[00:00] thank you very much [00:03] ciao [00:03] qualcuno sa come togliere l'animazione delle icone su kubuntu? [00:03] !it [00:03] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:03] l'animazione che parte quando si lancia l'applicazione [00:03] When I try to install 8.10 beta it doesn't continue after the keyboard layout screen. It just greys the back and next buttons. Any ideas? [00:03] !it| daniele [00:03] daniele: please see above [00:04] ops [00:04] sorry [00:04] freeksh0w86: Ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:04] ok thanks [00:05] freeksh0w86: You're welcome [00:12] genii thanks ver much again that installed perfect, tvm [00:12] administrator: You're welcome [00:15] Hi, does kubuntu have a compiz manager? === root is now known as Guest79423 [00:22] !ccsm [00:22] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [00:22] <\Kira> natalisushka: you can get compiz for kubuntu and it works fine and has a config window, but its good to have the fusion-icon package aswell [00:29] how can I change the colors of kde3 apps in kde4? [00:46] LjL: wb [00:48] hey all [00:49] any ssh experts? [00:53] jahbeez: What is the problem you are experiencing with ssh [00:53] . [00:53] hi all [00:54] I suddenly (or for about a month now) can't ssh into my mythbox [00:54] I need to resize my / partition === ubuntu__ is now known as colonel_panic [00:54] colonel_panic: Boot to livecd and use the partitioner to resize it [00:54] I am now running kubuntu via livecd [00:55] will that destroy any data on my / partition? [00:55] jahbeez: The mythTV box has openssh-server running? [00:55] I tried copying the entire thing to my new hard drive, and some files wouldn't copy [00:56] there's approximately 5 MB of data that wouldn't copy === root is now known as Guest19484 [00:57] genii: when you say "use the partitioner", do you mean gparted? [00:57] colonel_panic: You can also do something like use dd to copy the entire drive partition info and all to the new drive, if it's a larger one. Then use the gparted or so to resize [00:57] colonel_panic: Yes [00:57] jahbeez: I do not assist in PM, only in public channel, this is my polcy, sorry [00:58] ok, "sudo gparted" in the bash shell does nothing [00:58] "command not found" [00:58] colonel_panic: alt-f2 then: kdesu gparted === keith_ is now known as compilerwriter [00:58] I tried installing it, but I'm still getting the same error [00:58] Wait kubuntu livecd? [00:59] yes [00:59] colonel_panic: alt-f2 then: kdesu qtparted [00:59] gparted is the gnome version [01:00] again, command not found [01:00] ok sorry, yeah the server has been running, it just now won't accept my password [01:00] jahbeez: What is result of command: lsof -i:22 on mythtv box? Use pastebin please if too long so as not to flood channel [01:01] genii: command not found [01:01] colonel_panic: Try then: alt-f2 and: kdesudo qtparted [01:01] I have a shell open, no need for alt-f2 [01:02] colonel, download>boot partedmagic, get partitions straight, boot 'Buntu [01:02] colonel_panic: Is this a shell you got to by way of something like ctrl-alt-f1 ? [01:02] I tried to fire up the help in Kmymoney and I was told the kdehelpcenter could not be found do I need to apt-get it? [01:03] eg: graphic apps will not run in those consoles. Only from Konsole or so [01:03] I have a shared folder on ubuntu 6.06 but when i try to view the folder from my xp machine it asks for a login and password. I'd like it to be available without. Is there any way to accomplish this? [01:03] colonel_panic: in the livecd>konsole>sudo apt-get install gparted ... and go from there> kmenu>system>gparted [01:04] genii, nothing, goes back to command prompt [01:04] nejode: This works also, but livecd should have a partitioner somewhere on it [01:04] something odd is happening in kubuntu. When I try to restart, shutdown, or leave, nothing is happening. [01:04] jahbeez: This means nothing using port 22 (ssh port) is running on that box. eg: the sshd process is not running [01:05] ok, why now and what do I do about it? [01:06] v1s1t: in /etc/samba/smb.conf change security = user to security = share [01:06] oh thx a bunch [01:06] Any ideas? [01:07] jahbeez: You are on that box console right now? [01:07] I used to ssh into this thing all the time, then I couldn't and can't [01:07] all my attempts to restart, leave, quit, etc, when I press on the buttons, nothing happens. [01:07] yep, as good as I can be with remote mouse :) [01:07] v1s1t: remove the semicolon at the bweginning of the line (if it's there!) [01:08] v1s1t: save your changes and restart samba [01:08] right now i have "security = user" [01:08] jahbeez: OK. When you try: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh/ssh start does it groan or start the sshd? [01:08] so i need to change user to share [01:08] hi guys I was wondering if anyone has a sound card they can recommend to me [01:08] it is unclear to me why all the quit buttons on kubuntu would stop working? [01:08] v1s1t: change "user" to "share" [01:08] jahbeez: Sorry sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start only, no double "ssh" there [01:09] how do i restart samba [01:09] emma: Me too. It is a strange problem [01:09] in console [01:09] v1s1t: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:09] thx [01:09] v1s1t: np [01:09] emma: The system is responsive otherwise? [01:10] I have noticed a lot of things get restarted in /etc/init.d/foo restart [01:10] that's how you restart ssh too. [01:10] still asking for a username and pass [01:10] emma: Yes, it is where all the system startup scripts are [01:10] emma: can you shutdown with the command "halt"? [01:10] I visited here and there aren't many to pick from http://linux.about.com/od/gmr_howto/a/hwtgmr09t00.htm [01:10] looks like it started the server, still won't accept my password [01:10] nejode: yes I would imagine I can. I've not tried since I figure that will work and I thought this was odd and should be worked out or at least mentioned in case it helps others. [01:11] genii: it's a good one to know. [01:11] jahbeez: Does now the: lsof -i:22 command show something like: sshd 4806 root 3u IPv6 15821 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) ? [01:12] nope, still straight back to command prompt [01:12] emma: I said that because I had once that prob, rebooted and everything began working again [01:13] jahbeez: Hm. What about: ps ax | grep sshd ? [01:13] nejode: yep i imagine it will work again after a reboot. It's just odd. [01:13] nejode: what process runs the login/out tools? [01:15] k, has some output. /usr/sbin/sshd and another process with ? [01:15] hey it no longer asks for a pass but it still isn't showing my shared folder [01:16] just my printer [01:16] jahbeez: Heh, the "?" I put was just part of the question I asked and not part of the command. But regardless it does show sshd running then? [01:17] jahbeez: Can you successfully ssh localhost on the mythtv box? [01:18] to the last one, yes [01:18] emma: no idea..maybe kdeinit? [01:19] but I still get "Permission denied (publickey,password)" [01:19] from my remote box [01:19] emma: kaccess? [01:20] v1s1t: paste the last 10 lines of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to take a look [01:21] ok brb [01:21] thx [01:27] jahbeez: Weird. [01:27] http://pastebin.com/d2f91cfe1 [01:27] jahbeez: You using IP or name in the ssh command? [01:27] jahbeez: and if you move your ~./ssh/known_hosts file? [01:28] let me know when you have corrected it [01:28] unless you might be kind enough to walk me through it [01:29] v1s1t: browseable = yes [01:29] Have any of you noticed that when kubuntu is starting up, there will be a momentary flash of whatever the screen looked like just before logging off, before going on to render the start up? [01:29] Not on mine [01:29] not for me. Are you using hibernate or something? [01:30] No but this happens when i shutdown by doing sudo shutdown -r now [01:30] all browseables are yes [01:30] anything else? [01:30] v1s1t: your share is /media??? [01:30] try shutting down that way once. [01:30] yes i want all mounted media shared on my network [01:31] then restart and notice how it will flash a quick image of the screen right before shutdown before going on with the startup. [01:31] I think your eyes are just really slow to update [01:31] hehe no i know what i'm seeing. [01:31] I should perhaps say though, I'm using Kubuntu Intrepid. [01:32] AFK (pizza arrived) [01:32] I'm using the IP of the mythbox [01:32] v1s1t: you shure about that... you'll have a big permissions mess there [01:33] I haven't tried moving the known_hosts file, but I did delete stuff in the ~/.ssh directory out of desperation [01:33] do you guys find that support for Kubuntu is quite different than support for Ubuntu? [01:34] it's a little more laid-back ;) [01:35] i just realized that [01:35] just tried on the xp box then tried making it /media/'usb drive' [01:36] same issue [01:36] should i mount it to a folder outside media? [01:39] 'lo? [01:39] v1s1t: I usually use a public directory created in /home with 777 permissions [01:39] ...but a removan [01:40] yea i have one how do i change the permissions? the folder is /home/ftp [01:40] *removable media is a little more problematic [01:40] its a usb hard drive via ide to usb [01:41] ok, but you should not use fstab to mount a removable drive === ubuntu is now known as col_panic [01:41] ...unless you make it persistent [01:42] i use the mount --bind to make it mount to /home/ftp [01:42] ok well none of the partitioning tools seem to work [01:42] Hello! I just (tried to) switch from ubunto to kubuntu. Problem: emacs misbehaves!!! What to do? [01:42] col_panic: What filesystem type is this old / you want to resize? [01:43] well, then try sudo chmod -R 777 /home/ftp [01:43] Ouch, 777 [01:43] whoa [01:43] ext3 [01:43] lots of stuff [01:43] the util won't even launch [01:43] I keep getting "command not found" errors [01:44] i should be able to read and write from other machines now right? [01:44] I'm running this from a kubuntu livecd [01:44] hardy [01:45] what do emacs users in kubuntu do for, for instance, get accented letteers í to show right? [01:45] still having the same issue with permissions [01:45] I'm applying updates right now [01:45] hopefully this will help [01:45] maybe i should try suse [01:46] ok, so how do I start over with ssh? [01:46] hehe [01:46] v1s1t: maybe you'll have to add "directory mask = 0777" and "create mask = 0777" to your smb.conf [01:46] whereabouts in the file [01:46] this can't be this difficult [01:46] bottom ok? [01:49] don't kde users use emacs? [01:49] nm found and changed [01:49] v1s1t: a few lines to the top you'll see the directory mask and create mask lines... [01:52] genii: it's impossible to resize a partition without using the livecd, isn't it? [01:52] what if I use a different distro? [01:53] col_panic: It's impossible to do it from booted inside the system you want to resize is the basic problem. Any distro with some version of parted (gparted or qtparted, etc) should also work === rajdhani is now known as rajdhani__ [01:55] col_panic: a PartedMagic CD is always a good thing to have [01:55] oh hell [01:55] I can't install all the updates because my root partition is now filling up even faster! [01:56] hsould I *not* run gparted fron a konsole instance? [01:58] *should* [01:58] Well Gparted is the Gnome parted. So is better if on a Kubuntu livecd to use instead QTparted which is the kde parted. [01:58] oh yeah, right [01:58] lemme try it [01:59] command not found [01:59] dammit [01:59] I don't understand why this isn't working [02:00] col_panic: why don't you do it through the GUI??? [02:01] Since they need admin rights, trying to run a gnome app from inside konsole using kdesu or kdesudo doesn't usually work. Same as running gksudo from inside konsole doesn't also work. gksu/gksudo from inside Gnome Terminal and kdesu/kdesudo from inside Konsolel [02:02] and sudo from almost any Terminal/Konsole [02:02] how do I show hidden files in dolphin (begins with . character)? [02:03] right click [02:03] \/lisy [02:04] freeksh0w86: Alt plus . eg: alt and period key [02:04] or view -> show hidden files [02:07] i need help. When i try to do i fresh install, i get all the way through to the formatting stage. At this point it jumps to 33% locks up and the "caps lock" and "scroll lock" lights on the key board flash [02:07] is that an error code? [02:08] col_panic: nejode's recommendation of the dedicated partitioning boot CD is likely your best bet here I think [02:08] DarkTan: kernel panic [02:09] what is kernel panic and how do i get this cd? [02:09] also, I'm using once SCSI drive and two IDE drives, but it still did it w/o the SCSI drive [02:09] DarkTan: The CD I mentioned was for the user named col_panic and not directed at you [02:10] oh, sorry, got cinfuzed [02:10] DarkTan: A kernel panic is pretty bad. [02:10] confuzed* [02:10] how do i fix it? [02:10] DarkTan: It's theclosest thing there is in linux to a Blue Screen of Death, in fact [02:10] w00t [02:11] col_panic: http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php [02:11] DarkTan: Did you successfully use this cd previously to install from? [02:11] yes, both CD's on several occasions [02:12] DarkTan: PErhaps try instead the Alternate CD...has additional drivers but a text installer, no GUI [02:12] nejode, thanks [02:12] you mean the one that is not the live CD? [02:12] DarkTan: Yes [02:12] !alternate [02:12] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Kubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04/kubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [02:12] i have those [02:12] Kubuntu and Xubuntu [02:13] DarkTan: Have you tried one of those yet? [02:13] why don't they make a GUI'd installer with the additional drivers? [02:13] (the alternate) [02:13] yes, those are the only disks i have [02:13] jimmy51_home: Because then no room for the livecd operating system [02:13] ah [02:13] i had to use the alternate on the last comp i installed on [02:14] i have a live DVD of 7.10, should i try that? [02:14] DarkTan: Did you do some system diagnostics on this computer that is problemmatic? The RAM may be bad for instance , this can be checked with the memtest utility [02:14] no i have not, i'll try that [02:15] that is quite possible, the bad ram, this thing is made up of various bits and peicies i dug out of my closet [02:15] if everything i did works, it will be a miracle [02:16] Heh [02:16] Q: how can i reset tty7 from tty1 ? [02:16] jimmy51_home: kde3 or kde4 ? [02:16] 4 [02:16] OK I can't seem to run anything as root using this livecd [02:16] 0_o [02:16] jimmy51_home: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm-kde4 restart [02:17] ok errors at 280 and climbing [02:17] and I don't have cdirtect access to my disk filesystems [02:17] make that 450 [02:17] thanks [02:17] *direct* [02:17] jimmy51_home: Welcome [02:17] DarkTan: Doesn't sound good [02:17] 700 now, i have to agree [02:18] ok rebooting [02:18] every single one is 127.1MB, so i'm hoping it's only one stick [02:18] talk to you all on the other side [02:18] Count channel = 1 [02:18] 1200 errors now [02:19] Toss it [02:19] which stick would it be? [02:19] Try memtest with 1 out and see if thats it or no. [02:20] DarkTan: How many sticks in it? [02:20] how stable is the new release? [02:21] crzyboi_Laptop: Not as stable as most people would like [02:21] genii, a lot of bugs? [02:22] crzyboi_Laptop: A fair bit, yes. But it varies. Some people are not having probs with it, others are. [02:23] crzyboi_Laptop: "Use at your own risk" etc [02:23] ic [02:23] i think ill wait a but [02:23] bit* [02:24] crzyboi_Laptop: Official release is Oct 30, perhaps give it a week or so after for the really bad bugs to be patched, after they are known [02:24] DarkTan: Just two ram sticks in it, or more than that? [02:25] hey guys. I'm giving dolphin another try (Konqueror is starting to get bogged down with loading directories with lots of files)... Is there a way to separate hidden files from non-hidden, the way Konqui does by default? [02:25] hello [02:25] im having a hard time getting pcanywhere to install on my ubuntu box [02:26] ive installed java but when i try ti install the app i get an error [02:26] WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp002/5723167 [02:26] WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp002/7113152 [02:26] Hello. Can anyone tell me how I can set the boot loader to choose Windows or Kubuntu when I set on my PC? [02:26] speaking of dolphin, I am missing some features I loved.... like the move to... copy to.... archive extract to...... how do i get these all back? [02:26] and it says the wizard failed [02:26] juanantonio, edit the grub list [02:26] !grub | juanantonio [02:26] juanantonio: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:26] juanantonio: modify your grub menu [02:27] like ign0ramussaid :P [02:27] Can I make it from Kubuntu? [02:27] juanantonio: or the lazy way- you can install qgrubedit, and do it all through a gui... [02:27] juanantonio: yes [02:27] zerotolerance: Please in future do not paste multiple lines into the channel, use the pastebin instead [02:27] !pastebin [02:27] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [02:28] No idea. What is the option? I have Kubuntu 8.04 [02:28] juanantonio: try reading the tutorials [02:28] genii, i got three 128mb sticks [02:28] zerotolerance: As for pcanywhere on Ubuntu there seems to be much about it on this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2335907 some of which might be helpful to you [02:28] okay, back to reality [02:28] I' [02:29] I'm downlioading the PartedMagic ISo now [02:29] Ok. Another question, I have started with aMule, but it sends me the error Kad firewalled [02:29] thanks ive been all up and down that page and it gives me the same error the guy gets that last posted [02:29] no one ever posted a solution [02:29] DarkTan: I'd yank one out, retest, cycle one, retest, etc in this way until the bad one is found [02:29] i want to get away from windows but my compay has pc anywhere on everything it runs [02:29] ign0ramus, arkygeek: have you tried Krusader? [02:30] ok will do [02:30] nejode: not yet [02:30] DarkTan: The livecd will run on 256 so if you keep at least 2 in there should be enough [02:30] Anyone read my question about aMule? [02:31] ...try it out, it's full of surprises [02:31] well, the art will run on less than 100, so i'm good either way [02:31] nejode: installing now... i love Konqui, but man, it just stalls when opening up my roms folder or even /usr/bin [02:32] hey all [02:32] juanantonio: you probably need to forward your ports [02:32] ign0ramus: possibly a filesystem performance issue. === andrea is now known as Guest97466 [02:32] ign0ramus: I'm a konqueror man myself, but as you say, it's getting kind of heavy [02:33] dwidmann: could be... on a fresh install, it opens directories beautifully, but when you end up with a few thousand files (like my music directory), it really hangs [02:33] Alright, so under KDE3.5.x, knetworkmanager has a good working gui and everything. Under KDE4.1.2, I get no GUI for knetworkmanager and as such can't manage network connections through my wireless that way. is there a KDE4 update to knetworkmanager's interface so I can still run KDE4 properly? [02:33] is there any programs out there that use pcanywhere type stuff that i can use in linux? [02:34] ignoramus, anda how can I make that? [02:34] well i think i found the bad one, bank 2 [02:35] test is progressing well with only one stick in it [02:35] nejode: just opened my roms directory in about 4 seconds, as opposed to nearly 30 seconds in Konqueror. Nice suggestion! [02:36] Alright, so under KDE3.5.x, knetworkmanager has a good working gui and everything. Under KDE4.1.2, I get no GUI for knetworkmanager and as such can't manage network connections through my wireless that way. is there a KDE4 update to knetworkmanager's interface so I can still run KDE4 properly? [02:36] peer`: I think that's a work in progress. [02:36] okay [02:37] are there any other network managers I can use under KDE4.1.2? [02:37] nejode: can you toggle the split screen? for most of my purposes, it's overkill, and looks ugly. but my god, the options! [02:37] peer`: wicd [02:37] peer`: knetworkmanager (from kde3) will work fine [02:37] dwidmann it runs but I get no GUI so I can't manage anything [02:37] peer`: hmm, weird. [02:37] ign0ramus: sudo apt-get install wicd will work, right? [02:38] peer`: i believe so... homepage is here: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [02:38] dwidmann: yes, especially considering the first two KDE4.1.2 sessions I ran did just fine, knetworkmanager GUI and all [02:38] peer`: i actually find it better than knetworkmanager, which was always a little wonky for me. [02:39] peer`: wicd does not appear to be in the regular repos, so go with the sourceforge link [02:39] Looks like it won't be apt-getable (I feel like trying it myself) [02:39] 8.04 is hardy right? [02:39] is there a quick command to check to see if i have 3d enabled or not? [02:39] you could install network-manger-gnome [02:39] peer`: yes [02:39] ign0ramus: I was going to add the wicd repository link on the page [02:40] wicd is GTK software anyway [02:40] peer`: well, then yeah, apt will get it ;) [02:40] ok test passed with 128, running with ram from bank 1 and bank 3, places in banck 1 and 2 [02:40] placed* [02:41] DarkTan: Found the bad one then? [02:41] looks like it [02:41] jimmy51_home: glxinfo will have the info you need [02:41] ign0ramus: it looks like a QT MidnightCommander... but can do almost anything with it! [02:41] nejode: thx for the tip. Krusader looks perfect. Love it! g2g (2:41am here) take care everyone :-) [02:41] nejode: it is Qt [02:41] DarkTan: Maybe it's not bad but just wrong timing or so [02:41] later arkygeek [02:42] dwidmann: it spit out a lot off stuff. does that mean it's enabled? [02:42] nejode: still checking it out... is there a way to get rid of the split screen though? [02:42] jimmy51_home: depends what that stuff says, I think the line to pay attention to is "direct rendering =" [02:42] jimmy51_home: glxinfo | grep direct [02:43] direct rendering: yes [02:43] ok, it passed the first 4 tests, i am impatient, i will now try to install [02:43] I doubt it, it's like a Norton/Midnight commander... split views [02:43] DarkTan: My money is on it going past the point it failed at previously [02:43] ...leaving too... see ya [02:43] looks like it's working [02:43] :) [02:44] what is ACPI? [02:44] DarkTan: power management features [02:44] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI [02:44] should i force enable it? my bos is 1998 [02:44] bios* [02:45] ignoramus, if you sent me something about how forwarding ports, I didn't receive it [02:45] DarkTan: Yes [02:46] try protforward.com [02:46] riiiiiighjt [02:46] * DarkTan reboots [02:46] portforward.con [02:46] how do i do that? [02:46] ,cOM [02:46] DarkTan: Otherwise you will have to manually power it off by button each time after leaving kubuntu [02:46] ign0ramus: thanks, got wicd in KDE4 up [02:46] ahh, that would be why my older than time laptop refuses to turn off [02:47] DarkTan: By a line in the grub loading line like: acpi=force [02:47] kyrksaet1rora: it's working well? [02:47] ign0ramus: yep, got the gui up and running, and got it config'd to the wep pass on my home network [02:47] ign0ramus: and obviously the connection is working ;) === kyrksaet1rora is now known as peer` [02:47] before or after the "--" as the end of the current line? [02:47] Before [02:48] kyrksaet1rora: sweet. I really like wicd, and there was talk of including it in Intrepid by default, but the Ubuntu devs put so much time and effort into the respective network managers [02:48] will i still get the error telling my to use acpi=force if i added the line? [02:49] acpi=off is a kernel boot option. what -- are you refering to? [02:49] ign0ramus: I will admit i like knetworkmanager's look better but wicd does already feel a bit better. for some reason knetworkmanager never showed signal strength above 50% [02:49] DarkTan: Possibly, I forget. Been a while since I used it [02:49] dr_willis: The grub load line [02:49] @ dr_willis, the grub load line [02:49] * DarkTan got beat to it [02:50] peer`: yeah, i'm for whatever works better, and in my case (and a few others here, apparently), that is wicd. glad it worked for you guys, too! [02:50] * genii hands dr_willis a coffee [02:50] can ya paste what line ya got now? normally at the end ya just append apci=off I oftenhave to also use 'noapic' on some problem machines with apci=off [02:51]
