| Agent_bob | for music i store as .ogg files on dvd's | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Agent_bob | can put about 100 hours per disk | 00:01 |
| ronnie_ | thx agent but I only have a cdrw till next mth, & can only fit 19 songs per disk, = ( , so considering I have 800 songs, I don't have that many cd's haha | 00:03 |
| Agent_bob | ronnie_ even on cd as .ogg you can put about 10-12 hours | 00:04 |
| mefisto__ | ronnie_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593 | 00:04 |
| ronnie_ | hmmm, been having trouble with K3B, my songs are compressed to ogg but when I try to burn then, seem to come out as wave, well 19 songs per disk= 10-12 hrs? | 00:06 |
| Agent_bob | ronnie_ you are burning audio cd not data cd ;/ | 00:07 |
| Agent_bob | start a data cd project and add as many .ogg's as will fit | 00:07 |
| ronnie_ | k data, should fit more good thx, & great link thx lots, 4.1gig, might not have to burn | 00:08 |
| ronnie_ | thx tons mefisto = ) | 00:08 |
| mefisto__ | ronnie_: I think they recently upped it to 5 gb | 00:08 |
| ronnie_ | kewl so I can store it as data to take less room & reinstall my kubuntu woohoo! | 00:09 |
| mefisto__ | ronnie_: it's been about a year since I used that extension, so I can't promise it still works | 00:09 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 00:09 |
| ronnie_ | k well ill try | 00:10 |
| joseph | !medibuntu > joseph | 00:10 |
| ubottu | joseph, please see my private message | 00:10 |
| joseph | hm | 00:10 |
| joseph | so you have to add medibuntu repos to sources.list to use apt-get to install them? | 00:11 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 00:11 |
| ronnie_ | the reason is I downloaded a animation software for my webcam (freeware), now my webcam won't work = ( so no cvhoice but a fresh install, tho wine says it was uninstalled, oh well free can be risky = ) | 00:11 |
| joseph | Agent_bob: thanks, bob. | 00:12 |
| Agent_bob | joseph welcome | 00:12 |
| joseph | so once medibuntu repos are added, is it possible to install the whole suite with one package name? or do you have to manually list every package? | 00:14 |
| joseph | hm | 00:15 |
| joseph | ok | 00:15 |
| Agent_bob | joseph no and no. it makes everything in that repo avalable. and the package manager will list them as be installable err after you update the list. | 00:15 |
| joseph | i'm trying to find a video editing suite for ubuntu. i thought medibuntu had it. i guess not. hm. | 00:15 |
| Agent_bob | joseph i think it does have something like that... you can search the repo dirrectly too | 00:16 |
| joseph | !video | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 00:16 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: what are you looking for? | 00:16 |
| joseph | something like final cut | 00:17 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: kino is a well-kwown one | 00:19 |
| joseph | ok | 00:20 |
| joseph | thanks :) | 00:20 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: kdenlive has a nice familiar interface, but was a bit buggy last I used it (a long time ago) | 00:20 |
| joseph | but kino is more stable? | 00:20 |
| joseph | and how about audio? anything like protools? | 00:21 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: kino has been around for a while, so I suppose it's more stable | 00:21 |
| joseph | k | 00:21 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: the closest you'll come to protools is probably ardour. there's also rosegarden, which looks better and is easy to learn, but not as powerful as ardour. but neither come close to protools or cubase, etc | 00:23 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: rosegarden is primarily for midi work, ardour is audio only | 00:23 |
| joseph | so ardour is the one then | 00:24 |
| mefisto__ | joseph: you might want to look into ubuntustudio, which is a bunch of media-related apps and tools www.ubuntustudio.org | 00:25 |
| joseph | thanks | 00:25 |
| joseph | very helpful :) | 00:25 |
| skole | Can I use more than one charset? I use UTF-8. I think I need iso 8859-1. I have a problem opening files containing norwegian letters in the file name. This problem came after I upgradet to 8.04 | 00:26 |
| mefisto__ | skole: do the filenames display properly? | 00:30 |
| skole | mefisto: No. The norwegian letters are just boxes and squers. | 00:32 |
| mefisto__ | skole: are the files on a cd or dvd disk? or hard disk? | 00:34 |
| skole | Its on a USB drive | 00:35 |
| mefisto__ | skole: and you have norwegian language installed ? | 00:36 |
| skole | Yes I have. Its the old documents that are the problem. I have made new document just to test... That opens perfectly. I have some old docs on the momory stick. but now I cant access them | 00:37 |
| mefisto__ | can you copy them? rename them? etc | 00:39 |
| skole | My theory is that I have made those docs with a older charset than the relativly new UTF 8 | 00:39 |
| skole | No I cant copy or rename them | 00:39 |
| Agent_bob | skole have you tried from command line? | 00:40 |
| skole | No... ehh... I've just installed KDE 4.1.1. Where do I find the command line? | 00:41 |
| Agent_bob | skole konsole in the kmenu or alt+f2 konsole | 00:42 |
| Agent_bob | skole and kde4 help is in the other channel ;/ | 00:42 |
| Agent_bob | !kde4 | 00:42 |
| 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 | 00:42 |
| mefisto__ | skole: do you have kcontrol installed? there is a "default encoding" setting there in fonts that you could try | 00:43 |
| skole | Do I use adapt to get Kcontrol? | 00:44 |
| mefisto__ | skole: sorry, that's just for konqueror | 00:44 |
| Agent_bob | but at any rate. in the konsole try cd'ing to the dir they are in. and either copy or move them or use a loop to do it like this example: Q=0 ;for q in * ;do mv $q $Q.txt ;Q=$(($Q+1)) ;done | 00:45 |
| mefisto__ | it's a browser setting, but it might work for file management too. I doubt it though | 00:45 |
| skole | Mefisto: do you know how I can ad a charset in var/lib/locales/supported.d/local? | 00:46 |
| Agent_bob | skole in #kubuntu-kde4 you might get answers to things like that... | 00:47 |

| claydoh | hi Agent_bob | 00:54 |
| Agent_bob | shalom | 00:54 |
| Agent_bob | for the record, fellows. i like this channel. some times i wish the ops would lighten up a little when nothing is happening and we start an off topic convo... but all in all i like this channel better than any channel i have trolled yet... | 00:58 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 00:58 |
| skole | How can i open kate and have super user privelige. Do I write something before the file name in the command line? | 00:59 |
| Agent_bob | skole kdeusdo kate /path/to/filename | 00:59 |
| chrisruls00 | use kdesudo kate from a run dialog | 01:00 |
| chrisruls00 | someone beat me... | 01:00 |

| chrisruls00 | it's ok, I should be focusing on my essay anyways. | 01:00 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 heh i just looked at it and realized i typoed it anyway ;/ | 01:03 |
| Agent_bob | s=us=su= | 01:04 |
| ahmos | how i can disable twin view in xorg.conf | 01:06 |
| Agent_bob | !twinview | ahmos not sure you can | 01:07 |
| ubottu | ahmos not sure you can: twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings | 01:07 |
| ahmos | because my maximum refersh rate is 52hz Agent_bob,or what i can do? | 01:08 |
| ahmos | dynamic twin view | 01:08 |
| Agent_bob | ahmos if you can't use nvidia-settings to disable it i'm not sure. | 01:08 |
| Agent_bob | ahmos maybe someone else has been there/done that | 01:09 |
| * Agent_bob has an nvidia card but is stuck with the nv driver. | 01:10 | |
| Agent_bob | mine wouldn't have twinview anyway. | 01:10 |
| ahmos | by the way i usew nvidia-settings but when i configure it then restart my computer ,it returns to default settings Agent_bob | 01:10 |
| Agent_bob | eeek | 01:11 |

| amelie | yes... thanks | 01:19 |
| amelie | i'm downloading | 01:20 |

| joseph | !dyndns | 01:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dyndns | 01:20 |
| GWillakers | amelie: enable the medibuntu repos as in this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 01:21 |
| GWillakers | then sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 01:21 |
| amelie | hold... trouble downloading | 01:22 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Is there a way to use hibernate/standby from the menu or keyboard? | 01:22 |

| x_link | Hi | 01:25 |
| x_link | I have a Intel X3100 GPU, do I need to install any drivers like you do with nVIDIA? | 01:25 |
| chrisruls00 | I have a question, I have a Laptop(Toshiba) with those media buttons on the front (Like play, etc.), Could I set up Amarock to use these buttons? | 01:25 |
| joseph | GWillakers: awesome. set it up in the router config - works! | 01:26 |
| joseph | thanks | 01:26 |
| GWillakers | cool! | 01:26 |
| BluesKaj | probably, but that depends on what you need to do graphics -wise | 01:26 |
| x_link | BluesKaj: Was that for me? | 01:26 |
| Agent_bob | x_link x3100 ??? hmmm not sure. | 01:26 |
| Agent_bob | !nv | 01:26 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:26 |
| x_link | Agent_bob: This is a onboard card. | 01:27 |
| x_link | I use a laptop. | 01:27 |
| Agent_bob | x_link you'd need to check the supported hardware page i guess. | 01:28 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 yes. you should be able to use khotkeys to do that i think... | 01:28 |
| chrisruls00 | khotkeys? | 01:29 |
| CoJaBo-Eee | Is there a way to use hibernate/standby from the menu or keyboard? | 01:29 |
| chrisruls00 | I tried khotkeys but it said "ERROR: Communication problem with khotkeys, it probably crashed." How would I fix that? | 01:31 |
| amelie | THANKS A LOT CHRISSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! the player is working | 01:32 |
| amelie | muack!!!!!!!!!!! | 01:32 |
| chrisruls00 | thats good to know. | 01:32 |
| amelie | thanks a lot, bye | 01:33 |
| chrisruls00 | khotkeys isn't working, is there another way to tell what the media keys are called and then just tell Amerock to use them? | 01:34 |
| Agent_bob | http://gerry.ws/2008/08/17/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-hp-compaq-c700-notebook.html x_link page is saying that hardy detected and installed driver which supported 3d gfx | 01:38 |
| Agent_bob | pfft. when i do look something up that's what happens. the l-user is went before i can answer. | 01:38 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 yes showkeys | 01:39 |
| Agent_bob | err no s showkey | 01:39 |
| Agent_bob | it's cli appp | 01:39 |
| chrisruls00 | "cli"? | 01:39 |
| Agent_bob | !cli | 01:39 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:39 |
| Agent_bob | command-line interface | 01:40 |
| chrisruls00 | oh, that. I tried it in konsole already but I got "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console" | 01:40 |
| Agent_bob | as opposed to gui | 01:40 |
| Agent_bob | ? | 01:40 |
| chrisruls00 | I dont know what it means | 01:41 |
| Agent_bob | from konsole you got that error ? or from a command within the konsole ? | 01:41 |
| chrisruls00 | A command within the konsole | 01:41 |
| Agent_bob | show me | 01:41 |
| chrisruls00 | I type showkwy into the console and hit wnter and it says that | 01:42 |
| chrisruls00 | I type showkey into the console and hit wnter and it says that | 01:42 |
| chrisruls00 | I type showkey into the console and hit enter and it says that | 01:42 |
| chrisruls00 | I kept hitting w... | 01:42 |
| Agent_bob | i saw thwt | 01:42 |
| chrisruls00 | chrisruls00 on chrisruls00-laptop | ~ :: showkey | 01:42 |
| chrisruls00 | Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console | 01:42 |
| chrisruls00 | thats what I'm getting | 01:43 |
| Agent_bob | did you type :: or is that part of your prompt ? | 01:43 |
| chrisruls00 | Thats my prompt, I changed that back when I was a new user and now I can't remeber how to change it back (I want to BTW) | 01:44 |
| Agent_bob | for a single shot change export PS1='my new prompt' '\l [\u@\h.\w]\$' maybe | 01:45 |
| Agent_bob | i'm trying to reproduce that error... | 01:46 |
| GWillakers | chrisruls00: sudo showkey fixed it for me | 01:46 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers ;/ really? | 01:47 |
| GWillakers | it gets rid of the 'file descriptor' error | 01:47 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers k i'm seeing it, odd. | 01:48 |
| chrisruls00 | wow, I lost my keybord for a while | 01:48 |
| griff | does anyone know how to open terminal with a shortcut? | 01:48 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 heh only for ten seconds after the last key press | 01:48 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 that's in the startup message | 01:49 |
| chrisruls00 | I got the program running, but when I pushed the media keys It couldn't detect them | 01:49 |
| Agent_bob | griff check the khotkeys it should list konsole already | 01:49 |
| griff | thanks bob, ill give that a try | 01:50 |
| chrisruls00 | for opening the terminal with a shortcut, open K menu settings, chose your terminal program and the option to set a shortcut is in the bottom right, I think | 01:50 |
| chrisruls00 | or do it bobs way | 01:50 |
| GWillakers | I used to have a toshiba laptop. I never did get the media keys to work. I remember that I would have had to compile a custom kernel. | 01:51 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 hmmm it may have to do with xorg setting then... is your keyboard set to 101 in xorg.conf ? | 01:51 |
| chrisruls00 | I have <Win + Home> set for terminal since my laptop is weird and the win key is in the top right next to the home key, making it easy to push | 01:51 |
| chrisruls00 | I'll check that right now. | 01:51 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers was it the ati chipset ? | 01:51 |
| griff | i dont see a khotkeys, can i run that from konsole? | 01:51 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers i have a tosheba with the ati chips and it's terrable. | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | My keyboard settings say: | 01:52 |
| Agent_bob | griff yes | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Section "InputDevice" | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Identifier "Generic Keyboard" | 01:52 |
| GWillakers | I think my problem was the phoenix bios | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Driver "kbd" | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Option "CoreKeyboard" | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Option "XkbRules" "xorg" | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Option "XkbModel" "pc105" | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | Option "XkbLayout" "us" | 01:52 |
| chrisruls00 | EndSection | 01:52 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm 105 should be able to detect it then | 01:53 |
| chrisruls00 | hmm... | 01:54 |
| chrisruls00 | well, while I am here I have another question | 01:54 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 one way to rule out xorg as the problem drop to a console and test it. ctrl+alt+f1 to a login console return to xorg with alt+f7 | 01:54 |
| Agent_bob | that's left alt ^ | 01:55 |
| chrisruls00 | I heard someone say that there is an option you can change in xorg.conf to disable the "click" on a touchpad, forcing you to use the buttons below it. I would prefer it this way, do you know what option that is? | 01:55 |
| Agent_bob | no but i'm interested too. lets see if anyone knows. | 01:56 |
| Agent_bob | everybody howto disable click on touchpad ??? | 01:57 |
| chrisruls00 | Would this make any difference? | 01:57 |
| chrisruls00 | # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig | 01:57 |
| chrisruls00 | # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder57) Wed Jul 2 12:30:48 PDT 2008 | 01:57 |
| Agent_bob | google sujests three lines added to the touchpad section Option "TapButton0'' "0'' | 02:01 |
| Agent_bob | Option "TapButton1'' "0'' | 02:01 |
| Agent_bob | Option "TapButton2'' "0'' | 02:01 |
| Agent_bob | i'm not sure about the qoting there though. | 02:01 |
| Agent_bob | www.newlinuxuser.com/howto-disable-the-tap-function-on-my-touchpad/ | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | There is that gsynapatics tool also | 02:02 |
| chrisruls00 | thanks | 02:02 |
| Agent_bob | yeah another link shows more accurate quoting. | 02:05 |
| Agent_bob | Option "TapButton" "0" | 02:05 |
| Agent_bob | Option "MaxTapMove" "0" | 02:05 |
| Agent_bob | Option "MaxTapTime" "0" | 02:05 |
| Agent_bob | that actually looks right to me | 02:06 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis ok now how to convert that to console gpm ? | 02:07 |
| chrisruls00 | I found the old post where that guy told me about it and he said "TapButton1" "0" Disables Double-clicking using a touchpad. | 02:07 |
| dr_willis | No idea on GPM. My laptop has a touchpad on/off button I just use.. | 02:08 |
| Agent_bob | it just dawned on me that my issue with tab/click is in console not in xorg that's why i havent tackeled it hitherto | 02:08 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 kewlio | 02:09 |
| GWillakers | dr_willis: I have a touchpad on/off button, but everytime i turn it back on kded crashes! :( | 02:09 |
| Agent_bob | i don't have a switch. | 02:09 |
| Agent_bob | i have used a card to cover the touchpad though... | 02:10 |
| chrisruls00 | show key didn't work in tty1 either | 02:10 |
| Agent_bob | hmmm i could set a console hotkey to start/stop gpm that would work. | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | GWillakers, thats interesting... | 02:10 |
| dr_willis | GWillakers, do other window managers crash also? | 02:10 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 you mean didn't detect the media buttons or didn't work at all ? | 02:11 |
| chrisruls00 | Didn't detect the media buttons | 02:11 |
| GWillakers | dr_willis: haven't tried any others since I got my new laptop (HP DV9000) | 02:11 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 ok. it's gonna take a kernel module or kernel keymap to activate them and that one step out of my reach. | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | I got a HP DV2000 | 02:12 |
| GWillakers | dr_willis: maybe i'll try it with a ubuntu livecd | 02:12 |
| Agent_bob | s=that one=that is one= | 02:12 |
| dr_willis | I always instll a few extra windowmanagers... just in case. :) | 02:12 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis how many is a few ? 6? 8? | 02:13 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 02:13 |
| ahmos | Agent_bob: i've solved refresh rate problem but when i start some games i get a blank screen | 02:13 |
| GWillakers | my last laptop I installed gnome... cluttered everything up and I hate gnome!! | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | I tend to install icewm, and jwm. | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | and gnome and kde. | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | :) | 02:13 |
| GWillakers | never tried those | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | I use icewm/jwm in vnc sessions mainly | 02:14 |
| GWillakers | is jwm the same wm as on damn small? | 02:14 |
| chrisruls00 | it's ok | 02:14 |
| Agent_bob | i generally install blackbox fluxbox twm xfce4 gnome and kde | 02:14 |
| Agent_bob | and end up using the console exclusively | 02:14 |
| GWillakers | lol | 02:15 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers but actually that's not a joke ;/ | 02:15 |
| GWillakers | I'm comfortable with the command line but I'm not there yet!! :) | 02:16 |
| chrisruls00 | Speaking of vnc, I have one set up, but I heard there is a way to set vnc up so that Ican connect to the log-in screen, since my current set-up requires me to log-in before I leave home and keep it open, I would like to know how to set it up so remote connections can be sent to the log-in screen. | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, depends on exactly how/what/where you are connecting | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, i use vnc4server, and from a remote machine, i normally just 'ssh in' and run 'vncserver' | 02:17 |
| Agent_bob | gdm can listen for vnc connections | 02:17 |
| Agent_bob | kdm prolly too | 02:17 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, what is ssh? I hear that a lot. | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | that way the session stays alive even if i disconnect. - with the gdm way.. if i disconnect. the session may exit. | 02:17 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 ssh is 'da bomb' | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, time to spend an hr or 2 reading on ssh. :) putty is a ssh client for windows. | 02:17 |
| Agent_bob | !info ssh | 02:17 |
| ubottu | ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | in short it lets you get a remote shell. | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | long description - its one of the most versitile tools out there. :) | 02:18 |
| chrisruls00 | I would Like to know how to do this. I have a program called putty on my flashdrive but I could not get it working. | 02:18 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis that's the long and short of it ? | 02:18 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 install ssh on the ubuntu box | 02:19 |
| chrisruls00 | Currently I use vncviewer from a flashdrive, I enter my IP address and port number that I have forwarded to my computer's IP | 02:19 |
| chrisruls00 | "ubuntu box" | 02:19 |
| chrisruls00 | ? | 02:19 |
| * Agent_bob hides. | 02:19 | |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, and you start the vnc server on the remote box.. by walking over to it.. and logging in and starting it up... my way.. you just ssh to the remote box. :) | 02:19 |
| chrisruls00 | I already have the ssh package installed | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | you dont need to be logged at the actual 'machine' or have a desktop showing | 02:20 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, I'm kinda confused right now. I would like something to use a programm I caould run off of a flashdrive if possible. I don't know anyone else that uses Ubuntu so I want to connect from Windows XP systems. | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | putty client on flash drive.. and you can ssh to the linux box's ip. | 02:22 |
| dr_willis | then do all sorts of things. :) | 02:22 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 ok i just tested for you. your ssh-server is running. you can login to your computer with your username and password over ssh ssh chrisruls@ip72-196-6-236.om.om.cox.net | 02:22 |
| Agent_bob | and enter your password. | 02:22 |
| dr_willis | ssh ip72-196-6-236.om.om.cox.net works? thats scary | 02:23 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 now. you may also want to tighten security a little make a good healthy password and limit sshd to allowing only a few users is a good idea. | 02:23 |
| Dragnslcr | dr_willis- it resolves to the IP address, and that's all that matters | 02:23 |
| GWillakers | change the port that ssh uses too!!!! | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | security through obscurity! :) | 02:24 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers why any nmap test will find the new port.... | 02:24 |
| chrisruls00 | I'm still very confused!!! How do I set up ssh on machine I want to connect to? | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | install the open-sshserver package. | 02:25 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | 02:25 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 02:25 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 what os is it running ? | 02:25 |
| GWillakers | Agent_bob: make it a really high number and pray!! | 02:25 |
| chrisruls00 | what os is what running? | 02:25 |
| Agent_bob | <chrisruls00> I'm still very confused!!! How do I set up ssh on machine I want to connect to? <Agent_bob> chrisruls00 what os is it running ? | 02:25 |
| Agent_bob | that "it" ^ | 02:26 |
| Agent_bob | GWillakers heh :) | 02:26 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, could someone walk me through this step-by-step or something? | 02:26 |
| GWillakers | chrisruls00: do you connect using a router?? | 02:26 |
| chrisruls00 | yes | 02:26 |
| Agent_bob | i can't cause you wont answer me... | 02:26 |
| chrisruls00 | The maching I want to connect TO is kubuntu 8.04 | 02:27 |
| GWillakers | did you forward the ssh port?? | 02:27 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 then install ssh on it | 02:27 |
| Agent_bob | "same it" | 02:27 |
| chrisruls00 | wait, let me check | 02:27 |
| Agent_bob | it's port 22 by default | 02:27 |
| chrisruls00 | yes | 02:28 |
| chrisruls00 | package ssh is already installed | 02:28 |
| mario_ | alaluia! | 02:28 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 then use the command ssh <user>@<ip> # where <user> is a login user account on the remote box and <ip> is it's ip address | 02:29 |
| chrisruls00 | ok | 02:30 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 you can also use the "fish" protocal in konqueror to get a file manager over ssh access to the remote box. konqueror's address bar: fish://user@ip:/ | 02:30 |
| Agent_bob | it will prompt for the password | 02:31 |
| chrisruls00 | Kubuntu is the os I want to connect TO, I would like to connect FROM a windows XP machine | 02:32 |
| noura | Hello guys, I am having trouble with hibernate/resume on my vaio | 02:32 |
| chrisruls00 | aka Kubuntu is the server, XP is the client | 02:32 |
| chrisruls00 | you mentioned a program called putty | 02:33 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 putty is for windows | 02:33 |
| noura | there is putty for linux | 02:33 |
| chrisruls00 | So putty is what I want to use? | 02:33 |
| Agent_bob | noura but it's kinda a waste of space seeing that openssh is for linux | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | Putty is a ssh client for windows. (and linux) | 02:34 |
| noura | true, I was just saying... | 02:34 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 from windows yes you use putty and connect to ssh server | 02:34 |
| dr_willis | the ssh client is not the same as the ssh server.. there are 2 ssh packatges.. | 02:34 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, let me go try from my dad's computer (has XP) I'll BRB | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | !find ssh | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about find ssh | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | with ssh - spending an hr reading a few docs - pays BIG dividends/ | 02:35 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis ahem one ssh package. two openssh-.* packages but ssh depends on both of them. | 02:35 |
| noura | can anyone help me with resume/hibernate? | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | I thought th essh metapackage got removed. | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | or perhaps it got added. :) i rember at some time 'apt-get install ssh' dident work | 02:36 |
| GWillakers | noura: I don't know much about it, but describe the problem. | 02:36 |
| Agent_bob | attention to all ssh users. i have found that colourizing the prompt when remote also pays dividends | 02:36 |
| Agent_bob | http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/3175 | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | color prompts are fun | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | willis@black:~(7.858 Mb)$ | 02:37 |
| Dragnslcr | !info ssh | 02:37 |
| ubottu | ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB | 02:37 |
| chrisruls00 | Ok, how do I set up the server side of ssh? | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | Mine shows the file side in the current dir. | 02:37 |
| Agent_bob | i only have colour when remote with that code in .bashrc files. http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/3175 | 02:37 |
| noura | Well I got hibernate to work using s2both, but suspend doesn't. And besides it would work from the terminal only, from the gui it doesnt | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, install the ssh package.. or the client and server packages.. :) | 02:37 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- make sure that openssh-server is installed | 02:37 |
| chrisruls00 | They are allready installed | 02:38 |
| Agent_bob | !info ssh | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | then they are there... | 02:38 |
| ubottu | ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | ssh localhost | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | and see if it works | 02:38 |
| Agent_bob | doesn't look removed ^ | 02:38 |
| chrisruls00 | do I have to set anything up? | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, try 'ssh localhost' and see if it works | 02:38 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- installing openssh-server should start the server for you | 02:38 |
| chrisruls00 | yes, it worked | 02:39 |
| Agent_bob | Dragnslcr heh he already had it running on the box he's irc'ing on. | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | Then its working. :) | 02:39 |
| chrisruls00 | so now I do the same thing with putty on a windows machine? | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | install putty.. enter ip #.. connect. | 02:39 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, I'll go try. | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | read putty docs. :) its not hard to figure out | 02:39 |
| Dragnslcr | You mean run putty | 02:39 |
| Dragnslcr | Putty is a good program. It doesn't need to be installed | 02:40 |
| Agent_bob | Dragnslcr ? | 02:40 |
| Agent_bob | execute it remotely ? | 02:40 |
| Dragnslcr | Eh? | 02:40 |
| Agent_bob | <Dragnslcr> Putty is a good program. It doesn't need to be installed <<< | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | or we are confusing the term 'download and run the stand alone version' with 'download the isntaller and run the installer version' | 02:41 |
| Dragnslcr | Right | 02:41 |
| Agent_bob | so you don't have to have a local copy to use it ? | 02:41 |
| Dragnslcr | Is there an installer for Putty now? | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html | 02:41 |
| Dragnslcr | I always just use the executable from the .zip | 02:41 |
| dr_willis | Has been for ages Dragnslcr | 02:41 |
| Dragnslcr | Oh yeah | 02:42 |
| Dragnslcr | Forgot about that | 02:42 |
| * Agent_bob thinks we are confusing what "install" actually means | 02:42 | |
| Dragnslcr | No we aren't | 02:42 |
| Dragnslcr | I just never use the installer | 02:42 |
| dr_willis | and i always use the installer. | 02:42 |
| Agent_bob | downloading a zip file and unpacking it on the hard drive is installing software | 02:43 |
| Dragnslcr | Not in the Windows world it isn't | 02:43 |
| Dragnslcr | If it doesn't put loads of junk in the registry, it's not a real installer | 02:43 |
| BluesKaj | gotta run the .exe file on windows | 02:43 |
| Agent_bob | yes it is. you don't have to rewrite a "regestry" file to install something | 02:43 |
| * dr_willis waits for the !OT | 02:44 | |
| dr_willis | :) | 02:44 |
| Dragnslcr | Heh | 02:44 |
| Dragnslcr | Way ahead of ya | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | now lets argue about scripting vs programming! | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | :) | 02:44 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, It worked. | 02:44 |
| Dragnslcr | Isn't it great how Kubuntu doesn't have a registry | 02:44 |
| BluesKaj | silence | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | That will be in KDE5 | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | :) | 02:44 |
| chrisruls00 | But I got some security error about host keys or something. | 02:44 |
| Agent_bob | Dragnslcr it does in one respect. the package database | 02:45 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- it's not an error, it's just a warning | 02:45 |
| chrisruls00 | ok | 02:45 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, now would be a good time to read up on the basics of ssh. :) | 02:45 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- you'll always get it the first time you connect to a given server | 02:45 |
| chrisruls00 | well, now that I got that working, is there a way to get a graphical log-in through ssh? | 02:45 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- yes, but it's not quite as simple | 02:46 |
| chrisruls00 | I'd like to try. | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, I ssh in, and run the vncserver , then connect with a vnc client. | 02:46 |
| Dragnslcr | I recommend using a VNC server that supports SSL | 02:46 |
| Dragnslcr | I use x11vnc, which works well | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | !tunnle | 02:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tunnle | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | Hmm | 02:46 |
| Dragnslcr | Helps to spell it right | 02:47 |
| Dragnslcr | !tunnel | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tunnel | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | I never use vnc over the internet. SO i never use it. | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | :) | 02:47 |
| Dragnslcr | Or not | 02:47 |
| ronnie_ | hey mefisto, have a question about "gmail" addon for firefox = ) | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | !tunneling | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tunneling | 02:47 |
| chrisruls00 | I can already use a vnc, but I have to be logged-in for it to work | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | I know theres a factoid on it. | 02:47 |
| GWillakers | !vpn | 02:47 |
| ubottu | From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD | 02:47 |
| * Agent_bob waits for the !fishing | 02:47 | |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, which is why i keep mentioning sshingin, and running vncserver. that way you do NOT have to be logged in for it to work | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | well whenyou ssh in, you actually are logging in.. :) but you are not logged into X. | 02:48 |
| Dragnslcr | Doing it that way, though, won't get you the session that's on your monitor | 02:48 |
| Dragnslcr | Which may be what you want. I'm just pointing it out | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | Dragnslcr, yep.. but doing it that way.. WILL keep the session alive. :) if you hang up.. which is what i want. | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | Not sure what he wants.. | 02:48 |
| Dragnslcr | Hehe, good point | 02:49 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, so if you log-in onto ssh and run the vncserver command I can connect through vnc? How do I set up the password that way? I'm using KDE's default remote client right now. | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | ITs all about the details.. which he may not realize even exist. | 02:49 |
| ronnie_ | how do you upload your music?, I see my songs on the left window, & click on middle upload arrow? nothing happens, @mefisto | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, ssh uses the users password. vncserver can have its own password | 02:49 |
| chrisruls00 | It's called kfrb it thing | 02:49 |
| chrisruls00 | It's called kfrb thing | 02:49 |
| chrisruls00 | thats what I'm using now | 02:50 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, thats ONE specific vncserver/method. :) | 02:50 |
| Agent_bob | plus or minus a few w's eeh chrisruls00 :))) | 02:50 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- I believe you want to run vncpasswd to set the password | 02:50 |
| dr_willis | vnc is almost as varied/flexiable as ssh. | 02:50 |
| chrisruls00 | ok so do I need to close the vncserver that kfrb is running right now 1st? | 02:51 |
| * Agent_bob disallows password login over ssh and keeps his key on a usb stick | 02:51 | |
| dr_willis | I normally set up vnc4server, and when i run vncserver, i set it to start up a very light desktop. Such as icewm. that way i dont get a lot of lag. | 02:51 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- you can, but you don't have to | 02:51 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- if you start a new vncserver when one is already running, it'll just pick a different port | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | chrisruls00, vncserver can have multiple sessions at the same time. :) its a cool feature. You could have 8+ different vnc sessions going on the same machiune with 8_ differnt desktops | 02:52 |
| Dragnslcr | When you start vncserver, it'll tell you what port it's running on | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | or 8+ different users... all with their own session. | 02:52 |
| chrisruls00 | cool, but I dont wnat to open up too many ports. | 02:52 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- don't worry, there's no shortage of them | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | # of ports wont be the limit. :) whith that many users.. theres otehr limits that will come into play | 02:52 |
| Dragnslcr | Like memory | 02:53 |
| chrisruls00 | I'm using a router so I'd have to forward the ports, right? | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | theres also 'freenx' wich is a similer to vnc tool.. but not vnc. :) | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | using vnc over the wild internet.. may not be the most secure thing to do. | 02:53 |
| ronnie_ | anyone useing "Gmail" firefox addon?, I'd like to know how you upload? = ) | 02:53 |
| chrisruls00 | I'm going to go experiment a bit... | 02:53 |
| mn_ | im trying to do the directions here http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_do_i_change_the_permissions_of_a_mounted_ntfs_volume and can't figure out how to do it. Help please? (im trying to reset my permissions on my Windows partition) | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | work time .. bye | 02:53 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ sudo mount -o remount,dmask=027,fmask=137 /mount/point #maybe | 02:55 |
| Agent_bob | or do you mean permanantly ? | 02:56 |
| mn_ | i want to permanently change my permissions on win ( i calcls ed myslef out of it) | 02:57 |
| shadowhywind | hay all is there a command to see who is logged in using sftp? | 02:58 |
| GWillakers | mn_ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ophcrack/ | 02:59 |
| Agent_bob | shadowhywind pstree ? | 02:59 |
| Agent_bob | shadowhywind who or w might tell you i'm not sure | 02:59 |
| shadowhywind | never used pstree before it looks interesting | 03:00 |
| Agent_bob | i think there is an xpstree too | 03:00 |
| mn_ | GWillakers: I didn't loose my password | 03:00 |
| snude | hi | 03:00 |
| snude | anyone install DooM 3 in linux ? | 03:00 |
| GWillakers | shadowhywind: fuser | 03:01 |
| mn_ | I changed the permission for everyone on the computer to none | 03:01 |
| mn_ | acciedentally | 03:01 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ pastebin your fstab | 03:01 |
| GWillakers | mn_, can you log onto windows as an admin? | 03:01 |
| Agent_bob | your /etc/fstab file's content | 03:01 |
| mn_ | GWillakers: i can't even boot windows | 03:02 |
| mn_ | ok agent bob | 03:02 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ wait are the two issues related ? | 03:02 |
| mn_ | what two issues? | 03:02 |
| Agent_bob | are you talking about the windows permissions ? or the mount psyudo permissions for the file system mounted under linux ? | 03:03 |
| chrisruls00 | how do I set what port vncserver uses when I launch it from a command line. | 03:03 |
| mn_ | oh | 03:03 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 "man vncserver" should know | 03:03 |
| mn_ | i want to change the permissions in windows from linux | 03:03 |
| chrisruls00 | I tried man vncserver already | 03:03 |
| Agent_bob | oh that's nothing i care to mess with. | 03:04 |
| mn_ | i can't boot windows because nothing has access to the CL\ | 03:04 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ sorry, i don't do windows. | 03:04 |
| mn_ | well it's linux commands | 03:04 |
| Agent_bob | not that i know about. | 03:04 |
| mn_ | http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#how_do_i_change_the_permissions_of_a_mounted_ntfs_volume | 03:04 |
| mn_ | i just need help as far as what to replace ... with like in the second command | 03:05 |
| Agent_bob | i looked at that. has nothing to do with windows permissions | 03:05 |
| GWillakers | mn_ can you look around your windoze partitions from linux? if so copy the data and blow away your windoze partition. use linux. be happy | 03:05 |
| mario_ | tcp-com server availlable to kubuntu: | 03:05 |
| GWillakers | mn_ seriously, copy the data if you can and reload windows. | 03:05 |
| mario_ | W]? | 03:06 |
| mn_ | Well, I'm in school. I love linux, but I still need my windows partition because I know how to use all that better. Its kind of a back-up deal | 03:07 |
| chrisruls00 | ok I tried running vncserver after sshing in but when I use vncviewer it just connected to my already logged in session | 03:07 |
| GWillakers | Just out of curiousity... How did you mess up windoze? | 03:07 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ no sir. the things in that link are totally unrelated to windows. all that is on the like you posted is 100% linux will not affect windows booting | 03:08 |
| mn_ | oh | 03:08 |
| Agent_bob | s=like=link= | 03:08 |
| mn_ | sorry i didn't know that | 03:08 |
| david | No1PeaceDragon | 03:09 |
| Agent_bob | onlything they are changing is psyudo permissions established by the mount command. doesn't last past a reboot | 03:09 |
| GWillakers | mn_ maybe you could try to use the windows repair console. do you have the windows disk? | 03:09 |
| === david is now known as Guest26596 | ||
| === Guest26596 is now known as david__ | ||
| mn_ | already did. the only thing that cause was that i had to go and manually copy the ntdrl and ntdetect.com files from the cd onto my hdd | 03:10 |
| david__ | No1PeaceDragon | 03:10 |
| chrisruls00 | When using vncviewer, how do you tell it which of the vnc servers to connect to if you have more than one open? | 03:10 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ explain how you made windows unbootable ? from withing windows i bet ? | 03:10 |
| mn_ | yes | 03:10 |
| mn_ | in command prompt | 03:10 |
| mn_ | cacls C: /P guest:N | 03:10 |
| Agent_bob | mn_ you need to take this to ##windows. no offence but this is not the place for it. | 03:11 |
| GWillakers | mn_ good luck! | 03:11 |
| Agent_bob | yes good luck with it. | 03:11 |
| mn_ | thnx | 03:11 |
| chrisruls00 | ok, I think the vnc server auto-launched by KDE is getting in the way, how do I stop it from auto-launching? | 03:12 |
| Agent_bob | if it can be repaired from linux they will probably know how | 03:12 |

| noura | Hello, I figured out how to hibernate my system using "s2both", but how do I automate it? As in when closing the lid of the laptop, X minutes of inactivity? As opposed to manually doing it in the terminal? | 03:12 |
| chrisruls00 | does anyone know? | 03:13 |
| Agent_bob | noura you can probably call it from inittab when the lid closes but i don't have the specifics on that. | 03:13 |
| chrisruls00 | !vnc | 03:14 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:14 |
| noura | Agent_bob: thats what I thought, but the specifics is whats important :S | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | chrisruls00 !i sorry. | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | noura true dat | 03:14 |
| Dragnslcr | chrisruls00- add :N to the address, where N is the server number | 03:14 |
| Agent_bob | well i'm out folks, good night and good luck to your pinguins. | 03:15 |
| david__ | cya agent | 03:15 |
| chrisruls00 | like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1 , where the x's are the IP address? | 03:15 |
| natetechboy128 | like foo:1234 | 03:16 |
| natetechboy128 | connects to foo on port 1234 | 03:16 |
| chrisruls00 | but then where do I put the port? | 03:16 |
| chrisruls00 | then how do select what seesion of vnc I want to use? | 03:16 |
| chrisruls00 | ugg, now I'm more confused. | 03:16 |
| natetechboy128 | so, what are you trying to do? sorry | 03:17 |
| david__ | dont make a mountain out of a molehill.....one thing at a time | 03:17 |
| chrisruls00 | I'm trying to run vnc through ssh | 03:17 |
| Denise | rolf | 03:17 |
| natetechboy128 | ok | 03:17 |
| chrisruls00 | I used to run it without ssh, but I want to switch | 03:17 |
| david__ | hi denise | 03:17 |
| Denise | hi | 03:17 |
| chrisruls00 | KDE auto-runs vnc when I log-in so I want that stopped. | 03:18 |
| david__ | we met briefly the other night I was no1peacedragon | 03:18 |
| Denise | how are u | 03:18 |
| Denise | ok | 03:18 |
| Denise | yes | 03:18 |

| [Relic] | Have there been any packages updated in 8.04 (64bit) in the last couple weeks? (wondering if I screwed something up in adept) | 03:18 |
| natetechboy128 | so... 2 ways to stop autorun programs. | 03:19 |
| natetechboy128 | 1 | 03:19 |
| natetechboy128 | edit your .bashrc and add a killall vnc | 03:19 |
| natetechboy128 | which sucks | 03:19 |
| natetechboy128 | or 2 | 03:19 |
| grendal_prime | hey guys hows it going. Im trying to send something from my treo phone to my laptop via bluetooth. its just a picture, i send stuff between my phone and my wifes phone both ways no problem..and i send stuff from my laptop to my phone, no problem, but when i try and send it to the laptop from the phone i just gives an cannot connect error. | 03:20 |
| Denise | what brings you here dear david? | 03:20 |

| david__ | I assume you are here to tell someone forget me lol | 03:22 |
| GWillakers | chrisruls00: it is probably launched through inittab. You probably have to do an "update-rc.d name remove" | 03:22 |

| lufthanza | because it's not installed | 04:22 |
| lufthanza | anyone? | 04:27 |
| lufthanza | i want to reinstall man | 04:27 |

| dale__ | g'luck | 04:28 |
| lufthanza | dale__: thanks | 04:29 |
| lufthanza | dale__: I have both manpages and mandb | 04:30 |
| dale__ | you mean you had them before? | 04:30 |
| dale__ | or you had them after you installed them | 04:31 |
| lufthanza | i had them before | 04:31 |
| dale__ | what's the problem you're having? | 04:31 |
| lufthanza | and yet for some reason i don't have man | 04:31 |
| lufthanza | "bash: man: command not found" | 04:31 |
| devo | is there a program called acidrip for linux and if so, where can i get it??? | 04:31 |
| dale__ | if you type "which man" what does it say? | 04:32 |
| lufthanza | dale__: nothing | 04:32 |
| devo | is there a program called acidrip for linux and if so, where can i get it??? | 04:33 |
| dale__ | devo: sudo apt-get install acidrip | 04:33 |
| devo | thnx | 04:34 |
| lufthanza | dale__: i am not a man without man. Please help me | 04:34 |
| dale__ | lufthanz: when you type apt-get isntall manpages mandb it tells you that they are at the latest version? | 04:34 |
| lufthanza | dale__: yep | 04:34 |
| dale__ | is this a new install of kubuntu? | 04:34 |
| lufthanza | dale__: no | 04:35 |
| lufthanza | dale__: nearly a year old now | 04:35 |
| dale__ | and man just stopped working? | 04:35 |
| lufthanza | dale__: maybe more than a year | 04:35 |
| lufthanza | dale__: not sure. I went to use man to look up stuff on badblocks, and it was missing | 04:35 |

| lufthanza | dale__: ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? man | 04:41 |
| dale__ | what are the question marks? | 04:42 |
| dale__ | is that what it comes back with? | 04:42 |
| lufthanza | dale__: yes | 04:42 |
| dale__ | I think we found the problem. your installation got clobbered it looks like. | 04:42 |
| lufthanza | dale__: stranger yet, is when I try to do /usr/bin/man/man , it says the file doesn't exist | 04:43 |
| lufthanza | rm it? | 04:43 |
| dale__ | you're running feisty fawn? | 04:43 |

| lufthanza | hardy heron | 04:43 |
| pvd | lufthanza | 04:43 |
| lufthanza | dist-upgraded from feisty, but i had man back then, i think it was possibly lost data from computer not shutting down properly | 04:44 |
| dale__ | I think i'd backup my data and reinstall. i've never seen an ls command return a bunch of question marks like that. | 04:44 |
| dale__ | You might be able to save yourself with a livecd, but it sounds more serious than that. | 04:44 |
| lufthanza | dale__: hold on | 04:45 |
| lufthanza | dale__: ... I axed man | 04:46 |
| lufthanza | dale__: then i reinstalled manpages | 04:46 |
| lufthanza | but i got the ??????????????? again | 04:46 |
| dale__ | apt-get purge manpages man-db : then reinstall it. | 04:47 |
| dale__ | I think I'd make a backup before messing around too much though. | 04:48 |

| n3ksus | hi, im wondering why firefox has a grey box with a play logo in it for movies? | 04:49 |
| n3ksus | and how can i get rid of it | 04:49 |
| lufthanza | mplayer plugin perhaps? | 04:50 |
| dale__ | lufthanza, you should do a ls -hal /usr/bin/lib/* | less and see if you get other strange results | 04:50 |
| dale__ | make that ls -hal /usr/lib/* | 04:50 |
| dale__ | make that ls -hal /usr/lib/* | less | 04:51 |
| dale__ | :) | 04:51 |
| lufthanza | man-db won't remove | 04:51 |
| lufthanza | is there a way to make apt more verbose? | 04:51 |
| dale__ | use the -V option | 04:52 |
| n3ksus | how do i fix it? coz it freezes firefox if i play stuff | 04:52 |
| lufthanza | n3ksus: just a sec | 04:53 |
| n3ksus | kk | 04:53 |
| lufthanza | n3ksus: try 'sudo apt-get remove mozilla-mplayer' | 04:54 |
| n3ksus | Package mozilla-mplayer is not installed, so not removed | 04:55 |
| dale__ | n3ksus do you have the noscript extension installed? | 04:56 |
| lufthanza | dale__: finally got man-db to remove | 04:57 |
| dale__ | what was your trick? | 04:57 |
| n3ksus | nope | 04:58 |
| n3ksus | i have media player plugin tho? | 04:58 |
| lufthanza | dale__: had to rm -r the /usr/bin/man | 04:58 |
| lufthanza | directory | 04:58 |
| dale__ | wow, do you have man now? | 04:58 |
| lufthanza | dale__: reinstalling everything that was removed as we speak | 04:59 |
| dale__ | you did a rm -r /usr/lib/man-db ??? | 05:00 |
| lufthanza | no | 05:00 |
| lufthanza | rm -r /usr/bin/man | 05:00 |
| lufthanza | for some reason /usr/bin/man was a directory | 05:00 |
| dale__ | oh wow, never considered that | 05:00 |
| dale__ | actually, rm -r on a normal file will just remove the file | 05:02 |
| lufthanza | dale__: well, for some reason man was a directory that contained that weird man link and another directory called 'man1' | 05:03 |
| lufthanza | man = "What manual page do you want?" | 05:03 |
| dale__ | it's working!! | 05:04 |

| lufthanza | Tann: was reading funny animal stories | 05:20 |
| lufthanza | Tann: anyway, make sure you have the right driver installed | 05:20 |
| lufthanza | is it a broadcom chipset? | 05:20 |
| Tann | atheros actually | 05:21 |
| Tann | which surprised me because it didn't automatically work | 05:21 |
| Tann | like the other atheros devices I've used | 05:21 |
| lufthanza | hmm | 05:22 |
| lufthanza | my best suggestion is the madwifi drivers, or better, try to get one of the most recent kernel releases | 05:22 |
| lufthanza | atheros just released open source drivers for their cards | 05:23 |
| Tann | How exactally do the madwifi drivers work? | 05:24 |
| lufthanza | Tann: i'll send you the source for the drivers i use for my atheros card | 05:25 |
| Tann | ok | 05:26 |
| lufthanza | Tann: ok, sent it to you | 05:28 |
| Tann | It's still connecting to the download | 05:28 |
| Tann | failed | 05:28 |

| snude | whats the latest version of kubuntu called? | 05:33 |
| lufthanza | Tann: done | 05:33 |
| lufthanza | Tann: use make and sudo make install to get it set up | 05:33 |
| Tann | ok. I guess I need to install madwifi first? | 05:33 |
| lufthanza | Tann: you'll need your kernel headers and build-essential first | 05:33 |
| lufthanza | Tann: no, that tar.gz has the source for madwifi | 05:34 |
| lufthanza | Tann: make and sudo make install will install it | 05:34 |
| Tann | ok. be back in a moment | 05:34 |
| lufthanza | Tann: are you running Hardy heron? | 05:35 |
| EagleScreen | use checkinstall in place of make install, for it, you need 'checkinstall' package | 05:36 |
| lufthanza | EagleScreen: never heard of that | 05:36 |
| Tann | lufthanza: yes | 05:36 |
| Tann | EagleScreen: Whats the advantage? | 05:36 |
| lufthanza | Tann: use 'sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic | 05:37 |
| EagleScreen | checkinstall installs it as .deb package, later you can cleany remove it from package manager | 05:37 |
| lufthanza | EagleScreen: thats very handy | 05:37 |
| lufthanza | you learn something new everyday | 05:38 |

| lufthanza | kk | 05:39 |

| lufthanza | Tann: i think so. mine is an ar242x | 05:52 |
| lufthanza | Tann: after you install it, restart your computer. It's hard to manually load the drivers. | 05:53 |

| willwork4foo | Hello? | 08:08 |
| willwork4foo | I'm trying to research a cheap USB wifi adapter that will work "out-of-the-box" as much as possible on my WPA2 wifi network, on the latest version of Kubuntu.... does anyone have any recommendations? | 08:11 |
| Tann | Hi. I'm running ubuntu and I have a Linksys WPC100 laptop wireless adapter. Could anyone help me set it up? lspci says is Atheros 5416 | 08:12 |
| Tann | willwork4foo: You probably want something that has an Atheros chipset. | 08:13 |
| geek | willwork4foo: ralink ones seem to work on the latest versions of kubuntu as well | 08:14 |
| willwork4foo | ok, thanks | 08:15 |
| Tann | I'm using a d-link PCI card in my desktop and it worked with no problem using the restricted drivers provided by kubuntu | 08:15 |
| willwork4foo | ok | 08:16 |
| willwork4foo | on WPA2? | 08:16 |
| Tann | yup | 08:17 |
| Tann | well, actually I'm not sure if its using WPA1 or 2 because my router is setup with both. | 08:18 |
| Tann | but I'm pretty sure wpa2 works | 08:18 |
| willwork4foo | what's your card? | 08:19 |
| Tann | D-link WDA-1320 | 08:19 |
| willwork4foo | thanks! I'll check that one out!!! | 08:30 |

| eddiewould | Hey all :) | 09:29 |
| eddiewould | Can anyone help me with an issue I'm having? | 09:31 |
| lain_wired | eddiewould: no asking to ask, but always just asking. | 09:33 |
| * eddiewould is confused | 09:34 | |
| lain_wired | Oh dear. | 09:35 |
| lain_wired | eddiewould: ask your question, but don't ask permission to ask. | 09:35 |
| eddiewould | Ok, sorry, Thought that was the usual IRC ettiquite | 09:36 |
| eddiewould | *sp | 09:36 |
| lain_wired | Because if we say we can help, but we don't know what the issue is, then we can't, it's kinda lame. | 09:36 |
| lain_wired | Nope, it's rather the opposite. | 09:36 |
| lain_wired | But saying hi is always lovely. =] | 09:36 |
| eddiewould | Ok I'm running a mungrel Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron - 2.6.27 kernel and KDE4.1 | 09:36 |
| eddiewould | Anyway, recently I've somehow broken something | 09:36 |
| eddiewould | I think either by updating packages or installing something | 09:37 |
| squid0 | hi there. my room-mate has a wpa-psk wireless router, which I've managed to connect to just fine in the past (kubuntu, using knetworkmanager on top of NetworkManager). However, lately he's set it as hidden, and I can't connect.... I have output from logs: http://pastebin.com/m69b32e48 | 09:38 |
| * eddiewould is back | 09:39 | |
| eddiewould | An unreleated problem my KDE Keeps logging me out :( | 09:39 |
| lain_wired | eddiewould: oh, that's never good. You might find it better to backup all your data and reinstall. | 09:39 |
| lain_wired | Issues like that are a hell to resolve. | 09:39 |
| eddiewould | lain_wired: I haven't told you what my problem is yet :P | 09:39 |
| lain_wired | Oh. | 09:39 |
| lain_wired | Oh noes. XD | 09:40 |
| eddiewould | So the problem is manifesting itself in more than one way - I think. | 09:40 |
| favro | I thought kde logging you out would be a prob... :) | 09:40 |
| favro | he went | 09:40 |
| lain_wired | he got logged out, clearly. | 09:42 |
| lain_wired | Why is he taking so fucking long to tell us what's wrong? | 09:43 |
| lain_wired | And he really should just reinstall. | 09:43 |

| eddiewould | Hi all, - I'm running Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 w/ 2.6.27 kernel + KDE4.1... I've got a couple of problems - 1) When I choose "Shutdown" or "Restart" from KLaunch menu, all I can do is log-off (previously it would let me shutdown/restart) | 10:19 |
| eddiewould | 2) kpowersave won't let me suspend to ram/hibernate any more (options are grayed out) - they used to work. | 10:20 |
| eddiewould | I think these are both permissions issues.. any ideas? | 10:20 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: try making sudo apt-get install sysvinit | 10:21 |
| eddiewould | sergiu: What does that do? | 10:22 |
| joerack | Hello | 10:22 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: once it solved me a simmilar problem | 10:22 |
| joerack | I'm a ubuntu user. May I ask at what stat Kde 4.x is at? | 10:22 |
| joerack | stat | 10:22 |
| joerack | state* | 10:22 |
| favro | !kde4 | 10:23 |
| 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 | 10:23 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: try reading http://uhacc.org/LDP/LDP/lfs/5.0/html/appendixa/sysvinit.html | 10:23 |
| eddiewould | sergiu: Ok, will try. | 10:24 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: you can try in a terminal: "sudo apt-get purge sysvinit && sudo apt-get install sysvinit" | 10:24 |
| joerack | ubottu: but on a personal opinion, is kde 4.x stable? | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:25 |
| eddiewould | joerack: KDE4.1 is more stable for me than 4.0 was | 10:25 |
| eddiewould | (which I didn't expect) | 10:25 |
| sergiu | joerack: but less stable than kde 3.5* | 10:26 |
| joerack | that's what I wanted to hear | 10:26 |
| eddiewould | sergiu: init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl | 10:26 |
| eddiewould | Any ideas? | 10:26 |
| joerack | so It's still not ready for 3.5 replacement | 10:26 |
| === felix_ is now known as skamaniac | ||
| sergiu | eddiewould: I'm reading that "reboot -f" helps | 10:28 |
| sergiu | it will reboot your computer | 10:28 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: I've read it here http://thenthdoctor.blogspot.com/2007/03/timeout-openingwriting-control-channel.html | 10:28 |
| eddiewould | Hey all, | 10:31 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: did it help you? | 10:36 |
| eddiewould | sergiu: Nope :( | 10:36 |
| eddiewould | But I'm not sure if it worked properly | 10:36 |
| eddiewould | Thanks for your help though | 10:37 |
| eddiewould | I think it may be a group issue... Can you tell me what groups i should belong to? | 10:38 |
| eddiewould | eddie@eddie-laptop:~$ groups | 10:38 |
| eddiewould | eddie adm uucp dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev | 10:38 |
| sergiu | eddiewuld: everithing is ok with groups | 10:39 |
| eddiewould | hmmm ok :( | 10:39 |
| eddiewould | do I need an entry in sudoers? | 10:39 |
| eddiewould | (my sudoers is empty) | 10:40 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: you still get logged out? | 10:40 |
| eddiewould | hmm no the logging out thing seems to have gone away...*touches wood* | 10:40 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: so it seems your problem got solved :) | 10:41 |
| eddiewould | Which problem? :) | 10:41 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: with beeing kikked from kde. | 10:42 |
| eddiewould | Yes - that one seems to be gone. | 10:42 |
| eddiewould | Sorry, I thought the sysinit thing was for my other problem | 10:42 |
| eddiewould | But thanks for fixing the logging out problem! | 10:42 |
| sergiu | now you can shutdown your computer by typing "sudo shutdown -h now" in a terminal. | 10:43 |
| eddiewould | but but but... I could do that before | 10:43 |
| eddiewould | I shouldn't have to type sudo should I? | 10:43 |
| sergiu | generally, I need it also, I'm not sure about you. | 10:44 |
| eddiewould | When I run kpowersave as myself (without sudo) I'm getting the following error (as well as other warnings and errors): ERROR: Could not set CPU Freq, this not the needed privileges. | 10:48 |
| sergiu | eddiewould: so, run it with sudo. | 10:49 |
| eddiewould | but I didn't have to before! | 10:49 |
| eddiewould | I've broken something. And I want to un-break it | 10:50 |
| joerack | can I install kde on ubuntu? | 10:50 |
| geek | joerack: yes | 10:50 |
| joerack | using wubi? | 10:50 |
| abev66_ | joerack yep | 10:50 |
| geek | sure | 10:50 |
| joerack | I mean: have windows + wubi/ubuntu + wubu/kubuntu | 10:50 |
| sergiu | joerack: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 10:51 |
| joerack | no, you don't understand: I would like to have kubuntu under wubi indipendent from my wubi/ubuntu | 10:51 |
| joerack | in a was I need to access grub to access kde, not simply logoff/on | 10:52 |
| favro | a dual boot in a wubi install? | 10:53 |
| joerack | exactly | 10:53 |
| joerack | in a way it appears: Windows / Ubuntu / Kubuntu | 10:53 |
| favro | you'd need to read wubi's website to see if that's supported - it's not something many would want afaik | 10:54 |
| joerack | ok | 10:55 |
| joerack | so I'll remove wubi/ubuntu from my 2nd pc and replace with kubuntu | 10:56 |
| joerack | that should work | 10:56 |
| favro | you could install kubuntu-desktop then remove ubuntu | 10:56 |
| favro | !purekde | 10:57 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 10:57 |
| joerack | Oh I don't want that- I love my gnome | 10:57 |
| geek | joerack: why not run one of them in a VM? | 10:58 |
| joerack | nope- must be native | 10:59 |
| joerack | I'm still fighting against windows necessity... but I WILL win | 11:00 |
| geek | lol | 11:01 |
| * geek started weaning himself off windows through VMs ;p | 11:01 | |

| soulsurfer69 | hello | 12:18 |
| ghostcube | hi | 12:20 |
| ActionParsnip | quiet in here | 12:21 |
| yigit | Hi I need to ask a question | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | yigit | 12:22 |
| ubottu | yigit: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 12:22 |
| yigit | On 64 bit editions of kubuntu it writes amd64, but I can use them on my intel 64 bit processor, am I right? | 12:23 |
| favro | yep | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yes | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | its just able to address 64bit cpus and stuff | 12:24 |
| soulsurfer69 | Hi, I'm trying to get to get SKIM to work with korean (hangul) but even after following all the instructions I could find, it's still not working. Does anyone have experience with skim or scim? | 12:24 |
| soulsurfer69 | why isn't there an .xinitrc in the user's home directory? | 12:25 |
| favro | there's nothing wrong with making one | 12:26 |
| rareearth | soulsurfer69 look for .xsession | 12:26 |
| soulsurfer69 | in the home directory? | 12:27 |
| rareearth | yes | 12:27 |
| soulsurfer69 | there is just .xsession-errors | 12:27 |
| ghostcube | locate .xinitrc isnt showing anything ? | 12:27 |
| soulsurfer69 | it doesn't return any results | 12:28 |
| soulsurfer69 | by the way I tried typing export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" and then kate to use scim but it gave me the error QInputContext: no input method context available | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | soulsurfer69: sudo find / -name .xinitrc | 12:29 |
| soulsurfer69 | I'm using 8.04 with kde 3.5.9 I believe | 12:29 |
| soulsurfer69 | hmm | 12:30 |
| soulsurfer69 | the only .xinitrc that it found was in my home directory which I just created a bit ago | 12:30 |
| rareearth | I've no idea about SCIM, what do you need .xinitrc for? | 12:30 |
| * dr_willis wonders what the original problem was | 12:30 | |
| soulsurfer69 | to add some export commands | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | could put them in your .bash_profile | 12:31 |
| soulsurfer69 | I'm trying to get scim or skim to work so I can type in korean | 12:31 |
| soulsurfer69 | would that work for the whole Xwindows session though dr_willis? | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | .xinitrc only gets ran if you start X with 'startx' or use one of the special login sessions | 12:31 |
| soulsurfer69 | oh ok | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | it should be get exported to all apps | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | try it and see I guess. :) | 12:32 |
| soulsurfer69 | but that isn't used using kdm? | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | Huh? | 12:32 |
| soulsurfer69 | why wouldn't it be using startx? | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | kdm/gdm have a special 'session' i recall that runs .xinitrc, or .xsession to allow you to totally 'customize' your X | 12:33 |
| favro | .bash_profile is used every time you login | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | startx also reads the .xinitrc | 12:33 |
| soulsurfer69 | ok | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | .bash_profile is read/parses/ran by LOGIN shells. :) One of which gets started when you login via kdm/gdm | 12:33 |
| soulsurfer69 | ok | 12:34 |
| soulsurfer69 | thanks. I guess I'll have to keep digging about the locale stuff so I can figure out how to run the im engine | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | KDE also has the autostart stuff.. but i guess it depends on exactly what you are doing. :) | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | !autostart | 12:35 |
| ubottu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | wow thats a popintless app | 12:36 |
| soulsurfer69 | yeah. I don't think it's the automatically starting part that's the problem. I can't even seem to make it work temporarily | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | open a term. set the variables, run the app as a test | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | Ive never used scim or skim, - i recall having to disalbe it befor. :) | 12:38 |
| soulsurfer69 | Cool | 12:39 |
| soulsurfer69 | it worked | 12:39 |
| soulsurfer69 | when I just ran the export commands and then something after it. so I guess it is an issue of .xinitrc not being run | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | make a script that sets the variables and runs the app. :) then autostart that script.. perhaps. is one way also.. | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | .xinitrc will NOT get ran when you login to kde/gnome/whatever from KDM. | 12:40 |
| soulsurfer69 | you said .bash_profile would run too though right? | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | it will ONLY get ran if you use the 'startx' command, or that 'custome' kdm session I recall. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | .bash_profile gets ran by login shells.. .bashrc gets ran by every shell | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | well every bash shell. :) | 12:41 |
| soulsurfer69 | oh ok. how can I make it just run at the start? just an Autostart script? | 12:41 |
| soulsurfer69 | there must be a better way | 12:41 |
| === Extrapan100 is now known as Extrapan100^BNC | ||
| soulsurfer69 | like .xinitrc but for kde | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | Thats about as better as it can get... | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | you can put the commands in a file and put it in your kde autostart dir.. thats simpiler then worrying about .xinitrc | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | 'better' dosent figure into it at all. :) | 12:42 |
| soulsurfer69 | hehe | 12:43 |
| soulsurfer69 | ok | 12:43 |
| soulsurfer69 | more standard way | 12:43 |
| soulsurfer69 | how about that? | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | Or you could check out the kde session management stuff | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | KDE has the Autostart dir as its standard. | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | Gnome has a session manager thing.. | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | some other desktops/window managers have their own autostart stuff. | 12:43 |
| soulsurfer69 | huh ok | 12:43 |
| soulsurfer69 | but I just move the script right into Autostart? | 12:45 |
| soulsurfer69 | or a subdirectory? | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | !autostart | 12:45 |
| ubottu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | a link, or a copy. | 12:45 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ok, in gutsy, I can pop a dvd into any of the 2 drives I have in my machine and it would be detected and played by kaffeine. After I upgraded, I can't play a dvd in either unless I go and manually change the /dev/<drive> how can I get this to be automatically like in Gutsy? | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | it can be a link to a executable, or a executable script. or even a Somthing.desktop file | 12:46 |
| soulsurfer69 | ok cool | 12:46 |
| soulsurfer69 | ok I'll try that. I'm going to restart kde to test it out :) | 12:47 |
| soulsurfer69 | thanks | 12:47 |
| soulsurfer69 | awesome it worked. thanks :) | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | Linux FUNdamentals! | 12:50 |
| mefisto__ | gundam_rx78nt1: manually change the /dev/<drive> ??? where do you do that change? | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | clarify the whole problem perhaps? | 12:51 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I have to go into settings, xine engine parameters | 12:51 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | it would also happen with gstreamer engine | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | The /media links (and fstab entries) set the location of the cd's It could be that a normal install has some different setup then a system with 2 optical drives | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | i HATE cd/dvd autorunning stuff.. so i disable it :) | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: me too, I also disable automountin of usb stuffs | 12:53 |
| dr_willis | I dont mind the mounting.. but when i am getting ready to burn a dvd.. and i pop in a blank.. and i allready have k3b open ... i dont need the app asking me what to do again.. | 12:54 |
| shane | greetings | 12:54 |
| mefisto__ | dr_willis: I actually like that, because it confirms that the disk is loaded ready to go | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | mefisto__, i belive the 'burn' button is ghosted.. untill its ready.. :) so its redundant. | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | but theres other issues with 'auto running stuff' also.. but Im too tired to go into it. :) and its somewhat obscure situations | 12:57 |
| mefisto__ | redundancy is not necessarily a bad thing | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | like speed bumps in front of a stop sign... | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | of course windows wants to default to 'speed up your pc' as the default action for all these usb/media cards I use... | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | Lets use the thing that people would use the LEAST as the first item in the list. :) | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: just disable those too ;) | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mind youo windows needs all the speeding up it can get | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | for fun.. have a setup/office where like 8 users all vnc to the linux box running kde.. then pop in a cd.. all 8 users get a 'what to do with cd' dialog. :) | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | Well its bed time here - Night all.... | 13:04 |

| lettfeti | Hi i installed kde via adept packet manager. Am now unable to login on GNOME. I'm browsing forums and can't find a similar problem. When i login to GNOME now i basically get an empty screen, anyone know how to fix? Please note that i am relatively new to unix based systems. Also i do not want to remove kde | 14:01 |
| rgreening | lettfeti: Hardy or Intrepid? ANd did you change the default display manager when prompted (and what did you select) | 14:02 |
| lettfeti | Hardy, when first i selected kde i said just for this session, then i just selected GNOME and made that default but all i got was an orange screen with no icons or anything viewable | 14:04 |
| favro | lettfeti: at the orange screen does alt+F2 work? try metacity --replace | 14:06 |
| lettfeti | i'll write that down and try. Also i have one more little nuisance i'd like to ask about.. the kde wallet thing | 14:07 |
| lettfeti | i'm on wireless and i'd rather not want to type in the password for the wallet each time i connect to the network | 14:07 |
| lettfeti | Lastly, how do i remove the system peep? | 14:09 |
| KRF | lettfeti, you have to remove some kernel module, but i dont know which one :p | 14:10 |
| KRF | lettfeti, for kwallet: enter an empty password | 14:10 |
| KRF | lettfeti, `sudo modprobe -r pcrspkr` should solve that beep problem | 14:11 |
| KRF | lettfeti, `sudo modprobe -r pcspkr` should solve that beep problem | 14:12 |

| younthk | today ,i used gparted to formate my mp3,some error happened,and the system,gparted ,even vista(i use ubuntu),can never read it again,the light is still shinning. i guess the mp3 is still ok ,so how can i make it all right? can anyone help ? | 17:44 |
| younthk | thanks | 17:45 |

| younthk | no ,the system can not read it | 17:46 |

| younthk | no it doesn't ,but the mp3 is lighting | 17:47 |

| younthk | thanks all the same | 17:52 |
| izzyb | lol | 17:52 |

| stdin | younthk: "sudo modprobe ehci_hcd" and all the modules you removed with "rmmod", then plug the device in and see if gparted shows it | 17:53 |

| younthk | sorry sudo | 17:58 |
| stdin | younthk: I'm not sure then, I'd maybe suggest restarting to make sure all the modules are properly loaded. but if it still doesn't show then I'm out of ideas | 18:00 |
| younthk | you mean restart my computer? | 18:00 |

| _2 | yeah | 18:39 |
| _2 | i just got here, so.... | 18:39 |
| MrKennie | well, I made a karamba theme but running sk from terminal indicats calls to code that doesn't exist anymore in mine | 18:39 |

| bbits | it is just a mounting point | 18:41 |
| bbits | youthk> i think you may have hardware trouble, unless i have missed something | 18:42 |
| _2 | MrKennie no. i mean the changes in the kernel leading to 2.6.* maybe a quick scan of the kernel changelog would find it ? | 18:42 |
| younthk | oh thanks | 18:42 |
| MrKennie | _2: filesystem issues? | 18:42 |

| richardbh | heres a tricky one: if we assume that 'sudo chmod 0750 /' got typed into a terminal and executed, is there any way I can rescue the system? | 18:48 |
| _2 | richardbh sure, boot to rescue mode and chmod 0555 / | 18:49 |
| bbits | rich> boot from a live cd and then fix ? | 18:49 |
| _2 | richardbh sure, boot to rescue mode and chmod 00055 / # will work too. as will chmod 0001 / | 18:50 |
| richardbh | _2: if ive blanked the grub menu, how can I get it to appear as it boots? | 18:50 |
| _2 | but the last of those is a little different than most expect a system to work. | 18:50 |
| _2 | richardbh when grub loads. "assuming it does" you can enter command mode. | 18:51 |
| _2 | richardbh [esc] [c] [enter] | 18:51 |
| richardbh | cool, thanks | 18:51 |
| richardbh | what should the default permissions be on /? | 18:51 |

| ico2 | to add to my previous request for information: I also installed lvm (that probably helped a little) | 19:02 |
| ico2 | maybe I should take this to #ubuntu since i don't reckon it's specific to kubuntu? | 19:03 |
| bbits | ico2: it does sound like a very specialist question | 19:04 |
| bbits | ico2: perhaps you should ask some kernel developers | 19:04 |
| bbits | ico2: or find a contact by looking at the kernel docs | 19:05 |

| ico2 | bbits: it's hardly a kernel issue | 19:05 |
| _2 | ls -ld / d???r-xr-x the three question marks can be any combonation of "r w x or -" it will not affect the system in any way that i have ever been able to detect. i don't mind being corrected if i'm wrong, but don't just blurt out some untested unproven assertion as if it were fact. that's all i have to say about that. | 19:05 |

| ruschi | Hi on kubuntu 8.10 I realized strange behavior concerning Icons: in the application menu I can see a firefox-icon. When added to favourites or to the panel the icon disappears (is substituted by a generic gears icon). | 19:47 |
| ruschi | can anyone confirm this behavior? | 19:47 |

| ubottu | Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion.

| zer0o | kronoman: check your dns | 21:07 |
| kronoman | if I enter using a IP, I can use google, but with www.google.com I get a blank page | 21:07 |
| zer0o | kronoman: exaclty! check your DNS | 21:08 |
| kronoman | how can I do that? | 21:08 |
| zer0o | Teisei: i am connected but there's no icon on the tray at the moment and when there is it doesnt work | 21:08 |
| Teisei | kronoman: more /etc/resolv.conf | 21:08 |
| Teisei | zer0o: Hmm, weird | 21:09 |
| kronoman | ok, now what I do with that info? | 21:09 |
| Teisei | kronoman: Does it match with what you should have ? | 21:09 |
| zer0o | Teisei: how can i at least put back the icon there? | 21:09 |
| kronoman | I don't know what I should have :o | 21:09 |
| Teisei | kronoman: Any papers given to you by your ISP ? | 21:09 |

| zer0o | alright thanks | 21:10 |
| kronoman | Teisei: I yahooed (yuck) my ISP + dns and the first news that I got is that they have their DNS down | 21:10 |

| PhilRod | Catdaemon`: ifconfig | 22:32 |
| Catdaemon` | only eth0 and lo are listed so I assume that's the problem then | 22:32 |
| PhilRod | Catdaemon`: then you can look in the output of dmesg to see if the card loaded or failed | 22:33 |

| Catdaemon` | I have just compiled the drivers so I don't think they're set up to load on startup yet - I've run the script that came with them and the adapter shows up now | 22:34 |

| lettfeti | Hi. i'm having problems with GNOME after installing kde. It won't load anything up, i'm stuck with the orange background and nothing happens, KDE's fine can't log back in on GNOME. Just wondering if anyone knows this problem and or how to fix it. | 22:37 |
| Catdaemon` | wicd is hanging at "obtaining IP address" and then disconnects itself. I'm fairly sure this isn't the router's fault because it all works flawlessly on windows. I've disabled encryption on the router for now to ensure this isn't the problem. How can I see what is going on behind the scenes? | 22:38 |

| SeanTater | A program polluted my .xsession-errors file with over 50GB of garbage, so I restarted X. Unfortunately, ksmserver still has the file open. Is is safe to kill ksmserver? | 22:51 |
| bobbo85 | How can I record whatever sound i'm playing to an audio file? | 22:52 |
| SeanTater | bobbo85: I was going to do that once (I wanted to play the music in all my computers), however it's moredifficult than you would think. Xine can pipe to a file instead of a speaker if you like, but you'd have to recompress it. | 22:53 |
| bobbo85 | SeanTater, I keep seeing articles that audacity can just record whatever sound is playing... but the input meter isn't picking anything up, like i have it set to the wrong device or something | 22:54 |
| SeanTater | I honestly don't know about audacity, but you might be able to find some tidbit about a different output for pulse, artsd, or alsa (I could not find anything, but I'm no expert researcher) | 22:55 |
| Catdaemon` | when I run dchclient I get "No DHCPOFFERS recieved." | 22:56 |
| bobbo85 | I really don't know what much of that stuff is, I'm a newb. What's pulse, alsa, oss, artsd? | 22:57 |
| Catdaemon` | sound servers, they're programs which other programs use to play sound (correct me if I'm wrong) | 22:58 |
| bobbo85 | yeah thought so, it seems it shouldn't be so complicated to just record the sound on its way out to the speakers | 23:00 |
| Catdaemon` | according to my router my laptop is being given 192.168.1.4, why isn't the laptop working properly :| | 23:00 |
| SeanTater | bobbo85: I would think so and it would be great if someone who develops those programs thought of that. What are you trying to do with it though? Maybe there is an alternate method? | 23:03 |
| Denise | sometimes they dont know what they do with it | 23:05 |

| bobbo85 | SeanTater, there is a song that I love, but it is one of those songs that's embedded in a webpage, i can play it but not download it | 23:06 |

| Catdaemon` | so if there's no encryption it hangs trying to get an IP and if there is it hangs validating the authentication.. I've been trying to get this working for a whole day now with no success. The main issue is that I have no idea where the problem lies. | 23:09 |
| bobbo85 | Catdaemon`, it's a complete guess, but maybe you can delete a config folder/file somewhere that would reset your network card stuff on your laptop | 23:11 |
| Catdaemon` | it has never worked | 23:11 |
| bobbo85 | oh | 23:11 |
| Catdaemon` | actually I did get it to connect to a friend's wifi for about 15 minutes before it dropped and ceased working again but I don't really consider that workin | 23:11 |
| Catdaemon` | g | 23:11 |
| bobbo85 | does the card work? have you tried another card? (some cheap usb card or somethin) | 23:12 |
| Denise | freind's wifi | 23:13 |
| Denise | ok | 23:13 |
| Catdaemon` | no seriously a friend's wifi :p, the card works fine on windows and I don't have another to test | 23:14 |
| Denise | villlage's idiot? | 23:15 |
| jerry_ | hi i was woundering, can i duel boot with windows xp ultimate by johnny? | 23:15 |
| jerry_ | does anyone even know what that is? | 23:16 |
| jerry_ | i know its not that common | 23:16 |
| Catdaemon` | is this some scene release name or something | 23:16 |
| Catdaemon` | you can dual boot with whatever operating system, it doesn't matter if it's "by johnny" | 23:17 |
| jerry_ | umm hes a guy who doesnt like windows so he modified windows xp like it should have been all along | 23:17 |
| jerry_ | vista | 23:17 |
| jerry_ | so is there a good detailed web site that explains all the steps to duel booting with windows xp? | 23:17 |
| rickest | jerry_: what have you read that you didn't understand? | 23:18 |
| Catdaemon` | the ubuntu installer does it all for you generally, there is no need for any guide | 23:18 |
| jerry_ | well i havent read much about duel booting, but at the moment with school i need windows, but i love kubuntu to much to leave it | 23:18 |
| jerry_ | so i decided to mabe reinstall windows then duel boot. | 23:19 |
| rickest | jerry_: for the most part it's seamless. install windows first, then (k)ubuntu and the latter will pretty much take care of everything | 23:19 |
| rickest | jerry_: google 'windows vista ubuntu dual boot' for 620,000+ results if you need more info | 23:20 |
| jerry_ | i see | 23:20 |
| jerry_ | thanks | 23:20 |
| rickest | jerry_: the only important thing I can think of is be sure not to install Windows /after/ Linux. It will overwrite the boot record which is recoverable but a pain if you've never done it | 23:21 |
| Catdaemon` | is there some sort of wireless card diagnostic tool | 23:21 |
| jerry_ | got it | 23:22 |
| Denise | k | 23:24 |
| IcyPolecat | jerry_: another option would be to virtualise Windows ... it's what I do at work :-D | 23:27 |

| Catdaemon` | I really can't figure out how to diagnose this http://xs131.xs.to/xs131/08401/snapshot2658.png | 23:49 |
