geniigrendal_prime: Sorry, packagename.postrm00:59
geniiAlso packagename.prerm00:59

leumasgenii: ok01:01
geniiBecause the first username made gets user id of 1000 and group id of 1000 also, whatever the name happens to be01:02

CoJaBoNever tried any other OS on that one.  I had what might have been the same problem on several other computers (with different wireless cards) with several linux distros (all KDE), but I just gave up after about 5 tries on them so I don't know if it would have worked..06:03

MattPjassim75 - it is a little different to other operating systems.  r u finding your way around ok?07:53
jassim75actually i am very exicted and i am tyring to understand how it works07:56
jassim75Mttp- what are you guys discussing??07:57
MattPjassim75, joegeek is having difficulty connecting to a wireless network07:58
MattPwe are trying to work out why07:58
MattPjassim75, may I ask which version of Kubuntu you are using?07:58
jassim75Mattp- I am using ubuntu 8.0408:00
MattPjassim75 - a very good version.  How are you finding it?08:01
ngirardHi all. I'm using freenx to connect remotely to my Kubuntu box. Each time I close a window by clicking the "close" button, I get disconnected. How can I avoid this ?08:01
Agent_bobdon't click the close button ?      sorry couldn't resist.08:02
jassim75so far its ok... i am trying to fugure out how things are installed and configured.08:02
ngirardAgent_bob: ah ah ah. Excellent08:02
MattPjoegeek, how r u getting on with the static IP address08:02
Agent_bob!packages | jassim7508:02
ubottujassim75: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!08:02
jassim75Mattp- I have been using Windows forever!!! i bored  ineed something new and safe.08:03
MattPjassim75, yes, this was the most difficult aspect for me to get over08:03
jassim75Mattp- Thanks08:03
MattPok, the basic concept is that you do not need CD-ROM's to install stuff, and you cant go to a website like download.com08:03
MattPto install stuff08:03
Agent_bobjassim75 and one word to the wise.   forget everything you think you know about computers. and start with a blank slate,  it's much easier to learn linux if you aren't constantly fighting preconceeved false notions.08:04
joegeekMattP: ifconfig gives me what i wanna see,..  but i cant ping anything,...08:05
MattPALL software is kept in a 'reposity', you access this by using a package manager08:06
jassim75Agent_bob- i am tryign to start fresh.08:06
MattPin the 'start' button go into 'system' 'package manager'08:07
MattPok, so joegeek, are you saying that you have a static IP address and you are now connecting to the wireless router08:07
joegeekMattP: i dont know if im connected or not,..  how can i tell?08:08
MattPwhat make of router is it?08:08

MattPjassim75, please tell me of your bamboozelment08:26
MattPjassim75, I see your confusion. let me explain08:26
MattPwhen you start your computer, does it say ubuntu or kubuntu ?08:27
jassim75its says ubuntu.08:27
Agent_bobjassim75 ubuntu is the distrobution of linux that you now have. and the default desktop environment for ubuntu is "gnome" but there are specaial installation disks that have "different defaults" amongst them is "kubuntu" which has "kde" as it's default desktop env.08:28
Agent_bob!kubuntu08:28
ubottuKubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE08:28

jassim75Mattp- i will try kubuntu out:)08:48
Agent_bobjassim75 easier isn't really a practical querry there.   both are about equally polished,   it's more a matter of  "do you like to right click and configure things, or do you prefer to have someone else configure most things and just ues a theme to change the general appearance?"   kde -vs- gnome in a nut shell.08:49
CoderCRwhich elegance?08:50

DarkSmokewhat ActionParsnip1? i should install the drivers from the realtek website?10:30
ActionParsnip1DarkSmoke: looks that way, grab build-essential and get compiling10:31
DarkSmokeok10:31
DarkSmokeis it like a propriety driver like for nvidia?10:31
ActionParsnip1DarkSmoke: its made by realtek but you are compiling source,so its open source10:32
DarkSmokeso its different from the built-in kernel one?10:32
ActionParsnip1DarkSmoke: i couldnt tell you, i have no idea10:32
ActionParsnip1DarkSmoke: i use 2.1 and its fine out of the box10:33
DarkSmokeActionParsnip1: if its the same like the built-in one it won't fix anything10:35
DarkSmokecause my sound is working, its just acting like a 2.1 instead of 5.110:35

rickesto0Chris0o_: having come from an external site, that package may not include the KDE menu stuff.  You'll have to edit your KMenu manually and add it, presumably.  first see if your app works by just running 'pidgin' (pidgwin?) from a cmdline20:53

Machtinhi guys.. how can i resynchronize sound and picture of a movie? (the sound is played before the fitting part of the movie is)20:55
Machtinabout 0.5 to 1s i'd say20:55
o0Chris0o_rickest: alright I'll try that21:01
o0Chris0o_nope:( says its not currently installed.21:02
rickestis it pidgwin or pidgin or what?21:06
geniiIt's Pidgin    formerly known as Gaim21:06
rickestI know about that one but he's either talking about something else or he's typo'd the same thing like 3 times21:07
rickestso I was just making sure21:07
Daisuke_Idonot to mention packages from getdeb aren't supported21:07
o0Chris0o_PIDGIN, if you were reading, I corrected myself awhile back :)21:08
geniio0Chris0o_: There were 3 downloads you needed off that site. The main one, then libpurple0 and also pidgin-data      You install the libpurple0 one first, then the pidgin-data one then the main one. The first two are pre-requisites21:11
o0Chris0o_yeah I already isntalled them using gedbi-kde but when I type pidgin nothing happens21:11
rickesto0Chris0o_: good luck, I'd help some more but apparently I need to go practice up on my reading skills21:15
geniio0Chris0o_: Put all three files into some folder on the desktop like for instance one named pidgin. Then in konsole go there with: cd ~/Desktop/pidgin             then manually try install with: sudo dpkg -i libpurple0_2.5.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb    then:  sudo dpkg -i pidgin-data_2.5.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb   and finally: sudo dpkg -i pidgin_2.5.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb21:15
judgenAnyone tried mozilla-qt?21:16

o0Chris0o_genii: I get this when I do the libpurple0 first http://paste.ubuntu.com/49829/21:27
geniio0Chris0o_: try first: sudo apt-get install lesstif2        and then: sudo apt-get install libmozjs0d                    and then again with the sudo dpkg -i libpurple0_2.5.1-1~getdeb1_i386.deb21:30

spare_krutten_I currently have to type echo nameserver 4.2.2.2 >/etc/resolv.conf every minute to stay up.  was going to turn it into a cron job22:55
dr_willisspare_krutten_,  could just write protect the file. :)22:55

spare_krutten_NetworkManager used to update it, now something else is.22:55
spare_krutten_dr_willis: thats a good idea.22:55
dwidmannspare_krutten_: and the particular "somewhere else" I had in mind looks like /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf23:00
