[07:01] does the computer still start? does it start any other OS? [07:02] i have XP... but it won't start it either [07:02] did the install process give you any error messages? [07:02] not at first [07:03] but then i had to re-install [07:03] because i wouldn't start any other way [07:03] and then it showed an error message [07:04] the more specific you are, the better people can help :) what did the error message say? [07:04] it said grub couldn't start (or something like that) but it started kubuntu anyways [07:05] and you've already tried reinstalling, right? I ask because I'd suggest reinstalling just GRUB, but if you've reinstalled the entire OS, that's the same thing [07:06] how do i tell kde when to turn my monitor off? [07:11] sorry i was at the phone.. my gf.. [07:11] so... the fact is... if now i want to turn of my pc.. and restart... it won't find the OS [07:11] neither kubuntu or Xp.. [07:12] and i really like to know what should i do... [07:12] i'm sorry if i'm a little slow... this is my first time using linux [07:14] ubuntu_, I asked if you'd already tried reinstalling -- not b/c I recommend that, but because if you have it would rule something out [07:16] I already reinstalled... that's why i'm here writing right now.. cuz i haven't restarted my pc.. or else i'd be reisntalling.. again [07:18] when i first re-started... after the bios check, all it said was: OS not found... [07:18] is grub installed properly? [07:18] and (strangely enough) the XP partition is D:.. not C: [07:19] after reinstalll it said it couldn't load grub... [07:19] should reinstall grub? [07:19] probably would be a good idea to [07:20] that's what I'd try; the fact that you reinstalled Kubuntu altogether suggests it may not help tho [07:20] ok.. um how do i re-install grub only?

[07:25] adept is installed by default so that could be part of your problem [07:25] no it was already installled [07:26] you could try on the command line "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" [07:28] ok i am trying [07:28] np === drmarwat_ is now known as cryingtux [07:30] hello [07:30] anybody knows how to fix repos gpg keys issue?

[10:17] it is indeed [10:17] sudo apt-get install amsn [10:17] if he has the .deb file he can just click on the file to install it [10:17] adept will open it up [10:17] it says dependency is not satisfiable..

[10:18] in that case just use the sudo apt-get install amsn [10:18] but I am getting the error: Dependency is not satisfiable libsnack2 [10:18] and it will download everything from the repos [10:18] okiee. [10:18] even reinstall of extremetuxracer didnt resolve that problem [10:19] do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try 'sudo apt-get install amsn' [10:19] when in doubt 'update/upgrade/try again' [10:19] seems something else is causing extremetuxracer to c lose tuxx [10:20] dr_Willis I usually have a look to see if there are any better repos for the program I want as well [10:20] i.e. installing the latest version of Wine requires a special repo etc [10:20] same applies to amsn and many other programs [10:20] but i dunno what is it...first time i started game, it showed me menu. I set language and when i wanted to set some display issues, it crashed [10:21] seems maybe you'll need to completely remove it instead of just apt-get remove, if it leaves details behind on the remove it will keep them when re-installed and most likely graphical settings will cause it to crash [10:22] removed...now i try installation again [10:23] when you say removed you did what? [10:23] apt-get remove extremetuxracer? [10:23] apt-get remove extremetuxracer [10:23] all that does is remove the binary file and de-selects the package [10:23] you need to do apt-get purge extremetuxracer [10:24] done...you think its completly removed now? [10:24] after the purge I would do "apt-get clean" "apt-get update" "apt-get upgrade" then finally "apt-get install extremetuxracer" [10:24] ciao a tutti [10:24] come va [10:24] ? [10:25] ok...trying...please wait :-) [10:25] np [10:26] installed...now have your fingers crossed :-) [10:27] lol [10:27] hell no :-( [10:27] damn [10:27] some config files have to be hidden somewhere cuz my language was set already [10:27] ok well if you open up dolphin [10:28] go to your home directory [10:28] and when a saw Stlacte lubovolnu klavesu a know its bad :-) [10:28] then go to view and show hidden files, does it have a directory called .extremetuxracer? [10:29] nothing like that is in my home dir [10:29] but... [10:29] there is .etracer [10:30] that'll be the one then [10:30] yep it is...so purge again and remove this dir? [10:30] so if you do "apt-get purge extremetuxracer", then delete that directory in console by typing [10:30] copy that... [10:30] "cd /home/yourname/" [10:30] HollowPoint: or just "cd" [10:31] and "rm -rF .etracer" (Be VERY carefull with this last command, do NOT put a space between the . and etracer) [10:31] indeed stdin [10:31] I like to be a stickler though [10:32] it says: rm: invalid option -- F [10:32] shortcuts in the command line are to me a VERY bad idea lol, especially if you're not working in the command line yourself, you end up in the wrong directory and you've got problems, plus you never know how someone else may have their bash profile, if you define an ultimate path you can't be wrong [10:32] sorry tux "rm -fR .etracer" [10:33] I hit shift on the wrong letter :( [10:33] aha ok np :-) [10:33] if someone changed $HOME in their bash profile, then it wouldn't matter anyway [10:33] deleted :-) now installation again [10:33] indeed tuxx [10:34] stdin valid point none the less [10:36] YEAH!! working :-) thx a lot [10:36] but i have 6,5 fps...so its unplayable :-( [10:37] ouch [10:38] what drivers are you using for your graphics? [10:38] i dunno...i have integrated intel [10:39] laptop? [10:39] yep [10:39] HP? [10:39] lenovo [10:39] fair enough [10:39] IBM then basically [10:39] 945GM? [10:39] 910 [10:39] ah :( [10:40] its not good for games but once a week in a free time... [10:40] probably not good enough to run 3d GLX needed for extremetuxracer without tweaking the graphics down in the game [10:40] #ubuntu-ru [10:41] there arent any settings for graphics except resolution, shadows etc... [10:41] yeah well shadows use a lot of GPU [10:41] resolution also has an effect, the lower you set the res the faster your FPS will be (Typically speaking of course), however it will look shit [10:42] hello , i was a problem in kubuntu , when i try to setup a program , adept show a message , what shuold i do ? [10:42] but thats no problem...im more happy its working :-) [10:42] i learn something new and thats more important as to play some game for kids :-) [10:42] hi. when is the next version of kubuntu coming out? [10:43] really thx a lot for help :-) [10:43] np tuxx [10:43] new release about every 6 mo.. 8.04 was latest.. so 8.10 (10th month) [10:43] karname what is the error? [10:43] Unless its delayed [10:43] it'll be out [10:43] bugs and all [10:45] Hello [10:45] thanks [10:45] !ntfs [10:45] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [10:45] I got a problem connecting to windows using remote desktop [10:46] I would assume that it worked out of the box on unbuntu - is that correct or do you need to install some extra software? [10:47] you need to type in console "sudo apt-get install rdesktop tsclient" [10:47] then look in your KMenu > Internet and you'll see "Terminal Server Client" Use that to connect via RDP to a Windows box [10:48] there is always krdp but I don't like it, tsclient is much more "Windows-like" [10:50] Excellent it works - Thank you HollowPoint [10:50] np Sonderborg === ets is now known as ets__ [10:52] Any one know an app that can open ai Adobe Illustrator files? [10:52] or EPS [10:53] interesting question [10:53] you on Mac or Linux? [10:54] this is Kubuntu chat, eh. Kubuntu [10:54] indeed but sometimes people do come in here asking for help on Macs lol [10:54] thought I'd ask before wasting time [10:55] as for opening adobe illustrator files I don't know of a Linux program that will do that. Have you googled it? [10:57] HollowPoint: I'm so sick of Google. Tired of filtering throught the #$%^& links. It's time for a new search leader [10:58] Xara and Incscape seem to be capable of it from the first link in Google [10:59] sorry Inkscape === kde_ is now known as skinnymg1 [11:10] hello [11:12] hi skinnymg1 [11:12] whats the off topic channel address [11:13] #kubuntu-offtopic as it says at the top of the room? === mcas is now known as mcas_away [11:41] i cant install my .deb files by double clicking the, it instead opens it with Ark. What to do??? [11:41] uh, right click them instead [11:42] wat after right clicking them???? [11:42] or change file associations (in browser settings mimetypes) ... from system-settings and/or kcontrol [11:42] whats in the list [11:42] the problem started when i installed kde4 from synaptics [11:42] I'll let you in on a little secret... .deb files are actually ar archives :) [11:42] m using kubuntu 8.04 64bit [11:43] synaptics? (generally its a touchpad driver) or the synaptic package manager ? [11:43] because synaptic shouldn't be much different from Adept... [11:43] 8.04? thats hardy right? [11:43] yeah hardy [11:44] ok no problem [11:44] dpkg -i pkg.deb [11:45] * ForgeAus shrugs [11:45] i knw this dpkg method but i shud also work by double clicking [11:45] !info gdebi [11:45] gdebi (source: gdebi): Simple tool to install deb files. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.8 (hardy), package size 30 kB, installed size 224 kB [11:45] bilal its a fauly file-association thats causing your issue [11:45] yeah install gdebi :) [11:45] gdebi should be pre-installed [11:45] sudo apt-get install gdebi [11:45] but g debi shud be for gnomw [11:46] gnome [11:46] and i am using kde [11:46] no [11:46] uh is there a kdebi? not that I know of! [11:46] gdebi works fine in kde [11:46] gdebi is a backend with a GTK and a KDE frontend [11:46] gdebi-kde === drmarwat is now known as cryingtux [11:47] leme install it now [11:47] then i willl tell you [11:47] ahh stdin that must be the one I was running, didn't realize it was gdebi-kde tho... [11:47] (just showed up as gdebi) [11:47] hello [11:48] there's gdebi-core, gdebi (GTK) and gdebi-kde (KDE) [11:48] bilal kubuntu should have installed GTK for you anyway... [11:48] so even if gdebi is gnome (more likely GTK only instead of all of gnome) its ok [11:48] gdebi-kde was not installed and i am installing it now [11:48] kubuntu dose not install GTK by default, that would be insanity [11:50] stdin? uh? Kubuntu by default supports both QT and GTK apps [11:50] (not GNOME + KDE only KDE, but GTK + QT) [11:50] what is gtk and qt [11:51] ! paste [11:51] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [14:39] lol [14:41] I don't know if someone can help me, but I've been googling this little problem for awhile now. I'm using Konversation at the moment, and I've found that if I type past the character limit, I get no warning but other people are getting messages cut off. Is there anything I can do to get it to warn me or automatically split up the message? [14:42] giga not that I know of === forge_ is now known as ForgeAus [14:43] Ahh, ok. Thanks anyway Forge [14:43] hehe X-Chat just dumps the characters as soon as the buffer gets full ... [14:43] mIRC cuts them off too [14:44] is there a way to have just kde 3 apps show up under v3 & kde apps show up just under v4? [14:44] but I think when you see your line repeated back at you see where its chopped I think [14:44] I heard X-Chat was supposed to split it for you, but it didn't work. Maybe a Windows feature only, lol [14:45] mrksbrd good question ask in #kde or #Kubuntu-kde4 [14:45] ok ty [14:45] nah its not windows only its client only [14:45] you can use mirc in linux anyway [14:45] (via wine) [14:45] after dealing with the infamous "offline mode" error in firefox by editing the messages dbus sends [14:45] but I think kvirc might be a better choice [14:45] Just a little frustrating, when you type a long message and people don't get it, so you end up having to repeat the message [14:45] i now find that firefox takes about 10 minutes to start up [14:46] a lot of applications do the whole blinking startup thing and then disappear from the public eye until they decide randomly to pop up at odd moments [14:46] any takers? [14:46] I have so many firefox extensions it takes 10 mins or more to start up anyway! [14:46] i don't have any! [14:46] haha [14:47] i tried installing opera instead, but that just hung and ate 100% of my cpu [14:47] tortoisehead: what did you do to deal with the error? I had this problem, but it resolved itself, presumable after an update [14:47] tortise wait for qtfirefox :) [14:47] i'm pretty sure i edited a config file for dbus [14:47] which told the system not to worry about networkmanager (which i uninstalled long ago) [14:48] i'd settle for getting everything back to defaults at present === eric is now known as Guest83287 [14:48] tortoisehead: have you tried creating a new firefox profile? [14:48] i'm trying to install kubuntu on my wife's computer and after a successful install, the reboot message says that it cannot find the harddrive - any ideas [14:48] it's been a while [14:48] just rename the .firefox folder? [14:49] and then let it recreate one? [14:49] what do you exactly mean ? [14:49] tortoisehead: there is a know bug in ff3 that pertains to network manager which causes "offline" mode [14:49] well, since networkmanager is uninstalled [14:49] and it's still happening [14:49] i read the bug reports [14:49] which i think is where i got the fix for dbus [14:50] is the bug absent in firefox2? [14:50] tortoisehead: start firefox from terminal or alt-F2, with "firefox -ProfileManager" and from there you can create a new profile. if that works, you can delete the bad profile and use a new fresh one [14:50] i believe so....yea the dbus fix is the only one I know of [14:50] will that delete bookmarks? [14:51] i'm guessing i should move them out [14:51] * ForgeAus shrugs [14:51] can anyone help me on my install problem [14:52] tortoisehead: yes, you would lose your bookmarks, saved passwords, etc. there are firefox extensions that could help. look at foxmarks for your bookmarks [14:52] i'm wondering if the dbus fix is what's responsible for other apps taking forever to start up [14:52] hey i get this error while closing a dolphin window.. any help? [14:52] Unable to save bookmarks in /home/rabindra/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Reported error was: Permission denied. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive. [14:53] rabindra: and is the disk full? [14:53] rabindra- check the owner on that directory [14:54] huh, don't have any bookmarks anywaty [14:54] back in two minutes === alexandre is now known as Guest65770 [14:55] mefisto__: no the disk is not full [14:55] could the disk for root be full? [14:55] rabindra: did you install root and /home to separate partitions [14:55] ? [14:55] tortoisehead: ya [14:55] i ask here instead. i have a problem with my ATI Radeon 2900 XT card. Does anyone know how to configure this correctly? [14:56] rabindra: then what Dragnslcr said, check which user owns that file/directory [14:56] selje you need a kext or driver for it google can probably tell you where.. [14:57] still waiting for firefox to load [14:57] ahha [14:57] kext? [14:57] Dragnslcr: i am the owner of the d3lphin directory [14:57] i have a driver for it.... i think === Guest65770 is now known as Alex-fr [14:58] mac drivers are kexts right? [14:58] d3lphin like as in kde filemanager? [14:59] i use gnome....but i didnt get a good answer in #ubuntu [14:59] but under Device Driver it says: ATI accelrate graphicdriver [15:00] firefox hung on the delete/create/rename profile screen [15:00] i just deleted the mozilla folder in home and am hoping that will help [15:02] weird it seems like the scroll speed for shift+scroll is ok, but just scrolling by itself is still laggy (KDE4.1) [15:03] yeah, firefox still hangs at the user profile screen === mcas_away is now known as mcas [15:03] oops worng channel selje hehe for ati drivers go here [15:03] !ati [15:03] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:04] mefisto: still hangs on the create new profile screen [15:04] tortoisehead: did you try removing the whole app & re-installing? [15:04] yes [15:04] it's a fresh install of firefox 3 [15:05] i didn't remove all of the dependencies [15:05] hhrrrmmmm [15:05] but i could try that too [15:05] tortoisehead: if you've removed the .mozilla directory, you can just start firefox normally and it will make a new profile on startup [15:05] alright [15:05] try sudo apt-autoremove firefox [15:05] think that's the command [15:05] any reason for using autoremove instead of the other way? [15:06] just regular remove, i guess [15:06] autoremove should remove all dependencies as well [15:06] apt-autoremove is not a valid command, afaik [15:07] i wasn't aware of this ability [15:07] does synaptic have something similar? [15:07] try sudo apt-get autoremove firefox then [15:07] there is apt-get autoremove, which will remove unneeded packages [15:07] it's working its magic [15:08] alright, now try reinstalling regularly? [15:08] removing and reinstalling has never helped me in linux. sometimes it can fix windows problems [15:09] is firefox a gtk app still? [15:10] yep [15:10] alright [15:10] it seems most of the things that don't quite work right are gtk apps [15:10] the ones that decide to start half an hour later, if at all, i mean [15:13] there must be some other conflict then i'm guessing [15:13] do most apps have a debug mode? [15:13] if you start them from the command line? [15:15] look in adept search firefox...think i saw something in there [15:15] adept is a nightmare itself... [15:15] haha [15:15] crashing in the middle of an upgrade and then requiring several removals of locks and various broken pacakges [15:15] tortoisehead: apt-cache search [15:15] ok [15:16] zynaddsubfx, whcih also doesn't work [15:16] appears to use xml [15:16] * mrksbrd thinks tortoisehead should just reinstall [15:16] i'm wondering if the problem is there [15:16] well, i'd rather suffer without firefox than go through a reinstall [15:16] sounds like u have a lot of underlying issues though [15:16] yes [15:17] it might be worth noting that this install started out as a dapper fluxbuntu install [15:17] to me ....just easier to re-install then trying to figure all of them out [15:17] since that was the only disc lying around at the time [15:17] hmmmm [15:17] well, often it's only one or two issues that matter [15:18] i've got everything else working except firefox and the other crashing apps [15:18] plus mucking around in the guts of it is supposed to be fun, right? [15:18] haha [15:18] bet thats the problem [15:18] lol......ummmmmmmm no. [15:19] i couldn't burn a good disc of (k)ubuntu at the time [15:19] so the ancient fluxbuntu disc won out [15:19] this desktop is cursed [15:19] hehe flux isn't so bad [15:19] simple but lacks many of kde's features [15:19] my guess there is still some things that dapper is running that is conflicting with more modern progs [15:20] well, i am fine with fluxbox [15:20] tortoisehead: you might also want to try creating a new user and see if the problems are to do with user settings. if everything is ok with a new user, you'll know it's some setting left over from dapper, etc [15:20] just not with fluxbuntu [15:20] i hadn't thoguht of that... [15:20] not a bad idea [15:20] why don't you just use a dist-upgrade then? [15:21] well, it's currently dist-upgraded to hardy [15:21] tortoisehead: so you're still running dapper? or you've upgraded the dapper install? [15:21] no no no [15:21] haha [15:21] ok [15:21] good god no [15:21] everything should be up to date [15:22] tortise then install kubuntu-desktop [15:22] not if you didn't run dist upgrade [15:22] i did long ago [15:22] set let it set kdm as your default dm and you have kubuntu [15:22] (+ fluxbuntu) [15:22] yes [15:23] that's basically what i did [15:23] the only difference is i removed networkmanager [15:23] hehhe perosnally I get flux + kubuntu + enligthenment) [15:23] oh and windowmaker, forgot about that one [15:23] it's basically stock kubuntu + firefox + ubuntu studio audio (new as of a few days) - network manager [15:24] * mrksbrd thinks enlightenment is confusing [15:24] yes [15:24] i agree [15:24] windowmaker is even more confusing though [15:24] well I can't seem to find the standalone vers of engage... [15:24] not if your only in a windowmaker desktop, but if your in flux or kde its kinda, strange yes... [15:25] i tried window maker on debian a while back [15:25] then again so is compiz kinda when your in a kde desktop.... [15:25] it's cool-looking [15:25] * mrksbrd personally likes project looking glass....but can't get it to install under hardy [15:25] but i'd prefer something simpler or something more like a traditional desktop [15:25] yeah it sits well with debain [15:25] whats project looking glass? [15:26] i've never tried looking glass [15:26] sun java based 3d desktop [15:26] i don't even like compiz though [15:26] simple, reliable and not crashing, that's enough [15:26] I mostly only like the desktop cube and the minimization/maximization animatio nthat rotates the windows :) [15:27] do you find compiz useful? === lorenzo is now known as fenix [15:27] i think it's interesting to look at, but it annoys me when i'm using it on my own computer [15:27] the wobbly windows... [15:27] can you tell kate to embed itself into konqui instead of opening separate windows? [15:27] hehe kde4 has wobbly windows, but on both that and compiz they're optional [15:28] i think kde4 is never going to be stable [15:28] haha [15:28] "kde4 is just a preview" [15:28] nadie en español????????? [15:28] "kde 4.1 is still not feature-complete" [15:28] https://lg3d.dev.java.net/lg3d-getting-started.html [15:29] etc. [15:29] I think kde4 WILL be stable eventually but sofar KDE3 > KDE4... give it time [15:29] well, it seems their way of approaching it is very different than for kde3 [15:29] they keep projecting the point at which it is "generally usable" further into the future [15:29] unfortunately intrepid is going to make kde4 the default (ie .kde will be kde4) which means your 3.5.9 from Hardy will be upgraded to 4.1.x or so... [15:29] (or maybe 4.2??) [15:30] anyway... personally I'd rather keep kde3 so I'm hoping they have a .kde3 solution [15:30] if they're at 4.2 and still don't think they're stable, i'm going to have my doubts for the project [15:30] they just updated the 3.5 series to .10 [15:30] and there won't be a kde3 version of intrepid? [15:30] (currently its .kde and .kde4) [15:31] not sure 'll see if I can find out [15:31] if i didn't absolutely detest gnome [15:31] i might consider switching [15:31] tortoisehead: the definition of "generally usable" has changed as linux has made massive gains in popularity. generally usable used to mean usable by most people, though you'll probably have to tweak some things in config files - today it means "just works", which isn't the case with 4 yet [15:31] hi, twice now, my computer has just randomly shut off, and I've needed to reinstall my nvidia driver to get X to start :-S [15:31] and have you considered xfce? [15:31] daisuke_ido: i suppose you're right [15:32] xfce is ok [15:32] but i prefer kde apps, so kde it is [15:32] hey guys just installed kubuntu on a freinds machine , i myself run gentoo , but can't seem to get kppp working for him or figure out how to get adept working , it keeps saying break-install, hmm how do i get all the libs for a package to install [15:33] I agree xfce isn't so bad, but KDE is better imho [15:33] KDE 4.1 is in good shape. I've been using it for a few weeks now [15:33] i think "just works" is a massive mistake [15:33] just that concept [15:33] adept or synaptic [15:33] A few annoyances, but nothing that makes it unusable [15:33] 4.1 is kinda ok but still no kde3.5.9 [15:33] if you've been using linux for a while and try using mac or windows [15:33] you'll find lots of huge annoyances [15:34] true that [15:34] i am a compulsive clicker [15:34] lol [15:34] i click on things while waiting for them to load [15:34] and unfortunately kde doesn't seem to recognize my kind [15:34] haha [15:34] gnome does [15:34] you can click all over the place and things won't crash [15:34] if kde 4.1 fixes that [15:34] i'm on board [15:34] Windows isn't THAT annoying, well maybe UAC [15:34] not sure about mac tho [15:35] i don't like GMOME [15:35] using a mac makes me angry [15:35] for aesthetic reasons alone [15:35] can anyone point me to how to get adept to install a package and not show break-install all the time? [15:35] heeh using ubuntu's default (gnome) themes makes me angry for aesthetic reasons [15:35] yes, as it should [15:35] chocolate brown and orange? who's bright idea was that? [15:35] YippMN: no clue, but we're listening [15:36] tortoisehead: oh, "just works" is a massive mistake, because you can't make it "just work" for everyone. it works for apple because they have homogenized the hardware, but with an OS and DE like linux and kde, it's a miracle it works on so many different systems at all, let alone as well as it does. [15:36] i agree [15:36] though i'd prefer to have apps that crash less [15:36] over more features [15:36] Daisuke I agree [15:36] althought hey're put alot of work into it to make it do so... [15:36] YippMN: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/17971 [15:37] tortoisehead: ok so i run gentoo on my machine and portage just brings in the dependencies hmm but how do it do that in adept? [15:37] tortoise, depends on the app and how necessary the features are... [15:37] if the app crashes just as you are clicking on that feature [15:37] it's a moot point [15:37] haha [15:37] Yipp run kdesu adept_manager [15:37] a la the prferences button in kazehakase [15:37] i agree though [15:37] YippMN- Adept will get all dependencies [15:38] YippMN: i will tell you that adept has always given me trouble [15:38] YippMN- if it says that something will break, it's probably a dependency conflict [15:38] you can expand the packages in there to get a list of dependancies, etc... [15:38] its handy for when a package BREAKS [15:39] YippMN- two packages require different versions of the same package, or one requires a package that the other conflicts with [15:39] what ar eyou trying to install? [15:39] that will break the install? [15:39] this time I'm not upgrading to hardy from gutsy without using an old kernel [15:39] hehe [15:39] because last time the gutsy kernel wouldn't work with the locales package [15:39] try sudo apt-get update [15:40] (well gusty didn't but the upgrade FROM gutsy to hardy didn't) [15:40] then....sudo apt-get install --fix-missing [15:40] run it from terminal [15:40] Dragnslcr: well just trying to get things like firefox and xine and to have amao [15:41] amarok play mp3 it needs ffmpeg lib and they all show bresk hmm, unless i'm not seeing things right [15:41] !codecs | YippMN [15:41] YippMN: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:43] being a mostly windows user I still can't seem to get used to using Ark... [15:43] it does stuff I don't want it to do and I can't seem to get it to do what I do want it to do lol [15:43] gotta change the single clicking policy first of all [15:44] hmm well shouldn't it be simple to just tell adept manager i want so and so package and it gets it? [15:45] yes [15:45] YippMN- it is, but you apparently have something weird happening [15:45] but you have to add the repositories for the codecs, most likely [15:45] not quite [15:46] YippMN- what packages does it say will break? [15:46] ok so i searched for ffmepg to install it, and in the list i request install and it shows break install , now do i have to somehoe select all the libs and dependencies too? [15:46] I recommend VLC :) [15:47] >HELLO WORLD [15:47] Has any body have fake ap installed ????~?!!! [15:48] Dragnslcr: every package i can think of that i have on my machine i want to install on my friends machine , like firefox and xine and a few others [15:48] all dont answer at once [15:49] Dragnslcr: this is a brand new install of kubuntu [15:49] ok [15:49] hmm [15:49] Dragnslcr: i'm new to kubuntu and adept, i run gentoo on my machine and portage works nice but wanted to have my friend who is new to linux use kubuntu to get used to linux :) [15:50] "ANYBODY" used fake ap before???? [15:51] YippMN- that's really bizarre. Do you have any packages installed that aren't from the repositories? [15:52] Dragnslcr: well just what was installed with kubuntu [15:52] Weird [15:52] What version did you install? [15:54] Unfortunately I don't know offhand how to see which packages are causing the conflict [15:54] YippMN: did u see the commands I posted earlier? [15:54] You might try running update and upgrade without installing anything new [15:54] Dragnslcr: hmm well just i guess the latest version of kubuntu , i know it's kde 3.5.9 but gotta find where the kubuntu ver is hmm [15:54] it should be hardy [15:54] if it's 3.5.9? [15:55] tortoisehead: yes it is hardy:) [15:55] hmm [15:55] I dunno what else to suggest [15:55] can you update and then upgrade? [15:55] you'll have a million packages to upgrade just doing that [15:55] kde3.5.10 is in hardy backports [15:55] tortoisehead: you mean in aept manager? [15:56] yes [15:56] but everyone seems to be adamant no kde3 in intrepid :( [15:56] you could try it with apt-get [15:56] sudo apt-get update [15:56] then sudo apt-get upgrade, i believe [15:56] JUST TRY.....sudo apt-get update [15:57] tortoisehead: so just hit fetch update [15:57] at least you'll know if it's specific to adept [15:57] then .....sudo apt-get install --fix-missing [15:57] YippMN- yes [15:57] ok yup did update a couple times [15:57] YippMN- then at the bottom of the window it'll say how many packages can be upgrades [15:58] YippMN- if there any upgrades, the Upgrade button at the top should be active [15:58] hmm says there was an error dl updates hmmm [15:59] is this in adept or from the command line? [16:00] in adept, but in cl its saying , Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [16:01] ah [16:01] and; Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [16:01] well, you have to close adept first [16:01] Why won't synaptic go away? System monitor says it's a zombie but I still see it. [16:01] if you want to do anything from the command line [16:01] ahhh makes sence [16:01] YippMN- might be a problem with your sources file [16:01] ok cl update went ok [16:02] sudo apt-get install --fix-missing [16:03] ok 0 on all lists [16:03] run sudo apt-get upgrade [16:03] gr my computer just turned off randomly again, and I have to reinstall the nvidia driver to get X to run each time. anyone know how I can fix this? [16:04] ran upgrade now and says 0 on everything [16:04] Knotify is taking up all my CPU, how can I fix this? [16:05] when did you download this disc of kubuntu?: [16:05] so now if i want to install firefox i can just do sudo apt-get firefox? [16:05] apt-get install firefox [16:05] yes [16:05] couple days ago [16:06] it still seems strange that there are no updates [16:06] tortoisehead: says invalid operation firefox :) [16:06] there are ALWAYS updates [16:06] sudo apt-get install firefox [16:08] ahh yes forgot install in the command , but hmmm says now; [16:08] Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package. [16:08] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [16:08] is only available from another source [16:08] However the following packages replace it: [16:08] firefox-2 [16:08] E: Package firefox has no installation candidate [16:08] aaakk sorry [16:09] damn paste , so this means it wants to see firefox ver 2 maybe or how about ver 3 [16:09] for some reason repos are not updating [16:10] try adept again ...search firefox see if you get same break install error [16:10] but if i just got this two days ago why would there have to be so many updates [16:11] when you install off live cd it just install whatever is needed just to run [16:11] ahh i see hmm , so what would be the best way to instyall kubuntu [16:12] you have 2 options either cd or dvd versions [16:12] dvd version will have more to it, but will still need to run updates [16:13] ok did fetchupdate in adept and still not showing any upgrades or anything at the bottom but it did update ok this tyime [16:15] hold on one sec [16:16] ok now when i search for firefox-2 it shows me that ans also when i search just firefox and click on firefox-2 it shows install now when i do request hmmm [16:16] Hey i'm having trouble with a USB sound card on Kubuntu 8.04 (64bit, i think) - the card is "Asonic External USB2.0 8 Channel Sound Card", it is detected in kmix, the mute and volume buttons work but there is no sound output from the device, reviews of the device say it works under Ubuntu but i can't get it working (ALSA), can anyone help? Thanks :) (PS please put alsoconf back into kubuntu) [16:17] can someone help me? I installed libsdl-pulse audio when i had -alsa previously, and now sdl apps have no sound. I reinstalled the alsa version and it didn't fix it [16:17] mrksbrd: ok firfox is istalling now :) [16:18] ok [16:19] guess i jjsthave to be specific on each package name [16:20] yes [16:21] so how does adept work when there are a nuber of libs and so on that are neede for say xine [16:21] u can also just typing first few letters [16:21] i select xine-ui and it show break [16:22] usually once you select 'request install' it will automatically include dependencies [16:22] that is when you select main package [16:23] let me search for it ....I had same problem b4, forget how i corrected it......give me a few mins [16:24] in atails for xine-ui , it shows a list of required files , but if i request in stall it shows break yet hmm this shouldn't be this hard [16:25] gotta get going [16:26] thanks to everyone for their patience [16:26] see ya tortoise [16:26] adios [16:27] YippMN: try this then paste it in pastebin....link is on top of page......sudo aptitude install kdm [16:28] so what should this do then [16:29] will tell you what is needed & not needed [16:30] mrksbrd: http://rafb.net/p/1zY3IC22.html [16:31] doesn't look like it did anything === sorin_ is now known as sorin__ [16:31] salut [16:34] k hold on [16:35] am probleme cu kununtum [16:37] !fr | sorin__ [16:37] sorin__: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[16:49] mrksbrd: i select gxine or xine-ui thos are the two you need to run xine hmm and they both show break [16:49] Hi...can someone tell me if it's possible to only allow a single session per user? It's just too confusing for my parents. I want a more Windows-like behavior, so that user "Bob" can only be logged in once, and if he tries to login again, it resumes his old session instead of starting a new one. If Kubuntu can't do this, can someone recommend another distro that does? [16:50] are very few users on ro [16:50] hi im having trouble with kdewallet not saving/accepting my password, can someone advise me on this please?? [16:51] YippMN: don't know if GENTOO is the same as far as it goes as installs, but I've noticed sometimes U may have to re-install a couple of times to get a perfect install [16:53] mrksbrd: well in gentoo you ues portage in command line , and do , emerge -pv xine , and it will show what it will get including all dependencies and then you just take out the -pv which is pretend,verbose, and it installs everything ":) [16:53] mrksbrd: are you saying i need to install kubuntu a couple times? [16:55] mrksbrd: hmm when i have adept show details of gxine, it does list package relationships, i guess all the dendent libs and such, so how do i get it to install all the dependencies then [16:55] anyone??? [16:56] MachinTrucChuse: what are you looking to do bypass login [16:58] YippMN: that could be a huge list [16:59] mrksbrd: no...I just need to ensure that in this multi-user setup, if user Bob had a session, then user Jeff took over the computer and logged in (locking the Bob session), and then when Jeff was finished Bob tried to log in again, that Bob doesn't end up with two different "Bob" sessions. [16:59] I'm not talking about resuming sessions in the way Kubuntu means it, but in the way Windows means it. SAME processes, not loading a saved snapshot a second time. [17:00] for example, Firefox will not run if Bob already has a different session with Firefox open. Makes it unusable. [17:00] mrksbrd: hmm this silly it shouldn't be this hard to just install some new packages [17:01] mrksbrd: so do i need to reinstall kubuntu again to get things working righr? [17:01] YippMN: your right but sometimes the install "burps" & causes future issues.....it really is a good learning platform though [17:02] mrksbrd: and another thing hmm , i can't get kppp to work with the hardware modem , hmm i used to use it on my machine before i got dsl [17:02] plm [17:02] mrksbrd: so have you seen this burp on istall before with kubuntu , yeah i agree it should a good distro for my friend to learn on [17:03] MachinTrucChose: it shouldn't because everything with this is user specific [17:04] mrk: it says "Firefox is already running." [17:04] Yipp yes seen it a few times myself, would just install a few things...make sure everything looks good then go for it [17:04] in any case, I want to reduce confusion. Is it possible or not to make it one-session-per-user. [17:05] it's a pain in the butt, but solves alot of headaches later [17:05] mrksbrd: ok thanks guess i'll pop the cd in againand do a niother install , maybe it was cause i had kubuntu loaded running live cd and maybe i should just do install right from the start [17:06] mrksbrd: hanks [17:06] thanks === Deviance is now known as TimS [17:07] YippMN: have you tried removing the conflicting packages, then install xine-ui ?

[20:30] how is Xastir upgraded? [20:31] kblin: not all that familiar with virtualbox, but is it supported under 64-bit? [20:31] mrksbrd: it seems so, there's modules for the -20 version of the kernel, as well as older versions [20:32] also. virtualbox supports the VT bit stuff, that only exists on 64bit processors for all I know :) [20:32] though I guess that'd work even on a 32bit distro installed on a 64bit processor [20:34] mrksbrd yes it is [20:34] yea i know there is a lib file for running 32-bit apps under 64-bit, but can't remember name of it .....sorry [20:35] pim: maybe i'm thinking of KDE [20:36] i know i saw it somewhere [20:36] Hey guys, i having a problem with kdewallet not accepting/saving my password, can anyone help me on this please??????????????

[20:57] kevin ...np [20:58] it gives some errors about a cmos problem === eric is now known as Guest91869 [20:58] 1sec [20:59] sounds like grub is looking in the wrong place for boot partition [20:59] thats what i was thinking also [21:00] shane: try setting bios back to all default first, if that doesn't work then it's a GRUB issue [21:00] I would look into grub first, and leave bios alone [21:01] he origanaly did the install on a ide 60 gig but he also had a 500 sata atached im wondering if he didnt make an error in the partition but i have asked him to unplug the sata and reboot and he gets an error now on cmos originally it was a hard drive [21:02] shane_: you can edit the grub boot parameters by pressing the "e" key and correcting which partition it's trying to boot from. once you get it to boot, edit menu.lst to make the change permanent [21:05] shane_: so the cmos error happens before the grub menu appears? [21:06] is there a way to stop games from entirely stealing focus and making KDE keyboard shortcuts unusable? [21:06] like Quake, etc [21:07] mefisto: i believe so, thats why i told him to default the bios first, may not be seeing hdd [21:07] mefisto__: it happens whil the computer is still checking system it gives a cmos error and a f1 to continue and f2 to enter menu [21:07] f1 locks the system up and he didnt understand f2 [21:07] i had him clear cmos and didnt do a thing [21:08] but he can see bios settings right? [21:08] i will reset bios as soon as i get there im sure it is just a siimple error he made while trying to keep his sata as a device === mcas is now known as mcas_away [21:09] im not even sure he called me up a lil while ago and said he needs help,tryed explaining but he wasnt so clear [21:10] cause the f1 & f2 are locked in the bios & cannot be changed unless you hack the bios [21:10] im thinking reset bios and clear cmos then insure he did the partition correctly on the 500 [21:10] yea [21:11] anyone? [21:11] kk thanks for the tips and ill get on my way,i just wanted to make sure this wasnt another dell isue [21:11] have a good day all [21:11] grub often gets ide and sata confused. ie the disk order isn't always what you'd expect [21:12] he's gone already mefisto_ [21:12] yea but why would he be getting that f1 & f2 error [21:12] selam [21:12] hi:d [21:13] the guy might not just be doing something properly [21:13] yeah [21:13] or he did something terribly wrong [21:13] like spilling coffee on the inside of his laptop [21:13] but your right if he had both plugged in then i would agree grub issue [21:14] lol [21:14] I can't think of many ways to screw up your bios [21:14] but that is one of them [21:15] what...just doing something wron? [21:15] *wrong [21:15] no spilling coffee on the inside [21:15] or a bios that is no good [21:15] lmao....true [21:15] or a failed bios update [21:16] hardware failure [21:16] that's about it [21:16] I had a faulty bios once [21:16] it wouldn't boot properly, so I flashed it [21:16] guess what happened?

[22:15] lonewolf....any luck [22:15] ok it is unziped' [22:15] no mefisto__ ... it stopped working everywhere! [22:15] well, let's say everytime i use youtube there's always a fram prob but yes it works [22:15] ok open terminal again [22:16] (for frame prob i mean the image is divided in lines, weird cuz i correctly installed the nvidia drivers) [22:16] mado: can we see your xorg.conf please [22:16] go to unziped directory [22:16] !paste | mado [22:16] mado: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:16] I sill have it open [22:16] of course ... but please tell me first if you mean ... /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

[22:17] ok [22:18] once in the unzipped directory type ./configure [22:18] neWbie: try killall firefox; mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla.old; firefox & [22:19] what is it ActionParnsip? [22:19] nope [22:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/42244/ [22:19] neWbie: itll close all firefoxes, rename your firefox config files, then rerun firefox which will give you a stock firefox profile with no complications, try it then [22:19] ActionParsnip, and mefisto__ ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/42244/ [22:20] mado: are you german? [22:20] brb [22:20] will it remove bookmarks and stuff? [22:20] ActionParsnip: do you have an easy driver compiling link for lonewolf to follow [22:20] no ... austrian ... why? [22:20] neWbie: yes, but we're only renaming to test, we can rename back if we gain nothing [22:20] mado: Option "XkbLayout" "de" [22:21] ok, im trying it then [22:21] mado: do you have a special keyboard or is it a standard uk qwerty one? [22:21] it's a standard qwrtz like the germans use :) [22:22] lonewolf...does it it have a file in there named install? [22:22] sorry ... should have known before that you asked for that [22:22] mado: does the keyboard have a battery? is it cordless? === root is now known as Guest50709 [22:22] yes [22:23] well guys ... i'm sitting on a notebook :) [22:23] try ./install [22:23] mefisto__, i === supertux is now known as Guest59766 [22:23] mado: just checkin [22:23] ?

[22:25] mado: try running xev to check the button isnt faulty [22:25] * mrksbrd guesses mado hit the "e" key too many times [22:25] neWbie: no problemo [22:25] kewl [22:26] mrksbrd, ... pardon?? [22:26] too many times?? [22:26] joke!!! [22:26] uuuh ... ok :) [22:26] neWbie: killall firefox; rm -rf ./.mozilla; mv ./mozilla.old ./.mozilla; firefox & [22:26] sorry ... i'm currently taking nearly everything seriously [22:26] dr_Willis: can u help lonewolf3000 w/a.tar file....I suck @ them [22:27] where can i learn that stuff? [22:27] I now have both a .kde and .kde4 folders, and I have kmail messages distributed between the two of them, is it safe just to copy the messages from the cur,new,tmp of all the folders of one to the other? [22:27] thank you by the way [22:27] neWbie: what stuff? [22:27] neWbie: np man [22:27] all these commands === alejandro is now known as the [22:27] mrksbrd, depedns on what hes doing with it. :) i tend to cheat and use 'mc' to manage tar's or 'unp' to unpack them [22:27] neWbie: if you use cli instead of gui you pick it up [22:27] on the guides is not well explained [22:27] ActionParsnip, ---> lik* this? -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/42246/ [22:27] cli ? === the is now known as the_keeper [22:27] whatz that? [22:27] neWbie: cp = copy, mv = move and also rename [22:27] just a nick [22:27] trying to get his Arteros wifi driver installed but in .tar format [22:28] he has it unzipped ....just needs to install it [22:28] like this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/42246/ ?? [22:28] mado: exactly like that, you'll need kdesu to do it (or sudo if you use nano or vi etc) [22:28] mrksbrd, good luck with that.. :) i found 100+ft of cat6 in sale last week.. my house is all wired now. [22:28] mrksbrd: doesnt it work with restricted drivers? [22:28] ok ... i savd it now ... now i will rboot ... ok? [22:28] mado: totally [22:28] mado: if its bad, just uncomment [22:29] mado: then reboot, and yuo will be back [22:29] see's the card but no other info on it....let me try to find his pastebin for ya [22:29] ok ... s _ _ ... you guys soon [22:29] Hi, any one suffer this .kde and .kde4 mess? [22:29] mrksbrd: can you give us a pastebin of lspci [22:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/42242/ [22:30] hardy: yes as not all apps are kde4 friendly, so you have kde3 libs as well [22:30] what package do i need for my C compiler to be able to make executables [22:30] ActionParsnip: but now I have my kmail messages distributed between the two of them, is it safe just to copy the messages from the cur,new,tmp of all the folders of one to the other? [22:31] there is his pastebin....lonewolf I have to go for now but will be back on in prolly an hr or so...........sorry [22:31] hardy: I dont use it so have no idea, you could back them up and give it a go, then you can roll back [22:32] ActionParsnip: ok, I would give it a shot thanks [22:32] hardy: make copies in your ~/ and have fun, if its bad, copy back [22:32] Hmm.. weird.. Got a windows drive mounted with ntfs-3g. root user can access/delete files and SOME directories.. but not all.. mc gives 'error 95 not permitted' can ntfs some how have directories super-protected or somthing? silly 'My Documents' directory wont delete! [22:32] * mrksbrd will be back in an hr or so...... [22:33] dr_Willis: if the file / folder has funky permissions then you cant touch it [22:33] rmdir 'My Music' [22:33] rmdir: failed to remove `My Music': Operation not supported [22:34] dr_Willis: like mydocs [22:34] this is a vista-ntfs. ive never noticed this on XP ntfs's befor. [22:35] I love how 'My Music' is so CRITICAL.. that it cent be deleted! while somthing like windows/Justaboutanything can be. :) [22:35] Logical eh. :) [22:35] dr_Willis: its all about permissions and read / write permissions etc [22:35] i gtg peeps [22:35] werd [22:36] dr_Willis: what about sudo rm -r 'My Music' [22:36] ActionParsnip, ... mefisto__ ... at the moment it works :) === gkffjcs_ is now known as gkffjcs [22:36] i can press the letter 'e' :) [22:36] mefisto__, the directory is empty. [22:37] Looks like its some sort of protection ntfs is doing. [22:37] mado: any special keys that were working before, that don't work now? [22:37] How would one add a startup command? [22:37] !startup [22:37] To make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [22:37] hmm ... don't know ... but the "print"-button didn't work before and after the uncommenting of the line in the file [22:38] depends on the command and what you doing exactly OzoneNerd [22:38] the "print"-button normally starts "ksnapshot" [22:38] thanks, ubottu* [22:38] hey people. What is that scim applet and how do I get it to stop what it is doing? [22:38] It keeps messing up my keyboard settings [22:39] mado: try editing the menu and add a keyboard shortcut to ksnapshot [22:39] ok ... thank you for that ... and erm ... [22:39] I have the normal keyboard layout applet which (in my case) let's me choose between USA and USA (intl) keyboard layouts [22:39] there is a message displayed ... after i log in ... [22:39] it disappears quickly [22:40] but i could see it has something to do with the sound [22:40] but then I also have this skim applet which let's me choose between Other - English/European and ENglish/KEyboard [22:40] somehow that's gets set to English/Keyboard sometimes, messing up my keyboard layout [22:40] when I then reset it to Other -English/European, everything is ok again [22:41] Does any one know how to install tar files [22:41] but after a while, it gets set back to English/Keyboard [22:41] Lonewolf3000: you don't install them [22:41] they are archives, like zip [22:41] you unpack them [22:42] just doubleclick them and you should get an archive manager that lets you unpack them to a folder of your choice [22:42] mefisto__, do you have an idea which short-cut i should use for ksnapshot? [22:42] if someone provided a program inside a tar file for you to install, than you should read their documentation on how to install them [22:43] often the docs are in the tarfile in a textfile like INSTALL.txt or something [22:43] tar xzvf whatever.tgz [22:43] cd DIRETORYItMade [22:43] if you are comfortable with the shell :) [22:43] ./configure && make (look for errors) :) [22:43] oy ... mefisto__ ... the short_cut-function doesn't work!! [22:44] if you are not gouing to use the shell.. then give up on compiling from source... [22:44] i tried it out with "windows_symbol + F12" [22:44] that is true, you have to start sometimes though :) [22:44] People need to get past this 'phear the shell' fetish [22:44] mado: the printscreen/sysrq button? [22:44] dr_Willis: true [22:44] or.... 'sudo apt-get install unp' [22:44] yes [22:44] unp Aboutanyarchiveyoucanfind.whatever.extension [22:44] :) [22:45] hi all [22:45] yes mefisto__ ;) [22:46] i've installed the newest version of kubuntu yesterday and something goes a bit wrong: the option to install widgets is missing from the add widgets window [22:46] mado: the shortcut is working? [22:46] any ideas? [22:46] no ... it doesn't work mefisto__ [22:46] * dr_Willis wonders 'what add widgits' window... [22:47] mado: does it accept the shortcut? does it show the key you entered? [22:47] yes mefisto__ [22:47] dr_Willis: that's on KDE 4 [22:47] WaR|OcK, i was just about to ask that.. :) [22:48] is someone having problems connecting to MSN Messenger with Kopete or Kmess now? [22:48] mado: and have you clicked the save button in menu editor? [22:48] yes [22:49] dr_Willis: any ideas what's causing that???? it was there yesterday, but today it has just desappeared [22:49] I dont use kde4. so No. [22:49] Kde4 is still very much a work in progress.. I can wait. :) [22:50] mado: kde4? or kde3? [22:50] kde4 ... why? mefisto__ ... [22:50] mado: I just tried it (in kde4) and it doesn't work for me either [22:50] uhuu ... i see [22:51] then i'm glad not to be the only one with this problem :) [22:52] Kde4 is still very much a work in progress.. Is sooo true. :) [22:52] dr_Willis, ... does this mean you should wait for it till october? [22:53] mado, do what you want. dosent matter to me much. [22:53] kde4 will not be perfect in october. :) but it will be better I imagine [22:53] and it will be even better-er in dec... [22:54] no ... that wasn't what i meant ... if you want to use a stable system ... it's better to use kde3 ?? [22:54] kde4 is a work in progress.. :) no one ever said it was stable [22:54] :) [22:55] I will stick with kde3 for a long time i imagine [22:56] uhuu :) ... [22:57] ok guys ... i'm sorry but i have to go away now for some hours ... see you soon [22:57] * dr_Willis goes back to cleaning out his computer [22:57] with 500+gb hd's its amazing the cruft that accumulates... [22:57] mado [22:58] I just figured out the shortcut thing for him and he just left [22:59] I'm getting a new 500gb hd in a few days. I'm sure I'll *never* manage to fill it :) [23:00] I now have a 500gb and 400gb hd in this box.. cleaning out cruft and reorganizing right now [23:00] anyone know any good rpg style games for linux? [23:00] Depends on what you want. :) [23:00] Crossfire, theres also the old nethack, and variants, [23:01] then ya got all the emulators and SNES/Dos/other games. [23:01] Hi, How can I tell which Device driver is used for my VGA in Intrepid? xorg.conf states Section "Device" [23:01] Identifier "Configured Video Device", ?? [23:01] I wonder if 'Fate' works with wine. [23:02] hardy: what does it say on the "driver" line in that section? [23:02] grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf ---------> Driver 'nvidia' [23:03] i installed kubuntu with kde4 yesterday and for some reason the Install Widgets option you get when you go to add widgets has gone missing [23:03] any ideas? [23:03] mefisto__, dr_Willis: there is no Driver line in the whole file [23:03] Thats the X autoconfig stuff doing its job then I imagine [23:03] the x logs may tell you what driver its using. [23:03] oh wow [23:04] graphics are from the 80's [23:04] anyone useses guarddog? can't ftp [23:04] DarkriftX, how...vague.. :) [23:04] crossfire [23:04] i couldnt find a ss page, so i installed [23:04] DarkriftX, Theres that nethack-redone with 3d iso gfx also. [23:05] crossfire is neat.. and yes. the gfx are minimal.. theres different clients for it with different gfx. [23:05] Crossfire is a little.. odd.. in ways. :) [23:06] DarkriftX: sauerbraten is not bad. don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, but it's in repos [23:07] looks good [23:07] but im looking for a mindless rpg style game [23:07] old school dnd without the old school lol [23:08] guess since windows doesnt have many, linux would have fewer [23:08] dr_Willis: but I have lines like LoadModule: "ati" LoadModule: "radeon" so who can I tell which one is the one used? [23:09] DarkriftX: http://www.wesnoth.org/ like that? [23:11] Dose anyone know how to install Madwifi [23:12] Lonewolf3000: what does the install file say? have you looked at that? [23:12] modules are not the same as the 'Driver' Line. I imagine you are using either the 'ati' driver' or the 'fglrx' driver. [23:12] I dont use ATI cards any more [23:12] I have and still no luck [23:13] DarkriftX, 'Falcons Eye' - nethack -revisited... [23:13] Wesnoth is a Must play game also. :) its not really a RPG however. [23:14] warning: wesnoth can get addictive. I don't like games much, but have wasted many hours on it [23:14] um hello i have a quick question [23:15] how do i run a binary [23:16] Lonewolf3000: have you read http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [23:17] Ratchet4620 ./file.bin [23:18] ok thanks [23:18] or sh ./whatever.bin [23:19] but we feel we have to ask... 'what .bin' are you messing with? [23:19] we? speak for yourself [23:20] * dr_Willis speaks for all! [23:20] :) [23:20] since 90% of the times someone wanting to run a .bin is trying to install things allready in one of the many repos. [23:20] its hplip [23:21] trying to install a HP printer [23:21] it want me to update plip [23:21] *hplip [23:21] try apt-cache search hplip [23:21] does a package with that name come up? [23:22] ok [23:22] can some one that knows how to do this PM me [23:22] hplip is installed by default, isn't it? [23:23] its like 4 versions outdated [23:23] and wont run my printer [23:24] engineer: yes lots of them [23:24] ok Ratchet4620 [23:24] I was thinking there was some extra packages/files/drivers for some of the HP printers that were not nstalled by default [23:25] if the one in the reps is too old [23:25] install that one [23:25] It may be a good idea to check the forums and cups.org for info on your EXACT hp printer you have also. [23:26] thats a fun one ive never been able to figure out how to install cups [23:26] There may be some updated unofficial packages somewhere. [23:26] or a printer on cups [23:26] i mean [23:26] cups is installed by default.. i just use the web interface [23:27] or the gnome-cups-manager tool. (its a little easier to use then the kde cups tool) [23:27] i allready have it i ment i cant fuigure out how to install a printer [23:27] XD [23:27] I noticed under the latest ubu/kubuntus now.. it auto sees/installs my printer. saves me the hassle. [23:28] Ive even seen where cups sees/setups the other linux box's printers that are using cups also. [23:28] wow [23:28] But i think that bit is disabled in ubuntu for security [23:28] Ive trimmed down my # of printers also. :) [23:31] Ratchet4620: so have you installed the new hplip? [23:34] i have a .run file but i dont know how [23:35] sh whatever.run [23:35] or chmod +x whatever.run [23:35] sudo ./whatever.run [23:35] ok [23:35] i just started using Kubuntu... i dont want to give up on it but everything is so different === linuxmce is now known as azlon [23:36] A different OS is Different! :) wow. [23:36] azlon details... [23:36] I can imagine the Lawyers from MS getting excited if it was identical.. [23:36] I need somemone that knows how to install madwifi to PM me asap [23:36] i just downloaded firefox3 and it came as a .tar file... how do i install it? [23:36] sudo apt-get install firefox [23:37] azlon sudo aptitude install firefox [23:37] i figured .tar was basically the same as a zip, but when i navigate in i dont see a .exe (or something equivilent) [23:37] azlon- why not install it from the repository? [23:37] see... these are things i need to learn :| [23:37] azlon open a terminal or Konsole [23:37] azlon, dont expect 'exe' to install things in linux very much. [23:37] repository... just a place where Kubutnu keeps common apps that people download? [23:37] yes [23:37] azlon, firefox 3 is in the repositories. like engineer said. its easy to install [23:37] how can i get a list of programs? [23:38] open adept [23:38] they are all tehre [23:38] fire up the package manger too. (see the add/remove programs icon in the menu?) and explore [23:38] azlon: if it's in repos, it's easy. it will download AND install everything for you [23:38] i dont see it in system or utilites... where can i find adept? [23:38] open a terminal [23:38] type adept [23:38] enter [23:38] It's in System [23:38] Once you learn to use adept and the other package manager tools.. you reaize how badly done MS's install system is [23:38] no it's adept_manager [23:38] It'll be called Adept or Package Manager [23:39] i cheat and always install 'synpatic' since i like its interface better then adepts [23:39] !adept [23:39] adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [23:39] me too [23:39] but when upgrading [23:39] adept requires fewer clicls [23:39] adept is quicker at searches [23:40] clicks* [23:40] It seems adept always is like 10x slower when i go to install stuff. and it refreshes the lists.. [23:40] azlon got it? [23:41] engineer: hrmm... i did the suo apt-get install firefox but it says i already have the newest version [23:41] but i only have FF2 [23:41] FF3 is out for linux right? [23:41] what kubuntu did you install? [23:41] if you installed firefox3 while 2 was open/running .. ive seen that issue. [23:41] oh, hold on [23:41] engineer: i actually installed LinuxMCE [23:41] under 8.04 that is.. if you have earlier releases ff3 may not be out for it. [23:41] i think its KDE 7.? [23:42] eh? [23:42] Not a clue what MCE has. [23:42] this is #kubuntu [23:42] its a media center version of Linux... really f'n powerful [23:42] im trying to learn how to use it [23:42] Its best to avoide most of the ubuntu/kubuntu variants. Unless you know enough linux to understand the variants/differances [23:42] MCE has its own channel. [23:43] !mce [23:43] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [23:43] i know... i just want to get the basics of KDE before i start fart'n with all the MCE crap [23:43] There ya go, azlon, #linuxmce [23:43] it keeps saying command not found [23:44] what command [23:44] sudo [23:44] in the directory where the file is, type: sh hplip-2.8.7.run [23:45] if 'sudo' is command not found .. then ya got some issues... [23:45] or some serious typos === forge is now known as Guest89923 [23:45] sudo: ./home/ratchet/Desktop/hplip-2.8.5.run: command not found [23:45] Ratchet4620: you're the one installing hplip, right? [23:45] im looking for the adept program for a list of programs i can install... i typed adept and adept-manager. also looked in Utilities for Adept and Package Manager... anywhere else i can look? [23:45] Ratchet4620, typo..... [23:46] sudo su [23:46] Ratchet4620, ./fileincurrentdirectory.sh [23:46] then to the 2nd part of the command [23:46] Ratchet4620, yoru path is wrong with the . at the start. [23:46] ok === Guest89923 is now known as ForgeAus [23:46] how do I get konqui to load Java and flash plugins? [23:46] ./ =====> look in current directory [23:46] Ratchet4620: the hplip website says not to run as root, so leave out the "sudo" [23:46] azlon- we can't support anything other than Kubuntu [23:47] I didn't quite understand what I should do to add a startup script... I have a batch file and I want it to run when I login to kde. What command should I run to include this in the startups? [23:47] that MCE is definatly NOT for 'beginners' last i tried it also.. ages ago [23:47] this is kubuntu... the other crap just runs on top of KDE [23:47] azlon- no, LinuxMCE is not Kubuntu [23:47] OzoneNerd, what does the file do? You could copy it to the kde/Autostart directory [23:47] !linuxmce | azlon [23:47] azlon: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [23:47] !autostart [23:47] To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html [23:47] kde/Autostart? [23:47] Where is that? [23:48] hrmm... crap [23:48] thx [23:48] oh thanks... [23:48] ~/.kde/Autostart - be sure its chmod'd executable also. [23:48] OzoneNerd, whats the command supposed to be doing anyway? [23:48] Dreamlinux is debian based not ubuntu right? [23:48] Dreamlinux - Hmm.. i vaguly recall that one. [23:48] its the 'ubuntu variant of the week club!' :) [23:49] elive/elbuntu/ebuntu I think is ubuntu-based [23:49] dr_Willis: It starts up wicd. [23:49] dr_Willis: was that a joke? vaguely recall? [23:49] dr_Willis: And this requires sudo, will this be a problem? [23:49] mefisto__, i proberly looked at its live cd once... ages ago.. [23:49] OzoneNerd, that may be an issue.. you could use 'kdesudo commandtorun' [23:49] vaguely recall, as in dreams [23:49] That's what I was thinking [23:49] OzoneNerd, it should in theory ask for the password... [23:49] bbl [23:50] mefisto__, you are reading too much into it. :) [23:50] dr_Willis: I'm off to test it [23:50] I've been asking the wrong question all along! [23:50] I seem to recall Dreamlinux trying to look like OS-X and using some cutsy tux images [23:50] instead of how to nest a new KDE I just need to know how to nest a KDE SESSION! [23:50] OzoneNerd- if it's a system service that's supposed to be running, you should probably add it to /etc/init.d [23:50] a phantom is in my ubuntu [23:50] Oops [23:51] hello you there people, nice to be here. [23:51] hi blondet [23:51] what could i do? [23:51] Denise: exorcist? [23:52] a blonde engineer? [23:52] Xephyr can do that, but how? ie recall KDM to log into a new session (concurrently)... [23:52] ForgeAus, run it inside xnest, or vnc perhaps.. seen it done with xephyr also [23:52] ? [23:52] aactually, a smoll blond.. :-) [23:52] but i forget the command to make it launch kdm, vs. a window manager. [23:52] smoll [23:52] engineer are u chris? [23:53] yes deci [23:53] Denise [23:53] ok [23:53] :-) just kiding... that's my real name.
