[00:19] can you please help me? ... i saw kubuntu 8.10 beta was out ... can you tell me if the beta will turn into a "stable" after the stable-version is out? ... i thought about "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" every time there are updates [00:20] Hi Mad oz [00:22] hello rod_ [00:24] I'm not sure if I'm in the right IRC to ask about Kubunti drivers etc as I just installed [00:28] rod_: first you have to find out what audio chip that MB has [00:31] * unitypunk needs to figure out why wubi is booting to busy box? [00:32] hi all, question about the latest news on the kubuntu site. Does this mean 3.5.10 will be available for intrepid? [00:33] White_Pelican: no, intrepid will have KDE 4 [00:34] White_Pelican: they say that it's not going to be easy to downgrade to 3.5 [00:35] so sorry [00:35] I'll stick to hardy then :) [00:37] is there a way to get kubuntu to play a fullscreen video at login until the video finishes, then show the desktop? My desktop looks really slow while loading, and Id like a video to cover to welcome me and cover it until its done loading. any ideas?

[02:36] Normally its got an icon at the top right.. and in the menus, its called like hardware-drivers, or somthing. [02:36] top right pf?

[02:39] from here http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=176776 [02:39] unitypunk, so it seems it wants the nvidia-glx package for your card. I would try installing it from the termial with the following 2 commands. [02:39] 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' then 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx' [02:42] craugggney the link to download janusvm is a dead link.. it appears not to be [02:42] mmm i type well dont i? [02:44] Firefox can't find the server at janusvm.peertech.org. [02:45] http://peertech.org/ also nothing [02:45] I think thers some server issues going on. [02:45] dr_willis: http://pastebin.com/m52aa460 [02:45] and june 2007 is a long time ago software wise [02:45] is what happened after upgrade [02:46] unitypunk, looks like your package manager is a tad 'confused' about somting getting half way installed.. Not sur what the best way to get it back in line would be. [02:47] glah [02:47] could try the various 'force' options to apt-get [02:47] but ive rarely ever had to do that [02:47] idk how to force something [02:47] apt-get remove -force nvidia-glx [02:47] perhaps [02:48] !apt-geyt [02:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-geyt [02:48] !apt-get [02:48] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [02:48] The line of interest is - "1 not fully installed or removed." [02:48] so either it needs to be forced to remove, or forced to install.. :) [02:49] the following 'might' get it going.. it might mess things up badly also --> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:50] yerr... [02:50] OR ----> sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx [02:51] Ive not had to 'fix' apt very much. so not sure whats the best way to fix this issue is.. Im checking the forums where i searched for 'not fully installed or removed' and found several hits/tips [02:54] maybe it is stuck? [02:54] i try sudo dpkg --configure -a [02:54] sometimes when its stuck [02:55] well its not 'not configured' it seems to be half installed.. [02:55] byt thats another tio try command. :) [02:56] gah [02:56] I don't think you can force apt-get. You'd have to use dpkg directly to force things. [02:57] i can force it to reinstall [02:57] force it to remove, then reinstall [02:57] Try "apt-get -f install" [02:58] same thing [02:58] what 'same thing' [02:58] whats the error? [02:58] subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 [02:59] apt-get -f remove [02:59] perhaps? [03:01] -f means fix, not force. [03:01] marked it for reinstalation [03:01] annd it went through [03:01] all gravy like.. [03:06] thne [03:13] i've got a strange problem with the panels at kubuntu 8.10 [03:13] !intrepid [03:13] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion. Kubuntu Intrepid will have KDE 4 as the default Desktop Environment - see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidVersion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [03:13] currently everything is removed from it (except the current applications) [03:13] add new plasmids back to it. [03:13] when i'll add the K-menu again to it, that will center and cover everything. [03:14] then unlock the panel with that cashew at the side. and move them around. [03:14] and thats the extent of my kde4 knowledge..:) i dont use it much. [03:14] yeah you can add take away anything you like [03:15] whehe, indeed. that should work normaly (i'll guess, now i'd see the option) [03:16] but i can move the K-menu only up and down the panel, and the panel is at the bottom of my screen. [03:17] but anyhow. needs all beta software to be discussed in #ubuntu+1? or is there a special kubuntu beta channel (like #kubuntu+1?)? [03:18] only ubuntu+1 i think [03:36] Can anyone help me with an Xserver Issue? === rita_ is now known as iudfsdv === iudfsdv is now known as erjlfb [03:40] When I try to update my video driver (ATI) I get an error while running the auto installer. X Server Not Found [03:46] 'auto installer' ? what auto-installer? [04:02] anyone know what the default version of xorg in intrepid is ? [04:04] 7.4 [04:05] yeah that seems correct [04:05] just trying to find why the ati driver is hit and miss and only randomly works [04:06] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorg [04:07] And thats different fromhow ati drivers have been for the last few years - how exactly Linux_Galore ? :) [04:12] dr_willis: well when I activate the driver then logout /restart X it either leaves me at a blank screen then i force a shutdown (use the off button) and reboot into recovery mode then use the OSS radeon driver and Im fine, but sometimes it takes and the ati driver works [04:13] Linux_Galore, i recall a bug with the ati drivers ages ago where if i loged out of X it would bivce me a black screen. I had to edit the gdm/kdm configs and enable the 'always resstart X server' option [04:14] it affected just the fglrx driver, not the radeon driver. [04:14] when I login after the recovery mode swaps me back to the open radeon driver I see a notice regarding settingsmanager crashing [04:14] dr_willis: this is the new driver [04:14] Try booting without using GDM/KDm and see if you can 'startx' and quit and get back to a normal screen/start X again.. [04:15] It may be the same issue/bug poping up again,,, or a totally new bug [04:15] it wouldent hurt to enble the 'always restart X server' setting i imagine [04:15] dr_willis: you mean do a standard Xinit boot and see if I can get a raw X session ? [04:16] dr_willis: what I fond amusing is that there isnt a captcha script to make sure the desktop has actually started, if not drop you to a vga mode [04:16] yea.. or just disable the kdm/gem service.. and see if 'startx' works fine. [04:17] On mylaptop i did that boot to login: use startx for a while till i researched the other fix's [04:17] this was on a x200m video card [04:18] ok Im going to enable the ati driver then do a none kdm/gdm login [04:18] bbl [04:18] Hi there. I am having trouble with my DVD drives. I am getting errors from K3B, xine, and Kaffeine. Nothing is working. Can someone help me with my setup? TIA [04:19] tjhess: what errors are you getting? [04:20] from xine: There is no input plugin available to handle "dvd:/" [04:21] from xine: Maybe you don't have enough rights for this or source doesn't contain data (eg disc not in drive) (dev/dvd) [04:21] could be the /dev/dvd link is incorrect also [04:21] tjhess: does /dev/dvd exist? ls /dev/dvd in konsole [04:21] can k3b burn disks? [04:22] tjhess: sorry, ls -l /dev/dvd [04:22] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-10-17 12:12 /dev/dvd -> scd0 [04:23] anyone knows how to disable the annoying auto scrolling between deskstops by moving the mouse cursor??? [04:23] anyone knows how to disable the annoying auto scrolling between deskstops WHEN moving the mouse cursor??? [04:23] Would you like to see my fstab entry? [04:24] tjhess, if youre a female I would like to see your fstab entry :-) [04:25] tjhess: you say xine, you;re using xine-ui or is that output from kaffeine? [04:25] k [04:26] that's xine [04:27] wat is this this is my 1st time here? [04:27] Kaffeine: [04:27] The source can't be read. [04:27] Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd) [04:27] Kaffeine: No plugin found to handle this resource (dvd://) [04:27] Dr_Willis, are you there? [04:27] huh? [04:27] Kaffeine: [04:27] 10:26:47 PM: xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd://] [04:27] 10:26:47 PM: xine: input plugin cannot open MRL [dvd://] [04:27] 10:26:44 PM: xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator [04:27] wat is this? [04:27] tjhess: do you have libdvdcss installed? [04:28] !xine [04:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine [04:28] !dvd [04:28] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [04:28] Hmm> [04:28] libdvdcss2, version 1.2.9-2medibuntu4 [04:28] installed [04:28] reinstalled [04:28] tjhess: ok [04:29] mixed1234, thats a kde/pager setting last i looked.. I have it set where it auto scrolls if i am dragging a window [04:29] Dr_willis, did I wake you? My apologies! In between, do you know how to disable the annoying auto scrolling between deskstops WHEN moving the mouse cursor??? [04:29] Im not in kde right now - so cant look. [04:30] dr_willis, if I take my mouse cursor and I just scroll the pointer down without clicking on anything the desktop changes automatically to the next one, i have been unable to fix that [04:31] bottom of the screen goes to the next desktop? [04:31] tjhess: in kaffeine, if you edit the xine engine parameters, chand the dvd media device to scd0 and see if that works. [04:31] dr_willis, thanks anyway, KDE screwed up my distro good this time, I can't shutdown my machine if i'm in gnome, i have to exit out of gnome first [04:31] chand/change [04:31] MrKennie: trying that now [04:32] dr_willis, precisely, if I go past the screen on one deskstop it'll automatically take me to the next deskstop, this happened after I installed compiz [04:32] dr_willis, good idea! just disable compiz all together, goodbye eye candy! [04:32] mixed1234, there ya go.. its a compiz setting i imagine. [04:32] proberly just a plugin you need to disable [04:33] MrKennie: Same errors [04:33] The source can't be read. [04:33] Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/scd0) [04:33] dr_willis, I tried every setting imaginable in compiz but i'll give it a try either way, thanks! [04:33] hm [04:34] tjhess: are you able to browse the dvd using konqueror or dolphin? [04:34] yes [04:34] MrKennie: yes [04:35] tjhess: can you see which device you are browsing at the time? [04:35] eg: /media/scd0 [04:35] well disabling kdm/gdm in intrepid then starting Xorg still crashes with the ati driver [04:35] MrKennie: system:/media/scd1/ [04:36] tjhess: ah, so you need to change from scd0 to scd1 [04:36] Have two DVD writers (DVD+R, DVD+-R) [04:36] Linux_Galore, bummer.. [04:36] dr_willis: I cant even do the old ctrl+alt+backspace get out of jail [04:36] MrKennie: Aha! Trying this out. [04:38] MrKennie: It plays now! Checking K3B out now. [04:39] MrKennie: Thanks for getting Kaffeine working!!! [04:39] tjhess: great! np. [04:41] k3b should automagically recognise any writers you have. I've only ever had 1 recorder at a time, though. [04:42] kb3 has a setup tool/feture that i think rescans [04:42] dr_willis, you dont use KDE? You use gnome then? [04:43] Im not using either at this time. :) [04:43] dr_willis, what do you normally prefer to use if I may know? [04:43] The machine behind me has linux on it but its updating [04:43] I use whatever i feel like at the time. Been using Jwm+Rox-Filer lately [04:43] dr_willis, yes, the kernel was updated to *.21 version [04:45] I keep trying diff desktops and wms but seem to end up back with kde3 everytime [04:46] MrKennie: K3B is not working. [04:46] MrKennie: Error is - K3b was unable to mount medium ArrestedDevelopment (Video DVD) in device ATAPI - DVD+RW 4X4X12 [04:46] tjhess: if you go to settings -> configure k3b [04:47] oh wait, what are you trying to do? [04:47] Rip DVD [04:47] Rip to disk [04:48] I just use dvd::rip for that. :) [04:48] or k9copy [04:51] tjhess: well, you can check the k3b settings. Under media it should show all read-only and writable devices you have [04:52] MrKennie/dr_willie: K9copy is copying now to iso file [04:52] But K3b still isn't working [04:53] is there a way i can just put a bash right on the taskbar.. [04:53] like [04:53] instead of a search [04:53] a line to console. [04:53] MrKennie/dr_willie: thanks for the help. I'll have to take care of K3b another time. Much thanks again. [04:54] unitypunk: konsole you mean? [04:55] yeah [04:55] unitypunk: you can drag it from the menu to whereever you want it [04:55] nooo [04:55] i mean like.. [04:55] bah.. [04:55] i cant think of how to explain. [04:57] i want a line on my task bar to be a shell [04:58] Ive seen 'command line' applets befor [04:58] or use katapult [04:58] yeah [04:58] a commandline applet [04:58] or use yakuake [04:59] tah, yakuake is cool [04:59] yah* [05:00] there is a run command applet but not sure if that's what you want [05:01] lag [05:01] like.. [05:01] if i need to kill a process [05:01] i dont wanna open a konsole [05:02] just wanna type kill etc in a box on the taskbar [05:03] hello there. can anyone tell me if its possible to open docx files on openoffice3? [05:04] what kind of process? [05:04] docx is the new ms office format right? [05:04] openoffice3 is supposed to be able to open docx [05:04] but you can still open docx with older versions [05:04] with less compatibility [05:04] yippee! thanks yousef! :) ooo is cool very cool! [05:05] np [05:07] make an icon to the 'xkill' command :) [05:08] if its just a window you want to kill [05:08] alt+ctrl+escape [05:13] Hello [05:16] is this an appropiate place to ask a kubuntu support question? [05:17] Yes [05:18] Thanks. I was using kubuntu 8.04 Hardy (KDE4 remix), and just used the distro upgrade feature to upgrade to 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Beta. It all seemed to go well, but now I cannot log in. [05:19] I can get to the login screen, but logging into KDE takes me to the splash screen and only three of the icons load and then the screne just goes blank and returns to the login screen [05:19] try logging in at the console and see what happens? [05:19] could be a kde setting issue.. or a login issue. [05:19] sounds like its a kde/settings issue from your description [05:19] ah, but likewise the failsafe login just blanks myscreen for a moment abut returns to the login [05:19] thanks, i'm not expecting the exact answer, just where i might be able to look [05:20] I would test by making a new user, see if they can login via kdm. [05:20] if so.. then that imples that somthing with the old users settings are causing an issue [05:20] thanks i'll try that [05:21] how would I create a new user if I cannot get in, i feel a bit catch 22 [05:22] see if you can login at the console.... [05:23] okay, i'll go look up how to create a new user in the console [05:23] sudo adduser username [05:23] thank you [05:25] is that username a required field where i put the namer afterwards or do i substitute that? [05:25] it asks a lot of silly questions youjust hit enter [05:25] adduser billgates [05:25] :) [05:25] :D [05:59] hi all [05:59] i ahve a spiderman cd how can i install it === d is now known as Guest84198 [06:03] If you mean you have a 'windows game' you wish to try to run under linux, you would do so using 'wine' [06:03] !wine [06:03] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [06:22] Can the Ubuntu Educational Addon cd be used with Kubuntu or is Gnome specific? [06:28] You could always install gnome if you want under kubuntu - if it needs tnome [06:28] In theory - the packages should grab any needed dependencies when they install [06:30] im just asking because it said "Ubuntu"..not Gnome or KDE....Ubuntu has become almost generic these days.....heh. [06:30] i mean the term itself...not the Distro... [06:31] I guess the only way to truly find out is...DIY [06:31] :) [06:32] so...let me get this straight...KDE4 variant of Kubuntu has no updates from canonical? [06:33] No 'official' I gather.. [06:33] I heard that from one of my buddies on the forum (I am a member of the beginner team of UF) [06:33] but then ya get into whats community supported vs official, vs lts. vs.. whatever.. :) [06:35] community support only kinda made me wonder about the updates and stuff..... [06:36] Ive gotten where i just use whats out.. and not worry about it. :) In 6mo there will be a new releae and all sorts of new toys [06:37] true [06:37] and its not like i should be scared..as i did do the alpha/beta testing.... [06:37] LOL [06:40] I just dont find kde4 that useabla at this time.. and its amazingly sluggish on my laptop [06:45] yeah someone else said that [06:49] And i am gettting constant 'video garbage' when the menus pop up and other quirks. [06:49] So for now.. Im sticking with m jwm+rox-filer [06:55] i have an ubuntu related question(asking because i got no responce on that channel) i tried to install drivers from the ati website because they were newer than those offered on synaptic but after i did that i did an update wich updated my kernel and upon reboot i got a completely yellow display(with working compiz) and was unable to reverse it so i formatted. now im starting anew and was wandering if one of you might walk me through it so i dont hose [06:56] version 8.04 [06:57] I would try to get things working without using the ones from the ati web site. [06:58] My 'prefered' order to try the things are 'hardware-manager/repos' then 'envyng' then if all else fails - the ones from ati/nvidia [07:00] everything else does fail. for the brief time between when i loaded them to when i rebooted alot of my flickering broken video etc were fixed which was not the case under restricted driver install. doesnt symantec just package the same drive as is posted on ati? === danilo is now known as danilo_ === danilo_ is now known as danilo__ [07:03] the version in the repos - will tend to be a little bit older then the ones from ati === danilo__ is now known as k0rvux [07:03] but the ones fro ati . normally have to be compiled/installed for each new kernel update - if you use them [07:04] envyng - i hear is not quite up to date as the ones from ati.. but it automates it better [07:04] how does ubuntu package them so such isnt necessary so i might do the same [07:06] i got flamed the first time i started linux for using envy [07:07] acee12345: how long did you wait in #ubuntu before you gave up? [07:08] first post was 4 hrs ago last one was 12 minutes [07:08] acee12345: yeah, those guys just didnt know....did you try posting on the forums as well? [07:09] * Robb_M isnt trying to steer you away...just seeing what routes you took without results.... [07:09] not yet [07:09] problem with nvidia and ati drivers.. are that often theres issues with specific cards, and often issues with different versions. [07:10] some cards/setups just seem to have issues :( [07:10] i know that ive had issues with my memory card reader since i started ubuntu.... [07:10] not that this really relates to you...it kinda does..but yeah... [07:10] i understand that it worked great untill i updated my kernel [07:10] anyone know how to make your display picture show up to others in kopete? I selected avatar but not showing to others [07:10] Ive had some issues with built-in-non-usb laptop-media-card readers.. thats often due to the varity of the readers. [07:10] i think its more kernel relate....yeah....... [07:11] ^ dr_willis I totally agree with that statement.... [07:11] Getting close enought now - you may want to 'try' 8.10 release. [07:11] is there a way to turn off the kernel update [07:11] It proberly has newer drivers for the cards [07:11] 8.10 is insanely stable ATM [07:12] i may giive it a go the drivers were release through ati 4 days ago [07:12] acee12345: you might be able to force the current version of kernel to stay the same...with pinning [07:12] ? [07:12] !pinning [07:12] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [07:13] it doesnt let the version update as far as i know....it just ignores future versions.... [07:13] any major draw backs to not update a kernel often? [07:13] you pin that version..... [07:14] acee12345: security holes..... [07:14] acee12345: ^ biggie [07:14] so i just need to be sure i reinstall the xorg every time i update the kenel [07:14] acee12345: i would update the kernel often if i were you, even if the component doesnt work...it MIGHT in the future..so...update as often as possible..... [07:14] untill its released through apt-get [07:15] * Robb_M nods...i think thats a safe way to go.... [07:16] ok, any special procedures to manul install of drivers [07:16] i havent installed restricted yet, running on mesa [07:16] not that im aware of [07:17] * Robb_M points to the other guys...unless they have something i dont [07:18] i notice that ati doesnt support xorg 7.4 how does 8.10 get around that [07:18] i havent been playing around with 8.10 so i couldnt tell you.... [07:18] I believe we are steering away from xorg in the future..... [07:19] oh, what will replace it?nvidia? [07:19] I run 8.10 kubuntu. solid stable for me here. i just cannot get kopete to display my picture to other contacts..is my only problem [07:20] acee12345: im not sure actually....looking it up though :) [07:23] * Robb_M shrugs [07:23] all attempts fail [07:24] (google doesnt know) [07:24] i looked too, nothin [07:24] brother is demanding internet so i must resign my computer. thank you for your help [07:25] thank you to dr_willis [07:26] sure acee12345 === user_ is now known as Zantetsuken === Zantetsuken is now known as Gadoken [07:39] query: if I install *buntu 8.10 beta, will I be able to cleanly upgrade to *buntu 8.10 come Oct. 30? [07:40] nah, your machine will catch fire [07:40] damn I knew it! [07:40] * baudthief further pretends to know what he's doing [07:40] Of course you can [07:40] I just don't feel like reinstalling every 6 months, but 8.10 Kubuntu has stuff I want [07:41] I perfer to reinstall every 6 mo. :) [07:41] ok thank you guys [07:41] GADOKEN! [07:41] anyone on the Kubuntu beta presently? [07:42] BANKAI! [07:42] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw === Gadoken is now known as FALCON_PAUUNCH [07:47] gah, viewing gadoken's link crashed my X lol [07:47] ha [07:47] I was wondering what happened there [07:47] did you get to see it? [07:48] <---Gadoken :) [07:48] nah it openned in Konqueror, trying it in firefox now :P [07:48] freakin konqueror [07:48] same [07:48] the khtml crashes for some reason === FALCON_PAUUNCH is now known as FALCON_PAUUUUUNC === FALCON_PAUUUUUNC is now known as FALCON_PAUUUUNCH [07:51] haha [07:51] biggest explosion ever :P [07:51] ha [07:51] bit much don't you think [07:52] downloading the beta ^__^ [07:53] god dammit, I hate how youtube is flooded with AMVs [07:54] heh [07:54] cultural thing [07:54] man KDE4 is fricken' sexy imo [07:54] I want my dang multimedia button support [07:54] unsure about installing beta though [07:55] kde4 is terrible :P [07:55] I must respectfully disagree [07:55] and I think 8.10 is only KDE4? [07:55] здрасти има ли българи на линия в този ранен час [07:56] of course you could install KDE3 in an alternate user session, but meh [07:56] I manually installed it yesterday, I much preferred kde3.5 w/compiz fusion :\ [07:56] I like both to be honest, just lately have a preference for the one [07:56] vkep4eto: /join #ubuntu-bg [07:57] I originally installed 8.04 with KDE3 tbh :P [07:57] same :P [07:57] hey [07:57] hi [07:57] I guess it depends what you use it for, I've got a dual head setup at home, and couldnt for the life of me figure out how to add an external taskbar to the second screen under KDE4, all the options I'm used to have changed [07:57] its like moving from XP to vista :P [07:58] *gasp* [07:58] Hi! I can't change names of shortcuts on the Desktop. [07:58] I find kde4 at this time to be unbearably sluggish on my laptop. [07:58] you can't just add another task bar and drag it over? [07:58] dr_willis: agrteed [07:58] FALCON_PAUUUUNCH: Couldnt find teh option, only "add a widget" [07:58] nothing about external taskbars etc [07:58] my laptop is completely compatible, its just as fast (if not faster) [07:58] In terminal, when I type ls -l, it shows with modified names, but on the Desktop the are still with old names. [07:58] but I have an intel chipset [07:59] tamara: wow, thats surprisingly awkward :P [07:59] maybe 8.10 baud [07:59] I got an nvidia card. and got constant video glitzes under kde4 - ive not tried it on the desktop box yet. [07:59] maybe, I left it installed anyway, but I select kde3.5 in the session manager before logging in, I'm sure it'd improve alot after some time [07:59] even with the nvidya drivers? [07:59] don't really know what to search for to fix this issue. When trying to play a video off my server on my laptop it will download the video before playing. Is there a way to just stream the video off the server? [07:59] FALCON_PAUUUUNCH, yes with the nvidia drivers. [08:00] Before this I removed entirely my home folder (but got another one with adduser) [08:00] hm that sucks [08:00] INIT_7: yeah, you can find "SMB transport" under package transfers like synaptic that work with VLC [08:00] I love the WM in KDE 4, sexeh stuff [08:00] INIT_7, several ways to do it.. if its a samba server, mount the shares so they appear as local directroies - is one way [08:00] *package managers [08:00] fusesmb - is handy - it can mount the while windows shares/network to one directory you can browse [08:01] I will try that dr_willis because I know how to mount smb shares [08:01] thanks [08:01] hum never tried that [08:01] VLC can't do it automagically? [08:02] apparently not [08:02] it caches the whole file locally before playing [08:02] huh interesting [08:02] I fixed it by installing a plugin a while ago, but I cant for the life of me remember what it was called :P [08:02] never tried tbh, never needed to [08:03] note to self [08:04] wow, I really need to poop, but thers no TP to be found in this bathroom at work [08:04] lol [08:04] should I like, poop first and work out the TP later? [08:04] :P [08:05] sandpaper/paper towels are an option if available [08:05] perhaps the janitor's head [08:05] hmm, I could walk to the service station up the road and buy TP, but then my intentions would be obvious [08:06] curses. [08:06] haha [08:06] "This gentleman is obviously about to crap his pants...look at all this toilet paper." [08:06] "Sir, you sicken me." [08:06] lol [08:07] where do you live, Australia? [08:07] yep :P [08:07] Sydney [08:07] 12AM here in US [08:07] heh [08:07] service station gave it away :D [08:07] was gonna say servo :P [08:08] "service station" sounds like a brothel [08:08] heh [08:08] how much is gas in Aussie dollars btw?

I really dislike how gnome/kde file manager does the whole browsing shares stuff.. causes a lot of little issues [08:10] yeah, does kde4 fix any of that [08:11] what do you mean? [08:11] its like Windows [08:11] only in windows most apps recognise UNC paths heh [08:12] man you guys pay like $6 for gas [08:12] that's crazy....er, Kubuntu....tech stuff...et cet I'm on topic o_O [08:12] Gas is Just under $3 us a Gallon here. [08:12] in US? [08:12] US yes [08:13] haha holy crap, 1 gallon = 3.78 litres [08:13] we're getting screwed [08:13] you are getting hosed yeah [08:13] I mean err, wow KDE4 sucks [08:13] haha [08:13] hosed as much as the data pipelines...in my handy KDE4 window manager! yeah! [08:14] I'd like to insert my flashdisk, and mount it [08:14] ...if you know what I mean [08:15] whoa it hapepnned automatically [08:15] I didnt even know USB worked on this install! [08:15] * baudthief <3 kubuntu [08:15] Seriously, please take the non support chatter to #kubuntu-offtopic [08:16] * baudthief goes away [08:16] Juss, we are having a D e s k t o p R e l o v e l u t i o n here [08:16] * dr_willis goes back to testing out 8.10 [08:16] meh, I got my question answered [08:16] later [08:23] hey, I should be embarrassed to ask this but, I'm thinking of getting a dell, and using the video card from this PC. It comes with an integrated video card. Can I later add in a pci card? In general (?) and particularly will ubuntu of course. Sorry, I know nothing about integrated video cards :( === george_ is now known as wesleyp [08:23] *with ubuntu [08:23] Depends on what the motherboard supports. [08:23] Hey all. I am trying to copy and paste a folder over one in my USR dir, how do I do this with root privledges? [08:24] I would hope any new machine would have a PCI-Express slot free for video card upgrades [08:24] dr_willis , grr i thought u might say that heh [08:24] wesleyp, best to use the shell. and the sudo command. [08:24] right so if it has pci express.. then [08:24] what sudo copy /home/file /usr/file > [08:24] ? [08:24] wesleyp, or cheat like i do.. install mc, then run 'sudo mc' and that way you got a handy file manager you can run as root. :) [08:24] it would probably be doable right? [08:24] nice i'll do that [08:25] what would you do disable the integrated via software [08:25] ? [08:25] the command to copy is 'cp' and you will need to use some artuments to do it recursively [08:25] I have been so removed from the whole hardware and gaming world heh [08:25] daleach, yea. I would be SURE to check the machines and be sure it has a 'pci-express slot' avail for upgrades [08:25] daleach: i like your style. 'hard core drinker' :) [08:27] Wish I had a mod to post my pc info to channel but Im running Dual Core E2180 2.0Ghz, 4 gigs of ram and two 8600 SLI mode [08:27] which runs everything I throw at it currently [08:27] I'm a programmer who doesn't know about these hardware advancements :-\ [08:27] hmm [08:28] why cant i access the drive wubi is installed on [08:28] btw wesleyp yeah u can prob do .. it through the gui [08:28] in kde right? there's a way to go admin mode or something i forgot [08:28] where I can get security updates ? [08:29] there no ubuntu binary for MC daleach? [08:29] i'm in blackbox now my kwin broke does anyone knwo about this one? [08:29] i wasn't the one who recommended mc :) [08:29] err sorry [08:29] dr_willis: [08:30] vkep4eto if you do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade you should be good...if your sources file is left the way it was or are you doing stuff more complicated? [08:31] vk left [08:31] hah mc u guys meant midnight commander? [08:32] didn't realize it [08:32] mc is in the repos [08:32] Yes. :) [08:32] and yes [08:32] yeah [08:32] mc = midnioght commander [08:32] i was just going ot say [08:32] its there [08:32] one more thing, Id like to upgrade to KDE4 from KDE3 but last time I did that, it gave me double menus in my Kicker. So I am assuming I have to upgrade then remove KDE3? [08:32] sudo apt-get install mc [08:32] u mean 3->4? [08:32] gonna have to add some, u know which repos? [08:32] if u do [08:32] yeah kde3 upgraded to 4 [08:33] sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade [08:33] id' imagine [08:33] u'd be able to see mc [08:33] how long ago did u install ubuntu? [08:33] mc + screen handy. :) [08:33] dr_willis he shoudl see mc no problem right? like we can? [08:33] !info mc [08:33] mc (source: mc): midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-8ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2059 kB, installed size 5944 kB [08:33] Its in universe repo. [08:34] k [08:34] ok so, if I have a pci express slot i should be good you guys think? hehe [08:35] its funny because, [08:35] whats the shell command for Dolphin? [08:35] i wonder if i order the video card [08:35] daleach: what was your full questions? as im running dual pci express cards [08:36] btw dolphin [08:36] opens it [08:36] well so, i'm thinking of getting hits pc with integrated [08:36] *if* it has a pci express slot i'm sure it does i can prob find that out though in the spec ithink [08:37] anyway, can i put one in and overide (turn off completely) the integrated gpu? [08:37] at the Operating system level i g uess [08:37] its funny I think the system i'm getting there's an option for 2 cards, prob using same motherboard WITH the integrated gpu anyway hah [08:38] how do you get the free space listed on a drive, ls does not do it? [08:39] yeah you can [08:39] well it deponds on the bios some you can, you can only limit the rma you are giving it [08:39] ram even [08:39] Why not just buy a mobo without integrated graphics, much better in the long run [08:40] Plus you can build it yourself at a cheaper cost [08:40] Nyquist333, 'df' command [08:41] use newegg.com and if you would like you can tell me what you want and i can set you up a shopping cart with compatible hardware and then email you the shopping cart so you can review it [08:47] Nyquist333 u want to do df -h [08:47] for human [08:47] in megabytes [08:48] heh wesleyp thanks for the offer [08:48] one of the reasons i'm leaning towards dell is i need windows also :-\ [08:48] a real legal version etc [08:48] and its lookin like ap retty good deal [08:48] 699 2 quad core hah [08:49] 4 gigs in 2 dimm [08:50] its funny one of the things prompting this is my windows xp box finally since 2003 got a virus.. (i run dual boot) i have some .net programming to do, and I have no time to filter through my hard drive now, i guess i could buy another hard drive and use that but i don't want to reinstall a windows don't have a disk etc.. [08:50] thats not bad daleach if it includes windows [08:50] yeah right? [08:50] that's what i was thinking [08:51] they have such a strong deal with windows usually [08:51] i think it gets cheaper to build ur own with higher models [08:51] yeah doesnt sound too bad, for that price you could get an sli rig and more hard drive space but in turn ur getting a 200 dollar os [08:51] they don't have good grpahics cards often etc.. and i don't need a better powr supply etc.. [08:51] not really getting it for gaming.. i'll get some other stuff for that again eventually [08:52] heh [08:52] 500 gb hard drive space will be enough for me for now [08:52] with that price u can get quad proc, good pci express video card, 750 gig HD 4 gigs of ram and 750w ps [08:52] possibly a second video card [08:53] hah [08:53] cool [08:53] im about to spend 3k to upgrade this box of mine [08:53] hah nice [08:53] you working or a kid or wha? [08:53] I guess you work right? [08:54] its not bad as it is but i was to SLI 3 video cards and get a quad 3ghz proc at 120w [08:54] I figure since I am in the field, etc... one of these days i'll get some super duper alienware or build one myself etc.. [08:54] my brother got an alienware, we REALLY like it, its pretty sweet actually [08:55] but i am waiting 30 days to see if a new socket is gonna be released or not, theres news of more powerful processors over a new socket comming out dont know if its true or not, if it is i'll buy a new mobo in the base socket class untill more powerful come out [08:55] alienware is over rated inless ur getting an aw laptop [08:55] heh, you're a hardcore enthusiast that's cool heh [08:56] you cant beat the laptops but as far as desktops go, for the price you can build a better machine and even water cool it if ur willing to risk the buck [08:56] yeah laptops are always another story [08:56] yeah [08:56] I had a bunch of friends at school [08:56] that did a whole bunch of weird stuff [08:56] with controls for cooling and lighting and stuff [08:56] i dont personally like em because when you pack that much hardware in that small frame your giving up somthing, be it power, performance, cooling [08:56] kind of fun [08:57] your giving something up, now for work, and my wife i have a couple of lap tops beyond using mine for work i dont use it [08:58] my brother is a big time programmer who gets a new laptop every 6 months or so, i just buy his hand me downs [08:59] haha [08:59] cool [08:59] whats the command to make a .bin executable chmod +x or something? [08:59] yeah [08:59] sudo [08:59] maybe [08:59] k [08:59] depends if u need nah [08:59] don't do sudo [08:59] whoops [08:59] heh [08:59] try without [09:00] what are u installing that's a .bin? should be careful most things should be like untar and ./configure, make, make install in the *nix environment i'd think if ur not using apt that is [09:01] heres the problem its a .bin file, i just did chmod +x to make it executable and it ran kate when i clicked it [09:01] yeah u have to do [09:01] it from the shell is easiest [09:01] u have ot type [09:01] Its an open source mmorpg game 300 megs in size [09:01] ./ [09:01] infront [09:01] of the file name (with the .bin at the end) [09:01] there we go [09:01] after u chmod it [09:01] that did it [09:02] yeah when u don't do ./ [09:02] it looks in the $PATH variable type "echo $PATH" to see your path [09:02] and . isn't in it, you could put it there but that would be BADDDD [09:02] old security threat and well it'd probably just break things in your case heh [09:03] actually it still is a security threat heh [09:03] but yeah that's why you need to do that [09:03] nice i'll remember that [09:03] heh k [09:03] actually for the games to [09:03] echo $PATH [09:03] im a nix noob, I mean i have used it off and on since i was 13, and im 26 now [09:03] u shoudl write it down [09:03] werd [09:03] i started 16 [09:03] and i'm 25 [09:04] so for a while I just never retained anything and back then it all seemed like a struggle to do anything, even get drivers and my network card working [09:04] but i've done programming etc, i work in the field and stuff so yeah [09:04] exactly [09:04] and like i've actually learned and forgot things a bunch of times to [09:04] that happens [09:04] but you get better, and things start to make more intuitive sense i guess [09:05] and these days you don't even need to be as much of an expert i guess [09:06] lol no you dont [09:06] its all plug and play now [09:06] which I like [09:06] and K/Ubuntu is my fav distro yet [09:07] though one thing I miss is bitchx [09:07] !bitchx [09:07] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [09:07] lol gonna download it [09:07] bitchx was irc right?

[12:48] I have a suspicion that it is because of the HW RF Kill message that shows up in dmesg [12:49] There is a wireless switch with Fn+F2, but kubuntu doesn't seem to recognize that [12:50] normally if the module gets loaded.. tha twill turn on the wireless card [12:50] or so it does on my 3 laptops [12:50] I found ebox for that porpose, but I have DNS trouble wirh ebox, cause I can not Create the DNS Settings needed for M$-clients.

[14:26] this is the cd crashing [14:26] DarthFrog: I have been screwing around with the wireless drivers that I had set up fine in Ubuntu and Kubuntu with KDE 3.5 [14:28] What irks me the most, is that I have done this every time I re-install and it goes fine. But I am trying out KDE 4.1 and now it just won't work [14:28] kcg: Install smartmontools and check the drive's health. [14:28] Oh, it's the CD. Hmm. [14:28] And why are new application not put in the new funky menu? [14:28] i have tried burning two cds already [14:29] kcg: Well, either download a new ISO image and check the MD5sum.

Intrepid is the current beta. [14:34] werenerd: I don't know the net5211. My Atheros NIC uses the ath_pci driver. [14:34] DarthFrog: I am sorry, I have hardy. I wasn't paying attention [14:35] I have to blacklist that driver [14:35] The ath_pci driver? [14:35] I just downloaded it yesterday from the kubuntu homepage [14:36] Also, is there a way that I can configure Backspace key to work in the same way, as it does in windows, taking me to the previous page on firefox?

[14:37] the native driver does not work for me [14:37] never has [14:39] this willuongo, i will give it a try [14:39] *thanks [14:40] Well, personally, this is the way I'd approach it. Given that there is a new version of Kubuntu coming out in the near future, I'd download and burn a CD of the latest beta. Then boot into the Live CD from that and see if the wireless NIC works with the latest & greatest. [14:40] kcg: No problem [14:40] assuming the wireless card dosetn need some propriparty drivers [14:41] dr_willis: It's an Atheros card. [14:42] That means very little to me.

I use the regular Ubuntu networkmanager app. I'm running Intrepid beta. [14:48] DarthFrog: really? you don't use the kde 3.5 version? [14:49] werenerd: Nope. KDE 4.1.2 [14:50] I don't know if KDE 3.5 is even available in Intrepid. I think they've left it behind. [14:50] can you install network-manager-gnome and try it? I'm presuming that ndiswrapper is working and loading your driver for you. [14:51] well, I am going to wipe this and start over. Back with 3.5 [14:51] I'll check back later [14:56] !find ace-acpi [14:56] 'find' is disabled [14:56] :( [14:57] hi [14:58] Where could i find acer-acpi ? [14:58] and also acerwificontroller? [14:59] could I have a link to the latest downloadable iso of kubuntu intrepid? [15:14] kubuntu-8.10-beta-desktop-i386 produces unusably huge text when i boot the live cd [15:15] everything is 72pt or so [15:16] any ideas? :o [15:21] hello, [15:21] I am aware that guichan default installs into the wrong place in kubuntu when compiled, where should I install it? [15:21] hi [15:27] morning kubuntuers [15:28] kubuntuers sounds french :P [15:29] hej =) [15:32] wow [15:32] 11k people online on the ubuntu forums [15:36] hi all. [15:36] !googleearth [15:36] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too.

[15:52] Ping. [15:53] hi all, my "df -h" says says this about root partition: 8.9G size 8.7G used, but available: 0 [15:53] what is wrong? i cannot download in firefox, nor watch flash videos [15:54] cecko: That's correct. Approx 5% of a file system is reserved, only root can use it. [15:54] !glxgears [15:54] To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears' in a terminal. [15:54] hi guys, do you have any idea about which are the standard measures of a website page's header? [15:56] DarthFrog, thank you [15:56] Ayabara: Have a look at:~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc [15:56] cecko: You're welcome. [15:57] Hi all. Is there a program which will allow me to record my notes, enabling me to search easily. I know I could use a WP, but I don't want to use that. [15:57] DarthFrog: thanks. so the stored info isn't shared between gnome and kde? [15:58] Ayabara: I don't run GNOME so I can't say. [15:59] DarthFrog: I run a little bit of both :) [15:59] thanks for the info [16:01] say, I want to emulate windows xp, on a standard kubuntu installation on a 32 bit core 2 computer [16:02] I want to run a graphicly intensive software, that I know that it can work with a cirus logic video card, tough I prefer something better [16:02] what program would you recommend? [16:02] for the emulation that is? [16:03] virtualbox would probably be the best avihayb [16:03] i have the google earth package for utility to automatically build a Debian package of Google Earth is there any faq to help build it? [16:03] because it's an improvement on qemu? [16:04] I find it much easier to use with regard to settings. I think you have a lot more control. [16:05] cuznt: Why do you want to do that??

What is it? [16:21] how do I use google talk on kubuntu? [16:21] It's a software that runs before the os [16:22] it then gives the first os special privleges on the hardware [16:22] and lets you run other OS as guest OSs [16:22] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen [16:22] Sounds interesting. [16:22] Serva: use pidgin [16:22] seems I won't be able to use a standard kubuntu dough [16:22] www.pidgin.im [16:23] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen [16:24] If you're interested in virtualisation, you don't need Xen. Linux has it's own KVM built-in! [16:27] am I the only one who was problems with Skype in Kubuntu. Like -if my lap is working really hard skype is the first thing to crash :/ [16:28] reinstall it may be can void this.

[16:29] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:29] :) [16:29] haha [16:29] hi guys is there a way to prevent a window closing? i mean if im running an app and accidentally push the X botton to close it, is there a way i can make a pop-up window warning me, like asking me "do you really want to close this app?" that will be really useful, is there a way? [16:30] zer0o: Check window settings in System Settings. [16:30] zer0o: remove X as hot key ? [16:30] you mean like automatically for every application? [16:31] what IRC-client does peole use for Kubuntu ? [16:31] Konversation [16:31] AB KONVERSATION [16:31] Right now, I'm using Chatzilla. [16:31] no one uses irssi ? [16:31] kvirc here [16:31] i dont mean automatically for every window but there's this app im interested about, and it doesnt ask it by default, how can i make it ask? [16:31] I used to use Kopete but it doesn't do IRC anymore. :-( [16:32] i cant seem to get flash to play in firefox [16:32] i'm having a HUGE problem setting charset in IRSSI :( [16:32] mrunagi: i can. [16:32] my firefox with no problem [16:32] zer0o: i dount there is a way to do that on a per app basis, email the author of tha app and ask them to add it in (or if you know c++, add it in yourself ;) ) [16:33] konversation is nice. [16:33] aotianlong: what did u do to get it to work [16:34] kniolet: :) [16:34] kniolet: good way. [16:34] hmmm [16:34] mrunagi: firefox3 [16:34] just click install plugin button [16:35] re converstion, if you are on lots of channels, you may want to change the chanel list to the left instead of the bottom [16:35] follow it,then installed. [16:35] otherwise it gets to where you cant read the names of the rooms [16:36] (its under settings->intertace->tabs->look->placement, i think) [16:36] a private problem [16:36] zer0o: you can remove the close button [16:36] give the correct form of the verbs in parentheses [16:37] on a per ap basis [16:37] what __ you __ (buy) yesterday? [16:38] how do i remove it? cannot i just set it to send the app to the icon tray? [16:38] ok, I might have a mistake there [16:38] well, if you right click it's icon in the title bar, there is an option called window behaviour [16:39] english is difficult , i hate it. [16:40] there is an option called closeable [16:40] zer0o: [16:40] try it [16:40] where? [16:41] well, I don't see an uncloseable [16:41] the program's icon in the title bar, it opens a drop down list [16:42] on that list, there is an option called configure window behaviour [16:43] i've already tried to modify the specific window behaviour but apparently there's not such a thing [16:43] audacious starts at every song file selected. I would like to play only one at once [16:43] you need to add one [16:44] in the window behaviour window, you shoyld pick window specific [16:44] then you need to create a new "rule" [16:45] then you can press the detect button, and pick the program you want [16:45] to add the rules to [16:47] but other then changeing transperansy, I don't see anything that will actualy help you not to close it [16:47] yes [16:47] me neither [16:47] alright thanks though [16:48] DarthFrog: Does a standard kubuntu comes with the KVM kernel module built in? [16:48] every time I riproduce a mp3 file, audaciuos application continues to starts with every files [16:49] I would like to reproduce only one sond at once [16:49] avihayb: I don't know, sorry.

KVM turns your os into a virtual cpu manager, allowing you to run other OSs on the same CPU. [19:05] ok, #ubuntu seems pretty busy, maybe someone here has a quick solution: [19:05] I've got an old machine here running 6.06LTS. It has 12 drives as a raid5-compound which contains a luks-encrypted ext3 fs. In other words: A fsck run takes bloody ages. However, it would like to do one NOW while I would love to simply boot NOW. Is there anyway to circumvent the fsck at startup? ctrl-c won't do the trick. [19:06] the_low: you could probably mount it from a livecd, then edit the fstab so that it won't run fsck anymore (or run it less often) [19:08] hm. ok, I had hope there would be a simpler solution that doesn't include digging for a spare cd-rom drive, but thanks :) [19:08] well, it'll still be faster than waiting 3h+ for fsck to finish [19:09] the_low: the end of the fstab lines is two numbers between 0 and 2, the first is dump, the second is pass, if the second number is set to 0 then it won't run fsck, 1 is for the root filesystem, 2 is for things to be fsck'd. [19:10] oh, stupid me, the fstab is even on the unencrypted fs. I'll just use a usb = sata adapter and my notebook [19:11] dwidmann: thank you :) [19:19] was there a date anounced already by which the 8.10 gots released? [19:19] I have to install a new PC and I'd like to wait for 8.10 [19:21] Guildenstern: for ubuntu, there is [19:21] and Kubuntu? [19:22] I belive that they try to release on the same day [19:22] I believe it's the 30th [19:22] they say in kubuntu.com that it's released in 12 days [19:23] yI mean, that it will be released in... [19:23] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule [19:26] thanks [19:27] ??? [19:27] Hi, I had a wirless adapter plugged into kubuntu and it worked great, but now I removed it and I dont want to use wireless anymore. BUt every time I login the network manager tries to load wireless and I get annoying failed to connect messages from a bunch of applications until they all go into waiting for 2 minutes mode, then I can disable wireless and it works. I dont want to have wireless automatically, any way to fix? [19:28] Alguém aqui fala português??? [19:29] Chris_Foster: Use networkmanager to delete the wireless connection. [19:29] !pt [19:29] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [19:29] DarthFrog: I've already done that [19:30] Mmkay, why would a cifs mount not allow write accesses except for the user specified in the mount options? [19:31] Could be wrong, but I do remember it working at one point. [19:32] Or is there a better place to ask? [19:33] Hi. Over the past few days I've been downloading an iso file. I successfully downloaded the file, but now, for some reason, the file is uploading. Why is this? [19:33] itsatrick- how did you download it? [19:33] itsatrick: if your using a torrent client, then your sharing it with other people who are downloading it [19:34] itsatrick: Thanks how torrents work, you download them from other people, that in turn download them from you. Its a big sharing netowrk [19:34] *netowrk [19:34] *network, lol [19:35] Dragnslcr: I went to the KUbuntu page and download the ISO file. [19:35] Am I safe to stop the task? [19:35] itsatrick: Yes. [19:36] Thanks. [19:37] Heya, I am testing the 8.10 beta (64bit). I wonder, is it only me, or are there very few packages available? [19:38] For example, if I search for "firefox" in Adept, I find nothing. [19:41] hey [19:42] Hullo [19:43] is #kubuntu+1 a channel? [19:44] nope, forwarded to #ubuntu+1 [19:44] thanks everyone. [19:45] hmm [19:45] where is the GRUB list at? [19:46] nvm, I found it [19:47] why are there multiple kubuntu entries in the grub.lst file? [19:47] are these really needed?

[20:04] ok [20:04] sec [20:05] you need the libk3b2-extracodecs package [20:05] it contains ffmpeg and mp3 support [20:06] before hardy it was called libk3b2-mp3 [20:07] stupid me, libk3b3-extracodecs [20:07] not 2 [20:07] sri [20:07] Ah. libk3b2-extracodecs actually *removes* k3b [20:07] yes [20:07] see above [20:07] libk3b3 [20:08] it installed, let me check k3b...

What can I do to recover the file from the trash can or copy it without losing the data.

[20:54] im using 8.04 [20:54] I won't even touch a linux beta [20:54] check out 8.10. its pretty neat [20:55] =X [20:55] yeah im good on beta [20:55] last beta I tried ate windows [20:55] it works great for me. and i run an old pc [20:55] hahaha [20:55] im getting ready to install kubuntu over ubuntu [20:55] shouldnt beta talk be carried elsewhere? [20:55] * kr0n05931 goes back to reading man bash [20:55] contrast, thats why im running separated x screens.. then the files ends up on monitor.. and I can change desktops on my monitor and TV is still on the same.. :) [20:55] GaMbi_DK: you already have nvidia-settings installed? [20:56] yeha [20:56] contrast, yea.. the newest with envyNG [20:56] but not the drivers === Guest12341245 is now known as EvilDaemon [20:56] i had to manualy set it to "nv" in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:57] contrast, I know how to work with it if thats what you mean.. I changed allot of stuff in the xorg.conf over the last days.. always with a backup ofc.. any tips? :) [20:57] GaMbi_DK: i thought that the icons would show up on the desktop of whichever screen is set to be the main screen in nvidia-settings. i might be wrong though - sorry i can't be much help, it's been a while since i messed with it. [20:57] because it would not start x with "nvidia" drivers [20:58] GaMbi_DK: 'fraid not. i googled for a couple hours, got frustrated and gave up on it. :-\ [20:58] kubuntu 8.10 beats osx and vista add compiz and well its just out of the park [20:58] contrast, windows (movies etc) opens on main.. but files dosn't due to rule of "put as fare left as possible" dont know if that can be changed :S [20:59] yeah, once i get better graphics card err new motherboard, imma install compiz.. but for now. i like not crashing x [20:59] ;D [20:59] kde4 takes some learning but we all will [20:59] yeh [20:59] ive noticed [20:59] ralpho, you'r using 8.10? no problems at all? :P [20:59] like your desktop is not really your desktop [20:59] lol [20:59] meh... kde 4's not nearly configurable enough for my liking yet. i'm giving it some time. [20:59] kde4 and kde 3.whatever are almost totally different? [20:59] none yet im lovin it like mickey d's [21:00] Robb_M: yep [21:00] mickey d's is da bomb dude [21:00] uhmmm. so you hate it? lol [21:00] * Robb_M sighs [21:00] man...relearn KDE...yay [21:00] wasnt on my agenda for today..but..oh well :D [21:01] Lancelot is sick though - best thing in KDE 4 yet IMO [21:01] same stuff, new gui [21:01] :D [21:01] Are there any programs that let you convert MKV files to MPEG files, I have "Multimedia Converter" and it will do it, but I cant select what audio track and subtitle track I want from the MKV file. Does anyone know any programs that will let me do this? [21:01] big mac rules f flamebroiled chemical taste [21:01] oh so nothings really changed as far as applications? [21:01] wt eff is a MKV file? [21:01] Robb_M: every kde application has been, or is getting, completely redone for kde4 [21:02] Kde4 discussion in #kubuntu-kde4 and offtopic discussion in #kubuntu-offtopic. Thanks! [21:02] * Robb_M sighs...fun [21:02] how do i install the kde themes downloaded from kde-org.com [21:02] Robb_M: some radically different, some not so much. kde4's dolphin wipes the floor with kde3's. [21:02] man, i really want someone to release music open source music production software that works [21:02] Candy|Corpses: ardour is fantastic! [21:03] only real problem is nightly builds are sure to break something sooner or later so 8.10 just for fun. [21:03] Candy|Corpses: lmms, audacity, ardour, rosegarden - you've tried all of those? [21:03] Candy|Corpses: its a type of video file that can support more than one video, audio, and subtitle tracks that you can switch between [21:03] if you can get the dependencies and make it compile [21:03] yepp [21:03] sorry jussi01, didnt realize we had a seperate kde4 room... [21:03] and mixx. wired. etc [21:03] Candy|Corpses: ardour and all of thoseare in the repositories [21:03] brb [21:04] I'm trying to add a user that will have read+write permissions to everything the default user has access to. Anyone know of an easy way to do this besides putting the new user in the default user's group and giving group read+write permissions to everything I want the new user to have access to? [21:04] hay that should be kubuntu [21:04] +1 :( [21:05] Make me mingle with brown wallpaper people. [21:14] Hi. Has anyone worked with postgresql on kubuntu [21:15] I have just finished installing postgresql to my hardy machine.. but I could not find the documentation for creating a database and start working on it.. on postgresql website [21:19] Goan: did you install the postgresql-doc package? if so, it should be under /usr/share/doc [21:20] Goan: i just ran "apt-cache search postgresql | grep doc" and figured that'd have what you need, but you might want to check the output of that command to see if any other packages catch your eye. [21:21] since last reboot, amarok cant play mp3 anymore, the program ask if I want to add support, but doesnt when I tell it to do so [21:21] whats the package to let amarok play mp3 called? [21:22] hello all [21:22] contrast, installing the doc package now [21:22] lokpest: strange. try "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" - i forget the exact package, but that'll definitely pull it in if it got uninstalled for some reason. [21:23] hmm [21:23] I'm trying to add a user that will have read+write permissions to everything the default user has access to. Anyone know of an easy way to do this besides putting the new user in the default user's group and giving group read+write permissions to everything I want the new user to have access to? [21:23] just a quick question, what saoftware is best for copying avi's to disk to watch on dvd player??? [21:23] no clue what the mp3-package is, dont like restricted-extras [21:24] administrator: if you're looking for something that'll let you create nice-looking, layered menus, i'd say qdvdauthor. if you want something really quick and easy, devede. they're both in the repos, and getdeb.net has newer versions. [21:24] lokpest: libxine1-ffmpeg i *think* [21:25] lokpest: err, actually looks like it's libxine1-plugins [21:25] lokpest, if you type "apt-cache depends kubuntu-restricted-extras", it shouldn't be hard to guess which package provides mp3 support [21:25] LjL: good call [21:26] thanks very much for your help contrast [21:26] administrator: np [21:28] its just that im new to linux and need to know what programs are best to use lol [21:30] administrator: KMenu -> System -> Konsole -> "sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install" -> KMenu -> System -> Add/Remove -> sort by popularity :-) [21:31] Adept (Kubuntu's default package management frontend) sucks next to Gnome's equivalents. [21:32] fucking hell, nothing works [21:32] lokpest: o_O ? [21:32] !language [21:32] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:32] Something is wrong with my Desktops.. when I apply Desktop effects I can max have two.. when I disable desktop effects it acts funny too.. can I reinstall em or something? plz help ;) [21:33] GaMbi_DK: did you install compizconfig-settings-manager already? [21:33] yea [21:34] There are changelog.gz file in postgresql-doc directory, but apprently I cant gzip -c them .. gzip -c filename > destination [21:34] contrast, yea.. ccsm.. it worked on ubuntu just fine :) but the desktops are acting up now :S [21:34] GaMbi_DK: Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (or whatever they call it) -> Preferences -> Switch the bottom combobox to Flat-file Configuration Backend -> Back -> General Settings -> Desktop Size [21:35] i've never had much luck with ubuntu's compiz packages, so i've always just compiled it from git and it mostly works perfectly. [21:37] thanks very much contrast im doing that now thanks [21:38] administrator: :) [21:38] contrast, any info about the documentation on postgresql installation [21:38] is this gnome baker?? [21:38] contrast, still max two :S.. in "Desktop Size" it dosnt allow me to change "Number of Desktops" [21:38] administrator: umm... ? [21:39] GaMbi_DK: and you changed the backend to flat-file? [21:39] contrast, yea [21:39] i think i herd something about this program im not sure [21:40] administrator: gnome baker is a burning program, i think, which i definitely would *not* recommend over K3b (Kubuntu's default). [21:40] o yea i seen this in the kmenu [21:40] GaMbi_DK: strange. have you tweaked compiz a lot? if not, i'd just delete (or move) ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/Default.ini and see if that fixes it. [21:41] i tried this program aswell but it wouldnt work for me [21:41] administrator: which program? [21:41] kb3 [21:42] Goan: nope, sorry. i know nothing about db's. :-\ [21:42] sorry k3b [21:42] contrast, now tweaks... I removed the ccsm and the compiz from the "add remove programs" or what ever.. is that enough? [21:43] GaMbi_DK: umm... probably not. removing packages never touches anything in your home directory. [21:43] contrast, what do I do? [21:43] "contrast on the konsole it says ldconfig defered processing now taking place" but it not moving [21:43] administrator: yeah, k3b's mainly for burning stuff that's already prepared for being burnt - so you can use devede to make the .iso of the dvd disc, then just burn it with k3b. [21:44] o ryt i see now, o i just use the default settings on devede?? [21:45] administrator: you should be able to, yeah. it's pretty intuitive. [21:46] GaMbi_DK: rm -r .config/compizconfig/compiz [21:46] contrast: so i need ot make it an iso beofre i can burn?? [21:47] administrator: well, that's the way i usually do it. i think you can also just convert them to dvd-ready mpegs, or have it create the dvd folder structure containing the videos (video_ts/ and audio_ts/) [21:48] administrator: i know a lot of dvd players will play data discs with avis on them. did you try that already? [21:48] nope i havent tried that [21:49] of course you won't have a menu or any of the niceties that way... if you've got a really slow computer, i'd recommend that since converting the videos to DVD format can take hours. otherwise, just make the .iso with devede. [21:49] contrast: how long should this take to convert to iso using devede?? [21:51] contrast, .config/compiz/compizconfig/xonfig? [21:51] contrast, .config/compiz/compizconfig/config? [21:51] GaMbi_DK: ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/Default.ini - but i'd just delete the whole compiz directory to be sure. note that this will reset *all* changes you've made in ccsm, so you may want to backup Default.ini first [21:52] how do you alt tab or minimize in full screen application (game) [21:52] administrator: depends on a lot of things - length of the video, resolution, bitrate, etc. in my experience, on average, converting a movie takes around two hours on my P4 3.4GHz w/ HT [21:52] im only using a 1.7ghz [21:53] administrator: dual-core? [21:53] yes dual core [21:53] i think devede has a checkbox for utilizing multiple cores for the conversion, so you should be alright... [21:54] o ryt ill try anyway [21:54] contrast, .config/compiz deleted.. desktops still acting up.. only two of the 4 works.. 1 and 3 will open desktop 1... 2 and 4 will open desktop 2 [21:54] contrast: so making th iso splits it into sound and picture files?? [21:55] GaMbi_DK: how are you switching to them? [21:55] concernedcitizen, pushing the 4 icons on my bar [21:55] contrast, even sorry concernedcitizen [21:55] administrator: no. it just creates a single file which is ready to be burnt as a video dvd [21:56] o ryt ok no probs i will try that out, how do we do it if we just want the film and no menu?? [21:56] GaMbi_DK: the pager doesn't always work right. try control+alt+left/right? [21:56] GaMbi_DK: you can set shortcuts for each desktop in the Rotate Cube plugin in CCSM as well [21:57] flips like cube effect with only two desktops [21:57] GaMbi_DK: in Desktop Size - you have horizontal set to 4 and vertical set to 1? [21:58] administrator: the menu's optional. it's pretty self-explanatory w/ devede. :) [21:58] Hi all [21:58] !hi | chuxxsss [21:58] chuxxsss: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [21:59] I'm trying to add a user that will have read+write permissions to everything the default user has access to. Anyone know of an easy way to do this besides putting the new user in the default user's group and giving group read+write permissions to everything I want the new user to have access to? [21:59] contrast, no.. horizontal is 2 vertical 1 [21:59] GaMbi_DK: so set horiz to 4 ;-) [21:59] ok thanks for all your help i will try this out [21:59] speak to you soon contrast [21:59] administrator: have fun [22:00] contrast, worked.. but damn they are big :) [22:00] anyone no how to change prefs in kmess it keeps opening screem instead of say firefox [22:00] GaMbi_DK: there's an option for how the cube is displayed across multiple monitors as well - either in general settings, desktop cube or rotate cube - i forget which one. [22:01] GaMbi_DK: you can always use Advanced Search in CCSM to look for a certain option [22:01] chuxxsss: i've never used KMess, but most KDE apps are configured via Settings -> Configure [22:02] contrast thanks will look again [22:02] chuxxsss: do you have screem set as your default browser? (KMenu -> System Settings -> Default Applications -> Web Browser) [22:04] contrast no it change 2 update ago [22:04] contrast, thx... now it works as in ubuntu.. but damn Id like if I could rotate my monitor desktops and TV separately [22:05] GaMbi_DK: i'm pretty sure it's possible, but you'll want to ask google about that one. [22:05] done that for days contrast :P [22:05] heh, sorry [22:06] GaMbi_DK: might also ask in #compiz-fusion [22:08] contrast, thx for all the help :) was great [22:08] no problem :) [22:08] contrast, gonna try #compiz-fusion and google some more.. cya [22:09] peace [22:09] Oh hey. Any ideas about getting an 'open with' context item to open with a remote process? [22:09] contrast:Browser set for firefox already. no setting or config in kmess which I can play with mate [22:10] and by the way who ever made controlcenter thank you u r gr8 === simon__ is now known as oo0 [22:11] chuxxsss: i'm not sure then, sorry. does kmess have any features kopete is lacking? [22:11] my wirless dosn't working after update! [22:11] chuxxsss: +1 to that - Control Center >>>>> System Settings [22:11] :) [22:12] oo0: what'd you have to do to get it working initially? [22:12] a download pack [22:13] but after a update it dosn't work [22:13] oo0: the last update came with a new kernel, so you probably just need to reinstall the module for your card and reboot. [22:13] madwifi-tools [22:13] oo0: i assume the Restricted Hardware Manager didn't work for you? [22:13] I have a bit of an intermittant problem with wifi as well, with a new Intrepid install. But I'm also running remotely. [22:14] kmess is ezier to use [22:14] hm.. ok [22:15] well, guys, i'm off. peace [22:15] contract And Kmess is better in one to one chats [22:16] contract same back [22:17] Mine's a BCM4306. [22:25] why is my firefox ugly like in KDE4? [22:25] and more importantly, how do I fix it? [22:25] I tried installing a new theme and it looks the same :-( [22:26] one theory of firefox's creation is that konqi farted one day and fire came out of his butt instead of his mouth, and caught a poor animal on fire [22:26] that's probably why it doesn't quite blend in [22:29] interesting... [22:29] konqui should definitely replace his head with his ass then [22:29] cuz KHTML needs a lot of work [22:30] hahahah [22:33] !kvm [22:33] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [22:35] hi all.. im having problems. im trying to get my wifi card up and running. my card is a old broadcom. uses chip 4306. im trying to follow the instructions on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43legacy [22:35] but i only get error when i try to make.

[22:59] well, some cameras have a wird non-mass storage access to theyre memory [22:59] hm im trying to install kamera software.. maybe this wil help [23:04] well it found camera but something is still not nice..cant work :D === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir [23:08] How can I make a keyboard shortcut for konsole? [23:14] So I'm running two monitors in 8.04. Everything works fine except for one little problem.

[23:27] hi :) [23:30] are there any failsafe ways to detect an ipod in kubuntu? [23:30] i've tried installing ipodslave, hipo, etc. none of them detect my ipod [23:31] i tried to format it by hand and i'm pretty sure it messed up and just ruined the partition table, now i can't even access the thing to format it [23:31] don't know mot_, I just plug it and it works for me [23:32] .... [23:32] you should repair it with iTunes I fear [23:32] I think I had the same problem some times ago [23:33] meh i'm too lazy to boot into windows [23:33] lol [23:33] lemme see if i can get an old version of itunes working i nwine [23:33] http://pastie.org/295450 - anyone can help me get into my digital camera? :) [23:33] it's possible to install iTunes with linux no ?
