| fireball | sounds like meybe graphics driver? I'm no xpert | 02:18 |
| mrksbrd | maybe, they said there are a few glitches w/ nvidia cards | 02:19 |
| fireball | truth. You need to have the unrestricted repositories marked | 02:20 |
| fireball | or try the "envy" package | 02:20 |
| mrksbrd | already done | 02:20 |
| fireball | including envy? | 02:21 |
| mrksbrd | not envy yet | 02:21 |

| Lindows1 | okay, so I have kubuntu 8.1 mostly work, except, when I log in, it asks for ksudo for every single thing that loads... | 04:16 |
| Lindows1 | how do I fix that? | 04:16 |
| groms | Hi. what are ide harddisks in kubuntu's livecd? | 04:17 |
| Lindows1 | I think /dev/sda? | 04:17 |
| groms | Lindows1: were you previously running anything as root? it will load kdesu if you are resuming a previous session in that case. | 04:18 |
| groms | no i don't have any sd* or hd* devices | 04:18 |
| groms | oh wait i do have sda. | 04:19 |
| david | how do you activate restricted drivers in 4.1? | 04:19 |

| Lindows1 | how do I change the permissions back? | 04:19 |

| tuanpham | hi all | 04:21 |
| tuanpham | a question for new day | 04:21 |
| Lindows1 | I have to say, 8.1 was the worst release ever | 04:21 |
| groms | also, i haven't used sudo... is there a way to get a pseudo-root user at least to prevent typing sudo a thousand times? | 04:21 |
| Lindows1 | broke just about everything | 04:21 |
| groms | I'm really just installing gentoo. | 04:21 |
| Lindows1 | su | 04:21 |
| tuanpham | does anybody know that the percentage of User use UBUNTU and KUBUNTU ? | 04:22 |
| Lindows1 | su, password, then you're good | 04:22 |
| Lindows1 | then I think exit when you're done | 04:22 |
| Lindows1 | there is also gsu for groups | 04:22 |

| === david is now known as buggnout | ||
| buggnout | can anyone tell me how to activate restricted drivers in 4.1? | 04:23 |
| Lindows1 | under applications->system->hardware drivers | 04:23 |
| Lindows1 | then select the one you want to use | 04:23 |
| groms | restricted drivers? | 04:23 |
| Lindows1 | the other option is going through the vendor | 04:24 |
| Lindows1 | i screwed my last installation trying to install 177.82 nvidia drivers | 04:24 |
| Lindows1 | dont recommend it | 04:24 |
| Lindows1 | xorg sucks | 04:24 |
| Lindows1 | xorg sucks...really bad | 04:24 |
| buggnout | thnx!! | 04:24 |
| buggnout | out | 04:24 |
| groms | for nvidia, yes. Installing them shouldn't destroy anything though. | 04:25 |
| Lindows1 | basically, I think it was a ton of problems | 04:26 |
| Lindows1 | I upgraded from 8.04 | 04:26 |
| Lindows1 | it screwed up vtune, emerald started eating my cpu through xorg | 04:26 |
| Lindows1 | 177.83 drivers screwed up more things | 04:26 |
| Lindows1 | finally just did a clean install | 04:27 |
| Lindows1 | then the kubuntu, the first package update, black screen | 04:27 |
| Lindows1 | so back to messing with xorg.conf | 04:27 |
| Lindows1 | they didn't test this with people who have SLI | 04:27 |
| groms | generally if you generate a default xorg.conf it usually just works out of the box. | 04:28 |
| groms | X --config | 04:28 |
| Lindows1 | didn't for me, I had to specify busid | 04:28 |
| Lindows1 | otherwise it cant find my graphics card, since I have two | 04:29 |
| groms | ah | 04:32 |
| === david is now known as buggnout | ||
| buggnout | it won't activate driver | 04:33 |
| Lindows1 | using kubuntu 8.1? | 04:35 |
| ptl | 8.1 doesn't exist | 04:35 |
| ptl | 8.10 is more like it :) | 04:35 |
| Lindows1 | heh | 04:35 |
| Lindows1 | does it give an error message when you try to activate the restricted driver? | 04:36 |
| draik | ptl: What's the diff? | 04:36 |
| buggnout | 8.10 installed thru win for friend and says the driver needs to be activated...try to activate and it doesn't do anything | 04:37 |
| buggnout | nvidia btw | 04:38 |
| buggnout | no error mssg | 04:38 |
| Lindows1 | if it shows up "green" and says "activate" should be good, you have to reboot though after you activate it | 04:39 |
| Lindows1 | otherwise, you'll have to look through your xorg.conf file | 04:39 |
| buggnout | it won't show up green | 04:39 |
| Lindows1 | open a console and type in "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 04:39 |
| buggnout | i thought xorg.conf was diff in 4.1? | 04:39 |
| buggnout | what does 'less' do? | 04:40 |
| Lindows1 | well, under section "device" for the video device, it should say Driver "nvidia" | 04:40 |
| Lindows1 | lets you read the file | 04:40 |
| Lindows1 | read only | 04:40 |
| buggnout | aah | 04:40 |

| buggnout | any ideas? | 04:42 |
| Lindows1 | under: Identifier "Configured Video Device" add: Driver "nvidia" | 04:43 |

| giuseppe_ | I have ubuntu 8.04 | 08:46 |
| giuseppe_ | with gnome desktop | 08:46 |
| Dragonath | well this is the kubuntu channel, I'm afraid that I really don't know how to change these settings in GNOME | 08:46 |
| jabrroa | haha could have mentioned that | 08:47 |
| giuseppe_ | jabrroa: do you know in kde? | 08:47 |
| giuseppe_ | jabrroa: probably is similar | 08:47 |
| === jabrroa is now known as Jabrroa_BBL | ||
| Dragonath | some programs such as the firefox browser store their list of programs to open files with in their own configuration settings | 08:48 |
| Jabrroa_BBL | yea right click on audio file and hit open with | 08:48 |
| giuseppe_ | ok thanks | 08:48 |
| Jabrroa_BBL | and it should stay that way cuz mine is right now :) | 08:48 |

| laureline | hi ! | 08:57 |
| laureline | is there anybody ? | 08:57 |
| Aradiv | yes | 08:58 |
| Aradiv | ? | 08:58 |
| laureline | I need help | 08:59 |
| laureline | SO | 08:59 |
| Aradiv | k | 08:59 |
| laureline | I installed Kubuntu on my pc which has 2 HDD | 09:00 |
| Aradiv | k | 09:00 |
| laureline | on the second one, I have windows datas | 09:00 |
| laureline | and I want to keep them | 09:00 |
| laureline | but I don't know how can I install my second disk | 09:00 |
| laureline | can you help me ? | 09:01 |
| Dragonath | what version of ubuntu did you install? | 09:01 |
| laureline | I don't know, It must be on of the latest.. how can I know? | 09:01 |
| === gdoron is now known as gdroron | ||
| === gdroron is now known as gdoron | ||
| Dragonath | tbh I don't know :P | 09:04 |
| gdoron | Hi | 09:04 |
| gdoron | I think you can check your version if you go to system>about ubuntu | 09:04 |
| laureline | okay... | 09:05 |
| Dragonath | anyways, laureline, if you open konqueror or dolphin, on the left there should be a network tab | 09:05 |
| Dragonath | if you go there do you see your missing hard drive? | 09:05 |
| Aradiv | uname -r | 09:05 |
| milos_ | or lsb_release -a | 09:05 |
| gdoron | Oh thanks Aradiv and milos_ i was confused with ubuntu | 09:05 |
| Aradiv | kubuntu is ubuntu with kde | 09:06 |
| Dragonath | lsb_release it is | 09:06 |
| gdoron | Yep | 09:06 |
| === gdoron is now known as gdoron_ | ||
| === gdoron_ is now known as gdoron | ||
| Dragonath | right, does anyone know a theme for kde4 that hasn't got the vista glassy look all over it? | 09:08 |
| Dragonath | and doesn't look like macos | 09:09 |
| milos_ | laureline: what's the problem? you can't see second hdd from kubuntu? | 09:09 |
| gdoron | not really but I think you can turn it off in system settings | 09:09 |
| laureline | I cant go on it, because there's windows datas on it and I don't want to format it | 09:10 |
| laureline | And i'm a newbie with kubuntu ;) | 09:10 |
| Dragonath | ubuntu can read windows hard drives | 09:10 |
| Dragonath | it can even write on them without messing things up | 09:11 |
| Dragonath | and I am pretty sure that kubuntu will ask you before it formats anything | 09:11 |
| laureline | Yeah, but now, it doesn't | 09:11 |
| milos_ | laureline: you don't need to format anything | 09:12 |
| laureline | Ok so what can I do ? | 09:13 |
| Dragonath | do you see the hard drive in konqueror/dolphin? | 09:13 |
| laureline | Actually, I found something in the advanced system menu, and I thought that my pc needed to be reboot. So it is rebooting, but I don't know why, it takes a really long time... so Im waitin... | 09:15 |
| Dragonath | btw how can I edit the login manager settings? there's no administrator mode button like there was in kde3 | 09:16 |
| Dragonath | laureline, ubuntu usually just tells you that you have to reboot, it doesn't start the process itself, so you just have to start it yourself | 09:16 |
| Dragonath | or did you already do that? | 09:17 |
| milos_ | Dragonath: when click on System Settings/ select advanced tab | 09:17 |
| Dragonath | I'm already there milos_ | 09:17 |
| laureline | Yep, on my PC (Im talking to you with my laptop ;)) | 09:17 |
| Dragonath | laureline: and it's not rebooting? | 09:18 |
| milos_ | Dragonath: what do you want to change? | 09:18 |
| courtjesterg | i just did aa fresh reinstall ccaause i can anyway i keep noticeing everytime i do the installation there is a ? mark during install on the black screen it questions it self is it a kerrnel bug amd 76 or something like that with cdrom maybe this is why my cd rewrite doesn't read disks anymore | 09:18 |
| laureline | It rebooted, and there isn't my second HDD | 09:19 |
| courtjesterg | also wherre can i find out the differeent file formats and which one is best i know i don't have fat 16 or 32 i have the ext3 file system | 09:19 |
| Dragonath | milos_: the login manager background image, I know I need to be root to do that, but there doesn't seem to be a way to go root unless I start the system settings app with kdesu | 09:19 |
| courtjesterg | but there was other options xfs jfs and such and another one | 09:19 |
| laureline | So In the advanced system menu, I clicked on disks and system files | 09:19 |
| laureline | and there's only my first HDD | 09:20 |
| courtjesterg | !ext3 | 09:20 |
| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 09:20 |
| milos_ | Dragonath: hm, it asks me to enter pass to go in login manager | 09:20 |
| laureline | is it normal ? | 09:20 |
| courtjesterg | !xfs | 09:20 |
| ubottu | xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS | 09:20 |
| courtjesterg | !jxf | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jxf | 09:20 |
| Dragonath | milos_: it just shows me the settings but they're all greyed out | 09:20 |
| courtjesterg | !jfx | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jfx | 09:20 |
| courtjesterg | !journaling | 09:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about journaling | 09:21 |
| courtjesterg | !filesystem | 09:21 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 09:21 |
| milos_ | laureline: how much MB do you have on second hdd | 09:22 |
| Dragonath | courtjesterg: what is your problem exactly? | 09:23 |
| milos_ | Dragonath: everything is ok at me. The do it with kdesu | 09:23 |
| laureline | MB ? | 09:23 |
| laureline | 140 | 09:23 |
| === johan is now known as Guest73843 | ||

| milos_ | Dragonath: systemsettings | 09:25 |
| Dragonath | ok | 09:25 |
| milos_ | laureline: df -h | 09:26 |
| milos_ | laureline: paste it in pastebin and put link here | 09:26 |
| courtjesterg | wanting to research the diffeereent filesystems when you chose manule instead of default during set up | 09:26 |
| courtjesterg | Also keep noticeing on the black screen during install it questions if something is a kerrnal bug | 09:27 |
| courtjesterg | amd760 someting rom | 09:27 |
| laureline | I cant, Im not on the right pc | 09:27 |
| laureline | Ok, Im gonna try something... | 09:28 |
| laureline | I'll come back in a few minutes | 09:28 |
| Dragonath | milos_: kdesu systemsettings results in a totally different system settings dialog :) I'm pretty sure I am configuring kde3 there | 09:28 |
| Dragonath | after installing kde4 my computer is a mess | 09:28 |
| milos_ | laureline: you must try this on pc. Ok | 09:29 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| milos_ | Dragonath: what ver. you are running? | 09:29 |
| Dragonath | 8.04 | 09:29 |
| courtjesterg | the only thing wrong with kde4 is i can't get my cd/rewrite to read anymore once it showed up as a faulty drive in the beginning didn't even show the driv k3b doesn't see the drive but everything else dows | 09:30 |
| courtjesterg | ohh and still think the firefox build is actually off of sea monkey | 09:30 |
| milos_ | yup, mixing 3 and kde4 can be problem | 09:31 |
| woody86 | what's a good voip softphone to use in Kubuntu? | 09:32 |
| Dragonath | well is there a howto for migrating from kde3 to kde4? | 09:32 |
| milos_ | Dragonath: you should upgrade to 8.10 | 09:33 |
| Dragonath | probably | 09:33 |
| courtjesterg | i have 8.10 | 09:33 |
| Dragonath | I can use kde3 apps in kde4 right? | 09:34 |
| milos_ | yup | 09:34 |
| milos_ | probably | 09:34 |
| milos_ | didn't try | 09:34 |
| milos_ | i'm new to kubuntu | 09:35 |
| Dragonath | hmm I like the fact that I have a LTS release | 09:35 |
| milos_ | well if you want very stable sistem, forget kde4 | 09:36 |
| Dragonath | it's not stable? | 09:37 |
| milos_ | it is pretty stable but... | 09:37 |
| koperton | heya guys i have a problem with konqueror i want disable this message | 09:37 |
| koperton | konqueror You're about to transfer the following files from your local computer to the Internet. | 09:37 |
| courtjesterg | lol | 09:38 |
| koperton | well i can't upload to mediafire | 09:38 |
| koperton | with konqueror | 09:38 |
| courtjesterg | your haardrive online all fun | 09:38 |
| milos_ | 3.5 is rock solid stable. | 09:38 |
| Dragonath | oh well | 09:39 |
| koperton | courtjesterg: i use konqueror like web browser and so what's the problem | 09:39 |
| courtjesterg | lets make a virus with amor using the cat to infect windows ppl be like how i get the cat off my screen lol | 09:39 |
| courtjesterg | i can't seem to fugire out how to use konquoer as a web browser to display everything i use myspace for testing flash and java and the myspace app yoville which i can't get past the start menu even with firefox | 09:40 |
| Dragonath | you need to install the flash plugin | 09:41 |
| courtjesterg | i did | 09:41 |
| courtjesterg | non free | 09:41 |
| koperton | i use konquero because is prettu fast and light | 09:41 |
| koperton | pretty | 09:41 |
| courtjesterg | so yeah fusstrated in the fact i dunno why its not going past the yoville start screen konquerro just hangs at the load screen for that yoville app on myspace and face book check it out see if you can tthen tell me what plugins you using cause i tryed all java and the flash | 09:43 |
| koperton | mouhahha i have every silly plug in | 09:43 |
| koperton | :D | 09:43 |
| koperton | and konqui rocks | 09:44 |
| heinkel_111 | how do I configure konversation to open http://something.somedomain url's in konqueror instead of firefox? | 09:45 |
| courtjesterg | wow look up this file system ReiserFS we can use it but thats not why its interesting lol | 09:45 |
| courtjesterg | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS | 09:45 |
| koperton | heinkel_111: go in the settings man | 09:45 |
| heinkel_111 | it is cpunterintuitive not to use konqueror as default in kubuntu! | 09:45 |
| heinkel_111 | koperton: I have been there, can you show me where? | 09:45 |
| heinkel_111 | it is not that easy! | 09:45 |
| koperton | heinkel_111: have you kde3.5 or 4 | 09:46 |
| heinkel_111 | 4 | 09:46 |
| heinkel_111 | but konversation runs 3.5.9 | 09:46 |
| heinkel_111 | sorry | 09:46 |
| koperton | heinkel_111: mm just a second | 09:46 |
| heinkel_111 | 3.5.10 | 09:46 |
| heinkel_111 | I am on standard kubuntu 8.10 | 09:46 |
| koperton | standard kubuntu has kde4 | 09:47 |
| heinkel_111 | koperton: but konversation doesnt ;) | 09:47 |
| heinkel_111 | like a lot of other programs it is not updated to kde4 | 09:47 |
| koperton | i think on kde4 there is not kcontrol right? | 09:47 |
| koperton | open a terminal and type | 09:48 |
| koperton | kcontrol | 09:48 |
| heinkel_111 | so 8.10 has some way of running 3.5.10 in the background of kde4 | 09:48 |
| heinkel_111 | koperton: "which kcontrol" returns nothing, so yes, no kcontrol here i guess | 09:49 |
| koperton | ah | 09:49 |
| guren | systemsettings | 09:49 |
| courtjesterg | 2 days before the filesystem was introduced the autor killed his wife | 09:49 |
| dwidmann | heinkel_111: kde 3's kdelibs are installed so the few applications which haven't been ported can still be run. | 09:49 |
| courtjesterg | author | 09:50 |
| courtjesterg | that file system is cursed | 09:50 |
| courtjesterg | it must of driven him nutes coding so when he was done whacked his wife | 09:50 |
| Dragonath | courtjesterg: this channel is for help and support, #kubuntu-offtopic is for talk that doesn't fit here | 09:51 |
| heinkel_111 | dwidmann: I have noticed it is quite a few that i run regularily (amarok, konversation, digikam, ++) | 09:51 |
| dwidmann | heinkel_111: yeah, and all of those are in progress | 09:51 |
| heinkel_111 | dwidmann: but how do I manipulate kde3 konversation to open new links with kde4 konqueror then | 09:51 |
| courtjesterg | i hear off topic all the time and this is on topic thankyou it interesting support on the different file systems you can install kubutu on | 09:51 |
| heinkel_111 | dwidmann: I think that must be the little problem here | 09:52 |
| dwidmann | heinkel_111: amarok is at beta 3 ... there has been a beta or 2 for digikam ... not sure about konversation yet | 09:52 |
| koperton | heinkel_111: http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?image=setwebrowserpf5.jpg | 09:52 |
| courtjesterg | how come amor doesn't display any tips even after setting them | 09:52 |
| heinkel_111 | dwidmann, koperton: when I manipulate system settings here (in kde4) , the kde3 applications are nonresponsive, right? | 09:52 |
| courtjesterg | it shows up blank | 09:52 |
| dwidmann | heinkel_111: probably | 09:53 |
| koperton | heinkel_111: mm i dunno i have used only for some weeks kde4 and if in this silly releease ffmpeg wasn't fucked i would used | 09:53 |
| koperton | now i am still on kde3.5 | 09:53 |
| heinkel_111 | koperton: thank you, I already did that - configured it to open http url's with /usr/bin/konqueror | 09:53 |
| koperton | :) | 09:53 |
| dwidmann | koperton: what's wrong with ffmpeg? | 09:53 |
| koperton | bah they have changed codec's name | 09:54 |
| dwidmann | koperton: eh? which ones? | 09:54 |
| heinkel_111 | koperton, dwidmann...thanks for helping, I give up for now! | 09:54 |
| koperton | and there is some problem even if you turn medibuntu on and installl ffmpeg and other packages | 09:54 |
| koperton | heinkel_111: try with konqueror | 09:54 |
| koperton | instead of /usr/bin/etct | 09:55 |
| koperton | dwidmann: aac-----> libfaac | 09:55 |
| koperton | xvid ----->libxvid | 09:55 |
| dwidmann | heinkel_111: I know h.264 wasn't playing back in any of the multimedia apps in intrepid ... so I had to compile my own mplayer and vlc .... | 09:55 |
| koperton | h264------>libx264 | 09:55 |
| koperton | bah dwidmanni have made nwc damn and every time i have some issue with ffmpeg | 09:56 |

| dwidmann | nintendork32: you'll either have to look for a third party repository, downgrade to 8.04, or compile from source | 10:02 |
| nintendork32 | nvm i found a thread :D | 10:03 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: (I personally chose option 3) | 10:03 |
| nintendork32 | where would that be? | 10:04 |
| nintendork32 | kubuntu or kde's site? | 10:04 |
| === courtjesterg is now known as CourtJesterG | ||
| dwidmann | ", or compile from source" ... and that would be from kde's site | 10:04 |
| nintendork32 | dwidmann, what 3.5x version should i get | 10:08 |
| nintendork32 | 3.5.10? | 10:08 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: take your pick .. 3.5.10 will probably prove easiest to build | 10:09 |
| nintendork32 | dwidmann, does QT come with ubuntu | 10:10 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: yeah | 10:10 |
| nintendork32 | ok | 10:11 |
| nintendork32 | you use ubuntu or kubuntu? | 10:11 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: it won't matter, but I use Kubuntu :) | 10:11 |
| nintendork32 | is there debs any where? this is taking too long | 10:12 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: hmm, never said it would be instant ... | 10:12 |
| nintendork32 | i know | 10:12 |
| nintendork32 | id rather go that way anyway | 10:12 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: I said the opposite, I said it'd be "compile from source" :P | 10:13 |
| nintendork32 | http://www.kde.org/download/#v3.5 | 10:13 |
| nintendork32 | uhm... | 10:13 |

| vlt_ | Hello. I installed Kubuntu 8.10. Where has Settings->priners gone? | 10:14 |
| vlt_ | *printers | 10:14 |
| dwidmann | "sudo apt-get install build-essential; sudo apt-get build-dep kdelibs4c2a" should grab a lot of the build dependencies | 10:14 |
| dwidmann | vit_: dunno, as an alternative you can go to 'http://localhost:631' in your browser | 10:15 |
| dwidmann | nintendork32: for a base kde install, the only packages you would need would be arts, kdelibs, and kdebase (built in that order) | 10:16 |

| * dr_willis isent sure of what drivers work with what ati cards.. thers been 'issues' lately with a lot of the new driver releases | 14:21 | |
| Craftsman | ok | 14:21 |
| Craftsman | but | 14:21 |
| Craftsman | how could i use super user? | 14:22 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | 14:23 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 14:23 |
| dr_willis | with the proper use of 'sudo' or related commands | 14:23 |
| Craftsman | should i enter the passwd? | 14:23 |
| dr_willis | in your case you COULD go to the console, Kill the X session with 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop' then 'run' that installer with 'sudo chmod +x ati-whatever' 'sudo /path/to/ati-whatever.run' | 14:24 |
| dr_willis | Theres 3 ways of getting the 'drivers' working.. dependign on what your needs.. and if you NEED the latest drivers or not.. | 14:24 |
| dr_willis | the .run progarm you downloaded would be the 'last' way i would try | 14:24 |
| Craftsman | and what is the first? | 14:25 |
| dr_willis | Using that hardware-drivers tool thats in the menus.. and proberly has an icon somewhere in your panels.. | 14:25 |

| janux | dont if such programs had an option to sync, but a "technical" way I think you can do that is copying each ".program_folder" from your home folder from the PC to the laptop | 16:12 |
| janux | and so both will have the same info... you can set this as automatically with a cron schedule.. | 16:13 |
| janux | you know what I mean?.. at least it can be a way.. | 16:14 |

| ectospasm | not I | 16:54 |
| patch_ | lol ok.. man this is proving to be a pain. when i extract the tar.bz2 or w/e it is.. then i type ./configure it says the directory is not found | 16:56 |
| ectospasm | are you in the unpacked directory? | 16:56 |
| ectospasm | I mean, what's your pwd? | 16:56 |
| patch_ | lemme try again and see.. i mean im changing to that directory..im trying to install dekorator so hold on lol | 16:57 |
| ectospasm | ./configure usually isn't a directory | 16:57 |
| ectospasm | patch_: did you read the README that comes with it? Perhaps there is no configure step | 16:58 |
| ectospasm | That's common for a lot of programs | 16:58 |
| patch_ | ectospasm: im not sure there was a read me but ill check | 16:58 |
| ectospasm | patch_: or another question, what directory does it say "is not found"? | 16:59 |
| patch_ | ./configure | 16:59 |
| patch_ | patch@Patch-Laptop:~$ cd dekorator-0.4 | 16:59 |

| ectospasm | ./configure doesn't exist, | 17:00 |
| ectospasm | No configure step perhaps? | 17:00 |
| patch_ | lol yeah i guess.. | 17:00 |
| ectospasm | does ls show configure | 17:00 |
| ectospasm | ? | 17:00 |
| patch_ | no.. theres a readme.ORIGINAL which is for the original dekorator.. the README refers you to the original lol | 17:01 |
| patch_ | theres an Install | 17:01 |
| ectospasm | so, read the INSTALL | 17:01 |
| ectospasm | You should have done that first | 17:01 |
| ectospasm | There probably isn't a configure step | 17:01 |

| gekkoo | ectospasm: yea, and where especially are the menu items stored in? | 17:06 |

| gekkoo | ah | 17:06 |
| ectospasm | gekkoo: lemme look | 17:06 |
| patch_ | milos_ no there isnt... i give up.. its prolly not a good port .. ill just wait it out.. and figure out another way to make kde 4.1 look good lol | 17:06 |

| gekkoo | found it in ~/.config/menus strange location :-\ | 17:11 |
| ectospasm | gekkoo: why do you say it's strange? Just because you didn't expect to look there? .config is unnatural? | 17:12 |

| ikazmi | bascule: well the problem really is, i cant find the right packages for kernel 2.6.27-7 now | 17:36 |
| bascule | ikazmi: you asked me how to install a version, would I have been better to leave you at 'man aptitude'? | 17:36 |
| ikazmi | ectospasm: i prefer running a firewall and hiding behind a router :) | 17:37 |
| ikazmi | ectospasm: i know its not a perfect situation, but then again, not running as root is not the perfect solution either, its not perfectly safe for starters plus it ads unwanted complexity | 17:38 |
| ectospasm | ikazmi: right, but some attacks tunnel through a protocol you're using, and could be an exploit in clients you use. A firewall doesn't protect against those sorts of attacks. | 17:38 |
| ikazmi | well if i had control over a users system, all i would need is a keylogger and a bash script which gets triggered with sudo bash | 17:40 |
| ikazmi | ectospasm: won't that work as well? now although, the user is not root. i can pretty much do whatever i want with their system, no? | 17:41 |
| === jessie is now known as benzen | ||
| ectospasm | ikazmi: do you follow security bulletins? THere are buffer overflows and the like in OSS all the time! Are you sure you're safe? | 17:42 |
| ectospasm | Of course, none of us are | 17:42 |
| ectospasm | But attacks can compromise a user account, and not compromise the whole system | 17:43 |
| ectospasm | even though keyloggers aren't that hard to write for linux, the attacker has to trick you into running one, which is harder to do... | 17:44 |

| ikazmi | what do i do about the wlan just disappearing | 17:52 |
| ikazmi | when i do a dmesg, theres no mention of wlan, b43 bcm43 or anything of that sort | 17:53 |
| ikazmi | ive manually scanned through the out and tried to grep it | 17:53 |
| ikazmi | no luck at all | 17:53 |
| ikazmi | lspci lists my controller though | 17:54 |
| ikazmi | and the hardware works coz it still works in the old kernel | 17:54 |
| frando | Hey. I just updated from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and now X doesn't start with fglrx as driver. Removing the Driver line (and thus using VESA I guess) it works. | 17:57 |
| ikazmi | ok...so thanks a lot for trying i guess.... | 17:58 |
| frando | I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-8-generic and xorg-driver-fglrx installed | 17:58 |

| joe-mother | yo | 18:13 |
| joe-mother | yo? | 18:15 |
| dr_willis | hmm | 18:17 |
| dr_willis | dhcp server .. or client... ? | 18:17 |
| joe-mother | client | 18:18 |
| dr_willis | so you mean to say the dhcp server is giving out the wrong dns servers? | 18:18 |
| joe-mother | not wrong, but not the ones i want to use | 18:18 |
| dr_willis | i would say check the dhcp client man pages.. there may be some option.. but with the way the networkl manager works in ubuntu/kubuntu there may be otehr ways as well | 18:19 |
| bascule | I only know of a work around and that is to chattr /etc/resolv.conf so it is immutable and set the nameserver entries in there | 18:20 |
| bascule | chattr +i I think (only for ext3 filesystems) | 18:20 |
| bascule | mDNS/avahi might have options too | 18:20 |
| bascule | mDNS should of course | 18:20 |
| joe-mother | chattr makes it read only? | 18:21 |
| dr_willis | man chattr and see :) I guess.. | 18:23 |
| dr_willis | been ages sinve ive used chattr.. its one of those commands you just dont hear a lot about | 18:23 |

| heinkel_111 | Hi, I am reconfiguring hard-disk partitions after installing a new one earlier today. Does anyone know what the meaning of the flag "lba" on an extended partition is? | 18:48 |
| claydoh | un_: not quite true | 18:48 |
| un_ | anyone know of any new repo with 3.5.10 for ibex? | 18:48 |
| un_ | claydoh: oh... the site pearsoncomputing says kubuntu told them to shut down... | 18:48 |
| claydoh | un_: he shut it down after the devs discovered that they would prevent upgrades in the future | 18:49 |
| heinkel_111 | un_: I got 3.5.10 with regular repos | 18:49 |
| claydoh | he is goiung to work with the devs iirc to make it work correctly | 18:49 |
| un_ | claydoh: ahh... i see... so is 3.5.10 just not a good idea in ibex, or do i need to compile? | 18:49 |
| dr_willis | sounds like a win-win | 18:49 |
| un_ | heinkel_111: ? in ibex? | 18:49 |
| heinkel_111 | un_: yep this is irc chat text with konversation | 18:50 |
| claydoh | un_: those packages were a bad idea in the way they were done, but yes, you will have to compile right now | 18:50 |
| heinkel_111 | and konversation runs 3.5.10 | 18:50 |
| MCMetal | yeah | 18:50 |
| heinkel_111 | it is there somewhere in the background | 18:50 |
| heinkel_111 | hidden behind kde4, but still on my computer, it looks like | 18:51 |
| JontheEchidna | just the base libraries | 18:51 |
| claydoh | there are the basic libs to run kde3 apps such as amarok/konvi, but there is no kde3 in intrepid | 18:51 |
| un_ | heinkel_111: thank you... forums.kde.org pointed to pearsoncomputing as the sole ibex repo for it... | 18:51 |
| bascule | heinkel_111 lba is Logical Block Addressing, it is support for larger drives (defacto these days) | 18:51 |

| Zaqq | hi. i want to install KDE 3 on my Ubuntu Intrepid. Is it possible? | 18:57 |
| === KDanu is now known as Danu | ||
| bascule | no | 18:57 |
| bascule | well yes, but you are looking at a lot of pain | 18:57 |
| bascule | !kde3 | 18:57 |
| ubottu | No, intrepid does not include KDE 3, only KDE 4. Please continue to use Hardy if KDE 3 is deisred. | 18:57 |
| Zaqq | if I downgrade the kernel? | 18:58 |
| bascule | no, it is not kernel dependent it is release dependent | 18:58 |
| heinkel_111 | methinks this starts to sound like vista vs XP in here these days | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | Thats about what it ammounts to.. | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | Out with the old - in with the new | 18:58 |
| bascule | I like KDE4 some people think it is still missing things, I think that too, when I think of what it is missing I can't come up with anything | 18:58 |
| Zaqq | kde 4 works really slowly compared to kde 3 or any other OS for that matter | 18:59 |
| claydoh | ui tweaks mostly atm | 18:59 |
| heinkel_111 | I don't find KDE4 terribly slow on my high end computer...but I do have real performance problems with vista on it | 18:59 |
| bascule | it is heavy in ram usage, but lighter than vista, I am not finding it slow | 18:59 |
| claydoh | though i think nvidia drivers make it slow for many iirc | 19:00 |
| un_ | kde4 is going to own all other desktops/environments, etc... leopard and aero won't have had a chance... it's just not ready for release... lol | 19:00 |
| Zaqq | i am running this on a core 2 duo with geforce 8600 gt gfx and 4 GB ram ... vista flies on this ting .. so does mac osx | 19:00 |
| un_ | i still don't think it should have been in 8.10, instead maybe a super cool 'kdemod' of 3.5 with extra kubuntu-ness would have been better than a kde4 prerelease... | 19:01 |
| dr_willis | Kde4 is still being optmized. :( and worked on... | 19:01 |
| heinkel_111 | my synthesizers and audio software are not really useable with vista (they worked ok on XP), however the linux alternatives works well and for the first time in my life i actually find my hardware is better supported by linux than M$ :) | 19:01 |
| bascule | I still have hardy on my desktop I am running intrepid on a t5500 and an intel 945gm 1GB of ram, it is OK, swaps out a lot though (it needs more than 1GB with integrated video) | 19:01 |
| dr_willis | but its a catch-22.. no one works onit.. if no one is using it.. and no one uses it if.... | 19:01 |
| heinkel_111 | running LMMS on kubuntu 64 = :) | 19:01 |
| un_ | LMMS, i remember the initial release of that app... : ) | 19:02 |
| Zaqq | does 64 bit make any difference in speed? | 19:02 |
| bascule | nah, actually takes more ram as far as I can tell | 19:02 |
| heinkel_111 | Zaqq: yes, but it is a 2 years since the last time I tried 32 bit :P | 19:02 |
| Zaqq | .. let me mention that it takes about 40-60 seconds to startup .. is that normal? | 19:03 |
| heinkel_111 | boot? yes - this depending on your disk setup etc etc | 19:03 |
| Zaqq | no from gdm/ kdm | 19:04 |
| claydoh | it only takes 45-60 for my old p4-m 2.0ghz lappy to fully boot | 19:04 |
| Zaqq | just kde | 19:04 |
| heinkel_111 | question: can I put the SWAP partition as part of an extended partition package or does it need to be a primary partition? | 19:05 |
| Zaqq | 4.. kde 3 was way faster .. i just think i made a mistake upgrading to intrepid .. i know that it was there in the readme about kde4 pushed down your throat .. but i thought it might be more READY than this! | 19:05 |
| Zaqq | bascule: do u get acceptable performance without compiz? maybe kde4 has issues when u have compiz-fusion as your WM ? | 19:07 |
| bascule | heinkel_111: swap can be extended | 19:07 |
| === vito_ is now known as vito | ||
| bascule | I do not use compiz on kde4 :) | 19:07 |

| Snailspeed | Hello everybody. I'm trying to switch from pclinuxos to kubunto (for several reasons) but after having downloaded the new 8.10 64bit I'm unable to start kubunto. After loading it gives me a wicked screen (I'm using a nvidia geforce 7950gt :o( ) | 19:18 |
| dr_willis | I had to get the nvidia drivers installed and set up after the install was done.. | 19:23 |
| dr_willis | the live cd gave a wrong resolution | 19:23 |
| Snailspeed | So I should install it and try to start it in console mode? | 19:23 |
| dr_willis | It worked here..just at a wrong/low res - that i had to install the nvidia drivers to get the res proper. | 19:25 |
| dr_willis | x was wanting to default to the vesa driver and not the 'nv' one - on the live/installer cd... | 19:26 |
| Snailspeed | Well I could try to install on hd and then login in console mode (I guess it's possible in kubuntu). Then I could do something like sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx !? | 19:28 |
| Snailspeed | On the other hand my screen is totally messed up | 19:29 |
| dr_willis | not just wrong res eh? total garbage? | 19:31 |
| Snailspeed | yup, total garbage | 19:31 |
| DaSkreech | X server? | 19:31 |
| dr_willis | could try the alternative isntaller cd.. if the live cd is total garbage also.. and then tryinstall ing the nvidia drivers fromconsole. | 19:31 |
| DaSkreech | or the terminals are messed up too? | 19:31 |
| Snailspeed | seems like it | 19:31 |
| Snailspeed | Well, from the livecd, after loading, the screen just turns into garbage | 19:32 |
| Snailspeed | which alternative installer cd is that? | 19:32 |

| DaSkreech | l_r: It goes back to the settings on first boot | 19:39 |
| DaSkreech | If I understand your question | 19:39 |

| DaSkreech | Kovert: Alright when you boot can the the MBR find Grub? | 19:42 |
| Kovert | I do not belive so becase I get a no operqating system found message | 19:42 |

| dr_willis | l_r, it has a few issues.. but works well | 19:47 |
| l_r | dr_willis, so those changes will not appear on the hardisk too when you choose to installed the modified system from usb to disk, right? | 19:48 |

| DaSkreech | Ha ha | 20:00 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Should work :( | 20:00 |
| Kovert | I like dthe amonds the best | 20:00 |
| dr_willis | Ive not seen the Almond M&M in ages... | 20:01 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: I think the grub isnt on SDA1 where it shoudl be | 20:01 |
| Kovert | dr_willis: me either | 20:01 |
| festher | im about to install virtual box on kubuntu 8.10 64bit - should i take OSE or GTK or both? | 20:01 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Grub should be on sdb1 the MBR should be on sda | 20:01 |
| dr_willis | festher, one is just a front end to the ose pacakge.. i think | 20:01 |
| DaSkreech | dr_willis: So you are for hugs? | 20:01 |
| * dr_willis just got burped on by a 3 week old baby | 20:02 | |
| festher | yes gtk is frontend but i dont even know what THAT is :( | 20:02 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: how can we check or fix the MBR on Sda1? | 20:02 |
| DaSkreech | !mbr | 20:02 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:02 |
| Kovert | damm samew evil thing | 20:02 |
| dr_willis | Hmmmm the MBR is on sda, sda1 and sda2 could have their own loader in their boot records i think | 20:02 |
| dr_willis | I normally put grub on sda, not sda1 | 20:02 |
| DaSkreech | There is a section that says after installing windows. If you follow that it shoudl work | 20:03 |
| Kovert | I saw that and thats why I am here | 20:03 |
| DaSkreech | dr_willis: Grub or the MBR ? | 20:03 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Well you don't have an entry for windows first of all | 20:03 |
| dr_willis | i normally install 'grub' s to the MBR of the hard drive.. | 20:03 |
| sd32 | lol i click on the multimedia link and opera opens in a paltalk page | 20:04 |
| === leroy is now known as epimeth | ||
| epimeth | well I finally got a new hard drive and installed ibex... | 20:05 |
| epimeth | my screen flashes every few seconds and I can't connect to my wireless | 20:05 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: so what do I do | 20:05 |
| epimeth | I had neither problem in hardy kde4 :-( | 20:05 |
| Kovert | dr_willis: the MBR | 20:05 |
| DaSkreech | epimeth: Turn off compositing I would guess | 20:06 |
| epimeth | how do I get both working again? :-( | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | From the Grub manual.... grub> setup (hd0) | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | This command will install the GRUB boot loader on the Master Boot Record (MBR) of the first drive. If you want to put GRUB into the boot sector of a partition instead of putting it in the MBR, specify the partition into which you want to install GRUB: | 20:06 |
| epimeth | DaSkreech: well I had composting on in hardy... I'll try that tho. Should have thought of that myself :-) | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | grub> setup (hd0,0) | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | If you install GRUB into a partition or a drive other than the first one, you must chain-load GRUB from another boot loader. Refer to the manual for the boot loader to know how to chain-load GRUB. | 20:06 |
| sd32 | guess its time to get rid of opera | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | Now.. what was the grub problem? I got sidetracked.. :P | 20:07 |
| Kovert | I did Brib serti (HD1,0) before | 20:07 |
| DaSkreech | He gets an error no OS found | 20:07 |
| DaSkreech | Assuming that Kovert is a he | 20:07 |
| Kovert | wow sorry | 20:07 |
| epimeth | DaSkreech: how do I turn off composting? | 20:07 |
| epimeth | lol | 20:07 |
| dr_willis | Did he put grub in the MBR, or the 'boot sector' :) thats how installing grub to sda, vs sda1 differ... | 20:07 |
| DaSkreech | epimeth: turn off desktop effects is the fast easy way | 20:07 |
| Kovert | I did a setup (hd1,0) before follong directions | 20:08 |
| epimeth | DaSkreech: yea, were are those settings? KDE4 is going to take getting used to.... | 20:08 |
| dr_willis | Kovert, you most likely wanted setup (hd1) that would put grub on the MBR of hd #2 | 20:08 |
| sd32 | man adept sucks | 20:08 |
| Kovert | ok lets try that | 20:09 |
| adi_ | hi all | 20:09 |
| dr_willis | Im not even sure how you boot the grub if its on (hd1,0) | 20:09 |
| epimeth | sd32: bite your tongue! | 20:09 |
| sd32 | epimeth: oops | 20:09 |
| DaSkreech | epimeth: alt+F3 on any window -> properties | 20:09 |
| adi_ | what codecs should I install to see almost any movie with dragon movie player in kde4? | 20:09 |
| dr_willis | adi_, w32codecs pack. and the kubuntu-restricted-extras are ones i always install. | 20:10 |

| epimeth | sd32: what are you looking for? | 20:10 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: That's the windows partition | 20:10 |
| dr_willis | adi_, I perfer mplayer, or vlc | 20:10 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: isnt that where we want it? | 20:11 |
| adi_ | ok thanks :) | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | adi_: Umm If you like it I guess | 20:11 |
| ralpho | should not it be (hd0,0)? | 20:11 |
| sd32 | epimeth: is it supposed to work like synaptic? | 20:11 |
| epimeth | DaSkreech: how about the wireless? can you help with that? | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | !wifi | 20:11 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | I've never setup wireless before | 20:12 |
| dr_willis | hd0,0 would be the first patition on the hard drive.. not the same as hd0 | 20:12 |
| ralpho | mbr | 20:12 |
| epimeth | sd32: I've never used synaptic | 20:12 |
| dr_willis | or am i confused.. | 20:12 |
| * dr_willis rereads | 20:12 | |
| sd32 | epimeth: i cant find any search capability | 20:13 |
| Kovert | it liked root (hd0,0) | 20:13 |
| dr_willis | grub> setup (hd0) | 20:13 |
| DaSkreech | dr_willis: As near as I can guess it's finding grub but not the OS | 20:13 |
| dr_willis | root is not the same as setup. :) | 20:13 |
| Kovert | here I go | 20:13 |
| dr_willis | root sets where to look for the grub files... | 20:13 |
| dr_willis | setup actually puts the stuff on the mbr | 20:13 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: It has a bug you may have hit on. You need to manually rebuild the xapian database | 20:13 |

| dr_willis | enable medibuntu repo.. install cool stuff... | 20:16 |
| dr_willis | heh.. | 20:16 |
| dr_willis | mrksbrd, i dont even rember the problem... | 20:16 |

| mrksbrd | ok...i'll pm u | 20:16 |
| epimeth | bye guys... .bbl | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | mrksbrd: Do it here | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | More people learn that way | 20:16 |
| Kovert | this is screwed I am folloing the link I got from dr_willis | 20:16 |
| Kovert | but when I do the find I get (hd1,0) | 20:17 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: that's correct | 20:17 |
| mrksbrd | the problem i'm having is when booting up linux 8.10 i have to hold down "any" key to keep progress bar to continue, or it will just hang there for eternity | 20:17 |
| Kovert | so before when i did the setup (hd1,0) and rebooted it showed no operating system found | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: AhI see | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | You don't know how to convert your drives to grub drives ? | 20:18 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: I dont knwo something | 20:18 |
| dr_willis | Kovert, you set the 'root'; with root first.. then run the setup command.. | 20:18 |
| Kovert | did that | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: sda = (hd0) | 20:19 |
| dr_willis | rember kids.. grub totally names drives differently then Linux does.. :) | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | sda1 = (hd0,0) | 20:19 |
| Kovert | grub> root (hd0,1) | 20:19 |
| dr_willis | and rember GRUB starts counting at ZERO :) | 20:19 |
| Kovert | Error 22: No such partition | 20:19 |
| Kovert | grub> root (hd0,0) | 20:19 |

| sd32 | i do a search for opera in adept and it comes up with : speed dial extension for firefox, gpsk31,torK | 20:19 |
| dr_willis | Kovert, try the tab key also.. grub has name/drive completiion | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: That page you are following assumes somethings | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: For example you have one drive in the computer and Windows is on the first partition and Linux is on the second | 20:20 |
| Kovert | I am going to try grub-install /dev/hda | 20:20 |
| Kovert | woudl that work? | 20:20 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: You hve a different setup so please act accordingly | 20:20 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: I am trying | 20:20 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Ok but are you userstanding the difference of what is written there and your setup ? | 20:21 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech: I am getting more confused as time goes on | 20:21 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Then lets slow down | 20:21 |
| Kovert | DaSkreech:thanks | 20:21 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Tell me what you understand so far | 20:21 |
| Kovert | I under stand that if I follow the directions | 20:21 |
| DaSkreech | you will screw up your computer booting | 20:22 |
| DaSkreech | if you copy paste them | 20:22 |
| Kovert | I get that the boot loader is /hd1,0 | 20:22 |
| Kovert | it shoudl be gd0,0 | 20:22 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: Do you know what that means? | 20:22 |
| Kovert | hd 0 sector 0 | 20:23 |
| Kovert | also know as /dev/sda | 20:23 |
| DaSkreech | Cool | 20:23 |
| Kovert | well 0,0 is drive /sda | 20:23 |
| DaSkreech | and grub is on hd(1,0) which is ? | 20:23 |
| Kovert | 1,0 is sdb | 20:23 |
| DaSkreech | Kovert: It's sda1 and sdb1 | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | hd0 is sda | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | hd0,0 is sda1 | 20:24 |
| Kovert | oh! | 20:24 |
| Kovert | ok | 20:24 |
| dr_willis | :) | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | do you know the difference between sda and sda1 ? | 20:24 |
| Kovert | I think I used to knwo that | 20:24 |
| dr_willis | Grub naming schemes claim another victem! :P | 20:25 |
| Kovert | sda1 is a partition? | 20:25 |
| DaSkreech | Right! :) | 20:25 |
| dr_willis | sda(sda1 sda2 sda3) | 20:25 |
| dr_willis | :) | 20:25 |
| * dr_willis draws ascii diagrams | 20:25 | |
| mrksbrd | lol.....i think 8.10 was released to early | 20:26 |
| sd32 | now do i run the adept add/ remove or the package manager ot find programs? | 20:26 |
| Kovert | ok so if the mbr is on /sda and the boot is on /sdb/1 | 20:26 |
| dr_willis | I perfer synaptic :) | 20:26 |
| sd32 | lol | 20:26 |
| DaSkreech | mrksbrd: As Dave Chappel says. It came right on time | 20:26 |
| sd32 | word | 20:26 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: package manager | 20:27 |
| sd32 | DaSkreech: thanks | 20:27 |
| * DaSkreech senses a question from Kovert soon | 20:27 | |
| Kovert | I want to setup grub on hd1 that has the linux partition | 20:28 |
| mrksbrd | DaSkreech: while he is in deep thought........... | 20:28 |
| Kovert | so it would be grub> setup (hd1) | 20:28 |
| dr_willis | If you set up grub on hd1, you need to be sure to boot hd1 from, the bios also. | 20:28 |
| dr_willis | yes.. i think so Kovert | 20:28 |
| Kovert | but i want to boot from hd0 | 20:29 |
| Kovert | I am confused setup installs grub but doesnt chaneg the mbr?> | 20:29 |
| MCMetal1 | hd0? | 20:30 |
| mrksbrd | DaSkreech: have u heard of having to hold down a key on keyboard while booting to finish process? | 20:30 |
| mrksbrd | Kovert: are u trying to dual boot? | 20:30 |
| Kovert | yes | 20:31 |
| mrksbrd | along with windows? | 20:31 |
| Kovert | yes | 20:31 |
| mrksbrd | very simple | 20:31 |
| DaSkreech | mrksbrd: Yeah some hardware driver bugs out | 20:31 |
| sd32 | is the adept manual a seperate package? | 20:31 |
| mrksbrd | what version of windows? | 20:31 |
| DaSkreech | I've had that where when loading hardware drivers it just stops | 20:31 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: Manual ? | 20:31 |
| Kovert | mrksbrd: yeah I have been spening an hour on it | 20:31 |
| sd32 | DaSkreech: sorry handbook | 20:32 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: Probably hasn't been written yet | 20:32 |
| mrksbrd | Kovert: what version of windows? Vista or XP | 20:32 |
| Kovert | XP | 20:32 |
| DaSkreech | the authour of Adept pulled off an incredible task in a few weeks to code a new adept for us to ship in Ibex | 20:32 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: It's very surprising it is in and works at all. | 20:33 |
| mrksbrd | DaSkreech: ty....thats what i figured, guess i'll have to continue to deal | 20:33 |
| sd32 | DaSkreech: lol back to synaptik | 20:33 |
| mrksbrd | u have 1 hdd your using? | 20:33 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: If you want help out you can submit documents to nixternal adept will have much more time for polish in the future | 20:33 |
| Kovert | mrksbrd: 2 | 20:33 |
| DaSkreech | mrksbrd: I had to do a reinstall shortly after that fixed it | 20:34 |
| sd32 | DaSkreech: thanks for the calrification | 20:34 |
| mrksbrd | guessing you already have your windows drive partioned? | 20:34 |
| Kovert | yes | 20:34 |
| mrksbrd | DaSkreech: 4 re-installs & upgrade attempt, still same thing | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | sd32: Sometimes people don't know the history of what it took to get you this software for free | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | He really should be thrown a small party for his support :) | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | mrksbrd: Erk has it always done that? | 20:35 |

| DaSkreech | sd32: Enjoy Synaptic :) Isn't choice grand? | 20:41 |

| mrksbrd | ozzy: let me guess it freezes till u hold down a key on keyboard! | 21:09 |
| sigma | !cron | 21:10 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 21:10 |
| TJ12 | is ubuntu built off debian | 21:10 |
| sigma | thats the general idea | 21:10 |
| ozzy | no. the screen just got black. i can move mouse... it does nothing. | 21:11 |
| patch_ | sort of.. ubuntu is a debian based distro | 21:11 |
| burn_ | i make and error in wine, incidetly in wineconfig where is C:/ drive i add directory /media/iso0 and that can not be chaneged now. How to change it back to only C:/, it is locked | 21:11 |
| ozzy | i can press keys... it do nothing then. | 21:11 |
| mrksbrd | hhmmmmmmm | 21:12 |
| sigma | kcron doesnt work | 21:12 |
| sigma | it never saves system crons | 21:13 |
| TJ12 | I just did a sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop | 21:13 |
| ozzy | i must say that i have two disks. one for xp and one for linux kubuntu 8.10 | 21:13 |
| TJ12 | it finished everything | 21:13 |
| TJ12 | how do i change it from gde to kde | 21:14 |
| sigma | im finding myself installing gnome apps to replace the kde ones that dont work, so depressing:( | 21:14 |
| tyro | heh | 21:14 |
| tyro | anyone know of a good MP4 to AVI video converter for linux? | 21:15 |
| tyro | with a deb package hopefully | 21:15 |
| tyro | heh | 21:15 |
| sd32 | tj12, relog and pick kde in the session settings on the login screen | 21:16 |
| mrksbrd | ozzy: my first guess would be 8.10, some bugs still out there, might have one | 21:16 |
| mrksbrd | have u tried to boot into recovery mode to see if it will load that way? | 21:17 |

| Ardarandir | why dont you just apt-get it? is the regular one broken? | 23:08 |
| Ardarandir | and: you can look that up inside firefox, where it looks for plugins | 23:08 |
| cody_ | well I have had some major problems | 23:08 |
| cody_ | I tried to reinstall the flash player because all of a sudden I could only watch the first 5 seconds of any video. | 23:09 |
| Ardarandir | with sudo apt-get remove --purge ? | 23:09 |
| cody_ | no... | 23:09 |
| cody_ | I tried manually | 23:09 |
| Ardarandir | how that? | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | remove/reinstalling - rarely fixes things under Linux | 23:09 |
| cody_ | I looked for the plugin in each directory and deleted it | 23:09 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: wrong action :) | 23:09 |
| cody_ | true that dr_willis but thqt seemed to be the only thing the forums were telling | 23:10 |
| cody_ | me | 23:10 |
| Ardarandir | bad forums :) | 23:10 |
| cody_ | yeah probably for windows users | 23:10 |
| cody_ | okay... | 23:10 |
| cody_ | so should I try a purge then? | 23:10 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: seems like you deleted something which doesnt come with the package, did you? | 23:10 |
| cody_ | I only deleted things inside the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory | 23:11 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: purge it, reinstall it - and if that doesnt work try it manually again... | 23:11 |
| Ardarandir | than it should work | 23:11 |
| Ardarandir | *then | 23:11 |
| cody_ | woah... | 23:11 |
| Ardarandir | i only got there two files | 23:11 |
| Ardarandir | flashplugin-alternative.so and npwrapper.libflashplayer.so | 23:12 |
| cody_ | when I ran that it gave me unmet dependencies | 23:12 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: which? | 23:12 |
| cody_ | libgcc1gcc-4.2-basegcc-4.2-basegcc-4.2-baselibstdc++6 | 23:12 |
| cody_ | oops | 23:12 |
| cody_ | there are spaces in there somewhere | 23:12 |
| cody_ | what the heck is up with thqt | 23:13 |
| cody_ | that* | 23:13 |
| Ardarandir | hum, that shouldnt be dependencies, afaik | 23:14 |
| cody_ | this problem truley is whack because everything worked fine not four hours ago. | 23:14 |
| Ardarandir | what exact package did you try to purge? | 23:14 |
| cody_ | firefox | 23:14 |
| Ardarandir | waah | 23:14 |
| Ardarandir | no! | 23:14 |
| Ardarandir | just try flashplugin-nonfree instead ;) | 23:15 |
| cody_ | same unmet dependencies | 23:15 |
| Ardarandir | really? while trying to PURGE it? | 23:15 |
| cody_ | yeah... | 23:15 |
| cody_ | and when trying to install whatever... | 23:16 |
| Ardarandir | sounds like you deleted more than that two files there... | 23:16 |
| cody_ | I think I have a bigger proble here | 23:16 |
| Ardarandir | well, did you have an upgrade lately | 23:16 |
| Ardarandir | ? | 23:16 |
| Ardarandir | try aptget install -f | 23:16 |
| Ardarandir | *apt-get | 23:16 |
| cody_ | I did use adept to try to update earlier | 23:17 |
| Ardarandir | maybe that didnt work out quite well? | 23:17 |
| cody_ | it had some problems but I just ignored it and didnt install the things it had problems with | 23:17 |
| replman | Hi! What command should i use to copy the home-directory to another hdd preserving the owners, dates, permissions, ...? | 23:17 |
| cody_ | -f worked, its running right now | 23:17 |
| Ardarandir | try "apt-get update -f" and "dpkg- configure -a" | 23:18 |
| Ardarandir | ouch - i meant "dpkg --configure -a" | 23:18 |
| Ardarandir | ok, that sound good | 23:18 |
| cody_ | I figured... | 23:18 |
| Ardarandir | so you had a not finished upgrade - thats the thing ou should check first next time youre experiencing packaging problems :) | 23:19 |
| cody_ | the weird thing is that in opera I can play the youtube videos but only for the first 5 seconds... | 23:19 |
| Ardarandir | well, thats no reason for deleting some files on your computer you dont really know what they do | 23:20 |
| cody_ | The nice thing about opera is that it actually tells me where it looks for plugins, and so I put the .so file where it looked | 23:20 |
| cody_ | I deleted .so files | 23:20 |
| cody_ | from plugin directories | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | sounds like its more of a flash issue then a plugins being in the wrong place issues. | 23:20 |
| Ardarandir | agreed | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | sounds liek flash is buffering/crashing or somthing | 23:21 |
| cody_ | hmmm, well I have downloaded it like 3 different times already... | 23:21 |
| cody_ | flash 10 that is. | 23:21 |
| cody_ | tar.gz file from adboe | 23:21 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: why not use the kubuntu packages? | 23:21 |
| cody_ | I didnt try the package management system though | 23:22 |
| Ardarandir | for what reason? | 23:22 |
| cody_ | I saw nonfree and decided that it costed money ha ha | 23:22 |
| Ardarandir | ouch | 23:22 |
| cody_ | lol | 23:22 |
| cody_ | rediculous I guess. | 23:22 |
| Ardarandir | try and google "free software" *g* | 23:22 |
| Ardarandir | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software | 23:23 |
| cody_ | alright finished with dowloading | 23:26 |
| Ardarandir | and configuring? | 23:26 |
| Ardarandir | try "apt-get install -f" and "dpkg --configure -a" several times, before and after a "apt-get upgrade" to be sure :) | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | yea. nonfree and 'restricted' could use better terms... for the repos | 23:27 |
| cody_ | dang, still the same shit | 23:29 |
| cody_ | cant play jack | 23:29 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: do a "apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree" and a "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" and, if i may speak as a teacher: learn about "free software" and write an one page essay about why adobe's "flash" isnt "free"... | 23:29 |
| Ardarandir | *smile* | 23:30 |
| HRshovinstuff | gnome-do is possible the coolest program ever created for ubuntu | 23:30 |
| cody_ | I write clicked on the window and it looks like it using something called swfdec to try to play the youtube videos | 23:30 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: SWF means "shockwave flash" and DEC means "decoder" | 23:31 |
| Ardarandir | cody_: 'd be best you just did as i told ya :) | 23:31 |
| Ardarandir | got to prepare some history lesson for monday, i'm AFK now, bye :) | 23:32 |
