[01:40] is there a patched .deb for networkmanager ? [01:40] 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 [01:41] genii yeh i was looking at my routers page and it can but does this mean static ip's dont/wont work in intrepid ?

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 [01:43] oh ok thnx genii [01:43] can someone tell me how to properly reconfigure xorg.conf?

I just can't seem to figure out how to recreate what the initial install does [01:45] Ryunix: genii is right, you should make your router have the static public IP and forward it to your server/desktop [01:46] 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 genii: do i add dns's to the /etc/network/interfaces file ?

You set the /etc/network/interfaces back to dhcp and auto. Then the router to assign always a given IP to the server.

[02:36] you dont need sudo with apt-cache search i belive [02:36] maybe the sudo [02:36] sjdurfey: I just did that....it searched for me, (the syntax appears correct) [02:36] sudo apt-get install eclipse [02:36] perhaps [02:37] $ sudo apt-cache search eclipse [02:37] !info eclipse [02:37] 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] apt-cache search eclipse [02:37] i tried that, it informed me the package name was incorrect [02:37] sjdurfey: can you apt-get update, first? [02:37] tried it without the sudo, and nothing happened [02:37] ill try [02:37] dig: Obama is killing right now, but if you want to keep up with the election, check out http://www.myspace.com/decision08 [02:38] It aint over till the last recount 7 months from now..! :) [02:38] dr_willis: haha, very true [02:38] yeah, obama is distancing himself from mccain rather quickly, CNN has him at 194 electoral votes already [02:38] sjdurfey: yup, 194 to 90 :D [02:39] can we start yelling 'obama stole the election' allready? or are the Rep's allowed to do that? :) [02:39] cnn still has mccain at 69 [02:39] msnbc has obama at 200 and mccain at 85 :D [02:39] If anything - the last few elections ahve taught us no to trust CNN and the other news sites.. [02:39] haha, sounds like everyone has a different answer [02:40] We all know his popularity is due to the YouTube Obama-Babes videos! :) [02:40] 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] haha, i only saw a brief picture of her once [02:41] just one question: do you guys vote on weekend or it is possible to vote on weekday(skip work?) [02:42] dig: by law you are entitled to miss work to vote, and you're employer CANNOT repremand you in any way [02:42] cnn is now saying obama won ohio, thats pretty key [02:43] police officers can't take vacation today though ;-) [02:43] I imagine they still get to vote [02:43] great! [02:43] sjdurfey: how is the apt-cache? [02:43] JontheEchidna: haha, I'm sure they work it out as not to miss work, either through early voting, or absentee voting [02:44] 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] yeah, I just heard on the news that the officers aren't allowed to take vacation today :P [02:44] my connection is so slow right now, the update is crawling by [02:45] sjdurfey: my condolances for a slow cxion [02:45] JontheEchidna: good thing I changed majors from Criminal justice to CIS :D [02:45] When the result is likely out? [02:45] depends on how close the election is [02:45] i want to know who is sucking up allllll the bandwidth [02:45] 2 hours possible? [02:45] i can sometimes get about 1mb/sec down, right now its going around 14kb/sec :( [02:46] sjdurfey: maybe try a different mirror [02:46] 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] its not just the update, its everything i try to do [02:46] and in some timezones the polls won't be closed for a few hours yet [02:46] true [02:46] okay woah [02:47] california and Hawaii still have 2 hours left before they close [02:47] can anyone help me out with gnump3d [02:47] not 2 hours. [02:47] 1.25hr [02:47] in ca [02:47] unity`Buntu: ah :) thanks [02:47] great! [02:48] the website just said "under 2 hours" so I figured I'd go with that [02:48] god.. please dont let mccain win... [02:48] the ACM chapter at my school blows [02:48] anyway.. [02:48] i got gnump3d running. [02:48] unity`Buntu: that's why so many people are voting this year, all us lazy democrats finally got off our butts :D [02:48] BBC says M: 124, O, 200 [02:48] im wondering if theres a way to require a username/password to view the server.. [02:48] im trying to get some guys together to get an install fest organized at my school, but the chapter president doesnt seem to like to return emails [02:49] sjdurfey: where are you located? [02:49] Bowling Green, OH [02:49] hi i finally got my upgrade done but its seems to be sketchy [02:50] sjdurfey: ah! Congrats on your state going to Obama :D I wish more people who started local user's groups would take their position more seriously :( [02:50] twice it just froze on me [02:50] how do i rip music tracks to amarok? [02:50] anyone know about it? [02:50] and that soon after getting to the desktop [02:51] 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] hello on 8.10 I can't drag and drog icons on task bar ? I have a forbidden symbol and my taskbar is unlocked idea ? [02:51] kde 4.1 ... [02:51] What happened to the file copy manager that was in Hardy? [02:54] kde4 redid a lot of things GillesMM [02:54] dr_willis: :) [02:54] it also took kde3 out back and shot it [02:54] twice [02:54] Then laughed! [02:54] with great mirth! [02:54] how I control how fans works? [02:55] and Office-Space-style baseball-bat it. [02:55] ArkoldThos, use lm-sensors [02:55] GillesMM: it should be possible to drag it to the panel, just aim for the very top of the panel [02:55] dragging will become much easier in KDE 4.2 [02:55] ah sweet, its nice to see kubuntu has to window preview working for the programs in the task bar, i had openSuse installed for about a week, and it wasnt working, it looked really dumb to have this big black box without a preview inside it, haha [02:56] wonder if they forgot to re-enable the effect in KWin :P [02:57] * JontheEchidna finds a video [02:57] http://www.notmart.org/index.php/Software/Painless_Drop [02:57] i need to get acquainted with KDE, im looking to write an app using Qt [02:58] ArkoldThos, use it with fancontrol, and it'll do it [02:58] ArkoldThos, when I setup fan control on my pc way back, I used this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780 [02:58] my friend's using ibex. he's a bcm user, and he cant connect [02:58] we did the wcutter stuff, set up the driver, etc... nothing [03:01] Has anyone else's Device Notifier taken a dump? I plug in my USB card reader and external HDD... nothing. [03:02] How does one disable the PC speaker beeps? [03:02] K Menu > Computer > System Settings > Notifications [03:02] There should be a tab for system beeps [03:02] Disable those [03:02] ^^ Ash-Fox [03:02] Draik, nah, issues exist in Wine and skype [03:03] Not KDE application specific [03:03] Ash-Fox: Sorry. [03:04] So, I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug [03:04] Plug in ntfs drive [03:04] get detection and prompt to enter password [03:04] enter password, but it doesn't mount due to a unclean unmount from last time around [03:04] but, there's no prompt or message about this [03:05] the password prompt goes away, and the icon in Dolphin doesn't change. Clicking the icon does nothing [03:05] Would that be a reportable bug or a regression? [03:05] Ash-Fox: kdesudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:05] add the line [03:05] blacklist pcspkr [03:05] save, reboot [03:06] JontheEchidna, ha, I've been trying to figure out how to disable it for years [03:06] hehe [03:06] JontheEchidna, thank god [03:06] It's only been bugging me with this laptop, because alsamixer doesn't let me turn it off [03:06] I re-installed compiz and emerald, but I now have no themes in emerald, and compiz still doesn't start right :| [03:06] * Ash-Fox rmmods it [03:06] how can I add a launcher like in 8.04 where it has a block of 4 little launchers together? [03:07] so, anyone? reportable bug or not? [03:07] it probably should tell you if it fails [03:07] I'd file it against kde4libs [03:10] Bad Device Notifier. I had to reload it [03:10] How do I make it so that Dolphin is not the option within New Device Notifier? [03:10] <_2> what is the best way to tell if i disk has a fileystem on it ? fsck ? [03:10] draik: currently that is hardcoded [03:11] JontheEchidna: Any signs of a possible change? [03:11] yes, don't know how soon [03:12] JontheEchidna: Ok. [03:12] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158938 [03:12] <\Kira> Whats a command that can add a user to a group, without creating a new group or user or changing the users main group? [03:13] <_2> \Kira usermod -aG group user [03:13] <\Kira> _2: thanks [03:13] Has anyone else experienced text which looks like it is being garbled and almost looks somewhat pixilated or in a horrible block font? [03:13] I wish I had a screenshot right now [03:13] <_2> \Kira better referance the man page. that was from memory. [03:14] <\Kira> _2: yeah, i was just looking for somewere to get started anyway [03:17] <\Kira> _2: yeah, that command was right [03:27] I have come to realize that I don't care about the bugs as much. I really love the new 8.10 look and feel for how it is set up for users. Feels... uncluttered, if that makes sense. [03:28] draik: still free to still report them if you find them, [03:28] h00k: I know. I'm liking it just the same. [03:29] draik: :) good === m1gas is now known as sweetmary_19 [03:52] Hi, i managed to share my ubuntu 8.04 boxs internet connection with my xbox 360 with firestarter. the thing is i want to give all the connections that come from and go to my xbox 360 high priority (QoS) so that i dont lag.

[04:07] what could be an alternative for parallel desktop? [04:08] this election wasnt even close [04:08] Hooray! [04:08] I'm so happy! [04:08] I bet Obama voted for McCain just cause he could [04:08] :P [04:09] It's slow here right now, but please remember politics is !ot [04:09] I can hear the people upstairs screaming [04:09] doors are slamming in my apartment buildling [04:09] woot! [04:09] people yelling yesssss [04:09] Sounds like a fun apartment [04:09] :) [04:10] I wonder if they use Kubuntu ;) [04:10] just maybe [04:10] it is for human beings you know ;) [04:10] scribbles: This is true! [04:10] that will be cool. [04:11] do you think obama winning US election can somehow uplift the condition of people in africa and other 3rd world countries? [04:11] !ot > me [04:11] dig, please see my private message [04:13] Probably [04:13] tiklado: Perhaps if they subsidise a crapload of cheap laptops running Kubuntu [04:14] 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] hahaha [04:14] !ot [04:14] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [04:14] Try and remeber that ##politics exists :) [04:15] 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] 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] is there any way to add the 5-a-day applet to Kubuntu? [04:16] Does anyone have any outstanding Kubuntu support issues? [04:16] quite paradoxical..i think..but i think Obama winning is somehow a step towards global peace..what you think people? [04:16] woody86: Yes, it works same on Kubuntu as on regular Ubuntu [04:17] 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] tiklado: I think we need to remember to stay ontopic and not discuss politics in the support channel to such an extent [04:18] woody86: OK, give me a minute to look into it [04:18] genii: I'm running 8.10 just FYI, thanks :) [04:19] well i think poen source software is a political issue..anyway.. [04:19] 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] 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] tiklado: I was just thinking that! Windows is the republicans, Mac is the Dems, and Linux is the Green Party :D [04:20] But who's the liberterians? [04:20] and the peace and freedom? [04:20] nobody cares about them :P [04:20] lol [04:20] 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] nader was peace and freedom [04:20] well linux will never be green..i think it is more of red.. [04:20] genii: ok thanks, I was using the ubuntu one before, so hopefully this will work :D [04:21] well i think it is time to stop this shit.. [04:21] okay..thanks guys..:P [04:21] tiklado: ah ah ah, PG language [04:21] Oh the lag [04:22] sorry..do you guys know how am i going to run my other OS without rebooting from kubuntu? [04:23] tiklado: Inside a VM, possibly? [04:23] what's the KDE equivelent of "deb" in a terminal? [04:24] woody86: You mean to install a package? [04:24] VM? [04:24] genii: I guess so, it says to deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/5-a-day/ubuntu intrepid main [04:24] but terminal says "deb"s not known [04:24] woody86: deb is same for all *buntu ..... lag... Ah, they mean to add this to your repository list in /etc/apt/sources.list [04:25] genii: why won't typing in "deb" work though? [04:26] woody86: Because "deb" is not any name of some command [04:26] Lag wish I had new graphics card [04:26] genii: then why does it want me to put that in a terminal? [04:27] 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] genii: ah, wait, nevermind, I got it now :) [04:27] woody86: Ah, good :) [04:28] I am not able to record in Audacity [04:28] anyone can give me any ideas what to look for?

I don't have File Edit View, etc [04:41] woody86: I need to go /away however perhaps keep asking every so often on this subject in channel #kubuntu-bugs [04:42] the advice it has for mics isn't really helpful... [04:42] ok thanks genii :D [04:43] I don't have windows [04:44] thedark_: Skip to part where it reads "Update to the Latest Version of ALSA" then just follow instructions there [04:44] OK, gotta really leave now... gnite [04:45] night [05:00] Hey guys [05:00] Just curious, what's the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu? [05:00] Is it literally KDE vs Gnome or are there other package differences? [05:00] 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? [05:01] no [05:01] hmm [05:01] the one time I trust a desktop install :P [05:07] How do I get the Menu to appear under the GIMP window. I don't have File Edit View, etc [05:08] Where do I submit a bug for firefox3? You can't rename a file that you are going to save. Filename must be preserved.

[06:53] to grldr (since I want it to be the grub loader boot sector) [06:53] illmortal: yes [06:53] (which is what it currently is) [06:53] how would i go about that? [06:53] I think it would be like sudo mkdir /media/foo (to make a mountpoint) [06:54] then sudo mount /dev/sdx1 (or whatever the drive name is) /media/foo [06:54] foo?... [06:54] it will then bitch and give you the correct command if its a locked drive [06:54] illmortal: well you can replace foo with anything [06:54] it needs to be /media/mountpointname [06:55] you're losin me. [06:56] sudo mkdir /media/sda1 [06:56] sudo mount /dev/sda1 [06:56] right? [06:56] no no [06:56] sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 [06:56] first step is making a mount point. the second is mounting a drive to that mount point [06:57] i wonder [06:57] !mount [06:57] 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] nope [06:57] Operation not supported [06:57] Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use [06:57] ahh [06:57] does it give an alternate command? [06:57] mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force [06:58] ya.. [06:58] "if i don't have windows" [06:58] dosen't matter [06:58] ni8ce! [06:58] the 'correct' way to do it is to booth into windows, and shutdown ;p [06:58] nice!* [06:58] that's the 'unsafe' way ;p [07:00] thank you faileas :P [07:00] illmortal: np. hope you get your data out :) [07:01] Hello [07:01] hey Creed :) [07:01] faileas uh is / supposed to be also mounted as a media/hdx ? [07:01] I am very new to the linux community and have a question [07:02] Creed, just ask it [07:02] asking to ask something is pointless lol [07:02] ForgeAus: er... root isn't supposed to be mounted as anything but root. root tends to be ON a parttion methinks [07:02] back. reboot fixed dbus problems it seems [07:02] so now back to my real question. how do i get a vpn working in kde4? [07:02] yes faileas, ok, so how do I get a copy of my boot sector? [07:03] in fact where exactly is the boot sector? is it on hda, hda1, hda2 (where hda2 = / afaik) [07:03] ForgeAus: er... sadly enough, no idea. never done it before [07:03] its on HDA i think [07:03] its supposed to be kinda 'outside' the standard partitions [07:03] 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] well the command is generally something like dd if=/dev/hda of=backup.boot bs=512 count=1 [07:03] (where backup.boot = the filename) [07:04] but when I do that, I get it telling me dd: opening `/dev/hda': No such file or directory [07:04] hmm [07:04] maybe its hda1 or / instead? [07:04] now X will not load all I can access is command line [07:04] ie /dev/hda1 or / ??? but / doesn't sound right to me [07:04] hmm why doesn't grub have a grldr of its own lol grub4dos does [07:05] (but I doubt that one would work with linux) [07:05] I might ask in #grub maybe they'll know [07:05] hmm [07:05] actually i think mine has a uldr or something [07:05] one moment [07:06] is there a way to connect to a wireless network over command line [07:06] Creed: yes [07:07] faileas does stage1 or one of those files = the boot sector anyway? [07:07] ForgeAus: i don't mess with grub [07:07] its a TIFM for me [07:07] I'm not changing it, I'm trying to make a copy for ntldr to chain to it [07:08] 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] just this time its giving me an error I'm not sure why exactly [07:08] Sparr: what is the commands to do so [07:09] Creed: dont remember, sorry [07:09] ForgeAus: oh, when ntldr chained it, i seemed to have a gldr or something on my drive. this was on wubi tho [07:09] busy re-learning command line stuff for VPNs [07:09] since kde4 doesnt have vpn support yet (wtf) [07:09] thanks [07:09] ForgeAus: maybe it's /dev/sda now ? [07:09] gonna switch over to gnome and give this a shot [07:09] ..... [07:09] no grizzancs this pc has only IDE drives no sata [07:09] ForgeAus: he's right [07:09] but otherwise you'd be right (or if it were scsi or other) [07:09] on newer kernels EVERYTHING is SDA [07:10] Does anybody else know how to make a wireless network connection via command line [07:10] SDX even [07:10] really? this is only feisty anyway [07:10] Creed: most likely NetworkManager [07:10] the app. never used it myself tho [07:11] ForgeAus: ls /dev/?da will tell you [07:11] uh? [07:11] that didn't do anything [07:11] just took me back to a commandline [07:11] hmm, interesting [07:11] I am sorry but like I said I am new to linux command line interface [07:11] oh wait I used an I not an l [07:12] its ok... yeah says no such file or directory [07:12] where are your hard drives? :D is that only one hard drive in your pc ? [07:12] *there [07:12] I need to know the exact command string [07:13] actually I don't get why /dev/hda doesn't exist thats weird [07:13] me neither. type mount, and check what drive is / mounted on [07:13] ok look slike your right sda [07:13] maybe thats why [07:13] Creed: try man iwconfig [07:13] man iwconfig [07:14] thats very odd, since /media/hda1 is mounted there [07:14] I just assumed everything was hda (also being that its an ide not sata drive) [07:14] ok retrying with sda [07:15] faileas: thank you very much [07:15] Creed: np. did it work? [07:17] I dual boot between WinXP and Kubuntu at the moment I am on XP I will try this after rebooting [07:19] kk [07:20] Creed: man = manual page. fraid you'll have to make sense of it, but that should put you in the right direction i suspect [07:23] must have been feisty where the changeover to sda was... [07:24] I don't understand why mtab (and/or fstab) are mounting a device thats sda1 and calling it hda1 ... thats very confusing [07:24] stuck using gnome so i can get on a vpn [07:24] how annoying [07:24] just as annoying as not being able to use the keyboard and mouse because they [07:24] 're bluetooth [07:28] ForgeAus: old naming scheme vs new naming scheme? [07:28] ahh looks like it worked :) [07:29] yeah sparr, I think so [07:29] 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] whatever uses mtab might have kept it for compatibility purposes or something [07:29] ectospasm, could be worse but yes for the most part I agree with you [07:29] 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] I'm still not entirely happy with kde4 yet.... [07:30] ...to the panel, I mean. [07:30] uh the only problem I've had there is some of the widgets don't have an icon for me... [07:30] but adding and removing them they show up a number in the add/remove widgets box [07:31] so you just click the minus button to remove one [07:31] ForgeAus: how do you add them? Making the star yellow? THat doesn't always work for me [07:31] 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] ectospasm: select and hit the add button? [07:31] And clicking the red minus removes all the widgets, from all panels, not just the ones I want to remove [07:31] faileas: that doesn't work all the time for me, and I can't figure out why [07:31] i have a window that died on me [07:32] uh, really? theres another red minus somewhere... or somethings wrong or your KDE4 is different from mine [07:32] cant get it to go away, how do i find out what process owns it? [07:32] DarkriftX: xkill [07:32] Alt-F2 and run xkill [07:33] nice [07:33] thx [07:33] maybe you guys could help with my other problem :( [07:33] 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] I'm glad that worked... had to run Alt-F2 myself to make sure it still worked [07:33] busybox is teh suck [07:34] I hate it at work [07:34] its for a phone lol [07:34] this is on the tmobile g1 [07:34] lots of commands missing, we are using busybox to add them in [07:34] why the commas? [07:34] basically i want a script to read the list of all busybox commands and do "cp -s busybox $i" [07:34] because all lines with 3+ commas are a list of commands [07:34] other lines are text descriptions [07:35] you probably want to wrap the regex in quotes, so the shell doesn't interpret the expression [07:35] k [07:36] that's only a guess, and the grep on the g1 may be effectively worthless [07:36] so how do i remove a comma from $i on every line? [07:36] its busybox grep lol [07:36] its working though [07:36] just has command, [07:36] try sed [07:36] that's about the best I can offer, since I don't know sed [07:37] or awk [07:37] and my perl is so rusty it's not useful to anybody, even me [07:39] how do i say "for i in command; do this and do this; done" [07:39] the and part i dont know how to do [07:40] | caused probs lol [07:40] or is it & [07:40] DarkriftX: cmd1 && cmd2 [&& cmd3...] [07:41] if cmd1 fails, it won't execute cmd2 [07:41] 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? [07:42] DarkriftX: http://ardchoille.nfshost.com/Linux/CondExe [07:42] checking [07:42] illmortal: look up reinstalling grub [07:42] ok [07:42] oh, ok [07:42] thx [07:42] DarkriftX: or if you don't want to stop at fail you can just use ; [07:42] ok [07:42] wait... will i need a floppy drive, faileas? [07:43] !grub [07:43] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:43] i still dont see how to use awk or sed to do this [07:43] ;) [07:44] alright time to re-install winblows. [07:44] bbl =\ [07:44] man [07:44] DarkriftX: you can remove every comma from a file with: sed -i 's/,//g' filename [07:45] ive tried everything [07:45] its not a file [07:45] its piped from another command [07:45] for i in $(busybox|grep .*,.*,.*,.*); do echo $i; done [07:45] but $i always has a comma at the end [07:45] the output is always "text," [07:46] DarkriftX: try this in a terminal: echo "this is, a test" | sed 's/,//g' === patrick is now known as com_h [07:47] Well, another thing that could be tried is to pipe it into tr ',' '' [07:48] hmm, seems it won't like emptyness though :\ [07:48] if i do sed anything with just "sed 'something here'" it locks up [07:48] and i cant press ctrl+c in here [07:48] so its a reboot [07:50] space would work lol === root is now known as Guest82710 [07:51] damnit [07:51] everything i do puts me in interactive mode with something [07:51] and i have to reboot to get out [07:54] DarkriftX: Don't ctrl+c or "q" or Esc work? [07:55] 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] ctrl+c kills my connection to the device [07:55] q and esc do nothing [07:55] hello [07:57] screw it [08:13] hey guys [08:14] hey [08:14] how are you? [08:15] fine [08:15] when I was in my kubuntu desktop. suddenly everything changed to white, and after rebooting splash screen is ok, but after logging in, again just awhite screen, what's the problem?

[08:18] on kubuntu planet :) [08:18] can someone figure out watz wrong with my installation [08:18] jussi01: no, I did it before and have the same problem, but after that i've disabled it [08:18] 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] is there any other scan tool for kde that can directly create pdfs? [08:19] kubuntu 8.10 is crashing after i m entering my login [08:19] jussi01: but I've installed nvidia-glx-173, [08:19] This bug is really stressing me out, and ive googled it to death.... "Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'trash'. [08:19] i cant delete files to trash using gwenview [08:19] what does that error even mean?

[08:20] displayes KDE 4.1 one hdd icon then keyboard stops responding [08:21] Seaboy: usually sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh does it... but back up your xorg before doing that === patrick is now known as com_h [08:22] vasilisa: and you think it may solve my problem? [08:23] 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] jussi01 can u figure out [08:24] vasilisa: thanks, i'm going to try it [08:24] cool [08:24] ahem so anyway [08:24] "Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'trash'. [08:24] i dont like that bug, any ideas? [08:25] vasilisa: when do you get that error?

[10:06] woody86: heh... good question, but i don't shut konversation down when i shutdown kubuntu and that makes it re-appear when i boot into kubuntu afterwards [10:06] that probably is not the best way but it works for now [10:06] hihi [10:06] ;-) [10:07] JP-sNL3: oh, I didn't know it did that automatically :D Are you putting your system in hibernate, or fully shutting down?

I am running on a Dell E6500 laptop and when plugging in a vga monitor or dvi one using the docking station it doest work well at all! the external display is really glitchy and unusable!

[10:27] marekt: if they both run KDE, i tend to use fish. else i have a common SMB server for my network. [10:27] jussi01: it's not, I,m sure I've disabled it [10:27] Seaboy: do what jussi01 suggests [10:27] Seaboy: just check please [10:28] marekt: just open konqueror and do sftp://ip.address.of.machine [10:28] faileas i tried gfish bbut i get only "could not connect to host" [10:28] jussi01 i opened it and i can see a dialog with error about problem with sh [10:28] something on router? [10:32] jussi01, JP-sNL3: this is the whole content of the file : http://paste.ubuntu.com/67842/ [10:35] 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] ok i done it with installind openssh-server [10:35] can you tell me about the speed? it is awful - about 40 kBps, should be much much more [10:35] jussi01: any idea? [10:35] JP-sNL3: any idea? [10:36] Seaboy: what did you do to cause this? what were your actions last time it was working? [10:38] 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, [10:40] Seaboy: I would try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:40] Seaboy: although that might land you at busybox when booting afterwards [10:41] Seaboy: I've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg phigh, but nothing changed === tadej is now known as billiam === billiam is now known as garry === garry is now known as wri [10:43] jussi01: I've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg phigh, but nothing changed [10:43] 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 [10:46] jussi01: thanks, I'm gonna try it === vincent is now known as Guest47948 [10:52] hjjjk === studente is now known as _virgio_ [10:53] does anyone know how to get the intel X4500HD fully functioning ?

[11:18]  jussi01: yes, but after this problem I tried to remove it in console mode, and I don't know if it is removed or not, because there were some errors [11:20] 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 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [11:22] jussi01: you mean I should install nvidia-glx-legacy ? [11:22] Seaboy: which card do you have? [11:22]  jussi01: geforce fx5500 === hannibal is now known as goldensun [11:23] Seaboy: and you had legacy on that before? or?

[11:34] !anyone | shaka [11:34] 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? [11:36] 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 [11:37] jussi01: what exactly does nvidia-xconfig do? Does it just edit xorg.conf to add the driver? [11:37] ardchoille: more or less [11:37] thought so [11:38] ardchoille: has a number of useful switches for what will be added to it as well [11:38] oh, nice [11:38] shaka: right click the sound icon in your tray, then select master channel to select the correct channel that controls your card. [11:40] jussi01: I did and right now"front" is selected. Should it be anything other than that? [11:41] shaka: I would think it might be "master" or "pcm" ... if there are options for such [11:41] shaka: its dependant on your machine, many use front, some use pcm others master - have a play [11:41] jussi01: Wow thanks. I tried Most and PCM is the right one [11:41] kubuntu always defaults to 800x640 resolution during reboot? [11:41] shaka: :) [11:42] how come anyone got any idea? [11:42] dwidmann: thanks for your input too. This place rocks [11:42] anyone's desktop acting that way?

Monospace 8 does not do the same for me as monospace 8 on gnome-terminal [12:43] it seems konsole takes more vertical spacing [12:43] mefisto__: FF [12:44] aapzak: it doesn't work, either one. [12:44] neither do my shortcut kets from 8.04/kde3 [12:44] lokai: in that case you might not have desktop effects [12:44] kwin is installed... [12:44] that functionality is part of the eyecandy I think [12:45] aapzak: could you elaborate? [12:45] lokai: I stepped in after you asked your question, what is it exactly? [12:45] ok...does anyone know how to get the scale effect workign on kwin outof the box kde 4? [12:46] you should check your system settings: desktop -> desktop effects, tab all effects [12:47] where is scale? [12:47] it is not on the list. [12:47] the effect is called "Present Windows" in KWin, as I said before [12:47] thatone I see inthere [12:47] sorry JontheEchidna, must have missed that. [12:47] lets try.

[13:33] yes [13:33] I HATE KDE4 [13:33] what specifically do you hate about it? [13:33] none of the effects work (they ARE enabled), not of my previous hotkeys work [13:33] and there is no minimize/maximize button [13:33] HAR HAR [13:33] 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 [13:34] its a broken system for me. [13:34] no idea why [13:34] but that's almost more a complaint about this stupid 16:9 aspect that everything is going to [13:34] NO IDEA [13:34] whats the default port for putty/ssh? [13:34] lokai: whichh version are you using? [13:34] scribbles: 22 [13:34] jussi01: the latest [13:34] schmidtm: ssh uses port 22, make sure your server has the "ssh" package installed [13:34] so 8.10? [13:34] did you do a clean install or an upgrade? [13:34] upgrade [13:34] and yes, 8.10 [13:35] cause kde4 isn't going to be compatible with the old kde3 settings in a lot of cases I'm thinking [13:35] so you're going to need to go set things up [13:35] apparently not. but it shouldn't let you 'upgrade' if it needs a 'clean install' [13:35] the widgets on the desktop and stuff are all new and really different form the kde3 versions [13:35] 'upgrade' ~= 'clean install' [13:35] idiots. [13:35] well [13:35] (not you all) [13:35] you've upgraded teh OS in all fairness [13:35] and kde4 is installed, it likely used what settings were similar and it could figure out [13:36] 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] that be an awful lot to ask [13:36] don't expect it to. I expect it to be usuable, though. [13:36] ati video card? [13:36] lokai, it is usable. [13:36] no, integreated intel [13:36] do you ahve the HUGE font thing going on? [13:36] lokai, this is a support channel; do you have an actual support question [13:37] no, I had tiny font at the beginning. THAT was one thing I could change [13:37] where you can't get the windows text to a font size that's under like 1/4 of the screen? [13:37] bazhang: I've asked already, no one can help. Can you? haha. [13:37] oh I had the HUGe font thing going when I did my laptop to 8.04 [13:38] lokai, I see no questions. [13:38] fine. here goes [13:38] 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] though my 8.04 remix install on the laptop at home is super solid [13:38] I did apt-get autoremove proftpd and reloaded KUser but there's still a proftpd user in the menu, is it safe to remove it? [13:39] hide panel change width not length cashew sliders dont do that. how to. [13:39] Why can I not configure keybindings? (They are there, but don't work) Why do no desktop effects work? (They are enabled) Why can I not see a minimize/maximize/close toolbar on my GUI apps? [13:39] there goes my question [13:39] scribbles: it's probably safe, but there's no real need to remove it. it does no harm [13:39] ;) [13:39] !netsplit [13:39] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

(They are there, but don't work) Why do no desktop effects work? (They are enabled) Why can I not see a minimize/maximize/close toolbar on my GUI apps? [13:41] perhaps you've got a theme selected that's no longer part of the distribution? [13:41] 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] btw, has anyone had any issues with 64bit 8.10? [13:41] lokai, you have compiz running? [13:41] panel can you change width not length and hide it or not [13:41] bazhang: No. I tried to do that, it didn't seem to work either. Right now, compiz is not on my machine. [13:42] when adding a user in KUser what is the Account Disabled default checked for? [13:42] lokai, you are referring to native kde4 desktop effects then? [13:42] good thing there is still gnome in the mean time [13:44] bazhang: yes, the native kwin effects. [13:44] but its totally broken anyways, even without the effects [13:44] lokai, perhaps your machine is older and not up to the requirements. [13:45] bullsh [13:45] 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] I was runnign kde3/8.04 fine [13:45] with all the glx effects. [13:45] lokai, try lxde [13:45] bazhang: do you know what you're talking about? [13:45] hi guys [13:45] lokai, lxde is much easier on ram, and cpu cycles [13:46] sudo apt-get install lxde [13:46] 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] bazhang: Nice 'support', thanks bud. [13:46] You should recommend I install windows, its easier. [13:47] 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.

[13:48] jussi01: I'll try that. === universidad is now known as Fachf [13:49] how do I ensure that the new user I created cannot access sudo? [13:49] lokai: best do that while you are logged out - from a tty. after that login again [13:49] all right I can ssh in from another machine. What are the problems if I mv while in this session? [13:50] scribbles: don't tell them the password. [13:50] scribbles: Do not put them in the admin group. [13:50] 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] kk, be back [13:51] btw where does kdm store the last used windowmanager? [13:52] i realized if i change the wm when logged in it will load the last used one === pox_ is now known as amdpox === vsudilov is now known as lokai [13:54] so i used kwin in my last xfce session and now it always crashes when i try to login :( [13:54] 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. [13:55] lokai: there is some stuff in the release notes, sometimes it does funky things. it happens with a new major release. [14:02] sunwukong: hello [14:09] 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? [14:10] click the little crescent thing [14:10] when that opens the "settings" menu thingy you can then drag it to the side of the screen you want it on [14:10] its' not very intuitive and I didn't realize how to do that for a while [14:11] got it, thanks [14:11] my keybindings still don't work [14:11] Hi. [14:11] can't help there, sorry, I don't use keybindings [14:12] 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 [14:13] but after rebooting, it also have the same problem. [14:13] 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] hm, whats the kwin effect for (make this window transparent with I drag it) [14:15] xomp: couldn't you just use your package manager to get rid of it? [14:15] 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 :( [14:16] apt get remove kde [14:16] I can make sound card work by this command "modprobe snd-hda-intel model=lg" [14:16] kubuntu-desktop package is ubuntu+KDE, I suspect. [14:16] i have a problem with kopete [14:16] but how I configure to make it work after reboot [14:17] !puregnome [14:17] 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] everytime i try to use kopete the system slows up and the completely freezes [14:18] everytime i try to use kopete the system slows up and then completely freezes [14:18] looks like it might make you repeat your typing too.... [14:18] ;) [14:18] bluecopper, remove it's configuration if you can [14:19] it'll be in the .kde directory in your homedirectory [14:19] just do cd .kde [14:19] find . -name "*kopete*" [14:19] well wud a config file be create if the no accounts have been created yet [14:19] and move it to whatever it's name .bak [14:19] and restart it [14:19] yeah [14:20] 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] jazz [14:20] o i c [14:20] will try that and let u know [14:20] sure [14:21] anyone get a keybinding for konsole to work under kde4? [14:24] I created a user and I want them to be able to ssh via putty into my box, is ssh installed/enabled by default in kubuntu? [14:24] if not, which package do I get? [14:24] scribbles: install the ssh package for the server and client. [14:25] hey guys, does anybody have a problem with firefox not seeing flash player 10? [14:25] and the problem is not from the location of the plugin [14:25] ~ssh [14:25] !ssh [14:25] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [14:26] 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] sysstemlord: you mean flash 10 is not installed in firefox? it doesn't appear in about:plugins ?? [14:26] jussi01: hi, remember me? [14:26] it doesn't [14:27] i installed it from adept, and from the debian package [14:27] sysstemlord: and there is no other flash plugin listed? [14:28] 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] no other [14:28] anyone have an idea why my keybinding for konsole isn't working? [14:29] sysstemlord: does /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so exist? [14:29] 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] now it does because i have flash 9 [14:30] should i remove 9 and try? [14:30] so does anyone have any experience with the 64bit Kubuntu 8.10 yet? [14:30] any real gotcha's that make it less usable than the 32bit one? [14:30] also, running core 2 duo chips, you're 64bit compatible right? [14:31] sysstemlord: but is flash 9 working in firefox? [14:31] yes [14:31] sysstemlord: I installed flash 10 by just replacing libflashplayer.so v9 with the 10 version [14:32] i tried that [14:33] before replacing the file, it works in firefox [14:33] but after replacing the file [14:33] it disappears [14:34] sysstemlord: after replacing libflashplayer.so, did you restart firefox? [14:34] yes of course, but only didn't restart the whole computer [14:35] sysstemlord: do you have /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ?? On mine, that is a link to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [14:37] sysstemlord: also, /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin is linked to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [14:37] i have it linking to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin [14:38] which links to your file [14:38] mozilla-flashplugin also links to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so here [14:39] yeah, that's the case, and now when i tried opening konqueror, it has flash 9 loaded [14:39] but the file has been replaced [14:39] but anyway, it doesn't seem to work in konqueror either [14:40] 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] sysstemlord: you can specify where konqueror looks for plugins and in what order. in settings, configure konqueror, plugins [14:42] does flash 10 require any other updates to the system? [14:42] because the problem seems to be not only in firefox [14:42] thanks bazhang [14:43] 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 [14:44] 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] 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) [14:45] i'm gonna copy the file directly to firefox === desti_T2 is now known as desti [14:49] I can't even download the install cd for 8.10 right now [14:50] I click the download button on the download page after picking a mirror and it just sits there [14:50] no help [14:51] hi. how can I check the details of an ext3 partition, such as indoe size etc? [14:51] inode size* [14:53] vcxcv: sudo tune2fs -l /dev/ [14:53] kalorin: Have you tried to wget it yet? [14:53] ty [14:54] vcxcv: np [14:54] i removed all link flash related and installed from the deb package, but this of course didn't change anything [14:54] the problem seems to be from the plugin itself [14:55] keybindings are a mess in kde4. [14:57] sysstemlord: I have 2 computers running ubuntu with flash 10 running if firefox, seamonkey and konqueror without problems [14:58] would it be a difference if it's kubuntu? [14:58] sysstemlord: no. I have kubuntu and xfce and flash 10 runs on either [14:59] 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] because it must be found [15:00] sysstemlord: was firefox installed from repos? [15:01] 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 [15:02] sysstemlord: is this folder in your home dir? [15:02] in /usr/lib [15:04] Seaboy: yes, i remember you :) [15:05] sysstemlord: I have firefox and firefox-3.0.3 and firefox-addons [15:06] i have this firefox-addons too, and inside it a link to the plugin folder inside mozilla [15:06] Hi :) Do i need AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, AntiSpam, Firewall on Kubuntu? [15:06] !virus [15:06] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [15:06] !firewall [15:06] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [15:07] !spyware [15:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about spyware [15:07] !spam [15:07] Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[15:07] I'm following this here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto I created the SSH keys and have a public/private key now, is the public key only available to me as a user, do I login as each user and create a keypair for that user as well in their home directory following these instructions? [15:07] so no need to install anything :D? [15:07] 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] noobstyle: not really [15:08] isp login? [15:08] i have a router - Dlink 120 [15:08] Dir-120 it's called i think.. [15:08] noobstyle: most DSL/cable routers act as NAT firewalls [15:08] noobstyle: Then your computer does not have an external IP on the internet, just the router does [15:08] nice :) [15:08] So no need for firewall? [15:08] i'm installing now a package called flashplayer-mozilla, inside flash 9 [15:08] i'll see what happens [15:09] noobstyle: Not usually but you can still put one on if it makes you feel better :) [15:09] i am tryin to establish a vpn connection, but i receive that error: "ISAKMP from unexpected address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" what does it mean? [15:09] genii: which one should i install? should i do it from Adept?

[15:11] sudo apt-get install [15:11] !firewall | noobstyle, this talks about both gnome and kde, pick your choice [15:11] noobstyle, this talks about both gnome and kde, pick your choice: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [15:11] noobstyle: For Kubuntu Adept is the default package manager [15:11] noobstyle: although personally, i'd say don't bother. [15:11] Yes. But i'm not sure what Gnome and Guarddog is [15:11] I use homebanking etc.. i want to be safe [15:11] Gnome is a desktop environment [15:11] yeS? [15:11] yes that's what i have [15:11] KDE is another desktop environment [15:12] noobstyle: GNOME is the desktop environment used on Ubuntu, KDE is the one used on Kubuntu. [15:12] so i should take KDE? [15:12] noobstyle: i'd do that. [15:12] guarddog it is then [15:12] 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] Do i have to change anything to make my kubuntu kde ? === rien-ne-va-plus is now known as rien|afk [15:12] if you installed kubuntu, you are running KDE by default. [15:12] ok LjL.. :) should i make any changes before i install guarddog then? [15:13] if your router is doing NAT firewalling, then there's most likely not any reason to drop packets on your computer itself [15:13] installing Guarddog now :) [15:13] noobstyle, as i said, Ubuntu uses GNOME, Kubuntu uses KDE [15:13] !flavors [15:13] !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu [15:13] if you didn't have KDE (or another desktop environment), then you would not have any graphical output [15:13] ok. [15:13] it is installed now.

[15:14] i dont understand.. choosing kde ? [15:14] Sure LjL: why doesn't my keybinding for firefox work? [15:15] lokai: i don't know, what keybinding would that be for a start? [15:15] alt f [15:15] noobstyle, if you're running Kubuntu (and not Ubuntu, and never installed ubuntu-desktop), then you're using KDE. [15:15] there is quite a mess with how kde4 handles keybindings, in general. [15:16] Ok LjL. It have this VPN service called Relakks. It is PPTP VPN. Do you know how to set it up? [15:16] kglobalshortcutrc keeps getting appended, seemingly every time I access the gui keyboard shortcuts in systemsettings. === hlousek is now known as sdfahs [15:18] noobstyle: you can see what you are running by typing in "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" in the konsole.

[15:23] Hence my original comment [15:23] there are other problems [15:23] but this is pretty major [15:24] for me, anyways. [15:24] well you should file a bug, this is clearly not correct behavior [15:24] !bugs [15:24] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [15:24] I find it very difficult to understand how something so fundamental could be overlooked [15:25] do a google search--other people have the same complaint [15:25] so, its not isolated [15:25] which makes me quite frustrated with that fact that it was released. [15:25] (and I upgraded) [15:26] I've had to trash my ~/.kde twice now because of a corrupted kglobalshortcutsrc [15:26] !enter [15:26] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:27] thanks. [15:28] noobstyle: If you have more than one desktop environment installed (like both KDE and Gnome for instance) then your login screen will let you decide at that time which one you want to use when you login [15:29] anyone figured out how to add custom functionality to the middle mouse button? [15:30] of course not. [15:31] lokai: 60 seconds is not quite enough time for someone to look that up ;) [15:31] lokai: yes, on a logitech mouse I can. [15:32] How did you do it? Going through systemsettings->advanced->input actions does not work for me [15:33] oh another quick question: Does the default "HELLO" (CRTL+ALT+H) work for anyone on a fresh install? [15:33] 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] jussi01: k thanks for the tip. I'm thinking of going back to compiz anyways, which does allow that functionality that I want === Czessi_ is now known as Czessi [15:34] I fear that going back to compiz will mean going back to kde3, also. [15:37] jussi01: You using 8.10 with btnx? The developer says that 8.10 breaks it...http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ [15:38] lokai: hadnt looked at it yet, but thats sad. :( [15:39] oh another quick question: Does the default "HELLO" (CRTL+ALT+H) work for anyone on a fresh install? [15:40] 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? [15:41] aaroncampbell /usr/bin/system-config-printer-kde [15:42] aaroncampbell it is also in the Kmenu [15:42] lokai: I think ctrl-alt-h is supposed to hibernate [15:42] it is going to be 2days that I don't have my desktop, and nobody can help [15:43] genii: not according to the keyboard shortcuts entry. In any case nothing happens when I press it. [15:43] How can I know from which package depends one package [15:43] genii: I am just wondering if anything happens for anyone. [15:43] Seaboy: whats you problem? [15:43] hi. suppose that I have myscript.sh. How can i retrieve, inside the script itself, the directory where the script is located ? [15:43] ocs: I think inside the script: . otherscipr.sh [15:44] KDesk: when I login. I just have the mouse pointer and a white screen, and nothing else [15:45] KDesk: I can't find it in the KMenu [15:45] genii: cat ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc | grep "Type 'Hello'" [15:45] Seaboy: You have intrepid? is it a new install or an upgrade? [15:45] KDesk: but I have it running...now I need to find what happened :| [15:45] lokai: Doesn't seem to do anything on my box here [15:45] kde3 or 4? [15:46] lokai: Right now I'm on 3 [15:46] ah hahahah! [15:46] KDesk: yes, new install, and I used it for some days, then it suddenly happened while I was copying a disc [15:46] dont upgrade to 4 [15:46] it fails, utterly. [15:46] It says: Stopped - Filter "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brldwrapper_mfc9440cn" for printer "MFC9440CN" not available: Permission Denied [15:47] genii: all the problems that I have been complaining about are kde4 problems. [15:47] lokai: I'm usually reluctant to make major changes until the big bugs are worked out of the system :) [15:47] genii: and as you might suspect, I'm quite upset that I upgraded. [15:47] genii: same. I didn't wait long enough. [15:47] 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 ? [15:48] lokai: I believe you can still run kde3 if you want [15:48] genii: how would you go about going that? [15:48] *doing [15:49] genii: but only in hardy. [15:49] Seaboy: Have you tried to reconfigure xorg? [15:49] that means I'm out of luck. I've upgraded to 8.10 [15:49] and KDE4 comes by default [15:49] 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 [15:50] I'm very, very, very disappointed that they released this to the general public before it was ready [15:50] there's a workaround to run kde3 on intrepid [15:50] !intrepidkde3 [15:50] No, intrepid does not include KDE 3, only KDE 4. Please continue to use Hardy if KDE 3 is deisred. [15:50] 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] KDesk: yes, i tried [15:50] faileas: If you have a link I'm sure lokai would like it :) [15:50] yes, faileas [15:51] gimme a moment. need to go look it up again [15:51] thanks [15:51] Seaboy: hmm, I think it is nvidia driver fault.

Which nvidia driver version do you have? [15:54] Seaboy: have you tried to start x with the free 2d nv driver? [15:55] KDesk: I've installed 173, but after this problem I tried to remove it. however I think it didn't remove [15:56] Seaboy: I am reading this, it seems that support from your card is removed from 173. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=945899 === ubuntu is now known as chownedByKDE [15:57] KDesk: so what should I do? will removing it solve the problem? I've tried many sollutions but none of them worked [15:57] Seaboy: have you tried to remove, and install it with the envy utility? [15:58] !downgrade [15:58] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [15:58] Seaboy: First I think you have to remove that driver.

[15:59] it only shows the red X and doesnt control volume [16:00] scdeville: does it work with alsamixer ? [16:00] bonjour [16:00] I don't have it [16:00] svp y'as qq qui parle en francais ?

[16:01] no [16:02] !fr | nadhemos [16:02] nadhemos: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [16:02] well this box is on KDE4. got another one on hardy and another one on the enlightenment based ubuntu varient [16:02] thankyou! [16:02] 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) [16:03] 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] scdeville: so you dont have alsamixer? install alsa-utils [16:04] KDesk: I think I should reinstall kubuntu, but is there anyway to use tha packages I've downloaded? [16:04] ok i'll try it thank you [16:04] sparr: kde4 has not so many apps as kde3, but you can also install kde3 apps [16:04] Seaboy: yes, they are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [16:05] KDesk: im referring to kde4 replacements for kde3 apps. i cant (?) install kde3's network manager, or use kde3's panel, etc [16:06] 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] 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 [16:07] 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] if in the terminal how do i cd to a file? [16:08] Seaboy: no problem. I dont know, but I think maybe in .nero/ [16:08] KDesk: is the kde downloader thing broken? i only see two or three widgets available when i try to download new ones [16:08] KDesk: I said nero? I mean k3b [16:09] 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] anyone know how do i navigate to a folder from konsole [16:10] hej! i want to install intrepid in my existing lvm group - has anybody any idea how to map the existing lvm grp while the installation-process (command-line)? === universidad is now known as Fachf [16:10] Seaboy: ah, the k3b config is in .kde/share/ but I dont think that k3b saves the image, maybe take a look at /tmp/ [16:11] Sokal-EC: use cd to change dirictory. ls to list the content [16:11] KDesk: thank you very much [16:11] Sokal-EC: cd /home/youuser/folder [16:12] Seaboy: np, good luck! [16:13] 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 [16:14] yu could just run the gnome network-manager tool [16:14] no need to use all of gnome perhaps [16:14] 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 [16:15] 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] 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] sparr, isent that special.. :) [16:16] My printer won't work since the 8.10 upgrade. It keeps saying "Unable to start filter "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" - Permission denied." [16:16] rrittenhouse, what video card? [16:16] 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 [16:17] dr_willis: Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT [16:17] sparr: but if you have the networkmanager from gnome it should work in kde. HAve you the network-manager-kde pakcage installed? [16:17] dr_willis: I'm an ubuntu user and I've never had an issue (even Ibex). I'm just wondering what could be wrong. [16:18] 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] 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] dr_willis: True. I should have just done that.. gah! :) [16:19] rrittenhouse, one of the first things i do on a new box. :) install all the desktops and stuff [16:19] 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] 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. [16:20] 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 [16:23] 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 === apachelogger is now known as Oxyhydrogen === rien|afk is now known as rien-ne-va-plus [16:29] The problem I was having with my printer (It kept saying :Unable to start filter "/usr/local/Brother/Printer/mfc9440cn/cupswrapper/brlpdwrapper_mfc9440cn" - Permission denied.) was able to get fixed with "sudo aa-complain cupsd" ...will that be a permanent fix or will I need to do that on every reboot? [16:31] is there anyway to backup installed packages and use it later, I should mention that I just have access to console mode [16:32] KDesk: yes, i have network-manager-kde installed. the kde4 version has no support for VPNs (and doesn't work with my ethernet connection anyways, but that's another bug for another day) [16:32] sparr: which is the kde4 version? I thought it wasn't ready. [16:33] it isn't, that's the point [16:33] sparr: ah, where do you got the kde4 version?

Could anyone please help me configure the quality of service (QoS) so that all the connections going to and from my xbox 360 (it always has the same ip and is always connected to the same network interface card) get the highest priority? thanks [18:42] snikker: This Intrepid release lives up to its name by including many changes, but there are some features that are not yet available in KDE 4. If you would rather stay with what you know then remember that Kubuntu 8.04 is still fully supported, see KDE3-KDE4Migration and Is KDE 4.1 for you? for more information on deciding. [18:42] snikker: that's off the kubuntu front page... so I guess not [18:44] exsolved: It's going to /var/www rather than /home/aaroncampbell/sitename_www [18:44] makdaknife: mmm, so i can't downgrade... ok, thanks for help :) [18:47] exsolved: Here is one of the many virtual host configs that no longer works: http://www.paste2.org/p/97331 [18:47] snikker: sure, no problem... sorry if you've run into a problem... [18:47] seele: how are you getting along getting your kernel headers? [18:48] makdaknife: np :) [18:48] where or how do I report bugs about kubuntu in launchpad? [18:49] and I have the sites name (meqfuelnet) set in /etc/hosts ...so it points to 127.0.0.1 but shows the default page :| [18:49] hoonteke: Report them under the relevant packages in the Ubuntu project. [18:50] Hola [18:50] !es | dario_ [18:50] dario_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [18:50] Pici: k. so ... I've found a bug in 8.10 with kmail. Do I pick kmail-kde4 as the package? [18:50] tank you [18:50] aaroncampbell: have you corrected to default home directory in apache.conf to point to /home/aaroncampbell/ sounds like you now have the default directory [18:50] dario_: You are welcome [18:51] hoonteke: hardy or intrepid? [18:51] I heard there was a big problem with Ubuntu 8.10 something everyone hates, is that true? [18:51] stdin: intrepid [18:52] stdin: 8.10 is intrepid, yes? [18:52] hoonteke: Its actually kdepim for intrepid. [18:52] SJr|Work: depends on what the problem is that you heard about... [18:52] hoonteke: ye [18:52] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+filebug [18:52] exsolved: no, I ran a diff between my apache2.conf from before and now, and they're basically the same (except for a logging line: CustomLog /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined) [18:52] I think something with Network Manager being retarded [18:52] genii: tank you [18:52] Hi, i managed to share my internet connection with my 360 with firestarter but if im downloading things on my computer, i lag on xbox live. Could anyone please help me configure the quality of service (QoS) so that all the connections going to and from my xbox 360 (it always has the same ip and is always connected to the same network interface card) get the highest priority? thanks [18:52] k [18:53] SJr|Work: I haven't heard about the issue... but I haven't changed to 8.10 because I currently prefer kde3 to kde4 [18:53] Oh wait you mean I can't use KDE 3.5 with Kubuntu 8.10? [18:54] SJr|Work: indeed... really important caveat... that I don't think has been made clear enough to people [18:54] aaroncampbell: have you tried updating the current config to /home/aaroncampbell/sitename_ww rather than /var... Putting the absolute path - that is what i had to do [18:54] You mean I can't even install it makdaknife? [18:54] is there anybody here with some nfs knowledge? [18:54] SJr|Work: from the front page of the Kubuntu website: This Intrepid release lives up to its name by including many changes, but there are some features that are not yet available in KDE 4. If you would rather stay with what you know then remember that Kubuntu 8.04 is still fully supported, see KDE3-KDE4Migration and Is KDE 4.1 for you? for more information on deciding. [18:54] exsolved: I have about 30 sites on here, so I need to keep them all as virtual hosts. [18:54] SJr|Work: you can still use kde3 apps though [18:55] papegaaij: what's up? [18:55] argh this sucks [18:55] i'm having trouble mounting nfs with kubuntu [18:55] makdaknife: the nfs mount dies after a couple of hours === awidegreen__ is now known as awidegreen [18:55] Hmmmm is there some reason why I'd want to use x86_64 installer instead of just the i686 one? [18:55] makdaknife: after which i can no longer mount any nfs mounts [18:55] I just pasted the code from my virtual host into the apache2.conf just above where it's supposed to include all the virtual hosts, and it works...either they aren't getting included, or it's choosing the wrong one to send me to [18:55] papegaaij: hmmm is it on a local network? [18:56] makdaknife: yes, crosscable, and the network is fine, statically configured [18:56] all other services are ok, nis is working (same server and client) and the server is also the gateway (nat) [18:56] when i try to mount, i do see the mount request, and it is authenticated, but then nothing happens [18:57] 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 [18:58] 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] 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? [18:59] makdaknife: the strangest thing is that is working fine for several hours, and then just stops [19:00] 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] ufw seems to use iptables underneath itself [19:00] makdaknife: how do i list all rules? [19:00] iptables -l? [19:01] iptables -L shows nothing [19:01] papegaaij: iptables -L [19:01] papegaaij: I don't think you have any firewall issues... [19:01] at least, no rules :) [19:01] i did not enable the firewall, so unless it's enabled by default, it should be disabled [19:01] 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.. [19:02] makdaknife: stdin: it looks like it worked.. thanks a lot! [19:02] makdaknife: stdin: if you guys are at UDS in december i'll owe you a beer ;P [19:02] all i see in the log on the system is 'nfs: server fileserver not responding, still trying' [19:02] 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] seele: great to hear it [19:03] well, i was having trouble with the network [19:03] i could not get NetworkManager to use a static configuration [19:03] it kept on falling back to dhcp [19:03] papegaaij: bah... knetworkmanager can be a real pain in the ass sometimes [19:03] via which it could not get an ip, so it disabled eth0 again [19:04] thanks Pici, stdin. Bug reported. [19:04] papegaaij: so how have you gotten around that? [19:04] what's happening to the kde4 ppa for 8.04? will it continue to be updated? [19:04] well, i've stopped NetworkManager, after which the network seems to be fine [19:04] i entered the settings in /etc/network/interfaces [19:04] papegaaij: good [19:05] papegaaij: its difficult to troubleshoot something like this... are you aware of it being a specific length of time before your NFS connection drops? [19:06] makdaknife: no, yesterday it was at 1:44, to day somewhere around 10 in the morning [19:07] Hi, can i change the mouse cursor in Kubuntu 8.04 KDE3 ? [19:07] makdaknife: i did not yet reboot the system and currently i still cannot mount nfs [19:07] so i'm trying to fine a way to troubleshoot the client side [19:07] because the server side seems to be working fine [19:07] papegaaij: can you mount the nfs with another machine? [19:08] yes, this machine (also kubuntu) has the same mount mounted [19:08] 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] im using Audigy 1 SE [19:08] papegaaij: so it definitely sounds like something with the client [19:09] yes [19:09] papegaaij: gimme a few minutes... === johnflux_ is now known as JohnFlux [19:11] I couldn't figure out yet to have Ctrl+Shift+K to open a terminal window. How do I configure that. I found keyboard shortcuts in System settings, but I don't manage to get them to work. Is there step by step tutorial? [19:11] I have Kubuntu Intrepid [19:11] why I can make the luna aplet bigger? Aren't there bigger images or svg? [19:11] Anyone using bluetooth? It is not recognized at login _or_ once logged in unless I run sudo hidd --search. I have HIDD_ENABLED=1 in config, no dice... [19:11] papegaaij: try nfsstat -c [19:11] testi: maybe that key is used by somethink else. [19:11] 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 [19:12] makdaknife: on the server? [19:12] papegaaij: on the client [19:12] papegaaij: check the number under retrans [19:13] dwidmann: that service mounted automatically at startup chosen partitions.. i would like to have them mounted automatically [19:13] it's currently at 598 [19:13] reese: in that case, add them to your /etc/fstab [19:13] Why would I want to choose the x86_64 cd's besides getting 64-bit support which seems pointless [19:14] dwidmann, thanks [19:14] and seems stable [19:14] !fstab | reese [19:14] Can it be that there are some problems with kde 4.1? [19:14] 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] papegaaij: that sounds high... this indicates that it has been retransmitting requests... which is meant to indicate network issues [19:14] when i try to mount, it changes to 599 [19:15] papegaaij: what about pinging the server? [19:15] makdaknife: but that is really weird, because the network is working fine [19:15] papegaaij: do you get any loss? [19:15] makdaknife: i can even log on with ssh on the server [19:15] and the server also is the internet gateway for that machine [19:15] papegaaij: try ping and see if there are any packets lost over say 50 pings [19:16] hi out there. could anybody please tell me, where in kde4 do I find now kdeprintfax? [19:16] makdaknife: i don't see any packet loss [19:17] papegaaij: you could try nfsstat -s and hunt through the output there for clues [19:18] KDesk: no [19:19] papegaaij: also what does your nfs mount look like in your fstab (obfuscate any sensitive data) [19:19] fileserver:/home /home nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0 [19:23] papegaaij: out of interest why have you specified write and read sizes? [19:23] makdaknife: performance [19:23] but i just tried with no options at all, still doesn't work [19:24] 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] makdaknife: same here [19:25] and this is getting really frustrating === ayak is now known as Eg_virus [19:25] i switched from gentoo to ubuntu because of the time it takes to maintain a gentoo install [19:25] but it seems like ubuntu might be taking even more :/ [19:25] papegaaij: nothing in the logs? [19:25] nothing at all [19:26] just that one line, stating that the server is not responding === Eg_virus is now known as r0o0t [19:26] and no other lines at that time [19:26] crikey... [19:26] and nothing on the server [19:27] hi all how can i make my own Irc chat rooms in ubuntu ? [19:27] papegaaij: can you umount? [19:28] desrt: Did you use visudo when editing so that it will catch any syntax problems? [19:28] makdaknife: how do i unmount a stale nfs mount? [19:29] just ls / kills my terminal :) [19:29] Wrong channel. sorry [19:29] it's currently locking all filesystem request, waiting for the server to come back up [19:29] papegaaij: you could do a lazy unmount... I think its umount -l /mountpoint [19:29] papegaaij: then try remount it [19:30] asking again: where in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10 can I find kdeprintfax? [19:30] lazy unmount worked, remount not [19:30] any one can help me .. i wanna make connect back door with some server and i wanna use irc boot [19:30] btw, i also tried restarting networking, portmap and nfs-common [19:30] that also didn't help [19:32] papegaaij: damn that's some heavy voodoo going on there [19:33] papegaaij: in your mount options try and specify proto=udp [19:33] papegaaij: you might find that it behaves better [19:34] hello niggers. [19:35] makdaknife: doesn't it default to udp? [19:35] hmmm [19:35] i think it defaults to tcp... but if you have a mount up... you can check how its mounted using nfsstat -m [19:35] that is working [19:36] i just mounted it :/ [19:36] abracadoobra.... [19:36] hell... I don't know what's wrong there... but hopefully that will hold until you can work it out [19:36] HI I just installed KDE4 on Ubuntu last night, all is well except i cant get Vmware server to load, do i have to reinstall vmware server? [19:37] papegaaij: I have to head off soon... if you come up with anything... message me directly... I'll be afk, but if I happen to see a message I might pick it up [19:37] makdaknife: many thanks for your help [19:37] hopefully udp will keep on working [19:37] perhaps the tcp connection died somehow [19:37] good nite niggers. [19:38] good thing udp doesn't have connections :) [19:38] papegaaij: hey no problem... hopefully all is good after that... its an honour to be able to help out an ex-gentoo user [19:39] ;-) [19:39] laterz everyone [19:39] hehe, bye [19:39] I just installed KDE4 on Ubuntu last night, all is well except i cant get Vmware server to load, do i have to reinstall vmware server? === Cueball is now known as Cueball|Away === rien is now known as rien-ne-va-plus [19:51] Hi, anyone else experinced crash in KTorrent when left-clicking a download item? [19:53] hi....what's the best solution to get firefox to look somwhat decent with kubuntu intrepid? [19:54] it's really ugly by default [19:54] probably all gnome apps are [19:54] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7574 [19:55] how can i overwrite a read only file in a certain folder? thanks. i think i need sudo to open it but wasnt able to rewrite it after i modified it since it was read only [19:56] jonthe: thanks [20:02] hi, i have install kubuntu 8.10 in my acer 4520, and now my notebook dont enter in suspend or hibernation mode. In Kubuntu 8.04 it s ok. [20:02] i try boot in init 1 for check modules problems [20:03] but no work [20:05] this notebook use nvdia chipset [20:09] is help not included with Kubuntu 8.10? About everytime I go for a handbook, I get an error message and no help [20:10] 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] and an empty help-browser page. [20:10] 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: sudo apt-get install kdepim-doc [20:10] hoonteke: a lot of the time the documentation is stored in separate packages [20:10] How can I get kdm not to produce 1.5GB large log-files everytime I use it (/var/log/kdm.log)? [20:11] hmm, I guess for completeness of the distribution, I'm surprised at that choice of removal. [20:11] ok, thanks for that [20:11] @ JontheEchidna and dwidmann [20:13] dwidmann: ok, thanks for your help [20:13] 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. [20:17] Iesos: you could set up cron jobs to remove them in the meantime [20:18] dwidmann, thats kind of an ugly way to do it, but if you walk me through it... [20:19] hoe can i force to eject a cd [20:20] wesley: eject [20:20] Iesos: Okay, open a terminal, and type in "sudo crontab -e" [20:21] done [20:21] does not work, wine is using it, but it says it needs second cd but i dont get it eject [20:22] so... the syntax is every 5 ***** and it runs every 5 minutes, right? [20:22] then the command? [20:22] and its only suppose to be 4 * [20:22] right? [20:22] Iesos: right, only 4 stars [20:23] so "5**** rm /var/log/kdm.log*" [20:23] Iesos: then the command, something like rm /var/log/.... [20:23] Iesos: there ya go, save and make sure cron is running and you're set [20:24] ok, thx. [20:25] emilsedgh that does not work [20:25] Iesos: does cat /var/log/kdm.log | tail -n 20 show the error that makes the file so large? [20:26] favro, I have allready removed them :-/ [20:27] wesley: unmount first: sudo umount -f /media/cdrom && eject [20:27] Iesos: oh well [20:27] did a kde4 version of amarok not make it into intrepid? I can't seem to find it in adept-manager [20:27] and the version I have installed seems to be for kde 3.5 [20:27] hi, anybody speak on russian? [20:28] wolfjb: it's still in beta, so it's not in intrepid ... but you can install the beta if you want to (it will *replace* the kde3 version though, be warned) [20:28] no one? [20:28] in kmixer, both capture channels symbols are red and have a "pause" symbol next to them, how do I fix this so that I can record? [20:28] emilsedgh he still says he busy [20:29] could anybody help me with config dns on kubuntu 8.10? [20:29] dwidmann: ah. thanks [20:30] ahhh... in the words of Al Pacino, "I'm in the darkness!" [20:31] who could help with configuring dns? [20:31] gribs: are you using bind? [20:32] no, ithink that it isn't hard question. this about dns on my desktop === itewsh is now known as itouch [20:33] gribs: maybe try asking your question [20:33] hey guys...apparently KDE 4.1.3 is being made ready for intrepid-backports...yet, when I run kwin --version it says I already have it? [20:33] I haven't received any updates to Kubuntu, so what's the deal? [20:34] there are server in my netvork with ip 192.168.169.1, and i wont to acces it by name, for example "server" from browser. What and where i must write for it? [20:34] apt-cache policy kde-window-manager should tell the truth [20:34] gribs: the easiest way is to add it to /etc/hosts [20:35] what will this string look? [20:35] gribs: I'm assuming you are on the same network. === rien is now known as rien-ne-va-plus [20:35] yes, of course. i can ping it [20:35] JontheEchidna: yup, how can I check my version of KDE 4 via CL? [20:36] apt-cache policy kde-window-manager [20:36] gribs: look at /etc/hosts, and follow the pattern there, typically it's just (for example 192.168.169.1 someserver) [20:36] gribs: then you should be able to contact someserver without having to use the ip address [20:37] JontheEchidna: ah, okay...no other way than that? How far along is KDE 4.1.3...is it almost done building? [20:37] isaacj87: what do you mean no other way? [20:37] just run the command and it will tell you what version kwin is at really [20:38] JontheEchidna: I mean, is there no other way to check my version of KDE 4.1.x. Like kde4base --version or something [20:38] oh, you could look in the about dialog of any KDE app, but apt will be more reliable [20:38] 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] wolfjb, thanks, it's work! [20:39] howdy.. i got some pictures, which originally had a german 'ü' in their filename.. since quite some time now i can't access them.. can't watch, can't copy, can't do nothing.. when i want to do something with them, i get a message that they don't even exist [20:39] so.. how to recover those? [20:39] gribs: welcome [20:39] JontheEchidna: Hmm...yeah, I guess so. I just checked in Konsole and it says I'm at KDE 4.1.3 :S [20:42] hey guys! i'm having trouble with some icons since the upgrade to 8.10 [20:42] some are correct, some are missing, some are mixed up [20:43] is this a known issue? how can i fox it? [20:43] *fix === alxju is now known as alxj === flotmann is now known as Nemla [20:46] are there kde 4.1.3 packages for kubuntu available? [20:47] sourcemaker: apparently they're being built right now [20:47] sourcemaker: they'll be in intrepid-backports [20:47] here is a screenshot. clearly some icons missing and some (kmenu, trash) are mixed up [20:47] http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=wrong_icons79bs.png [20:47] isaacj87: cool... [20:49] !mount [20:49] 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 [20:49] !iso [20:49] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:51] Hi. I have been trying to mount an .ISO file for some while. I want to mount an .ISO file without burning. Just so i can see the movie [20:51] mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso mount/point [20:52] what do you mean by mount point? [20:52] whereever you want the mounted ISO to be mounted [20:53] cd ~/tmp && mkdir video_cd; mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso video_cd [20:53] FrauHansen: that's odd, all my icons work fine here [20:53] assumes a ~/tmp directory off your home directory [20:53] FrauHansen: are you using a custom icon theme? Which one? [20:54] dstambou, no i don't. i used the oxygen icons before and after the upgrade [20:54] So I just installed a new realtek PCI gigabit ethernet card but have no idea how to make my computer recognize it. the only thing that show's up under lspci | grep Ethernet is the broken PCI-e (Marvell 88E8056) [20:54] FrauHansen: try switching to another. See if it works, switch back. If not, look for an oxygen package [20:54] rickest: i tried sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/storage/marc/Movies/De Andres Liv/DeAndresLiv.iso /media/storage/marc/Movies/De Andres Liv/ [20:54] kde-icons-oxygen - Oxygen icon theme for KDE 4 installed? [20:54] but then a loong list of options came [20:54] dstambou, i will try that [20:55] noobstyle: first, you need to quote or ESC those file/dirnames with spaces in them [20:55] dstambou, yes: ii kde-icons-oxygen [20:55] noobstyle: 2nd, does the directory 'De Andres Liv/' already exist? [20:56] yes because it is the folder that contains the file [20:56] noobstyle: mount to an empty directory [20:56] i just tried to [20:56] i made a subfolder called /iso/ still i get a looong list [20:57] sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /media/storage/marc/Movies/De Andres Liv/DeAndresLiv.iso /media/storage/marc/Movies/De Andres Liv/iso/ [20:57] if i type that i get a looooooong list of options [20:57] noobstyle: did you read my 'first:' [20:57] ? [20:57] [13:55:23] rickest | noobstyle: first, you need to quote or ESC those file/dirnames with spaces in them [20:57] does kde 4.1.3 solves the nvidia problem? [20:57] rickest: i dont understand? [20:58] this filename.ext must be expressed as "this filename.ext" or this\ filename.ext [20:58] hmm ok [20:58] noobstyle: paths, files, or directories with spaces in their names must be quoted "like this" or escaped like\ this [20:59] sourcemaker: i read a comment from a user somewhere that he had better luck with nvidia and kde 4.1.3 [20:59] like thi [20:59] sourcemaker: at least with kwin [20:59] 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] still does not work [20:59] isaacj87: great [20:59] noobstyle: why do you insist on ignoring what I'm saying about spaces? [20:59] can you make the line then pls? [21:00] isaacj87: will the packages for kubuntu ready tommorow? [21:00] no, work it [21:00] well i made spaces all over [21:00] i don't know what you want me to do then [21:00] noobstyle: and in doing so exacerbated the problem. READ MY ANSWER, I've told you like 4 times [21:00] including examples [21:01] anyone help me setting up a new ethernet card on Hardy? [21:01] well im not the best english speaker and i do not understand what you wrote [21:02] [13:58:36] rickest | noobstyle: paths, files, or directories with spaces in their names must be quoted "like this" or escaped like\ this [21:02] I assume you know what "like this" means [21:02] sourcemaker: maybe even by tonight [21:02] hmm :D? [21:03] Hi ! [21:03] sourcemaker: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 [21:03] What is the command to format my HDD ? [21:03] please :D [21:05] is there anybody out there ? [21:07] anyone know if kde 4.1.3 is coming to hardy backports ? [21:08] anish_: it's a bugfix release so hardy main should get it soon. [21:08] cool [21:09] denis__: If it's sdb1 for instance, then: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 [21:10] you mean backports right ? [21:10] ardchoille: except that the major version in hardy is 4.0 [21:10] zigackly [21:10] ibex is so cool!! [21:10] so a jump to 4.1.3 would be a feature-release jump plus a bugfix release jump [21:10] and in other words, not going to happen [21:11] thank you genii ^ [21:11] again ;) [21:11] JontheEchidna: I've heard devs who disagree withyou [21:12] hi, someone is saying me that i may have a conflict in several qt installations ; how can i clean them up with apt-get ? [21:12] hmm, I didn't hear anything about hardy-backports [21:12] denis__: np [21:12] intrepid-backports yes, but not hardy-backports [21:13] JontheEchidna: Ah, you're right. Hardy won't see it but Intrepid will. sorry, got confused with the names. [21:13] ;-) [21:13] anish_: Hardy will not see the update, but Intrepid will [21:14] Too early in the morning here [21:15] not even here ? http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu/ [21:18] JontheEchidna: I was thinking, since Hardy was a remix, would Hardy see that update? [21:18] kde4 is in the Hardy repos [21:19] nope [21:19] oh well. [21:19] it still uses official ubuntu repos so we have to follow the rules for it [21:19] Maybe this update will allow me to install and use Intrepid now [21:20] eh, if you didn't like it before I doubt 4.1.3 will change anything [21:20] we had most of the interesting crash fixes in our 4.1.2 packages anyway [21:21] I'm having serious networking problems. I put the new PCI card in the computer but linux doesn't see it [21:21] JontheEchidna: That's good to know [21:22] I've got a performance problem with ATI HD2600 mobile, fglrx driver and KDE3.. for example, when i minimize windows, it seems very laggy.. fglrxinfo replies the right radeon chip, anyone with ideas? [21:24] JontheEchidna: Two crashes fixed in the Dolphin filemanager and several bugfixes in the Kopete. I may try intrepid again next week. [21:24] why isn't OOo 3 included in ubuntu 8.10 ?

[22:02] wolfjb: even with recompiled drivers [22:02] a regular update =) [22:02] Alex135: I picked this laptop because the drivers were well supported, at least they were under hardy [22:02] pascal: open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:03] Alex135: I assumed they would continue to be well supported in intrepid too [22:03] wolfjb: yes, the problem is that intrepid isn't quite perfect yet [22:03] wolfjb: KDE4's netowrk manager needs work [22:03] wow it works :o thx :DD [22:03] yw [22:03] How can I stop Kubuntu from turning off after minutes of inactivity? The laptop is plugged in, Intrepid. [22:04] wolfjb: i would go back to hardy, as it is better in performance and in compatability [22:04] wolfjb: i can care less about the desktop effects it offers [22:04] wolfjb:even though they are nice, they arn't essential, while compatability is [22:04] ardchoille: ok now i'm getting something different [22:04] Alex135: yeah, and I have an nvidia card, so that was an issue during the beta [22:05] Alex135: I usually turn that stuff off anyway. [22:05] ardchoille tells me that the server doesn't support plain id method [22:05] 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] ryanakca: you probably have guidance running, there should be an icon for it in the panel [22:05] wolfjb: i would stay with hardy for now, wait till the next ubuntu release or kde4.2 === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [22:06] dwidmann: I set it not to do anything after any inactivity [22:06] Alex135: may have to do that. that sucks. the point is that each ubuntu release is stable and it all works, not that it is released partially broken [22:06] quentin: go into the smtp setup and click the button that says "Check what the server supports" in Accounts > Sending > modify > security tab [22:07] Alex135: that would be the MS trick [22:07] ryanakca: you just did now, or you did previously and the setting didn't take? [22:07] dwidmann: previously... [22:07] wolfjb: another option is to try and find a way to recompile the drivers under intrepid and see if that works first [22:07] ryanakca: hmm, I wonder if it's a known issue, I' [22:08] ** I'll look and see [22:08] Alex135: good idea, I'll try that too [22:08] quentin: I just did that and it tells me that the plain method is the only things the server supports [22:08] ardchoille that's what I've done. It selects TLS encryption and PLAIN method [22:08] wolfjb: i am waiting to be able to do a bios upgrade on my Toshiba Satelite A135-S4666 and im not sure if it will screw things up or not... i have never had to do an upgrade since 2 yhears ago when i got it [22:08] I need help! my new networking card came with an installation cd but I cam [22:08] dwidmann: thanks [22:09] ardchoille yep, but it refuses to connect complaining about the plain method... [22:09] I need help! my new networking card came with an installation cd but I can't get the drivers to install I can't even see the new hardware PLEASE HELP [22:09] oooo [22:09] quentin: pop does not support the plain method, do you have plain in pop config? [22:10] memeemeee: 1st, if its an insatll cd it has drivers for WINDOWS! linux and windows dont work together, second, your card should be supported, what kind is it [22:11] ardchoille I'm not using pop. Using imap but yes that's plain that it's using... [22:11] ryanakca: I'm assuming you're running 8.10? [22:11] Is there a widget to monitor bandwidth? [22:11] ardchoille weird... [22:12] draik: gkrellm? [22:12] quentin: I've enver done IMAP so I don't know how to help with that [22:13] ardchoille imap is just for receiving messages, the smtp part is totally (I guess) independant [22:13] Alex135: bios upgrades scare me [22:13] hi [22:13] wolfjb:heh, ya, however it seems as it shoudln't screw around too much with what i have so hopefully it will be fine [22:14] wolfjb: what is worse is its a "vista only" laptop [22:14] how can I rename the "volumes" in dolphin? === cathy is now known as dennister === dennister is now known as _dennister [22:14] wolfjb: the bios limit some things in linux and it could get interesting... [22:14] Alex135: I have a Dell Precision M6300, I'm pretty happy with it, but I haven't looked at the bios a lot [22:15] quentin: weird [22:15] ryanakca: ? [22:15] quentin: Perhaps ask in #kde ? [22:15] wolfjb: i JUST loooked up the bios and it turns out an upgrade came out this year so i know i have an older version, look up the stats for the Toshiba Satellite A135-S4666 [22:15] ardchoille ok, will do that. Thanks for helping! [22:16] wolfjb: i got it for $415 USD and its an amazing laptop [22:16] dwidmann: back, sorry, yes, 8.10 [22:16] quentin: fwiw, did you try both ports 465 or 587 for smtp? [22:17] Alex135: that's amazing! mine was close to $3k [22:17] Is there any benifit to using the 64-bit version of Kubuntu if my proc supports it? [22:17] Alex135, actually there is a linux driver on the cd it's a Rosewill RC 400-LX (Realtek) [22:17] wolfjb: the only downside on mine is the video card, its an intel media accelerator [22:17] memeemeee: no clue, sorry [22:18] Alex135: well, if you aren't gaming, it probably doesn't matter too much [22:18] memeemeee: or, what hapens when you try to install the driver [22:18] I get [Module] error 2 [22:18] SJrX: mine got a bit faster [22:18] wolfjb: ya, but a bit of gameing is nice once in a while, a computer geek has to have a bit of fun when he fries his brain on something dificult all day :P [22:19] Alex135: no doubt [22:19] Alex135: I play openarena quite a bit [22:19] <_dennister> hi again, still looking for some basic networking help with new intrepid installation [22:19] Alex135: maybe someday I'll actually be good at it! :) [22:20] <_dennister> dhcp was working at first, now i can't even ping the modem/router [22:20] wolfjb: other window [22:21] ryanakca: this could potentially be related but it's hard to say https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guidance-power-manager/+bug/290854 [22:23] dwidmann: thanks [22:23] ryanakca: don't really know of a solution though [22:23] ryanakca: short of not using guidnce [22:24] dwidmann: *nod*, thanks === leonardo_ is now known as leonardolima [22:28] <_dennister> hi again, still looking for some basic networking help with new intrepid installation [22:28] hi there [22:29] <_dennister> anyone available?

[22:53] vadrao: I think that is not possible.. I haven't found it neighter. [22:54] So, is it that the Knetworkmanager (the latest version) is not capable of doing it ? [22:55] ptl: tnx. hci0 == bluetooth? in kde4 i can manage my bluetooth device through gui ?

[23:09] how can I do that.. sorry I'm a newbie === constanza is now known as Lucida [23:10] Here is an interesting point. Help/About KDE in Konversation shows KDE version at 3.5.10, yet Help/About KDE in Konqueror shows 4.1.3 [23:10] leonardo_: open a terminal and run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:10] it's working [23:10] leonardo_: then restart kde and see if the problem still exists [23:11] u mean restart the system or just de x server? [23:11] Foodcoman: there isn't any Konversation for KDE4, it is pre-alpha. [23:11] I am looking to install kde4... is kde4-core the one to use to install the main components of kde? [23:11] hello [23:11] Foodcoman: the reason for that is not all apps have been proted to kde4 yet [23:12] *ported [23:12] KDesk: Gotcha. I just thought they did a system call or something to get the version. [23:12] tacosarecool: Howdy [23:12] u mean restart the system or just de x server? [23:12] leonardo_: after the updates complete, log out and back in [23:13] Kdesk: Anxiously excited about 4.2, hopefully it will add grouping tasks on the taskbar. [23:13] ok.. do u think it could be the browser? how can I get firefox here? [23:13] Foodcoman: grouping has been added for KDE 4.2 [23:13] you can even group manually. I've never seen any desktop let you do that [23:13] leonardo_: it could be a number of things, but those maybe fixed with an update, it's good to run current versions [23:14] Foodcoman: I am also looking forward KDE 4.2 :) [23:14] when i try to install the driver I get http://pastebin.com/m54ead522 [23:14] leonardo_: you can install firefox with: sudo apt-get install firefox [23:14] leonardo_: but wait and see if konq works [23:15] I don't know why, but everything is sending my processor into 100% usage [23:16] ok.. [23:16] jtechidna: 3.5.xxx had an option to group similar tasks ont he taskbar that I used. That way all firefoxes where together when you had multiple windows. [23:17] I think that is the common grouping way [23:17] jtechidna: Missed your post, Great its in 4.2... Wooop. [23:17] :) [23:17] wow... kdebase-kde4 is a mess...I get all types of unmet dependencies... I thought that was the purpose of apt-get install to simplify these issues... [23:18] greengoby: in intrepid? [23:19] jtechidna: Nope just from command line... [23:19] LOL [23:19] I mean, what version of (K)Ubuntu are you using? [23:19] greengoby: are you running Kubuntu intrepid or Hardy or what? [23:20] wow, the packages I just updated today have a new version already [23:20] let's do a full-upgrade then! [23:20] Intrepid = 8.10 Hardy = 8.04 right? [23:20] yes [23:20] ardchoille: 8.04 LTS...not Kubuntu... I came and asked for the correct package name to install from command line... [23:20] no new versions :( [23:21] greengoby: so you want kde4 on Hardy? [23:21] Indeed... [23:21] Ubuntu base install adding KDE.

Someone said its related in part to the newer X. [23:25] I know but is this the kernel or canonical? [23:26] tacosarecool: Im uncertain. Just what someone else smarter than I said when I asked. LOL.. [23:28] I just hope ubuntu isn't a new vista [23:28] Open source atleast [23:28] I'm glad it's open source [23:29] I just tried to make a new partition, gparted gave me an error "Syncing device. FAILED" - now the device isn't even showing up in the device list! Any help? [23:29] KDE 4 is bigger, price for the the fancy bling....... However most newer machines do great with it. My laptop is not slow at all with it. [23:30] At first I didn't like KDE4 now I do [23:30] I think they could optimize a little more though [23:31] Foodcoman: I find KDE4 actually better with resources than KDE3 if you disable all the fancy 'effects' [23:32] tacosarecool: Polish will come as it matures. [23:32] why is lilo installed and not grub? [23:32] npresta: I have not turned off anything yet. Still flying on this machine. [23:33] Foodcoman: for sure. Newer machines won't have any problem with KDE4 just as they didn't have any problems with KDE3. :) [23:33] However they stole something from mac [23:33] Lol [23:33] tacosarecool: how so? === mits is now known as mitsarionas [23:33] I don't care that they stole something from mac [23:33] You know that [23:33] Trick [23:33] With where you can select windows [23:33] It's like squares [23:33] tacosarecool: expose?

[23:35] how do I upgrade from 8.04 to 810? Adept_updater doesn't tell, that there is a new release available, like it did on 7.10. [23:35] In all honesty, I'm glad there is competition and 'borrowing' of useful features. It makes things better and competition only drives innovation.

[23:37] npresta: Complete argeement. If its good, its good who ever came up with it. [23:38] mitsarionas: maybe knet? [23:38] mitsarionas: http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/knet [23:38] mitsarionas: check your repose that are enabled. I show it.

[23:40] mitsarionas: I can't check. Is there a reason it has to be installed by default? I thought kppp was there by default [23:40] on intrepid it isn't! that's what surprised me... [23:40] mitsarionas: No its not. go to the package manager and configure your repositories to add the other stuff. Should show up after that.

I should be heading out. Later all [23:42] l8r npresta [23:42] me too. [23:42] How can I change the defaul apps size every time I start them? [23:43] i know how to apt-get :) ...it's just that it struck me as weird not having a ppp dialer installed by default... [23:44] anyone good with gparted errors???

[23:47] estan: the text inside the notes can be found in ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc [23:47] jtechidna: ah thanks.. i see it now.. is there a way to re-enable them? [23:48] hi, I was wondering if there was a reason why Open Office didn't upgrade from 2.4 to 3.0 when it upgraded? [23:48] you could copy the whole file to ~/.kde/share/config/ [23:48] bdizzle: Intrepid doesn't have openoffice 3.0 [23:49] jtechidna: ah so that's what happened, hardy -> intrepid went from ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde.. [23:50] yup [23:50] strange [23:50] i'll just re-create them and copy over the text.. have to re-format it a bit. thanks. [23:50] erm... where can I find kubuntu's power management settings? [23:50] Hello everyone. Now that I'm in KDE 4.1 I can't use a menubar like that used in Mac. So I need to change the menus to the normal looking ones like in Windows. However, I can't figure out how to do this. Any ideas? === paul is now known as werenerd [23:51] Oh ertain [23:51] hey all, anyone here have experience with Subsonic?

Can I do something like this: Install Kubuntu by using Wubi, and then from the level of that Wubi Kubuntu install a standard Kubuntu to a new partition?
