| lufthanza | how do I remove the multitude of kde html docs on my computer? | 00:27 |
| izzyb | lufthanza, I'm not sure, but this might pint you in the right direction: dpkg -l | grep doc | 00:30 |
| izzyb | I'm guessing kubuntu-docs would be the one to remove | 00:31 |
| izzyb | but possibly others | 00:31 |
| mike-solidus | I need help getting kubuntu to see my sata drive on an intel ICH10 chipset I already have it installed, I just neet it to somehow see my hd | 00:31 |
| lufthanza | izzyb: thanks, I've been trying to find an easy way to see what's installed | 00:31 |
| izzyb | dpkg -l will do that for you | 00:32 |
| lufthanza | izzyb: i had found kubuntu-docs before, sadly, a file it needs to alter is corrupt or something | 00:32 |
| izzyb | what does it complain about? | 00:33 |
| lufthanza | izzyb: now it's complaining about "subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" | 00:34 |
| lufthanza | izzyb: I need to create an firefox-homepage alternatives file to replace the corrupt one i deleted | 00:34 |
| radovich | ola | 00:35 |
| izzyb | hmm, odd, doesn't look like kubunut-docs has any dependency issues on my system | 00:35 |
| lufthanza | izzyb: it tries to modify firefox-homepage on mine, but it's deleted | 00:36 |
| _2 | k oo boo nut | 00:36 |
| izzyb | try creating an empty file using touch /path/to/file | 00:36 |
| radovich | i wonder when will linux get some kickass basic icons (e.g kool kde ikons or a gnome set with no foot in your face :)) | 00:37 |

| izzyb | lufthanza, I'm not sure what the problem is and I'm not very good at fixing broken package problems. they tend to leave me frustrated also :( | 00:40 |
| _2 | reinstall the package that contains the file. | 00:40 |
| lufthanza | _2: easier said than done -.- | 00:41 |
| lufthanza | _2: both the firefox package and seemingly the kubuntu-docs package don't contain the file | 00:41 |
| === root is now known as Guest53832 | ||
| _2 | lufthanza what's the filename and path ? | 00:42 |
| izzyb | Guest53832, bad things can happen to you if you irc as root | 00:42 |
| lufthanza | _2: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-homepage | 00:42 |
| gaetano_ | ciao a tutti | 00:43 |
| _2 | basename $(grep -Rwe "/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-homepage" /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | sed 's/\.list.*//g') #drop that in a terminal. | 00:43 |
| lufthanza | missing operand | 00:44 |
| _2 | wasn't in a package then. | 00:44 |
| lufthanza | lovely | 00:44 |
| _2 | was generated via a command. | 00:44 |
| _2 | it's probably a symlink to something else | 00:45 |
| _2 | oh wait. i just looked at the path. | 00:45 |
| _2 | sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-homepage | 00:45 |
| lufthanza | _2: i've done that already | 00:46 |
| _2 | k run sudo dpkg --configure -a | 00:46 |
| lufthanza | k | 00:46 |
| lufthanza | _2: wasn't generated | 00:47 |
| _2 | lufthanza ok if that didn't throw errors you should be able to remove your "package" | 00:47 |
| lufthanza | _2: kubuntu-docs is still complaining about no alternatives for firefox-homepage | 00:48 |
| lufthanza | _2: creating a blank file with touch doesn't work either | 00:48 |
| _2 | of course not. | 00:48 |
| _2 | not in that dir. | 00:48 |
| _2 | that's where alternatives are configured | 00:48 |
| _2 | update-alternatives --remove-all firefox-homepage | 00:50 |
| _2 | sudo that might fix it. | 00:50 |
| lufthanza | No alternatives for firefox-homepage. | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | wow.. we need alternatives for homepages.. :) | 00:52 |
| _2 | and testing the other command does ? | 00:52 |

| some_dude | kcron does not work | 00:57 |
| afeijo | It is for test, my php game works great on FF, but IE users (blargh) reports bugs | 00:59 |
| some_dude | any idea what files kcron actully is writting to ? | 01:00 |
| Agent_bob | lufthanza kubuntu-docs generated it. so. sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-docs && sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-docs | 01:00 |
| Agent_bob | lufthanza if it pukes pastebin it. | 01:00 |
| Agent_bob | incase that didn't come through before the reset. | 01:00 |
| Agent_bob | some_dude writting to ? | 01:01 |
| Agent_bob | some_dude would depend on the job i guess | 01:01 |
| some_dude | it has to write to like /var/spool/cron or my local crontab or something | 01:01 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: already tried reinstalling kubuntu-docs | 01:02 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: no luck | 01:02 |
| Agent_bob | some_dude you mean when you add a job ? | 01:02 |
| Agent_bob | lufthanza did you run that command or not ^ ? | 01:02 |
| some_dude | yea | 01:02 |
| lufthanza | yes, i ran sudo apt-get install kubuntu-docs --reinstall | 01:03 |
| some_dude | I can't find the job, and it would seem cron can't either | 01:03 |
| lufthanza | BUT I JUST FIXED IT MYSELF!!! | 01:03 |
| * lufthanza dances triumphantly | 01:03 | |
| lufthanza | the secret was 'sudo update-alternatives --install /etc/alternatives/firefox-homepage firefox-homepage /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-hompage 1" | 01:04 |
| * Agent_bob <rolls eyes> that command is in the postinst script. | 01:05 | |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: well, for some reason the postinst script refused to run | 01:06 |
| === root is now known as Guest5653 | ||
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: also, where can I access a deb file's post install scripts? It would be helpful if i ever run into something like this again (and I will considering the week I've had). | 01:07 |
| Agent_bob | lufthanza i'm hesitant to tell you... | 01:07 |
| Agent_bob | /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 01:07 |
| lufthanza | thanks | 01:08 |
| Agent_bob | you can break things thre. | 01:08 |
| Agent_bob | there | 01:08 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: yeah, well my stuff is already broken | 01:08 |
| * Agent_bob <rolls eyes again> | 01:08 | |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: like last night i found out the man executable was missing, and the man-db package was broken too | 01:09 |
| Agent_bob | lufthanza you removed /etc/alternatives/ ? | 01:09 |
| Agent_bob | or running intrepid ? | 01:09 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: nope, hardy heron | 01:10 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: and i had to remove /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-homepage because it had become corrupted | 01:10 |
| Agent_bob | lufthanza you should never have to enter /var/lib at all. | 01:11 |
| Agent_bob | piriod. | 01:11 |
| Agent_bob | that's like the reactor room of a nuke sub | 01:11 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: well, how would you have handled a corrupted file within it? | 01:12 |
| Agent_bob | you aren't cleared to enter that. so stay out. | 01:12 |
| Agent_bob | through the package manager | 01:12 |
| lufthanza | Agent_bob: the package manager was erroring out | 01:12 |
| Agent_bob | so | 01:12 |
| * Agent_bob knows how to force things | 01:13 | |
| Agent_bob | !dpkg | 01:13 |
| ubottu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 01:13 |

| chrisruls00 | ok, I can loggin to ssh. I figured out how to do the local-port forwarding thing. And I can launch vnc and log into an already started session. | 01:21 |
| chrisruls00 | But I want to be able to create a new session and log into it from there, so I could log-in as another user | 01:22 |
| chrisruls00 | how would I go about doing that? | 01:22 |
| andreas | andreas | 01:25 |
| chrisruls00 | I tried running: | 01:25 |

| lufthanza | Agent_bob: whenever you can give me an answer on that clean method of repair it would be much appreciated. i am tired of having to muscle my way through these errors. | 01:26 |
| np_laptop | lufthanza, repair what? | 01:26 |
| chrisruls00 | but it says I will need to find and use the raw display manager MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file... | 01:26 |

| hays | how alpha? is it usable? | 03:41 |
| john__ | no idea | 03:44 |
| john__ | i think alpha 6 | 03:44 |

| NickPresta | !hi | rob | 04:26 |
| ubottu | rob: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 04:26 |
| rob | I've used add/remove programs in kubuntu 8.04. To install some programs. How do I update the menus where the installed programs will show in the menus? | 04:26 |
| rob | i've tried logging in and out but that doesnt work | 04:27 |
| NickPresta | rob, the menu should be fairly self-cleaning. If there is an application in your menu which shouldn't be there anymore, you can remove it manually | 04:28 |
| rob | im more worried about the ones i have installed....they just wont show up.....i should have made myself clearer in the stated question | 04:29 |
| NickPresta | rob, hmm. I know there is a package called 'kappfinder', which will search for applications and add them to your menu. You could try that. | 04:30 |
| rob | nickpresta installed that app and tried it but it doesnt show the ones i have installed that are not showing up | 04:34 |
| NickPresta | rob, which applications, specifically? | 04:34 |
| rob | but it did find a few not in menus | 04:34 |
| rob | actually not the ones i need in the menus | 04:35 |
| rob | give my a sec to look on add/remove | 04:35 |
| rob | achilles life simulator, Adun, Marble, open universe space simulator, planets those are the ones that dont show up in edutainment menu | 04:38 |
| NickPresta | rob, and all these applications have some sort of GUI frontend? | 04:38 |
| rob | i would assume that they do.....it doesnt tell how to start them from konsole...if it did i would just make a program launcher for them and put it on the desktop | 04:40 |
| NickPresta | well, you can create a new menu entry in your menu if you want, to add those items | 04:40 |
| rob | What about the command $sudo update-menus ? <<<doesnt seem to do much good | 04:41 |
| NickPresta | rob, it should do something but again, nothing is perfect. You can manually add those entries | 04:42 |
| rob | ok i'll give your idea a try | 04:44 |
| rob | thanks for the help | 04:44 |

| soulsurfer69 | hi | 10:31 |
| tt_ | hey, everyone .. happy kubuntu user here. I use some GTK programs, such as Thunderbird, and they get "C" locale settings. However, if I set LC_TIME to something reasonable, I get the correct time display. Anywhere I can hook in to tell every GTK program to set LC_TIME my way ? | 10:31 |
| Abaddon | hi | 10:31 |
| soulsurfer69 | where are you setting LC_TIME now? | 10:32 |
| monak | (: | 10:32 |
| tt_ | soulsurfer69: in my konsole instance .. | 10:32 |
| soulsurfer69 | i know you can make a script with export LC_TIME in it and put it in your .kde/Autostart directory | 10:33 |
| tt_ | "export LC_TIME="nb_NO.UTF-8" && thunderbird" gives me the right behavior .. | 10:33 |
| soulsurfer69 | so that might work for all gtk programs | 10:33 |
| tt_ | soulsurfer69: okay, that doesn't sound so bad, but I was maybe thinking of something a bit more generic .. in a X startup file, maybe ? | 10:34 |
| tt_ | I might migrate away from kde, and still want it to work .. | 10:34 |
| soulsurfer69 | yeah i was thinking that too when i got this advice | 10:36 |
| soulsurfer69 | but since kubuntu uses kdm, i guess the .xinitrc doesn't get called, so the only way that i was made aware of was the Autostart scripts | 10:37 |
| soulsurfer69 | but I'm sure there's a better way to set your LC_TIME | 10:37 |
| tt_ | soulsurfer69: right, right .. well, thanks for the advance. Seems to be a workable solution .. very few things in this world are optimal :-) | 10:37 |
| soulsurfer69 | yeah :) i did a quick search though and saw this http://mail.linux.ie/pipermail/ilug/2007-January/091596.html | 10:38 |

| faileas | Pici: you have the option of a CLI only install IIRC | 13:32 |
| faileas | my previous server was running that before i switched it to debian | 13:32 |
| faileas | (no political reasons, just wanted to try it ;p) | 13:32 |
| Bono | so ....can u tell me how did it run....? | 13:33 |
| Bono | i mean .... no problems ? | 13:33 |
| faileas | yeah | 13:33 |
| faileas | wasn't a QIII server but ran like a champ on a fairly geriatric rig | 13:33 |
| * faileas was using it for nx on a PIII 450 ;p | 13:34 | |
| faileas | initially it was non GUI though | 13:34 |
| Bono | i intend to use it on P4 1,8Ghz 512mb ram as a box | 13:35 |
| faileas | lol | 13:35 |
| skole | I have upgraded to Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 4. Now I can't access files with norwegian letters in the file name. The computer doesn't recognize them. | 13:35 |
| skole | For example: M�te- og kursplan h�sten 2008.doc | 13:35 |
| faileas | shouldn't be a problem ;p | 13:35 |
| vendentta | last night my mp3 player cannot be recognised by gparted,vista,partiton magic,or xp livecd ,i got an answer that there was an hardware problem. then i left it with its light on ,this morning the power is off ,then i tried gparted again .dramatically gparted showed it , | 13:35 |
| Bono | well...just one thing...when u install server edition....are u under GUI...or terminal ? | 13:36 |
| faileas | terminal | 13:36 |
| Bono | great | 13:36 |
| faileas | why would a server need a GUI? ;p | 13:36 |

| ico2 | hi, I'm trying to make ubuntu boot from software raid. I eventually managed to make it install. I chrooted into it from the livecd, mount /boot and then installed mdadm which put mdadm in the initramfs. now I can manually assemble the array and boot after it drops me into a shell. what I am currently trying to do is make it do this automatically. it doesn't seem to be detecting the array, so I've been having to specify the devices, I've been trying to modify | 16:39 |
| ico2 | the behaviour of the script in the initramfs to do this for me. I've been editing /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/mdadm and then running update-initramfs -u. is this correct? can anyone help me with this? | 16:39 |
| ico2 | *kubuntu | 16:39 |
| Mcklaren | hi | 16:41 |
| Agent_bob | ico2 that's the methood i would use. you might edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init also. | 16:41 |
| ico2 | Agent_bob: thanks, I'll try that, brb | 16:41 |
| Agent_bob | err !scripts/ but you know what i mean | 16:41 |
| * Agent_bob neglected to point out that the methoods he chooses are often condemned by the others in here, as being "just plain stupid"... ;/ | 16:46 | |
| ico2 | Agent_bob: hmmm, it seems my changes are having to effect at all. I tried putting exit at the top of init and it doesn't do it | 16:47 |
| ico2 | it's definitely recreating the initramfs, I deleted it in the middle to check that | 16:47 |
| ico2 | but it seems to be ignoring these scripts | 16:47 |
| Agent_bob | you can't kill init kernel will panic that might be why your test failed. | 16:48 |
| ico2 | exactly | 16:48 |
| ico2 | it should have done something | 16:48 |
| Agent_bob | try echo boo in place of exit | 16:48 |
| ico2 | good plan, just have to turn silent on so it isn't lost in the sea of kernel messages | 16:49 |
| ico2 | *quiet | 16:49 |
| Agent_bob | or both | 16:49 |
| ico2 | ok, it's definitely not running | 16:50 |
| Agent_bob | hmmmm... it's not using initrd in place of initramfs or your's not editing the wrong one ? | 16:51 |
| Agent_bob | your's ? | 16:52 |
| ico2 | definitely using initramfs | 16:52 |
| ico2 | and there is only 1 | 16:52 |
| ico2 | and it's definitely getting generated by update-initramfs | 16:52 |
| Agent_bob | ico2 so you are saying that it's ignoring it's own files when generating a new image </blinks> | 16:53 |
| ico2 | Agent_bob: stracing it shows it only opens /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf and the output file | 16:53 |
| * ico2 goes to see what this config file contains | 16:53 | |
| ico2 | nothing interesting | 16:54 |
| ico2 | this is off | 16:54 |
| ico2 | *odd | 16:54 |
| Agent_bob | ico2 ummm hmmm i'm curious too. | 16:54 |
| ico2 | i'm not sure how this is possible | 16:55 |
| Agent_bob | they have changed this stuff around, i have /etc/mkinitramfs/initramfs.conf in place of your /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf | 16:57 |
| ico2 | oh | 16:57 |
| ico2 | my bad | 16:57 |
| ico2 | 1 moment | 16:57 |
| ico2 | it forks and i forgot to tell strace to follow it | 16:57 |
| Agent_bob | but that conf file is not the issue i can tell you that without looking at it. | 16:58 |
| gm04030276 | ok...problem...my sound keeps dying. I was on with this problem a few days ago and someone told me to sudo alsa force-reload and that eventually worked...this time it didn't :( | 16:58 |

| Agent_bob | ico2 you can also mount the image file and look around in it just to be sure what is there. | 16:59 |
| Agent_bob | they will loop mount sysfs i think | 17:00 |
| Agent_bob | i haven't had to build one manually sense dapper | 17:01 |
| bibstha | how do i callibrate my touch pad? | 17:02 |
| bibstha | the taps are really lagging / slow | 17:02 |
| Claymor1 | I have a touchpad question too please. | 17:02 |
| ico2 | ok, it's in there, leads me to suspect that it is loading the wrong one | 17:03 |
| ico2 | perhaps it isn't getting written to disk before the VM runs? I've been unmounting the filesystem each time | 17:04 |
| ico2 | hmmm | 17:04 |
| ico2 | I'll try actually rebooting into it | 17:04 |

| bibstha | lemme take a look | 17:06 |
| Agent_bob | i'm not stopping you. | 17:06 |
| Claymor1 | thank you very much, been there already. My question regards how to get the lappy to recognize either a PS2 Mouse (external), OR the touchpad. I'm quite a noob but I have RTFM a bit. | 17:07 |
| Agent_bob | Claymor1 ps2 has to be plugged in when powered on. | 17:08 |
| Claymor1 | Hi Agent_Bob, Cold reboot then? I tried a restart. ? | 17:08 |
| Agent_bob | or at least i have never seen successful hotpluging of ps2. | 17:08 |

| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 17:09 |
| Agent_bob | Claymor1 you may also need to add an input device in your xorg.conf | 17:10 |
| Agent_bob | i'm not sure how automatic that is in your version of ubuntu | 17:10 |
| Claymor1 | Thanks Agent_Bob. I'll look that over again and see if maybe I added it wrong. Will do a cold boot too and see if maybe that is the issue. Then I'll report back. | 17:11 |
| Claymor1 | Thanks! | 17:11 |

| Hariharakadan | I am curious. If I do a lot of pausing and resuming with this ISO download on bit torrent will it cause it to become corrupted? Also my service flakes out a lot. | 17:44 |
| faileas | Hariharakadan: no. torrents will check for it | 17:44 |
| Hariharakadan | Ah thank you. :) | 17:44 |
| faileas | thats why they are better | 17:44 |
| Hariharakadan | Didn't know. Kinda new to bit torrents. :) | 17:45 |
| Hariharakadan | I like 'em every minute though. | 17:45 |
| faileas | ;p | 17:45 |
| faileas | best thing since sliced bread IMO ;p | 17:45 |
| faileas | especially for large files | 17:45 |
| Hariharakadan | Yea :) | 17:45 |
| Hariharakadan | Back in the day I used to download Redhat ISOs on dialup. Took 2 weeks to find out it was corrupted when it finished ;p | 17:46 |
| Hariharakadan | if+ | 17:46 |
| Hariharakadan | This upgrade to Hughes net is kinda worse then Dialup at times. | 17:46 |
| faileas | hmm | 17:47 |
| faileas | connected through a router? | 17:47 |
| Hariharakadan | Na, the modem acts as a router / modem. :/ | 17:47 |
| faileas | routers can choke on too many connections | 17:47 |
| Hariharakadan | Also it cannot be modified on the customers side. | 17:47 |
| faileas | might wanna mess around with the torrent client ;p | 17:48 |
| Hariharakadan | There used to be a trick where you decommission / recommission the modem and it would reset your FAP for the day. | 17:48 |
| Hariharakadan | That's about all I can really do with it. | 17:48 |
| Hariharakadan | Might be able to finish the entire ISO at 3:00-6:00AM EST. That's the only time where the FAP doesn't count. | 17:49 |
| pipetux | canal español? | 17:49 |
| faileas | FAP? | 17:49 |

| Hariharakadan | Fair Access Policy. A download limit :/ | 17:50 |
| Hariharakadan | 700 MB to be exact. | 17:50 |
| Hariharakadan | Seems to get smaller every year. | 17:50 |
| pipetux | ok | 17:50 |
| stdin | pausing/resuming a torrent shouldn't corrupt it, even if it ended up corrupted you can do a data integrity check and re-download the corrupt bits | 17:51 |
| Hariharakadan | Ah thank you. :) | 17:52 |
| Hariharakadan | Kinda new to burning ISO's to. Been stuck on Dialup for almost 6 years. | 17:53 |
| faileas | XD | 17:53 |
| faileas | you *could* order ubuntu disks | 17:53 |
| faileas | bit of a wait, but very shiny | 17:53 |
| Hariharakadan | Yea already did that and it came in damaged :/ Waiting on it but oh well might as well give this a shot. | 17:53 |
| faileas | erf | 17:54 |
| faileas | mine were in good shape every time | 17:54 |
| Hariharakadan | er on a new one+ | 17:54 |
| faileas | pondering doing it when i upgrade from hardy | 17:54 |
| Hariharakadan | Never put it in a computer till I got one that I could fully install it to as well. Did a CD check and only one file was damaged. | 17:55 |
| Hariharakadan | Air blasted the drive and tried it again then it failed when it was installing. | 17:55 |
| tim | i just installed kubuntu 8.04 x64 and i have a problem, when there ara 2 windows and ich click in the middle of the unactive, nocthing happens, i always need to click the bar on the top to activate a window | 17:55 |
| Hariharakadan | Inspected the CD and around the edge it was scratched badly | 17:55 |
| Hariharakadan | Like in to the paper side of it. | 17:56 |
| Hariharakadan | Can't complain though it was free and it was worth a shot. :) | 17:56 |

| olivier | Hi | 18:54 |
| Phast | I'm really curious to know why the latest pidgin version has not hit the repos when it came out the end of August? | 18:54 |
| olivier | I have a little problem with my wifi....May I find some support here ? | 18:54 |
| Tm_T | Phast: in which repos? | 18:54 |
| rickest | clear | 18:56 |
| Phast | Any of them | 18:56 |
| Tm_T | Phast: then it's there | 18:56 |
| olivier | \undo | 18:56 |
| Phast | Tm_T: what version do you see in the repos? | 18:57 |
| Tm_T | Phast: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pidgin | 18:57 |
| Tm_T | pick your choice | 18:57 |
| olivier | My laptop, in wifi, disconnect frequently | 18:58 |
| Phast | Tm_T: Intrepid is the only one that lists the latest, I'm not using Intrepid | 18:58 |
| Phast | I'm using Hardy | 18:58 |
| Tm_T | Phast: exactly | 18:58 |
| Phast | Isn't Hardy a LTS? | 18:58 |
| Tm_T | Phast: Ubuntu doesn't bring new versions to stable release, otherwise it wouldn't stay stable | 18:58 |
| Tm_T | Phast: yes | 18:58 |
| eagles0513875 | Tm_T: any idea to my issue | 18:59 |
| Phast | So should it not have the current versions? | 18:59 |
| Tm_T | Phast: not from Ubuntu repositories (; | 18:59 |
| Tm_T | it can be obtained from other sources ofcourse | 18:59 |
| Tm_T | eagles0513875: no, sorry | 18:59 |
| Phast | Tm_T: that doesn't make sense, following that reasoning, why is Firefox 3.0.3 in the repos? | 19:00 |
| Tm_T | Phast: bug fixes | 19:00 |
| Phast | Which is what Pidgin 2.5.1 is | 19:00 |
| Phast | but yet hardy only has 2.5.0 | 19:01 |
| Tm_T | Phast: in backports (aka unsupported) | 19:01 |
| Phast | Ok let me ask this way, what's the difference between Firefox 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 and Pidgin 2.5.0 and 2.5.1? | 19:01 |
| Tm_T | or more precise, not supported by canonical | 19:01 |
| Tm_T | Phast: no idea, you ask from wrong person | 19:02 |
| Tm_T | Phast: better to make wish in launchpad.net | 19:02 |
| Pici | Packages are only updated for the following reasons: 1) Fixes for security vulnerabilities. 2) Other high-impact bug fixes, for example those which cause data loss 3) Very conservative, unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit and very low risk | 19:02 |
| Tm_T | Pici: thanks | 19:02 |
| * Pici writes up a factoid. | 19:02 | |
| Tm_T | Pici: danke sehr | 19:03 |
| Phast | Pici: from pidgin's site (and a bug that affects me) "# Fix a crash that could appear with AIM buddy tooltips. " | 19:03 |
| Phast | I just can't understand the difference | 19:04 |
| Tm_T | Phast: perhaps package maintainer isn't knowing this | 19:07 |
| Phast | oh? | 19:07 |
| Phast | would that just be a bug report or do you have to contact some other way | 19:08 |

| mefisto__ | I alternate between 2 different mirrors in sources.list depending on which is faster at the time, or sometimes one will have a file missing or corrupted. I'm wondering can I have both mirrors listed in sources.list so I won't have to switch between the two | 21:24 |

| xjohnthomasx | hey i need help -- my kubuntu 8.04 fresh install keeps hanging on boot.. during that bar loading screen.. i dont kno how to fix.. it worked a few times, and now it's just hanging | 21:39 |
| xjohnthomasx | anyone around here? | 21:40 |
| BraveSpear | icelab: yes, that worked thanks | 21:41 |
| xjohnthomasx | icelab: can you help with my issue? | 21:44 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: try booting without the splash screen and see what's happening when the boot process stops | 21:49 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: how? | 21:49 |
| xjohnthomasx | how do i do that man? | 21:50 |
| mefisto__ | at the grub boot menu, press "e" to edit the menu item you're booting, and remove "splash" from the kernel line | 21:51 |
| mefisto__ | eg, this line --> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-generic root=UUID=0b528250-97b3-427b-b182-58da289af0b6 ro splash | 21:52 |
| xjohnthomasx | ok ill try now | 21:54 |
| xjohnthomasx | 1 sec | 21:54 |
| xjohnthomasx | should i do 'recovery mode'? | 21:54 |
| mefisto__ | no, just do a normal boot, but remove the "splash" part, then press enter, then press "b" to boot the changes you made. there are instructions at the bottom of the screen while you're doing it | 21:56 |
| xjohnthomasx | k it's going.. we'll see | 21:58 |
| xjohnthomasx | it's doing loading please wait.. and it's not going further.. | 21:58 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: I should have said remove "quiet" too | 21:58 |
| zabbadapp | a second (PATA) HD that is rarely used (just backup of files) refuses to spin down ... hdparm -y /dev/sda will spin it down, but only for a few seconds. What is accessing it? | 21:58 |
| xjohnthomasx | restart the whole thing delete splash and quiet somewhere? ok ill try | 21:58 |
| mefisto__ | and maybe replace "quiet" with "verbose" to get as much info as you can | 21:59 |
| xjohnthomasx | k.. right now it's stopping at eth0: rtl 8168c/8111c... | 21:59 |
| xjohnthomasx | the wireless was actually working fine back in the installation tho.. | 22:00 |
| xjohnthomasx | and iw as relalys uprprised and happy about that becuse i ve always had such trouble with ndiwsrapper and everything.. and this one worked out of the box.. | 22:00 |
| biopod | hi, after removing compiz from kubuntu 8.04 (runing kde 3.5) Kwin stops loading on login in. any way I can fix it? | 22:01 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: you see? | 22:02 |
| rgreening | look for a file compizasWM | 22:02 |
| rgreening | remove it (I believe). It gets left behind and shouldn't if you purge rather than remove the package | 22:02 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: do you have an ethernet cable plugged in? and is the wireless named eth0? | 22:03 |
| rgreening | it's probably in $HOME/.kde/share/config/compizasWM | 22:03 |

| mefisto__ | you could boot from livecd, then mount your hard disk partition and look at the log files in /var/log to see if you can find what's stopping the boot | 22:11 |

| === freddy_ is now known as Fachf | ||
| xjohnthomasx | no, stopped at some point.. eth0.. rtl8168c.. | 22:12 |
| mefisto__ | did anything change before this started happening? | 22:13 |
| mefisto__ | do you have an old kernel in grub menu you could try booting from? | 22:14 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: i have no idea | 22:14 |

| xjohnthomasx | now the live cd is pausing too | 22:14 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: seems like it might be a hardware issue | 22:15 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: eth0 is usually an ethernet port | 22:15 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: selecting safe graphics mode, and entering live cd with that, it works and doesnt hang.. | 22:16 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: now in live cd.. what now? | 22:17 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: make a directory to mount the hard disk | 22:18 |
| mefisto__ | eg sudo mkdir /media/disk | 22:19 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: they're all visible in dolphin | 22:20 |
| vge | interesting, last time i was here was Nov 2007 and still running the same distro, must be somekind of personal record | 22:20 |
| mefisto__ | you mean it's mounted already somewhere? | 22:20 |
| xjohnthomasx | mefisto__: i can see all the partitions of the install in dolphin.. /, /home, /usr, /var, /tmp | 22:20 |
| xjohnthomasx | etc. | 22:20 |
| xjohnthomasx | what am i supposed to do | 22:20 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: that's just the livecd I think. look in media:/ in dolphin to see if your hard disk is there | 22:21 |
| xjohnthomasx | yes, i see all the disks in media | 22:22 |
| xjohnthomasx | i see the var/log | 22:22 |

| xjohnthomasx | i see kern.log.. what do i want to look in there? | 22:25 |
| vge | about what? | 22:25 |
| xjohnthomasx | my new install 8.04 keeps hanging on boot | 22:25 |
| xjohnthomasx | i dont kno what to do | 22:25 |
| xjohnthomasx | it worked a few times. i did the recommended 65+ program update. then i reboot. now it hangs at the load splash, same point always. | 22:25 |
| vge | hmm, have u checked the logs as mentioned? | 22:26 |
| mefisto__ | vge: it's hanging at eth0 | 22:26 |
| xjohnthomasx | vge: where/how? Im in var/log right now, but i have no clue what im looking for | 22:26 |
| mefisto__ | vge: can you help with which logs to look at? | 22:26 |
| xjohnthomasx | vge: can you help just through to a solution too? : ) | 22:26 |
| vge | well, u can tail them all and check which seems familiar | 22:27 |
| vge | try boot and syslog? | 22:28 |
| vge | and how does it hang? | 22:29 |
| xjohnthomasx | just sort of freezes, i guess.. | 22:29 |
| xjohnthomasx | im in syslog.. i dont know what im lookin at /for | 22:29 |
| xjohnthomasx | boot.log had "nothing has been loaded" | 22:29 |
| vge | have you tried disabling the eth0 at startup if that indeed is your problem? | 22:30 |
| xjohnthomasx | how? | 22:30 |
| xjohnthomasx | no | 22:30 |
| xjohnthomasx | and how do i turn it back on? i dont want to mess up the wireless settings. they were working well.. without anyndiswrapper crap or headache either.. which i had to do other installations previously.. | 22:31 |
| vge | cd /etc/network/interfaces on that file comment out the line starting with "auto (# in front) | 22:32 |
| vge | turning it back on would be removing the comment and doing "/etc/init.d networking restart" or reboot | 22:33 |
| === Extrapan100 is now known as Extrapan100^BNC | ||
| besitzer | slm | 22:34 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: and once you've done that, you might want to disable the splash again to see if the boot messages are any different | 22:34 |
| vge | and the boot messages are indeed located in syslog, you can pastebin the content of that file if you wanna let us look that file | 22:36 |
| xjohnthomasx | it's pausing now just before where that eht0 would be | 22:37 |
| mefisto__ | or maybe just the end of that file if it's really long | 22:37 |

| sorush20 | just wanted to say that I am unable to burn a good iso please help.. Im' burning slow and fast.. | 22:43 |
| sorush20 | but the same problme | 22:43 |
| sorush20 | I've checked the sum check before and after burn okay.. but when it comes to checking for errors on the boot cd its not working | 22:43 |
| tekteen | sorush20, what is a "good iso" | 22:43 |
| tekteen | ok | 22:44 |
| sorush20 | error free kubuntu disk] | 22:44 |
| sorush20 | please help | 22:44 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: maybe pastebin /var/log/syslog and see if someone can figure it out? | 22:44 |
| tekteen | sorush20, you were using the kderemix disk, right? why not use the other and then see if that one works (down/burn/hash ok) | 22:46 |
| sorush20 | I've used kderemix and normal too.. | 22:46 |
| mefisto__ | xjohnthomasx: maybe turn it off, pull out the power cord, wait a minute or too, then try another boot. you never know :) | 22:46 |
| xjohnthomasx | vge: another question.. when installing java sun package, it goes to a confirmation dialog, but through adept i can't do that.. so what do i do? or is there some other pakcage ncessary brfore accessing the confirmation dialogus? | 22:46 |
| tekteen | neither have burned and hashed ok? | 22:46 |
| sorush20 | as I say data verification of iso and after burn is okay but not when I test the disc using the on-disc utilit | 22:47 |
| tekteen | are you sure your cdrom drive works? | 22:47 |
| xjohnthomasx | wait a min... wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff | 22:47 |

| zer0o | i dunno at all | 23:06 |
| Agent_bob | zer0o what exactly are you doing ? and where ? and how for that matter ? | 23:07 |
| zer0o | was trying to see how to log in with invisible status using msn client kopete | 23:08 |
| zer0o | apparently there's no way cuz itz bugged and doesnt work too well | 23:08 |
| dr_Willis | !hi | 23:09 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 23:09 |
| Agent_bob | zer0o well any irc server can have limits as well as all channels having limits. i don't know squat about msn. or yahoo execpt "asl" that's all i know about that. | 23:10 |
| mefisto__ | zer0o: I have problems with msn in kopete occasionally, and when I switch connection to "use HTTP method" it works ok | 23:10 |
| Agent_bob | zer0o there you go ^ try that. | 23:11 |
| zer0o | mefisto__: can u explain better? | 23:12 |
| * dr_Willis guesses theres a 'connections' setting/tab that has a check box. | 23:13 | |

| ubuntoil | I still have some issues with my wifi.... | 23:13 |
| Agent_bob | or menu | 23:13 |
| ubuntoil | my connexion is very unstable | 23:13 |
| mefisto__ | zer0o: right-click the msn butterfly icon in kopete, properties. then in connection tab, tick "use HTTP method" | 23:13 |
| ubuntoil | my dist. is kubuntu 8.04, my computer is a macbook pro | 23:14 |
| ubuntoil | I use the madwifi driver | 23:14 |
| zer0o | mefiso__: and by doing that i'll be able to log in with invisible status? | 23:14 |
| mefisto__ | zer0o: don't know. I've never used invisible status. I just know sometimes msn gets flaky | 23:15 |
| zer0o | and by doing this its better ok | 23:15 |
| mefisto__ | zer0o: well the problem I usually have is it just won't connect at all, but switching to HTTP allows me to connect | 23:16 |
