[00:00] lolz [00:01] hey, whenever i try and launch a full screen game or something it comes back with an error: Couldn't find matching GLX visual [00:01] i am running on a 24" wide screen [00:02] worked before i got the wide screen setup [00:02] now it doesn't [00:03] ok, to get my kubuntu (and my wifi) working before i had to add "noapic nolapic" to the grub boot params.. when installing kubuntu from cd, i use the f6 advanced options and there are "--" at the end. does my additions go before or after the --'s ? [00:04] before didnt seem to work, and after gives me a black blinking cursor that doesnt go away [00:04] oooh, nvm [00:04] went away, lets see if it works [00:08] so its possible if i untar my old /etc into my new installation that my wifi and other stuff will work like before? [00:08] without installing anything else? [00:14] how compliant are 1998 webcames with kubuntu? lol [00:14] webcams [00:14] i have one from 1998 [00:15] quality is cellphone basicly [00:17] there's a jumbo list of webcams here: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html [00:18] i have ubuntu 5.10 CD...how easy is it to install 5.10 then update to latest kubuntu? [00:18] not that easy [00:18] lol [00:18] how not? [00:18] that upgrade path is definitely not tested [00:18] the thing is, i am not sure if 700mb fits on my cds [00:19] plus i only have 5 700mb cds, and i have 80 gigs of stuff i need..you do the math lol [00:19] gonna loose alot [00:19] so i am trying to conserve [00:19] id order some free cds, but they take 6-8weeks [even though the 5 5.10 cds took a few days [00:21] is anyone going to be in this channel for the next...4-8 hours? [00:21] who knows a great deal about installing kubuntu [00:21] I'd guess that the amount you'd have to download to go from 5.10 to 8.04 would be more than downloading a CD image [00:21] probably [00:22] i'll likely save my essential files, save kubuntu heron [or what ever is newer]..then reformat and beg for help in irc [joking about the last part] === Sixofour|TombRai is now known as Sixofour [00:23] hopefully kubuntu will be able to use my NIC card [00:23] NIC cards are rarely, if ever a problem now [00:23] but ive never had a network card problem with linux [00:23] yeah [00:23] biggest thing are those ATI Radeon x1300 drivers [00:23] which i hear are a sumbich to get working [00:24] is there a theread/faq/tut i can read about ati radeon and kubuntu? [00:24] thread* [00:25] the restricted drivers work well (usually), and besides them there are several open source options [00:25] open source options for an ati radeon x1300? [00:25] yes [00:25] i plan to play steam games with this [00:26] i should be able to play atleast dx8 or 9 yeah? [00:26] with those open source options [00:26] maybe [00:26] i think after kubuntu is up and running ..my only problems will lie with configuring wine [00:26] hopefully [00:27] hopefully you don't need to configure wine [00:27] i last tried kubuntu i think it was summer of the year before last [00:27] 2006 [00:27] i had a few problems, but everything was basicvly great [cept wine compatibilty] [00:27] but io hear wine is tons better and just got a major update, so i got intresrted in kubuntu again [00:28] and i hate the drm/tc/crappyness of windows [00:29] what would you recommend..kubuntu with kde 3 or 4? [00:29] it says kde3 support ends october 2009? [00:29] ends* [00:31] it probably means the support for the current release of Kubuntu will end at that date [00:31] well, i got kde 4.0...kubuntu download will take 24 minutes [00:31] not kde 3 support [00:31] then we can start with the backup process :D [00:32] and getting several gigs of raw wav to comrpess into 700mb [00:32] though i can compress while it downloads [00:33] Beer load [ /] 100% *ding* [00:33] is there a better compression then .rar ? [00:34] hrm , actually [00:35] Whats good about Kubuntu? [00:36] adept keeps crashing in ibex alpha4 [00:36] KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly [00:36] Whats ibex? [00:36] it all i get from konsole [00:38] huh? [00:38] you can try using 7-zip to compress it, or if that's not good enough, you could compress it to FLAC [00:39] intrepid ibex is the next release of kubuntu [00:39] heheh [00:39] 8.10 [00:40] i was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue and had a work around [00:42] anyone use Linux Mint? [00:42] matt__: we do not support intrepid here [00:42] theres no kubuntu+1 [00:42] like there is for ubuntu [00:42] mat__: #ubuntu+1 is the channel [00:43] *matt__ [00:43] if I compile ffmpeg from source, and use the shared libraries option, it will overwrite the currently installed version right? [00:44] Isnt Linux Mint-KDE what Kubuntu should of been?

[00:59] yes, ive followed that guide like 50 times [00:59] and they always failed me [00:59] the one method that finally worked last time (i foundmy notes) was a .sh file called ndiswrapper-setup.sh [00:59] and i got it from ubuntu forums, but cant find it now === yuri_K is now known as Kayel [01:03] #hrops [01:07] does anyone here know how to setup file shareing over a home network..for bacing up files so i can install kubuntu?..windows channel is in ruins atm [01:07] i always thought i did it wrong, but wtf... I just installed kubuntu and there are no repos in my apt config [01:07] in windows xp* [01:07] why would they make it so difficult like that on a fresh install [01:08] omfg, konq sucks as a browser [01:09] sudo apt-get install firefox [01:09] ;) [01:09] firefox not found [01:09] nothing is found [01:09] my repo list if blank [01:09] oh you dont havesources.list [01:09] right [01:09] yeah....

[01:22] i enabled everything [01:22] hrm.... i installed it :/ [01:22] i did too before, dya it was released, but i installed it manually [01:22] figured it would be in repos by now [01:22] click "Fetch Updates" [01:22] it should be in repos [01:23] i did apt-get update [01:23] at least it was for me..... [01:23] ooooh, i remember [01:23] its firefox-3, forgot the - [01:23] or now [01:23] lewl [01:23] not* [01:23] lol [01:24] its -3.0 :S [01:24] try firefox-3.0 [01:24] why would they do that and make it a pita [01:24] lawl [01:24] it should detect the "firefox" and give you close matches [01:24] hrmmmm, thats not found, but this sounds close, install it? [01:24] the "firefox" package actually does install firefox-3.0 [01:24] ahhh, good to know [01:25] like i said earlier... i got used to windows again and nothing works like you would want it to on windows [01:25] erm... it installed the beta :( [01:26] enable -updates [01:26] and apt-get install firefox installs 2.0 [01:26] Hi i have a Sony Ericcsson w200 and when i plug-in i don't see the desktop icon!!!! what's that? [01:27] under the the "Updates" tab [01:27] the firefox checkbox under updates is greyed out [01:28] from Adept -> Manage Repositories [01:28] where is "Use my KDE theme in GTK applications" in 4.1 ???? [01:29] mat__: system settings -> appearance -> gtk styles and fonts [01:29] all checked stdin [01:29] there is not gtk styles and fonts in 4.1 [01:30] dont see it [01:30] I'm looking at it now [01:30] lemme do a screen shot 4u [01:31] anyone know where to get the ndiswrapper script at? i have a bcm4311 and that script is the only thing that ever worked [01:33] matt__: make sure you have gtk-qt-engine-kde4 then [01:33] i knew another distribution where ist was installed Darkrift2 [01:34] but i dont know if you an load it there... [01:35] i think i found it [01:40] if ndiswrapper is installed on a drive, where would the ndiswrapper drivers be located? [01:40] i have some backups of my old drive and id like to try to find those to use [01:41] stdin [01:41] sorry i took sop long [01:41] http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=41di2.png [01:41] I see your screenshot, and raise you another: http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/1976/gtkstylemf2.png [01:42] lol [01:43] mayne because you are on hardy? [01:43] maybe* [01:43] [01:33] matt__: make sure you have gtk-qt-engine-kde4 then [01:43] I am having trouble mounting an ISO image. It seems to mount just fine, but when I try to access it, I get a "Permission Denied" error! [01:43] someone got ripped off :S [01:43] make sure you can read the location where you mounted it [01:44] Reformer81: you need to give it a uid to mount as, otherwise it mounts as root, "sudo mount image.iso -o loop,uid=1000" [01:45] stdin: I've never had to in the past, though. [01:45] i got it heh [01:45] I'll give it a shot, though. [01:45] i hadn installed the package [01:45] depends where you mount it to as to if you need that, but it sounds like you do [01:45] is kde4 readdy to use without any hard bugs? [01:46] stdin: I have an ISO directory (/media/ISO) that I always mount iso's too. [01:47] kde 4.1 in fine imho [01:47] stdin: That did it... strange that I've never once had to do that before, though. [01:47] I made the jump to kde4.1 a couple weeks ago. Some little quirks, but nothing that stops me from working.... [01:48] Video in Kopete seems to be a problem. [01:48] Reformer81: what are the permissions of /media/ISO when nothing is mounted there and after mounting an ISO (normally) ? [01:48] i think i have ta reboot for my gtk fix to take effect in firefox? [01:49] logout/in should do [01:49] what kinda hell will i have to go through to go from 7.10 kd 3.5 to kde 4.1? [01:49] will it be easy? [01:49] 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10 [01:50] that's the full path with intrepid anyway [01:50] cool brb [01:50] otherwise just up to 8.04 and add the KDE 4 PPA [01:50] (instructions in the topic of #kubuntu-kde4) [01:50] oh, cant have 4.1 on kubuntu 7.10? [01:50] will a version upgrade probably work on a fresh install? [01:51] !upgrade [01:51] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:51] that tells you how to get to 8.04 from 7.10 [01:51] sorry, wth means PPA?

[02:23] nalioth [02:24] jucato [02:24] Quick question... upon hearing that 4.1 was released... Id attempted to install KDE4 and had some mixed success. So I am curious, how would I go about removing it so I could attempt to reinstall it? :s [02:25] i think they are almost all sleeoing Elda [02:25] Oh well, might as well put the question out there [02:27] aye [02:27] so after doing a dist upgrade to 8.04 i need to do it again to 8.10 to get kde 4.1 ? === puskom is now known as puskom_ [02:30] dfg fhhkjjk [02:30] tuyhujiu [02:30] yuiui [02:30] dtfdtrtyngbjyh === chiriri is now known as Elda [02:38] i just upgraded to 8.04 but i dont have a version upgrade button anymore :( [02:38] what can i do about that? [02:40] Darkrift2: in Adept ManageR? [02:41] yes [02:41] i want to go to 8.10 now [02:41] !intrepid | Darkrift2 [02:41] Darkrift2: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion. Kubuntu Intrepid will have KDE 4 as the default Desktop Environment - see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidVersion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [02:41] you would need to update your sources.list first [02:41] ahhhh [02:41] manually? [02:42] thats probably quickest, basically replace 'hardy' with 'intrepid' i think [02:44] so i got kubuntu with kde 4.0 instead of 3..did i just give myself more problems? [02:45] Sixofour: possibly. no problem until you come across one however [02:46] how do i set up kubuntu to use windows XP file shareing system so i can retrive files off a backup machine? [02:46] updated sources.list and still dont have that option [02:47] what else needs updating :S [02:47] id figure upgrading your os would upgrade your os's upgrade list also [02:47] Darkrift2: you need to fetch updates [02:47] i have [02:47] !samba | Sixofour [02:47] 3 times [02:47] Sixofour: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[02:47] says no updates available [02:48] i copied the "default 8.04 sources.list" someone pasted on the kubuntu forums [02:48] and then restarted adept [02:48] Darkrift2: this is why they have a channel for intrepid. i'll go in there and find out the reqs [02:48] Darkrift2: pastebin the file please [02:48] the new info shows in the manage screen [02:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=783577 [02:49] the one in the first post [02:50] darkrift_: and did you replace 'hardy' with 'intrepid'in the file ? [02:50] no [02:50] like find and replace? [02:51] yeah, thats what i said before :) then fetch updates [02:51] oooh [02:51] i thought you just meant replace the contents of the file [02:52] negative. and also you do not need to go on the net to get a fresh sources.list, you can simply use the Manage Repositories function in adept [02:53] i c [02:54] i have the "full upgrade" option now, but still no version upgrade === chiriri is now known as Elda [02:54] do that first? [02:55] Darkrift2: um im not sure. i don't recommend doing these kinds of upgrades in Adept either. we generally recommend aptitude [02:55] im down for anything [02:55] just dont know how to do it :S [02:55] guess i should install that [02:56] darkrift_: i went into the #ubuntu+1 channel and they advised sudo do-release-upgrade -d to do the upgrade. please join this channel for support on this [02:57] installing aptitude ugpraded apt and gave me new options in the repo manager [02:57] checking those seems to have made changes [02:58] trying that now [02:58] id rather command line anyways lol [02:58] try to keep your responses on 1 line, darkrift :) [03:00] ls [03:03] lol yuji [03:03] i used to do that a lot [03:03] my irc and console looked a lot alike [03:10] is there a mathematica equivalent in linux? [03:10] bdizzle: for symbolic math? === home_ is now known as meekalbot [03:11] yeah [03:11] and solving / graphing and such [03:11] bdizzle, they have a Linux version -- or at least used to [03:12] bdizzle: maple has a linux version. of course not free [03:12] yeah [03:12] bdizzle: try wxmaxima [03:13] bdizzle: it does symbolic math. not sure about ploting [03:13] kk [03:17] ah, cool [03:20] is there a way i can specify the window title for a window? [03:20] does kde4 let you change the size of your desktop icons? [03:20] thats something ive always hated about kde, large icons :( [03:22] Darkrift2: with kde4.1 there ARE no desktop icons. But you can "emulate" em with a Folder View. Unfortunately, I don't see anyway to change the icon size within a Folder View yet... or switch to another view mode even.

[04:20] you can speak indonesian [04:20] * fujisan yawns [04:21] don't exply replies in a free support channel [04:21] lol [04:21] cok matamu [04:21] exply=expect [04:21] fujisan: http://amarok.kde.org/de/node/485 [04:21] ty [04:21] np [04:22] nnnnnnnnnn [04:22] then why the eff are you here [04:23] who me? [04:23] i want my wrench so i installed kubuntu [04:24] ok guys [04:25] 74Gb hard drive [04:25] formatting the whole thing, what kind of partitions should i make? [04:25] 2gb swap, 2gb os, rest data? [04:25] kubuntu with kde4.0 [04:25] is what i got [04:26] Sixofour: please ask your question on 1 line [04:26] sorry [04:26] i typed as i thought of them [04:26] you can just let it auto part in the installer [04:26] on't exply replies in a free support channel, so don't expect question in oneliners :-) [04:27] can it give my back the 6 Gb of utility space on my drive? [04:27] i would recommend a large / fs so you can install programs you need [04:27] !requirements | Sixofour this might help you a bit more on the disk space default install needs [04:27] Sixofour this might help you a bit more on the disk space default install needs: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [04:27] a large /fs? [04:28] filesystem [04:28] so, that link still doesn't tell me , based on user expriense, what is the best way to do this [04:28] it says kubuntu needs 8 Gb :O [04:28] the cd is 700MB [04:29] fujisan: its part of the rules [04:29] thats correct [04:29] How does that work? [04:29] You cram 8 GB into 700mb? [04:30] um i guess the image is compressed or something, not sure to be honest [04:30] not really flaccid it's not a rule that a question has to be one line, it's just a rule not to spam, and therefore not to use enter as punctuation, there is a distinct difference [04:30] does that include swap? [04:30] fujisan: it comes under no flooding [04:30] it doesn't specify if that 8gb is part of the linux swap [04:30] a 2 line question isn't flooding [04:30] over all..10gb for the os is kinda bloated don't ya think? [04:31] fujisan: we generally consider 4 lines or more flooding. still the factoid is there for a reason and we encourage people to do this for other peoples benefit [04:32] So is anyone here who is able to help me trhough this kub untu install process? [04:33] kubuntu* [04:33] its pretty self explanatory, unless you are dual-booting [04:33] Sixofour: well yeah i would recommend at least 6gb for / (because /home is on there too) [04:33] so 2 swap and 6gb for os? [04:34] the installer will do it all for you, but you are welcome to do it manually if you like === C3333877 is now known as chalcedony [04:34] yeah thats what i would probably do (although i do more for os because i install a lot of stuff) [04:34] i only have 80gb HD..i don't want installer to gobble up all my space for utility [04:34] Thanks to who ever helped me [04:34] 80gb is still a lot of space [04:34] why don't i just do two partitions? [04:34] CPrgmSwR2: all good now? [04:35] does Os really need its own partitioon? [04:35] Sixofour: you could do a separate /home if you wanted yes [04:35] yes [04:35] well its not an OS part, its / (root) [04:35] cool [04:35] I even have aiglx enabled for kde4 with an ati card [04:35] so what i am saying is, 2gb swap and the other 72gb for the rest [two partitions] [04:35] and its working quite well [04:35] its so awsome [04:36] i have an ati radeon x1300 heh [04:36] i may need help later :D [04:36] 6GB of my disk is already hidden for utility, [thank dell for that] [04:37] would #ubuntu be a better place for this?..kubuntu seems kinda..dead right now hejh [04:37] Sixofour: sounds good [04:37] and i will likely have fourtyleven questions [04:37] i don't see a problem Sixofour [04:38] well, i'll do 2gb swap and the rest for data [incl OS] [04:38] !installation | Sixofour [04:38] Sixofour: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [04:38] lots of doco to assist you [04:39] yeah, but spending hours looking for an answer to every question gets tedious [04:39] btw..installing kubuntu only has 4 steps o.O [04:40] Sixofour: ubuntu can be a good place to ask, but they don't know a lot about kde-stuff. The desktop agnostic stuff yo ushould be able to get answers for [04:40] i don't understand why you have all these questions. the installer is pretty self explanatory/intuitive [04:40] last time i installed kubuntu [2 years ago] i had to put in 400 different commands [04:40] this is why i anticipate questions [04:41] thats kinda also why i left kubuntu a week later [04:41] its much developed since then [04:41] i know, i was waiting on Wine to be honest [04:42] it didn't do crap 2 years ago [04:51] is it going any easier this time around Sixofour? [04:51] should be [04:51] I installed kubuntu before windows, but the kubuntu is now missing from boot option. What should I do? [04:51] yeah, you have to install windows first, then kubuntu [04:51] windows gets greedy and wipes grub [04:52] !fixgrub | sancho21 [04:52] sancho21: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:53] just be careful when doing the partitions, that seems to be the only area people get messed up [04:53] ubotto: Thanks, I'll check it out. [04:53] so your saying it hasn't gotten any easyer bdizzle? [04:53] eh, its all point and click [04:53] how do i save changes in nano file quit doesnt prompt me with the question if i want to save my changes? [04:53] oh, then why ask if it is going to be easyer this time around? [04:53] curious [04:54] but its too easy for someone to keep hitting "next" and if you're dual-booting, over-write the entire hard drive [04:54] bdizzle: Yeah, once I've tried my tricks but suddenly Ubuntu can only see blank partition (fresh). Although I still have windows on my computer [04:54] i'm wiping the whole drive === root is now known as Guest31774 [04:54] oh, hell, then click away [04:54] lol [04:54] i'm just uploading stuff to our network atm [04:54] if you're dual-booting, its still easier than trying to set up a new partition at installation for windows [04:54] fujisan: ^O (F3) Write the current file to disk [04:55] f3? [04:55] windows does't like the average user to use partitions apparently [04:55] just f3 [04:55] or ctrl+O [04:55] windows is windows [04:55] true [04:55] isnt there a texteditor i can use instead flaccid something like gedit? [04:55] isn't xorb a text editor? [04:55] probably not [04:56] x [04:56] !editors | fujisan [04:56] fujisan: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [04:56] I do use dual booting [04:56] fujisan: i use kate in gui, joe in cli [04:56] kate is it [04:58] kate is nice [04:58] it has both GUI and CLI at the bottom of it [04:59] but, i don't think wine is "point and click" to make it work yet [04:59] damn near close [04:59] wine is not bad now, it all depends on the support of the particular program [04:59] hardest part is making FLStudio work [04:59] most people have gotten WoW to work [04:59] i need it for steam and music software [04:59] i don't even know if ASIO drivers work on linux [04:59] check the wine app database [05:00] i did [05:00] ASIO? [05:00] it just said "it works" with no guide or anything lol [05:00] then trust it [05:00] and then work from there [05:00] flaccid i am trying to edit my sources list but ctrl+o just saves it with a different filename e.g. sources.list.save.1 [05:00] ASIO is a drive that makes music processing more effecient, my sound card is shit and i use the processor [flstudio uses the processor also] [05:01] Sixofour: i just checked the appdb and there is howtos and comments from people etc. its pretty good [05:01] not for all programs [05:01] well, steam might have some howtos [05:01] fujisan: are you editing under sudo? [05:01] yes [05:01] Sixofour: there is also google :) [05:01] google requires that magical word to find relevent results [05:01] :D [05:02] you mean, "I feel lucky? [05:02] no..i mean, finding what you want in google is hard because you have to find the right words to use [05:02] yeah this is driving me insane :/ this is worse than vista UAC [05:02] generally [05:02] true, there are too many sites that have spammed it recently. its sad [05:02] as a rule of thumb, its best to not expect windows apps to work in wine, its a bonus when they do however. one day maybe ableton live will run [05:03] fujisan: open the folder as root, then edit sources.list [05:03] there should be an option on the right of dolphin to do it [05:03] fujisan: well not really. kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list is pretty easy to use [05:03] well, now a days people generally say its hard to find a program that doesn't work in wine [05:04] yeah it wont let me save when using kate === zz is now known as Guest15013 [05:05] bdizzle: i am using kde4 btw [05:05] fujisan: what is the error? [05:05] oh [05:05] the error is that i need permission [05:06] um, yeah, then command line, not sure what it is in kde4 [05:06] fujisan: ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list please [05:06] yeah i did the commandline [05:06] it failed on me [05:09] i dont get what you mean by that flaccid? [05:09] i would like to see the output of ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list [05:09] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3442 2008-08-27 08:42 /etc/apt/sources.list [05:10] and you are telling me doing kdesudo kate ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list and trying to save you get permission denied ? [05:10] oops [05:10] no [05:10] i mean kdesudo etc/apt/sources.list [05:10] sudo nano etc/sources.list works but it will create a new file [05:11] when i save the output [05:11] i just want it to work with nano [05:11] ok let me try [05:12] fujisan: i did sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and then pressed f3 and pressed enter (same filename) and it saved without a problem [05:13] yeah on kde3 [05:13] has nothing to do with the DE [05:14] so how can i open a dir with permission in dolphin? [05:14] with permission? [05:14] yeah [05:14] so that i can delete files [05:14] you can do root dolphin with kdesudo dolphin [05:15] Anyone know why my kde4.1/kubuntu 8.10 built in wifi manager shows my ap, but doesnt connect to it? it puts it in the context menu like its connected but it says "state: disconnected" and I canot get it to connnect [05:15] Darkrift2: #kubuntu-kde4 for kde4 support please [05:16] looking for wifi support, not kde support.. kde 4 is working fine for me. I was just giving background os information [05:17] well i would imagine that intrepid has different networking etc. so you might have better luck in #ubuntu+1 as this is for hardy and prior [05:19] is kubuntu-kde4-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso the right iso for the latest non-beta type release? [05:20] Sixofour: yep [05:30] hola [05:30] !es | luis [05:30] luis: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [05:30] ok [05:31] can I toggle windows permission bits for hidden on a fat 32 volume, from linux? [05:31] Since windows doesn't adhere to the dot file convention. [05:38] gkffjcs: what do you mean, i don't get it? [05:39] fat32 doesn't have permissions [05:39] in ms windows if I select properties, on a file I can check box the file as hidden, ms doesn't use the dot standard [05:39] if I have a mounted fat32 or ntfs [05:39] is there a [05:39] way I could essentially check that box form linuc [05:39] x [05:39] hmmm [05:40] I know it wouldn't be hidden linux, but it would be hidden in windows the next time I reboot [05:40] did you google? [05:40] yeah, it's was really not so helpful [05:44] i can't find anything either [05:45] yeah, it seem like some one would have figured this out, but what ever, it's not critical, thanks! [05:48] is it safe to upgrade to kde 4.1 from 4.0? [05:50] I think most people skipped 4.0 and waited for 4.1 [05:50] YES!!!!! tony_ what are you waiting for do it, do it, do it!!!!! [05:51] i tried kubuntu alpha 4 and was working great except mythtv so i went back to 8.04. is it safe to upgrade to 4.1 w/out breaking mythtv? [05:52] I have no Idea, why would i break myth? It might be a video card problem, or try disabling the fancy graphics [05:53] but if there's a myth issue, If your really woried try installing virtual box, and testing it all in a vm first [05:53] idk but myth seems very touchy. it's hard for me to do a successful install so wanna make sure nothings going to screw it up [05:54] honestly, I have been using kde4.1 for a while now, and I have not complaints, but if you have issues wiht myth, that is something you know morea bout than i [05:56] gkffjcs: i think it was more to do with 8.10 alpha, not exactly kde 4.1 [05:56] oh, sorry, I didn't notice the 8.10 === pgib is now known as Guest39322 [05:57] yeah, If your using this as a machine, that needs to be in working condition then i think it's safest to leave the system on 8.04 [05:58] infact 8.04 is an lts, if this is a server I'de jsut leave it on 8.04 until 10. what ever comes out the next lts [05:58] so is it recommended to upgrade to 4.1 before i install any apps? i don't want myth screwed up [05:59] one second your confusing me, what are your running right now? [05:59] One of my very important shortcuts has been co-opted by Kopete. I am using OO and trying to type Ctrl-Shift-S to Save As, and instead Kopete pop-up from the tray. Any thoughts? [06:00] gkffjcs: kubuntu 8.04 w/ kde 4.0 [06:00] ok, then keep 8.04, and add the ppa repos, and upgrade you kde4 to kde4.1, it shouldn't hurt myth since myth is not a kde app [06:01] thanks guys [06:02] corigo: just disable that shortcut for kopete [06:02] corigo: if OO was a kde app, it would give you a helpful warning [06:02] Like, where, level1? [06:02] In Kopete? [06:02] corigo: yeh [06:03] corigo: kopete > settings > configure shortcuts [06:03] I don't see it in the list of shortcuts [06:04] you're right [06:04] corigo: try system settings [06:05] => keyboard and mouse [06:05] => keyboard shortcuts [06:05] yeah, anybody that is using kde 4.0 should either update to 4.1 or downgrade to 3.5. [06:06] wow level1: jsut had to raine no my paraid???? ;-) [06:06] i'd agree. 4.1 is lots better than 4.0 [06:07] not listed there either [06:07] really? [06:07] corigo: you have to change the combo box to kopete [06:08] level1: ??? combo box? [06:08] tony_: its like, any argument against upgrading to 4.1 is an argument for downgrading to 3.5 [06:08] qed [06:08] KDE component: [06:08] it says configuration of keybindings, then it has two bottons, then it has the combo box [06:09] mine is on kmix right now [06:09] i was kind of hesitant about where kde's going until i installed 4.1. i like the direction [06:09] tony_: everything I thought i wasn't gonna work, like dolphin, turned out great [06:09] tony_: but i'm becoming disappointed in my old friend konqueror [06:09] how do I emote? [06:10] level1: ok, then how? [06:11] * level1 is dumbfounded [06:11] Found it. [06:11] haha [06:11] level1: yeah. i like vista but still, i'm heading towards using kubuntu full time. i switched to on-board sound yesterday and vista told me i basically wasn't legit. had to call ms [06:11] *has to go? [06:11] Ok, now how to update to 4.1? [06:11] lame is lame [06:11] I don't think I actually gave konqueror a chance, just kept using firefox [06:11] bdizzle: yeah [06:12] bdizzle: I'm gonna start using firefox more, but i got really used to konqueror starting up instantly [06:12] I want that in firefox [06:12] * level1 emotes [06:12] it does that because of that way konqueror is built [06:12] "/gkffjcs emotes" [06:12] firefox immediately looks for the web [06:12] konqueror waits for you to tell it to go to the web [06:13] Konqueror cant display internet page..but i can ping.. [06:13] * gkffjcs emotes [06:13] tony_: I'm suprised at how much the kde team took from vista [06:13] * gkffjcs NIce!!! [06:13] yatta! [06:13] corigo: i think you have to edit your sources.list. it'll say on kubuntu site [06:13] heh [06:13] tony_: there is a way to do it from the gui now [06:13] level1: yes, it's somewhat disappointing [06:13] * gkffjcs Needs to get up by 8:00 tomorrow!! good night all! [06:13] level1: how? [06:13] bdizzle: I don't think that is true [06:13] well, I mean, its either a) steal from Vista b) steal from OSX, or c) make your own [06:13] tony_: through adept [06:14] bdizzle: I don't think its really fair to critizise for taking ideas from other operating systems [06:14] oh, I'm not critizising [06:14] otherwise we'll end up with a dozen mediocre operating systems each with its own nice features === subin is now known as Buiss [06:15] like, MacOS and search, or compositing [06:15] I'm simply stating that those are pretty much the choices. Hell, look at how much Apple and MS stole from each other over the years [06:15] if only Apple had the rights to that, then linux and windows could never compete [06:15] in the end, Apple is the only real innovator anyway [06:15] * level1 :) [06:15] lol [06:16] eh, Apple tries to make everything look pretty and succeeds. Linux tries to make it all work, and usually succeeds. Windows tries to do both, and usually fails [06:16] bdizzle: I've never been impressed with linux's ability to make it all work [06:17] Mac is way ahead of us, and even windows can hold its own when you buy from dell [06:17] I am, consider its not funded by anything really [06:17] Mac and Windows have what, thousands of thousands of paid workers to make their stuff [06:17] well, you can't say a handcapped person is the fastest guy in the world if you consider that he's handicapped [06:17] that doesn't really mean anything [06:17] true [06:18] LOL bdizzle, i love how you put that [06:18] why? [06:18] i triple boot osx, linux, and vista. i'd say vista is my fav, and linux second. osx makes me feel gay and retarded [06:18] Darkrift2: did you mean me? [06:18] [22:15:45] lol [06:18] [22:16:20] eh, Apple tries to make everything look pretty and succeeds. Linux tries to make it all work, and usually succeeds. Windows tries to do both, and usually fails [06:18] how do i change the terminal font? i don't see it under system>preferences>font [06:18] sorry [06:18] meant to paste 1 line [06:18] oh yeah [06:18] chipbuddy: thats specific to your terminal [06:19] well, I mean, from my understanding, with the exception of Fedora and Red Hat, most of linux is made by people who work with it on their spare time, its not their main job in life [06:19] chipbuddy: are you using konsole? [06:19] i'm actually using the gnome terminal [06:19] I'm not saying that's a bad thing [06:19] man, all my other stuff .rared fast, but my pron has taken an hour to .rar [06:19] just says something when you can say that your work is actually able to compete with the two major players [06:19] LOL [06:19] its just images :/ [06:19] chipbuddy: yeah, its specific to the gnome terminal, so look there. You wouldn't find gnome stuff in kde anyway [06:19] your pron is already compressed [06:19] chipbuddy: why are you asking this on #kubuntu? [06:19] rar is working harder to shove all those nude females into one space [06:20] well i have some ivdeos in there..lol [06:20] but ./jpg imagens can be compressed more [06:20] some videos* [06:20] level1: oh i see... ok i found it. yeah i know it's bad from to ask gnome questions in kubuntu... but this channel is way more awesome [06:20] there was a joke once about that [06:20] man tying [06:20] typing* [06:20] Is there any way to check if root account is enabled? [06:20] Sixofour: images and video are already compressed. In theory, you should not be able to compressed already compressed stuff more [06:21] chipbuddy: well, since this kind of issues is *so* gnome specific, you should at least mention that its gnome [06:21] something about how does a nerd get a hundred nude females into one place, by zipping up his porn folders [06:21] lol [06:21] pretty much the only way its going to happen [06:21] tiberius_: log into it? [06:21] i didn't realize it was gnome specific [06:21] it was funnier with the images [06:22] me-eh... someone needs a content delivery system for porn [06:22] like apt [06:22] or k get hot new stuff [06:22] open source porn [06:22] would be nice [06:22] LOL [06:22] creative commons pron [06:23] let all men fap equally!!! [06:23] LOL [06:23] wow [06:23] level1: I think I enabled it a while back, not sure, so I don't know the password, if there is one. [06:23] man: "I wrote a program that allows you to download porn 6 times faster" woman: "Why would you want that?" [06:23] these woman would eb shared and freely distrubted [06:23] im imagining the command line version for the uber nerds without x [06:23] ascii porn [06:23] lol [06:23] Darkrift2: I wanted to do that [06:24] theres a website that does it [06:24] you upload a picture and it makes it into ascii art [06:24] ascii art converter [06:24] doesnt do a bad job either [06:24] Darkrift2: create a web browser that outputs all webpages in a special cypher I wrote [06:24] so can KDE4 do sexy desktop effects? [06:24] Darkrift2: so I can read unsafe stuff without people reading over my sholder [06:24] nice [06:25] Darkrift2: the cypher is simple enough to be read without any work [06:25] you just have to know the trick [06:25] Sixofour: [06:25] ? [06:25] Sixofour: yeah... not all of the effects of compiz, but its still very nice [06:25] what is compiz? [06:25] Sixofour: I perfer it over compiz [06:25] heh [06:25] lol [06:25] compiz is the sexy desktop effects program [06:25] Sixofour: anytime you see sexy desktop effects for linux, its compiz [06:25] there is a program you can get for kde..forgot what its called [06:25] linux eyecandy [06:26] maby it is compiz i am thinking of [06:26] Sixofour: its default in kde 4 [06:26] what i really want it unique icon sizes [06:26] lol [06:26] Sixofour: the kde team wanted to create a compiz that didn't, um, suck [06:26] important stuff icons are huge, and rare programs i use are tiny [06:26] Sixofour: what do you mean, icon sizes? [06:26] LOL [06:26] oh [06:27] thats not really a compiz thing [06:27] Sixofour, i think thats gnome :S [06:27] i got the idea off youtube, some dude had icons thast were like 300x200 or something [06:27] it was in kubuntu [06:27] lol [06:27] you would need some non-default software to do it [06:27] let me find the video [06:27] yeah [06:27] plasma might be able to do it soon [06:27] depends on what it is you really mean [06:28] and the ability to remove the text from the icons..so it looks like i just got a pile of crap on my desktop lol [06:28] what i mean is the ability to set the demsions of the icons [06:28] dimensions [06:28] well, plasma has that but it sucks [06:28] and you can't disable the text I think [06:29] how hard is it really to code the ability to resize icons? [06:29] probably hard [06:29] lol [06:29] they would have to recode the grid also [06:29] because different size icons woudlnt stack the same [06:29] grid shmid..can't you turn that off? [06:29] Sixofour: do you have kde 4? [06:29] i will soon [06:29] its actually pretty easy [06:29] on XP..backing up my stuff, then installing kubuntu [06:29] just drag the icon to the desktop [06:30] then make it bigger [06:30] you understand once you have it [06:30] as for deleting text [06:30] not an option [06:30] at this point [06:30] I guess you could rename it to nothing [06:31] installing 7.10 for the second time today [06:31] got tired of 8.10/kde4 [06:31] going to do 7.10>8.04 and stay there [06:31] Darkrift2: why not just get 8.04? [06:31] no more media to burn it to [06:31] and i have a 7.10 dvd [06:31] 8.10 is super alpha, no suprise you didn't like it [06:32] i liked it [06:32] calmeichon cabro [06:32] but it didnt like my wifi [06:32] and adept didnt work [06:32] it really failed to detect my graphics card correctly [06:32] q no se va a caer na .... [06:32] apt gave tons of errors [06:32] is adept kde 4 now? [06:32] looked and ran good besides that [06:32] !es | jorgesandra [06:32] jorgesandra: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

Obrigado. [06:32] thanks [06:33] Darkrift2: well, kde 4.1 is great... you might want to try to install it on 8.04 [06:33] lol, wrong guess [06:33] not if it has the same network manager :@ [06:33] it doesn't [06:33] it has the kde 3 one [06:33] and anyway, kde isn't responsible if the wifi doesn't work [06:33] !punctuation | level1 [06:33] level1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:34] wifi worked in 7.10 and 8.04 and my networks showed up but was always state:disconnected [06:36] KDE 3 detected my broadcom wireless on my laptop but not the intel IPW wireless on another laptop [06:37] neither did the dlink wireless card work. The tweaks on the internet are so difficult for me to follow [06:37] they need to write a "smart" irc...so that when you type one liners, the server/clients automaticly update it and add it to the previous line [06:37] omg [06:37] i just made a million dollar idea [06:38] agree Sixfour [06:38] mil: did you install the proprietary dirvers for IpW? [06:38] ipw3945 ftw! [06:39] Sixofour: that would be easy, except people would get their knickers in a twist about irc clients changing what other people were saying [06:40] lol [06:40] finally pron is done [06:40] it was 4.6 Gb [06:40] now lets look at it [06:41] lol [06:41] level 1 yes tried to but could not complete it coz it required removing the previously installed driver line that accompanied the latest kernels [06:41] !bcm43xx [06:41] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [06:42] darkrift_: evil twin or secret alter ego?

[06:47] i thought my bcm4311 did [06:47] thanks ubottu the smart 'bot' hehe [06:47] it always took soo much to get it working [06:47] it seems "noapic nolapic" are all it needed [06:47] Darkrift2: you know you won't get power management now right? [06:47] yeah i do [06:49] ok, upgrading to 8.04 now [06:49] lets hope it all works :) [06:49] going slow though... 650k dl :( [06:49] i was going to go from 5.10 to 8.04 [06:49] lol [06:49] i did it earlier [06:49] god thats horrible [06:49] sucked? [06:50] but i kept going to 8.10 like someone told me to.... and that was a bad idea [06:50] ubuntu doesn't have an "upgrade" button yet? [06:50] Sixofour: if you gonna do that, just use debootstrap [06:50] so im doing 7.10 to 8.04 agaiun [06:50] yes it does Sixofour [06:50] im dong it now [06:50] doing* [06:50] no, i have a 8.04 iso [06:50] lol [06:50] need to burn it === jorgesandra is now known as no [06:50] somepeople think that reinstalling is better than updating [06:50] oh, i see.. i have 7.10 and im out of discs, do i used my 7.10 and doing dist upgrade now [06:51] its a fresh install, i dont see how it could be different [06:51] i have 5.10 cds i got forn free [06:51] install>upgrade all in the first 10 minutes [06:51] they sent like 50 [06:51] i guess i added an extra 0 [06:53] majn i hope steam and flstudio just 'work' [06:53] in wine [06:53] Sixofour: I can say a thing or two about steam [06:53] !topic [06:53] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [06:53] p_quarles: this is on topic [06:53] what can you tellme? [06:54] I hate to be a scold, but this is off-topic, and there is little respect for punctuation rules [06:54] huh? [06:54] this causes people like me to leave instead of idling in wait for actual support questions on Kubuntu -- not good [06:54] because someone talks about running programs on kubuntu? [06:54] p_quarles: whether or not a program works in wine or not is a legitamate question. [06:54] level1, for #wine [06:55] ... [06:55] wine says "appDB" [06:55] lol [06:55] out of curiosity, any news on what is going on with Ibex? [06:56] level1 join #wine then tell me lol [07:01] what is the best program to use to make a cd from the kubuntu iso? [07:01] i don't think ive ever made an iso into a cd :/ [07:02] k3b? [07:02] Sixofour, k3b or Brasero in Linux; I like infrarecorder and imgburn in Windows [07:02] power goes out at home. roommate has problems using [my] computer afterwards, has her semi-tech-savvy friend come over to see if he can do anything while im not there. he ends up calling me, and starts with "ok, dude... i dont know vista, but this is some wicked shit". im running kubuntu. [07:02] imgburn where can i get that safly? [07:03] lol sparr [07:03] www.imgburn.com ;) [07:04] lol [07:09] so, i'm going to install kubuntu soon..if i don't return, that means i failed and my computer exploded [07:10] and i will be suing kubuntu [07:10] how can i get kde['s mixer] to stop overriding my "alsactl store"d mixer settings? every time i reboot my output devices are muted once kde starts. [07:10] kubuntu is too smart to let you survive such an explosion [07:10] it better be [07:11] or i'm going to sue it so hard my nose will grow and my hair will curl [07:12] i hope imgburn knows this needs to be a bootable cd [07:13] Sixofour, it doesn't need to know; just burn the image to the disk; the rest is an attribute of the CD image itself; the "make a bootable image" thing isn't needed [07:13] ok [07:13] i'll burn this, then restart my computer [07:20] hi guys. i'm having an issue with x server failing to start at boot. i'm getting kdm errors and then it loads to multiuser mode. running most up to date 8.04. the machine froze unexpectedly and all. i'm currently running a previous image currently. don't know where to begin here to find out why x is crashing. [07:22] how can i check the encodig of a file? i have copied data from a dvd and have no files like "Grne Idylle.bmp" [07:23] noaXess, you can get some info with the "file" command (file /path/to/file) [07:24] p_quarles: aha.. [07:24] but the encodig? Gr�ne Idylle.bmp: PC bitmap data, Windows 3.x format, 800 x 600 x 24 [07:24] or how can i change all the � to the needed letter.. here ü? [07:25] it's a Win .bmp file; that's all there is to it, I think [07:25] the same way you just changed it? [07:25] Sixofour: i have copied this data from a dvd to my system.. the dvd was created on win [07:26] i was refering to that symbol [07:26] so you want to batch rename files? [07:26] he wants the encoding of a dvd [07:26] i think [07:27] p_quarles: yes [07:27] if i insert the dvd, the files look same as on my hd [07:27] noaXess, take a look at krename (in the repos) [07:29] p_quarles: ok.. will check and rename.. === emma_ is now known as emma === alucardr1mero is now known as cheese === cheese is now known as tomatoe === tomatoe is now known as littletortillabo === littletortillabo is now known as liltortillaboy [07:33] Ugh... I have to disconnect [07:38] p_quarles: its heavy to search and replace for this sign í»­ cause it ar two of them [07:40] look at this p_quarles: http://files.wmx.ch/upload/jpg/70_sign.jpg [07:41] noaXess, no, you're definitely correct that this is an issue caused by text encoding differences between Win and Linux; I just can't think of anything better than renaming, sorry [07:41] yes.. but all files manually?.. :).. [07:42] can search and replace for this sign.. cause the first sign is allways linked to the letter before it [07:42] noaXess, you might be able to figure out a way of catching everything with regex; just be careful with that (or have everything backed up first) [07:42] no prob.. dvd still here ;) [07:45] p_quarles: do you use krename a lot? [07:45] how cani enalbe the regex.. i activate it, but the edit button is still unusable [07:46] Finally, got it. [07:46] noaXess, I have never used it, actually; it just came up in the repo search I did [07:46] Sorry about the rapid name changes and disconnects. [07:46] p_quarles: okay [07:47] p_quarles: to my first question..how can i findout the encoding of those files.. cause krename has a encodig conversation plugin [07:49] noaXess, the "encoding" question was misleading, and everyone thought you meant media encoding formats :) [07:49] does kubuntu have a ftp server built in? [07:49] i thought before i was able to ftp to this laptop with just my username/pw but connection is refused [07:49] p_quarles: no.. [07:50] that said, the text is ASCII, and to the best of my knowledge, the difference is a filesystem difference, not a text encoding difference at the file level [07:50] hm.. [07:50] DarkriftX, no it doesn't; an out-of-the-box ftp server would be a tremendoulsy bad idea :) [07:50] as bad as an out of the box ssh server? [07:51] DarkriftX, worse, and Kubuntu doesn't come with an ssh server either [07:51] really [07:51] i dont remember installing anythingh [07:51] that sucks [07:54] hi I just updated a system from 7.10 to 8.04 and its crashing on me. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-systemsettings/+bug/134187 [07:54] Launchpad bug 134187 in kde-systemsettings "System Settings sometimes crash in Kubuntu 7.10" [Undecided,Fix released] [08:00] hey all, i've got a problem. after i installed some new updates, now KDE won't start. in the loading screen evrything loades except KDE, any ideas? thanks [08:00] right now i'm in console mode [08:08] hey all, i've got a problem. after i installed some new updates, now KDE won't start. in the loading screen evrything loades except KDE, any ideas? thanks [08:16] anyone..? === desti_T2 is now known as desti === crono is now known as Sixofour [08:20] It didn't explode!

[08:23] can anyone help me? [08:23] Ask your question, don't ask if you can ask a question. [08:23] already asked my question [08:23] oh, i didn't see it, sorry. [08:23] what was it? [08:23] i've just installed the new updates and now KDE won't start [08:24] and update for KDE?, which version [08:24] unfortunately, i have no idea what updates those were [08:24] i have kde 4 [08:25] how are you talking to me now? [08:25] console mode [08:25] ah, ouch [08:25] well, i kinda just started with kubuntu 5 minutes ago, so i don't know [08:25] i am sure someone here knows [08:26] hopefully, thanks anyways [08:27] What samba stuff do i need to retrive files from a windows xp machine, i got 5 results for samba :( [08:39] у мну вопрос, люди, помогите плиз: установил audacity при запуске и последующей попытке удаления пишет update-mime-database: symbol lookup error: update-mime-database: undefined symbol: g_log_set_default_handler [08:43] so basicly..kubuntu uses 300mb of ram when idle?

[08:50] its running extremely slow [08:50] and its glitchy and generally crappy atm [08:53] Sixofour: goto hardware drivers manager and enable the restricted driver if there is one [08:53] anyone know why xorg keeps using so much cpu on kubuntu 8.04? [08:53] can anyone recommend a funky osX style launcher? [08:54] i did flaccid [08:54] ok [08:54] baudthief: you tried awn? [08:54] tony xorg is horrible [08:54] its running 4 times using 95Mb ram each [08:54] tony_: haven't tried any yet ;p [08:55] baudthief: i tried awn. not bad but still like kde's kicker [08:59] tony_: actually nevermind, I just discovered alt+space [08:59] handy :P [09:00] super-cala-freakinawesome more like it [09:00] is video driver really the only option for making kubuntu run better? [09:01] its using like 300 process, most are using 5+ mb ram [09:01] Sixofour: running 126 processes here, and thats a full-fleged 1 year old kubuntu install, with lots of useless shit :p [09:01] ...including compiz/emerald lol [09:02] like...man [09:02] i have 1.2gb ram and 2.5ghz processor..kubuntu shouldn't even stutter [09:02] 2.5GHz! That's like, sooooo last century ;p [09:02] lol [09:03] how bad is it? [09:03] it should be enough to run kubuntu decent [09:03] everything is just..slow [09:03] ya, my 1.7GHz centrino laptop (1GB ram) runs beautifully [09:03] i move a window..it takes a minute [09:03] hard disk access during the move? or just very slow redraw? [09:03] i mouse over something for a tool tip..system stutters [09:03] maby its video [09:04] windows garble when i move them until i let go [09:04] hmm... wouldn't hurt to try a proprietary driver, but even the run-of-the-mill framebuffer driver shouldnt be THAT slow [09:04] i'm using propritary [09:04] for ATi [09:04] you're WHAT!? :P [09:05] maybe your harddisk is running under PIO and not DMA [09:05] ati accelerated graphics drive [09:05] whats your CPU like? [09:05] *utilisation [09:05] its like? [09:05] xorg is useing 0% when my pc is idle..and krunner is always using 7% [09:05] ctrl+escape, and order by user% [09:05] weird [09:05] i forgot how to get back into system monitor [09:06] ah there [09:06] what happens if you kill krunner :p [09:06] it'd probably set fire to your dog or something hey [09:06] system monitor crashed [09:06] lol [09:07] actually..it did, it won't start anymore [09:07] frustrating :p [09:07] aw wtf did you make me do? [09:07] ctrl+esc does nothing [09:07] well technically I didnt MAKE you do anything, in fact, I'm just a figment of your imagination [09:07] try alt+f2 and type "ksysguard" [09:08] whoa... ksysguard is cool [09:08] this thing keeps poping up [09:08] i've never tried it before [09:08] hardware driver window [09:08] alt+f12 does nothing [09:08] alt+f2 [09:09] hardware drivers window keeps poping up....damnit -_- [09:09] whats it telling you :P [09:09] that a proprietry drive is in use, alt+f2 does nothing [09:10] wow, I'd say you're pretty jacked there - maybe time to reinstall windows lol [09:10] nah fuck that [09:10] though windows does run better [09:10] haha, good on yer [09:10] !language [09:10] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [09:10] right now kubuntu is running about as bad as vista [09:10] yeah these little issues are frustrating, especially when you cant find a resolution [09:10] or maby its my imagination [09:11] I had a damn good ATi card at one point, but I couldnt get help with proprietary drivers, so I threw it out and bought a nVidia... everything works === mandragor is now known as weedar [09:11] and I'm only $300 short :P [09:12] how come you couldn't get help? [09:12] well none of the help I received actually err, helped I guess [09:12] little issues like yours nobody could resolve [09:12] lol [09:13] how is killing krunner and it destroy my hotkeys related to ati drivers? [09:13] it probably isn't lol [09:13] on the upside if you replace your entire PC, everything would probably start working :P [09:14] replace with what? [09:14] another PC maybe? with an arbitrary hardware configuration [09:14] ok..what the fuck, console doesn't work either [09:15] wtf did i kill? [09:15] whats krunner? [09:15] nothing works since you told me to kill it [09:15] I asked what would happen if you killed it lol, can be fixed by restarting X though [09:16] ctrl+alt+backspace should respawn everything after restarting X [09:16] * baudthief runs [09:18] is there any way to make ctrl+alt+backspace require a password? [09:18] or any process that shuts down or restarts the pc or desktop [09:19] I've never actually heard of that [09:19] * baudthief googles [09:21] hmm it appears as though you can disable the power button, and ctrl+alt+* modifiers, etc [09:21] but to shutdown you'd haveto issue the shutdown command as an admin [09:21] ie: sudo shutdown -r now [09:21] good, how? [09:22] something like this : http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/ [09:22] :P [09:24] hooray I'm back to browsing directories using Konqueror and not shitty dolphin [09:24] dolphin [09:24] Finally got the "sort by filetype" option back lol [09:24] i already know i won't like it [09:24] it's installed by default with kubuntu 8.04 [09:24] annoying as hell man [09:24] i know :( [09:25] its pretty easy to change back [09:25] this doesn't elt me disable ctrl+alt+backspace [09:26] you'll need to edit xorg.conf for that [09:26] Under "ServerFlags" just change the value of dontzap to yes [09:26] how do i do that? [09:27] alt+f2, then kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:28] kate is an invalid command..lol? [09:28] try kedit :p [09:29] command not found.. o.O [09:29] wtf [09:29] kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf <--command not found [09:29] hmm [09:29] try openning a shell and doing: sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:30] might be complaining about kdesu [09:30] sudo: kate: command not found [09:32] god dammit, what other text editors are available under kubuntu [09:32] unless you're lying [09:33] and you're running UBUNTU! [09:33] kwrite... [09:33] i got it open in kate, there is no "server flags" [09:33] baudthief: http://www.xnowherex.com/images/sort_by_type.jpeg [09:33] Sixofour: add it a'la this tutorial: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ctrlaltbackspace-from-restarting-x-in-gnome.html === ubuntu__ is now known as ForgeAus [09:33] dwidmann: FAKE! [09:33] dalphin gives me an error message ... [09:33] but seriously, how did you get that option lol [09:34] baudthief: by using dolphin instead of d3lphin :) [09:34] god dammit lol [09:34] I had no idea there was a dolphin variant called d3lphin [09:35] I thought it was geeky humour that I just didnt get [09:35] baudthief: yes, that's the kde3 variant. [09:35] man WTf [09:35] i can't save xorg.conf [09:35] access denied? [09:35] this is why global admin is a good thing [09:35] its write protected or something [09:35] you need to edit it as root, thats why [09:35] !sudo [09:35] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [09:36] you manually openned it didnt you :P [09:36] yes, i had to [09:36] you lie!

I've been useful to at least one person today [09:39] oh my god [09:39] it won't klet me save [09:39] [use for one line of editing disabled] [09:40] use of one more* [09:40] I think you fail at computers :P [09:40] no, kubuntu fails [09:40] microsoft owns you [09:40] not really [09:41] come on, you panicked without a mouse [09:41] admit it :p [09:41] Sixofour: you could just use "kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" instead ... [09:41] .... [09:41] ive already edit the file [09:41] dwidmann: ah, I suggested kdesu [09:41] i just ened to save it [09:41] baudthief: try not to give people a hard time in here [09:41] I was only messin :\ [09:41] why is it so hard to save a text file? [09:42] Sixofour: it shouldnt be, have you got another program such as aticonfig open? [09:42] no [09:42] either something's locked the file, or its not actually being edited as root [09:42] i ahve dolphin and firefox and irc open [09:43] its telling me [us of one more line for editing disabled]..thats the error [09:43] baudthief: I don't think there's a lock for that file, so it's bound to be the latter. [09:43] use* [09:44] Sixofour: try dwidmann's suggestion, I told you to use kdesu before, kdesudo might work [09:44] you can just copy/paste :P [09:44] from the existing editor I mean [09:44] :(((( [09:44] baudthief: in 8.04 onward, kdesu is a symlink to kdesudo [09:44] baudthief: or wait, it was 7.10 [09:44] so how do i get out of this kate then? [09:44] just close it [09:44] dwidmann: I see [09:45] close terminal? [09:45] Sixofour: sure, why not [09:45] close Kate, then close terminal - its cleaner lol [09:45] kate isn'topened [09:45] o_O [09:45] ok so, I guess you close terminal lol [09:45] i don't know what the fuck it was, i was editing the file in terminal [09:46] oh, yeah you were using nano [09:46] its a bit confusing at first [09:46] Sixofour: try this last one lol [09:46] alt+f2, then type: kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:46] should prompt you for root password, or catch fire [09:46] command not found [09:46] #@&(@$*&)($#&* [09:47] are you doing this on purpose? [09:47] baudthief: try emacs ... nano isn't complex at all. [09:47] i just ened to edit the file [09:47] 5 editors and none of them can do it [09:47] thats pathetic [09:47] dwidmann: What the hell is going on, he can run Kate from kicker, but not via cli? [09:47] Sixofour: that command should be found, unless you're using an old version of kubuntu [09:47] shabba [09:47] 8.04 kubuntu [09:48] everything you guys have told me to put into terminal = command not found [09:48] Sixofour: wassup? [09:48] Sixofour: spinout, that seriously doesn't make any sense to me [09:48] i'm trying to disable ctrl alt backspace [09:48] they are giveing me unworking commands [09:48] ActionParsnip: he needs to open some form of GUI text editor as root, nothing is working. [09:48] its 4am and i am about to shoot myself [09:48] kdesudo kate should work. [09:49] but it doesnt... why :P [09:49] if it doesn't something is *very wrong* [09:49] exactly [09:49] Sixofour: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:49] its linux, what should i have expected? [09:49] i did that, can't save [09:49] ActionParsnip: already tried, wont let him save, something about 1 line editing disabled [09:49] [use of one more line for editing disabled] [09:50] Sixofour: Seriously, this is REALLY screwed up [09:50] Sixofour: you can if you press ctrl+x then hit Y to say Yes save the buffer, then hit enter [09:50] no one said that before [09:50] i'll try...again [09:50] Hi! My Laptop LCD does not correctly turn of after the DPMS/EnergyStar timeout - it goes dark for a second and than comes back on. How can I fix/debug this? [09:50] Sixofour: ok, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/; cd ~/; sudo nano ./xorg.conf [09:51] Sixofour: you could make a copy to your home [09:51] ! [09:51] Sixofour: See we had no idea you'd understand that :P [09:51] well its too late for that [09:51] Sixofour: you could even try: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/; cd ~/; sudo chown ./xorg.conf; kate ./xorg.conf [09:52] i edited the file..i suppose x needs to restart for it to come into effect? [09:52] yup [09:52] baudthief: theres more than one way to skin a cat [09:52] ActionParsnip: you skin cats! :O How could you!!?? [09:52] (lol) [09:52] ActionParsnip: It appeared he needed to know everything in lamens terms, I mean he panicked when he had to use a terminal :P [09:53] oh man [09:53] omg ctrl+o to save? what is this the stone age? :P [09:53] i love the terminal, Ive used it for so long I find konqueror et al slooooooooow [09:53] so [09:54] agreed [09:54] ye, everyone knows that the proper way to save is :w [09:54] thefish: haha [09:54] * dwidmann is a fan of using the best tool for the job [09:54] Sixofour: disabled? [09:54] * ActionParsnip thinks ctrl+alt+bs is useful for when your rig falls over / gets stuck [09:55] ActionParsnip: Sixofour doesn't, I geuss theres always the magical SysRq key :P [09:55] ^ having ssh available is also pretty useful [09:55] * dwidmann agrees with ActionParsnip [09:56] looks like its still enabled [09:56] * ActionParsnip laughs [09:56] that was a client quit that time lol [09:57] Sixofour: did it work?

[09:58] damn, the guys gonna think it's a conspiracy [09:59] is it really worth it? Its quite hard to accidentally tap [10:00] plus most windows users are used to ctrl+alt+del [10:00] ActionParsnip: he just wants to disable all users (except root) from shutting down or restarting [10:00] "just" lol [10:00] well to be fair he just wanted a means of password protection shutdowns [10:01] *protecting [10:01] C+A+BS doesnt restart, only root can shutdown and reboot [10:01] ActionParsnip: apparently restarting X was close enough [10:01] to an actual restart, I mean [10:02] finally [10:02] chatzilla stopped working [10:02] probably a connection issue [10:02] that disabled the command anyways [10:02] hooray! [10:02] now if your X breaks, you have to hard-reset lol [10:02] i am sure i'll find something else to piss me off, anyways, its 5am i need to go to sleep [10:03] Sixofour: fyi, only root can reboot and shutdown [10:03] Sixofour: but the night isn't even over yet :( [10:03] no, i just disabled ctrl alt backspace [10:03] i can hit pwoer button or what ever also === kde4 is now known as ka === ka is now known as kacer === Sixofour is now known as Sixofour|Sleep [10:14] kalimera [10:20] Hello, Is there kubuntu KDE 4.1 chat room?

[17:33] nope [17:33] 3 [17:33] i see, so no one in kubuntu knows about kde4 then? [17:33] thats odd [17:33] you have to get the kde4 remix to start out with 5 [17:33] there is a #kubuntu-kde4 [17:33] 4 [17:34] tebriel: okay, try this [17:34] tebriel: type iwconfig [17:34] ok, next question, Samba channel is dead, so can anyone explaine how to get files from the shared nertwork of a windows xp machine on my home network? [17:34] coreymon77: shows my wlan config [17:34] tebriel: is your interface eth0, wlan0, what? [17:35] coreymon77: wlan0 [17:35] coreymon77: do you recommend a method of purging kde3 packages aleady provided by kde4? [17:35] pgib: nope [17:35] one-by-one in apt then ;-) [17:35] tebriel: you know your essid and wpa key right? [17:35] coreymon77: yep [17:36] Hi there, I have a Dell D620 latitude laptop, with a broadcom bmc 43xx network card and Im using network manager.. Every so often, my wireless just.. stops passing information.. Im running continuous pings that suddenly stop.. and 10 seconds later, it will continue. sometimes 20 seconds.. sometimes the wireless will just disconnect.. Is this a driver issue? is there a known fix for this? [17:36] alrighty, we're gonna do it the old fashioned reliable iwconfig way [17:36] heh oh broadcom, you are the bane of our existences [17:36] tebriel: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid youressid key yourwpakey [17:38] okay, my key is ascii, contains an ampersand and therefore confuses the konsole, but when i put it in quotes it says invalid argument [17:38] do i need to convert the key to hex? [17:38] well you could do that [17:38] or you can do it this way [17:38] open up system settings [17:38] network settings [17:38] admin mode [17:39] click wlan0, configure [17:39] flaccid [17:39] my pal [17:39] oh.. you are talking about a user [17:39] tebriel: put in your info, choosing ascii as the key type [17:39] nalioth, why is jucato away= [17:39] coreymon77, i know you [17:40] coreymon77: did so, no ip address shows up [17:40] you are that famous hacker kid [17:40] fujisan: meh? [17:40] yeah [17:40] corey something [17:40] fujisan: im no hacker [17:40] yeah reverse engineer [17:40] nope [17:40] i mean it in the proper sense i.e. clever playfulness [17:41] tebriel: choose dhcp [17:41] i did, it's even listed in the protocol [17:41] fujisan: i dont hack stuff, dont even know how [17:41] coreymon77, so if i boot into kubuntu you will be able to help me on various issues [17:41] fujisan: depends [17:41] ok sorry coreymon77 [17:42] im not the most knowledgeable here, i just know some things [17:42] tebriel: ignore that [17:42] are there any tutorials written for kubuntu i hate to have to ask so many question but i am clueless about kubuntu [17:42] coreymon77: ok [17:42] tebriel: jsut put your wireless info into the box [17:42] i did [17:42] and clicked apply [17:42] tebriel: okay, apply [17:42] anything working [17:43] fujisan, there should be some tutorials and help on the Unix website or just google what you're after [17:43] I thought hacker was a good term [17:43] no Triksie i want good tutorials :( [17:43] and cracker was negative [17:43] pgib it is [17:43] coreymon77: saldy, no, and iwconfig shows up blank instead of the text i put into the box [17:43] some people watch too much foxnews and got indoctrinated into thinking the word hacker is something totally opposite pgib [17:44] back to network settings [17:44] it's easier if you learn for yourself. Experiment along the way. Are you used to Windows? [17:44] excuse me for not using proper grammar/punctuation [17:44] fujisan: agree. But, we are a community of people who should know what a hacker is ;) [17:44] tebriel: go to configure again [17:44] Triksie i like to be prepared to a certain extend [17:44] yeah pgib [17:44] tebriel: and check the activate on start thing [17:44] coreymon77: okay [17:44] pgib i think this is the future [17:45] i want to learn enough so i can dump windows [17:45] and be free [17:45] tebriel: next go to routes, 192..168.1.1 i presume [17:45] nope, 10.0.1.1 is my gateway [17:45] whatever [17:45] thats what you use to get into your router? [17:46] yep [17:46] that works [17:46] next that [17:46] tab* [17:46] put in your dns [17:46] it's set to eth0 not wlan0 is that important? [17:46] tebriel: yup [17:46] tebriel: change it to wlan0 [17:46] okay, i did so [17:46] dns already in the system [17:46] kay then [17:46] apply [17:47] done [17:47] anything? [17:48] nope, iwconfig still shows up nada [17:48] restart knetowrk manager [17:48] can't ping anything, and no ip address in ifconfig [17:48] problem with me Triksie is that i am very impatient, so if i have something to read, like a for dummies guide i will learn it faster, but i see that good documentation for ubuntu and kubuntu is very outdated [17:48] and get rid of your ethernet [17:49] ethernet unplugged and did a sudo NetworkManager restart [17:49] tebriel: hows knetowrkmanager treating you now? [17:49] No active device [17:50] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [17:50] so is it possible yet to enable and use a bluetooth headset on kubuntu? [17:50] coreymon77: okay, restart knetworkmanager again? [17:50] yup [17:50] hey all [17:51] is that my yup coreymon77, or tebriels' yup? [17:51] fujisan: teb [17:51] k [17:51] Admittedly saying you're impatient is an outreach for help of some kind and have a want to learn more about Kubuntu. You're on this ICR for help, but the help you require are tutorials which can't be provided here. Best thing I suggest is if you just mess about with Kubuntu, so as you're experimenting, you'll gradually pick up more information. :-) [17:51] im installing kubuntu for business use... just to serve as a not hideous looking linux distro to use as a workstation for one java app, and as a web browser [17:51] dare i go with kde4? [17:51] FuriousGeorge: not now [17:51] coreymon77: i think i'm restarting the wrong service, when i sudo NetworkManager restart it doesn't close the box I had open [17:51] FuriousGeorge: stick with 3 [17:52] coreymon77: ill do that [17:52] tebriel: knetworkmanager [17:52] you answered within the requisite 3 seconds [17:52] ;) [17:52] thanks [17:53] tebriel: you need to restart knetworkmanager [17:53] coreymon77: is the command something other than sudo knetworkmanager restart because it says unexpected argument [17:53] no Triksie i am aware of my bad qualities, and Triksie i was messing with kubuntu with kde4 yesterday night, and even something as simple as editing a source.list file in nano was tedious for me i had to hammer flaccid with question, I wish to not do that again anything soon, since it is annoying for both myself and anyone trying to help me, i did try using google to help me out but all the google solutions weren't tailormade and increment [17:54] tebriel: maybe jsut try physically closing the program and reopening it [17:55] tebriel: (this is why i dont bother with wpa :P)' [17:55] Nothing more I can suggest then, fujisan. [17:55] i tried that and it just minimizes to the system tray and killall -9 doesn't work on it either, says no process killed [17:55] i want help to be able to help myself Triksie that's all [17:56] that's why I asked about those tutorials [17:56] tebriel: right click and quit doesnt work? [17:56] doesn't have a right click button, is there a button-click for right click? [17:56] I know what you mean :-). Sorry I couldn't be of help to you. Good luck in finding the right sources you are looking for! === ahmed is now known as Guest22602 [17:56] tebriel: you cant right click your mouse? [17:56] coreymon77: no mouse, touchpad, old apple laptop, no right click [17:57] i did several google queries for some already, but as I mentioned previously, most are outdated or lacking an entry level low enough for me, not to trip over [17:57] tebriel: control click? [17:57] tebriel: alt click [17:57] just opens the window, i've tried apple, alt, ctrl, and fn [17:58] i hate this program :P [17:58] tebriel: sudo apt-get install kwifimanager [17:58] fujisan, what is the issue [17:58] coreymon77: lol me too, this is why i switched to wlassistant because it actually recognized my wireless card as opposed to knetworkmanager which didn't even see it [17:59] tebriel: yet now wpa is causing you issues [17:59] anyways bbiab going to boot into kubuntu now [17:59] tebriel: (which is why i never bother with it) [17:59] coreymon77: no, i was able to connnect to the internet, through konsole, i could ping websites outside of my network, which is what i was saying, it was just that no application outside of konsole could reach the internet [17:59] hmmm [17:59] so wpa was working fine [18:00] tebriel: do this, go back to network settings and give yourself a static ip [18:00] okay [18:00] tebriel: and sudo apt-get install kwifimanager [18:00] just finished installing that [18:02] okay, gave myself a static ip, which at least updated iwconfig [18:02] but i can't ping anything [18:03] tebriel: knm still giving you nothing/ [18:03] correct [18:03] tebriel: open kwifimanager [18:03] it's open [18:03] settings config editor [18:04] okay [18:04] tebriel: put in your stuff [18:04] make sure the interface is right [18:04] looks like it's not going to take an ascii key [18:04] tebriel: you might converting it [18:04] it would make things much easier === root is now known as Guest29107 [18:05] mind* [18:05] coreymon77: wow, that's a long key, let me reconnect ethernet so i don't have to type it from one computer to the other [18:06] ok amarok is not playing music which codec do i need?

[18:13] no clue, tahts really wierd [18:14] i'm gonna' go back to wlassistant and try to ssh to a box and see if that works [18:14] somethings wrong by dhcp not getting an ip [18:15] im really quite stumped [18:15] wpa always confuses me [18:16] i think there's something deeper than wpa going on here, because it doesn't even list the interface in knetworkmanager nor does it let me connect to the unprotected wireless APs around me [18:17] tebriel: screw knetwork [18:17] tebriel: try using regular old network [18:17] hold on, i'm back in wlassistant for a min trying to see if i can really access all the internet through konsole [18:18] nevermind, it now just magically works [18:18] everything? [18:18] wlassistant has me connected to my ap and i can browse the internet and ssh [18:18] yeah, everything [18:18] hey! [18:18] we did ! [18:19] it!

[18:45] i've a short and easy question (with a complex solution i suppose, lite it's every time with Kubuntu :D) [18:45] yeah bazhang [18:45] ubuntu had compiz full enabled via wubi [18:45] i like the kde 4 theme very much (seen it in several kde 4 applications i'm running withing kde 3.5.9) [18:45] wubi doesnt limit what you can do as far as i know [18:46] is there a possibility to apply the theme for whole kde 3.5.9? [18:46] !ati [18:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [18:46] bazhang: can't imagine why it wouldn't. it's a full install (mounted loopback), so there's no reason it shouldn't have hardware access. it might be a little slower being located on a filesystem within a filesystem, but nothing so bad as running in a VM [18:46] thanks Daisuke_Ido :) [18:46] fujisan, see above [18:46] yeah thanks [18:46] np [18:47] LINUX EN FORCE [18:47] i am scared of the proprietary ati drivers though [18:47] how can i use the opensource ones?

[18:49] fujisan, what about hardware drivers [18:49] i mean kubuntu* [18:50] nvm, uninstalled konq and that worked [18:50] fujisan: In Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron use the Hardware Drivers Manager from K Menu->System. [18:50] from the page linked to [18:51] yeah Daisuke_Ido i was doing that already seems easier [18:51] so is it enabled now that i checkmarked enabled, ?

[19:04] are there any other window managers than kwin and are they better in your oppinion [19:04] ?? [19:05] what's the hot key to switch between desktops, using kde? [19:05] there are a lot of window managers, though using them with kde is not usually recommended, as kwin is tied very closely to the rest of the desktop. it would be like trying to use kwin with gnome. sure it'll work, but it won't be a good combination [19:06] what's about dekorator, it is one to, isn't it? i think it's designed for kde too?? [19:07] no sorry [19:07] was bullshit ;) === emma_ is now known as emma [19:31] hey all [19:32] Greetings [19:32] how difficult does it sound to copy a working kubuntu install to another server, modify the kernel so mounting nfs etc is built in, and boot it from nfs off the other server [19:33] im trying to set up a diskless node... its almost working with gentoo as the client os, and im wondering if i could use kubuntu on the client instead [19:34] perhaps i could just take a .config from cubuntu (zcat /proc/config.gz >> .config) build it in gentoo, and just copy it over the kernel provided by kubuntu... then i would just need to modify the fstab so it boots from where i want, right?

[21:01] what does mount say ? [21:01] would be mounted under /media [21:01] But I yanked it out when I couldn't abort a copy. [21:01] It used to show up under /media/disk [21:01] Sixofour|Sleep: Let me know when you install [21:01] But only after I double-clicked the desktop icon and opened it with dolphin. [21:02] Now, since it won't show up on the desktop, I can't get it to mount at all. [21:02] i didn't get it [21:02] * wad runs mount [21:02] ? [21:02] i'm trying to wrap my brain around wine [21:03] The mount command doesn't seem to show it at all. Which I expect, since I don't believe it's mounted.

[21:04] But I need to run fdisk, and I don't know which device to use. [21:06] Ah, I found it! I did a "find /dev > /1" then "find /dev > /2" then "diff /1 /2" [21:06] :-D [21:08] I found this: /dev/bus/usb/007 [21:08] There are two files in there: 001 and 013 [21:08] 013 shows up when I plug in. [21:09] Of course [21:09] Device 012 [21:09] So.... I can't feed that file to fdisk. [21:09] Hmm, still stuck. [21:09] Maybe if I boot to windows. [21:10] * wad boots to windows.

Are there any burning programs that will do this for me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:38] eamon: are you using 64bit install? [22:39] how can i find out [22:39] i dont think so this pc is a p4 1.7gz [22:39] is he on a 64bit computer [22:39] eamon: if you were you'd know [22:40] lets do it this way [22:40] kopete doesn't have IRC chat [22:40] we could always lspci and see what that tells us [22:40] no im not on a 64bit pc [22:40] okay [22:41] so, whats not working [22:41] i cant view videos on places like youtube [22:41] eamon: did you install properly [22:41] ?

[22:49] yep [22:50] eamon: good, now once again in konsole type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:50] Hmmmm nonfree does this mean ihave to pay [22:50] nope [22:50] eamon: it just means its not open source [22:51] ok [22:51] sweet its doing its thing [22:52] oh yay flash plugin installed [22:52] okay, it should work now [22:52] thanks corey [22:52] now java is that similar [22:53] yup [22:53] sudo apt-get install java? [22:53] nope [22:54] !java [22:54] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper [22:54] oh ok [22:55] eamon: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin === nick__ is now known as came0 [22:56] is there a website where i can learn all these commands [22:56] !commands [22:56] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [22:56] apt is fairly simple [22:57] apt-get is kinda easy [22:58] eamon: 60% of everything you will do will involve the konsole [22:58] 70% is better estimate [22:58] Sixofour|Sleep: wrong [22:58] how so? [22:58] Sixofour|Sleep: very wrong [22:58] Sixofour|Sleep: you can do everything graphically if you want [22:58] everything i ahve done as needed konsole [22:58] Sixofour|Sleep: most of it can be done graphically [22:58] Sixofour|Sleep: you dont ever have to even open konsole if you dont want to [22:58] :O [22:58] Sixofour|Sleep: You were using the konsole already so we just kept using it [22:59] how do you apt-get without a konsole then? [22:59] Sixofour|Sleep: adept [22:59] adept? [22:59] Sixofour|Sleep: Learning commands are good though you can get a lot done in very short period of imte [22:59] its a program [22:59] graphical apt [22:59] ah [22:59] mind you its much slower and tends to bug up [22:59] hello [22:59] so cli apt is prefferable, but still [23:00] cli = ? [23:00] so is there a tutorial or something for konsole [23:00] Sixofour|Sleep: command line interface [23:00] Sixofour|Sleep: aka konsole [23:00] ah [23:00] eamon: well the general rule is dont do anything in konsole unless you know exactly what it will do [23:01] ok [23:01] eamon: because you can mess up your computer royal [23:01] ahhh its how you learn i guess [23:01] ROYAL [23:01] not really [23:01] also, don't kill process krunner [23:01] no matter what anyone says [23:01] eamon: we are talkign royal here, as in, you computer will not boot [23:01] what will that do [23:02] oh [23:02] one letter can be the difference bewteen free pron and hard drive failure [23:02] killing krunner makes nothing work [23:02] you have to restart kde [23:02] You'd have to flash the Bios with /dev/random for that [23:03] do you have kubuntu 8.04? [23:03] yep [23:03] okay [23:03] enough scaring the newbie for one day [23:03] !kde4 [23:03] KDE 4.1.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [23:03] haha [23:03] its all good [23:03] use that channel aswell as this one [23:03] Sixofour|Sleep: not a good idea [23:03] what? [23:03] Sixofour|Sleep: hes prob still using kde4 [23:03] kde3* [23:03] ahh what kde? [23:03] eamon you using kde4 or 3? [23:03] unless you purposely get 4, the default is still 3 [23:03] Sixofour|Sleep: That shoudln't happen [23:04] kde shoudln't need krunner to work [23:04] i kiled krunner and no rpograms would run [23:04] alt+f2 did nothing [23:05] ctrl+alt+backspace did nothing [23:05] is kill a command [23:05] had to push the button [23:05] eamon: yup, dont use it though [23:05] it is in the sysem monitor [23:05] they should have changed the command kill to "murder" it would have been more appropriate [23:06] well im stoked that i have a linux machine on my network now [23:06] eamon: apt is a pretty safe command to use, but other than that, dont play around with konsole commands unless you know what they will do [23:06] ok [23:07] a guy told me a command once that deletes the partitions in real time [23:07] will remeber that, was messing around in konsol last night hope i didnt do too much damage [23:07] or something to that effect [23:07] it was a brutal command [23:07] eamon: you would know if you did [23:07] i needed to use it because kubuntu wouldn't let me install windows anymore [23:07] sweet [23:08] Sixofour|Sleep: you mean the rm-rf command? [23:08] dunno.it was one command that = empty hard drive [23:08] Sixofour|Sleep: that would be that [23:08] Sixofour|Sleep: aka the "oh s**t!!!!" button [23:08] :P [23:09] if i put rm-rf into konsole and hit ok what would happen? [23:09] do you use msn or google talk coreymon [23:09] well, i addes sudo [23:09] Sixofour|Sleep: drive gets erased [23:09] eamon: dont give it out to people i dont know personally [23:09] eamon: thats what irc is for [23:10] ok sweeet as was just going to add you incase i need more advice [23:10] coreymon not even a y/n prompt? [23:10] Sixofour|Sleep: nope [23:10] lol ouch? [23:10] not fun [23:10] does it need sudo? [23:11] surely it needs sudo [23:11] Sixofour|Sleep: as i said, the "oh s**t" button [23:11] Sixofour|Sleep: depends, if you are simply erasing the contents of your home dir, no, because you dont need sudo for that, but for your entire drive, yes [23:11] oh another question [23:12] Sixofour|Sleep: rm-rf=remove-reformat [23:12] how do i update my display drivers [23:12] hrm, any way to disable that command for non sudo? [23:12] Sixofour|Sleep: no worries [23:12] i'm afraid i might use it by accedent lol [23:12] Sixofour|Sleep: just typing rm-rf wont do anything, you gotta put in a directory [23:12] oh [23:12] whew [23:13] what is rm-rf [23:13] Sixofour|Sleep: and if you accidentally do it, well, you deserve it [23:13] 3 days from now i might think"what was that move folder command?..oh yeah rm-rf" [23:13] eamon: nothing you should know about [23:13] Sixofour|Sleep: no, thats mv [23:13] i think i asked this in here before, but what's a good command to convert .vob to some free format ? [23:13] you haven't met my brain [23:14] Agent_bob: you would need a program to do that [23:14] Sixofour|Sleep: expand the command into somethin useful [23:14] If you can read rm as move you seriously need an implant :-) [23:14] eamon: rm removes something from the computer [23:14] coreymon77 commands generally are programs. bash builtins or otherwise. [23:15] haha got you there [23:15] rf = command note found [23:15] you wanna be a smart ass or you wanna get and answer [23:15] an* [23:16] * DaskreecH would choose smart ass [23:16] DaskreecH: i can just see sixfour typing rm-rf / thinking its the move command :P [23:16] coreymon77 rm-rf isn't a command anyway [23:16] is it a delete command or something [23:17] eamon rm is [23:17] whatever it is [23:17] coreymon77: Where the heck is he moving that to ? [23:17] DaskreecH: no clue [23:17] DaskreecH: /dev/null [23:17] rm remove, mk, make directory, mv move directory etc etc [23:17] lol [23:17] eamon: yes its delete [23:18] eamon ffr any command you don't know what does run it by man man rm [23:18] i.e. man man [23:18] any command you dont know what it does [23:18] dont use it [23:19] no [23:19] particularily if it requires sudo [23:19] learn about it. [23:19] type idclev into konsole [23:19] right now [23:19] * Sixofour|Sleep watches everyone google idclev [23:19] hahaha [23:20] ok, real problem [23:20] i much prefer iddqd [23:20] firefox is asking me to create a new profile every time i start it [23:20] :S [23:20] i created a profile and put it in /home/firefox [23:20] (which is a shell script that runs sudo -s on my system) [23:20] but it keeps trying to load something from root [23:20] Sixofour|Sleep: sounds like you don't own your own profile [23:21] then you're running firefox with sudo? [23:21] no [23:21] Daisuke_Ido heh like root here. [23:21] i'm running without sudo, is why i put the profile in/home [23:21] $HOME [23:21] not /home/ [23:21] $HOME/firefox [23:21] you get thwe point [23:21] Sixofour|Sleep: did you install firefox with apt [23:21] whats the dollar signs in commands mean [23:21] yes [23:22] Sixofour|Sleep: that is not where profiles go [23:22] dunno, i only seen someone else use the $ sign [23:22] environment variables [23:22] corey i can't put them anywhere else, no permissiopn [23:22] $HOME = your home directory [23:22] eamon means the next char is a variable up to ifs [23:22] kdesudo doesn't work, and you don't use sudo for graphical apps [23:22] When are firefox 3 packages going to be available for kubuntu? [23:22] they are now? [23:22] solifugus: they are [23:22] i am using firefox 3 nightly [23:22] solifugus: about three months ago [23:23] solifugus: they have been since it was released [23:23] eamon echo "$USER lives in $HOME" [23:23] why exactly [23:23] are ff3 nightlies available through the repos? [23:23] well im off thanks for the help guys [23:23] im using fx3 [23:23] stable [23:23] is there a command or variable for "all" [23:23] why are yuo guys using nightlies exactly? [23:23] stable has been out for a couple of months [23:24] bexcause i like instability [23:24] Sixofour|Sleep * [23:24] coreymon77: not, i'm using stable. i'm thinking if he's using nightlies, they're not coming from the repos [23:24] I downloaded Kubuntu and then extracted the files from the .iso into a folder. I then used K3b to burn those files to a disk, but the disk won't boot on either of the two computers I've tried it on. It just boots the operating system already on the computer. I made sure that it checks for a bootable CD before looking at the hard drive. Did I burn the CD wrong? [23:24] Aeonoris: you burned it wrong [23:24] anyways, about the profiles? [23:24] you don't extract the iso [23:24] you use the option in k3b to burn an image file to cd [23:24] Aeonoris: yes, that's wrong. tell your CD burner software to burn the .ISO, not the extracted .ISO. [23:24] im off helping for a while, im on my break [23:24] Daisuke_Ido, how do I do that? [23:25] coreymon77, Daisuke_Ido: ok.. sorry, i was expecting them as an update.. I guess I have to separately install it. Do i have to uninstall my existing firefox first? [23:25] open k3b, choose burn image file [23:25] rickest, that's what I tried last time, but I accidentally burned the iso itself. I'm running out of CDs, heh [23:25] solifugus: erm, i think i just updated [23:25] /facepalm [23:25] Aeonoris: you using k3b? [23:25] Aeonoris: don't burn a data cd, burn image to disc [23:26] coreymon77: it's not an update.. each version is listed separately in Adept. [23:26] Aeonoris: from k3b's menu, select Tools->Burn CD Image. that opens a file-open dialog, find and select the .ISO [23:26] Oh, I see. [23:26] Thanks both. [23:26] can someone else help him out [23:27] im taking a break [23:27] yw [23:27] so it would be like * $USER, $HOME chown sudo...or something [23:28] crap. all the howto's are going the wreong way. * to vob i want vob to [23:28] so.. .vob to .ogg in google [23:28] .vob = what? [23:29] video object? [23:30] yeah the mpeg from dvd ar named *.vob [23:30] according to wikipedia: If the VOB filename extension is changed from .vob to an MPEG-2 type file extension such as .mpg or .mpeg, the file is still readable and continues to hold all information, although most MPEG-2-capable players don't support subtitle tracks. [23:30] So, eh, try changing the file extension? [23:31] that wont change the format [23:31] i'm wanting to convert the file not just rename it [23:31] to .ogm maybe [23:31] Oh. Well google .vob to .mpg, or is .mpg non-free? [23:32] mpg is microsoft [23:32] i googled .vob to and all hits are blah to .vob > dvd [23:32] .vob to .avi? [23:32] avi is free i think [23:32] then encode the avi to something smaller [23:32] though quality loss will be high probably [23:33] avi isn't a format, avi is a container [23:33] and quality loss is a certainty [23:33] it's a lossy format [23:33] ok.. i uninstalled firefox regular, installed firefox 3... and now there is no firefox option under start->internet [23:33] wait. quoting it helped. ".vob to" has some hits that look interesting [23:33] executing firefox doesn't work either [23:34] solifugus: you're using hardy, right? [23:34] firefox 2 and 3 are vastly different [23:34] 3 >> 2 [23:34] Hello [23:34] solifugus: apt-cache policy firefox [23:34] How do I write to .zip? [23:34] and pastebin the output [23:35] ls >> tacosarecool.zip [23:36] How do you write "all your base are belong to me" in konsole? [23:36] echo all your base are belong to me [23:36] ... with commands [23:36] So I got to rename my zip to tacosarecool.zip [23:36] tacosarecool.zip was an example [23:37] But when I try to put stuff in an already existing zip it says cannot write to tar [23:37] ah [23:37] actually, how do i install .tar.bz2? [23:38] tar cvf file.tar file1 file2 file3 [23:38] Sixofour|Sleep extract it [23:38] ark? [23:38] could be [23:39] um, make a new dir on desktop? [23:39] does the tar cvf apply to me? [23:40] thats up to you Sixofour|Sleep [23:40] yes tacosarecool [23:41] Oh I just used ark and it works [23:41] bye [23:42] i'm asking how to === root is now known as Guest53102 [23:42] make a dir on my desktop to dump the tar stuff into, [23:42] then delete the dir after i install the program [23:43] !compile | Sixofour|Sleep [23:43] Sixofour|Sleep: Compiling software from source?
