| matisse | Hi, can someone tell me, how I can force my dhcp-server to give me another ip ? Alreasy tried to google, but I didn't find a shell command... | 00:17 |
| genii | matisse: All you can really do is release the ip and then renew it. But the assignements are made from the server side so you don't have much say about which one you get unless you also control the server | 00:20 |
| === SkEmO is now known as SkEmO_In_Liebe | ||
| matisse | genii: might there be something to simulate, that the connection to me was lost ? Or is there no way just to wait disconnected because the server has its own default time, when it checks if i'm still in his network ? | 00:23 |
| genii | matisse: The server will always assign you same IP if lease time has not been exceeded | 00:24 |
| matisse | well, then i have to do it on the server side | 00:25 |
| matisse | thanks for the help | 00:25 |
| bilicki__ | my torrent downloads are way too slow, compared to what they are in windows... any ideas why? I tried Transmission, Ktorrent and Deluge, with the same results | 00:25 |
| genii | np | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | bilicki__, normally its due to ports not being forwarded properly | 00:28 |

| No1PeaceDragon | got a quick question how do you get the straight line after -O- in the following -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 00:57 |
| ign0ramus | No1PeaceDragon: shift + (the key above the enter key) | 00:58 |
| genii | No1PeaceDragon: It's the dash, usually to right of the zero | 00:58 |
| ign0ramus | genii: i think he's talking about the upbar or pipe or whatever you call it | 00:58 |
| genii | I suppose depends on your keyboard layout ... | 00:58 |
| genii | ign0ramus: Ah the pipe | 00:58 |
| genii | No1PeaceDragon: The pipe | is where ign0ramus stated | 00:59 |
| No1PeaceDragon | ign ty that was it | 00:59 |
| ign0ramus | you're we|come ;) | 00:59 |
| No1PeaceDragon | gee someday I will be smart enough to figure this out | 00:59 |
| ign0ramus | No1PeaceDragon: until then, there's always copy/paste | 01:00 |
| No1PeaceDragon | lmao thats how I was doing it but figured there had to be a proper way to do it | 01:02 |
| vilhelm | hello anyone here that knows who to empty /var/log/auth.log | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | How? just delete it. | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | sudo rm whatever | 01:09 |
| genii | It just gets constantly re-created | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | I tend to clean out the archived logs.. | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | but dont worry about the otehrs much | 01:09 |
| genii | Me too | 01:10 |
| vilhelm | i can see that someone is trying to access my ssh | 01:10 |
| genii | vilhelm: Change the default port to something obscure | 01:10 |
| vilhelm | <geni> i'm pretty new how do i do that? | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | 'or use iptables and block his ip | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | cant that ufw tool do that easially | 01:11 |
| genii | vilhelm: Change the port number from 22 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to something else (above 1024) | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | ufw allow|deny [proto <protocol>] [from <address> [port <port>]] [to <address> [port <port>]] | 01:12 |

| Schuenemann | hey, is there any reason 'lshw' is showing my memories as DIMM, and not DDR? | 01:16 |
| dr_willis | perhaps the system cant tell if its ddr or ddr2 or whatever... | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | *-bank:1 | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | description: SODIMM DDR Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 ns) | 01:18 |
| Schuenemann | description: DIMM 400 MHz (2.5 ns) | 01:18 |
| Schuenemann | on gutsy it was DDR | 01:18 |
| Schuenemann | I changed the motherboard after that | 01:18 |
| Schuenemann | maybe that makes any difference? | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | No idea.. its possible that lshw just cant get any better info, so prints out what it can confirm | 01:19 |
| Schuenemann | I don't think this motherboard would support DIMM (non DDR) | 01:20 |
| mefisto__ | your ddr ram is still dimm | 01:20 |
| genii | Yup | 01:20 |
| genii | "dual inline memory module" | 01:20 |
| Schuenemann | no not DDR? | 01:20 |
| Schuenemann | so* | 01:20 |
| mefisto__ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimm | 01:20 |
| genii | It's a ddr dual-inline memory module, is all | 01:20 |
| Schuenemann | genii, how can you tell it's DDR? | 01:21 |
| Schuenemann | there was DIMM non-DDR before | 01:21 |
| genii | ddr just means double data rate. It's still a DIMM physical profile | 01:22 |
| Schuenemann | but there is DIMM which isn't DDR, right? | 01:22 |
| genii | SDRAM | 01:22 |
| Schuenemann | very old | 01:23 |
| genii | Yes | 01:23 |
| Schuenemann | couldn't be 2,5ns I suppose | 01:23 |
| Schuenemann | okay, thanks | 01:23 |
| genii | Nowhere near that. Something like 60ns | 01:23 |
| Schuenemann | was just wondering why it isn't shown as DDR anymore | 01:23 |
| DaSkreech | Anyone have any experience with grub error 2? | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | 2? Thats a low one.. :) | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive ever seen that one | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | # 2 : "Selected disk doesn't exist" | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system. | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | sounds like (hd0,0) or whatever, is incorrect. | 01:27 |
| mefisto__ | DaSkreech: do you have botha sata and ide hard disks? | 01:27 |
| DaSkreech | mefisto__: No sata at all | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | well.. i would check the bios - be sure the hds are seen... | 01:28 |
| DaSkreech | They are | 01:28 |
| DaSkreech | and I pulled everything off the system to make sure that only that drive is on the chain | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | sounds like may be wanting a different hd## then what esists, or is in the device.map file | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | or the drive is 'bad' and only partiatly showing up | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | does a live cd see/access it fine? | 01:29 |

| manolo | hello there, for desktop effects, what is better opengl or xrender? | 01:59 |
| DaSkreech | dr_willis: seems to | 02:00 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: In theory or in actuality? | 02:01 |
| manolo | DaSkreech: what will work better for me in actuality | 02:02 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: No idea what hardware do you have ? | 02:02 |
| manolo | DaSkreech: GeForce Nvidia 7400 GO or something I think | 02:02 |
| DaSkreech | I think openGL may win when nvidia release new drivers | 02:03 |
| manolo | DaSkreech: Im using nvidia 177 driver...I am a linux veteran in a way, but on the gnome side of things. Yet, I can't get effects to work on Kwin that well with OpenGL | 02:03 |
| === sgallinger is now known as n | ||
| DaSkreech | #kwin ? | 02:03 |
| === n is now known as bazaa | ||
| manolo | DaSkreech: I'm using the standard KDE 4.1.2 effects by Desktop Settings. I'm not using Compiz. | 02:05 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: Honestly it's a bit of a crapshoot right now I know people who have kwin flying and others who can't get it enabled at all | 02:06 |
| manolo | DaSkreech: Xrender doesn't produce artifacts, but effects don't work that well. | 02:06 |
| DaSkreech | #kwin would have the best info and also would be able to make the most use of your experience | 02:07 |
| manolo | Well I thought it was better to use Kwin over COmpiz | 02:07 |
| manolo | ok | 02:07 |
| manolo | another question is there a way to hide plasmoids and have them appear only when I click Show Dashboard? | 02:07 |
| DaSkreech | I'm not even aware of any user stories anywhere in a central area | 02:07 |
| DaSkreech | Yes but it involves waiting for a few months | 02:08 |
| manolo | DaSkreech,good I don't want my desktop full of plasmoids all the time. | 02:08 |
| manolo | you using 8.10? | 02:08 |
| DaSkreech | I'm trying | 02:09 |
| DaSkreech | I installed it and now grub can't boot | 02:09 |
| * DaSkreech kicks grub error 2 | 02:09 | |
| manolo | you dual boot with windows? | 02:10 |
| DaSkreech | haven't used windows in 4 years | 02:10 |
| DaSkreech | Well might have not used it lnoger but I haven't had it installed for 4 years | 02:10 |
| DaSkreech | longer | 02:10 |
| manolo | good idea, well right now I believe gnome 2.24 works better than kde 4.1.2 but kde is more advanced. I'm testing both ubuntu/kubuntu 8.10 | 02:11 |
| DaSkreech | Well yeah | 02:12 |
| DaSkreech | one is version 24 and one is version 1 | 02:12 |
| manolo | haha true, but yea I was kind of a KDE naysayer but 4.1 has turned me into a believer | 02:12 |
| DaSkreech | Really? | 02:13 |
| manolo | just hope Konqueror switches to Webkit soon | 02:13 |
| DaSkreech | And 4.1 isn't that good | 02:13 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: It won't | 02:13 |
| manolo | I read it would... | 02:13 |
| DaSkreech | not that it's much if a deal | 02:13 |
| manolo | darn | 02:13 |
| DaSkreech | You can load webkit in it | 02:13 |
| manolo | it won't work on important sites | 02:13 |
| manolo | how? | 02:13 |
| DaSkreech | It's what konqueror does | 02:13 |
| DaSkreech | it's just a front end viewer for backends | 02:13 |
| vilhelm | <geni> is this something I nee to worry about | 02:14 |
| vilhelm | Server listening on :: port 1028. | 02:14 |
| vilhelm | error: Bind to port 1028 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use | 02:14 |
| manolo | well how do i get webkit | 02:14 |
| DaSkreech | make a backend for webkit and konqueror will use it happily | 02:14 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: Make a backend :) | 02:14 |
| manolo | how do I do that, a backenf | 02:14 |
| DaSkreech | It's not ready yet. You can use Aurora I think | 02:14 |
| DaSkreech | It's awebkit "test" browser | 02:15 |
| manolo | is it KDE? | 02:15 |
| manolo | trying to leave this partition out of gnome stuff | 02:15 |
| DaSkreech | It's certainly not gnome :) | 02:15 |
| manolo | another quick question, any kde-tv viewers? | 02:16 |
| DaSkreech | kaffiene but I can't recall if it's ready yet | 02:16 |
| manolo | dragon player is pretty basic | 02:18 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: That's it's purpose | 02:18 |
| DaSkreech | kaffiene is much nicer and I too can't wait till I am not useing dragon player | 02:18 |

| centaur5 | Can anybody tell me where Kmail's configuration settings are stored? I thought they would be in .kde/share/apps/kmail but I guess I'm wrong. | 03:05 |
| DaSkreech | centaur5: hardy? | 03:13 |
| centaur5 | DaSkreech: yes | 03:13 |
| DaSkreech | KDE4? | 03:14 |
| centaur5 | Maybe I wasn't wrong. I just checked and it imported some of my settings just not all. | 03:14 |
| centaur5 | I'm actually using Gnome in Ubuntu. Evolution just doesn't support Citadel at all. | 03:16 |
| DaSkreech | centaur5: Did you install kmail or kmail-kde4 ? | 03:16 |
| centaur5 | Kmail, I didn't know there's a new package. | 03:17 |
| DaSkreech | .kde/share/apps It should be then | 03:18 |
| centaur5 | DaSkreech: Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't realize it imported some of my settings. It got everything but the incoming information for some reason. | 03:19 |
| DaSkreech | ah ok | 03:19 |
| centaur5 | I must say, I LOVE how when a hard drive is replaced you can drop the hidden directories back into place and no reconfiguring the desktop or applications! :) | 03:20 |
| DaSkreech | centaur5: Welcome to the worst part of LInux :) | 03:21 |
| coreymon77 | centaur5: i must say, i LOVE when i dont have to replace a hard drive | 03:21 |
| coreymon77 | :) | 03:21 |
| centaur5 | If only people knew that. Countless times I reinstall windows machines and they have to redo all customizations and import data files. | 03:22 |
| centaur5 | coreymon77: How do you get out of replacing hard drives? :) | 03:22 |
| DaSkreech | centaur5: wait until you've had all yourcustomizations and preferences for years until Yo ucan't remember which yuo made until you go somewhere else and try to use someone else's computer and nothing works caue it's not yours and you can't remember how to fix it cause it's been 6 years since you last had to do it | 03:23 |
| coreymon77 | centaur5: they dont die on me | 03:23 |
| DaSkreech | damn You linux for being so robust and fitting to my every need!!! | 03:24 |
| centaur5 | Oh, and importing installed application lists sucks too! I love hunting cupboards for countless cds and 99 digit installation keys to get everything back on! | 03:24 |
| DaSkreech | centaur5: You too will join my cry of Damn you linux for being so good to me!! | 03:26 |
| centaur5 | Yes, I will miss those days of wonderful agony or semi-annual formats and spending hours redoing what I love so very much! Stupid Ubuntu! :) | 03:28 |
| DaSkreech | And it looks good doing it too!! The audacity! | 03:29 |
| centaur5 | But in seriousness, I always heard that dropping the home directory would work just never experienced actually doing. I think, I'm pretty sure, there was a slight orgasm when my wallpaper and panels were back to how they were when I logged back in after copying the old home over. | 03:31 |
| manolo | hey I know this is a kubuntu channel, but which do you think does kde 4 better, opensuse 11.1 beta or kubuntu 8.10 beta? | 03:32 |
| DaSkreech | centaur5: Wait till you install some program you forgot about fortwo months and it remembers the last folder you were in and the project that you were working on 2 years ago before the "Big Wipe" | 03:32 |
| centaur5 | haha | 03:32 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: Suse is more polished | 03:33 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, specifically? | 03:33 |
| DaSkreech | It makes a lot of use of the Qt CSS and custom does a lot of the art | 03:34 |
| centaur5 | Well thanks DaSkreech for helping me with something that I was just being stupid about. I'm sick of working and it's time to go eat! | 03:35 |
| manolo | so why do you use kubuntu then? | 03:35 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: RPMs suck | 03:36 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, true | 03:36 |
| manolo | you think Kubuntu will get there in terms of KDE implementation? | 03:36 |
| DaSkreech | If people pitch in :) | 03:37 |
| DaSkreech | We are already about a 1/3 of Ubuntu population | 03:37 |
| DaSkreech | It's getting kinda hard to ignore :) | 03:37 |
| manolo | yea. Again, I'm enjoying KDE more than I thought I would, yet as I said right now Gnome feels better. | 03:37 |
| manolo | and don't get me wrong, KDE is great right now. | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | Yeah Ubuntu puts a lot of work into making Gnome Very polished | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | Like the time that Suse puts into making KDE polished | 03:38 |
| manolo | yea I was using opensuse for a month or so and it worked pretty good | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | As I said though KDE 4.1 is not really a Wow release. | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | It's still just trying to get stuff working | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | 4.2 should be a solid release | 03:39 |
| DaSkreech | 4.3 should be really really nice | 03:39 |
| manolo | does KDE keep a roadmap? | 03:39 |
| DaSkreech | part of the fun of being with KDE now is you can see where things are going and jump in with bug reports etc | 03:39 |
| === jeremiah is now known as SlowPhoton | ||
| cuarzoliquido | i'll like to see the same work with something less heavy, like XFCE, windowmaker, fluxbox... | 03:39 |
| DaSkreech | there is a massive KDE bug jam every sunday :) | 03:39 |
| DaSkreech | #fluxbuntu | 03:40 |
| manolo | one thing, does kubuntu prompt restart after big updates? I just updated and there was no restart icon | 03:41 |
| DaSkreech | Not sure I haven't done that in a while. I know for sure it used to | 03:41 |
| Dragnslcr | manolo- only for kernel updates | 03:41 |
| manolo | ok | 03:41 |
| manolo | so kwin updates won't | 03:41 |
| Dragnslcr | That's the only time you need to reboot | 03:42 |
| DaSkreech | ? | 03:42 |
| DaSkreech | why would it? | 03:42 |
| cuarzoliquido | but i'm talking about a polished fluxbuntu, some of work that makes difference between XFCE and KDE 4 | 03:42 |
| DaSkreech | cuarzoliquido: That's where you work on a better fluxbox ubuntu | 03:43 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: kwin is in no way a major update | 03:44 |
| manolo | sorry, still learning KDE | 03:44 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: Not a KDE thing. Unix. | 03:45 |
| DaSkreech | That's just the window manager | 03:45 |
| manolo | ok sorry | 03:45 |
| manolo | I know | 03:45 |
| DaSkreech | no more important than installing a new gedit | 03:45 |
| manolo | but I also saw some graphic driver updates which I would have expected to ask for restart or a restart of X at least | 03:45 |
| Stoffer | I have a linux partition, an ntfs windows partition and an ntfs shared partition. I need to resize the windows partition to make it bigger by taking room away from the ntfs partition. Is this possible? | 03:46 |
| DaSkreech | Ah yes that might be true though I can't hinestly ever recall being prompted to reboot X | 03:46 |
| manolo | okok | 03:46 |
| DaSkreech | Stoffer: gparted | 03:46 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: Not saying anything against you. I have a terrible memory :) | 03:47 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, does plasma right now allow to install new widgets from internet? | 03:47 |
| DaSkreech | if by right now you mean in this release then yes it does but there are none out there that I know | 03:48 |
| Stoffer | DaSkreech, is it impossible to figure out or is it fairly easy to use? | 03:48 |
| DaSkreech | You should be able to install macOSX widgets though | 03:48 |
| Stoffer | DaSkreech, I don't want to screw up all my paritions | 03:48 |
| manolo | hmm ok | 03:48 |
| Stoffer | again | 03:48 |
| DaSkreech | Stoffer: should be easy | 03:48 |
| Stoffer | DaSkreech, ok I'll try it, thanks | 03:48 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, it's just I've seen much more widgets on screenshots than those available rightn ow as default on the plasma widget selector/installer | 03:50 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: It came out in 4.0 and people made a bunch then they fully rewrote it just before 4.1 adn broke those | 03:51 |
| DaSkreech | Then everyone started writing for 4.2 | 03:51 |
| DaSkreech | manolo: Oh there is a package for extra plasmoids in kubuntu not installed by default | 03:51 |
| DaSkreech | do a search for plasmoids | 03:51 |
| manolo | ok good | 03:52 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, take a break haha you've answered lots of questions, thanks a bunch | 03:53 |

| Stoffer | gparted won't let me resize my ntfs partitions. is there something else I need to do? | 05:07 |
| spawn57 | ntfs-utils? | 05:08 |
| chrisruls00 | Help! I just ran kde4 for the 1st time. When it booted up it started to play the bootup sound and then I got some sort of error. Nothing loaded after that, all I can do is start applications with alt + F2! | 05:08 |
| DASkreech | Stoffer: You need the ntfs-utils for gparted to do it | 05:09 |
| DASkreech | chrisruls00: alt+F2 -> plasma then join #kubuntu-kde4 | 05:10 |
| Stoffer | DASkreech, not in synaptic, do I have to download it online or is it by another name? | 05:11 |
| DASkreech | !find ntfs | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about find ntfs | 05:12 |
| DASkreech | !search ntfs | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Found: addingfs, ntfs, nfts, fat32, ntfs-3g, filesystems, windowsdrives, mac, fuse, ntfs3g | 05:12 |
| Stoffer | just got it | 05:12 |
| DASkreech | bah | 05:12 |
| Stoffer | installed some other ntfs utilities by another name and it works now | 05:12 |
| Stoffer | sweet | 05:12 |
| DASkreech | :-) | 05:12 |
| Stoffer | i have to shrink my larger parition first | 05:13 |
| Stoffer | does it matter if I put the empty space before or after it? | 05:13 |
| * DASkreech shrugs | 05:15 | |
| DASkreech | Depends on what you need it for | 05:15 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, sorry to bother again | 05:15 |
| * DASkreech bows | 05:15 | |
| Stoffer | DASkreech, I'm taking away from sda4, and adding to sda1 | 05:15 |
| Stoffer | with sda's 2 and 3 in between | 05:16 |
| manolo | I can't make amarok 2.0 beta start, it will show Splash, but nothing else. The text on terminal is quite long ot paste here | 05:16 |
| DASkreech | !paste | 05:16 |
| 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) | 05:16 |
| manolo | DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54869/ | 05:18 |
| Stoffer | wow... i won't be able to do this without somehow moving the unallocated space right next to the partition i'm trying to expand....dammit | 05:18 |
| DASkreech | Is Dbus running? | 05:19 |
| manolo | dbus-daemon is running | 05:20 |
| DASkreech | hmm | 05:20 |
| DASkreech | apachelogger: ping | 05:21 |
| manolo | regular amarok works | 05:21 |
| DASkreech | Yeah it would I suppose | 05:22 |
| Spragie | is kubuntu just ubuntu w/ kde? | 05:22 |
| DASkreech | !kubuntu | 05:23 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 05:23 |
| Stoffer | if I run gparted from a livecd, will I be able to move partitions around? The problem is, I'm trying to take space from sda4 and add it to sda1, but I have sda2 and sda3 in between. Somehow I have to get the unallocated space over next to sda1. Is this even possible? | 05:23 |
| DASkreech | That doesn't sound like fun | 05:24 |
| manolo | DaSkreech so no solution for me then hehe | 05:24 |
| Stoffer | maybe if I resize one at a time....but I can't unmount the partition i'm currently in! | 05:24 |
| Stoffer | maaaaaayyyn.... | 05:24 |
| DASkreech | manolo: It's asking for something just need to figure out how to provide it | 05:24 |
| DASkreech | Stoffer: There is a gparted live Cd | 05:25 |
| manolo | well dbus is up | 05:25 |
| Stoffer | DASkreech, yeah, I think it'll work if I do that. I have an old ubuntu live cd, it should be on that right? | 05:26 |
| DASkreech | Running it again gives the same error? | 05:26 |
| DASkreech | You can boot up and install it | 05:26 |
| DASkreech | However for ntfs the newer it is the better | 05:26 |
| Stoffer | you have a point there | 05:27 |
| manolo | DaSkreech, removing .kde/share/apps/amarok solved it | 05:29 |
| DASkreech | manolo: Umm.. ok | 05:30 |
| Stoffer | DASkreech, well, gparted definitely seems like it'll do the job off the live CD | 05:40 |
| Stoffer | repartitioning now | 05:40 |
| Stoffer | I just hope to God this works | 05:40 |
| Stoffer | and I don't lose everything | 05:40 |
| DASkreech | That would suck | 05:40 |

| albuntu | Stoffer : i tried gparted this days | 05:42 |
| DASkreech | You had pretty full drives | 05:42 |
| albuntu | and for me worked perfectly | 05:42 |
| Stoffer | yeah... it's a 250GB w/ 4 partitions and a lot of stuff I don't need anymore | 05:42 |
| DASkreech | rm -r | 05:43 |
| DASkreech | poof | 05:43 |
| Stoffer | it's all backed up 2 or 3 times in different volumes, so I'm not that concerned about losing stuff | 05:43 |
| DASkreech | 250 GB free :) | 05:43 |
| Stoffer | it's just the installation | 05:43 |
| Stoffer | yeah, well, I'm sure I can find a use for it later :P | 05:43 |
| Stoffer | honestly I still have a lot of space free | 05:44 |
| Stoffer | just 15GB of music, 10GB of pics | 05:44 |
| Stoffer | that's pretty much it | 05:44 |
| Stoffer | gparted thinks I'm using a lot more than I am | 05:44 |
| Stoffer | doesn't help that the windows partition is fragged all over the place | 05:44 |
| Stoffer | i shoulda defragged it before I did this....hmm.... | 05:44 |
| DASkreech | You should probably defrag it | 05:44 |
| Stoffer | oh well | 05:45 |
| DASkreech | Though that would take a few hours a well | 05:45 |
| Stoffer | too late now | 05:45 |
| Stoffer | well, time for bed, we'll see what happens in the morning. Will XP stop complaining about having no disk space left, or will it just stop because it's gone? Stay tuned! | 05:46 |

| rob | it a 15 GB allocation | 07:21 |
| usamahashimi | i heard that the insallation through wubi is not fully configured and not fully fast as original! | 07:22 |
| rob | it is slightly slower but it not noticeable | 07:23 |
| rob | main problem i have is not being able to update menus for installed packages | 07:24 |
| usamahashimi | do you use res triced codecs? | 07:24 |
| asm_ | hi to all | 07:24 |
| rob | sudo apdate-menus does not work | 07:24 |
| rob | yes | 07:24 |
| asm_ | i am using first time kubuntu plzz help me | 07:25 |
| usamahashimi | rob: yes, that also does not work in full insallation | 07:26 |
| rob | asm_ what kinda problem you having? | 07:26 |
| rob | i read it was a bug in lauchpad | 07:26 |
| usamahashimi | rob: why dont you use wine, dont you like it? or some other reason? | 07:27 |
| rob | wine is ok but still buggy......it still needs to be further developed | 07:27 |
| rob | wine is installed on this system but only works with small programs | 07:28 |
| rob | wont run my mircosoft 2004 flight sim | 07:29 |
| usamahashimi | rob: I agree, but still I experiment more and more programs ith wine :) | 07:29 |
| rob | in my opinion ubuntu I.E. and other linux variants need to be more unified | 07:31 |
| rob | but they are headed in the right direction | 07:31 |
| usamahashimi | rob: whether it is micorosot, canonical, redhat or some other, all are doing the same thing and copying each other | 07:32 |
| rob | ubuntu is not the only linux distro I use...I have many different versions and flavors | 07:32 |
| rob | but ubuntu is the most user friendly version i have ever found | 07:33 |
| usamahashimi | rob: i also used many flavour and I found this distro the most complete in every manner, like you I am also a kubuntu fan | 07:34 |
| rob | 1# ubuntu (any) 2# knoppix 3# Slax 4#DSL is probably how I would rank them. | 07:36 |
| usamahashimi | I never use Knoppix and slax, whats are their speciality? | 07:37 |
| igor__ | if I remember Knoppix is a LiveCD distro? | 07:37 |
| rob | Slax would only be number 3 because it is modular.....if not for that it would be lower | 07:37 |
| rob | yes knoppis is live | 07:38 |
| rob | slax is based off of slackware | 07:38 |
| usamahashimi | rob: does slax has any package manager? | 07:39 |
| rob | if i remember it doesnt | 07:40 |
| igor__ | so how it is possible to install software to slax? | 07:41 |
| usamahashimi | rob: what I know you have to compile the packages in slx! | 07:41 |
| rob | you download the pacakges from the website and then just add then to the iso of the slax image and burn it. then when it boots up it adds the packages and boots up | 07:42 |
| rob | checkout http://slax.org | 07:43 |
| igor__ | okey.. | 07:43 |
| rob | actually very easy to modify | 07:43 |
| rob | but i wouldnt recommend it for a everyday distro | 07:44 |
| usamahashimi | And I heard that its also very fast distro? | 07:44 |
| rob | it is | 07:44 |
| igor__ | hmm.. I`m using right now Kubuntu | 07:44 |
| igor__ | and I like it)) | 07:44 |
| igor__ | really friendly for people.) | 07:44 |
| rob | give me a sec to look up something | 07:45 |
| usamahashimi | rob: on np | 07:46 |
| usamahashimi | rob: OK NP | 07:46 |

| MrKennie | heh, what's up with the latest kaffeine update? It crashes on startup now. | 10:02 |
| lumin- | MrKennie: really? | 10:06 |
| lumin- | omg i am gonna to try | 10:06 |
| MrKennie | lol | 10:06 |
| lumin- | no no crash | 10:06 |
| MrKennie | $ kaffeine | 10:06 |
| MrKennie | ERROR: Communication problem with kaffeine, it probably crashed. | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | MrKennie: dmesg | tail | 10:07 |
| MrKennie | ooh, a kernel crash! | 10:07 |
| lumin- | MrKennie: on my computer it was not crashed | 10:07 |
| MrKennie | no, I know why | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | MrKennie: try renaming the .kaffeine folder in your home dir | 10:08 |
| MrKennie | I forgot that my laptop resumed when switching it on this morning, battery went flat last night. This causes problems with sunrpc in the kernel | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ibernate causes more woes than its worth | 10:09 |
| MrKennie | yea, I just forgot about the issues I have. | 10:09 |
| MrKennie | resume is slower than a normal boot anyway. | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | hahah classic | 10:10 |
| lumin- | have u some problem with battery , i dunno but since 2 weeks i get some problem battery suddenly was charged and then it works for 2 minutes... now i have unplugged battery but my laptop says my batterys is still in | 10:10 |
| lumin- | and it's full charged | 10:10 |
| MrKennie | no | 10:11 |
| lumin- | it seems computer doesn't change my battery | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | lumin-: are you disabling acpi on boot? | 10:11 |
| MrKennie | for the most part, this laptop works very well out of the box. Only thing I do is roll my own kernel from git to speed up booting. | 10:11 |
| lumin- | ActionParsnip: i think no i have not changed that stuff | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | lumin-: is the battery seated properly | 10:12 |
| lumin- | yes | 10:12 |
| lumin- | but now ActionParsnip i have not plugged and it still says i have the battery plugged | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | MrKennie: boot times are quite blase to me. i can wait an extra few seconds to boot | 10:12 |
| lumin- | that is strange | 10:13 |
| MrKennie | I got a 5 second improvement on mine. It's still think it's fast anyway but I like tweaking things | 10:13 |
| lumin- | MrKennie: mm i like stable things :D | 10:14 |
| MrKennie | anyway, better reboot to get rpc back | 10:14 |
| MrKennie | lumin-: I use the ubuntu-hardy git tree, I jsut remove all the stuff I don't need. | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | 5 seconds, id hardly rate it as worth it but playing is fun | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | MrKennie: you can disable unnecessary ttys if you want a slightly faster boot | 10:15 |
| MrKennie | I like those | 10:16 |
| lumin- | ok i will reboot | 10:16 |
| MrKennie | ActionParsnip: yup, playing is fun :) | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | i work on pcs all day so I want the easy road to relax, otherwise i'll feel like im at work | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | which sucks | 10:20 |
| MrKennie | that's better. kaffeine working again. Although crashing is not good, it's jsut because my nfs mounts were not available because of the kernel oops. | 10:20 |
| MrKennie | ActionParsnip: yea, I understand. | 10:21 |

| Saka_ | sources ? | 11:53 |
| ghostcube | cactusy1: ??? a bit more info maybe | 11:53 |
| ghostcube | Saka_: normally the updater changes the sources by itself and disables 3rd party ones | 11:54 |
| Saka_ | is there a special repository for dist upgrade devel ? | 11:54 |
| Saka_ | k | 11:54 |
| ghostcube | Saka_: any updates u need to do before the upgade ? | 11:54 |
| Saka_ | i checked and done them. it was kaffeine | 11:55 |
| ghostcube | maybe ask in #ubuntu+1 | 11:55 |
| ghostcube | if anyone knew anything about | 11:55 |
| ghostcube | i havent done the upgrade till now | 11:55 |
| slhk | Saka_: instead of launching the upgrade with Alt+F2 try to execute it in a terminal, you may get more informations about what is happening | 11:56 |

| Saka_ | ok. i'll see | 12:00 |
| Saka_ | for nfo : i just have a computer at work to test these distrib so, fresh install or upgrade is the same for me. | 12:01 |
| Saka_ | i preferred to run the upgrade instead of re-installing the distrib. | 12:02 |
| ghostcube | Saka_: maybe an bug in update system | 12:02 |
| ghostcube | wait a bit | 12:02 |

| mofux | does anyone has a clue? | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | I dont use wubi. but it sounds as if the initrd may be messed up, or a kernel update got messed up. Try booting some of the older kernels perhaps. | 12:36 |
| mofux | i think maybe the path/hdd to the initrd is just messed up or something | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | possible. | 12:38 |
| mofux | dr_willis: do you know how i can check the path to the initrd it is trying to boot from? | 12:39 |

| JuJuBee | !java | 15:15 |
| ubottu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper | 15:15 |
| genii | JuJuBee: sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin are the two you need for that | 15:16 |
| JuJuBee | Hmmm, says they are already installed, but a website tells me they are not. (SUN.com) | 15:17 |
| genii | The -plugin one is for the browser | 15:17 |
| KR-data | what is the best way to permanently add an extra ip to eth0? | 15:18 |
| JuJuBee | Also tried to load one of those "Live Chat" windows for assistance with ordering and it also said I need to install java It is enabled in ff. | 15:18 |
| JuJuBee | The plugin is installed also | 15:18 |
| genii | KR-data: Make an alias for it with another ip in the /etc/network/interfaces file. man interfaces has the manual page with some examples | 15:18 |
| stdin | JuJuBee: see if it's listed in "about:plugins" | 15:18 |
| KR-data | genii, ok, thanks | 15:19 |

| JuJuBee | gcjplugin.so ? | 15:21 |
| genii | KR-data: They are named like eth0:0 eth0:1 etc etc | 15:21 |
| KR-data | genii, I've seen them before, since I've used "ifconfig eth0 add ...." | 15:22 |
| genii | KR-data: Some info here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-creating-ethernet-alias-for-eth0-network-device.html | 15:23 |

| ghostcube | :| | 17:09 |
| favro | you were wrong I wasn't recommending it | 17:10 |
| Pici | Envyng is in the Ubuntu repositories because it fills a void where the most-recent proprietary drivers would not normally be included in the release. | 17:10 |
| ghostcube | you know when the guys used envy step in to compiz channel they tell us kubuntu guys told us to use it and we can only say ok youre system is crap now cause you used it | 17:10 |
| ghostcube | favro: ok then sorry | 17:10 |
| ghostcube | :D | 17:10 |
| ghostcube | Pici: thats not the point if u use an working and well informing howto u wont need envy | 17:11 |
| ghostcube | its not doing anything else than u would do | 17:11 |
| ghostcube | its just it does strange things no one can follow sometimes | 17:12 |
| ghostcube | :| | 17:12 |
| ghostcube | its just if its poossible to get the drivers manual without envy try it :| | 17:12 |
| Pici | ghostcube: File a bug in the envyng package then. /me shrugs | 17:12 |
| ghostcube | Pici: rofl | 17:13 |
| ghostcube | i dont want blame anyone in here cause its good we all help but i just think envy is the last method to be mentioned :| | 17:13 |
| ghostcube | and all in compiz-fusion do so | 17:13 |

| Whitor | <=- has had very bad experiences with envy... | 17:15 |
| Whitor | stay away from it, if you can | 17:16 |
| favro | afaik it comes with an uninstall script for a reason | 17:16 |
| Whitor | its a driver install cop-out if you ask me... a script that does its best... but isn't perfect | 17:16 |
| ghostcube | favro: thats not working yeah | 17:16 |
| favro | it's more to do with the binary drivers than anything else | 17:17 |
| Whitor | If you install something ... then uninstall it... (this might be a windows hangover but...) the system isn't in /exactly/ the same state that it was in before the original install ... | 17:17 |

| LordCrc | hi | 17:31 |
| LordCrc | I'm trying to connect to my kubuntu laptop via vnc. Krfb doesn't work. I used x11vnc which works but is so slow it's almost useless. I've tried vnc4server, but then i just get a konsole window and nothing more, and I can't seem to figure out how to get a regular desktop (with "taskbar" and all that) started with it. Any tips? What's the "best" solution? | 17:34 |
| favro | LordCrc: in the users home dir on the kubuntu laptop is a .vnc folder - in there is the xstartup file | 17:36 |
| LordCrc | right | 17:37 |
| LordCrc | not sure what to put there tho :) | 17:37 |
| favro | can you paste it? | 17:38 |

| favro | are you logging out through vnc? | 17:55 |
| LordCrc | no this was on the laptop itself | 17:55 |

| CppIsWeird | can you edit the sudoers file without using vim? | 18:13 |
| genii | CppIsWeird: Yes any editor. However visudo has error checking to make sure syntax is good | 18:13 |
| Pici | CppIsWeird: set $VISUAL or $EDITOR to your editor of choice then invoke visudo. | 18:14 |
| CppIsWeird | genii, where is the file located? | 18:15 |
| genii | CppIsWeird: in /etc | 18:15 |
| CppIsWeird | Pici, how does one set these variables? | 18:16 |
| Pici | CppIsWeird: Preferably in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile | 18:17 |
| CppIsWeird | okie dokie | 18:17 |
| Pici | CppIsWeird: Or on the fly: VISUAL=nano sudo visudo | 18:17 |

| Predator106 | I hope this is a good channel to put this in, but is there a great KDE replacement for gedit. I really liked gedit, but I don't like gnome now that I'm in KDE | 20:00 |
| Predator106 | I've heard great things about Kate, but I'm really unimpressed... is there a better (by opinion) one? | 20:00 |
| webas | try to use kate as less as possible :P | 20:00 |
| webas | can you help me with grub? predator? | 20:01 |
| Predator106 | what problems are you having? | 20:01 |
| emilsedgh | penguiniator: whats wrong with kate? | 20:02 |
| emilsedgh | ah | 20:02 |
| emilsedgh | sorry penguiniator, Predator106 ^^ | 20:02 |
| Predator106 | lol... | 20:02 |
| webas | im having many problems..cant even install windows..so i want to fix grub.. in grub then i write find boot/grub/stage1 i get - error15 file not found | 20:02 |
| emilsedgh | Predator106: kwrite looks more like gedit though. | 20:03 |
| Predator106 | @emilsedgh well I don't know, maybe I don't like kate because it's not gedit, lol. I really liked how in gedit i set it to a black background and the C++ highlighting was awesome looking for quick source viewing | 20:03 |
| joseph_ | hello, anyone can point me to a 'how-to' on using windows account defined in windows server from kubuntu | 20:03 |
| emilsedgh | Predator106: you can change highlighting colors in kate | 20:03 |
| penguiniator | Hmm... my remark about Kate was a couple of days ago, I think... had something to do with a problem I was having with control characters in files I edit in Kate. I think it was not really Kate. It comes from emails I get from someone I work for. He sends web content to me from his Mac. I read it in Kmail. And edit it in Kate. His editor puts control characters in what should be plain text files. | 20:05 |
| Predator106 | emilsedgh: I'm not ignoring you, heh, just started reading it now | 20:09 |
| emilsedgh | heh :P | 20:09 |
| Predator106 | and as for 'boot/grub/stage1' you forgot the slash in front | 20:09 |
| Predator106 | not sure if you didn't type that in irc | 20:09 |
| Predator106 | or if that's exactly what you did in the terminal | 20:09 |
| Predator106 | <cough> that was directed to you emilsedgh, btw | 20:12 |
| emilsedgh | Predator106: sorry, i dont get it, i didnt ask anything Predator106... | 20:13 |
| Predator106 | oh crap, wrong guy... | 20:13 |

| no1uknow | I have some how hosed up knetworkmanager and can not get it to see any wireless devices now... is there a way to reset it? | 20:18 |
| === karina_ is now known as skabet | ||
| Predator106 | no1uknow: You could try just deleting the settings or reinstalling that package | 20:27 |
| Predator106 | I'm not sure where the settings would be, probably under your /home/ or something | 20:27 |
| no1uknow | I'll give it a shot | 20:28 |
| genii | ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc | 20:28 |
| Predator106 | ah, there we are | 20:28 |
| no1uknow | I think I mess up the /etc/network/interface I'm a newbie to this | 20:28 |
| genii | no1uknow: If you make entries to that file network manager thinks the device is manually configured already and basically ignores it | 20:29 |
| no1uknow | ah so comment out the interface file? | 20:29 |
| no1uknow | all lines | 20:29 |
| no1uknow | okay I'm in good shape on the knetworkmanagerrc | 20:30 |
| Predator106 | good | 20:31 |
| genii | no1uknow: The /etc/network/interfaces should have only 2 lines in it: auto lo and: iface lo inet loopback then network manager can be used for eth0 wlan0 or so on | 20:33 |
| no1uknow | genii: okay those lines are correct then thanks | 20:37 |
| no1uknow | hmm | 20:37 |
| came0 | #computers | 20:49 |
| came0 | Hey guys I need help extracting information from a text file. I have a ~1000 line text file, each line containing the following: 'company1..company2..1.1.08' (no quotes and company names and dates vary) I need to parse this and output a file with only the "company2" on each line. Any ideas how to do this? Python has been sugessted but I am not familiar with the language. Any easier ways? | 20:52 |
| came0 | Excel can do it with some VB, but I dont have any windows machines here. | 20:53 |
| Predator106 | can openoffice do it? | 20:56 |
| freaky[t] | is it safe to upgrade from dapper to hardy? | 20:56 |
| freaky[t] | by changing the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 20:56 |
| came0 | Predator106: not that I can see | 20:56 |
| Predator106 | @came0 ok, not sure then, aside from using bash commands | 20:56 |
| Predator106 | @freaky Is dapper just prior to hardy? | 20:57 |
| Predator106 | can't remember absolutely | 20:57 |
| Tm_T | Dapper Edgy Feisty Gutsy Hardy | 20:58 |
| compilerwriter | What on earth is going on now that Kontact is telling me it can't connect to host localhost? | 20:58 |
| Predator106 | in which case, no, I would not do that big of an upgrade | 21:00 |
| Predator106 | the command I believe is sudo apt-get upgrade-dist | 21:00 |
| Predator106 | but the general rule of thumb is, after a clean install, only upgrade to 1 release after yours | 21:00 |
| Predator106 | after that it will probably get pretty bad | 21:00 |
| Predator106 | so I do not really recommend it | 21:00 |
| genii | freaky[t]: You can upgrade from LTS to LTS with update-manager-core | 21:01 |
| freaky[t] | genii: ?? how? just install it? | 21:04 |
| dr_willis | !info update-manager-core | 21:05 |
| 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 | 21:05 |
| dr_willis | its proberly installed by default. :) | 21:05 |
| freaky[t] | yea but that friend of me doesnt know where it is and i dont know either;P | 21:05 |
| freaky[t] | can't i just change the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list do a apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get upgrade ? | 21:06 |
| dr_willis | just run the command from a terminal... | 21:06 |
| dr_willis | that command i think does that. | 21:06 |
| freaky[t] | update-manager-core ? | 21:06 |
| freaky[t] | oO | 21:06 |
| Predator106 | would you even have to change the sources file? | 21:06 |
| Predator106 | (not sure) | 21:06 |
| freaky[t] | yes | 21:07 |
| freaky[t] | of course | 21:07 |
| Predator106 | yeah, it made sense, but I just never heard of anyone doing that portion of it | 21:07 |
| dr_willis | used to be you had to. | 21:07 |
| dr_willis | depends on how you upgrade | 21:08 |
| Predator106 | so what if you did do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or whatever | 21:08 |
| Predator106 | not sure if its upgrade-dist or dist-upgrade | 21:08 |
| freaky[t] | dist-upgrade | 21:08 |
| dr_willis | thats the old way i thinlk to upgrade.. I was thinking update-manager-core was the newer way | 21:10 |
| dr_willis | but i rarely upgrade releases. | 21:10 |

| no1uknow | genii: checking | 21:21 |
| comicinker | trappist: using dcop, would it result to an on line terminal command? or script? | 21:21 |
| no1uknow | genii: affirmative | 21:22 |
| === herbert_ is now known as herbert__ | ||
| trappist | comicinker: could go either way. you could do it with a one-liner, or you could write a script with fancy features, and like build an ssh interface to amarok | 21:25 |
| comicinker | docs? | 21:27 |
| trappist | comicinker: there are probably some. I would run kdcop to check out amarok's dcop interface, and use google to see what kind of syntax to use. I do this like 2-3 times a year, so I have to google it every time. | 21:29 |
| genii | no1uknow: No immediate ideas on it. Although this also sometimes happens with my machine too, I usually end up rebooting it and it works past 28% again. Restarting the network etc doesn't clear it up for some reason | 21:31 |
