| benbloom | I don't think windows know's how to deal with the linux file system. are you using a partition editor in windows? | 00:01 |
| yanko | no | 00:03 |
| yanko | i made the partion while instaling vista | 00:03 |
| wers | i press alt+f2 then the run dialog doesnt run. i checked in system settings and it still is the keyboard shortcut. any idea? | 00:04 |
| dios_mio | root, hi | 00:05 |
| dios_mio | root, very creative nick lol | 00:05 |
| === root is now known as Guest34564 | ||
| benbloom | I think the problem has to do with how windows mounts filesystems. I'd recommend using a partition editor to remove the partition. I have no experience with vista, dual boot and very little with windows in general but from what I do know that's what I'd think. you want to wipe the partition clean and possible format it for use by vista yes? | 00:18 |

| dnyy | I just installed the kubuntu-desktop package and after I logged in my monitor blinks every 15 or so seconds. Could this be because my computer can't handle KDE or what? :/ | 00:56 |
| Dr_willis | kde shouldent affect the monitor/X settings.. | 00:58 |
| Dr_willis | it maybe the compositing effects.. try logging in with a different window manager and see if it still happens | 00:58 |
| dnyy | it wasn't blinking in xfce or gnome :/ | 00:58 |
| dnyy | even when i have compiz enabled in gnome it doesn't blink, it goes horribly slow but no monitor blinkin' | 00:59 |
| dnyy | I disabled all desktop effects, and it's still happening ;o | 01:05 |
| m4v | dnyy: i belive desde is a bug report about that, letme check | 01:06 |
| m4v | s/desde/there/ | 01:07 |
| dnyy | wut? ;x | 01:07 |
| m4v | that there's a bug report similar to your problem | 01:09 |
| m4v | dnyy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/278471 | 01:09 |
| m4v | check the comments, maybe there's one that can help | 01:09 |
| dnyy | ah, i was confused as to waht desde meant. but i looked it up | 01:09 |
| m4v | it was a typo | 01:10 |
| m4v | i meant there | 01:10 |

| bazhang | !version | smkajt | 03:53 |
| ubottu | smkajt: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 03:53 |
| smkajt | ubuntu 7.04 | 03:53 |

| smkajt | i was planning to install video files codec | 03:55 |
| smkajt | to watch movies | 03:55 |

| macjason0607 | anyone ever used nerolinux ? | 08:16 |
| _2 | pronoy_ sudo apt-get remove konqueror # and read the list of packages it will take with it. | 08:16 |
| pronoy_ | just 3 packages konqueror konqueror-plugin-searchbar kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts | 08:18 |
| _2 | ok then remove it if you like | 08:18 |

| macjason0607 | Konqueror just crashed .. do you guys want to look at logs ? | 08:24 |
| pronoy_ | macjason0607: i used nautilus......its unstable more unstable than konqueror and dolphin | 08:24 |
| macjason0607 | hmm. | 08:25 |

| _2 | on dapper i have tested with as many as five file manager/browsers at one time and multi-sessions of each of them. | 08:32 |
| _2 | but dapper is stable. | 08:32 |
| _2 | when you use bleeding edge, some times.... it bleeds | 08:32 |
| _2 | !worksforme | 08:33 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 08:33 |

| pronoy_ | _2: like ntfs configuration tool on gnome what tool is available on kde ? | 08:36 |
| _2 | !ntfs | 08:36 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 08:36 |
| _2 | pronoy_ probably better off to ask that as a general question rather than addressing me with it. i really don't know. | 08:37 |
| pronoy_ | !NTFS-3g | 08:37 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 08:37 |
| pronoy_ | _2: gotcha........thanks for the support till now | 08:38 |
| _2 | even though they are quiet there are a few others lurking even at this hour. | 08:38 |
| pronoy_ | !FUSE | 08:38 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 08:38 |

| Mamarok | nick_: could you ask a plain question? We would like to help but you should be more explicit on your problem :) | 09:03 |
| j3frea | nick_: if you have a question, just ask it... if someone awake can answer or try to answer s/he will... | 09:06 |
| nick_ | sorry, i am new. my other computer is running ubuntu 8.10, and the terminal screen went blank. | 09:06 |
| Mamarok | did you type Ctrl + l? | 09:07 |
| nick_ | as well as there are no borders or buttons to exit a window | 09:07 |
| j3frea | do you have compiz? | 09:07 |
| Mamarok | nick_: do you talk about Gnome or KDE? | 09:07 |
| nick_ | gnome and yes compiz | 09:07 |
| nick_ | ive tried removeing | 09:07 |
| nick_ | but useless | 09:08 |
| j3frea | nick_: this i the kubuntu channel just by the way... I don't know whether other people will get annoyed but I'll try to help... | 09:08 |
| j3frea | when compiz crashes, that's what happens | 09:08 |
| j3frea | try running "metacity --replace" | 09:08 |
| nick_ | well some apps like this one is also blank. so i am unable to read back | 09:08 |
| j3frea | open a new console and type "metacity --replace" | 09:09 |
| j3frea | that will make metacity draw your windows instead of compiz | 09:09 |
| nick_ | sorry.. logging in again | 09:10 |
| j3frea | that could also work... | 09:10 |
| nick_ | well thats been done.. also reinstalling the os | 09:11 |
| j3frea | what's been done? | 09:11 |
| j3frea | are you reinstalling right now? | 09:11 |
| nick_ | no no, just had a bad error with xubuntu.. and had to switch | 09:12 |
| j3frea | could you explain your problem more comprehensively please | 09:13 |
| nick_ | when i open the console, it is a blank white screen. so are areas where notifications should be | 09:14 |
| j3frea | in what window manager? and does that problem only happen to console? | 09:14 |
| nick_ | also the titlebar for any window has no buttons to close the window. | 09:15 |
| nick_ | balloon notifications thet pop up are also blank | 09:15 |
| j3frea | does anyone know of some sort of all powerful hotkey editor for kde4 ? I've got nice media keys on my dell inspiron 1525 laptop and they aren't very pro working at the moment... | 09:16 |
| j3frea | to the point that I'm considering kde3.5 again... argh | 09:16 |
| j3frea | nick_: you didn't answer my last two questions... Also, "is compiz running?" is my third question now | 09:17 |
| nick_ | yes compiz was running | 09:18 |
| nick_ | but i have removed it | 09:18 |
| j3frea | and what window manager are you in? Does it happen in all window managers? does it happen only to console and balloon tips? | 09:19 |
| nick_ | the window manager is in the one that is provided with the install i am not sure, i am new | 09:20 |
| nick_ | it seems it happens with pop up boxs | 09:20 |
| nick_ | boxes* | 09:21 |
| j3frea | okay, you said you were using xubuntu... But you also said you are using ubuntu... Which version are you using? | 09:21 |
| Ayabara | I don't have the msn protocol in kopete in kde 4.2b1. Is this a bug? | 09:21 |
| Salze_ | Hi. My global keys (like Alt-F2, Ctrl-F12) do not work since updating to KDE 4.2 beta 1. Is that a known issue? | 09:22 |
| nick_ | i was running ubuntu, then switch to xubuntu, then back to ubuntu. | 09:22 |
| j3frea | Salze_: my hotkeys didn't work since I moved to kde4 | 09:22 |
| j3frea | nick_: okay, then you're using gnome... | 09:22 |
| Salze_ | Up to 4.1.3 they worked. | 09:22 |
| j3frea | nick_: you should probably move to the #ubuntu channel | 09:22 |
| j3frea | Salze_ what keyboard do you have? | 09:23 |
| j3frea | I'm intrigued because I really want my media keys working... | 09:23 |
| Salze_ | I've got a notebook, Thinkpad X40. | 09:24 |
| j3frea | and did you keys work out of the box? | 09:25 |
| j3frea | I've got a dell inspiron 1525 | 09:25 |

| Mamarok | unix: there is a partition tool called qparted you can use for that | 10:04 |
| Mamarok | unix: read the man page first and be sure you do it right before starting | 10:04 |
| unix | ok | 10:04 |
| Mamarok | unix: you must know exactly which partition you are going to delete | 10:04 |
| unix | man qparted?? | 10:04 |
| unix | from sda1 to sd4 | 10:05 |

| easyfit | *through | 13:20 |
| easyfit | something similar to glsa-check on gentoo if anyone is familiar with that | 13:20 |

| ActionParsnip | !samba | Kiry | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Kiry: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 | 13:38 |
| dr_willis | Set up s 'shared' on the windows box .. using the windows tools/menus | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | You may want to edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf to be on the same workgroup as the windows box also.. makes things easier | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Kiry: if you want it mounted at boot you can use smbmount and it will appear as a local folder | 13:40 |
| Kiry | ah, I have one XP box that can be seen by the 'nix one, but not the other one | 13:40 |
| Kiry | Action, this! | 13:40 |
| Kiry | I recognize smbmount but don't remember how it was invoked :-/ | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Kiry: then you have a little project ;) | 13:41 |
| Kiry | aye | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | You need to have the samba server installed on the linux box.. if you want windows to access any shares on it.. | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | and of course - setup/defind some shares for windows to access | 13:46 |

| Mamarok | NielsE: of course not, it's not released yet :) | 13:58 |
| NielsE | Mamarok: I'm searching for the alpha, I've been on Ubuntu Intrepid since Alpha 1 so I know what I'm going into, but the kubuntu.com site is very unclear about the upcoming release | 13:58 |
| Mamarok | NielsE: check the CD image here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/jaunty/alpha-1/ | 14:00 |

| mikelima | Tm_T: well, then maybe it would be better to provide unpatched packages... | 15:02 |
| Tm_T | mikelima: are you sure they are patched? | 15:03 |
| mikelima | Well, some friend recompiled from source, and there is no problem with single click... | 15:03 |
| mikelima | And I've asked #kde-devel, they said single click is the default. | 15:03 |
| Tm_T | yes it is in plain KDE, but we are Debian derivative, you know (:) | 15:04 |

| SlimeyPete | lo | 16:45 |
| jon__ | hi i am running kubuntu 8.04. i cannot seet any window manager, i.e. no title bar for applications, no resizing moving etc. thnx | 16:45 |
| SlimeyPete | did you try to enable Compiz (Desktop Effects) or something? | 16:46 |
| jon__ | no in fact i just removed the packages for that | 16:46 |
| xray7224 | thats why | 16:46 |
| xray7224 | part of compiz is used for the windows manager | 16:47 |
| SlimeyPete | I suspect that kwin isn't running when you log in, but I'm afraid I can't remember which file you have to edit to re-enable it. | 16:47 |
| jon__ | ah k, i see | 16:47 |
| SlimeyPete | it'll be an xsession file or something like that I guess | 16:47 |
| jon__ | cant even cchange focus | 16:48 |
| jon__ | so what will the solution be? | 16:48 |
| jon__ | ah i just ran kwin and it all came back | 16:49 |
| jon__ | thx | 16:49 |
| jon__ | so what will be permanent solution? | 16:50 |
| jon__ | SlimeyPete so what is the permanent solution? sry just gt disconnected | 16:53 |
| SlimeyPete | jon__: you need to make it run on startup. I think you need to edit a file in /etc/X11, or possible in /usr/share somewhere | 16:53 |
| SlimeyPete | but I'm afraid I can't remember exactly which file, sorry | 16:54 |

| SlimeyPete | jon__: oh, note that you might have to add "exec startkde" too | 16:59 |
| SlimeyPete | jon__: but tbh this is a hack; you'd be better off googling/forum-ing to find out how to fix your default window manager | 16:59 |
| avb | afaik in order to use exec u need to use full path to an app | 16:59 |

| chalcedny | faichele i suspect he asked it and read it off the monitor... asking him | 19:40 |
| faichele | If you know how to get the case open... the manufacturer + model ID are usually found printed on the mainboard itself. | 19:41 |

| chalcedny | faichele i found the manual online, but not the codes, separately... are they in the pdf manual? | 20:08 |
| loganWHD | glade88: no | 20:08 |
| Magni | and going through the console givesme this E54 | 20:08 |
| Magni | of course | 20:08 |
| Mamarok | Magni: do you get error messages more explicit than just a number? | 20:09 |
| Magni | E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) | 20:09 |
| Magni | I get this | 20:09 |
| loganWHD | i have tried to install from adobe | 20:09 |
| Magni | no matter what install/upgrade I try to do | 20:09 |
| loganWHD | installed the non-free | 20:09 |
| loganWHD | konsole | 20:09 |
| loganWHD | synaptic | 20:09 |
| loganWHD | nada on all | 20:09 |
| Mamarok | Magni: ok, so you should edit your sources.list | 20:09 |
| Mamarok | and check if there is an error somewhere | 20:10 |
| Magni | alright, how do I do this | 20:10 |
| synaptix | did you restart firefox? I guess so? | 20:10 |
| Magni | and how do know what the error is | 20:10 |
| loganWHD | hehe | 20:10 |
| loganWHD | 1000x's | 20:10 |
| synaptix | eeks | 20:10 |
| Magni | just got on linux three weeks ago so noob | 20:10 |
| beba | Hi! | 20:10 |
| Mamarok | Magni: try it on the command line with the following command: | 20:10 |
| synaptix | you could try to put a symbolic link to it in your firefox installation's plugins directory | 20:10 |
| synaptix | then restart it | 20:11 |
| Mamarok | sudo kate /etc/apt/sources-list | 20:11 |
| chalcedny | Magni congratulations for taking the big step | 20:11 |
| faichele | These beep codes aren't usually documented by mb manufacturers themselves. | 20:11 |
| loganWHD | synaptix: not sure hwat that means? | 20:11 |
| faichele | They depend on the BIOS manufacturer's choice. | 20:11 |
| Magni | The file /etc/apt/sources-list could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it. | 20:11 |
| Magni | Check if you have read access to this file. | 20:11 |
| chalcedny | ahhh | 20:11 |
| Mamarok | Magni: you can then copy-past your file in http://past.ubuntu.com and send the link here | 20:12 |
| chalcedny | faichele the bios chip has numbers etc .. want that? | 20:12 |
| synaptix | sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ | 20:12 |
| synaptix | and restart firefox? | 20:12 |
| Mamarok | Magni: hm, did you erase it? | 20:12 |
| Magni | i can't open it | 20:12 |
| Magni | only get errors | 20:12 |
| faichele | What's printed on it? | 20:12 |
| beba | !list | 20:12 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 20:12 |
| chalcedny | Mamarok did you mean: http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 20:13 |
| loganWHD | synaptix: that didnt do anything | 20:13 |
| synaptix | (make sure you really exit it, and the download window, might want to killall -9 firefox-bin a couple of times after you think it's shut down, too) | 20:13 |
| Magni | Mamarok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/82619/ | 20:14 |
| Mamarok | Magni: looks like your file is broken, can you give me the output of ls -a /etc/apt/ in pastebin please? | 20:14 |
| KennethP | I just installed latest Kopete with KDE 4.2beta1. Looks like there is no support for the MSN protocol in this version. Is this a known error or just me fooling around? | 20:15 |
| glade88 | loganWHD: what does "dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree" give you. If this is installed, this must show under addons->plugins | 20:15 |
| Mamarok | chalcedny: yes, that's what I meant , thx for correcting | 20:15 |
| synaptix | what do you get when you do: ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so | 20:15 |
| chalcedny | Mamarok np | 20:15 |
| synaptix | @ loganWHD: | 20:16 |
| synaptix | what do you get when you do: ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so | 20:16 |
| Mamarok | Magni: ls -la I mean (should read before I send things, not my day) | 20:16 |
| loganWHD | let me check | 20:16 |
| loganWHD | doing the first thing | 20:16 |
| synaptix | also, did you copy an old firefox folder in? It might be that it can't write to the plugin registry deely.... | 20:17 |
| loganWHD | hrm | 20:17 |
| Magni | mamarok: wait, what do I type? | 20:17 |
| loganWHD | i might have done that but i dont think so | 20:17 |
| Magni | la -a /etc/apt/ | 20:17 |
| loganWHD | but i did do a back up | 20:17 |
| little | faichele: It | 20:17 |
| loganWHD | and then restore it i think | 20:17 |
| synaptix | ok, can you do these things for me: | 20:17 |
| loganWHD | you mean permissions wise? | 20:17 |
| Magni | in console | 20:17 |
| Magni | ? | 20:17 |
| little | faichele: It's an AMI bios: http://www.motherboards.org/mobot/manuals/Gigabyte/GA-7VTXE/ | 20:17 |
| synaptix | firstly, we clean up the file you created earlier: | 20:17 |
| Mamarok | Magni: ls -la /etc/apt/ | 20:17 |
| Mamarok | in console, yes | 20:18 |
| loganWHD | i uninstalled then tried to do a install of nonfree | 20:18 |
| chalcedny | i'm moving from this laptop to my own computer.. | 20:18 |
| loganWHD | and got | 20:18 |
| synaptix | sudo rm /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 20:18 |
| loganWHD | download failed | 20:18 |
| loganWHD | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 20:18 |
| Magni | mamrok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/82621/ | 20:18 |
| synaptix | ok, well do that ^, then try to reinstall flash. | 20:18 |
| Magni | thnx for the help btw | 20:18 |
| loganWHD | ok synaptix that is done | 20:18 |
| faichele | http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/post-beep-codes.htm | 20:19 |
| synaptix | and while flash installs, let's check the perms on that firefox folder | 20:19 |
| faichele | AMI BIOS codes don't seem to make a difference with long/short... | 20:19 |
| synaptix | ls -la ~/.mozilla | 20:19 |
| faichele | Just number of beeps relevant, and 5 is a bad sign in that case. | 20:19 |
| synaptix | pop the output on pastebin | 20:19 |
| faichele | 5 Beeps - Processor Error (may need replacement Processor) | 20:20 |
| Mamarok | Magni: it looks correct so far | 20:20 |
| Mamarok | Magni: does the following command produce something: | 20:20 |
| onur_ | can anybody help me | 20:20 |
| Mamarok | less /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:20 |
| loganWHD | synaptix: you want me to do | 20:21 |
| loganWHD | apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:21 |
| Mamarok | onur_: ask your question | 20:21 |
| synaptix | ls -la ~/.mozilla | 20:21 |
| synaptix | sorry | 20:21 |
| synaptix | yes | 20:21 |
| Magni | mamarok: http://paste.ubuntu.com/82623/ | 20:21 |
| Ch1ppy | hey, I'm having an issue where amarok freezes when I'm away from my computer, then won't start when I kill it and try to start it again. It will start if I reboot, but that's a lame solution. Can anyone help me out? | 20:22 |
| Mamarok | Magni: it looks ok, very strange that you can't edit it | 20:23 |
| Mamarok | what was the error you had when trying to edit it with kate? | 20:24 |
| loganWHD | synaptix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/82627/ | 20:24 |
| synaptix | aha! | 20:24 |
| synaptix | :) | 20:24 |
| loganWHD | flash installed | 20:25 |
| Magni | Mamarok: | 20:25 |
| Magni | [21:11] <Magni> The file /etc/apt/sources-list could not be loaded, as it was not possible to read from it. | 20:25 |
| Magni | [21:11] <Magni> Check if you have read access to this file. | 20:25 |
| synaptix | firefox can't register the plugin | 20:25 |
| synaptix | do this: | 20:25 |
| loganWHD | ok | 20:25 |
| Mamarok | Magni: you did use the sudo command, didn't you? | 20:25 |
| Magni | yup | 20:25 |
| Mamarok | then entered your password? | 20:25 |
| Magni | always, first thing i learned | 20:25 |
| Magni | ill retry if you think that's what it is | 20:26 |
| Mamarok | very strange... | 20:26 |
| synaptix | sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername ~/.mozilla | 20:26 |
| KennethP | I just installed Kopete 4:4.1.80-0 with KDE 4.2beta1. Looks like there is no support for the MSN protocol in this version. Is this a known error or just me fooling around? The boys over at #kopete suggest to contact you guys and mention missing "libmsn". Any ideas? | 20:26 |
| synaptix | change the usernames :) | 20:26 |
| Mamarok | ok, I think I found the error: | 20:26 |
| synaptix | to your own, heh | 20:26 |
| Mamarok | Magni: I think your sources.list is written sources-list, that's wrong! | 20:26 |
| * Mamarok wonders how that could happen | 20:26 | |
| synaptix | close firefox | 20:26 |
| loganWHD | closed | 20:27 |
| loganWHD | although i am in as root | 20:27 |
| loganWHD | right now | 20:27 |
| Magni | so how do I fix it? | 20:27 |
| keymone | does anybody have performance issues with nvidia and kde 4.1? | 20:27 |
| Magni | do I just rename the file in dolphin | 20:27 |
| synaptix | you are in as root? | 20:28 |
| loganWHD | si | 20:28 |
| synaptix | you're not running firefox as root? | 20:28 |
| synaptix | ! | 20:28 |
| loganWHD | im not? | 20:28 |
| Mamarok | Magni: no, it seems correct form your ls -la output | 20:28 |
| Mamarok | still strange you cant edit it | 20:28 |
| Ch1ppy | KennethP: libmsn and associated msn support is missing in the current beta, yes. It's mentioned in the notes @ kubuntu.org. | 20:28 |
| Mamarok | Magni: try the following: | 20:29 |
| Mamarok | Magni: sudo chown root /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:29 |
| macjason0607 | guys | 20:29 |
| synaptix | Your main user account shouldn't be root | 20:29 |
| KennethP | Ch1ppy: Ahhh, I actually snooped around there also, but must need stronger glasses...;-) Thanks for the heads up! | 20:29 |
| little | That leaves me out... (: | 20:29 |
| synaptix | The one you run your desktop as | 20:30 |
| Magni | Mamarok: is anything visible supposed to happen? cause I got nothing | 20:30 |
| Mamarok | Magni: that's ok | 20:30 |
| synaptix | I mean the mind boggles at how vulnerable you are if you're IRCing and web browsing as root | 20:30 |
| Mamarok | Magni: if there was an error it would say it | 20:30 |
| Magni | ok | 20:30 |
| loganWHD | not that vulnerable | 20:30 |
| Mamarok | Magni: try again sudo apt-get update | 20:30 |
| loganWHD | i saw you tried to get my user info | 20:31 |
| loganWHD | but that is hidden | 20:31 |
| synaptix | tried to? | 20:31 |
| loganWHD | in irc | 20:31 |
| synaptix | I looked to see if you are root@hostname | 20:31 |
| loganWHD | of course i am not | 20:31 |
| Magni | Mamarok: same error: E: Malformed line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) | 20:31 |
| synaptix | right, and presumably you're not running firefox as root, but as your user account? | 20:31 |
| synaptix | the user that should own your firefox directory is the user you run firefox as | 20:32 |
| synaptix | your ~/.mozilla/.firefox directory :) | 20:32 |
| Mamarok | Magni: could you give me the last lines you get with less /etc/apt/sources.list? | 20:32 |
| Mamarok | it seems cut in the last pastbin you sent | 20:32 |
| Magni | ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'backports' | 20:33 |
| Magni | ## repository. | 20:33 |
| Magni | ## N.B. software from this repository may not have been tested as | 20:33 |
| Magni | ## extensively as that contained in the main release, although it includes | 20:33 |
| Magni | /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:33 |
| loganWHD | i am not sure why the kubuntu/ubuntu community is so uptight abotu running as root | 20:33 |
| dr_willis | Magni, the line to look at would be like 54 :) | 20:33 |
| Magni | YES | 20:33 |
| Mamarok | Magni: hm, you have /etc/apt/sources.list as last line? | 20:33 |
| dr_willis | loganWHD, security is a 'process' and its all about layers of security. | 20:33 |
| synaptix | only idiots run large gui apps as root and wander around the web with them | 20:33 |
| synaptix | if you know better than everyone else that's fine, and good luck to you :) | 20:34 |
| Mamarok | Magni: you didn't press the space bar, there are more lines | 20:34 |
| Mamarok | try again | 20:34 |
| Magni | Mamarok, it's alright, I opened sources.list with Dolphin, and removed the source I had last added | 20:34 |
| Magni | it's working now | 20:34 |
| loganWHD | i am not saying i know better than everyone else | 20:34 |
| synaptix | I mean you're running *javascript* as root :) | 20:34 |
| Mamarok | Magni: great :) | 20:34 |
| loganWHD | but htere are other ways to protect yourself | 20:34 |
| loganWHD | besides locking yourself out of oyur system | 20:35 |
| Magni | Mamarok: thanks :), g2g eat now see ya everyone | 20:35 |
| loganWHD | and obviously i am NOT running javascript as root | 20:35 |
| loganWHD | since it wont work | 20:35 |
| loganWHD | :) | 20:35 |
| synaptix | well you see every single vulnerability in every piece of software becomes a showstopper | 20:35 |
| dr_willis | Layers upon layers.. and i dont feel the ubuntu way 'locks youself out' | 20:35 |
| Mamarok | Magni: you're welcome :) | 20:35 |
| dr_willis | If you dont like it.. disable it. | 20:35 |
| synaptix | if you are running firefox as root, you *are* running javascript as root. | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | Ch1ppy: Got help? | 20:35 |
| Ch1ppy | DaSkreech: Nope :( | 20:36 |
| synaptix | so a simple bad piece of javascript that would ordinarily lock a tab, can take your whole system down :) | 20:36 |
| loganWHD | and that can't happen in another user??? | 20:36 |
| DaSkreech | KennethP: There is no MSN it said that on the instructions | 20:36 |
| DaSkreech | macjason0607: Sup? | 20:36 |
| synaptix | obviously not. | 20:36 |
| loganWHD | ok | 20:37 |
| DaSkreech | loganWHD: Cause that's the policy I guess. | 20:37 |
| loganWHD | yah | 20:37 |
| loganWHD | well i guess that is a risk i am willing to take | 20:37 |
| dr_willis | Theres 'secure' theres 'paranoid' and then theres 'TinFoilHat Paranoid' | 20:38 |
| synaptix | indeed. Go for it. | 20:38 |
| dr_willis | I see no reason to ever run a browser as root... | 20:38 |
| loganWHD | true | 20:38 |
| dr_willis | or most apps.. | 20:38 |
| DaSkreech | Ch1ppy: What causes it to freeze? | 20:38 |
| synaptix | running a web browser as root is especially asking for it. | 20:38 |
| dr_willis | and running the gnome or kde file manager.. can also cause problems. | 20:38 |
| DaSkreech | loganWHD: It's a silly risk :) | 20:38 |
| loganWHD | well i was looking to get something working not an ethics discussion | 20:38 |
| loganWHD | sorry for upsetting you all | 20:39 |
| synaptix | just because there are so many bugs, and so many pages, and so many people who are actively out to exploit you, or who are unintentionally triggering problems. | 20:39 |
| DaSkreech | loganWHD: What are you trying to do? | 20:39 |
| synaptix | it's not ethics, at all :) | 20:39 |
| little | loganWHD: How are you installing Firefox? | 20:39 |
| loganWHD | installed | 20:39 |
| loganWHD | can't get javascript to run in ff | 20:39 |
| Ch1ppy | DaSkreech: I haven't the faintest clue. It freezes while I'm away and it's paused. I checked dmesg, but nothing comes up and there is no output when I run it from console, so I have no way to check... | 20:39 |
| little | loganWHD: How did you install it? | 20:39 |
| DaSkreech | Amarok 1.4 ? | 20:39 |
| loganWHD | i believe it was a download | 20:39 |
| synaptix | I thought it was flash you couldn't get to run, loganWHD? | 20:39 |
| Ch1ppy | DaSkreech: Yep | 20:39 |
| loganWHD | flash yes | 20:39 |
| loganWHD | sorry | 20:39 |
| loganWHD | i got turned around | 20:40 |
| little | loganWHD: From the Mozilla webpage? | 20:40 |
| loganWHD | little: yes | 20:40 |
| DaSkreech | loganWHD: try apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:40 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. flash works for me in the normal firefox/install of kubuntu/ubuntu.. perhaps we need to start at the beginning with the original propblem | 20:40 |
| little | locanWHD: You might want to try uninstalling it (yet again) and installing it again, but this time use the package manager to install it. | 20:40 |
| synaptix | anyway, I'm going to advise against the whole silly business of running firefox as root, and I'm not going to facilitate it at all :) | 20:40 |
| loganWHD | yep yep tried that 100 times | 20:40 |
| hersoy | !turkish | 20:40 |
| ubottu | Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. | 20:40 |
| synaptix | Good luck with your problem :) | 20:40 |
| loganWHD | ok | 20:40 |
| DaSkreech | loganWHD: What did taht do? (You did it with Firefox closed right?) | 20:40 |
| KennethP | DaSkreech: Tnx - I'll go find my glasses... | 20:41 |
| DaSkreech | KennethP: You drastically needed MSN? | 20:41 |
| loganWHD | nada it didnt work | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | and yes ff was closed | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | i will uninstall it all | 20:42 |
| DaSkreech | loganWHD: Error? | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | no error | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | just wont play flash | 20:42 |
| DaSkreech | what site? | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | i will try a reinstall again | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | pick one | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | youtube | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | any | 20:42 |
| little | loganWHD: This time use the package manager to install Firefox and see if that helps. | 20:42 |
| loganWHD | i am almost done uninstalling | 20:43 |
| loganWHD | i will then apt-get it | 20:43 |
| === vonkleist_ is now known as vonkleist | ||
| loganWHD | nada | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | uninstall | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | apt-get it | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | ff works | 20:45 |
| little | loganWHD: Before you reinstall Flash, do you have a .macromedia directory in your home directory? | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | then i apt-get flash and get this | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | download failed | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 20:45 |
| loganWHD | let me check | 20:45 |
| * Mamarok is afk | 20:45 | |
| loganWHD | yes i do | 20:45 |
| little | loganWHD: You might want to try uninstalling Flash, moving that directory somewhere else if it still exists afterward and then reinstalling Flash. | 20:46 |
| loganWHD | ok | 20:46 |
| little | loganWHD: If that works, then you can delete the moved directory. | 20:46 |
| little | I'm dead curious what could be causing this. Firefox and Flash should work "out of the box". I'm thinking something else is behind this. | 20:47 |
| loganWHD | ok moved | 20:47 |
| loganWHD | now gonna reinstall | 20:47 |
| * little crosses fingers | 20:47 | |

| DaSkreech | which version of Kubuntu are you on? | 20:50 |
| loganWHD | bbl | 20:51 |
| Ch1ppy | DaSkreech: I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but I had two runaway "kded" processes that seemed to be causing the problem. I killed both of them and amarok starts properly now. However, I'm having an issue with the status icons - they're opening in their own window. How do I fix that? | 20:56 |
| dr_willis | Gee - all i ever do to get flash going is install the 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' package... | 20:56 |

| Mamarok | true, didn't think of that one | 21:30 |

| EagleScreen | I cannot change the size of Adept 3 fonts | 21:31 |

| JuJuBee | I am having trouble burning some ISO's of movies. Some burn fine and play fine. Others burn, but won't play in my dvd player. | 21:32 |
| fale | DaSkreech: do you have some ideas? | 21:32 |
| DaSkreech | fale: try kubuntu-desktop instead? | 21:33 |
| dr_willis | JuJuBee, try playing the iso files from the hd with vlc or mplayer, as a test of gthe iso file | 21:33 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: I did and it played fine. | 21:34 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis : i burned it twice and both wont play in my player | 21:34 |
| dr_willis | how were the isos made? | 21:34 |
| JuJuBee | I downloaded a movie, dvd-decrypter/shrink and burned an iso with k3b. | 21:35 |
| fale | DaSkreech: is already at the last version | 21:35 |
| EagleScreen | I think that there is no way to change the font size of some KDE applications in Kubuntu 8.10 | 21:36 |
| EagleScreen | for instance, Adept, gdebi-kde... | 21:36 |
| fale | DaSkreech: ok, an apt-get -f install found all the libs ;) | 21:36 |
| DaSkreech | fale: Umm ok so what are you installin then? | 21:36 |
| fale | DaSkreech: now is installing the kdelibs5 that before was not finding -_- | 21:37 |
| DaSkreech | EagleScreen: If they are X/Qt apps I think there is always a way just may be more command lineish than you are used to | 21:37 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis : any ideas? | 21:37 |
| dr_willis | JuJuBee, i tend to use DeVeDe to convert vidoes to dvd format | 21:37 |
| JuJuBee | K, I will look for it. | 21:38 |
| EagleScreen | DaSkreech i think that is because they are running as root, and root preferences are separed | 21:39 |
| dr_willis | Yes.. apps ran by the root user.. will use th root users settings/themes if possible | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | Ive often set up the root user to use BRIGHT RED colors/themes to make sure i know what apps are getting ran as root | 21:41 |
| sourcemaker | are you using kde 4.2 b1? | 21:43 |

| bob_ | DaSkreech: http://pastebin.com/d3cdba0b6 | 23:39 |

| ubuntu__ | Assume I'm a newbie: I enter the host name, my name, etc, and commit to changes. | 23:41 |
| ubuntu__ | after the hard drive's current partition is destroyed, it up and gives up, freezeing the machine 'till I hit power. | 23:42 |
| goetz | dr_willis: hmm, that is straing. So I have dont have to install anything? But in ubuntu I remember there came a dialok saying to install something for linux and windows networks | 23:42 |
| ubuntu__ | Same problem with both the 8.10 and 8.06 discs. | 23:42 |
| bob_ | DaSkreech: Ahh, I think I get it | 23:43 |
| dr_willis | goetz, last i looked. to set up a SHARE on the ubuntu box.. It will ask/install the samba packages.. to just VIEW the shares on a remote box.. it did not need to install anything. | 23:43 |
| DaSkreech | bob_: you need to change the UUID to the one you have for sdb1 and make sure the caps for /mnt/windowsdrive is the smae as yours | 23:44 |
| bob_ | ook.. | 23:44 |
| ubuntu__ | I have this cousen, he has two machines with vista... he was compareing his shiny vista-running laptop to this decade old one I had with kubuntu... | 23:44 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu__: Hmm run it from the command line and see if it spits any errors | 23:44 |
| ubuntu__ | I just laughed and said "do you know how fast that would go if it didn't have one leg behind it's back? | 23:45 |
| ubuntu__ | or something less eloquent to that effect. | 23:45 |
| goetz | dr_willis: thanks for you help, I will search in the web more to see what could be, maybe a bug.. | 23:45 |
| ubuntu__ | wait, what do I run from the command line? | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | goetz, check the /etc/smb.conf - be sure you are in the same workgroups | 23:46 |
| ubuntu__ | "Install kubuntu" | 23:46 |
| ubuntu__ | ? | 23:46 |
| * dr_willis missed ubuntu__ 's original question | 23:46 | |
| ubuntu__ | Oh, its just that I keep trying to install kubuntu 8.10 or 8.06 on this machine, and whenever I commit changes to the hard drive, it freezes. | 23:47 |
| goetz | dr_willis: good idea! btw, it is /etc/samba/smb.conf the folder :) | 23:47 |
| bob_ | DaSkreech: do i need anything under defaults? | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | /etc/samba/ directory... smb.conf the config file | 23:47 |
| ubuntu__ | sort of a pain considereing that on the first try, it whiped out the other system (grub gives me "error 17" and hangs) | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu__, is linux going to be the only OS on the thing? | 23:48 |
| goetz | dr_willis: It is in WORKGROUP but it my case it should be MSHOME I think, thanks, maybe that is the problem | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | goetz, Yep.. been there, done that... | 23:48 |
| ubuntu__ | Yeah. It was before-I was useing 8.06, but the package list became cruftier and cruftier. | 23:49 |
| genii | 8.06? | 23:49 |
| macjason0607 | besides devde what app is good for converting a avi to a mpeg | 23:49 |
| goetz | dr_willis: Is there a GUI to change the workgroup in Kubuntu/KDE? and not with the config file? | 23:49 |
| dr_willis | goetz, no idea.. by the time i would look for a gui. I would have th file edited and saved | 23:50 |
| ubuntu__ | I think this kind of thing is reason eneough to just learn perl and hack the #$% together yourself. | 23:50 |
| Dougwiser | I use tovid to decode and burn video | 23:50 |
| genii | !info system-config-samba | 23:51 |
| ubottu | system-config-samba (source: system-config-samba): GUI for managing samba shares and users. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (intrepid), package size 568 kB, installed size 5860 kB | 23:51 |
| ubuntu__ | Know what would be funny? An entire distro where everything except the kernel is written in intercal. | 23:51 |
| ubuntu__ | With source & docs included. | 23:51 |
| * genii suddenly worries that Hurd is written in intercal! | 23:52 | |
| ubuntu__ | With the amount of time it's taken, I sometimes think there is a paper-and-pencil turing machine that they are programing in brainfunk, and thats the glorious free software kernel. | 23:53 |
| DaSkreech | bob_: defaults :) | 23:53 |
| bob_ | DaSkreech: lol OK | 23:54 |
| ubuntu__ | Was it dumb to try to start fresh with a newer version rather then seeking help for the flakeyness of the old setup? | 23:54 |
| bob_ | DaSkreech: do i put None or leave blank? | 23:54 |
| DaSkreech | just put the word defaults | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu__ you may want to try the alternative installer cd.. it almos sounds like a hardware issue with the drive howeer. | 23:55 |
| tarvid | Kubuntu Intrepid boots to kernel panic after upgrade | 23:55 |
| ubuntu__ | I would think so-except it worked just fine the old way. | 23:55 |
| bob_ | DaSkreech: nice - then 0 0 | 23:55 |
| DaSkreech | sure | 23:55 |
| ubuntu__ | I though it might be shakeing, so I put additionsl screws in. | 23:56 |
| ubuntu__ | *additional | 23:56 |
| tarvid | Kubuntu Intrepid boot to recovery stumbles but doesn't boot. | 23:56 |
| bob_ | DaSkreech: outstanding - guess i'll have to reboot to test | 23:56 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu__, check the cables for cut wires/loose connections also.. and dust out the box. :P) while you are at it... | 23:56 |
| tarvid | Fresh install along side boots fine and old sda5 partition mounts. | 23:56 |
| jpds | 3~ | 23:56 |
| ubuntu__ | I had it open a short while ago to check that kinda thing. Its fine. | 23:56 |
| tarvid | Any wizardry that might heal the boot logic on sda5 | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | I had an ide cable with a LITTLE bitty cut.. from a sharp edge on the case.. that cut one wire at the edge... | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | took me forever to find that. | 23:57 |
| ubuntu__ | I have an old IDE drive (with a vintage win 98 system on it) that I could fine. | 23:57 |
| ubuntu__ | *find | 23:57 |
| ubuntu__ | This HD, however, has a SATA cable with thick, brightly covered insulation. I checked it. | 23:57 |
| DaSkreech | bob_: no | 23:57 |
| DaSkreech | you can do a sudo mount -a | 23:57 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu__, so its an ide+sata drives in the box.. Try as a test.. unplugging the ide.? | 23:58 |
| ubuntu__ | I'm wondering about the fundimental idea of kubuntu | 23:58 |
| ubuntu__ | why have special kde programs? Can't we all just write portable programs? | 23:58 |
| DaSkreech | ubuntu__: Like xclock? | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | 'portable programs' have been tried again and again over the years.. and never takes off. | 23:58 |
| goetz | Which is the normal transfer rate of a home network? With the commun cabels and switch. | 23:59 |
| dr_willis | I seem to recall a 'java os' ages ago. | 23:59 |
| ubuntu__ | Firefox. | 23:59 |
| ubuntu__ | Amarok. | 23:59 |
| ubuntu__ | Openoffice | 23:59 |
| dr_willis | for most of those - it boils down to what 'widget set/libs' the programer perfers | 23:59 |
