| martalli | i think that's a bug, but if you are trying to open wine games, I know the wine devs hate compiz.... | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| martalli | You can always just turn comiz off and turn it back on later | 00:00 |
| martalli | Once you have the graphics card set right, you don't have to carry that water again | 00:00 |
| Sixzero | just tryin to play nexuiz | 00:01 |
| Sixzero | how do i turn comiz off? | 00:01 |
| martalli | which distro are you using? | 00:01 |
| Sixzero | kubuntu 8.04 | 00:01 |
| martalli | Try going to syste-settings - > Look & Feel -> Desktop and see if there ius a section or tab for desktop effects | 00:02 |
| martalli | Honestly I am looking at my 4.1.1 system settings right now, but I am guessing it is similar. Another place to look *might* be system settings -> Look & Feel -> Appearance | 00:03 |
| Sixzero | it has appearance, but nothing about compiz or window behavior. | 00:04 |
| martalli | try going to the command line, type "desktop" and then hit the tab key ("desktop<tab>") | 00:05 |
| martalli | What do you get? | 00:05 |
| Sixzero | desktop-effects-kde4... | 00:05 |
| Sixzero | ? | 00:05 |
| martalli | I think that's what you need...but I am loath to suggest it. Just a second | 00:07 |
| martalli | I think that is actually the command...see this release regarding the alpha version of hardy: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyHeron/Alpha4/Kubuntu | 00:08 |
| martalli | However, i think the desktop effects on kde 3.5 in 8.04 are a mixed bag | 00:10 |
| Sixzero | Your suggestion worked. It allowed me to turn off the effects, at least, without having to uninstall. | 00:10 |
| martalli | great | 00:10 |
| martalli | I have to get going. Have a good evening and good luck with kubuntu! | 00:10 |
| Sixzero | You too. Thank ya kindly. | 00:10 |
| ian__ | I need a little help with my Wi-Fi Card. | 00:24 |
| CoJaBo_ | Is there a way to auto-hide the taskbar in Kubuntu KDE4? | 00:25 |
| ian__ | @CoJaBo: I don't think so... | 00:26 |
| jagrpe | hola | 00:26 |
| jagrpe | Hello | 00:26 |
| ian__ | @CoJaBo: You can remove it, then add it's contents to your desktop as plain widgets. | 00:27 |
| CoJaBo_ | Thats strange :/ | 00:27 |
| ian__ | @CoJaBo: Then press Ctrl+F12 to access the Dashboard, thus displaying them. | 00:28 |
| === fignew` is now known as fignew | ||
| ian__ | @CoJaBo: KDE 4 doesn't have all of the features of KDE 3 yet. I'm sure that Hiding the panel will be implemented in a future release. | 00:29 |
| CoJaBo_ | Ok, I'm trying to figure out which version to install, are there any other things not yet implemented? | 00:31 |
| ian__ | A Few things, but most if it's fine. If you're really worried about it, go with 3.5.9. Otherwise, go ahead with 4.1.1 | 00:32 |
| ian__ | Or, if you're like me, install both :) | 00:33 |
| CoJaBo_ | I am testing the KDE4 version, it seems pretty buggy... | 00:33 |
| ian__ | Which version are you testing? | 00:33 |
| mrxmike | im trying to update /reinstall/install mysql-server-5.0 but im getting .. | 00:33 |

| WaSTe[bRe] | there is two packages in adept manager for kde4> kde4 package, and kubuntu-kde-desktop < wich one to choose??? | 00:35 |
| mrxmike | ian__: nopes, nothing | 00:35 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 189005 in grub "dpkg fails with debconf locked" [High,Fix released] | 00:35 |
| ian__ | @Wasre[bre]: Go with "kubuntu-kde4-desktop". It's specifically tailored to kubuntu. KDE4 is just generic. | 00:36 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | ian__ thanks | 00:37 |
| CoJaBo_ | I am running the Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 Remix live cd. | 00:37 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | ian__ do u use kde4? | 00:37 |
| ian__ | @Wasre[bre]: Yeah. | 00:37 |
| mrxmike | LOL, that launchpad file says 'FIX released' | 00:37 |
| mrxmike | but where is it then? | 00:38 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | what is your opinion of kde4? | 00:38 |
| mrxmike | its cool, but not done yet | 00:38 |
| ian__ | @CoJaBo: I think that's KDE 4.0. Try 4.1.1 on an installed system. | 00:38 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | should i instll kde4, or stay on 3.5.9? | 00:38 |
| ian__ | @Wasre[bre]: Install KDE 4 alongside your KDE 3. Unless you're hard on disk space. | 00:39 |
| ian__ | @Wasre[bre]: In which case stay with KDE 3 for now. | 00:39 |
| master_ | I wish I was an oscar myer weener... | 00:42 |
| ian__ | whoa... | 00:42 |
| master_ | (sorry.. just typing out loud while I wait for updates to download_ | 00:42 |
| CoJaBo_ | Is it easy to upgrade Kubuntu to KDE 4.1.1? Or is there another distro that is better? | 00:43 |
| CoJaBo_ | lol | 00:43 |
| ian__ | @CoJaBo: Not from the live CD. From the installed system, add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main to /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:44 |
| ian__ | then, type "sudo apt-get -y install kubunti-kde4-desktop" and answer any questions that come up. | 00:45 |
| ian__ | Only, that's kubuntu with a u, not an i | 00:46 |
| ian__ | make sure to add everything from the deb to the main to your sources.list file. | 00:47 |
| EagleSn | if u want ot use KDE4 i recommend you tu use KDE 4.1.1 from kubuntu ppa | 00:47 |
| ian__ | @master: Wait, how do you type out loud? | 00:50 |
| ian__ | By the way, I need a little help with my Wi-Fi Card. | 00:51 |
| ian__ | It doesn't want to work after logiing out then in. | 00:53 |
| ian__ | But, if I go to Network settings I can get it to work if I cylce between Auto, and Manual. | 00:53 |
| CoJaBo_ | If I upgrade to KDE 4.1.1, which version is it best to start from, the Kubuntu with KDE 4.0, or the regular one? | 00:57 |
| Sixzero | depends on your tastes. I just installed 4.1.1 from adept and i'm already starting to like it. | 00:57 |
| Sixzero | It's certainly cool looking, the new one is. | 00:58 |
| CoJaBo_ | I think I'll try 4.1.1, but what version of Kubuntu should I start from, would there be a difference? | 00:59 |
| dr_Willis | use the latest you can.. i would suggest | 01:00 |
| dr_Willis | You may want to install the normal kubuntu, and just install kde 4.1.1 that way theres no extra older kde4 stuff laying about. Just kde 3 stuff. | 01:00 |
| Sixzero | CoJaBo_: are you asking which session you should log into? | 01:01 |
| Sixzero | CoJaBo_: as in 3.5 or 4.1? | 01:02 |
| CoJaBo_ | Sixzero: What version of the Kubuntu CD, the original or KDE4 Remix? | 01:03 |
| mefisto__ | I'm looking for an rss editor, to manually create and edit rss .xml files. any suggestions? anything in ubuntu repos? | 01:04 |
| Sixzero | CoJaBo_: I went with the original and then installed KDE4 through adept, but if you want a completely clean KDE4 install without the old stuff to drag along, then go for the remix disc. But be warned that some of us haven't had a whole lot of luck with the cd, thats why i went ahead and updated through adept. Now I can pick and choose which one I log into. | 01:06 |
| zac_ | hey guys | 01:08 |
| === favafro is now known as favro | ||
| zac_ | where does kubuntu keep the configs for the login screen and kde. I would like to bypass the login and go right into another wm | 01:08 |
| ccoffey | Amarok 1: I've svn up'd it, but make -f Makefile.cvs throws "libamarok_gst10engine_plugin_la_LDFLAGS: variable `LIB_GST10' is used but `LIB_GST10' is undefined" at me. Any ideas? | 01:09 |
| ccoffey | wrong window. sorry | 01:09 |
| marcobxbro1 | How do you change the splash and login screen in kubuntu | 01:09 |
| zac_ | or atleast have X load a different wm than kde? | 01:11 |
| dr_Willis | zac_, thats doable. - the kdm config can autologin to a specifi user. | 01:11 |
| dr_Willis | i think the kdm config front end can set that also. (kde3 at least) | 01:11 |
| geek | zac_: select a different WM from KDM. it will ask you if it want it to be default. say yes. IIRC | 01:12 |
| zac_ | wow | 01:12 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | i installed kde4, how to use it? | 01:12 |
| dr_Willis | the login screen has a sessions menu item.. select kde4 | 01:13 |
| zac_ | and marcobxbro1 asked about the splash files, i think i might be interested in that ansewr | 01:13 |
| dr_Willis | Theres some factoid on splash - but i always disablew splash anyway. :) | 01:14 |
| dr_Willis | !usplash | 01:14 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 01:14 |
| ubuntu_ | Hi all, I am attempting to install Kubuntu 8.04 AMD64 on my new PC, but when I get to the partitioning step, there are no devices listed | 01:15 |
| ubuntu_ | I have a SATA HDD that already has an NTFS partition with Windows XP x64 Ed. installed | 01:15 |
| dr_Willis | 'sudo fdisk -l' from a terminal should show the hard drives. Unless they are on some unsupported sata controller. | 01:16 |
| dr_Willis | if fdisk -l, isent even showing any hard drives.. well.. theres some issues going on. | 01:16 |
| ubuntu_ | I get nothing | 01:16 |
| dr_Willis | with sudo? | 01:17 |
| ubuntu_ | correct | 01:17 |
| dr_Willis | thats weird. | 01:18 |
| ubuntu_ | I have an XFX Motherboard with integrated SATA Controller | 01:18 |
| dr_Willis | bbrb | 01:19 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: is there a bios update for the motherboard? or are there bios settings related to sata? mine can use sata as an ide drive, so it's easy to install any os | 01:21 |
| dr_Willis | you may want to do some googling on that exact mb and linux support. You may also want to test out the next testin g release of ubuntu. | 01:21 |
| dr_Willis | It could be so new its not got support in the current release | 01:21 |
| ubuntu_ | ok, i'll try downloading the latest Alpha | 01:22 |

| Dr_willis_ | WaSTe[bRe], good for what? | 01:23 |

| Sixzero | hola | 01:24 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | my friend says e17 is good, and it look pritty good | 01:25 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | should i use it? | 01:25 |
| alfonso | pense que me havia equivocado otravez y que aqui no hablan español | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | This is 'linux' make up your own mind and use what you want. | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | Install it, try it.. and see. | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | I dont care for E17 - havent cared much for any of the earlier E's either. | 01:26 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | i know | 01:26 |
| WaSTe[bRe] | i just want to ask expirienc linux user of their opinion | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis_ | I dont see much point in the E# stuff. its alwyas been sort of a 'out there' project that gets attention for a while. then dies down.. then pops back up... | 01:28 |
| Sixzero | The most popular distro for home users is more often than not Ubuntu. It comes with Gnome. You can get Kubuntu instead if you prefer KDE, or even Xubuntu if you want a lightweight desktop manager like Xfce | 01:28 |
| home_ | I was wondering how to make the clock in a 12 hour rotation? | 01:30 |
| home_ | rather than 24 | 01:31 |
| tekstacy | !apt-fix | 01:32 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 01:32 |
| zac_ | ok, I understand kdm, but i dont see where to explicitly set a different wm than KDE. Adding an .xinitrc into $HOME doesn't help | 01:36 |

| Dragnslcr | Daniel-Minifig- what are you trying to install? | 01:47 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I wanted to see what the game Funguloids is. I am also selecting a few other games and I keep getting the same error. I have to go through and select one at a time and it is totally annoying. | 01:48 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Takes forever to install stuff. | 01:48 |
| Daniel-Minifig | There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 01:49 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Does that in Kubuntu and Linux Mint KDE CE. | 01:50 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Frozen Bubbles also gives that error in Kubuntu. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | I normally use Synaptic - it seems quicker then some of the other package manager front ends Like adept | 01:50 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Can you go through a list of all the games and install them? | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | You can also use the apt:// thing in konqueror to browse/search | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | synaptic has a front end like adept Daniel-Minifig correct... | 01:51 |
| Dragnslcr | That's definitely weird. I don't see anything in the dependencies that screams out "will break other packages" | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | that add/remove programs thing - is a minimal front end. | 01:52 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I will swap over and see if I can install Synaptic. | 01:52 |
| Daniel-Minifig | It is VERY slow and annoying. | 01:52 |

| sancho21_ | I'm not running big application actually | 02:03 |

| Daniel-Minifig | funguloids: | 02:05 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Depends: ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager but it is not installable | 02:05 |
| sancho21_ | Is it true that memory usage it high although the big application has already been shut down? I mean, it is not automatically cleaned up? | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | could be the app is still in cache, and will be freed up when more mem. is needed | 02:06 |

| Dr_willis_ | pick one... | 02:14 |

| Daniel-Minifig | I found ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager | 02:16 |
| Daniel-Minifig | How do I install a deb file? | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | best to use the package manager to 'search and install' programs. | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | you erally should avoide downloading single .debs and installing them.. BUT... if you must... you should be able to double click on it and install it.. | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | or 'sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb' | 02:17 |
| edju | Dr_willis_, file says that it's XML. | 02:18 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Well, I want to check out funguloids and I download the file it said it cannot install. | 02:18 |

| gabriel | how? | 03:21 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I am having Linux install too many games. lol | 03:21 |

| lufthanza | i need a bit of help configuring cups if anyone feels up to it | 03:22 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I installed Linux to see what all the fuss is about. Why not go mental and get the full service? lol | 03:22 |
| lufthanza | anyone? | 03:23 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I don't know what cups is. | 03:23 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I am new to this Linux stuff. | 03:23 |
| lufthanza | cups= common unix print system | 03:23 |

| Daniel-Minifig | Thank you. I don't have any printers. | 03:23 |

| masetti | Hi Daniel, do you know how to start the cube in compiz fusion? | 03:25 |
| masetti | I say, in 3d | 03:26 |
| Daniel-Minifig | You need to go into settings and tell it to enable the cube. | 03:26 |
| masetti | i did it | 03:26 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I have it on my other PC. Not sure this one can do the cube. | 03:27 |
| masetti | no special keys? | 03:27 |
| Daniel-Minifig | ctrl+alt+right arrow or left arrow | 03:27 |
| Daniel-Minifig | hold ctrl+alt and press Left or right arrow key. | 03:27 |
| Daniel-Minifig | That will move the cube | 03:27 |
| masetti | tried out, nothing! | 03:27 |
| lufthanza | nevermind, fixed my cups problem myself | 03:27 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Need to check settings. I am not good at the special effects. | 03:28 |
| masetti | ok! | 03:28 |
| masetti | diego, vc sabe? | 03:28 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I will try it on this PC when I am done installing the games. | 03:28 |
| masetti | g'luck! | 03:29 |
| diego | hi,no | 03:29 |
| Daniel-Minifig | I am running nvidia riva tnt 16MB here. | 03:29 |
| Daniel-Minifig | Notsure it will work. | 03:29 |
| Daniel-Minifig | My other PC is nvidia geforce fx. | 03:29 |
| lufthanza | have you tried glxgears? | 03:29 |
| masetti | glxgears? for effects? | 03:30 |
| lufthanza | if glxgears works, most 3d games will too | 03:30 |
| diego | hi everyone, i have this problem, maybe someone know the solution, am using kde 4.1.1 with kubuntu, and i have this problem, i put my widgets in place and every time i reboot i lose that configuration and i have to reorden them everytime i reboot | 03:30 |
| lufthanza | diego: try locking the widgets | 03:31 |
| lufthanza | diego: right click your desktop | 03:31 |
| bobito | hey people, could anyone give a quick explanation or point to (or even search keywords that might work) to explain how to use multiple | commands in the terminal? For ex, If I wanted to take the grep of an ls and send it to another program and/or those results to another? a simple example might be amarok ls | grep .mp3, but I can't get the syntax quite right | 03:31 |
| diego | lufthanza: i did it but nothing, ^^ | 03:32 |
| lufthanza | bobito: apt-search linux-image | grep 2.6 | 03:32 |
| Dragnslcr | bobito- I think xargs might be what you need there | 03:33 |
| === minifig is now known as Minifig | ||
| Daniel-Minifig | massetti, what linux distro do you have installed? | 03:35 |
| bobito | Dragnslcr: I thought that that was only to do multiple instances quickly. Since that was probably the wrong jargon, more of if I wanted to do, say, amarok ls | grep .mp3 && amarok ls | grep .flv && amarok .... | 03:36 |
| Minifig | Do you have a menu item "Compiz Setup"? | 03:36 |
| bobito | diego: apt-search? I am pretty sure I have the newest grep, is there a way to just use grep to do this? | 03:36 |
| Minifig | Welcome back powertool08 | 03:37 |
| bobito | diego: and by this i mean my original example, not checking the make of my current grep | 03:37 |
| Dragnslcr | bobito- I'm not sure how amarok works from the command line. Did you try amarok *.mp3? | 03:37 |
| diego | bobito: oh | 03:38 |
| Dragnslcr | bobito- it seems like you're trying to do something from the command line that would be a lot easier to do from within Amarok | 03:38 |
| lufthanza | bobito: to run a program and then run another without the terminal waiting for it to quit, you use '&", aka "amarok ls | grep.mp3 & && ... | 03:38 |
| bobito | Dragnslcr: That is awesome, and will definately be useful for the example I gave. Still doesn't answer the real question though. what about finding files and putting them in a text file, or searching a file for a list of urls and sending them to firefox, etc | 03:38 |
| CoJaBo_ | What do I need to do to connect to a wireless network? I am trying KNetworkManager, but it is not working. | 03:39 |
| lufthanza | bobito: i don't think you can pipe things to firefox from the command line | 03:39 |
| bobito | Dragnslcr: though if its normal for kate, gedit, firefox, or whatever to have a built in function along those lines, itd be pretty sweet | 03:39 |
| Dragnslcr | I don't either | 03:39 |
| lufthanza | bobito: maybe with dbus, but that's really hard | 03:39 |
| Dragnslcr | If you want to write grep results to a file, I think it's just something like ls | grep foo > foo.txt | 03:40 |
| lufthanza | yea, that would work ^ | 03:40 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: you may need to install a wireless driver | 03:41 |
| Crell | Hi all. I am having trouble reassociating a bluetooth mouse with my Kubuntu Hardy laptop. It was previously associated, but then was used with another laptop so disassociatd. | 03:42 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: type "lspci" into a terminal and copy the results into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give me the resulting url. | 03:42 |
| Crell | Now, I can't get the laptop to even scan for BT devices or be discoverable. | 03:42 |
| Crell | When I go into KBluetooth, it "thinks" for several minutes and lists no options at all. | 03:42 |
| Crell | Any suggestions? | 03:42 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: I installed a custom kernel that includes the driver, and it sees the card and gives a signal measurement, but cannot connect. | 03:43 |
| bobito | lufthanza: 'firefox www.google.com' works, and say I have a file with www.google.com hidden in it. grep can find the www.google.com, theres no way to pipe that elsewhere? | 03:43 |
| lufthanza | Crell: i'm not experienced with bluetooth sadly | 03:43 |
| bobito | lufthanza: that implies that you can only pipe to programs written to accept a piping argument. am i understanding that correcftly? | 03:43 |
| lufthanza | bobito: maybe | 03:43 |
| lufthanza | bobito: just a sec | 03:43 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: It stalls at 57% IP configuration started before it fails, which makes me suspect it is hanging on DHCP, but this is a static IP network. | 03:44 |
| bobito | Dragnslcr: I was thinking more from a file, to a program. so finding a url for ex in a text file, then piping that to firefox, or even cooler, finding the name of a file in a file, sending that to grep to search the newly find file, and then sending that to firefox. I just assumed you could shove a bunh of |s in there and be okay | 03:45 |
| bobito | lufthanza: thanks | 03:45 |
| lufthanza | bobito: yeah, firefox won't accept it | 03:45 |
| bobito | lufthanza: So its a program based thing? | 03:46 |
| CoJaBo_ | Is that the problem, and if so how do I give it the correct config? | 03:46 |
| lufthanza | bobito: tested with 'grep -o www.google.com new.txt | firefox' | 03:46 |
| lufthanza | bobito: seemingly | 03:46 |
| lufthanza | bobito: it seems the program needs to be able to accept stdin input on execution | 03:47 |
| lufthanza | bobito: such as using "dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -fc > new.img.gz" to create a compressed image of your hard drive | 03:48 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: do you have any network encryption? | 03:49 |
| CoJaBo_ | Yes, WPA | 03:50 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: triple check the keys you are using, make sure you haven't blocked yourself with your routers mac address filtering, etc | 03:51 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: Key is correct, MAC filtering is disabled. | 03:52 |
| nicholasstorman | hello | 03:52 |
| nicholasstorman | Does anyone here know how to restore wine menu | 03:53 |
| bobito | lufthanza: okay, that sucks, but makes sense. oh well. so how would i input the results of say 'grep examples' to maybe gedit or kate instead of screen output? | 03:54 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: have you been able to connect with the current configuration before? or is this your first time setting up NetworkManager | 03:55 |
| bobito | lufthanza: or rather 'ls | grep example' --> text file or otherwise | 03:55 |
| lufthanza | on this computer | 03:55 |
| lufthanza | ls | grep example > new_text.file | 03:55 |
| jyoseph | hello, quick question.... it's okay if I burn kubuntu iso to a DVD instead of a CD correct? | 03:56 |
| lufthanza | bobito: or use >> to append the output to an existing text file | 03:56 |
| bobito | lufthanza: Does > or >> have a name I can check out? | 03:56 |
| bobito | lufthanza: or is it just greater than? | 03:56 |
| lufthanza | jyoseph: as long as you burn it as a cd image, it should be fine | 03:56 |
| === Root is now known as Guest41989 | ||
| bobito | haha | 03:56 |
| jyoseph | ok great, thanks lufthanza... so in K3b I should say "Burn CD Image" but really burn it to a DVD? | 03:57 |
| lufthanza | jyoseph: yes, that will work | 03:57 |
| jyoseph | awesome, thanks! | 03:57 |
| lufthanza | jyoseph: i've done it a couple of times | 03:57 |
| jyoseph | good to hear | 03:57 |
| jyoseph | i'm a noob, should I stick w/ kde 3 or 4? | 03:58 |

| nicholasstorman | I need to figure out how to fix wine No matter what I do | 03:58 |
| lufthanza | bobito: '>' just means to write the stdout of the commands to a file | 03:58 |
| jyoseph | thx guys/gals... going to go install now... | 03:59 |
| nicholasstorman | it doesn't work | 03:59 |

| === Root is now known as Guest21204 | ||
| lufthanza | make sure you have the correct method of wpa authentication selected in nm | 04:01 |
| lufthanza | also, try with WEP and without encryption to make sure it's just a configuration issue with NM | 04:02 |
| shane_ | hey i have a dell printer and everything im reading says it wont work in linux,but then they turn around and say that its because the drivers are win only | 04:02 |
| lufthanza | note that you should set the router to wep, etc. while testing that | 04:02 |
| lufthanza | shane_: dell printer? | 04:03 |
| lufthanza | what make and model? | 04:03 |
| shane_ | its the dell 944 all in one printer | 04:03 |
| lufthanza | er, just the model | 04:03 |
| shane_ | should i not be able to wrap the windriver | 04:04 |
| lufthanza | shane_: if you write a utility to do it | 04:05 |
| shane_ | it is saying it is a host based printer so its cheaper to build because it doesnt require a fast internall cpu | 04:05 |
| lufthanza | shane_: unfortunately, it seems there are no working solutions for that printer atm | 04:05 |
| shane_ | well could i not just ndiswrapp it and the modprobe | 04:05 |
| CoJaBo_ | Anyone got any ideas? | 04:06 |
| shane_ | or basicly tie it to a rope and use it for a boat ancor | 04:06 |
| lufthanza | shane_: i don't know, but i doubt it. ndiswrapper mainly works on pci hardware | 04:06 |
| shane_ | ahh ic.well i have a hp here ill just get it up and workin | 04:07 |
| lufthanza | i would suggest pawning it off on a friend and researching a working printer for linux. Hp ones tend to work real well | 04:07 |
| lufthanza | nvm | 04:07 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: i don't know what to tell you other than to try configuring it the old-fashioned way | 04:08 |
| CoJaBo_ | Any info/guide on how to do that with a static IP WPA network? | 04:08 |
| shane_ | yah i will have to, i just hate wasting stuff . ok TY for the quick help | 04:09 |
| lufthanza | gentoo ones will probably work | 04:09 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: http://www.newlinuxuser.com/howto-use-iwconfig/ | 04:10 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: How do I get that to work with WPA and static IP? Could the need for a static IP be the cause of KNetworkManager not working, I don't see anywhere to enter it? | 04:13 |
| EagleSn | join /debian-es | 04:16 |
| CoJaBo_ | ? | 04:16 |
| smacfarl | hello. Stupid question. Id I get the latest kubuntu install will it setup kde4.1 from the door? | 04:17 |
| CoJaBo_ | Looks like the KDE 4 is KDE 4.0.3. | 04:17 |
| smacfarl | ? | 04:17 |
| CoJaBo_ | There should be an update, but I can't get a network connection to do so :( | 04:18 |
| smacfarl | cojabo_ are you talking to me? | 04:18 |
| Ashex | can anyone recommend a vnc viewer other then krdc? | 04:23 |
| Ashex | It's not working too well for me | 04:23 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: to set up a static ip, you would need to do extra stuff | 04:25 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: Like what? | 04:25 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: try this | 04:27 |
| lufthanza | go to manual configuration in the knetworkmanager menu | 04:27 |
| lufthanza | go to your wireless connection, eth1 or ath0 or whatever. | 04:28 |
| lufthanza | configure it to be static, give it the ip address, plus the essid etc it needs to connect to | 04:28 |
| lufthanza | hopefully that works for you | 04:30 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: It just says "no active device" | 04:30 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: ??? | 04:31 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: did you right click knetworkmanager? | 04:32 |
| CoJaBo_ | Am I in the right one? Manual configuration after right-clicking on the icon? | 04:32 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: yes | 04:32 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: that would suggest your wireless card is not actually functioning | 04:33 |
| goldmetal | i just created filter rule in evolution, where's the place to check all the filters created? | 04:33 |
| CoJaBo_ | Clicking Manual configuration prompts for a password, then does nothing. | 04:34 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: type your root password in | 04:36 |
| CoJaBo_ | I used the pass I entered during the install, was that correct? | 04:36 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: probably, is it the same password you use to install packages? | 04:37 |

| CoJaBo_ | mefisto__: It shows up, I just can't configure it. | 05:07 |

| mefisto__ | CoJaBo_: what is the interface called? eth0? | 05:08 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: i would downgrade to kde3 to avoid that bug | 05:08 |
| CoJaBo_ | Is there any way to fix it? | 05:09 |
| mefisto__ | fix the bug? | 05:10 |
| CoJaBo_ | I would hope fixing that bug would allow me to connect? | 05:10 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: the kubuntu devs may fix it someday | 05:12 |
| mefisto__ | it's just a configuration program, you don't need it to connect. you can do it manually. the thing is you may have problems with your nework interface may not work well with linux, which is a separate issue | 05:12 |
| CoJaBo_ | Within the <23 hours I have to get this working before imaging it back to WinXP? | 05:13 |
| mefisto__ | CoJaBo_: is this a wired connection? | 05:13 |
| CoJaBo_ | Wireless | 05:13 |
| CoJaBo_ | WPA, Static IP | 05:13 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: you could try wifi-radar to manage your wireless instead | 05:13 |
| CoJaBo_ | I am limited to software I can use/install easily without a working net connection. | 05:14 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: won't be as friendly as nm, but it's friendlier than configuring through ifconfig and iwconfig | 05:14 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: there's no way you can temporarily plug this computer into a lan and do 'sudo apt-get install wifi-radar'? | 05:15 |
| CoJaBo_ | If I unplug something else maybe. But I still have the problem of assigning the static IP. | 05:17 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: wifi-radar will handle all of that instead of knetworkmanager | 05:17 |
| CoJaBo_ | But how do I install it? | 05:18 |
| lufthanza | in the command line type 'sudo apt-get install wifi-radar'. you can also get it from adept manager | 05:18 |
| Minifig | Is there a command line code for doing updates/upgrades? | 05:19 |
| lufthanza | Minifig: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 05:19 |
| Minifig | Thank you. | 05:19 |
| CoJaBo_ | Keeping in mind this computer does not have a net connection because I need software requiring a net connection to install to get said net connection... | 05:19 |
| lufthanza | static ip can be handled by /etc/network/interfaces | 05:20 |
| lufthanza | whats the address and the netmask the computer will be using? i'll post an example /etc/network/interfaces | 05:21 |
| CoJaBo_ | lufthanza: IP would be 192.168.2.42, not sure of mask, Vista won't let me see it. | 05:24 |
| lufthanza | CoJaBo_: this is a file that would probably work for your ethernet connection | 05:25 |
| lufthanza | http://paste.ubuntu.com/44780/ | 05:25 |
| lufthanza | type that into nano with this command "sudo /etc/network/interfaces", erase anything else that has eth0 in it, and use ctrl-O to save and ctrl-x to quit. | 05:26 |

| frybye | minifig_: not useable at all or??? | 06:46 |
| minifig_ | Also about 64 more items needs to be upgraded. | 06:46 |
| minifig_ | Everything is working, except I get alot of errors. | 06:47 |
| minifig_ | I don't think everything was upgraded and there are stuff that needs fixing. | 06:47 |
| frybye | minifig_: so basically you are saying a clean new install would probably be the way to go or...? | 06:47 |
| minifig_ | Maybe. Unless there is a way to fix the problems. | 06:47 |
| frybye | and or perhaps wait for the final in October...? | 06:47 |
| minifig_ | 2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 64 not upgraded. 4 not fully installed or removed. | 06:48 |
| frybye | minifig_: that is "packages" or?? | 06:49 |
| minifig_ | sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:49 |
| minifig_ | I get alot of stuff listed that wasn't upgraded. | 06:49 |
| frybye | and you did this first: | 06:49 |
| frybye | sudo sed -i /s/hardy/intrepid/g /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:49 |
| frybye | sudo apt-get update | 06:49 |
| minifig_ | No. | 06:50 |
| minifig_ | My first upgrade was in Synaptic. | 06:50 |
| frybye | and then...: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:50 |
| minifig_ | I am new to Linux. | 06:50 |
| frybye | I am also pretty new - but suspect that the above was missing and that was your problem mainly... dont treat this as gospel though... | 06:51 |
| minifig_ | I installed with a CD of Kubuntu Linux 8.04.1 | 06:51 |
| minifig_ | I think what it was trying to do was upgrade KDE. | 06:51 |
| frybye | right - but the distroupdate source has to go in there.. or.. | 06:51 |
| minifig_ | sed: -e expression #1, char 5: extra characters after command | 06:52 |
| frybye | I have god kde4.1 running on hardy8.04 but that is a completly different theme to what I was asking about originally - which was moving from hardy to intrepid | 06:52 |
| minifig_ | Isa intrepid Kubuntu 9? | 06:53 |
| minifig_ | Is | 06:53 |
| frybye | intreped is (K-)ubuntu 8.10 ... | 06:53 |
| frybye | 9.04 is the one after that again and not available at all now.. dont exist.. as such... | 06:54 |
| minifig_ | /var/cache/apt/archives/sysvinit-utils_2.86.ds1-61_i386.deb | 06:55 |
| minifig_ | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 06:55 |
| minifig_ | I get that E: error alot. | 06:55 |
| frybye | minifig_: like i said pal - I am a linux newbie myself.. | 06:55 |
| frybye | I have little clue when things start to go wrong.... | 06:56 |
| minifig_ | No problem. | 06:56 |
| frybye | and am basically probably going to leave this theme rest for now... | 06:56 |
| minifig_ | I appreciate you trying. | 06:56 |
| frybye | ie not do the intrepid update myself... | 06:56 |
| minifig_ | I might just redo Linux altogether. | 06:57 |
| frybye | but to go from hardy with kde3 to hardy with kde3 + kde4.1 is no big deal you will find sutff at kde.org or google on doing that..l. | 06:57 |
| minifig_ | Do an immediate upgrade, or none at all. | 06:57 |
| minifig_ | I might also have installed too many stuff. | 06:57 |
| minifig_ | I loaded Synaptic and installed loads of their games. | 06:58 |
| frybye | but dont mix up the themes.. a distro upgrade is completly different to adding a new version of kde which is just the grafic interface basically... | 06:58 |
| minifig_ | Loads of the educational stuff also. | 06:58 |
| frybye | kde in kubuntu or gnome in ubunto just sorta sits on top of hardy or ibex etc.... | 06:58 |
| frybye | most kde3 apps will run inside of kde4.1 even if not especially made for it... | 06:59 |
| frybye | but do you know have the option to switch between kde3 "session type" or the kde4 - session type"" on booting/login??? | 07:00 |
| minifig_ | Have you read the site on Wikipedia comparing Linux and Windows? I think they did an awesome job at it. One menioned was backwards compatibility. | 07:00 |
| minifig_ | No. | 07:00 |
| frybye | then I am not sure what to advise.. | 07:01 |
| minifig_ | That is okay. | 07:01 |
| frybye | if you go to an application and open help | about kde | what version does it show...? | 07:01 |
| minifig_ | 3.5.9 | 07:01 |
| frybye | ok - eh this is not so simple either - cos if you are using a version 3 appl it shows that even if in kde4.1 ... | 07:02 |
| minifig_ | I am running Konversation | 07:02 |
| frybye | dont be mad with me - but basically i am just quitting for now - I need to get some other stuff done.. yeah in Konversation it is the same here though I am running it in kde4.1 - if you hvae the kde4.1 running and look in dolphin etc.. it should show the kde4 infos - but i am off for now pal - all the best... | 07:03 |

| dazza | hi, i'm having trouble installing the proprietary ATI drivers for my new 4870 - I can't get restricted-manager to display any options while following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 11:26 |
| dazza | I can run alt+f2 -> jockey-kde but it shows me a blank list | 11:27 |
| jussi01 | dazza: thats an extremely new card, no? | 11:27 |
| dazza | jussi01: yes, I think it is the latest | 11:27 |
| jussi01 | !envy | dazza | 11:27 |
| ubottu | dazza: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 11:27 |
| dazza | ok, thankyou | 11:28 |
| jussi01 | dazza: likely the drivers are not in ubuntu yet, try envy. | 11:28 |
| jussi01 | Just remember, while we will try to help if things go wrong, it is an "unsupported" method. | 11:28 |
| dazza | i'll risk it :D thanks | 11:29 |
| jussi01 | dazza: no probs. let me know how things go. :) | 11:31 |
| dazza | hmm, looks like the linux driver for this card is in beta | 11:31 |
| jussi01 | Quite possibly - its a very new card | 11:32 |

| writher | You probably need to execute with sudo | 12:34 |

| geek | possibly set opendns or a local dns server as the dns server and try, but its not likely a ubuntu issue | 13:08 |
| nowhere | definitely: there's also a way of doing it via the command line if you prefer that way | 13:08 |
| definitely | nowhere: Probably there is no User Managament, coz i installed KDE 4.1.1 there wasnt KDE 3, i was changeing from Xubuntu to Kubuntu so i directly installed Latest KDE withou KDE 3 | 13:08 |

| Woosta | Not sure if this is the place to talk or not .. I did a dist-upgrade to gutsy last week .. and ever since, performance has been really really bad. But it's nothing that's using memory or CPU. So I figured it was the GPU. I use the proprietory ATI driver, and so updated it. It just got worse. | 14:25 |
| Woosta | So now I've switch to the 'vesa' driver and it's all just fine | 14:26 |
| Woosta | So it looks like it's something to do with the GPU and the fglrx driver with gutsy | 14:27 |
| Woosta | Is this a known problem? I can't find any google goodness .. | 14:27 |
| darkwizzard_ | How come when I click on a link in kopete or any other application I get a KIOExec error dialog ? | 14:29 |
| darkwizzard_ | Woosta: did you try using envyng | 14:30 |
| darkwizzard_ | ? | 14:30 |
| Woosta | I was not previously aware of it | 14:31 |
| Woosta | How is it any better than just installing the latest version from ATI's website? | 14:31 |
| darkwizzard_ | I'm not sure, I haven't used it, but many people praise it | 14:31 |
| darkwizzard_ | maybe it sets up things better. | 14:31 |
| darkwizzard_ | I had many problems with ATI | 14:31 |
| Alex135 | whats a good C++ development enviroment for Kubuntu | 14:35 |
| darkwizzard_ | Kdevelop | 14:36 |
| darkwizzard_ | or Netbeans | 14:36 |
| darkwizzard_ | Or Eclipse | 14:36 |
| Alex135 | i tried Eclipse... or am trying | 14:36 |
| Alex135 | cant get it to work right | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | what do you want to code ? | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | I mean, what toolkit | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | cause if you use Qt, then QDevelop is cool too | 14:37 |
| Alex135 | general perpous codeing | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | try netbeans then | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | it has a C++ plugin | 14:37 |
| Alex135 | k | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | it's available on their site | 14:37 |
| Alex135 | so does eclpise, cant get it to work right though | 14:37 |
| darkwizzard_ | I didn't have much luck with it either. | 14:38 |
| darkwizzard_ | But I prefer netbeans to eclipse | 14:38 |
| darkwizzard_ | :) | 14:38 |
| darkwizzard_ | But I currently use Kdevelop and I like it | 14:38 |
| Alex135 | is there a current version in the ubuntu repos? | 14:39 |
| darkwizzard_ | not really | 14:39 |
| darkwizzard_ | The current one is 6.1 | 14:39 |
| darkwizzard_ | and I only see 5.5 in the repos | 14:39 |
| Alex135 | hmm | 14:40 |
| Alex135 | crud | 14:40 |
| Alex135 | work needs to be done on the repos | 14:40 |
| Alex135 | x.x | 14:40 |
| Alex135 | anyone know of any good unoficial repos for ubuntu that are kept up to date? | 14:40 |
| ForgeAus | yeah Kdevelop is nice :) | 14:41 |
| darkwizzard_ | you could just download netbeans from their site | 14:41 |
| Alex135 | i mean repos for adept | 14:41 |
| Alex135 | true | 14:41 |
| darkwizzard_ | there are a lot of options | 14:41 |
| darkwizzard_ | http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/ | 14:41 |
| Alex135 | ya, i am on they're site | 14:41 |
| ForgeAus | I can't wait till KDE apps get all integrated with kparts (if they're going to be) so you can open your documents in your IDE, browse in your chats, etc etc... | 14:42 |
| Alex135 | indeed | 14:42 |
| darkwizzard_ | Also did anyone try the kde4 version of Kdevelop ? | 14:43 |
| darkwizzard_ | I don't see that either in the repos | 14:43 |
| Alex135 | kde4 is crowding up the repos | 14:45 |
| ForgeAus | same here... | 14:45 |
| ForgeAus | I havn't tried it | 14:45 |
| Alex135 | they need to seperate the kde4 stuff from teh kde 3 | 14:45 |
| darkwizzard_ | Err, I think it is separated | 14:45 |
| darkwizzard_ | IIRC it's a different depository | 14:45 |
| ForgeAus | they will in Ubuntu with Intrepid I tihnk | 14:45 |
| ForgeAus | they're going to make .kde kde4 with no kde3 :( | 14:45 |
| darkwizzard_ | you mean kde4 will be the default on intrepid ? | 14:46 |
| ForgeAus | you can use an extra repo to get closer to cutting edge KDE yes... | 14:46 |
| ForgeAus | ie 4.1.1 or something insead of the 4.0.3 in the repos) | 14:46 |
| Alex135 | i hate kde4 | 14:46 |
| ForgeAus | yes intrepid will be kde4 | 14:46 |
| Alex135 | i rather have kde3 | 14:46 |
| Alex135 | i know how to use kde3 | 14:46 |
| ForgeAus | me too Alex | 14:46 |
| darkwizzard_ | same here | 14:46 |
| darkwizzard_ | still use kde3 | 14:47 |
| darkwizzard_ | but they say 4.2 will be usable | 14:47 |
| Alex135 | besides kde3 is much more realistic for the advanced linux user | 14:47 |
| ForgeAus | I want them to add legacy kde3 in it.. but nobdoy seems to be listening to me | 14:47 |
| ForgeAus | I base my OS on kde3, I like plyaing with kde4 but I don't make it default | 14:47 |
| darkwizzard_ | I bet they will support kde3 too | 14:47 |
| ghostcube | kde4 isnt ready | 14:47 |
| ghostcube | thats just the fact and 4.2 wont be too | 14:47 |
| ForgeAus | well when intrepid comes around kde4 will be better than it is now, but will it be *THERE* yet? | 14:47 |
| Alex135 | while kde4 has a lot of fancy crud (even when it is done) they should have an option to switch kde4 to make it look like kde3 (menus act the same way) | 14:48 |
| ghostcube | i run compiz i dont need kde4 eye candy | 14:48 |
| ForgeAus | you can use the kmenu from kde3 in kde4 | 14:48 |
| ForgeAus | but thats not it... | 14:48 |
| darkwizzard_ | I don't know | 14:48 |
| Alex135 | you know what i mean though | 14:48 |
| darkwizzard_ | KDE 4 on OpenSuse is kind of ahead | 14:48 |
| ghostcube | u will see if the users are complaining about this new kde 4 default thing | 14:49 |
| ForgeAus | actually I prefer KDE4 to compiz except the desktop cube is missing :( | 14:49 |
| ForgeAus | the panel/kicker isn't as customizable yet... | 14:49 |
| ghostcube | and i would say they will do | 14:49 |
| Alex135 | i didn't like openSuSe because of its menu's more or less | 14:49 |
| ForgeAus | give it time... see what happens... | 14:49 |
| Alex135 | now that kde 4 is going to that im really upset | 14:49 |
| darkwizzard_ | I don't like OpenSUSE because of it's package management :) | 14:49 |
| ghostcube | opensuse is not good last suse was good was 6.2 | 14:49 |
| ForgeAus | I just hope they do decide to put in a .kde3 (so .kde4 can be default if they want it that way...) | 14:49 |
| Alex135 | they will for a bit | 14:50 |
| ghostcube | if they kick kde3 they will lose users | 14:50 |
| darkwizzard_ | I bet there will be some repo with kde3 packages | 14:50 |
| Alex135 | but in october 2009 they end all kde3 | 14:50 |
| Alex135 | in ubuntu anyway | 14:50 |
| Alex135 | :( | 14:50 |
| darkwizzard_ | hell yeah, I'd rather use gnome than kde4 | 14:50 |
| ghostcube | well see | 14:50 |
| Alex135 | it says so on they're site | 14:50 |
| ghostcube | yep i will switch to gnome too if this happens | 14:50 |
| darkwizzard_ | October 2009, by that time KDE4 should be awesome | 14:50 |
| ghostcube | :D | 14:50 |
| darkwizzard_ | :) | 14:50 |
| ForgeAus | darkwizzard I wonder if kde3 will continue to be developed after this latest .10 release? | 14:51 |
| darkwizzard_ | no, they don't work on it anymore | 14:51 |
| Alex135 | probably not | 14:51 |
| darkwizzard_ | only bugfixes | 14:51 |
| ForgeAus | I think its sad that they want kde4 to be the only choice :(... | 14:51 |
| ghostcube | as far as there is no replacement for an working kcontrol i dont want kde4 | 14:51 |
| Alex135 | just like they arn't working on gnome anymore but the new gnome 2 | 14:51 |
| darkwizzard_ | it will be ok.But KDE4 needs a lot of work :) | 14:51 |
| Alex135 | it looks sorta nice right now... but i hate it | 14:51 |
| ForgeAus | you don't need it in kubuntu ghostcube, kubuntu has a system-settings which does kcontrol for you basically | 14:51 |
| ghostcube | ^^ | 14:52 |
| ForgeAus | but yeah I think its important that they get/have a kcontrol even still | 14:52 |
| ghostcube | i use kcontrol since years | 14:52 |
| darkwizzard_ | well they focused too much on the API details instead of porting apps | 14:52 |
| ghostcube | and i wont use systemsettings ever | 14:52 |
| darkwizzard_ | me too | 14:52 |
| ghostcube | this windooz crap | 14:52 |
| darkwizzard_ | I like kcontrol better | 14:52 |
| darkwizzard_ | it's more powerfull | 14:52 |
| ForgeAus | hehe I have a settings icon on my desktop for kcontrol :) | 14:52 |
| ghostcube | i have kicked systemsettings of kmenu | 14:53 |
| ghostcube | and use kcontrol | 14:53 |
| ForgeAus | wait not desktop panel | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | just edit .conf files ;0 | 14:53 |
| darkwizzard_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4#KDE_4.2 | 14:53 |
| darkwizzard_ | That explains why I haven't seen kdevelop kde4 in the repost | 14:53 |
| darkwizzard_ | *-t | 14:53 |
| ghostcube | ActionParsnip: heh | 14:53 |
| darkwizzard_ | it's not ported yet :d | 14:53 |
| ForgeAus | I should put a kdesu konqueror and kdesu terminal on there too, right now I only got basic user ones... | 14:54 |
| ForgeAus | by terminal I mean konsole of course | 14:54 |
| ghostcube | i run gnome terminal cause it has real opacity | 14:54 |
| ghostcube | :D | 14:54 |
| Alex135 | ill manually redevelop the setup of kde4 to make it look like kde3 myself if i must, but i hate the way it looks like openSuSE and windows vista | 14:54 |
| ForgeAus | rofl | 14:54 |
| ForgeAus | is there still a gnome-multi-terminal? | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostcube: yakuake for me | 14:54 |
| ForgeAus | whats the diff between that and powershell anyhow? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ForgeAus: terminal suppots tabs | 14:55 |
| ghostcube | yakuake ? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !yakuake | ghostcube | 14:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about yakuake | 14:55 |
| ForgeAus | its a quake-inspired terminal for kde | 14:55 |
| KiDFlaSh | someone know a good, xorg.conf tutorial? | 14:55 |
| ghostcube | ah | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ok basically it like this | 14:55 |
| ghostcube | the terminal | 14:55 |
| ghostcube | lol yes i know | 14:55 |
| Alex135 | wops, my bad | 14:55 |
| Alex135 | KiDFlaSh: what do you need? | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostcube: it uses konsole but moves up and down with a hotkey | 14:55 |
| Alex135 | KiDFlaSh: as in what are you trying to do in the xorg.conf | 14:55 |
| darkwizzard_ | KiDFlaSh: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is good for basic things | 14:55 |
| ForgeAus | I've never played quake so I guess its like yakuake :) | 14:56 |
| ghostcube | ActionParsnip: yes tried it :) | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ghostcube: in gnome the equiv is tilda | 14:56 |
| ghostcube | forget about the name lol | 14:56 |
| Alex135 | darkwizzard_: that doesn't work as well in ubuntu 8.04 | 14:56 |
| KiDFlaSh | but i i reconfigure THERE IS NOTHING | 14:56 |
| ghostcube | ActionParsnip: i run the embedded terminal on compiz cube | 14:56 |
| KiDFlaSh | no driver nothing | 14:56 |
| Alex135 | darkwizzard_: it just scews everything up | 14:56 |
| ghostcube | so gnome-terminal was needed | 14:56 |
| darkwizzard_ | KiDFlaSh: backups ? | 14:56 |
| ForgeAus | cept with an upgraded doom game behind it | 14:56 |
| darkwizzard_ | check /etc/X11/ | 14:56 |
| KiDFlaSh | i show you my xorg.conf | 14:56 |
| darkwizzard_ | for older versions of xorg.conf | 14:56 |
| Alex135 | use pastebin | 14:56 |
| ghostcube | nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-visuals --d24 | 14:57 |
| ghostcube | isnt this going | 14:57 |
| KiDFlaSh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/43099/ | 14:57 |
| Alex135 | your right, it isn't setup properly | 14:57 |
| KiDFlaSh | there is nothing in | 14:57 |
| darkwizzard_ | it's kind of short :) | 14:57 |
| Alex135 | 1 sec, ill send mine | 14:57 |
| KiDFlaSh | YES | 14:57 |
| darkwizzard_ | should I paste mine ? | 14:57 |

| Alex135 | never did ati | 14:59 |
| KiDFlaSh | ? | 14:59 |
| Alex135 | i was gonna post my nvidia xorg.conf | 14:59 |
| Alex135 | :p | 14:59 |
| darkwizzard_ | I'm using the open source radeon driver | 14:59 |
| darkwizzard_ | so you need to modify the driver section if you use fglrx | 14:59 |

| KiDFlaSh | dont know which ubuntu uses | 15:00 |
| Alex135 | ActionParsnip: what is that? | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Tm_T: works fine, except having to roll back the driver to nv after a kernel reboot and rerunning | 15:00 |
| Alex135 | KiDFlaSh: look at this.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !envyng | Alex135 | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Alex135: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 15:01 |
| Alex135 | anyway i gotta head out | 15:01 |
| Tm_T | !worksforme | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 15:01 |

| ForgeAus | use the command /dns irc.quakenet.org (assuming thats a valid server) and it should tell you calle | 17:06 |

| numberi | load without x? | 17:17 |
| Aardvarks | >:| | 17:17 |
| Aardvarks | How do you mean? | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | one way is to boot to recovery mode | 17:20 |
| ForgeAus | another is to simply switch virtual terminals (ie use control + alt + F keys to switch between tty's) but that will still load X if you boot normally | 17:20 |
| ForgeAus | you just get to switch to a CLI that isn't in X | 17:20 |
| ForgeAus | you can try it even now if your in X try ctrl + alt + F1 (to get back afaik it should be ctrl + alt +F7 by default...) | 17:21 |
| ForgeAus | however I don't know how to stop X once its started so I can't help you there... and the only way I know to not enter X with kubuntu to begin with is using recovery mode... (or fudge up your xorg.conf but I don't suggest doing that) | 17:22 |
| raylu | you can stop x11 in a tty using killall Xorg | 17:24 |
| raylu | or killall kdm | 17:25 |

| raylu | venik, no | 17:44 |
| venik | how do I fix it? | 17:44 |
| raylu | !ask | BraveSpear | 17:45 |

| crazy6 | halp! | 17:45 |
| jerome_ | hi all | 17:45 |
| crazy6 | My wireless card doesn't show up under KNetworkManager menu ; the only thing I changed recently is that I did a _manual_ config of the essid through the System Settings panel | 17:46 |
| venik | this used to work until I installed the dreaded KDE4 | 17:46 |
| venik | and has not worked since then | 17:46 |
| emilsedgh | GreenPeace: System Settings->Advanced | 17:46 |
| venik | everything else SEEMS to work OK | 17:46 |
| raylu | crazy6, does ifconfig show it? | 17:46 |
| emilsedgh | !repeat | lakshmanan | 17:46 |
| ubottu | lakshmanan: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com http://wiki.ubuntu.com http://www.ubuntuforums.org or http://www.kubuntuforums.net while you wait. Also see !patience | 17:46 |
| crazy6 | raylu: yeah, I amusing it right now (did command line iwconfig essid blah, dhclient wlan0) | 17:47 |
| raylu | haha, that's an interesting command | 17:47 |
| crazy6 | well you know what I mean | 17:48 |
| GreenPeace | emilsedgh there is no such tool in kde4 system setting dialog, may be you know command name? | 17:48 |

| crazy6 | iwconfig wlan0 essid blah && ifconfig wlan0 up && dhclient wlan0 | 17:48 |
| crazy6 | oh | 17:48 |
| jerome_ | raylu: probably you will find information in your /var/log/messages file | 17:49 |
| jerome_ | or the /var/log/boot.log | 17:49 |
| raylu | er...what? i didn't ask a question | 17:50 |

| GreenPeace | So, how can I disable propiretary driver for my wifi card under kde4.1? | 17:51 |

| lakshmanan | hi, i want to install compiz fusion in kubuntu, i have kde 3.5 version ..please help | 17:52 |
| jerome_ | crazy6: ok, but if the knetworkmanager won't show it it's probably because it don't work well | 17:52 |

| ForgeAus | lakshmanan what video card do you have? | 17:56 |
| jerome_ | you need to install emerald to | 17:56 |
| ForgeAus | if its NVidia or ATI you might want to make sure your drivers are installed correctly first (go to #compiz-fusion for more assistance) | 17:56 |
| lakshmanan | ForgeAus:i don have a video card..probably the one that intel gave me... | 17:56 |
| jerome_ | ForgeAus: your right | 17:57 |
| ForgeAus | and or compiz-kde-decorator (or whatever the kde package is) | 17:57 |
| jerome_ | be careful with the drivers of your video card | 17:57 |
| ForgeAus | lakshmanan even if its integrated onboard, then you still have video display hardware | 17:57 |
| lakshmanan | yeah | 17:57 |
| ForgeAus | which is essentially a built-in video card | 17:57 |
| jerome_ | ForgeAus: i think that the other pakages come with the dependancies | 17:58 |
| lakshmanan | any prob with that | 17:58 |
| ForgeAus | lspci should list it, but I think you need a | grep (that I wouldn't know how to format for you but... ) | 17:58 |
| ForgeAus | !ATI | 17:58 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 17:58 |
| ForgeAus | there should be more details there in that website... | 17:58 |
| ForgeAus | just check if your card is ATI or NVidia (or Matrox) if so you need to read on, if not then you can relax as long as you can turn composite on without an error compiz will work for you :) | 17:59 |
| jerome_ | ForgeAus: and make a small script bash in your /home/user/.kde/Autostart to start it at the beginning of your session if you don't want that every user use it | 18:00 |

| jerome_ | hi [Relic] | 18:06 |
| Darkrift2 | isnt there a gui drive mapping software for linux that shows you which folders are the largest etc? | 18:06 |
| ForgeAus | yes | 18:07 |
| v6lur | Darkrift2: in konqueror: view -> mode -> file size view (or similar) | 18:07 |
| BraveSpear | How do I prevent any drives (other than the cd rom) from being mounted when booting a livecd | 18:07 |
| ForgeAus | kdiskfree? I think... | 18:07 |
| Darkrift2 | that sounds like it | 18:07 |
| jerome_ | Darkrift2: i don't now but a small script can do that | 18:07 |
| ForgeAus | theres another one or two too that give you graphical views of disk usage I can't remember any of them offhand tho | 18:07 |
| Darkrift2 | its a one time use, so ill try the first one | 18:08 |
| jerome_ | BraveSpear: you can use the mount command | 18:08 |
| ForgeAus | jerome he wasn't to prevent | 18:09 |
| jerome_ | ho sorry | 18:09 |
| ForgeAus | short answer BraveSpear is you can't | 18:09 |
| ForgeAus | since its a LiveCD you can't change the data on it, all you can do is unmount them after boot | 18:10 |
| ForgeAus | or remaster the LiveCD | 18:10 |
| jerome_ | exactly ForgeAus | 18:10 |
| jerome_ | hummm what is the french channel? | 18:11 |

| jerome_ | parceque bon en anglais j'essaie mais je dois pouvoir aider davantage en français | 18:12 |
| Sixzero_ | DVD was supposed to stand for Digital Versatile Disc. | 18:12 |
| ForgeAus | ahh ok well I've only seen it called Digital Video Disk | 18:13 |
| Darkrift2 | i had heard that but guess it never went through | 18:13 |
| ForgeAus | but the classic one that made me laugh the hardest was whne I heard about DDR :) | 18:13 |
| ForgeAus | Double Data-Rate :)... | 18:13 |
| Sixzero_ | Digital Video Disc just seems easier to identify it by considering the format's main use. | 18:13 |
| ForgeAus | I asked them if they were serious when they first told me... nowerdays it sounds kinda normal but back then it was absurd! | 18:14 |

| wernerm | definately: I have been using KDE3 for last couple of years (I only use linux) but I can't get used to KDE4 - it's foreign and a bit unstable still (though fast) but I can't figure out how to do stuff (like basic stuff) to customize it Thus, my question: Is there a *good* online guide to KDE4 written especially for KDE3 users?? | 19:05 |
| jerome_ | or 10 for the / and 1 for the swap but in ths way it's 11 for linux | 19:05 |

| wernerm | definitely: I'll use any version that Hardy can provide | 19:07 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 19:07 |
| wernerm | Why would you want to run *nix apps on Windows? | 19:08 |
| amerigo | it's refered to me | 19:08 |
| amerigo | ?? | 19:08 |
| wernerm | (I'm just curious, not against the whole idea or anything, I think it's wonderful that it *can* be done) | 19:08 |
| rjune_ | because you like *nix apps more then the win32 counterparts? | 19:09 |
| wernerm | Yeah, but then why use windows? Because some crucial win32 apps are not ever being ported to *nix? (lol) | 19:10 |
| amerigo | #wubi | 19:10 |
| wernerm | Interesting | 19:10 |
| wernerm | Damn, wubi is actually quite cool, just been through the site. If I had Windows, I would use it. | 19:24 |
| ForgeAus | really? | 19:25 |
| wernerm | Yeah, well I did not know about it | 19:25 |
| === minifig_ is now known as Daniel_Minifig | ||
| ForgeAus | whats it do exactly? I thought it just installed ubuntu | 19:25 |
| Daniel_Minifig | Anyone familiar with VLC? | 19:25 |
| wernerm | I was taken aback by finding out that such technology (apps) exists. Very interesting | 19:26 |
| ForgeAus | personally I like AndLinux for an embedded Linux if not Vmware, etc... | 19:26 |
| === berruer is now known as esbe | ||
| Daniel_Minifig | When you close Amarok, it goes by the clock. Any way to do that with VLC? | 19:26 |
| frybye | Daniel_Minifig: use vlc a bit but no expert... | 19:26 |
| ForgeAus | Daniel I use it but I aren't familiar with its intricacies possibly | 19:26 |
| wernerm | Well, the fact that it *just installs Ubuntu* on freakin' Win32 is quite cool, I must say. I thought it installed *nix apps on windows, almost kinda like another cygwin type of clone | 19:27 |
| ForgeAus | uh its Amarok that I'm even less familiar with! rofl | 19:27 |
| Daniel_Minifig | Kaffeine does that but shuts off the music. | 19:27 |
| ForgeAus | no wernerm I think you need to exit windows to run them | 19:27 |
| ForgeAus | essentially its a dualboot right? | 19:27 |
| wernerm | Daniel_Minifig: You mean you want to minimize VLS to the system tray? | 19:28 |
| ForgeAus | not sure what it does in the way of partitioning | 19:28 |
| frybye | wernerm: VLC - or? | 19:28 |
| Daniel_Minifig | Yeah and have it of the taskbar. | 19:28 |
| ForgeAus | or if it has some kinda wrapper to host ubuntu on ntfs | 19:28 |
| Daniel_Minifig | Ihave it on constantly playing a radio station. | 19:29 |
| wernerm | ForgeAus: Oh, ok - Still kewl that you don't need to partition your drive. Wonder how the speed of it *really* is when installed that way? | 19:29 |
| ForgeAus | you can put any app in the taskbar if you want... | 19:29 |
| wernerm | Daniel_Minifig: Can realplayer not do such a thing? | 19:29 |
| ForgeAus | wernerm ok no partitioning? so how do they mount with grub4dos? | 19:29 |
| ForgeAus | erm boot not mount... | 19:29 |
| Daniel_Minifig | When you minimize it goes to the taskbar. I am trying to getit to stay on but show by the clock. | 19:30 |
| ForgeAus | that would make my kubuntu partition redundant lol | 19:30 |
| ForgeAus | then again so does andlinux I guess | 19:30 |
| wernerm | ForgeAus: http://wubi-installer.org/ | 19:30 |
| wernerm | ForgeAus: I don't have Win32, so I just find it facinating that it can be done. Since I only use Linux, I don't really need to make anything else run anywhere :D | 19:31 |
| ForgeAus | that site doesn't answer any of my questions lol | 19:31 |
| === scarygary is now known as gary_ | ||
| === gary_ is now known as scarygary | ||
| ForgeAus | ahh ok wubi hosts ubuntu as a single file on ntfs | 19:33 |
| ForgeAus | (or fat32 presumably but you'd probably have size issues that way) | 19:33 |
| wernerm | Yeah that seems to be the worst file system | 19:34 |
| ForgeAus | so essentially its AndLinux... only boots natively to it presumably by adding a boot.ini entry to something like grub4dos that mounts it | 19:34 |
| ForgeAus | actually I don't mind fat32 for the most part, the only 2 things I likea bout ntfs is the size handling isn't limited to 4gig files (or whatever) and that it has built in compression :)... | 19:35 |
| fdoving | so, is intrepid usable? | 19:36 |
| ForgeAus | I think its still in alpha unless tahts changed over the last day or three | 19:36 |
| scarygary | Evening.. | 19:37 |

| scarygary | 4.1 worked fine before. | 19:39 |
| fdoving | did you select the correct session from the kdm logon screen? | 19:39 |
| scarygary | You mean what window manager to use? | 19:39 |
| fdoving | scarygary: yes. | 19:41 |

| acoc | anyone here have a ubuntu-kubuntu duel boot | 20:00 |
| ForgeAus | you just need to specify the root being on hda2 or sdb3 or wherever the partition is | 20:01 |
| ForgeAus | (and hd0,3 vs hd1,2) | 20:02 |
| ForgeAus | its all modifyable in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:02 |
| ForgeAus | but I find an ubuntu/kubuntu dualboot unnecessary since you can install ubunut-desktop + kubuntu-dekstop without dualbooting | 20:03 |
| acoc | I'm specifically interested in calling the linux-images different names | 20:03 |
| ForgeAus | you simply chose from the kdm (or gdm) menu which desktop you wish to boot into.... | 20:03 |
| acoc | I'm actually using OzOs and Ubuntu | 20:03 |
| acoc | OzOs is a derivation of kubuntu | 20:04 |
| ForgeAus | if you wanted different ones I'd go for something more radical like suse & ubuntu or Mandriva & Kubuntu | 20:04 |
| kottlett | SeanTater: try using knetworkmanager, manual config -> configure device -> (X) Automatic | 20:04 |
| ForgeAus | using enlightenment yes? | 20:04 |
| acoc | yep OzOs uses enlightenment | 20:05 |
| ForgeAus | I'm guessing all it is is ubuntu + OzOs's own custom repository | 20:05 |
| acoc | exactly | 20:06 |
| acoc | it's surprisingly stable | 20:06 |
| ForgeAus | the base ubuntu enlightenment packages for hardy I think are still e16 not so good, so the Oz.Os ones are probably newer | 20:06 |
| ForgeAus | but other than that not much different I'm guessing | 20:06 |
| acoc | the enlightenment packages are cvs based, so they allow the user to update the windows manager from cvs whenever the'd like | 20:07 |
| SeanTater | kottlett: Thanks | 20:08 |
| acoc | the repos also have themes and modules specific to ozos | 20:08 |
| acoc | but back to the problem, as of now I just renamed the images from ubuntu and ozos to distro specific names and edited the menu.lst to be able to duel boot | 20:09 |
| acoc | but as I upgrade it will just overwrite these changes | 20:09 |
| acoc | I was hoping there would be a way to set the name on installation within apt | 20:10 |

| Robbinwilliam | hi this is Robbin... | 21:35 |
| Robbinwilliam | u need help on manual installation? | 21:35 |
| verduz | Hy robbin, i desperately need help on manual installation | 21:36 |
| Robbinwilliam | so tell me about ur hd and how do u want to install in it? | 21:36 |
| verduz | Whell i wanted a dual boot windows/kubuntu | 21:37 |
| verduz | During the first installation I decided to use 12 GB for Kubuntu and 65 GB for windows | 21:37 |
| Robbinwilliam | ok thats kl... | 21:37 |
| verduz | Something went wrong. Lilo tries to boot Kubuntu but it doesn't start | 21:38 |
| Robbinwilliam | so while doing man..partitioning so u should recognize...it | 21:38 |
| Robbinwilliam | probably by its size... | 21:38 |
| Robbinwilliam | or u can use free space... | 21:38 |
| verduz | Now I am in manual partitioning | 21:39 |
| verduz | I have only hda | 21:39 |
| verduz | hda1 fat32 65 GB (i think it's windows) | 21:39 |
| Robbinwilliam | no other partition all? | 21:39 |
| verduz | hda5 ext3 12 GB | 21:39 |
| verduz | hda6 swap 608 MB | 21:39 |
| verduz | what's next? | 21:40 |
| Robbinwilliam | ok then whats the matter go ahead... | 21:40 |
| verduz | In manual installation, i have those partition listed and I don't know how to go ahead | 21:40 |
| Robbinwilliam | u've chosen them as their proper type thats..fine,,, | 21:40 |
| Robbinwilliam | is hda5 chosen as root?? thats "/" | 21:41 |
| verduz | I don't want to dele my Windows partition. I only want to install Kubunto in the previous created partition | 21:41 |
| verduz | It' says /dev/hda6 | 21:41 |

| Wastet[bRe] | how to set user to be root? | 22:51 |
| Agent_bob | !root | 22:51 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:51 |
| Agent_bob | !kdesu | 22:51 |
| ubottu | In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:51 |

| Wastet[bRe] | can i log in as root instead of my created login? | 23:14 |
| Wastet[bRe] | or can i put my login with root privilegues | 23:14 |
| Sag_er | I tried adding "nousbstorage" to the boot options, still get the same thing | 23:14 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er anyway we can talk while you are in the busybox shell ? have more than one computer ? | 23:15 |
| ahmeddrira | salut | 23:15 |
| Sag_er | yeah | 23:15 |
| Wastet[bRe] | on user manager i set primary group root | 23:15 |
| Agent_bob | !sudo | Wastet[bRe] | 23:15 |
| ubottu | Wastet[bRe]: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 23:15 |
| Sag_er | Agent_bob: yes | 23:15 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er ok in the busybox shell do this ls /dev/scd* | 23:16 |
| ahmeddrira | svp c est quoi la meilleure machine virtuelle que je peut installer sur mon Kubuntu | 23:16 |
| ign0ramus | !fr | ahmeddrira | 23:16 |
| ubottu | ahmeddrira: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 23:16 |
| Sag_er | No such file or directory | 23:16 |
| ign0ramus | ahmeddrira: also, Virtualbox | 23:17 |
| ahmeddrira | so i am sory what is the best virtuel machin | 23:17 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er ok. mknod /dev/scd0 b 11 0 | 23:17 |
| ign0ramus | !virtualbox | 23:17 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 23:17 |
| ahmeddrira | i try it but it dont detect usb | 23:17 |
| Sag_er | done | 23:18 |
| ign0ramus | ahmeddrira: what is your guest machine (windows xp?) | 23:18 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er type in "exit" and see if it continues to load or loops back to the busybox prompt | 23:18 |
| Sag_er | back to busy box after: | 23:18 |
| ahmeddrira | yes i try windows xp | 23:19 |
| Nyad | how do I change my root pwd? I tried sudo passwd but it hasn't changed a thing, my pwd is still the same | 23:19 |
| Nyad | as my user pwd | 23:20 |
| Sag_er | unable to grab IRQ6 for the floppy drive, tried mounting /sys and /proc and /root/dev, but failed on all | 23:20 |
| ign0ramus | ahmeddrira: PUEL (Personal Use & Evaluation License) Version - "Without this, your USB devices can't be used in the guest OS and you cannot use Windows Remote Desktop as a server in the guest OS." | 23:20 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er ok. modprobe scsi-mod ;modprobe cdrom | 23:21 |
| Sag_er | "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" may have been the important line | 23:21 |
| MrKennie | Nyad: why do you need to change your root password? | 23:21 |
| Sag_er | done | 23:21 |
| Sag_er | exit again? | 23:21 |
| Nyad | MrKennie: I set a bad one initially | 23:22 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er mount /dev/scd0 /root ;exit | 23:22 |
| ahmeddrira | ok thanks i wil try other | 23:22 |
| ign0ramus | ahmeddrira: get the .deb file from Sun | 23:22 |
| MrKennie | Nyad: it's better to use sudo rather than change the root password. | 23:23 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er ? | 23:23 |
| Sag_er | mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory | 23:23 |
| === sgallinger is now known as nofriend | ||
| Sag_er | (before I tried "exit") | 23:23 |
| Agent_bob | ok. and exit just loops ? | 23:23 |
| Sag_er | yeah | 23:23 |
| ign0ramus | ahmeddrira: http://www.sun.com/software/products/virtualbox/index.jsp | 23:23 |
| ahmeddrira | yes | 23:23 |
| Sag_er | "Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" | 23:23 |
| Nyad | MrKennie: but you need the root pwd to use sudo | 23:23 |
| MrKennie | Nyad: no, it's asking you for your password | 23:24 |
| MrKennie | Nyad: that's how it works | 23:24 |
| ign0ramus | ahmeddrira: if you get the "virutalbox-ose" package through APT, you won't be able to use usb function | 23:24 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er i can tell you what the issue is, but i don't think i can solve it. you need to modprobe a module for your hardware.... but i have no way of knowing which. | 23:24 |
| MrKennie | Nyad: and unless you add other users to the admin group they can't use sudo | 23:24 |
| Sag_er | what is modprobe? | 23:25 |
| Nyad | can't they use sudo and then type the root pwd | 23:25 |
| Nyad | ? | 23:25 |
| MrKennie | Nyad: no, unless they manage to guess roots scrambled password | 23:25 |
| ahmeddrira | ok thanks ign0ramus | 23:25 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er modprobe is a command that inserts module into the kernel (module = small peace of code that add support for a specific peace of hardware) | 23:25 |
| ign0ramus | np ahmeddrira | 23:25 |
| MrKennie | !sudo | Nyad | 23:25 |
| ubottu | Nyad: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 23:25 |
| Sag_er | how do I figure out which part of the hardware is problematic? | 23:26 |
| ign0ramus | root is disabled by default in (k)ubuntu | 23:26 |
| ign0ramus | superuser != root | 23:26 |
| === usuario is now known as usuario_ | ||
| Nyad | oh, that's what had me confused | 23:28 |
| Agent_bob | Sag_er you could ask in #ubuntu maybe someone in there is better versed in this sort of thing. you can check the wiki/bug reports to see if it's a known issue with that install cd you can also try the "alternate install cd" which is a textmode (ncurses menu driver) installer and is more flexable. | 23:28 |
| Agent_bob | superuser == root by default | 23:28 |
| Sag_er | Thanks, Agent_bob! | 23:28 |
| MrKennie | sudo id -u and see what you get :P | 23:29 |
| Agent_bob | root login is disabled the account is locked so that you can't login as root. but the superuser account is still there. | 23:29 |
| MrKennie | Agent_bob: didn't it used to be a scrambled password or something? unless I'm thinking of gentoo but anyway. | 23:30 |
| Agent_bob | MrKennie sudo -i id -u or sudo us - -- id -u maybe. | 23:30 |
| ign0ramus | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:30 |
| Agent_bob | MrKennie no it's a locked password | 23:30 |
| MrKennie | Agent_bob: ah, k | 23:30 |
| MrKennie | hense the ! I guess | 23:30 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 23:30 |
| Agent_bob | x set and see shadow ! locked blahblahblah set and clear text md5 | 23:31 |
| Agent_bob | * set and blank | 23:32 |
| Agent_bob | iirc ^ | 23:32 |
| MrKennie | using Linux for 8 years and still learning new stuff. | 23:32 |
| Agent_bob | me too | 23:32 |
| Agent_bob | s/8/9/ | 23:33 |
| MrKennie | =) | 23:33 |
| ian__ | I'm running ubuntu, and I loaded kubuntu-desktop-kde4, and it was horribly horribly broken | 23:40 |
| ian__ | the package kde4 wasn't installed, is this a dependancy issue in the repository, or do I need to calm down and wait for it to stabilize? | 23:40 |
| MrKennie | ian__: hardy? | 23:41 |
| ian__ | yep, hardy | 23:41 |
| MrKennie | ian__: do you get any errors? | 23:42 |
| MrKennie | ian__: rather, any errors during installation? | 23:42 |
| ian__ | well, no, but I have issues like the panel vanishes, it starts loading multiple instances of things I have in my gnome session startup, etc | 23:42 |
| master_ | There's no way to undelete a file I just deleted using the rm command, is there? | 23:42 |
| ian__ | no, install was clean, used apt | 23:42 |
| MrKennie | ian__: ok | 23:43 |
| MrKennie | master_: not as such | 23:43 |
| ian__ | but theoretically kubuntu-desktop-kde4 should make a complete, default kde desktop, correct? | 23:44 |
| Agent_bob | master_ if you emediately alt+sysRQ+u then yes there might be. | 23:44 |
| MrKennie | ian__: are you using the ppa repository? | 23:44 |
| master_ | What's sysRQ ? | 23:44 |
| ian__ | I have a ppa.launchpad.net repo, but I believe thats only for a specific application | 23:44 |
| Agent_bob | master_ often shared with print_screen if it's not highly valuable i doubt it's worth it tho. | 23:45 |
| Agent_bob | !undelete | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 23:45 |
| MrKennie | ian__: is it kde 4.0.x ? | 23:45 |
| ian__ | did I somehow mix newer kde4 bits into my system by accident? | 23:46 |
| master_ | Agent_bob: sysRQ is a key that only exists on mainframes? | 23:46 |
| ian__ | mrkennie: its deb version is 1.75 :-/, how can I be sure about the actual version? | 23:46 |
| MrKennie | ian__: any kde help just go to help -> about kde | 23:46 |
| ian__ | I can't load my kde desktop at all, its completely unusable | 23:47 |
| MrKennie | ian__: you should be able to run konsole | 23:47 |
| master_ | I do have a sysRQ key.. wow.. It's FN+end | 23:48 |
| master_ | Agent_bob: Well.. It appears that key combination causes kde to take a screen snapshot.. I my work is lost. | 23:50 |
| master_ | Agent_bob: Saved!! The file deleted was AAL.lyx but its contents are still in AAL.lyx~ | 23:51 |
| MrKennie | that was lucky :) | 23:51 |
| MrKennie | master_: at least from now on you'll be more careful using rm :) | 23:52 |
| Agent_bob | only rm what you want to destroy ;) | 23:53 |
| katcita | the install of intrepid went fine but it doesn't mount /home and when I try to mount /home it says /dev/sda3 already mounted or /home busy, yet 'mount' doesnt list /home as mounted | 23:54 |
| ian__ | ok, sorry for the lag | 23:54 |
| ian__ | konsole: help->about says 3.5.9, which I'm guessing is part of the problem | 23:54 |
| geek | Agent_bob: lol. true. only rm -rf when you bloody know what you're doing | 23:55 |
| geek | ian__: i think 3.5.10 is in backport | 23:55 |
| ian__ | so I've somehow mixed two versions, possibly from different repositories and I should probably leave you all alone until I sort that out? does that sound accurate? | 23:55 |
| geek | s | 23:55 |
| Agent_bob | katcita mount lists the content of /etc/mtab check what's in /proc/mounts to see what is really mounted. | 23:55 |
| master_ | MrKennie: Or.. buy more drives and use a filesystem that stores diffs.. | 23:55 |
| MrKennie | hah, yea | 23:56 |
| master_ | I diffable filesystem makes a lot of sense for office-type documents.. | 23:56 |
| Agent_bob | geek -f is default in debian and it's dirivatives | 23:56 |
| master_ | They are never all that big, anyway | 23:56 |
| Agent_bob | katcita also df -h is handy for disks | 23:57 |
| katcita | Agent_bob: neither show it as mounted | 23:57 |
| master_ | now, somewhere out of the blue.. my entire home directly became a read-only filesystem.. wtf?! | 23:58 |
| master_ | touch: cannot touch `it': Read-only file system | 23:58 |
| MrKennie | master_: alt+sysrq+u will do that | 23:58 |
| master_ | MrKennie: ah.. how can I undo it? | 23:58 |
| Agent_bob | katcita ok. if you'll pastebin the output of this command i'll see what we can do. cat /etc/fstab /proc/partitions ;sudo fdisk -l | 23:59 |
| Agent_bob | !pastebin | katcita | 23:59 |
| ubottu | katcita: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 23:59 |
| MrKennie | not sure, I use it in vary rare occasions | 23:59 |
| MrKennie | when nvidia locks up or something | 23:59 |
