nejodeofv: are you running a virtual machine?01:22
ofvnejode: no vmware running.01:23
=== jamie_ is now known as night98
nejodeofv: have you tried shutting down VMware and restarting your interface?01:25
ofvnejode: okay, i'll kill all vmnet* processes and restart eth0.01:26
ofvnejode: it didn't work.01:31
nejodeofv: can you get a lease from your router?01:32
ofvi'm not sure what a lease is, but the machine connects to other machines on the network.01:33
ofvthe only difference of this machine with the others (apart from the OS) is that01:33
afeijohey, who knows Dropbox sw ?? pretty cool !01:34
nejodeofv: can nyou get an IP address from your dhcp-router?01:34
ofvthe kubuntu machine has a IP address assigned by the DHCP server (integrated in the router) based on its MAC address.01:34
ofvnejode: yes, this machine has an ip address and i can see it from other machines on the lan.01:35
nejodeofv: but you get a fixed ip address from your router (for port forwarding I presume)01:36
ofvnejode: i like to use fixed ip addressess, that's all. and it gets the ip address that is specified on the rule on the DHCP settings of the router (192.168.1.7 for mac address 00:etc..)01:37
ofvthe only problem is that traffic to the internet doesn't pass the router/gateway01:38
ofv(for this specific machine, the others work)01:38
ofvi'm thinking on re-starting the router, just to try.01:38
nejodeofv: do you have a switch after the router?01:39
=== joseph is now known as ISS_Student
nejodecan you ping the router?01:39
ofvno. it connects direct to the internet (it's a router/adsl modem).01:40

kubuserhaving issues with mplayer. While playing the video, it plays lot of sharp noise. If the window is hidden behind another window, then it plays the sound ok. Also when minimized.01:44
kubusersame issue in kmplayer. however, in kmplayer while hiding video, no sound plays.01:46
ScorpKingkubuser: what codecs do you have installed? have you tried playing it with vlc?01:46
ofv`it's the router!01:46
ScorpKingkubuser: kmplayer is just a kde frontend for mplayer01:46
kubuserScorpKing: hmmmm. ok good to know. mplayer plays sound fine when video is hidden. When kmplayer is used no sound when video is hidden.01:47
ofv`how can i assign a fixed ip address inside kubuntu itself, as i do for the windows machines.01:47
kubuserScorpKing: how to check what codecs are installed.01:47
ScorpKingopen console an run - aptitude search codecs .it will show "i" on the first line if it's installed01:48
kubuserScorpKing: also amarok fails to play mp3s saying audio device is already busy. Weird behavior for out of box install. :)01:48
kubuserScorpKing: running the command.01:48
ofv`nervermind. found it on the debian docs :-)01:49
ScorpKingkubuser: sounds like your arts daemon is on holiday. run - sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart - in konsole and see if it starts working01:49
kubuserScorpKing: ok only shows two lines....01:49
kubuserv   python2.4-cjkcodecs             -01:49
kubuserv   python2.5-cjkcodecs             -01:49
kubuserScorpKing: hmm... mplayer plays mp3s fine in console... :) restart alsa....01:50
ScorpKingkubuser: please don't paste more than that here ;) .i think you need some extra repo's enabled for the other codecs01:51

ubottumedibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org01:51
ScorpKingah stdin :) , thanks01:52
kubuserScorpKing: hmmmm currently, I have all the universe, restricted, multiverse, main checked in the kubuntu software tab in ADept.01:53
ScorpKingkubuser: look at that link for w32codecs ^01:53
ISS_StudentWhat is the Channel for Kubuntu KDE401:54
kubuserScorpKing: medibuntu stuff?01:54
ScorpKingkubuser: yes, you need the medibuntu repo01:54
kubuserScorpKing: cool. I'll read the link and see how to add that. :) In Ubuntu it didn't have those issues. But kubuntu does. kind of different from the other one. :) Good to know all the little things.01:55
kubuserScorpKing: thanks. :) I'll get to fixing. :)01:55
ScorpKingkubuser: i use kaffeine or vlc to play stuff. mplayer seems to give problems now and then01:56
kubuserScorpKing: interesting. Kaffeine wouldn't even play the video. haven't tried vlc yet. That's a good idea. I'll try that also. Been a mplayer long timer on gentoo. :)01:58
ScorpKingkubuser: i found that without the w32codecs a lot of files won't play. install it first and then try again. there is also a non-free-codecs package in one of the repos02:00
DaSkreechlibxine1-ffmpeg02:00

kubuserDaSkreech: cool. thanks. :)02:01
kubusergutsy....02:01
ScorpKingah yes DaSkreech. i missed that one. kubuser, also install libxine1-ffmpeg02:01
* DaSkreech chuckles02:02

kubusercool. :)02:04
kubuserin kubuntu MUG02:04
kubuserKMug02:04
ScorpKinghaha.. KMug sounds good ;)02:05
kubuserok still shows the issue. Plays the video fine in kaffeine if the video is covered. Otherwise, it plays the video choppy and plays lot of noise. No audio02:06
kubuserno audio that is listenable.02:06
ScorpKingkubuser: that must be annoying02:06
ScorpKingwhat file is it?02:07
kubuseras if with a lot of distortion.02:07
kubuser.avi files. probably divx.02:07
ScorpKingkubuser: run - file <moviefilename> - in konsole02:07
DaSkreechHmm I had the same issue yesterday02:08
DaSkreechKept trying to solve it then I turned off the machine02:08
DaSkreech came back later turned it on and I was good02:08
kubuserScorpKing: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 384 x 288, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 3 Low-Motion, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz)02:09
ScorpKinghehe.. maybe it just needs a reboot ;)02:09
kubuserhehe, linux is getting closer and closer to needing reboot after installs. LOL. Hehe. But as long as it work, eh?02:09
ScorpKinghmm.. that sould play. the only file i had problems with before are the new realaudio movies02:09
kubuserso a reboot coming right up.02:10
kubuserdon't worry. Avoid realaudio like the plague.02:10
ScorpKingkubuser: yeah or you can just hunt for the service in /etc/init.d/ that needs to be restarted ;)02:10
DaSkreechkubuser: You technically would just need to restart X02:10
kubuserScorpKing: eventually, it just becomes easier to reboot. So you just fix all the other issues as well.... :)02:11
kubuserDaSkreech: hehe so just ctrl-alt-bkspace.... :)02:11
DaSkreechI'm just saying I discovered that it because of a reboot02:11
DaSkreechkubuser: Or logout02:11
ScorpKingkubuser: true but you don't learn anything that way02:11
DaSkreechthat's more graceful and would restart X02:11
kubuserScorpKing: oh definitely it's nicer to learn about how the system is setup.02:11
* ScorpKing agrees..02:12
kubuseranyway.... reboot. quick dinner.... will be back later... :)02:12
kubuserif you guys are not here.... just saying  thanks very much for your help guys.02:12

lovre_hi all02:19
ScorpKinghiya lovre_02:20
ScorpKinglong time no see ;)02:20
lovre_i have gnome, i used kde 3.x before. Now i would like to try KDE4.1... can i install only kde4.1 without any kde applications? I just want to see how it feels. Last time i did this, it installed tons of applications that i dont want...02:21
lovre_ScorpKing: yea, how are you doing... :)02:21
DaSkreechlovre_: Bit confused02:21
lovre_DaSkreech: yes?02:21
DaSkreechYou want to install KDE without any KDE applications02:21
draikThanks ScorpKing02:21
ScorpKinglovre_: been worse. you won't be able to do that02:21
* Dr_willis_ wonders what kde4 withoug any app would be.. used for...02:21
DaSkreechSo you just want the wallpapers and sounds ?02:21
Dr_willis_May as well just go look at kde4 screenshots02:22
Dr_willis_:)02:22
lovre_DaSkreech: well, lol02:22
ScorpKingDr_willis_: entertainment02:22
DaSkreechDo plasmoids not cont as applications?02:22
DaSkreechcount?02:22
ScorpKingyeah they do02:22
Dr_willis_go get a kde4 live cd.. and test it out safely02:22
Dr_willis_I still find kde4 very myuch a work in progress.. and not real useable..02:22
lovre_Dr_willis_: thats a good idea...02:22
ScorpKingi've got kubuntu 8.10 beta in vmware. it's faster than my host system02:23
DaSkreechlovre_: Grab an intrepid CD to see where KDE is for Users now or a SUSE Cd to see where it is for develoers02:23
lovre_i started using Gnome few months ago, because kde3x gave me lots of trouble. and in hope that kde4 will be ok, i was thinking of testing...02:23
DaSkreechlovre_: Ha ha02:24
DaSkreechNo KDE4 will probably be an interesting ride for you02:24
ScorpKingdoes anyone know how the make qemu think it has a usb flash drive instead of a hard drive?02:24
DaSkreechWhat was KDE3 fighting you on?02:24
draikWhat is the correct pronounciation of SUSE? "Susie" or "Zeus"?02:25
DaSkreechdraik: I can spell it02:25
draikDaSkreech: LOL02:25
DaSkreechIt's easier to walk around with a Placard and hold it up anytime you refer to it02:25
Dr_willis_try #SUSE02:26
Dr_willis_:)02:26
lovre_DaSkreech: applications were going crazy, everything had problems staying in the kicker tray, it floated in small windows, USB memory keys didnt automount, and other stuff....02:26
DaSkreechIsn't it #opensuse-kde now ?02:26
DaSkreech0_o02:26
DaSkreechAhhh well02:26
DaSkreechKDe4 does none of that02:26
draikI'll ask in both02:26
lovre_DaSkreech: so you think it has made some progress...02:27
ScorpKingdraik: i also want to know02:27
draik"sue-sah"02:27
draikScorpKing: That's from #SUSE02:27
ScorpKinghmm.. thanks02:28
ofv`the system refused to assign a fixed ipv4 address to eth002:28
lovre_is Kaffeine replaced with another application in kde4.1? since i had many problems with it....02:28
ofv`i did exactly what it says on paragraph 10.6.1.1 here:02:28
ofv`http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html02:29
DaSkreechlovre_: dragonplayer02:29
ScorpKingofv`: sounds like you interfaces file is a bit messed up02:29
DaSkreechYou'll probably want kaffiene back02:29
ScorpKingyour*02:29
ofv`ScorpKing: i checked it several times. it looks good.02:29
ScorpKingofv`: cat you pastebin it?02:29
ScorpKingcan* even02:29
draikI've been wanting to try other OS's just for user experience. I started a bit of a mini-war in ##mac when I asked for the difference from Linux to a Mac. They derailed from my question and got into their arguments.02:29
ofv`i can't paste it because the machine has no net connection, but i can copy it. give me a minute.02:30
lovre_is kde 4.1 stable, or do i download kde 4.0?02:30
ScorpKingdraik: i find that funny :)02:30
ScorpKingdraik: the audio and video editing software is better on mac02:31
draikScorpKing: Me too. I was being serious with my questions, not trying to instigate. "Yeah, well I think that Mac..." "No, you're wrong. It's best/better to..."02:31
DaSkreechlovre_: It's stable02:31
Dr_willis_lovre_,  i dont find any of the kde4's very stable at this time.. its getting better..... but still02:31
Dr_willis_:)02:31
Dr_willis_ya learn what 'not to do' with it real fast.. heh02:32
DaSkreechDr_willis: I find they push X really hard and X sucks02:32
Dr_willis_accidently added the 'calculator' plasmid widget to the panel.. and that dident work very well02:32
lovre_ok, thank you DaSkreech, Dr_willis_02:32
ofv`ScorpKing: interfaces copied into http://paste.ubuntu.com/55852/02:32
ScorpKingdraik: it would be interesting to know what the difference is. i've never used a mac though02:32
DaSkreechYeah I spent a lot of fun time adding everything to the panel to see what would break it02:33
Dr_willis_I got a Mac.. in the closet.02:33
Dr_willis_:)02:33
DaSkreech 4.2 should allow us to pop them back and forth so that should be good02:33
Dr_willis_I still havent figured out how to MOVE panel gizmos02:33
DaSkreechDr_willis: It's trivial in 4.102:33
DaSkreechas long as they stay on the panel02:33
draikScorpKing: Well, from what I gathered, it's very similar. Both based on Unix. I don't know when I'll dare to go back and ask another question.02:33
Dr_willis_well they got it hidden from me then.. :) I dident see a 'move' in the menus, tryed right/left/middle clicking,02:34
lovre_another question, i tried to connect my pc to a windows laptop pc, with a crossover cable. Seemed to set up everything nicely, but couldnt connect.... I thought this was supposed to be simple...02:34
Dr_willis_silly clock was stuck in the middle of the panel.02:34
ScorpKingofv`: try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/55854/02:34
DaSkreechDr_willis: the cashew at the end unlocks the panel and you can slide any plasmoid anywhere you want02:34
ScorpKingdraik: maybe i should try ;)02:34
* ScorpKing giggles..02:34
nejodeofv: add "network 192.168.1.0" and "broadcast 192.168.0.254"02:35
ofv`ScorpKing: thanks, I'll do it asap.02:35
DaSkreechlovre_: How do you mean connect?02:35
ofv`nejode: thanks, i'll try that too.02:35
Dr_willis_lovre_,  give them both static ip's seeiof they can ping each other.. if so t- they are networked...02:35
lovre_Dr_willis_: yea, i did that. but couldnt ping them....02:35
ScorpKingofv`: you'll have to add what nejode said for it to work02:35
Dr_willis_then ya got network settings wrong.. or its not a crossover cable..02:35
ofv`ScorpKing: okay.02:36
Dr_willis_lovre_,  or set up a dhcp server on one machine. :)02:36
lovre_Dr_willis_: it is crossover, cuz i used it before... i used this application to setup: nm-applet02:36
nejodeofv: *broadcast 192.168.1.25402:36
Dr_willis_thats the normal network manager applet.   some peple have issues with  the network-manager stuff  at times.. but ive not had any problems02:37
ofv`nejode: ah! I was just going to confirm that! :-)02:37
lovre_Dr_willis_: ok thank you02:37
nejodeofv: i goofed up again>> broadcast 192.168.1.25502:37
lovre_another one of my questions... I connected a camera to the USB, and i wanted to put some images on it. But it insisted that it was read-only, and whatever i did i couldnt change that, even with root. Why is this02:38
ofv`nejode: hehe. thanks.02:38
DaSkreechlovre_: Cause it was mounted read only I Would assume02:38
lovre_DaSkreech: that is possible. But it was automounted... i didnt mount manuallly..02:39
DaSkreechYeah02:39
DaSkreechand I'm thinking the automount mounted it read only02:39
naught101how can I get back the old mouse theme? oxygen is crap02:39
DaSkreechTHough .. it should mount it as a USB drive02:39
lovre_DaSkreech: what can i do about it02:39
ofv`nejode, ScorpKing: it works. thank you, guys.02:39
naught101in kde302:40
DaSkreechlovre_: I dunno that's what happened I'd have to run the mount command and see the options on the mount point02:40
lovre_DaSkreech: ok, i will deal with that later. Thank you anyway, i downloaded and burned live kubuntu 8.04 with kde4 and going to try it. Be back in 5 minutes lol02:41

stdinChris_Foster: you can set it from 'System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Command Shortcuts', but the first way is quicker to get to03:05

rullusb o hard disk?03:06
Chris_Fosterdraik: could you clarify "no knowing were to start"?03:06
Chris_Fosterdraik: bt3 is a tool OS, its used to break security of computers and is equipped with many tools to do so, try learning what the tools do first03:07
draikChris_Foster: Not so much. I want to get into security testing and such by starting with my own home network. I want to hack everything and see where my vulnerabilities are so that I can cover my butt.03:07
rulli have it in a "asus eee pc" and work good03:07
Chris_Fosterdraik: I'm just starting to experiment with it myself, and there really is no tutorial on how to hack, because almost every time you hack something it will be different. That's the fun and complication of it03:08

draikChris_Foster: I'm all for the fun and complicated. It is by far the best way to learn. I keep a few notebooks next to my desk so that I can take note of what I did, saw, thought and learned.03:09

Chris_FosterMy first hack was I connected to my router by using "tcpdump -n" and copying to router address and entering the settings to view my moms laptops internal IP address then I scanned her computer, got blocked by windows firewall, so I turned it off on her system and scanned again, found a disk sharing exploit and I had managment over her whole system :)03:13

Chris_Fosterrull: I was so confused at first because I bought a wireless adapter that didn't support packet injection, so I couldnt figure out why everyone was doing it in 5 mins and it took my a week :P03:16
rullChris_Foster: ouch.. in this situation i will buy a "atheros" adapter ;)03:17
dekkong_2hehe i have a zyxel AG 220 wireless adapter and it worked out of the box :)03:18
Chris_Fosterrull: yeah, I went out and got a different one. I had just bought it that day, so I could return it. When The dude asked why, I tried to make it sound as confusing as possible without laughing, the look on his face was priceless considering im 14 :D03:18

genii!ntfs04:44
ubottuTo view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE04:44
mike-solidus!FUSE04:44
ubottuFUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems04:44

mike-solidusit says i don't have privaliges and to rebuild fuse, is there simply a different fuse package with privalages built in?04:45
mike-solidusyeah with dolphin04:45
kubuserNot sure about KDE as I'm new. With xfce and such click actions use fstab entries for mounting.04:46

=== arch-villain is now known as alpolopanuc
mike-solidushmm, its cool, just needa find out how to mount it somehow, i know i can automount through tutorials, but i'd like to do it thorugh kde's userspace filesystem so i can access it via dolphin easily04:48
mike-solidusit claims i need a different version of fuse because i'm an unprivaliged user04:48

anethum_aoh, i was only trying sudo becuase they weren't working initially, but thanks for that info05:52
anethum_akmix will not start and anything sound related seems to have died05:53
geniiThis is how initially simple problems become compounded....05:53
geniianethum_a: My first guess is that your chipset is integrated. What does command:     lspci | grep Audio              report as your soundcard make?05:54
anethum_a00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)05:54

geniianethum_a: It uses the intel hda driver.    does command:    lsmod | grep snd_hda_intel            report anything?06:01
anethum_anothing06:02
geniianethum_a: Try:   sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel                  and then try previous command again, pastebin result of that please06:03
geniiThere is also a known issue with intel made hda cards, the fix for which may also work on this one. But we will see first about just loading the driver06:04

anethum_asame results06:08
mr---t-isn't it underscore?06:09
anethum_ai tried a combination of dashes and underscores just for kicks06:09
geniimr---t-: It's underscore when lsmod dash when modprobe06:09
mr---t-o06:10
geniiHmm. "unknown symbol" generally means compiled for incorrect kernel version06:11
geniianethum_a: Can you pastebin result of command:    dmesg | tail              please06:12
anethum_ahttp://pastebin.com/d1925293906:13
geniiReading06:14
geniianethum_a: OK. I think you should follow the instructions for getting regular intel hda to work, since it involves compiling the driver, which will in this case overwrite the one giving grief06:16

anethum_ahopefully i can get it straightened out tomorrow. g'night!06:19
geniienyawix: 64 bit works on both amd and intel.       second answer: most debian packages will. But it is not a good idea to install them because when they do not work, failure can mean a system which is not operational. Usage of debian packages on (k)ubuntu is discouraged, and not supported06:21
unitypunkhey...06:28
enyawixgenii is flash working on 64 bit version? and can I install more than one version of gcc and switch between then with gcc-config?06:30

dincihello there - what are the min. system requirements for kubuntu 8 beta07:04
dinci?07:04
geniidinci: They should know in channel #ubuntu+107:04
dincigenii: why not here?07:05
Jucatobecause this channel isn't for "the next release of *buntu"07:06
geniidinci: Someone here actually might know. But it's not the channel for beta releases07:06
geniidinci: The minimum requirements for 8.04 are approximately Pentium 2 400Mhz system with 256Mb RAM and 3Gb hard drive.07:07
dinciperfect - thank you. I didn't find that on their website in FAQ section :) they should add it!07:09
dincithen here is a question for you: I just upgraded my dapper drake to edgy eft. apt-get update showed only errors. I replaced the previous sources.list from dapper. did the update - it worked.07:10
geniidinci: There is not a question in that statement07:11
dincithan dpkg -r to the xubuntu desktop and some related applications (kept only kde). rebooted and guess what bustbox /in/sh: can't acces tty; job control turned off07:11

mike-soliduskde4 is amazing07:23
mike-solidusi tried it at 4.1 and it was really crappy, but this version rocks07:23
geniianbu: Please remove the drive. Wait 20 seconds. Then plug it back in. Then in konsole issue:   dmesg | tail         and please put the result in a pastebin and report here the URL07:24

geniianbu: You should after be able to navigate to it through konqueror..storage media07:34
dincialt+f1 -> boot log. alt+f7 -> initramfs prompt. i understand grub doesn't know the swap. I edited the grub -replaced UUID with /dev/hda2. Booted - same error. On reboot the old UUID is still there (?)07:34
anbugenii - it show error  'mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/sdc1': File exists'07:35
geniidinci: Editing it in grub prompt works for 1 boot. To make it permanent edit /boot/grub/menu.lst07:35
geniianbu: Thats fine. Just do the second part then07:35
geniianbu: EG:        sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 -o exec,rw,users07:35
anbumount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/sdc1 busy07:36
anbumount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /media/sdc107:36
geniianbu: OK. first then, do:    sudo umount /media/sdc107:36
anbuthanks genii its worked07:37
anbuthanks a loooooot07:37
geniianbu:You're welcome07:37
anbubut it shows access denied when i write some thing07:37
dincigenii: I don't have the boot directory when ls-ing from the (initramfs) prompt. that ain't the problem. error persists when booting from grub without UUID07:38

dincigenii: livecd worked07:47
anbuonce again thanks genii.07:47
geniianbu: You're welcome07:47
geniidinci: From livecd would be useful to know output of: sudo fdisk -l          so to try and deduce where to point grub for loading kernel07:48
geniidinci: In pastebin preferably :)07:49

dinciI'm wrinting "uid=1000,gid=1000"07:54
geniidinci: If you're going to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 anyhow maybe just download an 8.04 cd and install directly instead of bothering to try and rescue the 6.06 failed 6.10 upgrade07:54

chfwiggumGuest79985: depends on the material u got, but 87 might be too long10:53
powertool08waylandbill: hmm, so I guess I'm not going to get those last ones on there :/10:54
waylandbillno. not 7 minutes. :)10:54
powertool08waylandbill: and it wouldn't do 4:04 over?10:55
chfwiggumpowertool08: well on some german sonys i heard 85 was possible10:56
powertool08waylandbill: I guess a better question is, how do I find the size of the files to be added in k3b?10:56
powertool08chfwiggum: Hmm... I just have a boring samsung10:56
chfwiggumpowertool08: it really depends on the cds u got10:57
chfwiggumnot the writer10:57
powertool08chfwiggum: If I go for it will it just burn to the edge and then stop mid-song when I play or will it fubar my drive?10:57
powertool08chfwiggum: oh, well cheap imation's for the media10:58
chfwiggumpowertool08: no harm to hardware, maybe u check it out10:58
powertool08chfwiggum: I think I will, thanks :)10:58
waylandbillyou won't hurt the hardware, you just will make a frisbee... or a beverage coaster..10:58
waylandbillyou are essentially writing on the lead area. If you write too much, there will no room for the lead and it wont get written making the disc no good.10:59
powertool08waylandbill: ok11:00
powertool08well it burned but the last song cuts off 1:49 into it, oh well...11:07
chfwiggumpowertool08: so how much did u put on it?11:08
powertool08chfwiggum: I went with the 84:0411:09
chfwiggumnot too bad :)11:09
powertool08chfwiggum: so it cut about a minute and a half from the last track, and the last 3 don't have cd text with them11:10

mty4806nahhh its 127pm in iraq... ur good11:27
JackWinterhoray, just setup /boot/grub on another partition and made a custom menu.lst  works a charm.  considering adding a 5:th os now :)11:31
JackWinteris the kubuntu 4.10 beta out yet ? and which level ?  rc ?11:31
mty4806hey jack... can u help me?11:32
JackWintermty4806: don't know if i can :)  what's the prob ?11:33
mty4806kk... here check it out... I got an internal 1tb, 3 partons, mounted in /home/"fldr1 - 3" but I cannto write to them... each drive is for somthing differnt... 1 music, 2 fam pics& vida, & 3 time machine to run with netatalk.11:34
jarek_hello! i have ubuntu and want to install on it kubuntu, how? sudo apt-get install kde? that is all? :)11:34
mty4806but I cant write to them... adn I need ALL users to be able to write11:34
mty4806write read, create, move ... all permissions?11:35
mty4806can I just chmod 770 /home/ fldr 1-3?11:35
waylandbillmty4806: the way I would handle that is to put the users you want to access into a group and give write access to that group.11:39
waylandbillmty4806: giving write access to the world would do what you want, but is almost always a bad idea.11:40
mty4806ok.... last time I did that I had to reinstall cause I messed sumthin up...11:40
mty4806what I did i unno11:40
JackWintermty4806: ok, as i've been told lately the traditional way is the mount media in /media but that shouldn't matter, you can do as you like.  are the disks writable at all ?  depends on the options used in /etc/fstab  lastly i suppose you can chmod them.  770 would make them accessible for yourself and users in your group.  maybe 644 would be a better choise ?11:40
mty4806well lets try...11:41
JackWintermty4806: or 666...  would make them read/write for all users11:42
mty4806ok, the devil chmod... got it....11:43
mty4806ok creating a folder is says permissions denied11:44
mty4806do I need to reboot?11:44
JackWinterno need to reboot11:45
mty4806no work yet11:46
crustyhey11:46
JackWinterfirst of all for what user are they ?  ls -l  shows that11:46
waylandbillyou shouldn't ever have to reboot unless you install a new kernel. :)11:46
mty4806ls: cannot access /home/music/lost+found: Permission denied11:48
mty4806total 011:48
mty4806d????????? ? ? ? ?                ? lost+found11:48
mty4806matthew@File-Hopper:~$11:48
mty4806wtf is that?11:49
JackWintertry sudo ls -l then11:49
mty4806k11:49
mty4806drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2008-10-10 09:32 lost+found11:50
JackWinterso that belongs to user root from group root, and is rwx only for root, so no one can access it....11:51
mty4806k how do I amke it part of the "users" group11:51
JackWintersudo chown user:group filename11:52
mty4806K can I just do that to a directory?11:52
JackWinterthink you can do it reccursive with -R option, so try "sudo chown -R mty:mty /home/music"11:53
JackWinterreplace mty with your username:group11:54
mty4806what is the default user group?11:55
JackWinteri assume you are under kubuntu.  in that case it would be the same as your username.  look with "ll -l *" in your home dir...11:56
mty4806ok.. tried that... heres the error11:56
mty4806Error removing file: Permission denied11:56
mty4806that is with rght clk creat new folder11:57
JackWintercan you pastebin the /etc/fstab file ?11:57
mty4806shure...11:57
* JackWinter still wonders if there is a kubuntu 8.10 beta :)11:58
mty4806k its there11:59
mty4806mty4806 fstab11:59
mty4806http://paste.ubuntu.com/55955/11:59
JackWinterok that looks fine.  you did create the mount parts in /home before mounting the partitions right12:01
mty4806i created the parts during install12:01
JackWinterno i mean the mountpoints.  in /home you would have to do "sudo mkdir music" "sudo mkdir TimeMacheen" etc.  also be careful about upper/lower case...12:03
mty4806like I said.... they were created during inital install...12:03
JackWinterok.  what happened when you did chown above ?12:04
mty4806just took it12:04
mty4806no errors12:04
JackWinterand how does a "sudo ll -l *" in /home look like ?12:05
JackWintersorry ls -l *12:05
mty4806d????????? ? ? ? ?                ? lost+found12:05
mty4806drwx------ 2 matthew matthew 16384 2008-10-10 09:32 lost+found12:06

mty4806http://paste.ubuntu.com/55956/12:09
mty4806sry12:09
JackWinterok, looks like music belongs to you know.  and if you do the same in /home/music ?12:11
mty4806permissions denied for cd12:12
JackWinteractually i wonder if this is right.  (still a bit of a noob).  my mountpoints are 755 once the media has been mounted in any case...12:15
mty4806ok. here seeing how there is nothing in them folders... I will delete them.... and erase them from fstab12:16
mty4806recreate.... but I need them to remount auto after reboot12:16
amerigoi had to install gtk+ for kubuntu hardy 8.0412:17
amerigowhat should i use?12:17
JackWinterprobably you have to set them 755 if they are for your own use, and 777 if they are for all users of the machine...12:18
mty4806ok.... here we go12:19
mty4806sudo chmod -R /home/12:19
amerigook12:19
mty4806???12:19
JackWinterno, that's a bad idea :)12:19
amerigomty4806: with how you are speaking?12:19
mty4806JackWinter12:20
amerigook sorry12:20
waylandbillyou don't want universal access to all user's folders to all users. that's definately an accident waiting happen.12:20
waylandbillnot to mention that Jill may not want Jack to see her... files...12:21
mty4806the "server" is only for serving personal files on home network from OS X12:21
mty4806this system will be used by none.... screen keyboard, mouse all disconected with fiber to router12:21
mty4806and then stuffed in a closet12:22
JackWinterand what are you going to use nfs ?12:22
mty4806netatalk12:22
JackWintersorry don't know that.  if it was nfs then it would be easy :)12:22
waylandbillif you don't need multiple users then just create a single account for storing the files then.12:22
randryI have problem with wireless12:22
JackWinteri don't think you need to worry about all these users and access rights12:23
randryanyone can help?12:23
waylandbillrandry: perhaps if you could be more specific we can try.12:23

randryany suggestion?12:28
randry it says  ::0000:06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 4311 (rev 01)12:28
waylandbilllast I knew that line was handled by the b43 kernel module and didn't need ndiswrapper.12:31
randryso12:31
randryWhat can I do?12:31
waylandbillis it listed in the Hardware Drivers Manager?12:32
randrywhat do u mean12:32
randryI run lspci12:32
randryit was listed there12:33
randryeven the light showing wireless is not on12:34
waylandbillI mean... in the k-menu, go to system, and select "Hardware Drivers Manager"12:34
waylandbillthe broadcom should be in there and not enabled. enabling it requires a hard wire network connection to download the b43 firmware.12:35
randrythere is no hardware driver manger , do u mean device manager?12:36
=== jens is now known as Guest4453
Dr_willis_for the b43 stuff.. some times you need to do a little more work.. dependong on the exact wireless chipset. (or at least ive had to)12:39

randrywhat is b43?12:40

Dr_willis_!wireless12:49
ubottuWireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs12:49
Dr_willis_I would check the docs and wiki pages for that specific card also.12:50
randrymine is ubuntu 6.06 LTS12:50
Dr_willis_some take  a little extra work12:50
Dr_willis_I have No clue on 6.06 -  I would suggest upgrading.12:50
waylandbilloh.. dapper.. that's why there's no hardware driver manager. :)12:50
Dr_willis_that card may not even be supported on 6.0612:50
* Dr_willis_ points out that the VERSION of the release.. is very impiorntant thing to mention when asking a question. :)12:50
randrythere is no hardware Driver manger12:51
Dr_willis_randry,  yep.. i forget what its called in 6.06 - it may be restricted-manager, or somthing named lilke that..12:51
waylandbillif the version isn't told, we assume the current release. :-D12:51
Dr_willis_But thats no guarentee that card will work in 6.0612:51
randryhow do I upgrade it12:51
Dr_willis_wireless has been much improved in 8.0412:51
Dr_willis_!upgrade12:51
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes12:52
waylandbillI'm pretty certain the b43 module is not in dapper.12:52
randryreally12:52
waylandbillI want to guess that it came with fiesty or gutsy12:52
randryso wireless will not work in ubuntu dapper12:53
waylandbillyou may be able to get ndiswrapper working, but you may save some frustration by upgrading12:53
=== ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu__
waylandbillhaving a kernel module is better than a windows driver wrapper for sure.12:54
Dr_willis_if you are going to upgrade.. you may want to wait till the 8.10 release is out..  and just do a clean new install.12:54
Dr_willis_8.10 due out at the end of this month12:56
randrythere is a windows wireless driver inside system>administration12:56
randryand a button add12:56
Dr_willis_if there are no modules/drivers for that broadcom chipset.. it wont matter what buttens are there..12:57
Dr_willis_I would hit the ubuntu forums and serch for '6.06 B43XX' where XX is your proper chipset #12:58
randrymine is 4311 i think12:58

H|V_3ala2I mean install 8.04 the upgrade13:25
Dr_willis_It may be worth trying the 8.10 live cd13:25

huydqhi14:10

huydqI AM VIETNAMESE14:11
huydqI AM VIETNAMESEhelp me14:11

nightdragonand it will prompt you for your PW14:12
huydqi have reset password for ROOT user14:12
nightdragonbut be careful because you can do some nasty stuff with root14:12
BluesKaj!root | huydq14:12
ubottuhuydq: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo14:12
nightdragonpssh... scripts? how blasse. :-P14:13
nightdragoni enjoy the finger excercise. :)14:13
H|V_3ala2HAHA14:13

stdinglade88: ask first16:41
stdin(besides, KDE 3's kwin is dead)16:41
glade88stdin: I guess the kwin-kde4 is something they made a cocktail with compiz16:42
glade88it does compositing by default but unlike kde4, it uses compiz16:42
stdinnot exactly, it has some similar features to compiz, but it's not based on compiz16:42
glade88but actually, I dont really know it kde4.0 also used compiz16:42
glade88stdin: but why do have compiz running by default then?16:43
stdincompiz is a window manager, as is kwin16:43
stdinGnome has compiz because the gnome window manager (matacity) does not do compositing16:43
* AlephTwo crosses fingers in the (vain) hope that is wifi card comes up without ndisfuckingwrapperconfighell16:43
glade88well, when I do compiz --replace it has the same effect as kwin --replace16:43
glade88stdin: thats not true, metacity does a bit in transparency and thumbnail mipmaps16:44
stdinglade88: I didn't say "transparency", I said "compositing" ;)16:44
stdinwith "compiz --replace" you're telling the compis window manager to replace the currently running one (kwin)16:44
glade88right, but metacity versions older than hardy did not have transparency and mipmapped thumbnails16:45
JuJuBeeI have a service that is not starting at boot (NIS), how can I fix this?16:45
glade88metacity has an extra "lighter effects" in gconf since hardy16:45
JuJuBeedo I use update-rc.d ?16:45
glade88stdin: yes, I know compiz --replace would do that.. but a compiz --help-all will give the exact arguments that kwin --help-all will16:46
glade88so they are strikingly similar, unlike the kwin in KDE4.016:46
stdinexactly the same? that's odd16:46
glade88a min..16:47
stdinI don't have compiz installed, so I can't tell16:47
AlephTwoanybody have a quick & dirty howto for broadcom bcm4306 wireless card?16:47
stdin!bcm43xx16:48
ubottuHelp with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx16:48
AlephTwocheers16:48
glade88stdin: maybe I see it now.. compiz calls have been linked to kwin in kde4.1.2 -- the compiz --help-all shows the properties for kwin!!16:48
stdinglade88: what does "ls -l $(which compiz)" say?16:48
glade88http://pastebin.com/m30e2edd416:49
* glade88 checks16:49
glade88glade@Mean-Machine:~$ ls -l $(which compiz)16:49
glade88-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10458 2008-10-09 17:16 /usr/bin/compiz16:49
glade88glade@Mean-Machine:~$16:49
stdinahh, I see. "/usr/bin/compiz" is actually a script which checks for compositing support and falls back to kwin/matacity16:50
glade88so still like kde4.0, its kwin which does all the compositing here..16:51
stdinno, it sees you don't have compositing so runs 'kwin "$@", which passes all the arguments to kwin, in this case "--help"16:51
glade88I would rather prefer compiz on my intel GMA950.. which IMHO work *much* smoother..16:51
glade88stdin: oic16:51
stdinI remember actually making the change to that script to get it to find kwin now :p16:52
glade88lol16:52
glade88stdin: you a MOTU ?16:52
stdinnot exactly, I haven't got around to putting in my motu application yet16:53

glade88nice.. you you're rather, a to-be MOTU ;)16:53
stdinI'm a MOTP (Master Of The Patches)16:54
stdin:p16:54
glade88lol16:54
glade88is the ccsm for GTK same for KDE ?16:54
stdinccsm is only in GTK, but runs in KDE if you have the GTK libs (like firefox)16:54
stdincompiz is *very* GTK-centric16:55
glade88right..16:55
glade88kde 4.1.2 is awesome.. I dumped gnome already :D16:58
stdinI've used KDE 4 as my primary desktop since KDE 4.0 beta16:59
glade88is there a plasma widget for controlling screen brightness ?17:02
glade88whats the command line for KDE window decorator? its not kde-window-decorator..17:14

OutoLumoHi!18:42
AlephTwoeml: ?18:42
emlAlephTwo, Yes, but when the system tries doing so manually it fails, I think it's got something to do with the UUID= stuff in /etc/fstab18:42
OutoLumoI have a question concerning re-installing the system.18:42
emlAlephTwo, And thank sbtw, I hadn't even thought of mounting it manually18:42
AlephTwoI can't remember how to get uuid of your drives. Maybe fdisk -l?18:43
OutoLumo1) How can I grab a list of installed packages so that I can easily re-install them? Is there a way to determine the seeders?18:43
emlAlephTwo, Nope18:44
emlAlephTwo, Actually that should list partition tables bu tit doesn't18:44

AlephTwoYou have a sata/ide mix of drives?18:47
emlNope, I have one IDE and one external (USB) which is usually /dev/sda18:47
emlThough I did install it using VMWare, which has never been a problem before18:47

emlLet's hope this is the only problem... Likely there's something else wrong since this shouldn't happen. This hard drive is like 7 years old or so =)18:49

lokpesthmm, just upgraded to Hardy and I have to packages that adept uppdate tells me there are new versions of, but it dont seem to download them18:50

AlephTwo*advise18:50
lokpesterr, that was wrong18:50
lokpestit downloads them, but dont seem to _install_ them18:51
AlephTwoIf the drive is dying. It could be overheating. I hear of some people freezing their drives for a while (in bags, obviously) to put enough life into them to drag the data off. Good luck!18:51
emlAlephTwo, Well it works fine now18:51
emlSeems like it's only the partition18:52
OutoLumolokpest, using aptitude, press U and G...18:52
AlephTwoyeah, but a 7-year old drive is going to be on it's way out. I'd recommend a backup =)18:52

AlephTwoWhen you plug a pci sata card & drives into a machine which has ide drive(s) installed. Fun really starts to happen18:56

Colonel_PanicI have a server case with 6 hot-swappable drive bays19:50
Colonel_Panicand one internal drive bay19:50
OutoLumook19:50
Colonel_Panicthe root partition and all the system stuff will reside on the 500MB drive that's in the internal bay19:50
Colonel_Panicalong with documents I'm working on19:51
OutoLumoAlong with swap, I guess?19:51
Colonel_Panicyes19:51

Colonel_Panicthe 1TB drive is in the 1st hot-swap bay19:51
=== tekgeeklt_ is now known as tekgeek
OutoLumoOk, it seems you want swap, root and homepartitions on that drive19:51
Colonel_Panicmy long-term goal is to create a huge RAID 5 array for all my long-term storage19:52
Colonel_PanicI don't have anonugh drives to do that at the moment, and I don't have a RAID controller yet, so I'm using this 1TB drive inj the meanwhile19:52
OutoLumoWhere are you going to mount the RAID?19:52
Colonel_Panicgeez my typing sucks today...19:52
Colonel_PanicOK anyway what I plan to do is, use this drive for the time being, then when I get the RAID controller and more drives, I'll install all of them in the rest of the hot-swappable bayss19:53
Colonel_Panictransfer all the data from this 1TB drive to the RAID array, then erase this drive and use it as my spare19:54
Colonel_Panicso in the end I will have a 4TB RAID 5 array plus 1 parity drive and one spare filling all 6 bays19:55
Colonel_PanicOK?19:55
OutoLumoOk, so now you need to detect the TB -disk, partition it as swap, root and home.19:55
OutoLumoWhat's your filesystem of choise the root and home, btw?19:55
Colonel_Panicno, I'm going to use this 1TB drive as storage only. My OS will not reside on the RAID array19:55
OutoLumoSingle-user machine? You might want to mount the RAID under /home19:56
OutoLumoOK...19:56
Colonel_PanicI want to detect this 1TB drive, transfer all my permanent data over there, then repartition my 500MB system drive to engarge the root partition and shrink the /home partition19:56
Colonel_Panichold on, i left out a step19:57
OutoLumoIn that case: backup everything on the TB, repartition 500MB: grow swap and root, shrink home19:57
Colonel_PanicI have to detect then CREATE A PARTITION on the 1TB drive, then do all the rest19:57
Colonel_PanicOK19:57
Colonel_PanicOK19:58
Colonel_PanicI think I may have to adjust my BIOS settings to detect this drive19:58

DreadKnightwondering if latest opera still has an IRC client integrated.... haven't used it in a while and i just can't find it around in the interface anymore heh20:06
mr---t-ok let me try it , I thought it was only for graphics20:06
mr---t-thanx20:07
trappistmr---t-: it's great for photos.  it compares decently with photoshop, though most (objective) users would say it's a little less powerful and a little less usable20:07

Colonel_Panicif you're running Linux, why in the world would you want Chrome?20:17
DreadKnightjust no working damn linux version...20:17
DreadKnighttold my reasons20:17
Colonel_PanicThe only idea I like about Chrome is the notion of a "sandbox tab" a.k.a. "porn tab"20:17
Tm_T...20:17
DreadKnightcan browse porn without that as well20:18
Colonel_Panicand maybe the fast Javascript rendering engine20:18
Colonel_Panicwell it's not necessarily for porn you know20:18
DreadKnighti use a real irc client and have plasmoids on my desktop; giving up on opera heh xD20:19
Colonel_Panicthe idea is that it doesn't accept cookies or use Javascript so you can use it without being tracked or run the risk of getting malware20:19
DreadKnightjust can't manage to get the irc client inside running20:19
DreadKnightColonel_Panic: i know what it does20:19
Colonel_PanicIt also doesn't keep history20:19
Colonel_PanicWell I like that idea20:19
DreadKnightno malware in linux i guess xD20:19
Colonel_PanicI haven't run across any20:19
Colonel_PanicLinux is not 100% secure though20:19
DreadKnighti know20:19
DreadKnightbut doesn't compares to windoze20:20
Colonel_Panicanyway, OutoLumo, should I use the MS-DOS volume title, or some other?20:20
DreadKnightit's so easy to be an administrator for my parents pc's20:20

OutoLumoColonel_Panic, Are you going to access it *directly* from Windows? How about Samba?20:39
Colonel_Panicto maintain compatibility, should I wish to transfer the array to a Windows machine at some time in the future20:39
