| AzizLight | hi everybody | 00:11 |
| AzizLight | is it normal that I can't make konsole/yakuake transparent in gnome (ubuntu 8.04)? | 00:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | since you're using gnome, probably | 00:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i believe its transparency depends on kwin | 00:12 |
| AzizLight | what's kwin? :S | 00:12 |
| Jucato | if you are using Yakuake 2.8.x (KDE 3 version) then yes, that's a limitation | 00:14 |
| Jucato | KWin is the KDE Window Manager | 00:14 |
| === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR | ||
| AzizLight | Jucato: I saw a yakuake-kde4.0 (or something like that) package, if I use that instead I will be able to use transparency? | 00:15 |
| Jucato | let me double check | 00:16 |
| Jucato | AzizLight: what exact version of Yakuake are you using? (I can't say much for Konsole) | 00:17 |
| AzizLight | Jucato: yakuake 2.8.1-1ubuntu2 | 00:18 |
| Jucato | hm... I thought that was fixed.. but you could try installing yakuake-kde4 (make sure it's version 2.9.x) | 00:19 |
| === root is now known as Guest92854 | ||
| * Jucato fails as a yakuake rep :( | 00:20 | |
| AzizLight | Jucato: I wont install yakuake-kde4 it has too much dependencies, it's not worth it just to activate tranparency | 00:21 |
| AzizLight | 7 | 00:21 |
| AzizLight | over 78MB of dependencie | 00:21 |
| Jucato | hm.. ok... | 00:22 |

| Jucato | http://gimp.org/screenshots/alternative-2-6-ui-layout-example-one.jpg vs http://www.softpedia.com/screenshots/Gimpshop_1.png | 01:28 |
| Jucato | (the GIMP has multiple windows for each "panel". GIMPshop, like Photoshop, has multiple panel windows inside a single window) | 01:29 |
| mkrahmeh | doesnt gimp have the feature to switch to single windows multiple panels..like gimpshop ?? | 01:32 |

| yousef | can someone tell me how i can remove/disable startup processes (ie hp-systray) | 03:13 |
| yousef | hello? | 03:15 |
| pgib | hi | 03:15 |
| yousef | hey | 03:16 |
| yousef | do u know how to remove startup processes? | 03:16 |
| pgib | yes | 03:17 |
| yousef | cause i have the hp-toolbox running in my tray on boot | 03:17 |
| yousef | i dont want it to | 03:17 |
| pgib | well | 03:17 |
| pgib | startup scripts work by adding/removing symbolic links in the /etc/rd.d/ directory | 03:18 |
| pgib | there is a tool called update-rc.d to help you manage it though | 03:18 |
| yousef | i have to install it | 03:18 |
| pgib | update-rc.d -f your_service remove | 03:18 |
| pgib | you have to install what? | 03:18 |
| yousef | update-rc.d? | 03:18 |
| pgib | I mean /etc/rc.d/ | 03:18 |
| pgib | is a directory with a bunch of symbolic links to programs that are executed on startup | 03:19 |
| pgib | there is a program, on your computer, called update-rc.d | 03:19 |
| pgib | you can do: update-rc.d -f postgresql remove | 03:19 |
| pgib | for example, that will remove postgresql from startup | 03:19 |
| yousef | i see | 03:20 |
| yousef | 1 problem is that i dont even know the name of the process | 03:20 |
| === david is now known as Guest27196 | ||
| pgib | ?? | 03:20 |
| yousef | its not obvious like hp-systray | 03:20 |
| pgib | oh... | 03:20 |
| Guest27196 | no1peacedragon | 03:20 |
| pgib | you are talking about an X application | 03:20 |
| === Guest27196 is now known as Guno1peacedragon | ||
| yousef | its the hp-toolbox for printers | 03:21 |
| pgib | I thought you meant startup processes, like for the actual operating system | 03:21 |
| === Guno1peacedragon is now known as No1PeaceDragon | ||
| yousef | it runs the hp device manager | 03:21 |
| yousef | no | 03:21 |
| yousef | x app | 03:21 |
| pgib | you said it is a system-tray utility | 03:22 |
| pgib | I thought | 03:22 |
| yousef | well it is in my system tray | 03:22 |
| yousef | little hp icon | 03:22 |
| pgib | yes | 03:22 |
| pgib | so it is an X application | 03:22 |
| yousef | ya | 03:22 |
| pgib | therefore, it probably is autostarted by kde | 03:23 |
| yousef | you know how i can diasble | 03:23 |
| pgib | check in ~/.kde/Autostart/ | 03:23 |
| pgib | if you see it in there then remove it | 03:23 |
| pgib | and you might have a ~/.kde4/Autostart if you are using KDE4 | 03:23 |
| yousef | theres only 1 file in there | 03:24 |
| yousef | .directory | 03:24 |
| pgib | ok | 03:24 |
| pgib | well that is odd | 03:24 |
| yousef | lol | 03:25 |
| yousef | let me try root account maybe | 03:25 |
| pgib | no | 03:25 |
| pgib | it will be in your users if anywhere | 03:25 |
| Agent_bob | so is ktorrretn broken ? | 03:26 |
| yousef | ok, well its not there | 03:26 |
| yousef | thx anyway | 03:26 |
| pgib | well I don't know what to tell you then | 03:26 |
| yousef | lol | 03:27 |
| yousef | what disto u use? | 03:27 |
| pgib | well I searched google | 03:27 |
| pgib | and guess what it tells you | 03:27 |
| No1PeaceDragon | does anyone know how to get a public key that seems to be missing? | 03:27 |
| yousef | what? | 03:27 |
| pgib | it should be in /etc/xdg/autostart/ | 03:28 |
| pgib | those are run when your display manager starts | 03:28 |
| pgib | (the place where you login before kde starts) | 03:28 |
| yousef | lol ya its there | 03:28 |
| Agent_bob | so is ktorrretn broken ? all versions ? | 03:28 |

| yousef | i have to delete it? | 03:29 |
| nonewmsgs | Agent_bob: ktorrent is what i always use? | 03:29 |
| pgib | what is "broken" with it | 03:29 |
| yousef | ktorrent works | 03:29 |
| pgib | yousef: yes - it is just a symbolic-link (a shortcup in windows) | 03:29 |
| pgib | *shortcut | 03:29 |
| yousef | thx | 03:29 |

| No1PeaceDragon | i kinda figured that but I at a total loss | 03:53 |

| Agent_bob | oh and it's name will have to reflect the repo address | 03:55 |
| Agent_bob | example: http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_Release.gpg | 03:56 |

| NickPresta | !grub > ubuntu | 04:29 |
| ubottu | ubuntu, please see my private message | 04:29 |
| benbloom | NickPresta, I can run through the entire installation process but when It shows me the list of printers to chose from the RX595 isn;t there | 04:29 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, which drivers did you install? | 04:29 |
| benbloom | Gutenprint 5.2 | 04:30 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, you should be able to select RX950 | 04:30 |
| benbloom | NickPresta: It show's listings for RX510 and RX600 but neither work | 04:30 |
| ubuntu | when i get into grub.. find /boot/grub/stage1 says error 15: File not found | 04:31 |
| benbloom | NickPresta: 950? as opposed to 595? or is that a typeo | 04:31 |
| dr_willis | try just 'find stage1' ? | 04:31 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, 590, my mistake :) | 04:32 |
| benbloom | not showing 590 that's what I used on my Ubuntu laptop | 04:33 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, hmm. Strange. Have you tried the official drivers from here (http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do)? | 04:33 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, Check out this topic, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=583000 | 04:34 |
| zurn | prefered ubuntu for p2.8m dell laptop (kubuntu / xubuntu / ubuntu) ? | 04:34 |
| NickPresta | zurn, Pentium 2, 800 Mhz? | 04:34 |
| zurn | pentium 4 mobile 2.8ghz | 04:34 |
| NickPresta | zurn, oh heh. Any is fine. The requirements for KDE/XFCE and Gnome are well below a P4, 2.8. How much RAM? | 04:35 |
| benbloom | for the first link I get "description The requested resource (/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do)) is not available." | 04:35 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, really? The site works fine for me: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do | 04:35 |
| benbloom | so on that forum (as is my experience) "found that the Epson Stylus Photo RX590 driver is part of Gutenprint 5.0.1. I manually downloaded, compiled and installed it. There may be an easier way, but for reference, this is how I did it."... | 04:36 |
| zurn | 1.25gb | 04:36 |
| NickPresta | zurn, you're more than fine for any | 04:36 |
| benbloom | I'm running a more uptodate version of Gutenprint which is now lacking the RX590 Driver | 04:36 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, I really don | 04:36 |
| zurn | i know, ive got ubuntu on it, broke the audio, was going to reinstall and was going to get recommendations | 04:36 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, I really don't know of another alternative as I dont have that printer. =\ perhaps try making a topic on the forums and someone with KDE can help | 04:37 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, you could always compile the older version if you know it works | 04:37 |
| zurn | nickpresta - i had tried xubuntu on an old p3 dell laptop, had a hell of a time getting the fan hardware working; tried kubuntu w/ kde 4.0.1 beta (or was it 4.1 beta, i forget) and it just felt broken, i couldnt make heads of tales of kde after using gnome and xfce | 04:38 |
| benbloom | is there a better way to get KDE to recognize the printer? besides using the wizard frontend? | 04:38 |
| benbloom | the stupid package reader wont let me install an older version so I'd have to do it manually (not knowledgable enough) | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | its the cups printing system thats not recoginizing the printer - most likely | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | its possible a newer cups release will have the proper drivers. | 04:39 |
| benbloom | hmmm dr_willis. that's an interesting thought | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | Or theres a alternative. | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | I noticed some getting renamed for my printers. | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | check cups.org There may be some info on why/what has changed. or if theres an alternativ4e. | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | I just discovered last wek that my Canon Printer is finally supported. :) | 04:41 |
| benbloom | should I do a system reboot after installing the new gutenprint? I logged out and back in | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | I wouldent think a reboot, or logout would be needed | 04:42 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, restart cups | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | restarting cups - might help. but i dont even see why that would be needed | 04:42 |
| benbloom | are the CUPS updates not automatically included in Kubuntu? | 04:42 |
| benbloom | what's the command to restart cups? | 04:43 |
| dr_willis | kubuntu like ubuntu does updates every 6 months with a new release. | 04:44 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, /etc/init.d/cups restart | 04:44 |
| dr_willis | unless theres security issues, then they have updates for those packages | 04:44 |
| benbloom | /etc/init.d/cupsys? | 04:45 |
| NickPresta | benbloom, To be honest, I'm not on *buntu right now but yeah, cupsys should be fine | 04:45 |

| Sixzero | Hey guys. I'm having trouble getting samba to see my shared printer with a vista box. I can see all my vista shared folders, but the printer ain't showing up. Anyone got a clue whats up? | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | I think vista has some options to allow 'guest' access to printers.. You may want to enable that. | 04:50 |
| NickPresta | yeah. Enable a guest account, share the printer, try shortening the printer name to less than 8 characters | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | My linux machines can see/print to my vista shared printers.. (i think, been a while since i tried it) | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | I always have the same user/passwords on my windows & liniux machines :) that seems to help a lot at times | 04:51 |
| Sixzero | guest access you say? i'll try it real quick, brb | 04:51 |

| mr---t- | good nite all | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | Perhaps its a common issue mentioned at the wiki guide. | 04:57 |
| Sixzero | dr_willis: I dunno what I did because I couldn't find guest accounts in the permissions section, but somehow its working now. thanks. | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | Sixzero, thats the 'normal' way windows works.. :) you do things.. and hope it eventually works | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | Bummer. My Spore Gamejust crashed.. and i dont rember the last time i saved... | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | ya would think that EVERY game would have an autosave function in this day and age | 04:59 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dr_willis: nah, if the game crashes and you don't save, you lose your install. you only get three shots. it's just EA's way of saying "remember to save! OR ELSE." | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | Yep. | 05:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | all deserved kidding aside, i would like to check the game out | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | But ive not hit the '3' install issue.. and i imagine ea will remove that limit in a few months. | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | Its a neat game. it does run on 'lower end' systems | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | but its not got a lot of depth. | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | Maxis is really stuck in its 'the sims - casual time waster-gaming' mentality. :) I rember when Simcity was actually 'challenging' | 05:04 |

| Daisuke_Ido | lead designer on black & white 2 >_< | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | that was a rather 'over hyped' game. :) but most of them are these days | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | 'brag about a feature, thats not used muchin the game' Yea. | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | With spore - its all about the 'designer aspect' that has very little influence on the game.. its just electronic play-doh. :) | 05:16 |
| trigg3r | hey everyone, does anyone know where i can get sound card drivers for my hp pavillion dv5218nr? all i can find is that it has altec lansing speakers! | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | trigg3r, you need to determine what chipset the sound card is using. | 05:26 |
| trigg3r | dr_willis: i have been looking on google forever!! Would it say it somewhere on my computer... Sorry kind of a noob with kubuntu | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | lspci command. | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | or check the specs/website/company site | 05:28 |
| trigg3r | dr_willis: this is the only specs i can find on it - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00699743 | 05:29 |

| dr_willis | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=852535 | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | and its LSPCI | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | and No you dont need a sudo | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | you sure its not just a 'volume set to low/muted' issue? Im not finding anyone else withsoundissues on that laptop | 05:32 |
| trigg3r | dr_willis: i'm almost positive... when i hover the speaker on the kicker it says volume at 100% | 05:34 |

| trigg3r | dr_willis: when i ran that command, it said that the audio device is Intel Corporation 82801G | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | trigg3r, that dos4ent prove it. :) | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | i would run the alsamixer command from a terminal, and twiddle with the sliders while its playing somthing also. | 05:36 |
| trigg3r | okay, how do i check it lol | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | run the media player from a terminal also to look for error messages | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | also - do you rember sound when using the live cd? | 05:36 |
| trigg3r | dr_willis: no sound when using the live cd | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | its possible it has some slightly newer/different chipset - thats alsa not liking. - If you are feeling lucky - you may want to try some other disrtos livd cd's and perhaps the beta releases of the next ubuntu rerelease | 05:39 |

| dr_willis | googling for Intel Corporation 82801G+ubuntu came up with a lot of hits | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | i do NOT recomend wubi at all | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | :) | 05:40 |
| fgarceseduardo | so, how should i install it? | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | id much rather run ubuntu inside irtualbox, or do a normal full install | 05:40 |
| fgarceseduardo | because i have winshit here | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | install it normally. :) it can resize the windows install . | 05:41 |
| fgarceseduardo | the problem is the cd reader | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | Or if you are paranoid. use virtualbox. | 05:41 |
| fgarceseduardo | and i don't know how to create a live usb from win | 05:41 |
| fgarceseduardo | i know how to do it for fedora, but not for uxUBUNTU | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | fgarceseduardo, use that 'unetbootin' tool - it can make a bootable thumbdrive for you | 05:42 |
| fgarceseduardo | and, I'm not so paranoid | 05:42 |
| fgarceseduardo | and, what's that? | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 05:43 |
| fgarceseduardo | ok | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | It makes bootable usb thumbdrives | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | :) | 05:43 |
| fgarceseduardo | mmm | 05:43 |
| fgarceseduardo | ok, i'm canceling wubi right now | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | saves me burning ubuntu cds | 05:43 |

| jbbarnes | I'm running 7.10, which has Firefox 2.0.0.17. How can I get 3.0? apt-get and synaptic only offer 2.0.0.17 and a beta 3.0. | 07:23 |
| jbbarnes | I don't see an option for stable 3.0 | 07:23 |
| Agent_bob | !ff3 | 07:24 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. | 07:24 |
| jbbarnes | So do I have to modify my sources.list file? | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | depending on the releae of ubuntu you got.. FF3 may or may not be in any repos for it. | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | its possible theres some extra repo with newer for 7.10 - | 07:25 |
| Agent_bob | have to ? no. can, yes. should.... pfft not by my openion. | 07:26 |
| jbbarnes | I've been told that if you have Debian, you can always get upgraded to the latest of everything. True? Is that the dist-upgrade option? | 07:26 |
| jbbarnes | Does it work with kubuntu? | 07:26 |
| moj0rising | yes | 07:26 |
| moj0rising | you can upgrade that way. | 07:26 |
| moj0rising | just be careful | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | every 6 mo theres a new ubuntu release.. and dist-upgrade should upgrade you to the latest release | 07:27 |
| moj0rising | as sometimes things can break after the upgrade | 07:27 |
| Agent_bob | ubuntu != debian | 07:27 |
| jbbarnes | so can I issue a command that will basically bring everything up to 8.04 level? | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | jbbarnes, yep. | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | i would backup anything imporntant first, however. | 07:27 |
| moj0rising | sudo apt-get update | 07:27 |
| jbbarnes | apt-get dist-upgrad will do it, huh? Great. | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | !upgrade | 07:27 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:27 |
| moj0rising | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:27 |
| jbbarnes | I think I'll save off my partion first! ;-) But that sounds like fun to try. | 07:28 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis no sources.list change for fiesty ? i thought they built a script for that... | 07:28 |
| dr_willis | I never upgrade that way. I always do clean isntalls.. | 07:28 |
| moj0rising | good idea. you can even make an image with something like clonezilla (clonezilla.org). | 07:28 |
| dr_willis | so no idea Agent_bob | 07:28 |
| jbbarnes | I'll look up clonezilla, moj0rising. | 07:29 |
| moj0rising | it's a good tool if you like the idea of having a "bare metal" backup. | 07:30 |
| Agent_bob | jbbarnes the page say. System -> Administration -> Update Manager | 07:33 |
| Agent_bob | yeah they built a script to "automate" the process. | 07:34 |
| Agent_bob | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu | 07:35 |
| stdin | one doesn't need to edit their sources.list any more, we don't even have a script for it any more | 07:35 |
| stdin | we use some funky thing which will work out the new default settings/applications and remove obsolete packages (if you agree to do so) | 07:36 |
| Agent_bob | stdin so how is the sources.list changed now ? | 07:36 |
| stdin | basically it looks in a specific place on the archive site for a set of instructions and runs those, which will then regenerate the sources.list when it's safe to do so | 07:37 |
| crazy_bus | is there anyway to record the video been received by skype, ekigia, kopote or does one of those support the feature? | 07:37 |
| stdin | (so you'll be on release+1 before it changes your sources to release+1) | 07:37 |
| Agent_bob | and that is either a script or possably a compiled application, but my money is on a "python" or possably "perl" script. | 07:38 |
| stdin | python, yeah :p | 07:38 |
| Agent_bob | so that would fail on my system that has no python then. | 07:39 |
| stdin | it wouldn't even download the instructons if you didn't have python. python is a base component now, so it's assumed you have it | 07:40 |
| stdin | and if you don't, you're smart enough to upgrade the "old fashioned way" ;) | 07:40 |
| Agent_bob | prolly | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | !info update-manager-core | 07:41 |
| ubottu | update-manager-core (source: update-manager): manage release upgrades. In component main, is standard. Version 1:0.87.30 (hardy), package size 36 kB, installed size 2812 kB | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | there is what is it ^ | 07:41 |
| stdin | that's the guts of it, yeah | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | pfft sudo do-release-upgrade heh. who thinks up these command names... ? | 07:43 |
| stdin | well, it does exactly what it says :p | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | sudo do-release-upgrade --and-dont-break-anything --please-please-oh-please | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | :))) | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | 2. Install the new "update-manager-core" package - dependencies include | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | python-apt, python-gnupginterface and python2.4-apt. | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | which in turn depend on several other "python" packages | 07:46 |
| stdin | yeah, it's written in python | 07:46 |
| Agent_bob | errr what part of "terminal window" doesn't sound like it should be on a server system ??? http://debian.pastebin.us/4454 <<< exert from the dapper server to hardy upgrade instructions. | 07:49 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: iirc, some part of the desktop upgrade instructions says something like "if you want to upgrade from command line, follow the server upgrade instructions" (paraphrase), so it helps to be explicit in instructions | 07:50 |
| Agent_bob | also is the "alternate installation CD" a GUI "live CD" ? | 07:50 |
| stdin | the alternate CD is a text install (same as the debian installer) | 07:51 |
| Agent_bob | i'm wondering why alt+f2 would bring up a run dialog on a text mode installer ??? | 07:51 |
| stdin | but it installs a GUI system | 07:51 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: that's not from booting the installer, that's just with the CD inserted in a running system | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | http://debian.pastebin.us/4455 | 07:52 |
| stdin | the alternate CD has an apt repository on it | 07:52 |
| stdin | yeah, it doesn't say "boot from the cd then..." | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | ok i can see that. | 07:52 |
| stdin | though, I think it does need to be more explicit still | 07:53 |
| stdin | as some people have though that | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | still why would a server have a gui ? | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | so the sysadmin can watch videos :) | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | those instructions are for "dapper server upgrade" | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | and play games | 07:53 |
| stdin | it doesn't say from a server, that's the Kubuntu upgrade instructions ;) | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | it's not "kubuntu" specific | 07:55 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: you mean the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades page? | 07:56 |
| Agent_bob | i'll accept that they inteneded to instruct desktop users errrr let me check. | 07:56 |
| n3m0 | anyone know how to change the backend dragonplayer uses i want to change from xine to gstreamer? | 07:56 |
| Agent_bob | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades stdin | 07:57 |
| stdin | yeah the "Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD" part doesn't seem separate the server and GUI instructions | 07:57 |
| surgy | hello | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | right. that's what i was intimating | 07:57 |
| surgy | im looking for a good pinwheel screen saver for kubuntu, anyone know of one? | 07:57 |
| surgy | yes i like to distort my perception of depth | 07:58 |
| stdin | n3m0: system settings -> audio -> backend, it's a global settings it seems | 07:58 |
| n3m0 | stdin: ill check it ty | 07:58 |
| stdin | Agent_bob: I'm not sure the alternate cd has a server upgrade tool, only a GUI one (I don't have one on hand to check) | 07:59 |
| stdin | but it does have a normal apt repository, so it should be possible I guess | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | why are all "newer" crt's so over backlit ? | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | stdin well that would explain it. | 08:00 |
| stdin | I'll have a look into it sometime, there's probably a way, but I'm not sure | 08:01 |
| Agent_bob | there seems to be no way to make the black background any darker than dark gray. they don't even have bright/contrast adjustments anymore. | 08:02 |
| Agent_bob | i'd like for a blank screen to be totally dark. blank screen at night time lights the entire house up. | 08:03 |
| surgy | Agent_bob: lol, you could rig a toggle switch up...... lol and flip the power off and on to the crt.... lol, they respond quick right? so it should pop right back every time! | 08:05 |
| Agent_bob | surgy set bios to kill the monitor after 1 second of inactivity | 08:06 |
| Agent_bob | ;/ | 08:06 |
| surgy | lol | 08:07 |
| Agent_bob | i found some more menus on this monitor, maybe i am going to be able to tone it down some... | 08:07 |
| surgy | night | 08:07 |
| Agent_bob | well i'll stop complaining about newer crt's and go back to complaining about one of them... i did manage to get black background out of that one. | 08:09 |
| * Agent_bob never has learned to like the new fangled push button crap anyway. these whipper snappers now days don't know how to build anything with knobs on it. | 08:10 | |
| Agent_bob | you know, some of the people in #debian called me everything but a white boy, when i removed python from this system ;/ then some of the people in #ubuntu did almost the same when i changed root's name... ;/ | 08:12 |
| * Agent_bob hides. | 08:13 | |

| dr_willis | My laptop worked that way.. and i dont rember what i did to it | 08:46 |
| Agent_bob | dr_willis my tosheba has a bios setting. | 08:46 |
| Agent_bob | i have actually had an external plugged into it one time. | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | Yea. I bring my laptop home from work. plug in external. but i still have to lift the lid to power it on. :) | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | and the exteranl does not work untill X gets loaded up | 08:48 |
| Linux_Galore | yeah there is a nvidia flag that you can set in the xorg.conf file to tell it not to turn the external monitor off when the lid closes | 08:48 |
| Linux_Galore | I activated with my laptop to fix the same bug | 08:48 |
| Agent_bob | hmm i didn't have that problem with the ati chip and the default bios setting, it automaticly switched to the external when it was power'd on with it plugged in. | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | Yea.. a lot depends on the exact chipset/video cards ive noticed over the years. | 08:49 |
| * Agent_bob despises ati anyway. | 08:50 | |
| dr_willis | On my old nvidia box.. I could plug in the tv to the tv out. and with JUST the tv out plugged in.. the whole machine would default to the tv out. No drivers/tweaks needed | 08:50 |
| Linux_Galore | the only headache with the hack is when I swap back to using the laptop in standalone X org does a dummy spit until I remove the line | 08:50 |
| dr_willis | I got twinview setup where i dont even have to edit things.. sort of handy.. | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | except for the fact. i cant use the console on the external monitor. :( | 08:51 |
| Agent_bob | that would blow | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | One box i had - ages ago.. defaulted to the tv out.. even if i dident have it enabled in the xorg.conf :) i was booting to a black screen.. but i heard the startup sounds... | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | tuned on the TV and the X display was there... | 08:52 |
| Agent_bob | heh ;/ | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | friends laptiop - with ubuntu.. some how would enable the extarnal monitor conection every so often at boot up. | 08:53 |
| Linux_Galore | one cant but help wonder if Xorg produces most of the questions on here | 08:53 |
| Linux_Galore | in* | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | so he had a black screen.. then we happened to hit the monitor -combo key on the laptop and it showed up | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | Linux_Galore, i would say its in the top 10. :) | 08:53 |
| Agent_bob | well i'm out. you fellows can surely handle this without me. | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | tthe new auto-confgiring X stuff - has caused lots of issues. | 08:54 |
| Linux_Galore | hopefully xorg 1.5 works better | 08:54 |
| Agent_bob | Linux_Galore i thought kde produced the most here... | 08:54 |
| Linux_Galore | so far for me its working | 08:54 |
| Agent_bob | anyway. i'm out. | 08:54 |
| Linux_Galore | Agent_bob: most of those questions though are lazy people who dont read manuals | 08:54 |
| Agent_bob | Linux_Galore i'll have you know. i resemble that remark. | 08:55 |
| Agent_bob | (: | 08:55 |
| Linux_Galore | Im thinking more along the lines of "my [place hardware here] doesnt work" type of questions | 08:56 |
| dr_willis | I find that normally it works.. or its totally unsupported. :) | 08:57 |

| JackWinter | stdin: don't think i've tried that one. my kded racing problem met with no success in kubuntu-developer, only the suggestion to upgrade to 3.5.10 and hope it goes away. just looked and when booting from the 8.04 live cd kded is behaving. i suppose that means it's something i've installed or reconfigured that causes it. am considering installing another 8.04 and try mounting my /home and see if it occurs again. | 11:16 |
| stdin | JackWinter: you may consider moving ~/.kde/share/config/kdedrc somewhere and letting KDE regenerate it | 11:18 |
| JackWinter | stdin: thanks that sounds like an idea. the other problem i have is with konqueror and klauncher. (new sine a few days), any idea what i'd need to delete to reinitialize konqueror ? | 11:19 |
| stdin | all KDEs settings are in ~/.kde/share/config/, so probably ~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc | 11:20 |

| JackWinter | hmm, what is the best way to install several linux systems on a hdd. sda1 is xp. sda2 is a vfat, sda3 is osx, sda4 is an extended partition. sda5 is my kubuntu root containing /boot, sda6 and sda7 are unused partitions, and sda8 is my /home partition. i also have some free diskspace (200mb), that i was gonna use for a separate /boot, but after googling i understand it might be better to have a separate /boot/grub instead ? | 13:06 |
| cga | arild_: it's a matter of keeping the channel clean for people who need help | 13:06 |
| arild_ | ok | 13:06 |
| cga | =) | 13:07 |
| arild_ | understand | 13:07 |
| cga | cool | 13:07 |
| arild_ | first time here | 13:07 |
| arild_ | lot of cool people here | 13:08 |
| arild_ | see you | 13:08 |
| arild_ | bye | 13:08 |
| cga | JackWinter: i never understood how to use a single GRUB for # distros. but i've read that you can install one grub and use chains in menu.lst/grub.conf to boot other oses. the latters nned to have grub installed in their /boot separate partitions | 13:09 |
| JackWinter | chiefly i'd like to install a paralell kubuntu to trouble shoot, and possibly a ubuntustudio to test. i'd also like to test 8.10 when it comes out on a separate partition. | 13:09 |
| cga | mmmm GRUB/distros should really get together to implement this behaviour better | 13:10 |
| JackWinter | cga: i don't understand enough of how it works to decide what to do. with one linux boot, it's a no brainer booting xp and osx, but i have no idea how to add more linuxes :) | 13:10 |
| cga | i just told you | 13:10 |
| cga | chains | 13:10 |
| cga | read man grub | 13:10 |
| JackWinter | cga: ok, going googling again :) | 13:11 |
| cga | i don't know much neither about it | 13:11 |
| JackWinter | cga: i already chain to boot osx | 13:11 |
| cga | and windows i suppose | 13:11 |
| jussi01 | JackWinter: its quite easy to do, you just install them to separate partitions, at grub install time it finds them and list them | 13:12 |
| JackWinter | cga: suppose so, but not sure. so then it would boot into one grub, and then load another ? | 13:12 |
| cga | JackWinter: grub works with 3 phases | 13:12 |
| cga | 1 in mbr and 1.5 and 2 in /boot/grub | 13:13 |
| cga | so... | 13:13 |
| JackWinter | jussi01: i suppose i should just try it and see what happens. in the worst case i have the supergrub disk | 13:13 |
| cga | you'll have the same 1 phase for all sistem in mbr and each system will have its own 1.5 and 2 phases in its own /boot/grub | 13:13 |
| cga | that's where chains come in | 13:14 |
| JackWinter | so no need for a separate /boot or /boot/grub ? | 13:14 |
| jussi01 | JackWinter: just install as per normal | 13:14 |
| cga | JackWinter: please read what i say. | 13:14 |
| cga | jussi01: that's not what he wants/needs | 13:14 |
| cga | if he does as you say, he will end with the latest distro's grub caring for everything | 13:15 |
| cga | which is not bad at all | 13:15 |
| jussi01 | cga: as I understand it, he wants 3 separate partitions with 2 different kubuntu's and an ubuntustudio | 13:15 |
| JackWinter | cga: i am reading but not understanding :) What i want is for grub to listen my different os's and kernels and to boot into whichever i want | 13:15 |
| cga | but not really convenient if you uninstgall it | 13:15 |
| jussi01 | cga: so whats the problem with that? | 13:15 |
| jussi01 | JackWinter: just make the last one you install the stable on that you will keep. | 13:16 |
| jussi01 | no use making it more complicated than he needs | 13:16 |
| cga | oh my dear lord | 13:16 |
| cga | JackWinter: you choose. i told you how it works and gave you a hint on what to do. | 13:17 |
| jussi01 | JackWinter: what cgais saying is correct, you can do it that way, though it takes a bit more knowhow. My way will work, but is not as "failsafe" if you decide to remove the last installed distro | 13:20 |
| JackWinter | to clarify. i already have a triple boot. xp/osx/kubuntu. i suppose the boot.lst might get very complex with several different distros and different kernels to boot. if i understand chaining correctly it would give me first a menu chosing between my different (already installed) kernel in the existing kubuntu, xp, osx, and other linuxes. once i choose another linux install i would again be prompted for kernel to load etc. or would that have to | 13:20 |
| JackWinter | be already in the first boot.lst | 13:20 |
| JackWinter | jussi01: i have the supergrub and some knowledge. mostly lacking in experience :) think i could repair my grub if things went wrong... | 13:21 |
| JackWinter | it's difficult to google for this, because most instructions are for what i already have set up :) | 13:23 |
| cga | JackWinter: follow this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub | 13:25 |

| sorush20 | Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1) | 13:26 |
| JackWinter | cga: thanks. i'm gonna read that and study some more. seems like a separate /boot/grub is probably the best idea, just a bit afraid to implement it:) google here i come :) | 13:27 |
| chfwiggum | sorush20: can u open a console? | 13:29 |
| JackWinter | another thing that scares me a little is that my bios and kubuntu seem to agree as to what is disk 1 and 2. osx and xp show them reversed in order... | 13:31 |

| JackWinter | hmm, which grub is being used in ubuntu 8.04 ? seems to be several around ? | 13:36 |
| JackWinter | and cga, i think that the chaining might be the way to go, if i understand how it works. then each new linux would have it's own /boot with kernels and menu.lst allowing me to choose kernel ? | 13:38 |

| DexterF | hi | 14:16 |
| DexterF | !lts | 14:16 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 14:16 |
| DexterF | ... | 14:17 |
| DexterF | is Kubuntu 8.04 an LTS release? Rumor had it it was not | 14:17 |
| SSJ_GZ | DexterF: No, it's not. Ubuntu 8.04 is, though. | 14:18 |
| DexterF | SSJ_GZ: now I'm confused. The german site kubuntu.de says 8.04 is an LTS as well supported till 2011 | 14:19 |
| stdin | DexterF: the base is LTS, KDE packages are not | 14:19 |
| DexterF | what would happen if the base was changed to break a compatibility with kde? | 14:20 |
| stdin | how could it? | 14:20 |
| DexterF | HAL perhaps? kernel? | 14:22 |
| === itouch is now known as itewch | ||
| stdin | DexterF: impossible | 14:24 |
| DexterF | I've been running Linux for 9 years now and come to think: nothing is impossible. | 14:24 |
| stdin | it's impossible because it'd never pass a SRU | 14:24 |
| DexterF | I am not concerned with the Scottish Rugby Union | 14:25 |
| stdin | Stable Release Update | 14:25 |
| DexterF | I see | 14:26 |
| stdin | and KDE doesn't interact with the kernel, so that doesn't matter (it doesn't interact with HAL in any way that an SRU for HAL would effect it) | 14:26 |
| DexterF | nevertheless this means after the 8.10 release the kde 3.5.9 in 8.04 will not be supported any longer? | 14:26 |
| stdin | no, it still has the normal 18 month support | 14:27 |
| DexterF | (duh) | 14:28 |
| thor | is there any piece of software on linux for browsing anonymous ? | 14:28 |
| Freku | TOR amybe | 14:30 |
| Freku | but thats not only for linux | 14:30 |
| DexterF | thor: TOR. wiki should tell you how to get it running | 14:31 |
| matt__ | heys | 14:31 |
| DexterF | thor: read the info on dos and donts, too, just because you're IP cant be traced doesn't mean someone can sniff your plain text email login if you get my drift | 14:32 |
| Freku | yeah should be carefull with it | 14:32 |
| matt__ | I have just upgraded to 8.10 beta, and I'm trying to enable the compiz desktop effects in system->Desktop Effects. The options are greyed, and the menu states that I need to install the compiz engine. THe install button states that the requested packages are already installed | 14:33 |
| matt__ | is there a manual way to do this or should I try a reinstall of the package it is referring to? | 14:33 |
| DexterF | stdin: just watching the adept video of yours on google/video. I migrated a bunch of people recently who'd possibly find something like this useful, but is there a hi res version as well where you can actually read the desktop? | 14:34 |

| BluesKaj | DexterF, perhaps your res is set somewhat low | 14:35 |
| DexterF | 16x12. that vid is scaled up like heck. | 14:36 |
| BluesKaj | got a url ? | 14:36 |
| DexterF | http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5676029952918957384 | 14:36 |
| stdin | DexterF: maybe the mpg4 version, but there's a mpeg2 version "Available on request" | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | ok, I see your point :( | 14:37 |
| stdin | http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_updates_on_Kubuntu_with_adept | 14:37 |
| * stdin should update that and do some more | 14:37 | |
| stdin | but there are only 24 hours in a day :( | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | yeah stdin, and i just installed a new 22" samsung monitor with 1680x1050 res :) | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | wife liked it so much i had get her one too , for her vista pc | 14:40 |
| sourcemaker | Intrepid is crashing... the kde home is not usable... what's wrong? | 14:41 |
| DexterF | stdin: I say we expand the earth orbit. thus we counteract global warming and the planet loses momentum, resulting in longer night/day cycles | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | can't find any linux drivers for it altho the plugnplay does the job quite nicely | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | methinks there will be an offtopic cop along soon :) | 14:42 |
| JackWinter | hmm, having studied grub for a while now, it nearly seems like the best way would be to create a special grub partition to contain menu.lst, and then let whatever os do what it was on install. add the right statements to menu.lst and rewrite the mbr to look in the right place. don't know it might be alot to keep track of. don't install that many os's and not that often though. gonna go research chainloading now to see if that has any advantages... | 14:56 |
| JackWinter | was=wants | 14:56 |
| JackWinter | think this would be the most transparent solution for the various os' but on the other hand more work for me :) | 14:58 |
| jussi01 | Hrm, how does one change permissions for a whole drive? I have a USB hdd that currently requires me to be root to write to it... :/ | 15:09 |
| stdin | jussi01: when it's mounted "sudo chmod ... /place/where/you/mounted/it" | 15:10 |
| jussi01 | stdin: hrm, ok... | 15:10 |
| stdin | so if it's "/media/Disk" "sudo chmod 777 /media/Disk" | 15:11 |
| stdin | or just chown it to you | 15:11 |
| jussi01 | oh, that was easy... hrm, why didnt that work graphically, well, nevermind, fixed now :) | 15:12 |
| JackWinter | hehe, think i'm gonna install ubuntustudio now reset the mbr to point to kubuntu and try the chainloader. pretty sure i'm gonna create a separate partition for /boot/grub eventually though. | 15:16 |
| JackWinter | to share /boot between all my ubuntus seem like it would be a big pain.. | 15:17 |
| JackWinter | i'll mount the grub partition into /mnt/boot on all linuxes, like that i can modify the menu.lst from any distro, and if i need, i'll just have to update the mbr again. | 15:19 |
| JackWinter | i hope that they will work out a more comprehensive multiboot system one day | 15:19 |
| JackWinter | regarding the above. i have a win/mac cdrom that i can't get at because its owner is 501:501. can i just sudo chown it, and the access it from other processes ? | 15:21 |
| JackWinter | hmm, seems like chmod and chown don't work on a readonly media. will probably have to copy it onto my fs before trying that. | 15:30 |
| JackWinter | ok, off to installing ubuntustudio and seeing if chainloader does what i hope | 15:31 |

| DexterF | Ash-Fox: ah... that script... never seemed to me like good advice. I rather you add the medibuntu repository and install libdvdcss2 from that | 16:05 |
| DexterF | kevin_: the dvd is blank for sure? | 16:06 |
| kevin_ | dexter...fresh out fo the box...but I will try another. | 16:07 |
| byteme_ | I have a problem hard drive with 2 partions that wont boot to windows so I am using it as an external drive | 16:08 |
| byteme_ | however it looks like I can aonly see 1 partition and its the data recovery side. | 16:09 |
| DexterF | kevin_: describe in more detail how you attempt to write the iso and with what program, version. did writing from that installation work once? | 16:09 |
| byteme_ | How can I view the partion with my data on it? | 16:09 |
| bilicki | what is the channel for 8.10? | 16:10 |
| kevin_ | when I put a dvd into the drive k3b asks create data dvd....I say yes...(I am using HH 8.04. | 16:10 |
| byteme_ | I'm sure you can get help for 8.10 (just versions that are still beta you would need another room) | 16:11 |
| kevin_ | I say o.k. the file I want to burn is in the top pane......what ought I do now? | 16:12 |
| kevin_ | lower pane...current projects is blank | 16:13 |
| kevin_ | k3b recognizes a disk is available, sinceit is telling me how much free space I have on it | 16:14 |
| kevin_ | dexter...I am burning the image...the trick was to add the image to a 'project' lower pane..and tell it to burn the single image. thanks anyway | 16:17 |

| Tallken | ubuntu_: you set up a special primary partition which can contain on itself more partitions, called logical partitions | 17:55 |
| ubuntu_ | Tallken: I know. But what I didn't know was that a swap-partition is automatically primary. | 17:55 |
| Tallken | ubuntu_: only then can you get more partitions | 17:55 |

| trigg3r | hey everyone, i am using the instructions here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=896713 - to get my internal wireless card to work. it actually worked, however after a power cycle, it no longer worked. i think it has to due with ndiswrapper being disabled, so if i skip that step the light that indicates that my wireless card is on actually stays lit, but no wireless networks can be found | 18:51 |
| * Dragonath chugs the coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! | 18:51 | |
| Dragonath | trigg3r: did you try "sudo iwlist scan"? | 18:52 |
| ramiro | anyone knows about regular expresions?? | 18:52 |
| trigg3r | Dragonath: no let me try that | 18:52 |
| dr_willis | ramiro, you may want to ask the actual question about them. :) | 18:52 |
| dr_willis | Regular Expressions is a LARGE topic with lots of interesting bits. | 18:53 |
| ramiro | yes, what I want is to find in a file, lines that begin with vowels | 18:53 |
| === erwin_ is now known as vaiursch | ||
| trigg3r | Dragonath: what was that supposed to do? | 18:53 |
| ramiro | any suggestions?? | 18:53 |
| dr_willis | that should be doable ramiro | 18:54 |
| ramiro | yes i know but i cant find the way | 18:54 |
| Dragonath | trigg3r: list all wireless networks in range | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | depending on the exact regular epression language/tool somthing like [aeiou] | 18:54 |
| ramiro | yes but that finds every line in the file that contains vowels | 18:55 |
| dr_willis | begginging of a line would be ^ (i think) | 18:55 |
| dr_willis | ^[aeiou] | 18:55 |
| trigg3r | Dragonath: under wlan0 it says "no results" | 18:55 |
| ramiro | i only need the ones that first letter is a vowel | 18:55 |
| Dragonath | trigg3r: and you are sure there is a wireless network in range? | 18:56 |
| ramiro | dr_willis: the problem with that is that ^ only search in the first space | 18:56 |
| ramiro | and if the line is " a sda asd " | 18:56 |
| ramiro | doestn match | 18:56 |
| ramiro | because the first character is an space | 18:56 |
| dr_willis | You have just changed your 'problem' then. :) | 18:57 |
| dr_willis | ^ , then 0 or more spaces, then a vowle. | 18:57 |
| dr_willis | That should be doable.. i just dont rember the details. | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | i forget how ya defind a space. | 18:58 |
| trigg3r | Dragonath: yeah i should pick up at least 5 | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | Dont forget tabs also. :) | 18:58 |
| trigg3r | Dragonath: i had it working like 30 minutes ago that is what is so aggravating | 18:58 |
| Dragonath | trigg3r: what does iwconfig say? | 18:58 |
| Dragonath | I know exactly what you mean :) | 18:58 |
| Dragonath | I've been in the same situation | 18:58 |
| ramiro | yes, Im trying, but i cant reach | 18:59 |

| dr_willis | * is '0 or more' of the prev pattern. Thats the trick to the # of spaces | 19:03 |
| dr_willis | + is ONE or more... thats often a stumboing point | 19:03 |
| ramiro | yes i know that | 19:03 |
| trigg3r | Dragonath: also, i don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when i try and just start over ans i get to the step where i have to sudo insmod wl.ko it says "insmod: error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 File exists" | 19:03 |

| tomahto | hey everyone, a kubuntu traitor here :o) - I was using Kubuntu hardy, and installed gnome with a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. I've been very happy with gnome for awhile now and would like to uninstall kde (I have kde 3 AND 4 installed...) - how can i uninstall kde the RIGHT way?? | 19:21 |
| MrKennie | Chris_Foster: compiz is not officially supported in 8.04 | 19:21 |
| Chris_Foster | I know, but I though someone might still have an idea | 19:21 |
| MrKennie | Chris_Foster: I think there's a #compiz-fusion channel or something | 19:21 |
| MrKennie | !compiz | 19:21 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness from KMenu -> System -> Desktop Effects - further help in #compiz-fusion | 19:21 |
| Chris_Foster | okay, Ill look into that | 19:21 |
| Chris_Foster | thanks | 19:21 |
| MrKennie | ah there we go :) | 19:22 |
| HorD | where i cant config auto-mount for my fat32 partitions? | 19:26 |
| MrKennie | !removekde | tomahto | 19:26 |
| ubottu | tomahto: Want to remove gnome/kde/xfce completely? Look at debfoster, it's a great help | 19:26 |
| tomahto | hmmm, debfoster sounds complicated! lol | 19:28 |
| MrKennie | tomahto: there are some varying methods in the ubuntu forums too. | 19:29 |
| peace | anyone has ati radeon ant kubuntu 64bit? :) | 19:29 |
| tomahto | MrKennie: I've seen a lot of places just say sudo apt-get uninstall kubuntu-desktop - but is that enough? | 19:30 |
| MrKennie | tomahto: I'm afraid not | 19:30 |
| tomahto | didn't think so :-/ | 19:30 |
| tomahto | *sigh* | 19:30 |
| MrKennie | tomahto: I'm sure debfoster isn't that hard | 19:31 |
| tomahto | MrKennie: no, but from what I can see it needs me to remember the names of all my favorite proggies - I'm sure to forget something lol | 19:33 |
| tomahto | <-- paranoid | 19:33 |
| MrKennie | tomahto: I guess you could find a core kde package and remove it. | 19:34 |
| MrKennie | that should remove everything else that depends on it | 19:34 |
| tomahto | that would be kubuntu-desktop | 19:34 |
| tomahto | no? | 19:34 |
| Dragnslcr | !puregnome | tomahto | 19:34 |
| ubottu | tomahto: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » | 19:34 |
| MrKennie | no, that's a meta package | 19:34 |
| MrKennie | and there you go :) | 19:35 |
| f|uke | is running KDE and Gnome at the same time too much of a mess? | 19:35 |
| tomahto | it is in my menus :-/ | 19:35 |
| tomahto | and the mixing of things... it's kinda preventing me from learning gnome - I don't always know what's what | 19:36 |
| f|uke | ahh. that sucks. | 19:36 |
| peace | anyone has ati radeon ant kubuntu 64bit? :) my drivers works kind of but i still cant use compiz - windows freezes..slow stuff | 19:36 |
| f|uke | Maybe I should have two seperate installs on my pc if I want to check out kubuntu | 19:36 |
| c_minus_minus | So, I installed KUbuntu, but for some reason, I get no system sounds. I can play audio just fine, and everything's all set in the KDE control center to play a sound if something happens, but I still get no system sounds. | 19:36 |
| tomahto | f|uke: if it's just to check it out i'd go with a livecd | 19:37 |
| f|uke | looking at a live cd isnt enough,.. I want to see how I can tweak it | 19:37 |
| f|uke | Sparing 15 gigs for another OS is no problem | 19:38 |
| f|uke | besides, having a backup OS is probably good in case one goes fubar | 19:38 |
| tomahto | up to you - i THINK there's a way to install kuuntu and still keep the menus clean - but i'm not sure - check out psychocats maybe | 19:38 |
| tomahto | oh poop | 19:41 |
| tomahto | crapola | 19:41 |
| tomahto | *sigh* | 19:41 |
| tomahto | MrKennie: it worked fine - but it also uninstalled virtualbox :( | 19:42 |

| P3X-018 | Everytime I want to remove KPDF it says that Kubuntu Desktop will also be removed, why is it that? Can't I only remove KPDF? | 20:04 |
| MrKennie | kubuntu-desktop is just a meta package | 20:04 |
| MrKennie | benbloom: head to http://localhost:631/ in a browser and try to add a printer that way. | 20:05 |
| P3X-018 | MrKennie: So it doesn't remove the KDE Desktop? | 20:05 |
| jussi01 | P3X-018: no | 20:05 |
| benbloom | yeah. I remember doing that a long time ago... thanks | 20:06 |
| jussi01 | P3X-018: think of it like this, kubuntu-desktop is just a dummy package that depends on everything in it, if you remove something it depends on, usually it goes. | 20:07 |

| bluesceada | how can i use such with network-manager? | 20:40 |

| MrKennie | trenton_: that's the only package that contains that file. | 20:47 |
| trenton_ | MrKennie: OK Thanks. If in doubt....restart =) | 20:48 |

| bluesceada | not as 100% good but nearly | 20:48 |
| trenton_ | MrKennie: Config | 20:49 |

| benbloom | MrKennie: U think it's fixed in kde4? | 20:50 |
| trenton_ | MrKennie: It was compiling with mysql 5.? but I was told to update to 5.1 | 20:50 |
| MrKennie | trenton_: for what reason? | 20:50 |
| trenton_ | MrKennie: Amarok2 was not capatible | 20:50 |
| trenton_ | MrKennie: Amarok2 was not compatible | 20:51 |
| MrKennie | benbloom: that I don't know because it has taken a "plug n play" approach and I've not yet seen a printer manager in it. | 20:51 |
| MrKennie | trenton_: ah ok | 20:51 |
| benbloom | plug n play is cool except I'm not sure how you would work it out with samba | 20:52 |
| MrKennie | benbloom: I say that, I think I actually mean kubuntu intrepid :) | 20:52 |

| Alan_Lockwood | Hi. | 22:21 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Do you know if Kubuntu 8.10 BETA is dangerous for hardware? | 22:21 |
| Dragnslcr | I'd hope not | 22:21 |
| Denise | yes | 22:22 |
| radovich | peace: what is the problem? | 22:22 |
| peace | i dont know.. | 22:22 |
| Denise | it can broke ur keyboard | 22:22 |
| Dragnslcr | It would take some pretty impressive coding to damage hardware | 22:22 |
| radovich | peace: what step is that? | 22:22 |
| Dragnslcr | !ops | Denise | 22:22 |

| LjL | Denise: this is a support channel, would you mind trying to stick to support questions/answers rather than "being funny"? | 22:23 |
| Dragnslcr | Just Denise spouting random garbage. Been happening for a couple weeks now | 22:23 |
| nixternal | I thought it was funny...support or not, that was funny! | 22:23 |
| nixternal | then again, I am drunk, so what do I know | 22:24 |
| Dragnslcr | Hehe | 22:24 |
| LjL | nixternal, back into your corner then | 22:24 |

| tanner__ | really dumb question...can anyone tell me where i can go to find out what thingsa like ubuntu "gutsy Gibbon" and stuff means? | 22:45 |
| kiba_ | hello | 22:48 |
| roots_ | hey | 22:49 |
| ooglebutte | tanner__: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ - lists all the releases by name - that is what gutsy gibbon is | 22:49 |
| Zakihashi | Got a question about, gfx drivers, and resolutions | 22:51 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: you can just ask away in here :) | 22:52 |
| Zakihashi | Is there anyway to get 1920x1200 resolution in Kubuntu? | 22:52 |
| roots_ | mmm same problem | 22:53 |
| ooglebutte | only if your monitor supports it | 22:53 |
| Zakihashi | And I got no ide if my drivers are installed, as it says vesa | 22:53 |
| Zakihashi | It support it | 22:53 |
| ooglebutte | vesa is the failsafe driver that is used | 22:53 |
| zerothi1 | why does kill -kill `pgrep firefox` work from the command line but not as a command in a launcher? | 22:53 |
| Tamagotono | Zakihashi: try 'xrandr -s 1920x1200' | 22:54 |
| ooglebutte | I kill frefox-bin | 22:54 |
| ooglebutte | *firefox-bin | 22:54 |
| zerothi1 | ooglebutte: from a launcher? | 22:54 |
| ooglebutte | zerothi1: no as a command - killing firefox doesn't work here | 22:55 |
| ooglebutte | I have to kill firefox-bin | 22:55 |
| Zakihashi | I found the place where I can change the resolution, but highest I can get is 1600x1200, but that looks wierd on my screen | 22:55 |
| Zakihashi | I get 1920x1200 in Vista, and Ubuntu, anyway I can make it show up on the list in Kubuntu? Also looking for my card in the place where I can change card, but it only got up to Geforce 8 series, and I got 9 | 22:58 |
| aecioghost | hola | 22:59 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: what did you do in ubuntu to get the right resolution? | 23:00 |
| Zakihashi | It was there after I installed | 23:00 |
| Zakihashi | so, nothing | 23:01 |
| aecioghost | alguien habla español | 23:01 |
| aecioghost | speak spanish | 23:01 |
| ooglebutte | are they the same versions ubuntu and kubuntu? | 23:01 |
| ooglebutte | !es | aecioghost | 23:01 |
| ubottu | aecioghost: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:01 |
| Zakihashi | yeah, ubuntu and kubuntu versions are the same | 23:02 |
| === ubuntu is now known as BlaBla | ||
| Pici | !flavors | 23:04 |
| ubottu | !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 23:04 |
| aecioghost | hpña | 23:04 |
| aecioghost | hola | 23:04 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: I would edit xorg.conf so it used the nv driver and then logout/in | 23:05 |
| === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir | ||
| Zakihashi | Ok, ill try that | 23:09 |
| === v6lur_ is now known as v6lur | ||
| Zakihashi | All I got to do is change kbd to nv? | 23:10 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 23:11 |
| ooglebutte | it does bugger all now - that's why I edit the file | 23:11 |
| Zakihashi | No | 23:12 |
| ooglebutte | where it says vesa in the file change vesa to nv | 23:12 |
| ooglebutte | /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:13 |
| Zakihashi | Nothing called vesa there | 23:14 |
| ooglebutte | what file are you editing? - and the command to open it please | 23:15 |
| Zakihashi | I just browsed to the area, and open it in kate | 23:16 |
| Zakihashi | xorg.conf | 23:16 |
| joshuajtl | arrgh can anyone help me out with virtualbox, (non ose) I'm trying to boot an iso image to install the machine.. but i get fatal no bootable mediem found. system halted | 23:19 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: you need admin rights - try alt++F2 and type kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:21 |
| joshuajtl | maybe i need to logout before i'm added to the vxboxusers group | 23:21 |
| ooglebutte | type group to check | 23:21 |
| Zakihashi | Yeah, thats the file I was looking at | 23:22 |
| Zakihashi | no vesa or nvidia or anything like it | 23:22 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: can you paste it? | 23:22 |
| ooglebutte | !paste | 23:22 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 23:22 |
| Zakihashi | I guess the closest is | 23:23 |
| Zakihashi | Section "Device" | 23:23 |
| Zakihashi | Identifier"Configured Video Device" | 23:23 |
| Zakihashi | Option"UseFBDev""true" | 23:23 |
| Zakihashi | EndSection | 23:23 |
| Zakihashi | All of the file? | 23:23 |
| Zakihashi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/54028/ | 23:24 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: under the line Identifier "Configured Video Device" add a new line Driver "nv" | 23:25 |
| ooglebutte | Zakihashi: you need admin rights - try alt++F2 and type kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:25 |
| Zakihashi | Ok | 23:27 |
| Zakihashi | So now I try to log in and out agian? | 23:27 |
| ooglebutte | yep | 23:27 |
| yad | hi | 23:29 |

| ooglebutte | !fixres | 23:29 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 23:29 |
| zakihashi | Ehm... now my options is downed to 640x480 and 800x600 but it still runs at 1600x1200 | 23:30 |
| ooglebutte | what does xrandr in konsole return? | 23:31 |
| ooglebutte | zakihashi: ^ | 23:31 |
| zakihashi | ooglebutte: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54031/ | 23:32 |
| yad | sorry but im really new at this | 23:33 |
| yad | i dont understand | 23:33 |
| yad | i have kubuntu but i dont find the menus u want me to find | 23:34 |
| ooglebutte | zakihashi: To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - do this we might not have restarted the xserver | 23:34 |
| zakihashi | ok, ill try | 23:35 |
| biocom | buenas noches | 23:39 |
| yad | hello | 23:39 |
| biocom | hola yad | 23:39 |
| yad | I am totally new at this and i need to get some help with changing my screen size | 23:39 |
| yad | ? no one | 23:42 |
| Under_Wraps | yad__: have a look in your System Settings | 23:50 |
| yad__ | hi how do i get youtube to wwwwork | 23:51 |
| Tamagotono | yad__: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:52 |
| Astral_Projectio | guys, which package contains font configuration tool (that is started with kcmshell fonts)? | 23:53 |
| yad__ | tamagotono where do i type it | 23:53 |
| Tamagotono | <alt>+<f2> then type konsole. This will open up a console where you can type the previous command. | 23:54 |
| yad__ | Yeah! thanks | 23:55 |
| Astral_Projectio | anyone? | 23:55 |
| yad__ | and one more question. the adept manager dont download the uppdates automaticly? why? | 23:55 |
| Tamagotono | just the way it is designed. no need to do download updates if you have already done so recently. | 23:56 |
| yad__ | and an embarrasing question how do i press ok in the console at the info text from sun | 23:57 |
| Tamagotono | use the <tab> key to highlight it then press <enter> | 23:58 |
| yad__ | hehe thanks | 23:58 |
| Tamagotono | np | 23:58 |
| yad__ | i see that this is learning how to use cpu all over again | 23:59 |
| yad__ | but i like it so far | 23:59 |
| Tamagotono | it is well worth the effort. | 23:59 |
| zakihashi | ooglebutte: Still only got 640x480 and 800x600 as an option. But still running in 1600x1200 | 23:59 |
