| missyjane | hi whats the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| ubuntu_ | missyjane: KDE and Gnome ;) | 00:08 |
| dig | missyjane: I guess they use the same kernel, but they present in their own ways | 00:08 |
| ubuntu_ | missyjane: If you worked till yet with windows, i would use ubuntu first. | 00:09 |
| ubuntu_ | After that use kubuntu. | 00:09 |

| dwidmann__ | opiemsith1: sounds like a bug | 00:36 |
| opiemsith1 | yeah | 00:36 |
| opiemsith1 | can it be fixed? | 00:37 |
| dwidmann__ | I'll see if I can find an existing bug report for it for you | 00:37 |
| opiemsith1 | thanks | 00:37 |

| CarolinaSwamp | after upgrading to 8.10 my nvidia drivers seem to be shot. xorg wont boot...if i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then my keyboard doesnt work and i cant login. any suggestions? | 01:08 |
| dwidmann__ | CarolinaSwamp: try running "nvidia-xconfig" | 01:09 |
| === dwidmann__ is now known as dwidmann | ||
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: i did that, when it boots into kde it says that the nvidia module is not found | 01:10 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: do i need to install a new nvidia-glx driver? | 01:10 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: maybe ... try "nvidia-glx-177" | 01:10 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: how can i tell which driver is for me? | 01:11 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: if it's an even halfway recent card (read as geforce4 or later), try nvidia-glx-177 | 01:11 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: its on my laptop that i bought last year, a Nvidia GeForce 6150 Go | 01:12 |
| dwidmann | yeah, it should be fine | 01:13 |
| dwidmann | Looks like -177 dropped support for GeForce 4 and 5 | 01:13 |
| dwidmann | maybe sooner, like at -173 | 01:14 |
| corinth | When is KDE 4.2 due out? | 01:16 |
| CarolinaSwamp | yea 177 didnt work | 01:16 |
| CarolinaSwamp | trying 173 | 01:16 |
| corinth | And, does anyone have a guess at when there will be 4.1.3 packages for Ibex? | 01:16 |
| dwidmann | corinth: last I heard it was supposed to be out in late January | 01:16 |
| dwidmann | corinth: they're in backports already | 01:16 |
| corinth | dwidmann: Where to I get the backports repos? | 01:17 |
| dwidmann | corinth: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ubuntu-backports main restricted universe multiverse | 01:17 |

| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: with the generic configuration it boots into the login screen but my keyboard is not recognized! i cant type anything. the touchpad mouse works fine though. | 01:20 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: take it that -173 didn't work either? | 01:20 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: what about -96? | 01:21 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: im booted into KDE, at the login screen with no driver errors | 01:21 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: now the problme is back to the original...my keybaord is not being recognized | 01:21 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: hmm, maybe if we specify the keyboard in xorg.conf it will work okay | 01:21 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: yes i bet you are right...nothing is listed there | 01:22 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: Okay, switch to a console with "ctrl + alt + f1" | 01:22 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: im there, and im in the xorg.conf file | 01:22 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: then, "cd /dev/input/by-id", | 01:23 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: all i have is by-path | 01:23 |

| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: k, i have event-kbd, event-mouse, and mouse listed | 01:24 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: the names are longer than that, i just wrote the end of them | 01:25 |
| dwidmann | I think you want event-kbd, you'll need the full path | 01:25 |
| CarolinaSwamp | k | 01:26 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: Okay, I just pm'd you what the keyboard section should probably look like. | 01:27 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: alter the path line to fit | 01:27 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: got it, thanks. rebooting now we will see what happens =) | 01:29 |
| dwidmann | jack_: powertop should throw you suggestions every ten seconds or so, it'll tell you something like "press O" to blah or whatnot, just do a few of those and watch it drop. | 01:30 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: i ended up having to use the generic keyboard w/ the kbd driver but its working finally...thanks for your help | 01:35 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp:mm, so long as it's working ... though it's odd that evdev wouldn't work ... did you have the path right? | 01:36 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: i thought I did but i didnt double check, i could have made a typo | 01:38 |
| dwidmann | CarolinaSwamp: if it's not broken don't fix it though eh? | 01:39 |
| CarolinaSwamp | dwidmann: absolutely =) thanks for the help again | 01:39 |

| FrozenFire | Hi all, I'm having an issue with FireFox, nearly identical to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/240632 . I installed from the most recent version of Intrepid install CD, and I receive 15-20 crashes per hour in FireFox. I have reinstalled Intrepid and immediately upgraded, then installed FireFox and kubuntu-restricted-extras. When debugging FireFox with "firefox -g" I received a "Program received sign | 02:13 |

This error seems to happen primarily when viewing flash videos, but not always. Occasionally it happens within 30 seconds of a fresh session. As well, it doesn't always happen upon page load. Sometimes it happens minutes later, or arbitrarily when I walk away from the computer. | 02:13 |
| ethana21 | aaaand they're all DVDs | 02:13 |

| FrozenFire | This is definitely a Kubuntu issue, as the crashes affect X and occasionally lock up the entire system. | 02:17 |

| legodude_ | (II) NVIDIA(GPU-1): No display devices connected; falling back to: CRT-0 | 02:38 |

| legodude_ | it does not reflect any DFP monitor though | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | Some of the Changes to X in 8.10 - are really messing with the auto-dtecttion of nvidia hardware from what ive seen | 02:42 |
| legodude_ | it seems to me that regardless, monitors should be showing up in the Xorg log | 02:43 |
| legodude_ | yeah, I had a series of problems until I pulled a new set of updates... | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis | On this box. I just had to install the nvidia drivers and reboot.. on laptop - i had to run nvidia-settings and then it took off.. | 02:43 |

| legodude_ | isaacj87: I've got no clue, but why are you doing that? | 02:54 |
| isaacj87 | legodude_: I want to run the bleeding edge version of KDE 4. I tried the nightly packages and I'm hooked. | 02:55 |

| legodude_ | committed | 02:55 |
| legodude_ | are the changes that noticible? | 02:55 |
| legodude_ | noticeable | 02:55 |
| isaacj87 | legodude_: Most definitely, KDE 4.2 is going to be a stellar release. KWin is smooth as hell. Plasma has these new fantastic features and everything is so much more polished. | 02:56 |
| legodude_ | wow | 02:56 |

| legodude_ | and the nightlies aren't updated enough? | 02:56 |

| isaacj87 | Dr_willis: Most definitely. | 02:57 |
| legodude_ | you using kubuntu nightlies? | 02:58 |
| legodude_ | or kde package? | 02:58 |
| isaacj87 | Whereas KDE 4.1 is fairly stable. It feels a bit hindered and clunky. I didn't get that from the nightly packages. | 02:58 |

| legodude_ | how does using some other kde build affect one's ability to upgrade to the next kubuntu release? | 03:00 |

| legodude_ | sorry | 03:02 |
| legodude_ | where did you get the 4.1 packages from? | 03:02 |
| legodude_ | for 8.04 | 03:02 |
| QContinueum | i don't recall exactly... there was a link here on IRC when 4.1 came out that had instructions | 03:02 |
| legodude_ | ah | 03:02 |
| isaacj87 | legodude_: They could be in the backports repo | 03:03 |
| legodude_ | gotcha | 03:03 |
| isaacj87 | legodude_: that's where I got KDE 4.1.3 for Intrepid | 03:03 |
| isaacj87 | legodude_: If you're still running KDE 4.0, you'll see a definite improvement when upgrading to 4.1 | 03:04 |
| legodude_ | I'm running 4.1 | 03:04 |
| legodude_ | I have my quibbles | 03:05 |

| genii-around | or #netbeans | 03:10 |
| dwidmann_ | That or a java-centric forum | 03:10 |

| umangshu | netbeans 5.0 | 03:11 |

| Ajuna | Is there to change the engine for amarok or an alternative I can install? | 03:12 |
| Ajuna | xine is getting me clicking and popping noises between gapless songs | 03:12 |
| QContinueum | umangshu: kde4 and compiz fusion don't play nice together... the window magic stuff is built into kde4 now | 03:13 |
| isaacj87 | QContinueum: That's not exactly true. CF can run just fine on KDE 4, but using KWin is a lot easier | 03:13 |
| QContinueum | perhaps not exactly true, but when i was running kde4 under 8.04, i had a ton of wierd conflicts between the two | 03:14 |
| QContinueum | the solution was to remove CF and let kde4 do its thing | 03:14 |
| isaacj87 | QContinueum: Odd. What kind of conflicts were happening? | 03:15 |
| umangshu | i am not able to change my desktop setting i gives an error message | 03:15 |
| QContinueum | i don't remember much exactly, but i do recall that screen resolutions and refresh rates were really messy... choosing 640x480 or so with ~40Hz refresh rate after every boot | 03:16 |
| QContinueum | glad that that is all behind me now | 03:16 |
| umangshu | whats up | 03:18 |
| isaacj87 | Tm_T: Hey, you here? | 03:18 |
| legodude_ | umangshu: you really need to provide much more context | 03:18 |
| legodude_ | any context really | 03:18 |
| QContinueum | umangshu: you need to be more specific than "an error message" | 03:18 |
| umangshu | i think that problem is occured by restricted driver | 03:19 |

| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 03:56 |
| hack | its free cause it's sponserd is what a friend told me | 03:56 |
| _2 | warez can be found at 127.0.0.1 | 03:57 |
| dwidmann_ | It would probably take some sort of sponsorship to keep such a (likely) high bandwidth site online | 03:57 |
| QContinueum | indeed | 03:57 |
| hack | i am sry i wasn't tryin to promote piracy if that is what that site is but i was told it was legit cause of sponsoring | 03:58 |
| ptl | sharing things you like is not morally questionable | 03:59 |
| _2 | we're all sorry you weren't trying too... dog gone it, some body needs too. but just not on freenode, and not in front of agent bob | 03:59 |
| genii-around | It depends if what you like is deviant :) | 03:59 |
| genii-around | But since at this time "Quantum of Solace" for instance is still in theaters, any site streaming it for free is highly dubous as legit | 04:00 |
| hack | they have all the movies before theaters and their really clean copies like theater quality though i mean they don't have ppl walkin in front of the screen or nothin | 04:01 |

| QContinueum | karan: gtalk uses the jabber protocol, many IM clients support jabber including Kopete and Pidgin | 04:29 |
| karan | its not in kopete | 04:29 |
| karan | i checked that out | 04:29 |
| QContinueum | karan: i'm using it right now | 04:29 |
| QContinueum | it's Jabber, not gtalk | 04:30 |

| _2 | !gtalk | karan | 04:30 |
| ubottu | karan: gtalk is an instant messaging program from Google.

| binMonkey | hi, guys. | 04:32 |
| QContinueum | hi | 04:32 |
| _2 | i shouldn't punish people like that. they never notice it. | 04:33 |
| binMonkey | is it possible to chmod /dev/console? | 04:33 |
| _2 | binMonkey sure | 04:33 |
| QContinueum | _2: i've only been using kubuntu full time for about a year, i try to help out when i can... which isn't as often as i like | 04:33 |
| _2 | binMonkey only superuser can do it but it's a simple thing | 04:33 |
| binMonkey | i've tried chmod 777 /dev/console and chmod a+w /dev/console and neither works. | 04:34 |
| QContinueum | did you do it with sudo? | 04:34 |
| binMonkey | yes. | 04:34 |
| QContinueum | huh | 04:34 |
| _2 | binMonkey cause you aren't superuser. or it's a symlink if symlink you have to affect the target. | 04:34 |
| binMonkey | ahhhhh. hold on. | 04:34 |
| draik | Is there an method for sharing a folder publicly? | 04:35 |
| _2 | all symlinks are 777 | 04:35 |
| dig | hmm.. how do I reinstall firefox? | 04:35 |
| _2 | draik how public ? http ? | 04:35 |
| QContinueum | samba? | 04:35 |
| _2 | dig sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox | 04:36 |
| draik | _2: Yes. I had it with my own IP in 8.04. I want to keep it similar. | 04:36 |
| SimplySeth | anyone know where to edit the menu in 8.10 ? | 04:36 |
| karan | when i use jabber in kopete for gtalk its stuck at connecting | 04:36 |
| binMonkey | but clean apt before reinstalling | 04:36 |
| binMonkey | my /dev/console is not an so. no matter what i do i can't change permissions. | 04:37 |
| _2 | draik apache and cherokee are web servers that you can install from the package manager. lamp is an acronymn and an infonode about it. | 04:37 |
| QContinueum | karan: it's probably a configuration error on your end... go over the instructions again and make sure that everything is okay | 04:37 |
| _2 | !lamp | draik | 04:37 |
| ubottu | draik: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 04:37 |
| _2 | binMonkey show me ls -l /dev/console | 04:38 |
| draik | _2: That's just it. I just want a folder to be made available online through my IP and a port. I had it setup as http://123.234.345.456:8001/ | 04:38 |
| _2 | draik ok nfs then | 04:38 |
| _2 | !nfs | 04:39 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 04:39 |
| _2 | draik i'm slow but it you keep asking i'll finally get it. | 04:39 |
| binMonkey | _2: ok. ls -l shows all permissions granted but when i try to run the program no sound works. | 04:39 |
| _2 | binMonkey no. show me what ls showed you | 04:39 |
| draik | _2: All that matters is that I got the answer. Thank you so much. You've always been quite helpful. | 04:39 |
| _2 | draik selcome. | 04:40 |
| _2 | w | 04:40 |
| binMonkey | _2: crwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 5 | 04:40 |
| _2 | that's not all .......... | 04:40 |
| binMonkey | _2: sorry i forgot that part. | 04:40 |
| SimplySeth | hmmm kmenuedit doesn't let me edit the "start" menu | 04:41 |
| draik | _2: Sleepy? BTW, can nfs allow outsiders to access my files? I need it to share a folder to the public as it holds files for the many people requesting something from me. | 04:41 |
| _2 | yes that's what nfs is for draik and samba for windows | 04:41 |
| binMonkey | _2: c rwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout 5, 1 2008-11-12 18:55 /dev/console | 04:42 |
| _2 | !samba | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 04:42 |
| _2 | binMonkey ok and your issue is what exactly (and don't start in about the permissions on /dev/console cause it's as permiscuous as it can be) ? | 04:43 |
| _2 | binMonkey "no sound" /dev/console should never affect sound. that's /dev/dsp or something in /dev/snd/ | 04:44 |
| binMonkey | i'm trying to run a morse code program. i had to run it as su before i changed permissions. now with permissions open no sound works. | 04:44 |
| binMonkey | _2: sorry. the program told me i had no access to /dev/console and i had to run as su. | 04:45 |
| _2 | binMonkey well you now have plenty of access. but still that's not why you have no sound. look at /dev/dsp ls - l it | 04:45 |
| binMonkey | i just chmod dsp and it's all open. but still no sound. for fun i chmod 777 dsp1 and dsp2 also. no luck. | 04:48 |
| _2 | binMonkey does it work as su now ? | 04:48 |
| _2 | binMonkey diagnostic question only | 04:49 |
| binMonkey | _2: yes. i just hate using sudo. | 04:49 |
| binMonkey | _2: it doesn't seem right. | 04:49 |
| binMonkey | _2: the program is kochmorse, if it helps. | 04:49 |
| _2 | binMonkey then look in /dev/snd/ it may be sending through arts/esd/pulse ... | 04:50 |
| binMonkey | _2: i looked for snd when you mentioned it earlier. there is no snd in my /dev. | 04:50 |
| _2 | ? | 04:51 |
| _2 | /dev/sound/ ? | 04:51 |
| _2 | i'm still using dapper it may have changed ... | 04:51 |
| dig | I was reading the man page and have no idea sudo install --reinstall firefox (install needs to flollow --reinstall) | 04:51 |
| binMonkey | _2: nope. there's an so called sndstat. should i try that? | 04:52 |
| _2 | dig ? i use it both ways | 04:52 |
| dwidmann | _2: it's still /dev/snd/ | 04:52 |
| _2 | binMonkey you are sure there isn't a /dev/snd/ dir ? | 04:52 |
| dig | I found it hard to read. e.g. Don't know which option should go | 04:53 |
| binMonkey | _2: yes. i was looking for a file. i'm sorry. | 04:53 |
| _2 | dig location of switches shouldn't matter but order of commands do i.e. apt-get install firefox --reinstall ;apt-get install --reinstall firefox ;apt-get --reinstall install firefox # should all work just alike. | 04:54 |
| dig | when I read, I cannot find install is able to be followed by options | 04:55 |
| _2 | that's one reason i hate to see the developers moving away from dash dash | 04:55 |
| _2 | posix just works | 04:56 |
| _2 | errr posix --just --works | 04:56 |
| _2 | :) | 04:56 |
| binMonkey | _2: sorry to be an idiot. i just chmod 777 everything in /dev/snd dir and still no sound. | 04:58 |
| _2 | </blinks> | 04:59 |
| _2 | binMonkey sorry to have mislead then. </hides> | 04:59 |
| _2 | dig here read this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/15810 | 04:59 |
| _2 | dig more informative than the man page | 04:59 |
| binMonkey | _2: close hides? | 04:59 |
| * _2 can't answer cause he is hiding | 05:00 | |
| binMonkey | _2: i appreciate the help anyway. i guess i'll just use sudo for this one program. thanks for trying. | 05:00 |
| dig | thx, I just find the man page is not clear personally. | 05:00 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: you're right, that would mean _2 is back in the open :P | 05:00 |
| _2 | dig that happens some time. i've learned every thing i know about linux by the "try it and reformat" methood ;/ | 05:01 |
| * _2 breaks xml too. | 05:02 | |
| binMonkey | someday i won't be such an idiot. until then, i appreciate you guys. | 05:02 |
| _2 | binMonkey again. sorry that that didn't pan out. if you are interested. we can persue it farther ? | 05:03 |
| _2 | easier to cut losses maybe | 05:03 |
| binMonkey | _2: no. i guess it won't hurt to use sudo for this one program. i thought maybe i was missing something. | 05:04 |
| ptl | binMonkey: what are you trying to do? Just get sound? Do you know that you have to add your user (and root also) to the groups audio, pulse, pulse-access and pulse-rt ? | 05:04 |
| _2 | ok. well no changes in /dev will hold past a reboot anyway. | 05:04 |
| binMonkey | _2: if you want to learn morse code, though, this program is great! | 05:05 |
| _2 | binMonkey i'm busy trying to learn computer code but thanks | 05:05 |
| ptl | usermod -a -G audio,pulse,pulse-access,pulse-rt youruser | 05:05 |
| binMonkey | lol. no changes hold past reboot. that's good cause i was going to ask if i should change it all back. | 05:06 |
| dwidmann | ptl: that's strange, none of the pulse-* groups exist on my system. | 05:06 |
| _2 | binMonkey yeah i anticipated that. /dev/ is in ram except /dev/.static/dev which is the real device nodes on the hdd but only accessed at boot time really | 05:07 |
| binMonkey | audio, pulse, etc are groupls and not files? i don't understand. | 05:07 |
| ptl | dwidmann: aptitude install pulseaudio | 05:08 |
| ptl | it is worth it | 05:08 |
| ptl | pulseaudio is a very good addition to your system | 05:08 |
| _2 | binMonkey in ptl's command string all of "audio,pulse,pulse-access,pulse-rt" is a list of groups to add your user to | 05:08 |
| binMonkey | ptl: ok. i can always remove it. | 05:08 |
| ptl | !pulseaudio | 05:09 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 05:09 |
| binMonkey | ptl: i guess i already have it. | 05:09 |
| _2 | ptl has esd/pulse replaced arts ? | 05:09 |
| ptl | phonon replaced arts on KDE | 05:09 |
| dwidmann | _2: phonon replaced arts I thought | 05:09 |
| ptl | not exactly | 05:09 |
| ptl | and phonon has an option to output to pulseaudio | 05:10 |
| binMonkey | usermod -a -G audio, pulse, pulse-access, pulse-rt rich1 | 05:10 |
| ptl | arts is not the same as pulseaudio, arts is more than a sound server | 05:10 |
| binMonkey | lol. wrong screen. | 05:10 |
| _2 | binMonkey no spaces in the list | 05:10 |
| dwidmann | So what exactly is pulse and why would I want to go through the hassle of setting it up? | 05:10 |
| ptl | binMonkey: no spaces between the commas | 05:10 |
| _2 | binMonkey usermod -aG audio,pulse,pulse-access,pulse-rt rich1 | 05:11 |
| ptl | dwidmann: there are many different sound servers and frameworks for linux. Pulseaudio unites and integrates them, and completely replaces some of them (e.g. esd) | 05:11 |
| ptl | dwidmann: and pulseaudio is very friendly and easy to use. It comes with some gnome applets that work on KDE too. | 05:11 |
| dwidmann | ptl: and the purpose of q soundserver is? | 05:12 |
| _2 | binMonkey many things can accept a "comma seperated list" the fact that it is "comma seperated" means that it is not "space seperated" :) | 05:12 |
| ptl | dwidmann: I use it all the time, e.g. something called padevchooser, that allows me to change the volume independently of each application. I usually fire up mpg321 to play some mp3s and adjust its volume through padevchooser. | 05:12 |
| _2 | just an fyi / ffr | 05:12 |
| binMonkey | _2: i'm going to call you sensei. i just understood that. | 05:13 |
| ptl | dwidmann: two things: assure the playing/recording of sounds concurrently and also stream and route sound through the network | 05:13 |
| dwidmann | hmm, streaming and routing through the network sounds interesting, so would it be possible to get sound when i'm ssh'd into another computer? | 05:14 |
| * _2 grumbles and goes to google to see what he was just called... | 05:14 | |
| binMonkey | _2: now that i'm part of these groups do i have access to changing them? and how is that different from chmoding files? | 05:14 |
| _2 | binMonkey test your program again and see if it works for normal user | 05:15 |
| _2 | if not we can through rocks at ptl | 05:15 |
| ptl | :( | 05:16 |
| * binMonkey throws rocks at ptl. | 05:16 | |
| * ptl ducks. | 05:16 | |
| binMonkey | _2: no go, sensei. | 05:16 |
| _2 | lol ooops | 05:16 |
| _2 | binMonkey well that's two of us that swung and missed. third strick and you're out. | 05:17 |
| ptl | binMonkey: do you have any error message when you try to fire the application through the terminal? | 05:17 |
| PyroBoi | Where can i find apt-get repos for edgy? | 05:17 |
| _2 | PyroBoi ? edgy if still supported for another few months and then they will move them to "old unsupported" | 05:18 |
| _2 | !edgy | 05:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. | 05:18 |
| binMonkey | ptl: no. i got an error for regular user something like "you do not have access to /dev/console" before i chmod /dev/console. | 05:18 |
| _2 | oh sorry | 05:18 |
| _2 | in old unsupported | 05:18 |
| ptl | /dev/console ???? | 05:18 |
| ptl | crw------- 1 root dialout 5, 1 2008-11-13 00:12 /dev/console | 05:19 |
| binMonkey | ptl: now after chmod i can run as regular user but no sound. | 05:19 |
| PyroBoi | _2: how do i set them to that dir | 05:19 |
| ptl | PyroBoi: upgrade to ibex! | 05:19 |
| _2 | PyroBoi i think there is a page on the ubuntu.com i'll have to look | 05:19 |
| binMonkey | ptl: yes. but now mine is crwxrwxrwx, etc | 05:19 |
| PyroBoi | or is their a ez way to upgrade? | 05:20 |
| ptl | binMonkey: something seems very wrong with your installation! Do you have critical data on it? I hate to say it, but it might be wise to reinstall, since diagnosing every little file with wrong permissions would be too tiresome. | 05:20 |
| ptl | PyroBoi: yeah, update-manager | 05:20 |
| _2 | ptl you might suggest an LTS there may be a reason for "not having upgraded" | 05:20 |
| binMonkey | PyroBoi: i just saw an article about saving settings and apps with a clean install. i'll see if i can find it. | 05:20 |
| binMonkey | ptl | 05:21 |
| PyroBoi | binMonkey: this is a brand new install | 05:21 |
| ptl | _2: I thought about it, but kubuntu is a desktop distribution, it would make little sense | 05:21 |
| binMonkey | ptl: no critical data. i can always backup and reinstall. | 05:21 |
| _2 | ptl heh depends on perspective and bandwidth. to me anything that has to dl more than 6 meg per 6 months makes no sense. | 05:22 |
| ptl | binMonkey: but I can help you if you think it's fixable | 05:22 |
| binMonkey | ptl: i think it's a goofy thing in the program, though. | 05:22 |
| ptl | _2: ! | 05:22 |
| ptl | _2: do you use dialup? | 05:22 |
| _2 | yeah | 05:23 |
| ptl | _2: I live in a developing country and I have had Cable for several years now | 05:23 |
| ptl | before that, I had ADSL | 05:23 |
| binMonkey | dialup? really, sensei? | 05:23 |
| ptl | even on my cellphone I get 100kB/s or more | 05:23 |
| ptl | (3G) | 05:24 |
| _2 | i know a lot of people that wont use ubuntu because of the bandwidth needed. well some people. | 05:24 |
| PyroBoi | i can always d/l 8.10 | 05:24 |
| binMonkey | PyroBoi: it's extra worth it. | 05:24 |
| PyroBoi | ok, whats diff between kde 4 and 3 | 05:24 |
| _2 | PyroBoi from what i see in here 4 lots more eyecandy 3 lots more full featured | 05:25 |
| ptl | PyroBoi: KDE4 is a lot buggier, but a lot better also | 05:25 |
| binMonkey | i don't know the programming stuff, but i prefer kde3 for now. | 05:25 |
| _2 | PyroBoi oh and 4 lot less stable forgot that | 05:25 |
| binMonkey | kde3 feels better to me. | 05:26 |
| PyroBoi | oh then its 3 | 05:26 |
| ptl | PyroBoi: I loved it on Kubuntu, but I wouldn't recommend because it needs lots of small adjustments | 05:26 |
| tacosarecool | I used to not like kde4 but then I got used to it it is nice | 05:26 |
| binMonkey | and it's very disco fancy. | 05:26 |
| PyroBoi | well i think im going to go with 3 i can always upgrade later | 05:27 |
| tacosarecool | Yeah but now stickam don't act properly | 05:27 |
| binMonkey | kde4 is disco fancy. | 05:27 |
| tacosarecool | But I know it's not my webcam or flash | 05:27 |
| tacosarecool | because cartoonnetwork.com webcam games work fine | 05:27 |
| _2 | i moved away from kde some time ago. i think i started it one time in the last month | 05:27 |
| binMonkey | you can play games with a webcam? | 05:27 |
| tacosarecool | Yup | 05:28 |
| tacosarecool | Lol | 05:28 |
| PyroBoi | bout 2 hrs to d/l | 05:28 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: i'm going to check that out. | 05:28 |
| tacosarecool | Anyway binmonkey | 05:28 |
| tacosarecool | You have a stickam? | 05:29 |
| PyroBoi | _2: what you use? gnome? | 05:29 |
| tacosarecool | Can you see if it's working properly for you? | 05:29 |
| binMonkey | what's a stickam? | 05:29 |
| tacosarecool | It's a webcam site | 05:29 |
| PyroBoi | binMonkey: its a cam site | 05:29 |
| _2 | PyroBoi blackbox when i start a gui | 05:29 |
| tacosarecool | Like ustream but better | 05:29 |
| binMonkey | no. sorry. i'll buy a cam to play games, though. | 05:29 |
| PyroBoi | i've heard of that, but never seen it in action | 05:29 |
| binMonkey | hold on. | 05:29 |
| tacosarecool | There not that good of games but it's epic lulz | 05:30 |
| bilicki | I cannot sign into the hotmail (the page doesn't load when I sign in), and often some facebook features don't load as well... what could be the problem? | 05:31 |
| binMonkey | i love lulz. tomorrow i buy a cam. | 05:31 |
| bilicki | I have tried with konqueror, seamonkey, firefox and opera, no luck | 05:31 |
| _2 | !hotmail | 05:31 |
| ubottu | If you need to use an MSN Hotmail account, consider packages such as "hotway" and "hostsmtp", which are gateways respectively to the !POP and !SMTP protocols (also supporting Lycos and Spray) | 05:31 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: on the stickam home page i have a cam shot and a gray box. | 05:32 |
| binMonkey | bilicki: | 05:32 |
| tacosarecool | yeah | 05:32 |
| tacosarecool | It's so weird | 05:32 |
| tacosarecool | It was fine under hardy | 05:32 |
| binMonkey | bilicki: i think msn broke hotmail for linux users. | 05:32 |
| tacosarecool | Microsoft = msn = hotmail | 05:33 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: the gray box should be a cam also? | 05:33 |
| tacosarecool | One gray part should be a menu | 05:33 |
| bilicki | ok... does anyone here have a hotmail account??? | 05:33 |
| binMonkey | i saw it on reddit. | 05:33 |
| tacosarecool | The cam shot should be a cam shot | 05:33 |
| _2 | bilicki not that i would admit to | 05:33 |
| tacosarecool | which it is | 05:33 |
| dwidmann | I feel sorry for people who "need" hotmail ... you'd they'd eventually gain the sense to dump it for something better | 05:33 |
| tacosarecool | gmail ftw | 05:33 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: lol. if you move your mouse over the gray you get yellow tool tips. | 05:34 |
| bilicki | I couldn't care less about hotmail, but I do want my browsers to work properly | 05:34 |
| bilicki | I use gmail | 05:34 |
| binMonkey | bilicki: they work properly. msn borked hotmail for linux users. true fact. | 05:34 |
| tacosarecool | I get white tooltips | 05:34 |
| _2 | it's most likely not the browser that is "not working" | 05:34 |
| ptl | you know what | 05:35 |
| ptl | I work on Unix support at IBM | 05:35 |
| ptl | I use the terminal all the time | 05:35 |
| ptl | and having yakuake on KDE4 is a bless. | 05:35 |
| _2 | ptl and you hate the console now... | 05:36 |
| ptl | It allows for real transparency. So I can see things through the terminal, like chat screens and web texts, to guide me typing certain commands. | 05:36 |
| tacosarecool | yakuake? | 05:36 |
| tacosarecool | Oog | 05:36 |
| ptl | yakuake is the best console ever | 05:36 |
| ptl | _2: certainly not, I love it | 05:36 |
| dwidmann | yakuake is made of pure love | 05:36 |
| tacosarecool | I'll have to download it | 05:36 |
| binMonkey | yakuake is the coolest application ever! | 05:36 |
| binMonkey | yakuake gives me a boner. | 05:36 |
| _2 | terminal emulator like yakuake != console | 05:37 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: stickam works in opera and midori. | 05:37 |
| bilicki | _2: so what could be broken? | 05:37 |
| ptl | _2: oh, I understand what you meant now | 05:37 |
| _2 | bilicki the web page | 05:37 |
| ptl | _2: I don't hate the console, it's just that I am more productive using the graphical environment | 05:37 |
| tacosarecool | wow this is awesome! | 05:38 |
| tacosarecool | I wuv it! | 05:38 |
| ptl | tacosarecool: try to use real transparency, if you have KDE4... | 05:38 |
| _2 | bilicki M$ produces broken ie and then produces broken webpages that only broken ie can render propperly | 05:38 |
| PyroBoi | lol i like the gui, but i nine times out of ten have a term up | 05:38 |
| tacosarecool | I don't have that good of a graphics card | 05:38 |
| tacosarecool | But it's awesome enough | 05:38 |
| ptl | it's cool. Sometimes I even have a movie playing in the background while I type commands, lol | 05:38 |
| tacosarecool | Because it attaches to the screen | 05:39 |
| ptl | Any ATI or NVIDIA should do | 05:39 |
| tacosarecool | x300 | 05:39 |
| binMonkey | transparency works on my ati 200m. | 05:39 |
| tacosarecool | Is that old? | 05:39 |
| ptl | I dunno | 05:39 |
| dwidmann | tacosarecool: transparency effects and the like don't really take a good card to pull off. | 05:39 |
| tacosarecool | Do effects work binmonkey? | 05:39 |
| binMonkey | mine do. | 05:39 |
| binMonkey | on kde3. | 05:40 |
| binMonkey | not on xfce. | 05:40 |
| tacosarecool | Mine freeze on 4 | 05:40 |
| ptl | kde3 does not have effects | 05:40 |
| _2 | ptl fair enough. i was only anticpating a common "i use this all the time at work and now can't stand it" kind of rant. | 05:40 |
| ptl | only if you use compiz, that is | 05:40 |
| dwidmann | ptl: yes it does. | 05:40 |
| dwidmann | ptl: well, basic things, transparency, shadows, etc | 05:40 |
| y0ul053 | eh, I had compiz working fine on my geforce mx 440 ;p | 05:40 |
| binMonkey | ptl: yakuake transparency works. i haven't tried compiz. | 05:40 |
| tacosarecool | How I make it use transperency | 05:41 |
| ptl | dwidmann: kde3's transparency is not real transparency, is it? I mean, you don't have transparent canvas like the kde4's yakuake | 05:41 |
| _2 | dwidmann heh. effects != 3d effects which is what is generally meant hy effects | 05:41 |
| dwidmann | ptl: yes it is. | 05:41 |
| dwidmann | _2: vague is as vague does | 05:41 |
| ptl | y0ul053: MX 440 does not work on the latest X.org, does it? I've read that nvidia's drivers do not support it anymore. | 05:41 |
| tacosarecool | How do I mean yakuake use transperency | 05:41 |
| tacosarecool | make | 05:42 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: | 05:42 |
| bilicki | I installed this yakukake thing... isn't F12 used for something else otherwise? | 05:42 |
| ptl | dwidmann: well, in KDE3, with full xrender extensions on and compose turned on, yakuake and konsole used fake transparency | 05:42 |
| y0ul053 | dunno, haven't tried the lastest, back in *shudder* doze for a tiny bit | 05:42 |
| _2 | tacosarecool right click configure | 05:42 |
| ptl | tacosarecool: you go to the colors configuration | 05:42 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: right click in yakuake, edit current profile, | 05:42 |
| tacosarecool | Lol pressing f12 is fun! | 05:42 |
| dwidmann | ptl: you would have to use nvidia-glx-96 I think | 05:42 |
| y0ul053 | had to try out doze 7, really nothing out of the ordinary | 05:42 |
| dwidmann | ptl: all applications could have transparency, but if you went into konsole/yakuake's menus and tried to set it from there, that would be fake transparency | 05:43 |
| binMonkey | appearance tab, click edit, slide background transparency. | 05:43 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: appearance tab, click edit, slide background transparency. | 05:43 |
| ptl | dwidmann: didn't know that either. | 05:44 |
| bilicki | can someone explain to me what the point of transparency is? | 05:44 |
| bilicki | i am sure it's useful, but I just don't see for what | 05:44 |
| dwidmann | sometimes just for looks, other times when you need to be able to see through something to be able to work effectively | 05:44 |
| binMonkey | dwidmann: what is fake transparency? does it use more resources? | 05:44 |
| ptl | bilicki: besides looking cool, for my particular case it boosts productivity so I can have additional input whilst I type commands. Like a web tutorial, a mail asking commands, or a chat screen beyond what I type | 05:44 |
| ptl | *below what I type | 05:45 |
| ptl | *under | 05:45 |
| ptl | agh. | 05:45 |
| _2 | bilicki don't start asking why, and confuse everyone. just look at the eye candy. | 05:45 |
| ptl | my english is lame. | 05:45 |
| tacosarecool | All the way right | 05:45 |
| rajneesh | can any one tell me how to mount windows partition? in xubuntu | 05:45 |
| bilicki | ptl: yes, i can see where it would be useful if you are reading something in the background... | 05:45 |
| tacosarecool | Go to the xubuntu channel please | 05:45 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: fake transparency is basically like, take a screenshot of what's behind the window, and use a processed version of that screenshot for the background of the window ... or something like that | 05:46 |
| rajneesh | can you tell me xubuntu channel name | 05:46 |
| tacosarecool | binmonkey | 05:46 |
| tacosarecool | This transperency isn't working | 05:46 |
| binMonkey | dwidmann: ok. so if you move the window, the "transparency" won't change? | 05:46 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: yes? | 05:47 |
| tacosarecool | It won't change | 05:47 |
| tacosarecool | I put it at 100 percent | 05:47 |
| ptl | the fake transparency wouldnt' change | 05:47 |
| binMonkey | hold on. | 05:47 |
| _2 | rajneesh probably the same way would in *buntu mount device mountpoint arguments adding a line in fstab if you want to make it a permenant mount, or have them user montable. | 05:47 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: well, it'll refresh after a few seconds usually, depending on the app that's doing it. | 05:47 |
| tacosarecool | Oh my desktop does not appear to support transparent windows | 05:48 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: maybe not even that long ... though fake transparency is slow | 05:48 |
| _2 | !ntfs > rajneesh | 05:48 |
| ubottu | rajneesh, please see my private message | 05:48 |
| tacosarecool | I'll try enabling desktop effect | 05:48 |
| tacosarecool | s | 05:48 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: what are you using? | 05:48 |
| tacosarecool | Ati x300 | 05:48 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: what desktop? | 05:48 |
| tacosarecool | kde 4 | 05:48 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: slide it all the way to the left. | 05:48 |
| tacosarecool | To the right you mean right? | 05:49 |
| binMonkey | no. i mean left. | 05:49 |
| tacosarecool | That would make it 100 percent | 05:49 |
| _2 | your other left | 05:49 |
| binMonkey | brb. going to switch to kde. | 05:49 |
| _2 | :) | 05:50 |
| _2 | other left hehhe can't stop laughing | 05:50 |
| tacosarecool | Works now | 05:52 |
| tacosarecool | I was right | 05:52 |
| _2 | see it's your other ledt | 05:52 |
| _2 | left | 05:52 |
| binMonkey | sorry. | 05:52 |
| binMonkey | tacosarecool: slide all the way to the right. | 05:53 |
| ptl | ? | 05:53 |
| tacosarecool | Works | 05:53 |
| ptl | I am lost here | 05:53 |
| tacosarecool | Had to enable desktop effect | 05:53 |
| tacosarecool | s | 05:53 |
| tacosarecool | It will lag me though | 05:54 |
| ptl | but it seems transparency works now | 05:54 |
| binMonkey | it's so pretty. | 05:54 |
| ptl | will it? | 05:54 |
| _2 | your other left you know <- left and other left -> | 05:54 |
| tacosarecool | It has before | 05:54 |
| binMonkey | why? | 05:54 |
| ptl | all the processing goes through your videocard | 05:54 |
| ptl | shouldn't take much processing from your computer | 05:54 |
| tacosarecool | Your right | 05:54 |
| ptl | even in my laptop it does not slow down noticeably. | 05:54 |
| binMonkey | mine seems to work chop, chop fast. | 05:54 |
| tacosarecool | Probably coincidence | 05:55 |
| tacosarecool | before | 05:55 |
| dwidmann | With transparency and such turned off, and windows being drawn by the video card instead of the processor, you should theoretically speed things up a bit. | 05:55 |
| dwidmann | Of course, that approach seemed to run into roadblocks last I checked. | 05:56 |
| _2 | chop chop ? huba huba ? undelay undelay ? hurry hurry ? | 05:56 |
| binMonkey | make with the speed, charlie hustle. | 05:56 |
| bilicki | what is that terminal that , once you select text, automatically copies it? | 05:57 |
| bilicki | and then right click pastes it | 05:57 |
| ptl | I vehemently refuse to live without desktop effects. They are more important than feeding. | 05:57 |
| binMonkey | ptl: you mean the cube and all that? | 05:57 |
| dwidmann | ptl; that reminds me of a really funny webcomic | 05:57 |
| _2 | bilicki that's xorg not a terminal you highlight anything and it's copied. and "both click" or "middle click" will paste it | 05:58 |
| ptl | binMonkey: no, transparency, expose, show desktops and fast-task-switching :) | 05:59 |
| ptl | dwidmann: xkcd? | 05:59 |
| binMonkey | is ping supposed to run until you ctrl-c it? | 05:59 |
| ptl | on Linux, yes | 05:59 |
| _2 | binMonkey unless you give it a -c count | 05:59 |
| dwidmann | ptl: the particular one I'm thinking of was one of the older vgcats strips I think; | 05:59 |
| _2 | binMonkey ping -c 2 google.com | 06:00 |
| ptl | btw | 06:00 |
| ptl | desktop effects for KDE 4.1 does not have the cube | 06:00 |
| ptl | but 4.2 will have it | 06:00 |
| dwidmann | ptl: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=242 | 06:01 |
| binMonkey | i feel guilty using too many effects. like i'm showing off or being too fancy or something. | 06:01 |
| _2 | binMonkey i know the feel | 06:02 |
| binMonkey | _2: thanks. that's another man page i have to read and learn. | 06:02 |
| ptl | dwidmann: weird, but funny! I didn't know this cartoon | 06:02 |
| dfgas | has there been alot of change from kde 4.1 to 4.1.3? | 06:02 |
| tacosarecool | bye | 06:02 |
| binMonkey | bye. | 06:02 |
| dfgas | or should i wait for 4.2? | 06:02 |
| tacosarecool | what's this I hear about 4.1.3 | 06:03 |
| _2 | i'm just going to wait for kde5 | 06:03 |
| dwidmann | tacosarecool: it's in intrepid-backports | 06:03 |
| dfgas | has there been alot of change from kde 4.1 to 4.1.3? | 06:03 |
| ptl | dfgas: why wait? upgrade now | 06:03 |
| ptl | dfgas: enough changes, I think | 06:03 |
| tacosarecool | How do I upgrade? | 06:03 |
| dfgas | hmmm | 06:03 |
| binMonkey | i've learned to like xfce. | 06:03 |
| ptl | I just used a bit of 4.1.2 | 06:03 |
| ptl | but I can't say for sure because I did not use KDE 4.1 | 06:03 |
| dwidmann | dfgas: intrepid was released with 4.1.2 ... I'm not sure how much it has changed, see the changelog? | 06:03 |
| _2 | binMonkey xfce has it's points indeed | 06:04 |
| dwidmann | i've learned to like Fluxbox ... but I'm thinking about trying Enlightenment | 06:04 |
| bilicki | call me crazy, but the only browser that renders facebook properly is seamonkey | 06:05 |
| tacosarecool | Ok | 06:05 |
| tacosarecool | Good night | 06:05 |
| binMonkey | are those both lighter than xfce? | 06:05 |
| binMonkey | bye. | 06:05 |
| bilicki | how is it different than firefox or opera or konqueror/ | 06:05 |
| dwidmann | bilicki: You're crazy. (hey, you asked me to) | 06:05 |
| _2 | binMonkey but it's powered by gerbles, i just can't get used to the idea of a pinguin running on gerble power.... | 06:06 |
| dwidmann | bilicki: I can't see how it'd be much different from firefox, different from opera or konqueror I could see. | 06:06 |
| binMonkey | they're much more efficient. | 06:06 |
| ptl | but seamonkey and firefox use the same rendering engine | 06:07 |
| ptl | gecko | 06:07 |
| bilicki | also, why is the UI in firefox coupled with KDE4 so ugly? like, look at the tabs and how the edges are all drawn wrong... or is that just my computer? | 06:07 |
| _2 | seamonkey is forked from firefox because of copy left krap no? | 06:08 |
| dwidmann | bilicki: firefox's fault :\ | 06:08 |
| binMonkey | have you guys tried midori? | 06:08 |
| dwidmann | midori? | 06:09 |
| _2 | bilicki and dwidmann isnt there a lib that fixes that | 06:09 |
| dwidmann | bilicki: _2: gtk-qt-engine isn't it? | 06:09 |
| dwidmann | At any rate, it helps though it isn't quite perfect. | 06:10 |
| binMonkey | i think it's like konqueror. it's kind of bare bones but super fast. | 06:10 |
| bilicki | _2: if there is, why isn't it installed along with FF? I'll try installing it | 06:10 |
| _2 | some libgtk-something-something-something | 06:10 |
| courtjesterg | anyone listening? | 06:10 |
| dwidmann | arora is the fastest browser i've ever used .. kinda feature-light though | 06:10 |
| bilicki | dwidmann: i already have gtk-qt-engine installed | 06:11 |
| binMonkey | is it in the repos? | 06:11 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: yeah | 06:11 |
| ptl | _2: no... | 06:11 |
| ptl | _2: firefox and seamonkey are brothers, no fork | 06:12 |
| ptl | I mean | 06:12 |
| NightDragon | seamonkey = mozilla | 06:12 |

| binMonkey | dwidmann: are the daily qts reliable? | 06:13 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: I dunno, I'm about to find out | 06:13 |

| dwidmann | binMonkey: look and feel should be whatever qt theme you've got :0 | 06:15 |
| dwidmann | ***:) | 06:15 |
| courtjesterg | well nobody answwering and avoiding me does as well there is an off topic to be chatting about other things | 06:16 |
| dwidmann | (ie: oxygen) | 06:16 |
| dwidmann | My left pinkie is very unreliable lately | 06:16 |
| dwidmann | bash: ./configure: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory <--- wow, that's not cool | 06:16 |
| _2 | courtjesterg i can't answer that question because i don't know. but someone might, just don't repete to the point of beint a nusense, or they will ignore you. | 06:16 |
| dwidmann | courtjesterg: use the latest driver that will work with your card ... "run sudo nvidia-xconfig" to configure X to use the nvidia drivers ... that should be all you need to do :\ | 06:18 |
| _2 | dwidmann M$ markup | 06:19 |
| _2 | dwidmann use "dos3unix" on the script. | 06:19 |
| _2 | 2 | 06:19 |
| binMonkey | dwidmann: oooh. no java in arora yet. | 06:20 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: plugin support happens when qt 4.5 happens ... I'm guessing that would include java | 06:20 |
| dwidmann | binMonkey: alternatively ... qt-snapshot | 06:21 |
| dwidmann | _2: where might I get "dos3unix"? | 06:21 |
| _2 | 2 | 06:21 |
| binMonkey | shit. no java in midori, either. | 06:21 |
| dwidmann | oh, now I see what that 2 was there for, sorry | 06:21 |
| _2 | dos2unix should be installed | 06:21 |
| dwidmann | _2: so, it may have had CR-LF line endings or somethign? | 06:22 |
| courtjesterg | java is still screwed up even in firfox you can't play yoville in myspace it just sits there at the main screen flash | 06:22 |
| binMonkey | courtjesterg: java works fine for me. try time.gov. it's a simple time server. maybe your java installation is bad. | 06:23 |
| _2 | dwidmann not may have but did! that's what the message is saying "/bin/sh^M: bad interpreter" <<< ^M is the key. | 06:23 |
| courtjesterg | i even tryed a differeent plugin and it still screwed they should just start developing konq browers instead leaving it to rott | 06:23 |
| dwidmann | _2: ah, okay, thanks, I'll try to commit that one to memory | 06:24 |
| binMonkey | courtjesterg: did you install java from sun? | 06:24 |
| courtjesterg | yeah i got the sun version | 06:24 |
| courtjesterg | witht he extendion plugin | 06:24 |
| courtjesterg | extention | 06:24 |
| _2 | dwidmann not sure why a configure script would have M$ markup you may want to check the rest of the files too | 06:25 |
| binMonkey | try in terminal update-alternatives --config java | 06:25 |
| dwidmann | _2: more trouble than that it seems, it's saying make isn't in the $PATH, but it certainly is ... | 06:25 |
| binMonkey | courtjesterg: try in terminal update-alternatives --config java | 06:25 |
| _2 | dwidmann could be caused by said markup as noted ^ | 06:26 |
| courtjesterg | well maybe it s the adobe flash not the java | 06:26 |
| dwidmann | _2: maybe, seems that setting $MAKE worked though | 06:26 |
| binMonkey | did you try time.gov? | 06:26 |
| binMonkey | courtjesterg: did you try time.gov? | 06:26 |
| courtjesterg | time.gov works fine | 06:27 |
| courtjesterg | its a java flash baase app game on facebook and myspace | 06:27 |
| _2 | i.e. if a script adjusted the path and had bad markup the path would then have it. just a thought. | 06:27 |
| courtjesterg | yeah i saw | 06:27 |
| courtjesterg | worked fine | 06:27 |
| binMonkey | cool. at least your java works. | 06:27 |
| _2 | pool.ntp.org | 06:27 |
| courtjesterg | whats that | 06:27 |
| binMonkey | good night, guys. thanks for all the help. | 06:28 |
| courtjesterg | i still dunno how to fix this army time on my time | 06:28 |
| courtjesterg | don't think there is an option also the keyboard with layouts using the elite cordless duo logitech keyboard so when i press caps no caps show in my screen are enable ack no layouts worked | 06:29 |
| _2 | army time 08:00 zulu ? | 06:30 |
| dwidmann | _2: think this would do the trick? "find /home/blackwaltz/linux/soft/src/qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0-snapshot-20081111/ -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;" | 06:30 |
| _2 | yeah | 06:30 |
| courtjesterg | whats the respo for? | 06:31 |
| _2 | dwidmann just a thought, you might commit to memory using quotes around the {} will protect filenames with spaces '{}' or "{}" | 06:31 |
| dwidmann | _2: yeah, I have to do that from time to time, but I always forget to put that on there | 06:32 |
| _2 | dwidmann heh i have dirs with names like '\n" | 06:33 |
| _2 | :) | 06:33 |
| _2 | it plays havoc with things like that | 06:33 |
| _2 | literaly single quote new line double quote | 06:34 |
| dwidmann | _2: I'm finicky about my naming, but I didn't name this stuff though eh? (I rarely if ever use spaces ... avoid capitol letters and symbols, etc) | 06:34 |
| dwidmann | That's a strange name for a folder | 06:34 |
| _2 | it stops scripts from doing anything recursively | 06:35 |
| dwidmann | _2: an interesting idea | 06:36 |

| benbloom | anybody else having trouble with flash in 64bit Kubuntu Hardy? It works fine as long as there aren't too many instances running at once.

| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| dwidmann | benbloom: yeah, umm, it still isn't perfect, and part of the problem could potentially be the browser(s), it's hard to say | 06:39 |
| benbloom | actually _2, hogs dont use their eyes much to forrage | 06:39 |
| dwidmann | benbloom: I recommend flashblock ... that way you control which ones you view | 06:40 |
| benbloom | yeah dwidmann, I sent them a bug report | 06:40 |
| benbloom | great tip dwidmann, probably increase my speeds too (limited bandwidth-- what with KTorrent running in the bg all the time | 06:40 |
| dwidmann | benbloom: it really does help a lot | 06:41 |
| _2 | dwidmann one other thing i might warn you about, dir name '\n" will hang mc out to dry, not sure about gui file managers | 06:42 |
| benbloom | sucks because flash really could be such a cool tool if used correctly-- not as another source of annoying banner ads | 06:42 |
| dwidmann | _2: I'm curious enough to want to find out | 06:43 |
| _2 | well it's easy to make mkdir " | 06:43 |
| _2 | '" | 06:43 |
| dwidmann | benbloom: yeah, but I think it's used at least as much for annoying banner ads ... so it's practically begging to be blocked | 06:43 |
| _2 | that didn't print correctly but you get the gist of it. | 06:44 |
| _2 | it left out the \" for some reason in the irc | 06:45 |
| dwidmann | _2: dolphin copes with it okay | 06:45 |
| _2 | cool | 06:45 |

| dwidmann | _2: I'm using Opera here | 07:00 |
| benbloom | ok so it's comedycentral.com then. | 07:00 |
| benbloom | :( | 07:00 |
| _2 | dwidmann file manager i'm still on about the dir name | 07:01 |
| _2 | dagnabit | 07:03 |
| courtjesterg | problem my ccd/rewrite again i restart the computer i acutally haven't been shutting down all the way when i did sure enough it showed worked fine everything was ok, then i restarted it was still fine then later start to make a click no the red light is on not green where disc in is at aalso some odd reason my sound doesn't work wonders if that has to do with the java plugin or the same with the cd/rewrite problem | 07:03 |
| _2 | every time i start nautilus it takes over the desktop and i have to ctrl+alt+backspace | 07:03 |
| courtjesterg | kinda sounds like a trogan virus but linux heard doesn't have | 07:04 |
| _2 | yours or mine ? | 07:05 |
| courtjesterg | mine | 07:05 |
| _2 | mine's a "feature" not a bug but i sure wish it was "fixed" | 07:05 |
| _2 | it tic's me off that kde will relinquish the desktop everytime nautilus is started although that has only happened about three times, each time just testing file manager on * and each time i have had to kill x cause i have no applications menu after nautilus starts | 07:08 |
| _2 | so now i have started kde twice in the last month, each time lasting about one minute. | 07:08 |
| _2 | dwidmann but btw nautilus handles the name ok too | 07:12 |
| vlt | Hello. Can I run the latest security update including "dbus" while KDE users are logged in? | 07:15 |
| _2 | yes | 07:18 |
| _2 | andi | 07:18 |
| _2 | i need to stick with blackbox at least when nautilus commits insurrection against blackbox i only have to click it's process in the slit and select kill client and i'm back to full control of the desktop | 07:23 |
| Kernel | crap...i have no sound all of a sudden....ive tried killall artsd...ive tried to restart alsa-utils....still nothing | 07:32 |
| _2 | pulsaudio ? | 07:34 |
| Kernel | nope. | 07:35 |
| Kernel | i just did alsa force-reload and it fixed it | 07:35 |
| dingus9 | I have a problem with the screensaver, it wont start automatically after x amount of minutes, however it runs fine from the "test" button. Anyone have an idea. This is an updated dapper machine, and after update I had to add acpi=off to the kernel for it to boot. The problem remains constant from before update | 07:36 |
| mikorn4 | I have a problem with the Nav/Toolbar ... the Date and Time (widget I guess) is too small to display the whole date, and I can't seem to resize it. | 07:37 |
| mikorn4 | (KDE 4.1) | 07:37 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: when I added too many plasmoids to my bar, they overlapped and got squished, could that be the problem? | 07:39 |
| mikorn4 | Maybe... not sure what a Plasmoid, and you would have to define too many | 07:40 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: also you might take a look at compiling the "panel spacer" plasmoid if it | 07:40 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: * its not included in your distro's install | 07:40 |
| mikorn4 | !plasmoid | 07:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about plasmoid | 07:41 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: kde4 calls them plasmoids -- the kde engine is plasma ;) | 07:42 |
| mikorn4 | so then how would I determine the existence of said panel spacer? | 07:42 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: any how I had the same problem when my bar was too small for the items I had in it, so I split the bar into two bars, but then I had too much space... spacing is a problem with some plasmoids | 07:43 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: its called panel spacer I believe its another plasmoid | 07:43 |
| mikorn4 | fair enough... will check it out | 07:44 |
| mikorn4 | thanks | 07:44 |
| dingus9 | mikorn4: I had to compile it, its an extremely easy compile though... the instructions are on the page... kdelook.org - section plasmoids | 07:44 |
| niklauz | best network sync app for user files? | 07:47 |
| niklauz | preferably kde-based | 07:47 |

| niklauz | dwidmann: it is, it's what i used in my last setup actually and i liked it. Just wanted to do due dilligence before using it again without thinking | 07:51 |

| amerigo | goodmornig .... I have a question | 09:08 |
| amerigo | under kubuntu hardy how can i handle rpm file for install file? | 09:08 |
| naught101 | ARRRGHG | 09:10 |
| naught101 | why oh why was there no mention that intrepid completely dropped kde 3.5? | 09:11 |
| naught101 | knetworkmanager (if that's what it's called now) won't connect to my wireless network now that I've upgraded | 09:12 |
| naught101 | and no panel autohide? | 09:16 |
| dwidmann | naught101: I'm pretty sure that there was plenty of mention that intrepid dropped kde 3.5 ... | 09:17 |
| naught101 | dwidmann: not anywhere public - I looked for pages about intrepid features, but couldn't find any... | 09:18 |
| dwidmann | http://www.kubuntu.org/news/8.10-release -- it's not as explicit as it perhaps should be, but if you read it it'll give you the impression that kde3 has been dropped | 09:21 |
| sandhya | naught101: I think you just need to redetect and add passwords to get you wifi back up | 09:34 |
| sandhya | that's what I had to do any way | 09:35 |
| naught101 | that didn't work for me | 09:37 |
| naught101 | dwidmann: it doesn't say that kde3 isn't available at all, which is a big omission, considering that kde4 is clunky and still has a tonne of features missing. | 09:38 |
| naught101 | I can't even get a properties screen for the system tray | 09:39 |
| dwidmann | Hmm, guess in a half hour I'll have a recent qt-snapshot compiled :) | 09:41 |
| naught101 | so what are the positive things in intrepid? | 09:42 |
| === sebastian is now known as sebsebseb | ||
| dwidmann | naught101: well, pretty much everything is shiny and new (that's both its biggest positive and negative all rolled into one decisive package) | 09:44 |
| naught101 | is it any different to hardy-kde4? | 09:44 |
| dwidmann | for the most part, I'm going to say "not much" | 09:45 |
| naught101 | ok. and kde3 isn't in the repos anymore, is it? | 09:46 |
| dwidmann | Right ... it was dropped for a few good reasons ... all of which are pretty sensible. | 09:47 |
| NightDragon | help... does anyone know C++ | 09:47 |
| dwidmann | naught101: question for ya, you're not trying to use a static ip with knetworkmanger are you? Because I think that's broken in intrepid | 09:49 |
| naught101 | no, I'm not | 09:49 |
| naught101 | dwidmann: what good reasons? | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:49 |
| dwidmann | naught101: less to maintain, lets them give more attention to kde4 so it will mature faster, and last but not least, hardy still works. | 09:50 |
| naught101 | dwidmann: like "here's a half-baked DE, whinge about it to the programmers, and they might add some features in time for Jaunty, in the mean while, suck on it" | 09:51 |
| naught101 | I like the last reason though | 09:51 |
| dwidmann | naught101: ubuntu runs in a 2 year cycle. An LTS release every 2 years. The first one after the LTS is when they make the decision to make their big changes. The rest of them are spent fixing things so the next LTS won't suck. | 09:53 |
| naught101 | so Intrepid is LTS3-RC2? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | naught101: thats the glory of FOSS, if it breaks, you get both halves | 09:54 |
| dwidmann | naught101: I'd say it's more like LTS3 - beta 1 | 09:55 |
| naught101 | hah. true | 09:55 |
| naught101 | damn, every time I've upgraded to a new version, I've told all my friends to upgrade too... it's been worth it up until now. | 09:59 |
| dwidmann | naught101: it's a big change ... but I'd say development has been keeping a pretty strong pace. KDE 4.2 in January should be a breath of fresh air I hope. | 09:59 |

| naught101 | brilliant | 10:03 |
| naught101 | ok, now I might consider staying in intrepid | 10:03 |

| naught101 | something odd: in intrepid, my Kmenu icon is now the "back to start of track" icon from amarok and kaffeine... | 10:08 |

| naught101 | kde4 reminds me of windows ME | 10:51 |
| avoinea | ActionParsnip: like ? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | avoinea: some basic sound recorder | 10:52 |
| avoinea | ActionParsnip: I don't know any other app that use the mic, sorry (new in ubuntu) | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | avoinea: a chat client | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | avoinea: its the same in any OS | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | avoinea: just load up some sound recording app and empty your lungs in its general direction | 10:52 |
| JimFlint1 | naught101:have you had a look in "System Settings" Desktop - there is a setting in "Effects" | 10:53 |
| avoinea | ActionParsnip: ok, it doesn't work neither in Sound Recorder | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | avoinea: ok is the mic muted and mic boost cranked | 10:54 |

| popey | Hello. If someone installs Kubuntu 8.04, and upgrades to 8.10 - will they keep KDE 3.x or will they get KDE 4.x? | 10:56 |
| naught101 | this isn't compiz, is it? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | avoinea: it creates unnecessary traffic | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | popey: you'll get kde 4.1 | 10:56 |
| popey | thanks ActionParsnip - is there no way to keep kde3 in 8.10? or is it no longer maintained? | 10:57 |
| * avoinea ActionParsnip: ok, moving to ubuntu room | 10:57 | |
| ActionParsnip | popey: no idea personally, maybe someone else does | 10:57 |

| howtoo | ? | 10:59 |
| dwidmann | naught101: newest is 4.1.3 in intrepid-backports | 11:02 |
| naught101 | no 4.2 betas anywhere? | 11:03 |
| dwidmann | naught101: I don't think so, but I'll look around | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | naught101: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | naught101: oops : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 | 11:05 |
| naught101 | ActionParsnip: why? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | naught101: November 25, 2008 Beta 1 | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | naught101: its got the release dates | 11:06 |
| naught101 | ok, then alphas :) | 11:06 |
| naught101 | thanks | 11:06 |
| ct529 | I would like to manually add the kde 4.1.3 to my ubuntu installation .... could anyone point me to the repository, so that I cann add it by command line? I have been searching for it for 20 min on wiki,ubuntu.com and it is very very frustrating | 11:06 |
| === benno is now known as bendie | ||
| naught101 | ct529: what version are you in? | 11:07 |
| ct529 | naught101: ubuntu 804 | 11:07 |
| naught101 | kubuntu-kde4 I think | 11:07 |
| fernando_ | holas | 11:07 |
| ct529 | naught101: nope .... I am on ubuntu and would like to try kde 413 .... to see how stable it is before dcideing whther to switch | 11:08 |
| naught101 | oh... | 11:08 |
| naught101 | sorry | 11:08 |
| dwidmann | ct529: kubuntu-desktop-kde4 mayhap | 11:08 |
| === tony_ is now known as tony_93 | ||
| naught101 | guess you could just download them all from the intrepid-backports and use gkdebi | 11:09 |
| ct529 | naught101: ???? | 11:09 |
| ct529 | naught101: I cannot spend the morning :) | 11:09 |
| ct529 | naught101: there has to be a respository somewhere! what does you adept say? | 11:09 |
| naught101 | well then don't do it. there probably aren't packages for hardy | 11:09 |
| ct529 | s/you/your | 11:09 |
| apadox | hi, can omeone help me .. i can't connect to a wireless network that have no encription on and i can connect normaly via windows xp | 11:10 |
| naught101 | ct529: just add the intrepid-backports report, install those packages, then remove the repo | 11:10 |
| dwidmann | ct529: it's one of the ppa repositories, let me fetch a link | 11:10 |
| ct529 | dwidmann: this is the one thanks ....! | 11:10 |
| naught101 | heh... I already have kde 4.1.3.. painful | 11:11 |
| dwidmann | ct529: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main | 11:11 |
| bendie | Hi everybody! Are there plans to fix the translation issues with kubuntu 8.10? The kubuntu-kde4 packages for 8.04 were translated completely to German while in 8.10, I got a complete mess... | 11:12 |
| ct529 | naught101: why? | 11:12 |
| ct529 | dwidmann: thanks a lot! | 11:12 |
| dwidmann | bendie: I have no idea ... maybe someone in #kubuntu-de might know | 11:13 |
| naught101 | ct529: because that is 4.0.3, not 4.0.13 | 11:13 |
| ct529 | naught101: in what sense? they have not done enough bug fixing? | 11:13 |
| naught101 | oh, it's painful because it's got far less features than kde 3.5.6 | 11:13 |
| naught101 | or even most versions of windows | 11:14 |
| dwidmann | naught101: the changes to the core of kde were pretty major ... it's just taking time, that's all. | 11:15 |
| ct529 | naught101: slowly getting there probably .... I used 405 for w hile, it looked pretty good to me | 11:15 |
| naught101 | dwidmann: I know, and I'm excited about kde eventually be useful, but it shouldn't be at 4.0 yet - it's not a complete DE | 11:16 |
| dwidmann | naught101: looks like koffice will suffer from similar effects, it won't be up to snuff until at least 2.2 | 11:16 |
| naught101 | it's still a beta, or an RC at best | 11:16 |
| dwidmann | naught101: more users = more developers = faster development = more features/stability = more users = more developers .... | 11:16 |
| ct529 | dwidmann: did you have a go at the last one | 11:16 |
| naught101 | sure, but just promo 4.0-beta more | 11:17 |
| dwidmann | ct529: at the last what? | 11:17 |

| christian_ | got problems with static ip conf. which entries do i have to set (address, netmask, gateway, network; anything else?) pakage <resolvconf> is installed | 11:19 |
| dwidmann | ct529: I tried the most recent beta ... found it pretty crashy. From what I've read several apps won't even be included in the 2.0 release, including kexi and kspread | 11:20 |
| ct529 | dwidmann: :( | 11:22 |
| dwidmann | ct529: reason cited is that they're not stable enough ... pretty good reason ... though what kind of an office suite would release without a spreadsheet program? | 11:22 |
| dwidmann | ct529: others will have features disabled which are known to be unstable ... which of course begs the question if you know something's broken ... why not take as much time as needed to fix those parts rather than rush a release ... oh well | 11:24 |
| christian_ | got problems with static ip conf. which entries do i have to set (address, netmask, gateway, network; anything else?) pakage <resolvconf> is installed | 11:25 |
| tdn | I have tried using Kiosk Admin Tool to generate a restricted profile. Then I have rsync'ed this profile to /home/user/.kde, but now that user cannot log in. Do I need to do more than that? | 11:28 |
| dwidmann | christian_: humm, you're not using knetworkmanager for it are you? I think static ip in it is broken (just need to check that) | 11:31 |
| ct529 | dwidmann: I agree .... I would rather have a later release than a broken release | 11:31 |
| ct529 | dwidmann: oh well .... I have to go! thanks a lot and see you later! | 11:31 |
| dwidmann | ct529: first release after the lts ... it's going to be a little broken | 11:32 |

| apadox | i can't connect to wireless but i can on my xp | 11:38 |
| apadox | i can see all networks normaly | 11:38 |
| dwidmann | apadox: I would check this first: | 11:41 |

| apadox | and everything works on kubuntu on wired on other router | 11:43 |
| dwidmann | apadox: really? Hmm, dhcp or static? | 11:43 |
| apadox | i tried both .. but via gui | 11:43 |
| apadox | look at this | 11:43 |
| apadox | http://www.pastedump.com/paste/145 | 11:43 |
| dwidmann | apadox: try something like "sudo dhclient eth0" | 11:43 |
| apadox | has both networks .. shows like network 1 is connected but it's gataway is 192.168.2.1 not 1.1 | 11:44 |
| apadox | i must go reboot so can you tell me some more stuff to try dwidmann | 11:44 |

| yao_ziyuan | my ubuntu in macosx look (without the docker): http://i37.tinypic.com/j94xg7.png | 11:51 |
| dwidmann_ | Hrm, I wonder if there's a way to figure out what process is associated with a window | 11:53 |
| SlimeyPete | dwidmann_: there must be, because xkill must do just that in order for it to kill the process | 11:55 |
| SlimeyPete | it might involve a kernel procedure call of some kind though | 11:55 |
| dwidmann_ | SlimeyPete: problem is, xkill can't kill it | 11:55 |
| SlimeyPete | ah | 11:55 |
| dwidmann_ | SlimeyPete: any bright ideas on how to kill it? It's not a zombie, and the window has no name | 11:56 |
| apadox | hai | 12:00 |
| apadox | nothing came from dhclient | 12:00 |
| SlimeyPete | dwidmann_: no, sorry - xkill is always my last resort | 12:00 |

| OxDeadC0de | waylandbill what if you do "modprobe cdrom" , anything? | 13:22 |
| waylandbill | yes. it loads and shows 0 devices using it. | 13:23 |
| OxDeadC0de | waylandbill hmm, you can look in /lib/modules/2.6.27-8-generic/kernel/drivers/ata , see if maybe you need one of those loaded? | 13:24 |
| waylandbill | 2.6.27-8.. hmm... mine is showing 2.6.27-7. | 13:25 |
| OxDeadC0de | oh I use backports, that's why | 13:25 |

| Serva | It is some BusyBox v1.1.3 built in shell | 13:32 |
| OxDeadC0de | oh never mind | 13:32 |
| Serva | what should I do | 13:33 |
| OxDeadC0de | does loading it regular like a live cd work? and can you not install it from the live-cd environment? | 13:33 |
| waylandbill | OxDeadC0de: looks like the module I need is pata_atiixp and it was loaded at system startup | 13:34 |
| Serva | I just finished installing kubuntu on my ibm thinkpad t61 without any problems | 13:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | waylandbill it won't hurt to try loading ata_generic too , at least, it shouldn't | 13:35 |
| waylandbill | loaded that... saw something interesting in the dmesg around the loading of pata-atiixp though.. | 13:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | Serva find an error message (boot without quite and without splash), use dmesg to print out the kernel log in the shell, shift+page up to scroll up | 13:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | try to narrow it down | 13:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | waylandbill ? | 13:37 |
| waylandbill | ata2 is my hard drive and it was up.. ata1 must be the cd drive and it claims link down. Status 0 SControl 300 | 13:37 |
| waylandbill | the bios knows it is there though, so it's not a hardware failure as far as the bios knows. | 13:38 |
| Serva | there is nothing I can do.. it is just falling off the installation, into this busybox | 13:45 |

| mado | this should be the package i guess | 14:15 |
| Envite | just install a standard kubuntu and the apt-install gnome-desktop environment (if you prefer to use KDM) | 14:15 |
| OxDeadC0de | mado I have them both.. started out with regular ubuntu, then did apt-get install kde-desktop | 14:15 |
| Envite | or reversely if you prefer GDM | 14:15 |
| OxDeadC0de | er, kubuntu-desktop I mean | 14:15 |
| mado | :) | 14:15 |
| OxDeadC0de | if you want to switch between kdm and gdm just do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" | 14:15 |
| mado | or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" if i want to use kdm again? | 14:16 |
| OxDeadC0de | nope | 14:16 |
| Envite | mado: no | 14:16 |
| OxDeadC0de | it brings up a menu that lets you switch | 14:16 |
| Dragonath | OxDeadC0de: and if I don't I need to install the official kde package from adept? | 14:16 |
| Envite | just reconfiguring gdm gives you teh option of select which XDM to use | 14:16 |
| OxDeadC0de | dragonath if you want it - kubuntu-desktop | 14:17 |
| mado | and where can i choose the option? | 14:17 |
| mado | before starting-up? | 14:17 |
| Envite | in the gdm setup itself | 14:17 |
| mado | uhuu :) | 14:17 |
| Envite | while you are installing it | 14:17 |
| Dragonath | OxDeadC0de: ok thanks | 14:17 |
| mado | well ... here's the thing ... i want to install gnome and see how it looks like at the moment ... i don't want the standard-programs that come with ubuntu to be installed because i have already installed some of the programs i like | 14:18 |
| OxDeadC0de | someone who maintains ubuntu should really add "OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;" to /etc/xdg/autostart/nm-applet.desktop and OnlyShowIn=KDE for knetworkmanager-autostart.desktop | 14:18 |
| mado | and as far as i know there shouldn't be a problem using this programs with gnome | 14:18 |
| === lab is now known as lab1 | ||
| === jtechidna is now known as JontheEchidna | ||
| Envite | mado: tehre are no problems using gnome programs in KDE nor KDE programs in gnome | 14:20 |
| mado | :) | 14:20 |
| Envite | I have both complete desktops | 14:21 |
| OxDeadC0de | mado I have both, and use programs from both in kde, shouldn't really make a huge difference wether you use kde or gnome - except for certain core features like keyring unlocking, autoremount of ssh shares when they come unmounted for any reason except explicitly, stuff like that may not work | 14:21 |
| Envite | I work in kde and usually use some gnome apps | 14:21 |
| Envite | and there is no problem | 14:21 |
| Envite | I recommend you to install them both complete, if you have enough space | 14:22 |
| mado | OxDeadC0de: sorry ... i don't understand what that means ... but i guess i haven't used these things before | 14:22 |
| mado | so ... what package should i install? | 14:22 |
| OxDeadC0de | Envite: I have music stored on my ssh server, I play it over wifi with my laptop.. but ssh disconnects on it's own every 10 minutes or so. When i run with gdm and gnome + rhythmbox, it automatically remounts it when it fails, but when I use kdm+kde+rhythmbox , it fails to remount the server again - and I have to unlock the keyring each time for it to even mount the server | 14:23 |
| OxDeadC0de | so i end up using a bash script i made to automount the server and keep it mounted, checking every 20 seconds to make sure it's still mounted, so it appears the files are all local | 14:24 |
| Envite | heh | 14:24 |
| Envite | OxDeadC0de: have you tried to activate the keep-hot packages in ssh? | 14:24 |
| mado | boah ... dear guys and gals ... sometimes i really think that i should visit some of you ... | 14:24 |
| mado | the things you're talking about sound great | 14:25 |
| Dragonath | if I just install the kde4 package it should take care of installind kde4 right? | 14:26 |
| OxDeadC0de | nvr heard of keep-hot, but I use fedora 7 on my server, don't want to change distro's because it's HEAVILY customized, like everything I do, and it took a really freakin long time to install/configure everything it uses | 14:26 |
| OxDeadC0de | dragonath if you do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop it will get everything you need.. | 14:27 |
| Dragonath | adept shows I have that installed already | 14:27 |
| Envite | OxDeadC0de: is a standard ssh option | 14:27 |
| Dragonath | I am using kde3.59 or whatever it was right now | 14:27 |
| === patricio is now known as Guest5596 | ||
| Envite | OxDeadC0de: -o TCPKeepAlive | 14:27 |
| Envite | and a shorter ServerAliveInterval | 14:29 |
| mado | gnome-desktop-environment ? ... is this the package i should install? | 14:29 |
| OxDeadC0de | I'll try it | 14:30 |
| mado | or is it this one -> gnome-core ? | 14:30 |
| Envite | mado: nop | 14:30 |
| Envite | gnome-core is just the inner core of gnome | 14:30 |
| Envite | the things without which you can not run gnome at all | 14:30 |
| mado | oh! | 14:30 |
| Envite | the complete gnome is "gnome" | 14:30 |
| mado | complete means what? | 14:31 |
| DaSkreech | Gnome has a core? | 14:31 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-desktop | 14:31 |
| OxDeadC0de | mado I think you want "ubuntu-desktop" package? no? | 14:31 |
| Envite | and gnome-desktop-environment is the complete-with-extensions-and-such | 14:31 |
| DaSkreech | if I remove that would the rest of Gnome go away as well? | 14:31 |
| mado | i just need gnome ... no software that comes with it ... like firefox or something like that because i already have firefox installed | 14:31 |
| DaSkreech | !gnome | 14:31 |
| ubottu | gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. | 14:31 |
| DaSkreech | hmm | 14:31 |
| Envite | DaSkreech: it depends on if you're using aptitude or apt | 14:31 |
| DaSkreech | Envite: well if i remove kdelibcs4c2a then all of KDE goes with it | 14:32 |
| Envite | mado: gnome does not come with firefox | 14:32 |
| Envite | DaSkreech: yes | 14:32 |
| DaSkreech | I don't know a way to do that with gnome except to pick out all the little peices and remove them | 14:32 |
| DaSkreech | Quite annoying | 14:32 |
| DaSkreech | mado: Yeah Pidgin and Firefox are not Gnome apps all reports to the contrary | 14:33 |
| OxDeadC0de | daskreech well everything gnome is based off gtk+ (Gimp Tool Kit), so if you remove the core libs, they should all go | 14:33 |
| Envite | DaSkreech: if using aptitude the removing the biggest package causes the remaining ones to be "unneeded" and the removed too | 14:33 |
| DaSkreech | OxDeadC0de: Sweet :) about time :) | 14:33 |
| DaSkreech | the "biggest" package ? | 14:34 |
| Envite | yes, the package which has the dependences on all the others | 14:34 |
| Envite | gnome-desktop-environment depends on gnome | 14:34 |
| Envite | gnome depends on gnome-core | 14:34 |
| OxDeadC0de | the metapackage that links them all together, or the library package that they all rely on | 14:34 |
| Envite | gnome-core dependes on the libraries, etc | 14:35 |
| Envite | so the biggest is gnome-desktop-environment since nobody depends on it | 14:35 |
| Envite | OxDeadC0de: the meta | 14:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | easier to think of it like a hierarchy - which it is | 14:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | remove the head of the snake, the body dies , er | 14:36 |
| Envite | but the pieces of the body who are needed by OTHER heads will not be removed | 14:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | lol | 14:36 |
| Envite | so if you installed GIMP by hand | 14:36 |
| Envite | removing gnome will NOT remove GTK | 14:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | 1/2 liter of vodka and me do not mix :~ | 14:38 |
| mado | thank god you said snake and not ... erm ... cockroach :) | 14:39 |
| mado | yuk! | 14:39 |
| mado | sorry ... | 14:39 |
| Envite | not english, don't know what a "cockroach" is | 14:40 |

| natschil | how do I change global kdeyboard shortcuts in kde4? | 14:41 |
| DaSkreech | Why are cucarachas female? | 14:41 |
| DaSkreech | natschil: system settings | 14:41 |
| natschil | I can't change the global shortcuts though | 14:42 |

| arash | Hi, just swapped over from Ubuntu to Kubuntu by overwriting i on the system. I have problem with sound, it just ain't working. Anyone know if this problem is frequent? | 14:58 |
| Dragonath | kde 4.0.3 isn't the latest version is it? | 14:58 |
| Dragonath | how do I upgrade? | 14:58 |
| mado | kde 4.1 or something like that is the latest as far as i know | 14:59 |
| mado | 4.1.3 | 15:00 |
| OxDeadC0de | dragonath what distro are you using? | 15:00 |
| Dragonath | 8.04 I think | 15:00 |
| Dragonath | I'm not sure because no package manager offers me an upgrade to 8.10 | 15:01 |
| DaSkreech | arash: how not working? | 15:01 |
| DaSkreech | !kde4 | Dragonath | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Dragonath: KDE 4.1.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 - Support in #kubuntu | 15:01 |
| DaSkreech | Dragonath: Do you want to be on 8.10 ? | 15:01 |
| Dragonath | DaSkreech: I thought I would like a shot yes | 15:02 |
| DaSkreech | !upgrade | Dragonath this might help | 15:02 |
| ubottu | Dragonath this might help: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 15:02 |
| Dragonath | ok thanks | 15:02 |
| OxDeadC0de | dragonath if you have gnome type into a terminal update-manager -d, that will upgrade you | 15:03 |
| arash | DaSkreech - No sound is coming ... It worked fine under Ubuntu | 15:03 |
| DaSkreech | arash: Only for KDE apps or for all apps? | 15:03 |
| arash | hmm, I only tried KDE apps I think, i'll check | 15:03 |
| arash | hmm, what non-KDE-app makes sound :P ? | 15:03 |
| mado | ? | 15:04 |
| DaSkreech | mplayer ? | 15:04 |
| mado | vlc? :) | 15:04 |
| Dragonath | OxDeadC0de: I have kde, that's why I am asking this here :P | 15:04 |
| mado | Dragonath: do you have some problems with sound? ... type alsamixer in the terminal ... | 15:05 |
| arash | mado I do have problem with sound :p | 15:05 |
| DaSkreech | !sound | 15:05 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:05 |
| mado | ok then ... arash ... type alsamixer in the terminal | 15:05 |
| Dragonath | mado: nah sound works alright | 15:06 |
| mado | maybe you have the same problem i had | 15:06 |
| arash | mado ok, some graphical bars pop up in the terminal | 15:06 |
| graingert | some videos on the web show a kwin 3d cube | 15:06 |
| graingert | where can I get this feature? | 15:06 |
| mado | is there one of this things down to zero? | 15:06 |
| JontheEchidna | graingert: you will have to wait for KDE 4.2 | 15:06 |
| arash | mado yea | 15:06 |
| graingert | JontheEchidna: suck; will this be backported to ibex | 15:07 |
| Dragonath | actually right now I would be happy if I got kde 4.1.3 installed and all the old kde3 apps that have been replaced go away | 15:07 |
| arash | and some things dont have a bar | 15:07 |
| matisse | Is it still possible to just copy a plugin file into the plugin directory of firefox to enable that plugin ? With ff 2 it worked, but whats with ff 3 ? | 15:07 |
| JontheEchidna | graingert: 4.2 packages will probably be made available for Intrepid, yes | 15:07 |
| matisse | And if, where do I find the directory. I have 4 dirs with 2 plugins in it but not the current working ones.. | 15:07 |
| mado | that's ok ... i guess ... i saw the same thing on my computer | 15:07 |
| DaSkreech | graingert: No if it hasn't been done already. KDE 4.2 will be put out for Ibex you can upgrade to tit | 15:08 |
| graingert | JontheEchidna: no, only 9.04 http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962627 (scroll to bottom) | 15:08 |
| DaSkreech | Dragonath: A note is there is no KDE3 for Ibex so if you need KDE3 apps you may want to hang on Hardy for a while | 15:08 |
| mado | try to set all things to 100 or something high ... then check again ... that's what i did :) | 15:08 |
| DaSkreech | 4.1.3 is a bugfix update nothing ew or remotely exciting unless Kopete crashes on you all the time | 15:08 |
| JontheEchidna | graingert: yes, we did backport the feature for KDE 4.1.3 and removed it | 15:09 |
| DaSkreech | matisse: technically yes and its in your profile dir | 15:09 |
| graingert | fickle | 15:09 |
| JontheEchidna | graingert: but Intrepid will get KDE 4.2.x packages similarly to how Hardy got KDE 4.1.x packages | 15:09 |

| DaSkreech | Rebooting restarts all the systems. You just need to find which one needed to restart manually | 15:37 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: Start firefox from the command line | 15:37 |
| OutoLumo | DarkTan, sudo dolphin? | 15:37 |
| dromer | I can play dvd's in kaffeine, but X isn't extended to my tv anymore :/ | 15:37 |
| DaSkreech | DarkTan: kdesudo dolphin | 15:38 |

| ubottu | OutoLumo: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:38 |

| Lokiase | DaSKreech, how can I find 'something' and fix it? :s | 15:39 |
| dromer | ah, kernel-update .. see how that goes and maybe fix some things -_- | 15:39 |
| Lokiase | can someone help please? firefox isnt working and my systems logs off whole the time | 15:40 |
| Dr_willis | 'whole the time' You mean ALl the time? | 15:41 |
| Dr_willis | are the 2 problems related? | 15:41 |
| Lokiase | yes, i'm sorry :) | 15:41 |
| Lokiase | I don't know | 15:41 |
| Lokiase | only know that when I solve one prob ;) | 15:41 |
| Dr_willis | ie: you use firefox.. it crashes and kicks you back to KDM login? or does it take you back without using firefox? | 15:41 |
| === thomas__ is now known as kalleeen | ||
| Lokiase | KDM login | 15:42 |
| Lokiase | its possible it is firefox indeed | 15:42 |
| Lokiase | never payd attention when i was kicked out | 15:42 |
| Lokiase | because its always unexpected :p | 15:42 |
| Relyc | i hate to jump in the middle of the conversation | 15:43 |
| Lokiase | i've just relnstalled firefox | 15:43 |
| Lokiase | but that doenst solve the problem | 15:43 |
| Dr_willis | 'reinstalling' is windows thinking | 15:43 |
| Dr_willis | reinstalling did not change the users settings, or anything really. :) | 15:43 |
| Relyc | gotta a quick ? about my sound card | 15:44 |
| Dr_willis | test #1 - make a new user - see if the problem also affects them Lokiase . | 15:44 |
| Lokiase | I don't know, because its not all the time | 15:44 |
| Lokiase | and.. my personal files are in this account :s | 15:44 |
| Dr_willis | Lokiase, as i said this is a TEST. | 15:45 |
| Dr_willis | If the new user is not affected.. then its points to a firefox/extensoon/setting issue.. | 15:45 |
| Lokiase | but at this moment | 15:45 |
| dromer | hmmmz, kernel-update didn't fix my X problem :/ | 15:45 |
| Dr_willis | if the new user IS affected.. then it points to a firefox/driver issue | 15:45 |
| Lokiase | ok | 15:45 |
| Lokiase | how do I create a new user :s | 15:45 |
| syock | Dr_willis: lol'd at your comment "windows thinking". btw, even windows program are starting to become reinstall-resistant nowadays | 15:46 |
| Dr_willis | sudo adduser billgates | 15:46 |
| Dr_willis | syock, good old 'repair' feature that never works | 15:46 |
| Dr_willis | syock, i recall some apps that would NOT uninstall - if i was in low-color mode under windows.. I had to fix the video card drivers befor i could clean out a system once.. | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | ok | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | made the user | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | and now? | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | log out | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | and login | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | and testing? | 15:47 |
| Dr_willis | yes. | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | ok | 15:47 |
| Dr_willis | Logical Eh :) | 15:47 |
| dromer | anyone an idea why suddenly X doesn't see my tv? :/ | 15:47 |
| syock | Dr_willis: gone are the good old days. Not that I want to go back tho | 15:47 |
| Relyc | hey doc | 15:47 |
| Lokiase | i will come back (suggesting that logoff wil kick me out of this session? ) :p | 15:47 |
| Dr_willis | X 'sees the tv' - you meean your system no longer detecets the tv video out as a device/monitor? | 15:48 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: yes, sorry | 15:48 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, and what video card? | 15:49 |
| Relyc | i have a weird problem if i install the graphic accel for my vcard my sound card stops working | 15:49 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: geforce2mx, it worked until I rebooted for kaffeines dvd-playing to work | 15:49 |
| dromer | :/ | 15:49 |
| Jampiter | Hi | 15:50 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, i would try reinsatlling the nvidia drivers. | 15:50 |
| Dr_willis | it may be using the nv drivers | 15:50 |
| Jampiter | I need a help - What's the name of the package that makes GTK applications use the KDE4/QT widgets? | 15:51 |
| Relyc | everythign works great until i turn on the accel once it installs it stuff my sound card stops and i have to reinstall the gui | 15:51 |
| MisterL | back | 15:51 |
| MisterL | I did the test, firefox isnt working in the testaccount | 15:51 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: hmmm, how would that happen? anyway, nvidia-settings was not giving trouble about the wrong drivers, normally it does that | 15:51 |
| === MisterL is now known as Lokiase | ||
| dromer | Dr_willis: how do I best reinstall the nvidia drivers ? | 15:51 |
| === asociacija is now known as websas | ||
| Dr_willis | dromer, not sure.. theres been lots of kernel updates recently.. if yours is using the nvidia drivers.. perhaps ya just need to reconfiogure the xorg.conf again | 15:52 |
| Jampiter | Anyone? | 15:52 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: you mean run nvidia-xconfig? | 15:52 |
| Dr_willis | I just hooked up a 2nd monitor.. Ineed to restart X and see if i got it going.. | 15:52 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, yea.. shouldent hurt. I hope. :P | 15:52 |
| dromer | ok, lets see what happens now .. | 15:52 |
| Lokiase | Dr_willis, testaccount: firefox didn't work | 15:53 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, i notice on some of my old machines - the tv MUST be hooked up when i boot up.. of the video card never seesit.. | 15:53 |
| dromer | not working :/ | 15:53 |
| dromer | it is | 15:53 |
| Dr_willis | Lokiase, so its always crashing as you use firefox then? | 15:53 |
| dromer | I mean, it was ;) hooked on and turned on | 15:53 |
| dromer | the tv flickrs a bit when I restart X | 15:53 |
| Dragonath | in kde4 how do I change the taskbar background color? | 15:54 |
| DaSkreech | Relyc: Ask | 15:54 |
| Lokiase | Dr_willis: firefox doesn't start, not in my account, not in the testaccount, and its possible the reason KDE crashes is firefox, but not sure bout that, when the firefoxprob is fixed, i can see if the logoff prob comes back... | 15:54 |
| Relyc | hey | 15:54 |
| Relyc | if i install the vcard accel drivers my sound card stops working | 15:55 |
| vlt | Hello. When I open Konqueror 3.5.10 in file browser mode (on Kubuntu 8.04) I don't always see all files listed in the directory. I have to press F5 to refresh. Any idea how to fix this? | 15:55 |
| vlt | The problem only exists when opening directories that are on nfs mounted devices. | 15:56 |
| vlt | When a file on the nfs share is changed from the client machine itself, Konqueror immediately shows that change. | 15:56 |
| DaSkreech | Jampiter: try something-something engine | 15:56 |
| vlt | But not when a file is changed from another client or on the nfs server itself. Is there a mount option to switch on "notifying"? | 15:56 |
| DaSkreech | gtk-qt or qt-gtk I never recall which is which | 15:56 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: hmmm, when I tell nvidia-settings to detect screens the tv also flickers .. somehow it still doesn't see it :/ | 15:57 |
| Jampiter | Thanks DaSkreech | 15:57 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, let me pastebinit my xorg.conmf for my tv out/pc | 15:58 |
| Lokiase | [16:54] <Lokiase> Dr_willis: firefox doesn't start, not in my account, not in the testaccount, and its possible the reason KDE crashes is firefox, but not sure bout that, when the firefoxprob is fixed, i can see if the logoff prob comes back... | 15:58 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, http://pastebin.com/f395d72b5 | 15:58 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: hmmm, I'm not in X right now (another problem I have with X is my screen gets a resolution of only 640x280, but that's not related .. I think) | 15:59 |
| glkasleg | where do I change setting for default file browser. I want konqueror insted of Dolphin | 16:00 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: I'm starting firefox now on my x-session, but I can't really compare anything due to the small resolution | 16:00 |
| DaSkreech | glkasleg: in Konqueror -> settings -> configure Konqueror -> file associations -> inode -> swap Dolphin for konqueror | 16:01 |
| dromer | Dr_willis: but still, I'm not sure how I can compare our xorg.conf since nvidia-xconfig completely highjacks it | 16:01 |
| glkasleg | DaSkreech: thanks | 16:01 |
| Lokiase | can someone please solve my firefoxprob :s | 16:01 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: run firefox --safemoge | 16:01 |
| DaSkreech | mode | 16:01 |
| Lokiase | segmentation error | 16:02 |
| Lokiase | again | 16:02 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: may want to join irc.mozilla.org and ask in #firefox | 16:03 |
| DaSkreech | I'd suggest purging firefox but then I have no idea what you might lose | 16:03 |
| Lokiase | purging? | 16:05 |
| Lokiase | lose? | 16:05 |
| dromer | DaSkreech: .firefox would not be removed | 16:05 |
| DaSkreech | dromer: What? | 16:05 |
| dromer | or would it? | 16:05 |
| dromer | .firefox/ the folder with all the user-data | 16:06 |
| stdin | dpkg doesn't touch ~/ | 16:06 |
| dromer | so | 16:06 |
| dromer | so what is there to be lost | 16:06 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: When you remove firefox it keeps all the settings (you may have noticed that) purging removes all settings so you could start afresh | 16:06 |
| DaSkreech | course you could just close firefox then mv ~/.firefox ~/.firefoxed | 16:06 |
| DaSkreech | and restart firefox | 16:06 |
| DaSkreech | :) | 16:06 |
| Dr_willis | dromer, it dont if you just replace it.. from what ive seen | 16:07 |
| Dr_willis | BRB | 16:08 |
| dromer | eh? | 16:08 |
| Lokiase | Deskreech: when I use that command, it says that folder or file doesn't exist | 16:08 |
| tillz | heyho | 16:10 |
| tillz | need help, anybody here? | 16:11 |
| Lokiase | jes :p | 16:11 |
| Lokiase | still need help | 16:11 |
| Lokiase | firefoxprob stil not solved :( | 16:11 |
| tillz | whose would help me | 16:11 |
| tillz | i have to work with a resoultion of 680x480 or anything like this | 16:11 |
| Dr_willis | Lokiase, if you go to a simple web site does firefox crash? or is it any site? or every site? or just flash sites? | 16:11 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: You have no ~/.firefox ? | 16:12 |
| DaSkreech | !resolution | 16:12 |

| === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| Dr_willis | tillz, be sure you have your proper video card drivers installed for your brand bvideoc ard | 16:12 |
| tillz | yes it worked perfect | 16:12 |
| Lokiase | I cannot go to a website, firefox does not start, it crashes on the startup... and no idea I have a folder like that, i just did the command | 16:12 |
| tillz | but once a day i started and it doesn recognized the video card | 16:12 |
| tillz | i reinstalled the driver with envyng | 16:13 |
| Dr_willis | Lokiase, from a terminal run 'firefox' and look for any error messages | 16:13 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: So Firefox has never worked? | 16:13 |
| tillz | but it doesn´t works | 16:13 |
| Dr_willis | tillz, if you used envyng. you will need to rerun envyng after every kernel update. | 16:13 |
| Lokiase | Dr_willis: in the terminal it is: "segmentation error' | 16:13 |
| DaSkreech | holymoly: Is she? | 16:13 |
| tillz | yes i know :-p | 16:13 |
| Dr_willis | Lokiase, thats a bad sign. | 16:13 |
| Lokiase | DaSkreech: it works, not always sometimes | 16:13 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: Blaaaa | 16:14 |
| matisse | how does a package get the status 'old' ? | 16:14 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozedup | 16:14 |
| DaSkreech | matisse: It passes 60 gets a gold watch and a rocking chair | 16:15 |
| Lokiase | DaSkreech | 16:15 |
| Lokiase | that command didn't give an error | 16:15 |
| Lokiase | and now? | 16:15 |
| DaSkreech | restart firefox | 16:15 |
| Lokiase | DaSkreech, same error | 16:16 |
| Dr_willis | i dont recall ever seeing the term 'segmentation error' befor | 16:16 |
| Lokiase | it says | 16:17 |
| Lokiase | segmentatiefout | 16:17 |
| Lokiase | its dutch :) | 16:17 |
| Lokiase | ow I think | 16:17 |
| Lokiase | the correct translation is segmentation fault | 16:17 |
| Dr_willis | That means it 'crashed' :) | 16:17 |
| Dr_willis | could be for any of a dozen reasons.. | 16:18 |
| Dr_willis | including hardware issues, memory issues, or cruppted files | 16:18 |
| Lokiase | it needs to be solved | 16:18 |
| Lokiase | its not working nice this way :p | 16:18 |
| Dr_willis | With out a clue as to why its crashing.. theres not a lot one can do | 16:18 |
| Lokiase | how can i give a clue? | 16:19 |
| Dr_willis | thats why we have been testing with new users, and removing the settings dir. | 16:19 |
| OxDeadC0de | are there firefox-dbg packages in the repos? | 16:19 |
| Dr_willis | but it seems to be crashing for everyone/everytimg | 16:19 |
| === holymoly is now known as holycow | ||
| OxDeadC0de | if yes, install those, then run gdb firefox in a console, when it crashes run back full and pastebin the results? | 16:20 |
| matisse | is there a good support forum for (k)ubuntu ? I ask a lot of questions, so it would make sense to register in ubuntuforums.org, am I right ? | 16:20 |
| Dr_willis | Yes matisse | 16:20 |
| Lokiase | Dr_willis, when I restart the computer, restart the x-server, choose standard profile instead of KDE (or KDE instead of standard, just the one with no v on) it usually works for a couple of houres | 16:20 |
| OxDeadC0de | that would make sense matisse, especially if nobody here knows the answers to your questions (since this is real time support) | 16:20 |
| Dr_willis | Lokiase, as a different text.. you could install a light window manager, like icewm, and try running firefox with that for a while. | 16:21 |
| Dr_willis | different test... | 16:21 |
| Dr_willis | It could be some odd kde/firefox conflict. | 16:21 |
| Lokiase | Dr_willis, no idea how to do that | 16:21 |
| OxDeadC0de | dr_willis my suggestion will get to the core of the problem much more quickly, then he can send his backtrace to the firefox dev team and let them fix it - if an easy local fix isn't possible | 16:21 |
| matisse | Dr_willis, OxDeadC0de: any suggestions expect ubuntuforums ? | 16:22 |
| matisse | except | 16:22 |

| * hannascott pokes DaSkreech | 16:29 | |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: add irc.mozilla.org to your IRC client and join #firefox | 16:30 |
| Lokiase | DaSkreech, i did, but no reaction their | 16:30 |
| Lokiase | there* | 16:30 |
| OxDeadC0de | lokiase I'm trying to get info on how to install debugging symbols for you, sec | 16:30 |
| delicowa | hey do we have google chrome on linux | 16:31 |
| OxDeadC0de | anyone here know if there's a special repository for debug symbols? | 16:31 |
| OxDeadC0de | delicowa they're working on a linux port.. but you can use it in wine i hear | 16:31 |
| kopertonKDE4 | Captain_Haddock: mah | 16:31 |
| Captain_Haddock | delicowa: no and I don't think it runs properly on Wine either | 16:31 |
| DaSkreech | !wifi | zsolti | 16:31 |
| ubottu | zsolti: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:31 |
| Lokiase | but like i said, maybe an upgrade of kde will solve the prob, because kde crashes also... where can i optimize kde? | 16:31 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: Yes? | 16:31 |
| Captain_Haddock | conflicting info :) | 16:31 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: Wait KDE crashes as well? | 16:32 |
| hannascott | DaSkreech: me being annoying, nothing else... | 16:32 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: You are starting to sound very much like hardware issues | 16:32 |
| Lokiase | DaSkreech, it logges me out for no reason | 16:32 |
| Lokiase | not always | 16:32 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: Come to mine arms!! | 16:32 |
| Lokiase | but a lot of times | 16:32 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: Check memory and file system | 16:32 |
| Lokiase | so maybe the kdeprob is not because of firefox but firefox is because of kdeprob | 16:32 |
| DaSkreech | Use a live CD and run fsck and badblocks | 16:32 |
| DaSkreech | then run a memory test | 16:32 |
| DaSkreech | hi courtjesterg | 16:33 |
| mado | oy gals and guys ... | 16:33 |
| courtjesterg | i did a fresh reinstall of the os lets see if the cd/rewrite works | 16:33 |
| Lokiase | DaSkreech, can you repeat please, what do I have to do? | 16:33 |
| DaSkreech | Lokiase: Run the live CD and run sudo fsck and sudo badblocks on your hard drive | 16:34 |
| DaSkreech | the first checks your file system the second checks if the drive is failing | 16:34 |
| Captain_Haddock | is Rubyripper not in the ubuntu repository? | 16:34 |
| Lokiase | ok | 16:34 |
| DaSkreech | then run a memory test which is also on he LIve CD (first menu when you boot up) | 16:34 |
| Lokiase | livecd, so startup kubuntu on cd? | 16:34 |
| Lokiase | and the shell open | 16:35 |
| Lokiase | and the commands | 16:35 |
| Lokiase | correct? | 16:35 |
| mado | i just installed gnome ... and now i face this error-message -> The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". | 16:35 |
| mado | Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration? | 16:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | no lokiase, pop the cd in, reboot, grub will ask you if you want to install, boot to kubuntu live, or run a mem test | 16:35 |
| mado | what should i do? | 16:35 |
| delicowa | ok that's 1 | 16:35 |
| delicowa | 2. how come there are too many complaints about interpid | 16:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | mado does it do it over and over again if you hit reload? You may need gdm to use that feature dunno | 16:36 |
| Lokiase | OxDeadC0de, so boot from cd? | 16:36 |
| holycow | DaSkreech: hallo | 16:36 |
| Captain_Haddock | delicowa: complaints are mainly for KDE 4.1 rather than intrepid as such | 16:36 |
| DaSkreech | holycow: How are you? | 16:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | boot from cd, at the very first screen, hit memtest instead of boot to kubuntu or install kubuntu | 16:36 |
| DaSkreech | delicowa: KDE4 is a big jump. Not everyone was ready | 16:37 |
| mado | erm ... i haven't rebooted yet ... so i don't know ... well ... i choose "don't delete" for the moment and will delete it afterwards if i have to | 16:37 |
| mado | DaSkreech: true words :) | 16:37 |
| kopertonKDE4 | !paste | zsolti | 16:37 |
| ubottu | zsolti: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 16:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | I really don't think kde4 is completely ready, but it's good enough for me and most of us in here I expect | 16:37 |
| courtjesterg | be back later going to dl a few things and research | 16:37 |
| * hannascott looks confused at DaSkreech | 16:38 | |
| Captain_Haddock | OxDeadC0de: agreed.. it's more like a 4.0 beta atm :| | 16:38 |
| DaSkreech | delicowa: Also its the release after a LTS so people are more likely to throw in new things that will break | 16:38 |
| === mdaparte_ is now known as mdaparte | ||
| DaSkreech | Captain_Haddock: How can 4.1 be a beta for 4.0 ? | 16:38 |
| hannascott | DaSkreech: Actually, I was talking to blauzahl about a Jamaican thing... what happened with that... is it still on? | 16:38 |
| OxDeadC0de | captain_haddock hardly :P, in linux a beta is usually fairly stable, alpha is the first release that under windows they'd call "beta" :P | 16:38 |
| aleite | Hello guys... | 16:38 |
| Captain_Haddock | DaSkreech: in terms of its readiness | 16:38 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: | 16:39 |
| Captain_Haddock | OxDeadC0de: heh | 16:39 |
| Captain_Haddock | hi aleite | 16:39 |
| DaSkreech | Yes in Jan all of KDE komes to Jamaica | 16:39 |
| aleite | Do you know if there's a google gadgets repository available for intrepid? | 16:39 |
| DaSkreech | aleite: | 16:39 |
| DaSkreech | Doubt it. | 16:39 |
| DaSkreech | Weeee | 16:40 |
| aleite | I am trying to compile KDE 4.2 trunk with google gadgets support... but didn't want to compile gg itself | 16:40 |
| hannascott | No not again! | 16:40 |
| DaSkreech | aleite: Oh no I think for 4.2 you can KGHNS it | 16:40 |
| hannascott | I really need to help these people out with a server or something... | 16:40 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: What would you like to know about KDE Camp? | 16:40 |
| delicowa | but really I think I should like intrepid and KDE 4 | 16:40 |
| === now is now known as ace46 | ||
| DaSkreech | Captain_Haddock: I dunno I think it's close enough to be considered a .0 release | 16:41 |
| aleite | DaSkreec: yes, there'll be an option to do so.. but you've got to have the libraries.. I thinkl | 16:41 |
| DaSkreech | delicowa: Well then that's fine :) | 16:41 |
| aleite | At least to compile ... :-) | 16:41 |
| DaSkreech | no one is forcing you to stay on hardy or upgrade to ibex | 16:41 |
| DaSkreech | Choose whichever one you like | 16:41 |
| mado | i'll be back | 16:41 |
| delicowa | but 1 probs its still in download (I have got a slow internet around here) | 16:41 |
| DaSkreech | aleite: You are following the KDE4 techbase article ? | 16:42 |
| hannascott | DaSkreech: Well I was just curious, I heard rumours it was off... for some... financial bit... but... I must have got it wrong | 16:42 |
| DaSkreech | delicowa: Ouch Maybe you can find someone with the DVD? | 16:42 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: Rumours are not greatly exaggereted :-) | 16:42 |
| aleite | Yep, I did.. compiled GG ... but didn't work.. tried #plasma but nobody seems to answer.. :D | 16:42 |
| DaSkreech | but everything worked out | 16:42 |
| DaSkreech | aleite: Wait a few hours | 16:42 |
| OxDeadC0de | aleite: try ./configure --disable-werror | 16:42 |
| DaSkreech | they get right chatty right quick | 16:43 |
| * hannascott goes back to hiding in #kde-cafe | 16:43 | |

| hannascott | DaSkreech: naa... it is too... you know... | 16:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | delicowa: there's likely to be a LUG (Linux Users Group) in your city that might be able to help | 16:44 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: Yeah I do :) | 16:44 |
| DaSkreech | hannascott: If you want to know more though we have a IRC chan at #campkde | 16:44 |
| hannascott | DaSkreech: oh... kinky | 16:45 |
| delicowa | I suppose but I can't find any | 16:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | DaSkreech: when basic things such as keyboard shortcuts etc. aren't addressed, it can't claim release status IMO | 16:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | 4.1 also nuked all my former shortcuts :/ | 16:46 |
| DaSkreech | Captain_Haddock: Which keyboard shortcuts ? | 16:46 |
| delicowa | well out here in nigeria we don't have lots of linux users | 16:46 |
| DaSkreech | Captain_Haddock: ow >_< | 16:46 |
| OxDeadC0de | lol I get all excited about a LUG in my area, only to find their webpage is gone and they havn't met in over a year :O yay | 16:46 |
| Captain_Haddock | DaSkreech: custom global shortcuts... mainly mimicking windows | 16:47 |
| DaSkreech | OxDeadC0de: Restart it | 16:47 |
| Captain_Haddock | delicowa: you might be surprised... if you have a university / college nearby, you should snoop around there | 16:47 |
| Captain_Haddock | OxDeadC0de: heh | 16:48 |
| matisse | how do I remove package which aren't needed by others ? | 16:48 |
| Captain_Haddock | delicowa: you're aware that you can get the install CD mailed to you? | 16:48 |
| Captain_Haddock | not sure about the DVD | 16:48 |
| Captain_Haddock | matisse: type sudo apt-get to see all the available options | 16:49 |
| matisse | synaptic also shows dependencies of packages which aren't even installed | 16:49 |
| OxDeadC0de | you can get the dvd too but that one costs money and the only real benefit is having all languages available on the dvd | 16:49 |
| Captain_Haddock | autoremove and autoclean are probably of interest :) | 16:49 |
| matisse | Captain_Haddock: but i think it will remove my xmms... | 16:50 |
| === Czessi__ is now known as Czessi | ||
| matisse | no, not xmms, but beep-media-player | 16:51 |
| Captain_Haddock | if you do a sudo apt-get upgrade or similar, it usually lists unwanted packages IIRC | 16:52 |
| matisse | yeah | 16:52 |
| matisse | you're rigth | 16:52 |

| OxDeadC0de | DaSkreech oh, didn't know that | 16:53 |
| Captain_Haddock | not terribly active mailing lists... but you might get a response.. they also mention meetings | 16:53 |
| DaSkreech | and DVDs? :) | 16:54 |
| mngoldeneagle | Hi... I'm having difficulties getting Ubuntu to work on my computer. Whenever I log into the GUI, the screen goes all black. I've tried upgrading and removing FGLRX entirely, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? | 16:54 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoldeneagle goes all black? Does KDM/GDM show the login screen? | 16:55 |
| Captain_Haddock | ubuntu or kubuntu? | 16:55 |
| === vorian is now known as stevie | ||
| mngoldeneagle | KDM shows the login screen, then it goes black. The sounds play normally and the menu kinda responds in that I can see white boxes appear from the transition effects. | 16:55 |
| mngoldeneagle | Kubuntu. | 16:56 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoldeneagle try alt+shift+f12 if you have quick access to it, to disable compositing | 16:56 |
| === isaac_ is now known as isaacj87 | ||
| mngoldeneagle | Alright, let me give that a shot. | 16:56 |
| isaacj87 | Tm_T: Hey, you in here? | 16:56 |
| matisse | whats the difference between remove and totally remove ? (synaptic) Maybe its remove and purge in English... don't know | 16:56 |
| SlimeyPete | purge will remove all configuration files as well, matisse | 16:57 |
| DaSkreech | matisse: Korrekt | 16:57 |
| matisse | ok, thx | 16:57 |
| mngoldeneagle | 0xDeadC0de: When do I press ALT+SHIFT+F12? At the login screen or at the black screen? | 16:58 |
| eraco | can someone help me with my eeepc? where can i download the madwifi thing? | 16:58 |
| karan | i extracted a TAR.BZ2 type of file using tar xjvf file .bz2 then after that wat should i do to install the package on my comp | 16:58 |

| matisse | and how do I purge packages which are already removed ? :D | 16:58 |
| SlimeyPete | karan: there'll probably be a README | 16:59 |
| Captain_Haddock | matisse: install again and purge, I believe | 16:59 |
| SlimeyPete | karan: the installation process changes depending on what you're installing and how. Was the package not available in Adept? | 16:59 |
| matisse | damn | 16:59 |
| mngoldeneagle | 0xDeadC0de: I tried the sequence after the login finished, but I'm not seeing any effects. Screen is still black and the menu still... well, odd. | 16:59 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoleneagle, does it work properly for new users (Try making a test user)? | 17:00 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoldeneagle* /\ | 17:00 |
| Captain_Haddock | mngoldeneagle: try ctrl + alt + F1 , F2 and so on... one of them usually works... | 17:01 |
| mngoldeneagle | Captain_Haddock: I'm using the Terminal on TTY1 at the moment in order to talk in here. F7 is the one for the GUI, and that's the one with the black screen and mouse pointer. | 17:01 |
| Captain_Haddock | cool | 17:02 |
| karan | i extracted a TAR.BZ2 type of file using tar xjvf file .bz2 then after that wat should i do to install the package on my comp | 17:02 |
| SlimeyPete | karan: I just answered you | 17:02 |
| SlimeyPete | read the RE | 17:02 |
| Captain_Haddock | mngoldeneagle: is this a post install issue or was the system working fine until now? | 17:02 |
| SlimeyPete | read the README or INSTALL file which was in the archive | 17:02 |
| mngoldeneagle | 0xDeadC0de: How do I create a new user at the command line? ... and force KDE to log out of the current user, since I can't see what I'm doing in there? | 17:02 |
| SlimeyPete | karan: why are you using a tar.bz2 by the way? Was the software not available in Adept? | 17:03 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoldeneagle adduser command, and switch to kde and press control+alt+backspace to kill that session | 17:03 |
| mngoldeneagle | Captain_Haddock: This was after a large update a few weeks ago. Initial install was fine. | 17:03 |
| Captain_Haddock | and it's been like this ever since the update? (I take it that this wasn't the upgrade to 8.10) | 17:04 |

| courtjesterg | philips pcrw804 using k3b it sees the drive ok but i think the problem now lies in it caan't read or reconize a disk/media is in the drive anybody have any insight on this? tryed to make a copy disk when i go into that screen says insert media waas done over again can't even press ok | 17:05 |

| Captain_Haddock | courtjesterg: heh | 17:09 |
| mngoldeneagle | 0xDeadC0de: Okay, it appears the test user can log in fine. It's just my username that's screwed up. | 17:09 |
| courtjesterg | how do i check with a boot cd? | 17:09 |
| Captain_Haddock | mngoldeneagle: you could try renaming the .kde directory in your home directory and re-login | 17:10 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoldeneagle that's what I'd suggest too, mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-old | 17:10 |
| Captain_Haddock | courtjesterg: boot with a live CD for e.g., and see if it works | 17:10 |
| courtjesterg | ok is the live cd the cd i used to install kubuntu on my harddrive? | 17:11 |
| Captain_Haddock | and check your BIOS as well to see if it's detected properly | 17:11 |
| Captain_Haddock | courtjesterg: very likely | 17:11 |
| courtjesterg | ohh the bios has it detected ;) | 17:11 |
| Captain_Haddock | good :) | 17:11 |
| courtjesterg | but is the live cd the same cd i used to install the os on my harddrive | 17:11 |
| OxDeadC0de | 11.6gb, that's how much software I have installed, yeesh | 17:12 |
| sakis | kanenas elinas re pedia?????????? | 17:12 |
| Captain_Haddock | yes, but you won't be installing anything this time.. just checking to see if your CD drive works | 17:12 |

| dromer | hmmm, so weird X can't detect my tv anymore :/ | 17:13 |
| Captain_Haddock | courtjesterg: yep - make sure that it's not a hardware issue | 17:13 |
| mngoldeneagle | 0xDeadC0de: Didn't seem to affect anything... should I also rename the .kde4 folder? | 17:13 |
| courtjesterg | me ccd-rom and cd/rewrite are two seperate drives | 17:13 |
| courtjesterg | ok | 17:13 |
| OxDeadC0de | mngoldeneagle give it a try | 17:13 |

| kieeeren | Hi, my laptop crashed and now I get Kernel panic - not syncing | 17:28 |
| kieeeren | How can I boot using a live CD? | 17:28 |
| kieeeren | I thought that it didn't read the HDD at all | 17:28 |
| OxDeadC0de | kieeeren the most common way is to go into the bios, set the cdrom as the first boot device, pop in the cd, boot | 17:29 |
| kieeeren | Yeah, I understand that - but the kernel panic stops the CD from booting | 17:29 |
| kieeeren | I've tried DSL and Ubuntu | 17:30 |

| kopertonKDE4 | yuriy: mm i have not effects and i don't want them | 17:33 |
| yuriy | kopertonKDE4: no effects, no transparency | 17:33 |
| kieeeren | yeah | 17:33 |
| kopertonKDE4 | omg kde4 sucks | 17:34 |
| kieeeren | it's either 512 of 1gb, can't remember | 17:34 |

| noaXess | what about if i upgrade to 8.10.. will the current kde4 be removed and the 8.10 integrated kde4 installed? | 17:35 |
| kopertonKDE4 | BluesKaj: mm well maybe on kde3 that was the correct way but on kde4 it seems not correct i hope i am saying a wrong thing | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | kopertonKDE4: I'm on kde4 and it works on my setup | 17:36 |
| kopertonKDE4 | right button and you can set trasparent stuff? | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | no , if you want to get rid of transparency | 17:37 |
| kopertonKDE4 | well i found my way | 17:39 |
| kopertonKDE4 | i have used transset 0.5 | 17:39 |
| noaXess | has anybody upgraded to 8.10 with installed 8.04 and kde4 remix? | 17:41 |
| noaXess | will all the kde4 stuff be removed fomr /usr/lib/kde4.. and the user profile? | 17:41 |

| noaXess | if i have installed kde4 on my 8.04.. is it better to remove kde4 before upgrading to 8.10? | 17:48 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure it matters... You will lose kde3 in the upgrade. | 17:49 |
| Dr_willis | if you want you could remove it I guess | 17:49 |
| noaXess | Dr_willis: will kde4 for 8.04 be autom. removed with the upgrade | 17:50 |
| noaXess | ? | 17:50 |

| DaSkreech | Shouldn't I have a PDF printer By default? | 17:54 |
| OxDeadC0de | bah printers, that's the one thing I really dislike about linux, support for printers is more than mildly lacking in the user friendly arena every time I've tried | 17:55 |
| OxDeadC0de | but ya daskreech, I have a pdf printer, but I upgraded from 8.04 gnome to 8.10 then installed kde | 17:55 |

| delicowa | yup what is it...beside I gues that's why this is kubuntu chanell | 18:09 |
| Lan|Around | Hehe. Well, I installed Kubuntu yesterday and everything works smoothly. My question is about my microphone. It seems to recognise my microphone, something Ubuntu didn't, but it doesn't record anything. I think it might be a volume problem. | 18:10 |
| Lan|Around | I'm trying to use Skype by the way. I have kmiix and have set all the mic uptions to full sound. | 18:10 |
| Lan|Around | I don't know what else to do. | 18:10 |
| Lan|Around | Sorry for the typo's, I type way too fast. | 18:11 |
| DaSkreech | Try record with something else I guess | 18:12 |

| peratu | How I can install the new 8.10? | 19:12 |
| fyn | So intrepid went well. Old fglrx with the old kernel was working. Put the new kernel and new fglrx (8.11) but now the module is missing a symbol miZeroLineScreenIndex .... anyone have a workaround for this? (fglrx 8.11) | 19:13 |

| peratu | SimplySeth, i don't want to upgrade my system from 8.04. I want intall the new 8.10 from scratch :-) | 19:14 |
| courtjesterg | envy what ios envy for when i first started this os someone directed envy for my graphics card? But adept has all drivers so why go to envy? | 19:14 |
| peratu | SimplySeth, because I have more machines with the same hardware configuration, and I have the same error in each one :-) | 19:15 |

| ubuntu-dron | please share a link to nvidia bug discussion on KDE | 20:15 |
| * locke xz | 20:16 | |
| DaSkreech | Cyborg_NRW: Have you checked in #winehq ? | 20:17 |
| ubuntu-dron | I've just discovered one interesting thing | 20:17 |
| Cyborg_NRW | no.. because i think its a driver problem... glxinfo tell me that direct rendering is disabled | 20:17 |
| ubuntu-dron | while OOo opened the whole the desktop and applet begins to flicker, but it doesn't affect Lancelot, yet the problem is severe for app-launcher plasmoid | 20:18 |
| ubuntu-dron | any thoughts on that point? | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu-dron: Are you opening a OpenGL enabled ODF? | 20:21 |
| ubuntu-dron | no, yet OGL is enabled in OOo | 20:21 |
| ubuntu-dron | DaSkreech: in fact, disabling OpenGL within OOo doesn't solve the flickering | 20:23 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu-dron: Can I clear up something? As long as OOo is opened that happens or only while it's opening ? | 20:24 |
| ubuntu-dron | DaSkreech: as long as OOo is opened, it was suggested, that that was a bug within the nvidia proprietary driver | 20:25 |
| ubuntu-dron | DaSkreech: But only now I've discovered, that it doesn't in fact affect Lancelot | 20:26 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu-dron: Oh Ahmm. I'm figuring if you disable overlays or DRI it will stop that | 20:26 |
| mario | hi guys i have been a week trying to ad osx over grub, does any body work with that before | 20:26 |
| === linuxwizard_ is now known as linuxwizard | ||
| ubuntu-dron | DaSkreech: But then, I presume, no direct rendering is admitted | 20:27 |
| DaSkreech | mario: Sorry? | 20:27 |
| DaSkreech | you want to dual boot between OSX and Linux ? | 20:27 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu-dron: Right but I have no idea if that's the right answer I'm just proposing an avenue for a work around | 20:28 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about refit | 20:28 |
| DaSkreech | mario: You are looking for refit not grub it's much better | 20:28 |
| mario | i installer kubuntu, windows xp and osx, windows and linux are workin fine, but the grub doesn't recognize the osx for that | 20:29 |
| mario | reason the osx does't start up | 20:29 |
| DaSkreech | try refit it will swap between The OSX bootloader and Linux | 20:29 |
| mario | i red a lot on internet, and made every thing that people say but noting good | 20:29 |
| DaSkreech | Linux will then swap between Linux and WIndows | 20:30 |

| Pentaho-Nick | Anyone else having trouble upgrading kdelibs5? I'm getting a conflict that I can't track down | 21:04 |
| TEUTATEX | hello | 21:04 |
| pucko- | pentaho-nick, are you upgrading from hardy? | 21:05 |
| Chunky | What is exactly the glx extension? is it possible to upgrade glx from 1.2 to 1.3 on a GMA 950 graphic card? | 21:05 |
| Pentaho-Nick | Yea going Intrepid | 21:06 |
| Chunky | Or is it an hardware feature? | 21:06 |
| robin_ | hey is anyone gaming on lynux | 21:06 |
| Chunky | I'm totally confused with that... | 21:06 |
| pucko- | pentaho-nick, I had problem with kdelibs too on that upgrade. what exactly does it say? | 21:06 |
| Chunky | robin_: yep: wc3 wow | 21:06 |
| robin_ | is it working properly? | 21:06 |
| Chunky | robin_: perfectly | 21:07 |
| robin_ | with wine? | 21:07 |
| JontheEchidna | Chunky: It's a graphics driver feature that directly implements 3D acceleration | 21:07 |
| JontheEchidna | or, basically the driver's 3D implemetation | 21:07 |
| Pentaho-Nick | It's saying BREAK (upgrade) in adept, but all the conflicts it lists it seems to replace as well | 21:08 |
| Pentaho-Nick | I don't know the apt-get switch to get verbose | 21:08 |
| szrhawaii | how do i save a file as a xpm file | 21:08 |
| szrhawaii | or how do i make one at that | 21:08 |
| TEUTATEX | installing kubuntu for the first time to my laptop. works with wireless broadband stick? | 21:09 |
| Pentaho-Nick | The following packages have been kept back: | 21:10 |
| Pentaho-Nick | kde4libs-bin kdelibs5 | 21:10 |
| Chunky | JontheEchidna: ok. Thanks for the info. | 21:10 |
| Smittie | Can someone help me? I need to change my monitor resolution to 1920x1080. Was trying from xorg.conf, but with no luck | 21:11 |
| atom^x | DaSkreech -> the text is there, sort of... it is behind the dialog box that opens. you can see it there briefly | 21:12 |
| pucko- | pentaho-nick, don't know much about adept, I think I solved it by temporarily removing some package it complained about (and reinstalling it after upgrade)... but I think runnig apt-get dist-upgrade gives you more information. not sure how to solve it in your case though | 21:12 |
| DaSkreech | atom^x: Are the menus black? | 21:13 |
| atom^x | no, they look normal... | 21:13 |
| Pentaho-Nick | Thanks Pucko. I ran that earlier from apt-get and this is where I'm at. I'll manually remove the conflicting packages as you have suggested | 21:13 |
| atom^x | 7.10 was great, then i thought i would upgrade and everything went to heck... Killed the upgrade formated and did fresh install same thing | 21:15 |
| Chunky | I cannot find anything about the support of glx 1.3 by intel GMA 950 chipsets... | 21:15 |
| Chunky | Currently searching on intel website. Can anyone with a gma 950 chipset tell me his/her version of glx? | 21:17 |
| Linuturk | how do I mount a floppy? It isn't showing up in removable storage | 21:18 |
| szrhawaii | how do i make a so splash file | 21:18 |
| DaSkreech | atom^x: you upgraded from 7.10 to 8.10 ? | 21:19 |
| atom^x | 7.10 ->8.04 ->8.10 but i killed that and did a fresh install of 8.10 but it has same exact problems with the text | 21:20 |
| atom^x | even used a different HD to install 8.10 | 21:21 |
| === martin__ is now known as mhd720 | ||
| JontheEchidna | atom^x: what drivers are you using? | 21:21 |
| atom^x | video? nvidia | 21:22 |
| JontheEchidna | There is a known issue with the nvidia legacy drivers and text rendering | 21:22 |
| Linuturk | how do i access a floppy? | 21:23 |
| JontheEchidna | it's a regression in the new beta drivers, which unfortunately are required to be able to work with the kernel | 21:23 |
| sourcemaker | what is a akonadi resource in kontact? | 21:23 |
| atom^x | it is the newest one released | 21:23 |
| atom^x | 96.something | 21:23 |
| JontheEchidna | atom^x: yes, that's the driver affected | 21:23 |
| JontheEchidna | if you turn off desktop effects text should come back to most apps | 21:24 |
| JontheEchidna | except for Wine | 21:24 |
| atom^x | will try that! | 21:24 |
| DaSkreech | Linuturk: You can mount it with sudo mount /dev/floppy /path/to/empty/dir | 21:25 |
| DaSkreech | sourcemaker: a link to the akonadi database anythign saved there can be seen by any Akonadi app It's quite neat | 21:25 |
| Linuturk | DaSkreech: and if /dev/floppy isn't there ;( | 21:26 |
| atom^x | well, heck... that was it. | 21:26 |
| SimplySeth | Linuturk: /dev/fd0 ? | 21:26 |
| Linuturk | nope, a directory /dev/fd is there | 21:26 |
| sourcemaker | DaSkreech: it is stable to use? can I replace for example a vcard resource woth akonadi? | 21:26 |
| JontheEchidna | yup, hopefully nvidia fixes the problem before the next stable driver release | 21:26 |
| Linuturk | and it has a bunch of numbers under it | 21:26 |
| atom^x | where did you find that info at? | 21:26 |
| JontheEchidna | I ran into the bug myself ;) | 21:26 |

| jcd | hi guys, I have a little trouble with Intrepid on one of my systems and I'd like to ask if you have some hint on where I should look for to solve it. | 21:42 |
| jcd | So here is the deal. My system used to run hardy kde 3.5 quite well. | 21:42 |
| jcd | I even tested KDE4 on it and it was working mostly OK even if there were some application missing in order to swithch to it. | 21:43 |
| DaSkreech | *cough* BasKet | 21:43 |
| jcd | Now this same system will boot the Intrepid CD OK and get to the KDE desktop | 21:44 |
| sjdurfey | ahh, i just started using BasKet! | 21:44 |

| vorian | PriceChild: yep | 21:46 |

| szrhawaii | its just a icon | 22:09 |
| szrhawaii | im not changing nothing but that | 22:10 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: The system is "working" but due to the display going black for few sec any time I try to interact with it, it is not easy to use. But no crash ar anything like that as far as I can tell | 22:10 |
| szrhawaii | i would like one that looks better though | 22:10 |
| szrhawaii | which i have but i cant find the file anymore | 22:10 |
| szrhawaii | ive changed it before | 22:10 |
| DaSkreech | jcd: Turn off Desktop effects | 22:11 |
| szrhawaii | if i remember correctly its in the same spot the wireless icon is in | 22:11 |
| szrhawaii | anyone know where that is | 22:11 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: I don't think I have any Desktop effect turned on | 22:11 |
| DaSkreech | jcd: It's on by default. Press alt+f3 -> properties | 22:12 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: Done, still same behavior. Note that my graphic is low end 2D graphic from SIS. | 22:13 |
| DaSkreech | Ugh sis | 22:13 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: Well this is my motherboard built in graphic | 22:14 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: well I am not user I tuened off anything yet. What is the way to turn evrything off through tthe menu | 22:15 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: on the configuration pannel, all desktop effect are off | 22:16 |
| jcd | and they are off by default (because of my low end graphic maybe) | 22:17 |
| jcd | this low end graphic was working OK on KDE 3.5 and it runs OK on Intrepid if I switch to XFCE for example. | 22:18 |
| nemco | #kubuntu-es | 22:18 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: actually it seems I can't activate desktop effect on my system. Is KDE4 unable to work on relatively low end graphic boards | 22:22 |
| Dr_willis | basically yes... | 22:23 |
| jcd | basicallt, it can or it can not ... | 22:23 |
| Dr_willis | KDE has much higher video demands | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis | 4>3 | 22:24 |
| jcd | yes I understand this but I was expecting it would still work if effects were disabled. | 22:25 |
| jcd | I don't want to add a graphic board when I don't really plan to use any 3D graphic effects. I am using my system for anything but 3D | 22:26 |
| trappist | anybody else seen this? I went with compiz instead of the kde4 effects. if I have kontact on one side of the cube and firefox on another, and click a link in, say, akregator, it works but firefox jumps to the same desktop as kontact. it didn't do this in hardy. | 22:26 |

| DaSkreech | jcd: Probably an Xorg issue with graphics | 22:34 |
| DaSkreech | jcd: You can take it up in #plasma for a more direct answer | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 22:35 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: The system is still running OK on XFCE so Xorg seems OK even if its interaction with KDE4 is not | 22:36 |
| jcd | But I'll try #plasma | 22:36 |
| DaSkreech | jcd: I know but KDE4 does things no one else does | 22:36 |
| Dr_willis | plus kde4 isent super optmized yet | 22:36 |
| DaSkreech | There were a lot of patches to xorg based on things that KDE4 did | 22:36 |
| DaSkreech | Some drivers still have not caught up | 22:36 |
| DaSkreech | Dr_willis: And that | 22:36 |
| DaSkreech | jcd: If for nothing else so the devs know about your issues and to help write a good bug report #plasma may be helpful | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | does anyone have the issue where the system slowly grinds to a stop but if you leave it alone for a little while it is ok? | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | its really random. Im running kde 4.1 with fluxbox 1.0 | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | it happened when i was running compiz but fluxbox is exactly the same | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | or is this a kde 4.1 feature? | 22:39 |
| dragoon | hey i try to install winrar but im lost | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | wine winrarinstaller.exe | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | or wahtever its called. | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | Ive used winrar with wine.. its worked decently well | 22:40 |
| DaSkreech | !rar | 22:40 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 22:40 |
| dragoon | ok | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | or use the native rar commands..but i have had better luck with winrar. | 22:40 |
| sFEARs | is there a way have compiz enable the negative plug in on all windows? | 22:40 |
| * DaSkreech shrugs | 22:41 | |
| Dr_willis | sFEARs, the ADHD plugin does that sort of.. it dims the other windows.. Negative plug can do the whold screen also.. check the hotkeys for it | 22:41 |
| DaSkreech | Look at the ccsm help | 22:41 |
| * Dr_willis dosnet know WHY one would want to do that... | 22:41 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 22:41 |
| Dr_willis | it makes your videos look funny | 22:41 |
| sFEARs | that's not exactally what i'm looking for.. the screen negative includes the desktop.. i just want the windows | 22:42 |
| * ActionParsnip is confused by anyone installing winrar | 22:42 | |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: once you have suitable rar stuffs, ark can then open them | 22:42 |
| sFEARs | Dr_willis, with opacity set to "class=any" at 85% when you negate the window it turns crystal clear | 22:43 |
| dragoon | ActionParsnip: i do this i extract it but no ./configure | 22:43 |
| Dr_willis | So? :) | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: extract what? | 22:43 |
| sFEARs | so i want it to negate all the windows at once | 22:43 |
| dragoon | ActionParsnip: winrar | 22:43 |
| * Dr_willis scoffs at eye candy! :) except for the compiz zoom feature... wife likes that one. | 22:43 | |
| sFEARs | scoff away then | 22:44 |
| Dr_willis | I run the winrar executable/isntaller i download from the rarsoft web site | 22:44 |
| sFEARs | Dr_willis, if you wanted to zoom every window how would you do it? | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: you dont need it | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | sFEARs, the zoom feature does basicially zoom in on eery wndow.. | 22:45 |
| dragoon | ActionParsnip: umm what i need to do after ark open it ? | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | wife uses it so she dont need to go get her glasses. :) | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: sudo apt-get install rar | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Compiz is working with my 2 monitors.. nifty | 22:45 |
| dragoon | so easyli | 22:46 |
| dragoon | ActionParsnip: easily | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: then use: unrar e rarfile.rar | 22:46 |
| Dr_willis | I have seen some rar archives that unrar does not like.. had to use winrar.exe on them | 22:46 |
| dragoon | ActionParsnip: ok thanks | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: you dont need winrar in linux, rar is standard | 22:47 |
| dragoon | ok but i got a image in .00 .01 .02 | 22:47 |
| dragoon | rar.01 rar.02 | 22:47 |
| dragoon | i can open it with rar ? | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | extraxt the first one... | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | it will auto-read the rest as needed | 22:48 |
| dragoon | ok | 22:48 |
| dragoon | whit rar ? | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | Logical eh? | 22:48 |
| DaSkreech | jcd: What drivers do you have installed? | 22:48 |
| Dr_willis | unrar e whatever.r00 | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: just point it to the first one, the rest is handled automatically | 22:48 |
| dragoon | ok and what i can burn a imin linux ?age | 22:49 |
| dragoon | oups | 22:49 |
| dragoon | image * | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoon: whats the image file name? | 22:50 |
| dragoon | .iso | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !burning | dragoon | 22:51 |

| emma | when I try to install the fglrx i get a screen on my monitory that the resolution frequency is too high, and the only way I can save it is doing a restore of X. | 22:51 |
| emma | could anyone tell me how to fix it, i happen to know what my frequencies should be for this monitor | 22:52 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: It behave like that when running from the CD. So whatever is on the CD is not working correctly on my system. | 22:52 |
| jcd | DaSkreech: BTW, I tried to install to disk and force VESA driver and the like with the same kind of behavior | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | emma | 22:54 |
| ubottu | emma: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: to restore the xorg.conf to failsafe boot to grub menu and choose failsafe, you can then restore the file to failsafe | 22:55 |
| emma | ActionParsnip: I don't want to restore X I want to be able to use fglrx :) | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: try making the frequencies slightly less than what you know they are | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: or start low and crank up | 22:56 |
| emma | I don't know where to set the frequences. | 22:56 |
| emma | When I install the fglrx driver it must be setting them some place but I don't know where or how to alter it. | 22:56 |

| emma | When I install fglrx with the hardware drivers thing, i don't see any changes like that in xorg.conf | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: you need to add some refresh rates to your xorg.conf | 23:11 |
| emma | yeah how do i do that? | 23:11 |
| emma | ActionParsnip: but are you sure that ubuntu intrepid even cares about xorg.conf anymore? | 23:11 |
| emma | ubuntu does not care about xorg.conf anymore when I tried to make my mouse work. | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: for vga drivers it is still used | 23:11 |
| emma | Ubuntu decided that people should not be able to use xorg.conf any more to make stuff work. | 23:11 |

| emma | ActionParsnip: okay that sounds promising. | 23:12 |
| emma | i wish that ubuntu made it mroe clear which parts of xorg.conf are still working and how to make stuff that used to work work. | 23:13 |
| emma | I am not sure why ubuntu broke xorg.conf. It confuses me. | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: sudo apt-get --reinstall install kubuntu-desktop | 23:13 |
| ptl | ubuntu: do you have apt on your system? as root, connect to the internet, mount your drive in /some/partition, then chroot /some/partition, and aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu:boot to root cosole via grub menu for your krenls recovery mode | 23:14 |
| ubuntu | ActionParsnip: cheers, when I try this though it gives me Aptitude error 100 or something similar | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: if you can get the exact error I can diagnose | 23:15 |
| ubuntu | oh and my wireless connection fails to boot so when it goes to try update the packages etc it can't :( | 23:15 |
| ubuntu | are you familiar with aptitude and 100? | 23:15 |
| ubuntu | Im pretty sure thats all it gave me | 23:15 |
| emma | ActionParsnip: do you think I can put in the horz and vert stuff without any of that other information? | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: i'd chroot as ptl says then, or add your install cd as a repo and use that | 23:16 |
| ubuntu | I selected the kubuntu desktop in tasksel but the not able to download files thing got in the way | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: its worth a try, backup the old xorg.conf first so you can roll back | 23:16 |
| ubuntu | is there a way to restore it from within this live session I am running at the moment | 23:16 |
| emma | ActionParsnip: on that linuxforum the section is called 'monitor' and in the xorg.conf on kubuntu it says 'screen'. | 23:16 |
| ubuntu | aha | 23:16 |
| ubuntu | how do I add the disc as a repo from command? | 23:16 |
| emma | ActionParsnip: there's nothing in there to save. It's like ubuntu literally destroyed xorg.conf there's nothing in it. | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: no, there is a monitor and a video device which get combined to make a screen | 23:17 |
| emma | okay so you just put stuff in screen. | 23:17 |
| ptl | ubuntu: apt-cdrom add | 23:17 |

| ptl | inkscape is awesome | 23:36 |
| ptl | but it's different from gimp | 23:36 |
| ptl | because it deals primarily with vectors, not bitmaps. | 23:36 |

| ptl | courtjesterg: if you need professional-qualityf bitmap-editting though, I'd recommend learn a bit more about gimp. It's way more powerful than krita, and although it has a weird way of doing things - takes some time to get used to - it pays the effort. | 23:44 |

| courtjesterg | back in ny now | 23:45 |
| courtjesterg | even lived in sc | 23:45 |
| ptl | courtjesterg: like those kung fu monks says in movies, you'll have to unlearn what you have learnt | 23:45 |
| courtjesterg | recently i purchased courtjesterg.com it is parked at this time | 23:46 |
| emma | Maybe I just have to buy a different video card in order to properly use Linux? | 23:46 |

| ptl | emma: no | 23:46 |
| courtjesterg | peace niggers | 23:47 |
| emma | ptl: yeah I think so because you can't use fglrx with kubuntu. | 23:47 |
| nejode | emma: you tried using the "ati" driver?... it has 3D accel | 23:48 |
| emma | isn't the ati driver fglrx or do you mean the default open one? | 23:48 |
| tacosarecool | I'm just wondering why in 8.10 stickam isn | 23:48 |
| tacosarecool | 't acting like it should | 23:48 |
| ptl | emma: you're having some difficulties, I see, and I am sorry for being unable to help more, but I know lots of people which use fglrx successfully with Ubuntu | 23:48 |
| tacosarecool | I use successfully just not in the proper way lol | 23:49 |
| ptl | successfully --> with acceleration and everything else | 23:49 |
| emma | ptl: Yeah I know. It mysterious to me why things would be so fickle. What makes it work for one person but not for another? | 23:49 |
| tacosarecool | I mean games work with the drivers | 23:49 |
| tacosarecool | So yeah | 23:49 |
| nyp4life | emma: i couldn't set up fglrx either.. i tried the 'ati' driver but it wasn't that great.. im using 'radeonhd' driver now it looks a lot better but i still cant get Desktop Effects to work | 23:49 |
| nejode | emma: it depends on the type of card, anything below radeon 9500 or X600 are not supported by the fglrx driver in intrepid | 23:50 |
| nyp4life | try downloading and using 'radeonhd' if 'ati' doesn't work right | 23:50 |
| emma | nejode: I have this card... | 23:50 |
| tacosarecool | Mines working fine and I'm on x300 | 23:50 |
| emma | 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] | 23:50 |
| emma | nejode: ^ | 23:50 |
| tacosarecool | Maybe not in the hardware testing but it's working fine | 23:50 |
| nejode | emma: let me check the release notes | 23:50 |
| emma | Is that one not supported by the fglrx driver in intrepid? | 23:51 |
| emma | nyp4life: yeah it's odd right? | 23:51 |
| emma | I don't mind having to buy another video card, maybe my hardware is just too old for a more modern OS like kubuntu. | 23:51 |
| nyp4life | its annyoying.. not odd.. lol i was trying for weeks.. now i just gave up | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: old hardware works great in ubuntu | 23:52 |
| emma | hm, not my video card. | 23:52 |
| tacosarecool | Get the drivers from hardware drivers | 23:52 |
| tacosarecool | In the kmenu | 23:52 |
| emma | I did. | 23:52 |
| emma | I install the fglrx and then it says you must restart the system, so I do that, and then my monitor says, 'your frequency is too high'. And does not let me do anything else. | 23:53 |
| nyp4life | mine just says 'no signal' after installing | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | emma: you could always use envyng-qt as a last ditch | 23:54 |
| nyp4life | i tried with Hardware Drivers, tried from ATI site.. tried manually configuring xorg.conf.. tried compiling the driver with the hundreds of manuals online.. couldnt get it to work.. tried envy too | 23:54 |
| emma | nyp4life: that's pretty frustrating. | 23:55 |
| nyp4life | emma: lol yes it is | 23:55 |
| emma | ubuntu really does not work well with ATi I think. | 23:55 |
| naught101 | is touchpad scrolling working in firefox for anyone in kubuntu ibex? | 23:55 |
| nejode | emma: try the ati or the radeonhd driver, at least you'll have decent resolution and time to investigate further | 23:55 |
| nyp4life | but try them all if you haven't already.. one of them might work for u.. it does for others so.. | 23:55 |
| naught101 | oh, never mind | 23:55 |
| ptl | that's why you should fight against proprieraty drivers | 23:55 |
| emma | nejode: I thikn it must be using the ati one by default right? I mean, I am using kubuntu right now. Some kind of driver is giving me some video. | 23:56 |
| nyp4life | emma: also search google with your screen's model name and xorg.conf.. (ex. search for: acer al2216w xorg.conf) | 23:56 |
| ptl | when I had an ATI, I had one that was supported (with 3D!) by the open-source driver. It was fast, reliable and needed no configuration or struggle, it was just autodetected and setup. | 23:56 |
| emma | there must be some kind of open ati driver that is put on by default. | 23:56 |
| emma | okay | 23:57 |
| nyp4life | hopefully some recommended settings will come up and try to use this | 23:57 |
| nyp4life | those* | 23:57 |
| nejode | emma: co to system settings>display>hardware and see what driver you're using right now | 23:57 |
| nejode | *go | 23:57 |
| emma | nejode: there is no option for hardware in display | 23:59 |
