| LeeJunFan | rm pid, then try to start dbus again /etc/init.d/dbus start | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: I really don't want anything restored from XP. I just need a clean installation of Kubuntu on my laptop, if my HD allows it. | 00:00 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: then I'd simply try to install kubuntu, if the HD is really damaged you won't get far. | 00:01 |
| Colonel_Panic | LeeJunFan: Would rebooting and starting a new session maybe fix this? | 00:02 |
| Colonel_Panic | BRB rebooting | 00:02 |
| LeeJunFan | Colonel_Panic: you could try, but if dbus think's it's already running because that pid file is there, it's going to fail again on boot. | 00:02 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: I totally understand that I should burn a new install CD without any errors and try installing it. But for now, I am looking for some utility for "Disk Checking" in Kubuntu. Something has to be there like the DOS command we used to have in Windows. | 00:03 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Something like "Scandisk" option in Windows. | 00:05 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: I found it! "sudo badblocks -s -v /dev/sda1" | 00:07 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Hats off to Kubuntu! :) | 00:07 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: cool. | 00:09 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: There were two partitions, I think so. How do I ensure that I check for all of the partitions? Right now it's running for sda1. | 00:10 |
| LeeJunFan | depends on how it's partitioned, 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' will list partitions | 00:10 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: all of them? | 00:11 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: I'd imagine you could just check the whole drive with badblocks /dev/sda | 00:12 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: As I told you earlier that I tried creating a boot/swap partition while I was trying to install Kubuntu, but the installation did not succeed. So I am not sure, if those partitions need to be scanned too. | 00:13 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: considering you don't seem to have a bootsector that's readable that's a good idea anyway, because checking individual partitions will not check the part of your HD which holds the bootsector. | 00:13 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Oh really? I would try that, once after sda1 finishes. | 00:13 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: I'd just ctrl-c that one you have running and start over with /dev/sda | 00:14 |
| LeeJunFan | since /dev/sda will scan the whole drive you're really going to be scanning sda1 twice if you let it go. | 00:14 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: It seems useble desktop only has a read-only access to my HD but that should not matter as we're only checking for the errors, not trying to fix them. | 00:15 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Okay, let me cancel it, and go for sda. | 00:15 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: if you're using sudo then it has r/w access. | 00:16 |
| LeeJunFan | it needs r/w because badblocks reads and writes data to the HD to make sure it's stable. That bad CD you have might be the reason it failed. | 00:16 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Yes, you were right! :) Earlier it was checking 37608132 size (for sda1), but now it is checking 39070070 (for sda)! | 00:16 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Oh, that could be the case. It says "Checking for bad blocks (read-only test)" | 00:17 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: oh, r/w test is an option. | 00:18 |
| LeeJunFan | good though, read only will be a lot faster. | 00:18 |
| Carla1989 | I would imagine so, yes. | 00:18 |
| LeeJunFan | If that works then just install kubuntu from a verified error-free CD and you should be all set. | 00:20 |
| Carla1989 | Yep, It has already checked 8.5/39 | 00:23 |
| Carla1989 | Must I tell you, I was so dissapointed earlier from not being able to check my HD for any errors -- that I thought of going for a new one simply trashing the old one. | 00:25 |
| Carla1989 | But if there are no errors, I would not buy a new one! | 00:25 |
| Carla1989 | :) | 00:25 |
| Carla1989 | There is another possibility though. If HD does not have any errors, I have to find some other source. | 00:26 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: if the HD doesn't have any errors then it's likely that the installation failed because the CD was corrupt. When the installation failed it may have left your HD w/o a boot sector, that's all. | 00:28 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: omg! w/o a boot sector? You mean corrupted it, in some sense? If that's the case, are there steps to re-install the boot sector like it was before? | 00:29 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: that would be re-done during installation. | 00:29 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: the problem is that you have a 1/2 installed system. If you put your old boot sector back that would be XP's, which would try to boot to the kubuntu installation on your HD, wouldn't work. | 00:30 |
| Carla1989 | Oh, so in the meanwhile - I'll just get another bootable CD done on this laptop (one which is working perfectly). | 00:30 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: right, just make sure you have a good CD and try again. | 00:31 |
| Carla1989 | What software do you use for burning bootable CD's? | 00:31 |
| Carla1989 | These are all good CD's, infact brand new box I opened last week. | 00:31 |
| Carla1989 | There must have been some fault, with me burning them incorrectly. | 00:31 |

| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: I think there's a free program for windows called cdburn or something, lemme see if I can find it. I haven't used windows for anything except games in about 11 years. | 00:32 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Oh, that'll be superrr | 00:33 |
| LeeJunFan | Unless I'm fixing someone elses broken windows system. :) | 00:33 |
| Carla1989 | Haha, like in this case. | 00:33 |
| HollowPoint | deepburner works on windows and is free | 00:33 |
| Carla1989 | Deepburner, is it? Does it involve nerdy steps to be followed when burning a "bootable" CD? | 00:34 |
| Carla1989 | If I can remember, we get an ISO image after we download it from kubuntu website. | 00:34 |
| Carla1989 | What do I do afterwards? | 00:34 |
| HollowPoint | if you call selecting a burnable image from within the program and clicking ok nerdy I suppose then yeah lol | 00:34 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: yeah, HollowPoint has one there, imgburn was the one I was thinking about. http://www.imgburn.com/ | 00:34 |
| Carla1989 | Haha, okay then I am that much nerdy myself. | 00:35 |
| Carla1989 | So which one have you used for burning bootable ISO's | 00:35 |
| LeeJunFan | when you are burning an iso image you don't have to worry about it being bootable. That's in the iso | 00:35 |
| HollowPoint | thankfully the Linux ISO's are bootable by nature, if you create a data CD and copy the image over it looses it's bootable properties, if you select the option to burn an iso image then select said image it will burn properly and remain bootable | 00:36 |
| LeeJunFan | I haven't burned a CD on windows in a LONG time. | 00:36 |
| HollowPoint | unfortunately I still have to use Windows at work occassionally, although that contract is ending soon and my business revolves mostly around Linux | 00:36 |
| Carla1989 | Oh my god, really? I always thought, we have to get the CD bootable by doing some "nerdy" things. But it looks like I was wrong | 00:36 |
| HollowPoint | in the old days you had to, but these days it's built into the iso | 00:37 |
| mcludoboss | français?? | 00:37 |
| HollowPoint | you just have to remember to choose the option to burn an existing iso file and not create a data cd | 00:37 |
| Colonel_Panic | OK I can't figure out why dbus isn't starting when I log in | 00:37 |

| Darkrift2 | nethack could be a decent game if it had any decent documentation... for a 20 year old game, im surprised 10+ searches on google for how to equip an item all point to useless junk | 00:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | Is there some conf file I can edit to fix this? | 00:38 |
| zabbadapp | Carla1989: for burning an iso or any cd on windows: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ (open source windows software) | 00:38 |
| Colonel_Panic | aren't there like a gazillion different versions of nethack? | 00:39 |
| Colonel_Panic | anyway, Usurper is a much better game anyway | 00:39 |
| LeeJunFan | Colonel_Panic: try this - 'sudo pidof dbus-daemon' and make sure it returns nothing. | 00:40 |
| Colonel_Panic | I got 2 numbers as a response | 00:40 |
| Colonel_Panic | one sec... lemme try something else | 00:40 |
| LeeJunFan | Colonel_Panic: then dbus is running | 00:42 |
| Colonel_Panic | hah! OK dbus IS running | 00:42 |
| Colonel_Panic | something else must be causing the problem | 00:42 |
| LeeJunFan | so there's some other unknown reason your externals aren't being recognized. | 00:42 |
| LeeJunFan | Colonel_Panic: try 'lsusb' and see if your HD is listed on the USB bus. | 00:43 |
| Carla1989 | zabbadapp: Have you used this software yourself? Because if you haven't, I've already started downloading imageburn, suggested by LeeFanJun | 00:43 |
| MySQL_dumkopf | herro, I for some raisin have the option to shut off my computer. I also noticed that I'm no longer prompted for my credentials with a pretty login window, I'm dropped to a command line and have to "startx" to get my desktop. | 00:44 |
| LeeJunFan | I know imageburn is popular and easy, from others who've recommended it, but I've not used it myself. It has a checking feature so you can verify the CD btw :) | 00:44 |
| MySQL_dumkopf | don't have the option* | 00:45 |
| HollowPoint | MySQL_dumkopf: that doesn't sound good. Which version of Kubuntu are you using and when did this start happening? Do you remember making any large changes before this happened the first time? | 00:45 |
| MySQL_dumkopf | HollowPoint, yeah, I'm on Kubuntu 3.5.8, I had 4.0 installed (I'm on Gutsy) and I removed KDE 4.0 and this started happening heh | 00:46 |
| zabbadapp | Carla1989: yes, briefly ... but I'm sure imgburn works as well ... is it also open source? | 00:46 |
| LeeJunFan | MySQL_dumkopf: then kdm4 is trying to be started and isn't there any more. | 00:46 |
| HollowPoint | you need to re-install kdm for kde3.5.9 | 00:46 |
| HollowPoint | 3.5.8* | 00:46 |
| LeeJunFan | MySQL_dumkopf: the file /etc/X11/default-display-manager holds information as to which display manager to start on boot, it needs to be changed to point to /usr/bin/kdm | 00:47 |
| HollowPoint | although actually it's probably still there, just isn't being pointed to, | 00:47 |
| MySQL_dumkopf | well, I'm able to shutdown/power off at the command line and start it via the command line so it's not a BIG problem, thought it would be an easy fix :) | 00:47 |
| HollowPoint | there ya go | 00:47 |
| zabbadapp | Carla1989: (looking at the homepage) i see that imgburn looks pretty good, i'm sure it will serve you well. | 00:47 |
| LeeJunFan | MySQL_dumkopf: just open it with a text editor and change it. save it, then start kdm with - sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 00:48 |
| LeeJunFan | or just reboot | 00:48 |
| HollowPoint | or reboot for a completely clean start, | 00:48 |
| MySQL_dumkopf | danke herr LeeJunFan :) I've made the changes, I shall restart | 00:49 |
| HollowPoint | you keep getting there before me LeeJunFan lol | 00:49 |
| pekuja | I'm trying to download the KDE 4 remix ISO, but all the links seem to be broken. is that not available anymore? | 00:49 |
| HollowPoint | are you already on kubuntu with KDE3.5.9? | 00:49 |
| pekuja | no | 00:49 |
| pekuja | I'm doing a fresh install | 00:49 |
| Colonel_Panic | LeeJunFan: Here's my /etc/fstab file: http://www.pastebin.ca/1202184 | 00:50 |
| HollowPoint | fair enough, well to be perfectly honest I did a VM install of KDE4 Remix the other day and I STILL had to upgrade it to KDE4.1 via adding the appropriate repos to /etc/apt/sources.list so I'd suggest just a fresh install of Kubuntu normal, then add the repo and upgrade to KDE4.1 | 00:50 |
| HollowPoint | or install alongside 3.5.* | 00:50 |
| pekuja | ok, I guess that's ok | 00:51 |
| pekuja | the links should probably be taken down. there are links to a "beta" directory on mirrors, but none seem to have that | 00:51 |
| HollowPoint | the links were working the other day so I'm not sure why thats happening | 00:51 |
| LeeJunFan | Colonel_Panic: you shouldn't need usb devices in fstab, did you try lsusb? | 00:51 |
| mcludoboss | fr | 00:51 |
| Colonel_Panic | no... I just added that today | 00:52 |
| Colonel_Panic | I was going to delete that line | 00:52 |
| LeeJunFan | run lsusb and see if you see your hd's. | 00:52 |
| mcludoboss | I want the server adress for french please | 00:52 |
| mcludoboss | I want the server adress for french please | 00:52 |
| HollowPoint | #kubuntu-fr | 00:52 |
| mcludoboss | thanks! | 00:52 |
| HollowPoint | np | 00:52 |
| Carla1989 | Looks like it has started scanning bigger chunks, going very fast now. 24/39 done. | 00:53 |
| pekuja | HollowPoint, well on the download page, if you select KDE 4 remix, it just downloads the regular version anyways | 00:53 |
| HollowPoint | interesting | 00:53 |
| Colonel_Panic | LeeJunFan: What's lsusb? | 00:54 |
| pekuja | now where did I see that "beta" link... | 00:54 |
| LeeJunFan | Colonel_Panic: it's a shell command that lists what's attached to the USB ports. | 00:54 |
| HollowPoint | well as I said earlier pekuja the remix isn't much use anyway as you still have to sit there for half an hour or more updating to KDE4.1 so may as well install Kubuntu with KDE3.5.* and upgrade/install alongside KDE4.1 from the repo | 00:54 |
| pekuja | HollowPoint, ok | 00:55 |
| LeeJunFan | I agree with that. | 00:55 |
| pekuja | HollowPoint, well I guess the point would be that I wouldn't get two copies of KDE | 00:55 |

| pekuja | HollowPoint, 4.0 would upgrade to 4.1, but 3.5 is in separate packages, right? | 00:55 |
| HollowPoint | yeah it would be another option to boot into from KDM | 00:55 |
| MySQL_dumkopf | LeeJunFan, that worked wonderfully, thanks! | 00:56 |
| HollowPoint | you would still have both installed | 00:56 |
| pekuja | yeah | 00:56 |
| pekuja | extra clutter | 00:56 |
| HollowPoint | true | 00:56 |
| LeeJunFan | pekuja: yeah, you'd have to remove 3.5 after. | 00:56 |
| christoph | hi togehter | 00:56 |
| HollowPoint | sgallinger: does anything on your system play wmv files? i.e. mplayer? | 00:56 |

| Carla1989 | Is it true that there is rivalry between debian and kubuntu? A friend of mine told me. | 01:04 |
| Fieldy | not that i'm aware of | 01:04 |
| HollowPoint | I gave up on Gentoo a while back, did three system installs within 4 weeks of 2008.0 being released, one using ~x86, one without and one fully stable, I managed to break all 3 | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Carla1989: theres no rivalry anywhere except for sad fanboys | 01:04 |
| Carla1989 | ActionParsnip: Okay. :) | 01:04 |
| christoph | @action - thnk a lot. but ie done these tutorial for my 32-bit system. Now I have 64-Bit. | 01:04 |
| HollowPoint | Carla1989: *Ubuntu is derrived from Debian, the *Ubuntu family of releases is far more suited for desktops and new users than Debian is | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Carla1989: if it works for you, use it. same with mac or windows | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Carla1989: what other people use on their system doesnt affect you so dont sweat it | 01:05 |
| christoph | some keys of my keyboard are dead - sorry | 01:05 |

| ActionParsnip | kathy: its broken, you have both pieces. Ive not looked into it but you may be able to websearch a remedy | 01:07 |

| ActionParsnip | christoph: yuo can install 32bit libs ;) | 01:07 |
| christoph | okay. I try it. Thanks a lot. | 01:08 |
| Carla1989 | Okay, the badblocks test completed just now and there were no errors. Should I just go ahead and install Kubuntu and hope for it to fix my Boot Sector progam too? LeeJunFan mentioned that interrupted Kubuntu setup program may have left my HD without a boot sector and a fresh install would fix it. | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Carla1989: you can reinstall grub if your boot sector is damaged | 01:08 |
| HollowPoint | Carla1989: I take it you've formatted the drive and run a disk check which has now reported no errors? If so then yeah fresh install of Kubuntu should be all good, are you wanting it to dualboot wit hWindows? | 01:09 |
| Fieldy | !kernel upgrade | 01:09 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel upgrade | 01:09 |

| HollowPoint | np | 01:10 |
| Carla1989 | Just to repeat the long story: I wanted to use this laptop after so many months but it wouldn't boot my XP. So I tried installing Kubuntu and it was interrupted in between on account of an error on the install CD that I burnt. Afterwards it wouldn't boot and give "Please insert drive in the system, Press any key when done" errors. So I thought my HD has gone bad but badblocks couldn't find anything. | 01:11 |
| Carla1989 | So I'll go ahead and install kubuntu from scratch - after burning a new CD with no errors, hopefully this time. | 01:12 |
| Fieldy | hm. i see a kernel update in adept. it mentions "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed." but when i look at linux-generic, there's no upgrade available. at this point i'm confused, how do i update my kernel? | 01:12 |
| HollowPoint | that should work fine Carla1989, if you're wanting a dualboot then that should work also, just install XP first, then once installed you install Kubuntu and it'll give you the option to re-partition the drive and install alongside it, then you'll have both OS's with a boot menu | 01:13 |
| HollowPoint | Fieldy: why do you need to upgrade your kernel? | 01:13 |
| Fieldy | HollowPoint: i don't need to, i wish to | 01:13 |
| HollowPoint | what version are you running at the moment? | 01:13 |
| Fieldy | 2.6.24-19-generic | 01:14 |
| Fieldy | oops. 19.36 | 01:14 |
| HollowPoint | well I'm using that exact same kernel and as far as I know it's the latest stable kernel for Kubuntu8.04, is there a specific reason you want to upgrade your kernel to something not certified as stable? | 01:15 |
| Fieldy | i thought only stable stuff is displayed, now i'm really confused. | 01:15 |
| Darkrift2 | im not an expert at compiling, but arent there more commands required besides make? the make says its configuring and installing the app... makes it sound like thats all thats needed | 01:16 |
| Fieldy | anyway no offense but i'm interested in performing this, not out of need but simple desire | 01:16 |
| HollowPoint | have you enabled a backports repository or added an extra repo for third party software ? | 01:16 |
| Fieldy | no | 01:16 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | What do I need to install to get Java in Firefox? | 01:16 |
| Darkrift2 | install java, restart firefox | 01:16 |
| HollowPoint | Darkrift2: ./configure then make then make install | 01:16 |
| Darkrift2 | !java | 01:16 |
| christoph | Have a good night an thanks a lot. Bye bye | 01:16 |
| ubottu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper | 01:16 |

| HollowPoint | lol are you timing the compile? | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | cant be bothered | 01:21 |

| HollowPoint | I miss being in the UK and having an 8MB download with no limits :'( | 01:23 |

| Fieldy | !nvidia | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | plud virginmedia have gentoo stuff on their servers :) | 01:23 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:23 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Darkrift2: Ok, does that install the stand-alone JVM and plugin at once? | 01:23 |
| Darkrift2 | dont remember | 01:24 |
| HollowPoint | yeah I know, that's where I download from when installing Gentoo, I'm in NZ so am on the opposite side of the world yet Virgin Medias servers are the fastest ones even from here | 01:24 |
| Darkrift2 | been a few weeks, but it should say on that site | 01:24 |

| ign0ramus | hey all. i just noticed that upon startup, i am loading all startup scripts twice ('setting up preliminary keymap', 'preparing restricted drivers', etc). is this a hang-on from upgrading from Gutsy? And how do i stop it? | 01:24 |
| HollowPoint | ign0ramus: have you just installed KDE4 or something? | 01:25 |
| * ActionParsnip thinks HollowPoint has got it nailed | 01:25 | |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: i did about three months ago... | 01:25 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: what do i need to uninstall to stop this? | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: kde4 startup is in ~/.kde4/share/autostart | 01:26 |
| HollowPoint | have you confirmed that your system is fully up to date? | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: kde3.5 autorun is in ~/.kde/Autorun | 01:27 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: run update && upgrade every day | 01:27 |
| HollowPoint | by this I mean you've installed the repos for KDE4 and confirmed it's updated to KDE4.1 and not KDE4.0? | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: check the scripts arent in both as they may both get executed | 01:27 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: oh, i don't know- i don't use the kde4 | 01:27 |
| * ActionParsnip uses fluxbox | 01:27 | |
| ign0ramus | ActionParsnip: i don't want any of the kde4 scripts at all... what can i safely rm? | 01:27 |
| HollowPoint | just uninstall KDE4 then and set the KDM used back to KDM instead of KDM4 | 01:27 |
| HollowPoint | !kdm | 01:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kdm | 01:28 |
| HollowPoint | grah ubottu you suck | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: cd ~/.kde4/share/Autostart | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: you can rm any stuff in there | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: id check what they are first (if there are any) | 01:28 |
| ign0ramus | ActionParsnip: no such file or directory | 01:28 |
| Walzmyn | !kde4 | 01:29 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.1.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 01:29 |
| HollowPoint | I'd be careful with that though, make sure you're using the right kdm version, if you remove the autostart stuff without setting back to kdm you may have problems | 01:29 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: what is the name of the kde4 package that i can purge? | 01:29 |
| HollowPoint | ign0ramus: what if you just do cd ~/.kde4? | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | HollowPoint: i thout the autostart was for when the user logs in, not kdm | 01:29 |
| HollowPoint | yeah it is action but I'm not all that convinced with kdm4, besides kdm is better anyway :D | 01:30 |
| ign0ramus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/46747/ | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ive not used it to such an extent to compare, i use autologin stuffs so it doesnt get much of a lookin | 01:31 |
| LinuxApe | last night | 01:31 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: can i delete the entire folder? | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ign0ramus: its in share you need to be | 01:31 |
| HollowPoint | ign0ramus: I think you can mate, but I'd still set it back to use KDM rather than KDM4 as well before rebooting | 01:31 |
| LinuxApe | last night's upgrade offered a new k3b, but when installed it now longer knows how to handle mp3's. Anyone know about this? | 01:31 |
| iss_student | How in KDE 4 can I verify I am running 4.1? | 01:32 |
| HollowPoint | when you say it no longer knows how to handle mp3s what do you mean LinuxApe? | 01:32 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: afaik, i am using kdm... how do i know for sure? | 01:32 |
| HollowPoint | iss_student: what does your login screen look like? | 01:32 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: i use persistent login | 01:32 |
| LinuxApe | You get an error about not knowing how to handle this file type | 01:32 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: haven't seen it in ages | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | LinuxApe: change your file associations | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | LinuxApe: if you run amarok and try to play an mp3 does it play ok? | 01:33 |
| HollowPoint | ign0ramus: /etc/X11/default-display-manager contains the details of which KDM you're using | 01:34 |
| holycow | i'm running kde4 in production. i would like to make sure all kde3 related stuff is completely uninstalled. | 01:34 |
| holycow | what is the best way to remove all remnants of kde3? | 01:34 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: simply says /usr/bin/kdm | 01:35 |
| HollowPoint | ign0ramus: then you're using kdm | 01:35 |
| LinuxApe | ActionParsnip: yes, amarok still plays mp3s | 01:35 |
| HollowPoint | if you were using kdm4 it would say /usr/bin/kdm4 | 01:35 |
| ign0ramus | HollowPoint: k, thanks mate | 01:35 |
| HollowPoint | holycow: you just wanting to get rid of clutter? | 01:35 |
| juan | erm i killed my install, the / is fine AFAIK but the /boot is ruined, im working of an install on a second drive how can i make the /boot boot to my old / | 01:35 |
| holycow | HollowPoint: yeah, also i want to force my self to depend on kde4 apps fully | 01:36 |
| LinuxApe | Installing the new k3b removed a k3bmp3 library, but it also installed a new k3blib3 library or something, so I thought it was just a replacement. | 01:36 |
| HollowPoint | I'd say backup your stuff, install KDE4 remix and upgrade to KDE4.1 through the repos, then you've got absolutely NO kde3 packages | 01:36 |
| holycow | i need to look at putting together some sort of reverse metapackage for this, one that tracks kde package families and removes them upon request | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | LinuxApe: then its file associations in your file manaer | 01:36 |
| HollowPoint | probably quicker than getting rid of KDE3 packages that are already installed | 01:37 |
| holycow | HollowPoint: reinstall from scratch? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | HollowPoint: compiled kerenl. im gonna jet, peace y'all | 01:37 |
| HollowPoint | I'd say it'd be worth it holycow if you're wanting to be completely dependant on kde4 | 01:37 |
| HollowPoint | safest way not to destroy your existing system | 01:37 |
| holycow | HollowPoint: isn't there a way to remove a key library from kde3 and force the dpkg to remove most of kde3 to begin with? | 01:38 |
| LinuxApe | ActionParsnip: Not sure I get your meaning. k3b uses file associations? The error message says to use another program to convert the files to wav format, but that's a pain, k3b used to do it seemlessly | 01:38 |
| HollowPoint | possibly but not one that I'm aware of. Put it this way I reckon the amount of time it would take to find out how to remove everything for KDE3 on your existing system would be double the time it would take to backup your data, re-install KDE4 remix and upgrade to KDE4.1 | 01:39 |
| HollowPoint | plus the factor of rendering your existing system useless if you make a mistake trying to remove KDE3 and end up removing both or something that KDE4 is reliant on seems a better idea to install from scratch | 01:39 |
| holycow | yeah good point | 01:40 |
| HollowPoint | LinuxApe: ActionParsnip is gone mate, his Gentoo kernel compiled so he had to go sort it | 01:40 |
| Darkrift2 | anyone seen this error and/or know how to fix it: make: git-rev-list: Command not found | 01:40 |

| Darkrift2 | mostly the error, but ive tried both | 01:43 |
| HollowPoint | hmmmmmm | 01:43 |
| Darkrift2 | im normally good at finding stuff like that on google | 01:43 |
| Darkrift2 | every forum i find with that error says they gave up on it | 01:43 |

| _2 | joshua24 sda would be the disk not a partition, while i do install linux on partitionless disks most don't. now what are you having trouble with exactly ? | 02:08 |
| _2 | joshua24 the most simple way i have found is to copy the kernel+initramfs pair to the /boot/ of the primary disk "sda" in your case and install the boot loader of choice there. | 02:09 |
| _2 | other options include letting the boot loader "bounce" to the next disk and have boot loaders on each disk. | 02:10 |
| joshua24 | 2, i getting help on arch linux, join #archlinux to hear i dont feel like retyping lol | 02:11 |
| _2 | as well as having a boot loader load all kernels from one location, while this is not the best methood. | 02:11 |
| _2 | joshua24 k. standard proceedure would then be to withdraw your question here / | 02:11 |

| pekuja | _2, I've been using Linux for 10 years and I have used FUSE in the past. fish seems a whole lot handier though | 03:32 |
| _2 | pekuja it has it's disadvantages too but generaly speaking yes it is. | 03:32 |
| pekuja | well I can imagine. how does it handle multiple clients? | 03:33 |
| geek | pekuja: different things ;p | 03:33 |
| _2 | if you try to fish a dir with more than 16k inodes in it, you'll have to find a way to externally kill the ls loop cause it just hangs. | 03:33 |

| favro | wers: Support in #kubuntu-kde4 - was the important bit | 06:11 |
| wers | thanks | 06:12 |
| favro | BuildSmart: are you trying to build a new kernel? | 06:12 |
| favro | np :) | 06:12 |
| BuildSmart | yes, I need the 2.6.26-rc5 kernel | 06:12 |
| BuildSmart | menuconfig is a little overwhelming cause I don't know half the answers to the questions. | 06:14 |
| favro | there's a good how to on the forums - I'll find it | 06:14 |
| BuildSmart | thnx. | 06:14 |
| HollowPoint | BuildSmart: I wouldn't go into kernel compiling with an attitude of "that don't require having to configure anything" lol, that's not how compiling a kernel works. if you want to compile you're own kernel then you need to know what you're doing | 06:16 |
| HollowPoint | I'd suggest installing Virtualbox on your existing machine and try installing gentoo into a virtual machine using the gentoo documentation, that'll teach you everything you need to know about compiling a kernel from sources | 06:17 |
| HollowPoint | how come you need the development kernel anyway and more than that how come you can't just install it through apt? | 06:18 |

| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 06:19 |
| matr1x | freedom isn't free, it costs a buck o five | 06:20 |
| BuildSmart | at this time to continue development I must install the development kernel, this is a one time affair, it will never have to occur again and a complete education for kernel building isn't required, an explaination into the reason the existing kernel doesn't work is functionality, all I need are the general commands to build and install the kernel with as little work on my part as possible. | 06:20 |
| BuildSmart | favro, thanks, I'll take a look at it. | 06:20 |
| favro | np :) | 06:21 |
| BuildSmart | favro, thank you but the instructions while not complicated are more involved than what I am told I need to do. I'm told that I don't have to run any XXXconfig of any kind, all tools are already installed and apparently calling some script is supposed to build the kernel, I'm not knocking linux but if this is how it has to be done I can understand why developers wish to stay away form linux. | 06:25 |
| favro | BuildSmart: it is the interface between you and some complicated hardware... | 06:27 |
| BuildSmart | the hardware is not that complicated. | 06:28 |
| BuildSmart | trust me... | 06:28 |
| favro | if you use the ubuntu kernel as a start point you only have to change the setting relevant to your issue | 06:28 |

| CoJaBo-Eee | * :/ | 06:31 |
| BuildSmart | the b43 guys want me to apply my fixes to their code since I seem to be the only one who has resolved certain issues however, it requires the devel kernel and since there doesn't seem to be a no-brainer method of installing it (which they say 2-3 commands does the trick but wont explain or provide) it seems that I wont be providing any fixes, I do wish to thank you for your time though, you have been helpful. | 06:32 |

| lostererer | it seems that the system is detecting it as a usb wifi in usb, but network section dont see it | 08:58 |
| lostererer | anyone tried wiBee ? | 08:59 |
| lostererer | usb wifi adapter? | 08:59 |
| lostererer | anyone tried compiling knetmanager? | 09:00 |
| zorglu__ | q. i got a directory on a kubuntu and would like to share it as samba, what is the easiest way ? | 09:00 |
| HollowPoint | zorglu__: you'll need to install the samba server | 09:00 |
| HollowPoint | then if you're using kubuntu 8.04 with kde3.5.9 it's as simple as going into the control center and configuring a share | 09:01 |
| zorglu__ | HollowPoint: cool this is what im running. looking at control center | 09:01 |
| NCommander | If I am a driver on a distribution on Launchpad, how can I add new releases and such so I can use the "Nominate for Release" link on bugs against our distribution? | 09:02 |
| lostererer | ubottu I believe it has a Realtek chipset in there so it is supported and the hardware came with the linux drivers and installation stuff | 09:02 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:02 |
| NCommander | er | 09:02 |
| HollowPoint | lostererer: why are you trying to compile knetmanager? Normally you should just plug the usb wifi adapter in to a USB port and Kubuntu should install the drivers for you, you may need to restart/log out and back infor changes to take effect but normally straight forward | 09:02 |

| outbackwifi | hi there | 09:36 |
| Apple_cat | su won't work because there isn't a root account to su into | 09:36 |
| Morphus | ah | 09:36 |
| outbackwifi | !root | 09:37 |
| 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 | 09:37 |
| Morphus | so sudo is for launching commands with root priveleges? | 09:37 |
| stdin | Apple_cat: erm, 'sudo -i' or 'sudo -s' or "sudo su -" all give you a root shell | 09:37 |

| favro | you had to do the dpkg -i step yes? | 10:14 |
| favro | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/ - might give some clues | 10:17 |
| BuildSmart | what is dpkg doing? | 10:18 |
| virnik | BuildSmart: dpkg is installer for deb packages | 10:19 |
| BuildSmart | ok well if the kernel has not been built then why call it ? | 10:20 |
| BuildSmart | is ubuntu not intelligent enough to build a kernel that works without any user input? | 10:21 |
| favro | BuildSmart: the way it works is you build a kernel as a package then install it with dpkg - like the howtos say | 10:22 |
| BuildSmart | here's the issue before getting that far, issue make and it tells you to run menuconfig, menuconfig expects a answers to questions that should not be asked. | 10:23 |
| BuildSmart | then after the make/make install it fails to work. | 10:24 |
| BuildSmart | you are suggesting I now resorting to another approach to install it, this makes no sense, even from a programmers perspective. | 10:24 |
| BuildSmart | it has been suggested I use "debian/rules build" and "debian/rules install" however the source does not contain these directories so the suggestions have been ignored. | 10:27 |
| BuildSmart | I would expect that in building the kernel it uses the existing kernel configuration and defaults for everything else, decoding ethernet chipsets and video cards should not occur. | 10:28 |

| favro | I think you are confusing ubuntu and linux there | 10:34 |
| * outbackwifi wonders if people even know the meaning of GIGO | 10:35 | |
| BuildSmart | I need the kernel to be configured like the initial kernel installed by ubuntu | 10:35 |
| favro | BuildSmart: ok - do you know the kernel number that was? | 10:35 |
| BuildSmart | 2.6.26-rc5 | 10:35 |
| BuildSmart | the initial kernel installed by 8.04 is 2.6.24-18 | 10:36 |
| BuildSmart | sorry -16 | 10:36 |
| favro | BuildSmart: do you have the source for that kernel so you can use its' config? | 10:40 |
| BuildSmart | source, it was an install form the CD, is it build during the install process? | 10:40 |
| BuildSmart | in /boot I see config-2.6.24-16-generic | 10:41 |
| BuildSmart | a second rebuild has been completed from start to finish (dual quad core 3ghz Xeon's) using the defaults set by "make menuconfig" there are no .deb packages created and the command "make dpkg" is invallid | 10:42 |
| BuildSmart | obviously "make install" does not perform a complete install process | 10:42 |
| favro | it seems you've missed a step or two - can you read through the steps here - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/ | 10:44 |
| BuildSmart | favvro: you keep pointing me to that doc, I have tried it, it was unsuccessful in two attempts executed (verbatim) so I've given up on it like many who have gone befor eme. | 10:46 |
| outbackwifi | like this --> makeroot make-kpkg –initrd –append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers | 10:46 |
| outbackwifi | like this --> fakeroot make-kpkg –initrd –append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers | 10:46 |
| outbackwifi | oops | 10:46 |
| BuildSmart | it was issued | 10:47 |
| outbackwifi | This process will create two .deb files in /usr/src that contain the kernel | 10:47 |
| BuildSmart | unfortunately no .deb files were created. | 10:47 |
| outbackwifi | did you get any errors? | 10:48 |
| BuildSmart | make install was issued, everything appears to be in place except for initrd.img-2.6.26-rc5 | 10:48 |
| outbackwifi | i dont see any instructions for make install there | 10:48 |
| BuildSmart | how could I tell, in a dual 3ghz quad core machine it scrolls so fast you can't read it. | 10:48 |
| outbackwifi | installation is done like this --> dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.17.14-ubuntu1-custom_2.6.17.14-ubuntu1-custom-10.00.Custom_i386.deb | 10:49 |
| outbackwifi | BuildSmart: if your make failed, it wouldve done with errors | 10:49 |
| BuildSmart | and the .deb file is supposed to be in /usr/src and it's not there. | 10:49 |
| outbackwifi | BuildSmart: no matter how fast your machine was | 10:49 |
| BuildSmart | the make does not fail with an error | 10:50 |
| BuildSmart | since no .deb is generated I issued make install. | 10:50 |
| outbackwifi | BuildSmart: did you create the symbolic link from the kernel src tree to linux? | 10:51 |
| BuildSmart | yes ln -s "linux-2.6.26-rc5 linux" | 10:51 |
| BuildSmart | yes "ln -s linux-2.6.26-rc5 linux" | 10:51 |
| outbackwifi | and when you issued that fakeroot line, everything scrolled by too fast and came back to the prompt? | 10:52 |

| BuildSmart | just started a new build so if you give it 4 minutes yes. | 10:55 |
| outbackwifi | ok | 10:55 |
| outbackwifi | the other way (common to all distributions) is to issue a make mrproper; make menuconfig; configure whatever you want; make bzImage; and then look into the arch/i386/boot/ folder for the new kernel in bzImage form | 10:56 |
| BuildSmart | I saw those instruction on another howto but didn't try them. | 10:57 |
| BuildSmart | I can interupt and try them is you recommend as a better build nmethod. | 10:58 |
| outbackwifi | make modules_install would install the modules and copying the bzImage to /boot creating initrd image and making an appropriate entry in menu.lst should enable you to boot your new kernel | 10:58 |
| outbackwifi | BuildSmart: I believe that gives you more control; building a package is great for redistribution. | 10:58 |

| RenzoreK | Anyway to have wifi connect automatically? | 11:12 |
| BuildSmart | outback, will this kernel work on any CPU or will it be specific to my machine now? | 11:13 |
| outbackwifi | icelab: you can try in #kubuntu-kde4 | 11:13 |
| outbackwifi | BuildSmart: that entirely depends on what you configured in the make menuconfig stage | 11:14 |
| BuildSmart | ok it says it's starting to build a package | 11:14 |
| BuildSmart | I accepted all the defaults. | 11:14 |
| outbackwifi | RenzoreK: knetworkmanager does automatically | 11:14 |
| outbackwifi | BuildSmart: then it must work on all x86 machines (you could run make menuconfig again to check ) | 11:15 |
| BuildSmart | what amazes me is that building the kenrel uses 20gb of disk space. | 11:15 |

| akash | PLEASE what abt my problem??? | 16:15 |
| ign0ramus | akash: if you can connect to the Internet with Konqueror, your OS has properly negotiated your connection. It's most likely a configuration error with your other browser(s) | 16:16 |
| ign0ramus | akash: were you able to acccess the internet with firefox before? | 16:17 |
| akash | No... | 16:17 |
| ofv | akash: are you connecting through a proxy? | 16:17 |
| akash | I hv also tried it 192.168.1.2:3128 but all in vain.May be port number was wrong | 16:18 |
| ign0ramus | akash: you can't connect to your router, or you can't connect to the internet? | 16:18 |
| Schuenemann | akash, wrong proxy settings? | 16:19 |
| ign0ramus | Schuenemann: that's what it's looking like... | 16:19 |
| akash | I can connect to my Router...but problem is that both the browser cannot automatically connect to INternet | 16:20 |
| ign0ramus | akash: are you able to connect without using a proxy? | 16:20 |
| akash | No... | 16:21 |
| akash | I m using Kubuntu 7.10 | 16:21 |
| ign0ramus | akash: well, you're on a wired connection. what if you took the router out of the equation- direct ethernet to the computer... | 16:22 |
| akash | The phone line is connected to DSL router | 16:23 |
| fcd | hi, does kubuntu 8.04 have and support ndiswrapper? | 16:23 |
| ign0ramus | fcd: you can use ndiswrapper in 8.04 | 16:24 |
| ign0ramus | akash: do you need to use a proxy? can you not just use a direct connection to the internet? | 16:24 |
| ign0ramus | !ndiswrapper | fcd | 16:24 |
| ubottu | fcd: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:24 |
| akash | I hv tried direct connection to Internet in both the browser.But they can't able to open any of webpage. | 16:25 |
| Schuenemann | akash, are you using a proxy or not? | 16:25 |
| akash | No | 16:26 |
| ofv | akash: In Konqueror, go to menu Settings -> Configure Konqueror, click on Proxy on the left pane and tell us what is checked on the righ pane. | 16:26 |
| akash | Konqueror : Connect to Internet Directly | 16:27 |
| ofv | akash: that means you are not using a proxy. | 16:27 |
| ign0ramus | akash: can you visit " 216.239.59.104 " in firefox? | 16:27 |
| akash | It shows Firefox cannot find server | 16:28 |
| ign0ramus | akash: i'm wondering if its an /etc/hosts issue... | 16:30 |
| akash | Shall I send u that also | 16:30 |
| ofv | akash: in Opera, see if menu File -> Work Offline is checked | 16:31 |
| akash | No | 16:31 |
| ign0ramus | akash: pastebin your /etc/hosts | 16:31 |
| akash | http://paste.ubuntu.com/46894/ | 16:32 |
| ign0ramus | akash: well, that looks fine | 16:32 |
| akash | Then wat can be issue??? | 16:33 |
| ign0ramus | akash: have you tried disabling IPv6 in Firefox? | 16:34 |
| akash | How should I do that | 16:34 |
| ign0ramus | akash: about:confg > type in 'ipv6' in filter bar > set to disable | 16:35 |
| ign0ramus | akash: then restart firefox | 16:35 |
| akash | It was already diabled | 16:36 |
| ign0ramus | akash: it says "disable" = "true"? | 16:37 |
| ign0ramus | akash: because by default, it is enabled, unless the settings were tweaked | 16:38 |
| akash | It shows status=default value=true preferencename=network.dns.disableIPV6 | 16:39 |
| jussi01 | so its enabled... | 16:39 |
| jussi01 | or? | 16:39 |
| akash | Is it enabled?? | 16:40 |
| ign0ramus | akash: in Edit > preferences > advanced > network > configure how firefox connects to the internet, what settings do you have applied? | 16:41 |
| akash | Auto detect proxy settings for this Network | 16:42 |
| ign0ramus | akash: what if you change it to "direct connection" or "no proxy" or whatever and restart firefox? | 16:42 |
| akash | Same problem.... :'( | 16:43 |
| cilkay | Hello. How can I get Kubuntu to behave the same way as Ed/Ubuntu when a CD/DVD with a Ubuntu or variant is inserted into the DVD player? In Ed/Ubuntu, I get a dialog that asks me if I want to start the addon manager, which enables me to browse the packages and install the packages of my choice. | 16:44 |
| cilkay | E.g. that's how I added many of the apps in the Ubuntu Studio distro to Ubuntu. | 16:45 |
| cilkay | ... including the rt kernel | 16:45 |
| akash | Well ....thanks for your interest.It seems I have to use Konqueror only . :-( | 16:51 |
| akash | Can U tell me which port does router use to connect to Internet.May be I can connect via proxy | 16:52 |
| ign0ramus | akash: port 80 is http and port 443 is https, but i don't think this is going to help your problem | 16:55 |
| ign0ramus | akash: i think you have an improper configuration, either within your router or with your system | 16:55 |
| akash | YOu are right...nothing happens... | 16:58 |
| ign0ramus | akash: when did you install kubuntu? | 16:58 |
| akash | REcently,I have ordered Kubuntu CD.Though I have got it on February.I hv installed it in previous month | 16:59 |
| ign0ramus | akash: Can you access internet with firefox using the livecd? | 17:00 |
| akash | I hv downloaded firefox...it was not available on LiveCD | 17:01 |
| ign0ramus | akash: i thought it was, but either way, if you install firefox using the livecd, can you connect? I would suspect you could, which means there is something wrong with your network settings | 17:02 |
| akash | HOw does I check wether it was available on LiveCD?? | 17:02 |
| ign0ramus | akash: i mean if you can't, then its probably a problem with your network settings (most likely the router) | 17:02 |
| ign0ramus | akash: boot to the livecd, check to see if firefox is a program under "internet"; if not, then install it. | 17:03 |
| akash | Wat bt Konqueror? | 17:03 |
| ign0ramus | akash: wat bt it? | 17:03 |
| akash | Ok i m checking....Another problem is abt Konqueror. I cannot able to send scrap form Orkut,though i hv enabled Javascript | 17:05 |
| ign0ramus | akash: do you have Java installed? | 17:05 |
| akash | Yup | 17:05 |
| ign0ramus | akash: that could be a lot of things, and i know nothing about Orkut... lets try to fix one thing at a time | 17:06 |

| ign0ramus | alper: stupid question - you do have wireless enabled in Knetworkmanager, and you do have your wireless turned on on the computer, right? | 17:18 |
| Nakkel | icelab: I mean http://www.kubuntu.org, it renders wrong the download link area. Text is too big and the buttons are not clickable. | 17:18 |
| alper | I have the wireless light on | 17:19 |
| alper | I have another notebook using the network now | 17:19 |
| icelab | try to change the monitor definition | 17:19 |
| ign0ramus | alper: and on this computer, Knetworkmanager > Options > Enable Wireless is active, right? | 17:20 |
| alper | yes it's on | 17:20 |
| ign0ramus | icelab: have you checked it in Konqueror? i get the same thing | 17:20 |
| ign0ramus | alper: ok, let me know when you've removed the encryption | 17:20 |
| Nakkel | icelab: Every other site works just fine, and the rest of the kubuntu.org site is also fine. Only the download buttons are messed up. | 17:22 |
| ign0ramus | Nakkel: confirmed. i don't know why it's like that | 17:22 |
| alper | I turned it off | 17:22 |
| darrell | hello | 17:22 |
| ign0ramus | alper: ok, exit knetworkmanager, and restart it | 17:23 |
| alper | ign0ramus: I restarted | 17:24 |
| ign0ramus | alper: ok, upon right clicking, can you "Connect to other wireless network"? | 17:24 |
| alper | ok I did do you want me to fill in t he info | 17:25 |
| ign0ramus | alper: yup, and make sure you have the proper card listed for 'device' | 17:25 |
| ign0ramus | alper: all you should need is your SSID to connect | 17:26 |
| alper | well it says unknown unknown (wlan0) that is the only option | 17:26 |
| ign0ramus | alper: hmmm.. that would be a problem. for some reason, knetworkmanager is not using your card. | 17:26 |
| ign0ramus | alper: what kind of wireless card do you have? | 17:28 |
| alper | broadcom bcm4318 | 17:28 |
| ign0ramus | do you have sthe b43-fwcutter driver installed? | 17:29 |

| sridhar | hi need help with opening a pdf in ubuntu had downloaded the file thru Azureus | 17:32 |
| ign0ramus | !pdf | sridhar | 17:32 |
| ubottu | sridhar: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 17:32 |
| alper | yes its installed | 17:33 |
| ign0ramus | alper: ok...... | 17:33 |
| sridhar | ubottu : dont have adobe reader or the others! | 17:33 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:33 |
| ign0ramus | sridhar: that's why you install them. There are four different programs listed. just pick one. | 17:34 |
| ign0ramus | alper: did your card work out of the box before? | 17:34 |
| ign0ramus | alper: or did you have to use ndiswrapper and a windows driver? | 17:34 |
| edju | I removed/purged screenlets. Now, upon startuo of kde, I get a msg that kdeinit could not find screenlets-daemon.py. Of course not! From where is kde looking for that file? | 17:34 |
| alper | I was using b43 to use it in fact it was working smoothly last night | 17:35 |
| alper | by the way I never used ndiswrapper | 17:35 |
| ign0ramus | alper: perhaps a reboot in recovery mode will restart your knetworkmanager to recognize your card. it sounds stupid, but it has worked for me in the past... | 17:36 |
| ign0ramus | edju: /usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-daemon.py | 17:36 |
| ign0ramus | edju: or you can restart with an empty session, and the message should go away | 17:37 |
| alper | ok I will try that if it doesnt work I will back thanks for the help | 17:37 |
| constrictor | is there a way to integrate my google calendar with KDE pim | 17:39 |
| edju | ign0ramus, screenlets-daemon.py is long gone. I still get the error. I don't know what in kde is looking for it. | 17:40 |
| ign0ramus | constrictor: http://www.chipbennett.net/wordpress/index.php/2008/06/how-to-synchronize-kde-pim-with-google-calendar/ | 17:40 |
| ign0ramus | edju: check in /home/user/.kde/Autostart - are there any screenlet scripts in there? | 17:41 |
| ign0ramus | alper: any luck? | 17:41 |
| icelab | hi, is it possible reconfigure konqueror | 17:41 |
| alper | nope still the same | 17:41 |
| ign0ramus | alper: the only other thing i can think of is to try wicd instead of knetworkmanager... | 17:42 |
| icelab | i have "work" in plugin konfigure area and now i have delete all plugin andress | 17:42 |
| alper | can I apt-get it | 17:42 |
| ign0ramus | alper: yup | 17:42 |
| ign0ramus | alper: it will remove knewtworkmanager, but you can always reinstall (not like it's helping anyway...) | 17:42 |
| alper | ign0ramus: do I have to add any repository to be able to install it because it says coulndt find the package | 17:44 |
| ign0ramus | alper: wait, i think you need to have the wicd repo first | 17:44 |
| ign0ramus | :) | 17:44 |
| alper | :) | 17:44 |
| edju | ign0ramus, Uhh, well - yes, that was it. But I mean, who'd have thought to look in Autostart to find things that autostart? Thanks. | 17:45 |
| ign0ramus | alper: 'sudo kedit /etc/apt/sources.list' | 17:45 |
| ign0ramus | edju: np. glad you got it sorted out! | 17:45 |
| ign0ramus | alper: add 'deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras' at the bottom | 17:45 |
| sridhar | is there an adobe reader for 64-bit | 17:46 |
| ign0ramus | alper: save file and close. then 'sudo apt-get update' | 17:46 |

| sridhar | heard there is some 7up application not sure if it works on ubuntu on a 64-bit processor | 17:49 |
| ign0ramus | sridhar: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu? | 17:50 |

| === axel is now known as Satorau | ||

| ign0ramus | sridhar: p7zip is good, as is unrar... but you'd be better off in #ubuntu | 17:53 |

| icelab | hi, someone can help me?? | 17:56 |
| cilkay | How do I install the HTML and CSS docs for kdewebdev using apt? I didn't see any likely installation candidates. | 17:56 |
| cilkay | More correctly, I'm looking for the documentation *for* HTML and CSS. | 17:56 |
| ign0ramus | cilkay: if you use 'aptitude', it's better at naming likely candidates | 17:56 |
| cilkay | I'm not even sure what to look for though. | 17:57 |
| ign0ramus | cilkay: i'm not sure what you need, either, but see if this helps: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdewebdev/4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1 | 17:58 |
| cilkay | I guess I'll just have to install the docs using the tarball because they aren't packaged in kdewebdev. | 18:04 |
| === denis_ is now known as Live | ||
| ign0ramus | cilkay: that's kind of dumb, but at least you found them | 18:05 |
| asiyan | ign0ramus: I cant get connected wıth WICD either | 18:05 |
| === Live is now known as LiveToWin | ||
| cilkay | The docs are accessible from within Quanta so they're not an external package. | 18:05 |
| ign0ramus | asiyan: it does not recognize your card either? | 18:05 |
| asiyan | no luck | 18:06 |

| === speranza_ is now known as mtsu-Kevin | ||

| ign0ramus | asiyan: but you're saying you had full wireless yesterday with your upgrade to 8.04.1? | 18:08 |
| ign0ramus | brb | 18:09 |
| cilkay | I wish I could just hide the "documentation" button in Quanta. The docs seem to be old an unmaintained. E.g. PHP, not that I care about it, is stuck back in PHP4. | 18:09 |
| === tg_ is now known as Specialist | ||
| asiyan | I was using 8.04.1 yesterday too but suddenly this thing happened today and early afternoon I reinstalled | 18:10 |
| === Specialist is now known as Specialist79 | ||
| cilkay | I just don't want the users clicking on the "Documentation" button and getting confused when none of the links to the docs work. | 18:10 |
| ign0ramus | asiyan: i don't know what else to tell you... it seems like an issue with the distro not recognizing the card, which is weird, especially if it did yesterday | 18:11 |

| === frederik_ is now known as herbaliser | ||
| m_tadeu | jussi01: thanks :) | 18:26 |
| herbaliser | how do i change login manager in kubuntu | 18:26 |
| DarkriftX | ever since I installed my nvidia restricted drivers, I cannot change tty or "logout" to command line because I get resolution problems. is there something I need to change to fix this? | 18:27 |
| KRF | herbaliser, i think its `dpkg-reconfigure xdm` | 18:27 |
| KRF | herbaliser, i think its `dpkg-reconfigure kdm` | 18:27 |
| KRF | no. meh | 18:28 |
| LeeJunFan | herbaliser: you need to edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager to point to the display manager you want to use. | 18:28 |
| LeeJunFan | oh, or what KRF said. | 18:29 |
| herbaliser | and the spalsh screen? | 18:29 |
| herbaliser | don't seem to find it in kcontrol | 18:29 |
| LeeJunFan | not sure about the splash. I normally just disable that. | 18:29 |
| KRF | herbaliser, thats in appearance | 18:29 |
| Schuenemann | which splash? | 18:29 |
| LeeJunFan | I like to see what my system is doing. | 18:29 |
| KRF | kcontrol -> appearance -> splash theme or somthing | 18:30 |
| LeeJunFan | right, the boot splash is different than the login splash, the login one can be changed in appearance. | 18:30 |
| KRF | oh | 18:30 |
| Schuenemann | where do you change login appearance? | 18:30 |
| LeeJunFan | seems I saw something on getdeb to change the bootsplash | 18:30 |
| Schuenemann | it's startupmanager | 18:31 |
| Schuenemann | here: http://hacktivision.com/index.php/2008/01/24/how-to-customize-grub-in-ubuntu?blog=2 | 18:31 |
| Schuenemann | LeeJunFan, where is that option for changing login appearance? | 18:31 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and it's not in getdeb, it's in the repos | 18:32 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !info startupmanager | 18:32 |
| ubottu | startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.11-1~hardy1 (hardy), package size 88 kB, installed size 1016 kB | 18:32 |
| LeeJunFan | Schuenemann: you mean the appearance of the login screen or the splash screen that shows while KDE is loading? | 18:32 |
| Schuenemann | the login screen | 18:32 |
| Schuenemann | that splash I remove, it sucks IMO | 18:32 |
| LeeJunFan | Schuenemann: that's under system settings, advanced tab, login manager | 18:32 |
| herbaliser | ok thanks | 18:33 |
| Schuenemann | LeeJunFan, but Gutsy had something that I could its style I don't find there. There was one with a hand and fingerprints | 18:33 |
| DarkriftX | !nvidia | 18:33 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:33 |
| Schuenemann | there I only see wallpapers, messages and related | 18:34 |
| LeeJunFan | Schuenemann: not sure about that. I normally don't mess with mine. As I rarely ever see the login screen I don't care what it looks like. :) | 18:34 |
| Schuenemann | LeeJunFan, why do you rarely see it? You don't turn your computer off? | 18:34 |
| LeeJunFan | right now I'm using the default oxygen theme on kde4. | 18:34 |
| LeeJunFan | Schuenemann: no, I have a laptop that's either suspended to RAM or in use. | 18:35 |
| ign0ramus|afk|nf | Schuenemann: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/login-scan+%27splash%27?content=26888 | 18:35 |
| Schuenemann | ign0ramus|afk|nf, where do I change that? | 18:35 |
| Schuenemann | I can't find it in kcontrol | 18:35 |
| ign0ramus|afk|nf | Schuenemann: brb | 18:36 |
| Schuenemann | going away right now =/ | 18:36 |
| LeeJunFan | It should be under system administration->login manager | 18:37 |
| Schuenemann | I wonder where they're hiding that option | 18:37 |
| LeeJunFan | nevermind, kde3.5 doesn't have the ability to do themes from there. | 18:38 |
| LeeJunFan | you can in kde4 | 18:38 |
| Schuenemann | LeeJunFan, well, I could somewhere with gutsy | 18:38 |
| EagleSn | do u want ot change kdm theme? | 18:38 |
| Schuenemann | kdm theme is for the whole KDE, no? | 18:39 |
| Schuenemann | I wanted to change the login screen appearance | 18:39 |
| LeeJunFan | no, just for login. | 18:39 |
| EagleSn | you have a package called kdmtheme, install it and you will find the option in kcontrol | 18:40 |
| Schuenemann | EagleSn, was that default installed with gutsy? | 18:40 |
| EagleSn | i think it is not installed by default, i am not sure | 18:40 |
| EagleSn | chekc in with some package manager as like as Adept or Synaptic | 18:41 |
| Schuenemann | I installed... where is it supposed to be now? | 18:41 |
| EagleSn | let me see... | 18:41 |
| Schuenemann | found it | 18:42 |
| Schuenemann | it's under appearance | 18:42 |
| EagleSn | correctç | 18:43 |
| DarkriftX | ever since I installed my nvidia restricted drivers, I cannot change tty or "logout" to command line because I get resolution problems. is there something I need to change to fix this? I just tried to install the newest nvidia-glx-new but says its already latest. | 18:43 |
| Schuenemann | EagleSn, there are only 3, though. And 2 are the same :-) | 18:43 |
| Schuenemann | EagleSn, thanks | 18:44 |
| EagleSn | yes, you can obtain new themes by installing it from package manager (if any) or downloading from kde-look website | 18:44 |
| === svetoslav is now known as Zvezdichko | ||

| VousDeux | hello: I was going through my routine of draining and recharging my battery. The battery was almost dead, so I plugged it back in. At that moment the session I was working in said that I had locked it...even though I did not. Now it won't accept my password. I have logged into a different session, but I can't seem to get back into my original session. | 19:45 |
| x86 | see it on some torrent sites but torrents scare me | 19:45 |

| VousDeux | I would like to gracefully exit applications that are running in session:0 | 19:46 |
| x86 | VousDeux: if you could hijack it and set it's display environment variable to a remote (localbox:0) X server, maybe | 19:46 |
| x86 | VousDeux: or put root username and pass? perhaps that would unlock it | 19:46 |

| chris_____ | i want to boot one install of ubuntu from 2 different computers. is there a way to create sth like "hardware profiles" so i dont have to reinstall hardware after changing the computer? | 22:31 |
| lanoxx_ | chris_____ uhm is this a onetime move? or do you mean you switch drives frequently? | 22:34 |
| chris_____ | switch computers frequently, same drive | 22:34 |
| lanoxx_ | if you use a genkernel it should be no problem i think | 22:34 |
| lanoxx_ | but im not sure | 22:35 |
| chris_____ | a genkernel? | 22:35 |
| chris_____ | hmm | 22:35 |
| chris_____ | i'll read up on it. thanks! | 22:35 |
| lanoxx_ | afaik ubuntu uses generic kernel, that means every drivers is compiled as a module and is just loaded when needed | 22:36 |
| lanoxx_ | so unlike windows you can boot linux from any computer you like | 22:36 |
| lanoxx_ | at least in theory, practically you would have to try it and see if it works | 22:36 |
| chris_____ | well.. it doesnt. it "forgets" my graphics driver and setup | 22:37 |
| lanoxx_ | ah | 22:37 |
| lanoxx_ | yes | 22:37 |
| lanoxx_ | if you use a different graphic card you might need another xorg config | 22:38 |
| paolo_ | hi. where can i check if an ethernet wifi usb adapter is fully compatible with kubuntu ? | 22:38 |
| chris_____ | one is actually a virtual machine, so theres a few other addons i need | 22:38 |
| maennj | hello guys | 22:40 |
| lanoxx_ | hmm, im not sure how to do this, but you might be able to write a script to check how you boot and load anoter xorg.conf | 22:41 |
| lanoxx_ | but im not sure, since graphic configuration is not part of the kernel this is a bit tricky | 22:41 |
| chris_____ | maybe i could just use 2 separate kernels and select them before boot? | 22:42 |
| lanoxx_ | no, its not a kernel thing, its you xorg.conf | 22:42 |
| maennj | guys, I destroyed 4 cds trying to burn intrepid alpha 5. but each time it I try to boot, the boot menu comes up but when I try to run kubuntu live, the computer just freezes | 22:43 |
| ofv | chris_____: the X Windowing system is unrelated to the Linux kernel. | 22:43 |
| maennj | anyone know how to fix this problem ? | 22:44 |
| chris_____ | ofv: the vbox addons appear to be recompiling kernel modules. thats why i thought | 22:44 |
| maennj | and when I run umenu.exe from windows it says invalid cd detected | 22:45 |
| ofv | maennj: have you checked the md5sum of the iso file you downloaded? | 22:45 |
| lanoxx_ | with what kernel options do i have to boot kubuntu | 22:46 |
| lanoxx_ | ? | 22:46 |
| lanoxx_ | i didnt install a bootloader in the first place | 22:46 |
| ubuntu | hi. I am running Alpha 5 live cd right now, and just ran all the updates. If i do an install, will these updates be active, or will i have to run them all again? | 22:46 |
| maennj | ofv: I'm going to now, but I thought that the file is ok because I was able to boot the iso file using virtual machine | 22:46 |
| maennj | lanoxx_ default options | 22:47 |
| maennj | lanoxx_ not sure if u meant me by that quesiton :) | 22:47 |
| lanoxx_ | maennj: i belive that i have to set some kernel options, just dont know which | 22:49 |
| maennj | lanoxx_: I tried to turn all options off | 22:49 |
| maennj | can someone give me md5 has for intrepid-desktop-i386.iso (alpha5) something wrong cdimage.ubuntu.com I can't open it | 22:52 |
| maennj | hash* | 22:52 |
| ofv | maennj: it works fine for me. In which directory is the cd image? | 22:55 |
| maennj | you mean in which directory in the cd ? | 22:56 |
| ofv | found it: 81a5c425f5b004a7e24b8be15f925371 *intrepid-desktop-i386.iso | 22:56 |
| maennj | aah ok, my file is corrupted . thx | 22:57 |
| maennj | weird thing I was able to boot using the iso file directly from virtual machine | 22:57 |
| maennj | but when I emulate the iso file into cd, it says invalid cd detected, so I guess something is wrong | 22:57 |
| ofv | maennj: do you mean it worked on a virtual machine but not on a real one? | 22:58 |
| maennj | yea when I make the virtual machine boots the iso file as cd it works | 22:58 |
| maennj | but after I burn it, then try to boot the virtual machine with the real cd it doesn't work | 22:59 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Hello. | 22:59 |
| maennj | it doesn't work when I boot the real cd on the real machine either | 22:59 |
| ofv | that's very extrange. If the cd image is corrupted, it shouldn't work on the virtual machine either. | 22:59 |
| maennj | yea weird, I couldn't run umenu.exe too | 23:00 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Also weird is that Kubuntu is handling connecting to Windows shared files better than Windows Vista itself lol | 23:01 |
| Carla1989 | I understand that kubuntu install cd can let me work on a 'usable" desktop - I guess for read write access. Is it possible to somehow run PC Doctor or Memory Test on my laptop? | 23:01 |
| LeeJunFan | hi Carla1989 - you should be able to run memtest | 23:02 |
| LeeJunFan | your HD check out okay? I take it you didn't get the system installed... | 23:02 |
| Carla1989 | Hello LeeJunFan. I am afraid the problems from yday are still at the same point. BadBlocks Test completed without errors. But when I tried installing kubuntu afterwards, it stopped at 79% and gave me same error reported at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810453 | 23:03 |
| maennj | k guys thx for help I guess I'm gonna redownload to make sure | 23:04 |
| maennj | exit | 23:04 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: The install CD was not faulty, I got it re-written from another brand new laptop using imageburn s/w. | 23:04 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: did you verify the disc burned w/o errors? | 23:04 |
| LeeJunFan | okay. | 23:04 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJuFan: yes | 23:04 |
| Carla1989 | sry LeeJunFan: Yes. | 23:05 |
| LeeJunFan | Did you verify from within the installer? | 23:05 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Hmm. No not last time. | 23:05 |
| Carla1989 | I can quickly do that right now. | 23:05 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: or did you just verify from imageburn. If you have a corrupt iso download then imageburn will say it's okay. Might want to try from the CD, and see what it says. | 23:05 |
| LeeJunFan | bbiab. | 23:05 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: ImageBurn verified the CD. And I am running the defects check within the installer. | 23:07 |

| DarkriftX | anyone here use dosbox? | 23:09 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: No errors found in the installer CD. | 23:12 |
| DarkShinigami | Hello all. | 23:17 |
| DarkShinigami | Every once in a while, Yahoo does not connect. I get the error message "Error 1 - Name Lookup Has Failed". How can I correct this? | 23:17 |
| DarkShinigami | Sorry. Forgot to mention. I am using Kopete | 23:18 |

| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: have you tried any other linux distros? | 23:31 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: at what point did it fail? after you've done partitioning? | 23:31 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Yes, I finished partitioning and few minutes after that. | 23:34 |
| mn | Anyone here know of a good .iso burner for linux systems? | 23:34 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: I am trying to find some command (like badblocks) to check for CD/DVD drive errors on kubuntu | 23:34 |
| SebNaitsabes | mn: yes K3B :) | 23:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | mn: you should have that as part of Kubuntu in fact | 23:36 |
| mn | Oh ok. where could I find it? | 23:36 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: if the CD verified then that's not the problem, that proves it can read from your CD fine. | 23:36 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: If CD/DVD Drive is okay, and HDD has no errors, what does that error mean? | 23:37 |
| Carla1989 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810453 - this one | 23:37 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: hard to say, would need to know what file it couldn't copy I guess. As I'm not familiar with the GUI installer I don't know if there's a way to get details during install as to what file was copying. | 23:39 |
| LeeJunFan | It may be laptops specific, you might want to search for your laptop model in conjunction with the error. | 23:39 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Where can I find such a person? | 23:39 |
| Carla1989 | Ah, if kubuntu installer is not able to copy a file, I would first check what file it is. This information alone could give us more insight | 23:40 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: I am back again on the usable desktop | 23:42 |
| Carla1989 | :( | 23:42 |
| Sixzero | I'm having trouble trying to setup a home network between two Kubuntu boxes. The system won't let me create new folders or move items in my Samba share, nor does Zeroconf seem to work properly. | 23:44 |
| atomizer | hi all | 23:44 |
| Sixzero | hi | 23:45 |
| atomizer | i wanna ask a simple question about 32Bit and 64Bit versions of kubuntu | 23:46 |
| ofv | Sixzero: I've fixed the freeze problem when I logout from KDE. | 23:46 |
| ofv | Sixzero: the problem was atieventsd | 23:46 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Is there some utility like PC Doctor in Kubuntu? | 23:47 |
| atomizer | i have an Intel Quad Q8800... do you suggest i use the 32bit or the 64 bit version? and why? | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | atomizer, totally depends on the tasks you will be doing.. | 23:47 |
| atomizer | audio mixing/recording | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | Or ifyou got more then 4gb of ram and want to use/see all the ram | 23:47 |
| atomizer | and possibly game creation and image creation | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | You might gain a little speed in encoding files with 64bit. | 23:48 |
| atomizer | no, i have 2GB at the mo, upgrading to 4GB on tuesday | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | But for most people - 64bit is not needed. | 23:48 |
| Sixzero | ofv: good deal. what was atieventsd doing to cause the freeze? | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | OVER 4gb.. you would want to use 64bit.. | 23:48 |
| ofv | I don't know. But the machine seems to work okay without it. | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | I never use 64bit. so i dont know what issues remain for 64bit Linux at this time. | 23:49 |
| dr_willis | Used to be flash/java/video drivers - where issues.. but i think a lot of thiose have been fixed now. | 23:49 |
| atomizer | yeh thats something else i was thinking, will 64bit have any more problems | 23:49 |
| atomizer | yeh | 23:49 |
| Sixzero | ofv: Lets hope it stays that way :) | 23:50 |
| ofv | Sixzero: I remember you had the same problem. Or do you fixed it already? | 23:50 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: if you run memtest for a while w/o an error then that should take care of it as we've verified the HDD and CD are working, the only things really left in the scheme of things are CPU and memory. I highly doubt that to be the problem though. | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | ive had memory 'slots' on MB's be bad also... | 23:51 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Can you please tell me the command to run memtest | 23:51 |
| Sixzero | ofv: I had that problem logging out of KDE4, but I've just tried avoiding it altogether for the time being. I played around with it for a bit today, but it's still too buggy for my tastes. | 23:51 |
| Carla1989 | !memtest | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about memtest | 23:51 |
| LeeJunFan | !info memtest | 23:51 |
| Carla1989 | duh | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Package memtest does not exist in hardy | 23:51 |
| LeeJunFan | wth. | 23:52 |
| Carla1989 | oh no! | 23:52 |
| LeeJunFan | !info memtest86+ | 23:52 |
| ubottu | memtest86+ (source: memtest86+): thorough real-mode memory tester. In component main, is standard. Version 1.70-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 63 kB, installed size 228 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 lpia) | 23:52 |
| Sixzero | ofv: but ever since I got a working set of ati drivers going, I haven't had a real bad problem since. | 23:52 |
| Sixzero | !zeroconf | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about zeroconf | 23:53 |
| Sixzero | !samba | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:53 |
| LeeJunFan | I really wish I had more experience with the normal live installer Carla1989, but my guess is memtest might be a boot option or it's already on the CD and you may just be able to run it from konsole. | 23:53 |
| ofv | Sixzero: okay. Here is the page that solved my problem: | 23:53 |
| ofv | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Troubleshooting | 23:53 |
| ofv | and specifically "System lockup on logout with catalyst 8.01" | 23:54 |
| Carla1989 | Yes, I can uderstand LeeJunFan. I am trying on this end too. :) | 23:54 |
| atomizer | kubuntu 7.10 livecd had memtest as an option in the boot menu when you booted with the livecd | 23:54 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: well, no you have to boot into memtest. | 23:54 |
| atomizer | yeh i meant, when you turn the pc on | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | Gee does that mean Memtest is its own OS? :) | 23:55 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: And how do I do that? | 23:55 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: so it either needs to be on a floppy (which if I recall you don't have) or on CD. | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | Most Live cd's these days have a Memtest option | 23:55 |
| atomizer | lol no... im just saying O:) | 23:55 |
| === lost is now known as merolt | ||
| LeeJunFan | yeah, Carla1989 I imagine there's a way to boot into memtest. | 23:55 |
| Carla1989 | Let me try restart the PC. | 23:56 |
| merolt | buona sera ho un problema con virtualbox | 23:56 |
| merolt | non si apre piu | 23:56 |
| merolt | qualcuno sa come fare | 23:56 |
| merolt | ? | 23:56 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: if not you can download an iso from here and burn it: http://www.memtest86.com/download.html | 23:56 |
| atomizer | just so you know, im still a bit of a novice with linux.. aint really used it much...mainly due to hardly ever getting the internet working with wireless usb adapters | 23:56 |
| LeeJunFan | !es | merolt | 23:57 |
| ubottu | merolt: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | Thats why i run cables :) | 23:57 |
| atomizer | yeh but i cant in this place lol | 23:57 |
| atomizer | i would if i could, serisouly | 23:57 |
| atomizer | seriously* | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | I found 100ft cat6 for $12 the other day. | 23:57 |
| etfb | Does anyone have any experience using kvpnc to connect to a Windows network? I'm beginning to think the software itself is broken. | 23:58 |
| atomizer | yeh, but i've then gotta run that all round the house ¬_¬ | 23:58 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: There's no option to memtest86+ in the main menu | 23:58 |
| atomizer | plus its not my house lol | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | I got every room wired.. :) i even got cat6 in the 'reading/mens library' In the basement. :) | 23:58 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: hrm, try downloading that iso I posted a link to above. | 23:58 |
| atomizer | lol once i get my own place, i'll be doing exactly the same | 23:58 |
| Carla1989 | 1. Try kubuntu without any change 2. Install Kubuntu 3. Check CD for defects 4. Test Memory 5. Boot from first Hard Disk | 23:59 |
| dr_willis | Slowly Updating to Gigabit networking parts. | 23:59 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: this is a PITA isn't it? Seriously, problems like this are fairly rare. | 23:59 |
| Carla1989 | Is option 4 we are talking about? | 23:59 |
| atomizer | yeh carla1989 | 23:59 |
