| MrKennie | draik: try what genii suggested | 03:56 |
| draik | That didn't work | 03:57 |
| john__ | ty now for the newb one.. is there another way instead of the console? | 03:57 |
| xweb | draik: on the computer your trying to connect to do. $ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart. | 03:57 |
| genii | draik: Did it give some message? | 03:57 |
| draik | xweb: I did. | 03:57 |
| draik | genii: Yes. | 03:57 |
| draik | Just a moment while I get the error message on here. 3 lines. | 03:58 |
| genii | Probably that it wasn't already running | 03:58 |
| draik | Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key | 03:58 |
| genii | ;) | 03:58 |
| MrKennie | ah heh | 03:58 |
| draik | Disabiling protocol version 1. Could not load host key | 03:58 |
| draik | Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty | 03:58 |
| draik | That's it | 03:58 |
| genii | When you installed openssh-server it should have made a key | 03:59 |
| draik | genii: I believe it should have as well. How can I get it to generate a new key? | 03:59 |
| genii | draik: Simplest is just purge and reinstall it | 04:00 |
| draik | genii: sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server && sudo apt-get install openssh-server ? | 04:00 |
| genii | Yes | 04:01 |
| draik | On it | 04:01 |
| MrKennie | I think just removing all available keys and doing dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server will work too. | 04:03 |
| mu3en | anyone know how to enable suspend on the kdm login screen? is this a distro specific dead end for Kubuntu? | 04:03 |

| MrKennie | draik: you should get more info why it failed | 04:04 |
| genii | This might be why it failed install first time out | 04:05 |

| draik | Yes | 04:06 |

| DarkShinigami | Nope | 04:07 |
| draik | DarkShinigami: Is my laptop | 04:07 |
| MrKennie | oh heh, I got confused then | 04:07 |
| MrKennie | ok | 04:07 |
| genii | If used purge then that file likely got wiped, nothing there to make abackup link of | 04:07 |
| DarkShinigami | remove sshd? | 04:08 |
| MrKennie | that's not /usr/sbin/sshd | 04:08 |
| MrKennie | its dpkg work directory of some sort. I don't know dpkg workings that well but it looks something like that | 04:09 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: try sudo -i then dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a4.7pl-8ubuntu1.2_i386.deb | 04:10 |

| DarkShinigami | :( | 04:19 |
| MrKennie | something definately isn't right | 04:19 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: try dpkg --purge openssh-server and then try installing again | 04:20 |
| DarkShinigami | dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove openssh-server which isn't installed. | 04:21 |

| MrKennie | ls -l /usr/sbin/sshd | 04:22 |
| genii | If you install other things it will go out to internet to grab them? | 04:22 |
| genii | If so, delete the deb file and try install again | 04:22 |
| genii | Or mv it somewhere | 04:22 |
| genii | I had once in a while where a d/l breaks but it leaves a file remnant of the deb, then tries to install from that later failing miserably | 04:23 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: I did that. This is what I got... | 04:23 |

| * DarkShinigami crosses fingers | 04:26 | |
| DarkShinigami | :( | 04:26 |
| DarkShinigami | Same error message | 04:26 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: can you rm /usr/sbin/sshd | 04:26 |
| MrKennie | or better mv | 04:27 |
| DarkShinigami | I did, but I wil do it again | 04:27 |
| DarkShinigami | Sorry, I didn't do that earlier. Thinking of something else. | 04:27 |
| MrKennie | mv /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/sshd.bak would be better | 04:27 |
| DarkShinigami | I tried and it said that I cannot do it | 04:27 |
| DarkShinigami | rm: cannot remove `/usr/sbin/sshd': Operation not permitted | 04:27 |
| DarkShinigami | Yes, that was with sudo | 04:28 |
| xweb | stop ssh first. | 04:28 |
| DarkShinigami | How? | 04:28 |
| xweb | sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop | 04:28 |
| DarkShinigami | sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found | 04:29 |

| DarkShinigami | sshd: no process killed | 04:30 |
| DarkShinigami | What if I restart my laptop? | 04:31 |
| MrKennie | you can try | 04:31 |
| genii | Won't do anything for that | 04:31 |
| DarkShinigami | Ok | 04:31 |
| DarkShinigami | I will reboot, just to say I did it. | 04:32 |
| genii | <sighs> | 04:32 |
| MrKennie | I'm actually concerned it can't be deleted in the first place | 04:33 |
| genii | Yup | 04:33 |
| MrKennie | could be compromised | 04:33 |
| MrKennie | lsattr shows an empty set for mine | 04:33 |
| genii | Here too | 04:34 |
| MrKennie | maybe compare md5sums | 04:34 |
| genii | MrKennie: I'm suspecting as before corruption on either hd or the deb file it's installing from | 04:34 |
| DarkShinigami | Hello all | 04:35 |
| DarkShinigami | Let me try to reinstall | 04:35 |
| DarkShinigami | Same error | 04:38 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: you runnng 64bit or 32bit? | 04:38 |
| DarkShinigami | 32 | 04:38 |
| xweb | DarkShinigami: sudo apt-get clean. | 04:38 |
| DarkShinigami | Done | 04:39 |
| xweb | this will clear out all your old deb file | 04:39 |

| MrKennie | I'm on hardy btw | 04:42 |
| genii | OK lemme install sshd and check on this 8.04 box | 04:43 |

| genii | f5e43bdf79235f04cfe09b2eb0e87a00 /usr/sbin/sshd | 04:43 |
| genii | I highly recommend boot to recovery and running fsck | 04:44 |
| jahbeez | hey all | 04:45 |
| MrKennie | yea, I'll second that. But I wonder what the additional attributes are coming from | 04:45 |
| DarkShinigami | Run into Recovery Mode and fsck the hd? | 04:46 |
| jahbeez | any 'nix networing gurus in here? | 04:46 |

| xweb | what's up ( disclamer: not a real guru) | 04:47 |
| jahbeez | just wondering how ubuntu handles networking versus kubuntu | 04:48 |
| jahbeez | on a simple home network with shared folders | 04:48 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: can you lsattr /usr/sbin/sshd again. | 04:48 |
| DarkShinigami | Sure | 04:48 |
| DarkShinigami | su---a------------ /usr/sbin/sshd | 04:48 |
| MrKennie | a shouldn't really be set on a bin | 04:50 |
| jahbeez | I've been using Kubuntu for a few years, and recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop | 04:50 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: What do you suggest? | 04:50 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: chattr -a -u -s /usr/sbin/sshd and then try mv /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/sbin/sshd.bak | 04:51 |
| jahbeez | and Ubuntu accesses shared folders/files much easier and can play/view them | 04:51 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Done | 04:51 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: no errors? | 04:51 |
| DarkShinigami | No | 04:51 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: install openssh-server | 04:51 |

| xweb | jahbeez: you have a couple option. samba lisa ssh. | 04:52 |
| xweb | lisa is kde specific. | 04:53 |
| jahbeez | yeah, but do you know which uses which? | 04:53 |
| xweb | jahbeez: i dont under stand? | 04:53 |
| jahbeez | my beef is that in Kubuntu, I can't browse to a networked computer and click on a media file to play it | 04:54 |
| jahbeez | but in Ubuntu I can | 04:54 |
| jahbeez | do they use different protocols? | 04:54 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Seems to be working :) | 04:54 |
| DarkShinigami | YAY! | 04:54 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: whew! | 04:54 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: if all is well then you can rm /usr/sbin/sshd.bak | 04:54 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Yup. | 04:55 |
| genii | DarkShinigami: After installation dblcheck the sshd file again to see if it's md5 matches the ones from earlier or not | 04:55 |
| xweb | jahbeez: configure lisa in system-setting it will provide the same funtionality. samba will work the same. | 04:55 |

| MrKennie | yup | 04:55 |
| DarkShinigami | Was that it from before? | 04:56 |
| DarkShinigami | Not mine | 04:56 |
| DarkShinigami | It's the same as yours, MrKennie | 04:56 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: both mine and genii's so you're good. | 04:56 |
| DarkShinigami | YES! | 04:56 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: may I ask what you need sshd for? | 04:56 |
| DarkShinigami | :( | 04:56 |
| DarkShinigami | Segfault still | 04:57 |

| DarkShinigami | I can't ssh into my desktop | 04:57 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: so now it doesnt work the other way? | 04:57 |
| DarkShinigami | Yes. Just for my 2 laptops and 1 desktop | 04:57 |
| jahbeez | I can't find and lisa configuration in system-setting | 04:58 |

| jahbeez | don't remember seeing anything there either? | 04:58 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: look into ufw and set it up so it only allows your local netblock. | 04:59 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: for ssh that is. | 04:59 |
| Omoikane_ | I have a little problem with my Kubuntu install. | 04:59 |

| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: first I would verify if your problem is still the laptop or not | 05:03 |
| DarkShinigami | I think it is | 05:03 |
| DarkShinigami | I can SSH into the laptop, but not out | 05:03 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: try sudo dpkg --purge openssh-client and then sudo apt-get install openssh-client | 05:04 |
| DarkShinigami | It won't let me | 05:05 |
| MrKennie | error? | 05:05 |
| genii | If they were all from same CD install perhaps same issue with the openssh | 05:06 |
| DarkShinigami | Check error in PM | 05:06 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: try sudo dpkg --purge --force-all openssh-client and then sudo apt-get install openssh-client | 05:06 |
| DarkShinigami | Ok | 05:07 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: don't make the habit of using force-all btw. in this case I we can get away with it. | 05:07 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: I have never used prior to today. I am used to sudo apt-get remove --purge PACKAGE | 05:08 |
| xweb | jahbeez: use samba | 05:08 |
| jahbeez | that's what I've been using | 05:08 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Ok. Back to square one with openssh-client | 05:08 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: error? | 05:08 |
| jahbeez | but in KDE I can't just browse to a remote computer and play a file | 05:08 |
| jahbeez | is it the player or is it the protocol? | 05:08 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Check PM | 05:09 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: sudo lsattr /usr/bin/ssh | 05:09 |
| xweb | jahbeez: is it the browsing thats not working or the playing. | 05:09 |
| MrKennie | some players can't resolve things like smb:/ | 05:10 |
| jahbeez | the playing, I can browse remote computers fine | 05:10 |
| MrKennie | most kde apps should though | 05:10 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: su--ia------------ /usr/bin/ssh | 05:10 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: sudo chattr -i -a /usr/bin/ssh | 05:11 |
| DarkShinigami | Done | 05:11 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: sudo mv /usr/bin/ssh /usr/bin/ssh.bak | 05:11 |
| DarkShinigami | Done | 05:11 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: then reinstall client | 05:11 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: if it works remove the .bak file | 05:11 |
| DarkShinigami | LOL: No wonder I can't install right now; "insteal" is not correct (depending on context) | 05:12 |
| MrKennie | lol | 05:12 |
| DarkShinigami | Nope. :( Same error message as first PM | 05:12 |
| xweb | jahbeez: audio or video. | 05:12 |
| DarkShinigami | Sorry, 2nd PM, not first | 05:13 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: did mv'ing ssh work? | 05:13 |
| DarkShinigami | Yes | 05:13 |
| MrKennie | and it still complains about /usr/bin/ssh? | 05:13 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Check PM | 05:14 |
| MrKennie | oh my | 05:14 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: for every file it complains about, you need to do the chattr -i -a thing to them and then back them up | 05:15 |
| MrKennie | this time it is /usr/bin/scp it will probably complain about /usr/bin/sftp too | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | Do it to scp? | 05:16 |
| MrKennie | yup | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | Done | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | sftp now? | 05:16 |
| MrKennie | yea | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | Done | 05:16 |
| MrKennie | retry install | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | Anything else to chattr -i -a ? | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | Ok. Reinstalling | 05:16 |
| DarkShinigami | Installed | 05:17 |
| MrKennie | phew | 05:17 |
| MrKennie | remove the backups | 05:17 |
| DarkShinigami | What backups? | 05:17 |
| DarkShinigami | Kinda forgot that step | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | SSH works | 05:18 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: oh, ok no worries then | 05:18 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: how old is this install? | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | :( | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | Now I can't SSH into it | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | Nevermind | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | That was my fault | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | Forgot to restart SSH | 05:18 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: how old is the install? | 05:18 |
| DarkShinigami | How do I check? | 05:19 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: well, how long ago did you install kubuntu? | 05:19 |
| DarkShinigami | The actual install was from 6.06 | 05:19 |
| DarkShinigami | I've just been doing the upgrades | 05:19 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: ok. run sudo ssh-vulnkey | 05:20 |
| DarkShinigami | Ok | 05:20 |
| DarkShinigami | I have 2 Not Blacklisted keys | 05:20 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: ok, run without sudo too | 05:21 |
| DarkShinigami | Ok. Same keys, but ending is root@*LAPTOP* | 05:22 |
| MrKennie | long as they show as not blacklisted you should be ok | 05:23 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: I suggest reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw | 05:24 |
| DarkShinigami | YAY | 05:24 |
| mrksbrd | xweb: u still here? | 05:24 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: also as genii suggested earlier, reboot into recovery mode and do a fsck | 05:24 |
| xweb | yes | 05:24 |
| DarkShinigami | Is this the correct syntax: sudo fsck /dev/sda1 ? | 05:25 |
| mrksbrd | this damn thing isn't working again | 05:25 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: you can also do sudo touch /forcefsck and it will do a fsck on your next reboot. | 05:26 |
| DarkShinigami | Do that now? | 05:26 |
| MrKennie | if you want. | 05:26 |
| DarkShinigami | I do. | 05:26 |
| MrKennie | :) | 05:26 |
| DarkShinigami | Done | 05:26 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Thank you SO MUCH. | 05:27 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: I would also be tempted to investigate why your ssh binaries got messed up the way they did | 05:27 |
| DarkShinigami | I will have to cancel the bug. How should I end the bug report? | 05:27 |
| MrKennie | not sure actually, lol | 05:27 |
| MrKennie | you could just add a comment and say you solved it | 05:27 |
| MrKennie | I'm not sure if you can close it yourself, that's all. | 05:28 |
| DarkShinigami | Ok | 05:29 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: I'm not sure how good rootkit scanners are but it wouldn't hurt to install something and run a quick scan. | 05:29 |
| DarkShinigami | I'll get to it tomorrow when I have time to record everything for the bug. | 05:29 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: read that url I pasted earlier, it explains how to setup ufw, it's pretty easy really. | 05:30 |
| DarkShinigami | Sweet | 05:30 |
| DarkShinigami | Thanks. I will | 05:30 |
| DarkShinigami | Goodnight all. | 05:31 |
| MrKennie | nn | 05:31 |
| DarkShinigami | MrKennie: Thanks a million! | 05:31 |
| MrKennie | DarkShinigami: you're welcome. | 05:31 |

| microchipv420 | heys everybody. for some reason, everything i download opens with kate, how can i correct this? | 05:35 |
| MrKennie | microchipv420: what are you using to download? | 05:36 |
| microchipv420 | MrKennie: konqueror | 05:37 |
| MrKennie | microchipv420: it's most likely file assocations | 05:37 |
| microchipv420 | everything from kde-look.org, for example, everything, even emerald themes open with kate | 05:37 |
| nicolas_ | hi, im using kubuntu hardy and i want to install opensuse in the same machine without unisntalling kubuntu, creating a partition for both distro, how can i do it? | 05:37 |
| microchipv420 | MrKennie: how can i correct the file association, is in konqueror only? | 05:38 |
| MrKennie | microchipv420: tools -> Configure Konqueror | 05:39 |
| MrKennie | sorry, settings -> configure konq.. | 05:39 |
| nicolas_ | noone? | 05:39 |
| microchipv420 | MrKennie: ok, i will try, brb | 05:40 |
| Sifon | nicolas: You don't want to format the drive? | 05:41 |
| nicolas_ | no, i want to keep my actual system as it is, and install suse without touching kubuntu | 05:42 |
| nicolas_ | can it be done? | 05:42 |
| Sifon | Not to my knowledge. | 05:42 |
| nicolas_ | creating a partition in my harddrive half for each distro | 05:42 |
| Sifon | Partitions have to be created at the begining, there's no way to splinter one as far as I'm aware | 05:43 |
| nicolas_ | but when im installing kubuntu it let me install the distro without touching the sistem | 05:43 |
| Sifon | I believe it automatically creates the partition on the disk | 05:44 |
| Sifon | There's a tool called Hiro's boot disk, it has a partition editor on it, if you can create a new partition, that's probably your best bet | 05:45 |
| Sifon | download the .iso and give it a shot | 05:45 |

| livinglegend912 | yeah I just installed the beta of ubuntu and it say install windows so I did that | 06:00 |
| xweb | was windows already installed? | 06:01 |
| livinglegend912 | and I rebooted and its a dual boot so i choice ubuntu but it takes me to a dos promp | 06:01 |
| livinglegend912 | yes windows was already installed | 06:01 |
| xweb | did you install window or linux first. | 06:01 |
| livinglegend912 | windows | 06:02 |
| livinglegend912 | and I installed linux in inside of it because that was a choice in the ubuntu | 06:02 |
| xweb | can you still get into windows? | 06:03 |
| livinglegend912 | yeah | 06:03 |
| xweb | vista of xp. | 06:04 |
| livinglegend912 | xp | 06:04 |
| xweb | have you tried reinstalling it. | 06:06 |
| livinglegend912 | well it boots | 06:06 |
| livinglegend912 | but i get no gui | 06:06 |
| livinglegend912 | like i need to type something like sudo apt-get install unbuntu-desktop | 06:07 |
| livinglegend912 | I just dont know what to typre | 06:07 |
| xweb | what does the prompt look like? | 06:08 |
| livinglegend912 | it say a bunch of weird stuff | 06:09 |
| livinglegend912 | its not like a dos prompt its like a ubuntu prompt | 06:09 |
| livinglegend912 | it says something like User adminstrator "root" | 06:10 |
| xweb | xweb@mylinuxbox:~$ | 06:11 |
| xweb | like that? | 06:11 |
| livinglegend912 | yeah | 06:11 |
| livinglegend912 | yeah | 06:11 |
| livinglegend912 | how do i get to the gui | 06:12 |
| xweb | type $ startx | 06:12 |
| xweb | dont type the $ | 06:13 |
| livinglegend912 | i tried that | 06:13 |
| livinglegend912 | and that didnt work | 06:13 |
| livinglegend912 | said something like unknown | 06:14 |
| livinglegend912 | i also tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and that did something weird but didnt work | 06:14 |
| livinglegend912 | i think thats for servers though | 06:14 |
| xweb | type $ ls | 06:15 |
| livinglegend912 | 1s | 06:15 |
| xweb | LS | 06:15 |
| xweb | lowercase | 06:15 |
| livinglegend912 | anything else? | 06:15 |
| livinglegend912 | i have to restart my machine to try it | 06:16 |
| xweb | what did it do? | 06:16 |
| xweb | Oo. | 06:16 |
| livinglegend912 | anything else you can tell me to try before i reboot | 06:16 |
| xweb | this is the problem. you need a network connection to install ubuntu desktop. | 06:16 |
| livinglegend912 | why | 06:17 |
| xweb | the software is on the internet. | 06:17 |
| livinglegend912 | i have the disc | 06:17 |
| livinglegend912 | i downloaded the disc | 06:17 |
| xweb | it should have installed it. thats why i sujested your reinstall. | 06:17 |
| livinglegend912 | it did but i just cant see the gui | 06:18 |
| livinglegend912 | is there anyway to start up the gui | 06:18 |
| livinglegend912 | like in that whole command promt | 06:18 |
| xweb | did you get an error when your typed startx? | 06:19 |
| livinglegend912 | brb | 06:19 |
| livinglegend912 | ok | 06:19 |
| xweb | k | 06:19 |
| mu3en | no ideas about this kdm configuration question? is it really that tricky? | 06:24 |
| xweb | mu3en: what was it? | 06:26 |
| mu3en | xweb, adding/enabling a suspend button | 06:28 |
| xweb | kde 3? | 06:29 |
| mu3en | xweb, yeah | 06:29 |
| mu3en | xweb hardy | 06:29 |
| mu3en | xweb, i can suspend from inside my session, but not in kdm | 06:29 |
| xweb | install kpowersaved and the powersaved daemon | 06:29 |
| mu3en | will that be safe for otherwise working setup? | 06:30 |
| mu3en | since i have working suspend, processor stepping etc... already working good | 06:30 |
| xweb | wait... | 06:31 |
| livinglegend912 | web | 06:34 |
| livinglegend912 | you there man | 06:34 |
| xweb | mu3en: have your tried $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 06:34 |
| livinglegend912 | i tried ls and all it said was desktop in blue and took me back to the prompt | 06:34 |
| xweb | o you mean ls. | 06:35 |
| livinglegend912 | what when I typed startx it said saw signal 11 server aboration | 06:35 |
| livinglegend912 | or something | 06:35 |
| xweb | did it list a lot of stuff befor aborting. | 06:35 |
| mu3en | xweb, will try that first. i see kpowersave and powersaved are both NOT installed right now. | 06:35 |
| livinglegend912 | yeah | 06:35 |
| xweb | mu3en: after you reconfigure logout and log back in and it should work. | 06:36 |
| xweb | we are look ing for lines that start EE thats the error lines. It is probably your video card is not set up. | 06:37 |
| xweb | what card do your have? | 06:37 |
| livinglegend912 | web | 06:37 |
| livinglegend912 | should I just reinstall | 06:37 |
| mu3en | just to check, xweb, the dpkg-reconfigure should not reintroduce the kubuntu specific faceplating? | 06:37 |
| mu3en | ahh well, at worst i can go back and rewrite the files again... | 06:38 |
| xweb | mu3en: are your using kdm or gdm? | 06:38 |
| mu3en | kdm | 06:38 |
| xweb | mu3en: what do your mean faceplating? | 06:39 |
| xweb | livinglegend912: yes. uninstall it in windows first and pay attentions to the options while installing. | 06:39 |
| gkffjcs | is there a kde equivalent to the .hidden file used by nautilus to hid non . files? | 06:40 |
| mu3en | kubuntu references a file kubuntu_default_setting_60 or something similar to 'theme' the login | 06:40 |
| livinglegend912 | should it boot right into the gui? | 06:40 |
| xweb | livinglegend912: this is a whole os not a simple app | 06:40 |
| livinglegend912 | i know | 06:40 |
| xweb | livinglegend912: yesy | 06:40 |
| mu3en | to get control over it with kcontrol module, that all has to be overwritten | 06:40 |
| mu3en | anyway, i've logged out, and i guess it has not changed the theme related setup | 06:41 |
| mu3en | and, still only have options to shut down or restart | 06:41 |
| mu3en | so maybe i should try to install kpowersave and powersaved | 06:41 |
| xweb | mu3en: backup the file and restore it later. | 06:41 |
| mu3en | xweb, no worries i have backups of this all anyway | 06:41 |
| xweb | livinglegend912: that was a yes. | 06:42 |
| mu3en | xweb, will kpowersave, etc... remove the default power manager, and if so, is that bad? | 06:42 |
| xweb | mu3en: get the buttons working first. you suing kde 3 or 4? | 06:43 |
| gkffjcs | is there a way to make kde hide non dot files? | 06:43 |
| mu3en | kde3, xweb, completely standard from kubuntu hardy cd install | 06:43 |
| xweb | k | 06:43 |
| mu3en | xweb, ked4 is on another box, and that's whole 'nother world of pain | 06:44 |
| mu3en | grin | 06:44 |
| xweb | make sure your using 4.1.2 | 06:44 |
| mu3en | i'll go and check that box out as soon as i get this suspend thing working...grin | 06:45 |
| xweb | the one that came on the cd was like 4.0.1. | 06:45 |
| mu3en | hold on hold on, the kde4 distros are 'experimental', i'm using the official kde3 on this suspend in kdm issue | 06:45 |
| xweb | right. | 06:46 |
| mu3en | and on the kde4 box, i'm pretty sure i've updated with the latest kde4 bits 'n pieces | 06:46 |
| xweb | i was just pointing it out because 4.0.1 is so incomplete. Not that 4.2 is ready for prime time. | 06:46 |
| mu3en | but that's for #kubuntu-kde4... | 06:46 |
| mu3en | he he he, true true | 06:47 |
| mu3en | so on this kde3, i should try kpowersave...? | 06:47 |
| xweb | it was busy last night | 06:47 |
| xweb | sucks today. | 06:47 |
| xweb | do the reconfigure first. | 06:47 |
| mu3en | xweb, done the reconfigure, still only shutdown and restart after x restart | 06:48 |
| mu3en | so, no change | 06:48 |
| xweb | the log out and log back in and to see if the options show up. | 06:48 |
| metbsd | i wanna install and use kubuntu4 from a 2G usb stick, is it ok? | 06:50 |
| mu3en | logged out, restarted x server again, logged out, in, out restart x server, still only 'restart' and 'power off' under the shutdown popup | 06:50 |
| mu3en | gonna restart the machine and see | 06:51 |
| xweb | try $ sudo apt-get install powersaved kpowersave | 06:51 |
| mu3en | xweb, cool, it's already in the buffer, soon as the reboot confimrs this hasn't work | 06:51 |
| xweb | mmetbsd: it might be doable. | 06:51 |
| metbsd | how doable | 06:52 |
| xweb | mu3en: k | 06:52 |
| xweb | start here. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-kubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ | 06:52 |
| metbsd | problem is i canot even boot into live dvd | 06:53 |
| metbsd | says SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block .. size f688 | 06:53 |
| xweb | metbsd: did you md5 the dvd? | 06:54 |
| mu3en | it will remove apmd and powernowd | 06:54 |
| metbsd | how to md5 the dvd | 06:54 |
| metbsd | i can md5 the iso | 06:55 |
| xweb | mu3en: its a 1 for 1 replacement. | 06:55 |
| mu3en | commiting | 06:55 |
| xweb | powersaved does all of that on apm and acpi machines. | 06:55 |
| mu3en | cool. | 06:55 |
| mu3en | chunky package | 06:55 |
| xweb | just remember what your removed. | 06:55 |
| mu3en | and adept-manager gui says it's 'officially supported' | 06:56 |
| xweb | its the prefered kde3 power managment utility. | 06:56 |
| xweb | has a functional tray icon and switch power profiles auto or manual. | 06:57 |
| mu3en | strange it doesn't install by default | 06:57 |
| xweb | its primarily intended for laptop installs. | 06:57 |
| xweb | most desktop installs won't use all its features. | 06:58 |
| mu3en | i get it... | 06:58 |
| mu3en | is there a meta package for laptops? | 06:59 |
| xweb | laptop-mode-tools - Scripts to spin down hard drive and save power | 06:59 |
| xweb | ubuntu-laptop-mode - Support for reducing hard drive power consumption | 06:59 |
| xweb | the second one. | 06:59 |
| mu3en | cool, i'm rebooting now. | 07:00 |
| xweb | k | 07:00 |
| xweb | metbsd: yes | 07:00 |
| metbsd | plz tell me how, im on windows | 07:00 |

| * xweb looks at freaky_t suspiciously | 07:30 | |
| freaky_t | hello :D | 07:30 |
| xweb | hey! | 07:31 |
| freaky_t | im freaky_t and im on kubuntu intrepid ;D | 07:31 |
| freaky_t | Sysinfo for 'loopy': Linux 2.6.27-7-generic running KDE 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), CPU: Intel(R)Core2QuadCPUQ6600@2.40GHz at 1603 MHz (4788 bogomips), HD: 90/611GB, RAM: 1101/3038MB, 154 proc's, 28.58min up | 07:31 |
| mu3en | xweb, good good call | 07:31 |
| mu3en | that applies, nvidia for me | 07:32 |
| * xweb nods approvingly | 07:32 | |
| mu3en | i'll give it a try | 07:32 |
| frozzenfire | xweb | 07:33 |
| mu3en | though i don't use compiz | 07:33 |
| frozzenfire | did u ping me mate? | 07:33 |
| xweb | freaky_t: how you liking it so far? | 07:33 |
| frozzenfire | xweb: did u ping me mate? | 07:33 |
| xweb | sorry t thought i lost my connection. | 07:34 |
| freaky_t | it's cool there are just a few problems eg. when i rightclick on a menu item (kmenu) and press add to favourites it displays a default icon under favourites (some gear) also kdevelop can't compile programs says command not found and i've installed build essential someone said, it was because my libtool was broken | 07:34 |
| frozzenfire | xweb: np i was just checking if u needed anything... anyways back to studies now | 07:34 |
| mu3en | xweb, damn, server-xgl is not installed | 07:34 |
| freaky_t | and mp3s can't be played since a few days | 07:34 |
| freaky_t | but desktop effects and the nvidia driver are working ;D | 07:35 |
| freaky_t | also sometimes when i boot up my pc doesnt stop to beep i then have to restart it - then it works - i don't know it cant load some graphic buffers or smth. at boot time sometimes | 07:35 |
| xweb | there is gonna be a lot of breakage in intrepid leading up to the release as they hash out the final. | 07:35 |
| freaky_t | yea and when they release the final versions hopefully they get a lot of more bugreports so they fix my stuff ;D | 07:36 |
| xweb | you should definitly submit your complaints. it would be a big help. | 07:37 |
| freaky_t | im too lazy | 07:37 |
| mu3en | web, but thanks for trying...i feel it's a bit of a black hole, and i'm not even sure if it's a bug, i just don't think it's a feature | 07:37 |
| xweb | lol | 07:38 |
| freaky_t | when is intrepid going to be released again? | 07:38 |
| xweb | freaky_t: just setup your pop email and install bugzilla. | 07:38 |
| xweb | oct 30 i think | 07:38 |
| freaky_t | ok 15 days | 07:39 |
| freaky_t | xweb: why should i install bugzilla? oO | 07:39 |
| xweb | it pops up when stuff crashes an makes a email to submit a bug report. | 07:39 |
| xweb | i think thats the right app. | 07:40 |
| freaky_t | apport does the same i guess | 07:40 |
| freaky_t | i keep getting "an application crashed" messages like kwin crashes on my sigsegv | 07:40 |
| freaky_t | *me | 07:40 |
| freaky_t | but when i try to submit it asks me if it is one of the allready reported bugs, but i can't know so i just leave it alone | 07:43 |
| xweb | i got them mixed up bugzilla is for mozilla | 07:43 |
| freaky_t | ;D | 07:43 |
| xweb | yeah that sound like a lot of work. | 07:43 |
| xweb | why dont you just report bugs on one app or utility. that would reduce the work. | 07:44 |
| freaky_t | what do you mean? | 07:44 |
| xweb | i know amaroke kde4 could use some bug reporting. | 07:44 |
| xweb | crashed on me 6 times today. | 07:45 |
| freaky_t | are u on intrepid? | 07:45 |
| xweb | play list no working well. | 07:45 |
| xweb | no but i do have the latest kde4. | 07:45 |

| josh_ | yays | 07:53 |
| dianne | Hi, I've got a new laptop (Dell Vostro) and I'm trying to get the wireless networking happening. I've followed the instructions athttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy andhttp://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 but still nothing... and I'm new to wireless networking | 07:54 |
| Reed_Solomon | hum | 07:54 |
| Reed_Solomon | so the driver isn't loading | 07:54 |
| dianne | i don't think so | 07:55 |
| jmod | Medibuntu uh never heard of that | 07:55 |
| josh_ | not supported yet maybe? | 07:55 |
| xweb | http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ | 07:55 |
| dianne | i keep getting an error that it parse the XML | 07:55 |
| xweb | pre pakaged b43 drivers | 07:55 |
| jmod | I see beta? | 07:55 |
| xweb | dianne: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ | 07:55 |
| josh_ | dianne: which model of Vostro | 07:56 |
| freaky_t | xweb: i've added the repos | 07:56 |
| josh_ | 1000, 2510, etc | 07:56 |
| freaky_t | xweb: still no demux plugin found | 07:56 |
| xweb | refresh and enjoy | 07:56 |
| dianne | 1000 | 07:56 |
| josh_ | cool thx. | 07:57 |
| xweb | freaky_t: are you using adept_manager | 07:57 |
| freaky_t | no im using the command line | 07:57 |
| freaky_t | apt-get | 07:57 |
| xweb | freaky_t: apt-get update | 07:57 |
| freaky_t | did taht | 07:57 |
| freaky_t | ;p | 07:57 |
| xweb | apt-get install win32-codecs | 07:57 |
| freaky_t | can i list only those files in the medibuntu repos in adept_manager? | 07:57 |
| freaky_t | did that | 07:58 |
| xweb | not sure. | 07:58 |
| josh_ | ok from wat i can see here the wireless is an external device eg usb dongle is this true? | 07:58 |
| dianne | not in the laptop | 07:58 |
| josh_ | so is the wireless builtin? | 07:58 |
| dianne | it's an internal broadcom | 07:58 |
| dianne | yeah | 07:58 |
| josh_ | cool | 07:58 |
| xweb | dianne: did you check out the b43xx drivers link? | 07:58 |
| Reed_Solomon | well the question is, is the driver being loaded? Where is the xml error coming from | 07:59 |
| Reed_Solomon | if the driver is loaded, the problem is with a script somewhere | 07:59 |
| Reed_Solomon | network manager or whatever | 07:59 |
| Reed_Solomon | as far as i can fathom | 08:00 |
| mrksbrd | dianne: do you need the driver? | 08:00 |
| dianne | xweb: i think that's the one at "linux Wireless" isn't it? | 08:01 |
| dianne | mrksbrd: i don't know exactly what i need at the moment | 08:01 |
| dianne | I've done a tail |dmesg | 08:01 |
| mrksbrd | did u install ndiswrapper yet? | 08:01 |
| dianne | and i get something about the firmware is too new | 08:02 |
| Reed_Solomon | ah | 08:02 |
| xweb | dianne: i have had 3 laptop including the one im using that user these driver | 08:02 |
| mrksbrd | dianne: have u installed ndiswrapper? | 08:03 |
| freaky_t | why do i have 3 package manager installed | 08:03 |
| xweb | which ones. | 08:04 |
| xweb | freaky_t: synaptic will let you list only packages from a specific repo. | 08:04 |
| freaky_t | hm, thanks | 08:05 |

| bentob0x | hi | 08:09 |
| bentob0x | is 8.10 beta is stable enough to use it on an everyday basis? | 08:09 |
| mrksbrd | never made it past install | 08:10 |
| bentob0x | assuming that if I install it today, on the 30th it'll update to the full version | 08:10 |
| bentob0x | k might skip that one then | 08:10 |
| mrksbrd | yes | 08:10 |
| mrksbrd | i don't like the feel of kde 4, not sure if i will ever update | 08:11 |

| mrksbrd | stay with it for a bit | 08:26 |
| jmod | yeah I did to but then I was like what the h*ll why not | 08:26 |

| lain_wired | Hiya all. | 08:40 |
| jmod | HI | 08:41 |
| lain_wired | I'm on a network with a Windows computer, which has a printer attached to it. | 08:41 |
| lain_wired | How do I use this printer? | 08:41 |
| jmod | I see | 08:41 |
| lain_wired | Sorry for being painfully vague. | 08:41 |
| jmod | uh ROFL | 08:41 |
| lain_wired | I'm not sure what information to supply. | 08:41 |
| jmod | um... | 08:41 |
| lain_wired | I attempted to add the printer to the list of available printers - however thr driver I needed wasn't present. | 08:42 |
| lain_wired | I used sane-find-scanner and it doesn't seem to see the printer. | 08:43 |
| xweb | there was a guy here asking about escaping a -. | 08:43 |
| xweb | who was that? | 08:44 |
| jmod | I know it's was ... brb | 08:44 |
| jmod | baudthief | 08:44 |
| xweb | thanks | 08:45 |
| jmod | yep that's him | 08:45 |
| jmod | np | 08:45 |
| mu3en | any one else have any ideas about getting suspend option on kdm login screen? | 08:47 |
| xweb | the login screen or the log out screen? | 08:48 |
| mu3en | login | 08:48 |
| julia | #liputon08 | 08:49 |
| xweb | that has to do with your theme | 08:49 |
| mu3en | xweb, still not i guess. | 08:49 |
| mu3en | i can't see any options in kdmrc for that | 08:49 |
| mu3en | nor in kcontrol | 08:51 |

| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 08:52 |
| dianne | xweb: it's worked THANK YOU | 08:54 |
| xweb | mu3en: i dont have it on the login screen in kde4 | 08:55 |
| xweb | dianne: your welcome | 08:55 |
| mu3en | xweb, no, i think it's kubuntu wide | 08:55 |
| lain_wired | Hi again. | 08:56 |
| lain_wired | I'm using kubuntu, and I am on a network with several windows boxes. On of the XP boxes has a printer attached. | 08:56 |
| mu3en | xweb, but there is no real solution i can find, and very very few references generally | 08:56 |
| lain_wired | Kubuntu apparently can not see this printer, and as such, can not use it. | 08:56 |
| xweb | lain_wired: you need samba install. | 08:57 |
| lain_wired | That's funny, I could have sworn I had installed it. | 08:57 |
| lain_wired | *shrug* | 08:57 |
| lain_wired | Okay, got samba. | 08:58 |
| lain_wired | What now? | 08:58 |
| xweb | what windows printer do you have? | 08:59 |
| lain_wired | Epson CX3900 | 08:59 |
| Saka_ | hi all | 09:01 |
| jmod | Hi | 09:01 |
| lain_wired | Oddly, the specific driver for that is missing | 09:03 |
| lain_wired | sane still can't find the printer. :( | 09:03 |
| xweb | lain_wired: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_CX3900 | 09:04 |
| xweb | lain_wired: you do know sane is scanner software? | 09:06 |
| lain_wired | Yes. | 09:06 |
| lain_wired | That's why I used it to scan for attached printers. | 09:07 |
| xweb | you attaching it directy to the linux box? | 09:07 |
| lain_wired | No, I assumed it would see them over the network, but judging by your question, I was wrong. | 09:08 |
| jmod | this is getting interesting! | 09:10 |
| lain_wired | IS it? | 09:10 |
| lain_wired | Also I've installed that particular driver twice and it does not appear in the list of available drivers, and to the best of my knowledge, Ubuntu can not see the printer. | 09:11 |
| xweb | how is the printer attacged usb? | 09:15 |
| lain_wired | Huh? | 09:16 |
| jmod | yeah and isn't atached to a WIN BOX | 09:16 |
| xweb | how is the printer attached. | 09:16 |
| xweb | then linux will never see it. just the print queue. | 09:17 |
| xweb | brb i need to check a box with kde 3 on it. | 09:17 |
| lain_wired | Oh right. kk | 09:17 |
| xweb | kmenu ->system settings ->printers | 09:19 |
| xweb | add -> smb printer (windows) | 09:20 |
| jmod | what version of windows (xp 2000 yes!) is running on the computer that the printer is attached too? | 09:22 |
| Brydenn | hey guys, ... what do i need to do to manually change my name server permenetly to 4.2.2.1 ? | 09:23 |
| Brydenn | i dont want my modem to find its own as its hacked hehe | 09:23 |
| xweb | you mean your ip | 09:23 |
| Brydenn | no i mean the name server... or DNS server | 09:24 |
| Brydenn | whatever you wanna call it | 09:24 |
| xweb | on the internet right? | 09:24 |
| Brydenn | well ya to get on the internet | 09:25 |
| Brydenn | cuz if my modem trys to use my ISPs name server it wont get online | 09:25 |
| Brydenn | i'll juts get the "welcome to comcast" screen | 09:25 |
| lain_wired | jmod: XP | 09:25 |
| xweb | lain_wired: when you get to the screen that asks for the driver click other and point it to the ppd file you downloaded from that link. | 09:26 |
| lain_wired | I downloaded a ppd file? O_O | 09:26 |
| Brydenn | i think i remember someone teling me about a little "hack" you could do in the resolv.conf to make it so it never changed | 09:26 |
| xweb | lain_wired: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_CX3900 | 09:27 |
| lain_wired | Yes, from there I downloaded a deb file. O_O | 09:28 |
| lain_wired | No ppd file though | 09:28 |
| xweb | lain_wired: have you installed the deb? | 09:32 |
| lain_wired | Yes. Twice. | 09:33 |
| lain_wired | wait! | 09:33 |
| lain_wired | haha missed an step | 09:33 |
| lain_wired | s* | 09:33 |
| lain_wired | a* | 09:33 |
| xweb | lain_wired: this is the driver Epson Stylus CX3805 | 09:33 |
| lain_wired | It still can't detect the printer | 09:34 |
| lain_wired | Okay, just so we're clear, the driver is not an issue yet | 09:34 |
| lain_wired | I can't even SEE the printer. | 09:35 |
| xweb | lain_wired: kmenu ->system settings ->printers | 09:37 |
| lain_wired | Yes, and? | 09:37 |
| lain_wired | I did all that. | 09:37 |
| xweb | click add | 09:38 |
| lain_wired | I've done this, just before | 09:38 |
| lain_wired | It has PDF as the only available option. | 09:38 |

| ActionParsnip | and how after coming back from suspend loads of stuff doesnt wake up | 10:10 |

| silson | I wanted to know when web apps like thinkfree save their java cache, how do I find it to clean it after I've decided not to use it after all (it's glacially slow) ? | 10:31 |
| atcc | hi guys.. does anyone know how to use eeepc asus with sony ericsson mobile phone as a modem? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sash__unreg: why would you not trust your mouse | 10:31 |
| silson | I tried this in ubuntu java but it seems to be avery quiet group :( | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: do you mean coding? | 10:32 |
| sash__unreg | yep, but the bluez thingy asks about it =))) | 10:32 |
| silson | ActionParsnip I'm not absolutely sure. Thinkfree says it has to save some stuff and then it loads | 10:32 |
| atcc | eeepc asus has a default os of linux.. i dont know if its a ubuntu version of linux | 10:33 |
| silson | I looked in .java but it's a complicated folder structure those Sun boys have there :( | 10:33 |
| silson | Ther eis about 50 subfolders in the cache | 10:33 |
| silson | I suppose it wouldn't really hurt to remove it all? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | atcc: its sabayon based distro | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: so you put what in that foldr, then what exactly loads? | 10:35 |
| atcc | actionparsnip: so what will i do to use my mobile phone as modem in my eeepc asus notebook? | 10:35 |
| silson | I'm hearing a lot about sabayon lately - never even heard the name last month - is this going to be the new trendy distro on the block :) | 10:35 |
| silson | It's afrench dessert isn't it | 10:35 |
| silson | Never tasted it mind | 10:35 |
| === atcc is now known as eyzee | ||
| ActionParsnip | silson: its been around a while | 10:36 |
| silson | silson a java based office suite loads | 10:36 |
| silson | Well at least the component you choose anyway | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | atcc: id jump over to the #eeepc room or read the eeepcuser forum | 10:37 |
| silson | then it saves docs in the .thinkfree/temp folder | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: you mean openoffice? | 10:37 |
| silson | silson no | 10:38 |
| silson | Maybe you should look at thinkfree.com | 10:38 |
| silson | I might not be explaining it very well | 10:38 |
| silson | Or maybe it's just hard to explain | 10:38 |
| silson | If you have time I mean | 10:38 |
| eyzee | actionparsnip: in the forum there's no topic that came up re: my probs | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | eyzee: then log a new post | 10:39 |
| silson | It's more like Google Docs actionparsnip | 10:39 |
| silson | But it's java based and has alot more features | 10:39 |
| silson | When it first loads it says it has to save something to the Java cache | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: ive not used googledocs | 10:40 |
| silson | I assumed this meant to /home/username/.java/deployment/cache/ | 10:41 |
| silson | But that folder has too many folders to search through so I was hoping someone was familiar with it | 10:41 |
| eyzee | actionparsnip: i think i'll do that tnx | 10:42 |
| silson | In fact it has 62 subfolders - which is a bit daunting :( | 10:43 |
| sash__unreg | rm -rf won't do the trick? | 10:44 |
| silson | actionparsnip is there no Java equivalent of? | 10:44 |
| silson | http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html | 10:44 |
| sash__unreg | damnit. that kubuntu8.10/kde4.1.2 looks so nice, it makes me wish to forget what I wanted it for | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: im not that conversant with java. only got iced-tea on my 64bit rig to give me a plugin | 10:46 |
| silson | It does look good sash__unreg | 10:46 |
| silson | I will stay with Hardy for now though. | 10:46 |
| silson | ActionParsnip Java don't document themselves very well | 10:46 |
| ircleuser | hi guys, im using kubuntu hardy heron and this morning there were some autoupdates and i allowed them, then it asked me to reboot. result> i cant get connected anymore, i was using wicd for a wifi connection with a router and i had installed the cvs driver to replace the rt73 that werent wrking, please help | 10:46 |
| silson | That's really annoying to me | 10:46 |
| silson | ActionParsnip: I'm new to Ubuntu/Kubuntu but I have used computers for a while and I like to get a mental map of where things are if you know what I mean | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: the gentoo would be ideal for you | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: you will know where everything is down to the file | 10:50 |
| === ircleuser is now known as ircleuserz | ||
| silson | ActionParsnip Idon't know that distro, although the name does ring a bell. I'll look | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: you compile source from repos using emerge rather than downloading binarys | 10:52 |
| silson | ActionParsnip I have a really good map in my head of where things are in XP - it will take time to transfer that knowledge to a new system. | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: it uses less bandwidth to download stuff but takes a while to compile a base system | 10:52 |
| silson | ActionParsnip ah so I would decide more or less where to put things? | 10:52 |
| silson | That sounds good | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: if you choose to | 10:53 |
| silson | I did want to get on this Ubuntu Bandwagon though :) | 10:53 |
| silson | I was just looking. They don't recommend gentoo for new users like me? | 10:53 |
| bazhang | gentoo not for first timers, and ot here anyways | 10:53 |
| silson | See I'm thrown. I am a linux newbie, but I like to think I've built up a sound general knowledge of how computers work and I notice there is asort of standard map for folder structure in Linux which Ubuntu departs from more than most it seems. | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: most are standard in all *nix systems | 10:57 |
| silson | silson yeah I suppose I'm just expecting too much too soon. I just need to accept that I'm back to first base and start learning again. | 10:58 |
| silson | I will stick with Ubuntu cos I think it performs very well | 10:58 |
| silson | The rest is down to me to strt reading and relearning what I used to know on Windows. | 10:59 |
| bazhang | !lnw | 10:59 |
| ubottu | Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm | 10:59 |
| silson | Hell I did it once long ago when I moved from Acorn to Windows so I can do it again :) | 10:59 |
| bazhang | also !rute | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: i think it performs poorly but i use it for an easy life | 11:00 |
| silson | ActionParsnip I suppose it depends what you're after. I did notice how fast the Fedora 10 beta boots. That is really fast. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: exactly. thats why there is no BEST version of linux as everyones needs are different | 11:01 |
| silson | Ok I'll start reading those guides | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: you can speed it up by sacking off metacity and using fluxbox | 11:02 |
| silson | ActionParsnip I looked at Fluxbox when I tried Vector - good distro - shame he can't decide whether it's free or not - keeps chaging his mind it seems :( | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: fluxbox is a window manager, not a distro | 11:03 |
| silson | ActionParsnip No it's just that Vector uses Flux by default - so does DSL it seems | 11:04 |
| silson | Actually Vector might use Enlightenment | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: many do, i think its awesome | 11:04 |
| silson | Anyway it was very fast | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: i run it on my kubuntu as I think kwin is horrific | 11:05 |
| silson | ActionParsnip yeah I'm not sure of the KDE win manager | 11:05 |
| silson | I may move to Xfce | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: same kida deal | 11:06 |
| silson | I have installed it this morning actually | 11:06 |
| silson | I like Xfce it's simple like me LOL | 11:06 |

| silson | Sorry I'm firing off tooo many judgement questions. I'll read and think on it - thanks for you suggestions ActionParsnip! | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: np man | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | silson: research is the answer to all question | 11:09 |

| kerry_ | ok sorry | 12:42 |
| kerry_ | but can you help me fix it ? | 12:44 |
| kerry_ | can you tell me how to reinstal the cube thing? | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | I normally turn off all the compiz stuff.. you must have your 3d drivers installed properly for it to work, then yoiu just enable compiz | 12:44 |
| Rioting_pacifist | google seams to be sending me round in outdated circles (often not even about the new port) think ill just compile it from the hg tree and hope for the best | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | You dont reinstall the cube.. you enable compiz :) and enavble the cube plugin | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | i hope you are not trying to use the cube in KDE4 | 12:46 |
| kerry_ | wat is KDE4? | 12:46 |

| kerry_ | should i download it ? | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | If you dont even know what it is.. i would say no. | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | Unless you want to test it out. | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | its the next release of kde. with a lot of big changes. | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | and its very much a work in progress | 12:48 |

| Serva | Hello. How do I check which packages in kubuntu are eating my precious hard disk space? | 13:15 |
| Serva | 14 mb free out of 29.6 gb left | 13:16 |
| liquidat | Serva: 29.6 gb is most certainly something else. Not the package, but generated content (log files, etc.) | 13:16 |
| Serva | I understand that but I want to free up at least 8gb's | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | i would check for .trash thats not been emptied and /var/cache the apt cache can get large also | 13:17 |
| Tm_T | Serva: first, do "sudo apt-get autoclean" and then see "du -ch / --max-depth=2" | 13:17 |
| liquidat | Serva: du -sh DIRECTORY shows you the space the directory needs. That way you can check all directories, starting at "/". | 13:19 |
| Serva | It tells me that my home has like 25gig worth of stuff lying over | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | KDE has that graphical thing that can show space used in a graphical maner also.. | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | but i forget what its called. I dont think its installed by default | 13:20 |
| liquidat | So, Serva, go to your home, and do the same there: du -sh . | 13:20 |
| liquidat | Or, better, list all directories and check the output of them. | 13:20 |
| liquidat | for them, not of them. | 13:20 |
| * dr_willis suspects a lot of video.. or trash that never got emptied. :) | 13:21 | |
| Serva | dr_willis, trash gets emptied atleast weekly | 13:21 |
| liquidat | Serva: The command | 13:21 |
| liquidat | du -sch --exclude=.. .* | 13:21 |
| liquidat | should help you. | 13:21 |
| liquidat | Called in your home directory it will check for all directories there, will exclude the upper dir '..' and will also show the numbers in a human friendly way. | 13:22 |
| rogan | i just converted from vista and i love it | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | I recall seeing someone that used the GUI as root.. and deleted a lot of stuff.. so it all went in roots trash.. that never got deleted. :) but its so,mtning to watch out for. | 13:22 |
| Serva | http://paste.ubuntu.com/57860/ here're the du-sh results | 13:24 |
| Serva | du -sch --exclude=.. .* | 13:24 |
| liquidat | Serva: 25G .strigi | 13:27 |
| liquidat | I think that is the problem - strigi fills up the hard disk. | 13:27 |
| liquidat | Crazy... | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | I recall hearing of that bug. | 13:27 |
| liquidat | For now, kill strigi (Ctrl+Esc, pick strigi, kill it), delete the directory, and report the problem to the KDE guys. | 13:27 |
| liquidat | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/strigi/+bug/256339 | 13:28 |
| liquidat | Seems to be the same. | 13:28 |
| liquidat | Actually, that is just a dup, the real bug is here: | 13:29 |
| liquidat | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/strigi/+bug/227280 | 13:29 |
| Serva | yay! 24.7 gigs freed | 13:33 |
| Nasj | :P | 13:33 |
| Serva | danke everyone | 13:33 |
| Tm_T | awww | 13:33 |
| Serva | any more known bugs, which like to eat space? | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | Thats amost as much space as Windows 'system recovery' wants to use.. :) | 13:34 |
| Serva | how do you write like *Serva nods on the channel | 13:35 |
| Serva | with the / | 13:35 |
| * dr_willis dosent know | 13:36 | |
| dr_willis | :) | 13:36 |

| livinglegend912 | were is the best place to get programs for ubuntu | 15:15 |
| oo0 | I need to know howto change my volume scroll to react slower on my laptop! | 15:17 |
| little | The package manager (Synaptic in Ubuntu and Adept Manager in Kubuntu), Add/Remove Programs from the main menu, and then some external websites. | 15:17 |
| little | ooO: That might be in your BIOS settings. | 15:17 |
| livinglegend912 | gotcha | 15:17 |
| little | So nobody else is having trouble with today's kernel update? | 15:18 |
| === michael__ is now known as spanky | ||
| Tm_T | little: in Hardy that is? | 15:18 |
| little | Tm_T: Yep. | 15:18 |
| === spanky is now known as do | ||
| Tm_T | hmm, there should be trouble? | 15:19 |
| little | On reboot, I get, "No suitable module for running kernel found" and it hangs. I had to boot into 2.6.24-19. | 15:19 |
| little | When I do a search with that error message, all the hits are for VirtualBox. | 15:19 |
| little | I have VirtualBox installed, but I'm booting into Kubuntu Hardy Heron - not VirtualBox. It's strange. | 15:20 |
| === limcore is now known as limcore_ | ||
| liquidat | Little - when is that error message given out? | 15:20 |
| liquidat | You can certainly boot the machine, can't you? | 15:20 |
| little | liquidat: As soon as I rebooted after installing the kernel update. | 15:20 |
| === ariel_ is now known as JillyBean | ||
| liquidat | little: What means "as soon as I rebooted"? Where is that said? Right as the first message after grub? | 15:21 |
| little | liquidat: I get past GRUB and the system begins loading different components. The error I told you about shows up with a red asterisk next to it (everything else is white text). | 15:21 |
| little | liquidat: After the error message, the system continues loading other components (like NFS, etc.), and then it just hangs with a blinking cursor beneath all the text. | 15:22 |
| little | liquidat: I cannot boot. I had to boot with 2.6.24.19 to be able to boot. | 15:22 |
| liquidat | little: Nvidia or ATI card? | 15:23 |
| little | liquidat: NVIDIA | 15:23 |
| === do is now known as bfife | ||
| little | liquidat: The graphics modules are loading just fine. | 15:24 |
| liquidat | Is there a module name given? | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | hola | 15:24 |
| liquidat | And the machine booting up is definitely not booting on a virtualbox, xen, vmware or pcvirtualmachine? | 15:24 |
| JillyBean | hola Blue | 15:24 |
| little | liquidat: No, the entire error message is, "* No suitable module for running lernel found". | 15:24 |
| biophysics | Hi all, I was wondering why there is _no_ IRC available in kopete-kde4 ? | 15:24 |
| little | liquidat: No. I am booting into Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04. I have VirtualBox installed, but it does not load on boot-up. I run it manually sometimes. | 15:25 |
| JillyBean | bio, maybe you just have to add the package. | 15:25 |
| Davve | Hello guys, someone know the command to show my IP? | 15:26 |
| JillyBean | little: I always have trouble downloading and booting actual Kubuntu...I just download regular Ubuntu and install KDE. | 15:26 |
| rogan | whatsmyip.com | 15:26 |
| Davve | k, ty | 15:26 |
| BluesKaj | hi JillyBean...looking at the MOTD but there's no official release date posted for Intrepid | 15:26 |
| liquidat | little: However, the kernel modules for virtualbox might be loaded right at the start. How about removing virtualbox and trying to restart again? | 15:26 |
| little | liquidat: Someone else has a problem with this update, but it's different from mine: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3098258.0 | 15:26 |
| JillyBean | Blue, I think it's October 31...is the actual release date for 8.10 | 15:27 |
| little | liquidat: Can I remove VirtualBox while in 2.6.24-19? And will that affect the new kernel when I try to boot it? | 15:27 |
| BluesKaj | thx JillyBean | 15:27 |
| JillyBean | Blue, sure. :) At least I knew the answer to that question. | 15:28 |
| JillyBean | You should just be able to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10 once it's released. That's my plan | 15:28 |
| liquidat | little: Sure, you can remvoe it if it's not running. | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | JillyBean: hehe , you'll learn soon enuff :) | 15:29 |
| little | liquidat: Okay, thanks, I'll try that. Do you think, if it works, I can try reinstalling it once I successfully boot with the new kernel? | 15:29 |
| JillyBean | Blue, that's the plan. :) | 15:29 |
| oo0 | I need to know howto change my volume scroll to react slower on my laptop! | 15:30 |
| liquidat | little: Depends a bit on how you installed it, but usually there is a way to simply rebuild the modules once you are booted up. | 15:31 |
| liquidat | So, reinstalling should be fine. | 15:31 |
| little | liquidat: I grabbed it from the package manager, so it would be an easy reinstall. Thanks! I have to go somewhere right now, but I'll try your suggestion when I get back, and come back in here and report how it went in case anyone else is having the same issue. | 15:32 |

| JillyBean | Though there may be an easier way. I'm not very used to linux just yet | 15:34 |

| genii | oo0: For the scrolling thing you might find some help here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 | 15:35 |
| JillyBean | If just the "kill" command won't do it...you can kill -9 and that will force it to quit | 15:35 |
| genii | oo0: To forcibly kill a window, ctrl-alt-esc then put the X on the offensive window and click. | 15:36 |
| JillyBean | I love having a nice terminal window to do things in. :) Windows sucks sooo bad. | 15:36 |
| JillyBean | genli: see I knew there was an easier way!! :) | 15:36 |

| JillyBean | genli: Indeed. | 15:37 |

| JillyBean | I was going through the Dell ordering thing the other day (for fun)...I think you have to have money to actually order one. :) | 15:58 |
| JillyBean | But anyway, I tried the option with the pre-installed ubuntu and it said it would take an entire month for them to get it here. | 15:58 |
| JillyBean | I'm not liking that idea. | 15:58 |
| genii | Dell is linux friendly as a company but they still insist on using hardware that needs non-standard drivers. Conexant modems for instance | 15:58 |
| JillyBean | Hrm...yeah that's what I've heard. Hopefully I can find something else. I was looking at the system76 ones too...I like those. | 16:00 |

| Hexagown | it says "could not find the package ndisgtk" | 16:10 |
| Hexagown | i couldent install whit sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 16:11 |

| Hexagown | no, thats the one i need to install | 16:11 |
| Hexagown | i have the file... but what command shall i use? | 16:11 |
| martin_ | JillyBean: yes i did that, but is it suppose to look different | 16:12 |

| JillyBean | Oh did you install the kubuntu-desktop package? | 16:13 |
| peer` | can anybody help me with my wireless issue? | 16:13 |
| JillyBean | I just went through this...and you have to install "kubuntu-desktop" | 16:13 |
| genii | Hexagown: Ok, I'll just give you line by line instructions: Close Adept firstly if it's open. Then open Konsole if it's not open yet. Then: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 16:13 |

| genii | Hexagown: Did you get the windows .inf stuff already ? | 16:14 |

| Hexagown | well iv used sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 16:15 |

| Dustin3 | the partition manager/installer didn't install GRUB | 17:58 |
| Dustin3 | and I am too feeble to comprehend how to do it manually | 17:58 |
| Sudi | ?? | 17:58 |
| Dustin3 | Last time I installed it, it installed the bootloader automatically | 17:59 |
| Dustin3 | but this time I didn't get the option and I didn't realize it till after.. | 17:59 |
| Hexxa | I have to eat now | 17:59 |
| Hexxa | Have to eat, brb | 17:59 |
| genii | Hexxa: OK. Does: lsmod |grep ndiswrapper show it loaded or just come back to command prompt? | 18:00 |
| genii | Hexxa: All right. I'll be around a while | 18:00 |
| krash | Greetings folks | 18:00 |

| Sudi | nope | 18:04 |
| Sudi | i'm from germany | 18:04 |
| krash | ahh *nods* and you're sure it's not a wireless router & modem? I never heard of just a wireless modem | 18:04 |
| Sudi | well its not a router | 18:05 |
| krash | how are you connected now? | 18:05 |
| Dustin3 | Anyone here familiar with installing GRUB manually? | 18:05 |
| Sudi | i'm on windows now | 18:05 |
| krash | So windows connects to it, but when you dual boot into kubuntu it doesn't? | 18:05 |
| Dustin3 | speaking of dual booting Kubuntu :P | 18:05 |
| Sudi | yeah | 18:05 |
| krash | Dustin3 I'm looking that up for ya now :) | 18:06 |
| Dustin3 | hehe | 18:06 |
| Dustin3 | I'm not sure why it didn't give me the option | 18:06 |
| krash | been a while since I did it manually | 18:06 |
| Dustin3 | when I installed Ubuntu | 18:06 |
| Dustin3 | it loaded it up right away | 18:06 |
| Dustin3 | no hassle | 18:06 |
| Dustin3 | this time, nothing... | 18:06 |
| krash | sudi what version/platform of kubuntu you use btw? | 18:07 |
| Sudi | well the newest | 18:07 |
| Sudi | just downloaded it | 18:08 |
| Sudi | with kde4 | 18:08 |
| Sudi | should i update the kde version to 4.1? | 18:08 |
| Sudi | or is it something else | 18:08 |
| krash | Sudi well to be honest I just switched from ubuntu 8.04 to kubuntu 8.10 but mine set up everything automatically for me | 18:09 |
| Sudi | well 8.10 | 18:09 |
| Sudi | is that actually out??? | 18:09 |
| krash | it's the beta | 18:09 |
| Sudi | ohh | 18:09 |

| Sudi | ok | 18:10 |
| Dustin3 | lol | 18:10 |
| Sudi | well i'm using 8.04 | 18:10 |
| krash | 15 more days, I figured I'd get a jump start :) | 18:10 |
| Dustin3 | I was considering that | 18:10 |
| Dustin3 | but sinec I'm such a newb I figured go for a stable release | 18:10 |
| Hexxa | im back | 18:10 |
| krash | it seems to be working pretty good for me | 18:10 |
| krash | it's a whole different look though | 18:10 |
| Sudi | well that doesn't matter here | 18:11 |
| Dustin3 | I'm almost tempted to install BootMagic | 18:11 |
| Dustin3 | or some awful program | 18:11 |
| Dustin3 | just so I can get in | 18:11 |
| Dustin3 | or just end up reinstalling Kubuntu again | 18:11 |
| Hexxa | genii: hell im back, are you there? | 18:11 |
| krash | Dustin3 imo there is no better way to get out of the newb stage than to tinker and screw up and fix it hehe | 18:11 |

| Dustin3 | Hmm really | 18:12 |
| Dustin3 | boot from the disc? | 18:12 |
| krash | Dustin3: Yeah it has the grub program on it, should be help files on it as well | 18:13 |
| Dustin3 | ok I'll take a peek | 18:13 |

| thebornotaku | I just installed it from an old disc I had | 18:27 |
| thebornotaku | I also want to upgrade KDE, would that happen at the same time as the 8.04 update or do I need to get KDE 7.1 seperately? | 18:28 |
| krash | well if it's a fresh install just install over it with 8.04 | 18:28 |
| kushou | hi | 18:28 |
| krash | well I'm using the kubuntu 8.10 beta disk... | 18:28 |

| Alfonso | can somebody help me | 19:16 |
| Alfonso | i just cant install my video driver | 19:16 |
| sudi | any suggestions about wireless tools krash | 19:16 |
| Freku | yeah i went to kubuntu about half year ago | 19:17 |
| Freku | dont have any complaints | 19:17 |
| Alfonso | i have a Compaq Presario v3418 with Nvidia 6500 GO | 19:17 |
| Freku | struggled in beginning with videodrivers a bit but after that :) | 19:17 |
| krash | sudi: I'm thinking still, but not coming up with anything | 19:17 |
| Nasj | lol @ http://xkcd.com/214/ | 19:18 |
| Nasj | I always end up at lesbiansim i nerotica | 19:18 |

| keyzek | i have g++ and how can i compile program ?? | 19:19 |
| krash | Alfonso: sudo aptitude search nvidia | 19:19 |
| sudi | krash: just installed wireless assitant | 19:19 |
| sudi | can't find it now^ | 19:19 |
| Alfonso | krash: its version 8.04 | 19:19 |
| Alfonso | krash: ive try Envy package and didnt work | 19:19 |
| krash | keyzek: I believe it's g++ -c test.c | 19:20 |
| krash | then it'd be g++ -o test test.o | 19:20 |
| krash | then ./test but don't hold me to that either also been a while | 19:20 |
| Nasj | krash | 19:21 |
| krash | Alfonso that's weird, because my card is either the same one or very similiar and mine works | 19:21 |
| Nasj | you know a bit more bout partitiniong ? | 19:21 |
| krash | Nasj: that I do frequently enough yeah | 19:21 |
| Nasj | ok | 19:21 |
| Nasj | good | 19:21 |
| Nasj | cause i now have like a 80gig windows HDD | 19:22 |
| Nasj | and also a 500gig HDD for storage | 19:22 |
| Alfonso | krash: could it be something with the compiz pakage?? | 19:22 |
| sudi | trying something be right back | 19:22 |
| sudi | exit | 19:22 |
| Nasj | can i partition like 25 - 50 gig of that storage HDD and install kubuntu on that ? | 19:22 |
| krash | Alfonso: I don't believe so, I believe the nvidia module has to be inserted on bootup... | 19:22 |
| krash | Nasj: I'm running on a 35 gig kubuntu partition right now and yes you could | 19:23 |
| krash | Nasj: HOWEVER... your computer boots from the 80 gig hdd right? | 19:24 |
| Nasj | yes | 19:24 |
| krash | You'll need to install the bootloader there... | 19:24 |
| Nasj | oh | 19:24 |
| Nasj | does that mean | 19:24 |
| Nasj | lot of hassle ? | 19:24 |
| Alfonso | krash: it worked almost properly once, with the 3d stuff, if i had 4 desktops it only recognized 2 of them | 19:24 |
| keyzek | krash i have one question where i must save test.c ?? | 19:24 |
| krash | Nasj: unless your bios allows you to choose your boot hdd | 19:25 |
| Nasj | it does | 19:25 |
| Nasj | but then verythime i want to switch i need to change that inm y BIOS ? | 19:25 |
| Alfonso | krash: which driver worked for you?? | 19:25 |
| krash | keyzek: anywhere you want, usually your home directory ie. /home/keyzek/ should make a directory ie (mkdir src) | 19:26 |
| krash | Alfonso: one second I'll see which one I'm using | 19:26 |
| sudi | muhaha i tricked the connection | 19:27 |
| sudi | krash: i found a "solution" | 19:28 |
| krash | Alfonso: Okay to be noted, I'm using the beta version of kubuntu 8.10... I go to system, kmenu,apps,hardware drivers, and nvidia 177 | 19:28 |
| sudi | i used the Wireless Asisstent to connect the network | 19:28 |
| Nasj | i never liked it when solution was within qoutation maks | 19:28 |
| krash | sudi: Nice :) | 19:28 |
| sudi | i guess its bc the wireless "router" has no dhcp | 19:28 |
| sudi | and i was not able to use the knetworkmanager manual config | 19:28 |
| Alfonso | krash: ok ill try it thanx | 19:28 |
| sudi | bc the programm is not installed somehow | 19:29 |
| Nasj | krash | 19:29 |
| genii | Hexagown: Apologies. Today is extremely busy for me here at work and they keep calling me away from the computer. | 19:29 |
| krash | Alfonso: So it should still be in your kde 3.5 somewhere just don't know where offhand... | 19:29 |
| Nasj | (20:24:59) <krash> Nasj: unless your bios allows you to choose your boot hdd | 19:29 |
| Nasj | (20:25:11) * javi (n=javi@226.Red-83-44-155.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net) has joined #kubuntu | 19:29 |
| Nasj | (20:25:11) <Nasj> it does | 19:29 |
| Nasj | (20:25:27) <Nasj> but then verythime i want to switch i need to change that inm y BIOS ? | 19:29 |
| krash | Nasj: Sorry, my bios has an option if i push f8 I can choose what to boot from... | 19:30 |
| Nasj | mine has that too | 19:30 |
| Nasj | but i dont know if linux will show up in there | 19:30 |
| krash | linux won't but if you can boot from the storage hdd then you'll be fine | 19:30 |
| Alfonso | krash: ok, i find it, ill try what you just said. | 19:31 |
| krash | the bootloader will install to the master boot record of the storage hdd | 19:31 |
| krash | Alfonso: Good luck :) | 19:31 |
| GSF1200S | hello | 19:32 |
| sudi | thanks for all your help | 19:32 |
| GSF1200S | does anyone in here know what the package is called for the Kubuntu control panel | 19:32 |
| Nasj | well | 19:32 |
| Alfonso | krash: guess ill need it :) | 19:32 |
| Nasj | the storage hdd doesnt show uo | 19:32 |
| krash | Alfonso: but if you have a couple gigs free on the windows hdd, I'd install it there, and just make a partition on the storage hdd for well storage | 19:32 |
| Nasj | cause there isnt an os installed there ? | 19:32 |
| Nasj | when i press F8 | 19:33 |
| Nasj | i get the option to chose WINDOWS safe mode | 19:33 |
| Nasj | or MS-DOS | 19:33 |
| Nasj | and that stuff | 19:33 |
| Freku | then you pressed F8 too late | 19:33 |
| krash | ahh that's not the bios that's windows itself | 19:33 |
| Alfonso | krash: actually i have 3 partitions, windows, storage, kubuntu | 19:33 |
| krash | Alfonso: I'm sorry that was meant to go to Nasj :P | 19:33 |
| Alfonso | krash: lol | 19:34 |
| Nasj | ill go and see how much i got left | 19:34 |
| Nasj | but | 19:34 |
| genii | GSF1200S: usually kcontrol | 19:34 |
| Nasj | is my windows isntallation save ? | 19:34 |
| Nasj | cause i believe i once fucked up bigtime | 19:35 |
| Nasj | while trying linux | 19:35 |
| Nasj | now | 19:35 |
| Nasj | while trying to partition | 19:35 |
| krash | Nasj: I've never messed up one yet | 19:35 |
| Freku | always have a backup | 19:35 |
| Freku | before major changes | 19:35 |
| Nasj | Freku | 19:35 |
| Freku | yes ? | 19:35 |
| genii | Nasj: Please, watch the language :) | 19:35 |
| Nasj | all my files are on a diff HD | 19:35 |
| krash | Nasj: but Freku gives good advice I'm wreckless :) | 19:35 |
| Nasj | ok genii | 19:35 |
| genii | Nasj: Thanks | 19:36 |
| GSF1200S | genii: kcontrol is for KDE. I installed the kernel and installed kdebase on top of that- I need the kubuntu specific contol center for power management | 19:36 |
| Nasj | krash can my storage hd be used for both linux and windows ? | 19:36 |
| krash | Nasj: Aye :) | 19:37 |
| krash | Nasj: Great thing about linux it can read/write to both, but windows can't :P | 19:37 |
| stdin | GSF1200S: kde-systemsettings | 19:37 |
| Nasj | but my /home folder will be on the OS HDD ? | 19:37 |
| Nasj | yeah | 19:37 |
| Nasj | linux kicks | 19:37 |
| GSF1200S | stdin: thanks alot | 19:37 |
| krash | Nasj: However you're still going to want your linux running on an ext3 or reiserfs partition | 19:37 |
| Nasj | reiserfs ? | 19:38 |
| krash | Nasj: You can make your home folder on your storage hdd | 19:38 |
| Freku | i thought reiserfs is no longer developed . jailtime ? | 19:38 |
| pteague_work | is there any way i can default konqueror to tree view for directories? | 19:38 |
| genii | GSF1200S: I think kde-guidance , or similar | 19:38 |
| Nasj | wont that be a hassle krash ? | 19:38 |
| krash | Nasj: I'm not sure, I believe the partitioner will recognize both hard drives | 19:39 |
| GSF1200S | genii: you and stdin were both right.. thanks! | 19:39 |
| krash | Nasj: should be easier than ya think | 19:39 |
| Nasj | 16 gig free | 19:39 |
| Freku | pff not much | 19:40 |
| Nasj | out of 76 | 19:40 |
| krash | Freku: what? no more reiserfs? | 19:40 |
| Nasj | Freku thats on my OS HDD | 19:40 |
| krash | Nasj: Move stuff to your storage hdd and defrag your os hdd :P | 19:40 |
| Freku | i read somewhere that the creator of reiser is in jail for killing | 19:41 |
| Nasj | O.o | 19:41 |
| Freku | i thought his wife | 19:41 |
| Nasj | krash | 19:41 |
| Nasj | all that usage are fro minstalled programms | 19:41 |
| krash | Nasj: that would be horrible if true, reiserfs4 was looking so promising :P | 19:42 |
| Nasj | ? | 19:43 |
| Nasj | i think you mean Freku | 19:43 |
| genii | It is true but work on reiserfs continues. | 19:43 |

| krash | MHz128: Mine's under tools, find file... | 20:50 |
| spiroo | after that I should install the new kubntu beta, which removed everything, almost. Well, because of the lack of root, dpkg throw an error and I cannot install anything. | 20:51 |

| Coggz | hi all, needing some assistance | 20:52 |
| mijagi | siema | 20:52 |
| spiroo | krash: No it is not a fresh install | 20:52 |
| mijagi | yo, how live? | 20:52 |
| spiroo | krash: I need to restore it without re-install whole kubuntu from cd. | 20:52 |
| Coggz | got a problem with TightVNC, VirtualBox and Windows XP | 20:52 |
| mijagi | who speak polish ?? | 20:52 |
| Coggz | !po | 20:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about po | 20:53 |
| krash | spiroo: can you still use sudo? | 20:53 |
| Coggz | !polish | 20:53 |
| ubottu | Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl | 20:53 |
| spiroo | krash: yes :P | 20:53 |
| mijagi | dzieki | 20:53 |
| krash | spiroo: then you have to sudo adduser root and give it proper privilages & groups | 20:53 |
| fernando__ | coggz wich is your problem? | 20:53 |
| spiroo | krash: Unfortunatly I cannot reinstall anything. Only have the console to work with. I think the adduser command is not available :D Because the package is removed I think, which make adduser possible. | 20:54 |
| Coggz | well, im running Kubuntu 7.10 in a virtual machine on windows xp host. I want the linux machine to connectable from outside, eg elsewhere and for friends to get a taste of linux. | 20:54 |
| krash | spiroo: adduser should never be removed :P | 20:54 |
| genii | spiroo: It's a catch-22 situation. | 20:55 |
| spiroo | krash: I know, BUT when I upgraded it apparantly did without my knowledge. | 20:55 |
| spiroo | genii: What do you mean? | 20:55 |
| krash | spiroo: I believe genii means you're SOL but I could be wrong :P | 20:55 |
| genii | spiroo: Eg: You need root user to make root user. | 20:56 |
| spiroo | lol :D | 20:56 |
| spiroo | Well, I have a root user account. | 20:56 |
| krash | Coggz: You behind a router? | 20:56 |
| genii | spiroo: Can you successfully run sudo with that user? | 20:57 |
| spiroo | The problem as I know it, my account refers to the root account, which does not exist. | 20:57 |
| Coggz | krash: yes, but i have dyndns forwarding my dynamic ip | 20:57 |
| spiroo | genii: Yes, I think so. Problem goes when I am trying to install something in aptitude. | 20:57 |

| genii | spiroo: Does: cat /etc/apsswd|grep root show something like: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash ? | 20:58 |
| krash | Coggz: and what virtual machine you using? vmware, virtualbox? | 20:58 |
| Coggz | krash: yes, thats the plan | 20:58 |
| Coggz | krash: virtual box | 20:59 |
| spiroo | genii: I do not know, I cannot test because I am in Vista for the moment. | 20:59 |
| krash | Coggz: Do you have a port forwareded to the machine for the vnc connection? | 20:59 |

| Coggz | krash: yes, to the virtual machine, or to the internet, I have port 5900 to the internet but nothing else | 21:00 |

| krash | Coggz: port 5900 has to be forwarded <from> the net <to> the ip address of the computer running virtualbox...virtualbox should be able to open port 5900 unless it's used by another program | 21:01 |

| Hexagown | genii, can you send the drivers for DWA547 agan please? | 21:02 |
| Coggz | krash: right, my pc, IP: 192.168.0.6 has the virtual machine, Router is 192.168.0.1 | 21:02 |
| Coggz | krash: i have forwarded the port 5900 to that IP too | 21:02 |
| spiroo | Thats the thing I hate with every single operative system. You cannot do a rollback .... Would be great if you could make every single setting goes to default values and it begins as it was when you installed it at the first time. | 21:02 |
| krash | Coggz: and you have a vnc server running in the ubuntu vm? | 21:03 |

| Coggz | krash: ill just try... how do i connect from linux? | 21:07 |
| genii | Hexagown: The instructions we originally tried http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=490500 from about post3 need also the inf stuff: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=37973&d=1184235806 which rename to zip and extract somewhere that you specify path to ndiswrapper in the other commands from the 3rd post on there | 21:07 |

| krash | Coggz: You shouldn't need java | 21:11 |
| krash | Coggz: I believe the port issue may be a problem, don't hold me to it though, try a different port like 5901 | 21:12 |
| Coggz | krash: well, when i went to connect, it chucked up all kinds of java errors, and i realised 'I don't have java, dammit' | 21:12 |
| Nasj | krash and your mother in law too | 21:12 |
| krash | Nasj: *laughs* naww she left thankfully | 21:13 |
| Coggz | that is the port i am using... but not the one i have forwardedd, doh | 21:13 |

| peer` | does kubuntu 7.04 have a built in utility for mounting .iso files? | 23:27 |
| trappist | !iso | 23:29 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 23:29 |
| peer` | now, when the image is mounted (will be mounting the Kubuntu 8.04 iso to install the OS), would it be viable to reformat the drive with new partitions while running kubuntu 7.04 off of one of those partitions or should I reformat from a LiveCD? Keep in mind I plan on doing a dual boot kubuntu/winxp pro setup. | 23:31 |
| rickest | LiveCD | 23:37 |
| peer` | alright | 23:37 |
| rickest | clear | 23:38 |
| peer` | when doing a dual boot install, should I install winxp or kubuntu furst | 23:38 |
| peer` | *first | 23:38 |
| rickest | peer`: absolutey winxp | 23:38 |
| peer` | alright, and in the winxp partitioner should I format it as two ntfs parts or one ntfs part and one unparted | 23:39 |
| rickest | the latter | 23:39 |
| peer` | alright | 23:39 |
| rickest | you don't really need to format it, just make sure an empty partition exists | 23:39 |
| peer` | yeah | 23:39 |
| peer` | well that's what I was asking | 23:39 |
| rickest | kubuntu will, I believe, recommend ext3 which should be good for you | 23:40 |
| peer` | yeah, it uses ext3 | 23:40 |
| peer` | i installed 7.04 earlier today | 23:40 |
| peer` | before realizing that | 23:40 |
| peer` | 1. I could still need winxp, 2. there's a newer distro | 23:41 |
| rickest | heh. if you ever do linux THEN XP, it can be fixed but you'll need a LiveCD again and a little knowledge on reinstalling grub | 23:41 |
| peer` | oh crap | 23:41 |
| peer` | haha | 23:41 |
