| jussi01 | Mojo_risin: not sure if it has this, but try in terminal: asoundconf list | 00:01 |

| jussi01 | Mojo_risin: then: asoundconf set-default-card <cardname> | 00:02 |

| Ryunix | tacosarecool i have done | 01:35 |
| genii | Ryunix: Your router will keep a record that the dhcp IP is still good until the lease for it expires | 01:37 |
| Ryunix | genii i need a static ip for my network | 01:37 |
| Ryunix | im having to restart connections with my other computers | 01:37 |
| genii | Ryunix: Most routers have the capability to assign IP by MAC address | 01:38 |
| Ryunix | and im paying money for a static ip so i expect to be able to use it like in hardy.. | 01:38 |

| neversfelde | Guest30705: Nvidia Card? | 01:39 |
| Ryunix | is there a patched .deb for networkmanager ? | 01:40 |
| genii | Ryunix: You can also use the same method of assigning IP by mac address to the printer. On HP printers for instance, the test page of the printer tells you the MAC which you feed into the router | 01:40 |
| Ryunix | genii yeh i was looking at my routers page and it can but does this mean static ip's dont/wont work in intrepid ? | 01:41 |
| nejode | Ryunix: your best bet is to edit your interfaces file and restart your network | 01:42 |

| === david is now known as Guest88978 | ||
| Ryunix | thnx dude | 01:42 |
| genii | Ryunix: They work fine. However if you are setting an internal IP of the LAN to something like 199.5.6.7 which is for instance the staticv IP you paid for, the router is getting this IP from them (your ISP). So setting the server to this makes for routing nightmares | 01:42 |

| sevenseeker1 | ardchoille: yes, the problem is I upgraded from 8.04 and want to start over with my config... I just can't seem to figure out how to recreate what the initial install does | 01:44 |
| nejode | Ryunix: genii is right, you should make your router have the static public IP and forward it to your server/desktop | 01:45 |
| sevenseeker1 | ardchoille: I have become used to having it 'just work' and so never checked at the internals... I guess that is a price to pay | 01:46 |

| nejode | Ryunix: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html | 01:47 |
| nejode | Ryunix: in your router's config web page you should be able to asighn a static address to it | 01:48 |
| genii | Ryunix: If you are using the method I dscribed, no. You set the /etc/network/interfaces back to dhcp and auto. Then the router to assign always a given IP to the server. The server gets routing info it needs from router | 01:49 |
| tacosarecool | hello | 01:49 |

| genii | Ryunix: Then forward ports you need like 80 or so on from router to that IP you assigned by mac address to the server | 01:49 |
| tacosarecool | nalioth | 01:50 |
| sevenseeker1 | ardchoille: very interesting | 01:50 |
| Ryunix | genii first im gonna see if the router sees my comp as static brb | 01:50 |
| genii | I won't | 01:50 |
| sevenseeker1 | that is a neat way to flag things | 01:50 |

| genii | *It | 01:50 |
| [buRn] | can i install .rpm files in kubuntu? | 01:51 |
| ardchoille | [buRn]: no | 01:52 |
| tacosarecool | Darn it my video card isn't supported in 8.10 | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | [buRn]: look for the app in the repos, if you can't find that look for a .deb, if you can't find that compile it. never use .rpm packages | 01:52 |
| sevenseeker1 | [buRn]: you can run alien on them and convert to deb though | 01:52 |
| nalioth | tacosarecool: hi | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | alien is dangerous | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | !alien | 01:52 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 01:53 |
| sevenseeker1 | [buRn]: right, I should add that it is the last resort | 01:53 |
| [buRn] | ok, i was just asking, thnx for help | 01:53 |
| nejode | Ryunix: if your lan has a class A address (192.168.X.X/24) and you machine has a public IP you're going to have routing problems for sure | 01:53 |
| Ryunix | nejode what u mean ? | 01:54 |
| tacosarecool | nalioth are you the one who said your running 8.04 right? | 01:54 |
| tacosarecool | I left because It froze | 01:55 |
| tacosarecool | Cause my graphics card is crap under 8.10 | 01:55 |
| Ryunix | btw nejode genii: the manul edit worked, but what u mean problems ? i have been getting disconnects in the past without knowing what caused them | 01:55 |
| nejode | Ryunix: the job of a router is to "route" an internal lan to a external wan | 01:56 |
| genii | Ryunix: If you have for instance 1.2.3.4 manually assigned to server, then also 1.2.3.4 which the router is getting as a static IP assigned by ISP, then how do you tell it how to route packets from 1.2.3.4 instance 1 to 1.2.3.4 instance 2 ? eg | 01:57 |
| nejode | ...and the lan should have the same class address | 01:57 |
| tacosarecool | ah the lag! | 01:57 |
| === hawk_ is now known as hawk__ | ||
| nejode | quit for the day... bye | 01:59 |
| Ryunix | genii nejode my comp static is a 192.168.x.xx and my gateway ip is a 192.168.x.xxx | 01:59 |
| Ryunix | will i have problems then ? | 02:00 |
| tacosarecool | Ah my graphics card is crap under 8.10 | 02:00 |
| genii | Ryunix: No | 02:00 |
| Ryunix | genii: <3 k thnx c u's im calling it a night | 02:01 |
| genii | Ryunix: If your netmask is 255.255.255.0 then 192.168.X.1 is the usual gateway | 02:01 |
| Ryunix | k thnx dude | 02:01 |
| nalioth | tacosarecool: it was not i :( | 02:01 |
| Ryunix | or dudette? | 02:01 |

| jtisme | i usually run ff from the launch area but let me fire up kub 8.10 and see what it has as it is diff than 8.04 | 02:21 |

| jtisme | woody86, that should work but do firefox& to put in background | 02:23 |
| jtisme | brb | 02:23 |
| woody86 | dig, jtisme, thanks guys, I think when I removed all the Ubuntu stuff it removed FF because it comes installed on Ubuntu and not by default on Kubuntu :) | 02:23 |
| woody86 | I just did 'firefox' in the terminal and it said to install it, so I'm going to try that first :P | 02:24 |
| woody86 | but the logos, and launchers are still there for it?? | 02:25 |
| dig | woody86: not sure, but I guess os | 02:26 |
| woody86 | dig: yup, now it's working fine :D | 02:29 |

| sjdurfey | im trying to search for an install eclipse in kubuntu 8.10, and the command i am using is "sudo apt-cache search eclipse". its not even attempting to search the repos nor is it giving me an error message to inform me that i am using the command incorrectly. anyone have any idea what the problem is? | 02:35 |
| dr_willis | you dont need sudo with apt-cache search i belive | 02:36 |
| JontheEchidna | maybe the sudo | 02:36 |
| h00k | sjdurfey: I just did that....it searched for me, (the syntax appears correct) | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install eclipse | 02:36 |
| dr_willis | perhaps | 02:36 |
| h00k | $ sudo apt-cache search eclipse | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | !info eclipse | 02:37 |
| ubottu | eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.2-5ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 126 kB, installed size 416 kB | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | apt-cache search eclipse | 02:37 |
| sjdurfey | i tried that, it informed me the package name was incorrect | 02:37 |
| h00k | sjdurfey: can you apt-get update, first? | 02:37 |
| sjdurfey | tried it without the sudo, and nothing happened | 02:37 |
| sjdurfey | ill try | 02:37 |
| woody86 | dig: Obama is killing right now, but if you want to keep up with the election, check out http://www.myspace.com/decision08 | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | It aint over till the last recount 7 months from now..! :) | 02:38 |
| woody86 | dr_willis: haha, very true | 02:38 |
| sjdurfey | yeah, obama is distancing himself from mccain rather quickly, CNN has him at 194 electoral votes already | 02:38 |
| woody86 | sjdurfey: yup, 194 to 90 :D | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | can we start yelling 'obama stole the election' allready? or are the Rep's allowed to do that? :) | 02:39 |
| sjdurfey | cnn still has mccain at 69 | 02:39 |
| woody86 | msnbc has obama at 200 and mccain at 85 :D | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | If anything - the last few elections ahve taught us no to trust CNN and the other news sites.. | 02:39 |
| sjdurfey | haha, sounds like everyone has a different answer | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | We all know his popularity is due to the YouTube Obama-Babes videos! :) | 02:40 |
| woody86 | well, all the major news networks are pollitical, so they're going to have some bias, and some may be slower to get info in than others | 02:40 |
| sjdurfey | haha, i only saw a brief picture of her once | 02:40 |
| dig | just one question: do you guys vote on weekend or it is possible to vote on weekday(skip work?) | 02:41 |
| woody86 | dig: by law you are entitled to miss work to vote, and you're employer CANNOT repremand you in any way | 02:42 |
| sjdurfey | cnn is now saying obama won ohio, thats pretty key | 02:42 |
| JontheEchidna | police officers can't take vacation today though ;-) | 02:43 |
| JontheEchidna | I imagine they still get to vote | 02:43 |
| dig | great! | 02:43 |
| h00k | sjdurfey: how is the apt-cache? | 02:43 |
| woody86 | JontheEchidna: haha, I'm sure they work it out as not to miss work, either through early voting, or absentee voting | 02:43 |
| sjdurfey | update is still running, i just installed 8.10, and i took a leave of absence from ubuntu for a while, and totally forgot i had to do that | 02:44 |
| JontheEchidna | yeah, I just heard on the news that the officers aren't allowed to take vacation today :P | 02:44 |

| h00k | sjdurfey: my condolances for a slow cxion | 02:45 |
| woody86 | JontheEchidna: good thing I changed majors from Criminal justice to CIS :D | 02:45 |
| dig | When the result is likely out? | 02:45 |
| JontheEchidna | depends on how close the election is | 02:45 |
| sjdurfey | i want to know who is sucking up allllll the bandwidth | 02:45 |
| dig | 2 hours possible? | 02:45 |
| sjdurfey | i can sometimes get about 1mb/sec down, right now its going around 14kb/sec :( | 02:45 |
| h00k | sjdurfey: maybe try a different mirror | 02:46 |
| woody86 | dig: I'm not sure, normally these "not-official" vote counts are released early, but they have to "Officially" count them all and get the official tallies | 02:46 |
| sjdurfey | its not just the update, its everything i try to do | 02:46 |
| JontheEchidna | and in some timezones the polls won't be closed for a few hours yet | 02:46 |
| woody86 | true | 02:46 |
| unity`Buntu | okay woah | 02:46 |
| woody86 | california and Hawaii still have 2 hours left before they close | 02:47 |
| unity`Buntu | can anyone help me out with gnump3d | 02:47 |
| unity`Buntu | not 2 hours. | 02:47 |

| sjdurfey | at the moment im not part of a users group, but there is one not too far from me and they agreed to help with the install fest, but i would like to have a few people help with advertising it, and setting up a booth in the student union so the other students can at least see what Ubuntu is all about | 02:51 |

| Ashex | Plug in ntfs drive | 03:04 |
| Ashex | get detection and prompt to enter password | 03:04 |
| Ashex | enter password, but it doesn't mount due to a unclean unmount from last time around | 03:04 |
| Ashex | but, there's no prompt or message about this | 03:04 |
| Ashex | the password prompt goes away, and the icon in Dolphin doesn't change. Clicking the icon does nothing | 03:05 |
| Ashex | Would that be a reportable bug or a regression? | 03:05 |
| JontheEchidna | Ash-Fox: kdesudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 03:05 |
| JontheEchidna | add the line | 03:05 |
| JontheEchidna | blacklist pcspkr | 03:05 |
| JontheEchidna | save, reboot | 03:05 |
| Ashex | JontheEchidna, ha, I've been trying to figure out how to disable it for years | 03:06 |
| JontheEchidna | hehe | 03:06 |
| Ash-Fox | JontheEchidna, thank god | 03:06 |

| woody86 | how can I add a launcher like in 8.04 where it has a block of 4 little launchers together? | 03:06 |
| Ashex | so, anyone? reportable bug or not? | 03:07 |

| tacosarecool | Hooray! | 04:08 |
| tacosarecool | I'm so happy! | 04:08 |
| JontheEchidna | I bet Obama voted for McCain just cause he could | 04:08 |
| JontheEchidna | :P | 04:08 |
| genii | It's slow here right now, but please remember politics is !ot | 04:09 |
| scribbles | I can hear the people upstairs screaming | 04:09 |
| scribbles | doors are slamming in my apartment buildling | 04:09 |
| tacosarecool | woot! | 04:09 |
| scribbles | people yelling yesssss | 04:09 |
| tacosarecool | Sounds like a fun apartment | 04:09 |
| scribbles | :) | 04:09 |
| genii | I wonder if they use Kubuntu ;) | 04:10 |
| scribbles | just maybe | 04:10 |
| scribbles | it is for human beings you know ;) | 04:10 |
| genii | scribbles: This is true! | 04:10 |
| dig | that will be cool. | 04:10 |

| dig | !ot > me | 04:11 |
| ubottu | dig, please see my private message | 04:11 |
| tacosarecool | Probably | 04:13 |
| genii | tiklado: Perhaps if they subsidise a crapload of cheap laptops running Kubuntu | 04:13 |
| tacosarecool | because Obama doesn't support the war I think even though the controversy said so I don't think he will support the war | 04:14 |
| tiklado | hahaha | 04:14 |
| genii | !ot | 04:14 |
| ubottu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 04:14 |
| genii | Try and remeber that ##politics exists :) | 04:14 |
| sjdurfey | tiklado: the economist did a survey of all the countries around the world, and something like 95% of the people who responded would have voted for Obama | 04:15 |
| tiklado | well it doesnt matter if obama will support the war, but the fact is US industries relies on weapons for war..how can US survive the recession if it will not support the war? | 04:15 |
| woody86 | is there any way to add the 5-a-day applet to Kubuntu? | 04:15 |
| genii | Does anyone have any outstanding Kubuntu support issues? | 04:16 |
| tiklado | quite paradoxical..i think..but i think Obama winning is somehow a step towards global peace..what you think people? | 04:16 |
| genii | woody86: Yes, it works same on Kubuntu as on regular Ubuntu | 04:16 |
| woody86 | genii: I ran all the stuff on the wiki page, and installed the 5-a-day applet, but can't find it when I click on "Add Applet" on the panel? | 04:17 |
| genii | tiklado: I think we need to remember to stay ontopic and not discuss politics in the support channel to such an extent | 04:17 |
| genii | woody86: OK, give me a minute to look into it | 04:18 |
| woody86 | genii: I'm running 8.10 just FYI, thanks :) | 04:18 |
| tiklado | well i think poen source software is a political issue..anyway.. | 04:19 |
| tacosarecool | I'm running 8.10 but it doesn't support x300 linux is supposed to support older hardware I think this canonical is trying to make a vista | 04:19 |
| genii | tiklado: Yes, but not much to do with helping people solve their Kubuntu support issues in this channel. Which is it's purpose | 04:19 |
| woody86 | tiklado: I was just thinking that! Windows is the republicans, Mac is the Dems, and Linux is the Green Party :D | 04:19 |
| tacosarecool | But who's the liberterians? | 04:20 |
| tacosarecool | and the peace and freedom? | 04:20 |
| woody86 | nobody cares about them :P | 04:20 |
| woody86 | lol | 04:20 |
| genii | woody86: Best I can do right now is point you to the Kubuntu-specific 5-a-day https://wiki.kubuntu.org/5-A-Day | 04:20 |
| tacosarecool | nader was peace and freedom | 04:20 |
| tiklado | well linux will never be green..i think it is more of red.. | 04:20 |
| woody86 | genii: ok thanks, I was using the ubuntu one before, so hopefully this will work :D | 04:20 |
| tiklado | well i think it is time to stop this shit.. | 04:21 |
| tiklado | okay..thanks guys..:P | 04:21 |
| woody86 | tiklado: ah ah ah, PG language | 04:21 |
| tacosarecool | Oh the lag | 04:21 |
| tiklado | sorry..do you guys know how am i going to run my other OS without rebooting from kubuntu? | 04:22 |
| genii | tiklado: Inside a VM, possibly? | 04:23 |
| woody86 | what's the KDE equivelent of "deb" in a terminal? | 04:23 |
| genii | woody86: You mean to install a package? | 04:24 |
| tiklado | VM? | 04:24 |
| woody86 | genii: I guess so, it says to deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/5-a-day/ubuntu intrepid main | 04:24 |
| woody86 | but terminal says "deb"s not known | 04:24 |
| genii | woody86: deb is same for all *buntu ..... lag... Ah, they mean to add this to your repository list in /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:24 |
| woody86 | genii: why won't typing in "deb" work though? | 04:25 |
| genii | woody86: Because "deb" is not any name of some command | 04:26 |
| tacosarecool | Lag wish I had new graphics card | 04:26 |
| woody86 | genii: then why does it want me to put that in a terminal? | 04:26 |
| genii | woody86: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/5-a-day/ubuntu intrepid main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update | 04:27 |
| woody86 | genii: ah, wait, nevermind, I got it now :) | 04:27 |
| genii | woody86: Ah, good :) | 04:27 |
| thedark_ | I am not able to record in Audacity | 04:28 |
| thedark_ | anyone can give me any ideas what to look for? | 04:28 |
| tacosarecool | Go to kmix | 04:29 |
| tacosarecool | And make sure you mic is capturing | 04:29 |
| genii | The Intel HDA cards also are known for mic issues without recompiling alsa as described in the !intelhda factoid | 04:30 |
| thedark_ | aw man... I am newb I can't recompile :( | 04:31 |
| thedark_ | okay I have kmix open | 04:31 |
| thedark_ | there is no mute/unmute button for the mic boost channel | 04:32 |
| thedark_ | but it is at max volume | 04:32 |
| woody86 | genii: I went through all the 5-A-Day instructions, but it's still not in my list of applets? | 04:33 |
| genii | thedark_: In Konsole, if you issue: lspci -nn | grep Audio what says it? | 04:33 |

| genii | favro: Yup, thats the one | 04:36 |
| genii | woody86: I'm asking now in #kubuntu-bugs but it seems fairly slow there right now :/ | 04:36 |
| woody86 | genii: ah, thanks again :) | 04:37 |
| draik | How do I get the Menu to appear under the GIMP window. I don't have File Edit View, etc | 04:40 |
| genii | woody86: I need to go /away however perhaps keep asking every so often on this subject in channel #kubuntu-bugs | 04:41 |
| thedark_ | the advice it has for mics isn't really helpful... | 04:42 |
| woody86 | ok thanks genii :D | 04:42 |
| thedark_ | I don't have windows | 04:43 |
| genii | thedark_: Skip to part where it reads "Update to the Latest Version of ALSA" then just follow instructions there | 04:44 |
| genii | OK, gotta really leave now... gnite | 04:44 |
| thedark_ | night | 04:45 |
| robd | Hey guys | 05:00 |
| robd | Just curious, what's the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu? | 05:00 |
| robd | Is it literally KDE vs Gnome or are there other package differences? | 05:00 |
| rrittenhouse | I just installed Kubuntu 8.10 64bit with the Desktop cd by choosing "Install Kubuntu" at the first screen. It installed pretty quick. I rebooted to be dropped into a terminal. I had to startx myself, is this normal? | 05:00 |
| faileas | no | 05:01 |

| sparr | when kvirc launches kfmclient for a http URL, and kfmclient launches firefox, my existing firefox instance is moved to the current desktop. this is new and unwanted behavior in kde 4 / kubuntu intrepid. how can i fix it? | 06:20 |
| Sokal-EC | ok why does firefox not show up in kmenu? | 06:26 |
| sparr | none of the keyboard shortcuts for the Run Command Interface component are working for me. alt+f2, ctrl+alt+del, etc | 06:29 |
| sparr | kde4 might have been ready if they had waited one more release :( | 06:29 |
| sparr | how do i configure a vpn connection in kubuntu intrepid? | 06:30 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: run krunner | 06:31 |
| sparr | and then? | 06:32 |
| sparr | krunner | 06:33 |
| sparr | <unknown program name>(1750)/: Communication problem with "krunner" , it probably crashed. | 06:33 |
| sparr | Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." " | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: there is your alt+F2 | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | That's why alt=F2 doesn't work | 06:33 |
| proteusguy | I just noticed kdf is gone from intrepid. Why was it removed and what is the pdf viewer recommended now? | 06:33 |
| DaSkreech | proteusguy: okular | 06:34 |
| emilsedgh | proteusguy: okular rocks! | 06:34 |
| proteusguy | thanx guys! | 06:34 |
| sparr | any further suggestions? | 06:34 |
| emilsedgh | proteusguy: "Okular is a universal document viewer based on KPDF for KDE 4. " | 06:34 |
| emilsedgh | sparr: try running kded (maybe kded4) | 06:35 |
| emilsedgh | it may solve it | 06:35 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: do you have qdbus running? | 06:35 |
| sparr | kded | 06:35 |
| sparr | KDE Daemon (kded) already running. | 06:35 |
| sparr | kded4 | 06:36 |
| sparr | kded(1853): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server | 06:36 |
| sparr | DaSkreech: probably not | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | smelt like it | 06:36 |
| sparr | qdbus | 06:36 |
| sparr | Could not connect to D-Bus server: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-p3BlrnO7O0: Connection refused | 06:36 |
| proteusguy | DaSkreech emilsedgh - okular does look pretty nice. regards. | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | proteusguy: It's leagues ahead of KPDF | 06:36 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: sort out dbus then you'll be ok | 06:37 |
| sparr | i have no idea what you mean | 06:37 |
| emilsedgh | sparr: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 06:37 |
| sparr | the only thing i ever used dbus for before is fspot | 06:37 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: prepare to have that change | 06:37 |
| === blizzzek is now known as blizzz | ||
| sparr | ok, restarted dbus | 06:38 |
| sparr | which restarted a number of services | 06:38 |
| sparr | no change in output of qdbus | 06:40 |
| sparr | and now alt-tab doesnt work either | 06:40 |
| * sparr wants hardy back | 06:40 | |
| faileas | sparr: reinstall it then, or virtualise it | 06:40 |
| sparr | about due for a reinstall, been going for a few years on this box | 06:41 |
| sparr | but, right now, id like to resolve this problem so that i can at least effectively troubleshoot my other problems | 06:42 |
| sparr | new output: | 06:42 |

| sparr | i know nothing about dbus | 06:44 |
| DaSkreech | huh? | 06:44 |
| DaSkreech | Krunner is running already? | 06:45 |
| sparr | 4 instances of krunner are running | 06:45 |
| dig | !krunner > me | 06:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about krunner | 06:45 |
| emilsedgh | sparr: that must be a common problem, i have this problem time to time on kde svn, so i think searching about it will help | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | It's a Uniqie app so yeah they probably should die | 06:46 |
| sparr | im going to reboot | 06:48 |
| sparr | i HATE rebooting to fix problems | 06:48 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: you could level bounce | 06:48 |
| sparr | http://rafb.net/p/wjHfmM46.html | 06:49 |

| faileas | hmm.. anyone else having problems with medibuntu? | 06:50 |
| illmortal | Can someone assist me in mounting my windows hard drive? Right clickin and clickin on "mount" doesn't do the trick | 06:50 |
| === kerry_ is now known as ForgeAus | ||
| ForgeAus | hey all | 06:50 |
| faileas | illmortal: what error does it give? and was it shut down properly perviously? | 06:50 |
| ForgeAus | how do I use dd if=/dev/hda of=grldr bs=512 count=1 if it can't find /dev/hda (I don't understand why it can't find /dev/hda | 06:51 |
| illmortal | no error what so ever. | 06:51 |
| faileas | ForgeAus: won't do anything i think. might bitch | 06:51 |
| illmortal | it acts like it's mountin but doesn't, faileas | 06:51 |
| dig | illmortal: can you see windows hard disks? | 06:51 |
| faileas | http://pastebin.com/m32a30282 is the error i have when i try to run apt-get update | 06:51 |
| ForgeAus | faileas then how do I copy the boot sector to a file? | 06:52 |
| illmortal | yep, the disk is shown in the storage folder but when i click on it i go into an empty folder | 06:52 |
| dig | illmortal: May I suggest you login into windows, then back to kubuntu | 06:52 |
| ForgeAus | I thought that was the command to do it | 06:52 |
| illmortal | that's the problem dig... windows took a crap and now im tryin to figure out how i can get some files back | 06:52 |
| illmortal | windows keeps restartin as soon as im about to log in. | 06:52 |
| ForgeAus | (note the of= bit I modified from backup.boot | 06:52 |
| faileas | illmortal: ahh. you might want to try mounting it in CLI | 06:52 |
| illmortal | cli? | 06:53 |
| faileas | command line | 06:53 |
| illmortal | konsole? | 06:53 |
| ForgeAus | to grldr (since I want it to be the grub loader boot sector) | 06:53 |
| faileas | illmortal: yes | 06:53 |
| ForgeAus | (which is what it currently is) | 06:53 |
| illmortal | how would i go about that? | 06:53 |
| faileas | I think it would be like sudo mkdir /media/foo (to make a mountpoint) | 06:53 |
| faileas | then sudo mount /dev/sdx1 (or whatever the drive name is) /media/foo | 06:54 |
| illmortal | foo?... | 06:54 |
| faileas | it will then bitch and give you the correct command if its a locked drive | 06:54 |
| faileas | illmortal: well you can replace foo with anything | 06:54 |
| faileas | it needs to be /media/mountpointname | 06:54 |
| illmortal | you're losin me. | 06:55 |
| illmortal | sudo mkdir /media/sda1 | 06:56 |
| illmortal | sudo mount /dev/sda1 | 06:56 |
| illmortal | right? | 06:56 |
| faileas | no no | 06:56 |
| faileas | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 | 06:56 |
| faileas | first step is making a mount point. the second is mounting a drive to that mount point | 06:56 |
| faileas | i wonder | 06:57 |
| faileas | !mount | 06:57 |
| ubottu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 06:57 |
| faileas | nope | 06:57 |
| illmortal | Operation not supported | 06:57 |
| illmortal | Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use | 06:57 |
| faileas | ahh | 06:57 |
| faileas | does it give an alternate command? | 06:57 |
| illmortal | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force | 06:57 |
| faileas | ya.. | 06:58 |
| illmortal | "if i don't have windows" | 06:58 |
| faileas | dosen't matter | 06:58 |
| illmortal | ni8ce! | 06:58 |
| faileas | the 'correct' way to do it is to booth into windows, and shutdown ;p | 06:58 |
| illmortal | nice!* | 06:58 |
| faileas | that's the 'unsafe' way ;p | 06:58 |
| illmortal | thank you faileas :P | 07:00 |
| faileas | illmortal: np. hope you get your data out :) | 07:00 |
| Creed | Hello | 07:01 |
| ForgeAus | hey Creed :) | 07:01 |
| ForgeAus | faileas uh is / supposed to be also mounted as a media/hdx ? | 07:01 |
| Creed | I am very new to the linux community and have a question | 07:01 |
| ForgeAus | Creed, just ask it | 07:02 |
| ForgeAus | asking to ask something is pointless lol | 07:02 |
| faileas | ForgeAus: er... root isn't supposed to be mounted as anything but root. root tends to be ON a parttion methinks | 07:02 |
| sparr | back. reboot fixed dbus problems it seems | 07:02 |
| sparr | so now back to my real question. how do i get a vpn working in kde4? | 07:02 |
| ForgeAus | yes faileas, ok, so how do I get a copy of my boot sector? | 07:02 |
| ForgeAus | in fact where exactly is the boot sector? is it on hda, hda1, hda2 (where hda2 = / afaik) | 07:03 |
| faileas | ForgeAus: er... sadly enough, no idea. never done it before | 07:03 |
| faileas | its on HDA i think | 07:03 |
| faileas | its supposed to be kinda 'outside' the standard partitions | 07:03 |
| Creed | I was trying to do a distro up over wireless connection after all the packages were fininshed downloading and the instalation had begun I lost my wireless connection and the install broke | 07:03 |
| ForgeAus | well the command is generally something like dd if=/dev/hda of=backup.boot bs=512 count=1 | 07:03 |
| ForgeAus | (where backup.boot = the filename) | 07:03 |
| ForgeAus | but when I do that, I get it telling me dd: opening `/dev/hda': No such file or directory | 07:04 |
| faileas | hmm | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | maybe its hda1 or / instead? | 07:04 |
| Creed | now X will not load all I can access is command line | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | ie /dev/hda1 or / ??? but / doesn't sound right to me | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | hmm why doesn't grub have a grldr of its own lol grub4dos does | 07:04 |
| ForgeAus | (but I doubt that one would work with linux) | 07:05 |
| ForgeAus | I might ask in #grub maybe they'll know | 07:05 |
| faileas | hmm | 07:05 |
| faileas | actually i think mine has a uldr or something | 07:05 |
| faileas | one moment | 07:05 |
| Creed | is there a way to connect to a wireless network over command line | 07:06 |
| sparr | Creed: yes | 07:06 |
| ForgeAus | faileas does stage1 or one of those files = the boot sector anyway? | 07:07 |
| faileas | ForgeAus: i don't mess with grub | 07:07 |
| faileas | its a TIFM for me | 07:07 |
| ForgeAus | I'm not changing it, I'm trying to make a copy for ntldr to chain to it | 07:07 |
| ForgeAus | It worked ok when I did it on my pc, can't remember how I did it exactly but I think I just used the format of the command I pasted | 07:08 |
| ForgeAus | just this time its giving me an error I'm not sure why exactly | 07:08 |
| Creed | Sparr: what is the commands to do so | 07:08 |
| sparr | Creed: dont remember, sorry | 07:09 |
| faileas | ForgeAus: oh, when ntldr chained it, i seemed to have a gldr or something on my drive. this was on wubi tho | 07:09 |
| sparr | busy re-learning command line stuff for VPNs | 07:09 |
| sparr | since kde4 doesnt have vpn support yet (wtf) | 07:09 |
| Creed | thanks | 07:09 |
| grizzancs | ForgeAus: maybe it's /dev/sda now ? | 07:09 |
| sparr | gonna switch over to gnome and give this a shot | 07:09 |
| faileas | ..... | 07:09 |
| ForgeAus | no grizzancs this pc has only IDE drives no sata | 07:09 |
| faileas | ForgeAus: he's right | 07:09 |
| ForgeAus | but otherwise you'd be right (or if it were scsi or other) | 07:09 |
| faileas | on newer kernels EVERYTHING is SDA | 07:09 |
| Creed | Does anybody else know how to make a wireless network connection via command line | 07:10 |
| faileas | SDX even | 07:10 |
| ForgeAus | really? this is only feisty anyway | 07:10 |
| faileas | Creed: most likely NetworkManager | 07:10 |
| faileas | the app. never used it myself tho | 07:10 |
| grizzancs | ForgeAus: ls /dev/?da will tell you | 07:11 |
| ForgeAus | uh? | 07:11 |
| ForgeAus | that didn't do anything | 07:11 |
| ForgeAus | just took me back to a commandline | 07:11 |
| grizzancs | hmm, interesting | 07:11 |
| Creed | I am sorry but like I said I am new to linux command line interface | 07:11 |
| ForgeAus | oh wait I used an I not an l | 07:11 |
| ForgeAus | its ok... yeah says no such file or directory | 07:12 |
| grizzancs | where are your hard drives? :D is that only one hard drive in your pc ? | 07:12 |
| grizzancs | *there | 07:12 |
| Creed | I need to know the exact command string | 07:12 |
| ForgeAus | actually I don't get why /dev/hda doesn't exist thats weird | 07:13 |
| grizzancs | me neither. type mount, and check what drive is / mounted on | 07:13 |
| ForgeAus | ok look slike your right sda | 07:13 |
| ForgeAus | maybe thats why | 07:13 |
| faileas | Creed: try man iwconfig | 07:13 |
| faileas | man iwconfig | 07:13 |
| ForgeAus | thats very odd, since /media/hda1 is mounted there | 07:14 |
| ForgeAus | I just assumed everything was hda (also being that its an ide not sata drive) | 07:14 |
| ForgeAus | ok retrying with sda | 07:14 |
| Creed | faileas: thank you very much | 07:15 |
| faileas | Creed: np. did it work? | 07:15 |
| Creed | I dual boot between WinXP and Kubuntu at the moment I am on XP I will try this after rebooting | 07:17 |
| faileas | kk | 07:19 |
| faileas | Creed: man = manual page. fraid you'll have to make sense of it, but that should put you in the right direction i suspect | 07:20 |
| ForgeAus | must have been feisty where the changeover to sda was... | 07:23 |
| ForgeAus | I don't understand why mtab (and/or fstab) are mounting a device thats sda1 and calling it hda1 ... thats very confusing | 07:24 |
| sparr | stuck using gnome so i can get on a vpn | 07:24 |
| sparr | how annoying | 07:24 |
| weedar | just as annoying as not being able to use the keyboard and mouse because they | 07:24 |
| weedar | 're bluetooth | 07:24 |
| sparr | ForgeAus: old naming scheme vs new naming scheme? | 07:28 |
| ForgeAus | ahh looks like it worked :) | 07:28 |
| ForgeAus | yeah sparr, I think so | 07:29 |
| ectospasm | so I'm warming up to KDE4... the interface is really slick, but I wish I could say it was intuitive or easy to use. It's not, at least in the way that I expect | 07:29 |
| ForgeAus | whatever uses mtab might have kept it for compatibility purposes or something | 07:29 |
| ForgeAus | ectospasm, could be worse but yes for the most part I agree with you | 07:29 |
| ectospasm | I have an issue that I don't even know how to begin to report: adding and removing widgets in a reliable manner escapes me | 07:29 |
| ForgeAus | I'm still not entirely happy with kde4 yet.... | 07:29 |
| ectospasm | ...to the panel, I mean. | 07:30 |
| ForgeAus | uh the only problem I've had there is some of the widgets don't have an icon for me... | 07:30 |
| ForgeAus | but adding and removing them they show up a number in the add/remove widgets box | 07:30 |
| ForgeAus | so you just click the minus button to remove one | 07:31 |
| ectospasm | ForgeAus: how do you add them? Making the star yellow? THat doesn't always work for me | 07:31 |
| ForgeAus | no making the star yellow afiak sets them as a favourite or something, I don't know I don't use the star | 07:31 |
| faileas | ectospasm: select and hit the add button? | 07:31 |
| ectospasm | And clicking the red minus removes all the widgets, from all panels, not just the ones I want to remove | 07:31 |
| ectospasm | faileas: that doesn't work all the time for me, and I can't figure out why | 07:31 |
| DarkriftX | i have a window that died on me | 07:31 |
| ForgeAus | uh, really? theres another red minus somewhere... or somethings wrong or your KDE4 is different from mine | 07:32 |
| DarkriftX | cant get it to go away, how do i find out what process owns it? | 07:32 |
| ectospasm | DarkriftX: xkill | 07:32 |
| ectospasm | Alt-F2 and run xkill | 07:32 |
| DarkriftX | nice | 07:33 |
| DarkriftX | thx | 07:33 |
| DarkriftX | maybe you guys could help with my other problem :( | 07:33 |
| DarkriftX | ok, i have "for i in $(busybox|grep .*,.*,.*,.*); do echo $i; done" but $i always has a comma at the end. what would be the best command line method to remove the comma? (i know my regex sucks) | 07:33 |
| ectospasm | I'm glad that worked... had to run Alt-F2 myself to make sure it still worked | 07:33 |
| ectospasm | busybox is teh suck | 07:33 |
| ectospasm | I hate it at work | 07:34 |
| DarkriftX | its for a phone lol | 07:34 |
| DarkriftX | this is on the tmobile g1 | 07:34 |
| DarkriftX | lots of commands missing, we are using busybox to add them in | 07:34 |
| ectospasm | why the commas? | 07:34 |
| DarkriftX | basically i want a script to read the list of all busybox commands and do "cp -s busybox $i" | 07:34 |
| DarkriftX | because all lines with 3+ commas are a list of commands | 07:34 |
| DarkriftX | other lines are text descriptions | 07:34 |
| ectospasm | you probably want to wrap the regex in quotes, so the shell doesn't interpret the expression | 07:35 |
| DarkriftX | k | 07:35 |
| ectospasm | that's only a guess, and the grep on the g1 may be effectively worthless | 07:36 |
| DarkriftX | so how do i remove a comma from $i on every line? | 07:36 |
| DarkriftX | its busybox grep lol | 07:36 |
| DarkriftX | its working though | 07:36 |
| DarkriftX | just has command, | 07:36 |
| ectospasm | try sed | 07:36 |
| ectospasm | that's about the best I can offer, since I don't know sed | 07:36 |
| ectospasm | or awk | 07:37 |
| ectospasm | and my perl is so rusty it's not useful to anybody, even me | 07:37 |
| DarkriftX | how do i say "for i in command; do this and do this; done" | 07:39 |
| DarkriftX | the and part i dont know how to do | 07:39 |
| DarkriftX | | caused probs lol | 07:40 |
| DarkriftX | or is it & | 07:40 |
| ectospasm | DarkriftX: cmd1 && cmd2 [&& cmd3...] | 07:40 |
| ectospasm | if cmd1 fails, it won't execute cmd2 | 07:41 |
| illmortal | Hey guys.... I have to reinstall windows and I wanted to know if that's possible without gettin in the way of my Linux install? | 07:41 |

| illmortal | ok | 07:42 |
| DarkriftX | oh, ok | 07:42 |
| DarkriftX | thx | 07:42 |
| grizzancs | DarkriftX: or if you don't want to stop at fail you can just use ; | 07:42 |
| DarkriftX | ok | 07:42 |
| illmortal | wait... will i need a floppy drive, faileas? | 07:42 |
| faileas | !grub | 07:43 |

| DarkriftX | man | 07:44 |
| ardchoille | DarkriftX: you can remove every comma from a file with: sed -i 's/,//g' filename | 07:44 |
| DarkriftX | ive tried everything | 07:45 |
| DarkriftX | its not a file | 07:45 |
| DarkriftX | its piped from another command | 07:45 |
| DarkriftX | for i in $(busybox|grep .*,.*,.*,.*); do echo $i; done | 07:45 |
| DarkriftX | but $i always has a comma at the end | 07:45 |
| DarkriftX | the output is always "text," | 07:45 |
| ardchoille | DarkriftX: try this in a terminal: echo "this is, a test" | sed 's/,//g' | 07:46 |
| === patrick is now known as com_h | ||
| dwidmann | Well, another thing that could be tried is to pipe it into tr ',' '' | 07:47 |
| dwidmann | hmm, seems it won't like emptyness though :\ | 07:48 |
| DarkriftX | if i do sed anything with just "sed 'something here'" it locks up | 07:48 |
| DarkriftX | and i cant press ctrl+c in here | 07:48 |
| DarkriftX | so its a reboot | 07:48 |
| DarkriftX | space would work lol | 07:50 |
| === root is now known as Guest82710 | ||
| DarkriftX | damnit | 07:51 |
| DarkriftX | everything i do puts me in interactive mode with something | 07:51 |
| DarkriftX | and i have to reboot to get out | 07:51 |
| ardchoille | DarkriftX: Don't ctrl+c or "q" or Esc work? | 07:54 |
| DarkriftX | for i in $(busybox|grep '.*,.*,.*,.*'); do XXXXX; done <-----what would be the format if i wanted XXXXX to 'tr "," " " | echo $output' (and what would be $output's name? | 07:55 |
| DarkriftX | ctrl+c kills my connection to the device | 07:55 |

| noaXess | hi all.. wasup? | 08:18 |
| noaXess | on kubuntu planet :) | 08:18 |
| eagle_y2 | can someone figure out watz wrong with my installation | 08:18 |
| Seaboy | jussi01: no, I did it before and have the same problem, but after that i've disabled it | 08:18 |
| noaXess | just a question for scanning.. i use kooka for scanning documents or pics.. but with kooka i can't create a pdf directly.. | 08:18 |
| noaXess | is there any other scan tool for kde that can directly create pdfs? | 08:18 |
| eagle_y2 | kubuntu 8.10 is crashing after i m entering my login | 08:19 |
| Seaboy | jussi01: but I've installed nvidia-glx-173, | 08:19 |

| eagle_y2 | displayes KDE 4.1 one hdd icon then keyboard stops responding | 08:20 |
| vasilisa | Seaboy: usually sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh does it... but back up your xorg before doing that | 08:21 |
| === patrick is now known as com_h | ||
| Seaboy | vasilisa: and you think it may solve my problem? | 08:22 |
| vasilisa | Seaboy: Perhaps. Another way is to run envy-ng, it makes xorg for you and installs the latest driver for your gfx card | 08:23 |
| eagle_y2 | jussi01 can u figure out | 08:23 |
| Seaboy | vasilisa: thanks, i'm going to try it | 08:24 |

| Seaboy | how can I use envy to install my driver in console mode? | 08:40 |
| ardchoille | !envy | Seaboy | 08:41 |
| ubottu | Seaboy: 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 | 08:41 |
| Seaboy | ubottu: I have a problem with my desktop that only shows a white screen, sb told me it may help | 08:42 |

| Seaboy | ardchoille: no, I just have one desktop, and the problem happened for that, and now I'm in live mode so I need to get my answer fast | 08:48 |
| ardchoille | Seaboy: there's another channel you might try | 08:49 |
| ardchoille | !forums | Seaboy | 08:49 |
| ubottu | Seaboy: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 08:49 |
| ardchoille | noaXess: those apps are gtk-based, you might try asking in #ubuntu | 08:49 |

| exia_ | hi guys.. can anybody tell me how to disable NAT or send packets from localhost to global net? i mean my shoutcast server works perfect on localhost:8000, but i also use no-ip daemon which also works perfect... but when i try to add :8000 to my domain, it doenst want to load anything | 08:53 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: did you find any info in ~/.xsession-errors ? | 08:53 |
| exia_ | so shoutcast informs me that i must disable some nat, firewall etc. | 08:53 |
| eagle_y2j | its says permission denied | 08:53 |
| exia_ | yes | 08:54 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: aha :) | 08:54 |
| eagle_y2j | ardchoille i tried sudo ~/.xsession-errors too | 08:54 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: do you get permission denied when trying to open ~/.xsession-errors? | 08:54 |
| eagle_y2j | then it proclaims file not found stuff | 08:54 |
| eagle_y2j | yup | 08:55 |
| ardchoille | there's the problem | 08:55 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.xsession-errors | 08:55 |
| eagle_y2j | user to be replaced with my user name ? | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: you can run it as I posted it | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: also check and see if root owns any other files in your home: find /home/$USER -user root | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: root shouldn't own anything in your home dir | 08:57 |
| eagle_y2j | sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.xsession-errors results :cannot access | 08:57 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: ls -lha ~/.xsession-errors | 08:58 |
| ardchoille | who owns that file? | 08:58 |
| eagle_y2j | ardchoille it says no such file | 08:59 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: ok, you just told me that you got permission denied while trying to open that file, now you're saying it doesn't exist? | 09:00 |
| exia_ | how should I disable NAT through shell? | 09:01 |
| eagle_y2j | ardchoille i typed :- /home/$USER -user root | 09:01 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: find /home/$USER -user root | 09:01 |
| ardchoille | that finds all files on your home owned by root | 09:02 |
| eagle_y2j | it results nothing | 09:04 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: does ~/.xsession-errors exist? | 09:04 |
| eagle_y2j | yes its there | 09:05 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: who owns it? | 09:05 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: open ~/.xsession-errors and see if there is any info about crashes | 09:05 |
| eagle_y2j | ardchoille does this takes time to open ? | 09:07 |
| eagle_y2j | as it has accepted command but nothing turns up | 09:07 |
| ardchoille | what command did you issue? | 09:08 |
| eagle_y2j | open ~/.xsession-errors | 09:08 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: that won't do anything, my fault for not making these commands easier | 09:09 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: nano ~/.xsession-errors | 09:09 |
| mike-solidus | hey, i'm on the beta and i want to upgrade to the new stable, how do i do this? i cant use the standerd adept_manager because it no longer exists. I found out adept manager is an option but the --dist-upgrade does not work | 09:09 |
| ardchoille | nano is a command line editor, you can use f8 to scroll page-by-page and f7 to scroll back up | 09:09 |

| ardchoille | favro: Thanks, I had missed his question | 09:13 |
| favro | np | 09:13 |
| mike-solidus | ardchoille: hmm that only updated 2 things, which means i guess i got some problems with 8.10, my kwin crashes on startup everytime | 09:14 |
| ardchoille | mike-solidus: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:15 |
| ardchoille | mike-solidus: "update" updates your software sources | 09:15 |
| ardchoille | eagle_y2j: I'm not sure how I can help with that | 09:16 |

| andy151 | Hi guys. Just thinking about upgrading from 8.04 REMIX to 8.10. Can anyone tell me, does 8.10 use/upgrade the .kde4 directory, or will it upgrade my old kde3 .kde directory? I'd like it to use my .kde4 (even if that involves renaming it etc) | 10:35 |
| marekt | ok i done it with installind openssh-server | 10:35 |
| marekt | can you tell me about the speed? it is awful - about 40 kBps, should be much much more | 10:35 |
| Seaboy | jussi01: any idea? | 10:35 |
| Seaboy | JP-sNL3: any idea? | 10:35 |
| jussi01 | Seaboy: what did you do to cause this? what were your actions last time it was working? | 10:36 |
| Seaboy | jussi01: I've installed nvidia-glx-173, but after that I worked with it for hours, and suddenly screen got white, i'm sure I didn't do any thing in that moment, | 10:38 |
| jussi01 | Seaboy: I would try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:40 |
| jussi01 | Seaboy: although that might land you at busybox when booting afterwards | 10:40 |
| Seaboy | Seaboy: I've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg phigh, but nothing changed | 10:41 |

| Seaboy | jussi01: I've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg phigh, but nothing changed | 10:43 |
| jussi01 | Seaboy: I have one other suggestion, but its a little drastic and means you will lose all of your kde settings, but you can try: mv .kde .kdeold | 10:43 |
| * JP-sNL3 is clueless at this point... wow... although i notice that the suggestion jussi01 makes does NOT include phigh | 10:43 | |
| Seaboy | jussi01: thanks, I'm gonna try it | 10:46 |

| jussi01 | yeah, it is because its using the nv driver now. I would say try installing the binary driver again, then running nvidias config util - i think its called nvidia-xconfig | 11:20 |

| zeno | is it possible to switch back to ktorrent kde3? when I upgraded to 8.10 it upgraded it to kde4 ver and that crashes a TON | 11:32 |
| jussi01 | Seaboy: then after installing, run nvidia-xconfig | 11:32 |

| ubottu | shaka: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:34 |
| shaka | My startup sound starts then ends abruptly, and also the on-screen sound indicator bar does not work. Anyone with the same issues? Kubuntu ibex on acer aspire 5720ZG | 11:36 |
| ardchoille | jussi01: what exactly does nvidia-xconfig do? Does it just edit xorg.conf to add the driver? | 11:37 |
| dwidmann | ardchoille: more or less | 11:37 |
| ardchoille | thought so | 11:37 |
| dwidmann | ardchoille: has a number of useful switches for what will be added to it as well | 11:38 |
| ardchoille | oh, nice | 11:38 |
| jussi01 | shaka: right click the sound icon in your tray, then select master channel to select the correct channel that controls your card. | 11:38 |
| shaka | jussi01: I did and right now"front" is selected. Should it be anything other than that? | 11:40 |
| dwidmann | shaka: I would think it might be "master" or "pcm" ... if there are options for such | 11:41 |
| jussi01 | shaka: its dependant on your machine, many use front, some use pcm others master - have a play | 11:41 |
| shaka | jussi01: Wow thanks. I tried Most and PCM is the right one | 11:41 |

| aapzak | that functionality is part of the eyecandy I think | 12:44 |
| lokai | aapzak: could you elaborate? | 12:45 |

| lokai | ok...does anyone know how to get the scale effect workign on kwin outof the box kde 4? | 12:45 |
| aapzak | you should check your system settings: desktop -> desktop effects, tab all effects | 12:46 |
| lokai | where is scale? | 12:47 |
| lokai | it is not on the list. | 12:47 |

| aapzak | click on the wrench, see if you have any keys or locations set | 12:48 |
| aapzak | amdpox: is always has been | 12:48 |
| amdpox | ok then | 12:48 |
| aapzak | amdpox: actually it has gotten much much better recently , but not as fast as compiz yet | 12:48 |
| lokai | ok, it doesn't work though -- they hotkeys/hotcorners do nothing | 12:48 |
| amdpox | no shiny-but-integrated-with-kde4 effects for me then :( | 12:48 |

| lokai | KDE 4 is such a POS. Holy shit. Its unusuable after I upgraded from KDE3. | 13:31 |
| jussi01 | !ohmy | lokai | 13:31 |

| lokai | !adduser | 13:32 |
| ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 13:32 |
| scribbles | this will allow them to login remotely via PuTTy? | 13:33 |
| lokai | yes | 13:33 |
| lokai | I HATE KDE4 | 13:33 |
| kalorin | what specifically do you hate about it? | 13:33 |
| lokai | none of the effects work (they ARE enabled), not of my previous hotkeys work | 13:33 |
| lokai | and there is no minimize/maximize button | 13:33 |
| lokai | HAR HAR | 13:33 |
| kalorin | the only real complaint that I've got is that some of the stuff that you put in the panels doesn't size well when the panel is put on the side of the screen rather than on top and bottom | 13:33 |
| lokai | its a broken system for me. | 13:34 |
| lokai | no idea why | 13:34 |
| kalorin | but that's almost more a complaint about this stupid 16:9 aspect that everything is going to | 13:34 |
| lokai | NO IDEA | 13:34 |
| scribbles | whats the default port for putty/ssh? | 13:34 |
| jussi01 | lokai: whichh version are you using? | 13:34 |
| jussi01 | scribbles: 22 | 13:34 |
| lokai | jussi01: the latest | 13:34 |
| stdin | schmidtm: ssh uses port 22, make sure your server has the "ssh" package installed | 13:34 |
| kalorin | so 8.10? | 13:34 |
| kalorin | did you do a clean install or an upgrade? | 13:34 |
| lokai | upgrade | 13:34 |
| lokai | and yes, 8.10 | 13:34 |
| kalorin | cause kde4 isn't going to be compatible with the old kde3 settings in a lot of cases I'm thinking | 13:35 |
| kalorin | so you're going to need to go set things up | 13:35 |
| lokai | apparently not. but it shouldn't let you 'upgrade' if it needs a 'clean install' | 13:35 |
| kalorin | the widgets on the desktop and stuff are all new and really different form the kde3 versions | 13:35 |
| lokai | 'upgrade' ~= 'clean install' | 13:35 |
| lokai | idiots. | 13:35 |
| kalorin | well | 13:35 |
| lokai | (not you all) | 13:35 |
| kalorin | you've upgraded teh OS in all fairness | 13:35 |
| kalorin | and kde4 is installed, it likely used what settings were similar and it could figure out | 13:35 |
| kalorin | but it's not going to magically transform your previous settings from kde3 apps into kde4 apps settings and make it 100% the same | 13:36 |
| kalorin | that be an awful lot to ask | 13:36 |
| lokai | don't expect it to. I expect it to be usuable, though. | 13:36 |
| kalorin | ati video card? | 13:36 |
| bazhang | lokai, it is usable. | 13:36 |
| lokai | no, integreated intel | 13:36 |
| kalorin | do you ahve the HUGE font thing going on? | 13:36 |
| bazhang | lokai, this is a support channel; do you have an actual support question | 13:36 |
| lokai | no, I had tiny font at the beginning. THAT was one thing I could change | 13:37 |
| kalorin | where you can't get the windows text to a font size that's under like 1/4 of the screen? | 13:37 |
| lokai | bazhang: I've asked already, no one can help. Can you? haha. | 13:37 |
| kalorin | oh I had the HUGe font thing going when I did my laptop to 8.04 | 13:37 |
| bazhang | lokai, I see no questions. | 13:38 |
| lokai | fine. here goes | 13:38 |
| kalorin | I keep thinking about doing this machine with kde4 version but it's a work machine and I really want to wait another week or two to let some more patches come out | 13:38 |
| kalorin | though my 8.04 remix install on the laptop at home is super solid | 13:38 |

| Koordin | hi, i have here a very confusing problem : i've upgraded to 8.10 and now the display on my desktop is totally buggy : there are some black lines that appears every second everywhere on the screen ; my drivers are up-to-date (nvidia-glx-177) and i've already try to reinstall kubuntu-desktop or xserver-xorg ; could someone help me please ? | 13:41 |
| kalorin | btw, has anyone had any issues with 64bit 8.10? | 13:41 |
| bazhang | lokai, you have compiz running? | 13:41 |
| ralpho | panel can you change width not length and hide it or not | 13:41 |
| lokai | bazhang: No. I tried to do that, it didn't seem to work either. Right now, compiz is not on my machine. | 13:41 |
| scribbles | when adding a user in KUser what is the Account Disabled default checked for? | 13:42 |
| bazhang | lokai, you are referring to native kde4 desktop effects then? | 13:42 |
| ralpho | good thing there is still gnome in the mean time | 13:42 |
| lokai | bazhang: yes, the native kwin effects. | 13:44 |
| lokai | but its totally broken anyways, even without the effects | 13:44 |
| bazhang | lokai, perhaps your machine is older and not up to the requirements. | 13:44 |
| lokai | bullsh | 13:45 |
| scribbles | how do I ensure that the new user I'm creating in KUser does not have access to sudo, by default it seems as if they're on the same level as I am | 13:45 |
| lokai | I was runnign kde3/8.04 fine | 13:45 |
| lokai | with all the glx effects. | 13:45 |
| bazhang | lokai, try lxde | 13:45 |
| lokai | bazhang: do you know what you're talking about? | 13:45 |
| zbenjamin | hi guys | 13:45 |
| bazhang | lokai, lxde is much easier on ram, and cpu cycles | 13:45 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install lxde | 13:46 |
| zbenjamin | i just updated to the newest kubuntu release, but after the last update i cannot login anymore i always taken back to the login screen | 13:46 |
| lokai | bazhang: Nice 'support', thanks bud. | 13:46 |
| lokai | You should recommend I install windows, its easier. | 13:46 |
| jussi01 | zbenjamin: from the kubuntu release notes: Can not login after upgrade from Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix. After an upgrade from Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4 Remix, logging in will return directory to the login screen again. The x-session-manager alternative link is not correctly updated. Select "KDE" from the Session Menu before logging in and fix it with update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/startkde. (Bug 287488). | 13:47 |
| bazhang | lokai, what system specs | 13:47 |
| jussi01 | lokai: you can try resetting your settings by renaming the ~/.kde folder. | 13:48 |
| lokai | jussi01: I'll try that. | 13:48 |
| === universidad is now known as Fachf | ||
| scribbles | how do I ensure that the new user I created cannot access sudo? | 13:49 |
| jussi01 | lokai: best do that while you are logged out - from a tty. after that login again | 13:49 |
| lokai | all right I can ssh in from another machine. What are the problems if I mv while in this session? | 13:49 |
| lokai | scribbles: don't tell them the password. | 13:50 |
| Pici | scribbles: Do not put them in the admin group. | 13:50 |
| jussi01 | lokai: as its the "curret working dir" for settings, it can sometimes not mv cleanly/ have things written to it from the old settings | 13:50 |
| lokai | kk, be back | 13:50 |
| zbenjamin | btw where does kdm store the last used windowmanager? | 13:51 |
| zbenjamin | i realized if i change the wm when logged in it will load the last used one | 13:52 |
| === pox_ is now known as amdpox | ||
| === vsudilov is now known as lokai | ||
| zbenjamin | so i used kwin in my last xfce session and now it always crashes when i try to login :( | 13:54 |
| lokai | jussi01: Thanks for the suggestion, it seems to have fixed all the problems. I wish they would warn users that they can't migrate their kde3 settings to kde4. | 13:54 |
| jussi01 | lokai: there is some stuff in the release notes, sometimes it does funky things. it happens with a new major release. | 13:55 |
| bibstha | sunwukong: hello | 14:02 |
| lokai | hm I closed the 'panel' that is at the bottom of the screen by default. I've added one, but it added to the top of the screen. How do I move it down to the bottom? | 14:09 |
| kalorin | click the little crescent thing | 14:10 |
| kalorin | when that opens the "settings" menu thingy you can then drag it to the side of the screen you want it on | 14:10 |
| kalorin | its' not very intuitive and I didn't realize how to do that for a while | 14:10 |
| lokai | got it, thanks | 14:11 |
| lokai | my keybindings still don't work | 14:11 |
| mrhjkim | Hi. | 14:11 |
| kalorin | can't help there, sorry, I don't use keybindings | 14:11 |
| mrhjkim | I got some problem in sound driver and internal mic is not working and I searched internet and succeded in making it work. | 14:12 |
| * bluecopper greets everyone with humility | 14:12 | |
| mrhjkim | but after rebooting, it also have the same problem. | 14:13 |
| xomp | can someone tell me how to remove KDE from a system? My mom is rather fond of Gnome and I put KDE on a while back and she wants it off to gain the disk space back. | 14:13 |
| lokai | hm, whats the kwin effect for (make this window transparent with I drag it) | 14:13 |
| lokai | xomp: couldn't you just use your package manager to get rid of it? | 14:15 |
| xomp | lokai, not sure, I used "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" but it pushed down like 700+Mb of other files with it. If I "apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" it only removes like 50MB of the total 700+MB it downloaded :( | 14:15 |
| lokai | apt get remove kde | 14:16 |
| mrhjkim | I can make sound card work by this command "modprobe snd-hda-intel model=lg" | 14:16 |
| lokai | kubuntu-desktop package is ubuntu+KDE, I suspect. | 14:16 |
| bluecopper | i have a problem with kopete | 14:16 |
| mrhjkim | but how I configure to make it work after reboot | 14:16 |
| bazhang | !puregnome | 14:17 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome » | 14:17 |
| bluecopper | everytime i try to use kopete the system slows up and the completely freezes | 14:17 |

| kalorin | looks like it might make you repeat your typing too.... | 14:18 |
| kalorin | ;) | 14:18 |
| kalorin | bluecopper, remove it's configuration if you can | 14:18 |
| kalorin | it'll be in the .kde directory in your homedirectory | 14:19 |
| kalorin | just do cd .kde | 14:19 |
| kalorin | find . -name "*kopete*" | 14:19 |
| bluecopper | well wud a config file be create if the no accounts have been created yet | 14:19 |
| kalorin | and move it to whatever it's name .bak | 14:19 |
| kalorin | and restart it | 14:19 |
| kalorin | yeah | 14:19 |
| kalorin | it's still going to store location on the desktop to open and size of the window and styles and all that jaz | 14:20 |
| kalorin | jazz | 14:20 |
| bluecopper | o i c | 14:20 |
| bluecopper | will try that and let u know | 14:20 |
| kalorin | sure | 14:20 |

| sysstemlord | hey guys, does anybody have a problem with firefox not seeing flash player 10? | 14:25 |
| sysstemlord | and the problem is not from the location of the plugin | 14:25 |

| Slylias | How can I disable my wireless card? I want to disable the internal wireless card on this laptop and use the USB one instead. | 14:26 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: you mean flash 10 is not installed in firefox? it doesn't appear in about:plugins ?? | 14:26 |
| Seaboy | jussi01: hi, remember me? | 14:26 |
| sysstemlord | it doesn't | 14:26 |
| sysstemlord | i installed it from adept, and from the debian package | 14:27 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: and there is no other flash plugin listed? | 14:27 |
| sysstemlord | i even tried one thing, installed flash 9, and just replaced the file with that of flash ten, it disappeared from about:plugins | 14:28 |
| sysstemlord | no other | 14:28 |
| lokai | anyone have an idea why my keybinding for konsole isn't working? | 14:28 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: does /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so exist? | 14:29 |
| Slylias | How can I disable my wireless card? I want to disable the internal wireless card on this laptop and use the USB one instead. | 14:29 |
| sysstemlord | now it does because i have flash 9 | 14:29 |
| sysstemlord | should i remove 9 and try? | 14:30 |
| kalorin | so does anyone have any experience with the 64bit Kubuntu 8.10 yet? | 14:30 |
| kalorin | any real gotcha's that make it less usable than the 32bit one? | 14:30 |
| kalorin | also, running core 2 duo chips, you're 64bit compatible right? | 14:30 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: but is flash 9 working in firefox? | 14:31 |
| sysstemlord | yes | 14:31 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: I installed flash 10 by just replacing libflashplayer.so v9 with the 10 version | 14:31 |
| sysstemlord | i tried that | 14:32 |
| sysstemlord | before replacing the file, it works in firefox | 14:33 |
| sysstemlord | but after replacing the file | 14:33 |
| sysstemlord | it disappears | 14:33 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: after replacing libflashplayer.so, did you restart firefox? | 14:34 |
| sysstemlord | yes of course, but only didn't restart the whole computer | 14:34 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: do you have /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ?? On mine, that is a link to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | 14:35 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: also, /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin is linked to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | 14:37 |
| sysstemlord | i have it linking to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin | 14:37 |
| sysstemlord | which links to your file | 14:38 |
| mefisto__ | mozilla-flashplugin also links to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so here | 14:38 |
| sysstemlord | yeah, that's the case, and now when i tried opening konqueror, it has flash 9 loaded | 14:39 |
| sysstemlord | but the file has been replaced | 14:39 |
| sysstemlord | but anyway, it doesn't seem to work in konqueror either | 14:39 |
| sysstemlord | but in konquror i don't get a message from youtube that flash is not installed, it just doesn't load the video | 14:40 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: you can specify where konqueror looks for plugins and in what order. in settings, configure konqueror, plugins | 14:40 |
| sysstemlord | does flash 10 require any other updates to the system? | 14:42 |
| sysstemlord | because the problem seems to be not only in firefox | 14:42 |
| xomp | thanks bazhang | 14:42 |
| aaroncampbell | Every time I need to reboot my newly upgraded 8.10 system, I have to run "compiz --replace &" ...in 8.04 I had a symbolic link in ~/.kde/Autostart/ to /usr/bin/compiz | 14:43 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: you can untangle this web of symlinks and get it working, but if you have libflashplayer.so (or a symlink) in ~/.mozilla/plugins I think what's in there takes precedence over everything else. but that's only a per-user solution | 14:44 |
| aaroncampbell | That doesn't seem to work anymore...specifically, it seems to start and then die? (Wobbly Windows and my Rotating Cube seem to work at first, then stop as things are still loading) | 14:44 |

| sysstemlord | i removed all link flash related and installed from the deb package, but this of course didn't change anything | 14:54 |
| sysstemlord | the problem seems to be from the plugin itself | 14:54 |
| lokai | keybindings are a mess in kde4. | 14:55 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: I have 2 computers running ubuntu with flash 10 running if firefox, seamonkey and konqueror without problems | 14:57 |
| sysstemlord | would it be a difference if it's kubuntu? | 14:58 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: no. I have kubuntu and xfce and flash 10 runs on either | 14:58 |
| sysstemlord | but if it can work, then it should really work if i replace the flash player 9 file with that of flash 10 | 14:59 |
| sysstemlord | because it must be found | 14:59 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: was firefox installed from repos? | 15:00 |
| sysstemlord | i believe so, but it's in a strange folder called firefox-3.0.1, and when i install flash, it created a new folder called only firefox, but the same happens with flash 9 and it still works | 15:01 |
| mefisto__ | sysstemlord: is this folder in your home dir? | 15:02 |
| sysstemlord | in /usr/lib | 15:02 |
| jussi01 | Seaboy: yes, i remember you :) | 15:04 |

| noobstyle | so no need to install anything :D? | 15:07 |
| genii | noobstyle: No antivirus is really needed unless you are scanning files you will later be using in Windows or so. Firewall is a good idea if you do the ISP login on your computer and not from a router. | 15:07 |

| LjL | noobstyle: you can use any method to install software on your computer, as long as it relies on APT, Ubuntu's software management backend | 15:10 |
| LjL | noobstyle: that includes Adept, apt-get and aptitude, among others | 15:10 |
| genii | noobstyle: The usual ones are Firestarter and Guarddog | 15:10 |

| LjL | !firewall | noobstyle, this talks about both gnome and kde, pick your choice | 15:11 |

| LjL | noobstyle: although personally, i'd say don't bother. | 15:11 |
| noobstyle | Yes. But i'm not sure what Gnome and Guarddog is | 15:11 |
| noobstyle | I use homebanking etc.. i want to be safe | 15:11 |
| lokai | Gnome is a desktop environment | 15:11 |
| noobstyle | yeS? | 15:11 |
| sysstemlord | yes that's what i have | 15:11 |
| lokai | KDE is another desktop environment | 15:11 |
| LjL | noobstyle: GNOME is the desktop environment used on Ubuntu, KDE is the one used on Kubuntu. | 15:12 |
| noobstyle | so i should take KDE? | 15:12 |
| LjL | noobstyle: i'd do that. | 15:12 |
| noobstyle | guarddog it is then | 15:12 |
| LjL | noobstyle: keep in mind that just blindly putting random security-related stuff on your computer doesn't automagically make you safe from attacks | 15:12 |

Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 15:13 |

| lokai | anyone figured out how to add custom functionality to the middle mouse button? | 15:29 |
| lokai | of course not. | 15:30 |
| genii | lokai: 60 seconds is not quite enough time for someone to look that up ;) | 15:31 |
| jussi01 | lokai: yes, on a logitech mouse I can. | 15:31 |
| lokai | How did you do it? Going through systemsettings->advanced->input actions does not work for me | 15:32 |
| lokai | oh another quick question: Does the default "HELLO" (CRTL+ALT+H) work for anyone on a fresh install? | 15:33 |
| jussi01 | lokai: on a logitech mouse youcan use a program called btnx - not in the repos, but there was a package floating round somewhere | 15:33 |
| lokai | jussi01: k thanks for the tip. I'm thinking of going back to compiz anyways, which does allow that functionality that I want | 15:33 |
| === Czessi_ is now known as Czessi | ||
| lokai | I fear that going back to compiz will mean going back to kde3, also. | 15:34 |
| lokai | jussi01: You using 8.10 with btnx? The developer says that 8.10 breaks it...http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ | 15:37 |

| aaroncampbell | My printer (Brother MFC 9440cn) has stopped working since my upgrade to 8.10. I don't even see where to set it up. Where are the printers managed? | 15:40 |

| Seaboy | it is going to be 2days that I don't have my desktop, and nobody can help | 15:42 |
| lokai | genii: not according to the keyboard shortcuts entry. In any case nothing happens when I press it. | 15:43 |
| KDesk | How can I know from which package depends one package | 15:43 |
| lokai | genii: I am just wondering if anything happens for anyone. | 15:43 |
| KDesk | Seaboy: whats you problem? | 15:43 |
| ocs | hi. suppose that I have myscript.sh. How can i retrieve, inside the script itself, the directory where the script is located ? | 15:43 |
| KDesk | ocs: I think inside the script: . otherscipr.sh | 15:43 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: when I login. I just have the mouse pointer and a white screen, and nothing else | 15:44 |

| KDesk | Seaboy: You have intrepid? is it a new install or an upgrade? | 15:45 |
| aaroncampbell | KDesk: but I have it running...now I need to find what happened :| | 15:45 |
| genii | lokai: Doesn't seem to do anything on my box here | 15:45 |
| lokai | kde3 or 4? | 15:45 |
| genii | lokai: Right now I'm on 3 | 15:46 |
| lokai | ah hahahah! | 15:46 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: yes, new install, and I used it for some days, then it suddenly happened while I was copying a disc | 15:46 |
| lokai | dont upgrade to 4 | 15:46 |
| lokai | it fails, utterly. | 15:46 |
| aaroncampbell | It says: Stopped - Filter "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brldwrapper_mfc9440cn" for printer "MFC9440CN" not available: Permission Denied | 15:46 |
| lokai | genii: all the problems that I have been complaining about are kde4 problems. | 15:47 |
| genii | lokai: I'm usually reluctant to make major changes until the big bugs are worked out of the system :) | 15:47 |
| lokai | genii: and as you might suspect, I'm quite upset that I upgraded. | 15:47 |
| lokai | genii: same. I didn't wait long enough. | 15:47 |
| KDesk | Seaboy: maybe it was an package update, maybe kernel, kdm... Which graphics card do you have? What do you have in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 15:47 |
| genii | lokai: I believe you can still run kde3 if you want | 15:48 |
| lokai | genii: how would you go about going that? | 15:48 |
| lokai | *doing | 15:48 |
| KDesk | genii: but only in hardy. | 15:49 |
| lokai | Seaboy: Have you tried to reconfigure xorg? | 15:49 |
| lokai | that means I'm out of luck. I've upgraded to 8.10 | 15:49 |
| lokai | and KDE4 comes by default | 15:49 |
| genii | lokai: Prevoiusly the kde3 was package kubuntu-desktop and the kde4 was kubuntu-kde4-desktop but I think now kde4 is the "kubuntu-desktop" package | 15:49 |
| lokai | I'm very, very, very disappointed that they released this to the general public before it was ready | 15:50 |
| faileas | there's a workaround to run kde3 on intrepid | 15:50 |
| Pici | !intrepidkde3 | 15:50 |
| ubottu | No, intrepid does not include KDE 3, only KDE 4. Please continue to use Hardy if KDE 3 is deisred. | 15:50 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: no, I was't upgrading, but that day I installed nvidia-glx-173 and it was working without a problem for hours. my graphic card is geforce FX5500, I'll pastebin xorg.conf content in a minute | 15:50 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: yes, i tried | 15:50 |

| nadhemos | thankyou! | 16:02 |
| KDesk | Seaboy: I think it is bad, maybe there was a corruption an something in you partition is broken. Maybe the fasters way it to backup important data and to do a fresh install again (~30min) | 16:02 |
| sparr | It would be awesome if there was a list of lost functionality to refer to before upgrading. I never would have installed intrepid if I had known how much stuff was missing. | 16:03 |
| KDesk | scdeville: so you dont have alsamixer? install alsa-utils | 16:03 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: I think I should reinstall kubuntu, but is there anyway to use tha packages I've downloaded? | 16:04 |
| scdeville | ok i'll try it thank you | 16:04 |
| KDesk | sparr: kde4 has not so many apps as kde3, but you can also install kde3 apps | 16:04 |
| KDesk | Seaboy: yes, they are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 16:04 |
| sparr | KDesk: im referring to kde4 replacements for kde3 apps. i cant (?) install kde3's network manager, or use kde3's panel, etc | 16:05 |
| KDesk | Seaboy: I think you should tray first (in the reinstalled system) to install the nvidia drivers with http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html envyNG | 16:06 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: and something else, do you know the default path of temp in nero? I just have an image of kubuntu and don't know where it is, sorry for asking so many questions | 16:06 |
| KDesk | sparr: the networkmanager you can, I use it. But the panel not. But there are many insteresting plasmoids in kde-look.org you can use. | 16:07 |
| Sokal-EC | if in the terminal how do i cd to a file? | 16:07 |
| KDesk | Seaboy: no problem. I dont know, but I think maybe in .nero/ | 16:08 |
| sparr | KDesk: is the kde downloader thing broken? i only see two or three widgets available when i try to download new ones | 16:08 |
| Seaboy | KDesk: I said nero? I mean k3b | 16:08 |
| KDesk | sparr: yes i think, somethimes I also see two or tree. Better search in kde-look.org, there is also a repo from a PPA with some plasmoids debs for intrepid. https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive | 16:09 |

| KDesk | Seaboy: ah, the k3b config is in .kde/share/ but I dont think that k3b saves the image, maybe take a look at /tmp/ | 16:10 |

| sparr | KDesk: how do i get/use the old network manager? i really need to connect to my work VPN, and i hate having to use gnome to do it | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | yu could just run the gnome network-manager tool | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | no need to use all of gnome perhaps | 16:14 |
| KDesk | sparr: in hardy it was also networkmanager 0.6, but in intrepid there is networkmanager 0.7, it is much better. I h ave the package network-manager-kde installed | 16:14 |
| sparr | dr_willis: changes in intrepid prevent nm-applet from running in kde (conflicting providers of the service or something like that, dbus is very confusing) | 16:15 |
| rrittenhouse | I just installed Kubuntu 32bit with the alt cd. When it came up it would half of the time drop into the shell and I would have to type startx and sometimes it would take me to X. I even had one time where everything froze. Any ideas? | 16:15 |

| dr_willis | rrittenhouse, what video card? | 16:16 |
| aaroncampbell | I re-downloaded the .deb from Brother and installed it, but I'm pretty sure something else is causing the problem, because that didn't fix it | 16:16 |
| rrittenhouse | dr_willis: Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT | 16:17 |
| KDesk | sparr: but if you have the networkmanager from gnome it should work in kde. HAve you the network-manager-kde pakcage installed? | 16:17 |
| rrittenhouse | dr_willis: I'm an ubuntu user and I've never had an issue (even Ibex). I'm just wondering what could be wrong. | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | rrittenhouse, kubuntua nd ubuntu use the same drivers/underlaying OS. so ive no idea on taht.. If you had Ubuntu isntalled you could just install kubuntu-desktop | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | rrittenhouse, You may want to check and be sure you are using the nvidia drivers, could try som eother window maangers also. see if they also crash | 16:18 |
| rrittenhouse | dr_willis: True. I should have just done that.. gah! :) | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | rrittenhouse, one of the first things i do on a new box. :) install all the desktops and stuff | 16:19 |
| rrittenhouse | It seems to work now after I enabled the nvidia driver once getting into KDE. Even dual monitors is working. I'm just having weird crashes now :P | 16:19 |
| rrittenhouse | dr_willis: cool. I was always a KDE user and at some point Ubuntu came along and I switched. I'm just trying to check back into KDE. | 16:19 |
| rrittenhouse | dr_willis: Another weird problem I had was when I added the twitter widget and tried to connect it would crash the entire plasma interface. It did that on the livecd too | 16:20 |
| rrittenhouse | dr_willis: Good thinking. I'm gonna install Ubuntu again and just put KDE on it too in case I decide I need gnome again lol | 16:23 |

| Shadowwulf | i cant find the window manager \ | 17:32 |
| Shadowwulf | the 2 or 4 windows app thingy | 17:33 |
| dr_willis | Thats the Desktop/Panel I imagine.. | 17:33 |
| dr_willis | I dont use kde4 so cant verify | 17:33 |
| Shadowwulf | ahh | 17:33 |
| Shadowwulf | reinstall maybe ? quick fix ? | 17:33 |
| dr_willis | reinstall to get kde back to se4ttings.??? this isent windows | 17:34 |
| dr_willis | Delete the users .kde* settings dirs. logout/back in - is a Extreme way to do it... | 17:34 |
| dr_willis | Or explore the applets stuff - it has to be in there somewhere | 17:34 |
| Shadowwulf | i have looked many times | 17:34 |
| Shadowwulf | where is .kde* dirs or how do i search for it | 17:35 |
| dr_willis | Its got to be one of the plasmoids.. everyithing in kde4 is a plasmoid | 17:36 |
| dr_willis | all the users settings dirs are in their home directory | 17:36 |
| dr_willis | I dont kow the exact name of the dir. thus i said .kde* :) | 17:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | shadowwulf type rm ~/.kde -r to recursively delete your kde folder | 17:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | ~ is a shortcut for /home/yourusername/ | 17:37 |
| dr_willis | of coruse this will erase/reset ALL kde settings... | 17:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | if you want to back it up instead, mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-old | 17:38 |

| papegaaij | all other services are ok, nis is working (same server and client) and the server is also the gateway (nat) | 18:56 |
| papegaaij | when i try to mount, i do see the mount request, and it is authenticated, but then nothing happens | 18:56 |
| papegaaij | also, another kubuntu system is having no trouble, and the nfs was working fine with gentoo on the system where i'm now having trouble | 18:57 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: that's strange... I haven't experienced that at all... I know that NFS does give issues if there are problems on the network... but that sounds pretty weird | 18:58 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: someone on the #nfs channel said it could be firewall related, so i ran ufw disable, that should be enough to disable the firewall, shouldn't it? | 18:58 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: the strangest thing is that is working fine for several hours, and then just stops | 18:59 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: not sure if its firewall... and I don't use ufw... you could try iptables -F, which will flush all iptables rules | 19:00 |
| makdaknife | ufw seems to use iptables underneath itself | 19:00 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: how do i list all rules? | 19:00 |
| papegaaij | iptables -l? | 19:00 |
| papegaaij | iptables -L shows nothing | 19:01 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: iptables -L | 19:01 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: I don't think you have any firewall issues... | 19:01 |
| papegaaij | at least, no rules :) | 19:01 |
| papegaaij | i did not enable the firewall, so unless it's enabled by default, it should be disabled | 19:01 |
| reese | hi! i'm using kubuntu 8.10 and can't find anymore the filesystem service in system setting, where I could automatically mount ntfs partitions from.. | 19:01 |
| seele | makdaknife: stdin: it looks like it worked.. thanks a lot! | 19:02 |
| seele | makdaknife: stdin: if you guys are at UDS in december i'll owe you a beer ;P | 19:02 |
| papegaaij | all i see in the log on the system is 'nfs: server fileserver not responding, still trying' | 19:02 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: it sounds like the network might drop after a period... not sure why... I suppose you could write a small bash script to sleep and then ping every 10 mins or so... but that's not really getting to the root of the problem | 19:02 |
| makdaknife | seele: great to hear it | 19:02 |
| papegaaij | well, i was having trouble with the network | 19:03 |
| papegaaij | i could not get NetworkManager to use a static configuration | 19:03 |
| papegaaij | it kept on falling back to dhcp | 19:03 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: bah... knetworkmanager can be a real pain in the ass sometimes | 19:03 |
| papegaaij | via which it could not get an ip, so it disabled eth0 again | 19:03 |
| hoonteke | thanks Pici, stdin. Bug reported. | 19:04 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: so how have you gotten around that? | 19:04 |
| mefisto__ | what's happening to the kde4 ppa for 8.04? will it continue to be updated? | 19:04 |
| papegaaij | well, i've stopped NetworkManager, after which the network seems to be fine | 19:04 |
| papegaaij | i entered the settings in /etc/network/interfaces | 19:04 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: good | 19:04 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: its difficult to troubleshoot something like this... are you aware of it being a specific length of time before your NFS connection drops? | 19:05 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: no, yesterday it was at 1:44, to day somewhere around 10 in the morning | 19:06 |
| blip- | Hi, can i change the mouse cursor in Kubuntu 8.04 KDE3 ? | 19:07 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: i did not yet reboot the system and currently i still cannot mount nfs | 19:07 |
| papegaaij | so i'm trying to fine a way to troubleshoot the client side | 19:07 |
| papegaaij | because the server side seems to be working fine | 19:07 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: can you mount the nfs with another machine? | 19:07 |
| papegaaij | yes, this machine (also kubuntu) has the same mount mounted | 19:08 |
| dex | Good evening all im new so i was hoping that u can help with my sound (i dont hear anything: there is not sound) | 19:08 |
| dex | im using Audigy 1 SE | 19:08 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: so it definitely sounds like something with the client | 19:08 |
| papegaaij | yes | 19:09 |

| KDesk | testi: maybe that key is used by somethink else. | 19:11 |
| dwidmann | reese: Looks like it might not exist anymore ... in which case you can still use mount in a console. Just type "mount" followed by either the mountpoint or the device name | 19:11 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: on the server? | 19:12 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: on the client | 19:12 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: check the number under retrans | 19:12 |
| reese | dwidmann: that service mounted automatically at startup chosen partitions.. i would like to have them mounted automatically | 19:13 |
| papegaaij | it's currently at 598 | 19:13 |
| dwidmann | reese: in that case, add them to your /etc/fstab | 19:13 |

| reese | dwidmann, thanks | 19:14 |
| papegaaij | and seems stable | 19:14 |
| dwidmann | !fstab | reese | 19:14 |
| Uncle|Sam | Can it be that there are some problems with kde 4.1? | 19:14 |
| ubottu | reese: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 19:14 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: that sounds high... this indicates that it has been retransmitting requests... which is meant to indicate network issues | 19:14 |
| papegaaij | when i try to mount, it changes to 599 | 19:14 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: what about pinging the server? | 19:15 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: but that is really weird, because the network is working fine | 19:15 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: do you get any loss? | 19:15 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: i can even log on with ssh on the server | 19:15 |
| papegaaij | and the server also is the internet gateway for that machine | 19:15 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: try ping and see if there are any packets lost over say 50 pings | 19:15 |
| bauchspeck | hi out there. could anybody please tell me, where in kde4 do I find now kdeprintfax? | 19:16 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: i don't see any packet loss | 19:16 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: you could try nfsstat -s and hunt through the output there for clues | 19:17 |
| testi | KDesk: no | 19:18 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: also what does your nfs mount look like in your fstab (obfuscate any sensitive data) | 19:19 |
| papegaaij | fileserver:/home /home nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0 | 19:19 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: out of interest why have you specified write and read sizes? | 19:23 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: performance | 19:23 |
| papegaaij | but i just tried with no options at all, still doesn't work | 19:23 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: :-( admittedly I'm at a bit of a loss... I'm no nfs guru... I just use it a bit at home | 19:24 |

| genii | Wrong channel. sorry | 19:29 |
| papegaaij | it's currently locking all filesystem request, waiting for the server to come back up | 19:29 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: you could do a lazy unmount... I think its umount -l /mountpoint | 19:29 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: then try remount it | 19:29 |
| bauchspeck | asking again: where in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10 can I find kdeprintfax? | 19:30 |
| papegaaij | lazy unmount worked, remount not | 19:30 |

| papegaaij | btw, i also tried restarting networking, portmap and nfs-common | 19:30 |

| makdaknife | papegaaij: damn that's some heavy voodoo going on there | 19:32 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: in your mount options try and specify proto=udp | 19:33 |
| makdaknife | papegaaij: you might find that it behaves better | 19:33 |
| urza | hello niggers. | 19:34 |
| papegaaij | makdaknife: doesn't it default to udp? | 19:35 |
| papegaaij | hmmm | 19:35 |
| makdaknife | i think it defaults to tcp... but if you have a mount up... you can check how its mounted using nfsstat -m | 19:35 |
| papegaaij | that is working | 19:35 |
| papegaaij | i just mounted it :/ | 19:36 |

| hoonteke | is help not included with Kubuntu 8.10? About everytime I go for a handbook, I get an error message and no help | 20:09 |
| hoonteke | For example, when I hit F1 in Kontact, I get a popup "The file or folder help:/kontact/index.html does not exist." | 20:10 |
| hoonteke | and an empty help-browser page. | 20:10 |
| dwidmann | LinOxMan: if you still have it installed, try booting with the 2.6.24 kernel and see if it goes back to working, if so, continue on with the 2.6.24 because at least it works | 20:10 |

| hoonteke | ok, thanks for that | 20:11 |
| hoonteke | @ JontheEchidna and dwidmann | 20:11 |
| LinOxMan | dwidmann: ok, thanks for your help | 20:13 |
| Iesos | I really need to get this fixed! My computer get useless when / is filled up and I cant go on removing these files all the time. | 20:13 |
| dwidmann | Iesos: you could set up cron jobs to remove them in the meantime | 20:17 |
| Iesos | dwidmann, thats kind of an ugly way to do it, but if you walk me through it... | 20:18 |
| wesley | hoe can i force to eject a cd | 20:19 |
| emilsedgh | wesley: eject | 20:20 |
| dwidmann | Iesos: Okay, open a terminal, and type in "sudo crontab -e" | 20:20 |
| Iesos | done | 20:21 |
| wesley | does not work, wine is using it, but it says it needs second cd but i dont get it eject | 20:21 |
| Iesos | so... the syntax is every 5 ***** and it runs every 5 minutes, right? | 20:22 |
| Iesos | then the command? | 20:22 |
| Iesos | and its only suppose to be 4 * | 20:22 |
| Iesos | right? | 20:22 |
| dwidmann | Iesos: right, only 4 stars | 20:22 |
| Iesos | so "5**** rm /var/log/kdm.log*" | 20:23 |
| dwidmann | Iesos: then the command, something like rm /var/log/.... | 20:23 |
| dwidmann | Iesos: there ya go, save and make sure cron is running and you're set | 20:23 |
| Iesos | ok, thx. | 20:24 |
| wesley | emilsedgh that does not work | 20:25 |
| favro | Iesos: does cat /var/log/kdm.log | tail -n 20 show the error that makes the file so large? | 20:25 |
| Iesos | favro, I have allready removed them :-/ | 20:26 |
| emilsedgh | wesley: unmount first: sudo umount -f /media/cdrom && eject | 20:27 |

| JontheEchidna | apt-cache policy kde-window-manager | 20:36 |
| wolfjb | gribs: look at /etc/hosts, and follow the pattern there, typically it's just <ip> <hostname> (for example 192.168.169.1 someserver) | 20:36 |
| wolfjb | gribs: then you should be able to contact someserver without having to use the ip address | 20:36 |

| JontheEchidna | isaacj87: what do you mean no other way? | 20:37 |
| JontheEchidna | just run the command and it will tell you what version kwin is at really | 20:37 |
| isaacj87 | JontheEchidna: I mean, is there no other way to check my version of KDE 4.1.x. Like kde4base --version or something | 20:38 |
| JontheEchidna | oh, you could look in the about dialog of any KDE app, but apt will be more reliable | 20:38 |
| wolfjb | gribs: you'll need to be root to edit /etc/hosts - so sudo vi /etc/hosts or sudoedit /etc/hosts either should work | 20:38 |

| rickest | noobstyle: did you read my 'first:' | 20:57 |
| noobstyle | ? | 20:57 |
| rickest | [13:55:23] rickest | noobstyle: first, you need to quote or ESC those file/dirnames with spaces in them | 20:57 |
| sourcemaker | does kde 4.1.3 solves the nvidia problem? | 20:57 |
| noobstyle | rickest: i dont understand? | 20:57 |
| rickest | this filename.ext must be expressed as "this filename.ext" or this\ filename.ext | 20:58 |
| noobstyle | hmm ok | 20:58 |
| rickest | noobstyle: paths, files, or directories with spaces in their names must be quoted "like this" or escaped like\ this | 20:58 |
| isaacj87 | sourcemaker: i read a comment from a user somewhere that he had better luck with nvidia and kde 4.1.3 | 20:59 |
| noobstyle | like thi | 20:59 |
| isaacj87 | sourcemaker: at least with kwin | 20:59 |
| noobstyle | sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/ storage/ marc/ Movies/ De Andres Liv/ DeAndresLiv.iso /media/ storage/ marc/ Movies/ De Andres Liv/ iso/ | 20:59 |
| noobstyle | still does not work | 20:59 |
| sourcemaker | isaacj87: great | 20:59 |
| rickest | noobstyle: why do you insist on ignoring what I'm saying about spaces? | 20:59 |
| noobstyle | can you make the line then pls? | 20:59 |
| sourcemaker | isaacj87: will the packages for kubuntu ready tommorow? | 21:00 |
| rickest | no, work it | 21:00 |
| noobstyle | well i made spaces all over | 21:00 |
| noobstyle | i don't know what you want me to do then | 21:00 |

| denis__ | Hi ! | 21:03 |
| isaacj87 | sourcemaker: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 | 21:03 |
| denis__ | What is the command to format my HDD ? | 21:03 |
| denis__ | please :D | 21:03 |
| denis__ | is there anybody out there ? | 21:05 |
| anish_ | anyone know if kde 4.1.3 is coming to hardy backports ? | 21:07 |
| ardchoille | anish_: it's a bugfix release so hardy main should get it soon. | 21:08 |
| anish_ | cool | 21:08 |
| genii | denis__: If it's sdb1 for instance, then: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 | 21:09 |
| anish_ | you mean backports right ? | 21:10 |
| JontheEchidna | ardchoille: except that the major version in hardy is 4.0 | 21:10 |
| anish_ | zigackly | 21:10 |
| chairman | ibex is so cool!! | 21:10 |
| JontheEchidna | so a jump to 4.1.3 would be a feature-release jump plus a bugfix release jump | 21:10 |
| JontheEchidna | and in other words, not going to happen | 21:10 |
| denis__ | thank you genii ^ | 21:11 |

| JontheEchidna | hmm, I didn't hear anything about hardy-backports | 21:12 |
| genii | denis__: np | 21:12 |
| JontheEchidna | intrepid-backports yes, but not hardy-backports | 21:12 |
| ardchoille | JontheEchidna: Ah, you're right. Hardy won't see it but Intrepid will. sorry, got confused with the names. | 21:13 |
| JontheEchidna | ;-) | 21:13 |
| ardchoille | anish_: Hardy will not see the update, but Intrepid will | 21:13 |
| ardchoille | Too early in the morning here | 21:14 |
| anish_ | not even here ? http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu/ | 21:15 |
| ardchoille | JontheEchidna: I was thinking, since Hardy was a remix, would Hardy see that update? | 21:18 |
| ardchoille | kde4 is in the Hardy repos | 21:18 |
| JontheEchidna | nope | 21:19 |
| ardchoille | oh well. | 21:19 |
| JontheEchidna | it still uses official ubuntu repos so we have to follow the rules for it | 21:19 |
| ardchoille | Maybe this update will allow me to install and use Intrepid now | 21:19 |
| JontheEchidna | eh, if you didn't like it before I doubt 4.1.3 will change anything | 21:20 |
| JontheEchidna | we had most of the interesting crash fixes in our 4.1.2 packages anyway | 21:20 |
| memeemeee | I'm having serious networking problems. I put the new PCI card in the computer but linux doesn't see it | 21:21 |
| ardchoille | JontheEchidna: That's good to know | 21:21 |

| ardchoille | JontheEchidna: Two crashes fixed in the Dolphin filemanager and several bugfixes in the Kopete. I may try intrepid again next week. | 21:24 |
| frinux_ | why isn't OOo 3 included in ubuntu 8.10 ? Will it be soon ? | 21:24 |
| ka9de | frinux_ it was released too late | 21:24 |
| ka9de | will be included wo 9.04 | 21:24 |
| ka9de | *to | 21:25 |
| isaacj87 | frinux_: Just add the OpenOffice Scribblers PPA and you can get it | 21:25 |

| wolfjb | the client won't connect to eth0 | 21:53 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: it should do it automatically, is eth0 not listed or is it just not connecting | 21:53 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: it says it isn't managed and it isn't connecting | 21:54 |
| d3vil__ | trappist is all ok in terminal | 21:54 |

| d3vil__ | how to open tell me | 21:57 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: is the wireless card external? | 21:57 |
| ardchoille | quentin: Server requires authentication (username + password)? | 21:57 |

| quentin | ardchoille yep | 22:00 |
| quentin | ardchoille imap works fine | 22:00 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: sorry, its mentioned that its not as compatable so it shouldn't come as a suprise | 22:00 |
| ardchoille | quentin: go into kmail config > Identities > Advanced tab and check Special Transport | 22:00 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb well no, its said not as flexible | 22:00 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: but its the same thing in this case | 22:01 |

| pascal | can somebody help me pls =) | 22:01 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: i know, i never tried the LAN but my WLAN was strange | 22:02 |
| dwidmann | pascal: just a regular update or a distribution upgrade? | 22:02 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: even with recompiled drivers | 22:02 |
| pascal | a regular update =) | 22:02 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: I picked this laptop because the drivers were well supported, at least they were under hardy | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | pascal: open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:02 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: I assumed they would continue to be well supported in intrepid too | 22:03 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: yes, the problem is that intrepid isn't quite perfect yet | 22:03 |

| ryanakca | How can I stop Kubuntu from turning off after <x> minutes of inactivity? The laptop is plugged in, Intrepid. | 22:03 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: i would go back to hardy, as it is better in performance and in compatability | 22:04 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: i can care less about the desktop effects it offers | 22:04 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb:even though they are nice, they arn't essential, while compatability is | 22:04 |
| quentin | ardchoille: ok now i'm getting something different | 22:04 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: yeah, and I have an nvidia card, so that was an issue during the beta | 22:04 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: I usually turn that stuff off anyway. | 22:05 |
| quentin | ardchoille tells me that the server doesn't support plain id method | 22:05 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: ya, i never tried it on my desktop mostly because i need to make sure EVERYTHING works before i mess with it, i run VM's and have a lot of other essential stuff that is running on it | 22:05 |
| dwidmann | ryanakca: you probably have guidance running, there should be an icon for it in the panel | 22:05 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: i would stay with hardy for now, wait till the next ubuntu release or kde4.2 | 22:05 |

| ardchoille | quentin: go into the smtp setup and click the button that says "Check what the server supports" in Accounts > Sending > modify > security tab | 22:06 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: that would be the MS trick | 22:07 |
| dwidmann | ryanakca: you just did now, or you did previously and the setting didn't take? | 22:07 |
| ryanakca | dwidmann: previously... | 22:07 |
| Alex135 | wolfjb: another option is to try and find a way to recompile the drivers under intrepid and see if that works first | 22:07 |
| dwidmann | ryanakca: hmm, I wonder if it's a known issue, I' | 22:07 |
| dwidmann | ** I'll look and see | 22:08 |
| wolfjb | Alex135: good idea, I'll try that too | 22:08 |
| ardchoille | quentin: I just did that and it tells me that the plain method is the only things the server supports | 22:08 |
