[00:00] yah [00:00] i dont like torrents because well u have to download them before u can here them [00:00] thats like when they compare windows to mac [00:00] epimeth: No, but I'm pretty sure it's a kde3 app which would mean it would use your kde3 io-slaves [00:00] yeah thats ture but if you know what you want your good [00:01] mac is better its purple [00:01] lol [00:01] umm what can i use to organize my ipod? [00:01] haha and the find files bar is in the top right not the bottom left [00:01] [30/Nov/2008:18:55:52 -0500] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found! [00:01] not even sure what that means [00:01] astromme: noooooooooo!!!! but its part of kdewebdev :-( [00:01] theres a feature for that on your package manager [00:02] whats it called? [00:02] i use amarok for everything but theres other good ones out there [00:02] u know any lol that is easy to use? [00:02] i look them up [00:02] ok [00:03] VistaUser: amarok is pretty good [00:03] epimeth: However, kde3 still has kioslaves.... [00:03] astromme: yea, but I probably have to install them somehow.... [00:03] is it nice looking? [00:03] astromme: and I'm very surprised that the kde team hasn't ported quanta yet.... [00:03] yeah it is vistauser [00:03] VistaUser: amarok, yea... I'm a fan [00:04] epimeth: Maybe there is a kde4 version that I don't know about. Go to help -> about Quanta [00:04] you can modify it easily [00:04] I use amarok and love it [00:04] and theres plenty of add ns [00:04] Quanta hasn't been ported to KDE4 yet btw [00:04] astromme: yea, you're right... [00:04] !info quanta [00:04] 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] Currently I'm using the Amarok2 RC packages and they are great [00:04] JontheEchidna: thanks :-p [00:05] JohntheEchidna: Thanks [00:05] apt-get install amarok? [00:05] ya, np [00:05] does anybody use Opera?? [00:05] JontheEchidna: wait, its says Version 4!!! [00:05] epimeth: that's the debian epoch [00:05] VistaUser: should be installed by default [00:05] yep thats it vistauser [00:05] epimeth: The plot thickens... [00:05] oo kk [00:05] oh... garrrr [00:05] it should be in your media section [00:05] Oh, so thats what the 4: in everything is [00:05] not there :) [00:05] so I can't view my scp folders in it anymore?!? that sucks [00:05] Back in the KDE2 days somebody used the svn revision number (30,000 or something) as the package version [00:05] epimeth: You can still use fish [00:06] then download it from your package manager [00:06] astromme: not that I can see... [00:06] szrhawaii u using KDE or ubuntu? [00:06] so we had to put a 4 in front of everything [00:06] epimeth: You're on intrepid, right? [00:06] kde [00:06] well kubuntu [00:06] 8.04.1 [00:06] kubuntu is KDE? [00:06] yeah [00:07] ooo i didnt know [00:07] cool [00:07] they also have mythbuntu and xubuntu to [00:07] what that be and how i get? [00:07] hi room [00:07] hey [00:07] 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 [00:08] astromme: yup [00:08] JontheEchidna: Shows what problems down the road one decision can make [00:08] well myth is for like a person running a home entertainment off their laptop which runs xfce on it [00:08] which xubuntu runs xfce [00:08] will i need to burn another ISO for those? [00:09] depends if you only have the one cd or the multi cd [00:09] i have the one that has all four on them [00:09] VistaUser: you can use the online repositories, too [00:09] how did u get them? [00:09] but yeah you would though [00:09] just type those names in [00:09] xubuntu [00:09] yeah, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? [00:09] and mythbuntu in google [00:09] ok [00:10] gadalej: yup [00:10] and i can get there repos and get them into the start session thing? [00:10] or you can do it that way too [00:10] astromme: so any more suggestions? [00:10] i would just download them from the web page [00:10] epimeth: I'm looking now... fish isn't working for me with quanta either =/ [00:10] ok [00:10] avoids complications [00:11] just in case you accidentally press the wrong button somewhere [00:11] will i be able to keep ubuntu to? [00:11] like i do sometimes [00:11] does it become a new session thing in the options? [00:11] i believe you get the option all the time to double partition with ubuntu [00:11] at the beginning when you download the iso from the web page [00:11] ooooo kk [00:11] Anybody know what to do if enabling desktop effects turned yer screen black? [00:11] VistaUser: Yes it becomes a new session [00:12] of course it becomes a new session cause your re partitioning [00:12] Walzmyn: You can manually disable desktop effects by removing the kwinrc config file in ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc [00:12] but save all your stuff before doing anything a friendly reminder [00:12] astromme: ok, if i get the repository and use synaptic [00:12] ok [00:13] szrhawaii: You can install both kde and gnome on the same ubuntu install [00:13] From gnome do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get kde [00:13] or rather [00:13] if you want to be able to remove it easily [00:13] sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop. Then to remove it, sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [00:14] VistaUser: yes, synaptic works too [00:14] astromme that manual configure for the desktop does it shut off completely [00:14] ok ty [00:14] szrhaaii: What? [00:14] or when you restart will it come back on [00:14] Walzmyn: You can manually disable desktop effects by removing the kwinrc config file in ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc\ [00:14] astromme, should I just remove that file, or edit it and change a setting? [00:14] szrhawaii: it resets kwin to the defaults [00:14] brb [00:15] anyone here using winfast tx2000xp in ubuntu? [00:15] oh i was looking for a way to shut of my default background from drawing [00:15] 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] do you know what file that is [00:15] or how to do that [00:15] szrhawaii: No idea [00:15] astromme, good deal, thankyouverymuch. I'll go give it a whirl [00:15] epimeth: Hmm... It looks to be a no go here =/ [00:16] it kind of sucks i gotta do the killall kdesktop everytime to see my other background [00:16] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [00:16] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [00:16] Are you root? [00:16] what does that mean and how can i get into the file or w/e [00:16] VistaUser: Are you sudoed? [00:16] :) [00:16] idk what that mean [00:16] sudo apt-get install whatever.... [00:16] note the 'sudo' [00:16] ooooooo i need sudo [00:16] VistaUser: are you using synaptic or the command line? [00:16] its a root if you cant get in [00:16] Woah, that was some irc lag [00:16] i am trying to get amorak [00:17] did it give you a password option [00:17] yes... rember 'to do SYSTEM TYPE TASKS - one must be root' :) [00:17] astromme: yea... garrrrr sucks [00:17] nope [00:17] sudo apt-get install WHATEVER [00:17] VistaUser: sudo apt-get install amarok. but it should be installed already if you installed kubuntu-desktop [00:17] i was sudoed [00:17] VistaUser: K -> Multimedia-> Amarok [00:17] ty i am trying to get xubuntu mythubntu and what not [00:18] did you give a admin password or in the admin user session [00:18] yes [00:18] then it should let you [00:18] kk i got it working i need sudo infront of apt-get [00:19] you always need sudo [00:19] its like abra cadabra [00:19] yah i just figured that out [00:19] dident we just say that in the examplkes.. like 3 times :P [00:19] sudo make me a sandwich [00:20] LOL [00:20] sudo the hokey pokey [00:20] sudo pie-get eat [00:20] alright. it's working now. switching from a DVD rom to a CD ROM seemed to help. [00:20] dumb question: would I want to create extra partion as extended or primary. It might be mounted by either linux or windows (dual boot). [00:21] epimeth: =/. Not good: nope, they used to be in kdebase and now kdebase is at the kde4 version [00:21] 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) [00:22] yea... I'm just gonna ssh and use emacs... even though its sloooooow [00:22] epimeth: I googled what "extended partition" is, but I couldn't really find out why you would want to use it. [00:22] epimeth: kate isn't enough? [00:22] astromme: I just threw up a little in my mouth [00:23] jsunio: because if you want more than 4 partitions extended partitions are the only way to go [00:23] aha! [00:23] jsunio: I just told you. an extended partition allows you to create 4 more partitions [00:23] tx [00:23] epimeth: Blargh! What's wrong with kate? [00:23] astromme: its a text editor. I'm developing [00:24] astromme: kate is my editor of choice for conf files... not for creating an entire drupal driven site! [00:24] Out of curoisity, what does vim have that kate is lacking (not including the differing modes of interface, unless that's the reason) [00:25] astromme: vim? I'd rather use kate! [00:25] astromme: I'm an emacs boy [00:25] :-) [00:25] epimeth: alright, emacs. I had a 50/50 chance =P [00:25] and yes, its the interface modes. syntax highlighting, auto indentation [00:25] uis ubuntu and linux made for coding ??? [00:25] you can use vi without a gui [00:26] its a pain in the butt to do those things elsewhere [00:26] woohoo! That worked guys. Thanks for the advise. [00:26] 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] 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] I ended up just editing it. T'was a single true/false setting what fixed it [00:26] Walzmyn: Glad to hear [00:27] oo kk [00:27] VistaUser: but in general, Linux is #1 for development, web dev especially [00:27] epimeth: I've been working with some of the svn builds of kdevelop4. Wow they are amazing [00:27] oo kk [00:27] well i guess i got to learn coding for fun :) [00:28] i installed amarok and now i cant find [00:29] it should be in your multimedia section in your start menu [00:29] is there a command like sudo apt find amarok or someting???????? [00:29] Walzmyn: Out of curiosity what graphics card do you have? [00:29] VistaUser: apt-cache search packagename [00:29] you don't need to sudo that [00:30] oo kk ty [00:30] VistaUser: I told you... K-> Multimedia -> Amarok :-) [00:31] ooo kk i guess i need to go into Kubuntu brb [00:32] Hey [00:32] e-head: welcome back [00:32] It seems to be going on fine now that I switched from a DVD to a CD ROM. [00:33] Can anyone point me to a "Kubuntu Quick Start" guide or something? [00:33] vistauser you didnt download it in your ubuntu [00:33] One that ISNT geared to a total newbie. [00:33] Gee... you anything else you want? :P [00:33] Those 101 guides can kind of get on my nerves. ;) [00:33] e-head: Hmm [00:34] e-head: I might look at the KDE release notes [00:34] learning kde 4 - i would start with the kde4 help docs/homepage I guess [00:34] back [00:34] did you find it [00:34] as for learning Linux. :) theres 10000's of guides for that - of all levels. [00:34] yah [00:34] VistaUser: you weren't in kubuntu? then you could have just alt+f2 and then "amarok" [00:34] Does kubuntu have any sort of admin tools like Suse? [00:34] in fact, you can do that in kubuntu too [00:34] Or does KDE for that matter? [00:34] It has a system config in "System Settings" [00:34] omg nvm i love kbuntu feel of things [00:35] Or, should I just open a console and break out vi for configuring my network settings and things like that? [00:35] e-head: to see things in 4.1: http://kde.org/announcements/4.1/ [00:35] ubuntu and kubuntu commands the same? [00:35] thanks [00:35] kubuntu g=has a nicer feel of a lot of things [00:35] lol [00:35] It's been a while since I've even used KDE. [00:35] ubuntu and kubuntu commands the same? [00:36] not all [00:36] VistaUser: yes. there is no difference between the two [00:36] ok [00:36] VistaUser: the only difference is in the window manager [00:36] how do i find my ipod in amarok? [00:36] epimeth ok [00:37] with the window open you should be able to see options along the rights ide of the window [00:37] 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 [00:38] yah i see um but which is my ipod under i went to devices and nothing [00:39] 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] VistaUser: It should be in devices on the left hand side of amarok [00:40] i am there and its not there [00:40] Try plugging in your ipod after amarok is started [00:41] ok [00:41] Has anyone here used XRDP? [00:41] e-head: xrdp? Meaning just rdp for X11? [00:41] #compiz-fusion [00:41] nope nothing [00:42] i think not compatible with itouch? [00:42] VistaUser: oh, yeah.... probably not =/ [00:42] astromme, yeah, pretty much [00:42] dang lol [00:42] try finding the ipod plug ins [00:42] I think the iPhone/iPod touch need to be hacked to work with linux because of the new encryption [00:42] you can use Windows remote desktop with it. [00:42] but I could be wrong [00:43] so i need to do something to make work on linux [00:43] let me use google brb [00:43] e-head: alright === zied is now known as zied_ === zied_ is now known as zied [00:45] 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). === ubuntu_ is now known as kabotage === kabotage is now known as kabo [00:47] 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] i can't print with my hp c5180, it's giving me an error 5120 "Communication error" [00:48] verified that it's not a hardware problem, it works fine with the Mac [00:48] I would imageine the developer of the package - dident include EVERY development package as dependencies.. :) [00:48] tpw_rules: You can use kdevelop to develop non-cpp applications, and kdevelop itself doesn't depend on those packages [00:49] is there a way to turn off the password thing to download thingS? [00:49] They are probably suggested but not depended-on [00:49] webmaren: I had trouble with my printer too, did you try googling it? [00:49] VistaUser: are you talking about using Adept? [00:49] astromme: ah ok, but i was asking because suse comes with it all [00:49] VistaUser: ? meaning with sudo so it doesn't ask for your password? [00:49] jsunio: I have but it doesn't seem that anyone has a real solution [00:50] no i mean when i download something from a site and when i ty install it always asks for a password [00:50] Any evidence of people getting it to work? [00:50] webparem: Any evidence of people getting it to work? [00:50] Good heavens [00:50] VistaUser: you remember back when you had windows, and you got viruses? [00:50] Things have changed so much. ;) [00:50] yah [00:50] 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] I've been running EvilWM for the last 5 years. KDE isn't even recognizable to me anymore. ;) [00:51] VistaUser: This is a security feature so that doesn't happen, otherwise anybody could install anything on your machine [00:51] oo kk [00:51] e-head: Wow, that's a long time. Yeah, kde is quite a different beast than it was even a year ago [00:51] astromme: ok [00:51] jsunio: haven't seen anything concrete [00:51] astromme: but you need those packages to compile and run a c++ application [00:52] webmaren: unfortunate... I never got my printer working. But I did find a bunch of different drivers to try. Some of them *almost* worked. [00:53] 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] webmaren: You could try a generic driver that works with other HP. I thought ubuntu worked pretty well with HP. [00:55] #pidgin [00:55] jsunio: it worked excellently until today [00:55] webmaren: does this apply https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpPrinterInstallationAndMaintenanceDapper [00:56] webmaren: oh... did you upgrade packages or something? [00:56] kde doesnt seems to be loaading at all. any way to fix it?? [00:56] e-head: I'm going afk. If you have a problem, address me directly so that my tray icon flashes =P [00:56] jsunio: just normal updates, you'd think people would be grumbling all over the place if there was an actual bug... [00:57] 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] i'm going to kill someone at HP [00:57] my printer's IP jumped and that's why I lost it [00:58] hah [00:58] you'd think this sort of thing could be easily fixed, but noooooo [00:58] at least, thank you "localhost:631" [00:58] I wish my printer had a network port [00:58] my wobbling function doesnt work' [00:59] Hey, can you use all the "apt" command line package tools? [00:59] and dpkg? [01:00] e-head: From kubuntu? of course. apt-get, aptitude, dpkg, apt-source, apt-cache, etc.. are all there. [01:01] hi! [01:01] knusperfro: Hello [01:02] whats difference between konsol and teminal? [01:02] got a laptop with intel graphics but unfortunately i can't switch off the LCD and external VGA while idle. the display backlight turns off but after 2seconds the backlight switches on again and shows a black screen [01:02] "xset dpms force off" does the same [01:04] knusperfro: Sorry, no idea. [01:04] I need a little bit of help [01:04] can any of you guys help me? [01:05] ask the question already [01:05] ok [01:05] we will never know unless you ask [01:05] How do you set up internet connection on Kubuntu? [01:06] with knetwork manager [01:06] K torrent is giving me a "The process for the http://tracker.name.com protocol died unexpectedly." error for many torrents. They just sit stalled and I am sure they have seeds. I am just wondering if I have my settings wrong or if it is a bug. [01:08] Oops sorry for my rudeness. Hi, Could some one please help with question I have stated above at your lesure. [01:09] does Kubuntu work worth Belkin? [01:11] got a dumb question [01:11] guess i just gotta connect with wired [01:11] how do i add a patch file [01:12] 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. [01:15] from what I've read its an issue tht the current linux kernal has with webcams [01:15] I hope I didn't step into a tabo subject. [01:15] *taboo [01:16] The webcam works well in Kopete, it is detected, but only msn and yahoo are supported with that program. [01:16] wecams worked fine for me with hardy but not since updating to intrepid. everything I've found says its a problem with the kernel [01:17] back [01:17] 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] I do see video in kopete, but not cheese [01:18] anyone recomend any good packages [01:18] hay all i want to make my laptop a digital frame but the guide is for a different os and i want to use this one so can u tell me how to start feh and unclutter at start [01:19] with out x [01:19] how do I upgrade the latest version of Amarok 2.0? I thought it would automaticly do it through the repos.. I have 8.10 [01:22] rogan: its in the neon project... let me find it [01:23] rogan: http://amarok.kde.org/de/node/485 [01:24] rogan: but I must add that google.com is your friend in these situations [01:24] shut the fuck up and dont be a smart ass [01:24] how do i get hamachi? [01:25] WOW that was uncalled for. [01:25] invalid input detected [01:25] LOL [01:32] ciao [01:43] hello.. how to remove kubuntu? I want to retain system files.. won't use GUI anymore [01:44] You mean you wish to remove the KDE desktop AND all the X server and related files? [01:44] yes [01:44] fire up package manager and start Uninstalling I guess.. [01:44] Or you could just disable kdm from starting up.. and get a console login. [01:45] is there a way doing it in CLI? [01:45] mmm...how to do it? [01:45] the packaging system has the apt-get cli commands yes.. [01:45] I just want to disable KDE from startup [01:45] kdm service is started in the rc2 runlevel thers soms sysv tools to enable/disable those services [01:45] rhineheart_m, thats a TOTALLY differnt task then what you originall y asked then. :P [01:46] any command? in cli? [01:46] of course theres commands [01:46] this is linux. ;) [01:46] what happens when KNetworkManager stops working? [01:46] I dunno... I just can't login into desktop [01:46] see the directory /etc/rc2.d every script in there is an item ran at the startup [01:46] * Secutor is back. [01:46] rhineheart_m, so why do you want to disable kdm then? why not fix the desktop? [01:47] the password is correct [01:47] hmm.. [01:47] but it would go back to login page [01:47] everytime I will try to login [01:47] 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] mmm..maybe...allowing root login could solve the problem.. [01:48] can you teach me how to let root login in KDE? [01:48] I doubt if that 'fixes' anything... [01:48] go to the console, stop the kdm service, then try the 'startx' command. [01:48] you CAN login to a console? [01:48] yeah.. [01:49] both users can login to console [01:49] and both users can NOT login to X? [01:49] mm..the system won't allow root login [01:50] of course root cant login directly [01:50] but users can't too [01:50] you have 1 or 2 users? [01:51] 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] only 2 users [01:51] I would try as a test.. going to the console, and making a NEW user 'testuser' see if it also affects them [01:54] dr_willis [01:54] u still there [01:54] Yes.. for a little while.

[02:19] rhineheart_m, go to the console, kill the kdm service, and try 'startx' command..

[10:24] in this case, the network card driver [10:24] how can i find what options do i have? [10:25] lspci would be my first start - then a google search for the module it "should" use [10:27] thanks ooglebutte, that's what i wanted :D [10:27] luck :) [10:28] what would be the difference between an ethernet controller and a network controller? [10:28] i have a wire card and a wireless card on the machine [10:28] ethernet=wire, network=wireless? [10:29] what does ifconfig return? [10:29] nvm, found them :P [10:29] hehe [10:29] ok, cool so apparently i have a realtek r8101 card but the driver used is r8169 [10:30] modprobe r8101 says there is no such driver [10:30] is there a package i can install?

[10:52] hehe, yeah, i shouldn't dismiss xubuntu like that [10:52] xubuntu is awesome [10:53] is it possible that r8169 gets loaded because no other suitable module is found?

[11:46] ActionParsnip, ooglebutte well I would prefer it didn't list any KDE apps [11:46] ooglebutte: gksudo for gui apps dude [11:47] maek0: then edit your menus and remove the unwanted items (if they are present) [11:47] ActionParsnip: update-menus isn't gui... [11:47] oic [11:47] my bad [11:47] :) [11:48] ActionParsnip, ah !! lol didn't think of that ... and what happens to the system kde apps like adept ?? [11:48] where can i find the sources of the realtek driver? [11:48] do they get listed ?? [11:49] maek0: depends how you installed stuff, it may be present [11:49] maek0: dpkg -l | grep -i adept [11:49] that is, where are the modules' sources unpacked? [11:49] voicu: i suppose if its a open source driver probably the realtek website [11:50] faileas: i need the driver used by ubuntu because the one from the site doesn't work, maybe the ubuntu devs changed it [11:50] *site=realtek site [11:50] im thinking of installing kde 4.2 (via a thirdparty software source) on my GNOME ubuntu install ...

[14:51] Staying in irc can give me a lot of knowledge daily :D [14:51] ebone: what is apt? [14:51] I just set up a fresh new system, from an old debian system. [14:51] "man apt-get" [14:51] "man apt-cache" [14:51] 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] man apt [14:51] ;) [14:51] aaroncampbell: me -- hardy; anyway, open /boot/grub/menu.lst and check the new kernel's "root" parameter. it looks like "root=UUID=..." [14:51] It's a console package management system. [14:52] You can upgrade your entire system using it. [14:52] aaroncampbell: compare that with the old kernel's root parameter -- most likely they will differ [14:52] 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] ebone: we know, why all this advertising? [14:52] ValentineXX asked me what it was. [14:53] ebone: "man foo" isn't an answer here usually (:) [14:53] well, "man apt" can tell him a lot more about it than I can in a couple of minutes here on IRC. ;) [14:53] Tm_T, can you help me solve my prob. I have typed it just moments ago .... [14:54] manish: sorry, don't know about usplash [14:54] So is 8.10 slow or what? I keep hearing this. [14:54] Hey... what are the other package management options? [14:54] Why on Earth would it be slow? [14:55] Crappy kernel compile or something? [14:55] look have you seen the news [14:55] people are upset [14:55] 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] thanks Tm_T [14:55] saying it is not properly integrated with kde 4 [14:55] snakeface: not here [14:55] hmm [14:56] Did you do "make install" from a command prompt? [14:56] i am just trying to figre out whether or not to install it. you guys are happy with it? [14:56] 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] no issues? [14:56] kde4 is fast? [14:56] manish: I don't know much about these splash themes. Is this a KDE thing? [14:56] snakeface: I'm very happy, only very minor issues [14:56] okay. [14:56] snakeface: its supposed to use less ram than kde3.5 [14:56] snakeface: its a bit twitchy [14:56] ebone: no, it's fancy stuff in boot before X or stuff [14:56] 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. [14:57] ebone i guess not ,,, but i dont know to be sure [14:57] ahh. [14:57] Tm_T: Is it a grub thing? [14:57] snakeface: runs pretty well with fluxbox instead of kwin [14:57] I have usually used kubuntu, but lately people have been saying opensuse is faster [14:57] ebone: after grub (:) [14:57] !usplash | ebone [14:57] I see. [14:57] 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] snakeface: depends on config entirely [14:57] actually to be frank i i am a new bie and dont know which file should go where .. [14:57] 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 [14:58] manish: well, the makefile is just a text file. Open that puppy up in a text editor and just take a peek. [14:58] hey ActionParsnip u back after a long time... Thanks genii. will catch up later on... [14:58] ya am doing it right now [14:58] ebone: if he don't know about those things, prolly he has no idea what he should look, I guess? [14:59] yeah. probably so. [14:59] ActionParsnip would you like to take a sneakpeak into the problem [14:59] 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] 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 [15:00] ebone adept [15:00] adept. that's right. thanks. [15:00] synaptic is for ubuntu i mean gnome [15:00] Is there a console synaptic? [15:00] ebone: Adept, wajig (my favourite) kpackage if you are insane [15:00] nope [15:00] ohh. thanks. [15:00] wajig? [15:00] Is that KDE? [15:01] So, which is insane? Kpackage or wajig? [15:01] manish: ask the room [15:01] How about Adept? Is it decent enough? [15:02] 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] Can you post it up somewhere? [15:02] So... from the console, apt is still the tool of choice I suppose? [15:03] 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] I'd like to be the first to ask about 4.2. whats the scoop in regards to Kubuntu? [15:03] ebone should i on pastebin.ubuntu.com [15:03] ebone: Kpackage, not nice, wajig is mostly commandline, wrapper for apt and stuff [15:03] I see. Sounds like apt is the way to go on commandline still. [15:03] Is Adept any good? [15:04] manish: what do you wanna know? [15:04] He needs help with some sort of splash screen. [15:04] Can you help him? [15:04] ebone: same sort of deal, id use what you are comfortable with [15:04] !splash [15:04] To change your KDE splash screen go to KMenu -> System Settings -> Splash Screen [15:04] !usplash [15:04] I just got my system up. [15:04] 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 [15:04] !4.2 [15:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about 4.2 [15:05] !caterpillar [15:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about caterpillar [15:05] vbgunz: what do you need to know about 4.2? === diego is now known as azodiego [15:06] ActionParsnip: if there is an easy way to simply apt-get upgrade to it [15:06] ActionParsnip: want to install a usplash theme i have downloaded, it says cd into the directory and then press sudo make install and reboot.

It is said I won't need greedy nspluginwrapper anymore [15:06] here is the paste bin link for the make file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/78799/ [15:07] 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] sancho21__: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html [15:08] sancho21__: runs 64bit flash [15:08] But the script installs the nspluginwrapper [15:08] That's the trouble maker [15:09] sancho21__: hmm [15:09] maybe it neds it for sound or something [15:09] So ActionParsnip i have the folder downloaded and all the files in place i just dont know why is it not working [15:10] manish: why what isnt working? [15:11] manish: ive not played with splash screens, i think they are redundant [15:11] ActionParsnip: Look at this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz [15:12] sancho21__: then copy the so to ~/.mozilla/plugins [15:15] ActionParsnip its not the splash screen i am talking about ...

[15:53] aaroncampbell: yeah, still here [15:53] 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] Again, I'm on Intrepid [15:54] aaroncampbell: if they are all the same then run "sudo blkid" and see what uuid is assigned to your root partition [15:55] Same [15:56] 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] Is this maybe an extension of that problem? [15:56] hello [15:57] aaroncampbell: dunno; see if that uuid is listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid [15:57] francisc1701: yep, it's a link to ../../sda1 [15:59] 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? [16:00] aaroncampbell: have you googled the exact error message you get? [16:01] aaroncampbell: does your old kernel boot? [16:04] ActionParsnip: As I said before, here is the page to install prerelease native 64bit version of flash player in Hardy: http://michsan.blogspot.com/2008/12/installing-alpha-version-of-64-bit.html Just want to share to people who got the same problem === juanantonio_ is now known as juanantonio [16:18] anyone can help me recowering my root password [16:19] root? you set up a root account?

[16:44] plz plz plz plz help me!!!! [16:45] also when i used hardy with kde 4.1 i didnt notice that problem, so maybe its new xorg fault? [16:46] Hi [16:46] 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] help me!!!!!!!! [16:46] If somebody could please assist me to solve these difficulties I would be very grateful [16:47] wubi [16:47] shoot away. don't ask to ask ;) [16:47] Yes, OK, sory [16:47] Well, first off [16:48] 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] and why kubuntu 8.10 dont boots every third time? [16:49] Nece228: if u find rthe answer to the freezing let me know [16:49] cause happens to me all the time [16:49] Faileas, do you have any suggestions or advice? [16:49] Hi2All! [16:49] what the h.. is this blinking caps-lock problem? is that really a kernel panic?.. where can i get this panic log entrie? [16:50] 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] sonce friday my nobeook runs ok.. 24h per day.. now.. boom.. caps lock blinking and all is freezed [16:50] loganWHD: ok, but i dont thing that ill fould solution [16:50] loganWHD: *think [16:51] yah [16:51] jeremy___: it isn't linux, and in my experience freebsd is not easy to install [16:51] OK well then I guess I would like to stick to kubuntu [16:51] So, now on to my other questions [16:51] jeremy___: I recommend visiting channel ##freebsd to learn more about freebsd [16:51] I have a problem opening up executable files [16:51] er.. [16:51] like .exe executable files? [16:51] Yes [16:51] loganWHD: so still you are using system which randomly freezes? [16:52] you need wine for those, even then its not certain it will work [16:52] .exe = windows files [16:52] dunno why one woukd want freebsd and kubuntu on the same machine ..one or the other , but not both [16:52] I see [16:52] yah [16:52] Well I guess that explains it then! [16:52] BluesKaj: i considered it at one point ;p [16:52] i upgraded to 8.10 [16:52] and not too happy [16:52] Next up: [16:53] I want to set up an IRC server, which is the main reason for switching it linux [16:53] loganWHD: when i disable effects or use compiz instead of kwin i dont notice that problem [16:53] I'm not quite sure how I might go about doing this [16:53] jeremy___: there's some in the repos, though most people use unreal + anope. [16:54] I have the unreal 3.2.7 already extracted onto my drive [16:54] which requires compiling, but its a good learning experience [16:54] But the tutorials I've read tell me to type commands, where I have no idea to type [16:54] Nece228: here is the problem i have.... 8.10 was so horrible i formatted and installed something called mini.iso [16:54] jeremy___: you also need the build essential package, then you can compile and run it [16:54] jeremy___: total newbie? [16:54] it is the 8.10 system but with NOTHING in it [16:54] Yes, very [16:54] so i have to add things as i go.... [16:55] i do not know the name of the "control panel" type thing where i go to disable effects [16:55] Oh I do [16:55] right click on the desktop [16:55] jeremy___: it should be something called 'konsole'. i recommend getting a package called yakuake though- its a drop down console [16:55] And where would I get this [16:55] And why? [16:56] I have something called "terminal" [16:56] That's what I've been wondering if they're referring to THAT to type commands [16:56] alt-get install konsole [16:56] jeremy___: terminal does the same. its wierd, i thought terminal was for ubuntu, and konsole is for kubuntu [16:56] both are terminal emulators [16:56] I have ubuntu [16:56] jeremy___: i assumed you had kubuntu ;p [16:57] you need gnome-terminal, i think. [16:57] yeah type em in terminal [16:57] if you have kubuntu, the use konsole. [16:57] *then [16:57] OK so now, I have an extracted directory labeled IRCD on my user called jeremy [16:57] and it's telling me to type a command that it doesn't recognize [16:58] jeremy___: you need to install build-essential [16:58] sudo apt-get install build-essential [16:58] then try ./configure and such [16:59] E: Couldn't find package build-essential [16:59] er [17:00] thats odd [17:00] mine has it [17:00] me too [17:01] sudo apt-get install build-essential [17:01] that's what I typed [17:01] any errors? [17:01] jeremy___: What is the output of uname -a ? [17:01] mine already has it installed [17:01] Linux ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [17:04] hi all [17:04] jeremy___: Is this a new install?

[19:05] nope have to compile [19:05] oh [19:05] sigma20: something like this, I think: "kdmctl shutdown halt forcenow" [19:05] you might need to sudo it [19:05] think the final 180 is due in december though [19:05] 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] i'm really really really used to those buttons [19:06] PhilRod: but will that logout properly? [19:06] all the binding interface things in kde seem to be keys ONLY [19:06] 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.

[19:28] ok.. I have a problem.. All the programs and webpages dont save passwords [19:28] so I have to check then everytime I try to logon [19:28] VistaUser: you can bu tit's easier the other way around [19:28] "but it's" [19:28] is there some program that remembers passwords for you [19:29] so you dont have to go check email [19:29] keychain [19:29] but i am right now straight up kubuntu [19:29] VistaUser: then install vista, then re-install grub === hep is now known as loarregle [19:30] so just go right over kubuntu?

[19:30] ooo kk [19:31] ikonia: ive tried the tar.gz manual method, ive tried the .deb, and most recently ive tried via adept [19:31] brian____: right, so thats probably a big part that you'll have different version mix/matched [19:32] brian____: I suggest you install the package "flashplugin-nonfree" and see how that works [19:32] ikonia: before i tried the other versions i tried only the tar.gz which would alwayus work... ok ill try that [19:32] 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] brian____: the tar.gz is not the supported method [19:32] ikonia: i should delete ~/.mozilla? [19:32] I have to admit, Ubuntu 8.10 installs very nicely on Virtual Box over XP [19:32] brian____:no, as the tar file can put a global library on [19:32] brian____: depends where you installed it [19:33] ikonia: into every users home === maska is now known as Maska [19:33] Now if I can only get it to answer my incomming web requests, I'll be all set. ugh === Maska is now known as NeoTa3Djayer === NeoTa3Djayer is now known as Maska [19:35] not that this ever works but im gonna try a reboot... ive purged mozilla and the regular 'flash-plugin'... when i come back im gonna try to reinstall firefox and use the flash-nonfree === Maska is now known as NeoTa3Djayer === NeoTa3Djayer is now known as Maska [19:35] ikonia: but you dont think i should delete the .mozilla dir in my users' home dir?

[20:50] tkstka_: no, the command didn't do anything [20:50] ok [20:50] I was just wondering why it sayd that [20:50] :D [20:50] When I add the command "rw init=/bin/bas" on the line "kernel" of my grub [20:50] I boot on the root's bash [20:51] without the keyword [20:51] why?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [21:33] 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. [21:34] JontheEchidna: what should i do about that? [21:34] hmm, I don't know. How did adept crash? We haven't really been getting many reports of that crashign [21:35] 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] o.o [21:35] JontheEchidna: i think it decided it was done before it actually was [21:36] JontheEchidna: or something [21:36] JontheEchidna: i'm thinking maybe i should just reinstall the whole OS [21:37] Why does the back of the Kubuntu CD Package say that it's ideal for servers [21:37] jschall, i think its kde4 thats just flakey. not the whole os. :P [21:37] dr_willis: maybe i'll go back to gnome then [21:37] SJrX, why not. ;) It can do servers.. [21:37] jschall, i got both installed.. every so often i try out kde4 again.. then go back tp my JWM+rox-filer setup [21:37] Who doesn't love the KDE 4.1 and X lying around === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [21:38] I accidently... [21:38] I can honestly say..i dont care for kde4. [21:38] :D [21:38] me too [21:39] I accidently took away my toolbar from the bottom [21:39] KDE 4 seems to have made a right turn for idiot land. [21:39] :C [21:39] what do I do [21:39] ? [21:39] I need it [21:39] 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] I'm not hardcore enough to play with the console [21:39] alone [21:40] KDE 4.1 is too iniovative... [21:40] tkstka_ try restarting KDE? [21:40] innovative? [21:40] how? [21:40] I'll do what ever you say me to do:) [21:40] tkstka_ CTRL+ALT+BKSP after you've closed everything is an easy way [21:40] he should have read the entire thing. [21:41] you should really logout before you ctrlaltbksp [21:41] <_gunni_> jschall: The crashes are innovative compared to 3.5 :) [21:41] He couldn't find his toolbar [21:41] 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] 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 [21:42] 3.5* [21:42] <_gunni_> But i love it anyway [21:42] ANd now they have these things where your Desktop is nothing more than a wallpaper [21:42] 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] the whole 'desktop is a folder/garbage dump' has gottenout of hand.. I like how rox-filer handles the desktop with its pinboard feature [21:43] which package gives the magic ability of file previews of ODF files in konqueror? [21:43] hey [21:43] right now they only show the icon [21:43] dr_willis: the ONLY things keeping me from switching to kde are: crashes and binding things to mouse buttons. that's it. [21:43] ok.. well komparator has crashed 2 times.. any suggestions on another duplicate file locator app to use? [21:43] previews are enabled for everything [21:44] Hmmmm dr_willis I have a recursive set of folders on my desktop called "Old Desktop" [21:44] that contain over 12 levels of old desktops. [21:44] Going back to 2003 === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [21:45] 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] how can I upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid using the command line? [21:45] and for example previews of PDF files are shown nice [21:45] Colonel_Panic I Think it's system-update-manager [21:45] I need to change the sources first, right? [21:45] NO! [21:45] OK ok...

[22:25] loganWHD, try some other desktop perhaps. they may be more stable [22:26] yah [22:26] i am dling 8.04 [22:26] You could just install some other desktop on 8.10 [22:27] and then test out kde4 as it gets updated every month or so - see if it starts working better.

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. [22:47] siemka [22:47] hay [22:47] :) [22:48] 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 ...? [22:50] trampel, i doubt that is the issue only because the tooltips have a yellow background and the menus are gray === berserk_ is now known as |Berserk| [22:52] 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] === mtux__ is now known as mtux [22:55] <|Berserk|> quit [22:59] guys [22:59] how do i add tons of servers to konversation?

[23:16] TY... [23:16] upgrade through your package manager [23:17] adept does not offer me to upgrade the release? [23:17] it should [23:17] mine does [23:17] its up in the top right hand corner its a blue button that says upgrade [23:18] !intrepid [23:18] have you updated your adept ever [23:18] 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] szrhawaii, my hardy is completely up-to-date. [23:19] adept doesn't offer update anymore [23:19] Cimmo, so how do I do it? [23:19] mine has it [23:19] i just havent done it [23:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu [23:19] i prefer the older version better [23:19] she can go to terminal and do the sudo apt-update [23:21] Cimmo, thx, now let's hope my laptop survives it :) [23:21] yacc: honestly I do not like kde 4.1 [23:21] make sure you download an iso and burn a cd just in case [23:21] I will wait for 4.2 [23:21] 4.1 really sucks [23:21] i will wait til there down working the bugs out [23:22] Hello how can I install Kdevelop documentationsHello how can I install Kdevelop documentations [23:22] how can I install manual for cpp. like man string.hhow can I install manual for cpp. like man string.h [23:22] Cimmo, Well, if it sucks to much, I'll probably rotate desktop environment yet another time, ... [23:22] chexck the package manager - seeif theres a kdevlop doc. [23:22] I think next in the periodic env change queue is ion3 ;) [23:23] apt-cache search doc for a start perhaps? === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir [23:23] dr_willis: man socket works in interpid but not in hardy. [23:23] I need the package name [23:24] do you want the dev files for dev [23:25] check the packae listings for both machines and compare the 2 i guess. [23:25] yeah [23:25] cimmo: My "distribution-upgrader" window hangs and does not paint itself anymore ;( [23:25] it should be kdevelop, kdevelop-data, kdevelop-dev, kdevelop-doc [23:25] i found cpp-4.2-doc may be it will hap [23:26] szrhawaii: kdevelop-doc is not working. says the package is missing [23:26] yacc: wait... [23:26] did you download it [23:28] szrhawaii: no. its what apt-get says === Guest50056 is now known as ShrimP [23:29] then you got to go to your package manager and download it [23:29] I just need "man socket", "man mysql_connect". cause I forget it. it my finger works faster in console. === ShrimP is now known as Guest89929 [23:29] apt-get install kedevelop-doc does notwork. [23:30] Cimmo, yeah, it just too some time to figure out that it will take 41 minutes to fetch the packages ;) [23:30] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [23:30] is only available from another source [23:30] E: Package kdevelop-doc has no installation candidate [23:30] try changing your repos [23:30] sorry for multiple lines [23:30] to allow you to [23:31] Idont know which repo it is in. [23:31] try the third party one [23:32] szrhawaii: it should be in official repo. I used it built in installed in Fedora. [23:32] are you using synaptic [23:32] it should be [23:32] it is for hardy [23:32] yacc: see kubuntu.org for upgrade instructions [23:32] szrhawaii: no. I am using console [23:32] dwidmann, I'm already in progress ;) [23:32] try using your synaptic [23:33] see what happens [23:33] dwidmann, now the only "fascinating" thing is to see if the stupid thing will reboot after the upgrade. [23:33] yacc: , ah, good, especially seeing as I wasn't scrolled all the way down :s [23:33] is synaptic in Kubuntu? I am a pure Kubuntu Guy. [23:33] its i kde [23:33] LMV-on-LUKS setup. [23:33] yacc: I'm assuming you found out about the "dist-upgrade-devel" option? [23:33] dwidmann, yeah. [23:34] well the new kde has synaptic in the system settings [23:34] actually synaptic is a gnome app, but it's more thorough than adept with dependencies , so I prefer it . [23:34] szrhawaii: no. [23:34] when i had the new one it was synaptic [23:34] then the old one had hardy [23:34] dont know how that happened [23:35] dwidmann, I'm using the waiting time to scout for a new laptop should this one die ;) [23:35] i have adept [23:35] syanptic looks like a GTK app. [23:36] it IS a gtk app [23:36] but it is way better than poor adept [23:36] it does file better [23:36] trust me: kubuntu 8.10 is a bunch of beta and unfinished software [23:36] leave it alove [23:37] *alone [23:37] szrhawaii: wow. its downloading. why it didnt work with apt-get?? [23:37] if no one uses it then they cant work out the bugs [23:37] that happens to me sometimes [23:37] I'm using it, but only on secondary machine [23:37] its like i get locked out of terminal [23:38] then have to use the package manager [23:38] Cimmo: I'd say it's a gnome app, what with all the gnome depends it has [23:38] Kubuntu Hardy is not LTS. I didnt know. [23:39] but Kubuntu Dapar was LTS. [23:40] hey [23:40] I don't seem to have an inittab file [23:40] Is this file still used? Do I have to make one? [23:40] e-head: no its not used anymore [23:41] no way! [23:41] are you serious? [23:41] !upstart [23:41] 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] e-head: but if you place one there it will work. [23:41] okay. thanks. [23:41] Kubuntu uses System V init doesn't it? [23:41] no [23:41] really? what does it use? [23:41] e-head: switched it out with upstart years ago [23:42] damn. i'm way behind the times I guess. [23:42] e-head: If you want to work with inittab. place an inittab file there. It will simulate [23:42] gotcha. [23:42] thanks. === nathan is now known as Guest823 [23:42] can you still do "init 3" commands, etc... [23:42] Just switched over form archlinux and I was wondering if there is some way to set up konqueror to work like it does in thier iteration. [23:42] did it put a simlink there for me? [23:43] e-head: everything works. [23:43] upstart emulates sys-v-init for compatibility though, as well as doing its own thing [23:43] Is this pretty common for new linux distros... to use this upstart? [23:43] hi , i need agood firewal and easy to configure,anyone knows one? [23:43] Found a few things on the net about restoring factory settings for konq but they all seem to apply to old versions [23:43] e-head: think it's an ubuntu thing, or at least it started as one [23:43] can i ask a question: can i take Kubuntu 8.10 down to KDE3? [23:44] how would I kill my X-server and go into a console only mode? [23:44] loganWHD: short of finding relible third party packages or compiling it yourself,no. [23:44] !firewall [23:44] 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] without doing a ctrl-alt-backspace [23:44] !mplayer [23:44] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [23:45] #compiz-fusion [23:45] I never used compiz. :( [23:45] so really i gotta go to Kubuntu 8.04 [23:45] ugh [23:46] so much dang reinstalling this week [23:46] oh sorry i was lazy and decided to link from there [23:46] well that was depressing piece of news [23:46] hehe [23:47] any help for konq defaults [23:47] where can i check is my comp linux compatibile?

[23:48] burn_: make sure the components/devices you buy has linux driver [23:48] graphic has linux rivers [23:48] drivers [23:49] if you go into the bios on the new comps sometimes it says it in the settings for linux [23:49] burn_: : as long as you buy device from famous company they will have linux driver. eg. Intel [23:49] thnx [23:49] burn_: wouldn't be so sure about that really [23:50] i am having problems with klamav.

[23:50] i have a patch source but forgot how to do it [23:50] normally the problem arise when its a laptop and the compay doesnt provide support any more. [23:50] burn_: definitely check into the ethernet controller, disk controller, and the graphics card, at the least. [23:51] szrhawaii: patch -p1 < file.patch [23:51] graphic card has linux drivers, checked ati radeon 3870 [23:51] szrhawaii: or something like that [23:51] thanks [23:51] anyone here using 8.04 and a dell 9400?
