OzoneNerdI have a laptop and I was wondering if any one else has the following problem:  When I'm typing for a while sometimes my mouse acts as if it was clicked.  This is annoying because it causes me to either lose focus on the text box or start typing in the middle of what I had already typed.  I don't see this happen when I use the same computer under Windows XP.01:37
coreymon77you sure youre not accidentaly touching your trackpad?01:37
coreymon77i sometimes do that when typing notes at school01:38
OzoneNerdcoreymon77: I thought it may be that, but that doesn't explain why I don't see it under Windows.01:39
coreymon77fluke?01:40
OzoneNerdcoreymon77: It may be some difference in settings, perhaps Kubuntu is more sensitive...01:40
coreymon77my guess is that your palm is just accidentally touching the trackpad when typing01:40
OzoneNerdDoes anyone know of a mouse sensitivity setting under kubuntu.01:40
OzoneNerdcoreymon77: It may well be a fluke too.01:41
coreymon77look in system prefs01:41
coreymon77under mouse01:41
OzoneNerdsystem prefs = system settings?01:41
coreymon77should be there01:41
coreymon77thats what i meant01:41
OzoneNerdThe only applicable one I see is pointer threshold which is specified in pixels.01:42
OzoneNerdThat probably determines whether a widget should get clicked on though.01:42
coreymon77i dunno01:43
coreymon77look around in the settings01:43
coreymon77check google about adjusting trackpad sensitivity01:43
OzoneNerdI get this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4952350  I don't see any sensitivity slider.01:45
OzoneNerdI'll try editing the xorg.conf ... CAREFULLY...01:46
coreymon77dont01:46
coreymon77do some more google searching01:47
coreymon77maybe specify kubuntu rather than ubuntu01:47
tacosarecoolHello02:09
tacosarecoolIs my console suppose to say user@user-desktop02:10
tacosarecoolThe -desktop part seems weird02:10
coreymon77no02:10
coreymon77its fine02:10
tacosarecoolOk02:10
coreymon77thats your computer name02:10
Daisuke_Idotacosarecool: that's also configurable once you get into linux a bit02:13
Daisuke_Idomine is user@lappy-486 (i'm a bit of a strongbad fan)02:13
coreymon77meh, i hav a naming scheme for all of my electronics02:15
coreymon77i always do C (the first letter of my name) followed by what the thing is02:16
tacosarecoolThis command won't work for some reason I'll just keep on trying it02:23
DreadKnight!virtualbox02:26
ubottuvirtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox02:26
=== emma_ is now known as emma
DreadKnightanyone knows a guide for how to recompile the virtualbox kernel module?02:27
coreymon77vrtualbox?02:27
ign0ramusDreadKnight: you updated your kernel, and now vbox won't run?02:27
coreymon77why are you using that02:27
coreymon77vmware is much better02:27
DreadKnightign0ramus: something like that :-) happened a lot of times; heard intrepid won't have this issue anymore02:28
DreadKnightcoreymon77: vmware open source? ^^02:28
coreymon77vmware player is02:28
DreadKnight!vmware02:28
ubottuVMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers02:28
ign0ramusDreadKnight: if you download the .deb from Sun, and re-install it, it should work. I had the same issue a few weeks ago02:28
DreadKnightnever used vmware.. only familiar with vbox, the open source edition .. only one i found my way with02:29
ign0ramusDreadKnight: make sure you grab the PUEL version02:29
coreymon77umm, thats the point02:29
coreymon77vmware is much easier to use02:29
coreymon77much more intuitive02:29
coreymon77since vmware as a company has had much more experience with the technology02:29
DreadKnighthmm02:30
DreadKnightign0ramus: ose edition :P02:30
DreadKnightcoreymon77: ok.. so i have some .iso images i wanna try out (linux distros)02:30
DreadKnighthow would i proceed?02:31
ign0ramusvmware player doesn't allow you to create new images02:31
coreymon77much more experience + big corporate backing usually = better/more intutive product02:31
coreymon77ign0ramus: ya, but easyvmx does02:31
DreadKnight:\02:32
coreymon77ign0ramus: plus you could always just download vmware workstation as the 30 day free trial to create the images02:32
coreymon77then use player to run them02:32
DreadKnightseems like more complicated to get into / set up02:32
coreymon77nope02:32
* DreadKnight goes to find out how to recompile kernel module02:32
coreymon77but, if you dont want to bother, than be my guest02:32
DreadKnight:D02:32
DreadKnightit has a GUI at least?02:33
coreymon77yes02:33
ign0ramuscoreymon77: although shared folders in Vbox are a pain... any better in vmware?02:33
coreymon77vmware is entirely gui02:33
coreymon77ign0ramus: seamless from what i have seen02:33
coreymon77well, nearly02:33
DreadKnightign0ramus: www.getdropbox.com    best thing for sharing/back-up/sync02:33
ign0ramuscoreymon77: well, once they're set up in Vbox, they work fine, but setting them up is a pain02:33
coreymon77vmware is entirely gui based02:34
coreymon77so, i tend to find it much easier is aspects such as those02:34
ign0ramusDreadKnight: I refuse to back up my personal files on an online database02:34
coreymon77install vmware tools and bingo, nearly seamless02:34
DreadKnightxD02:34
DreadKnighti'm not even sure where to install it from coreymon7702:35
MachinTrucChosehi02:35
ign0ramusDreadKnight: ubottu just told you02:35
coreymon77of course, vmware player, being free and open source, is not vmwares strongest and most inntegrated product, but oh well02:35
coreymon77!vmware | DreadKnight02:35

ign0ramusbut... it's free02:35
coreymon77ign0ramus: exactly02:36
MachinTrucChoseI'm looking for a decent archiver that will integrate with Konqueror. I want to be able to right-click a bunch of files, and have the option to put them in an archive. The default archiver (Ark) fails miserably at this.02:36
DreadKnighti have hardy02:36
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: p7zip?02:36
DreadKnightno vmware-player around..02:36
coreymon77DreadKnight: jsut look at the links02:36
ign0ramusnot sure if that has a gui mode, though :/02:36
coreymon77!info vmware02:36
ubottuPackage vmware does not exist in hardy02:36
MachinTrucChoseign0ramus: how do Linux users typically archive files? They go to the command-line every time?02:37
coreymon77!info vmware-player02:37
ubottuPackage vmware-player does not exist in hardy02:37
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: i don't like admitting this, but i still use winrar under wine just because it is still (imho) the most comprehensive gui-based archiver02:37
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: ark is good for simple tasks, but gui-wise, it fails a lot02:37
ign0ramus!archive02:38
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about archive02:38
MachinTrucChoseign0ramus: probably a good idea. I miss Winrar.02:38
DreadKnightdon't use ark-kde402:38
ign0ramusDreadKnight: i know. sucks hard.02:39
DreadKnight:-)02:39
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: no one here will like this, but honestly, winrar works perfectly in wine02:39
ign0ramusark is also very flaky with encrypted archives02:40
ign0ramusunrar is pretty powerful, but not good if you want a gui02:40
MachinTrucChoseign0ramus: I don't get it, why doesn't someone integrate 7zip or something? I use it at work on my Windows PC, it's pretty decent. How hard would it be to hook it in Konqueror?02:40
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: licensing.02:40
MachinTrucChoseit's FOSS02:40
MachinTrucChoseLGPL license02:41
=== sean is now known as Guest72276
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: from the home page: "Most of the source code is under the GNU LGPL license."02:41
ign0ramusMachinTrucChose: in any event, Kubuntu will most likely use some KDE app as a default archiver... but it's open source, so you do whatever you want02:43
ubuntui just upgraded to ibex, but i cant get networking to work02:44
=== ubuntu is now known as Tinason
ign0ramusTinason: that's nowhere near enough information to even begin troubleshooting02:45
ign0ramusTinason: also, it's still Alpha, isn't it?02:45
ign0ramustry #ubuntu+102:46
Tinasoni installed hardy, networking worked just fine, out of the box . then i put ibex a6 on, and networking doesnt work at all02:46
Tinasonthanks02:46
ign0ramusTinason: #ubuntu+1 is your Intrepid channel, but i definitely see more questions than answers... good luck to you02:47

DreadKnighthow do i add an user to vboxusers group thingy?03:30
DreadKnightcommand line03:30
rlaneI was wondering if KDE 4.1 was good enough to use as an everyday desktop (opinions)? I'm using KDE 3.5.10. Thank  You.03:32
geniiDreadKnight: sudo usermod -G newgroupname username -a                     <-- the -a is uber important otherwise newgroupname is the only group they will belong to03:32
DreadKnightsudo usermod -G vboxusers dread -a03:33
DreadKnight...Usage: usermod [options] LOGIN03:33
DreadKnightgenii: thanks but something wrong.. need to create the group first perhaps?03:35
geniiDreadKnight: Yes the group needs to exist first03:37
geniiDreadKnight: You can try also alternate syntax of:   sudo usermod -G -a vboxusers dread03:37
DreadKnightyeah, i'm making some progress03:38
thedarkhow do I add Japanese input support to Kubuntu 8.04?03:42

DreadKnightgenii: thanks for the help; managed to fix this shit :-) (not the first time i stumble into issues with virtualbox...)03:44

chipbuddyi'm trying to use ssh on my laptop to log into my desktop. when the laptop has a wired connection it works, but when i'm wireless it doesn't. i think it might be because ssh is trying to use the wired connection when i am wireless. does this sound plausible, and how do i fix it?04:13
crzyboi_LaptopAsh-Fox, prbly sometime in october04:13

_2anyone know off hand the minimum CPU and SFB speed needed to play dvd smoothly ?06:41
genii_2: Something like p2 23306:43
geniiWhich ain't much06:43
_2agreed.    so why can't a coppermine 1ghz do it ?06:44
_2and think of who you are talking to before you say "too many other things going on"06:45
geniiswap use perhaps06:45
_2no swap06:45
_2i supose that 512m ram is plenty06:46
geniiTried from mounted iso instead of physical dvd?06:46
_2i've tried just playing the .vob's off the hard drive06:47
_2still runns for a few seconds and skips.    it's like something is overloading and having to catch up06:48
geniiI had a similar issue when streaming from ext filesystems but not xfs06:49
geniinever did track it down exactly06:49
_2this 1ghz is the 'slowest' box i've tried it on,  is why i was asking.06:49
_2you know i'm not sure but i think it may work better from the dvd drive than the hard drive      which flys in the face of reason.06:50
_2err actually maybe it doesn't, they are both ide but seperate channels. so it could be bottlenecking at the ide buffer maybe  ?06:52
_2genii do you think it's the ide bus overloading ?   http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/204206:54
geniigeez 33Mhz06:55
_2that's output of lshw06:56
geniiIs it actually 66? You could set ide=66           or so (exact command I forget now, been long)06:56
_2i think it's actually 100mhz06:57
_2but may be in "compatability mode" in bios because of an old drive ???06:57
_2and yes iirc linux "assumes 33mhz" on everything that doesn't specify06:58
geniiidebus=100       I think06:59
geniimaybe 66 for safety first07:00
_2heh k i'll give that a shot when i reboot.07:00

MikeyLDSjust wondering if somebody could help me choose a linux distro for my dedicated server10:39
MikeyLDSi have the choice between CentOS 4/5 and Red Hat Fedora Core 7 ... any ideas?10:40
ActionParsnipMikeyLDS: go with what you are comfortable configuring10:40
ActionParsnipneSSun0o: well you need to see if its using the one you know works or the old one10:41
neSSun0oyes10:41
MikeyLDSwell, I don't know any of them ActionParsnip :P10:41
neSSun0ohow?10:41
MikeyLDSi use kubuntu on my lappy ... but have never hosted a website before10:42
ActionParsnipMikeyLDS: then you'll have to try a few to see which you prefer10:42
ActionParsnipMikeyLDS: if you like ubuntu, use ubuntu10:42
MikeyLDSthats the problem ... the hosting company is only giving me the option of the 3 that I mentioned10:42
MikeyLDSi was just hoping somebody might be able to point me in the right direction ... whatever I choose I am going to have to stick with ya see10:43
ActionParsnipMikeyLDS: then read reviews of each, its a fairly strange thing to ask a user imho10:43
MikeyLDSreally10:43
MikeyLDSpeople used to be so helpful in here10:43
ActionParsnipneSSun0o: ok is your network interface called wlan010:43
ActionParsnipMikeyLDS: as a user you shouldnt need to worry what OS the hosting has10:44
MikeyLDSmost experienced users that I have met in here have had experience with different flavours10:44
ActionParsnipMikeyLDS: as long as the site stays up etc10:44

Well, I've discovered that the problem was becasue of an exit command, which, as far as I can tell, ends the script and so the rest of the page isn't loaded, even though the php tag has been closed, and it affects the html.13:15
ActionParsnipmilz: id head into #php13:16
ActionParsnipmilz: its not a kubuntu issue, its a coding in php issue13:16

Nece228like kubuntu kde 3 and kubuntu17:01
Assurbanipallittle, i m thinking of seperating system mount point and user(home) mount point.is this a good idea? and where will the data of installed programs be kept?17:03
Assurbanipallittle, any recomendation for those partitions' sizes?17:03
ldpye gods, I'm going to install openSUSE17:03
littleAssurbanipal: Yes, you can do this, and the programs will be kept in the places you define. When creating the home partition, create it under a different name and copy all your stuff over before unmounting and mounting as Home.17:04
mdrOn the desktop version, the default install just makes a swap partition and the one bit parttition for every thing else. No?   I think at least /home should be a seperate partition17:04
littleAssurbanipal: The sizes are what's hotly debated. The best I could suggest would be to take a good look at how much space each directory currently uses and give it at least that with room to spare.17:04
ldpdoesn't ubuntu automatically make seperate /home and / prtitions?17:04
jussi01no17:05
ldpI don't know, because I always partition manually17:05
ldpArch does that17:05
eduardohola17:05

jussi01thanks ldp :)17:07
jussi01Assurbanipal: thae actual files are in the root partition, but if you have a home partition then a lot of the settings are there17:08
mdrcan you put /home and / on seperate partitions after the install is already done?  Or do you need to reinstall17:08
jussi01!home17:08
ubottuYour home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome17:08
littleAssurbanipal: As far as I know, installations would go into specific directories in the root partition. Configuration that you've specified is stored in your Home partition.17:08
jussi01mdr: so thats a yes...17:09

Assurbanipalit is 60GB. but i will also need some space for windows as i use m laptop for work17:12
Assurbanipali hope i won;t waste any space that way,,17:12

ldpMySQL, I hte you17:14

littleAssurbanipal: I recommend looking at how much space you're currently using with the df -h command in a terminal window. Then right-click the /home folder to see how big it is. If you want to create a separate /home partition, you'll need to make it at least as big as it currently is, but most likely bigger so you have room for new files.17:15
littleAssurbanipal: Also, once you decide to repartition, however much space you give to the new /home partition will need to be removed from the / partition so it can be given to the new partition.17:15
littleAssurbanipal: I use http://gparted.sourceforge.net/17:16
littleAssurbanipal: It's a wonderful program which can be run from CD. I've found it to be very stable for resizing partitions. I don't know about everyone else, but I've never lost any data as a result of using it.17:17

Assurbanipalaxel_, i want one partition for the system files and another for the home partition... i also have xp on the systemn21:03
Assurbanipalaxel_, i want a 15gb for the system files partition and 10 for the user (home)21:04
=== willy is now known as Hamra

Assurbanipalaxel_, got 45gb free21:05
Assurbanipalaxel_, unpartitioned space21:05
axel_Assurbanipal: 15gb for the system files is a little bit too much - in my opinion.21:06
axel_Assurbanipal: Do you have any experiences with Linux so far?21:06
Assurbanipalaxel_, ok,10gb then?? it must be enough for future upgrades...21:06

axel_Assurbanipal: Currently my system files are about 5GB.21:07
axel_Assurbanipal: 10 gb should be OK.21:07

Assurbanipalno... not so far,haven't needed it21:08
axel_Assurbanipal: It depends on the programs you install. But I think It21:09
axel_'s OK.21:09
Assurbanipalok, 10 it will be then...21:10
axel_Assurbanipal: Wich programms do you want to install.21:10
Assurbanipalnohting special i think so far... no too many extras.. but i do need to be able to copy dvd's with k9copy for example..21:10
axel_Assurbanipal: Background for the DVD-Question. K3B stores the tmp-files on the system partition. If there is not enough space on this partition you have to change the directory. That's all.21:11
=== emilsedgh is now known as emil|sedgh
Assurbanipalok, so 10 gb will be enough u say21:11
administratorrick u there21:12
administrator??21:12
axel_Assurbanipal: It depends on k9copy stores its tmp-files. Usually you should be able to select the tmp-directory.21:12
axel_Assurbanipal: 10 gb should be enough.21:12
Assurbanipalok, it will be 12gm + 2 gb swap = 15gb, fair enough?21:12
Assurbanipal:D21:12
Assurbanipalhaha i meant 13gb!21:13
sourcemakerist autoremove always safe?21:13
axel_Assurbanipal: 13gb for the system partition?21:13
administratori hav a queation21:13
Assurbanipalyes!21:13
administratori hav a qustion21:13
Assurbanipaland another 10 for the user?21:13
administratortks21:14
administratorAssur can u help m21:14
Assurbanipalor maybe 15gb for the user-total of 30gb21:14
axel_Assurbanipal: I think you will use 50% of it. But OK. Let's move foward.21:14
Assurbanipalok!21:14
axel_Assurbanipal: The rest of the 45GB is for the home-partition?21:14
Assurbanipalno!!21:15
Assurbanipali will make a "share" partition for both windows and linux21:15
Assurbanipalso i was thinking for a 15gb home partition21:15
administratordo i need to  wait21:15
administrator?21:15
axel_Assurbanipal: It depends on the files you want to store on that partition. For me 15gb would be a little bit too small.21:16
axel_Assurbanipal: Please notice that the FAT32 filesystem does only support files with the max size of 2GB.21:16
Assurbanipalok, let's start with the system partition. it will be 12 gb and the type primary right?21:17
Assurbanipal(the shared partition will be ntfs"21:17
axel_Assurbanipal: Type: primary21:17
axel_Assurbanipal: mountpoint: /21:17
Assurbanipalext3 journaling right?21:17
axel_Assurbanipal: That's standard. I'd not change it.21:18
Assurbanipalok this is the system partition right??21:18
axel_Assurbanipal: Y21:18
Assurbanipaldone with it!21:18
Assurbanipallets go to the user's partition now21:18
=== jacob_ is now known as Guest83750
axel_Assurbanipal: One word for the exchange-partition. Linux can write on NTFS-partitions but it can't handle the "owner"-information.21:19
Assurbanipalmeaning what?21:19
axel_Assurbanipal: That means that it mght be that you store a file with Linux on that partition and you need to have admin-rights under windows to be able to read it.21:20
Assurbanipali will have admin rights21:20
axel_Assurbanipal: Than that should not be a problem.21:21
Assurbanipalno probs with that..21:21
Assurbanipalok21:21
axel_Assurbanipal: OK. Let21:21
axel_Assurbanipal: Let's move to the home-partition (partition with the user-data)21:21
Assurbanipalso the users partition will also be a primary, ext3 again right?21:21
axel_Assurbanipal: Type: does not matter21:22
Assurbanipalok21:22
axel_Assurbanipal: mountpoint: /home21:22
Assurbanipaldone!21:22
Assurbanipalthat was it?21:22
axel_Assurbanipal: Filesystem: ext3 (I'd suggest)21:22
Assurbanipalnow i only need the swap file right? about 2gb?21:22
axel_Assurbanipal: It's a swap-partition but otherwhise you are right.21:23
axel_Assurbanipal: How much RAM do you have?21:23
Assurbanipal1gb21:23
axel_Assurbanipal: OK. 2GB is lagre but OK.21:24
Assurbanipalshould it be smaller u think?21:24
Assurbanipali don;t knw if it matters but i am on a laptop21:24
axel_Assurbanipal: one sec please.21:24
Assurbanipal..21:24
stdindo you need hibernation support?21:24
Assurbanipaldoes it work/? i don't think it does... but should it work,i d loke to have it21:25
Assurbanipal*like21:25
axel_Assurbanipal: With 2gb you won't be too small.21:25
stdinif you want it then your swap should be at least 1.5x RAM21:26
Assurbanipalok 2gb then21:26
axel_Assurbanipal: I'd do that.21:27
Assurbanipalok,done!21:27
axel_Assurbanipal: then the exchange-partition.21:27
axel_Assurbanipal: OR?21:27
Assurbanipali will fix it later mate..21:27
axel_Assurbanipal: OK. Any further questions so far?21:28
Assurbanipal:) i was only troubled with the seperated system/user partitions21:28
Assurbanipalno,i think i am ok now...21:28
Assurbanipali suppose the advantage of what i did is that it offers more security to the files i wil be working on,right?21:28
axel_Assurbanipal: When you mount the exchange partition its mountpoint should be /media/[something like exchange]21:28
Assurbanipalmeaning that if i reinstall/upgrade for some reason kubuntu, they will not be touched right?21:29
axel_Assurbanipal: For me it's convenience. You can exchange the Linux-distribution without having to configure the programs again.21:30
axel_Assurbanipal: You culd also encrypt this partition.21:30
RenzoreKOnce you reinstall the programs ;)21:30
Assurbanipalok,i see!21:30
Assurbanipaltnx!21:30
axel_Assurbanipal: recomenndable for laptops21:30
Assurbanipalnot for desktops?21:30
axel_RenzoreK Assurbanipal: OK. you have to reinstall them but you do not have to configure them again21:31
axel_Assurbanipal: When the desktop is in a secure environment (environment just trustworthy persons have access to).21:32
RenzoreKaxel_: I know that, this is how my system is set up, Im just making it clear for some users that if you change distros, your personal files, and programs won't be there. Just the raw files (and configs) if they are on a seperate partition, you need to reinstall all your programs (First time I did this I didn't know which programs I had installed )21:32
axel_Assurbanipal: It also depends on how paranoid you are. ;)21:32
Assurbanipalaxel_,  :P21:33
axel_Assurbanipal: But for a mobile system encripting all partitions is a good thing to do. Just imagine you loose your laptop.21:34
Assurbanipalafter i create the swap partition... it says that the remaining 10gb is "unusable".21:34
axel_Assurbanipal: Strange. I have no idea.21:34
Assurbanipalwhy that?shouldn't i be able to create more partitions??21:34
favroyou can only have 4 primary partitions21:35
axel_Assurbanipal: I'd just try it.21:35
Assurbanipalwhat do u guys mean?? what should i do? don't wanna lose that 10gb of space!21:35
axel_favro Assurbanipal: that's right. But why shouldn't it be possible to create secondary partitions?21:36
axel_Assurbanipal: Just for testing: Try to create a secondary partition.21:36
favroan extended partition is a primary one21:36
Assurbanipalshould i just make the swap partition lgical?21:36
Assurbanipalok,now it works///21:37
axel_Assurbanipal: you could make the home-partition logical.21:37
Assurbanipali get the "new partition" option enabled21:37
Assurbanipalshould i make them both? if i do so,will i be able to resize later if needed?21:38
axel_Assurbanipal: as far as I know the main difference between the partition types is that primary partitions are bootable.21:38
Assurbanipalok,then i should make them both logical and that's all,right? both swap and home partitions?21:38
axel_Assurbanipal: I have no experience resizing partitions with ext3 filesystems.21:39
favroextended ones can be bootable as well21:39
axel_favro: really? That's new to me.21:39
Assurbanipalfavro, so what's the difference?21:39
Assurbanipal(i 've made both home and swap partitions logical)21:40
favrowhat do you mean what's the diff?21:40
Assurbanipal(should i continue this way)21:40
Assurbanipal?21:40
axel_Assurbanipal favro:CU!21:40
Assurbanipalbye axel_ tnx!21:41
Assurbanipalfavro, if i continue with both partitions as logical will it be ok?21:41
