[00:00] powertool08: thank you :-D [00:00] np [00:01] can any problems arise from trying ubuntu over vista on an emulator? [00:02] It depends on the emulator [00:02] I'm having trouble installing virtualbox. The build failed for the kernel module. and "No suitable module for running kernel found." The installer suggested I install the sources from my kernel, I literally have everything "2.6.24-21" installed under adept. I guess that doesn't include source? how do install 2.6.24-21 source? vbox-install.log [00:04] tim, its a shame you cant use itunes in ubuntu [00:11] conanius: have you tried rythmbox ? [00:12] help! [00:12] zerothis, im sure conanius may not find rhythmbox very relavent as he is not trying to play music he is trying to run a vurtual machine [00:12] ive installed ATI drivers, but my image is 640x480 [00:12] oh, sorry [00:14] conanius, this should work for you http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualbox_ubuntu [00:17] oobe, how do you kill stuck apps in ubuntu [00:18] i need to install a few things through package manger. can somene help me install one so i know the process? [00:25] conanius, from console you type kill PID or killall process name [00:25] if it still wont work try kill -9 or killall -9 [00:26] PID stands for process ID [00:26] if you dont know how to find out the pid you can look for it by typing "ps aux | grep mplayer " [00:27] thats an example if you wanted to find out the pid of mplayer === mitanef__ is now known as fidel === fidel is now known as robotin === robotin is now known as mitanef__ === mitanef__ is now known as kubuntu-es [00:32] why isn't the #kubuntu+1 chat showing up? Is it still around? [00:32] Think there's only #ubuntu+1 [00:32] Dragnslcr - oh, ok thx [00:32] i just joined it it redirectd me to that channel [00:33] would I be better off asking questions about 8.10 here, or in #ubuntu +1? [00:34] i dont like it when people ask questions and dont know how to understand the answers if you mention the console [00:35] :P [00:36] are you referring to cononius? [00:37] Can anyone help me try to get the proper screen resolution in Kubuntu 8.10? [00:37] hmm set it in xorg.conf [00:38] ghostcube - it's that simple? my monitor came with an "installation" disc that I had to use under Windows [00:39] u only need the resolution what grafic card is this ? [00:39] ghostcube - MSI NX8600GT (Nividia) [00:40] just open nvidia-settings [00:40] Woody86, its a general observation [00:40] oobe - ah, I see :D [00:40] but yeah conanius made me think of it [00:40] Woody86: to let nvidia-settings save the org.conf file u must run it with sudo [00:40] oobe - but you actually expect people to know what the console is?!?! Outrageous! :P [00:41] its easier to tell ppl how to do things on console [00:41] oobe: not to answer != not understanding [00:41] only for info [00:41] is there a fix yet for 3d acceleration on the intel gm965 yet ? [00:42] and there is less chance of an error [00:42] so sudo kate the file? [00:42] deftone, yes but an nvidia card :P [00:42] Woody86: just open nvidia-settings [00:42] Woody86: sudo nano in a terminal ;) [00:42] and set it u want if u want it to be saved in xorg u must run sudo nvidia-settings [00:43] ah, ok :) [00:43] I'm re-installing Kubuntu right now, so I'll give it a try as soon as this damn thing works, thanks! [00:44] inteprid ? [00:44] yup :) [00:44] ok the 173 repo drivers should work fine th 177.80 is a bit buggy [00:44] ok, thx :) [00:45] yeah I noticed the 177 didn't want to do anything when I tried to install it :( [00:53] if i have a 30 GB drive as my system drive, and a 200 GB drive added for additional storage, is there a typical directory that's typically used to mount permanent storage under? [01:00] jimmy51_home: mine is mounted under /media/, /mnt/ is available as well, or you can put it wherever you want [01:00] ok [01:00] i put it under ~/Storage [01:00] jimmy51_home: As long as you know where to find it, then its a good place :) [01:06] <_2> does anyone know why a manufacture might put a choke on an ide cable ?

[01:50] :\ [01:51] i have 3.5 [01:51] heh [01:51] I like gnome though :D [01:51] anti-fail [01:51] oh lol [01:51] I has my ubuntu CD !!! [01:51] I kept it :D [01:51] well then there u go [01:51] I tried 4...it crashed alot...i went back to 3.5...I hope its better now :) [01:51] wootage :D [01:51] Gnome was good until it didn't like my laptop keyboard :) [01:52] and just didn't use it... [01:52] gnome looks like crap [01:52] kde seems to support more drivers and such [01:52] gnome was good before around kde 2 [01:52] 3.5 [01:52] gnome looks like it as an abandoned project [01:52] over 5 years ago [01:52] gnome is pretty sexy...in parts...but i still always use kde :) [01:53] ditto [01:53] :/ [01:53] I like gnome :D [01:53] <_2> twm for the win [01:53] gnome is good if kde never existed and even then it's still annoying [01:54] gnome is good if your trying to make kde look good [01:54] hmm [01:54] mmh [01:55] haha [01:56] What's a good dock applet to use? [01:56] <_2> gnome is good for offtopic discussions [01:56] I have a kubuntu system currently dualbooting with a windows box. I'd like to image it somehow so that i can get it onto a VM since i intend to do a wipe and reinstall when intrepid comes out, but don't want to have too much disruption... if i just imaged and restored the linux partition, how hard would it be for me to restore the bootloader? [01:57] faileas, why not just use the update tool in adept? [01:57] <_2> faileas grub is an easy fix. [01:58] <_2> !grub | faileas [01:58] faileas: 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 [01:58] gm04030276: well amongst other things, if things go wrong, i want to be able to access the system. I also want a fresh install of XP [01:58] lol ok [01:58] well, you can image the whole drive using the dd command... [01:58] (and i don't need to suffer withdrawal from my nicely tuned set up) [01:58] when updating to the new version, how do u get it to unistall unused packages [01:58] before installing windows you should always backup your mbr "dd if=/dev/hda of=/mymbr.bin size=512 count=1" [01:58] then in case of emergency you can always copy it back [01:59] qara...it should do that automatically... [01:59] I'm using g4l for that. i just don't want to virtualise te windows partition to save space [01:59] cause windows is like an old school virus that without asking hijacks your mbr [01:59] i hope so [02:00] <_2> mole___ just an fyi size=512 is redundant. 512 is the default [02:00] qara, you should see it saying something like install 500 update 300 remove 200 (highly guessed numbers!) [02:00] qara and prepare to wait a few hours :) [02:00] _2: there u go then [02:01] another question, do i need the same version of ubuntu, or can i use a newer one, to fix grub? [02:01] <_2> any [02:01] you should be able to chroot into your own linux just with the bootcd's kernel then just use your version of grub to fix it [02:01] (i think) [02:01] lol ok as long as it keeps things clean [02:01] neat [02:02] what does red text mean? [02:02] danger [02:04] * nelsonstreet time to fall asleep [02:04] qara: its just to highlight that someone has sent a message with your name in ti [02:05] A private message [02:06] <_2> faileas did you read the page on fixing grub that the bot posted to you ? [02:07] gm04030276: ok [02:07] <_2> red text? [02:07] was that red? [02:08] <_2> red text? [02:08] _2 yea [02:08] qara: yes...as is this [02:08] lol i see [02:08] RED [02:09] <_2> that is irc client dependant you do know. [02:09] are you high? [02:09] no im doing homework but not rly [02:09] <_2> looks black to me. [02:09] [02:10] [02:10] [02:10] [02:10] [02:11] <_2> anyway to add an ip to listen on while sshd is running ? or does it require a reset ? [02:11] <_2> s=anyway=any way= [02:12] <_2> or even better, how to make ssh listen to all ip's ? [02:14] <_2> ah maybe omitting "ListenAddress" will do it. [02:15] i've mounted a partition under /home/jimmy/Storage, but as user jimmy i can't write to it [02:15] how can i set it such that it and all future subdirectories are read/writable by me? [02:16] <_2> jimmy51_home what fs ? [02:16] ext3 === jeffrey_ is now known as jn72 [02:16] <_2> sudo chown -R $USER /home/jimmy/Storage [02:17] _2: thanks [02:18] <_2> note that the creator of any inode will own it. so setting "all fueture..." is not possable. [02:18] Anyone know if Ubuntu is gonna have a fix for running compiz-fusion with Intel GM965 ? [02:19] <_2> deftone you are talking about hardware support. you might ask the bot about !hardware and !ati [02:20] <_2> and yes, i know you didn't say ati. just trust me on that one.

[02:29] algum brasileiro poraki? [02:29] i already installed libasound2-dev and libasound2 [02:29] is there some kind of update manager like in gnome? [02:33] Woody86- normally you'll see an icon down in the system tray when updates are available [02:33] Woody86- You can check for updates manually in Adept === ubuntu is now known as col [02:34] Dragnslcr - the lightbulb? I see it, but nothing's happening when I click it or right-click it. I was wondering if there was another way to check by yourself? === col is now known as col_panic [02:35] I'm haivng a problem with grub [02:35] error 22 [02:35] I don't think it's a lightbulb [02:35] The tooltip should say something like "X updated packages available" [02:35] Dragnslcr - I'm using 8.10, so it may be different [02:36] Maybe [02:36] I had to do some crazy stuff to get my drive repartitioned, and now it won't boot [02:36] Might want to check in #ubuntu+1 === juna is now known as hello86 [02:37] can anybody offer suggestions?

I'm running Kubuntu 8.10 Beta... Any clue guys?! [02:59] yea mathiasbrito dont bother just use the packages [03:00] or you could install alsa dev packages [03:05] i'm a developer, i need the trunk version [03:05] i'm trying to compile kde from the truk [03:06] oobe: which package provide the alsa dev... i didnt found alsa-lib, but i found an a libasound that appears to be the equivalent [03:08] sorry mathiasbrito i said it off the top of my head you could try install the alsa sources though [03:08] aptitude search alsa [03:08] and see for youself whats available [03:10] it's ok... [03:10] i found the libasound-dev [03:11] the description is [03:11] libasound2-dev - ALSA library development files [03:11] but nothing [03:11] oobe: any idea!? [03:19] mathiasbrito, no sorry [03:20] okz... [03:20] thanks :) [03:23] mathiasbrito, try asking in #kde [03:42] pxel [04:15] hi everyone, im looking for a little help with getting my drivers to work [04:16] !ask [04:16] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:16] which drivers exactly [04:17] well my main question is about 32 bit vs 64 bit. is 64 bit really hard to find drivers for? Im thinking about dropping back to 32 [04:17] depends [04:18] I cant get my xfi extreme audio to work, but i just found some linux drivers so that should work. my nvidia 8800 gts has linux drivers but my main problem is with my belkinf5d8001, its an altheros chipset, and from what ive read those things are hit and miss with linux. im wondering if id have better luck in 32 bit mode for my network card specifically [04:20] and my other question is if I have 2 partitions on 1 disc, 1 being a windows partition and the other being the ubuntu partition, while im in linux where would i find my windows partition [04:22] im just sick of windows failing, and some friends have been recommending linux for stability. Ive been fighting with the drivers for a whole day now, and from what ive experienced so far its very much like windows. [04:25] ok...can anyone at least link me to a good networking walkthrough? [04:25] Roger_Klotz: Creative is very Linux unfriendly though they are giving up some bones now === kc8hfi is now known as kc8hfi_away [04:26] I'd like to apologize for them but they are being pretty silly. I will say I'm very sorry for the experience you are going through now but it's probably going to be much better once you get past this [04:26] Roger_Klotz: What kind of networking? [04:26] Wireless or Wired? [04:26] wireless [04:26] !wifi [04:26] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:27] is there a way to use a kubuntu cd to install an older kernel? [04:27] thanks ubottu [04:27] ok [04:28] my specific problem is before step 1 on that networking tutorial [04:28] when i open Network it only displays PPPOE [04:28] its not even detecting my card [04:28] but if i use iwconfig it finds it [04:31] and finally my stupidest question of the bunch, when i sudo it doesnt show my password while i type it, just stays blank as if im not typing [04:33] seele: If you know what kernel is on the CD sure [04:34] Roger_Klotz: That's a good thing :) [04:35] Roger_Klotz: are you using 64 bit, if so docs say you need to use ndiswrapper [04:35] DaSkreech: do you know where the packages are? there are about ten folders named the same thing [04:35] seele: Just apt-cdrom and add the cdrom as a source [04:35] yeah ive been trying to understand nwrapper [04:36] im about to try that [04:36] then ill go to 32 bit if that doesnt work [04:36] Roger_Klotz: It's prtty much a set of software that lies to the driver to make it think that it's on windows [04:36] so i just run those 3 files i downloaded? i think i have to add code or something right [04:37] Where are you reading? [04:37] huh.. that didn't work [04:37] Reading Package Indexes... Error! [04:37] W: Hash mismatch for: main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [04:37] W: Hash mismatch for: restricted/binary-i386/Packages [04:37] >_> [04:37] a bunch of google links skreech :( [04:37] Roger_Klotz: You are probably better off with the ubottu link [04:37] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [04:38] wow [04:38] you guys rule [04:38] Yes we do [04:38] been there done that [04:38] We expect taxes [04:39] seele: ahhhm. is this the live CD ? [04:39] ha [04:39] when i get work ill gladly pay for linux drivers that are just easy installs [04:39] DaSkreech: yes [04:39] some hardware doesn't play nice [04:39] DaSkreech: i want the kernel from alpha 4 [04:40] Roger_Klotz: You can do that now :) [04:40] Buy nVidia and Creative [04:41] seele: why can't you just get it from the repo? [04:42] DaSkreech: because my networking isn't working [04:42] seele: Duh :) [04:44] seele: I'm not too sure how it works from the Live CD :( [04:47] what's the alpha 4 kernel? [04:48] Roger_Klotz: What happens when you open Dolphin ? [04:56] whats dolphin skreech [04:57] the file manager. It should have your Windows partition on the sidebar [04:57] Roger_Klotz: Doh! are you on KDE3? [04:57] no [04:57] i should be huh [04:57] :D [04:57] KDE4? Are you running 8.10 ? [04:58] no i have xfce 4 i believe [04:58] should i switch to 8.4.1 of kubuntu? [04:58] i already have the cd made [04:58] well 32 bit cd [04:58] Oh I have no idea what Thunar does :) [04:58] Sorry :) [04:59] im gonna switch because its a pain in the ass. [04:59] Roger_Klotz: I'd actually just get the 8.10 RC [04:59] production machine [04:59] Roger_Klotz: You will probably be upgrading in a week anyway [05:00] oooooooh [05:00] Ok fine :0 [05:00] ;-) [05:00] well if you want you can install from the network or from the CD [05:00] had vista, but it keeps crashing, i think its the newest nvidia drivers [05:00] CD is faster but network means you can hang out here :) [05:00] i have a laptop [05:01] right next to the desktop were talking about [05:01] :-) [05:01] im assuming most of this trouble is coming from xubuntu [05:02] It's not [05:02] xubuntu is pretty light weight [05:03] Yeah but he's looking for drivers for the kernel which has nothing to do with the desktop [05:03] They all have the same kernel [05:03] but isnt it different terminal environments or something? [05:03] and the file system thing? i need to get to my music :) [05:04] Nope [05:04] Well terminal environment [05:04] but even then [05:04] nope :) [05:04] intresting [05:05] I've had better luck with kubuntu, but he's still going to have to fight the drivers issue [05:06] theres a lot of windows releases for my network card though, and a lot of cards that use the same altheros chipset [05:08] ohhhh and for the hdd issue, i missed the fact that you have to set mount points for other drives [05:09] very cool [05:09] I've never worked with your belkin but I did get a f5d7001 working with ndiswrapper [05:10] Hey mr-t, did you see what mr-t is doing now, those late night adds about food proccessors === Daskreech2 is now known as Daskreech [05:11] and as for crashes , I got into linux to rescue a crashed windows hd [05:11] no really I pity the fool [05:11] when i was just trying it, i had dropped all the files to home and when i ran the util setup it crashed and said something along the lines of "cannot find common files" [05:11] Roger_Klotz: Yeah it's a very different system from windows :) [05:11] Roger_Klotz: can you paste bin it? [05:11] !paste | Roger_Klotz from here [05:11] Roger_Klotz from here: 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) [05:12] paste bin is always kewl [05:12] bottom line no crashes in 6 monthes of linux [05:13] mr---t-: on the other hand when it crashes it crashes spectacularly [05:13] but as long as it's not a hardware or serious serious file system crash you can fix it [05:13] I 'll have to see === nelsonstreet is now known as Bones122 [05:14] I've broken all sorts of things from my kernel to X to grub and I can still do work and get things sorted till I fix it [05:14] ok im installing kubuntu now ill do that. [05:14] then back to normal :0 [05:14] \Kira: hi [05:14] I've been told to keep your prior version of kernel tho [05:14] Roger_Klotz: great choice [05:14] <\Kira> Daskreech: hi [05:14] mr---t-: Yeah that helps [05:15] <\Kira> Daskreech: whats up? [05:15] I've had a glitch or two but I used to lock up windows with regularity [05:16] * Bones122 shutters thinking about windows [05:16] ha he said shutters ... get it? [05:17] right over there heads [05:17] * mr---t- tinks windows was invented to keep people out of there own software [05:17] * mr---t- thinks even [05:18] I was reading the source code of vista, on about line 13,534 it states vista was build on the windows me kernal [05:19] I hope you rebooted after that [05:19] <\Kira> Bones122: how did you manage to read the source of a closed source operating system? [05:20] * mr---t- thinks he was joking [05:20] <\Kira> I see [05:20] <\Kira> :( sarcasm is hard to read without faces [05:21] <\Kira> or not nessesarily sarcasm, but you know what i mean [05:21] well he said the word vista , which tipped me off [05:22] Even windows doesn't want to call it that now [05:23] <\Kira> did you know microsoft got more pushy with having an authenticicated version of vista? Rather than just the annoying pop up box in the corner like windows xp, the screen now turns completely black after an hour of use. The chinese are pissed, since vista costs more than they earn in a month (most of them, anyways) [05:23] <\Kira> read it on slashdot [05:25] if im setting up 2 partitions would i want the / directory or the /home directory bigger [05:26] <\Kira> Roger_Klotz: my home directory is bigger, but thats because i do alot of iso backups. I would recommend to have the / directory bigger if you install more than you save in your home [05:26] nope kira im just like you. 1 program [05:26] <\Kira> my / directory adds up to 4gigs, and my home to 23 [05:26] ty [05:26] <\Kira> np [05:28] wooohooo partitions set up let the install begin [05:32] can anyone recommend me some must have packages for kubuntu [05:35] I personally like firefox and thunderbird and krusader and many of the standard ones that come with [05:35] but thats just me [05:35] <\Kira> Roger_Klotz: Compiz is nessesary for me, I actually took the time to set it up at my school acount :D [05:36] I did remove dolphin though [05:37] <\Kira> At first workspaces seemed so dumb, but when i work on projects and I dont feel the need to close everything as soon as possible anymore. After a while the fact that windows doesnt have workspaces makes it difficult to work with [05:37] It didn't like my thumb drive for some reason [05:38] <\Kira> I hate doplin, everything in the media section doesnt work, the shortcuts allways cause doubles. Theres no up directory button. The only thing thats nice is the icons [05:38] Oh when I' on a windows box I miss stuff like being able to just hover the mouse over the speaker and scroll wheel for volume control [05:39] mr---t-: when im on a windows box i miss stuff like the computer working [05:39] :P [05:39] <\Kira> lol! I just tried that. Thats pretty cool [05:39] <\Kira> coreymon77: lol [05:39] yeah I use konq and krusader now [05:39] i just found this too: http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/hack-attack-top-10-ubuntu-apps-and-tweaks-195437.php [05:39] <\Kira> I hate how vista seemed to attempt to copy linux effects [05:39] <\Kira> and did a shitty job [05:40] \Kira: its actually macos effects that they tried to copy [05:40] \Kira: they dont give a crap less about linux [05:41] <\Kira> coreymon77: 1. make is essentially linux (originally, anyways). 2. I think mac got them from linux (please correct if wrong) [05:41] I disagree they are trying to supress linux I think [05:41] \Kira: other way around [05:41] <\Kira> Well, I read articles about microsoft making samba function more smoothly in vista [05:42] <\Kira> coreymon77: linux got from mac? [05:42] well, its sorta a back and forth thing [05:42] <\Kira> coreymon77: I see [05:43] dolphin is so much better than thunar my god [05:43] Yeah but with this I can tweak things to suit me [05:43] <\Kira> coreymon77: well, I just summerize and say that microsoft tried to copy the other ones [05:43] everyone copies veryone else [05:44] <\Kira> coreymon77: but i wouldn't care, normally. I mean, its not like they are going to miss out on great effects just so they arn't "copying". What bothers me is how bad they did and how people think microsoft invented it [05:44] Roger_Klotz: you can use konqeror to do the same things [05:45] \Kira: well of course, people are idiots [05:45] * mr---t- likes krusader better for file manipulation [05:45] \Kira: hence why microsoft has a majority market share right now [05:45] <\Kira> Roger_Klotz: konqeror doesnt work with gmail or youtube for me, and it always makes the amarok usd box appear when I start it [05:45] oh thats sweet mr t [05:45] !bug #1 | \Kira [05:45] <\Kira> coreymon77: :) [05:46] !bug 1 | \Kira [05:46] \Kira: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[05:53] no clu [05:53] e [05:53] Roger_Klotz: My / is 7 Gigs I've never come close to filling it in 3 years [05:54] coreymon77: someone was in here earlier asking how to revert to the alpha 4 kernel , what does this mean? [05:55] no idea [05:55] Roger_Klotz: Dolphin's actually pretty crappy in KDE3 It's much much nicer in KDE4 [05:56] there was an alpha in hardy and is one now in ibex but I have only heard kernels refered to by number [05:57] \Kira: First bug reported [05:57] mr---t-: They want to go back to using the kernel that was installed with Ibex Alpha 4 [05:57] hi jono [05:57] gnight all [05:59] nite [05:59] night coreymon77 [05:59] See you soon [05:59] hey Daskreech [05:59] !katapult [05:59] katapult is the new application launcher for KDE, to be used with applications, bookmarks, and Amarok playlists.

[06:00] i'm getting a problem with alsa, it is not being found [06:14] <\Kira> I can't put my virtualboxOSE file into a truecrypt container, I get different errors depending on my method. Any help? [06:27] What errors? [06:43] <\Kira> Daskreech: well, I got file to big errors, the location can not be found. But I reliezed my set-up was in-secure because if someone knew I had an linux OS on the truecrypt drive then they could use the kernel code to get close and eventually crack my password. I'm reconsidering my approach, now. Thanks for the help, though. [06:46] ok [06:53] !ntl [06:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntl [06:54] i need a shortcut key to minimize all the running apps on my desktop [06:54] its really frustrating..

Is there a way I can change this without effecting other programs? [07:21] <\Kira> I guess I could just copy the content of my home directory to another name, then make the old name a sym link, but I would perfer to do something more tidy.

Im trying to change my username, I dont want to make a new account for the work it would take to set up kde how I like again, and have to copy my game data. I just want to have my username changed, wich means my home directory name aswell. Any ideas? [07:31] <\Kira> I've changed my username throught the kde application, but it doesnt change my home directory name [07:38] whats the best irc program for kubuntu (for running a bot) [07:59] \Kira: how did you change your name ? [08:00] rogan: That doesn't make much sense :) [08:08] hello [08:08] a little help [08:09] i want to have File Manager - Super User Mode which is missing, how to enable it?

[08:14] GUYS IM ALMOST DONE SETTING UP NDISWRAPPER YESSSS [08:14] Roger_Klotz, congratulations [08:15] ty oobe [08:18] oobe: this kdesu dolphin is working fine, but sorta long route, in PCMan File Manager and dolphin there is an option "open as root" for any drive/folder that you open, you just enter pw and thats it, much easier [08:22] what ftp server would you reccomend (for occasional xfers with friends) [08:25] oobe: http://arstechnica.com/news.media/dolphin4_oxygen-1.jpg [08:28] what do i do with a shell script file [08:30] hi everyone [08:31] i need help with 8.10 i installed it and cant get it to boot up [08:51] hrm, what's the equivalent to gparted included on the kubuntu install disc?

[08:57] sure enough [08:57] cool [08:58] but ... what does ubiquity use then? [08:59] Probably the same thing the Gnome one does [08:59] i like gparted better. seems to work better than qparted. [08:59] Qparted hasn't been worked on in years [08:59] Gparted hasn't been worked on in about a year I think [08:59] Would be nice for a Qt4 frontend toparted [09:00] Daskreech: think i'm gonna go with wsftpd. tinyftp is only a client afaik [09:00] Which reminds me I should play with kgrubeditro [09:00] editor === colin__ is now known as kernco [09:00] !info tftpd [09:00] tftpd (source: netkit-tftp): Trivial file transfer protocol server.

[09:02] JackWinter: Nice :) [09:04] Daskreech: the /boot files reside on each os partition but /boot/grub contains grub and menu.lst. very happy with this change. now if there is a new kernel or i install another distro, i just copy the entry i want from menu.lst on the new install, and all is great... highly reccomended [09:09] JackWinter: You might also want to look into /home on its own partition if you don't have it setup that way [09:13] I would hope if he's figured out a premanent /boot/grub then he has /home puzzled alreeady :) [09:14] Most likely, but possibly not [09:15] I'd wager that playing with paritions that much would lead you to that conclusion or revelation in time with it likely to be sooner than later :) [09:19] powertool08 & Daskreech: yes indeed, the separate /home i had from the beginning. the separate /boot/grub took longer and a lot of procrastrination (out of fear), but once I set it up i was real happy...! [09:20] JackWinter: Just need to script the management of it now :) [09:20] JackWinter: Now you can put /lib on its own partition! === bsuadmin is now known as pogztimz [09:20] hehe, to the both of you :) [09:21] JackWinter: what? I'm serious... [09:22] nah, not really, but it would be awesomely random to put each folder on its own partition [09:22] You can't [09:23] some have to be married to / [09:23] don't really see the need/benefit for a separate /lib partition... [09:23] meh, delete those for being difficult :P [09:23] JackWinter: I was kidding [09:24] ok, i thought so :) [09:24] etc with it's own partiton would be assume :) [09:24] but separate /home and grub partitions are very nice....

[10:54] powertool08: you can run kicker in kde4, just looks weird [10:54] anpu: depends how you use your system [10:54] when i type plasma it says /usr/lib/kde4/bin/plasma [10:55] ActionParsnip: ya, but anpu said it was there before and not now, so they probably want what was there (plasma) not what could be there (kicker) [10:55] powertool08: hmm, good point, we can always remove kicker [10:55] Although I think kicker > plasma [10:55] i dont use either [10:56] anpu: have you asked in #kubuntu-kde4 ?? [10:56] i don't know what it was it had k logo instead of windows logo and a tray [10:56] ActionParsnip: I use kicker with kde 3.5.10 until I upgrade again, then i'll be ditching kde most likely === Riddell changed the topic of #kubuntu to: Official Kubuntu support | FAQ: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FAQ | Get Hardy Kubuntu (KDE3) CDs https://shipit.kubuntu.org | Pastes: http://paste.ubuntu.com | Chat in #kubuntu-offtopic | KDE 4 support in #kubuntu-kde4 | RC is out, Help us test 8.10! http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.10-rc | 8.10 Support in #ubuntu+1 [10:56] anpu: wait a sec [10:56] why?

[11:42] dude: if you saw an nvidia logo when yuo booted yes [11:42] dude: a word of warning though [11:42] forceing libxine to the older version (from u3.1 to u3) forced me to uninstall some programs in an ugly way [11:43] dude: the drivers are for your current kernel, if you upgrade your kernel you will have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf BACK to the nv driver so you can get an X server, you will then have to RERUN that app to get the driver installed for the new kernel [11:43] anybody from bulgaria [11:43] now, everything works, but synaptic/adapt wants me to reupgrade the "offending" packages [11:43] dude: if you dont modify the file you will not get an x server and have to drop to command line only to edit xorg.conf from there [11:43] dude: otherwise envyng is AWESOME [11:44] lies! [11:44] Roger_Klotz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3468892 [11:44] ty [11:44] Roger_Klotz: creative are dumb, they dont even support windows properly. some guy tried to code his own drivers and nearly got sued [11:44] !envyng [11:44] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [11:45] ActionParsnip: :) that's deep, im not familiar with those configuration [11:45] dude: its a simple text file [11:46] dude: all you do is find the line Driver "nvidia" and change it to Driver "nv" [11:46] dude: then do the recommended reboot [11:46] dude: i'd love envyng to be officially supported but its not and its really annoying [11:48] ActionParsnip: i found that line, driver 'nvidia' [11:48] hi all, my laptop brightness buttons (Fn-ArrowKey) work in KDE, but do not work if i login to openbox or fluxbox. Any idea how i can find out what service/program is handling this in KDE so that I can start it up while in *box ? Thanks [11:49] dude: yeah, leave it for now. when you do a kernel update, you will need to change that to nv [11:49] cya and tnx for help [11:49] blip-: you may need to configure the hotkey in fluxbox. I thought that was all hadware [11:50] ActionParsnip: so you mean to say i cannot use compiz? [11:50] dude: did you see the nvidia logo before you logged in? [11:50] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:51] ActionParsnip: i will reboot my system, thanks [11:54] ActionParsnip: i didn't see it [11:55] hmmm try: glxinfo | grep -i direct [11:55] whats the output [11:58] ActionParsnip: YES is the output [11:58] then it should be ok [11:58] type glxgears in konsole [11:59] Hello All. I recently moved to Hardy (pre-installed on a new machine) and am missing expected functions. How do you make USB devices auto-mount? [11:59] ActionParsnip: -info display OpenGL renderer info [12:00] i installed kubuntu beta 1 a week ago. what do i do to upgrade to rc1? [12:00] (if anything) [12:00] eukaryote: you can add an entry in /etc/fstab [12:00] !fstab | eukaryote [12:00] eukaryote: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [12:01] dude: do you see the gears whizzing round? [12:01] ActionParsnip: yes [12:01] dude: ok, press ctrl+c in konsol [12:01] how many fps do you get (it should be high) [12:01] ActionParsnip: I tried that, but what I want is to auomount any arbitrary key, MP3 player or whatever. Feisty just did it, for example. [12:01] like thousands [12:02] eukaryote: i dont use automount personally, i dont like automatic stuff [12:02] ActionParsnip: 5933 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1186.480 FPS / 5593 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1118.600 FPS [12:02] does anyone know? [12:03] eukaryote: if you add a line in fstab for it it will automount, try asking in #ubuntu, its essentially the same OS [12:03] dude: looks fine, compiz away [12:03] ActionParsnip: ther's an error [12:03] ? [12:03] ActionParsnip: XIO: fatal IO error 22 (Invalid argument) on X server ":0.0" after 449 requests (449 known processed) with 0 events remaining. [12:04] ActionParsnip: is that major? [12:04] is that after glxgears? [12:05] looks like the result of control + c so i wouldnt sweat it [12:05] ActionParsnip: it seems ok [12:05] :) [12:05] dude: should be fine [12:05] ActionParsnip: to compiz :) [12:06] dude: its your system. i hate compiz [12:06] did anyone upgrade to rc1? [12:06] ActionParsnip: why? [12:06] i think its worthless [12:06] tinason: me [12:06] i hit minimise and i want it gone, not to do a little dance [12:07] just slows productivity in the name of gloss [12:07] dude: did you upgrade from beta1? [12:07] ActionParsnip: hmmm... [12:07] i use fluxbox, dude [12:07] dude: nice and minimal and snappy. but some people love compiz [12:07] tinason: from 8.04 [12:08] ActionParsnip: flubox? [12:08] gimme a sec, i'll get you my desktop screen sot [12:08] *shot [12:09] did anyone upgrade to 8.10 rc1 from 8.10 beta 4? [12:09] ActionParsnip: ever talk to snuxoll? He's always in -offtopic. He uses a very minimal compiz setup, no cube, fancy minimize animations, can't remember which window manager though [12:09] compiz is a window manager [12:10] ah yes... i forgot that [12:10] ;) [12:10] anyway, he has it toned way down and only uses a few things in it [12:11] dude: mines like this but i dont have wallpaper [12:11] dude: http://www.tuxmachines.org/gallery/d/3893-2/fluxbox.jpg [12:11] Hi [12:11] dude: menu for apps is on right click dekstop [12:12] dude: i use yakuake for command line for file management [12:12] !hi | yorkensen [12:12] yorkensen: Hi!

[12:22] dude: delete the word libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig from the list of packages you are trying to apt-get [12:23] sorry for the delay [12:23] yes, actually hal is up and running [12:23] dude: press up on keyoard then use cursors and backspace to delete it [12:23] even restarted hal just in case [12:23] yorkensen: is it ok after a reboot? [12:23] it was not after the last one [12:23] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks [12:23] hmm [12:24] yorkensen: what command are you giving to gte the error [12:24] yorkensen: can yo give a pastebin of the command and error together [12:24] !paste > yorkensen [12:24] yorkensen, please see my private message [12:26] dude: better? [12:26] I get the error in many different ways [12:26] yorkensen: just one will do [12:27] just right click on the CDROM icon of the desktop and select mount [12:27] I get the error [12:28] ActionParsnip: yes...cool [12:29] yorkensen: hmm, ok have you tried manually mounting at command line/ [12:29] ActionParsnip: all i need is run xp under kubuntu [12:29] not right now [12:29] should I try [12:30] can one tell me a tool that allows multiple editors of a document to work concurrently and immediately seeing the changes another one makes (for example to concurrently write a book)?

How do I upgrade these? [12:46] powertool08: sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade [12:46] yorkensen: lsb_release -a | grep -i code [12:46] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:46] yorkensen: whats it say [12:46] Sorry about that!

[12:56] eagles0513875: yep [12:56] try it [12:56] you must sit in it though as the channel dies with no users [12:57] ActionParsnip: ok [12:57] so you can make a channel named ANYTHING [12:57] and you'd be the admin too :) [12:57] ActionParsnip: gotcha [13:00] hey [13:00] Sorry ActionParsnit, you know whay it could be that automount does not work anymore?

[13:06] yorkensen: 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) [13:07] I like to make a servicemenu for kdesvn, but I want it to only appear if the current dir contains a .svn dir [13:07] berkes: i had a go ages ago and nearly drove myself crazy after it went horribly wrong [13:07] berkes: try later and try #ubuntu too [13:08] this should follow the same method as e.g. a smart "open this in imageviewer an action only to appear when there are actual images found. [13:09] berkes: i thought it only applied to right clicking on files? [13:09] dolphin shows action-menus in a sidebar [13:09] i see [13:09] but it uses the exact same .desktop for that, ActionParsnip [13:10] cool [13:10] berkes: i use cli for file management, its quicker [13:10] to me [13:13] ActionParsnip: it often is, but with properly configured .desktops, I foundt klikketyklik to be slightly faster. esp. since dolphin gives most/all the power of the CLI too. a little hidden away, but its there. [13:15] ActionParsnip: I got it. There was an error in the fstab [13:15] ActionParsnip: thanks a lot [13:15] yorkensen: thought as much === desti_T2 is now known as desti [13:18] i found [13:18] damn [13:19] I have an xfi driver and it tells me to install-sh as root. Im using sudo bash to become root, but its telling me "command not found" [13:20] the line is "bash: install-sh: command not found" [13:21] Roger_Klotz: install-sh is most likely a script, make sure its executable, if not chmod +x install-sh then either $sudo sh install-sh or $sudo ./install-sh === danny is now known as deadlyninja [13:24] Roger_Klotz: sudo ./ [13:24] it says to run ./configure first i guess, and thats giving me an error. "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [13:24] sudo ./configure [13:25] ? [13:27] Roger_Klotz: no [13:27] Roger_Klotz: never use sudo before ./configure. what are you compiling anyway? (sorry, just joined) === guest_ is now known as saharagurl [13:28] its the sound blaster x-fi drivers. they say 1. run configure script 2. run make 3. run make install === nico__ is now known as Karansac [13:29] and im stuck at step 1 from this C compiler error [13:29] i know what the solution is for that [13:29] however, have you made very sure that ubuntu actually doesn't include x-fi drivers by default? [13:29] if it does, it would be very much preferrable to try and fix any problem that those may have [13:30] its not detecting my xfi anywhere but in terminal [13:30] also these are official creative drivers for linux so im guessing this is the easiest way to get it working [13:30] Roger_Klotz: ok, yes, google confirms to me that ALSA support for the x-fi is very experimental [13:31] Roger_Klotz: no, that's a common misconception that often causes serious problems. the fact that the drivers come from the manifacturer *doesn't* mean that they'll work better than any drivers included with ubuntu [13:31] actually, they may work worse and cause serious issues, because "Linux" isn't a single operating system, yet they provide "Linux" drivers [13:31] Roger_Klotz: anyway, in this specific case, there's probably no other solution [13:31] LjL: im just having trouble installing though i think [13:31] Roger_Klotz: so, type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [13:31] ok [13:32] then run ./configure again [13:34] LjL: E: Couldn't find package build-essentials [13:34] Roger_Klotz: read what i typed again [13:34] :D === erwin___ is now known as vaiursch [13:35] Roger_Klotz: its singular [13:35] ty [13:35] Roger_Klotz: use tab completion for package names as well as irc nicks ;) [13:36] i'm having a weird network issue with the intrepid rc [13:36] i can connect to an access point, start a connection, but then it dies [13:36] e.g. i can hit the google homepage, but then i times out on the search [13:36] !intrepid | seele [13:36] seele: Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion.

[14:33] powertool08: makes sense [14:33] ActionParsnip: I'm confident I could do it now and someday maybe I'll try it again [14:34] if you got spare time go for it [14:34] ActionParsnip: I'm exploring Arch and the awesome window manager atm so maybe when I'm through with that and need more excitment [14:34] try fluxbox :) [14:35] kicks ass [14:36] ActionParsnip: I've used it on livecd's but kinda skipped it in my minimalization... I went from kde to gnome, back to kde, e17, lxde, xfce, and now kde on the main rig, awesome on the play rig [14:37] kde is fine, kwin is nasty [14:38] thanks im in dalnet now [14:38] :) [14:38] ActionParsnip: ya, I won't be sticking with kde much longer [14:38] why wassup with kde?

I use network more for storage so CDs are fairly redundant to me [14:44] ActionParsnip: I don't use it often, which is probably why I haven't switched to a lighterweight replacement [14:44] ActionParsnip: wouldnt I use the purge command like you told me to use for kate? [14:44] Roger_Klotz: what for? [14:45] sudo apt-get --purge remove make [14:46] then get make [14:46] Roger_Klotz: sounds like an idea [14:46] Roger_Klotz: if thats no good, jump into #gentoo [14:47] still didnt work [14:47] ok [14:47] they are big compilers === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [14:58] 666 [14:58] the number of the beast [14:59] Hell and fire was spawned to be released [15:10] !botsnack [15:10] Yum!

Even if you think they're correct back up the current entries and alter them to something else you think might work. === ubuntu is now known as Mabo [18:26] When I suspend my Laptop and unlock it, I am no longer able to get any audio output. When I hit the Power Button, it says something like "tpm_inf_pnp activation failed" (I missed some digits before and in between, it's there only a short time). Is there a possibility to fix this? [18:26] matisse: use beep? [18:27] beep ? [18:28] turned beep in xchat on... :) [18:32] ha ha [18:33] beep media player [18:33] Fork of xmms with some new features [18:35] ahh, ok :) [18:36] is it better than xmms ? (i would stop to use xmms, but it doesnt use much cpu power etc) [18:37] beep uses more but not oodles more [18:39] if my computer was fast enough, i would choose amarok... [18:41] Wuldn't everyone? :) === hibana_ is now known as hibana [18:44] Amarok <3 [18:44] DaSkreech: hi son === kdedev is now known as JohnFlux [18:46] Hi Tm_T [18:46] how's kwibber? :) [18:49] anyone else having this small issue with ktorrent? http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173464 [18:49] (talking about latest intrepid... rc i think) [18:51] DaSkreech: no idea (;) [18:52] someone compiled KDE from trunk in kubuntu 8.10? [18:53] mathiasbrito: I do, daily [18:53] i'm having problems compiling kdebase [18:53] can i paste the error in pvt? [18:53] use pastebin [18:54] pastebin?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [18:54] okz [18:57] Tm_T: i posted it there [18:57] as mathiasbrito [18:57] isn't there a KDE-daily repos ? [18:57] repo [18:58] DaSkreech: closest you're going to get is Neon [18:58] DaSkreech: sorta yes, in "neon" [18:58] mathiasbrito: please give the address to here [18:58] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu hardy main [18:59] http://pastebin.com/d4ed9d8e [19:00] mathiasbrito: ok and reason why you are compiling kde4 trunk is... [19:00] I'm trying to start taking a look at source, and maybe fix bugs! [19:01] mathiasbrito: well, first learn to build stuff (;) [19:01] because it says clearly why it doesn't build, fix that first [19:01] i installed libasound-dev [19:02] if i'm correcty this is the package that provides alsa-lib [19:02] dwidmann: there's some backstory to all this [19:03] my partitioning woes [19:03] mathiasbrito: hmmm, in doubt, remove CMakeCache.txt [19:04] i'll try, a momment [19:04] dwidmann: you stll there? [19:05] Here's what happened: [19:05] I had run out of space on my / partition [19:06] so I booted into PartdMagic [19:06] I successfully shrunk my /home partition [19:07] Colonel_P: Did you try sudo apt-get autoclean ? [19:07] but when I tried to move it over to make room for the other partitions to expand, Gparted kept crashing [19:07] please let me finish this, maybe the problem will be more apparent [19:08] Tm_T: It is all right now, thanks for your help, maybe it ill take a while to start contributing, but i just made the first step! :) sorry, no experience with cmake.. [19:08] :-) [19:08] after about half a day trying to get this to work, I backed up my /home dir to another large hard drive [19:09] then, I copied my / partition, and pasted it into the free space that had been created after shrinking my /home partition [19:10] so now, where I had once had 3 partitions (/, swap and /home), I now had 4 (/, swap, /home, and the copy of /) [19:10] these partitions were named sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4 [19:10] I DELETED sda1 [19:11] then expanded my swap partition to fill up the remaining 10G space left by sda1 [19:11] so now I have 3 partitions: sda2 (a very big 10G swap partition), sda3 (/home) and sda4 (copy of /) [19:14] what was on sda1 ? [19:14] sorry for the abrupt leave, 7zip slowed my computer to near froze [19:14] I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst to change these lines: root (hda0,2) [19:15] and kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=/dev/sda4/ ro single [19:15] sda1 had been my root partition [19:15] k [19:15] now I'm trying to boot from sda4 [19:16] ...the last partition on the drive [19:16] but I keep getting these error 22 [19:16] messages === keith is now known as compilerwriter [19:16] is there any way to recover my system? [19:17] Colonel_P: did you ask in #grub what error 22 is? [19:17] no... [19:17] Colonel_P: pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and I'll take a look [19:17] maybe I ought to try over there? [19:18] ok I'm goiing to log on from the machine I did this on, from a PartedMagic CD [19:18] (that's right, I'm ba-ackkkkkk) [19:18] If one had upgraded to one of the Ibex betas would adept have gone ahead and upgraded the entire distro when the release cantidate came out. [19:19] compilerwriter: yeah, installing the beta then upgrading later is the same as having the rc [19:20] dwidmann I am in kde4 now and adept looks different how does one do an entire dist-upgrade now. Though from what you are telling me it is not needed. [19:20] compilerwriter: no, what I'm saying is that's all that's needed [19:20] http://pastebin.com/m57f5a112 [19:21] I'm not on Ibex so I can't really comment on how one might do it in Adept if it's different ... but sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade would still do the trick [19:21] Just let adept do its thing and I now already have the Ibex rc then [19:21] is it ok to have a boot drive with no sda1? [19:21] ColPanic-partedm: so, which drive ran out of space? Which drive did you copy things on to? are they both still in the system? [19:22] OK I have 1 500G physical drive and another 1T physical drive [19:22] the 500G drive now has 3 partitions: [19:23] compilerwriter: are you part way into ibex? [19:23] ColPanic-partedm: so the 500GB drive ran out of space, and you copied things to teh 1TB drive, I presume? [19:24] DaSkreech It appears I am all the way into Ibex now. Adept did its job wonderfully. [19:24] sda2 (swap) 10.26GB, sda3 (/home) 407.39GB and sda4 (copy of /) 48.1 GB [19:24] yeah I copied most of the crap from my home partition there [19:24] hello [19:25] compilerwriter: ah a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should be good then [19:25] ColPanic-partedm: so you only copied the home partition to the new drive? [19:25] then I copied the remaining contents of my /home dir there too [19:25] i would like to know how to set up a S3 Unichrome video card [19:25] well, first I copied most of the stuff that had filled my home part [19:25] !unichromw [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about unichromw [19:25] !unichrome [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about unichrome [19:25] Eh? [19:25] before doing this repartitioning thing [19:25] !chrome [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about chrome [19:25] !openchrome [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about openchrome [19:25] Interesting === manos is now known as manos-- === manos-- is now known as manos [19:26] then before repartitioning, I copied my entire /home dir to a dir on that frive, so yes everything from /home is backed up [19:26] ColPanic-partedm: what's the partition structure of the 1TB drive looking like right now? [19:26] 1 big partition [19:26] don't you know anything about unichrome? [19:26] * DaSkreech praises the $BREAK and passes the coffee [19:26] sdb1 [19:27] Coffee, alright! [19:27] ColPanic-partedm: before all of this, did you just recently put the 1TB drive in your system? Maybe BIOS and/or grub are confused? [19:27] * compilerwriter Praises the Irish and passes DaSkreech the flask. [19:27] ColPanic-partedm: try changing all instances of (hd0...) to (hd1...) [19:28] rodri_esp: Yeah you install the unichrome X driver [19:28] But that hasn't been touched in ooooh a few years [19:28] the 1T drive has been in there for a couple months [19:28] S3 went from writing their own open drivers to being really really linux hostile [19:28] there's another thing [19:29] whenever I try to boot and I get one of those 22 error [19:29] yeh back [19:29] as i was sayin [19:29] kwibber? [19:29] then I try to reboot from a livecd [19:29] how can I install kde4 on ubuntu 8.10 RC? [19:29] it gets to the initial screen, but as soon as I hit a key it reboots [19:29] Tm_T: That would be you :) [19:29] Natanaiel: it should be there by default ... [19:30] last time, it did this like 20 or 30 times before actually rebooting from the CD [19:30] maybe I need to shut down and leave the computer off for awhile before rebooting to the CD? [19:30] ColPanic-partedm: that's weird ... I have no idea why it would do that. [19:30] I know [19:30] ColPanic-partedm: still, try [19:30] ColPanic-partedm: try changing all instances of (hd0...) to (hd1...) [19:31] well, what's hd1? [19:31] isn't that the big disk? [19:31] ColPanic-partedm: maybe, maybe not. We'll see. [19:31] Anyhow, I need to get a shower, I'll be back in a bit === joaoguilherme is now known as Glicose [19:32] I'm afraid to reboot now, because who knows how many times I'll have to go round and round with that boot thing before I can actually get a working OS [19:32] dwidmann: isn't it kde 4.1? I want kde 4.0 [19:32] OK well, I guess I'm accomplishing nothing just sitting here [19:32] Natanaiel: who would want 4.0? ... I doubt it's there at all [19:33] so in menu.lst, I change *all* instances of hd0 to hd1? [19:33] like, do a find/replace? [19:33] ColPanic-partedm: right [19:33] ColPanic-partedm: sure [19:34] ColPanic-partedm: then save, reboot, and hope for magic [19:34] um... OK [19:34] this is kinda nuts, but I'll try it [19:34] ColPanic-partedm: (it's not my fault grub is retarded sometimes) [19:35] here goes [19:36] error 22 [19:36] damn [19:36] HULK SMASH!!! [19:38] Colonel_P: that sucks... had that myself a while ago... [19:39] OK [19:39] it booted to the CD just fine this time [19:39] the trick is to completely power down for a few seconds first [19:39] back in Partedmagic [19:41] maybe the folks in #grub can help with this? [19:42] I seem to have really eff'd things up this time [19:43] Colonel_P: It can be fixed [19:44] Tm_T: Were you the only person working on it? [19:44] It seems strange not to have an sda1 [19:44] well, I was receiving some help [19:46] i need of tester for this http://www.nowardev.netsons.org/?q=node/1 [19:47] quick question...... how do I get the title bar back in 8.04 [19:47] quick question...... how do I get the title bar back in 8.04 === kc8hfi_ is now known as kc8hfi [19:51] quick question...... how do I get the title bar back in 8.04 [19:51] The what? [19:51] the blue bar accross the top [19:51] all I have now is the window [19:52] I cant move any window arround [19:52] joseph: do you have a terminal open ? [19:52] I can [19:52] ok [19:52] type kwin & [19:53] wow, that was it [19:53] sweet thanks [19:53] sure thing [19:53] If you logout and back in it should save it [19:55] * dwidmann is back === zombikiller is now known as Zombikiller === Zombikiller is now known as Zombie_Killer === Zombie_Killer is now known as ZombyKiller [20:00] how can I force all windows in KDE to open as maximized? This cascading thing it does is a bit annoying :( [20:02] dwidmann: Catch me up on Colonel_P's situation [20:03] DaSkreech: He copied his home partition off of his main, 500GB drive because he was out of space onto his empty 1TB drive, which is now just one huge partition, for his home ... he reboots and error 22. At least this is what I've managed to gather from it. He says the second drive has been in there for months as well though, presumably unused til now. [20:04] He removed / as well didn't he? [20:04] That partition no longer exists [20:04] DaSkreech: Well, he didn't say that, but it's possible. [20:04] hey folks. I am wondering if its possible to have kubuntu automount a disc but NOT open konqueror [20:05] no [20:06] I ran out of space on my 500GB drive [20:06] sorry if that wasn't clear [20:06] I copied most of the stuff onto the big drive [20:06] rather, MOVED it [20:06] Colonel_P: which most of the stuffs did you copy (slash that), move? [20:07] ^H [20:07] then I copied the remains of my /home dir on there too, into its own dir [20:07] just a bunch of files [20:07] midget pr0n and the like [20:07] lol [20:07] I intend to use that drive for storaqge [20:07] 0_o\ [20:07] that's not the issue here [20:08] I;m trying to think of the time to move 1TB of midget Pr0n [20:08] you'd expect each file to be small too _^ [20:08] the thing is, I couldn't move my big /home partition after shrinking it [20:08] for whatever reason [20:08] Colonel_P: can you mount it? [20:08] so, I just copied my / partition to the space at the end of the drive, then expanded it to fil that space [20:09] then I deleted my original / partition and embiggened the swap file to fill the remaining space there [20:09] so now I have no sda1 [20:09] but I have 3 partitions: sda2 (swap) [20:09] sda3 (/home) [20:10] Now we're getting somewhere~!! [20:10] and sda4 (the copy of /) [20:10] that's what I did [20:10] wouldn't that be sdb4? (hd1,3)? [20:10] Wait, which drive is / on? [20:11] (now, after the move) === oz_ is now known as Wind67 [20:12] they're all on the main hard drive [20:12] Colonel_P: or better, what is the current entire partition setup, for each drive, *currently*, pastebin it [20:12] one line per partition for easy readability :) [20:12] OK what's the command to show that? [20:12] Hello, I am using the shell command sed and trying to output a file removing the line if the second row of the line is not equal to zer [20:13] the dataset is by far more than 65535 line, so i cannot use spreadsheet [20:13] Well, fdisk -l will work, or "parted /dev/sd? print" (the ? is intentional!!) [20:13] **fdisk -l /dev/sd? [20:13] ok [20:13] gimme a sec [20:14] I just rebooted so I'll have to do this from the machine I'm working on [20:14] You'll of course have to label what is what yourwself [20:14] <_ede_> join #opensuse [20:14] manos: sed works on a line by line basis [20:14] one question [20:15] can someone advise on how to update to the latest (stable) KDE from KDE 3.5.10? [20:15] how does my computer know where to find the boot partition, if the /boot/directory is on sda4? [20:15] don't I have to fix the mbr? [20:15] or modify the boot sector or whatever [20:15] Colonel_P: GRUB looks after that. [20:15] Colonel_P: only if the mbr is broken [20:15] to point to sda4 as the bootable partition? [20:16] Well it's not pointing to any file now since the parition doesn't exist any more [20:16] Colonel_P: Have a gander at /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:16] I'm pretty sure I flagged it as boot partition [20:16] Colonel_P: basically, grub is installed in the mbr, the menu.lst tells it where to look [20:16] DaSkreech, yes, i want that for every line of the file. if the second column (use the regular expression \t ?) is not 0, sed [20:16] OK so GRUB is loading (that's the thing that's giving me the error) so the mbr is OK [20:16] I've gotta go get ready for work [20:17] manos: second char ? [20:18] Colonel_P: If your root partition is /dev/sdb4, then it should be set as (hd0,3) in menu.lst. [20:18] DaSkreech: no, second column.. [20:18] Oops, sda4, not sdb4. [20:18] manos: sorry 1/2 asleep [20:18] :) === fscons is now known as ingwa_ [20:22] my partition table: http://pastebin.com/m5e7c6089 [20:23] Hello... Can kde 4.2 (trunk) be compiled against the qt version in kubuntu 8.10? [20:23] ingwa_: ahmmm good question what does trunk need as minimum? [20:24] DaSkreech: if I knew, would I ask? :-P [20:24] ingwa_: I know that you can grab a kde-daily package [20:24] DaSkreech: oh? where?

[20:44] Get install test then remove the repos and run!!

[21:23] * DaSkreech pokes apachelogger :) [21:23] I guess you would login to the Neon session which would set all the stuff you need [21:24] "the neon session"? [21:24] It installs a trunk KDE 4.2 environment [21:24] You'd need to login to it I would guess [21:26] so I log out and then log in again with a "Neon" session? [21:27] Hmm, it says "Update the package cache"... How do I do that? (I'm not really an Ubuntu person) [21:28] ingwa_: sudo apt-get update [21:28] Is running adept enough? [21:28] Yep, something happened :-) [21:28] ingwa_: then sudo apt-get install kde-nightly kde-nightly-kdeplasm-addons etc. [21:28] * apachelogger starts searching something to eat [21:29] Hey [21:29] You can't just tell me "etc" and then go eat. :-) [21:30] would the general pattern perhaps be kde-nightly-kde where = edu, ...

[21:30] ingwa_: yes :P [21:31] hmm, couldn't find package kde-nightly-kdeedu [21:31] hm, I think we don't have edu (yet) [21:31] me again.... i'm trying to compile kdebase from trunk in ubuntu 8.10 beta, after doing cmakekde I ended up with the following error!

[21:31] ingwa_: install amarok-nightly-tools [21:32] marble is in nightly tools? [21:32] ingwa_: it comes with a tool called neonmake which will allow you to compile against the kde-nightly stack ;-) [21:32] ah neat [21:32] amarok-nightly-tools [21:32] hmmm [21:32] http://apachelog.blogspot.com/2008/08/project-neon-neonmake.html [21:33] So I just type neonmake instead of cmake? [21:34] ingwa_: yes, but you need to be in the kde-nightly session [21:34] right [21:34] or actually I think it will work in a normal session as well unless amarok-nightly itself is installed [21:34] But I will still be able to log into an ordinarey intrepid kubuntu, right? [21:34] ingwa_: yes [21:35] this is great [21:35] alt+T on the login screen [21:35] Ok, so now I have installed the packages you suggested above [21:36] Hmm, is there anything else than plasma and amarok? [21:36] I couldn't find edu, nor the games [21:37] network, pim, sdk, utils [21:37] graphics as well [21:40] No games?!!

[21:50] DaSkreech: yes [21:50] ingwa_: you need to run sudo apt-get update [21:50] adept doesn't auto-update the cache currently [21:50] ingwa_: Yea you have to rebuild the daabase by hand after adding a new repo [21:50] It's a known bug [21:50] so how to do that? [21:51] cache thingy ^^ :) [21:51] :-P [21:51] what's the incantation? [21:51] sudo /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index [21:51] No idea if adept has to be closed or anything [21:51] something happens... [21:51] I just closed it to be safe but might be fun to see what happens with it open [21:52] I closed it too :-L) [21:52] :-) * [21:52] done [21:53] yay! It finds them [21:53] yep [21:53] oooh can you check something for me? [21:53] whats the name of the compiz plugin that allows you to move your cursor to the side of the screen, and iconize all your running apps so you can choose the one you want? [21:53] i cant find it. [21:53] Any of you gents know if Kmouth Text-To-Speech runs well on Gnome? [21:53] can you see if kubuntu-desktop comes up in adept ? [21:53] i need that thing. [21:54] zume: Nothing should stop it from doing so [21:54] DaSkreech: yes, it does [21:54] DaSkreech: so, how do I actually start the installation? [21:54] Hmm I can't see it at all on mine [21:54] I can't get Kmouth to function. At first it wouldnt speak text, which is most likely my stupidity. But now the thing just crashes. [21:54] not even if you search? [21:54] I'm running 8.10 ubuntu [21:55] oh you click the arrow and you get more details with a check box that allows you to select for installation [21:55] DaSkreech: I marked koffice-kde4 for installation [21:55] not even when I search [21:55] Yes, I did that [21:55] DaSkreech how do i open kdewallet? and set pwd [21:55] Pleasures: should be in the system tray [21:55] system settings otherwise [21:55] DaSkreech i isnt [21:55] k [21:55] zume: run from the command line to see why it's crashing [21:56] DaSkreech cant find it. how to open by comand line [21:56] ingwa_: click the changes button Then apply changes [21:56] systemsettings [21:56] Yes, I found it under Adept [21:56] (the menu entry) [21:57] I think there should be a toolbar button === kdedev is now known as JohnFlux2 [21:57] DaSkreech, it seems to be working at the moment. I think something about its "manager" component was an issue. So do you know what it means when it asks for a file called "Command For Speaking Texts"? [21:57] maybe a config file? [21:58] Not sure :( [21:58] ingwa_: Functionality first usabilty second :-( [21:58] I got confused for a good while and I know how the system should work [21:58] It's very non obvious and non discoverable [21:59] But it has debtags so I'm ok :) [22:00] Shit, there is an error in the package [22:00] ingwa_: At least it's slightly faster than compiling [22:02] There is a collision with old koffice [22:03] done that DaSkreech but i see thiss at kde start. No command arguments supplied! [22:03] Usage: kdesudo [-u ] [22:03] KdeSudo will now exit... [22:03] Yay, I fixed it! [22:04] :-) [22:04] ingwa_ congrats [22:04] Pleasures: Were you running something as root before you logged out? [22:04] no.. [22:04] Don't know why it would want kdesudo then [22:04] i made firestarter to demand no pwd [22:04] k [22:05] thanks [22:05] btw, its unsafe to have no pwd for wallet.. [22:05] Ok, now I have kde 4.1.2 with koffice 2.0b2 [22:06] DaSkreech isnt it? [22:06] Presumably I also have the nightly build from amarok, but that's untested so far. [22:06] Yeah [22:06] DaSkreech: thanks a 1E+6 [22:06] ;-) [22:06] k [22:06] thx [22:06] ingwa_: Thought that you wanted 4.2 ? [22:06] now I just have to create my presentation, but that will go quickly because it will mostly be a demo [22:06] DaSkreech: yes, that's the nightly build, isn't it? [22:07] ok [22:07] Frankly I don't think I'll have time to build kdeedu, but I'll give it a try anyway [22:09] DaSkreech: so, I just svn up the sources, then neonmake ../kdeedu ? [22:09] hi [22:09] can some help me with vmware?
