[01:31] is there a wubi installer for kubuntu? [01:32] I think you have to have a Kubuntu CD [01:32] Or maybe just the image [01:32] I can't remember exactly how I did it [01:33] i want a .exe installer [01:35] livingdaylight: sry¿? [01:36] kubuntuuser: sry? [01:36] I'm pretty sure Wubi asks you for an .iso image or a CD [01:36] :S try softonic -> wubi [01:38] softonic? [01:38] seems the only way is to install ubuntu with wubi installer and then install the kubuntu desktop [01:44] # compiz-fusion [01:45] #compiz-fusion [01:58] what's a plasma desktop?? [01:59] Hi. If I need to unzip a .tgz file, what can I use? [02:00] you can use Ark [02:01] thx [02:02] sorry... what is a plasma dashboard?? [02:02] kinda new desktop i would say... [02:04] i dunno.. when i select it from the task bar, it goes grey... then if i click anything i seem to exit out of it [02:06] i've learned on gnome.. and am trying to broaden my scope with kde and a few other managers.. i keep wanting to lose the kde but keep hearing good things about it [02:09] Kubuntu is really a joke. [02:16] morning [02:16] any body use black berry 8700 here ? [02:16] i have got a problem with usb cable [02:17] i can not chage my phone battery [02:17] any solution then ?

[02:31] I've missed this channel... [02:32] anybody know why the heck my screen is flickering? [02:32] and is anybody else experiencing the same problem? [02:32] I have a feeling it *might* be because of the 915 resolution? [02:33] the package doesn't seem to exist anymore [02:33] anyone figure out the Aim installs yet? [02:34] tuanpham: i don't know, maybe google can help you? [02:34] :) thank i am searching [02:35] does anyone know the spell checker for 8.10 ? [02:36] when i use skype IM [02:36] i have no spell checker then [02:37] hi [02:37] hola [02:38] thought id check in and stay awhile [02:38] maybe i can learn something [02:38] I'm using ARK to unrar a file. There is an avi within the various rar files (.rar .r00 .r01 ... .r37). I open .rar and extract. Nothing is extracted. What am I doing wrong? [02:41] splitted .rar files can't unpacked with Ark [02:41] draik: did you check to the all file check box ? [02:41] draik: you can combine the rar parts into one [02:41] you can use 'unrar' or 'unrar-free' [02:41] tuanpham: It's only one file [02:42] epimeth: How so? [02:42] draik: try cat file.rar file.r00 file.r01 file.r02 .... file.r37 > new_file_name.rar [02:42] snyderios: Ok. I could have sworn I've done it in the past, but who knows. Thanks for the tip. [02:42] and then open new_file_name.rar in ark [02:42] it should work then [02:50] anyone know how to turn off the mouse touch pad taps? [02:51] Out_Cold: If you find out, let me know :-) [02:51] crap [02:51] i can find it no problem in gnome.... [02:51] oh? [02:52] yea.. it's fairly straight forward... but i've been trying to familiarize myself in the KDE [02:52] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-910254.html [02:52] try that? [02:53] epimeth: I tried and it did not work. The file is not being extracted. [02:53] file? [02:54] Yes. The avi file I'm trying to extract [02:54] oh [02:54] lol [02:54] sorry [02:54] I thought you were the other guy [02:54] yea.. got me too [02:54] Thought so, too. [02:54] draik: have you tried unrar? [02:54] How do I use unrar? [02:55] install the unrar program [02:55] apt get [02:55] and to use it, follow the instructions in "man unrar" [02:55] I'm sorry, I should ask, What's the syntax? [02:55] did you try 7zip ? [02:55] Ok [02:55] sudo apt-get install unrar [02:55] I have in installed. [02:56] now "man unrar" [02:56] and follow the instructions :-) [02:58] is there not going to be a katapult for kde4? [02:58] or do I just have to wait [02:58] I love katapult :-( [02:58] I was missing the "e" WHOOPSIE! [02:59] ??? [03:00] what is katapult? [03:01] anyone know a good IM that I can send txt msg's with? [03:01] katapult is only the best piece of software ever [03:01] that explains it all epimeth [03:01] in kde3, you hit "alt+space" and start typing in the program you want [03:01] it autocompletes and shows the icon [03:02] ok.. that sounds cool [03:02] pretty much the same as "alt+f2" in kde4 [03:02] buuuuuuuuut. I like the way katapult looks much more [03:02] I think katapult got retired by the regular run dialog [03:02] and I prefer alt+space over alt+f2 [03:02] :-) [03:02] Heh, you can probably change the keyboard shortcut [03:03] that would just be to easy though lol [03:03] and it wouldn't be as cool [03:03] exactly [03:03] :-) [03:04] Dragnslcr: how would you say I can change the shortcut? [03:04] and this screen flickering business is driving me nuts! [03:06] how about spellchecker ? [03:06] why is xorg.conf empty? [03:06] tuanpham: dunno dude [03:08] where the heck is everyone???? [03:09] epimeth- System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts [03:10] epimeth, prolly the wrong xorg.conf file lol [03:11] Out_Cold: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:11] everywhere it says that thats it [03:11] but mine is empty... [03:11] Dragnslcr: I don't see it there.... [03:12] It's in the Run Command component [03:12] that's no good.... you sure you have permissions to view it? [03:13] kdesudo kate :-) [03:14] weird.. mine is there... maybe you erased it... in which case... uh oh [03:14] I didn't do anything! [03:14] I'll reconfigure... that should bring it back [03:16] nope... still empty!!! [03:16] garrrrrr === Supricky06 is now known as SkEmO [03:19] hmmm... it says here that with the new changes to xorg I can run with an empty xorg.conf [03:19] so now I don't know how to add configurations [03:19] heh [03:20] I need to know what video drivers I'm using === vnlev is now known as newbie_ubuntu [03:35] epimeth: maybe u can try this command: displayconfig [03:35] HI, how do I change a hard-drive name? [03:36] soontak: command not found [03:36] newbie_ubuntu: hard drives dont have names [03:36] newbie_ubuntu: could you be more specific? [03:37] newbie_ubuntu: you want to change its mount point? (where it is located in the filesystem) [03:37] for example: i mount /dev/sdb4 to /media/games, but when I open dolphin, I see its name is DATA [03:38] so I want to change DATA to Games, is it possible? [03:38] you see /media/DATA ? [03:39] yes(DATA in dolphin) [03:40] newbie_ubuntu: open a konsole and type "cd /media" [03:40] and then "ls" [03:40] what do you see? [03:41] cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 Games Multimedia win [03:41] now "cd Games" [03:41] and ls [03:41] is that your drive? [03:42] also, is this a windows mount? [03:42] but why in dolphin: games=> DATA [03:42] newbie_ubuntu: exactly what I'm wondering. are you sure you're seeing DATA in /media??? [03:42] because that doesn't seem right [03:42] yes, [03:43] but just in dolphin [03:43] in windows, its label is Games === matrix_ is now known as zennon_guerra [03:44] newbie_ubuntu: thats really strange... I don't know much about dolphin [03:44] stick around... someone else might be able to help you [03:44] ok, thanks anyway [03:45] I'll try to find out [03:45] soontak: you still here? I don't have displayconfig [03:46] i need help me [03:46] i need hel [03:47] first, my english is terrible [03:47] but i will try [03:47] i am new with linux [03:48] zennon_guerra: just ask [03:48] and i want to know how to use compiz [03:48] ? [03:48] epimeth: yeah, which kubuntu version are you using? have u try to reboot into recovery mode and select on 'Fix X server' ? [03:48] 8,1,0 [03:49] and kde 4,1 [03:49] soontak: ibex. recovery mode isn't just a root shell? [03:49] so, i do everything but nothing happen [03:50] epimeth: in kubuntu 8.04, there are options for u to choose [03:51] epimeth: fix X or root shell.... and .... cant remember all [03:51] hi, are there kde 4.2 beta packages for intrepid? [03:53] epimeth: if u r using 7.10, maybe u can try this command on root: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:54] soontak: I tried that... it did literally nothing :-) [03:54] soontak: but again, I'm using 8.10 [03:57] epimeth: no idea then... [03:57] heh [04:00] epimeth: boot into recovery mode then, maybe some surprise for u? [04:01] lol [04:01] so I am going to be wiping one of the partitions of my desktop hard drive to install 8.10 soon. [04:01] any recommendations on which files (other than the home folder) to back up? [04:02] the whole thing [04:02] and pick out whats you need later [04:02] that's kinda what I am doing [04:02] just copy paste onto another hard drive [04:03] thats a good idea cuz if you forget something [04:03] not good lol === Jabrroa_BBL is now known as jabrroa [04:03] true [04:03] yea thats the way i do it and it has always come in handy later === fournos is now known as adonis8 [04:04] cuz you dont always remember everything :) === adonis8 is now known as fournos [04:05] i dont recommend kubuntu though lol [04:07] big on system resources. not that i have trouble with 3 nvidia 9800 GTX's with 1 gb video ram each in SLI mode. with 32 GB of corsair dominator ram and a AMD phenom 9850 black edition quad core [04:08] :) this baby flys' [04:08] lol [04:08] its sad, I built my system a long time ago and I've forgotten what I put in it [04:09] I know it has 2 GB of mem, it does have a video card on it but it wasn't working on 8.04 so I temporarily took it out. Gigabyte single core (its what was available at the time) [04:09] its not really worth it lol two years later its crap anyways [04:09] I have a crappy old lappy that barely runs XP, but kubuntu is just fine.... [04:10] yea kubuntu is just to much like windows for me lol [04:10] i switched to debian [04:10] debian was nice, but I find kubuntu easier to deal with [04:11] better community, easier initial settings [04:11] jabrroa: that is strange, because i use both debian and k/ubuntu, and for the life of me, you must be seeing a greater difference betweenthem than i am... [04:11] yea well lol [04:11] * DaSkreech hugs epimeth [04:12] maybe i just have to much graphical settings lol [04:12] * epimeth wags his tail [04:12] i liked ubuntu better even [04:12] okay, my kubuntu harddrive is 10 GB of data [04:13] epimeth, i used that link for the shmconfig and that shut off my touch pad typing.. [04:13] yea [04:13] this is going to take all night, which I don't really have. Any suggestions on which folders to copy [04:13] *tapping [04:13] the main thing in debian testing's favor for me right now, is having an up-to-date system that is still running KDE3 [04:13] * jmichaelx hugs KDE3 [04:13] Out_Cold: good :-) [04:13] KDE3 is nice [04:13] * epimeth misses kde3 [04:13] now i just gotta start liking KDE before i throw it out [04:14] bdizzle: what are you trying to do? [04:14] epimeth: install it [04:14] but I've been phasing myself into kde4 since they announced that ibex was going to be just 4, so i'm pretty used to it [04:14] i use backtrack3 and open suse occasionally [04:14] back up the hard drive so that in caes I need to go back to 8.04, I can copy back the user files and such [04:14] DaSkreech: does it come with all the new stuff? Network manager and the like? [04:15] epimeth: i like KDE4, and it is definitely _going_ to be nice, but right now it just isn't mature enough to be considered a stable desktop [04:15] bdizzle: Ah You need a /home partition [04:15] right now its saying about 30 minutes remaining [04:15] no definatly not lol [04:15] on my desktop, yeah, I do [04:15] lol [04:15] how large should I consider making it? [04:15] funny [04:15] DaSkreech: btw, you wouldn't happen to know how to check which graphics driver I'm using? my xorg.conf is empty [04:15] epimeth: No I've given up on Xorg [04:16] DaSkreech: lol... what are you using? :-) [04:16] Y :) [04:16] epimeth: i have been wondering the same thing... i just can't adjust to these changes! [04:16] or actually, I guess the better question is on a 100 GB dedicated space, how much should I allocate the root vs home partitions? [04:16] root 20 [04:17] and how do I set up the /home partition vs just install everything [04:17] I've adjusted except for lack of katapult... and I can't figure out how to map alt+space to alt+f2 [04:17] HI! [04:17] bdizzle: custom partition on install [04:17] epimeth: That should be partly fixed in 4.2 [04:17] With quicksand [04:17] ??? [04:17] !hi [04:17] Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [04:17] bdizzle, your root partition can be around 10-15 gb and be more than fine [04:18] Seriously [04:18] my / is 7 GB and I've never filled it [04:18] yea.. i use 8 [04:18] i have a 50gb [04:18] okay [04:18] but i have 5TB of space... [04:18] so 20 GB on root, the other 80 GB for home [04:18] lol [04:18] i will NEVER run out lol [04:18] jabrroa: you can install all of main and universe in that and still have space [04:18] I've got about 280 GB combined or so [04:19] i know :) and i got the sata's for free :) [04:19] you'll never need more than 10 Gb [04:19] jabrroa: don't say that, Bill Gates will find a way to make the minimum install for windows 2015 to be 1 TB [04:19] ahaha... I've heard *that* before [04:19] i do ALOT of downloading though [04:19] Out_Cold: No You'll never need more than 640k [04:19] haha [04:19] lol [04:19] i dont use windows :):):):):) [04:19] ok well he shouldn't ever need more than 10 [04:20] heh, lucky you. [04:20] I still have to dual boot whenever I come across something wine won't run [04:20] my uncle works for WD [04:20] use virtual boox [04:20] bdizzle: why not install virtualbox? it works great [04:20] :) [04:20] i win [04:20] i said it first [04:20] :) [04:20] also, why didn't you download crossover? it was free for a day! [04:21] I *know* I came in here and let everyone know [04:21] * DaSkreech gives jabrroa a box ... virtually [04:21] i did but not on free day [04:21] You won!! [04:21] epimeth: I did [04:21] :) [04:21] :0 [04:21] no [04:21] :( [04:21] but only on my laptop, haven't had a chance to install on desktop [04:21] do it :) [04:22] I need to figure out how to transfer about 10 GB of research data files to my desktop without a cable [04:22] bdizzle: 3 dvds? [04:22] teamviewer and 50 years lol [04:22] lol [04:22] pop out the hard drive? [04:22] I've got a 2 GB jump drive, but I was hoping to do it all in once [04:22] nea, not going that route [04:23] booooring [04:23] I can't afford to lose either computer thanks [04:27] pull out the HDD [04:27] plug it into the other one [04:27] dump files [04:27] plug it back in to other one [04:29] one is a desktop, the other a laptop, doesn't work that way that I am aware of [04:31] buy a case for the laptop hd.... 10 bucks on ebay [04:31] thats what i did.... [04:31] probably not. you can set up nfs shares [04:32] just copy over the local network [04:32] Daisuke_Ido: "no cables" [04:33]
