| Carla1989 | I completed two passes for this test yesterday, no errors. Didn't complete it fully though. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Carla1989 | After a long wait of over an hour, it was going to scan the third time .. | 00:01 |
| atomizer | has anyone had any success installing a Netgear WG111v3 wireless usb adapter? | 00:02 |
| wesley_ | is there a way to start network-manger-gnome in kde ? | 00:02 |
| etfb | wesley_: Something about nm_applet, I think. Google it. | 00:03 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: There should be some channel, providing specialized technical support. :) | 00:03 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: well then it's probably fine. If there's a problem it'll normally find it on the first pass. | 00:03 |
| wesley_ | etfb the thing is it seems the gnome one does connect with wifi in 8.10 and the kde not | 00:04 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: So what's the next step for me. I have to send this laptop for servicing and it'll take about 2-3 weeks for it to come back. That is the only reason I had to find out my oldie laptop and get it fixed so that I can not be left in a desert. | 00:05 |
| etfb | wesley_: "the gnome one"? What do you mean? | 00:05 |
| wesley_ | the gnome fronted of network-manager | 00:05 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: I'm not at all convinced it's the hardware. | 00:06 |
| etfb | wesley_: Oh, OK. So what's not working? I can use wifi perfectly well with knetworkmanager, although getting VPN to work has been impossible so far. | 00:06 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: gimme a min, I'm booting the install CD in a virtual machine right now to see what options are available to see what's being done when it fails. | 00:06 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Oh, Is there a way to format my HD while I am on the usable desktop? | 00:06 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Nice. | 00:07 |
| wesley_ | etfb you use kubuntu 8.10 alpha 5 ? | 00:08 |
| etfb | wesley_: Oh, sorry, misread. No, I'm on Hardy. So is it stuffing up on Intrepid, is it? Bugger! | 00:08 |
| etfb | wesley_: The gnome network manage is apparently part of some set of Gnome applets, and I'm pretty sure the command to get it working is nmapplet or nm-applet or something like that. | 00:10 |
| etfb | Used to have to use it before they fixed the problem with configuring VPNs in KDE. | 00:10 |
| tim_ | hello, I have 2 hdds, 1 for kubuntu and I mounted the other as kbackup. After reinstalling kubuntu and remounting the 2nd hdd, there appears to be no files, eventhough I did not format that drive. Any ideas? | 00:10 |
| etfb | (Except, of course, that it's not all that fixed, since kvpnc has never worked for me. Maybe I should go back to the old way...) | 00:10 |
| atomizer | im off now, bye bye | 00:11 |
| etfb | tim_: Can you access the complete backup copies you made of the second drive? | 00:11 |
| tim_ | yes, I have an extra backup on an external usb. | 00:12 |
| wesley_ | etfb so its not a app that i can run freely in kde4 | 00:12 |
| etfb | No, you can - you just have to trigger it via this appletty thing. Hang on, I'll find the command... | 00:13 |
| ForgeAus | are they going to have a kde4 update on the main ubuntu servers? | 00:13 |
| ForgeAus | even if its proposed or backports or whatever.. | 00:13 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: This time I am trying to install within the usable desktop only. And the other change this time is, I am going with the Guided partitioning of 2 partitions each for Ubuntu 8.04 and Kubuntu 8.04 | 00:14 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: Let's see if it can partition the drive | 00:14 |
| ForgeAus | Carla, kubuntu-desktop is the only metapackage you need... it will install all you need of kde | 00:15 |
| Carla1989 | ForgeAus, that was too techy for me | 00:16 |
| LeeJunFan | ForgeAus: Carla1989 is having a problem even completing installation. | 00:16 |
| LeeJunFan | he was on a different train of thought. | 00:16 |
| etfb | wesley_: install network-manager-gnome and nm-applet, then run nm-applet to open the manager. Dunno why it works, but it does. | 00:16 |
| ForgeAus | ohhh kay... | 00:16 |
| ForgeAus | liveCD's are easier | 00:17 |
| Carla1989 | LeeJunFan: The status bar hasn't moved from 0% for the last few minutes. | 00:17 |
| etfb | wesley_: But this is old news - Edgy or before. May not still work with the bleeding-edge betas. Good luck! | 00:17 |
| ForgeAus | hehe probably best if you install 2x kubuntu liveCD's then pure gnome/ubuntu-desktop-ize the other :) | 00:17 |
| Carla1989 | Oh! Another error! "Resize operation failure. An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." | 00:18 |
| ForgeAus | Carla is there any data on the partitions you need/want to keep? | 00:19 |
| Carla1989 | No doubt, this is the same error failing installation | 00:19 |
| Carla1989 | No | 00:19 |
| ForgeAus | I don't recommend resizing if you can avoid it | 00:19 |
| ForgeAus | better to create whole new partitions | 00:19 |
| Carla1989 | I thought I was trying to do the same | 00:20 |
| ForgeAus | (2x ext3 and 1x small swap) | 00:20 |
| Carla1989 | by resizing one larger partition into two smaller partitions | 00:20 |
| LeeJunFan | brb | 00:21 |
| sevenseeke1 | hello, I am trying to set my fqdn but can't figure out how. I first tried with the network settings gui, then with an alias in /etc/hosts and finally with /etc/hostname but nothing seems to work when I type 'hostname -f' | 00:23 |
| sevenseeke1 | do I have to restart network services? | 00:23 |
| sevenseeke1 | oh, btw this is kubuntu hardy 8.04 | 00:24 |
| ForgeAus | no Carla | 00:24 |
| ForgeAus | you don't resize you remove them all and create them to the size you want | 00:25 |
| ForgeAus | no need to resize that way | 00:25 |
| ForgeAus | so in your head round down how large your hard drive is (say its 160 gig, round it down to say 150, then make 1 75gig partition, and another 75gig partition and whatevers left over goes into a swap partition | 00:26 |
| Carla1989 | Okay, this time I went with the second option of Guided Partitioning for one entire partition. It's has scanned the filesystems, created EXT3.. and now Copying the files over | 00:27 |
| Carla1989 | 27% done.. abd waiting | 00:27 |
| ForgeAus | ohh kay | 00:27 |
| ForgeAus | this means you only have one whole disk | 00:27 |
| LeeJunFan | not going with swap? | 00:28 |
| ForgeAus | no space for the second partition to put the other ubuntu (or kubuntu) on | 00:28 |
| Carla1989 | I hardly care.. I just need this laptop to work. | 00:28 |
| ForgeAus | ok Carla your the user... you seem to know what you want | 00:28 |
| ForgeAus | but I must say I do recommend having a swap partition | 00:29 |
| Carla1989 | Oh Yes, I forgot to mention it. It did create swap automatically this time.. and yes the other point, It formatted the entire HD before doing anything. | 00:29 |
| Carla1989 | 42% done. :) | 00:29 |
| ForgeAus | Carla its meant to format that installer does that | 00:29 |
| ForgeAus | so that you have a brand clan spankin new Kubuntu install each time | 00:29 |
| Carla1989 | Yes, I am happy. When I was trying manual install, it could not even pass formatting stage. | 00:30 |
| ForgeAus | Carla, I think you could, you just needed to understand it a little more... | 00:30 |
| ForgeAus | but when these things are new I can understand how easy it is to get overwhelmed by them I remember my first foray into linux :) | 00:30 |
| ForgeAus | I lost my windows partition to it... | 00:31 |
| DarkriftX | thats not a bad thing though, thats linux AI trying to save you | 00:31 |
| ForgeAus | of course this was windows95 or 98 at the time... | 00:31 |
| ForgeAus | something like that | 00:31 |
| DarkriftX | windows detected!! must save user!! format windows partition and remove all traces of the Microsoft Virus!! | 00:32 |
| LeeJunFan | yeah, doing manual can be tough for newcomers, who forget to do such things as setting a mountpoint for partitions correctly. | 00:32 |
| ForgeAus | lol Darkrift... no it was bad it was a crappy cli partition program that you needed an expert with a law degree in order to tackle understanding how to use it.. | 00:32 |
| goldmetal | can someone help me with vpn? i am using kvpn, i got connected. but soon after 5 seconds i am disconnected. 'route -v' did not show my new route, but ifconfig showed a new ppp0 interface. | 00:33 |
| ForgeAus | hehe Lee I've used linux for a while now and even I don't remember to set a root mount point... so I let it complain and tell me :) | 00:33 |
| Carla1989 | Under sda, there were two partitions as it showed me first, I edited sda1 (the entire HD) to be root and EXT3 filesystem and the other partition as swap. That's all I did, and I hope I did it right. | 00:33 |
| Carla1989 | 61% done now. | 00:33 |
| ForgeAus | goldmetal interesting question, I don't know enough about vpn to help you I've never actually used it this way | 00:33 |
| Carla1989 | *and I hope I was doing it right.* | 00:34 |
| ForgeAus | Carla you pretty much had to have done it right the installer doesn't let you continue unless you have a valid root partition... | 00:34 |
| ForgeAus | thats all that is defined as "right" in this case... | 00:35 |
| ForgeAus | (it may or may not be what you wanted but thats a whole other question) | 00:35 |
| Carla1989 | I agree | 00:35 |
| LeeJunFan | nvm that the swap is probably 1/2 of the hd, but that's okay for now. hehe | 00:35 |
| Carla1989 | It's a small thingy, some 5 digit size if I remember it right | 00:36 |
| LeeJunFan | ugh, my shift/capslock keeps getting lost by switching vt's in vmware. | 00:36 |
| Carla1989 | :) | 00:36 |
| ForgeAus | Lee if it is thats a good thing :) | 00:36 |
| ForgeAus | removing a swap drive is no problem... | 00:36 |
| ForgeAus | removing remaking you can pretty much do what you want with swapspace, I just recommend that you keep at least SOME | 00:36 |
| ForgeAus | lol Lee :) | 00:36 |
| ForgeAus | I know the feeling | 00:37 |
| LeeJunFan | ForgeAus: that happens to you too/ | 00:37 |
| LeeJunFan | i thought it was just me. | 00:37 |
| Carla1989 | 74% bravo | 00:37 |
| ForgeAus | well I aren't one to switch VT's often but yes | 00:37 |
| ForgeAus | it has happened to me keyboard concurrency issues with a key being assigned to an unexpected function by a "wrapper" program | 00:38 |
| ForgeAus | but then I'm an emulation freak from way back | 00:38 |
| LeeJunFan | all my modifier keys seem to not work now, no shift,ctrl,alt. so no way to shift to another vt and back to f7 to see if it cures it. | 00:38 |
| * ForgeAus remembers discovering RiscOS fondly... | 00:38 | |
| alx54 | hmm hi there... I am a bit sad... I really love kubuntu but it's so slow! when I move around windows they drag behind, sometimes even the curser drags although I dont do anything on my machine, just listening music.... has anybody good advice on how to accelerate graphics? I use 8.04/3.5.9 default settings and the proprietary driver that was recommended during installing, my hardinfo report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47027/ | 00:38 |
| Carla1989 | Copying files, Creating Locales stage is done! Creating Users is done! | 00:39 |
| Carla1989 | Scanning the Mirror now. :) | 00:39 |
| Carla1989 | 82% | 00:39 |
| ForgeAus | Lee because they're used for other function in the VM | 00:40 |
| ForgeAus | I mean for the VM itself not inside it | 00:40 |
| ForgeAus | ie alt probably opens the menu bar | 00:40 |
| ForgeAus | note this means the virtual machine program your using hasn't been designed very well lol | 00:40 |
| LeeJunFan | ForgeAus: it's vmware, running kubuntu installer, i ctrl-alt-shift f1 within vmware to switch vt's. it could be any number of things i suppose. i should check for updates with vmware, as well i'm using kde4 and compiz so who know's what the real culprit is. i haven't use vt's within vmware in a long time - so i can't point to any 1 thing as being the one change. | 00:42 |
| DreadKnight | any way to share files between my kubuntu kde4 boxes? both using the same router... | 00:42 |
| DreadKnight | lan basicaly | 00:43 |
| LeeJunFan | 1samba | 00:43 |
| LeeJunFan | lol - i can't use exclamaiton. brb | 00:43 |
| DreadKnight | screw samba, don't wanna configure files and such T_T | 00:43 |
| ForgeAus | uh thats because control + shift means something to vmware | 00:44 |
| ForgeAus | you can set that behaviour I'm sure | 00:44 |
| ForgeAus | (also vt's don't need shift afaik | 00:44 |
| ForgeAus | just alt+control last I remembered... | 00:44 |
| etfb | Anyone know how to get VPN working in Kubuntu 8.04? I'm trying to connect to a Windows box at work and it seems to be deeply b0rked. | 00:44 |
| DreadKnight | that guy left a while ago | 00:44 |
| ForgeAus | wb Lee | 00:45 |
| LeeJunFan | yay, I've got all my keys again. lol. That's annoying. | 00:45 |
| ForgeAus | samba isn't the only way I'm not sure what kpf (kde public fileserver) uses but theres also nfs | 00:46 |
| ForgeAus | or P2P via websites/ftp/whatever | 00:46 |
| DreadKnight | nfs also hard to configure | 00:47 |
| ForgeAus | hehe then samba sounds like a great idea :) | 00:47 |
| ForgeAus | of course theres also physical media, like memory sticks (ie usb keys) and CD's and stuff | 00:47 |
| DreadKnight | samba also hard to configure :P | 00:47 |
| DreadKnight | want to share a thing on my home lan | 00:48 |
| ForgeAus | if you have kde3 you can rightclick your kicker (ie taskbar) and add kde public fileserver easy enough | 00:48 |
| ForgeAus | that probably does lots of the config for you as long as you have whatever protocol it uses installed | 00:49 |
| DreadKnight | never used that; but i have kde4 on both boxes near me | 00:49 |
| ForgeAus | gmm not sure that kde4 has that available | 00:49 |
| ForgeAus | ok... | 00:49 |
| ForgeAus | I may just shut up now... | 00:50 |
| DreadKnight | :D thanks for trying | 00:50 |
| ForgeAus | it comes under the heading of... I guess: ... misdirected efforts to assist... | 00:50 |
| ForgeAus | samba is harder when you have to manually edit the samba.conf file | 00:50 |
| ForgeAus | KDE has at least dialogs to set it all up | 00:50 |
| DreadKnight | well in kde4 there is "share" tab under properties of a folder; but when i activate the button under it it gives me a "kdesudo error" | 00:51 |
| ForgeAus | (I don't know if gnome has the same...) | 00:51 |
| * ForgeAus shrugs | 00:51 | |
| ForgeAus | KDE4 isn't ready yet really... for some of these kinds of things | 00:52 |
| ForgeAus | don't get me wrong KDE4 is good its just... not KDE3 | 00:52 |
| DreadKnight | i know | 00:52 |
| DreadKnight | well as i recall that doesn't works as well in kde3.. | 00:52 |
| Carla1989 | YAY! KUBUNTU IS THE BEST!! I AM WORKING ON THE BRAND NEW N SHINING HARDY DESKTOP. THANKS LEEJUNFAN, ESPECIALLY [ Sorry for the caps, couldn't help. :) ] | 00:56 |
| LeeJunFan | Carla1989: glad to hear. Thanks to ForgeAus too for helping out while my KB was ticking me off. | 01:03 |
| * Carla feels refreshed on the new kubuntu! | 01:04 | |
| * Carla1989 asks seriously? | 01:05 | |
| ForgeAus | Hardy Ha Ha Ha :) | 01:05 |
| * ForgeAus thinks he's seeing double double | 01:05 | |
| * Carla is no double | 01:05 | |
| * Carla1989 i think i agree with you | 01:05 | |
| mn | how can I make a .iso of / ? | 01:06 |
| Carla1989 | Thanks to ForgeAus too . :) | 01:06 |
| ForgeAus | thats why I think I'm seeing double double | 01:06 |
| ForgeAus | hey mn, um you just start a program to design a .iso (like k3b) and add / to it! | 01:07 |
| ForgeAus | that simple | 01:07 |
| Carla | oh really? I guess its about time to leave you guys at it. There are other needy people to eat you up. :) | 01:07 |
| ForgeAus | only I 'm not sure why you'd want to | 01:07 |
| Carla1989 | Yea Carla, you're right. Let's go and have a chilled beer! | 01:07 |
| ForgeAus | backing up and restoring is a much better idea usually | 01:07 |
| ForgeAus | (otherwise symlinks can be a pain among other things) | 01:07 |
| szakulec | hi, fish doesn't seem to be working properly- it rejects a valid username (which I confirmed by ssh'ing to the box)- any ideas? | 01:08 |
| ForgeAus | wb mn | 01:08 |
| ForgeAus | rofl | 01:08 |
| Carla | bye byez | 01:09 |
| ForgeAus | bye | 01:09 |
| ForgeAus | hav fun | 01:09 |
| ForgeAus | uh szakulec, I have no eye deer | 01:09 |
| mn | ForeAus: wb? | 01:09 |
| ForgeAus | and without legs its still no eye deer! | 01:09 |
| ForgeAus | short for welcome back | 01:09 |
| mn | o thnx | 01:10 |
| ForgeAus | its the yw's after a thanx that still sometimes get me! I keep forgetting it :) | 01:10 |
| ForgeAus | (stands for Your Welcome) | 01:10 |
| mn | yeah | 01:10 |
| mn | im just not used 2 seein chat speek on irc | 01:11 |
| mn | ;) | 01:11 |
| ForgeAus | may I ask why exactly you wish to copy / to a CD? | 01:11 |
| mn | so do you how I can make a .iso of / ? | 01:11 |
| ForgeAus | I already answered taht | 01:11 |
| ForgeAus | but I'm thinking what your asking for is likely not to suit your needs depending on what exactly your trying to do that for | 01:12 |
| mn | Well, I want my custom linux on a cd | 01:12 |
| ForgeAus | copying / to other media is a hazard mostly for symlinks among other things... | 01:12 |
| mn | symlinks? | 01:13 |
| ForgeAus | ok to create a custom LiveCD theres tutorials on the net (mostly they take ubuntu-minimal and add packages to it I think)... check them out they're more likely to bring about the results your looking for | 01:13 |
| DreadKnight | !nfs | 01:13 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 01:13 |
| ForgeAus | its not just as simple as copying / to an .iso | 01:13 |
| mn | oh | 01:14 |
| ForgeAus | symlinks = symbolic links they're files (analogous kinda to shortcuts in windows) that link to another file or directory somewhere else | 01:14 |
| ForgeAus | when you copy them they may break depending on the path... | 01:14 |
| ForgeAus | or worse they may remain dynamic and refer to things that aren't there anymore if the other media is removed! | 01:14 |
| mn | well, i just wanted to use this if I could because ive already customized it with 3rd party and proprietary software | 01:14 |
| mn | linux uses alot of symlinks doesnt it | 01:15 |
| ForgeAus | MN perhaps your better to say um... back it up and restore it to the CD? would that help? | 01:15 |
| ForgeAus | ie back up ur HDD somewhere into a file, then restore that file to the .iso media? | 01:15 |
| ForgeAus | yeah LInux tends to use them, they're handy | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | mn symlinks can be very handy. :) | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | expecially compared to the 'windows shortscuts' :) | 01:16 |
| ForgeAus | I don't know if that .iso will be bootable however... | 01:16 |
| ForgeAus | lol dr_willis ok go dump on windows... I'll just sulk ok? | 01:16 |
| mn | how does one make symlinks? | 01:17 |
| ForgeAus | theres a program ln | 01:17 |
| ForgeAus | that you can use to create them | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | ForgeAus, had to explain to a guy the other day why under windows - the program he was using was trying ot load his Document.lnk - instead of the file it was pointng to. :) | 01:17 |
| ForgeAus | (kinda like creating a directory except your creating a link instead.. | 01:17 |
| mn | ah | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | just rember kids.. a hard link. is identcal to the original file. :) | 01:18 |
| ForgeAus | lol dr_willis :) | 01:18 |
| Carla | Hey Guys, I am back with a beer. :) | 01:18 |
| Carla | How do I get streaming movies on kubuntu? | 01:18 |
| Carla | Flash/DivX format | 01:18 |
| fero | hi | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | Carla, clarify a bit.. You mean Watch some streams? or stream your own? | 01:18 |
| ForgeAus | you need a plugin | 01:19 |
| ForgeAus | and probably a web browser and/or vlc | 01:19 |
| ForgeAus | note both of those formats are non-free | 01:19 |
| Carla | So which plugin is this exactly. | 01:19 |
| ForgeAus | flash-plugin-nonfree I think does flash video | 01:19 |
| ForgeAus | (say youtube website) | 01:19 |
| ForgeAus | and DivX well I dunno I guess its handled in DVD, etc packages ??? | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | I normally install the w32codecs pack, and the kubuntu-restricted-extras package. | 01:20 |
| Carla | So I'll just search for it on konquerer.. and install it from there | 01:20 |
| fero | hello, do you read me? | 01:20 |
| ForgeAus | not konqueror Adept | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | I was thinking divx was handled by the mpeg stuff.. but i forget.. Ive never had issues playing divx. | 01:20 |
| ForgeAus | (adept is the package manager for Kubuntu its where you install/remove program parts (called packages from) | 01:20 |
| ForgeAus | !adept | 01:20 |
| ubottu | adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto | 01:20 |
| Carla | dr_willis, can you elaborate on the process | 01:20 |
| Carla | w32codecs, and kubuntu-restricted | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | Carla, install those 2 packages | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | that will grab 80% of the stuff you would ever need. :) | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | and i cant imagine what the other 20% would be | 01:21 |
| LeeJunFan | !medibuntu | 01:21 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 01:21 |
| ForgeAus | (from the commandline (ie open a terminal window (if you like use the program konsole, same thing) and type sudo apt-get install w32codecs kubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | Yep. w32codecs come from Medibuntu repos. | 01:22 |
| ForgeAus | it will ask you your password | 01:22 |
| Carla | package w32codecs is not available | 01:24 |
| ForgeAus | thats because you don't have the repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | Carla, its IN the MEDIBUNTU repositories :) | 01:24 |
| EagleSn | you need to install it from medibuntu packages | 01:24 |
| ForgeAus | but don't worry using Adept is an easy GUI way to edit that... | 01:24 |
| Carla | Oh, so how do I add it into the other repo. list | 01:24 |
| ForgeAus | if you read above theres a link to read | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | medibuntu homepage has a command you cut/paste also.. is another way | 01:24 |
| Carla | Okay, I have Adept opened up | 01:25 |
| ForgeAus | oh ok dr_willis | 01:25 |
| ForgeAus | hehe Im all backwards today | 01:25 |
| Carla | I need the address of APT Repo. | 01:25 |
| ForgeAus | helping people out from the wrong end of the stick! | 01:25 |
| EagleSn | Adept -> Manage repositories | 01:25 |
| Carla | so that I can add the complete command | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | See http://www.medibuntu.org | 01:25 |
| ForgeAus | Carla yes you need the address of the repository to add it | 01:26 |
| ForgeAus | dr willis is trying to tell you how (of course that webpage may give you commands that don't require adding the address personally) | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | See http://www.medibuntu.org -----------> sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | and it adds them in a nicer way | 01:27 |
| EagleSn | yes | 01:27 |
| ForgeAus | whast the -O ? | 01:27 |
| Carla | The page does not have the Adept manager command for hardy | 01:27 |
| Carla | sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 01:27 |
| ForgeAus | sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 01:28 |
| ForgeAus | oops | 01:28 |
| Carla | this is for konsole, right | 01:28 |
| ForgeAus | yes | 01:28 |
| EagleSn | yes, copy and paste that command in konsole | 01:28 |
| Carla | I need one for adept | 01:28 |
| EagleSn | forget Adept for now | 01:28 |
| EagleSn | close Adept | 01:28 |
| Carla | oh, okay. :) | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | You could of allready had the stuff done from the command line interface in the time it took me to write this statement.. | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | :) | 01:28 |
| EagleSn | run that command | 01:28 |
| EagleSn | after that, run this one: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 01:29 |
| ForgeAus | ouch I have too many non-standard repos! | 01:29 |
| Carla | dilipgarg@CrashingVictory:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 01:30 |
| Carla | E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:30 |
| EagleSn | oh oh, problems | 01:30 |
| dr_willis | Hmmm. sounds like som sort of typo happened somewhere | 01:30 |
| DarkriftX | anyone know how to add trackers to a downloading torrent in ktorrent? | 01:31 |
| Carla | Oh, looks like kubuntu isnt that easy to chew | 01:31 |
| cilkay | Carla: sudo -i then enter your password. Copy/paste all that stuff above again this time without the sudo. | 01:31 |
| ForgeAus | sure it is | 01:31 |
| cilkay | Carla: Nah... you're just making it harder than it needs to be :) | 01:31 |
| EagleSn | Carla its like you typed bad the command to add repositiry | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | Copy/paste is so handy. :) | 01:32 |
| EagleSn | it seems there is a word "sudo" inside source.list | 01:32 |
| Carla | Oh, whole of the command is in the sources file | 01:32 |
| ForgeAus | sometimes a little too handy in this case it seems | 01:32 |
| Carla | that wget command | 01:32 |
| ForgeAus | no you don't put the command in the sources.list file | 01:32 |
| ForgeAus | you type it on the command line of konsole | 01:32 |
| Carla | I didn;t do it.. seriously. | 01:32 |
| ForgeAus | rofl :) | 01:33 |
| ForgeAus | I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything :) | 01:33 |
| ForgeAus | (of course that means I'm likely guilty as sin) | 01:33 |
| morghanphoenix | question, why would kubuntu have weird stats for my battery charge when fedora on the same system has the right stats. Things like saying my battery is overcharged, and that I have 15 minutes of battery right when I unplug despite the fact that I have a two hour battery life. | 01:33 |
| Carla | Now how do I get that removed | 01:34 |
| ForgeAus | same way you added it I think | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | im not sure what typo he did to add it.. | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | dosent even touch the sources.list file | 01:35 |
| ForgeAus | Carla is a he? | 01:35 |
| Carla | omg! did someone just change my gender?? | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | ForgeAus, could be an ALien from alpha-centri also. :) | 01:35 |
| ForgeAus | I think they probably typed it in in adept's manage packages ? | 01:35 |
| ForgeAus | rofl dr_willis :) | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | could be an FBI agent, or a 300lb Garbage collector also... | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | :P | 01:35 |
| ForgeAus | or Tau_Ceti, even Rigel! :) | 01:35 |
| Carla | How do I get that line removed from that sources file | 01:36 |
| ForgeAus | more likely a Vampire trying to gain our confidence :) | 01:36 |
| === atmarte is now known as pop3000 | ||
| morghanphoenix | Space vampires, eh? | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | Carla, if its in /etc/apt/sources.lst you edit that file as root. | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | and correct the mistake. | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | I would bet theres a 'sudo' at the front of line 56 for some reason | 01:37 |
| ForgeAus | are there any other kind? | 01:37 |
| morghanphoenix | probably dropped the command into the gui where you only need to add the address. | 01:38 |
| ForgeAus | to edit the file as root you might wish to type kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list in either konsole (a terminal or command prompt)... or by rightclicking the desktop and selecting run command | 01:39 |
| Carla | morghan, yes - I remember doing that | 01:39 |
| ForgeAus | of course theres always xterm if you'd prefer :) | 01:40 |
| DarkriftX | erm... my ktorrent screen is like 4k pixels high and wont let me resize it. what can i do to fix that | 01:40 |
| ForgeAus | ktorrent now theres a great application :) | 01:40 |
| Carla | Updating medibuntu packages right now | 01:40 |
| ForgeAus | I've never had it do that | 01:40 |
| morghanphoenix | Nothing wrong with xterm, but if you're using kubuntu why not spring for yakuake. | 01:41 |
| morghanphoenix | Not like you're doing much for running light with KDE going anyways, | 01:41 |
| ForgeAus | morghan first you need to install yakuake | 01:42 |
| ForgeAus | besides I prefer konsole | 01:42 |
| morghanphoenix | Trying to kill my battery totally, see if that helps anything with this weird battery monitor thing. | 01:42 |
| Carla | w32codecs and restricted extras are installed. | 01:42 |
| morghanphoenix | Maybe if it dies on it's own once it'll work right again | 01:42 |
| ForgeAus | awesome Carla :) great! | 01:42 |
| ForgeAus | see you can do it, and its not that hard! | 01:43 |
| morghanphoenix | Had to turn the power management off though, kept hibernating me despite the fact my battery was working fine. | 01:43 |
| === hal is now known as Hal9000 | ||

| Carla | ForgeAus, yes. What's the next step | 01:43 |
| ForgeAus | next step? | 01:44 |
| Carla | Can I just start watching DivX movies now | 01:44 |
| ForgeAus | you should be able to | 01:44 |
| morghanphoenix | Well, at least it's a whole bank on mine. | 01:44 |
| Carla | Hmm, let me try | 01:44 |
| wesley_ | sites say i dont have java but i have installed | 01:44 |
| wesley_ | it | 01:44 |
| ForgeAus | you do of course have to have a source of DivX movies to try it with | 01:44 |
| wesley_ | i use amd64 8.10 | 01:44 |
| ForgeAus | wesley no plugin? | 01:44 |
| morghanphoenix | Hmm, -10 min power | 01:45 |
| ForgeAus | first of all which java do you have? ecj, sun or what? | 01:45 |
| morghanphoenix | Funny it's still working fine. | 01:45 |
| alexander_ | hello | 01:45 |
| morghanphoenix | But the actually power light is blinking | 01:45 |
| morghanphoenix | Does the OS send a signal to that? | 01:46 |
| wesley_ | ForgeAus that what the sites says no plugin ( uh java ? sun ? | 01:46 |
| ForgeAus | oops gcj if I can type it right | 01:46 |
| ForgeAus | dunno morghan | 01:46 |
| alexander_ | whats up guys? | 01:46 |
| morghanphoenix | kubuntu-restricted-extras package installed? | 01:46 |
| morghanphoenix | easiest way I knwo to get most everything | 01:46 |
| alexander_ | guys? | 01:46 |
| ForgeAus | which site wes? | 01:47 |
| ForgeAus | hey alexander | 01:47 |
| alexander_ | how do you guys like ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| wesley_ | morghanphoenix yes i installed that package | 01:47 |
| ForgeAus | I don't I love Kubuntu instead :) | 01:47 |
| morghanphoenix | I dodn't care for gnome | 01:47 |
| wesley_ | but it still sayes i dont have java | 01:47 |
| morghanphoenix | Don't really like kubuntu that much either, but the premade packages make it worth while. | 01:48 |
| alexander_ | i love ubuntu | 01:48 |
| morghanphoenix | I swear it's becoming the third OS | 01:48 |
| alexander_ | it is basic but still has a little touchness to it | 01:48 |
| Carla | Nopes, the flash player is "greyed out" and divx player doesn't even show up. | 01:48 |
| morghanphoenix | Windows, MAc or Ubuntu | 01:48 |
| morghanphoenix | If you use linux you'll have to take apart the deb and figure out why it won't run on debian. | 01:48 |
| alexander_ | Windows if for gaming | 01:48 |
| alexander_ | thats it | 01:48 |
| morghanphoenix | Windows isn't even for that | 01:49 |
| alexander_ | then what is it for lol | 01:49 |
| morghanphoenix | I run games better with wine than with xp | 01:49 |
| alexander_ | haha same | 01:49 |
| alexander_ | WoW FTW | 01:49 |
| morghanphoenix | Heh, more warnings, wonder if my battery really is about to die | 01:49 |
| morghanphoenix | THat'd suck | 01:49 |
| morghanphoenix | a few months old and allready down to a 20 min battery time | 01:49 |
| morghanphoenix | I hope it's just some kind of bug | 01:50 |
| EagleSn | i love vista | 01:50 |
| morghanphoenix | Batteries aren't covered in my warranty | 01:50 |
| morghanphoenix | heh, my battery time has gone up though | 01:50 |
| morghanphoenix | It was negative and now it says 3 minuted remain | 01:50 |
| morghanphoenix | How do you get a negative time on battery life if it dies at zero? | 01:51 |
| morghanphoenix | q minute | 01:52 |
| morghanphoenix | make that 1 | 01:52 |

| nitebird | Hey, can anyone help me with a Wireless USB issues in Hardy? | 01:56 |
| nitebird | I've plugged-in the Linksys WUSB54GC which should work out-of-the-box with Hardy | 01:57 |
| nitebird | I've even tried ndiswrapper | 01:57 |
| nitebird | But although I can see the interface in the Network Manager | 01:57 |
| nitebird | Everytime I enable it, it immediately becomes unenabled | 01:57 |
| nitebird | There's an onboard wireless card that isn't agreeing well with Linux | 01:58 |
| nitebird | So I thought that there might be an IRQ conflict | 01:58 |
| nitebird | So I threw irqpoll as an boot argument for the kernel | 01:58 |
| nitebird | But that in no way solved the problem | 01:58 |
| nitebird | Any ideas? | 01:58 |

| Guest62123 | are you here ? | 02:15 |
| rkroetch | I am trying to run some servers on a machine that is heavily firewalled by IT. Right now I can access port 22 from the internet, but no other ports I've tried. Anyone know an easy way to find what ports can be accessed from the internet? | 02:16 |
| rkroetch | If the ports don't have a server running on them, they won't show up as open in port scanners, so it seems rather difficult to figure out which ones are open | 02:16 |
| nitebird | rkroetch, I know that some programs, like utorrent, check to see if your torrent software can use the port you specified or if it might be slower because it's behind a firewall | 02:21 |
| nitebird | You might want to try that | 02:21 |
| sooki | i'm trying to add windows to my grub list, but it's located on its own second drive, and i'm not sure which hdwhatever,whatever it is, is there a way to find out? | 02:24 |
| h2i | hmm... so i created a user by going into sys settings and users and groups... the user was supposed to have sudo privileges, but i couldn't use sudo... so i restarted X and the problem persists still.... | 02:24 |
| h2i | heelp :) | 02:24 |
| EagleSn | h2i a new user different than user who installed the system does not sudo privileges by default | 02:25 |
| h2i | how do you get sudo privileges? | 02:26 |
| EagleSn | i am not sure | 02:26 |
| h2i | oh | 02:26 |
| h2i | hmm | 02:26 |
| h2i | i will work around it i suppose | 02:27 |
| EagleSn | i know that is editing some in /etc/sudoers | 02:27 |
| maduser | kdesudo $ | 02:27 |
| maduser | or in the ternimal sudo | 02:27 |
| EagleSn | until you do it, you can use su command to become root in a terminal if you put a root password | 02:28 |
| maduser | su doesn't seem to work | 02:29 |
| maduser | It only works wehn i do sudo su | 02:29 |
| EagleSn | to use su you need first stablish a root password | 02:29 |
| EagleSn | you can do it with sudo passwd | 02:30 |
| maduser | in kubuntu there is not root by defult | 02:30 |
| maduser | yeah | 02:30 |
| EagleSn | then Enter the new Unix password (root password) | 02:30 |
| EagleSn | after that yo ucan use su and also start session as root in a tty terminal | 02:30 |
| htgf | Hello. How do I setup wireless access on Kubuntu. | 02:35 |
| htgf | Using lspci, I got the wireless card name | 02:36 |

| BluesKaj | !Wireless | htgf | 02:39 |
| ubottu | htgf: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:39 |
| htgf | BluesKaj, I don't need to setup a wireless network, Just need to acces it. Does this page describe the process? | 02:40 |
| mn | htgf: will you give us some more details | 02:44 |
| mn | i just recently had to connect my linux system to wireless | 02:44 |
| mn | htgf: if you cannot connect, get ndiswrapper and install this driver: w70n501.inf from intel.com | 02:47 |

| frdt | mn, anyone? | 03:06 |
| mn | let me see | 03:08 |
| frdt | There's a video helper you have to click, which somehow lets you watch divx videos | 03:09 |
| mn | do you have a DivX player? | 03:10 |
| frdt | I am using mplayer | 03:10 |
| Guest62123 | i want know new kernel ? | 03:10 |
| frdt | I can watch videos at, for e.g. stagehd.com | 03:10 |
| frdt | www.stagehd.com they also host divx videos | 03:10 |
| frdt | but ninjavideo requires this video helper thingy.. a bit different than a usual divx video | 03:11 |
| mn | frdt: hmm, I don't know. I wish I could help, but I'm not into media and stuff. Mostly dev and apps | 03:12 |
| mn | Guest62123: what? you want to know the newest linux kernel? | 03:13 |
| Guest62123 | oh | 03:13 |
| Guest62123 | yes | 03:13 |
| frdt | Oh, then perhaps you can advice me on suitable GUI based developing environments for C++, Java, and lisp on Kubuntu. | 03:13 |

| matr1x | download linux, jump right in | 03:55 |
| huu | my company is using system windows, we want migrating from windows to linux | 03:55 |
| huu | all system | 03:56 |
| matr1x | well you're using linux already it seems | 03:56 |
| huu | only | 03:56 |
| matr1x | well it really depends on what you want to migrate | 03:56 |
| matr1x | depends on what your business does | 03:57 |
| matr1x | if it has software that runs only in windows, you should look for linux alternatives or if they can run through wine and/or dosemu | 03:57 |
| matr1x | as you are presumably.. german, i do believe there is a fair amount of linux use in that country in that language. im sure you could find some testimonials online from various companies that have done the switch | 03:59 |
| draik | huu: I wish my company would do that. Our systems are sluggish and it's all due to memory hog apps being run by our leads. | 04:01 |
| draik | I think there are books on the migration and how to do it. | 04:01 |
| draik | It's been a while, but I think I saw a book which helped with the migration. It was a bit of a "this app in Linux replaces the use of this win app...." | 04:02 |
| draik | IIRC, it also helped with installation and everyday use. | 04:02 |
| huu | oh | 04:03 |
| huu | thank you very much! | 04:03 |
| draik | It's been about 3 years, but I know I saw it years ago. | 04:03 |

| surgy | hello | 06:22 |
| surgy | I have a blank DVD but no blank cds | 06:22 |
| surgy | and I want a copy of kubuntu | 06:22 |
| surgy | If i remember right there used to be a dvd version | 06:22 |
| surgy | or would it be ok to burn the cd iso to a dvd? | 06:23 |
| surgy | !dvd | 06:23 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 06:23 |
| surgy | !dvd install | 06:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd install | 06:23 |
| surgy | anyone? | 06:24 |
| surgy | can someone help me please? | 06:27 |
| dwidmann | surgy: if you're still around, what do you need? | 06:39 |
| surgy | well i think i found a torrent of the file | 06:39 |
| surgy | the latest stable kubuntu dvd is 8.04 right? | 06:40 |
| dwidmann | surgy, you can burn the CD ISO to a DVD, and current is 8.04.1 | 06:40 |
| surgy | and it will boot just fine? | 06:41 |
| dwidmann | surgy: in K3b you'd go to "Tools -> Burn DVD ISO image", select the ISO image (doesn't matter that it's actually CD size), and yeah, burn it and it'll boot right up. | 06:41 |
| surgy | im in win crap xp right now | 06:41 |
| surgy | will i be able to use the other 2.4 gb of space for other things? opr will it automaticly take up the entire disk? | 06:42 |
| dwidmann | surgy: I think it'll probably take up the whole disk. | 06:42 |
| surgy | ahh ok well thatl be fine | 06:42 |
| dwidmann | surgy: Not that it should matter that much, price-wise you can get DVDs just as cheap as CDs anymore. | 06:42 |
| surgy | also are there any problems with the amd64 bit version that I should be aware of? | 06:43 |
| surgy | compatibility problems or anything? | 06:43 |
| surgy | i used to use the x86 version but I have an x2+ cpu now | 06:43 |
| dwidmann | surgy: Well, that might depend on some laptop hardware ... but for the most part on most hardware things are okay. | 06:43 |
| surgy | well desktop, geforce 8800 gt, 2gb ddr800, 2.8ghz athlon x2 5000+, with realtek 8 channel audio | 06:44 |
| dwidmann | surgy: all of that should work okay | 06:45 |
| surgy | kewl | 06:45 |
| surgy | cuz i couldnt get my onboard 8channel audio to even work in windows | 06:45 |
| dwidmann | surgy: the audio can be hit and miss even with very similar chipsets though | 06:45 |
| surgy | im using a crappy 16 bit 1 channel audigy card.... | 06:45 |
| surgy | the defualt driver isnt going to cut it for my onboard sound huh? | 06:46 |
| dwidmann | surgy: it should | 06:46 |
| dwidmann | surgy: Some people have had trouble, most people seem to be okay. | 06:47 |
| dwidmann | AFAIK | 06:47 |
| dwidmann | surgy: oh, and if it doesn't ... keep in mind that 8.10 should come out in about 5 or 6 weeks | 06:48 |
| surgy | nice | 06:48 |
| surgy | thats going to have a stable version of kde 4 right? | 06:49 |
| dwidmann | surgy: Well, same version that's available to users of 8.04 right now | 06:49 |
| dwidmann | surgy: they've been pretty good about supplying us with packages as things are released | 06:50 |
| dwidmann | surgy: It'll probably be released with KDE 4.1.2 | 06:50 |
| surgy | nice | 06:50 |
| surgy | my first dvd burn on a sata dvd +rw | 06:51 |
| surgy | just started | 06:51 |
| surgy | at 80% | 06:51 |
| dwidmann | surgy: I've got a SATA Samsung 20x DVD +-rw ... Fast fast fast fast!! | 06:52 |
| surgy | done | 06:52 |
| surgy | lol | 06:52 |
| surgy | very fast | 06:52 |
| dwidmann | surgy: and yet, I've never had a bad burn even once | 06:52 |
| surgy | yeah gonna go load up kubuntu seeya in comp heaven :) | 06:53 |
| surgy | thnx for the info btw | 06:53 |
| surgy | latetrs | 06:53 |
| dwidmann | no prob, later | 06:53 |

| metty_ | hi all! just installed kubuntu hardy and wanted to update it.. but when i did the "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main" command i got an error: "bash: deb : command not found ... | 09:07 |
| jussi01 | metty_: thats not a command | 09:08 |
| favro | metty_: that line should go in your source list | 09:08 |
| jussi01 | you need to add that line to /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:08 |
| jussi01 | so kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:09 |
| jussi01 | then add the line | 09:09 |
| metty_ | oh, ok thank you :) | 09:09 |
| jussi01 | remember to sudo apt-get update | 09:09 |
| metty_ | jussi01: so if i want to update, i first write this key in my sources.list and THEN do the apt-get update right? | 09:12 |
| jussi01 | yes | 09:12 |
| metty_ | thx ;) | 09:12 |
| jussi01 | metty_: also, kde4 support is in #kubuntu-kde4 | 09:12 |
| jussi01 | :) | 09:12 |

| ocs | hi. is there a way to tell (through a script or a command) the last opened window to move to desktop 2 ? | 09:28 |
| callaway | hello | 10:10 |
| metty_ | will i have to install a special package for programming in cpp? i already installed then c++ compiler, but if i want to compile my hello world programm with "gcc -o file file.cpp" it says "undefined reference to std::cout etc | 10:10 |
| callaway | anyone know if you can connect kubuntu and vista together? LAN? | 10:10 |
| callaway | I mean is it possible? | 10:11 |
| ocs | hi. is there a way to tell (through a script or a command) the last opened window to move to desktop 2 ? | 10:11 |
| callaway | metty you are missing the header files | 10:11 |
| callaway | like stdio.h? | 10:12 |
| metty_ | in c++ it is iostream | 10:12 |
| metty_ | which i already included.. | 10:12 |
| callaway | yes iostream | 10:12 |
| callaway | there are some issues with iostream and stdio | 10:13 |
| callaway | I think instead of gcc you should try cc or c++ | 10:13 |
| callaway | :) | 10:13 |
| callaway | like c++ -o myprog myprog.c | 10:14 |
| callaway | anyways.......... do anyone know if you can connect kubuntu and vista together? LAN? | 10:14 |
| callaway | or peer to peer or any which way? | 10:15 |
| metty_ | but in the manual of g++/gcc is listed, that it can compile c++ code | 10:15 |
| fran_ | hola | 10:16 |
| fran_ | tengo una duda a ver si alguien me echa una mano | 10:16 |
| fran_ | hay alguien? | 10:16 |
| callaway | depends on which ver of gcc.... yeah use g++ instead ...I am so confused | 10:16 |
| callaway | anyways.......... do anyone know if you can connect kubuntu and vista together? LAN? | 10:16 |
| callaway | no one? | 10:16 |
| callaway | what ip address and network mask do you have to assign to your network card? | 10:17 |
| pakus | callaway: Yes It's possible | 10:18 |
| pakus | callaway: What type of connection? | 10:19 |
| callaway | pakus you did it? | 10:19 |
| callaway | lan | 10:19 |
| callaway | wired | 10:19 |
| pakus | callaway: But what do you want? transfer files? | 10:19 |
| callaway | share printer and folder | 10:19 |
| callaway | maybe internet in the future | 10:19 |
| pakus | to connect a kubuntu to a vista you need to install sambaclient on linux box | 10:20 |
| callaway | linux can see windows folder but windows cannot see linux folder? | 10:20 |
| callaway | is samba up to date with vista? | 10:20 |
| callaway | do i need a server? or can you do peer to peer with the 2 machines? | 10:21 |
| MrKennie | callaway: if you use dolphin you can share folders by right clicking them and selecting properties then click the share tab | 10:23 |
| callaway | what kind of hardware do I need? I have functional nic cards on both machines..... do I need a hub/switch and a server or can I just use a cross cable? | 10:24 |
| MrKennie | you can connect them directly with a crossover cable or you can use a hub or a switch. | 10:25 |
| metty_ | isn't nano able to highlight c++ syntax? | 10:25 |
| MrKennie | you could even get a router, most of them have a built in switch so you can share the internet connection and share files locally etc. | 10:25 |
| callaway | ok I have a crossover cable..... that is the same as a networking cable isn't it? | 10:26 |
| MrKennie | callaway: yes | 10:26 |
| callaway | it is not communicating | 10:26 |
| MrKennie | callaway: well, you may need to configure your network on each machine first | 10:26 |
| callaway | vista detects a unknown network.... at least it sees the attached workstation | 10:27 |
| callaway | now how do you setup the kubuntu side? | 10:27 |
| MrKennie | then you're most of the way there already | 10:27 |
| callaway | ifconfig shows that its up | 10:27 |
| callaway | ifup and ifdown works | 10:27 |
| MrKennie | go to K -> System -> Dolphin | 10:28 |
| MrKennie | on the left you should see a Network icon | 10:28 |
| callaway | I dont have dolphin | 10:28 |
| callaway | i am using 6.10 | 10:28 |
| MrKennie | ah I see | 10:29 |
| MrKennie | konqueror then | 10:29 |
| callaway | how about system settings? | 10:29 |
| callaway | ok konqueror and then? | 10:30 |
| MrKennie | do you see network folders or similar? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 10:30 |
| callaway | yeah network folder | 10:30 |
| MrKennie | hey ActionParsnip | 10:30 |
| MrKennie | callaway: ok, click that | 10:30 |
| MrKennie | callaway: you should see Samba Shares | 10:31 |
| callaway | yeah i do | 10:31 |
| MrKennie | callaway: ok, click on that and give a few seconds | 10:31 |
| MrKennie | callaway: you should see the name of your workgroup popup | 10:32 |
| callaway | Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be caused by an enabled firewall. | 10:32 |
| callaway | haha | 10:32 |
| MrKennie | hm, ok, do you have sharing enabled on the windows machine? | 10:32 |
| callaway | yeah | 10:33 |
| lokai | anyone have experience with skype? | 10:33 |
| MrKennie | callaway: and is it set to allow locally connected machines? | 10:33 |
| callaway | so does this mean they are actually communicating? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: are you trying to access a shared folder on a windows system? | 10:34 |
| metty_ | isn't Nano able to highlight c++ syntax? if not, which one is it? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | metty_: i dont think nano does highlighting | 10:34 |
| callaway | um yeah .....well I am just trying to get them to communicate first AcrionParsnip | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smbmount | 10:35 |
| callaway | um yeah .....well I am just trying to get them to communicate first ActionParsnip | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: if you can ping the server by name it will communicate | 10:35 |
| MrKennie | vi/vim, mcedit and various other editors I can't recall the names of | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | vi is very strange to me | 10:36 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip what am I supposed to ping? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: the other systems name | 10:36 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip what am I supposed to ping? I havent addressed the ip addresses yet | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: the windows system has a name, ping in | 10:37 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip what is the system name? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: run ipconfig /all on the windows pc | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | the hostname is the pcs name | 10:37 |
| callaway | oh crap it does work........!!!!!!!!!! it pinged | 10:37 |
| callaway | lol | 10:38 |
| MrKennie | :) | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: then add the line in the link i gave you to /etc/fstab and it'll mount at bootup | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | obviously change the server name / share name and mount point to your liking | 10:38 |
| callaway | so in vista I should try pinging the linux machine? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: no need | 10:38 |
| zorglu_ | q. i would like to get vlc 0.9.2 on 8.04. vlc teams doesnt support 8.04 only 8.10. is there a chance to get it backported to 8.04 ? | 10:39 |
| MrKennie | is it in hardy-backports? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: sudo apt-get install vlc(tab complete) | 10:39 |
| callaway | ok letme see that link.... geeeeeezzzz I was already connected | 10:40 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: it provide vlc 0.9.2 ? | 10:40 |
| callaway | novell days clouds my brain | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: no idea, give it a shot | 10:40 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: ok :) | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: tab complete the world ;0 | 10:42 |
| zorglu_ | it only provide 0.8.6 | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: you could compile the source | 10:43 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: in theory :) | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: does 0.8.6 not work on your system/ | 10:43 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: nope | 10:44 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: it is ok, i will wait 2-4 weeks. maybe somebody will build the package | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm | 10:44 |
| MrKennie | doesn't look like it's in backports either | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: its not hard to copile stuff | 10:44 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: :))) | 10:44 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: i can tell you never tried to compile vlc :) | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: im doing it now with emerge in gentoo ;) | 10:45 |
| Wolven | Hi, i just have a slight quiery, when i login my pc establishes a connection to an IP i don't recongise or see any need for it to. It's over the www protocol, should i be worried? | 10:45 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: yep this is a possibility | 10:45 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: i could do a VM with gentoo on it, and run vlc in there | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: or use another player like mplayer | 10:45 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: on the other hand i would have to learn and maintain a gentoo just for that | 10:45 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: apt-get build-dep vlc ? and then go compile! :) | 10:46 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: same thing that i said to ActionParsnip :) | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Wolven: is the ip an internet ip or a local ip? | 10:46 |
| zorglu_ | ok i will wait a month and ask again. thanks :) | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Wolven: what setup do you have in the way of networking? | 10:46 |
| zorglu_ | on #ubuntu-fr they banned me :) | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_: id use mplay or totem til then | 10:47 |
| zorglu_ | ActionParsnip: mplayer doesnt fit my need. aka converting live stream to http/flv | 10:47 |
| zorglu_ | btw you should watch #ubuntu-fr they give ubuntu bad press | 10:47 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: what about ffmpeg? | 10:47 |
| Wolven | Its an internet IP ( its 204.16.240.100 ) i have a DSL connection via a router. | 10:48 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip how come the windows cannot ping the linux machine while linux can ping the windows machine? | 10:48 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: i think it could do it. but i dunno how to make it | 10:48 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: ffmpeg doc is sparse to say the least | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: windows is weird | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: maybe your firewall is blocking the local traffic | 10:48 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip ah yeah that could be it | 10:48 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: I used it in the past to convert stuff for playback on my psp and I've experimented with flv stuff too. | 10:49 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: there is a nice guide on it somewhere, one sec | 10:49 |
| metty_ | actually, it IS possible to highlight syntax with nano, just configure the nanorc file.. | 10:49 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip ok samba allows printers on both machines to be shared by eachother? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: indeed | 10:49 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: if you get something to remove my dependancy to vlc, i will be gratefull :) | 10:49 |
| zorglu_ | a LOT | 10:49 |
| callaway | wow cool | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | callaway: id just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf. its not hard at all | 10:50 |
| callaway | ActionParsnip MrKennie Thanks!!!!!! | 10:50 |
| callaway | laters | 10:50 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: there's loads of guides on it, I can't find the one I used but you'll soon pick it up | 10:51 |
| MrKennie | google for ffmpeg flv :) | 10:52 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: ok too bad. i try to remove this vlc dependancy for more than a year now | 10:52 |
| Wolven | I've run RKHunter and everything is normal, i cant find out much useful information if i do a Whois on the IP.... I'm just wondering why it's started all of a sudden.. | 10:52 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: ActionParsnip: thanks for your help | 10:52 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: only downside is trying to get the right codec support installed but once you got that figured out it works very well. | 10:52 |
| MrKennie | zorglu_: np | 10:53 |
| zorglu_ | MrKennie: vlc is the weak link behind my http://player.urfastr.tv/live :) | 10:53 |
| MrKennie | Wolven: what is the problem again? | 10:53 |
| zorglu_ | ok see ya :) good to see ubuntu people | 10:54 |
| MrKennie | ah nice | 10:54 |
| Wolven | When i login to my system it connects briefly to an IP i don't rcognise/see any reason for it to, i'm just wondering if i should be worried.. | 10:54 |
| MrKennie | Wolven: have you done a whois on the ip? | 10:55 |
| Wolven | Yea, it doesnt seem to give me anything useful (It's 204.16.240.100) | 10:56 |

| aziz | hi, my friend lives in Turkey, and his provider apparently uses NAT. I'd like to connect to his server, for example SSH or VNC, but obviously it doesn't work :/ | 12:19 |
| aziz | is there some way to solve this problem? | 12:19 |
| jussi01 | aziz: get him to log into his router and open the correct ports | 12:21 |
| jussi01 | aziz: this site can be very helpful: http://portforward.com/ | 12:22 |
| aziz | jussi01: he doesn't have a router. it's his provider which is in control of this I suppose. | 12:23 |
| jussi01 | aziz: hrm, really? or does he have an adsl modem? they often have it in them | 12:24 |
| aziz | yea he mentioned an adsl modem | 12:24 |
| jussi01 | aziz: likely its in the settings of that. | 12:24 |

| etfb | LeeJunFan: The other method involves installing the Gnome version of networkmanager because of a long-standing bug in the KDE version that prevents you configuring new VPN connections. | 14:23 |

| [pyro] | i think ill just grab the deb's and install them by hand | 17:08 |
| EagleScreen | an ubuntu kernel is equipped with multiple .deb packages | 17:08 |
| EagleScreen | the easiest way is to add intrepid repository, install "linux" metapackage without upgrading anything more, disble intrepid repository and done | 17:09 |

| soded | 17:59 | |
| soded | [Note] | 17:59 |
| soded | Assuming that the remote Ubuntu machine has installed SSH Server service. Read How do I install an SSH Server?. Remote Ubuntu machine IP address:192.168.0.1 | 17:59 |
| soded | 1. | 17:59 |
| soded | ssh username@192.168.0.1 | 17:59 |
| Tm_T | erp | 18:00 |
| TiredWolf | soded: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 18:00 |
| TiredWolf | !paste | 18:00 |
| ubottu | 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) | 18:00 |
| Tm_T | soded: you are doing what exactly? | 18:00 |
| soded | i'm trying to connect to my school computer to download a file from there to my computer | 18:00 |
| Tm_T | hmmm | 18:00 |
| soded | using scp | 18:00 |
| Tm_T | is there ssh server? | 18:00 |
| soded | yes | 18:01 |
| Tm_T | scp user@remotehost/path/to/file /local/path/ | 18:01 |
| Tm_T | right? | 18:01 |
| soded | tirewolf: i did install openssh-server | 18:01 |
| soded | ps: i'm totally new to linux / ubuntu so i've got no clue what i'm doing. | 18:02 |
| TiredWolf | then i don't know why you pasted all that stuff | 18:02 |
| soded | googled a guide on scp | 18:02 |
| soded | http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/system_administration_books/ubuntu_starter_guide/ch07s03.html#installssh | 18:02 |
| soded | but that didn't help me so much. | 18:02 |
| Tm_T | !scp | 18:02 |
| ubottu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 18:02 |
| soded | anyways they say that i should connect by typinh login-X.student.lth.se (where X stands between number 1-16) | 18:03 |
| soded | thereafter type in my username / password | 18:03 |
| Tm_T | soded: you can provide username while connecting, IIRC | 18:04 |
| soded | ok... | 18:04 |
| soded | but how to connect to "login-X.student.lth.se" ? | 18:04 |

| sobczyk | rc2.d is for graphical mode in ubuntu | 19:13 |

| sobczyk | and the opposite with kdm | 19:14 |
| Jampiter | Yeah | 19:15 |
| sobczyk | the number is the order the system launches the programs, though don't change it | 19:15 |

| broth | sobczyk: yes but the thing is that konqueror by default makes run a lot of apps | 19:21 |
| sobczyk | Jampiter: I think it chooses the biggest from xorg.conf | 19:21 |
| Jampiter | Is there a way to fix that without touching Xorg.conf? (That's how I broke my old install..) | 19:21 |
| broth | sobczyk: for example i have kooldock installed and it wont let me open the "home" link without konqueror... can u help? | 19:22 |
| sobczyk | theres no setting for default filebrowser in kooldock? | 19:22 |
| broth | sobczyk: i mean i already removed it with that command but i had to re-install it cuz stuff like kooldock wasnt working | 19:23 |
| broth | sobczyk: apparently it seems there is | 19:23 |
| Jampiter | Meh, I'll live with kdm | 19:23 |

| hurt | just set up an IP adress on your client. | 20:00 |
| lizzie | When I alt-tab, kde cycles through the windows in a constant order. How can I make it cycle through windows in order by how recently they were used, so I can use it to switch back and forth between two windows easily? | 20:00 |

| sobczyk | bobbo85: go to system settings->advanced | 20:43 |
| sobczyk | there you can find settings for mounting drives | 20:43 |
| sobczyk | "drives & filesystems" something like that | 20:44 |
| bobbo85 | sobczyk, i don't see anything like that | 20:44 |
| ign0ramus | bobbo85: its exactly where he said, but it's called "Disk and Filesystems" | 20:45 |
| bobbo85 | "Audio cds, autostart, cddb retrieval, digital camera, file associations, input actions, kde resources,kde wallet, nepomuk, service manager, session manager, solid, login manager" | 20:45 |
| ign0ramus | bobbo85: alternately, you can find it in Kcontrol > System Administration | 20:47 |
| ign0ramus | bobbo85: at least running kde3... don't know if it's changed in kde4 | 20:47 |

| gkffjcs | really obscure question, is there a way to get a bash shell on a remote host via irc? Note: i don't mean hacking or anything like that, I have a remote box behind an isp's nat router, so the only thing I can think of us using irc, as a bridge. | 20:53 |
| numberi | i talk about router and dhcp | 20:54 |
| ign0ramus | numberi: ok, but does your isp give you a static ip? if not, it would be pointless to set your router to static | 20:54 |

| Daisuke_Ido | patience :) aisleriot's gotten a lot better, but patience is still the best | 22:38 |

| dummkopf_jenkins | so, I create a shortcut to Konsole on my taskbar? And it seems to want to magically change to a bash shortcut after rebooting, or just randomly. | 22:48 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | I guess you would call it zee Quicklauncher? | 22:49 |
| favro | dummkopf_jenkins: whay was the command you gave the launcher to use? | 22:50 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | favro, I pointed it to Konsole, I run KDE 3/5/8. | 22:51 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | but command of application I pointed it too is "konsole" | 22:51 |
| Vermux | cant connect to the network for some reason, the interface wont be up. Who can help? | 22:51 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | favro, it appears that I have 2 konsoles | 22:52 |
| favro | that should be ok - sometimes full path helps... - try /usr/bin/konsole | 22:52 |
| favro | ohh | 22:52 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | one is bash when started and the other is konsole when started | 22:52 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | I removed gnome and went with KDE so maybe it is remenant of gnome? | 22:52 |
| favro | in konsole which konsole will tell the one that is used | 22:53 |
| favro | !purekde | dummkopf_jenkins | 22:53 |
| ubottu | dummkopf_jenkins: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 22:53 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | I followed the purekde document entirely with no issues | 22:53 |
| favro | k :) | 22:53 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | when I click the konsole shortcut I have on my quicklauncher it opens a terminal with "bash" in it, if I go to Help it says stuff about "Konsole help" etc. | 22:54 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | but if I choose the other Konsole in my menu it says "Konsole" at the top and when clicking Help it says things about "Konsole" as well | 22:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dummkopf_jenkins: did you install kde 4 at any point? | 22:54 |
| Daisuke_Ido | even if you're not using it | 22:55 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | Daisuke_Ido, yes, and quickly removed it lol | 22:55 |
| Daisuke_Ido | could still have the kde4 konsole | 22:55 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | ahh | 22:55 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | is it possible to remove the one I don't like? | 22:55 |
| favro | try the which konsole command and see where the two konsoles are | 22:56 |
| favro | one should be /usr/bin/konsole | 22:56 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | lol both are /usr/bin/konsole | 22:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | two entries pointing to the same executable | 22:57 |
| Daisuke_Ido | try which konsole-kde4 | 22:58 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | Daisuke_Ido, that returned nothing | 22:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | k | 22:58 |
| Daisuke_Ido | then it's just two duplicate entries | 22:59 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | yeah, it's strange. On the menu under "Utilities" I have a "Terminal", if I go to "System" I have 2 entries for "Konsole" one of which has the console icon and the other has a blank paper icon look too it | 22:59 |
| === miguel is now known as Guest21027 | ||
| dummkopf_jenkins | if I click the "Terminal" from "Utilities" it does nothing | 23:00 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | as the command for it is "gnome-terminal" | 23:00 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | I just deleted that one | 23:01 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | found the problem | 23:01 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | :) | 23:01 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the blank paper one was probably the kde4 verison, you can remove that one | 23:01 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | yeah it was, I just deleted it from zee menu :D | 23:01 |
| favro | dummkopf_jenkins: I would do kdesu konqueor /usr/bin then click each konsole so it opens - then delete the one you don't want | 23:01 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | now if I can make the konsole transparent heh would make things easier as I read websites trying out MySQL queries :D | 23:02 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | it seems to only be transparent if I have all windows minimized save the konsole/desktop background | 23:03 |
| favro | I use eterm for transparency | 23:03 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | hmm I shall look into that :D | 23:04 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | does compiz-fusion work with kde? | 23:05 |
| favro | !compiz | 23:05 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion | 23:05 |
| favro | dummkopf_jenkins: yep | 23:06 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | nice, I had it installed when I was using gnome so it's installed already :) | 23:06 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | hmm, I have no "Desktop Effects" in that menu | 23:07 |
| dummkopf_jenkins | is KDE4 better than 3.5.8? I tried it but it seemed to run at a snails pace and I didn't like the graphical changes (everything was sooooo HUGE!) lol | 23:11 |
| micheal | hi | 23:11 |
| hixxx | hoi, just switched to Konversation client. is there a way to detach chatwindows? or switch to a non-tabbed view at all? | 23:19 |
| LeeJunFan | hixxx: there's a way to switch to non-tabbed but I don't think you can detatch. That would be nice. | 23:22 |
| olskolirc | hey guys. how to i dot my kmix so that I can record from my sound card please | 23:22 |
| LeeJunFan | hixxx: go to settings, and on tabs set placement to left. | 23:24 |
| LeeJunFan | olskolirc: you have to select capture and capture sources like mic. | 23:24 |
| hixxx | LeeJunFan: thank you. (digging into setting :) ) | 23:24 |
| hixxx | Not exactly what i looked for. want to open more than just one chan same time :) thank you tho | 23:27 |
| LeeJunFan | hixxx: yeah, for that you'll need another client. maybe xchat can do that? or kvirc if that's still in development. | 23:28 |
| hixxx | Yes, back to xchat :) | 23:29 |
| hixxx | native kde-app wd've been nice | 23:29 |

| anom01y | anyone know how to get audacity to record the output of mplayer ? | 23:47 |
| Denise | oh | 23:48 |
| anom01y | no matter what options I select, or volume slides I turn up I can only get audacity to record microphone input | 23:49 |
| anom01y | I guess it would be a kmix thing | 23:49 |
