| leumas | genii: this is d new error:chown: `leumas:leumas': invalid group | 00:45 |
| genii | Pici: Because his original error signalled something in the .kde directory specifically | 00:45 |

| leumas | genii: ok got it | 00:56 |
| grendal_prime | sorry wrong window | 00:56 |
| genii | grendal_prime: Ys, in the packagename.postinst scripts | 00:57 |
| BluesKaj | Search4Lancer, copy and paste the ISO to the cdrom in my computer and a windows box will open after the file transfers , choose "burn data to cd" in the opotion box usually on the left | 00:58 |
| genii | grendal_prime: Sorry, packagename.postrm | 00:59 |
| genii | Also packagename.prerm | 00:59 |

| LeeJunFan_ | say I add myself to a group in a konsole, and I want to operate on a file that group has permission to do. Is there any way I can get it to recognize I'm part of that group now w/o logging out/in? | 04:50 |
| NickPresta | ep, perhaps `du -k | sort -nr` | 04:51 |
| Hydrant2 | arrgh... my Kubuntu is still blank | 04:52 |
| LeeJunFan_ | ep: find . -maxdepth 1 | du -sk {}\ ; | sort -nr | 04:54 |
| LeeJunFan_ | will tell you the size of every dir/file in your current dir - including hidden. | 04:54 |
| ep | okay thanks | 04:54 |
| LeeJunFan_ | sry, that's not right. | 04:55 |
| LeeJunFan_ | just a sec. | 04:55 |
| LeeJunFan_ | find . -maxdepth 1 -exec du -sk {} \; | sort -nr | 04:55 |
| LeeJunFan_ | ep: ^^ | 04:56 |
| ep | got it that does sub directories? | 04:56 |
| LeeJunFan_ | well, it'll tell you how much a dir holds, including all it's subs. | 04:56 |
| ep | ok | 04:57 |
| LeeJunFan_ | So when you identify the large one you can cd into it and then run that command again. | 04:57 |
| Hydrant2 | oh great... nvidia 9600gt isn't supported | 04:58 |
| ep | LeeJunFan_: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|' | 04:58 |
| NickPresta | ep, does 'du -k | sort -nr' not do what you want? | 04:59 |
| ep | NickPresta: no it gives me lines such as | 05:01 |
| ep | 4 ./.mozilla/firefox/lami9fou.default/extensions | 05:01 |
| Hydrant2 | are there debs for the latest nvidia drivers ? | 05:01 |
| NickPresta | ep, yeah, which is the size of the files. You want the ones at the top... | 05:02 |
| ep | the top was truncated :) I did this in konsole. Lots of files | 05:03 |
| Agent_bob | ep so scroll up | 05:04 |
| NickPresta | ep, you can `less` the results, if you want | 05:04 |
| === bloodoby is now known as bloodboy | ||
| ep | ok | 05:05 |
| * Agent_bob normally sets the scroll back buffer for konsole to about 5000 lines.... i don't recall what the default is. something around 500 maybe ? | 05:05 | |
| Agent_bob | and an fyi in console the scroll back buffer is determined by the vidio ram avalable to the kernel not adjustable | 05:07 |
| NickPresta | Agent_bob, I think the default is only 100 | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | NickPresta hmmm that's low... can even be set to "unlimited" | 05:10 |

| boozer_ | other what? | 05:58 |
| CoJaBo | It connects the first time to any other wireless I've tried. But mine it takes up to 20 tries before it connects. | 05:59 |
| boozer_ | is it the card ? | 06:00 |
| boozer_ | I hear stories about wacky cards | 06:00 |

| Agent_bob | kubuntero heh i don't C++ it ??? | 06:03 |
| kubuntero | ++K | 06:03 |
| CoJaBo | Never 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 |

| MattP | joegeek, how r u getting on with the static IP address | 08:02 |
| Agent_bob | !packages | jassim75 | 08:02 |
| ubottu | jassim75: 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 |
| jassim75 | Mattp- I have been using Windows forever!!! i bored ineed something new and safe. | 08:03 |
| MattP | jassim75, yes, this was the most difficult aspect for me to get over | 08:03 |
| jassim75 | Mattp- Thanks | 08:03 |
| MattP | ok, the basic concept is that you do not need CD-ROM's to install stuff, and you cant go to a website like download.com | 08:03 |
| MattP | to install stuff | 08:03 |
| Agent_bob | jassim75 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 |
| joegeek | MattP: ifconfig gives me what i wanna see,.. but i cant ping anything,... | 08:05 |
| MattP | ALL software is kept in a 'reposity', you access this by using a package manager | 08:06 |
| jassim75 | Agent_bob- i am tryign to start fresh. | 08:06 |
| MattP | in the 'start' button go into 'system' 'package manager' | 08:07 |
| MattP | ok, so joegeek, are you saying that you have a static IP address and you are now connecting to the wireless router | 08:07 |

| MattP | jassim75, please tell me of your bamboozelment | 08:26 |
| MattP | jassim75, I see your confusion. let me explain | 08:26 |
| MattP | when you start your computer, does it say ubuntu or kubuntu ? | 08:27 |
| jassim75 | its says ubuntu. | 08:27 |
| Agent_bob | jassim75 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 | !kubuntu | 08:28 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 08:28 |
| Agent_bob | !xubuntu | 08:28 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 08:28 |
| Agent_bob | it is possable to have both kde and gnome installed as many of us do have. i have about 9 desktop environments in this ubuntu system. | 08:29 |
| jassim75 | ok i will try this out now... | 08:30 |
| MattP | jassim75, this is a new concept for someone coming from windows, and it can be a bit confusing | 08:30 |
| === Alex135_ is now known as Alex135 | ||
| MattP | you see with windows xp, you can change the menu to look fancy or you can have the classic look | 08:31 |
| Agent_bob | you can use any of the applications from other desktops inside any desktop, it's just that most are designed and compiled with a specific target DE = desktop environment | 08:31 |
| jassim75 | Mattp- you are right .. i am gettign confused... but its kind of cool... it keeps my mind busy. | 08:31 |
| MattP | and that is about it with windows. with Linux you have completly change every aspect of your system | 08:32 |
| jassim75 | i will more that happy not to go bakc to windows... | 08:33 |
| MattP | in this channel, we use kubuntu which uses 'kde', ubuntu uses 'gnome' | 08:33 |
| jassim75 | ok.. i have done this "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"and just finished ... what next? | 08:34 |
| MattP | jassim75, lol my good friend, you have installed xubuntu, this is good, but is not what we using in this channel | 08:36 |
| jassim75 | ok... i am confused... | 08:37 |
| Agent_bob | jassim75 to switch DE's you normall want to log out and click the options button at the login screen select session and login | 08:37 |
| Agent_bob | jassim75 i think you failed to notice i mentioned several DE's ^ up there. | 08:37 |
| Agent_bob | !kubuntu > jassim75 | 08:38 |
| ubottu | jassim75, please see my private message | 08:38 |
| Agent_bob | !xubuntu > jassim75 | 08:38 |
| jassim75 | opps;) | 08:38 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 08:38 |
| MattP | Agent_bob, do you know which package installs kde4? | 08:38 |
| Agent_bob | MattP i know the infonode | 08:38 |
| Agent_bob | !kde4 | 08:39 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.1.1 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 08:39 |
| Agent_bob | MattP i'm still running dapper drake here. but i do try to kinda keep up with the infonodes the bot uses. | 08:39 |
| Agent_bob | !attitude | just an fyi about the help you find here in #kubuntu. | 08:41 |
| ubottu | just an fyi about the help you find here in #kubuntu.: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:41 |
| MattP | Agent_bob, I think that you are very wise, it is my sugestion for jassim75 is to install kde4, which I am using intredip 8.10 | 08:41 |
| MattP | jassim75, when you login to your computer and use xubuntu, please bear in mind that xubuntu is aimed at older hardware | 08:42 |
| Agent_bob | MattP intrepid is still beta please don't advise beginners to use beta software. "and that's not an accusation, just a request for future referance" | 08:43 |
| CoderCR | Well I am on KDE4 | 08:43 |
| CoderCR | any recommendations for window themes? Oxygen kinda blows. | 08:43 |
| MattP | agent_bob, my good friend, I would never recommend to a beginner to use intrepid, the experince my not be good! however I do not know the apt-get install for kde4 which is what I wanted for our friend jassim75 | 08:44 |
| jassim75 | so guys.. for me as a begginner.. which easier for a start ..kubuntu or ubuntu?? | 08:45 |
| MattP | CoderCR, I use elegance, but if you do not like this, you can always use get hot new stuff | 08:45 |
| CoderCR | yeah.. I will check it out.. | 08:45 |
| CoderCR | KDE4 is sweet | 08:46 |
| CoderCR | really nice new toolbar and desktop | 08:46 |
| MattP | CoderCR, sweet is KDE4 | 08:47 |
| MattP | jassim75, it is a matter of opinion, for me I perfer kubuntu | 08:47 |
| jassim75 | Mattp- i will try kubuntu out:) | 08:48 |
| Agent_bob | jassim75 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 |
| CoderCR | which elegance? | 08:50 |
| Agent_bob | and that is over simplified ^ | 08:50 |
| MattP | jassim75, please do so, for me, KDE has some cool features, phonon, plasma, nepomuk to name a few | 08:50 |
| MattP | these will change the way we use our computers - it really is exciting | 08:50 |
| Agent_bob | "Q. what do linux users do?" | 08:51 |
| Agent_bob | "A. they install software." | 08:51 |
| CoderCR | Gnome is a simple fast desktop | 08:51 |
| jassim75 | ok i will try it out... an dwill decide myself .... | 08:51 |
| CoderCR | kde is more complex but less customizations. | 08:51 |
| Agent_bob | heh. in many cases that's to true to be funny but to funny to be sad. | 08:51 |
| CoderCR | Linux is good :) | 08:51 |
| Reed_Solomon | less customizations wat? | 08:51 |
| MattP | CoderCR, elegance - Destop settings | desktop theme | 08:51 |
| Agent_bob | <CoderCR> kde is more complex but less customizations. <<< what ? | 08:52 |
| CoderCR | Mattp: which version of elegance though. like 20 came up | 08:52 |
| Veliouras | hello | 08:53 |
| Veliouras | i would like to convert a pdf file to a txt or csv format | 08:53 |
| MattP | CoderCR - downloads - 4052 - if that helps? | 08:53 |
| Reed_Solomon | Veliouras, does openoffice do that? | 08:54 |
| Veliouras | reed_solomon i don't think so | 08:54 |
| Reed_Solomon | okular exports as plain text | 08:55 |
| Reed_Solomon | theres also always the pdf2txt commandline program | 08:55 |
| Reed_Solomon | pdftotext | 08:55 |
| Reed_Solomon | or pdftohtml as well | 08:55 |
| CoderCR | MattP: guess not.. lol.. brb. | 08:55 |

| DarkSmoke | why is linux not chaniling my sound on 5 speakers? | 09:21 |
| DarkSmoke | only 2 are working :s | 09:21 |
| DarkSmoke | on windows all 5 work | 09:21 |
| DarkSmoke | and the subwoofer | 09:21 |
| Agent_bob | !sound | been here ? | 09:22 |
| ubottu | been here ?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 09:22 |
| DarkSmoke | the sound system is enabled | 09:22 |
| DarkSmoke | my problem is the sound is working on 2 speakers only | 09:22 |
| DarkSmoke | the 3 no sound | 09:22 |
| DarkSmoke | and neither the subwoofer is working | 09:22 |
| Agent_bob | the troubleshooting page was the intent | 09:23 |
| DarkSmoke | i setted 6channel in kmixer but no luck | 09:23 |
| DarkSmoke | ok | 09:23 |
| Agent_bob | DarkSmoke and "no, i don't know much about sound personally". | 09:23 |
| Agent_bob | DarkSmoke i do know that there is an #alsa channel here on freenode if all else fails. | 09:24 |

| DarkSmoke | what ActionParsnip1? i should install the drivers from the realtek website? | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkSmoke: looks that way, grab build-essential and get compiling | 10:31 |
| DarkSmoke | ok | 10:31 |
| DarkSmoke | is it like a propriety driver like for nvidia? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkSmoke: its made by realtek but you are compiling source,so its open source | 10:32 |
| DarkSmoke | so its different from the built-in kernel one? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkSmoke: i couldnt tell you, i have no idea | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkSmoke: i use 2.1 and its fine out of the box | 10:33 |
| DarkSmoke | ActionParsnip1: if its the same like the built-in one it won't fix anything | 10:35 |
| DarkSmoke | cause my sound is working, its just acting like a 2.1 instead of 5.1 | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | DarkSmoke: its worth a try, you can always roll back | 10:36 |

| RickZilla | I ran ubuntu pretty successfully last night...just wanted to look at all my options before I settled on on distro | 16:26 |

| noaXess | i have a skype tool to send sms over command line.. send_sms.py number text | 16:52 |

| noaXess | #kubuntu-es | pipetux | 16:54 |
| pipetux | gracias | 16:55 |
| stdin | noaXess: send_sms.py number $(cat filename.txt) | 16:56 |
| noaXess | stdin: thanks.. this works from command line.. but not from the script hooks in kaddressbook :( | 16:58 |
| noaXess | - /home/me/apps/send_sms.py '%N' $(cat %F) | 16:59 |
| noaXess | % F should be the temp file that kaddressbook create with the sms text | 16:59 |
| stdin | noaXess: probably because kaddressbook runs the command without a shell, for security | 16:59 |
| noaXess | hm.. | 16:59 |
| noaXess | if i do send_sms.py %N %F it sends the tmp filename.. /tmp/kde-me/kaddressbookErdet.tmp | 17:00 |
| noaXess | as text :) | 17:00 |

| novacrasher | well I have given up on the tv thing but does anyone know how to use gmail to check a hotmail account? | 17:05 |
| o0Chris0o | hmm use gmail to check hotmail? I dont' think that is possible o.0 | 17:05 |
| novacrasher | well that sucks. why not? | 17:06 |
| Tm_T | because you talk about web services that are both from totally different company and totally different way done | 17:07 |
| stdin | noaXess: I could probably modify the script to make it work... | 17:07 |
| novacrasher | yea true but there should still be a way. the old outlook express for windows used to be able to do it. | 17:07 |
| novacrasher | thanks stdin. I will dig around. maybe someone has already written a script to do just that. | 17:08 |
| noaXess | stdin: i'm on it :) | 17:09 |
| stdin | noaXess: done: http://pastebin.com/f2c9268d3 | 17:11 |
| stdin | just add -f to the command to read from a file | 17:11 |
| thuanlove | hello | 17:12 |
| novacrasher | stdin: is this the code for checking hotmail with gmail? | 17:12 |
| genii | novacrasher: MythWeb is soon supposed to have support for streaming TV embedded within Flash. But I'm not sure this is what you were asking about | 17:13 |
| stdin | novacrasher: no, for sms with skype. if hotmail has the ability to forward emails then you can just set hotmail to forward to your gmail account | 17:13 |
| * genii hands stdin a coffee | 17:14 | |
| noaXess | okay | 17:14 |
| novacrasher | thanks genil I will look into that | 17:15 |
| stdin | noaXess: so " /home/me/apps/send_sms.py -f '%N' '%F' " should be the command | 17:15 |
| stdin | and I'll send a patch to the original author | 17:15 |
| o0Chris0o_ | how do I download libpurple0 from http://www.getdeb.net/release/3140 whenever I click to download it, it opens in kate | 17:19 |

| o0Chris0o_ | ahh save link ass | 17:21 |
| o0Chris0o_ | oops | 17:21 |
| o0Chris0o_ | as | 17:21 |
| o0Chris0o_ | by any chance how would I install a deb from command line pidgin for example | 17:22 |
| stdin | you can use gdebi-kde or "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb", but gdebi will install the dependencies | 17:23 |
| benbread | Hey i'm connecting to internet through VPN with proxy but putting the proxy info into kubuntu system settings doesn't seem to be working (e.g adept can't download headers, ping doesn't work) - is there any better way i can see what is going on? thanks :) | 17:24 |
| benbread | No i take it back it's just adept, maybe it's blocked | 17:27 |
| o0Chris0o_ | stdin: so I install gdebi-kde? or | 17:30 |
| stdin | o0Chris0o_: it should be pre-installed | 17:31 |
| o0Chris0o_ | ahh its a command line command | 17:31 |
| stdin | you can start it from the command line, but it's a GUI | 17:32 |
| stdin | it *should* be associated with .deb files, but some servers say it's actually a text file (so kate opens it) | 17:33 |
| o0Chris0o_ | hmm I tried it, but I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/49738/ | 17:33 |
| stdin | o0Chris0o_: look at the window that opens | 17:34 |
| o0Chris0o_ | its ablank window says error | 17:34 |
| stdin | you should run "gdebi-kde /path/to/file.deb" | 17:34 |
| o0Chris0o_ | oh wait wrong folder | 17:34 |
| o0Chris0o_ | hmm says package file doesn't exist | 17:36 |
| stdin | where did you save it? | 17:36 |
| o0Chris0o_ | my desktop | 17:36 |
| o0Chris0o_ | I'm in my ~/Desktop folder | 17:37 |
| stdin | and "ls" shows it? | 17:37 |
| o0Chris0o_ | weird, no it doesnt....it just lists the libpurple0 | 17:37 |
| stdin | ins't that what you're trying to install? | 17:38 |
| o0Chris0o_ | well I downloaded 3 files from getdeb, to install the latest pidgin | 17:39 |
| o0Chris0o_ | libpurple0 was one of them | 17:39 |
| stdin | o0Chris0o_: I guess you need to make sure they are all downloaded to the same place and install them | 17:40 |
| o0Chris0o_ | they are thats the thing lol | 17:41 |

| rickest | so I was just making sure | 21:07 |
| Daisuke_Ido | not to mention packages from getdeb aren't supported | 21:07 |
| o0Chris0o_ | PIDGIN, if you were reading, I corrected myself awhile back :) | 21:08 |
| genii | o0Chris0o_: 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-requisites | 21:11 |
| o0Chris0o_ | yeah I already isntalled them using gedbi-kde but when I type pidgin nothing happens | 21:11 |
| rickest | o0Chris0o_: good luck, I'd help some more but apparently I need to go practice up on my reading skills | 21:15 |
| genii | o0Chris0o_: 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.deb | 21:15 |
| judgen | Anyone tried mozilla-qt? | 21:16 |
| o0Chris0o_ | rickest: np since I typ'd the same thing like 3 times | 21:20 |
| o0Chris0o_ | genii: I'll try that | 21:20 |
| Koordin | hi, how can i show hidden files in kde4.1 ? (dolphin 1.1) | 21:25 |
| o0Chris0o_ | Koordin: in Dolopin go to View and click on Show hidden files | 21:27 |
| o0Chris0o_ | ahh 4.1 not sure | 21:27 |
| o0Chris0o_ | genii: I get this when I do the libpurple0 first http://paste.ubuntu.com/49829/ | 21:27 |
| genii | o0Chris0o_: 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.deb | 21:30 |
| o0Chris0o_ | alright thanks | 21:30 |
| o0Chris0o_ | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 21:31 |
| o0Chris0o_ | libpurple0: Depends: libsilc-1.1-2 but it is not going to be installed | 21:31 |
| o0Chris0o_ | nvm I think I got it | 21:32 |
| pipetux | quien me manda el español? | 21:33 |
| genii | !es | 21:33 |
| ubottu | 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. | 21:33 |
| pipetux | gracias | 21:34 |
| o0Chris0o_ | genii: Thanks! it works :D | 21:34 |
| o0Chris0o_ | genii: how do you know which file to install first? | 21:34 |
| genii | o0Chris0o_: You should have it now on the Kmenu...Internet list | 21:34 |
| o0Chris0o_ | Correct, I do | 21:35 |
| genii | o0Chris0o_: Trial and error, I did it myself earlier | 21:35 |
| o0Chris0o_ | I see, thanks :D | 21:35 |
| genii | np | 21:35 |
| Daisuke_Ido | genii: if they're all in the same directory, i think dpkg -i * will do it | 21:36 |
| genii | Daisuke_Ido: Probably :) | 21:36 |
| notham | Has anyone installed on the ACER Aspire One? | 21:36 |
| o0Chris0o_ | I'll remember that too when I install others | 21:36 |
| nielsslot | notham: i have | 21:37 |
| notham | On my friends system, the livecd didn't see the solidstate drive; is there something special that needs to be loaded? | 21:38 |
| nielsslot | no idea.. i installed it on the model with a hard drive | 21:39 |
| nielsslot | but this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne has almost everything you should know | 21:39 |
| chrisinajar | so kcachegrind tells me that i need to pass --dump-instr=yes to valgrind, but valgrind does not know that command | 21:43 |

| fzl | it soemetimes reconnects on its own which is better but sometimes not | 22:02 |

| Machtin | hey.. how to synchronize audio and video stream of a movie? | 22:46 |
| judgen | wanted there is Valknut for KDE and dc_gui for gnome. | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | Machtin, if they are a littel out of sync during playback. mplayer and others often have a delay setting/keys to up/lower the delay | 22:49 |
| Machtin | dr_willis: do you by chance know whether kaffeine has such? | 22:53 |
| dr_willis | I never use kaffine. check its menus/docs/help file/key settings | 22:53 |
| dr_willis | i know mplayer does | 22:54 |
| spare_krutten_ | Help. Something in Kubuntu is overwriting my resolve.conf continously. I updated System Setting->Network (as my ISP's DNS is down) but some other program appears to overwrite it as well. | 22:54 |
| Machtin | okay, thanks so far :) | 22:54 |
| dwidmann | spare_krutten_: yeah, it's supposed to do that .. forget why exactly. You need to edit this somewhere else. | 22:54 |
| dr_willis | spare_krutten_, i recall some bug ages ago that cased that... but i havent seen it mentioned in ages. I thought it got fixed. | 22:54 |
| dwidmann | spare_krutten_: I do believe resolv.conf is actually auto-generated | 22:55 |
| 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 job | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | spare_krutten_, could just write protect the file. :) | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | but yea. theres some bug i recall with that. | 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 |
| dwidmann | spare_krutten_: and the particular "somewhere else" I had in mind looks like /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 23:00 |
| dr_willis | you may want to check the forums - ive seen this bug befor. but dont rember the reason or the fix | 23:01 |
| spare_krutten_ | it looks like 'prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220;' in dhclient.conf might work | 23:06 |

| snude | is ACPI needed for composite? | 23:29 |
| snude | http://rafb.net/p/hTnjdv61.html I cant get composite enabled. | 23:29 |
| snude | thats my xorg.conf and log file | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | snude, i dont think so | 23:35 |
| snude | so why isnt this working? | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | No idea. | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | I do know that acpi is for powersaveing and other features of the bios. Shouldent have anything to do with video | 23:36 |
