| snakeface | look you guys this is out of control. everything is insanely slow. and it keeps crashing. i am installing opensuse. i dont care if they did sign a contract with m$ i cant take it anymore. | 00:03 |
| DaSkreech | snakeface: What Video card? | 00:04 |
| snakeface | its an intel onboard. | 00:04 |
| snakeface | 856m i think ill have to check again | 00:04 |

| snakeface | 865 actually. | 00:05 |
| snakeface | i love the ubuntu community to death, but i am just going to have to back off until things get worked out. because i cant install kde3 again... | 00:05 |

| BluesKaj | snakeface, did you getting a restricted driver option , when you first installed kubuntu ? | 00:07 |
| DaSkreech | Why don't you just turn off compositing | 00:07 |
| PSiL0 | snakeface: I had the same problem with fedora 10's OSS ati drivers they used. Made KDE slow as hell.. I came to Kubuntu for their seamless integration of the proprietary fglrx drivers | 00:07 |
| snakeface | BluesKaj: no. | 00:07 |
| PSiL0 | snakeface: Go with what works | 00:07 |
| snakeface | I am keeping kubuntu on my laptop though. it runs fine with my ati card. | 00:08 |
| BluesKaj | intel onboard graphics usually work fine afaik | 00:08 |
| DaSkreech | BluesKaj: There is no restricted driver for an Intel card | 00:08 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 00:08 |
| DaSkreech | snakeface: what happens if you turn off compositing? | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | i find kde4 sluggish on most all my hardware. :( | 00:08 |
| snakeface | i have just been working on this for so many hours, and it is so hard to work on because everything is so slow.... | 00:09 |
| snakeface | DaSkreech: nothing. still get massive distortion and corruption and slowness. | 00:09 |

| Zehava | is it possible, and at what difficulty level(as I'm new to linux as a whole) to remove kde4 and install kde3 instead on Kubuntu Hardy? | 01:50 |
| JontheEchidna | Zehava: probably install kubuntu-desktop, and remove kdelibs5 (yes, 5) | 01:53 |
| Zehava | and that won't totally fry my system? it will just remove those things in turn? | 01:54 |
| JontheEchidna | removing kdelibs5 should remove everything kde4 related | 01:54 |
| JontheEchidna | and installing kubuntu-deskotp will give you all the software in a kubuntu-kde3 install | 01:54 |
| Zehava | alright, it's a start, thanks a ton | 01:54 |

| === r11t_ is now known as r11t | ||

| alex_21 | How do you do this, I need MP3 and the like, and only have mplayer installed with only acess to the command line | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | wesley: i do not know. try google. | 02:23 |

| alex_21 | ? | 02:25 |
| wesley | and Linux should be able to play and convert swf files | 02:25 |
| jmichaelx | alex_21: i have never tried that with amerok, although it may be able to do what you want | 02:25 |
| wesley | its called Amarok | 02:26 |

| jmichaelx | yes, amarok. sorry for the misspelling. | 02:26 |
| alex_21 | Ok, confused smiley, then how would I do this | 02:27 |
| alex_21 | I mean, I can't play the music in my local collection either | 02:28 |
| jmichaelx | i am not sure alex. try the forums. the way i play networked music is using a command line player called moc, and using ssh or sshfs. kind of complicated... but i am sure there are simpler ways. | 02:29 |

| snakeface | that game he was talking about does look awesome. but about this cd burning project... | 04:15 |
| linux29684 | stdin: all the data is still in the rc.local, what runs after that that can change the dns servers (the dns appears to be the same the kvpnc uses) | 04:15 |

| linux29684 | snakeface: maybe try the network boot ubuntu cd? | 04:16 |

| e-head | so, is there anything better than this Adept program? | 04:17 |
| linux29684 | apt-get | 04:17 |
| stdin | depends on what you mean by better, there are alternatives | 04:17 |
| e-head | yeah. ;) | 04:17 |
| snakeface | linux29684: what do you mean? I just want to burn a cd. | 04:17 |
| linux29684 | synaptic | 04:17 |
| pirky | synaptic is what i use instead of adept | 04:17 |
| e-head | hmm. I might give it a try. | 04:17 |
| pirky | apt-get install synaptic | 04:18 |
| e-head | I've used linux for years but I've never really used a desktop. I thought I would give KDE a try. | 04:18 |
| e-head | I like it a lot. It's much smoother than it was years ago. | 04:18 |
| e-head | But this adept program sort of seems like it's from another era or something. | 04:18 |
| linux29684 | stdin: dhcdbd looks suspecious, maybe that could be changing it? | 04:18 |
| stdin | if you're using Intrepid, then it's brand new | 04:18 |
| pirky | i do not like adept manager | 04:19 |
| snakeface | i like the older version better. | 04:19 |
| e-head | I've just always used apt/dpkg. | 04:19 |
| e-head | which is probably just as good as any GUI manager, but... | 04:19 |
| snakeface | that works best | 04:19 |
| pirky | why is grub listing .7 and .9 kernels after update, should i remove one | 04:19 |
| e-head | over all this new KDE4 is pretty slick. | 04:19 |
| snakeface | there is really no need for a gui package manager | 04:19 |
| e-head | I may be persuaded to give up some of my console apps. | 04:19 |
| snakeface | but does anyone know why i cant burn a cd? | 04:20 |
| stdin | linux29684: that looks like it's a service to get return dhcp configuration | 04:21 |
| pirky | found the fix | 04:21 |
| stdin | linux29684: do you use knetworkmanager? | 04:21 |
| e-head | hey! No package for katapult? | 04:21 |
| linux29684 | stdin: let me check the services starting up then, no, i used ubuntu intrepid, but they sent me here | 04:21 |
| e-head | is there another "launchy" type app for kde? | 04:21 |
| stdin | linux29684: so you use the network applet thing? | 04:21 |
| linux29684 | stdin: #ubuntu sent me here because they said yall might know the answer | 04:21 |
| linux29684 | yes, but not for vpnc | 04:22 |
| linux29684 | i use kvpnc which uses vpnc i think for the vpn (which should not startup) | 04:22 |
| linux29684 | (and i don't think it is starting up) | 04:22 |
| stdin | well that's usually responsible for writing /etc/resolv.conf | 04:22 |
| stdin | does the 1st line of the file have "# Generated by NetworkManager" ? | 04:22 |
| linux29684 | stdin: but it doesn't even start up and it keeps changing it, and then when i open and close it, it doesn't restore dns | 04:22 |
| linux29684 | let me check | 04:23 |
| snakeface | its frustrating you guys wont acknowledge me. i really need to burn a cd. | 04:23 |
| linux29684 | # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) | 04:23 |
| stdin | ok | 04:23 |
| stdin | so it's getting that from DHCP somewhere | 04:23 |
| stdin | is your VPN network up? | 04:24 |
| linux29684 | they are dns servers that only the vpn would have changed (not opendns's) | 04:24 |
| linux29684 | no | 04:24 |
| linux29684 | whatismyip.com is my ip | 04:24 |
| jmichaelx | snakeface: a person has to log an undisclosed number of hours in this channel before one is acknowledged. | 04:24 |
| jmichaelx | snakeface: in fact, i am probably somewhat out of line in speaking to you at all at this point | 04:25 |
| stdin | linux29684: does anything like the vpn show in "ifconfig"? | 04:25 |
| scott97283429871 | anyone familiar with ati drivers? | 04:25 |
| linux29684 | no, just eth0 (wire), eth1 (wifi), and lo | 04:25 |
| stdin | snakeface: if no one knows, then no one answers | 04:25 |
| jmichaelx | snakeface: i'm hope you know i'm teasing.... what kind of CD are you trying to burn? | 04:26 |

| stdin | linux29684: when you connect now, do you manually set the DNS servers? | 04:29 |
| linux29684 | stdin: yes | 04:29 |
| linux29684 | stdin: the dns servers for the vpn don't work on all domains | 04:30 |
| linux29684 | stdin: for example: it resolves google, but not ubuntu.com or clusty (univ dns servers) | 04:30 |
| stdin | as far as I know, if you're getting the DNS from it, the network must have been connected (or attempted to connect). so I think it's an issue with Network Manager | 04:31 |
| linux29684 | stdin: i strongly agree | 04:32 |
| linux29684 | stdin: but i don't know how to get enough details to report it as a bug | 04:32 |
| stdin | I'm just trying to figure out where it stores the information of what to connect to | 04:32 |
| linux29684 | stdin: and traceroutes do not go through the vpn unless i connect | 04:32 |
| jmichaelx | there have been several people in here the last week or so complaining about similar DNS issues | 04:33 |
| linux29684 | it might have been me, i have had this problem for a while | 04:33 |
| linux29684 | and no one anywhere knows how to fix it | 04:34 |
| linux29684 | i am not sure if its the ubuntu network manager or the kubuntu vpn gui | 04:34 |
| linux29684 | (kvpnc) | 04:34 |
| jmichaelx | were you using different nicknames? | 04:34 |
| linux29684 | no, this same one | 04:34 |
| jmichaelx | i don't think it was you then. | 04:34 |
| linux29684 | i wonder why i can't simply reinstall the network component of ubuntu? | 04:36 |
| scott97283429871 | can anyone give me a hand with my video driver | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | I dont mess with ati much any more.. so cant help | 04:37 |
| scott97283429871 | well, its not even that so much anymore | 04:37 |
| jmichaelx | i had tried to log in to the VPN at the campus where i take classes using network manager, and got nowhere. i don't know whether that is my fault, or an issue with network manager. i eventually started using a bash script provided by the school to connect, which is working just fine. | 04:37 |
| linux29684 | stdin: what if i add a chmod 444 /etc/resolv.conf to a script before most programs startup? | 04:37 |
| linux29684 | jmichaelx: kvpnc works fine for vpn connection | 04:38 |
| scott97283429871 | i had everything working, i downloaded envyng, and that dl'ed the driver for me | 04:38 |
| stdin | linux29684: it could work, I've never tried it | 04:38 |
| scott97283429871 | and it was going good. but i have two monitors so i wanted to set them both up. | 04:38 |
| jmichaelx | linux29684: that is good to know | 04:38 |
| scott97283429871 | i went into displayconfig-gtk, and enabled my second monitor and said extend the desktop | 04:38 |
| linux29684 | stdin: do you know the script to edit with the chmod 444 /etc/resolv.conf? | 04:38 |
| scott97283429871 | and it said i had to restart. so when i restarted, now i cant find a driver that wil work. everythiing i try . it always ends up havingg to go into safe graphics mode | 04:39 |
| scott97283429871 | how can i even like revert to the very origional driver? | 04:40 |
| linux29684 | stdin: or better yet, can i search inside files for the actual dns ip that it keeps changing it to to see where it originates from? | 04:40 |

| stdin | linux29684: maybe search for in in ~/.kde | 04:40 |
| bigdaddy | did search & no luv there, ver is 8.01? | 04:41 |
| stdin | linux29684: failing that, you could edit /etc/init.d/NetworkManager and put the chmod line in before the "case "$1" in" part | 04:41 |
| bigdaddy | i am a newbie*, lol | 04:41 |
| snakeface | jmichaelx: the blank cd is not recognized at all. | 04:43 |
| jmichaelx | bigdaddy: reading those docks will help you. for one thing, you will need to install a meta-package called 'kubuntu-restricted-extras', but some things will need to be done before you can download and install those packages. | 04:43 |
| ScarySquirrel | Point me to the md5 sums for the "kubuntu-8.10-dvd-amd64.iso" file. | 04:43 |
| jmichaelx | snakeface: have you opened K3B after the CD has been inserted? | 04:44 |
| bigdaddy | k, tq 4 yur help so far | 04:44 |
| snakeface | jmichaelx: yes. | 04:44 |
| stdin | ScarySquirrel: should be located at the same place you downloaded it from | 04:44 |

| ScarySquirrel | stdin: I thought so, but the web page at "http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download" lists no md5 sums, or any "hashes" for that matter. | 04:46 |

| ScarySquirrel | stdin: Is there an easy way for me to return the favor? | 04:47 |
| scott97283429871 | can someone please help with video drivers | 04:47 |
| linux29684 | stdin: i found out 100% its a bug in kpvnc | 04:47 |
| jabrroa | hello everyone | 04:47 |
| stdin | ScarySquirrel: don't worry about it | 04:47 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: have you read through any of the documentation on installing the drivers for your video adapter? | 04:48 |
| stdin | linux29684: then I guess it's time to file a bug | 04:48 |
| scott97283429871 | yeah | 04:48 |
| scott97283429871 | i actually had everything working | 04:48 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: what adapter is it? | 04:48 |
| scott97283429871 | its an ati radeon 9600 | 04:48 |
| linux29684 | kvpnc has a file called resolv.conf.before.kvpnc_certificate_name | 04:48 |
| scott97283429871 | but i have 2 monitors, and i wanted to get them both working | 04:48 |
| linux29684 | it is supposed to change that name after it quits / disconnects | 04:49 |
| scott97283429871 | so i went into displayconfig, and said to enable my second monitor and extend the desktop | 04:49 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: ahh, i have very little experience with using two monitors on one system. | 04:49 |
| scott97283429871 | and i had to restart after that. but when i did, its like everything is messed up now | 04:49 |
| scott97283429871 | i cant find a driver thatll actually work | 04:49 |
| scott97283429871 | everytime i end up having to go into safe graphics mode | 04:50 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: i presume you are using fglrx? | 04:50 |
| scott97283429871 | yes | 04:50 |
| jmichaelx | hmm | 04:50 |
| scott97283429871 | im pretty new to linux, so i might be missing something stupid | 04:50 |
| scott97283429871 | when i got it working the first time, i dled envyng, and it downloaded the approperate driver and set it up for me | 04:50 |
| scott97283429871 | and i had the catalyst thing for ati. but since this happened, I cant even open the catalyst center thing because it always says that i dont have an ati dcard installed | 04:51 |
| scott97283429871 | any ideas like how to reset my video stuff? | 04:52 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: your adapter does show up as ATI when you enter 'lspci' in a terminal, doesn't it? | 04:52 |

| scott97283429871 | umm no, im so new to this is sad | 04:58 |
| scott97283429871 | all ive done is install the driver and manage to screw it up | 04:58 |

| scott97283429871 | lol | 04:59 |
| kelly | wow | 04:59 |
| scott97283429871 | so how do i remove it? | 04:59 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: how did you install your driver to begin with? | 04:59 |
| Dr_willis | sadly ATI and NVIDIA both give Linux the short end of the stuck at imes. | 04:59 |
| Dr_willis | For a long tiem for my ati cards i just used the ATI drivers, not the fglrx one | 04:59 |
| scott97283429871 | i downloaded envyNG | 04:59 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: that's for sure | 04:59 |
| scott97283429871 | and said automatically download approperate driver | 04:59 |
| Eruaran | hello | 04:59 |
| scott97283429871 | and it was working awesome | 04:59 |
| Dr_willis | Normal order i try things.. Repo Drivers, ENVY NG tool, then the ATI.com drivers... | 05:00 |
| kelly | cool | 05:00 |
| szrhawaii | those might work | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | so it was working then is stopped? stopped when? | 05:00 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: i believe that envy should also allow you to un-install the driver | 05:00 |
| scott97283429871 | well the problem with the driver from ATI | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | If you ued envyng - every time the kernel gets updates.. you may need to rerun envyng | 05:00 |
| scott97283429871 | is it had dependencies like XFree86-mesa something | 05:00 |
| scott97283429871 | and i couldnt find anywhere to get those | 05:00 |
| Eruaran | I tried to upgrade to KDE 4.2 beta 1 and screwed up my KDE install... can anyone tell me the best way of restoring things back to the way they were ? | 05:00 |
| jmichaelx | yeah, good point | 05:00 |
| scott97283429871 | so thats why i was going with envy | 05:01 |
| Dr_willis | Eruaran, You have screwed it up? or is this theroet0cal :) | 05:01 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: try using envy to remove your driver | 05:01 |
| jmichaelx | and then re-install it | 05:01 |
| scott97283429871 | okay | 05:01 |
| scott97283429871 | you wouldnt happen to have any idea how to go about that? :D | 05:02 |
| jmichaelx | well, run the envy GUI, to start with, and see if it gives you that option | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | rerun envyng :) | 05:02 |
| scott97283429871 | well | 05:02 |
| scott97283429871 | i have no idea how to get to the gui | 05:03 |
| bigdaddy | jmichaelx: runnin "hardy hero" | 05:03 |
| Eruaran | Dr_willis: Yes I have screwed it up :P | 05:03 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: do you not have X at all right now? | 05:03 |
| scott97283429871 | i dont know what X is. all i know is when i booted it went into safe graphics mode | 05:03 |
| scott97283429871 | and this is where I'm at now | 05:03 |
| jmichaelx | bigdaddy: visit this site, and follow the instructions it gives you for hardy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 05:04 |
| scott97283429871 | if i do locate envy, this is the only thing i get. envy24_control.desktop. | 05:04 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: 'X' is just your graphical display | 05:04 |
| scott97283429871 | but if i run that it says access denied or something like that | 05:04 |
| scott97283429871 | Oh, yeah I do have a gui | 05:05 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: hmm | 05:05 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: can you run 'kdesudo envyng' in a terminal? | 05:06 |
| scott97283429871 | no, kdesudo isnt a program | 05:06 |
| scott97283429871 | ill run apt-get | 05:06 |
| bigdaddy | jmichaelx:sorry 2 b a bother & tq 4 ur help | 05:07 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: use kdesudo instead of sudo, in this case | 05:07 |
| scott97283429871 | what is kdesudo | 05:07 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: just copy and paste 'kdesudo envyng' | 05:07 |
| scott97283429871 | is that like root lvl access? | 05:07 |
| jmichaelx | bigdaddy: it's no problem | 05:07 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: if that is what envyng is called, yes. it should ask for your password, and open the GUI for envy | 05:08 |
| scott97283429871 | okay | 05:08 |
| scott97283429871 | yes i have it up now | 05:08 |
| scott97283429871 | oh, i can unistall the ati driver here | 05:09 |
| scott97283429871 | try that yes? | 05:09 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: try removing the driver you have first | 05:10 |
| scott97283429871 | ok i removed it, and i have to restart. or should i try to install the new one w/o restarting? | 05:10 |
| jmichaelx | i think it gives that option | 05:10 |
| jmichaelx | no, go ahead no and install the ati driver | 05:10 |
| jmichaelx | now* | 05:10 |
| scott97283429871 | okay | 05:10 |
| scott97283429871 | running | 05:11 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: are you using hardy or intrepid? | 05:11 |
| scott97283429871 | umm 8.04? | 05:11 |
| jmichaelx | ok, that is hardy. had you tried any other way to install your driver before you used envy? | 05:12 |
| scott97283429871 | ok. now i have to restart | 05:12 |
| scott97283429871 | yes, I was going to use the driver i downloaded from ATI.com. but i was reading the how to | 05:12 |
| scott97283429871 | and it said i had to install XFree86-mesa-lib or something. but I could't find that anywhere | 05:13 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: OK, it is hard for me to say, but i think it is very possible you would not have even had to use envy... but now that we have taken this route, reboot and see what we have | 05:13 |
| scott97283429871 | okay, brb | 05:13 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: one sec | 05:14 |
| jmichaelx | well, i hope he has X working when he logs back in | 05:14 |
| linux29684 | stdin: is there anything I should add to reporting the bug besides the kvpnc.log and resolv.conf? | 05:16 |

| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: have you tried going into your system settings where you (sometimes) have the option of choosing which driver you want to use? | 05:20 |
| scott97283429871 | no | 05:21 |
| scott97283429871 | where do i go about doing that? | 05:21 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: click on your start button, and select 'system settings' | 05:21 |
| jmichaelx | the select 'display' | 05:22 |
| jmichaelx | then* | 05:22 |
| scott97283429871 | i dont have a system settings button | 05:22 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: it will likely be at the very bottom of your menu.... you are using KDE, correct? | 05:23 |
| scott97283429871 | again, not sure what KDE is. its Ubuntu 8.04 | 05:23 |
| jmichaelx | you're not using Kubuntu? | 05:24 |
| scott97283429871 | no im using ubuntu | 05:25 |
| scott97283429871 | ohh, i get it wrong room | 05:25 |
| jmichaelx | ahh. well, this room is the support channel for Kubuntu. much is the same, but the GUI is different. ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop environment.. and i am not nearly as familiar with Gnome as i am with KDE | 05:26 |
| scott97283429871 | oh, i c | 05:26 |
| scott97283429871 | i just need to find like a control pannel in windows right? | 05:26 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: on the bar (called a 'panel') at the top of your screen, there should be a selection that says something like 'system' or something... | 05:27 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: yeah, same idea | 05:27 |
| scott97283429871 | yeah | 05:28 |
| scott97283429871 | i have like system>preferences, and administration | 05:28 |
| jmichaelx | ok, click 'system'... i think you should find 'display'or something similar under preferences | 05:28 |
| scott97283429871 | i can go to screen resolution | 05:29 |
| scott97283429871 | i can get to something called displayconfig | 05:29 |
| scott97283429871 | i would assume thats probably like what your talking about | 05:30 |
| scott97283429871 | thats where i set the drivers i want and everything | 05:30 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: well, somewhere in there, you should find something that allows you to select which driver you want to use | 05:30 |
| scott97283429871 | yes | 05:30 |
| jmichaelx | ok, try that.... | 05:30 |
| scott97283429871 | yeah | 05:30 |
| jmichaelx | you want to select fglrx, if it is listed | 05:30 |
| scott97283429871 | ive been here before | 05:30 |
| master_ | What version of kubuntu has kde 4? | 05:31 |
| scott97283429871 | i can select fglrx, or i can go to choose driver by model and do ati radeon(fglrx) | 05:31 |
| jmichaelx | master_: you can run KDE4 in 8.04, as an option, and KDE4 is the default in 8.10 | 05:31 |
| master_ | ok... downloading 8.10 now.. | 05:33 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: hmm....i am not sure which to tell you to select. i think if you had gone to this at the beginning, it would likely have installed the driver for you. since you already have envy's driver, i am thinking you may just need to select 'fglrx' | 05:33 |
| scott97283429871 | okay ill try that | 05:33 |
| scott97283429871 | should i log out and back in or restart? | 05:34 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: in this whole process, you could lose your graphical display. do you have a way of coming back in here if that happens? | 05:34 |
| scott97283429871 | no. but everytime i mess it up it automaticallly goes into safe graphics mode if i cant boot normally | 05:35 |
| jmichaelx | ok, well that is a good deal | 05:35 |
| scott97283429871 | thats actually how im here now. it just used a generic driver i suppose | 05:35 |
| jmichaelx | yes... you could just retsart X, but why don't you just go ahead and reboot | 05:35 |
| scott97283429871 | hey, so this is kinda stupid questin, but how do i respond to you instead of the whole room? | 05:35 |
| scott97283429871 | like when you say stuff to me its yellow | 05:36 |
| scott97283429871 | not exactly relevent to teh discussion, but im curious | 05:36 |
| jmichaelx | just type the first several letters of my nickname, and hit <TAB> | 05:36 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: oh lol ok ty | 05:37 |
| scott97283429871 | ok brb, restarting | 05:37 |
| jmichaelx | there you go | 05:37 |
| jmichaelx | ok | 05:37 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: ok, no luck | 05:40 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: is there someway to like completely reset my Xserver or something | 05:40 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: in this case, i am afraid i don't know what to tell you | 05:40 |
| scott97283429871 | hmm | 05:40 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: you might try asking in #ubuntu | 05:41 |
| jmichaelx | unless someone else in here has more of a clue than i have | 05:41 |
| Derath | Question: how do I create shortcuts on the desktop? I liked having a shortcut to /home/user and /home/user/Documents? | 05:41 |
| scott97283429871 | okay, i suppose ill do that. would my xorg.conf offer any help? | 05:41 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: to be honest Xorg has changed so much the last year or so, that i am a bit lost anymore. a year ago, i think i could have told you exactly what to do, but not anymore | 05:42 |
| scott97283429871 | oh, i see. are there any other files relevent to my display? | 05:43 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: as a last ditch effort, you could try entering 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' in a terminal, and trying selecting yourdriver one more time. | 05:44 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: ok, Ill try that. thank you so much for your help. | 05:45 |
| jmichaelx | np | 05:45 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: ok, so i have a new development | 05:47 |
| jmichaelx | what is that? | 05:47 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: see if you can wrap your head around this. i went back into my displayconfig, and changed my default screen from screen 1 to screen 2. then i loged off and back on. | 05:48 |
| scott97283429871 | and now one monitor is like normal. but the other one is off | 05:48 |
| jmichaelx | interesting | 05:48 |
| scott97283429871 | yeah | 05:49 |
| jmichaelx | did you have both going before? | 05:49 |
| jmichaelx | and is the one that is on using fglrx now? | 05:49 |
| scott97283429871 | now if i go back into screen resolution, both displays are recognized and i can change the resolution on my main one | 05:49 |
| scott97283429871 | yes, everything was working, well infact. but i wanted to extend my desktop to the second screen and thats when things went bad | 05:50 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: what do you think about trying to install the driver from envy again? | 05:50 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: i would REALLY recommend that you poke around through the forums on this issue, as well as google | 05:50 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: do you think you are using fglrx now? | 05:51 |
| scott97283429871 | okay. Ive been looking around and i wasnt really able to find anything thing that was like an answer all. yeah, my driver is ATI Radeion (fglrx) | 05:51 |
| jmichaelx | ok, we have made progress then. what you need to do is enter 'radeon 9600 dual monitors hardy' or something like that in the forums or in google and see if you can't find specific instructions for setting this up using your card | 05:53 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: okay, i will definently try that. thank you so much | 05:53 |
| jmichaelx | you're welcome, although i have not really helped you much in achieving your goal... but i am sure there is a way to do this | 05:54 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: i still appreciate it, you were the onlyone even willing to help :D | 05:54 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871: find some documentation, and if you need help following it, come back in here, or go to #ubuntu and ask for help following the instructions you find | 05:55 |
| scott97283429871 | jmichaelx: ok, I will. thanks again! | 05:55 |
| jmichaelx | scott97283429871 very welcome | 05:55 |
| Derath | jmichaelx, mind if I pick your mind for a bit? | 05:56 |
| jmichaelx | Derath: i am going to bed soon, but i can try to help for a few more minutes yet | 05:56 |
| Derath | Well, I was just hoping to create two shortcuts on the desktop, one for my home dir, and the other for my doc dir.... is that possible on kde4? | 05:57 |
| jmichaelx | Derath: you should be able to do that in folder view in KDE4.1... | 05:58 |
| Derath | folder view? | 05:58 |
| jmichaelx | !folder view | 05:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about folder view | 05:58 |
| jmichaelx | hmm | 05:59 |
| jmichaelx | Derath: the desktop in KDE4 is set up a bit differently than it was in KDE3 | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | thats an UNDERSTATEMENT :) | 05:59 |
| Derath | so I've noticed, not bad though, but lack of shortcuts on the desktop has been awkward | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | 'Down with Cluttered Desktops!' :) | 06:00 |
| jmichaelx | when you first logged in to KDE4, you should have seen a transparent box on your desktop, which is kind of a window into your ~/Desktop directory | 06:00 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: yeah, it really was an understatement | 06:01 |
| Derath | lol mine's not cluttered, I just need 3-4 shortcuts/links to make life easier with commonly used apps :) | 06:01 |
| * Derath upgraded from 8.04 w/ kde3 to 8.10 w/ kde4 | 06:01 | |
| Derath | not really by choice either | 06:01 |
| Dr_willis | Put launchers on the panel :) | 06:01 |
| jmichaelx | Derath: you would also have an option to put launchers in your panel | 06:02 |
| jmichaelx | ok jinks | 06:02 |
| Dr_willis | You cant just drag/drop menu items from the menu to the Panel any more.. :( or at least you couldent last i tried.. it may be doable now | 06:02 |
| Derath | I saw the launchers, and from what I could tell, I either get the old style k menu, or the suse-like kicker menu, | 06:03 |
| jmichaelx | well, you could configure 2 different quick access panel icons | 06:03 |
| Derath | willis: did that for my app shortcuts, but hard to do with shortcuts to urls/directories | 06:03 |
| Derath | willis: I'd like to have a shortcut to /home and /home/documents | 06:04 |
| jmichaelx | Derath: you could add 2 quick access widgets to your panel, and link one to your ~/Desktop and one to your ~/Documents | 06:04 |
| Derath | hmm I guess I could get used to that instead | 06:05 |
| mds58 | just out of curiosity what are the min. requirements for kubuntu8.10 | 06:06 |
| jmichaelx | Derath: i am still in the process of getting to know kde4 myself | 06:06 |
| Derath | Kde4's not necessarily bad, I'm just stubborn and trying to get used to it... know how long it took me to find the "Control Panel"? lol | 06:06 |
| jmichaelx | mds58: what are the specs of your machine? | 06:06 |
| mds58 | just loaded it on my desktop and was thinking of giving it a go on my old 2ghz p3 laptop | 06:06 |
| jmichaelx | mds58: you have a p3 that runs at 2Ghz? | 06:07 |
| jmichaelx | mds58: that sounds more like a P4 | 06:07 |
| mds58 | maybe its a celeron I am tired but I do know it is a single core | 06:07 |
| Derath | and is nepomuk worth the extra cpu time it uses? lol | 06:07 |
| jmichaelx | mds58: kubuntu should run just fine on that CPU... especially if you have 512MB RAM or more | 06:08 |
| mds58 | 512 of the 266 mhz ram | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | i find kde4 sluggush on my machines. :( but it is improveing... | 06:09 |
| jmichaelx | mds58: you may not have some of the glitter of the compositing managers if it doesn't have a decent graphics adapter | 06:09 |
| mds58 | will it run walk or crall ? | 06:09 |
| macjason0607 | sheesh | 06:09 |
| macjason0607 | kubuntu crashes all the time | 06:09 |
| macjason0607 | anyone mind looking at my logs ? | 06:10 |
| Derath | Thanks jmichael and willis! | 06:10 |
| mds58 | I think the grafics are ati but not sure it is running freespire 2.0 right now | 06:10 |
| macjason0607 | anyone ? | 06:10 |
| jmichaelx | mds58: it should run fine, but you may not be able to use kwin's compositing manager or compiz.... to me that would be no big deal anyways | 06:10 |
| mds58 | I use it for wine and OOo | 06:10 |
| === mike is now known as Guest53700 | ||

| mds58 | where did they hide that on the 8.10 distro | 06:35 |

| Dr_willis | kasdaye, that may or may not be a feature of kde 4 yet. i recall in kde3 and gnome they had a 'show only current desktop' type options in the panel/task list.. but not sure bout kde4 | 07:25 |
| Dr_willis | 'show windows from all workspaces' vs ' show windows from current workspace' - in gnome terms. :) Im in gnome right now | 07:25 |
| kasdaye | Yeah, I can't seem to find it in KDE4. Dang. | 07:26 |

| tbr281 | ok so i managed to do that | 07:48 |
| tbr281 | but its small and can be dragged across the desktop | 07:48 |
| Dr_willis | You shoudl of drag/dropped it onto the panel not the desktop | 07:49 |
| tbr281 | ok i got it | 07:52 |
| tbr281 | thnx | 07:52 |

| l3d | ok I am running gnome as default and have a couple of kde apps installed and installed kcontrol to change the theme/color of these apps to match my current one in gnome and have since removed kcontrol. which is fine themes i set using it still are set but I was wondering what file would I have to copy to back up these settings. I mean is there a way to back up the color settings for kde so I dont have to install kcontrol every time to set them? | 07:53 |
| Andrew`` | fdisk /dev/sda | 07:54 |
| Andrew`` | Unable to open /dev/sda | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | most all kde settings are in the .kde/ directory and sub directories | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | Andrew``, you format /dev/sda1 most likely.. not sda | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | and if you leave the drive Unallocatged.. the installer 'should' partition and format it as needed.. | 07:54 |
| Andrew`` | fdisk /dev/sda1 | 07:55 |
| Andrew`` | Unable to open /dev/sda1 | 07:55 |
| Dr_willis | You format sda1, you fdisk /dev/sda and since its a ROOT TYPE TASK.. You must use sudo for both. :) | 07:55 |
| Dr_willis | You dont want users formating your drives now do ya :P | 07:56 |
| Dr_willis | sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 07:56 |
| Andrew`` | ok I am used to su, not sudo, you will need to walk me through this | 07:57 |
| Dr_willis | use 'd' to delete partitions, 'w' to write changes.. | 07:57 |
| Dr_willis | sudo is so much harder eh? :P | 07:57 |
| Andrew`` | http://www.pastebin.ca/1278583 <--- is that correct and if so what do I type? | 08:01 |
| Dr_willis | There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, | 08:05 |
| Dr_willis | and could in certain setups cause problems with: | 08:05 |

| rockprincess | hello, i need help please! when i start my computer, i get a "file examing progress" dialog message, saying in it: "source: trash/" or something like that. there are no icons on my desktop that are usually shown, so my desktop is empty except for the wallpaper image. there is no kmenu either, the ktaskbar is empty as well, and the light in my computer is constantly red (usually just blinking) indicating that it's always writin | 08:36 |
| rockprincess | i booted with a live-cd, to make sure my files in my desktop and home folder are all still there....which they are thankfully... | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | Try making a new user.. see if they can login as a test. | 08:38 |
| bodobacs | Hi! I am tired of typing my password all day to sudo. Every day I start with login, wvdial, kopete, synaptic ... so many times. I am about to hate it! What should i do? | 08:39 |
| tbr281 | damn Nazi's! | 08:39 |
| rockprincess | Dr_willis: that's my problem, because i cant even open a konsole session, because the kmenu is gone, when i wait for a while, it appears but still i can't click the kmenu, because my computer is constantly "writing" | 08:40 |
| Dr_willis | use the console, alt-ctrl-f1 check top/htop output see if anything is running rampant, try making a new user, | 08:42 |
| Dr_willis | sudo for kopete? Hmmm.... | 08:42 |
| rockprincess | ok, thanks i will try that.... | 08:42 |
| bodobacs | KWallet | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | bodobacs, you can set up specifi users to run specific apps without them needing to use sudo. Check the sudo manpages/docs/guides/tutorials | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | theres more to 'sudo' then 'the command you type to doo root things' :) | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | well they do use sudo.. :) they just can be set up where they dont need to enter the password. or other tweaks | 08:44 |
| bodobacs | But canceling the password won't be too safe, will itt? | 08:45 |
| rockprincess | Dr_willis: ok tried that, pressed alz+ctrl | 08:46 |
| rockprincess | alt+ctrl+f1 | 08:46 |
| rockprincess | ooops typo | 08:46 |
| rockprincess | but all i get is a black screen with loads of messages | 08:46 |
| Dr_willis | bodobacs, its all about tradeoffs... You can disallow the password for specidfic commands | 08:47 |
| bodobacs | My password already in the history tho :D | 08:47 |
| bodobacs | ok, i see | 08:47 |
| bodobacs | thanx | 08:47 |
| rockprincess | status: { DRDY ERR } and error: { ABRT } | 08:48 |
| rockprincess | the thing is these messages go on and on forever..... | 08:49 |
| rockprincess | they won't stop....hence the writing progress i think.....it's crazy..... | 08:49 |
| bodobacs | ctrl-c | 08:49 |
| rockprincess | i'll just try and google that.... | 08:49 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like some nasty hardware conflict/issue/falusre | 08:52 |
| Dr_willis | like a HD is goingout.. | 08:53 |
| rockprincess | shit.... | 08:54 |
| rockprincess | are there diagnostic tools, that i could check with? | 08:54 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | !smart | 08:55 |
| ubottu | smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible. See http://labix.org/smart and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SmartPackageManager | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | thats not it... | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | Theres the smartmon tools... | 08:55 |
| Dr_willis | check the errors more.. it may not be the hd.. but it sure shounds like the hd | 08:56 |
| rockprincess | hmm, the thing is i cannot install anything, since kubuntu won't let me even open a konsole | 08:56 |
| rockprincess | i just try to backup my stuff from the hd with knoppix | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. YOumay want to se eif knoppix reports similer messages also | 08:57 |

| Neremor | if i type "apt-get upgrade" in a konsole, i am asked to upgrade all the programs. Thats what i want, but there are also over 30 packages that are hold back for some reasons, for example "gwenview" or "akregator"... | 10:05 |
| Neremor | why? | 10:06 |
| smitt | because is it common upgrade command | 10:06 |

| glade88 | I see that opera is included in the 3rd party "partner" repos? was it excluded in hardy? | 10:07 |
| Neremor | i now what it means that they are hold back but i would like to know why they are hold back. Isn't it recommended to upgrade those packages? are the recent releases of that software not compatible with kde 4.2 anymore | 10:08 |
| Neremor | ? | 10:08 |
| Neremor | i don't think they are hold back because the programers wanted to make a joke ;) | 10:09 |

| DOT_DASH | Hi, just moved from Ubuntu to Kubuntu & was trying to speed up my video. I tried the Nvidia driver, but it was slow. I took the driver out, and now my monitor is stuck at 640x480. There's no other settings in "System Settings / Monitor & Display". How do I get back the other settings, specifically 1600x1200? | 10:37 |
| Neremor | hello! | 10:41 |

| Neremor | i tried to upgrade my system to kde 4.2 right now | 10:42 |
| Neremor | but i can't install the new kde-window manager | 10:42 |
| Neremor | i get an error like "dpkg returned error code (1)" and that it was terminated because of a broken pipe | 10:42 |
| Neremor | now i can't use kwin anymore | 10:42 |

| lumm | *u should | 10:43 |
| Neremor | it's not an error about kde 4.2 | 10:43 |
| Neremor | it's an error about the update prozess | 10:43 |
| Neremor | and to tell my that i should not use kde 4.2 isn't very helpful right now ;) | 10:43 |
| lumm | this might happen cuz of broken packages ?;) | 10:44 |

| vistakiller | Neremor there is some package that you must remove | 10:49 |
| Neremor | which? | 10:49 |
| vistakiller | i remember that was with plasmoid | 10:49 |

| danyyy | hello | 13:14 |
| nata | Hi, I have a big Problem with my Intel 82801 SATA RAID Controller | 13:14 |
| danyyy | what problem? | 13:14 |
| nata | Kubuntu 8.10 is installed on a 2x500GB Raid0 array | 13:14 |
| danyyy | so, what is the problem? | 13:15 |
| nata | And since kernel x.8 the kernel can't find the raid array | 13:15 |
| nata | the problem is: since I installed the fglrx driver the old x.4 kernel also can't find the array | 13:16 |
| danyyy | mmmmmmmmm dificult! | 13:16 |
| nata | Very difficult | 13:16 |
| nata | I spend the whole last day trying to fix it | 13:16 |
| nata | maybe it is because the initrd got rebuild (I guess)? | 13:17 |
| danyyy | i don't know, sorry | 13:17 |
| nata | I tried to re-download the 8.10 live cd, but it's kernel is x.7 (I installed from a 8.10 RC, I no longer have) | 13:18 |
| nata | I'm now on 8.04 but their most recend kernel also can't recognise this damn fakeraid | 13:19 |

| sevenseeker | j3frea: active... that is relative since I am still drinking coffee :) | 13:49 |
| j3frea | I've got a problem with media keys on my dell inspiron 1525 | 13:49 |
| j3frea | I've got 8.10 right now | 13:49 |
| j3frea | most of the keys work, the one problem is the stop button | 13:49 |
| j3frea | it lowers the volume | 13:49 |
| j3frea | the volume keys also work but they seem to link to the kmix thing, the stop button gets hijacked somewhere else | 13:50 |
| xjarrett | Cannon: :D | 13:50 |
| j3frea | I'm not sure how to fix it | 13:50 |
| j3frea | any ideas? | 13:51 |
| sevenseeker | you could try going to "system settings>keyboard & mouse> global keyboard settings' | 13:51 |
| sevenseeker | I did that and it worked for a while, then suddenly stopped so YMMV | 13:51 |
| j3frea | system settings>keyboard & mouse... there is no global keyboard settings | 13:52 |
| j3frea | there's keyboard shortcuts | 13:52 |
| j3frea | apparently khotkeys is broken on kde4 | 13:52 |
| j3frea | I'd like to figure out what application is being called when I hit the stop key | 13:53 |
| j3frea | is it possible to do that? | 13:53 |
| j3frea | and how | 13:53 |
| DaSkreech | The stop key? | 13:53 |
| j3frea | ye, my media keys... | 13:53 |
| j3frea | the stop key is lowering the volume | 13:53 |
| DaSkreech | oh | 13:54 |
| j3frea | but not in the same way as the volume keys do | 13:54 |
| DaSkreech | KDe3? | 13:54 |
| j3frea | nope kde4 | 13:54 |
| j3frea | ironically kde3 worked perfectly with all the media keys on my 1525 | 13:54 |
| j3frea | (dell inspiron) | 13:54 |
| DaSkreech | Right | 13:54 |
| chris_ | KDE 4 is actually quite better, behind the scenes. | 13:54 |
| chris_ | They couldn't do any more to the KDE 3.x base, so they rewrote it for KDE 4 | 13:54 |
| j3frea | ja, if only that were true of the front... | 13:54 |
| j3frea | lol | 13:54 |
| sevenseeker | ah yes, shortcuts | 13:54 |
| sevenseeker | going by memory :_) | 13:55 |
| chris_ | KDE 4 is much more powerfui, internally, but it'll just take time for it to show. | 13:55 |
| _gunni_ | j3frea: You can first check if the key gives the right keycode with the program xev | 13:55 |

| j3frea | sevenseeker: mine too - but I made the mistake of upgrading :D | 13:55 |
| sevenseeker | actually almost everything 'just worked' | 13:55 |
| j3frea | ye | 13:56 |
| sevenseeker | j3frea: indeed, I am kicking myself... I just couldn't resist :) | 13:56 |
| j3frea | but I must say, I like plasmoids | 13:56 |
| j3frea | sevenseeker: are you also on kde4 then? | 13:56 |

| sevenseeker | j3frea: yes | 13:56 |
| chris062689 | Ah. sorry, had my KDE's mixed up :P | 13:56 |
| chris062689 | Does anyone know how to install Firefox in KDE 4, without installing all of the GNOME-crap? | 13:57 |
| j3frea | sevenseeker: lol, ja - I'm kind of annoyed that things are not "just working" | 13:57 |
| sevenseeker | j3frea: I will be rebuilding my system to 8.04 in a month after my box is fixed and I have a new drive :( | 13:57 |

| chris062689 | It.. does? | 13:58 |
| j3frea | DaSkreech: I figure I'm doing something dumb | 13:58 |
| chris062689 | You should probably submit a bug anyway. | 13:58 |
| j3frea | DaSkreech: I was hoping there was some sort of program (like keytouch) that would help | 13:58 |
| chris062689 | Just incase. | 13:58 |
| DaSkreech | j3frea: Well if your probing shows that it is submitting the right keycode then some detection may be wrong | 13:58 |
| sevenseeker | DaSkreech: yes, partial upgrade last night... little improvments here and there but my multimedia keys still do not work and my touchpad doesn't have scroll :( (inspiron 9300) | 13:58 |
| j3frea | how do I link the keycode with an action, or change the keycode... | 13:58 |
| DaSkreech | chris062689: Right click the entry bar and you should have check spelling | 13:59 |
| sevenseeker | 4.2 is however not mucking up icons like 4.1 was and when I open up new windows it doesn't look like electronic vomit :) | 13:59 |

| Farmer | ah k, not sure its the same then.... | 17:18 |
| samirnassar | is there any special sauce needed to make Kopete work with Google's jabber? | 17:18 |
| Farmer | but you could try to turn off all power saving futures in "power managment" in advanced system settings | 17:18 |
| samirnassar | I can connect to the port via telnet so I don't think it is a connection problem | 17:19 |
| Farmer | and enable power controll in the display tab instead | 17:19 |
| === bruno is now known as Guest21583 | ||

| pisecx | * should | 20:53 |
| draik | MilitantPotato: Yes. I've been going through this since I upgraded to 8.10 | 20:53 |
| OculusAquilae | Having installed kde should not be a problem but for knetworkmanager you have to install kubuntu-desktop | 20:54 |
| OculusAquilae | or you can install it seperately | 20:54 |
| pisecx | OculusAquilae: what is the difference between this two packages? | 20:54 |
| pisecx | * these | 20:54 |
| draik | MilitantPotato: If I convert the DVD to an ISO with k9copy, I can mount it and have kaffeine play it. Otherwise, direct play from my DVD drive will give me the encryption error message. | 20:56 |
| embrik | draik, And you can't watch dvd? Then I don't know | 20:57 |
| OculusAquilae | pisecx: kde should install the whole kde which comes from the kde project and kubuntu-desktop installs the package selection of kubuntu with some extra packages and without some other packages that are in kde | 20:57 |
| draik | embrik: Only if I convert the DVD to an ISO and then mount it. | 20:57 |
| pisecx | OculusAquilae: so the best idea is to install both | 20:57 |
| pisecx | OculusAquilae: am I righ? | 20:57 |
| pisecx | * right | 20:57 |
| MilitantPotato | draik: if you open the DVD from dolphin will kaffeine play it? | 20:58 |
| OculusAquilae | I prefer installing kubuntu-desktop only because I like a system cleaned up :) | 20:58 |

| macjason0607 | embrik, do i apt-get that ? | 21:03 |
| embrik | yes | 21:03 |
| Dr_willis | macjason0607, acidemux - can also do that.. depending on what you are wanting to do exactly | 21:03 |
| Dr_willis | or ffmpeg, or mencoder | 21:03 |
| Dr_willis | ffmpeg foo.avi foo.mp4 | 21:03 |
| macjason0607 | Dr_willis, that easy ? | 21:03 |
| embrik | Dr_willis, I like the gui in devede :-) Not too much konsole oriented | 21:04 |
| Dr_willis | I just use devede to make dvd iso files. | 21:04 |
| Dr_willis | of course devede is calling ffmpeg or mencoder in the background | 21:04 |

| draik | MilitantPotato: Seems that Kaffeine might be the issue since VLC plays fine. I just installed libxine1-all-plugins. Let me check if it works now. | 21:21 |
| draik | MilitantPotato: No, didn't change a thing with kaffeine. Still the same error message: This DVD Video is encrypted. To be able to watch it you will need to install libdvdcss by running from a console: sudo /usr/share/doc/kaffeine/install-css.sh. In some countries it is illegal to install the decryption software without permission from the video copyright holder. | 21:22 |
| MilitantPotato | draik: I have to open kaff, then click play dvd for kaff to work, otherwise I get that exact same error | 21:23 |
| MilitantPotato | draik: also, if I stop the DVD, and play it again, it throws that error up for some reason, even though it was just playing it | 21:24 |
| MilitantPotato | draik: VLC is a better media player IMO, if you can get past it's uglyness. | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | never noticed it being ugly.. | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | i just need a few buttons and a slider and full screen. :) | 21:25 |
| draik | MilitantPotato: I get the error message either way. | 21:26 |
| draik | Don't suppose anyone here knows the code for Wanted? It's binary and I know it has to correspond to a letter since the binary answer will be an ASCII character. | 21:27 |
| benbloom | ok-- I have to say this. and I know it's pointless to even say and may even be offtopic, but KDE4 is AWEFULL!! it seems to combine all the things that are suck about both Windows and OSX (esp. lack of flexibility and intuitive use) without being familiar enough to be easily adopted by someone who has worked with any WM or OS. Why is Ubuntu not supporting KDE3 in intrepid. and what has happened to the development of KDE that it has | 21:27 |
| benbloom | gone so terribly wrong!' | 21:27 |
| embrik | I need the packages to get my wife's laptop back on the internet - I've removed network-manager-kde and networkmanager. I have booted the laptop on a kubuntu cd and thought I could find the packages there - can anyounbe point me in the right direction, plaeas | 21:27 |
| benbloom | embrik: I have also been having problems getting my laptop online with kde4. in Ubuntu Intrepid I was able to get online by simply accessing the /etc/network/interfaces file and using ifconfig up and down to get on and off. are you having problems with wireless? or wired or both connections | 21:36 |
| embrik | benbloom, both :-( | 21:38 |
| embrik | anybody - I have removed network-manager-kde and am unable to get online both on wireless and cabled - what do I do? | 21:40 |
| benbloom | are you familiar with ifconfig and /etc/network/interfaces? | 21:41 |

| Ch1ppy | hey, I want to check out the kde 4.2 beta, but I need MSN packages... can I expect an update to the release announcement once the msn packages have been completed? | 21:53 |
| embrik | It seems I can install network-manager-kde on another laptop with ubuntu - is it possible to use apt-get to just install the deb-packages and find it in a catalogue afterwards? | 21:55 |
| benbloom | not sure I understand your question | 21:56 |
| benbloom | not sure I understand your question embrik | 21:57 |
| embrik | benbloom, I apt-get -d install network-manager-kde on a ubuntu laptop - the -d option means just downloading the packages. Do you know where to find them? | 21:58 |
| benbloom | but why do you want to download only? did you say you removed it? why not reinstall? | 22:01 |
| embrik | benbloom, I have not internet connection on the laptop in question - I am using another laptop to get reach of the programme I need | 22:03 |
| chris062689 | Is KDevelop in the 8.10 repos made for creating KDE 4 apps, or KDE 3? | 22:04 |
| benbloom | oh right. sorry. not very clear of me. are you running the same version of Kubuntu on both computers? | 22:06 |
| benbloom | try adding this line to /etc/network/interfaces: | 22:07 |
| benbloom | auto eth0 (if that's your wired device) | 22:08 |
| benbloom | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 22:08 |
| benbloom | then type: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 22:09 |
| embrik | benbloom, I'll try | 22:09 |
| macjason0607 | can't i burn an avi to a dvd ? | 22:10 |
| benbloom | btw: I'm not an expert. and only know the tools that I've used in my own struggle with the same issue | 22:10 |
| benbloom | macjason0607: tovid is a nice utility for this | 22:11 |
| embrik | benbloom, yiiiiipppppi :-) | 22:11 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest2608 | ||
| macjason0607 | benbloom, how do you guys know about all these packages ? | 22:12 |
| benbloom | nice embrik! works? | 22:12 |
| benbloom | here-- and google. but mostly here macjason0607 | 22:13 |
| benbloom | that's what's so great about the irc | 22:13 |
| embrik | benbloom, works back in the game :-) | 22:13 |
| macjason0607 | benbloom, what kubuntu avi to dvd ? | 22:14 |
| bmageors | hello everyone.. | 22:14 |
| benbloom | horay embrik. so glad I could help. now i only wish I could understand why my wireless laptop isn't getting dhcpoffers from my router | 22:14 |
| rogan | is there a way to link a folder in another folder? | 22:15 |
| macjason0607 | i just installed tvoid .. i don't see it in my multimedia section | 22:15 |
| macjason0607 | is it a term app | 22:15 |
| === root is now known as Guest96255 | ||
| benbloom | macjason0607: i'm jsut saying that the irc is a great tool for asking real people in realtime about packages. I will say this. ToVid falls very short of VSO's ConvertXtoDVD (which doesn't work properly via WINE) | 22:16 |
| macjason0607 | is it a term utily or gui ? | 22:16 |
| benbloom | well macjason0607, it does have a CLI and and Interactive CLI as well as a GUI but it should show up in multimedia | 22:17 |
| benbloom | you may need to install the gui package | 22:17 |
| rogan | How do you create a folder shortcut ? | 22:17 |
| benbloom | sudo apt-get install tovidgui -- macjason0607 | 22:18 |
| benbloom | rogan: ln -s folder foldershortcut | 22:18 |
| macjason0607 | thanks benbloom | 22:20 |
| macjason0607 | i got to right a lot of packages down because if i ever have to reinstall i need to know them | 22:21 |
| benbloom | np macjason0607. it needs work. I'm actually working on my own programming/scripting skills specifically to contribute to this package | 22:21 |
| benbloom | well tovidgui will install tovid as well so that one alone should suffice in your list macjason0607 | 22:22 |

| macjason0607 | benbloom, im still new to kubuntu been using it for a week .. what is kicker ? i know when i empty trash my panel crashes | 22:32 |
| benbloom | kicker is the panel at the botom of the screen. but if you're using Kubuntu 8.10 (ibex) you're running a totally dif version of KDE than me | 22:33 |
| Cannon | do you know of a zip program from kubuntu benbloom? | 22:34 |
| antoranz | Can anybody help me with a problem that I have with kdm? | 22:34 |

| macjason0607 | nope | 22:52 |
| macjason0607 | yea open with | 22:52 |
| macjason0607 | i see it | 22:52 |

| robin0800 | simonsbd: yes to both | 22:56 |
| simonsbd | yes | 22:56 |
| benbloom | ah in that case. I would recommend using k3b if it's available | 22:57 |
| simonsbd | but I am still learning Linux here | 22:57 |
| benbloom | macjason0607: is the iso an image of a vcd? | 22:58 |
| macjason0607 | how do i tell | 22:58 |
| simonsbd | the new verson will burn to CD or DVD | 22:59 |
| benbloom | well when you click on the iso what hapens? | 23:01 |
| simonsbd | mine just started to burn to the cdr to make cd | 23:04 |
| isaacj87 | Hey everyone, can someone tell me why my twitter plasmoid doesn't show updates anymore? | 23:05 |
| benbloom | so macjason0607 what happens when you open the iso with the kde default app (just by left-clicking on it) | 23:05 |
| tkstka | second problem is how do I make torrents that I download from firefox to open up with ktorrent everytime? So is there way to make a file open from a certaint program when you download it | 23:07 |

| === Ardarandir1 is now known as Ardarandir | ||
| benbloom | tkstka: I have done this. | 23:12 |
| tkstka | so you know | 23:12 |
| tkstka | can you help me | 23:12 |
| tkstka | :) | 23:12 |
| benbloom | 1 sec | 23:13 |
| benbloom | so in edit:preferences there's a tab for applications. it should be listed under TORRENT | 23:14 |
| antoranz | guys, there are like 200 items in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/session | 23:15 |
| antoranz | which ones are enabled to be shown on kdm? | 23:15 |
| benbloom | tkstka: did that work? | 23:16 |
| tkstka | benbloom: didnt quite get | 23:20 |
| tkstka | that | 23:20 |
| tkstka | where exactly | 23:20 |
| benbloom | antoranz: you may want to ask at #kde instead. I think you're trying to mess with your splash but I don't really know much about kdm | 23:20 |
| tkstka | do I do changes | 23:20 |
| athlon1 | Where are konquereor options? With kde 3.51 konqueror had more options that now: devices, printers, ... Where are the now? | 23:20 |
| benbloom | tkstka: in firefox, click on the edit menu then preferences | 23:20 |
| benbloom | it opens a window that should have several tabs at the top. click on applications | 23:21 |
| antoranz | I wish it were a splash problem, man. :'( I've been asking about my problem for a week.. not a word of help | 23:21 |
| tkstka | ya | 23:21 |
| tkstka | I found it where is exactly firefox located | 23:22 |
| tkstka | so I can select | 23:22 |
| tkstka | it from | 23:22 |
| joseph | ciao | 23:22 |
| antoranz | benbloom: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/303576 | 23:22 |
| benbloom | wait-- no you want to do this from firefox's menu. while running firefox | 23:24 |
| benbloom | but ai just looked at your earlier post and realized. do you have ktorrent installed properly? | 23:24 |
| tkstka | benbloom: thanks | 23:26 |
| tkstka | I got it to work | 23:26 |
| benbloom | like i said before antoranz I'm not using kde4 and think I'll be switching from Kubuntu altogether because their implimentation of KDE4 is terrible | 23:26 |
| benbloom | it sounds like a hardware compatibility problem with your proprietary hardware. again. I recommend you ask the fellas over at #kde. | 23:27 |
| antoranz | but that makes no sense.... how come if I just call startkde on a running X session, it works? | 23:28 |
| antoranz | I have gnome also set and it's started without directrendering | 23:29 |
| Ashex | how do I get rid of the password prompt when mounting disks in dolphin? | 23:29 |
| antoranz | man... how crazy is this? | 23:29 |
| tkstka | very noob question but what is the difference between gnome and KDE | 23:29 |
| cuznt | i do not know what gnome is | 23:30 |
| cuznt | but kde rocks dude | 23:30 |
| gl_ | tkstka: if you are new try both. I like kde better | 23:30 |
| tkstka | well ya | 23:31 |
| tkstka | but what is the difference | 23:31 |
| tkstka | is there any | 23:31 |
| tkstka | ? | 23:31 |
| tkstka | : | 23:31 |
| tkstka | O | 23:31 |
| gl_ | they are different window managers | 23:31 |
| benbloom | tkstka: gnome and KDE are different Desktop managers they can be thought of as a GUI for your OS. do a google search for "desktop environment" "window manager" for more info | 23:31 |

| ubottu | Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy | 23:36 |
| benbloom | I use JWM on my old clunker laptop instead of gnome, though I still use several gnome libs and applets | 23:38 |
| tkstka | this is so nice channel | 23:39 |
| tkstka | :) | 23:39 |
| benbloom | yes-- I'm gonna miss it when I switch to Fedora (can't stand Kubuntu Intrepid) | 23:40 |
| Zehava | I'm using Kubuntu Hardy KDE 4 and I accidentally removed the task manager from the bar at the bottom of the desktop, so now it doesn't show me the tabs of what's running. How can I put it back? | 23:44 |
| benbloom | why are you still on Hardy if you're using kde4? migration to Intrepid should be very easy for you. | 23:46 |
| Wicked | hmm. i installed awn and started it...but i dont see it anywhere. is it not possilbe to use it in kubuntu8.10? | 23:47 |
| cuznt | !awn | 23:55 |

| cuznt | it would appear so | 23:56 |
| Wicked | yea. i had to install compiz and run compiz 1st | 23:56 |
