| VistaUser | yah | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| VistaUser | i dont like torrents because well u have to download them before u can here them | 00:00 |
| szrhawaii | thats like when they compare windows to mac | 00:00 |
| astromme | epimeth: No, but I'm pretty sure it's a kde3 app which would mean it would use your kde3 io-slaves | 00:00 |
| szrhawaii | yeah thats ture but if you know what you want your good | 00:00 |
| VistaUser | mac is better its purple | 00:01 |
| VistaUser | lol | 00:01 |
| VistaUser | umm what can i use to organize my ipod? | 00:01 |
| szrhawaii | haha and the find files bar is in the top right not the bottom left | 00:01 |
| loganWHD | [30/Nov/2008:18:55:52 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found! | 00:01 |
| loganWHD | not even sure what that means | 00:01 |
| epimeth | astromme: noooooooooo!!!! but its part of kdewebdev :-( | 00:01 |
| szrhawaii | theres a feature for that on your package manager | 00:01 |
| VistaUser | whats it called? | 00:02 |
| szrhawaii | i use amarok for everything but theres other good ones out there | 00:02 |
| VistaUser | u know any lol that is easy to use? | 00:02 |
| szrhawaii | i look them up | 00:02 |
| VistaUser | ok | 00:02 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: amarok is pretty good | 00:03 |
| astromme | epimeth: However, kde3 still has kioslaves.... | 00:03 |
| epimeth | astromme: yea, but I probably have to install them somehow.... | 00:03 |
| VistaUser | is it nice looking? | 00:03 |
| epimeth | astromme: and I'm very surprised that the kde team hasn't ported quanta yet.... | 00:03 |
| szrhawaii | yeah it is vistauser | 00:03 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: amarok, yea... I'm a fan | 00:03 |
| astromme | epimeth: Maybe there is a kde4 version that I don't know about. Go to help -> about Quanta | 00:04 |
| szrhawaii | you can modify it easily | 00:04 |
| astromme | I use amarok and love it | 00:04 |
| szrhawaii | and theres plenty of add ns | 00:04 |
| JontheEchidna | Quanta hasn't been ported to KDE4 yet btw | 00:04 |
| epimeth | astromme: yea, you're right... | 00:04 |
| JontheEchidna | !info quanta | 00:04 |
| ubottu | quanta (source: kdewebdev): web development environment for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 2435 kB, installed size 5900 kB | 00:04 |
| astromme | Currently I'm using the Amarok2 RC packages and they are great | 00:04 |
| epimeth | JontheEchidna: thanks :-p | 00:04 |
| astromme | JohntheEchidna: Thanks | 00:05 |
| VistaUser | apt-get install amarok? | 00:05 |
| JontheEchidna | ya, np | 00:05 |
| Dillizar | does anybody use Opera?? | 00:05 |
| epimeth | JontheEchidna: wait, its says Version 4!!! | 00:05 |
| JontheEchidna | epimeth: that's the debian epoch | 00:05 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: should be installed by default | 00:05 |
| szrhawaii | yep thats it vistauser | 00:05 |
| astromme | epimeth: The plot thickens... | 00:05 |
| VistaUser | oo kk | 00:05 |
| epimeth | oh... garrrr | 00:05 |
| szrhawaii | it should be in your media section | 00:05 |
| astromme | Oh, so thats what the 4: in everything is | 00:05 |
| VistaUser | not there :) | 00:05 |
| epimeth | so I can't view my scp folders in it anymore?!? that sucks | 00:05 |
| JontheEchidna | Back in the KDE2 days somebody used the svn revision number (30,000 or something) as the package version | 00:05 |
| astromme | epimeth: You can still use fish | 00:05 |
| szrhawaii | then download it from your package manager | 00:06 |
| epimeth | astromme: not that I can see... | 00:06 |
| VistaUser | szrhawaii u using KDE or ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| JontheEchidna | so we had to put a 4 in front of everything | 00:06 |
| astromme | epimeth: You're on intrepid, right? | 00:06 |
| szrhawaii | kde | 00:06 |
| szrhawaii | well kubuntu | 00:06 |
| szrhawaii | 8.04.1 | 00:06 |
| VistaUser | kubuntu is KDE? | 00:06 |
| szrhawaii | yeah | 00:06 |
| VistaUser | ooo i didnt know | 00:07 |
| VistaUser | cool | 00:07 |
| szrhawaii | they also have mythbuntu and xubuntu to | 00:07 |
| VistaUser | what that be and how i get? | 00:07 |
| gadalej | hi room | 00:07 |
| VistaUser | hey | 00:07 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: yea, by default. kubuntu and ubuntu are the same except for the default packages installed, mainly ones related to the window manager. kde for kbuntu, gnome for ubuntu | 00:07 |
| epimeth | astromme: yup | 00:08 |
| astromme | JontheEchidna: Shows what problems down the road one decision can make | 00:08 |
| szrhawaii | well myth is for like a person running a home entertainment off their laptop which runs xfce on it | 00:08 |
| szrhawaii | which xubuntu runs xfce | 00:08 |
| VistaUser | will i need to burn another ISO for those? | 00:08 |
| szrhawaii | depends if you only have the one cd or the multi cd | 00:09 |
| szrhawaii | i have the one that has all four on them | 00:09 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: you can use the online repositories, too | 00:09 |
| VistaUser | how did u get them? | 00:09 |
| szrhawaii | but yeah you would though | 00:09 |
| szrhawaii | just type those names in | 00:09 |
| szrhawaii | xubuntu | 00:09 |
| gadalej | yeah, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? | 00:09 |
| szrhawaii | and mythbuntu in google | 00:09 |
| VistaUser | ok | 00:09 |
| epimeth | gadalej: yup | 00:10 |
| VistaUser | and i can get there repos and get them into the start session thing? | 00:10 |
| szrhawaii | or you can do it that way too | 00:10 |
| epimeth | astromme: so any more suggestions? | 00:10 |
| szrhawaii | i would just download them from the web page | 00:10 |
| astromme | epimeth: I'm looking now... fish isn't working for me with quanta either =/ | 00:10 |
| VistaUser | ok | 00:10 |
| szrhawaii | avoids complications | 00:10 |
| szrhawaii | just in case you accidentally press the wrong button somewhere | 00:11 |
| VistaUser | will i be able to keep ubuntu to? | 00:11 |
| szrhawaii | like i do sometimes | 00:11 |
| VistaUser | does it become a new session thing in the options? | 00:11 |
| szrhawaii | i believe you get the option all the time to double partition with ubuntu | 00:11 |
| szrhawaii | at the beginning when you download the iso from the web page | 00:11 |
| VistaUser | ooooo kk | 00:11 |
| Walzmyn | Anybody know what to do if enabling desktop effects turned yer screen black? | 00:11 |
| astromme | VistaUser: Yes it becomes a new session | 00:11 |
| szrhawaii | of course it becomes a new session cause your re partitioning | 00:12 |
| astromme | Walzmyn: You can manually disable desktop effects by removing the kwinrc config file in ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc | 00:12 |
| szrhawaii | but save all your stuff before doing anything a friendly reminder | 00:12 |
| VistaUser | astromme: ok, if i get the repository and use synaptic | 00:12 |
| VistaUser | ok | 00:12 |
| astromme | szrhawaii: You can install both kde and gnome on the same ubuntu install | 00:13 |
| astromme | From gnome do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get kde | 00:13 |
| astromme | or rather | 00:13 |
| astromme | if you want to be able to remove it easily | 00:13 |
| astromme | sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop. Then to remove it, sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop | 00:13 |
| astromme | VistaUser: yes, synaptic works too | 00:14 |
| szrhawaii | astromme that manual configure for the desktop does it shut off completely | 00:14 |
| VistaUser | ok ty | 00:14 |
| astromme | szrhaaii: What? | 00:14 |
| szrhawaii | or when you restart will it come back on | 00:14 |
| szrhawaii | Walzmyn: You can manually disable desktop effects by removing the kwinrc config file in ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc\ | 00:14 |
| Walzmyn | astromme, should I just remove that file, or edit it and change a setting? | 00:14 |
| astromme | szrhawaii: it resets kwin to the defaults | 00:14 |
| VistaUser | brb | 00:14 |
| gadalej | anyone here using winfast tx2000xp in ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| szrhawaii | oh i was looking for a way to shut of my default background from drawing | 00:15 |
| astromme | Walzmyn: You can probably edit it but I'm not sure. Remvoing it will remove customizations to kwin (such as enabled desktop effects, screen positions of apps, etc) | 00:15 |
| szrhawaii | do you know what file that is | 00:15 |
| szrhawaii | or how to do that | 00:15 |
| astromme | szrhawaii: No idea | 00:15 |
| Walzmyn | astromme, good deal, thankyouverymuch. I'll go give it a whirl | 00:15 |
| astromme | epimeth: Hmm... It looks to be a no go here =/ | 00:15 |
| szrhawaii | it kind of sucks i gotta do the killall kdesktop everytime to see my other background | 00:16 |
| VistaUser | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 00:16 |
| VistaUser | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 00:16 |
| dr_willis | Are you root? | 00:16 |
| VistaUser | what does that mean and how can i get into the file or w/e | 00:16 |
| astromme | VistaUser: Are you sudoed? | 00:16 |
| dr_willis | :) | 00:16 |
| VistaUser | idk what that mean | 00:16 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install whatever.... | 00:16 |
| dr_willis | note the 'sudo' | 00:16 |
| VistaUser | ooooooo i need sudo | 00:16 |
| astromme | VistaUser: are you using synaptic or the command line? | 00:16 |
| szrhawaii | its a root if you cant get in | 00:16 |
| astromme | Woah, that was some irc lag | 00:16 |
| VistaUser | i am trying to get amorak | 00:16 |
| szrhawaii | did it give you a password option | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | yes... rember 'to do SYSTEM TYPE TASKS - one must be root' :) | 00:17 |
| epimeth | astromme: yea... garrrrr sucks | 00:17 |
| VistaUser | nope | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install WHATEVER | 00:17 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: sudo apt-get install amarok. but it should be installed already if you installed kubuntu-desktop | 00:17 |
| VistaUser | i was sudoed | 00:17 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: K -> Multimedia-> Amarok | 00:17 |
| VistaUser | ty i am trying to get xubuntu mythubntu and what not | 00:17 |
| szrhawaii | did you give a admin password or in the admin user session | 00:18 |
| VistaUser | yes | 00:18 |
| szrhawaii | then it should let you | 00:18 |
| VistaUser | kk i got it working i need sudo infront of apt-get | 00:18 |
| szrhawaii | you always need sudo | 00:19 |
| szrhawaii | its like abra cadabra | 00:19 |
| VistaUser | yah i just figured that out | 00:19 |
| dr_willis | dident we just say that in the examplkes.. like 3 times :P | 00:19 |
| epimeth | sudo make me a sandwich | 00:19 |
| VistaUser | LOL | 00:20 |
| dr_willis | sudo the hokey pokey | 00:20 |
| VistaUser | sudo pie-get eat | 00:20 |
| e-head | alright. it's working now. switching from a DVD rom to a CD ROM seemed to help. | 00:20 |
| jsunio | dumb question: would I want to create extra partion as extended or primary. It might be mounted by either linux or windows (dual boot). | 00:20 |
| astromme | epimeth: =/. Not good: <JontheEchidna> nope, they used to be in kdebase and now kdebase is at the kde4 version | 00:21 |
| epimeth | jsunio: your choice, really... just keep in mind that you can have either 4 primary or 3 primary and 1 extended (with up to 4 partitions on the extended) | 00:21 |
| epimeth | yea... I'm just gonna ssh and use emacs... even though its sloooooow | 00:22 |
| jsunio | epimeth: I googled what "extended partition" is, but I couldn't really find out why you would want to use it. | 00:22 |
| astromme | epimeth: kate isn't enough? | 00:22 |
| epimeth | astromme: I just threw up a little in my mouth | 00:22 |
| astromme | jsunio: because if you want more than 4 partitions extended partitions are the only way to go | 00:23 |
| jsunio | aha! | 00:23 |
| epimeth | jsunio: I just told you. an extended partition allows you to create 4 more partitions | 00:23 |
| jsunio | tx | 00:23 |
| astromme | epimeth: Blargh! What's wrong with kate? | 00:23 |
| epimeth | astromme: its a text editor. I'm developing | 00:23 |
| epimeth | astromme: kate is my editor of choice for conf files... not for creating an entire drupal driven site! | 00:24 |
| astromme | Out of curoisity, what does vim have that kate is lacking (not including the differing modes of interface, unless that's the reason) | 00:24 |
| epimeth | astromme: vim? I'd rather use kate! | 00:25 |
| epimeth | astromme: I'm an emacs boy | 00:25 |
| epimeth | :-) | 00:25 |
| astromme | epimeth: alright, emacs. I had a 50/50 chance =P | 00:25 |
| epimeth | and yes, its the interface modes. syntax highlighting, auto indentation | 00:25 |
| VistaUser | uis ubuntu and linux made for coding ??? | 00:25 |
| jsunio | you can use vi without a gui | 00:25 |
| epimeth | its a pain in the butt to do those things elsewhere | 00:26 |
| Walzmyn | woohoo! That worked guys. Thanks for the advise. | 00:26 |
| astromme | epimeth: Alright, I don't know if the auto-indentation exsists for kate but unless you've got some crazy language kate has excellent syntax highlighting. But, that's offtopic, sorry that quanta isn't working =/ | 00:26 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: well I'm just realized that kde4 is not yet ready for us developers, but kdevelop (in my case, kdewebdev) has some really good packages for developers | 00:26 |
| Walzmyn | I ended up just editing it. T'was a single true/false setting what fixed it | 00:26 |
| astromme | Walzmyn: Glad to hear | 00:26 |
| VistaUser | oo kk | 00:27 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: but in general, Linux is #1 for development, web dev especially | 00:27 |
| astromme | epimeth: I've been working with some of the svn builds of kdevelop4. Wow they are amazing | 00:27 |
| VistaUser | oo kk | 00:27 |
| VistaUser | well i guess i got to learn coding for fun :) | 00:27 |
| VistaUser | i installed amarok and now i cant find | 00:28 |
| szrhawaii | it should be in your multimedia section in your start menu | 00:29 |
| VistaUser | is there a command like sudo apt find amarok or someting???????? | 00:29 |
| astromme | Walzmyn: Out of curiosity what graphics card do you have? | 00:29 |
| astromme | VistaUser: apt-cache search packagename | 00:29 |
| astromme | you don't need to sudo that | 00:29 |
| VistaUser | oo kk ty | 00:30 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: I told you... K-> Multimedia -> Amarok :-) | 00:30 |
| VistaUser | ooo kk i guess i need to go into Kubuntu brb | 00:31 |
| e-head | Hey | 00:32 |
| astromme | e-head: welcome back | 00:32 |
| e-head | It seems to be going on fine now that I switched from a DVD to a CD ROM. | 00:32 |
| e-head | Can anyone point me to a "Kubuntu Quick Start" guide or something? | 00:33 |
| szrhawaii | vistauser you didnt download it in your ubuntu | 00:33 |
| e-head | One that ISNT geared to a total newbie. | 00:33 |
| dr_willis | Gee... you anything else you want? :P | 00:33 |
| e-head | Those 101 guides can kind of get on my nerves. ;) | 00:33 |
| astromme | e-head: Hmm | 00:33 |
| astromme | e-head: I might look at the KDE release notes | 00:34 |
| dr_willis | learning kde 4 - i would start with the kde4 help docs/homepage I guess | 00:34 |
| VistaUser | back | 00:34 |
| szrhawaii | did you find it | 00:34 |
| dr_willis | as for learning Linux. :) theres 10000's of guides for that - of all levels. | 00:34 |
| VistaUser | yah | 00:34 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: you weren't in kubuntu? then you could have just alt+f2 and then "amarok" | 00:34 |
| e-head | Does kubuntu have any sort of admin tools like Suse? | 00:34 |
| epimeth | in fact, you can do that in kubuntu too | 00:34 |
| e-head | Or does KDE for that matter? | 00:34 |
| astromme | It has a system config in "System Settings" | 00:34 |
| VistaUser | omg nvm i love kbuntu feel of things | 00:34 |
| e-head | Or, should I just open a console and break out vi for configuring my network settings and things like that? | 00:35 |
| astromme | e-head: to see things in 4.1: http://kde.org/announcements/4.1/ | 00:35 |
| VistaUser | ubuntu and kubuntu commands the same? | 00:35 |
| e-head | thanks | 00:35 |
| szrhawaii | kubuntu g=has a nicer feel of a lot of things | 00:35 |
| VistaUser | lol | 00:35 |
| e-head | It's been a while since I've even used KDE. | 00:35 |
| VistaUser | ubuntu and kubuntu commands the same? | 00:35 |
| szrhawaii | not all | 00:36 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: yes. there is no difference between the two | 00:36 |
| VistaUser | ok | 00:36 |
| epimeth | VistaUser: the only difference is in the window manager | 00:36 |
| VistaUser | how do i find my ipod in amarok? | 00:36 |
| VistaUser | epimeth ok | 00:36 |
| szrhawaii | with the window open you should be able to see options along the rights ide of the window | 00:37 |
| astromme | e-head: if you have specific questions ask them here. I can help. If you want general information try http://userbase.kde.org or the release notes I posted above | 00:37 |
| VistaUser | yah i see um but which is my ipod under i went to devices and nothing | 00:38 |
| astromme | Some of my best finds: alt-f2 for krunner (application launcher and more). Add some plasmoids (see the cashew on the panel or in the upper right hand corner) and play around with some apps | 00:39 |
| astromme | VistaUser: It should be in devices on the left hand side of amarok | 00:39 |
| VistaUser | i am there and its not there | 00:40 |
| astromme | Try plugging in your ipod after amarok is started | 00:40 |
| VistaUser | ok | 00:41 |
| e-head | Has anyone here used XRDP? | 00:41 |
| astromme | e-head: xrdp? Meaning just rdp for X11? | 00:41 |
| szrhawaii_ | #compiz-fusion | 00:41 |
| VistaUser | nope nothing | 00:41 |
| VistaUser | i think not compatible with itouch? | 00:42 |
| astromme | VistaUser: oh, yeah.... probably not =/ | 00:42 |
| e-head | astromme, yeah, pretty much | 00:42 |
| VistaUser | dang lol | 00:42 |
| szrhawaii_ | try finding the ipod plug ins | 00:42 |
| astromme | I think the iPhone/iPod touch need to be hacked to work with linux because of the new encryption | 00:42 |
| e-head | you can use Windows remote desktop with it. | 00:42 |
| astromme | but I could be wrong | 00:42 |
| VistaUser | so i need to do something to make work on linux | 00:43 |
| VistaUser | let me use google brb | 00:43 |
| astromme | e-head: alright | 00:43 |
| === zied is now known as zied_ | ||
| === zied_ is now known as zied | ||
| astromme | e-head: I think I'm going to go afk now if you don't have any immediate questions. If you're going to be using kubuntu for a while I would suggest getting amarok2 rc (check kubuntu.org). | 00:45 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as kabotage | ||
| === kabotage is now known as kabo | ||
| tpw_rules | i installed kdevelop on ubuntu and it did not come with several necessary packages, such as automake, konsole, and build-essential. does this only happen on ubuntu and kubuntu comes standard with it all? I know it comes with console, but what about the other two? | 00:47 |
| webmaren | i can't print with my hp c5180, it's giving me an error 5120 "Communication error" | 00:47 |
| webmaren | verified that it's not a hardware problem, it works fine with the Mac | 00:48 |
| dr_willis | I would imageine the developer of the package - dident include EVERY development package as dependencies.. :) | 00:48 |
| astromme | tpw_rules: You can use kdevelop to develop non-cpp applications, and kdevelop itself doesn't depend on those packages | 00:48 |
| VistaUser | is there a way to turn off the password thing to download thingS? | 00:49 |
| astromme | They are probably suggested but not depended-on | 00:49 |
| jsunio | webmaren: I had trouble with my printer too, did you try googling it? | 00:49 |
| webmaren | VistaUser: are you talking about using Adept? | 00:49 |
| tpw_rules | astromme: ah ok, but i was asking because suse comes with it all | 00:49 |
| astromme | VistaUser: ? meaning with sudo so it doesn't ask for your password? | 00:49 |
| webmaren | jsunio: I have but it doesn't seem that anyone has a real solution | 00:49 |
| VistaUser | no i mean when i download something from a site and when i ty install it always asks for a password | 00:50 |
| jsunio | Any evidence of people getting it to work? | 00:50 |
| jsunio | webparem: Any evidence of people getting it to work? | 00:50 |
| e-head | Good heavens | 00:50 |
| webmaren | VistaUser: you remember back when you had windows, and you got viruses? | 00:50 |
| e-head | Things have changed so much. ;) | 00:50 |
| VistaUser | yah | 00:50 |
| astromme | tpw_rules: Yeah, i'm pretty sure that it's not included because kdevleop doesn't depend on those packages. Rather, what you create with kdevelop might depend on them | 00:50 |
| e-head | I've been running EvilWM for the last 5 years. KDE isn't even recognizable to me anymore. ;) | 00:50 |
| webmaren | VistaUser: This is a security feature so that doesn't happen, otherwise anybody could install anything on your machine | 00:51 |
| VistaUser | oo kk | 00:51 |
| astromme | e-head: Wow, that's a long time. Yeah, kde is quite a different beast than it was even a year ago | 00:51 |
| tpw_rules | astromme: ok | 00:51 |
| webmaren | jsunio: haven't seen anything concrete | 00:51 |
| tpw_rules | astromme: but you need those packages to compile and run a c++ application | 00:51 |
| jsunio | webmaren: unfortunate... I never got my printer working. But I did find a bunch of different drivers to try. Some of them *almost* worked. | 00:52 |
| astromme | tpw_rules. Yes, I agree, but kdevelop can also be used for python, java, etc.... it's not just for cpp and imho it's not the package manager's job to guess what you're using kdevelop for. I use aptitude which auto-installs suggested packages and looking at the entry it suggests things like gdb, make, automake. | 00:53 |
| jsunio | webmaren: You could try a generic driver that works with other HP. I thought ubuntu worked pretty well with HP. | 00:53 |

| webmaren | jsunio: it worked excellently until today | 00:55 |
| jsunio | webmaren: does this apply https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper | 00:55 |
| jsunio | webmaren: oh... did you upgrade packages or something? | 00:56 |
| kabo | kde doesnt seems to be loaading at all. any way to fix it?? | 00:56 |
| astromme | e-head: I'm going afk. If you have a problem, address me directly so that my tray icon flashes =P | 00:56 |
| webmaren | jsunio: just normal updates, you'd think people would be grumbling all over the place if there was an actual bug... | 00:56 |
| jsunio | webmaren: sometimes things break for me when I do normal updates. Maybe the driver you were using, or some shared component was changed. | 00:57 |
| webmaren | i'm going to kill someone at HP | 00:57 |
| webmaren | my printer's IP jumped and that's why I lost it | 00:57 |
| jsunio | hah | 00:58 |
| webmaren | you'd think this sort of thing could be easily fixed, but noooooo | 00:58 |
| webmaren | at least, thank you "localhost:631" | 00:58 |

| bopferman | Hello, I am trying to get my Logitech quickcam pro 5000 webcam working with kubuntu. I couldnt find a native KDE webcam program (other than Kopete which doesnt support it for AIM) so I have tried to use cheese. This program does not show any video when using the camera. I have done a lsusb and the webcam is detected properly and I have also tested it working in Kopete. | 01:12 |
| harolddong | from what I've read its an issue tht the current linux kernal has with webcams | 01:15 |
| Num83rGuy | I hope I didn't step into a tabo subject. | 01:15 |
| Num83rGuy | *taboo | 01:15 |
| bopferman | The webcam works well in Kopete, it is detected, but only msn and yahoo are supported with that program. | 01:16 |
| harolddong | wecams worked fine for me with hardy but not since updating to intrepid. everything I've found says its a problem with the kernel | 01:16 |
| VistaUser | back | 01:17 |
| harolddong | yes it will be detected but you said you cant see any video... that's an issue a lot of people are having with the new kernel | 01:17 |
| bopferman | I do see video in kopete, but not cheese | 01:17 |
| VistaUser | anyone recomend any good packages | 01:18 |

| rhineheart_m | hello.. how to remove kubuntu? I want to retain system files.. won't use GUI anymore | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis_ | You mean you wish to remove the KDE desktop AND all the X server and related files? | 01:44 |
| rhineheart_m | yes | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | fire up package manager and start Uninstalling I guess.. | 01:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | Or you could just disable kdm from starting up.. and get a console login. | 01:44 |
| rhineheart_m | is there a way doing it in CLI? | 01:45 |
| rhineheart_m | mmm...how to do it? | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | the packaging system has the apt-get cli commands yes.. | 01:45 |
| rhineheart_m | I just want to disable KDE from startup | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | kdm service is started in the rc2 runlevel thers soms sysv tools to enable/disable those services | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | rhineheart_m, thats a TOTALLY differnt task then what you originall y asked then. :P | 01:45 |
| rhineheart_m | any command? in cli? | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | of course theres commands | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | this is linux. ;) | 01:46 |
| Dj_Lite | what happens when KNetworkManager stops working? | 01:46 |
| rhineheart_m | I dunno... I just can't login into desktop | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | see the directory /etc/rc2.d every script in there is an item ran at the startup | 01:46 |
| * Secutor is back. | 01:46 | |
| Dr_willis_ | rhineheart_m, so why do you want to disable kdm then? why not fix the desktop? | 01:46 |
| rhineheart_m | the password is correct | 01:47 |
| Dj_Lite | hmm.. | 01:47 |
| rhineheart_m | but it would go back to login page | 01:47 |
| rhineheart_m | everytime I will try to login | 01:47 |
| Dj_Lite | im trying to install my D-Link network adapter and the lights are flashing on it, how would i go about installing the drivers and such for it | 01:47 |
| rhineheart_m | mmm..maybe...allowing root login could solve the problem.. | 01:47 |
| rhineheart_m | can you teach me how to let root login in KDE? | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | I doubt if that 'fixes' anything... | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | go to the console, stop the kdm service, then try the 'startx' command. | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | you CAN login to a console? | 01:48 |
| rhineheart_m | yeah.. | 01:48 |
| rhineheart_m | both users can login to console | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | and both users can NOT login to X? | 01:49 |
| rhineheart_m | mm..the system won't allow root login | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | of course root cant login directly | 01:50 |
| rhineheart_m | but users can't too | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | you have 1 or 2 users? | 01:50 |
| rhineheart_m | system accepts the password but after the screen would turn to black then a matter of 3 seconds it goes back to login page | 01:51 |
| rhineheart_m | only 2 users | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | I would try as a test.. going to the console, and making a NEW user 'testuser' see if it also affects them | 01:51 |
| VistaUser | dr_willis | 01:54 |
| VistaUser | u still there | 01:54 |
| dr_willis | Yes.. for a little while. | 01:54 |
| rhineheart_m | dr_willis, how to make a new user? | 01:55 |
| VistaUser | kk i got KDE rght now and at the bottom right hand corner ist has those things and the time how do i decrease its big size | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | rhineheart_m, i use the 'adduser' command | 01:55 |
| dr_willis | VistaUser, you click on the 'cashew' icon at the far right to unlock the widget/panel and resize things with that.. Other then that.. its trial and error.. and in some cases not possible. :) | 01:56 |
| dr_willis | given how 'vague' our little chat is.. :) im not sure what exactly you are doing. | 01:57 |
| VistaUser | ok ty | 01:57 |
| VistaUser | what does remove this panel do? | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | I would guess.... removes the panel.. ;P | 01:58 |
| VistaUser | what is a panel? | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | The big widget at the bottom of your screen | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | where all your buttons are. | 01:59 |

| cuznt | !d-link | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about d-link | 02:16 |
| cuznt | dj it should do it automatically | 02:16 |
| cuznt | right click on the knetwork icon on your task manager | 02:17 |
| cuznt | and see if it shows any wifi | 02:17 |
| cuznt | if you do not see it | 02:17 |
| cuznt | try to turn the pc off unplug it and ensure it is seated properly | 02:18 |
| cuznt | ive had more problems with wifi on xp than this kubuntu | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | rhineheart_m, 2 things to try.. one is look in the 'sessions' menu on kdm, and see if thers some failsafe session, or other window managers to try. if not You might want to install one as a test (sudo apt-get install fluxbox) and try fluxbox, also a potential test to try befor.. | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | rhineheart_m, go to the console, kill the kdm service, and try 'startx' command.. | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | rhineheart_m, it sounds almost like either a X server/driver issue.. or a some sort of kde config issue. | 02:19 |
| rhineheart_m | i tried /etc/init.d/kdm stop but after that the screen turns black | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | You mean you tried 'startx' and the screen still went black? | 02:21 |

| harolddong | system sounds seem to work and I can play music with vlc and soungbird but amarok has no sound | 02:47 |
| harolddong | this just strt tonight as far s I can tell | 02:48 |
| cuznt | !sound | 02:49 |
| 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 | 02:49 |

| szrhawaii | did you downloas compiz-fusion | 02:55 |
| RangerDuRisk | yes | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | and with kde4 - that gives kde its own alternatives to compiz. | 02:55 |
| szrhawaii | when i did it came with emerald | 02:55 |

| cyberponix | in BIOS first thing that happens whe a computer is booted up you can enter into setup by pressing f2 or whatever your computer has as its setup and set security to lock your computer up tighter than just what the OS offers | 05:17 |
| jsunio | cyberponix: You cant even get to the OS? | 05:18 |

| Tm_T | Num83rGuy: see above | 06:52 |
| Colonel_Panic | that's what I used to update my drivers, and it only got me as far as 173.14.12 | 06:53 |
| Colonel_Panic | I want to update to at least 177.82 | 06:53 |
| Tm_T | yes, and envyng should do that | 06:53 |
| Colonel_Panic | but it didn't, so that's why I'm asking for help, OK? | 06:54 |

| gustavo | hola | 07:34 |
| ooglebutte | !hi | 07:36 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 07:36 |
| Brack10 | I'm trying to install Kubuntu 8.10 on a Dell OptiPlex GX260 with 512mb ram and a 40 gig IDE western digital hard drive. It looks like the installer is detecting the HDD as a SCSI RAID...so when I go to install it freezes at "Scanning Mirror" and if I cancel the installation at that point it boots up to a corrupt install which doesn't work. Any ideas what I can do about this? | 07:36 |
| noaXess | how can i reconfigure the xserver? | 07:37 |
| noaXess | sudo dpkg-reconfigure ??? | 07:37 |
| ooglebutte | Brack10: tried to install without the net connected? | 07:40 |
| Brack10 | Not yet | 07:40 |
| ooglebutte | noaXess: that'll get the basic setup | 07:40 |
| Brack10 | so unplug ethernet | 07:40 |
| noaXess | ooglebutte: i need to reconfigure the resolution.. wrong resolution | 07:41 |
| micha_ | Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. uname -a2.6.24-22-generic there is no package for virtualbox and my kernel ... ??? | 07:42 |
| ooglebutte | noaXess: I'm not sure3 how to do that with the new X - there might be a clue on the wiki -one min and I'll check | 07:42 |
| ooglebutte | Brack10: yep - try it with it unplugged | 07:45 |
| micha_ | isn't there a ose-module for the 24.22 kernel for virtualbox | 07:47 |
| ooglebutte | noaXess: try this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766272 | 07:48 |
| ooglebutte | micha_: is that the newest kernel? | 07:50 |
| micha_ | ooglebutte: probably not | 07:51 |
| ooglebutte | micha_: got another kernel hanging around you could use? | 07:52 |
| micha_ | i am still on hardy because i don't like kde4 up to now | 07:53 |
| ooglebutte | micha_: all I can suggest is you search for a kernel with the ose-modules available for it | 07:54 |
| micha_ | yes looks like there are no mudules available for that kernel ??? | 07:56 |
| haffouff_ | please i nedd help to configure my postfix. I want to send mails throught the internet | 08:04 |

| ooglebutte | luck :) | 10:27 |
| voicu | what would be the difference between an ethernet controller and a network controller? | 10:28 |
| voicu | i have a wire card and a wireless card on the machine | 10:28 |
| voicu | ethernet=wire, network=wireless? | 10:28 |
| ooglebutte | what does ifconfig return? | 10:29 |
| voicu | nvm, found them :P | 10:29 |
| ooglebutte | hehe | 10:29 |
| voicu | ok, cool so apparently i have a realtek r8101 card but the driver used is r8169 | 10:29 |
| voicu | modprobe r8101 says there is no such driver | 10:30 |
| voicu | is there a package i can install? | 10:30 |
| ooglebutte | !info r81669 | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Package r81669 does not exist in intrepid | 10:30 |
| voicu | !info r8169 | 10:31 |
| ubottu | Package r8169 does not exist in intrepid | 10:31 |
| voicu | i'm guessing they're part of some driver package | 10:31 |
| voicu | i tried looking in aptitude but i'm not sure what i need | 10:32 |
| ooglebutte | try the search button and ethernet | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tehnicaly a wireless connection has an ethernet address ;) | 10:34 |
| voicu | aptitude doesn't search through descriptions | 10:37 |
| ooglebutte | synaptic ftw | 10:37 |
| voicu | adept only shows application, not all the packages | 10:37 |
| voicu | oh, synaptic | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | apt ftw :D | 10:37 |
| ooglebutte | hehe | 10:37 |
| voicu | how do i search with apt? i don't want to pull all the gnome stuff | 10:38 |
| voicu | internet connection is slow | 10:38 |
| ooglebutte | apt-cache search "package" - no sudo needed | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | apt-cache search <something> | 10:38 |
| voicu | ok, thanks | 10:39 |
| voicu | i still don't know what to look for, i tried ethernet, network, realtek, r8169, r8101... | 10:42 |
| ooglebutte | voicu: try a google search ubuntu r8169 and see | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | or try ask.com | 10:44 |
| voicu | yeah, already did that, i'm looking at the results | 10:45 |

| ActionParsnip | xubuntu is awesome | 10:52 |
| voicu | is it possible that r8169 gets loaded because no other suitable module is found? | 10:53 |
| voicu | i still don't get why /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist doesn't work | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: id go for the rmmod script in ~/.kde/Autorun | 10:54 |
| === theseinfeld_ is now known as theseinfeld | ||
| ActionParsnip | voicu: until you can work out whats going on | 10:54 |
| voicu | actionparsnip: but that doesn't make the system load a different module for my card | 10:55 |
| voicu | i can't do anything without an internet connection | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: no, only unloads the one you want removing | 10:55 |
| voicu | i want r8169 blacklisted and maybe it will load another driver | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: you can use the packages on your install cd | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: i doubt it | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | what is the lspci output for your network device? | 10:55 |
| === melki is now known as Sleepallnight | ||
| === Sleepallnight is now known as FromIndonesia | ||
| voicu | lspci says it's a realtek r8101 | 10:56 |
| voicu | and there was a post on the ubuntu forums saying he/she solved the network problem by replacing r8169 with r8101 | 10:56 |
| voicu | i think it's the same thing with my card | 10:56 |
| voicu | there was no info on how he/she did that | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | then try: sudo rmmod r8169; sudo modprobe r8101 | 10:58 |
| ooglebutte | you can add it to /etc/modules and reboot maybe | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | looks like you need to compile your own: http://swik.net/Ubuntu/Planet+Ubuntu/Alessio+Treglia:+How+to+compile+r8168+and+r8101+modules+for+Realtek+ethernet+adapters | 10:58 |

| ActionParsnip | heres another good looking post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843398 | 10:59 |
| voicu | huh | 11:05 |
| voicu | nasty | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | simple compile, not too hard | 11:05 |
| voicu | yeah but still, it seems too hackish just to change a network driver | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: ubuntu doesnt ship with ALL drivers for ALL hardware so some must be compiled | 11:07 |
| voicu | i guess so | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | its not hackish at all as the drivers are from the official servers of the hardware manufacturers, just that to hold or o ship the install CD with such an array of software is completely unfeasible | 11:07 |

| SlimeyPete | wait, who? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | maek0: should do | 11:44 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | I appear to have a problem with Kopete. When it opens the KDE wallet service it's not recognising my password! | 11:44 |
| ooglebutte | maek0: if it doesn't you could try sudo update-menus | 11:45 |
| Chiselhuk_Plus1 | Is there anyway we can over ride/change my KDE wallet password on command line? | 11:46 |
| maek0 | ActionParsnip, ooglebutte well I would prefer it didn't list any KDE apps | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ooglebutte: gksudo for gui apps dude | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | maek0: then edit your menus and remove the unwanted items (if they are present) | 11:47 |
| ooglebutte | ActionParsnip: update-menus isn't gui... | 11:47 |

| voicu | where can i find the sources of the realtek driver? | 11:48 |
| maek0 | do they get listed ?? | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | maek0: depends how you installed stuff, it may be present | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | maek0: dpkg -l | grep -i adept | 11:49 |
| voicu | that is, where are the modules' sources unpacked? | 11:49 |
| faileas | voicu: i suppose if its a open source driver probably the realtek website | 11:49 |

| Tm_T | ValentineXX: install kubuntu-desktop metapackage | 14:43 |
| faileas | ValentineXX: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sancho21__: here's what I used: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html | 14:43 |
| ValentineXX | Tm_T: what is metapackage? | 14:43 |
| Tm_T | ValentineXX: package containing nothing but nice dependencies | 14:43 |
| marty__ | thx, a lot | 14:44 |
| ValentineXX | Tm_T: i will install full | 14:44 |
| Tm_T | ValentineXX: that's what it does (:) | 14:44 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: the new kernel gets a wrong root in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:45 |
| aaroncampbell | francisc1701: how can I fix it? It looks like it's going to boot on the older kernel | 14:46 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: just curious -- are you using hardy ? | 14:46 |
| ValentineXX | rich_: hi buy me a ram | 14:47 |
| marty__ | faileas: sorry i am new with kbuntu... where i can add the medibuntu repros? | 14:47 |
| Tm_T | marty__: did you read what ubottu mentioned? | 14:47 |
| ValentineXX | marty__: i am new to linux :D what is medibuntu : | 14:48 |
| Tm_T | !medibuntu | ValentineXX | 14:48 |
| aaroncampbell | francisc1701: ibex | 14:48 |
| ubottu | ValentineXX: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas | 14:48 |
| marty__ | thx | 14:48 |
| ebone | You know what makes me happy? .... apt. | 14:50 |
| ValentineXX | Staying in irc can give me a lot of knowledge daily :D | 14:51 |
| ValentineXX | ebone: what is apt? | 14:51 |
| ebone | I just set up a fresh new system, from an old debian system. | 14:51 |
| ebone | "man apt-get" | 14:51 |
| ebone | "man apt-cache" | 14:51 |
| manish | hey milos, u there, got a new problem today... want to install a usplash theme i have downloaded, it says cd into the directory and then press sudo make install and reboot. I did that but now dont even have the default usplash sceen coming up .. please help | 14:51 |
| ebone | man apt | 14:51 |
| ebone | ;) | 14:51 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: me -- hardy; anyway, open /boot/grub/menu.lst and check the new kernel's "root" parameter. it looks like "root=UUID=..." | 14:51 |
| ebone | It's a console package management system. | 14:51 |
| ebone | You can upgrade your entire system using it. | 14:52 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: compare that with the old kernel's root parameter -- most likely they will differ | 14:52 |
| manish | genii, want to install a usplash theme i have downloaded, it says cd into the directory and then press sudo make install and reboot. I did that but now dont even have the default usplash sceen coming up .. please help | 14:52 |
| Tm_T | ebone: we know, why all this advertising? | 14:52 |
| ebone | ValentineXX asked me what it was. | 14:52 |
| Tm_T | ebone: "man foo" isn't an answer here usually (:) | 14:53 |
| ebone | well, "man apt" can tell him a lot more about it than I can in a couple of minutes here on IRC. ;) | 14:53 |
| manish | Tm_T, can you help me solve my prob. I have typed it just moments ago .... | 14:53 |
| Tm_T | manish: sorry, don't know about usplash | 14:54 |
| snakeface | So is 8.10 slow or what? I keep hearing this. | 14:54 |
| ebone | Hey... what are the other package management options? | 14:54 |
| ebone | Why on Earth would it be slow? | 14:54 |
| ebone | Crappy kernel compile or something? | 14:55 |
| snakeface | look have you seen the news | 14:55 |
| snakeface | people are upset | 14:55 |
| manish | ebone, please if you know what should i do then help me with this. want to install a usplash theme i have downloaded, it says cd into the directory and then press sudo make install and reboot. I did that but now dont even have the default usplash sceen coming up .. please help | 14:55 |
| manish | thanks Tm_T | 14:55 |
| snakeface | saying it is not properly integrated with kde 4 | 14:55 |
| Tm_T | snakeface: not here | 14:55 |
| ebone | hmm | 14:55 |
| ebone | Did you do "make install" from a command prompt? | 14:56 |
| snakeface | i am just trying to figre out whether or not to install it. you guys are happy with it? | 14:56 |
| Tm_T | snakeface: as in, all is fine here, that's very, how would I say, shooting in the dark without more precise example or so | 14:56 |
| snakeface | no issues? | 14:56 |
| snakeface | kde4 is fast? | 14:56 |
| ebone | manish: I don't know much about these splash themes. Is this a KDE thing? | 14:56 |
| Tm_T | snakeface: I'm very happy, only very minor issues | 14:56 |
| snakeface | okay. | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | snakeface: its supposed to use less ram than kde3.5 | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | snakeface: its a bit twitchy | 14:56 |
| Tm_T | ebone: no, it's fancy stuff in boot before X or stuff | 14:56 |
| ebone | manish: Try opening the make file in vi or something and seeing what it actually does. Make sure it gets copied to the right spot, etc. | 14:56 |
| manish | ebone i guess not ,,, but i dont know to be sure | 14:57 |
| ebone | ahh. | 14:57 |
| ebone | Tm_T: Is it a grub thing? | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | snakeface: runs pretty well with fluxbox instead of kwin | 14:57 |
| snakeface | I have usually used kubuntu, but lately people have been saying opensuse is faster | 14:57 |
| Tm_T | ebone: after grub (:) | 14:57 |
| Tm_T | !usplash | ebone | 14:57 |
| ebone | I see. | 14:57 |
| ubottu | ebone: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | snakeface: depends on config entirely | 14:57 |
| manish | actually to be frank i i am a new bie and dont know which file should go where .. | 14:57 |
| genii | manish: I am having a problem with irc client that I am trying to sort out, I will not be of much help right now | 14:57 |
| ebone | manish: well, the makefile is just a text file. Open that puppy up in a text editor and just take a peek. | 14:58 |
| manish | hey ActionParsnip u back after a long time... Thanks genii. will catch up later on... | 14:58 |
| manish | ya am doing it right now | 14:58 |
| Tm_T | ebone: if he don't know about those things, prolly he has no idea what he should look, I guess? | 14:58 |
| ebone | yeah. probably so. | 14:59 |
| manish | ActionParsnip would you like to take a sneakpeak into the problem | 14:59 |
| ebone | Hey Tm_T ... what are the pacakge management options on Kubuntu? On the GUI end there is Aptitude? On the console end... apt and synaptic, correct. Anything else? | 14:59 |
| manish | Tm_T too true but i have been experimenting a lot these days .... want to learn stuff so... i am trying to guess what things mean | 14:59 |
| manish | ebone adept | 15:00 |
| ebone | adept. that's right. thanks. | 15:00 |
| manish | synaptic is for ubuntu i mean gnome | 15:00 |
| ebone | Is there a console synaptic? | 15:00 |
| Tm_T | ebone: Adept, wajig (my favourite) kpackage if you are insane | 15:00 |
| manish | nope | 15:00 |
| ebone | ohh. thanks. | 15:00 |
| ebone | wajig? | 15:00 |
| ebone | Is that KDE? | 15:00 |
| ebone | So, which is insane? Kpackage or wajig? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | manish: ask the room | 15:01 |
| ebone | How about Adept? Is it decent enough? | 15:01 |
| manish | ok ebone cant see if there is ne thing i can understand would you like to have a look at the make file... | 15:02 |
| ebone | Can you post it up somewhere? | 15:02 |
| ebone | So... from the console, apt is still the tool of choice I suppose? | 15:02 |
| manish | ActionParsnip there are only two people participating and both of them have absolutely no idea of the prob and genii is busy with her IRC client so was asking you | 15:03 |
| vbgunz | I'd like to be the first to ask about 4.2. whats the scoop in regards to Kubuntu? | 15:03 |
| manish | ebone should i on pastebin.ubuntu.com | 15:03 |
| Tm_T | ebone: Kpackage, not nice, wajig is mostly commandline, wrapper for apt and stuff | 15:03 |
| ebone | I see. Sounds like apt is the way to go on commandline still. | 15:03 |
| ebone | Is Adept any good? | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | manish: what do you wanna know? | 15:04 |
| ebone | He needs help with some sort of splash screen. | 15:04 |
| ebone | Can you help him? | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ebone: same sort of deal, id use what you are comfortable with | 15:04 |

| sancho21__ | ActionParsnip, not that one. I want to install prerelease 64 version of adobe flash 10 player. It is said I won't need greedy nspluginwrapper anymore | 15:06 |
| manish | here is the paste bin link for the make file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/78799/ | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | vbgunz: you'd have to find a repo with it on, its an early alpha right now and will be shakier than 4.1 | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sancho21__: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sancho21__: runs 64bit flash | 15:08 |
| sancho21__ | But the script installs the nspluginwrapper | 15:08 |
| sancho21__ | That's the trouble maker | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | sancho21__: hmm | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | maybe it neds it for sound or something | 15:09 |
| manish | So ActionParsnip i have the folder downloaded and all the files in place i just dont know why is it not working | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | manish: why what isnt working? | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | manish: ive not played with splash screens, i think they are redundant | 15:11 |
| sancho21__ | ActionParsnip: Look at this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sancho21__: then copy the so to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 15:12 |

| ActionParsnip | manish: ive no idea man, sorry | 15:23 |
| sancho21__ | I did | 15:24 |
| manish | ok then i will not bother you again with that ActionParsnip thanks any ways | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sancho21__: check the plugins in about:plugins | 15:27 |

| aaroncampbell | francisc1701: are you still around? | 15:52 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: yeah, still here | 15:53 |
| aaroncampbell | francisc1701: I finally got time, and checked my grub config...all the UUIDs are the same. Any idea why booting to the new kernel gives me the error that it can't find it? | 15:53 |
| aaroncampbell | Again, I'm on Intrepid | 15:53 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: if they are all the same then run "sudo blkid" and see what uuid is assigned to your root partition | 15:54 |
| aaroncampbell | Same | 15:55 |
| aaroncampbell | francisc1701: I do know that in order to make things work, I always have to change hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) in grub ... | 15:56 |
| aaroncampbell | Is this maybe an extension of that problem? | 15:56 |
| ldif | hello | 15:56 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: dunno; see if that uuid is listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 15:57 |
| aaroncampbell | francisc1701: yep, it's a link to ../../sda1 | 15:57 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: you only have to change hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) if your kubuntu is installed on the second hard drive -- is that the case? | 15:59 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: have you googled the exact error message you get? | 16:00 |
| francisc1701 | aaroncampbell: does your old kernel boot? | 16:01 |

| kubuntu_ | *cosole | 16:19 |
| faileas | !su | 16:19 |
| 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) | 16:19 |
| genii-around | kubuntu_: Root acount in (K)ubuntu are disabled by default. Don't use su | 16:19 |
| SlimeyPete | kubuntu_: there is no root account by default | 16:19 |
| faileas | kubuntu_: use sudo and the password for the first account you created | 16:20 |
| genii-around | faileas: Thanks :) | 16:20 |
| kubuntu_ | so if i will install .bin file in terminal i write sudo -i (name of the file)? | 16:26 |
| kubuntu_ | or what? | 16:26 |

| jeremy___ | Hi | 16:46 |
| jeremy___ | I have a few questions about the Ubuntu flavour of linux that I installed via Wabu on a hard drive partition in a dual boot | 16:46 |
| Nece228 | help me!!!!!!!! | 16:46 |
| jeremy___ | If somebody could please assist me to solve these difficulties I would be very grateful | 16:46 |
| faileas | wubi | 16:47 |
| faileas | shoot away. don't ask to ask ;) | 16:47 |
| jeremy___ | Yes, OK, sory | 16:47 |
| jeremy___ | Well, first off | 16:47 |
| jeremy___ | I am very new to the linux system, and I would like to know if there were any possible way that I could dual-boot FreeBSD, as I've heard from friends that it is the most beginner-friendly flavour of linux, along wit hmy previously installed OS windows vista | 16:48 |
| Nece228 | and why kubuntu 8.10 dont boots every third time? | 16:48 |
| loganWHD | Nece228: if u find rthe answer to the freezing let me know | 16:49 |
| loganWHD | cause happens to me all the time | 16:49 |
| jeremy___ | Faileas, do you have any suggestions or advice? | 16:49 |
| Reisei | Hi2All! | 16:49 |
| noaXess | what the h.. is this blinking caps-lock problem? is that really a kernel panic?.. where can i get this panic log entrie? | 16:49 |
| genii-around | jeremy___: FreeBSD is an entirely different animal than Kubuntu Linux. You might want to ask somewhere they know about FreeBSD...it uses a different bootloader system, disk partitioning system and packaging system than most linux as well. | 16:50 |
| noaXess | sonce friday my nobeook runs ok.. 24h per day.. now.. boom.. caps lock blinking and all is freezed | 16:50 |
| Nece228 | loganWHD: ok, but i dont thing that ill fould solution | 16:50 |
| Nece228 | loganWHD: *think | 16:50 |
| loganWHD | yah | 16:51 |
| faileas | jeremy___: it isn't linux, and in my experience freebsd is not easy to install | 16:51 |
| jeremy___ | OK well then I guess I would like to stick to kubuntu | 16:51 |
| jeremy___ | So, now on to my other questions | 16:51 |
| genii-around | jeremy___: I recommend visiting channel ##freebsd to learn more about freebsd | 16:51 |
| jeremy___ | I have a problem opening up executable files | 16:51 |
| faileas | er.. | 16:51 |
| faileas | like .exe executable files? | 16:51 |
| jeremy___ | Yes | 16:51 |
| Nece228 | loganWHD: so still you are using system which randomly freezes? | 16:51 |
| faileas | you need wine for those, even then its not certain it will work | 16:52 |
| faileas | .exe = windows files | 16:52 |
| BluesKaj | dunno why one woukd want freebsd and kubuntu on the same machine ..one or the other , but not both | 16:52 |
| jeremy___ | I see | 16:52 |
| loganWHD | yah | 16:52 |
| jeremy___ | Well I guess that explains it then! | 16:52 |
| faileas | BluesKaj: i considered it at one point ;p | 16:52 |
| loganWHD | i upgraded to 8.10 | 16:52 |
| loganWHD | and not too happy | 16:52 |
| jeremy___ | Next up: | 16:52 |
| jeremy___ | I want to set up an IRC server, which is the main reason for switching it linux | 16:53 |
| Nece228 | loganWHD: when i disable effects or use compiz instead of kwin i dont notice that problem | 16:53 |
| jeremy___ | I'm not quite sure how I might go about doing this | 16:53 |
| faileas | jeremy___: there's some in the repos, though most people use unreal + anope. | 16:53 |
| jeremy___ | I have the unreal 3.2.7 already extracted onto my drive | 16:54 |
| faileas | which requires compiling, but its a good learning experience | 16:54 |
| jeremy___ | But the tutorials I've read tell me to type commands, where I have no idea to type | 16:54 |
| loganWHD | Nece228: here is the problem i have.... 8.10 was so horrible i formatted and installed something called mini.iso | 16:54 |
| faileas | jeremy___: you also need the build essential package, then you can compile and run it | 16:54 |
| faileas | jeremy___: total newbie? | 16:54 |
| loganWHD | it is the 8.10 system but with NOTHING in it | 16:54 |
| jeremy___ | Yes, very | 16:54 |
| loganWHD | so i have to add things as i go.... | 16:54 |
| loganWHD | i do not know the name of the "control panel" type thing where i go to disable effects | 16:55 |
| jeremy___ | Oh I do | 16:55 |
| jeremy___ | right click on the desktop | 16:55 |
| faileas | jeremy___: it should be something called 'konsole'. i recommend getting a package called yakuake though- its a drop down console | 16:55 |
| jeremy___ | And where would I get this | 16:55 |
| jeremy___ | And why? | 16:55 |
| jeremy___ | I have something called "terminal" | 16:56 |
| jeremy___ | That's what I've been wondering if they're referring to THAT to type commands | 16:56 |
| loganWHD | alt-get install konsole | 16:56 |
| faileas | jeremy___: terminal does the same. its wierd, i thought terminal was for ubuntu, and konsole is for kubuntu | 16:56 |
| faileas | both are terminal emulators | 16:56 |
| jeremy___ | I have ubuntu | 16:56 |
| faileas | jeremy___: i assumed you had kubuntu ;p | 16:56 |
| Reisei | you need gnome-terminal, i think. | 16:57 |
| faileas | yeah type em in terminal | 16:57 |
| Reisei | if you have kubuntu, the use konsole. | 16:57 |
| Reisei | *then | 16:57 |
| jeremy___ | OK so now, I have an extracted directory labeled IRCD on my user called jeremy | 16:57 |
| jeremy___ | and it's telling me to type a command that it doesn't recognize | 16:57 |
| faileas | jeremy___: you need to install build-essential | 16:58 |
| faileas | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 16:58 |
| faileas | then try ./configure and such | 16:58 |
| jeremy___ | E: Couldn't find package build-essential | 16:59 |
| faileas | er | 16:59 |
| faileas | thats odd | 17:00 |
| faileas | mine has it | 17:00 |
| loganWHD | me too | 17:00 |
| jeremy___ | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 17:01 |
| jeremy___ | that's what I typed | 17:01 |
| jeremy___ | any errors? | 17:01 |
| Pici | jeremy___: What is the output of uname -a ? | 17:01 |
| faileas | mine already has it installed | 17:01 |

| SteBo | JontheEchidna: thanks for the info. :-) | 18:36 |
| snikker | dr_willis: how? | 18:37 |
| dr_willis | creative bash ussage of the commands and the use of $() most likely | 18:38 |

| HeMan | Hi! Is there any kde3 repos for intrepid or do I need to install an older version of kubuntu? | 18:56 |

| nafion | hi all. im running kubuntu intrepid and cant get my SB Audigy LS card to work. it worked at first, but stopped after a kernel upgrade. im running the snd_ca0106 module, which i believe is default for my card, but would be ok with reverting back to an old emu10kx module. could someone help me through the reversion process or offer any other help? thx! :) | 19:02 |
| Barackuse | I have a quick question regarding LAMP instalation on 8.10, I know that the server version gives the option to install it during the basic installation. But how would I install it in the Desktop version? | 19:02 |
| sigma20 | !lamp | 19:03 |
| ubottu | 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+) | 19:03 |
| jschall | what's the best version of the nvidia drivers to use for the desktop effects? | 19:03 |
| sigma20 | 177.80 | 19:03 |
| jschall | i'm using those, and i'm getting a bunch of weirdness | 19:04 |
| sigma20 | but its a tad bit buggy on kde4. may wana try the 180 beta | 19:04 |
| jschall | can i get those from the repos? | 19:04 |
| sigma20 | nope have to compile | 19:05 |
| jschall | oh | 19:05 |
| PhilRod | sigma20: something like this, I think: "kdmctl shutdown halt forcenow" | 19:05 |
| PhilRod | you might need to sudo it | 19:05 |
| sigma20 | think the final 180 is due in december though | 19:05 |
| jschall | next problem: why can't i use my mouse back/forward buttons in konqueror to go back/forward? i'm about to flip out and kill someone over this | 19:05 |
| jschall | i'm really really really used to those buttons | 19:05 |
| sigma20 | PhilRod: but will that logout properly? | 19:06 |
| jschall | all the binding interface things in kde seem to be keys ONLY | 19:06 |
| Barackuse | sigma20: Thanks Sigma, however I already stated that I knew all of that info. I was just looking for an easy sudo command line that would apt-get the package and install it. | 19:06 |
| sigma20 | prob will be fixed in jaunty | 19:07 |
| sigma20 | look at help.ubuntu.com for the command. its in the server guide | 19:07 |
| \Kira | how can I boot into the kubuntu live cd without graphics? I just want a terminal | 19:07 |
| jschall | apart from this ONE issue with mouse buttons i'm really really loving kde, how do i bind mouse buttons to things like back/forward in konqueror, or bind meta+scroll to zoom? | 19:08 |
| Barackuse | sigma20: Checking that now | 19:08 |

| brian____ | ive done it a million times, even a few on identical hardware | 19:25 |

| tkstka_ | ok.. I have a problem.. All the programs and webpages dont save passwords | 19:28 |

| ikonia | keychain | 19:29 |

| ikonia | brian____: how are you installing flash ? | 19:30 |
| VistaUser | ooo kk | 19:30 |
| brian____ | ikonia: ive tried the tar.gz manual method, ive tried the .deb, and most recently ive tried via adept | 19:31 |
| ikonia | brian____: right, so thats probably a big part that you'll have different version mix/matched | 19:31 |
| ikonia | brian____: I suggest you install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" and see how that works | 19:32 |
| brian____ | ikonia: before i tried the other versions i tried only the tar.gz which would alwayus work... ok ill try that | 19:32 |
| ikonia | brian____: if your having a problem, work one method through, don't try random things as it makes it harder to clean up | 19:32 |
| ikonia | brian____: the tar.gz is not the supported method | 19:32 |
| brian____ | ikonia: i should delete ~/.mozilla? | 19:32 |
| Barackuse | I have to admit, Ubuntu 8.10 installs very nicely on Virtual Box over XP | 19:32 |
| ikonia | brian____:no, as the tar file can put a global library on | 19:32 |

| Cimmo | probably they are already installed | 20:08 |
| Ramblurr | Cimmo: there are older versions of gcc, but not g++.. specifically I'm looking for g+++ 3.4 | 20:10 |
| Cimmo | Ramblurr: you asked for gcc :P | 20:11 |

| jschall | JontheEchidna: ok, thanks. apart from that, i've managed to crash dolphin and adept in the first few hours of kde use, which leads me to believe there's something wrong with the whole install. | 21:33 |
| jschall | JontheEchidna: what should i do about that? | 21:34 |
| JontheEchidna | hmm, I don't know. How did adept crash? We haven't really been getting many reports of that crashign | 21:34 |
| jschall | JontheEchidna: when i tried to update it was crashing left and right and eventually ended up telling me to restart, and then it kernel paniced when i booted, so i had to boot with the older kernel and do dpkg --configure -a to fix apt | 21:35 |
| JontheEchidna | o.o | 21:35 |
| jschall | JontheEchidna: i think it decided it was done before it actually was | 21:35 |
| jschall | JontheEchidna: or something | 21:36 |
| jschall | JontheEchidna: i'm thinking maybe i should just reinstall the whole OS | 21:36 |
| SJrX | Why does the back of the Kubuntu CD Package say that it's ideal for servers | 21:37 |
| dr_willis | jschall, i think its kde4 thats just flakey. not the whole os. :P | 21:37 |
| jschall | dr_willis: maybe i'll go back to gnome then | 21:37 |
| dr_willis | SJrX, why not. ;) It can do servers.. | 21:37 |
| dr_willis | jschall, i got both installed.. every so often i try out kde4 again.. then go back tp my JWM+rox-filer setup | 21:37 |

| tkstka_ | :D | 21:38 |
| SJrX | me too | 21:38 |
| tkstka_ | I accidently took away my toolbar from the bottom | 21:39 |
| SJrX | KDE 4 seems to have made a right turn for idiot land. | 21:39 |
| tkstka_ | :C | 21:39 |
| tkstka_ | what do I do | 21:39 |
| tkstka_ | ? | 21:39 |
| tkstka_ | I need it | 21:39 |
| jschall | dr_willis: i can honestly say i think kde4 look beautiful and is generally very well done, except for 1. crashing, and 2. binding mouse buttons is impossible. | 21:39 |
| tkstka_ | I'm not hardcore enough to play with the console | 21:39 |
| tkstka_ | alone | 21:39 |
| SJrX | KDE 4.1 is too iniovative... | 21:40 |
| SJrX | tkstka_ try restarting KDE? | 21:40 |
| jschall | innovative? | 21:40 |
| tkstka_ | how? | 21:40 |
| tkstka_ | I'll do what ever you say me to do:) | 21:40 |
| SJrX | tkstka_ CTRL+ALT+BKSP after you've closed everything is an easy way | 21:40 |
| SJrX | he should have read the entire thing. | 21:40 |
| jschall | you should really logout before you ctrlaltbksp | 21:41 |
| _gunni_ | jschall: The crashes are innovative compared to 3.5 :) | 21:41 |
| SJrX | He couldn't find his toolbar | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | jschall, i get constant video 'curuption' glitzes and its amazingly sluggish on my laptop.. as for look.. I dont really think it looks that great.. but i perfer nice clean/clear GUI's i dont need gradients/animations/so forth..I should be able to instantly see what i need. :) | 21:41 |
| SJrX | I get those too actually, dr_willis, with my nvidia 7400 Go. But more importantly I find that there are alot less options than in KDE 3.5. It seemed that everything you wanted to do, could be done in KDE 3.4 | 21:41 |
| SJrX | 3.5* | 21:42 |
| _gunni_ | But i love it anyway | 21:42 |
| SJrX | ANd now they have these things where your Desktop is nothing more than a wallpaper | 21:42 |
| jschall | dr_willis: i think kde does the compositing very well, i do get a few glitches but i assume it's a driver problem. | 21:42 |
| dr_willis | the whole 'desktop is a folder/garbage dump' has gottenout of hand.. I like how rox-filer handles the desktop with its pinboard feature | 21:42 |
| v6lur | which package gives the magic ability of file previews of ODF files in konqueror? | 21:43 |
| Colonel_1 | hey | 21:43 |
| v6lur | right now they only show the icon | 21:43 |
| jschall | dr_willis: the ONLY things keeping me from switching to kde are: crashes and binding things to mouse buttons. that's it. | 21:43 |
| killermach | ok.. well komparator has crashed 2 times.. any suggestions on another duplicate file locator app to use? | 21:43 |
| v6lur | previews are enabled for everything | 21:43 |
| SJrX | Hmmmm dr_willis I have a recursive set of folders on my desktop called "Old Desktop" | 21:44 |
| SJrX | that contain over 12 levels of old desktops. | 21:44 |
| SJrX | Going back to 2003 | 21:44 |
| === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde | ||
| jschall | dr_willis: binding things to mouse buttons doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it is. i can probably get around it by binding the mouse buttons to keys and then binding the keys, so that just leaves crashing. | 21:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | how can I upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid using the command line? | 21:45 |
| v6lur | and for example previews of PDF files are shown nice | 21:45 |
| SJrX | Colonel_Panic I Think it's system-update-manager | 21:45 |
| Colonel_Panic | I need to change the sources first, right? | 21:45 |

| Colonel_Panic | so I keep getting disconnected | 22:08 |
| Colonel_Panic | I need to get this nvidia driver issue sorted out | 22:09 |
| jussi01 | Colonel_Panic: are you the same as Colonel_2 | 22:09 |
| bluestyle | how can i fix the sound in 8.10 | 22:11 |
| Colonel_Panic | can somebody please help me with this? | 22:11 |
| bluestyle | ? | 22:11 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm thinking that if I upgrade to Intrepid, the driver issue will be fixed | 22:11 |
| Colonel_Panic | but I can't get to a GUI to be able to edit my /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file | 22:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | should I use VI or what? | 22:12 |

| dr_willis | loganWHD, kde4 is very much a work in progress it seems to me. | 22:25 |
| dr_willis | loganWHD, try some other desktop perhaps. they may be more stable | 22:25 |
| loganWHD | yah | 22:26 |
| loganWHD | i am dling 8.04 | 22:26 |
| dr_willis | You could just install some other desktop on 8.10 | 22:26 |
| dr_willis | and then test out kde4 as it gets updated every month or so - see if it starts working better. | 22:27 |
| loganWHD | true | 22:27 |
| dr_willis | and yes.. kde3 repos are in the works.. i hear. | 22:27 |

| Semidios | so I just installed Kubuntu after spending a lot of time with Ubuntu. Got almost everything fixed, but I am having trouble when I right click on anything (and tooltips) there are no words, just a blank menu. if I move over the menu really fast I can see the words flash and dissappear. | 22:46 |
| mateusz | siemka | 22:47 |
| mateusz | hay | 22:47 |
| mateusz | :) | 22:47 |
| trampel | Semidios: it's just a wild thought, but maybe your current 'theme' has your font color and menu background color set to the same value ...? | 22:48 |
| Semidios | trampel, i doubt that is the issue only because the tooltips have a yellow background and the menus are gray | 22:50 |
| === berserk_ is now known as |Berserk| | ||
| trampel | Semidios: my tooltips are that same color scheme, but my right-click menu is a different color scheme, so they must be set via different resources [shrug] | 22:52 |

| yacc | What's the way to upgrade 8.04 to 8.10? | 23:16 |
| dale | TY... | 23:16 |
| szrhawaii | upgrade through your package manager | 23:16 |
| yacc | adept does not offer me to upgrade the release? | 23:17 |
| szrhawaii | it should | 23:17 |
| szrhawaii | mine does | 23:17 |
| szrhawaii | its up in the top right hand corner its a blue button that says upgrade | 23:17 |
| Cimmo | !intrepid | 23:18 |
| szrhawaii | have you updated your adept ever | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion. Kubuntu Intrepid will have KDE 4 as the default Desktop Environment - see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidVersion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! | 23:18 |
| yacc | szrhawaii, my hardy is completely up-to-date. | 23:18 |
| Cimmo | adept doesn't offer update anymore | 23:19 |
| yacc | Cimmo, so how do I do it? | 23:19 |
| szrhawaii | mine has it | 23:19 |
| szrhawaii | i just havent done it | 23:19 |
| Cimmo | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu | 23:19 |
| szrhawaii | i prefer the older version better | 23:19 |
| szrhawaii | she can go to terminal and do the sudo apt-update | 23:19 |
| yacc | Cimmo, thx, now let's hope my laptop survives it :) | 23:21 |
| Cimmo | yacc: honestly I do not like kde 4.1 | 23:21 |
| szrhawaii | make sure you download an iso and burn a cd just in case | 23:21 |
| Cimmo | I will wait for 4.2 | 23:21 |
| Cimmo | 4.1 really sucks | 23:21 |
| szrhawaii | i will wait til there down working the bugs out | 23:21 |
| msnbot | Hello how can I install Kdevelop documentationsHello how can I install Kdevelop documentations | 23:22 |
| msnbot | how can I install manual for cpp. like man string.hhow can I install manual for cpp. like man string.h | 23:22 |
| yacc | Cimmo, Well, if it sucks to much, I'll probably rotate desktop environment yet another time, ... | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | chexck the package manager - seeif theres a kdevlop doc. | 23:22 |
| yacc | I think next in the periodic env change queue is ion3 ;) | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | apt-cache search doc for a start perhaps? | 23:23 |
| === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir | ||
| msnbot | dr_willis: man socket works in interpid but not in hardy. | 23:23 |
| msnbot | I need the package name | 23:23 |
| szrhawaii | do you want the dev files for dev | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | check the packae listings for both machines and compare the 2 i guess. | 23:25 |
| szrhawaii | yeah | 23:25 |
| yacc | cimmo: My "distribution-upgrader" window hangs and does not paint itself anymore ;( | 23:25 |
| szrhawaii | it should be kdevelop, kdevelop-data, kdevelop-dev, kdevelop-doc | 23:25 |
| msnbot | i found cpp-4.2-doc may be it will hap | 23:25 |
| msnbot | szrhawaii: kdevelop-doc is not working. says the package is missing | 23:26 |
| Cimmo | yacc: wait... | 23:26 |
| szrhawaii | did you download it | 23:26 |
| msnbot | szrhawaii: no. its what apt-get says | 23:28 |
| === Guest50056 is now known as ShrimP | ||
| szrhawaii | then you got to go to your package manager and download it | 23:29 |
| msnbot | I just need "man socket", "man mysql_connect". cause I forget it. it my finger works faster in console. | 23:29 |
| === ShrimP is now known as Guest89929 | ||
| msnbot | apt-get install kedevelop-doc does notwork. | 23:29 |
| yacc | Cimmo, yeah, it just too some time to figure out that it will take 41 minutes to fetch the packages ;) | 23:30 |
| msnbot | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 23:30 |
| msnbot | is only available from another source | 23:30 |
| msnbot | E: Package kdevelop-doc has no installation candidate | 23:30 |
| szrhawaii | try changing your repos | 23:30 |
| msnbot | sorry for multiple lines | 23:30 |
| szrhawaii | to allow you to | 23:30 |
| msnbot | Idont know which repo it is in. | 23:31 |
| szrhawaii | try the third party one | 23:31 |
| msnbot | szrhawaii: it should be in official repo. I used it built in installed in Fedora. | 23:32 |
| szrhawaii | are you using synaptic | 23:32 |
| szrhawaii | it should be | 23:32 |
| szrhawaii | it is for hardy | 23:32 |
| dwidmann | yacc: see kubuntu.org for upgrade instructions | 23:32 |
| msnbot | szrhawaii: no. I am using console | 23:32 |
| yacc | dwidmann, I'm already in progress ;) | 23:32 |
| szrhawaii | try using your synaptic | 23:32 |
| szrhawaii | see what happens | 23:33 |
| yacc | dwidmann, now the only "fascinating" thing is to see if the stupid thing will reboot after the upgrade. | 23:33 |
| dwidmann | yacc: , ah, good, especially seeing as I wasn't scrolled all the way down :s | 23:33 |
| msnbot | is synaptic in Kubuntu? I am a pure Kubuntu Guy. | 23:33 |
| szrhawaii | its i kde | 23:33 |
| yacc | LMV-on-LUKS setup. | 23:33 |
| dwidmann | yacc: I'm assuming you found out about the "dist-upgrade-devel" option? | 23:33 |
| yacc | dwidmann, yeah. | 23:33 |
| szrhawaii | well the new kde has synaptic in the system settings | 23:34 |
| BluesKaj | actually synaptic is a gnome app, but it's more thorough than adept with dependencies , so I prefer it . | 23:34 |
| dwidmann | szrhawaii: no. | 23:34 |
| szrhawaii | when i had the new one it was synaptic | 23:34 |
| szrhawaii | then the old one had hardy | 23:34 |
| szrhawaii | dont know how that happened | 23:34 |
| yacc | dwidmann, I'm using the waiting time to scout for a new laptop should this one die ;) | 23:35 |
| szrhawaii | i have adept | 23:35 |
| msnbot | syanptic looks like a GTK app. | 23:35 |
| Cimmo | it IS a gtk app | 23:36 |
| Cimmo | but it is way better than poor adept | 23:36 |
| szrhawaii | it does file better | 23:36 |
| Cimmo | trust me: kubuntu 8.10 is a bunch of beta and unfinished software | 23:36 |
| Cimmo | leave it alove | 23:36 |
| Cimmo | *alone | 23:37 |
| msnbot | szrhawaii: wow. its downloading. why it didnt work with apt-get?? | 23:37 |
| szrhawaii | if no one uses it then they cant work out the bugs | 23:37 |
| szrhawaii | that happens to me sometimes | 23:37 |
| Cimmo | I'm using it, but only on secondary machine | 23:37 |
| szrhawaii | its like i get locked out of terminal | 23:37 |
| szrhawaii | then have to use the package manager | 23:38 |
| dwidmann | Cimmo: I'd say it's a gnome app, what with all the gnome depends it has | 23:38 |
| msnbot | Kubuntu Hardy is not LTS. I didnt know. | 23:38 |
| msnbot | but Kubuntu Dapar was LTS. | 23:39 |
| e-head | hey | 23:40 |
| e-head | I don't seem to have an inittab file | 23:40 |
| e-head | Is this file still used? Do I have to make one? | 23:40 |
| msnbot | e-head: no its not used anymore | 23:40 |
| e-head | no way! | 23:41 |
| e-head | are you serious? | 23:41 |
| dwidmann | !upstart | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 23:41 |
| msnbot | e-head: but if you place one there it will work. | 23:41 |
| e-head | okay. thanks. | 23:41 |
| e-head | Kubuntu uses System V init doesn't it? | 23:41 |
| msnbot | no | 23:41 |
| e-head | really? what does it use? | 23:41 |
| dwidmann | e-head: switched it out with upstart years ago | 23:41 |
| e-head | damn. i'm way behind the times I guess. | 23:42 |
| msnbot | e-head: If you want to work with inittab. place an inittab file there. It will simulate | 23:42 |
| e-head | gotcha. | 23:42 |

| e-head | did it put a simlink there for me? | 23:42 |
| msnbot | e-head: everything works. | 23:43 |
| dwidmann | upstart emulates sys-v-init for compatibility though, as well as doing its own thing | 23:43 |
| e-head | Is this pretty common for new linux distros... to use this upstart? | 23:43 |
| ahmos | hi , i need agood firewal and easy to configure,anyone knows one? | 23:43 |
| Guest823 | Found a few things on the net about restoring factory settings for konq but they all seem to apply to old versions | 23:43 |
| dwidmann | e-head: think it's an ubuntu thing, or at least it started as one | 23:43 |
| loganWHD | can i ask a question: can i take Kubuntu 8.10 down to KDE3? | 23:43 |
| e-head | how would I kill my X-server and go into a console only mode? | 23:44 |
| dwidmann | loganWHD: short of finding relible third party packages or compiling it yourself,no. | 23:44 |
| ahmos | !firewall | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 23:44 |

| msnbot | dont buy any chep chinese sound card. | 23:52 |

| loganWHD | i am thinking i am going back to 8.04 but not sure if anyone is having the same sound card issues etc | 23:52 |
