| Schuenemann | hey, I want to format an unformatted partition with qtparted but it says I have to unmount it first. How do I do that? | 00:01 |
| MrKennie_ | if it's unformatted how can it be mounted? | 00:01 |
| Schuenemann | I don't know | 00:01 |
| Schuenemann | it had solaris before I deleted it | 00:01 |
| mefisto__ | Schuenemann: can't you unmount in qtparted? right-click the partition | 00:02 |
| Schuenemann | mefisto__, only property is shown | 00:02 |
| neversfelde | Schuenemann: whats sudo fdisk -l ? | 00:02 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, wait | 00:03 |

| favro | mn: dialup issues? | 00:04 |
| neversfelde | Schuenemann: and you want to format /dev/hda6 ? | 00:04 |
| Schuenemann | the error says: filesystem not correctly unmounted. You have to run e2fsck. Modifying a filesystem in this state can damage it. | 00:04 |
| allen | hello | 00:05 |
| neversfelde | hello allen | 00:05 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, no, it's just swap. I think it is /dev/hda2 now | 00:05 |
| allen | i just installed ubuntu but am having problems installing the gust additions, can anyone help? | 00:05 |
| mn | favro: nah, someone was askin about it over at #ubuntu an hour or two ago and I was just lookin to find out some more on it | 00:05 |
| Schuenemann | I didn't have any win95 partition | 00:05 |
| mn | im on satelite | 00:05 |
| allen | i am brand new to linux | 00:05 |
| favro | mn: there is !dialup - check it with /msg ubottu !dialup | 00:06 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, it is 15 GB. It doesn't seem to be listed there | 00:06 |
| MrKennie_ | allen: do you mean guest additions? are you using virtualbox or something? | 00:06 |
| mn | aiight, thx | 00:06 |
| allen | yes, sorry, using sun virtual box | 00:06 |
| allen | and yes, guest additions | 00:06 |
| neversfelde | Schuenemann: mhh, it was a swap partition? Have you tried it with live cd? | 00:07 |
| MrKennie_ | allen: I think ubuntu has all you need already | 00:07 |
| allen | how do I get it to see a bigger screen size? | 00:07 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, no, it had opensolaris. | 00:07 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, take a look at this: http://img295.imageshack.us/my.php?image=qtpartedgz4.jpg | 00:08 |
| neversfelde | sure about hda2? hda6 has a solaris | 00:08 |
| MrKennie_ | allen: under system settings | 00:08 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, please, take a look at that picture. It calls hda2 the union of hda5 and 6 | 00:09 |
| allen | i figured it out | 00:10 |
| MrKennie_ | allen: you could install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils via adept too | 00:10 |
| MrKennie_ | allen: not sure what you get because I've never run ubuntu using virtualbox | 00:10 |
| allen | mrkennie: thanks, i' got it to install. it was a basic linux issue using SH. I am brand new to the linux world | 00:11 |
| neversfelde | Schuenemann: sorry, I do not use qtparted ,so I cannot trust it. Probably it is a mistake. | 00:11 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, what should I do? | 00:12 |
| neversfelde | Schuenemann: boot a live cd and take a lokk at your partitions | 00:13 |
| Schuenemann | using what? | 00:13 |
| neversfelde | Schuenemann: fdisk | 00:13 |
| Schuenemann | neversfelde, but will fdisk show an unformatted partition? | 00:14 |
| === c is now known as enhazed | ||
| MrKennie_ | cfdisk is a little more user friendly | 00:14 |
| neversfelde | or parted | 00:15 |
| Schuenemann | it looks like DOS fdisk | 00:15 |
| neversfelde | there are several tools | 00:15 |
| Schuenemann | let me upload for you what cfdisk is showing | 00:15 |
| Schuenemann | here: http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cfdiskmc6.jpg | 00:16 |
| MrKennie_ | fdisk, cfdisk etc will show any partition formatted or not | 00:16 |
| Schuenemann | fdisk -l isn't showing it | 00:17 |
| Schuenemann | there is a "free space" below hda6 there | 00:17 |
| Schuenemann | that's the I wanted to format | 00:17 |
| neversfelde | sorry, 1:18 am here in Germany. Have to go. gn8 everybody | 00:18 |
| MrKennie_ | night | 00:18 |
| Schuenemann | alright, bye | 00:18 |
| MrKennie_ | Schuenemann: you need to create a partition where the free space is | 00:18 |
| Schuenemann | MrKennie_, ok, I couldn't with qtparted, but cfdisk seems to be able | 00:19 |
| Schuenemann | MrKennie_, can you tell me what is the difference between a logical or primary partition? | 00:19 |
| MrKennie_ | I don't really know the specifics | 00:20 |
| MrKennie_ | I'm sure someone here does | 00:20 |
| Schuenemann | oh well, I'll make it logical as my ubuntu one is too | 00:22 |
| grendal_prime | whats the handy dandy pkg that makes shred an item in the right click menu? | 00:24 |
| MrKennie_ | kgpg iirc | 00:25 |
| buckethead | Good christ - 31 sec lag! Anybody know how to decode a base64-gzip? I try to gunzip it and it says its not a valid gzip. | 00:27 |
| grendal_prime | hmmm nope that gives me the right click encrypt option..but ummm no shred | 00:28 |
| grendal_prime | its werid i have a machine here...its a debian testing install..it has it...but it has always had it. | 00:29 |
| grendal_prime | I can always just use shred in a terminal..it would just be nice to have it right there in the browser | 00:29 |
| mefisto__ | grendal_prime: what you want is a servicemenu for konqueror or dolphin | 00:31 |
| grendal_prime | konqueror would be nice | 00:32 |
| grendal_prime | i dont like dolphin much | 00:32 |
| mn | What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? | 00:32 |
| grendal_prime | got rid of it actually | 00:32 |
| grendal_prime | what is the big deal with dolphin anyway.. just seemed not complete to me | 00:33 |
| mefisto__ | grendal_prime: google "shred servicemenu" | 00:33 |
| grendal_prime | will do | 00:33 |
| MrKennie_ | ah it needs an addon. | 00:36 |
| anom01y | anyone know how to get IVTV drivers to work ? | 00:44 |
| grendal_prime | thanks mefisto__ i found something with that | 00:48 |
| mefisto__ | grendal_prime: was it a shred.desktop file? | 00:49 |
| grendal_prime | now i can get rid of all this damn porn | 00:49 |
| grendal_prime | heheheh | 00:49 |
| grendal_prime | ya that seems to work | 00:49 |
| grendal_prime | just kidding on the porn by the way. | 00:49 |
| mefisto__ | those servicemenus can be handy. you can always make your own too. they're just text files | 00:50 |

| ubottu | IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy | 00:52 |
| afeijo | I have 2 sessions not responding, how to close both? I'm in my third session, lol | 00:55 |
| dbglt | afeijo: ctrl-alt-bkspc in the sessions doesn't work? | 00:56 |
| afeijo | didnt try, wait | 00:56 |
| anom01y | to anyone who knows anything here or cares to know things: the instructions on that IVTV link are useless and screw things up | 00:56 |
| mn | What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? | 00:56 |
| afeijo | dbglt: now both session shows as not used, but they remain in the sessions list | 00:57 |
| anom01y | apparently all you have to do is apt-get install ivtv-utils, not all the rest of the instrucitons there | 00:57 |
| dbglt | afeijo: hrmmm, they aren't running this way, but I'm not sure how to remove them from the list | 00:59 |
| dbglt | afeijo: I would have thought it would be done automatically | 00:59 |
| anom01y | anyone know how to configure ivtv ? | 00:59 |
| afeijo | dbglt: ow, one is gone, one to go :) it take some time here | 01:00 |
| dbglt | afeijo: :) | 01:00 |
| afeijo | dbglt: the important is it closed firefox, now I can open in other session | 01:00 |
| afeijo | thanks! | 01:00 |
| mn | What does it mean when I'm getting Hits while apt-get updating? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/44371/ | 01:01 |
| dbglt | mn: it's fine. Jusrt means it found the server | 01:02 |
| mn | did it update though? | 01:02 |
| dbglt | nm: aye. The last two lines tell you that | 01:03 |
| anom01y | I need help with IVTV anyone here know anything about this ? | 01:03 |
| mn | sorry, linux noob | 01:04 |
| anom01y | !ivtv | 01:04 |
| ubottu | IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy | 01:04 |
| mn | so fetched and reading mean it got the packages? | 01:05 |
| dbglt | mn: yep | 01:07 |
| anom01y | how do I undo this command: wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu/80DF6D58.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 01:07 |
| dbglt | and is updating the database | 01:07 |
| dbglt | anom01y: sudo apt-key list, and find the key | 01:07 |
| dbglt | anom01y: sudo apt-key delete <key> | 01:07 |
| anom01y | the help provided by !ivtv screws up your computer | 01:07 |
| dbglt | anom01y: mmm? Installing a gpg key shouldn't do much | 01:08 |
| anom01y | no, well running the other commands provided by that help would have thank god they didnt work | 01:08 |
| dbglt | anom01y: why would it have screwed it, exactly? | 01:09 |
| anom01y | thanks btw | 01:09 |
| anom01y | ok well !ivtv goves you wrong instrutctions, I went in #ubuntu and they told me not to do what I was doing, | 01:09 |
| anom01y | !ivtv | 01:09 |
| ubottu | IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy | 01:09 |
| anom01y | then again, I dont even know what version Edgy is, I have 8.04 so | 01:10 |
| anom01y | it is my bad I am a complete newb | 01:10 |
| BluesKaj | anom01y, none of that rap ghetto talk here please , use plain english so we can understand you | 01:11 |
| BluesKaj | lots of people don't know what "my bad " means and it's poor grammar and english usage | 01:12 |
| anom01y | uhh ok, how can I get IVTV working ? | 01:13 |
| mn | BluesKaj, alot of ppl use "my bad" these days | 01:13 |
| anom01y | I installed ivtv-utils, and then I tried mplayer /dev/video0, but I get nothing but errors | 01:14 |
| anom01y | do I need mythtv for my hauppauge pvr 150 to work ? | 01:15 |
| BluesKaj | well mn , it doesn't mean that it should be encouraged | 01:15 |
| mn | I agree | 01:16 |
| anom01y | !mythtv | 01:16 |
| ubottu | MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV | 01:16 |
| anom01y | well time to screw up my computer even more | 01:16 |
| BluesKaj | we have memebers world wide who are studying proper english usage and expressions that are grammaticallly incorrect can be confusing for them . I'm guilty of it too , cuz i forget sometimes :) | 01:17 |
| anom01y | glad there are people here who care more about grammar than computer problems | 01:18 |
| mn | :) Good point Blues | 01:19 |
| BluesKaj | anom01y, no there are apps like TVTime which should work with hauppage cards | 01:19 |
| mn | Could be considered idiomatic? | 01:19 |
| BluesKaj | mn, I think it's just trying too hard to be cool. | 01:22 |
| mn | lol you may be right :) | 01:22 |
| BluesKaj | mn, I'm an old blues musician so I recognize the symptoms :) | 01:25 |
| mn | Lol | 01:25 |
| Toph | i have been having a problem with my network for some time now,,, i have 2 vista machines and 1 Kubuntu, has set up Samba. i can access the Kubuntu machine from both Vistas, and can see the Vista machines on the Kubuntu, but can't open them,, any ideas? | 01:27 |
| BluesKaj | Toph, I have to ask the obvious question : do you have filesharing enabled on all machines | 01:28 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 01:28 |
| anom01y | jeesh get more help in #linux then here | 01:28 |
| Toph | BluesKaj: i do | 01:28 |
| BluesKaj | anom01y, if you think #linux can help you more then ask your question there .. I answered your question but you didn't reply | 01:31 |
| BluesKaj | Toph, Vista has some odd security issues that we here may not be able to help with, so maybe ##winows can help you with that question. | 01:33 |
| BluesKaj | err ##windows | 01:33 |
| Toph | BluesKaj: ok,, thanks | 01:33 |
| anom01y | well I was told in #linux that I am missing drivers (after executing a dmesg command), so, my question is how do I install the ivtv drivers, I have a fairly recent kernel and am using kubuntu 8.04 | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | Toph, try mounting the shares manually from the command line also. Ive seen the kde and gnome file managers 'share browsing' feature - having some issues at times. | 01:35 |
| anom01y | the instrucitons provided by !ivtv | 01:36 |
| anom01y | !ivtv | 01:36 |
| ubottu | IVTV can be installed on Edgy by following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Edgy | 01:36 |
| anom01y | are for older versions of ubuntu | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | a bit out of date. :) | 01:36 |
| BluesKaj | anom01y, that depends on the file extension of the drivers , if they are deb files then it's relatively easy as are gz or bz2 | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | !find ivtv | 01:37 |
| ubottu | Found: linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic, linux-image-2.6.24-16-server, libvideo-ivtv-perl, ivtv-source (and 8 others) | 01:37 |
| Toph | dr_willis: could you please give me the command for mounting a share... the Vista machine is 'VistaBox', the share is 'MyDocuments' | 01:37 |
| anom01y | I am using kernel 2.6.24-19 | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | Toph, i dont rember them exactly. its the smbmount command I belive. | 01:37 |
| Toph | dr_willis: ok,, i'll check | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | Toph, at least you dont have silly spaces in the shares names. :) | 01:37 |
| BluesKaj | anom01y, have you looked at TVTime ? | 01:37 |
| anom01y | I installed ivtv-utils, but nothing works (vlc) | 01:37 |
| anom01y | do I need tvtime or mythtv or any of those ? | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | anom01y, mythtv is overkill for just watching tv. | 01:38 |
| BluesKaj | try tvtime , it won't break anything | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | !info tvtime | 01:38 |
| ubottu | tvtime (source: tvtime): A high quality television application. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-0.3ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 676 kB, installed size 1928 kB | 01:38 |
| anom01y | I just want to record from the video inputs I plugged in | 01:38 |
| anom01y | I don't really need to change channels or any of that stuff | 01:39 |
| anom01y | vlc's pvr settings don't work on /dev/video0, and the command mplayer /dev/video0 gives me errors | 01:41 |
| BluesKaj | I used tvtime with a sat receiver and remote ..worked fine | 01:41 |
| BluesKaj | with a crappy ATI TV Tuner card | 01:43 |
| anom01y | ok well I installed tvtime see if that works I guess | 01:43 |
| anom01y | tvtime says no such file or directory /dev/video0 (so Im not on crack) | 01:45 |
| anom01y | the guys in #linux specifically said I am missing drivers | 01:45 |
| anom01y | how do I install the ivtv drivers if the instrutcitons provided from !ivtv do not work ? | 01:46 |
| dr_willis | anom01y, OR the module is not loaded... | 01:46 |
| dr_willis | try a 'locate ivtv' perhaps. | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | or 'sudo modprobe ivtv' | 01:47 |
| anom01y | ok those are done | 01:47 |
| anom01y | no errors | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | now check for /dev/video* | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | ls -l /dev/video* | 01:47 |
| BluesKaj | anom01y, there are some changes that might need to made to your Xorg.conf file , but I'm not sure what thay are with your card. | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | also check dmesg output now. | 01:47 |
| anom01y | ok /dev/video0 exists, but tvtime doesnt pick anything up there | 01:48 |
| anom01y | alright thanks dr_willis that was exactly what I was looking for | 01:49 |
| anom01y | I got a picture, but its only a fuzzy picture, so I think I need to configure it with tvtime | 01:49 |
| anom01y | tvtime still gives me an error though | 01:50 |
| anom01y | what is video4linux ? | 01:51 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | i download icon set [for home, mozilla] icons are in .png how to hcange icons for applications? | 01:51 |
| anom01y | !video4linux | 01:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about video4linux | 01:52 |
| anom01y | !v4l | 01:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about v4l | 01:52 |
| BluesKaj | !info v4l | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Package v4l does not exist in hardy | 01:55 |
| BluesKaj | bbl | 01:55 |
| anom01y | dr_willis: ok now I see a bunch of fuzz when I use mplayer or vlc to access /dev/video0 | 02:03 |
| anom01y | tvtime still says error accessing /dev/video0 | 02:03 |
| edulix_ | {j #bash | 02:04 |
| edulix_ | ups | 02:04 |
| andrei | hi | 02:05 |
| anom01y | I remember I used to have to use mythtv and configure the channels everytime to use the tv/tuner card | 02:05 |
| anom01y | but tvtime doesnt look like it configures the channels | 02:05 |
| dr_willis | sounds like its tuning in static. :) | 02:06 |
| anom01y | yeah well I do remember specifically having this issue before, and all I would do is use mythtv, rescan all the channels, then it would work | 02:06 |
| anom01y | mplayer /dev/video0 would work after that, | 02:07 |
| anom01y | so, without mythtv how can I get around this issue ? anyone ? | 02:07 |
| favro | try googling for channels.conf | 02:08 |

| hpladds | Vermux_: yes | 02:41 |
| hpladds | dh8: what hardware | 02:43 |
| dh8 | hpladds: its a dell inspiron 6400, intel pro wireless 3945abg amd a bradcom ethernet card | 02:46 |

| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, how do I find the label of the partition I want to mount? | 02:49 |
| hpladds | as root fdisk -l | 02:50 |

| Vermux_ | hpladds: I booted with live kubuntu cd | 02:59 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I have to edit somehow the boot.ini win file, because I currently cant boot the machine into windows | 03:00 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: mount /dev/sda1 /name_of_mount | 03:00 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Ah live cd | 03:01 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes | 03:01 |
| hpladds | that explains it | 03:01 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happans | 03:01 |
| hpladds | dh8: Sounds like the modules are not being called | 03:02 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: the comp. was thinking for a while, now Im getting a new line in konsole, nothing is written | 03:02 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Does mount say anything different | 03:03 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happans when I trype it | 03:04 |
| Vermux_ | it is blank line | 03:04 |
| Vermux_ | how do I cancell that? | 03:04 |
| dh8 | hpladds: thnks ^^ | 03:05 |
| hpladds | ctrl +c | 03:05 |
| hpladds | dh8: You thought of that already didn't you? | 03:06 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: ctrl + c | 03:06 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: do nothing | 03:06 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Can you exit the console and open a new one? | 03:07 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes, I did that. mount doesnt give new info | 03:08 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I booted with this live cd | 03:08 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I have to edit the windows boot.ini file | 03:08 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Are you running Windows? | 03:09 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: not at the moment because I cannot boot to windows | 03:09 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: the machine is running windows usually, but it has a trojan now and I cannot boot now to windows, I have to edit the boot.ini file | 03:10 |
| dh8 | hpladds: yep | 03:10 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: ah I think I know what you're up. What Windows? | 03:11 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: xp | 03:12 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Version XP, Vista? | 03:12 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: xp sp2 | 03:12 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I need somehow to change back the boot.ini | 03:12 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /some/tmp/directory | 03:13 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: why fat? | 03:14 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it is ntfs | 03:14 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it says that mount point does not exists | 03:16 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: That was going to be my next try, if you want to try it first | 03:16 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: What did you type? | 03:18 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/windows | 03:19 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: and you've created /media/windows already (well the windows part?) | 03:20 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes | 03:21 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: You were right, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows | 03:22 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happaned | 03:22 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I recieve a blank line | 03:22 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: by the way I booted the cd and chose start using kubuntu | 03:23 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: You won't get a message saying that the partiton has been mounted | 03:24 |
| aotianlong | hi | 03:24 |
| hpladds | But it should show up in when "mount" | 03:25 |
| aotianlong | are there any other irc client for linux without konversation | 03:25 |
| aotianlong | i don't like qt based application. | 03:25 |
| anom01y | do I have to run that modprobe command every time I boot up ? | 03:25 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it didnt mount it | 03:25 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: grrr | 03:25 |
| geek_ | aotianlong: lots. xchat maybe? | 03:25 |
| geek_ | wait... | 03:26 |
| geek_ | aotianlong: why are you using KDE then? ;p | 03:26 |
| aotianlong | thank you , let me try | 03:26 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: what do I do | 03:26 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: I just mounted a ntfs partiton that way | 03:26 |
| aotianlong | i'm using gnome | 03:26 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: running live cd? | 03:26 |
| anom01y | hi I recently had to run a command "modprobe ivtv", do I have to do this every time I boot ? | 03:26 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: You're close here | 03:26 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ? | 03:27 |
| anom01y | how do I set up automodprobe ? | 03:27 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Nope no live cd | 03:27 |
| Vermux_ | help | 03:27 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: but if you created the /media/windows in the ramdisk it should still work | 03:28 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it doesnt | 03:28 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: ls -Al /media | grep windows | 03:29 |
| geek_ | aotianlong: ahh. #ubuntu might be a little more relavant then | 03:29 |
| anom01y | is there a better place to put stuff besides the kde startup script ? | 03:29 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happans | 03:30 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: ls -Al /media | 03:30 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happans | 03:31 |
| aotianlong | geek_: when i opened konversation,#kubuntu was automaticaily opened. | 03:32 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: ls / | 03:32 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: you really should see "media" as one of the directories | 03:33 |
| geek_ | aotianlong: yeah, thats cause its set that way. just pointing out if you use gnome, (and gtk+ apps) #ubuntu is more relavant ;p | 03:33 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, | 03:33 |
| Vermux_ | hp | 03:33 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes, I see it | 03:33 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: cd /media | 03:34 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes it's there, the windows | 03:35 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: then ls ./ | 03:35 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, nothing is displayed | 03:35 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: I'm stumped | 03:37 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: you have seen the sda1 in the return from the "fdisk -l" right? | 03:38 |
| hpladds | Oh is windows a directory or a file? | 03:39 |
| hpladds | did you "mkdir /media/windows" as root | 03:40 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I dont see now anything with fdisk -l | 03:40 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: Im not sure | 03:40 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: first things first: We don't see the sda1 partition, it's going to be very tough to mount. (smile) | 03:41 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: now we dont see, before that we saw it | 03:42 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: sudo fdisk -l | 03:43 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, now it's there | 03:43 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: great | 03:43 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: /dev/sda1 | 03:43 |
| hpladds | ls -Al /media | 03:44 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: ls -Al /media | 03:44 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happans | 03:44 |
| Vermux_ | just new blank line with no prompt | 03:44 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: That is weird "ls" is a basic command, it shouldn't cause trouble | 03:45 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: "ctrl + c" doesn't get you out of it? | 03:46 |
| Vermux_ | no | 03:46 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: now I closed the session and opened a new one. there is no windows directory | 03:47 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: we've seen it before though. | 03:48 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes, I created it again, tried to mount again but same thing, new blank line | 03:48 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: created sudo "mkdir /media/windows" | 03:49 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes | 03:49 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: I wonder what the permissions of the directory are? | 03:51 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: the windows directory | 03:51 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: This just a tmp file right? | 03:52 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Might as well open the directory wide open | 03:52 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: how do I check the permissions? | 03:52 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: this is using the live cd so I dont know where it opens the file | 03:52 |
| hpladds | sudo chmod 777 /media/windows | 03:52 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok | 03:53 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: no mount again? | 03:53 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: now | 03:53 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: I didn't expect to to yet | 03:54 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ? | 03:54 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: now that the permissions are wide open, lets try to mount it | 03:54 |
| hpladds | mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/windows | 03:55 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: nothing happans | 03:55 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: did you check "mount" | 03:56 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I meant, I got a new blank line with nothing in it | 03:56 |
| aotianlong | Vermux_: nothing happans is success | 03:56 |
| aotianlong | ls /media/windows | 03:57 |
| Vermux_ | I meant, that there is a new line but with no prompt | 03:57 |
| aotianlong | is there any files exists | 03:57 |
| Vermux_ | aotianlong: no | 03:57 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Give me about five min, I'm going to try mounting using a live cd, on another machine | 03:58 |
| Vermux_ | ok | 03:58 |
| === Alex135_ is now known as Alex135 | ||
| Vermux_ | aotianlong: maybe I should have booted the cd with a different option than TRY KUBUNT"U | 03:59 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Booting a nt machine with Ubuntu 8.04 disk | 04:01 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ? | 04:02 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Sorry I was giving updates of what was happening on my end | 04:02 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, maybe I should burn the ubuntu cd in the meantime? | 04:02 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: It worked | 04:04 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I dont know wahts wrong | 04:05 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: i can see the boot.ini | 04:05 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: what did u choose when booting the cd? | 04:05 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: Im rebooting | 04:05 |
| hpladds | The first option. Something like "try Ubuntu with making changes to your computer." | 04:06 |
| === ubuntu is now known as hoofin | ||
| hpladds | ooo * without making changes | 04:06 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I have Kubuntu, not ubuntu, is it make any difference? | 04:06 |
| hpladds | No | 04:06 |
| Vermux_ | I need "with making changes" right? | 04:07 |
| hpladds | no | 04:07 |
| hpladds | "without making changes" | 04:07 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: rebooting | 04:07 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I choose trry kubuntu | 04:08 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: or F4? | 04:09 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: try | 04:09 |
| Vermux_ | does anybody know what do do to run live cd so I can mount the windows partition? | 04:10 |
| hoofin | hi new to kubuntu anyone know how to get firefox from xp under kubuntu | 04:10 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: where does it save the directories I create? | 04:11 |
| Vermux_ | in RAM? | 04:11 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: in memory (ram) | 04:11 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, in a minute kubuntu is up and I'll try again | 04:11 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: here are the step I took | 04:12 |
| hpladds | from the cmd line | 04:12 |
| hpladds | sudo mkdir /media/windows | 04:13 |
| hpladds | fdisk -l (note the "l" is a lower case L | 04:13 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: how do u get to the command line? | 04:13 |
| hpladds | Termial window | 04:14 |
| hoofin | I have firefox on xp pro now I have kubuntu how do I get fire fox to run in kubuntu, xp dual boot | 04:14 |
| hpladds | You were using it before | 04:14 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: how do u get to the terminal window? | 04:14 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I was using konsole | 04:14 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I want to use the terminal | 04:14 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: that will work | 04:15 |
| hpladds | Application > Accessories >Terminal | 04:16 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ok, fdisk -l shows me /dev/sda1 | 04:16 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: and /dev/sda2 | 04:16 |
| Vermux_ | ok, how do I mount now the windows partition? | 04:16 |
| Vermux_ | it is sda1 | 04:17 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Does one have an asterisk indicating that it is boot (most likely sda1) | 04:17 |
| Vermux_ | yes | 04:17 |
| Vermux_ | sda1 | 04:17 |
| charles | hello guys | 04:17 |
| Vermux_ | I have also sdb1 but it is a memory stick | 04:17 |
| charles | imma HUGE no0b...:( | 04:17 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ^ | 04:17 |
| charles | anyone willing to help? | 04:17 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: Did you "sudo mkdir /media/windows" yet? | 04:18 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yes | 04:18 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: what next? | 04:18 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: mount? | 04:18 |
| hpladds | yup | 04:18 |
| charles | anyone...at all? | 04:18 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: r u sure it is mount -t ntfs....? | 04:18 |
| hoofin | I think there is only two people here | 04:19 |
| hoofin | besides us | 04:19 |
| hpladds | it worked for me | 04:19 |
| charles | im here | 04:19 |
| hoofin | me too | 04:19 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: r u sure it is mount -t ntfs....??? | 04:19 |
| hoofin | newbe | 04:19 |
| charles | i just need help understanding Kubuntu,,,commands,scripts etc etc | 04:19 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: It worked for me | 04:19 |
| gkffjcs | is there any documentation on the contents of the .local dir? More specifically is there any documentation on how to externally edit the contents of the kmenu? | 04:20 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: failed to mount | 04:20 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: mount is denied because ntfs is marked to be in use | 04:21 |
| charles | is there any documentation for noobs on Kubuntu??!? | 04:21 |
| charles | maybe...www.tldp.org? | 04:21 |
| hoofin | there is a whole lot of stuff for editing you should goggle what you are looking for the truth is out there | 04:21 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: ooo, I need to disconnect the memory stick I think | 04:22 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: how do I force that? | 04:22 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it is sdb1 | 04:22 |
| charles | ANYONe please...help me...im just wanting to learn | 04:22 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: fdisk -l to learn what devise is the memory stick | 04:22 |
| hoofin | im in your shoes here | 04:22 |
| charles | send me in the right direction to teach myself Linux and etc any docs or forums would help | 04:22 |
| charles | i believe theyre ignoring us hoofin lol | 04:23 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: umount /the/device/name | 04:23 |
| hoofin | just goggle linux forums | 04:23 |
| hoofin | I know | 04:23 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: the memory stick is fat16, the page file is ntfs | 04:23 |
| charles | my bro-in-law told me to check out www.tldp.org | 04:24 |
| gkffjcs | charles: what would you like to do? In general if you have a specific question ask it, else, there are a tone of resources online, try google, ubuntu forums, and linux forums | 04:24 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: it is not "unmount" just "umount" | 04:24 |
| charles | im there now but it seems as complicated as what im trying to learn | 04:24 |
| gkffjcs | charles: what are you trying to learn? | 04:24 |
| charles | gkffjcs...im just wanting to learn the basics | 04:24 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: what about sda2? | 04:24 |
| charles | im currently running Kubuntu with a GUI...but i want to learn scripts and etc etc and how Linux works and such | 04:25 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it says it recognized unclean shutdoesn | 04:25 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: I wouldn't touch sda2 | 04:25 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: I umount the sdb, it said that it is unmounted | 04:26 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: still same message | 04:26 |
| gkffjcs | charles: if you want to learn about scripting, then perhapse look into bash, bash is the default shell (command line) in kubuntu, you can ask about it at #bash | 04:26 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: because windows wasnt shut down in a clean way | 04:26 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: lets try some this: It worked as wellon my machine. "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows" | 04:27 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: $logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,1) | 04:27 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: same message | 04:27 |
| gkffjcs | Vermux_: try mount -t ntfs /dev/whatever /media/windows/ -o force | 04:28 |
| hpladds | I doubt the boot.ini is on the sda2 | 04:28 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: it says again the log file message and that forced mount, reset $logfile | 04:29 |
| Vermux_ | yay | 04:29 |
| Vermux_ | it worked | 04:29 |
| Vermux_ | !! | 04:29 |
| hpladds | Vermux_: I like gkffjcs suggestion | 04:29 |
| powertool08 | Can anyone here add m4a tracks to k3b without error? | 04:30 |
| gkffjcs | thanks hpladds | 04:31 |
| Vermux_ | hpladds: yay | 04:31 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: thanks | 04:31 |
| Vermux_ | now how do I change back the boot.ini to its original state | 04:31 |
| Vermux_ | currently its forcing the machine to boot into safe modwe | 04:31 |
| Vermux_ | mode | 04:31 |
| charles | im just wanting to learn Kubuntu,,,anyone know of any tutorials i could download and read? | 04:32 |
| gkffjcs | you should get a menu an the option the select with mode to start windows in. Select normal boot or whatever it is, and then shut down properly | 04:32 |
| gkffjcs | that process itself should reset the boot in windows | 04:32 |
| gkffjcs | charles: there a lot, try google, if you keep asking the same question you will keep getting the same answer. | 04:33 |
| gkffjcs | If you have a specific question feel free to ask | 04:34 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: what menu, I cant boot win. I mounted windows partition with kubuntu live cd so I can change manually the boot.ini file | 04:34 |
| gkffjcs | otherwise I don't know how to help you, nore will anyone else. | 04:34 |
| gkffjcs | oh, sorry, what happens when you try to boot windows? | 04:34 |
| gkffjcs | dose it boot at all? | 04:35 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: What does the -f option do? I just read the man -- still didn't understand. | 04:35 |
| gkffjcs | in what? ntfs-3g | 04:35 |
| gkffjcs | it force resets the log file, in case of a dirty dismount of an ntfs volume | 04:36 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: to make long story short, it is a trojan. couldnt boot to safe mode for some reason, so I tried to force safe mode with superantispyware boot safe, after that I cant boot at all, it gives the options of safe modes, normal, last know conf. etc. but it wont boot it to the operating system | 04:36 |
| gkffjcs | hmm, do you have a windows cd? | 04:37 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: so I wanted to change back the boot.ini file that I assume SAfeBoot changed | 04:37 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: yes, cant use the recovery console because it doesnt accept m password (probably the Trojan action) | 04:37 |
| gkffjcs | try opening /media/windows/boot.ini in a text editor and see what it looks like, | 04:38 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: so first, I want to change the boot.ini back so I can boot | 04:38 |
| gkffjcs | Vermux_: I don't know how to do that | 04:38 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: it says gkffjcs in support msn page the default of the operating system says multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect | 04:39 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: I currently have /fast detect /noexecute=optin /safeboot:network | 04:40 |
| gkffjcs | ok, here, one second | 04:40 |
| gkffjcs | http://pastebin.com/m4c61f4ce | 04:41 |
| gkffjcs | this is my boot.ini, compare it to yours, and see if there are obvious changes | 04:41 |
| gkffjcs | other than that this is a linux channel, and I am limited in my win knoledge, there is an unofficial #windows, maybe they can help you better. | 04:42 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: ok, thanks. the order is not important right? /fastdetect first or after /no execute... | 04:43 |
| gkffjcs | I don't know. | 04:43 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: so if I quit the kubuntu live cd it will save the changes I made with the editor, right? | 04:45 |
| gkffjcs | you need to save with the editor, if you open the file in a text editor then you ned to save in that text editor, it has nothing to do with the live cd it self, it's just like in anyother program, you change the file you need to click save. | 04:46 |
| Vermux_ | gkffjcs: thanks, I Saved it | 04:46 |
| gkffjcs | honestly I don't think you have a problem with your boot.ini, but I honestly don't know what else the problem is also in the recovery console try leaving the password blank and logging in as administrator, unless you specifically set a password for the "Administrator" user in xp it has no password, that might be the source of your password issue | 04:48 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: ok now I've reread the man page for mount. It does not detail a "force" option for -o. You made it up *smile* | 04:52 |
| gkffjcs | no i didn't, it's a fuse option, read man:/ntfs-3g | 04:53 |
| gkffjcs | or man:/fuse | 04:53 |
| gkffjcs | man:/ntfs-3g | 04:53 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: ah thanks | 04:53 |
| gkffjcs | hpladds: when ever you see a mount command with the form something something -o someoption, the file system is probabily based on fuse. | 04:54 |
| gkffjcs | for instance curlftpfs mounts ftp locations as a local fs, and you need to user for example -o user="username" | 04:56 |
| albert | hello everyone! | 04:59 |

| charles | can someone tell me how to install a theme on KDE 3.5.9 | 05:08 |
| charles | please? | 05:08 |
| gkffjcs | hmm, well, all that means is that it's not a dns problem, honestly I really don't know much about wifi drivers, dose the mad wifi have any configuration? Also are you using knetworkmanager? | 05:09 |
| charles | gkffjcs...could you help me? | 05:09 |
| charles | ive downloaded a theme and i need help on how to install it? | 05:10 |
| gkffjcs | charles: is it a whole theme, or just a color or icon theme? | 05:10 |
| charles | a whole theme | 05:10 |
| === charles is now known as charles__ | ||
| gkffjcs | ok, type alt+f2 | 05:11 |
| === charles__ is now known as charles | ||
| gkffjcs | and then type in "kcontrol" | 05:11 |
| charles | ok..now? | 05:11 |
| charles | app and themes...then theme manager? | 05:11 |
| gkffjcs | click on Appearance and themes, and sleect theme manager | 05:11 |
| charles | ok | 05:12 |
| gkffjcs | click on Install New theme | 05:12 |
| charles | when i go to the folder...it shows all the folders...how do i load all of them at once? | 05:12 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: I go to System Settings > network. I don't have knetworkmanger. | 05:12 |
| gkffjcs | hpladds: um, it's probabily actually in your system tray, it should be a little icon with signel strenth bars | 05:13 |
| hpladds | ps -A shows that it is running | 05:14 |
| gkffjcs | hpladds: try your system tray | 05:15 |
| hpladds | Ah, mine is a icon for an RJ-45 (I suppose) outlet | 05:15 |
| charles | gkffjcs....when i go to where i extracted the theme to it shows the folders...no files to install | 05:15 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: in th system tray | 05:15 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: wireless devices are only accessible via a right click on the icon | 05:17 |
| gkffjcs | yeah, that's it | 05:17 |
| gkffjcs | dose it show your connected to a network? | 05:17 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: Actually it says thatI'm not connected | 05:19 |
| gkffjcs | ok, so that means you manually configured your adapter, honestly, this is not where I really know my stuff, so sorry. What I would check is your dns, and see, if other services are able to connect to the internet, you might also check your bwoser settings to see if there is something strange there. | 05:21 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: Oh! I signed on from a console window. | 05:21 |
| gkffjcs | your using a console based irc client? | 05:22 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: That definately pointed me in the right direction | 05:22 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: Konversation | 05:22 |
| NightSpore | hello | 05:23 |
| hpladds | gkffjcs: I guess I don't really know the difference between a termial and a console window | 05:24 |

| HenryHeron | Need some help, please. Wish to install kde desktop on to ubuntu 8.04.1 from live cd (kubuntu). Can't find the option to do this. Thanks | 05:31 |
| gkffjcs | HenryHeron: what, so you have ubuntu installed on your system? | 05:36 |
| HenryHeron | Hello, any one here, knowledgeable re my above question. Thanks! | 05:37 |
| gkffjcs | HenryHeron: hi, the red means I responeded to you | 05:37 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs:Yes, correct | 05:38 |
| NightSpore | can anyone enlighten me as to how I can send a "sigcont" signal to tty1? | 05:38 |
| NightSpore | I could simply reboot later but I know there must be an easy way to unfreeze this session | 05:38 |
| gkffjcs | you cannot install stuff on a live cd | 05:38 |
| gkffjcs | you can install stuff on an installed system, and can use a live cd as a source of packages if you don't have internet. | 05:39 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs: well, I have internet connect (dial up) so I got the "live cd" but can find no option to just install kde desktop on current system | 05:40 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs:any directions would be very appreciated | 05:41 |
| gkffjcs | huh, in a live cd there should be an icon on the desktop, saying install to hard disk | 05:42 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs:but it only (apparently) offers a full install | 05:43 |
| gkffjcs | oh, don't boot off the live cd, boot into normal mode | 05:43 |
| favro | HenryHeron: if you put the kubuntu cd in and search it for .deb files you'll have what you can install of the cd | 05:44 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs:in my ubuntu OS or do I boot from live cd? | 05:45 |
| sancho21 | Font packs in Kubuntu is not as complete as ones in Ubuntu | 05:45 |
| gkffjcs | no, you want to boot into the installed ubuntu, and add the disk as a repo, then install form the disk | 05:45 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs:from synaptic pm? | 05:46 |
| gkffjcs | yes, in synaptic there should be a manage repositories option, make sure that the cd is checked as a source, and then refresh the package list | 05:47 |
| gkffjcs | I think that should work | 05:47 |
| HenryHeron | gkffjcs:THANKS. I'm embarrassed I didn't think of this... :) & thanks favro! | 05:48 |

| clapton_pt | I added _85 too | 12:53 |
| clapton_pt | without _85 works bad | 12:53 |
| clapton_pt | it's same | 12:54 |
| ghostcube | try _75 | 12:54 |
| clapton_pt | My problem is: I change xorg many ways | 12:54 |
| ghostcube | without .00 | 12:54 |
| clapton_pt | and redfresh rate always set at 87hz | 12:54 |
| ghostcube | clapton_pt: u can reconfigure it | 12:54 |
| clapton_pt | nvidia-settings always show me 87hz | 12:54 |
| JackTop | i need help to restore grub after os installs. i have my root on sda5 (including /boot). I get an error 15 when trying to boot | 12:54 |

| ghostcube | clapton_pt: if it works it is in the range of monitor | 12:55 |
| ghostcube | :| | 12:55 |
| ghostcube | so maybe remove this 85.00 and try only _75 | 12:55 |
| clapton_pt | my problem is "I cant change default refresh rate" | 12:56 |

| g33k_gir1 | i know | 15:19 |
| Razorcloud | wait are people having problem burning CD images? | 15:20 |
| gx009 | i'll give that approach a try.. just never really thought about it.. what program did you use to burn .iso to disc in windows | 15:20 |
| Razorcloud | if im not mistaken, its not just as simple as burning the file to the disc | 15:20 |
| Razorcloud | definately use infrarecorder | 15:20 |

| Razorcloud | i didnt yet | 15:31 |
| neWbieZ | yes it is! | 15:31 |

| Malique | PLEASE can anyone help? | 15:36 |
| lex | Malique: what is it? | 15:36 |
| neWbieZ | lex: well i guess so but the thing is that this horizontal line appears only when the subject in the video is moving vertically, if you understand what am saying | 15:36 |
| neWbieZ | i dunno how to explain it better | 15:36 |

| Razorcloud | but i can wait until your done with malique | 15:39 |
| lex | neWbieZ: on other video formats does the same problem happen, or not? | 15:39 |
| neWbieZ | if i watch one of my videos for example on vlc nope | 15:39 |
| lex | Malique: sorry, no idea. try looking through config files for cups... | 15:39 |
| neWbieZ | it's just on the net thats why i think its a flash prob | 15:40 |
| Malique | lex: the config file should be default, I haven't touched it. I have looked at it, everything is set to Allow All. I don't know enough about CUPS config files to tell much more than that | 15:40 |
| lex | neWbieZ: try going on topgear.com or bbc.co.uk/topgear and open a realmedia or wma stream. | 15:40 |

| JackTop | a question. i'm thinking for a multiboot system doing xp, osx, kubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntustudio etc, it might be better with a separate /boot partition. how do i go about moving the one from one of my root partitions to it's own? until now i only have xp/osx and kubuntu installed. /home is on it's own partition | 16:49 |
| Razorcloud | is your hard drive currently partitioned? | 16:52 |

| powertool08 | mu91t: sure, or any other media player you wish to try out VLC is always good to have around, it plays almost any codec without issues | 19:01 |
| mu91t | is there vlc for ubuntu on the synaptic | 19:02 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I used VLC in WIndows. Great player. | 19:02 |
| powertool08 | mu91t: yes | 19:02 |
| powertool08 | Jampiter: K Menu -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout | 19:03 |
| Jampiter | Thanks :) | 19:03 |
| powertool08 | Jampiter: if you check the enable layouts box and add at least two layouts then it puts a flag in your kicker bar and you can change layouts with one click on the flag | 19:04 |

| Daniel-Minifig | Do you think a 16MB ATI video card is good enough to be using in Linux. I doubt it can handle effects though. | 19:08 |
| jerome_ | hi all | 19:08 |
| Jampiter | I have something like that :p | 19:08 |
| powertool08 | Daniel-Minifig: i would think so, like you said, it wouldn't work well for compiz | 19:09 |
| jerome_ | Daniel-Minifig: it's depend of what you wxant to do, if it's for a server it's ok | 19:09 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I installed a PCI card to scrap the onboard video. Ubuntu forums says there is problems with the i810. | 19:09 |
| avihayb_ | I have an ATI radeon 7200 with 32MB. the 3d effects stop working if I push the resolution above 1024x768 | 19:09 |

| mu91t | powertool: is there any player to play an .ape file | 19:09 |
| powertool08 | lol, usually thats the first thing on the list after initial install | 19:10 |
| avihayb_ | then you can use an ol'e cyrrus logyc with 4mb | 19:10 |
| jussi01 | mu91t: vlc plays most stuff, you tried that yet? | 19:10 |
| powertool08 | mu91t: What's an .ape file? | 19:10 |
| avihayb_ | won't be fun tough | 19:10 |
| jerome_ | Daniel-Minifig: if it's for a old computer you want to put as a server whith no mouse no screem, no keyboard, no problem | 19:10 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Yeah, I heard all about Linux and the special effects like cube. I say I want to try out the OS and be used to it before trying to get the effects working. | 19:11 |
| mu91t | powertool: vlc doesn't play that....ape file is an audio file(lossless) | 19:11 |
| master_ | ok.. I switched from 64-bit kubuntu to 32-bit, since I otherwise couldn't get a number of things working, like flash on firefox 3 | 19:11 |

| powertool08 | master_: I'd check your Xauth logs in /var/log/ for clues | 21:02 |
| master_ | powertool08: each try adds another 27 lines to /var/log/Xorg.0.log but that includes no explicit errors. | 21:13 |

| sputnick | can I install kde4 from packages but no replacing kde3 ? | 21:15 |
| sputnick | I would like to keep both if it's possible | 21:16 |
| powertool08 | sputnick: I'm pretty sure it keeps both by default, at your login screen you can click on sessions and choose | 21:16 |
| sputnick | I'm under Ubuntu hardy | 21:16 |
| master_ | powertool08: dmesg doesn't show anything for each login attempt.. the kdm log adds 6 lines each time.. stuff like synapticsDeviceOn called and synapticsDeviceOff called and SynapticsDeviceInit called.. | 21:17 |
| master_ | powertool08: at the end of Xorg.0.log, it also said synapticsDeviceOff called.. | 21:18 |
| master_ | Might that mean anything? | 21:18 |

| RurouniJones | Er, don't know what you mean byt he screenshot but AFAIK they minimise to the left | 21:50 |
| CapitalT_ | RurouniJones: the panel should've minimized vertically (sideways), not horizontally. It wastes space this way | 21:52 |
| CapitalT_ | RurouniJones: it already does that on Windows, and since Eclipse is written in Java I fail to see why that's not the case on Ubuntu | 21:53 |

| ForgeAus | I just know that there is one there, and I don't know how to mount it lol | 23:19 |

| martalli | I know that this channel is still for versions 7.04 -8.04, but I have to say that the new version of Kubuntu is grrrrrreat! | 23:42 |
| Sixzero | you talkin' bout kde4 martalli? | 23:44 |
| martalli | kde 4.1.1 | 23:44 |
| martalli | I had some initial bumps, but I think this is looking great. | 23:45 |
| martalli | And the distro release is still in the alpha | 23:45 |
| Sixzero | whats up with that lil dodad in the top right corner? i installed it once and it lasted me 5 minutes. | 23:45 |
| martalli | Just wanted to be a gushing faboy in #kubuntu, since #ubuntu+1 is sullied by the gnome drudges | 23:46 |
| martalli | =) | 23:46 |
| martalli | what doodad? | 23:46 |
| Sixzero | The orange curly thing in the top right corner, I think it has something to do with widgets. | 23:46 |
| skinnymg1 | kieren sorry had to take care of something | 23:47 |
| martalli | Sixzero: Yes, its for adding widgets | 23:48 |
| martalli | They don't seem to have a lot of widgets yet, honestly. Personally, I don't care much for widgets...My wife has a mac and we haven't changed the widgets on that at all. | 23:49 |
| Sixzero | martalli: as soon as i clicked on it the first time i installed kde4 it crashed my comp so I had to reinstall kde3 | 23:49 |
| martalli | Sixzero: When was that? | 23:49 |
| martalli | I think the 8.10 alpha is fairly stable...although adept only started working for me this week (I prefer the CLI anyway lol =) | 23:50 |
| Sixzero | martalli: about 2 weeks ago | 23:50 |
| Sixzero | cli? | 23:50 |
| Sixzero | sorry, i'm still kinda new | 23:50 |
| Sixzero | !cli | 23:50 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:50 |
| martalli | It has been working for me....But I think I will keep our office on 3.5.x for the next iteration again, or until I am sure all the bugs are worked out. | 23:50 |
| martalli | Sixzero: No problems. Instead of using adept or update-manager, you can simply run the update from the command like (from the konsole app) by running the command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 23:52 |
| Sixzero | It was a real pain to get everything installed right on my shuttle box, even moreso on my compaq with a radeon inside | 23:52 |
| martalli | The first command updates the packages in the repositories, and the next command does the update | 23:52 |
| * martalli doesn't have any radeons | 23:52 | |
| martalli | But I thought that hardy and intrepid were going to work better with ati | 23:52 |
| Sixzero | i hadn't caught the abbreviaton for command line interface, that's what threw me off | 23:53 |
| Sixzero | <-- = dumb@ss | 23:53 |
| martalli | Sixzero: no problem =) Did you come from the mac or pc world? | 23:53 |
| Sixzero | pc | 23:53 |
| martalli | They don't use the command line much, unless you hail from the days of DOS | 23:53 |
| Sixzero | my compaq is a hackintosh dual-booting with kubuntu 8.04 | 23:53 |
| Sixzero | the last time I messed around with command-line heavily was dos 3.11 | 23:54 |
| martalli | Ah, sounds like you know your way around fooling with a computer, then =) | 23:54 |
| Sixzero | I'm young, but I started even younger. I used to have a real authentic copy of dos 1 for atari 800, lol | 23:55 |
| martalli | Linux is great for fooling around with the system, although stable distros like ubuntu, fedora, and mandriva should be able to do a lot for you with just a standard, stable install | 23:55 |
| Sixzero | the system installed great. it's getting the graphics cards set up that hurt you at first. | 23:55 |
| Sixzero | it took me an entire week to get just the right install/setup for that radeon card flrgxconfig would read it right | 23:56 |
| martalli | I started with Linux around 2003, but now the default installs are very useful and rock solid | 23:56 |
| martalli | Do you have an older radeon? I think the work on the radeons for linux is mostly with the newish cards | 23:56 |
| Sixzero | 9600 | 23:57 |
| Sixzero | I had similar birthing pains with the shuttle box. It's got an onboard geforce 7 and getting a stable driver for it was quite a chore. | 23:57 |
| martalli | Yeah, only after I wondered why I didn't have desktop effects did I realize that my laptop running 8.10 kubuntu was using the vesa driver. The resolution was fine, but the eye candy missing =) | 23:57 |
| Sixzero | exactly | 23:57 |
| Sixzero | Does anyone here know about configuring multiple soundcards in KDE? | 23:58 |
| martalli | yeah, this lappie has a geoforce go 7200...Somehow ubuntu just woulnd't recognize it, but with enough fiddling it seems to be working now | 23:58 |
| martalli | Sixzero: got me there | 23:58 |
