[00:12] You have sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin packages installed? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:17] 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... [00:20] 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 === SkEmO is now known as SkEmO_In_Liebe [00:23] 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 ? [00:24] matisse: The server will always assign you same IP if lease time has not been exceeded [00:25] well, then i have to do it on the server side [00:25] thanks for the help [00:25] 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] np [00:28] bilicki__, normally its due to ports not being forwarded properly === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:32] dr_willis: I'd say so too === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ === saint is now known as Sa[i]nT === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [00:49] Hey, i need to change colors of the selection area for QT, but i do not have KDE installed (GNOME) Qtconfig doesnt allow me to change alot of colors.

[00:58] ign0ramus: Ah the pipe [00:59] No1PeaceDragon: The pipe | is where ign0ramus stated [00:59] ign ty that was it [00:59] you're we|come ;) [00:59] gee someday I will be smart enough to figure this out [01:00] No1PeaceDragon: until then, there's always copy/paste [01:02] lmao thats how I was doing it but figured there had to be a proper way to do it [01:08] hello anyone here that knows who to empty /var/log/auth.log [01:09] How? just delete it. [01:09] sudo rm whatever [01:09] It just gets constantly re-created [01:09] I tend to clean out the archived logs..

[01:17] perhaps the system cant tell if its ddr or ddr2 or whatever... [01:18] *-bank:1 [01:18] description: SODIMM DDR Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 ns) [01:18] description: DIMM 400 MHz (2.5 ns) [01:18] on gutsy it was DDR [01:18] I changed the motherboard after that [01:19] maybe that makes any difference? [01:19] No idea.. its possible that lshw just cant get any better info, so prints out what it can confirm [01:20] I don't think this motherboard would support DIMM (non DDR) [01:20] your ddr ram is still dimm [01:20] Yup [01:20] "dual inline memory module" [01:20] no not DDR? [01:20] so* [01:20] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimm [01:20] It's a ddr dual-inline memory module, is all [01:21] genii, how can you tell it's DDR? [01:21] there was DIMM non-DDR before [01:22] ddr just means double data rate. It's still a DIMM physical profile [01:22] but there is DIMM which isn't DDR, right? [01:22] SDRAM [01:23] very old [01:23] Yes [01:23] couldn't be 2,5ns I suppose [01:23] okay, thanks [01:23] Nowhere near that. Something like 60ns [01:23] was just wondering why it isn't shown as DDR anymore [01:24] Anyone have any experience with grub error 2? [01:26] 2? Thats a low one.. :) [01:26] cant say ive ever seen that one [01:26] # 2 : "Selected disk doesn't exist" [01:26] 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. [01:27] sounds like (hd0,0) or whatever, is incorrect. [01:27] DaSkreech: do you have botha sata and ide hard disks? [01:28] mefisto__: No sata at all [01:28] well.. i would check the bios - be sure the hds are seen... [01:28] They are [01:29] and I pulled everything off the system to make sure that only that drive is on the chain [01:29] sounds like may be wanting a different hd## then what esists, or is in the device.map file [01:29] or the drive is 'bad' and only partiatly showing up [01:29] does a live cd see/access it fine? === struktured_ is now known as struktured === sylvain is now known as Guest66622 [01:58] hay all I am trying to reinstall my nvidia drivers, which is complaining about me having a xen kernel.. which i don't have installed.. How can i check if i am running a xen kernel? [01:58] uname -a [01:58] perhaps will tell [01:59] yah that didn't say anythng, even uname -r says generic [01:59] hello there, for desktop effects, what is better opengl or xrender? [02:00] dr_willis: seems to [02:01] manolo: In theory or in actuality? [02:02] DaSkreech: what will work better for me in actuality [02:02] manolo: No idea what hardware do you have ? [02:02] DaSkreech: GeForce Nvidia 7400 GO or something I think [02:03] I think openGL may win when nvidia release new drivers [02:03] 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 === sgallinger is now known as n [02:03] #kwin ? === n is now known as bazaa [02:05] DaSkreech: I'm using the standard KDE 4.1.2 effects by Desktop Settings. I'm not using Compiz. [02:06] 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] DaSkreech: Xrender doesn't produce artifacts, but effects don't work that well. [02:07] #kwin would have the best info and also would be able to make the most use of your experience [02:07] Well I thought it was better to use Kwin over COmpiz [02:07] ok [02:07] another question is there a way to hide plasmoids and have them appear only when I click Show Dashboard? [02:07] I'm not even aware of any user stories anywhere in a central area [02:08] Yes but it involves waiting for a few months [02:08] DaSkreech,good I don't want my desktop full of plasmoids all the time. [02:08] you using 8.10? [02:09] I'm trying [02:09] I installed it and now grub can't boot [02:09] * DaSkreech kicks grub error 2 [02:10] you dual boot with windows? [02:10] haven't used windows in 4 years [02:10] Well might have not used it lnoger but I haven't had it installed for 4 years [02:10] longer [02:11] 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 [02:12] Well yeah [02:12] one is version 24 and one is version 1 [02:12] haha true, but yea I was kind of a KDE naysayer but 4.1 has turned me into a believer [02:13] Really? [02:13] just hope Konqueror switches to Webkit soon [02:13] And 4.1 isn't that good [02:13] manolo: It won't [02:13] I read it would... [02:13] not that it's much if a deal [02:13] darn [02:13] You can load webkit in it [02:13] it won't work on important sites [02:13] how? [02:13] It's what konqueror does [02:13] it's just a front end viewer for backends [02:14] is this something I nee to worry about [02:14] Server listening on :: port 1028. [02:14] error: Bind to port 1028 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use [02:14] well how do i get webkit [02:14] make a backend for webkit and konqueror will use it happily [02:14] manolo: Make a backend :) [02:14] how do I do that, a backenf [02:14] It's not ready yet. You can use Aurora I think [02:15] It's awebkit "test" browser [02:15] is it KDE? [02:15] trying to leave this partition out of gnome stuff [02:15] It's certainly not gnome :) [02:16] another quick question, any kde-tv viewers? [02:16] kaffiene but I can't recall if it's ready yet [02:18] dragon player is pretty basic [02:18] manolo: That's it's purpose [02:18] kaffiene is much nicer and I too can't wait till I am not useing dragon player [02:18] dr_willis: ping [02:20] My isp.. is having issues it seems [02:20] dr_willis: ping [02:20] wife is mad.. shes playing http://www.buildabearville.com/ and keoe getting hung up on [02:21] You can play that? [02:21] It plays find on linux/firefox/ here [02:21] step daughter was playing it all weekend [02:21] she dident even realize she wasent on a windows machine [02:22] :-) [02:22] What's the name of the Qt Webkit browser? [02:27] DaSkreech, Arora? === Arlas is now known as mermshaus [02:27] arora [02:27] http://code.google.com/p/arora/ [02:28] * DaSkreech can't spell things that don't have k in it :( [02:28] qgtkstyle... NOT friendly with newhuman. [02:29] Daisuke_Ido, you can symlink it to Krora if you really want :) [02:29] err... DaSkreech can, you mean [02:29] Daisuke_Ido: Stop stealing my advice!!! [02:30] i need a smoke, qgtkstyle's got me ticked off [02:30] yes, darn [02:30] okay [02:31] it seems to work alright, but doesn't like dark themes [02:32] hello [02:33] !hi [02:33] Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [02:34] thanks [03:05] 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. [03:13] centaur5: hardy? [03:13] DaSkreech: yes [03:14] KDE4? [03:14] Maybe I wasn't wrong. I just checked and it imported some of my settings just not all. [03:16] I'm actually using Gnome in Ubuntu. Evolution just doesn't support Citadel at all. [03:16] centaur5: Did you install kmail or kmail-kde4 ? [03:17] Kmail, I didn't know there's a new package. [03:18] .kde/share/apps It should be then [03:19] 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] ah ok [03:20] 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! :) [03:21] centaur5: Welcome to the worst part of LInux :) [03:21] centaur5: i must say, i LOVE when i dont have to replace a hard drive [03:21] :) [03:22] If only people knew that. Countless times I reinstall windows machines and they have to redo all customizations and import data files. [03:22] coreymon77: How do you get out of replacing hard drives? :) [03:23] 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] centaur5: they dont die on me [03:24] damn You linux for being so robust and fitting to my every need!!! [03:24] 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! [03:26] centaur5: You too will join my cry of Damn you linux for being so good to me!! [03:28] 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! :) [03:29] And it looks good doing it too!! The audacity! [03:31] 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. [03:32] 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] 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] haha [03:33] manolo: Suse is more polished [03:33] DaSkreech, specifically? [03:34] It makes a lot of use of the Qt CSS and custom does a lot of the art [03:35] 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] so why do you use kubuntu then? [03:36] manolo: RPMs suck [03:36] DaSkreech, true [03:36] you think Kubuntu will get there in terms of KDE implementation? [03:37] If people pitch in :) [03:37] We are already about a 1/3 of Ubuntu population [03:37] It's getting kinda hard to ignore :) [03:37] yea. Again, I'm enjoying KDE more than I thought I would, yet as I said right now Gnome feels better. [03:38] and don't get me wrong, KDE is great right now. [03:38] Yeah Ubuntu puts a lot of work into making Gnome Very polished [03:38] Like the time that Suse puts into making KDE polished [03:38] yea I was using opensuse for a month or so and it worked pretty good [03:38] As I said though KDE 4.1 is not really a Wow release. [03:38] It's still just trying to get stuff working [03:39] 4.2 should be a solid release [03:39] 4.3 should be really really nice [03:39] does KDE keep a roadmap? [03:39] part of the fun of being with KDE now is you can see where things are going and jump in with bug reports etc === jeremiah is now known as SlowPhoton [03:39] i'll like to see the same work with something less heavy, like XFCE, windowmaker, fluxbox... [03:39] there is a massive KDE bug jam every sunday :) [03:40] #fluxbuntu [03:41] one thing, does kubuntu prompt restart after big updates? I just updated and there was no restart icon [03:41] Not sure I haven't done that in a while. I know for sure it used to [03:41] manolo- only for kernel updates [03:41] ok [03:41] so kwin updates won't [03:42] That's the only time you need to reboot [03:42] ? [03:42] why would it? [03:42] but i'm talking about a polished fluxbuntu, some of work that makes difference between XFCE and KDE 4 [03:43] cuarzoliquido: That's where you work on a better fluxbox ubuntu [03:44] manolo: kwin is in no way a major update [03:44] sorry, still learning KDE [03:45] manolo: Not a KDE thing. Unix. [03:45] That's just the window manager [03:45] ok sorry [03:45] I know [03:45] no more important than installing a new gedit [03:45] but I also saw some graphic driver updates which I would have expected to ask for restart or a restart of X at least [03:46] 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] Ah yes that might be true though I can't hinestly ever recall being prompted to reboot X [03:46] okok [03:46] Stoffer: gparted [03:47] manolo: Not saying anything against you. I have a terrible memory :) [03:47] DaSkreech, does plasma right now allow to install new widgets from internet? [03:48] if by right now you mean in this release then yes it does but there are none out there that I know [03:48] DaSkreech, is it impossible to figure out or is it fairly easy to use? [03:48] You should be able to install macOSX widgets though [03:48] DaSkreech, I don't want to screw up all my paritions [03:48] hmm ok [03:48] again [03:48] Stoffer: should be easy [03:48] DaSkreech, ok I'll try it, thanks [03:50] 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 [03:51] 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] Then everyone started writing for 4.2 [03:51] manolo: Oh there is a package for extra plasmoids in kubuntu not installed by default [03:51] do a search for plasmoids [03:52] ok good [03:53] DaSkreech, take a break haha you've answered lots of questions, thanks a bunch [03:53] Time to go home anyway :) [03:53] Fix my broken boxen === vic is now known as Guest11135 [04:03] ok, so I'm currently running from a live cd because my install got messed up, I tried reformatting and installing from the cd but it got stuck on "scanning the mirror" [04:04] do I need to make a new cd?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [05:18] DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54869/ [05:18] 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 [05:19] Is Dbus running? [05:20] dbus-daemon is running [05:20] hmm [05:21] apachelogger: ping [05:21] regular amarok works [05:22] Yeah it would I suppose [05:22] is kubuntu just ubuntu w/ kde? [05:23] !kubuntu [05:23] 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] 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? [05:24] That doesn't sound like fun [05:24] DaSkreech so no solution for me then hehe [05:24] maybe if I resize one at a time....but I can't unmount the partition i'm currently in! [05:24] maaaaaayyyn.... [05:24] manolo: It's asking for something just need to figure out how to provide it [05:25] Stoffer: There is a gparted live Cd [05:25] well dbus is up [05:26] 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] Running it again gives the same error? [05:26] You can boot up and install it [05:26] However for ntfs the newer it is the better [05:27] you have a point there [05:29] DaSkreech, removing .kde/share/apps/amarok solved it [05:30] manolo: Umm.. ok [05:40] DASkreech, well, gparted definitely seems like it'll do the job off the live CD [05:40] repartitioning now [05:40] I just hope to God this works [05:40] and I don't lose everything [05:40] That would suck [05:41]
