| Tann | filo1234: You still there? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| filo1234 | yes | 00:03 |
| Tann | You want to disable the bell in Konsole correct? | 00:03 |
| filo1234 | yes but temporally | 00:03 |
| filo1234 | i remember something with pcspkr | 00:04 |
| Tann | filo1234: Well, you can always just disable it then re-enable it. | 00:04 |
| vonkleist | DaSkreech, I'm running konversation, which has not been coded on KDE4 | 00:04 |
| filo1234 | Tann: i want disable it only for some session not for ever | 00:04 |
| DaSkreech | vonkleist: Umm.. | 00:05 |
| Tann | filo1234: ok | 00:05 |
| DaSkreech | That has little to do with being in a KDE3 Environment :) | 00:05 |
| filo1234 | Tann: i ca remove pcspkr module i think | 00:09 |
| filo1234 | can* | 00:10 |
| Tann | ok. | 00:10 |
| Tann | I was going to say you can go to the settings menu of konsole then to configure notifications. | 00:10 |
| Tann | and then disable the bell from there, and re-enable it when you want it again. | 00:11 |
| filo1234 | Tann: sure but i remember wich was a command for to do it | 00:11 |
| Tann | oh. | 00:12 |
| Tann | ok | 00:12 |
| W8TAH | hi folks - -can someone tell me where i can find the program kdeworldclock? i cant seem to find it in the repos etc | 00:17 |
| filo1234 | thanks to all bye | 00:18 |
| NamShub | how can I change my kde3 settings from a kde4 environment? | 00:21 |
| Tann | NamShub: I think you might be able to run the command: "kcontrol" | 00:23 |
| DaSkreech | boubbin: I guess so | 00:26 |
| DaSkreech | boubbin: I know for sure there is no kubuntu-desktop-kde3 | 00:26 |
| NamShub | kcontrol is not available in intrpid anymore | 00:27 |
| NamShub | the only thing that really bothers me, really, is quanta being associated with .html file.... so clicking on links in konversation (the only kde3 app i use) open quanta (the other only kde3 app I have installed, but sometimes need | 00:29 |
| garcia_ | hola | 00:30 |
| vonkleist | DaSkreech, I'm not saying I'm on a KDE3 environment | 00:31 |
| DaSkreech | vonkleist: Ah thought that's what you were saying | 00:31 |
| DaSkreech | NamShub: Change the priority | 00:31 |

| DaSkreech | It's not shipped with kdelibs4 ? | 00:35 |
| NamShub | yes ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu6 | 00:36 |
| boubbin | interpid must suck so bad with all these new kde things... | 00:37 |
| boubbin | no kcontrol etc. | 00:37 |
| W8TAH | boubbin, na -- kubuntu is great | 00:37 |
| boubbin | kubuntu is great i thank god hardy is LTS no hurry to upgrade... | 00:37 |
| W8TAH | intrepid is great too | 00:38 |
| W8TAH | im in the beta and love it | 00:38 |
| boubbin | i think i stay in hardy and test interpid on its own partition... | 00:38 |
| boubbin | yeah, whats really better in there? :P | 00:38 |
| boubbin | changelog gives me nothing. | 00:38 |
| boubbin | new kernel, new xorg, i dont need those | 00:38 |
| W8TAH | the UI is much improved -- the graphics rendering is 50% better than kde3 -- its very smooth and easy to use | 00:38 |
| boubbin | yeah in kde4 ? | 00:39 |
| W8TAH | fusion just works | 00:39 |
| W8TAH | the new network manager is smooth | 00:39 |
| boubbin | i also hate kde4 :P | 00:39 |
| DaSkreech | Why? | 00:39 |
| W8TAH | then i am wasting my time | 00:39 |
| boubbin | yeah. | 00:39 |
| NamShub | because he hasnt run it ;) | 00:39 |
| DaSkreech | likely but it's instructive to knwo | 00:39 |
| DaSkreech | know | 00:39 |
| boubbin | ive tryed 4.0 | 00:39 |
| boubbin | at t | 00:39 |
| boubbin | :/ | 00:40 |
| DaSkreech | 4.0 sucked but what didn't you like? | 00:40 |
| boubbin | it takes like a 4year for 4.0 to get to the position 3.5* is now... | 00:40 |
| boubbin | but well i have to go now... see ya and hope the 4.1 is really great | 00:40 |
| DaSkreech | 4.2 should be nice :) | 00:41 |
| DaSkreech | 4.3 should be better!! | 00:41 |

| bdizzle | hi, quick question | 00:43 |
| DaSkreech | quick answer | 00:44 |
| DaSkreech | Maybe | 00:44 |
| bdizzle | what is the command line phrase for uploading a file over ssh to a remote computer? | 00:44 |
| NamShub | the new kopete is much improve (ui-wise), konqueror is smoking fast, dolphin does the job, plasma is cool, kwin effects *are* pretty, kate is soo much better now (treeview for file browser in 4.2!), konsole is still great, the games now look gorgeous, runner (alt+f2) makes so much more sense... seriously whats not to like? ;) | 00:44 |
| NamShub | bdizzle: sftp source_file user@server.com:/path/target | 00:45 |
| bdizzle | ah, thank you | 00:45 |
| bdizzle | um, no, is there another one? | 00:46 |
| bdizzle | not sure if its ssh, though I'm pretty sure it is | 00:47 |
| NamShub | rsync -ave ssh source target | 00:47 |
| pookito | Good evening everyone | 00:47 |
| NamShub | ooh sorry not sftp | 00:47 |
| NamShub | scp | 00:47 |
| NamShub | :P | 00:48 |
| bdizzle | scp | 00:48 |
| bdizzle | yeah | 00:48 |
| pookito | I know that within 8 days the servers are going to be really busy for ubuntu upgrade. I would like to upgrade now, how can I do that? | 00:48 |
| bdizzle | ubuntu upgrade? | 00:48 |
| bdizzle | already? | 00:48 |
| pookito | please | 00:49 |
| NamShub | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu | 00:49 |
| NamShub | but there will be a lot of new packages to download until the final | 00:49 |
| NamShub | so Im not sure thats really a reason to upgrade now | 00:49 |
| NamShub | a good | 00:49 |
| pookito | so you are saying that I should wait a little longer? | 00:49 |
| pookito | not a problem | 00:50 |
| pookito | Thanks | 00:50 |
| NamShub | well its still beta | 00:50 |
| DaSkreech | NamShub: Have you seen QuickSand? | 00:50 |
| NamShub | DaSkreech: no what is it? | 00:50 |
| DaSkreech | pookito: YOu can do it now | 00:50 |
| DaSkreech | Then upgrade on Wednesday next week | 00:50 |
| DaSkreech | NamShub: More usable Krunner | 00:51 |
| pookito | Can I, I thought by now the next version was a little more stable | 00:51 |
| pookito | But I can wait | 00:51 |
| NamShub | Oh yea I think ive seen blog post... but its something you gotta try to really get the feel... | 00:51 |
| NamShub | its available? | 00:52 |
| pookito | gotcha | 00:52 |
| pookito | ;-) | 00:52 |
| DaSkreech | pookito: It's stable but they do tweaks so you get lots of new packages | 00:54 |
| DaSkreech | should slow down massively from tonight | 00:54 |
| pookito | understood | 00:54 |
| DaSkreech | NamShub: why do you need A KDE 3 konqueror | 01:02 |
| NamShub | I dont need a kde3 konqueror. I just want to alter kde3 settings | 01:02 |
| NamShub | konversation (kde3) opens links in quanta | 01:02 |
| NamShub | this is annoying (and makes no sense...) | 01:03 |
| bdizzle | what is the shortuct for renaming a file? | 01:03 |
| NamShub | F2 | 01:03 |
| bdizzle | no, on CLI | 01:03 |
| NamShub | mv :) | 01:03 |
| bdizzle | thanks | 01:03 |
| bdizzle | and to pull up processes list? | 01:06 |
| NamShub | top | 01:07 |
| NamShub | ps | 01:07 |
| bdizzle | k | 01:09 |
| bdizzle | I'm slowly trying to re-learn what I learned of command line over the summer | 01:09 |
| NamShub | print a cheat sheet | 01:09 |
| bdizzle | heh, pretty much | 01:10 |
| DaSkreech | !commands | 01:11 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:11 |
| bdizzle | and what is the command line name for OpenOffice Spreadsheet? | 01:13 |
| bdizzle | oocalc? | 01:14 |
| arrrghhh | so i installed intrepid. it seems pretty polished, but system settings doesn't run at all. how do i manually run it in the konsole so i can see what's wrong? | 01:18 |
| NamShub | systemsettings | 01:19 |
| bdizzle | when we upgrade to intrepid, do all of the settings automatically migrate, or do you have to do a fresh install? | 01:20 |
| bdizzle | I remember having problems with Hardy where it only gave me a partial install over Gutsy and I had to wipe and restart | 01:20 |
| arrrghhh | bdizzle, they migrate for the most part. depends on the settings i guess. | 01:25 |
| arrrghhh | nvm | 01:25 |
| arrrghhh | NamShub, says i don't have it installed...? | 01:26 |
| arrrghhh | there's kde-systemsettings and just systemsettings. i don't understand how i don't have a vital component such as system settings. the menu entry is there, but it does not run. | 01:26 |
| NamShub | weird. try reinstaling the package..? | 01:27 |
| arrrghhh | i'm assuming the package i want is systemsettings instead of kde-systemsettings? | 01:28 |
| NamShub | probably (i dont have kde-systemsettings installed and everything works fine) | 01:29 |
| NamShub | ii systemsettings 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu11 KDE 4 System Settings | 01:29 |
| arrrghhh | i don't get it. i can run systemsettings from the terminal now, but system settings link in the favorites menu still doesn't work. this is mind boggling. | 01:30 |
| arrrghhh | hrm. works from the computer menu. perhaps the link in favorites menu is borked. | 01:31 |
| freeksh0w86 | Where does Kate store its syntax files globally (not per-user)? | 01:39 |
| freeksh0w86 | oh wait i found it :/ | 01:40 |
| mike-solidus | hey, guys, i installed apache2 and php5 but i don't think php is bieng loaded in apache, how can i check? | 01:43 |
| NamShub | create an index.php with <? phpinfo(); ?> | 01:48 |

| dennister | dr_willis: do you know anything about this DRDY issue? what it means, for instance? I did google it, found ppl r were having this prob with hardy and not other versions, but I'm having it with gutsy's alternative cd too | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | DRDY? Never heard of ti. | 02:20 |
| dennister | can't seem to install because of it...stops at 33% of file system creation | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | This is on 8.04 or 8.10 ? | 02:22 |
| dennister | it was 8.04.1, but now there's the same problem with 7.1 | 02:22 |
| dennister | someone gave me a pentium 3 laptop, which was a lot better than my old p2 tecra, so I added more ram, swapped the hdd for a 40G one someone else had given me, installed the w2k no problem... | 02:24 |
| dennister | is the swap area raw disk space? | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | swap partition is a specific partition, | 02:26 |
| dr_willis | you use the mkswap command onit to 'format' it as swap space | 02:27 |
| dennister | dr_willis: yes, i know its a specific partition, but I was wondering how it was formatted, if at all | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | its formated as swap :) | 02:29 |
| dennister | ok...no way does this installation want to create any filesystem in this space...not even swap | 02:30 |

| genii | dennister: No, but they don't sound good | 02:55 |

| marcio | To depict the problem: Firefox is navigating, so as this IRC and skype... | 02:58 |
| dennister | well, i do have the original drive that came with the laptop...it's only 12G, so that's why I swapped it for this 40g one | 02:58 |
| dennister | back to the screwdriver room.... | 02:58 |

| DarkTan | I have an issue, during install, the software install failed. i now have a text ubuntu os | 03:08 |
| DarkTan | how do i got about getting KDE? | 03:09 |
| genii | marcio: Unfortunately I do not know the intricacies of it enough to effectively help you, other than what I have already suggested | 03:09 |
| powertool08 | DarkTan: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 03:09 |
| genii | DarkTan: First however do: sudo apt-get update | 03:09 |
| DarkTan | that will get to where it would had the install not failed? | 03:09 |
| genii | DarkTan: The install wants the CD, the package manager will use the internet to get it | 03:10 |
| DarkTan | ok | 03:10 |
| marcio | thanks, genii, my other notebook worked fine too, cant mean what s happening to this one... maybe the 64bit thing... | 03:10 |
| genii | marcio: Perhaps try install package ia32-libs it allows many 32 bit applications to work properly under 64bit install | 03:11 |
| genii | Firefox for instance | 03:11 |
| marcio | ops! that s new | 03:11 |
| marcio | wil try now | 03:12 |
| DarkTan | update didn't do anything, and installing "kubuntu-dekstop" asks for the cd | 03:12 |
| DarkTan | is this normal? | 03:12 |
| genii | powertool08: As far as I understand you need wlassistant. Then you can use something like iwconfig to issue the actual connection command | 03:13 |
| genii | DarkTan: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list then put a # before the line which has the cdrom entry. Then hit ctrl-x to exit, Y when asked to save changes and Enter key for same name to save it as. Then reissue the two commands previously given. | 03:14 |
| powertool08 | genii: thanks, you wouldn't happen to know if iwlist/iwconfig + wpa_supplicant is still the preferred connection method or if something newer/better is out would you? | 03:15 |
| genii | powertool08: Offhand no idea | 03:16 |
| DarkTan | um, well it's at 80% installing from the CD right now | 03:16 |
| DarkTan | make that 90 | 03:16 |
| genii | DarkTan: Well, might succeed yet then | 03:16 |
| DarkTan | i have been having strange issues lately | 03:16 |
| DarkTan | like the kernal panic last time | 03:16 |
| DarkTan | also: i did a complete install with no problems to a SCSI drive on a PCI SCSI card, when booting, i kept getting "No OS found." | 03:17 |
| DarkTan | could the fact that is is a Hot Swap PCI card from an old server? | 03:17 |
| genii | DarkTan: PErhaps your SCSI adapter is set to boot to a different SCSI ID number than the one to which you installed the system or grub to | 03:18 |
| DarkTan | well, there is only one drive | 03:18 |
| DarkTan | meh, whatever | 03:19 |
| DarkTan | can i remote control kubuntu from a windows PC? | 03:19 |
| genii | DarkTan: With the Seagate adapters you can usually use ctrl-A to gain the bios and check settings that way | 03:20 |
| DarkTan | yeah, I went through everything in there, couldn't get it to boot | 03:20 |
| DarkTan | yanked it, installed to IDE | 03:20 |
| DarkTan | 100gb is good enough for now | 03:20 |
| DarkTan | I fiddle with it later, or use it to fix my other server that won't allow an install | 03:21 |
| genii | DarkTan: Is the drive terminated? | 03:21 |
| DarkTan | i think so, it was working in the computer i took it out of, and would ty to boot to windows before i formatted it | 03:21 |
| genii | eg: Does it have the SCSI terminating resistors on it, or the cable which attaches it has another plug past it which has a SCSI terminator plugged into it | 03:22 |

| coreymon77 | yay! another netsplit! | 03:28 |
| * coreymon77 accidentally pressed the netsplit button again | 03:29 | |
| DarkTan | ok, went throgh the whole unpacking process, got one error at the end | 03:29 |
| \Kira | Grid Wars2's sound doesnt work unless im running compiz, but when I run compiz the superkaramba and kbfx apps flicker in and out making gameplay difficult and graphics annoying, but the game just isnt that entertaining without the sounds to match the flashy lights :) Any help? | 03:30 |
| DarkTan | Sub process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 03:30 |
| DarkTan | well, lets see if it works, How do i start the desktop from the command line? | 03:31 |
| genii | DarkTan: Further up in the scroll may be a better clue to exact failure | 03:31 |
| genii | DarkTan: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start or if kde4 then kdm-kde4 | 03:32 |
| DarkTan | i can't scroll | 03:32 |
| genii | DarkTan: shift-pageup usually in console does it | 03:32 |
| JoseBravo | All my GTK applications in KDE, including FireFox appears very ugly. How can I fix that? | 03:32 |
| DarkTan | crap, got a ton of errors | 03:32 |
| DarkTan | gonna try that other thing you said | 03:33 |
| genii | DarkTan: Want me to repost it? | 03:34 |
| DarkTan | i got it | 03:34 |
| genii | OK | 03:34 |
| genii | DarkTan: You have internet connectivity on the box yet? | 03:34 |
| DarkTan | i get "nano: command not found" | 03:34 |
| DarkTan | i think so, it went throgh the network setup during the install | 03:35 |
| genii | Hm | 03:35 |
| DarkTan | ya know this thing is kinda old, how might i install Xfce? | 03:36 |
| genii | DarkTan: nano should be on the cd. Try: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nano then the other instruction from before | 03:36 |
| martin_ | hi, Im having issues, while using nvidia-settings, I cant save my Xconfig | 03:36 |
| DarkTan | update is not checking the internet, only the CD | 03:37 |
| genii | DarkTan: Since nano should be able to install from cd hopefully we can get it then proceed to use it from there to edit the file | 03:41 |
| genii | Likely vi is there but a pain for new users | 03:42 |
| powertool08 | genii: vi isn't too terrible, I taught my classmate today and he was able to edit, save and quit within 10 minutes without problems | 03:42 |
| DarkTan | ok, will try, but might fall asleep before nano fnishes | 03:42 |
| powertool08 | genii: I'm a recent vi convert myself, I was wondering why backspace works on some machines and on others it gives me ^? | 03:44 |
| genii | powertool08: I think it's one of those settings in bashrc | 03:44 |
| nelsonstreet | Does anyone know exactly what the lowest ram is need for Kubuntu? | 03:45 |
| WTW1 | how do I work out what MTA is installed in kbuntu 8.10? | 03:45 |
| gcontrer | WTW1, the default MTA installed on Ubuntu is postfix | 03:45 |
| genii | It's usually exim and sendmail by default | 03:45 |
| gcontrer | uh? | 03:45 |
| gcontrer | :P | 03:45 |
| WTW1 | gcontrer thanks. that makes my life easier | 03:46 |
| nelsonstreet | Can I install Kubuntu on a machine with just 64 megs of ram | 03:46 |
| nelsonstreet | Its an old laptop I got here | 03:46 |
| gcontrer | genii, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix | 03:46 |
| dennister | genii: I'm still serious about getting that pxe install server going, hopefully with your help, but I'm going to wait a few weeks until intrepid comes out, possibly hose the one server I have left with intrepid (have everything transferred now, so no biggy), and start from scratch | 03:46 |
| WTW1 | I'm also having a problem with static ip on eth0. I've edited the interfaces file but the machine keeps grabing a dhcp address and I have no idea why. | 03:47 |
| gcontrer | nelsonstreet, I think you *can* install it, if you don't install KDE on it... :P | 03:47 |
| powertool08 | genii: ok, i'll check that out, thanks | 03:47 |
| \Kira | Grid Wars2's sound doesnt work unless im running compiz, but when I run compiz the superkaramba and kbfx apps flicker in and out making gameplay difficult and graphics annoying, but the game just isnt that entertaining without the sounds to match the flashy lights :) Any help? | 03:48 |
| gcontrer | WTW1, post your interfaces file on paste.ubuntu.com | 03:48 |
| === gcontrer is now known as vonkleist | ||
| dennister | nelsonstreet: I agree with gcontrer; it's going to be difficult because kde is the biggest pig for ram memory needs | 03:49 |
| vonkleist | nelsonstreet, may be you can go for ubuntu+windowmaker :P | 03:49 |
| vonkleist | I think xfce will not do better there... | 03:49 |
| dennister | you might want to start off with xfce/xubuntu first | 03:50 |
| genii | vonkleist: I am corrected on default MTA, apologies | 03:50 |
| nelsonstreet | I think I will just grade to more ram in it, I found another stic k of 128 | 03:50 |
| WTW1 | gcont http://paste.ubuntu.com/61327/ | 03:50 |
| dennister | nelsonstreet: much better :) | 03:50 |
| dennister | although kde really wants 256...xfce is still a good starting point | 03:51 |
| nelsonstreet | Thanks I will try that | 03:51 |
| CYREX | who here has tried the new kde 4.1.2 and what does he/she think about memory/cpu usage. On another note, who loves to stick with kde 3.5.10 rather than 4.x.x | 03:51 |
| WTW1 | is postfix installed by default or do I need to install it first? Also, does anyone know where to find instructions to set it up to use a forward relay? I have to deposit my mail in to my ISPs smtp server. | 03:51 |
| vonkleist | WTW1, I got to go... maybe someone else can help you... | 03:52 |
| nelsonstreet | I have and personally I thought it was a bug bag OS | 03:52 |
| vonkleist | WTW1, no daemons are installed by default on ubuntu | 03:52 |
| nelsonstreet | 4.1.2 that is | 03:52 |
| vonkleist | you have to install them | 03:52 |
| vonkleist | sudo apt-get install postfix | 03:52 |
| vonkleist | sudo kate /etc/postfix/main.cf | 03:52 |
| WTW1 | vonkleist thanks | 03:52 |
| vonkleist | look for the relay_host line and set it up according to what you need | 03:53 |
| vonkleist | given you don't need any authentication stuff | 03:53 |
| dennister | i prefer 3.5 too, but the kde team want to stop supporting 3.5, so we might as well get used to 4x | 03:53 |
| BluesKaj | I upgraded from 1 to 2G memory ...seems a bit faster | 03:53 |
| martin_ | i must be doing something wrong since i see no difference | 03:54 |
| dennister | installing the kernels always seems to take a long time :( | 03:54 |
| WTW1 | vonkleist thanks. I'm already using postfix on my clarkconnect box to do the same thing so i should be right. I just didn't know what I was looking for on the conf file as I use a gui on cc to configure the mta. | 03:54 |
| WTW1 | vonkleist what do you think of that interface file? I can't see any problems in it personally | 03:56 |
| vonkleist | WTW1, I neither | 03:56 |
| vonkleist | Maybe you have another process sending dhcp packets | 03:56 |
| WTW1 | vonkleist crap... that wasn't the answer I was looking for ;) | 03:56 |
| WTW1 | vonkleist all I've done so far is the basic install. I can't think what wold be firing off a dhcp request | 03:57 |
| WTW1 | vonkleist I did use the alternative iso though. I wanted raid1 | 03:57 |
| DarkTan | i have only one line in the sources, the CD drive | 03:57 |
| vonkleist | Got to go... good luck on that... | 03:57 |
| WTW1 | thanks for ya help | 03:58 |

| DarkTan | well, i try my xubuntu CD tommorow, right now: sleep. | 04:04 |
| DarkTan | thanks for the help | 04:04 |
| genii | seektherapy: Please,not all in uppercase! Also you have not yet stated what your issue is | 04:04 |
| martin_ | it only tells me what version of kubuntu i have, i want to know if KDE 4.1.2 was installed succesfuly | 04:04 |
| CYREX | @Martin - Just open any application for Kde then find the about of it | 04:05 |
| seektherapy | genii yes i did | 04:05 |
| CYREX | tipically the about of any kde app will tell you 2 things, one the version of the app and two the version of the kde | 04:05 |
| seektherapy | about 3 hours ago | 04:05 |
| seektherapy | and since then i have been trying to figure this out | 04:06 |
| genii | seektherapy: Please restate your issue so that those who have arrived in the past 3 hours may see if they can assist with it | 04:06 |
| martin_ | ok i dont get it i installed kde 4.1.2 but it still say 3.5.9 | 04:06 |
| genii | martin_: You need to explicity choose kde4 as your session type when logging in | 04:06 |
| seektherapy | sure....I am using kubuntu and my audio driver isnt working | 04:07 |
| genii | seektherapy: Please report the reulst of the command in Konsole of: lspci | grep Audio | 04:08 |
| seektherapy | huh | 04:08 |
| mr---t- | he meant results | 04:09 |
| genii | seektherapy: Open up the application which is called Konsole. Then in the application window of Konsole, type in: lspci | grep Audio and then tell us here what it says to you | 04:09 |
| martin_ | genii: I only have 3 choice default(previous), KDE witch i used but still loging in KDE3, and failsafe | 04:11 |
| seektherapy | trying to find it | 04:12 |
| seektherapy | i am new to linux | 04:12 |
| genii | martin_: Did you restart kdm since you did the kde4 install? | 04:12 |
| seektherapy | and i am leaning more towards windows after this | 04:13 |
| genii | seektherapy: Kmenu button ... System...Konsole | 04:13 |
| martin_ | genii: yes i installed last week | 04:13 |
| genii | seektherapy: Whichever operating system you use is up to you. Linux is not for everyone | 04:13 |
| seektherapy | i found this during my 3 hour wait | 04:14 |
| seektherapy | http://connect.creativelabs.com/linux/Lists/Driver Issues/AllItems.aspx | 04:14 |
| genii | martin_: By something like: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop or some other method? | 04:14 |
| guille | hi! | 04:14 |
| martin_ | genii: i used adept manager | 04:14 |
| guille | I have just install kde 4.1.2 and I start trying to get a lot of eye candy into it =) | 04:15 |
| genii | seektherapy: That url seems to be giving me a 404 error. However, you have some Soundblaster card? | 04:15 |
| guille | I got a little problem thougn, I can't no longer resize any window. is that a know problem? | 04:15 |
| genii | martin_: Hmm. Does: apt-cache policy kubuntu-kde4-desktop show it as installed? | 04:16 |
| martin_ | seektherapy: are you trying to install soundblaster with linux? | 04:16 |
| seektherapy | i dont have konsole | 04:16 |
| Agent_bob | i need an ssh guru to tell me what will cause this error message: ssh: connect to host 162.40.59.250 port 12222: Connection refused ? | 04:16 |
| Agent_bob | doesn't that mean that the box is "just saying NO" | 04:17 |
| genii | seektherapy: Do you see another application called "Terminal" ? | 04:17 |
| martin_ | genii: no iit dont, guess ill use apt-get | 04:17 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: did you use -vvv it gives debug info and will tell you where the connection fails | 04:17 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 good call. | 04:18 |
| seektherapy | yes an i am in it and it tells me | 04:18 |
| seektherapy | seektherapy@seektherapy-desktop:/$ | 04:18 |
| seektherapy | i used the command you gave me and nothing | 04:18 |
| guille | basically, I want to use compiz with kde-4.1.2; so far I got 2 problems when getting compiz to work with kde: windows can't be resized and the windows decoration is fixed to plastik ( even when ozone is selected ) | 04:18 |
| genii | seektherapy: OK. You are using regular Ubuntu then and not Kubuntu. But aside from this. What does: lspci | grep Audio tell you? | 04:18 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 problem is that the output doesn't change much. | 04:19 |
| powertool08 | guille: There is a resize option in ccsm that has to be checked to resize windows | 04:19 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: pastebin? | 04:19 |
| genii | seektherapy: OK, no result then from that command, just a return to command prompt? | 04:19 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 i can post in here. only three lines. | 04:20 |
| guille | powertool08: thanks! I'll check it now | 04:20 |
| seektherapy | yes | 04:20 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: ok | 04:20 |
| Agent_bob | debug1: Connecting to 162.40.59.250 [162.40.59.250] port 12222. | 04:20 |

| Agent_bob | ssh: connect to host 162.40.59.250 port 12222: Connection refused | 04:20 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: did you use all three v's? ie: ssh -vvv user@host gives more info than ssh -v user@host | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | but the output is same with -vv and -vvv | 04:21 |
| mr---t- | Agent_bob heya: | 04:21 |
| genii | Agent_bob: You specified in /etc/ssh/sshd_config the port as 12222 and restarted the ssh server? | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | mr---t- | 04:21 |
| Agent_bob | genii yes | 04:22 |
| genii | Agent_bob: ssh localhost -p 12222 works? | 04:22 |
| Agent_bob | genii yes | 04:22 |
| guille | powertool08: yeap... that did the trick =) thanks! | 04:22 |
| seektherapy | so genii i am assuming you dont know either | 04:22 |
| Agent_bob | also the refusel is instant. | 04:22 |

| guille | powertool08: do you know why when activating compiz on kde with desktop-effects-kde4 then the window decoration falls back to "plastik" and doesn't stick with the previously selected one ( "ozone" ) | 04:26 |
| bAgent_bo | powertool08 you did get my reply "it doesn't get to any form of auth" ? | 04:26 |
| powertool08 | guille: no, sorry, I don't use compiz | 04:27 |
| powertool08 | bAgent_bo: do you have the denyhosts daemon running? | 04:27 |
| bAgent_bo | powertool08 no. dont think so. | 04:27 |
| genii | marcio: Still kopete is not connecting to msn? | 04:28 |

| bAgent_bo | powertool08 hosts.deny is blank | 04:28 |
| marcio | hi genii: nope....not working yet... | 04:28 |
| marcio | and this is not my main concearn right now... | 04:29 |
| deftone | marcio: Use amsn | 04:29 |
| powertool08 | guille: I just use boring kde 3.5.10, I've changed the window decorations but nothing fancy, I'm trying to transition to a tiling window manager actually | 04:29 |

| marcio | hey nelson: | 04:31 |
| nelsonstreet | yup | 04:31 |
| seektherapy | it wont let me paste the damn code | 04:31 |
| marcio | got all your drivers to work properly? | 04:32 |
| DaSkreech | seektherapy: Just highlight it with the mouse then you can middle click to paste it | 04:32 |
| seektherapy | I did | 04:32 |
| nelsonstreet | yeah and the video, wifi everything works great | 04:32 |
| seektherapy | something is not right with my machine | 04:32 |
| nelsonstreet | But java is still a problem | 04:32 |
| genii | seektherapy: You can also try rightclick...paste method | 04:32 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: maybe change your sshd_config to the most basic config without any authentican and if that works add security back one step at a time? | 04:32 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 but that would affect ssh localhost too would it not. and localhost is fine. | 04:33 |
| marcio | damn...I have no wi-fi (atheros 5007), no mic, no bluetooh, and my ethernet adapter is working with a different driver.. | 04:33 |
| marcio | and still havent test the webcam | 04:34 |
| DaSkreech | seektherapy: does lshw -C Audio give you anything ? | 04:34 |
| powertool08 | Agent_bob: Could it be a firewall blocking it? | 04:35 |
| Agent_bob | there is something about the "remote ip"/isp that is throwing the error. | 04:35 |
| Agent_bob | powertool08 if it is it's not local. | 04:35 |
| nelsonstreet | oh the webcam err not working here either | 04:35 |
| guille | powertool08: I guess that will be Window Maker? I like very much KDE4 even when I end up using most of the time konsole =) | 04:35 |
| nelsonstreet | I tried both usb and firewire cams neither worked | 04:36 |
| genii | Agent_bob: The machine running sshd has an external IP ? | 04:36 |
| powertool08 | guille: window maker? | 04:36 |
| guille | powertool08: well, isn't window maker a window manager that provides tiling? | 04:37 |
| guille | powertool08: or what do you mean with tiling? | 04:37 |

| Agent_bob | genii and as you may have guessed that was another isp side reset of some kind, my ip just changed again. | 04:38 |
| CYREX | firefox sucks | 04:38 |
| seektherapy | How | 04:38 |
| CYREX | use internet explorer | 04:38 |
| genii | Agent_bob: I had a weird similar before which required modem to be in bridged mode with an intermediate router | 04:39 |
| marcio | at least someone knows how to make grub to recognize a different OS prevously installed? | 04:39 |
| CYREX | lol Joking | 04:39 |
| nelsonstreet | macrio: at least its not win**** | 04:39 |
| DaSkreech | seektherapy: Are you in KDE now? | 04:39 |
| CYREX | @Marcio - If you have not yet removed the previously installed partition then you can still detect it | 04:39 |
| genii | CYREX: If you have Kubuntu tech support question please ask it. Don't rant in ere, etc | 04:39 |
| powertool08 | guille: is window maker a tiling manager? I'm using awesome on my laptop. instead of having different windows you can drag around and cover others up with, when you do a certain key combo, it splits the screen in half into 2 terminals, then splits one terminal in half into 3 total across the screen and so on, so nothing is covered | 04:39 |
| seektherapy | i think so | 04:39 |
| marcio | nelson: sure it is not..but Iḿ still sadly linked to that desaster for a while,, | 04:40 |
| DaSkreech | seektherapy: What happens when you press Alt+Space ? | 04:40 |
| Agent_bob | genii but could you irc through it? and surf the web? and update the system? i'm doing all of that. just can't ssh | 04:40 |
| CYREX | @Genii - Am helping several people via private messages and while you have noticed that a lot come with frustrations in here every once in a while a joke is good | 04:40 |

| guille | powertool08: well... that sounds very interesting | 04:40 |
| marcio | Cyrex:can you pls tell me how do I find it on grub? | 04:41 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Specifically in this case... everything but ssh and the voip based telephones worked. Putting the router inbetween somehow worked for this (on advice of the tech support from the voip company) | 04:41 |
| seektherapy | katapult | 04:41 |
| genii | CYREX: Ok, yer forgiven :) Just looked like trolling at first | 04:41 |

| Agent_bob | genii i just examined the adsl modem again, it has one switch. power on/off ;/ | 04:43 |
| powertool08 | guille: here is a youtube video of xmonad, its similar to awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZAmMdRBRjs&feature=related | 04:43 |
| genii | Agent_bob: This modem was a Speedtouch 510, it had in web gui the option for bridged mode. Then the router was some cheap Dynex or so. Used it to do the pppoe login to ISP. Then assigned by MAC same internal IP to server and forwarded 22 to it | 04:44 |
| Agent_bob | windstream here ;/ | 04:44 |
| nelsonstreet | SMC static here | 04:44 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Has some web control panel? | 04:45 |
| martin_ | how can i change my Xorg.conf | 04:48 |
| martin_ | im sick of changing witch screen comes on when i boot in linux | 04:49 |
| powertool08 | martin_: edit it with kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf or other preferred editor | 04:49 |
| Mike804 | I have a sound issue anyone good with HDA intel or tascam USB? | 04:49 |
| genii | !intelhda | 04:49 |

| genii | bAgent_bo: Man, yer having terrible connection probs | 04:50 |
| powertool08 | martin_: You might want to make a backup copy before changing it, could leave you in a totally command line environment if something gets messed up | 04:50 |
| Agent_bob | genii yeah | 04:50 |
| george | Is there a Ubuntu/Kubuntu client optimized for gaming (running the least possible crap, bare minimum as processes are concerned.) | 04:50 |
| martin_ | powertool08: Im going to use what nvidia-settings wants to write but can't for some reason | 04:50 |
| genii | george: These are games you're running in wine or native linux games? | 04:51 |
| dennister | all done: kubuntu gutsy installed with dual boot on a compaq armada e500 :) and on a tiny 12G hdd | 04:51 |
| Agent_bob | genii i'm expecting that the isp is "krap" anything that starts with "win" throws red flags... | 04:51 |
| genii | Agent_bob: hehe, true | 04:51 |
| george | Included basic preinstalled applications (email client, I.M. Client, web client) none of the un-needed software | 04:51 |
| george | genii> both mostly native linux | 04:51 |
| DaSkreech | george: That would be failsafe on the Login Prompt | 04:52 |
| Mike804 | can someone walk me through getting sound? Otherwise I may as wekk dump Ubuntu | 04:52 |
| Mike804 | can someone walk me through getting sound? Otherwise I may as well dump Ubuntu | 04:52 |
| Agent_bob | i'm wondering if the modem is configured incorrectly but i don't know any username/passowrd for it. | 04:52 |
| george | DaSkreech: wont that load generic drivers? | 04:52 |
| DaSkreech | It'll load X with what ever drivers you told X to load and a Single Xterm thats it | 04:53 |
| genii | Mike804: Whichever operating you choose to use is your prerogative. Have you tried yet the instructions for your Intel HDA adapter that the bot had suggested, above? | 04:53 |
| DaSkreech | !sound | 04:53 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:53 |
| Mike804 | Genii: I would love to - but I am not even advanced enough to understand them | 04:54 |

| DaSkreech | >_< | 04:57 |
| Mike804 | How can I tell what version of ALSA I have - | 04:57 |
| powertool08 | martin_: just make a copy "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak" | 04:57 |
| martin_ | DaSkreech: not my system, I want to backup my xorg | 04:57 |
| DaSkreech | cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/orig.xorg.conf.bak | 04:58 |
| powertool08 | martin_: throw a sudo on the front of that or it will fail | 04:58 |
| martin_ | thats what i thought | 04:59 |
| DaSkreech | powertool08: Mine works :) | 04:59 |
| powertool08 | Or you can use DaSkreech's method, mine puts it in the same place as the original, DaSkreech's puts it in your home drive so no sudo needed | 04:59 |
| martin_ | i've used the sudo aproach | 05:00 |
| powertool08 | DaSkreech: I noticed ;) I tend to backup xorg's where they are though, not sure why... | 05:00 |
| DaSkreech | and keeps it in an annoying enough place that if the changes work you have reason to clean up after yourself | 05:00 |
| DaSkreech | !paste > seektherapy | 05:01 |
| ubottu | seektherapy, please see my private message | 05:01 |
| martin_ | wow now that i try to save kate crashed :( | 05:01 |
| powertool08 | martin_: so if you break your gui just use sudo mv xorg.conf.bak to xorg.conf and it will overwrite the b0rked config with your original | 05:01 |
| DaSkreech | martin_: did you open it with kdesudo ? | 05:02 |

| === john is now known as Guest28041 | ||
| powertool08 | martin_: I just meant that its kind of a hobby os, there will always be something you are trying to fix, not necessarily because its broken, just because you want to try it a different way | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | genii: ok so when lspci and lshw -C audio show nothing is that a hardware issue? | 05:08 |
| genii | DaSkreech: It could be a USB one | 05:08 |
| genii | But lshw shoulda showed that | 05:09 |
| genii | DaSkreech: Is it some onboard sound which could have accidentally been disabled in bios or so? | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | seektherapy: do You know what kind of sound card you have? | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | That's the next step I was looking at | 05:09 |

| Guest28041 | thanks daskreech | 05:11 |
| nelsonstreet | !java | 05:11 |
| ubottu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu !Dapper | 05:11 |
| martin_ | powertool08: i know and understand, but since day 1 4 months ago i've been trying to figure out this problems and finaly managed it | 05:11 |
| genii | DaSkreech: I find it amusing that at least those 2 other ubuntu english channels when everyone just ends up here that speaks english | 05:11 |
| martin_ | no one wanted to help me with this don['t know why | 05:12 |
| Guest28041 | is this the place to ask for help | 05:12 |
| nelsonstreet | !Multiverse | 05:12 |
| DaSkreech | and badly needed language channels aren't created :( | 05:12 |
| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 05:12 |
| mr---t- | !ask | 05:12 |

| genii | DaSkreech: I see it now. I'll snip and repastebin the relevant section | 05:16 |
| DaSkreech | Why would it not be exposing what the controllers are actually doing? | 05:16 |
| DaSkreech | genii: X-Fi ? | 05:18 |
| genii | DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/61351/ | 05:18 |
| genii | Yes | 05:18 |
| \Kira | How could I stop kubuntu from using a wireless device, but still have it enabled for a virtualbox OS to use? | 05:18 |
| DaSkreech | \Kira: Don't assign it an ip address? | 05:19 |
| genii | DaSkreech: "unassigned" usually means could not be given an interrupt | 05:19 |
| DaSkreech | You mean UNCLAIMED ? | 05:19 |
| genii | Hehe Maybe...it's getting late here and short on coffee | 05:20 |

| vonkleist | genii, java != javascript | 06:10 |
| vonkleist | genii, javascript != java applet | 06:11 |
| genii | vonkleist: Ah right I keep forgetting | 06:11 |
| nelsonstreet | monica do you happen to know what your wifi card is | 06:11 |
| monica0519 | how can i find out? | 06:11 |
| nelsonstreet | System. SysInfo | 06:11 |
| genii | vonkleist: java= language javascript = built-in old Netscape browser extensions | 06:11 |
| crashedata | Help please... I am using a laptop with both Gnome and KDE installed. I perfer KDE, but it only gives me about 10 minutes of battery time. On the same laptop, I get about 2 hours of battery time out of Gnome. | 06:11 |
| vonkleist | genii, not at all | 06:12 |
| vonkleist | genii, javascript is a language too | 06:13 |
| vonkleist | genii, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript | 06:13 |
| DaSkreech | crashedata: That's by far the widest margin of strange I've every heard | 06:13 |
| rogan | nelsonstreet: needed libdvdcss2 fyi | 06:13 |
| vonkleist | genii, read "Not to be confused with Java (programming language)." | 06:13 |
| genii | vonkleist: I recall vaguely something about Navigator pioneering it into html or so. But then again I'm exhausted at 1:13AM here without coffee | 06:13 |
| crashedata | I know. I am amazed that this could happen. Same laptop. I ran tests using both desktops, each with full battery when started. | 06:14 |
| nelsonstreet | monica0519: did you go to this web site : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:14 |
| crashedata | My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6000. I don't think that should matter though. | 06:14 |
| vonkleist | genii, javascript is heavely used today on almost every webpage you got... a lot more than java applets | 06:15 |
| monica0519 | nelsonstreet: yeah, i am dl'ing the restricted extras to see if that helps, what do you recommend? | 06:15 |
| vonkleist | genii, but well... it's not on channel's topic, so let cease this... :) | 06:16 |
| genii | vonkleist: Which makes me wonder about the poor woman who couldn't read her hotmails again ;) | 06:16 |
| monica0519 | i should add that the website is like chinese to me, lolz | 06:16 |

| crashedata | DaSkreech: I have tried everything I can think of to get it fixed, but nothing seems to be working. I even replaced the battery, and still the same problem. | 06:17 |
| genii | seektherapy: Yes, you have which EXACT model, do you know? Creative has beta linux drivers but specific model is needed to choose which driver | 06:17 |
| nelsonstreet | monica0519: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper/FAQ | 06:17 |
| DaSkreech | crashedata: Bring that up in #kde I've never heard of anything like that but maybe you have some crazy Superkarmab applet that's purpose is to test battery depletion that I've never heard of | 06:18 |
| seektherapy | i gave YOU that info | 06:18 |
| seektherapy | remember | 06:18 |
| monica0519 | yeah, i'm reading the info now ;) | 06:18 |
| genii | seektherapy: I'll scroll up and look | 06:18 |
| DaSkreech | seektherapy: There seems to be quite a number of those | 06:19 |
| genii | seektherapy: I went back 4 hours in scroll and i can definitely tell you that you did not relay to me the exact model of your X-Fi card | 06:20 |
| seektherapy | Creative Labs screws Linux users | 06:20 |
| genii | seektherapy: Did you try to private-message it to me? Because if so I would not have gotten the message if your username is not registered yet at Freenode | 06:21 |

| powertoo108 | JackWinter: try whereis kcmpureftpd | 09:06 |
| powertoo108 | JackWinter: usually the d on the end means daemon so you can probably control it with sudo /etc/init.d/kcmpureftpd {start|stop|restart} | 09:07 |

| zer0o | hi guys i use wicd, i dunno what ive done but i have three icons of wicd on the icon tray, how do i remove two of em just keeping one? thanks | 09:09 |
| JackWinter_ | powertoo108: it says that it's a kde control panel. then i don't have to edit files in /etc, no ? the problem is i don't know what the executable is called either :) | 09:10 |
| powertoo108 | zer0o: in a terminal run "ps aux | grep wicd" if you see 3 instances running then kill 2 of them | 09:10 |
| powertoo108 | JackWinter_: hmm the end "ftpd" looks like a ftp server | 09:11 |
| powertoo108 | JackWinter_: was it in the repos or did you compile it? | 09:12 |
| JackWinter_ | this is a kde inteface for setting up and controlling pure-ftp | 09:12 |
| JackWinter_ | powertoo108: it's from the repositories. that's why i'm suprised not being able to find it somewhere in kde :) | 09:13 |

| JackWinter_ | powertoo108: good idea :) | 09:14 |

| zer0o | powertoo108: but i think if i have 3 same icons on the tray at every boot it's because of this 3 files, so if i delete 2 of em one is gonna remain anyway | 09:25 |
| Kohl^Uni | Also, unloading the sounddriver via modprobe -r tells me that it is "still in use", though I shut down the ALSA soundserver and stopped all programs using sound | 09:25 |
| Kohl^Uni | This is on a laptop with a "hda-intel" soundchip | 09:26 |
| powertoo108 | zer0o: are all 3 icons equal? since the 3 scripts have different names I would guess that they have different functions | 09:26 |
| powertoo108 | zer0o: I wouldn't delete them just yet, maybe you could rename them or move them to another directory and see if they still start and if not did you lose any functionality, then if everything still works delete them | 09:28 |
| zer0o | i can always like backup them before removing and then boot 2-3 times and c if it works | 09:30 |

| Woody86 | powertool08 - I don't think it would be worth it to build a $1200 rig, and use it in CLI, though :D | 10:07 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: Just take small tasks, try it both ways, some are better gui, some are much faster with cli, the file management commands are a good place to start, then move to editing config files in a terminal | 10:08 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: I also use sudo aptitude install <package> over synaptic | 10:08 |

| powertool08 | Woody86: links is text and links with the -g switch is a lightweight gui version | 10:12 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: actually its kind of a hybrid, it does graphics but to open a page you push "g" and it opens a box to enter the url and you can use it with or without the mouse | 10:13 |
| assa9er__ | i wwant to enter to other chanels? | 10:13 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - hmm.... I may have to give it a try :) see how it works | 10:13 |
| powertool08 | assa9er__: type "/join #<channelname> | 10:14 |
| powertool08 | " | 10:14 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: awesome, you may find you like it better :) | 10:14 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - hopefully, I'm a minimalist at heart, so it might just work out :) | 10:15 |
| assa9er__ | "join #help | 10:15 |
| assa9er__ | "join #help" | 10:15 |
| assa9er__ | "/join #help" | 10:15 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: hopefully, I enjoy minimalism but I also recognize there is a difference between being lightweight and efficient and doing it for the sake of claiming minimalism | 10:16 |
| powertool08 | assa9er__: no "" | 10:16 |
| Woody86 | assa9er__ - try it without the quotes "" | 10:16 |
| powertool08 | assa9er__: sorry, I didn't mean to confuse, I meant it as type whats in the quotes | 10:16 |
| assa9er__ | yes thanks it works now | 10:17 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - ah, very true, the "when is enough enough" conundrum | 10:17 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: Really the only thing that truly makes cli so difficult is that its a lot of memorization of key combos which relate to specific commands | 10:18 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: with a gui you don't have to read man pages you just look around for a minute until you find the button/menu/etc you're looking for | 10:19 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - yeah, that's one thing I've notced, too. It seems like everytime I try to use the CLI I forget what command to use, and then try to google it, and then give up and do it in a gui :) | 10:19 |
| Woody86 | but then again, I've always been a very visual learner my entire life, so it fits a little better for me | 10:19 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: almost every terminal command has the -h or --help switch and will give some insight to the options which go with the command, if that doesn't help "man whatever command you want to run" will tell you more, if its not there, there's google and irc, or the gui version | 10:20 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: I've also come to love screen, i can start irssi with screen, go somewhere else, ssh into my box and detach the session from the terminal and attach it wherever i am, then i can talk and its like i never left my room | 10:21 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - heh, well i defiantly want to become more proficient with the cli, so I guess there is no better way than to just use it | 10:22 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: or whenever X crashes programs running in screen don't close | 10:22 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - that's pretty neat | 10:23 |
| Woody86 | why use screen instead of just installing and using irssi from the computer you're on? | 10:23 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: yep, you grab screen from aptitude and the instead of running $ irssi, run $ screen -S irssi irssi which is -S <- give the session a name <session name> <command to run> | 10:24 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: screen is kinda like a container, irssi runs inside of it | 10:24 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: then you can detach it with ctrl+a then release and hit d, then it goes back to the terminal prompt but irssi is still running | 10:26 |
| Woody86 | yeah, but what are the advantages of using screen rather than just installing irssi onto the computer you're on? | 10:26 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: say I go to my university's computer lab, its a windows box and i want to run some program that won't run on windows (i think irssi has a windows version) | 10:27 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: I can use putty to ssh to my box at home, normally if irssi was running when i left I would have to start a new instance, or kill the process then start a new instance, with screen, i just detach it from my home desktop, reattach to my current putty session, i can scroll up and see whats been said since i left my house or whatever else | 10:29 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - ah, I see. Luckily the only time I'm away from my main rig, I have one of my 2 laptops with me, so I don't think I'd ever have a reason to ssh, but that's pretty cool :) | 10:29 |
| powertool08 | and since I have 4 programs I always have running, i can start them all, detach them and close my terminal windows so i don't have to minimize them while i don't work in them | 10:30 |
| nelsonstreet | kewl K3B works pretty good as a burner | 10:31 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - well that's pretty cool. Is there any way to get files off your home computer? That might be something I may need one day | 10:31 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: yes, you can use scp, i haven't quite mastered that one yet, i tried to copy a file from my school account back here but it couldn't find the directory on the school computer | 10:32 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - is that a program? | 10:32 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: but its basically scp user1@host1:file1 user2@host2:file2 | 10:32 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: yes, it probably has a gui frontend as well | 10:33 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: and I think at least one has to have a ssh server and the other can get away with just the client | 10:34 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - what's an ssh server? | 10:35 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: secure shell, its like telnet but encrypted | 10:35 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: so basically its remote login but you only get a command prompt | 10:36 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - ah, and I need a server for it? I can't just go from someone else's home network to my home network? | 10:37 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: it can also do x forwarding to do graphical stuff but i'm not sure how it works with a windows computer | 10:37 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - oh, and I found secpanel, which is a gui for ssh and scp | 10:37 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: well if you run an ssh server on your home box, then you can go to your friends house and log in to yours either with the ssh user@host command from linux or with putty from windows | 10:38 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: but its also a nice open doorway for hackers if improperly configured so if you look into it I'd suggest publickey authentication with a passphrase on your private key file, ssh v2 only, no root logins, no keyboard interactive logins | 10:39 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: and if you know you'll only use it at certain places you can tell it to only allow certain ip's, but i left mine open because i never know where i'll be when i decide to use it, oh, and i don't run it on the default port of 22 either | 10:40 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - so is this the same process for scp? or is it different? | 10:41 |
| powertool08 | changing the port helps alot with protecting against automated scans/attacks | 10:41 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: i'm not sure... I set up ssh before I found scp so it might be required | 10:42 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - hmm... well thanks for the tips :D I'm going to have to do a little research on this | 10:42 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: I'm thinking you have to have the ssh server to do scp | 10:43 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: looks like there's a program out there called scponly which doesn't allow the shell access | 10:46 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: There is also sftp but I don't know anything about that | 10:46 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - so I could get files, and not have the extra security risk of the ssh being open? | 10:47 |
| ZmAY | hello, how do i install .package file | 10:47 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: possibly, however the link right below it is scponly: Multiple vulnerabilities — Gentoo Linux Documentation so you might want to check that out first before implementing | 10:48 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: what program is it? | 10:48 |
| ZmAY | amsn | 10:48 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - haha, always a good sign ;) | 10:48 |
| ZmAY | amsn-0.97.2-1.tcl85.x86.package | 10:49 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: although ssh has had tons of vulnerabilities over the years as will any heavy used remote login program | 10:49 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: they are discovered, patched, upgraded, etc so as long as you keep up with it its safe | 10:50 |
| Woody86 | powertool08 - very true | 10:50 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: try sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.package | 10:51 |
| ZmAY | dpkg-deb: `amsn-0.97.2-1.tcl85.x86.package' is not a debian format archive | 10:52 |
| ZmAY | dpkg: error processing amsn-0.97.2-1.tcl85.x86.package (--install): | 10:52 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: you know there is amsn in the repo's I think its the same think you're wanting sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install amsn | 10:54 |
| assa9er__ | i want to install a messanger soft can someone tell me tthe est one? | 10:54 |
| ZmAY | on this old pc i use 6.06, how do i update repos, i mean, if i install it that way it installs old version | 10:55 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: if not since dpkg didn't handle it you'd probably have to use a program called alien, I don't know how to use it just that it exists | 10:55 |
| powertool08 | assa9er__: pidgin is a good multi-protocol messenger, it does aim, msn, yahoo, irc | 10:56 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: well you can update your /etc/apt/sources.list to pull from hardy repo's, but if you do sudo aptitude dist-upgrade it will try to upgrade you to feisty, then gutsy, then hardy so be mindful not to do that unless you really want to | 10:57 |
| assa9er__ | tthanks powertoo108 | 10:57 |
| powertool08 | assa9er__: np | 10:57 |
| ZmAY | noop, i just want repo's to be upgraded, is that possible, without upgrading distro | 10:59 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: if thats not an option i'd look into building from source if you're up to it, or trying to find a .deb file which will install with the dpkg -i | 10:59 |
| powertool08 | ZmAY: yes, if you edit the /etc/apt/sources.list it will give you programs from the newest repo's, its just dangerous because it opens the possibility to do the full distro upgrade | 11:00 |
| ZmAY | ok thanks, i won't risk | 11:00 |
| powertool08 | Woody86: it was nice talking to you, I'm off to bed for real this time | 11:02 |

| wolfjb | Hello, I'm starting to develop an application for myself and was trying to setup kdevelop. I thought to get the kdeapi docs installed, and so installed kdelibs5-doc which, I thought, would actually give me documentation - but it doesn't is there a package that I can install for the kde api docs (especially that I could import into kdevelop?) | 19:40 |
| wolfjb | I've tried techbase.kde.org, but it seems to assume that you have downloaded the source for both kde and qt and have setup specific users, etc. I'd just like to use the packages that come with kubuntu | 19:41 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: link? | 19:41 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Set_up_KDE_4_for_development#KDevelop | 19:42 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: i'll have a look, but one way is to simply go to kde:kapplication etc in konqueror | 19:44 |
| axel_ | wolfjb: Thank you for your effort but I didn't do that. I Just use the compiled Kontact-/ QT-Packages that come with Kubuntu. | 19:45 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: hmm, kdelibs5-doc contains nothing! | 19:45 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: it's a useless package | 19:45 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: yep | 19:46 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: might be worth filing a bug | 19:46 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: ok | 19:46 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: I think that means that the doxygen documentation isn't there then | 19:46 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: you could try 'kassistant' (comes with kdevelop iirc) | 19:47 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: but anyway most people just use the website :-) | 19:47 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: just do alt+f2 and type kde:klineedit into | 19:48 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: just do alt+f2 and type kde:klineedit | 19:48 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: I could just use the website, but thought it would be nice to have in kdevelop | 19:48 |
| emilihouse | what is the program to extract file.rar | 19:48 |
| JohnFlux | emilihouse: command line wise, there's unrar | 19:48 |
| JohnFlux | emilihouse: apt-get install unrar | 19:48 |
| JohnFlux | emilihouse: then: unrar x file.rar | 19:49 |
| JohnFlux | emilihouse: there's probably a gui way to do it too | 19:49 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: neither kassistant nor klineedit work, tried from the console, which often suggests packages to install for missing pgms, but not this time | 19:49 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: if you go to konqueror and type: kde:klineedit does that work? | 19:50 |
| emilihouse | ok I understand | 19:50 |
| emilihouse | thank you | 19:50 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm having a damn hell ass of a time repartitioning this hard drive | 19:50 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: yep that works. that is kinda cool | 19:50 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: klineedit is just a random kde class | 19:51 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: kde:kapplication etc | 19:51 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: are you sure you actually tried what I said? :) | 19:51 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: press alt+f2 and type kde:klineedit | 19:51 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: Ah, didn't do the kde: part, I just typed the klineedit... my ba | 19:51 |
| wolfjb | s/ba/bad | 19:51 |
| JohnFlux | ah okay :) | 19:51 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: also you can do qt:qlineedit for the qt docs :) | 19:52 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: cool, thanks for the tips | 19:52 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: to be honest, you'll probably be reading the qt docs a lot more than the kde ones anyway | 19:52 |
| xico | hi ppl | 19:52 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: now, I just have to learn kde/qt again - haven't done anything with it since kde2 | 19:53 |
| JohnFlux | Riddell: as wolfjb found out, kdelibs5-doc is pretty much an empty package. presumably something went wrong when building it | 19:53 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: I thought the kde api was the way to go for cross platform issues ? | 19:53 |
| xico | bye | 19:54 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: it's nothing to do with cross platform | 19:55 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: there's a few classes that you should use the kde versions of, but mostly it's just a few differences | 19:55 |
| JohnFlux | wolfjb: use kapplication instead of qapplication, etc. but anyway, 95% of your code will be with qt classes :) | 19:56 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: alrighty, thanks for the info | 19:57 |
| lacero | please...someone help me with atheros ar5005 driver... | 19:57 |
| Riddell | JohnFlux: yes that looks broken | 20:00 |
| wolfjb | JohnFlux: Riddell: I'd file a bug, but I'm not sure how to do it, I don't see anything on the FAQ or in the community & support section to indicate where I should go from the kubuntu.org website | 20:02 |

| deitarion | My brother's freshly-installed computer has an RTL8111/8186 onboard NIC and, according to Google results, I have to build and install the driver. However, for some reason, my Hardy setup builds a .ko which is incompatible with his... and I can't build on his without downloading the kernel headers... which I can't do because the NIC isn't working. | 22:30 |
| deitarion | Solution? | 22:30 |
| vonkleist | deitarion, for some reason, the modules format for 2.6.x kernel is .ko | 22:31 |
| === maarten_ is now known as m7654 | ||
| deitarion | vonkleist: You must be misunderstanding me. Both computers run Hardy. One needs a NIC driver. The other builds an incompatible one and I can't build on the one that needs the driver because it can't download the dependencies. Solution | 22:31 |
| deitarion | I'm assuming the incompatibility stems from kernel upgrades which were pushed out since the Kubuntu Hardy install CD was finalized. | 22:32 |
| brian_ | I need to remove all options from the shutdown menu other than Logoff for a group of users | 22:33 |
| deitarion | Is there a way to make apt-get generate a list of required packages I can manually copy over from another computer using SneakerNet? | 22:34 |
| dekkong | hello can anyone help me with elisa media center? | 22:34 |
| dekkong | how can I get elisa to locate files that are on a different partition? | 22:34 |
| dekkong | the default search path for videos is /home/video | 22:35 |
| vonkleist | deitarion, can't get why getting a .ko module isn't compatible with hardy | 22:36 |
| vonkleist | but, yes | 22:36 |
| deitarion | vonkleist: Apparently it depends on symbols which were added to the kernel since the version distributed on the install CD. | 22:37 |
| vonkleist | if they have a different kernel version, it will be incompatible | 22:37 |
| vonkleist | but it's not because of the .ko format, but because of being a different kernel version | 22:37 |
| deitarion | I *KNOW*. | 22:37 |
| vonkleist | may be you can boot up to the same kernel version on the other PC and try to compile that | 22:38 |
| deitarion | I use Gentoo every day. All I need to know is how to make apt-get not fight me! | 22:38 |
| deitarion | vonkleist: My Kubuntu system doesn't have that kernel version anymore. | 22:38 |
| vonkleist | deitarion, it's an ugly solution, but what if you install a virtual machine with the same Kubuntu version from your brother's computer and compile from it? | 22:40 |
| deitarion | vonkleist: That'd take FAR too long. | 22:40 |
| deitarion | It'd be quicker to run upstairs and down alternating between checking what apt-get is trying to retrieve and manually copying it with a thumbdrive! | 22:40 |
| deitarion | Aha! I finally thought to use SneakerNet OR "Sneaker Net" in a google search and I found what I was looking for. | 22:42 |

| deftone | hey TimS, does ubuntu have a repo for xbmc? | 23:28 |

| deftone | no | 23:30 |

| TimS | http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main | 23:30 |
| TimS | Thats what I have | 23:30 |
| Meeso_OS | :D | 23:30 |
| Meeso_OS | I installed kubuntu via wubi :D | 23:31 |
| TimS | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main | 23:31 |
| TimS | even | 23:31 |
| Meeso_OS | ? | 23:31 |
| TimS | Not for you :p | 23:32 |
| TimS | Never tried Wubi | 23:32 |
| Meeso_OS | heh | 23:32 |
| conanius | tim, has anyone written something for ubuntu for it to act as a media extender, ala a 360? | 23:32 |
| Meeso_OS | I tried the regular install | 23:32 |
| Meeso_OS | it didnt work | 23:33 |
| Meeso_OS | I mean | 23:33 |
| Meeso_OS | it did | 23:33 |
| Meeso_OS | but when I rebooted | 23:33 |
| TimS | conanius: Yes. ushare | 23:33 |
| Meeso_OS | the little bar at the bottom wasnt there | 23:33 |
| Meeso_OS | :/ | 23:33 |
| TimS | It takes a bit of setting up | 23:33 |
| TimS | Not sure I remeber how | 23:33 |
| conanius | no. fucking. way. I cant get flash as I have ubuntu 64. | 23:34 |
| TimS | conanius: Once installed I think you run ushare -x (for xbox mode) then the ip address of the network, but I remeber theres a config file for it, where you can set the network and device, | 23:34 |
| TimS | conanius: Watch the language. And you should be able to | 23:34 |
| conanius | oops, sorry | 23:35 |
| Meeso_OS | hey, if I got a PCI wireless card to work on ubuntu, will it work on kubuntu? | 23:35 |
| conanius | according to the adobe site, they only do it for x86 | 23:35 |
| Meeso_OS | heres the card http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=PC60G&class=com | 23:35 |
| TimS | http://www.daryl.mu/2008/01/12/howto-install-flash-9-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-64-bit/ | 23:35 |
| TimS | or this one may be better http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html | 23:36 |
| TimS | It does it for you if you issue two commands. | 23:36 |
| TimS | Meeso_OS: It should do, yes | 23:36 |
| Meeso_OS | heh | 23:36 |
| TimS | Ubuntu and Kubuntu have the same base, its just bits of the front end that are changed. | 23:36 |
| Meeso_OS | ok | 23:37 |
| vit | is there a plugin missing in kubuntu's krita that keeps it from reading/saving .psd files? I talked to the krita folks and they said for me to pester kubuntu about it | 23:37 |
| TimS | conanius: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-632428.html | 23:39 |
| TimS | Thats about ushare | 23:39 |
| === giuseppe is now known as Guest42816 | ||
| TimS | And explains how to set it up. | 23:39 |
| Meeso_OS | if a low end comp can run windows XP (I'm spreading the kubuntu love around the house :D) can it run kubuntu? | 23:39 |
| TimS | vit: I cant seem to be able to open them | 23:40 |
| TimS | Let met install the plugins package and see | 23:40 |
| vit | TimS: me either; option isn't there, but everything I read says it's possible with GraphicsMagic | 23:40 |
| conanius | Tim, ive just downloaded ushare, and im clearly being a bit of an idiot | 23:41 |
| conanius | gone to the command line and done ushare -x | 23:41 |
| conanius | but it says... | 23:41 |
| conanius | conanius@conanius-laptop:~$ ushare | 23:41 |
| conanius | Error: no content directory to be shared. | 23:41 |
| TimS | vit: Odd. The plugins did nothing to help. I am using the kde3 version, do the krita guys say its only kde4? | 23:42 |
| TimS | conanius: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-632428.html | 23:42 |
| vit | TimS: same thing here with kde4, but they didn't say which version and I didn't tell them what I was using | 23:42 |
| TimS | They explain how to set up the config file for it, this shows you how to put the default interface and directory | 23:43 |
| TimS | vit: Oh, that sucks. | 23:43 |
| Meeso_OS | if a low end comp can run windows XP (I'm spreading the kubuntu love around the house :D) can it run kubuntu? | 23:43 |
| TimS | Meeso_OS: Generally, yes. | 23:43 |
| Meeso_OS | :D | 23:43 |
| Meeso_OS | ok | 23:43 |
| vit | so TimS would it be simplest for me to file a bug? | 23:44 |
| TimS | Possibly, but it depends what file you were editing, some might not be editable I guess | 23:44 |
| TimS | Meeso_OS: Try a live cd to see if its compatible | 23:44 |
| TimS | It may have issues with old hardware | 23:44 |
| Meeso_OS | ok | 23:45 |
| TimS | vit: It appears it has pdf from 2006 | 23:45 |
| basy | TimS: thanks for that xset tool help | 23:45 |
| Meeso_OS | well | 23:45 |
| Meeso_OS | its an office PC | 23:45 |
| Meeso_OS | it can run word smoothly lol | 23:45 |
| Meeso_OS | >_> | 23:45 |
| TimS | basy: You may need to put the command in your .session file as otherwise you will have to issue it each time you start up | 23:46 |
| conanius | ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... this isnt doing what I was expecting tim | 23:46 |
| conanius | I meant the other way round! | 23:46 |
| TimS | Ohhhh! | 23:46 |
| conanius | as in, have an interface on the ubuntu PC so I can see the stuff on my media centre :D | 23:46 |
| dand | what is the meaning of this message? | 23:46 |
| TimS | Wheres your media center? Different PC? | 23:46 |
| dand | configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check | 23:46 |
| dand | See `config.log' for more details. | 23:46 |
| dand | while i'm running ./configure | 23:47 |
| conanius | yeah, its on the windows vista ultimate machine downstairs | 23:47 |
| TimS | Okay | 23:47 |
| TimS | I *think* xbmc can do that, | 23:47 |
| powertool08 | dand: Looks like your c++ libraries went insane :P | 23:48 |
| dand | yeah but what should i do? | 23:48 |
| powertool08 | dand: do you have gcc installed? | 23:50 |
| powertool08 | dand: or maybe you need build-essential http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305593 | 23:52 |
| TimS | I was about to suggest checking for build-essential | 23:53 |
| dand | yes gcc is installed | 23:54 |
| dand | what are build essentials? | 23:56 |
| powertool08 | dand: sudo aptitude install build-essential | 23:56 |
| powertool08 | dand: its all the tools need to compile stuff | 23:57 |
