advise
[05:05] <draik> flaccid: All are Hardy and I just wanted a way to send a message via CLI
[05:05] <mrksbrd> anyone have builtin webcams here? & were u able to get it working??
[05:06] <flaccid> draik: there is a command but i can't remember what it is
[05:06] <flaccid> !u | mrksbrd
[05:07] <flaccid> webcams totally depend on the make/model
[05:07] <draik> flaccid: I'm not sure what to Google. I'm currently doing a search for "kubuntu send message"

[06:08] <SmokeEater85911> yay back again
[06:27] <chipbuddy> i had a 7.10 alternate install cd, and i saw there was an option to install a command line system. I now have an 8.04 alternate install cd, but i don't see a similar option. i can just install ubuntu. how do i just install the command line?
[06:29] <flaccid> what do you mean by command line? every install method installs the 'command line'
[06:29] <SmokeEater85911> grar.. i am this close to giving up on kubuntu
[06:29] <chipbuddy> flaccid but i only want the command line, no gui
[06:30] <flaccid> chipbuddy: kubuntu is a desktop OS, the K is for KDE. you most likely want minimal or server install
[06:30] <flaccid> !minimal | chipbuddy
[06:30] <SmokeEater85911> i think im gonna wipe kubuntu and start all over
[06:31] <chipbuddy> flaccid: i have the alternate cd, but it seemed like it was installing the entire OS
[06:31] <josh__> i am having audio issues....
[06:32] <josh__> i need to make my USB Headset the default audio thing...
[06:32] <josh__> i disabled my on board sound card...
[06:32] <josh__> from the bios
[06:32] <flaccid> chipbuddy: correct, thats what the alternate cd is for
[06:33] <chipbuddy> flaccid: i don't want the entire OS. i just want a command line, with some programming tools
[06:34] <flaccid> chipbuddy: [15:30] <flaccid> chipbuddy: kubuntu is a desktop OS, the K is for KDE. you most likely want minimal or server install
[06:34] <josh__> help :/
[06:35] <josh__> i need to make my USB Audio the default audio source
[06:35] <josh__> in
[06:35] <josh__> Kubunut
[06:35] <flaccid> !enter | josh__
[06:35] <flaccid> no need to repeat either
[06:35] <josh__> ^^, nobody has said anything yet so i just figured
[06:35] <SmokeEater85911> if somebody is going to help you, they will
[06:36] <josh__> nobody is going to help me then?
[06:36] <SmokeEater85911> not if you annoy with repeating and spamming the room :)
[06:36] <flaccid> josh__: doesn't look like it
[06:36] <SmokeEater85911> Netiquette
[06:36] <flaccid> try googling alsa default soundcard
[06:37] <josh__> bahh, im just being annoying because... this is like the third time ive came in here and nomatter can fix my problem :/
[06:37] <josh__> i tried installing alsa but it didn't even run...
[06:37] <josh__> i used the package manager in Kubuntu to install it.
[06:37] <flaccid> josh__: this is free support. there is no obligation for someone to help you
[06:38]  * mr---t- thinks flaccid ciuld resist helping
[06:38] <josh__> well, you guys are the pro's
[06:38] <josh__> paid or not paid you guys got skillz
[06:39] <B_Raven> josh, just got here, what kind of problem are you having?
[06:39] <josh__> im trying to get my USB Audio to work
[06:40] <B_Raven> installed alsa and run "alsaconf" ?
[06:40] <josh__> i have USB Headset, and i want to make it the default source of audio in Kubuntu
[06:41] <flaccid> so much on google
[06:41] <josh__> when i try to run alsa it gives me this error      alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such file or directory
[06:42] <B_Raven> josh__, and you've run alsaconf to setup the usb headset?
[06:42] <josh__> umm
[06:42] <josh__> ill try that
[06:43] <josh__> in the shell or w/e terminal thing i typed that in
[06:43] <josh__> and i got           bash: alsaconf: command not found
[06:43] <B_Raven> Any terminal, and think you need to sudo it. (sudo alsaconf)
[06:43] <flaccid> josh__: 1. try my suggestion and 2. keep your responses on 1 line
[06:44] <josh__> same thing man command not found :(
[06:45] <flaccid> i've never heard of that binary B_Raven
[06:45] <rot> hi I want make my ip
[06:46] <rot> like a server but I don't have static IP
[06:46] <flaccid> rot: System Settings -> Network Settings
[06:46] <rot> anyone can help me to find the solution  for this situation
[06:46] <B_Raven> flaccid, hmmm, could have sworn that was the alsa config utility. Then again, I'm frequenctly confused by the use of *conf *config and whatever. :\
[06:46] <flaccid> there is alsactl which is a cli binary
[06:47] <flaccid> josh__: as per google, the solution could be as simple as http://blog.rowancrane.com/2007/05/02/changing-the-default-sound-card-in-kubuntu ..
[06:47] <rot> where I go frist
[06:47] <flaccid> B_Raven: maybe you mean asoundcounf
[06:47] <flaccid> asoundconf i mean
[06:47] <flaccid> rot: system settings is in the kmenu
[06:48] <rot> yeah
[06:48] <B_Raven> flaccid, nope. Could be one of those differences between debian and ubuntu. (just converted a few days ago)
[06:48] <rot> after
[06:48] <josh__> flaccid, its not that because i disabled my onboard sound card from the bios
[06:49] <flaccid> josh__: well as far as i know if the driver is working, your usb headset should show in the list
[06:49] <josh__> well, i hear my self on my mic
[06:49] <josh__> and music apps some times work but like i cant turn up or down the audio
[06:49] <flaccid> so what is in the list?
[06:49] <josh__> where do i find this list?
[06:50] <flaccid> oh my read the link i gave you and don't assume that its not that because you are here asking for help and don't know..
[06:50] <flaccid> sudo asoundconf list
[06:50] <josh__> okay i see, Audio
[06:50] <josh__> thats all thats in the list nothing else
[06:51] <flaccid> pastebin the whole output, i want to see
[06:52] <testi> I wish to turn off 3 mouse button emulation for all pointer devices
[06:52] <testi> How can I achieve that?
[06:52] <snarkster> !mouse
[06:53] <josh__> http://pastebin.com/m68b335ad
[06:53] <josh__> there it is
[06:53] <flaccid> josh__: take out the usb headphones and see if it says the same thing after 10 seconds
[06:54] <josh__> ight sounds like a plan
[06:55] <josh__> its blank
[06:55] <testi> I added Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" to all Pointer Input Devices, but there is no effect. 3Button Mouse emulation still works
[06:55] <josh__> Audio is gone from the list
[06:56] <B_Raven> testi, xorg.conf settings aren't reloaded until the x-server is rebooted.
[06:56] <josh__> plugged it back in now i have Audio in the list
[06:56] <flaccid> josh__: i assume this is because you disabled your other sound card. if you enable it again in bios and reboot and follow the instructions from the page i pasted i found easily from google, it should work
[06:57] <testi> B_Raven: I executed /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[06:57] <josh__> flaccid, i have USB headsets tho i dont want to use my Sound card
[06:57] <testi> As far as I remember, this also reboots the X-Server
[06:58] <B_Raven> testi, Aye.
[06:58] <flaccid> josh__: then i don't see a problem
[06:58] <testi> Where can I read about Emulate3Buttons Documentation. Which manpage contains documentation about it?
[06:59] <flaccid> testi: probably xorg
[06:59] <flaccid> ie. http://x.org
[06:59] <josh__> flaccid, huh
[06:59] <josh__> flaccid,  but if i hit my vol up key on my keyboard it saids
[06:59] <josh__> it seems kmix is not running
[07:00] <josh__> i like wanna make that work
[07:00] <flaccid> josh__: then goto kmenu and run command and put in kmix. you will get the speaker icon in system tray
[07:00] <testi> flaccid: neither xorg nor xorg.conf manpage documentation about it
[07:00] <testi> *contain
[07:00] <flaccid> if the mixer is not sufficient then its a limitation of the driver
[07:01] <flaccid> testi: maybe http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/mouse.4.html . goto #xorg for more help
[07:02] <josh__> flaccid, kmix loads i can change my vol from in there... just wish i could change my vol from my keyboard
[07:03] <snarkster> josh__: hi are you using a laptop
[07:03] <josh__> nope
[07:03] <flaccid> there probably is a way with one of the key daemons
[07:03] <josh__> Q6600 9800 GTX 2Gb ram
[07:03] <flaccid> josh__: what keyboard is it?
[07:03] <josh__> Satiek Cyborg
[07:03] <snarkster> flaccid would kmilo assist in that?
[07:03] <flaccid> hotkeys or kmilo might be able to but you would have to research i guess
[07:03] <josh__> okay, this isn't that bad of a problem i guess...
[07:04] <josh__> but, i need to get my Mic Working with RecordMyDesktop
[07:04] <snarkster> yah its hotkeys I think for desktop computer
[07:04] <flaccid> josh__: thing is i just googled that keyboard + ubuntu and you got lots of info
[07:05] <josh__> flaccid, ight but like umm recordmydesktop asks me what device i wanna use for my Mic and i dont know what to enter in there....
[07:05] <flaccid> but it still could be a bug in the software that handles the action
[07:05] <josh__> flaccid, i can hear my self on my mic right now but i dont know exactly what the device in Linux for my Mic is called :/
[07:05] <josh__> idk
[07:05] <flaccid> josh__: never used it. dont' ask me, ask the channel..
[07:05] <josh__> this a better question to ask then
[07:06] <snarkster> yah be better to ask google that question as well i think
[07:06] <josh__> how do i find out the name of my Mic?
[07:06] <josh__> the device name for my mic i mean
[07:08] <josh__> like how do find out the device name of my mic (which is part of my USB Headset) or basially what linux is saying my device name is for that component
[07:08] <snarkster> josh__: ask that question to google..
[07:08] <snarkster> Ive never been able to get a mic working in linux, never thought it was important
[07:09] <snarkster> !mic
[07:09] <snarkster> !microphone
[07:09] <josh__> i make tutorials for maya and blender online tho lol
[07:09] <snarkster> !sound
[07:09] <josh__> i wanted to use linux to create blender video tutorials.. just because of the style factor
[07:10] <snarkster> yup
[07:10] <josh__> and because Linux is like fast... and the .oggs are really small
[07:10] <snarkster> i know my laptop has a built in mic, but i cant seem to get it to work as I just had shoulder surgers and wanted to use voice commads to assist me
[07:11] <snarkster> josh__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AudioCapture
[07:11] <josh__> i might just ditch my USB Headset....
[07:12] <rot> man how to do
[07:12] <rot> my Ip
[07:15] <rot> anyone tell if this ip working
[07:15] <rot> 169.254.8.65
[07:17] <pyarra> rot: that's a local IP address, it won't be visible on the internet: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3330.html
[07:18] <pyarra> rot: what are you trying to achieve?
[07:18] <josh__> well, im out thanks for the effert guys
[07:19] <josh__> gonna load up windows XP, for i am defeated but will ... but im gonna buy another expensive headset...
[07:19] <snarkster> later josh__
[07:19] <snarkster> good luck to you then.
[07:19] <rot> ok than how to make ip visible
[07:20] <rot> on the internet
[07:20] <josh__> you guys are freaken hardcore helping people at late hours like this...
[07:20] <snarkster> you needed help, i needed help..
[07:20] <snarkster> thats why we are here.
[07:21] <pyarra> rot: what are you trying to do?
[07:21] <rot> I want to see my ip form internet
[07:21] <rot> and brosswer the file from another computer
[07:22] <R1cochet> i have kubuntu and was wondering if i could get some help with acidrip
[07:22] <pyarra> rot: ok, and how are you connected to the internet? Through ADSL modem? Dial-up?
[07:23] <rot> ASL
[07:23] <rot> ADSL MODEm
[07:23] <pyarra> rot: it looks like you're connected to the internet at IP address 72.136.198.46
[07:23] <rot> yeah
[07:23] <pyarra> however, that's probably your ADSL modem, not your computer
[07:23] <rot> Rogers
[07:24] <pyarra> so I see... whatever Rogers is
[07:24] <rot> is Dynamic IP only
[07:25] <pyarra> ok, so you already have an IP address, assigned by your ISP, and that's your IP address
[07:25] <rot> how to assinged
[07:25] <pyarra> rot: you don't, your ISP does
[07:25] <rot> I have to call them
[07:26] <pyarra> rot: I doubt that will do you any good
[07:26] <pyarra> let me ask this: what you're trying to do is have a way to connect to your computer from other computers on the internet, right?
[07:26] <rot> ok u have another way better than
[07:26] <rot> Sites
[07:26] <rot> and down load stuff
[07:27] <rot> some program
[07:27] <pyarra> rot: does your ISP provide you with a free web hosting space?
[07:27] <pyarra> like, on one of their servers?
[07:27] <rot> no
[07:29] <pyarra> ok, well look, you can do this: use a dynamic DNS service (e.g. no-ip.org or dyndns.org) so that each time you get a new IP address, your ADSL modem registers your IP address, and people onthe internet can connect to rotcomputer.no-ip.org
[07:29] <Makuseru> Hi, im having some problems with KRDC, every time i click connect, it fails at "
[07:29] <Makuseru> Hi, im having some problems with KRDC, every time i click connect, it fails at "establishing connection" what would cause this?
[07:29] <rot> ok
[07:29] <pyarra> and on your ADSL modem, usually it's called "virtual server", point an external port at the port on your computer
[07:29] <rot> ok
[07:30] <rot> linsys
[07:30] <pyarra> but... and please don;t take this the wrong way - there are security implications in doing this, and I think I'm safe in saying that networking on Ubuntu might not be your strength?
[07:30] <rot> ok
[07:30] <rot> i will try
[07:31] <rot> but how long it tak
[07:31] <snarkster> Makuseru: what are you trying to connect to?
[07:31] <rot> register 48 hr
[07:31] <Makuseru> snarkster: another computer
[07:31] <freesoft> Hola a todss :D
[07:31] <pyarra> rot: I suggest you use one of the file-sharing sites instead
[07:31] <snarkster> are they running vnc or rdp?
[07:31] <pyarra> for example: http://www.yousendit.com/
[07:32] <Makuseru> snarkster: they have both krfb and krdc open
[07:32] <pyarra> rot: did you read what said about security?
[07:32] <rot> yeah
[07:32] <snarkster> ok on krfb they send you an email giving you an invitation to control there computer.
[07:32] <pyarra> ok, and you're sure you're comfortable with opening your computer to the entire internet?
[07:32] <snarkster> but they are coming in over the internet... rdp might be being blicked by a router somewhere
[07:32] <Makuseru> it tells you the host and pass though, and i just told him that, instead of emailing it
[07:33] <rot> yeah
[07:33] <rot> is just from me and my friends
[07:33] <pyarra> rot: no, if you have an IP address on the internet, *anyone8 can access it
[07:33] <snarkster> hmm
[07:33] <rot> yeah I know but I have to give to people
[07:33] <snarkster> good luck
[07:34] <pyarra> no rot, you do not have to give it to people
[07:34] <pyarra> there are people actively scanning all available IP addresses to see what's there
[07:35] <pyarra> hell, I can see that your IP address is 72.136.198.46, and I'm not looking especially hard
[07:35] <rot> uh
[07:35] <rot> i knoa
[07:35] <rot> cuz some sites alot to see my IP
[07:36]  * BasicXP is interested in Ubuntu Artwork, but nobody responses in #ubuntu-artwork.
[07:37] <pyarra> rot: I've had a computer broken into by connecting it to the internet. If you don;t know what you're doing, it won;t take long
[07:37] <rot> why cuz of pressure
[07:37] <rot> or what tell me
[07:38] <rot> better to buy server computer
[07:38] <rot> with 2 U or 1 U
[07:39] <pyarra> rot: I don't quite understand what you're asking. The computer's shape is not important, knowing how to turn off services, set up the firewall, suchlike, that's important
[07:39] <pyarra> actually, reading your response, I wonder if you're pulling my leg just a little
[07:41] <Makuseru> does desktop sharing (krdc&krfb) work with someone that is on a live cd?
[07:41] <rot> yeah
[07:41] <rot> or host the server form data center cost a lot of money
[07:41] <Makuseru> im on a real install, the other guy is on a live cd, he can connect to my machine, but i cannot to his
[07:41] <rot> i had server with Layeredtech.com
[07:42] <rot> but I cancel
[07:42] <ubuntu_> hey anyone awake?
[07:42] <snarkster> no
[07:42] <rot> I can't afford the paying money very month
[07:43] <ubuntu_> i had a question
[07:43] <ubuntu_> i'm on ubuntu right now
[07:43] <ubuntu_> but i wanted to use kubuntu
[07:43] <BasicXP> I have a question. What are the differences between:1) I install Ubuntu, then kubuntu-desktop from repositories. 2)
[07:43] <ubuntu_> in ubuntu my wireless internet automatically works
[07:43] <BasicXP> 2)I just install Kubuntu
[07:43] <ubuntu_> but in kubuntu it doesn't show up at all
[07:43] <ubuntu_> and thats my only internet connection
[07:44] <BasicXP> Please help. Thank you in advance,
[07:44] <ubuntu_> i'm trying to figure out how to get it to show up
[07:45]  * BasicXP still waiting for response!!
[07:45] <ubuntu_> any ideas?
[07:45] <pyarra> rot: I'm not sure if you're being serious or not. In case you are serious: I strongly suggest you host your files somewhere other than on your home computer
[07:45] <rot> l
[07:45] <rot> k
[07:46] <ubuntu_> so anyone have any idea how i can get my wireless to show up in kubuntu?
[07:46] <ubuntu_> i want to use that instead of ubuntu
[07:48] <ubuntu_> and doing the kubuntu install in ubuntu doesn't give desireable results
[07:49] <rot> http://72.136.198.46/
[07:50] <rot> is working or no
[07:50] <BasicXP> that site http://72.136.198.46/ is not working, as it seems...
[07:51] <rot> is working with me
[07:51] <rot> index_html
[07:51] <BasicXP> rot:explain me, please, again, what are you trying to perform?
[07:51] <rot> assign IP
[07:52] <BasicXP> rot: there is no response from your site
[07:53] <BasicXP> rot: You want to assign an IP to your site, which is hosted locally on your PC. Am I right?
[07:53] <rot> yeaj
[07:53] <ubuntu_> who knows how to get my wireless working in kubuntu?
[07:53] <ubuntu_> it works perfectly out of the box in ubuntu
[07:54] <ubuntu_> but not kubuntu
[07:54] <BasicXP> ubuntu_: what exactly is the problem? you can't see the connection, or what?
[07:55] <BasicXP> rot: an IP of your site will be external IP of your machine
[07:55] <rot> yeah
[07:55] <BasicXP> rot: and check if port number (80) differs. sorry for my bad english... :)
[07:56] <rot> from where can i get my port 80
[07:56] <BasicXP> ubuntu_: are you here? please, explain, what EXACTLY happened to yur wireless connection.
[07:56] <BasicXP> rot: look here: how do you connect to your site?
[07:57] <rot> from
[07:57] <rot> 192.168.1.101

[07:59] <rot> ythttp://72.136.198.46/\]

[08:02] <ubuntu_> did they release the kde4 version without wireless support?
[08:04] <R1cochet> i just recently installed kubuntu kde4 from a live cd and i was wondering how to add screensavers
[08:04] <R1cochet> it seems that it didnt come with any

[09:13] <Fyl0n> Guys I'm havin problems with simple DVD-Video9 playback on Kubuntu
[09:13] <Fyl0n> I use for allmost all files Kaffeine.
[09:13] <Fyl0n> But for DVD Video I want to use also kaffeine but it won't play any.
[09:13] <Fyl0n> Kaffeine says I need to install libdvdcss2 wich I allready did
[09:13] <Fyl0n> What ever I try no playback.. who can help?
[09:13] <Fyl0n> I've installed w32codec etc etc
[09:15] <Fyl0n> I've googled my *ss off..
[09:17] <Fyl0n> When I do install the libdvdcss2 package from Kaffeine I get an older version wich gets updated by the media repo..
[09:24] <micky> any ideas why php5-cli might choose not to quit / die / exit after a --help / -v or file exection ?
[09:24] <Douglas_E> Permission denied (publickey).
[09:24] <Douglas_E> when I try ssh douglas@localhost I get
[09:25] <Douglas_E> any clues as how to fix this?
[09:26] <jpds> Douglas_E: Is your public ssh key on the host?
[09:26] <Douglas_E> jpds I did sshadd. IS there something else that I missed?
[09:27] <jpds> Douglas_E: Or better, cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
[09:28] <Douglas_E> jpds looks like a hole in one, returns nothing. How do I fix it?
[09:30] <jpds> Douglas_E: It copies your public key to .ssh/authorized_keys. Where ssh looks for keys on connect.
[09:31] <Douglas_E> jpds yep, newbie, I feel dumb, time for a retest.
[09:33] <Douglas_E> know for a really stupid question, baby just pulled out the usb mouse and when I plugged it back in, it stopped working. How do I reset it without leaving KDE??
[09:36] <Douglas_E> jpds thanks lots! It works now.
[09:36] <dwidmann> Douglas_E: try plugging it in to a different port
[09:37] <dwidmann> Douglas_E: it tends to be picky, you'll want to use the same port.
[09:38] <Douglas_E> dwidmann: tried that, could be my config for x because it is not auto on the ports
[09:39] <Douglas_E> thanks all, time to reboot kde
[09:50] <micky> i'm executing php -v from /bin/bash and it displais php version but then it fails to exit / send that "program termination signal" .. any ideas how i can track the issue ? i've already ruled out php5-cli version and bash since i have the exact versions running in a chroot and they work fine together..
[09:50] <lalim92> Hi all, excuse me
[09:51] <lalim92> I have some problems with my internet connection
[09:51] <lalim92> I want use Konqueror, but i can't
[09:52] <lalim92> he said: An error occurred while loading http://www.google.com: Could not connect to host http://www.google.com/.
[09:52] <micky> lalim92 does your isp require you to use a proxy server ? or do other browsers / applications work ?
[09:52] <lalim92> No
[09:53] <lalim92> But Konversation works fine :)
[09:53] <dwidmann> lalim92: I know this will sound very strange, but if it's not a laptop connected wirelessly, try killing knetworkmanager
[09:54] <lalim92> I have an USB ADSL modem (Huawei SmartAX MT810), and i configure it with ubuADSL
[09:54] <dwidmann> or maybe it's networkmanager in general (in which case removing would be easiest)
[09:54] <lalim92> Ok i will tru
[09:54] <lalim92> try
[10:01] <BigBuddha> heys guys, amarok will not play after i killed the pid, i tried reinstalling it, but it doesnt play
[10:01] <BigBuddha> *it doesnt start
[10:10] <blizzz> is it correct, that konquerer uses /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps/khtml/css/html4.css as default stylesheet?
[10:11] <blizzz> in kde4
[10:12] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: Did you try restarting the PC
[10:12] <BigBuddha> koke_kola: yes
[10:13] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: Perhaps try aptitude remove it then install it again

[10:13] <Assurbanipal> hi everyone , can someone plz tell me which is the best way to handle rar archives in kde4?? i face problems with password protected archives.
[10:15] <BigBuddha> ok, koke_kola, i have uninstalled it via aptitude, now i'm gonna reinstall
[10:16] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: ok
[10:16] <BigBuddha> ok, i just reinstalled via aptitude, lets see what happens
[10:17] <lalim92> I can't resolve the problem. Plz help me !
[10:17] <BigBuddha> it shows the process running, but it isnt
[10:18] <lalim92> I can't access to internet from my web browser. But i can send my messages in this irc chan with Konversation
[10:18] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: Is it perhaps not on another desktop?
[10:19] <BigBuddha> koke_kola: no, it doesnt even show the splash screen
[10:19] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: and its not in your tray?
[10:19] <BigBuddha> no
[10:19] <koke_kola> hmm
[10:20] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: What versions of Kubuntu you using
[10:20] <azmodan> Hi all, how do I check to see if Kubuntu is using DMA on my HDD??  I type "sudo hdparm /dev/hda" in Terminal but it says no file/dir exists!!
[10:20] <BigBuddha> koke_kola: 8.04
[10:22] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: ps auxf | grep amarok

[10:25] <BigBuddha> killall -9 amarokapp
[10:26] <koke_kola> BigBuddha: I dont think its killing it. And its still running Scar Symmetry/Holographic Universe/01 Morphogenesis.mp3 -  Does any one know where the PID files live?
[10:27] <BigBuddha> aaron@HQ-Linux:~$ killall -9 amarokapp

[10:49] <romana> hey peoples:)
[10:49] <tr00ls> wazzup?
[10:56] <Dragonath> what is the module to install to get infrared connections working?
[10:58] <dwidmann> Dragonath: would irda-utils prove useful?
[10:59] <drmarwat> hello
[10:59] <drmarwat> i want to install kde 4.1 as sole desktop environment and want to remove kde 3.5.9, so how do i completly remove kde 3.5.9?
[10:59] <Dragonath> dwidmann: going to try that one, thanks
[10:59] <dwidmann> drmarwat: remove kdelibs4c2a
[10:59] <romana> i installed intrepid;)
[11:00] <dwidmann> romana: congratulations
[11:00] <romana> ahh, its terribly stable
[11:00] <romana> but doesnt 4.1 look STUNNING
[11:01] <drmarwat> dwidmann: if i remove  kdelibs4c2a will i be able to install kde 4.1 later?
[11:01] <dwidmann> drmarwat: you don't have to remove kde3.5.9 to install kde 4.1, they install completely separate
[11:03] <drmarwat> dwidmann: yes i know that, i can have both in boot menu, i have already created my remaster with both kde 3.5.9 and 4.1, this time i just want to have kde 4.1 and no kde 3.5.9 at tall
[11:03] <dwidmann> drmarwat: kdelibs4c2a = kdelibs for kde3
[11:03] <drmarwat> so i want to remove all whatever comes with kde 3.5.9, im aware kde 4.1 is not that stable as kde 3.5.9 but i just want to have kde 4.1 as sole DE
[11:04] <drmarwat> dwidmann,: ok i will reomve this and see how it goes
[11:04] <dwidmann> drmarwat: it should try to take just about everything with it.
[11:04] <dwidmann> drmarwat: even the kitchen sink
[11:05] <drmarwat> hope my system boots laters and i can install kde 4.1 :)
[11:05] <romana> look, i have been using 4.1, not ONE issue. since alpha 2, not one.
[11:06] <Dragonath> heh, you're not everyone, hardware configurations differ
[11:06] <dwidmann> romana: fortune smiles upon you
[11:06] <romana> i know. and i run a tablet ffs.
[11:06] <romana> i have been so disappinted...
[11:06] <romana> ;)
[11:06] <romana> i like poking things
[11:07] <drmarwat> wow it even reomves adept :)
[11:08] <dwidmann> drmarwat: keep in mind some things won't have viable alternatives (ie: knetworkmanager, adept, etc)
[11:09] <drmarwat> i understand the cruciality of it here
[11:09] <romana> theres a viable knetworkmanager on intrepid...is it still 3.5?
[11:10] <dwidmann> romana: what does apt-cache policy have to say?
[11:10] <romana> looking, brb
[11:10] <dwidmann> ::hardy:: 1:0.2.2-1ubuntu2 0
[11:12] <Dragonath> hmm how do I find out the infrared port number?
[11:12] <romana> lloks like 3, yeah
[11:15] <dario> hi everyone i recently re-installed kubuntu 8.04.1 with kde4 but i can't have strigi running. it works correctly in kde-nightly installed via project-neon any idea about how to solve this issue?
[11:17] <Viking667> hello all.
[11:18] <gstaniak> hi
[11:19] <gstaniak> does kubuntu come with the Network Manager in a default installation? i mean, is it possible to manage cable and wi-fi connections just by clicking the icon in the tray?
[11:19] <romana> the version i have is HIGHLY imrpved, i will say that:)
[11:20] <dwidmann> gstaniak: yeah
[11:21] <dwidmann> dario: probably wait for kde 4.1.1 or maybe 4.2.0?
[11:21] <Viking667> INstalled mplayer, when I play a stream, it pops up an error dialog saying it could not open required DirectShow codec "wmvdmod.dll", looked in adept, can't find it. Nothing shows up in "apt-cache search wmv" either.
[11:21] <Viking667> so, what should I be looking at?
[11:22] <Viking667> of course, silly thing goes ahead and plays the stream anyhow, with audio and video... but this error message puzzles me.
[11:22] <dwidmann> Viking667: maybe the w32codecs package will help
[11:22] <Gigant0r> hey dudes
[11:22] <Viking667> yeesh. I looked for that, too... didn't find THAt either.
[11:23] <dwidmann> Viking667: wait, it does play it? Well, then the error can at least be ignored, probably a bug in the program.
[11:23] <Gigant0r> can anybody answer a quick query
[11:23] <Viking667> dwidmann: yeah. and w32codecs isn't in apt-cache either.
[11:23] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: one way to find out
[11:23] <dwidmann> !restricted | Viking667
[11:23] <Gigant0r> is it common to lose data using ntfs-config to mount ntfs drives as writeable ?
[11:24] <Viking667> thank you for that.
[11:24] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: no, but it isn't impossible.
[11:24] <Viking667> Right. Now, here's a weird one... the main video window can be moved, but the gui of mplayer can't be...
[11:24] <Gigant0r> ok, i had some ntfs drives mounted ok, but they were not writeable
[11:24] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: ntfs-3g is pretty stable now, but it's not exactly perfect either
[11:24] <Viking667> none of the buttons actually toggle anything
[11:24] <Gigant0r> so i installed & ran ntfs-config, it said a disk was in use, but one of them worked
[11:24] <dario> dwidmann: thanks for the answer,
[11:25] <Gigant0r> i rebooted, ran it again
[11:25] <Gigant0r> now i cant see any data on those volumes
[11:26] <dwidmann> dario: sorry it wasn't a more positive answer, but if the bug is fixed in the nightlies then it means it will definitely find its way into 4.2, and might be "backported" to 4.1.x
[11:26] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: that's not good.
[11:26] <Gigant0r> you're telling me
[11:26] <Gigant0r> i had half a terrabyte of movies n shit on there
[11:27] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: Umm, if it was ntfs, it was probably formerly a windows partition, so, do you still have windows, and if so can it see the data?
[11:27] <Gigant0r> but im a fair newb, so im not sure if its just me being unfamiliar with linux mounting
[11:27] <dario> dwidmann: can i ask you just another little thing? how often is kde-nightly updated?
[11:28] <Gigant0r> i dont have windows on this box anymore, only on a lappy, and i dont have any external sata cases or anything
[11:28] <Gigant0r> i can find a win box but i thought i'd jump on here first
[11:29] <Gigant0r> in case its just the mounting showing me nothing but the data is there , or something
[11:29] <dwidmann> dario: pretty often, I'm not sure on the exacts though, sometimes it seems like its getting updated every night, sometimes it goes for a week or so without update. I'm pretty sure its dependent on how much time the packager(s) have.
[11:29] <flaccid> hardy has ntfs built into kernel
[11:29] <dario> ok, thanks a lot for your patience
[11:29] <dwidmann> flaccid:  read up, maybe you'll have some ideas
[11:30] <flaccid> Gigant0r: you have ntfs prob? disk in use or something
[11:30] <Gigant0r> no..not really
[11:30] <Gigant0r> if i ls /media/sdc1 , its empty
[11:31] <Gigant0r> if i can see it in /media its mounted , right?
[11:31] <flaccid> you need to check the command, mount to see if its mounted
[11:31] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: cat /etc/mtab
[11:31] <flaccid> mount | grep sdc
[11:31] <flaccid> or that
[11:32] <Gigant0r> cool its not there
[11:32] <flaccid> so its not mounted
[11:32] <Gigant0r> yay
[11:32] <dwidmann> That's good news.
[11:32] <Gigant0r> word to your mother
[11:32] <flaccid> disks & filesystems is the gui for fstab
[11:32] <Gigant0r> that dosent work
[11:32] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1
[11:33] <flaccid> doesn't work?
[11:33] <flaccid> Gigant0r: what are you trying to achieve?
[11:33] <Gigant0r> sorry
[11:33] <Gigant0r> i mean i dont have that option
[11:33] <flaccid> which option?
[11:33] <Gigant0r> disks and filesystems
[11:33] <Gigant0r> thats in system preferences right
[11:33] <flaccid> which kubuntu release are you on?
[11:33] <flaccid> its in system settings
[11:34] <Gigant0r> yeah i know it should be there but it isnt
[11:34] <Gigant0r> 8.04
[11:34] <Gigant0r> kde 4.1
[11:34] <flaccid> which kubuntu release are you on?
[11:34] <flaccid> kubuntu/kde3?
[11:34] <flaccid> right
[11:34] <flaccid> wrong channel for kde4 support
[11:34] <Gigant0r> i thought it was removed
[11:34] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: my option presented above will still work :)
[11:34] <Gigant0r> lol cheers
[11:35] <Gigant0r> sorry, i didnt think it was a kde problem that i had
[11:35] <flaccid> Gigant0r: do you have kde3 installed?
[11:35] <flaccid> its not a kde problem
[11:36] <Gigant0r> yer i still do
[11:36] <Gigant0r> dwidmann: its all back after a forced mount
[11:36] <Gigant0r> thanks
[11:36] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: one thing first
[11:36] <Gigant0r> so /media shows the mount points, not the actual mountings?
[11:36] <flaccid> Gigant0r: easiest way to fix this is this: run command: /usr/bin/systemsettings then use the disks & filesystems there
[11:36] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: sudo su -c "tail -1 /etc/mtab >> /etc/fstab"
[11:37] <flaccid> dwidmann: thats not a good practice
[11:37] <flaccid> if you want to configure it manually follow this guide
[11:37] <flaccid> !ntfs
[11:37] <dwidmann> flaccid: done immediately after a successful mount I've never managed to hurt anything
[11:38] <flaccid> its not an extensible command eg. you have a usb cdrom and flash disk mounted
[11:38] <Gigant0r> is that just writing the mtab entry that i just put in to fstab?
[11:38] <dwidmann> it adds the last line of the mtab (which is the most recent thing mounted) to the fstab
[11:38] <Gigant0r> yeah thats what i thought
[11:39] <ale22944> hi all, got a problem with my screen resolution! does anybody know how to modify resolution from terminal?
[11:39] <flaccid> ale22944: xrandr
[11:39] <Gigant0r> its fucking annoying that it treats them as removeable disks
[11:39] <ale22944> tnx!!
[11:40] <flaccid> Gigant0r: it?
[11:40] <Gigant0r> erm
[11:40] <Gigant0r> ntfs-3g or whatever is doing the managing of disks
[11:40] <flaccid> ntfs-3g has no idea and you only need to mount as ntfs type
[11:41] <dwidmann> Gigant0r: all things are treated that way if they aren't in the fstab, well, pretty much.
[11:41] <gstaniak> dwidmann: thanks, and sorry for the delay. so, configuring wi-fi, provided a driver is present, should be pretty straightforward? right click on the network manager, then a few clicks and i'm done?
[11:41] <Gigant0r> if you have fixed drives, why would you get instructed to boot windows and safely remove it
[11:41] <Gigant0r> oic
[11:41] <ale22944> ok Checked xrandr but the only options i have are between 320*240 and 640*480. Yesterday my screen resolution was @ 1280
[11:41] <flaccid> gstaniak: right click on knetworkmanager yes
[11:41] <ale22944> any idea?
[11:41] <Gigant0r> i thought it was because they were sata disks, and can be removed
[11:41] <dwidmann> gstaniak: yeah, pretty much
[11:41] <Gigant0r> in windows anyway
[11:41] <flaccid> Gigant0r: this aint windows
[11:41] <flaccid> ale22944: check the X log
[11:42] <ale22944> ok
[11:42] <gstaniak> flaccid: _K_networkmanager? is it different from the one in gnome?
[11:42] <gstaniak> dwidmann: thanks
[11:42] <flaccid> gstaniak: yeah its a kde/qt frontend to NetworkManager
[11:42] <gstaniak> flaccid: ah, i see. ok, thanks
[11:43] <Dragonath> mm nobody here has any experience with setting up infrared on (k)ubuntu?
[11:44] <ale22944> nothing

[13:07] <timo> What does "rename inline" mean in Dolphin?
[13:08] <timo> I checked it, but still can't rename files by left-clicking twice
[13:09] <timo> oh I see the difference now... it's just that you do'nt get a popup window when you say "Rename"
[13:10] <timo> Is it possible to rename files by left-clicking on them twice?
[13:10] <anjos> oi td bem?
[13:12] <RurouniJones> Why do we have dolphin? What was the rationale? Konqueror was doing a fine job
[13:17] <flaccid> RurouniJones: go ask #kde perhaps
[13:17] <timo> konqueror is just the same
[13:18] <timo> not better than dolphin in this particular case

[14:01] <lucas_> Hello! Can someone explain me why Ark can't extract zip-files. Zip and Unzip are both installed.
[14:05] <mrksbrd> lucas: you have to explain more
[14:08] <lucas_> mrksbrd : I have kubuntu 8.04 installed on my laptop, try to extract zip files with ark, but every time it tells me 'no archive loaded'. When I look at the possible file extensions supported in the open dialog, it looks that only tar, rar, gzip, bzip and raw cd images an be opened.
[14:08] <lucas_> as i told unzip and zip are (imho) properly installed
[14:09] <mrksbrd> ok give me a sec
[14:09] <lucas_> thx
[14:10] <lucas_> mrksbrd: can it be this: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Utils/Ark (Pursue someone to fix libzip in ubuntu etc according to bug 167018) ?
[14:11] <Douglas_E> My computer is conneting to 41.232.148.85 port 38617 and I have no idea why. How can I find which program is doing it?
[14:13] <Pici> Douglas_E: sudo netstat -tanp | grep 38617
[14:13] <stamen> lucas, did you try unziping under console?
[14:13] <lucas_> stamen : that's no problem
[14:14] <stamen> so, did you try
[14:14] <mrksbrd> lucas: i just tried both zipp'ing & un-zipping with ark & worked fine
[14:14] <lucas_> yes i tried
[14:15] <lucas_> can it be a kde4 specific problem?
[14:16] <lucas_> i know this is not the place for kde4, but thought this hadn't anything to do with it
[14:16] <mrksbrd> good question....i'm using v3
[14:18] <lucas_> i gonna ask on the kde4 channel and if they can't help me either i'll stay with the console ><
[14:18] <mrksbrd> lucas: bug #248029
[14:20] <lucas_> so i'm not alone :)
[14:20] <Douglas_E> thanks pici looks like nothing is attached there according to that command but firestarter is reporting it. I wonder what gives?
[14:20] <lucas_> just have to be a little patient then
[14:20] <lucas_> thanx for the help mrksbrd
[14:20] <mrksbrd> nope....they know about it & still working on solution
[14:20] <mrksbrd> np

[14:32] <baudthief> help... I just installed realplayer for linux (as well as helix player), and now the colours during video playback are all warped, like the hue has been shifted. This is now SYSTEM WIDE and not just under real/helix! (ie: vlc and mplayer do the same)
[14:33] <flaccid> Denise: Tools | Delete private data
[14:33] <baudthief> Denise: watched something dodgy? :P
[14:33] <Denise> ahah
[14:33] <Denise> no
[14:34] <Denise> it is cuz i cant sign in with a new password
[14:34] <JackWinter> anyone know where virtualbox installs its files under kubuntu ?
[14:34] <Denise> I reinstalled opera and Im not able to syncronize
[14:34] <Denise> the fusion is as impossible with my previous account
[14:34] <flaccid> !info virtualbox | JackWinter
[14:35] <flaccid> JackWinter: were you install from?
[14:35] <flaccid> Denise: there is ##Opera
[14:35] <Denise> what is that
[14:35] <JackWinter> in adept, but maybe it's from mediabuntu ?
[14:35] <flaccid> an opera support channel Denise
[14:35] <Denise> oh nice
[14:36] <Denise> on witch server?
[14:36] <flaccid> Denise: this one
[14:36] <Denise> here?
[14:36] <flaccid> JackWinter: so its from a package?
[14:36] <JackWinter> yes
[14:36] <flaccid> Denise: /join ##Opera
[14:36] <flaccid> JackWinter: what is the package name?
[14:36] <Denise> ty
[14:37] <flaccid> JackWinter: virtualbox-ose ?
[14:38] <JackWinter> flaccid: virtualbox-ose + the kernel support file, universe/misc
[14:38] <flaccid> JackWinter: you can go to http://packages.ubuntu.com and look the file list up
[14:39] <tzd> anyone here with ktorrent and knows how it works please? Trying to seed a downloaded file but instead i receive a message saying the file has reached it's upload time of 0,01 and therefore cannot be started.
[14:41] <JackWinter> flaccid: thanks, am looking right now
[14:57] <kurumin> fffffffffffffffff
[15:01] <snarkster> tzd: Ive never seeded before
[15:01] <snarkster> tzd: but ktorrent is my preferred torrent client
[15:01] <Ludwig> me too
[15:01] <tzd> snarkster: hehe well i usually do it while downloading although now i wanted to seed a bit more :)
[15:02] <Ludwig> ok. I'm sorry, if my english is a bit broken (?), but I#m german
[15:02] <tzd> snarkster: found out how to do it myself in the end though... I had to enable one of the modules that loads the bar below where you can change settings per torrent
[15:02] <Ludwig> ok...
[15:03] <snarkster> ludwig nice of you to drop by..
[15:03] <snarkster> ludwig how are things in germany?
[15:04] <Ludwig> well - the whether is very well
[15:04] <tzd> i like ktorrent but i'm missing one major feature that utorrent have (perhaps it's included in the 3.x versions?)... the feature I'm missing is the abiltity to have different save locations per torrent. E.g. i use rss downloading and would love to have torrentX downloaded to /dirX and torrentY downloaded to /dirY
[15:04] <snarkster> nice, what season is it?
[15:05] <Ludwig> summer
[15:05] <snarkster> tzd Im pretty sure you can.
[15:05] <tzd> I was in Germany 2 months ago :) Where in Germany do you live Ludwig?
[15:05] <snarkster> tzd I just recently found out that ktorrent has rss feature
[15:05] <tzd> snarkster: yeah i know the rss works in ktorrent since i'm using it but i haven't found a way to separate the download dirs
[15:05] <Ludwig> I live in bavaria - near oberammergau or Garmisch-Partenkirchen
[15:06] <Ludwig> I don't really understand these things - I' leave.
[15:06] <tzd> Ludwig: ah ok. Oktoberfest soon then ;)
[15:06] <Ludwig> yeah bye
[15:06] <snarkster> ok later ludwing..
[15:06] <snarkster> lol
[15:06] <tzd> that was a quickie
[15:07] <tzd> what was it he wanted? Just to say hello? :)
[15:07] <snarkster> well I guess a quickie is nice every now and then.
[15:07] <snarkster> I have no idea
[15:07] <tzd> ^^
[15:09] <maltron> hi, I'm having trouble connecting an ipod via firewire to my machine.  It used to work fine, but now it doesn't!  I don't even know what the mount point is meant to be.... can anyone help?
[15:09] <maltron> sorry, by mount point I actually meant device node...
[15:10] <snarkster> swince when did ipod use firewire?
[15:12] <snarkster> my daughters ipod uses some sort of usb -> propietary connector.. I didnt know they had firewire as well.. thats cool
[15:50] <forty-seven_> anyone know why my kubuntu box now only supports 640x480 resolution, when prior to reboot it supported larger?
[15:51] <abby87> forty-seven_: did u uninstall ur graphics driver?
[15:51] <japa> did you update, install, or re-install video drivers?
[15:51] <snarkster> forty-seven what kinda video card you got?
[15:52] <snarkster> why are you asking such a question anyway?? LOL how are we to know with out something to go on. rofl
[15:52] <forty-seven_> its a fresh install of kubuntu
[15:52] <forty-seven_> according to the system settings manager it has the right driver
[15:53] <forty-seven_> just now that I've rebooted it wont go above 640x480
[15:53] <snarkster> actually it was me, whilst you were getting your bowl of wheaties for breakfast I snuck in through the air conditioning vent and changed the resolution
[15:53] <snarkster> what kinda video card do you have
[15:53] <forty-seven_> nVidia TNT2
[15:54] <japa> snarkster: was it also you that made plasma not recognize mmy video extensions?
[15:54] <snarkster> did you install the closed driver or the open driver?
[15:54] <japa> :P
[15:54] <snarkster> japa yes it was me I did muhahahaha
[15:55] <snarkster> people everywhere are haivng computer problems, hell some cant even get the lamps to work because of me ME I SAY!!!
[15:56] <japa> oh good, I coulda sworn it was because I reset xorg.conf to defaults
[15:56] <snarkster> oh in your case it was you. bleh
[15:56] <snarkster> :P
[15:56] <forty-seven_> I donno
[15:56] <snarkster> forty-seven check you xorg and see if there are more resolutionslisted
[15:56] <forty-seven_> I didnt install anything specifically
[15:57] <japa> but now that xorg.conf is back to normal, I still can't get certain things back
[15:57] <forty-seven_> kubuntu automatically set the resolution and all that when it installed
[15:57] <snarkster> do you know how big a resolution you can get to?
[15:57] <forty-seven_> yeah
[15:57] <forty-seven_> 1280x1024
[15:57] <snarkster> i usually set mine to 640x480 800x600 1024x768
[15:58] <forty-seven_> where is my xorg.conf file?
[15:58] <forty-seven_> (sorry, noob)
[15:58] <snarkster> forty-seven_: ok then lets open a konsole and type less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:59] <forty-seven_> yeah
[15:59] <forty-seven_> ok
[15:59] <snarkster> gah I hate the default xorg.conf file.. it has no resolution listed at all.. sheesh
[16:00] <snarkster> ok forty-seven_ run krandr
[16:00] <forty-seven_> here you go
[16:00] <forty-seven_> http://rafb.net/p/SzyEqF62.html
[16:01] <sparr> ive got a linux machine running X with no WM.  what could be controlling power saving causing the monitor to turn off, other than the monitor itself?
[16:02] <snarkster> sparr bios
[16:03] <TheMaxzilla> Can someone help me switch the default session to KDE?
[16:04] <snarkster> TheMaxzilla: sure open a terminal and do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[16:05] <snarkster> forty-seven_: do you see that modeline? that why yu are stuck at 640x480
[16:05] <forty-seven_> yeah
[16:05] <forty-seven_> was trying to change it
[16:06] <forty-seven_> but I cant seem to edit the file and save it
[16:06] <TheMaxzilla> snarkster: uh, It's already installed. I just want to switch it to the default one.
[16:06] <snarkster> switch back to gnome?
[16:06] <snarkster> I dont understand
[16:07] <TheMaxzilla> So I don't log in under default, and into Gnome
[16:07] <snarkster> oh did you by chance install kdm or are you still using gdm?
[16:08] <TheMaxzilla> No, ok. When I log in as the default session, I log in as GNOME. I wanna log in under KDE. KDE's already installed, I'm using it now.
[16:08] <snarkster> either way when you see the logon screen just click session and choose kde
[16:08] <TheMaxzilla> then will it be the default session?
[16:09] <snarkster> it will ask I htink if you want that to become the default session
[16:09] <snarkster> give it a try and let us know what happens
[16:11] <forty-seven_> ok
[16:11] <forty-seven_> fixed the problem
[16:11] <forty-seven_> had to select a non-generic Plug and Play monitor
[16:12] <snarkster> awesome
[16:12] <snarkster> sorry I didnt help much.
[16:12] <forty-seven_> its all cool
[16:12] <forty-seven_> lol

[16:38] <snypermann> dwidmann: it isn't a file, but a directory
[16:40] <devo>  i have a problem hope someone can help me out
[16:40] <dhuv> can anybody suggest a place where I can ask some questions regarding Intrepid Alpha 4
[16:40] <dhuv> devo: whats the question?
[16:40] <Pici> dhuv: #ubuntu+1
[16:41] <devo> I did try to put a movie to a disk but the movie work's fine when i play it on my computer aka when i don't put it do a disk but when i put the movie to a disk the sound is all messed up, can anyone help me out?
[16:41] <dhuv> Pici: thanks I will check it out
[16:42] <dhuv> devo: so the sound is out of sync with the video? does the video show up at all?
[16:42] <snypermann> dwidmann: wow, i was wrong
[16:42] <devo>  i use devede to put it do a video iso then i use k3b to put it to a disk, is there something that i'm do'n wrong???
[16:42] <snypermann> i meen: all the programms wich starts up when you logged in
[16:43] <devo> the video is way out of sync when i put the movie to a disk but it does show the video
[16:43] <devo>  is there something that i'm do'n wrong???
[16:43] <stdin> snypermann: ~/.kde/Autostart for your user and /usr/share/autostart for system-wide
[16:44] <dhuv> devo: I am not sure, I do not usually put videos to disk, usually am taking them off :)
[16:44] <dhuv> perhaps you can try a different format, VCD or SVCD or DVD
[16:44] <devo>  it's kool, i do thank u for try'n to help me out ;-)
[16:45] <snypermann> stdin: thanks
[16:45] <devo>  i don't know anyother way to put a movie to a disk so i guess i'm s o l ither way :-(
[16:48] <mrksbrd> stdin: is there an easy way to add "shortcuts" into kmenu under specific menus?
[16:48] <snypermann> well, it isn't what i am looking for
[16:48] <snypermann> i need to change it with nano
[16:49] <stdin> mrksbrd: right click the kmenu -> Menu Editor
[16:50] <snypermann> stdin: to explain it: we have a problem with a program. it would be nice if it doesn't start up again
[16:50] <mrksbrd> lol... that was easy....ty...
[16:50] <stdin> snypermann: what program?
[16:50] <snypermann> stdin: gnome-pilot and a program wich can change cpu speed
[16:53] <stdin> snypermann: are you sure it starts from autostart and not from restoring the session?
[16:54] <snypermann> stdin: euh woeps. its from a session
[16:55] <stdin> snypermann: it *should* stop opening if you close it before logging out, if not you can stop it from starting from KMenu -> System Setting -> Advanced -> Session Manager
[16:55] <stdin> there's an option to exclude applications
[16:56] <mrksbrd> what does "bootclean" do under system services
[16:56] <stdin> if that all fails, just set it to start a empty session
[16:57] <snypermann> stdin: thanks
[16:59] <mrksbrd> stdin; what does "bootclean" do under system services
[16:59] <stdin> mrksbrd: looks like it cleans out /tmp
[16:59] <mrksbrd> ok
[16:59] <mrksbrd> is that something good to do @ boot....or does it automatically run process
[17:00] <stdin> it's good because /tmp is for temporary files that aren't supposed to be around after a reboot
[17:00] <stdin> it clears the X session locks for instance
[17:00] <mrksbrd> let me ask u this does it keep building as winblows does ...thus taking up hdd space
[17:01] <stdin> it gets cleared at boot, so it doesn't build up
[17:01] <mrksbrd> ok so I should enable it @ boot right now it's listed as "no"
[17:02] <stdin> I think that runs anyway
[17:02] <mrksbrd> oh ok
[17:03] <stdin> you can always check by creating a file in /tmp and rebooting. if it's not there after booting then /tmp was cleaned
[17:04] <mrksbrd> ok.......also one more ? for ya....there are a few progs that i have to start from Konsole is there a way to shortcut them from desktop....or do they have to be launched under command line
[17:05] <stdin> you mean command-line apps, or GUI apps?
[17:06] <mrksbrd> for instance 4l-GUI is a prog for my lightscribe drive
[17:07] <mrksbrd> I have to go to terminal to launch right now, but it is a GUI based prog once launced
[17:08] <stdin> you can add a link (short-cut) to the desktop by right clicking the desktop -> create new -> link to application or add an item to the KMenu by right clicking the KMenu -> Menu Editor
[17:08] <stdin> then just fill in details, like name and command
[17:09] <mrksbrd> yea i tried that....but kinda new on navigating which directories.....where does progs get installed to
[17:10] <mrksbrd> guess that is my biggest prob.....knowing how to navigate directories & where things install to.....
[17:10] <mrksbrd> i know the commands.....just don't know where to look
[17:11] <stdin> most of the time you can just put the command in, if you want to know where it is just run "which <command>"
[17:11] <stdin> so "which 4l-GUI" should print where it is
[17:11] <mrksbrd> oh ok
[17:11] <mrksbrd> that makes it easy
[17:12] <mrksbrd> ty
[17:24] <japa> my KDE4 system doesn't want to detect the fact that my geforce 7600gs supports shaders, is there anyrthing I can do about it?
[17:29] <bubblegum> hallo
[17:29] <japa> wow, quiet
[17:30] <japa> guess I'm on my own
[17:31] <japa> hallo
[17:32] <devo>  ok n/m about my ? of how do u put a movie to a disk cuz i fixed the problem
[17:33] <JackWinter> anyone know what packages i have to install from adept to get virtualbox running under kubuntu 8.04 ?
[17:34] <devo>  the problem was that for putt'n the movie to a disk i did put the avi movie to a iso then i put the iso to an image and then to a disk & that did fix the problem of why the sound was all out of sync
[17:35] <devo>  that's for if anyone does care cuz i did ask for help on how to put a movie to a disk so yeah
[17:42] <JackWinter> or maybe i should refrase the question, where do i find the guest additions, or what package do i have to install for the g. add. ?
[17:42] <White_Pelican> is there a channel for discussions about Intrepid?
[17:46] <bazhang> !ibex
[17:46] <definitely> how can i change default file manager from that DOLPHIN..... to KONQUEROR  ?
[17:46] <japa> kde3 or 4?
[17:47] <definitely> kde3
[17:48] <Githzerai> definitely: right click on any folder, and under properties set default app for opening folders....
[17:48] <japa> hm... what I thought would do it doesn't.... nevermind
[17:49] <White_Pelican> thanks bazhang for the link
[17:49] <bazhang> np :)
[17:49] <White_Pelican> I know now I will never use ibex
[17:50] <definitely> KDE4 and Dolphin is shit.. :/
[17:50] <White_Pelican> i agree definitely
[17:50] <stdin> definitely: watch the language
[17:50] <definitely> watch language for truth ?
[17:50] <White_Pelican> it's not ready for prime time and they want to put it in ibex by default?
[17:51] <stdin> definitely: there is no swearing in here
[17:51] <definitely> stdin: Ok, anyway kde4 isnt user friendly.
[17:51] <stdin> non-support discussion goes in #kubuntu-offtopic
[17:51] <White_Pelican> emile zola - truth is on the march and nothing will stop it
[17:52] <White_Pelican> GWB - you can't handle the truth
[17:52] <White_Pelican> LOL
[17:52] <definitely> :D
[17:52] <White_Pelican> in reality I don't have many problems with Dolphin
[17:52] <White_Pelican> they finally put back in what they were supposed to
[17:53] <White_Pelican> here's one problem I have with it
[17:53] <stdin> !dolphin | definitely
[17:53] <White_Pelican> O assume it's ok to state it here? ;)
[17:53] <White_Pelican> stdin, that helped me a bit
[17:53] <White_Pelican> ty
[17:54] <definitely> stdin: thnx
[17:55] <White_Pelican> here's the problem. I start Konqueror and dolpin 4 (I am running kde 3 but have kde 4 installed) I go into Konqieror, cut several files, and paste into another folder in Dolphin. surprise! they have not been cut from konqueror
[17:56] <definitely> stdin: so new versions of KDE will not have KDE 3 anymore.. ?
[17:56] <definitely> of Kubuntu''
[17:56] <stdin> White_Pelican: from KDE3 konquerir to KDE4 dolphin?
[17:57] <White_Pelican> correct, stdin
[17:57] <stdin> definitely: KDE3 is no longer maintained by the KDE project, so yes
[17:57] <definitely> stdin: so you recomend to start loveing KDE 4 ?
[17:57] <stdin> White_Pelican: I wouldn't think that would work, how do you expect them to communicate?
[17:58] <stdin> definitely: I recommend you wait until intrepid comes out before you start slamming it
[17:58] <definitely> ok..
[17:59] <jabba> i need another desktop
[17:59] <White_Pelican> well, you should be able to copy and pasted from one file manager type program to another, don't you think?
[17:59] <jabba> how do i add one more? i have three now
[17:59] <jabba> i'm on kde4
[17:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> jabba: what do you want?
[17:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> i assume you've got gnome, kde3, and kde4?
[17:59] <stdin> White_Pelican: can you copy from nautilus to konqueror?
[17:59] <jabba> i have one row of three desktops, i want one more column
[17:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> oh
[17:59] <White_Pelican> I don't use nautilus
[18:00] <jabba> and incidentally i do have gnome, kde3 and kde4 but i think that's missing the point
[18:02] <definitely> stdin: now i have Kubuntu 8.04,1, by default its KDE3, but now i am install KDE4.1 hmm when i install it, is it possible to remove KDe3  ?
[18:02] <stdin> White_Pelican: actually, coping/cutting from konqueror(kde3) to dolphin(kde4) works for me
[18:03] <stdin> definitely: it is, but I would not recommend it
[18:03] <definitely> stdin: can i ask why ?
[18:03] <stdin> definitely: because many kde3 apps have not been ported yet, like knetworkmanager and guidance power manager
[18:03] <White_Pelican> hmmm
[18:03] <definitely> stdin: ok, one more guesstion, now if i will use KDE4.1 in Kubuntu 8.04.1 there will not be any problems for upgrade to interpid ibex when it'll be out ?
[18:04] <White_Pelican> wonder why it doesn't work for me, stdin
[18:04] <stdin> definitely: there won't
[18:04] <White_Pelican> does it actually pasted it to the new location and remoe from the old one?
[18:04] <stdin> White_Pelican: possibly because I'm using kde4's klipper, I haven't tried with the kde3 klipper
[18:05] <White_Pelican> ah
[18:05] <White_Pelican> that mighjt explain it
[18:05] <White_Pelican> also, when I was in kde4, it took over my sound even when I went back into kde3
[18:06] <White_Pelican> also, when I click on sign out in kde4, it doesn't bring back the login screen
[18:06] <White_Pelican> the screen goes blank
[18:07] <stdin> kde4 uses phonon, which works on top of alsa, it should not take anything over
[18:07] <White_Pelican> I know
[18:07] <White_Pelican> but it did
[18:07] <stdin> what are the symptoms?
[18:07] <SmokeEater85911> k so whats the best way to install flashplayer?
[18:08] <stdin> SmokeEater85911: by installing the "flashplugin-nonfree" package
[18:08] <White_Pelican> error - sound device is busy with another application
[18:08] <SmokeEater85911> through the adept manager? download straight from the site?
[18:08] <White_Pelican> and no other apps that use sound are wroking
[18:09] <stdin> White_Pelican: phonon isn't an app, it's a library, it can only be running in kde4
[18:09] <stdin> see if artsd is running
[18:09] <stdin> SmokeEater85911: use adept, it will download it for you
[18:10] <White_Pelican> well my only guess is, when I had to restart kdm (because signing out of kde 4 did NOT bring me back to the sign on screen like it should) whatever held on to the sound device did not free it when I restarted kdm
[18:11] <pim> !netsplit
[18:11] <White_Pelican> I did a ps ax and there were several kde 4 refeences in memory
[18:11] <stdin> White_Pelican: like I said, it uses alsa, so it can't hold the sound card
[18:11] <White_Pelican> well something did
[18:11] <White_Pelican> that's all I know
[18:12] <TheMaxzilla> How can I set my default media player from armorak to Banshee?
[18:12] <stdin> White_Pelican: see if "lsof | grep dsp" shows anything, or "sudo lsof|grep dsp"
[18:13] <White_Pelican> I did that
[18:13] <SmokeEater85911> what all do I need from the list?
[18:13] <definitely> stdin: Can i pm you ?
[18:13] <stdin> definitely: yeah
[18:14] <stdin> !paste > definitely
[18:14] <SmokeEater85911> flashplugin-nonfree what else
[18:15] <stdin> SmokeEater85911: that should be all you need
[18:16] <ulusoy> slm
[18:16] <definitely> stdin: Do you read pm ?
[18:17] <definitely> :S
[18:17] <stdin> yes
[18:19] <oxi> hello who is the name of the german chanel??
[18:19] <stdin> oxi: #kubuntu-de
[18:20] <oxi> super thx
[18:23] <afeijo> who knows rtorrent? do I need to remain on its screen until the download dont finish? Or I can just close it and keep using my shell?
[18:26] <afeijo> rtorrent anyone?
[18:40] <asfak> adept maanger does not work on kub-intrepid-alpha4
[18:43] <asfak> Kubuntu should be stopped. If you are no more interested in giving good kde desktop, what's the use creating one more distro.
[18:44] <SmokeEater85911> i have a quick question
[18:44] <SmokeEater85911> does anybody have ksmoothdock installed>
[18:44] <SmokeEater85911> ?*
[18:46] <SmokeEater85911> is anybody even in this room alive? lol
[18:48] <asfak> kubuntu is at alpha4 stage. Adept(that too version2) is not working. Live Cd works after 4-5 trials. System setting does not work (except by sudo systemsettings). No firefox by default. could not access windows drive from dolphin. Unneccesary folder view on default desktop
[18:54] <SmokeEater85911> so then dont use it?
[18:57] <Githzerai> asfak: IMHO, for alpha 4 is pretty good. That "unneccecary" folderview is a matter of personal taste. Firefox was never a part of Kubuntu cd. etc. It's alpha 4, you're supposed to expect some things not to work, otherwise it would be a release, not alpha ;)
[18:57] <asfak> i have been using that since begining. Except last 2 release where kubuntu is no more mature enough. Stay there i will be back soon.
[19:00] <Denise> tar: Child returned status 2
[19:01] <Denise> someobody knows why i have that error trying to install flashplayer?
[19:12] <ale22944> Hi all! ﻿does anybody know why my wireless minipci card (Intel 3945 ABG) doesn't work with Hardy? With Gusty has always worked well!
[19:12] <Nyle> hey people of the #kubuntu
[19:15] <Nyle> I have questions about kubuntu
[19:15] <ale22944> go on
[19:15] <Nyle> how can I make it so that every video files open with mplayer (not gmplayer)
[19:15] <Nyle> I have installed medibuntu packages of mlayer
[19:16] <ale22944> really sorry
[19:16] <ale22944> don't know
[19:16] <ale22944> better hold on a secon
[19:16] <Nyle> is there a update-alternatives for it
[19:16] <Nyle> (I can't find anything in /etc/alternatives regarding default video player)
[19:16] <Nyle> is this a system wide setting or a per user setting in KDE?
[19:17] <Nyle> thank you
[19:17] <ale22944> try to right click an a video file and select open with
[19:17] <ale22944> in the options I have use as default program for this file
[19:19] <Nyle> oh
[19:19] <dragan> ?aos...
[19:19] <Nyle> I see
[19:20] <Nyle> mmm
[19:21] <Githzerai> Nyle: In systemSettings under advanced u have file associations
[19:21] <Githzerai> Just select all video file types to be opened with your wanted player prior to others installed
[19:21] <asfak> kubuntu 8.10 alpha4 is certainly alpha. Bugs are expected at this stage. but when most wanted features are absent, this is disgusting. It's not the developers are unaware of public taste of major though not all.
[19:22] <Pici> !8.10
[19:22] <Pici> hrm
[19:23] <Nyle> wow
[19:23] <Nyle> that is a lot of them
[19:23] <Nyle> Ihave to manually do each file extention one by one select mplayer and move it up in order?
[19:23] <Nyle> is there no way to automatically assign an entire video files group to mplayer?
[19:24] <Nyle> this is a bit tedious and could easily get irritating (just the thought of it is like wow, thats a lot of work)
[19:25] <Githzerai> Nyle: just select a whole video category, you should be able to set association for all of them (I'm in KDE4 for a while, so can't remember exactly how it used to be ;) )
[19:26] <Nyle> No, it is not possible
[19:26] <Nyle> oh god
[19:27] <Githzerai> Sorry, then. But it isn't that much of a job. You have about 30 file types, so somewher about 60-70 mouse clicks to set them all. ;)
[19:27] <Nyle> UH GOD
[19:28] <Nyle> imagine how much back'n'forth mouse dragging is involved
[19:28] <Nyle> and they buttons don't even have alt+ shortcuts
[19:29] <Nyle> you have to select mplayer, and then they work
[19:30] <Githzerai> Nyle:  Yes, maybe it is that hard, but remember you'll do it once, and (probably) never again.....
[19:30] <Nyle> ok
[19:30] <Nyle> after all this settings stuff
[19:31] <Nyle> you're gonna have to help me find a way to backup all my settings and so if i have to ever reformat, I don't have to do it again
[19:31] <Nyle> ok?
[19:31] <Nyle> please?
[19:31] <Githzerai> Just save your /home folder ;)
[19:31] <Nyle> no

[20:10] <SmokeEater85911> so Im just relaying what i did to figure it out
[20:13] <mefisto__> kiba: to list available soundcards: asoundconf list
[20:14] <sevenseeker> when I telnet to another host, I need to send ^C, but that isn't working (even if I hit it twice), how do I quickly send this?

[20:16] <kiba> mefisto__: it lists nothing
[20:17] <mefisto__> kiba: it seems there's something wrong with your soundcard. try rebooting?
[20:17] <kiba> mefisto__: Ok
[20:21] <JackWinter> anyone  seen something similar, since i installed vbox this afternoon, konqueror keeps on losing the ability to browse the net.  local files still work.  firefox still works. running kubuntu 8.04 and vbox 1.5.6
[20:22] <SmokeEater85911> cant say that I have
[20:23] <SmokeEater85911> is there a way to run a command at every startup?
[20:25] <SmokeEater85911> like say I want to run xmodmap every time I start up , because when i reboot it removes the mapping
[20:26] <shaffy> can someone please tell me where all my ktorrent data files are so i can transfer my dls/uls to a new installation of kubuntu (and its respective ktorrent)?
[20:26] <SmokeEater85911> more specifically i want to run *xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Menu"* every time i start up
[20:28] <shaffy> can someone please tell me where all my ktorrent data files are so i can transfer my dls/uls to a new installation of kubuntu (and its respective ktorrent)?
[20:28] <shaffy> oops, sorry for the repeat
[20:29] <unamanic> shaffy: ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/ and ~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc
[20:30] <unamanic> Smoke: everytime you boot, or everytime you login?
[20:30] <SmokeEater85911> every time I boot, I take it i need to write a script and put it in /etc/init.d?
[20:31] <shaffy> unamanic: thank you kindly.  so transferring both these over shall provide me with my original dls/uls and configurations?
[20:31] <kiba> hi
[20:31] <kiba> I rebooted and still can't hear anything
[20:31] <unamanic> shaffy: yes
[20:32] <SmokeEater85911> unamanic: where would i put this script?
[20:32] <SmokeEater85911> and how would i write it
[20:32] <unamanic> Smoke: I can't remember exactly
[20:32] <SmokeEater85911> I just need to run *xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Menu"* on startup
[20:32] <unamanic> In red hat systems there was and initrc file that things like this could go into
[20:33] <SmokeEater85911> http://www.revis.co.uk/site/?q=node/124 would that work, and just change the last line?
[20:33] <kiba> no sooooooooound
[20:33] <kiba> why?
[20:35] <shaffy> unamanic: thank you. :)
[20:36] <unamanic> Smoke, it should work, then you need to work it into your init system at various run levels
[20:37] <unamanic> smoke, didnet read carefully enough, this is how to put into init
[20:37] <unamanic> *did not*
[20:37] <unamanic> the scrip should be simple
[20:38] <SmokeEater85911> k
[20:38] <unamanic> #!/bin/sh          on the first line
[20:38] <unamanic> and your command on the second
[20:38] <gili> hello to all
[20:39] <kiba> what happen if I unmount the current partition?
[20:39] <SmokeEater85911> thats it?
[20:39] <SmokeEater85911> and just save it as a shell script in the init.d folder?
[20:39] <unamanic> yep
[20:39] <unamanic> then run the commands from the link you have
[20:40] <unamanic> on it
[20:40] <gili> can someone help me with HP WIFI please?
[20:40] <SmokeEater85911> how do I save it as a shell script?
[20:40] <SmokeEater85911> im using kate
[20:40] <unamanic> a shell scrip is a just a text file
[20:41] <SmokeEater85911> so it saves as .txt?
[20:41] <unamanic> script  (I can't type)
[20:41] <unamanic> no file extension
[20:41] <sevenseeker> I am trying to send a ctrl-c character through telnet and cannot (nothing happens) now that I '
[20:41] <sevenseeker> now that I toggled localchars I can't unset it
[20:41] <sevenseeker> so ctrl-c escapes telnet
[20:41] <sevenseeker> can someone please help me reset it to normal and tell me how telnet can send ctrl-c without me booting into windows and using putty?
[20:41] <unamanic> file extensions don'tmean wanything in linux anyway
[20:41] <SmokeEater85911> sweet
[20:42] <SmokeEater85911> what do you men by run the commands from the link I have?
[20:42] <SmokeEater85911> mean*
[20:43] <unamanic> *chmod +x [filename]* makes the file executable
[20:43] <SmokeEater85911> ah gotcha
[20:44] <unamanic> *update-rc.d [filename] defaults* adds it to the init system
[20:44] <unamanic> those will have to be done with sudo
[20:44] <SmokeEater85911> access denied trying to write to the init.d file
[20:44] <sevenseeker> I am trying to send a ctrl-c character through telnet and cannot (nothing happens)
[20:45] <sevenseeker> now that I toggled localchars I can't unset it
[20:45] <SmokeEater85911> sevenseeker: cant you just paste?
[20:45] <sevenseeker> so ctrl-c escapes telnet
[20:45] <sevenseeker> hmm
[20:45] <unamanic> seven: sorry, I can't help you, haven't used telnet in 10 years
[20:45] <SmokeEater85911> er copy i mean
[20:45] <SmokeEater85911> use edit>copy
[20:45] <sevenseeker> well I could try that, but I want to be able to do this in full term mode (no gui booted into)
[20:46] <SmokeEater85911> ah
[20:46] <SmokeEater85911> hm.. I forgot what the actual copy/paste commands are in telnet
[20:46] <SmokeEater85911> its not ctrlC and V like normal
[20:46] <SmokeEater85911> back when I used to play MUDs I remembered
[20:46] <unamanic> Smoke: just save the file in your home and *sudo cp [filename] /etc/init.d*
[20:47] <SmokeEater85911> ah duh makes sense to sudo it
[20:47] <SmokeEater85911> ;)
[20:47] <sevenseeker> yeah, I am googling in vane here as I know there is a workaround... somehow
[20:49] <Haza> Evening folks. Ive just plugged a mic into an onboard soundcard. I need to test whether it picks up anything. Suggestions?
[20:49] <SmokeEater85911> how do I cd to root and into the /etc/init.d folder so i can chmod?
[20:51] <SmokeEater85911> nm im dumb
[20:51] <SmokeEater85911> figured it out hah
[20:52] <unamanic> brb - Smoke Break
[20:52] <SmokeEater85911> k hopefully it will work
[20:54] <dick-richardson> how do you run the restricted driver manager in kde4? It isn't listed in the menu or under system settings
[20:56] <SmokeEater85911> hmm the startup script didnt work
[20:58] <unamanic> did it give an error?
[20:59] <SmokeEater85911> no it just didnt map my key
[20:59] <SmokeEater85911> I set my windows key or the "super Key" in linux terms to open the kmenu
[21:00] <SmokeEater85911> I assign key 115 (the windows key) as "Menu" then set the shortcut to open the kmenu to menu
[21:00] <SmokeEater85911> but if i reboot, it removes the mapping to the windows key
[21:01] <unamanic> is there an S[##][filename] in /etc/rc2.d for your script?
[21:03] <SmokeEater85911> yup
[21:03] <SmokeEater85911> S20modmapwinkey.sh
[21:04] <unamanic> new plan of attack...
[21:04] <SmokeEater85911> oh ya know what.. maybe im just a big idiot lol
[21:04] <SmokeEater85911> the command says *xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Menu*
[21:04] <SmokeEater85911> its missing a "
[21:04] <SmokeEater85911> that could do it
[21:04] <unamanic> yes it could
[21:05] <SmokeEater85911> so is there a way to just update the one in init.d and have it update all the other folders?
[21:05] <unamanic> found the script I was thinking of earlier, it's /etc/rc.local
[21:05] <unamanic> yes, the ones in /etc/rc2.d et al are justt soft links
[21:06] <SmokeEater85911> so just change the one in init.d and run the update command?
[21:06] <unamanic> yup
[21:07] <SmokeEater85911> whats the update command again?
[21:07] <SmokeEater85911> lol
[21:07] <unamanic> oops, no just change it, no update requires
[21:07] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: You have much luck with Flash and FF?
[21:07] <unamanic> required
[21:07] <SmokeEater85911> oh yeah?
[21:07] <SmokeEater85911> sweet
[21:07] <SmokeEater85911> Haza: yes and no.. I was having some crazy issues all of a sudden so I completely wiped the partition and reinstalled
[21:08] <SmokeEater85911> and now flash works fine
[21:08] <Haza> SmokeEater85911: Thats a shame mate. Ive had to do the same sort of thing in the past :)
[21:08] <SmokeEater85911> I think it was actually my video driver messing everything ujp
[21:08] <SmokeEater85911> well like they say, you arent learning if you havent broken the system a few times
[21:09] <mrksbrd> what extension does ubuntu use for icons?
[21:10] <Haza> mrksbrd: Not just .ico ?
[21:11] <SmokeEater85911> awesome, lemme test this script brb
[21:11] <mrksbrd> didn't recognize the last one ....figured it may be something else....
[21:11] <unamanic> mrksbrd: I've seen them as PNGs and as SVGs but there may be others
[21:11] <Daisuke_Laptop> xpm, png, svg
[21:11] <mrksbrd> PNG is apple's ext, didn't know if it would work under hardy
[21:12] <mrksbrd> ty
[21:13] <Daisuke_Laptop> png isn't proprietary
[21:13] <Daisuke_Laptop> apple doesn't own it :)
[21:15] <mrksbrd> oh ok
[21:17] <Makuseru> !mp3

[22:26] <joh6nn> is there a way to change apt.conf settings based on what network you're connected to?
[22:50] <FuriousGeorge> is kubuntu on mac g4 supported?
[22:50] <FuriousGeorge> and hi all :)
[22:55] <Niksoni> Both of them or the one with the KDE Remix?
[22:56] <Niksoni> Anyone?
[23:00] <joh6nn> Niksoni: what was the question?
[23:02] <Niksoni> Whic version of the download is with KDE?
[23:02] <Niksoni> there is one that says kubuntu and the one with the KDE remix or something
[23:03] <kaffien> what is the kubuntu kde 4.1 remix?   just an updated kde?
[23:04] <Niksoni> well,i don't know whic one to download if i want with KDE
[23:05] <Niksoni> Wait,is ANY version of download Kubuntu with KDE?
[23:14] <EruditeHermit> hi, how messy is it to install kubuntu-kde4-desktop from the 4.1 repository on a machine with Ubuntu hardy already installed. Is it easy to revert back or will there be a lot of cruft left behind?
[23:17] <kaffien> its simple to revert back .... reinstall hardy .... lol
[23:17] <kaffien> ubuntu only takes about 15 mins to reinstall
[23:17] <EruditeHermit> well yes but I don't want to have to backup all data, reinstall etc
[23:18] <EruditeHermit> it'd be nice if there were a way to do it without reinstalling
[23:19] <Githzerai> EruditeHermit: There is an easy solution: Open Synaptic and under "Origin" find kde 4.1 ppa repo, and remove everything installed from it. ;)
[23:20] <EruditeHermit> cool
[23:20] <EruditeHermit> Githzerai: I assume that it will remove some necessary stuff that I can later reinstall from hardy repos?
[23:20] <EruditeHermit> apt-get -f install to fix it
[23:20] <EruditeHermit> I hope
[23:22] <Githzerai> EruditeHermit: Everything within ppa repo is related only to kde 4.1 and some extragear apps (such as amarok 2 alpha packages) So removing them will only remove - kde 4.1 ;)
[23:23] <EruditeHermit> Githzerai: but if you have other apps such as skype installed, it upgrades libqt4-core etc which if removed will break skype. Therefore, I have to reinstall that stuff that is taken away by the removal of upgraded things
[23:28] <Githzerai> EruditeHermit: Now think : libqt4 is something maintained in official repoes, so.... And, u will only find qt bindings in ppa repo, not qt itself. bindings like libqt4-ruby and so... ;) There's no neeed to worry, it's perfectly safe. ;)
[23:29] <EruditeHermit> well here it goes
[23:30] <EruditeHermit> the origin feature is nice
[23:30] <EruditeHermit> It wasn't there before
[23:32] <Githzerai> EruditeHermit: There are few gtk apps that even I, as an extreme KDE fanatic, cannot live without. Synaptic is on top of that list . ;)
[23:52] <l3x> hello ppl
[23:53] <l3x> can anyone tell me some website that can ping me, show me the way i am connected (all the gateways and stuff) i stumbled once on a very very good site, and now i can't remmember what it was...
[23:54] <paulproteus> l3x, You can use traceroute on your own system to try that.
[23:54] <paulproteus> Rather than relying on a website.
[23:55] <l3x> paulproteus: i know, but i found a great web site, i want to find it again...
[23:55] <l3x> it said everything about my isp, all the servers i go through and gateways...
[23:56] <l3x> it was a brownish site :)
[23:56] <paulproteus> ubuntu.com? (-;
[23:57] <l3x> nope xD
[23:57] <l3x> i know this is not the place to ask, but i was thinking, someone else must have been on that site, it is sooo cool...
[23:58] <l3x> anyway, sorry to bother all of you with this stupid question... :(
[23:58] <kiba> I can't hear sound :(
