[00:01] did you change your os at some point? [00:01] hi [00:01] there is a file I am searching for [00:01] this file defines my documents location to be in ~/Documents/ [00:02] this affects for example kwrite [00:02] when I want to save a file, it opens ~/Documents/ by default [00:02] it should open ~/ by default [00:04] bashbin: do you mean the button in the file dialog? [00:04] tyfon, no? [00:04] do you have a mac? [00:05] no *g* [00:05] ;) [00:05] a toshiba laptop [00:05] then you have windows probably [00:05] yep, Windows 8.04 [00:05] ;) [00:05] oh it came preinstalled with that? [00:05] erm [00:05] tyfon, no I installed it by myself [00:05] rofl [00:05] sorry [00:05] i thought i was talking to skole :p [00:06] tyfon :) [00:06] tyfon, please open kwrite [00:06] ALT+F2 -> kwrite [00:06] CTRL + S to save it [00:06] the default location to be displayed in the "Save Dialoque" is ~/Documents [00:06] this also effects many other programs [00:06] hmm [00:10] tyfon, bye bye :) thx!

[00:13] A friend of mine is trying to setup a smtp account in kmail and it is not working [00:13] when she hits OK, the account is not added [00:13] I just tried with a different user in the same host and it does work for me [00:14] what can I do? === adam is now known as Adola [00:20] Is there any version of Skype on Kubuntu Linux that we can use? and which one is recommended? [00:23] You wanting voice chats? [00:23] no, just a response to my query [00:23] Kopete supports webcam. But, I'm pretty sure there is a "Skype" for Kubuntu. [00:24] oh, interesting. Is it provided in the default bundled package? [00:24] or is it separately downloadable? [00:25] No, Skype is not open source. You should be able to find it in the medibuntu repository. [00:25] !medibuntu | nmk [00:25] nmk: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:29] talk 'where does the medibuntu repository reside' [00:30] nmk: Hm?

[00:32] nmk: If you visit the URL provided above it gives instructions on how to add the repository from there into your ubuntu system [00:32] You have to add the deb://whateveritis to your sources.

[00:42] its still fasttttttttttttttt [00:42] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [00:42] Yeah, which is how it should be. [00:43] they delay should be able to be longer [00:43] i type double letters at times [00:43] File a bug then. [00:43] You can set the delay longer. [00:43] Or look at the existing bugs to see if it was fixed for newer KDE releases.

Do they work okay together? Is it okay to mix and match (nvidia and ati cards in one box), etc? [01:07] Yes, multi GPU's work great. It's a cheap way to do soemthing good. [01:07] korn: You want to know what the .d part of init.d means for instance? [01:07] And, NO, You can't mix ATi and nVidia. [01:08] Adola: Perfect. Thanks [01:08] * Firefishe is Trying out Kubuntu 8.10, KDE 4.1 live cd on Asus G50V-X1. Sees my wireless, sound is good, dns lookup and web page loading is fast on both firefox 3 (installed from repositories via synaptic) and konqueror. [01:08] nVidia's solution to multi GPU's are SLi and ATi's is Crossfire. [01:08] Adola: Oh, sorry. Not quite what I meant [01:08] Adola: What I want to do is have them independent [01:08] Any reason to not install over debian lenny 64bit kernel? [01:09] Ch1ppy: ATi's crossfire is a little more forgiving with different type of Crossfire able cards. [01:09] Two sets of dual GPU'S in one box?!?!? [01:09] Adola: no no [01:09] Ch1ppy: I have in one box here an 8800 gts and an ati 1650 in different slots, nothings exploded yet except my brain [01:09] Adola: I'd like to have two graphics cards not hooked together via SLi or the like [01:09] Adola...old news. Go to www.sager.com, and look for at some of their higher-end models. [01:09] blast... [01:09] Adola: www.sagernotebook.com [01:09] sorry there [01:10] genii: yes, that is correct [01:10] Crossfire is old news?!?!!? IT"S THE WAVEEEEEEEEE [01:10] genii: Okay, that's perfect. Thanks :) [01:10] korn: It means "daemon" [01:10] is it possible to have amarok 2 on kde 3.5 [01:10] Which nvidia driver should I use to get the most out of my Nvidia 9700M GT 512mb chipset in my Asus G50V? [01:11] genji: may I ask why do you or...HOW do you....Need/want/use two different video cards not working togheter. [01:11] genii: thanks, does it have a special handling mechanism in ubuntu [01:11] !amarok [01:11] Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [01:11] szrhawaii: yes it is. [01:11] how do i manage that [01:12] Adola: I want to do the same thing. I'll need it for screen #3, because I'm that hardcore :) [01:12] korn: update-rc.d will set what daemons run at what runlevels of the machine. [01:13] korn: But generally if you call a script in /etc/init.d for instance, you give it some argument like stop/start/restart or so which tells it what to do [01:13] adola how do i do that [01:13] yeah, that's pretty hardcore BUT in CPU's magazine this month..They did a 14 monitor computereee [01:14] Adola: I said I was hardcore. Not crazy. [01:14] AmaroK 2 is just now in AmaroK 2 RC1 [01:14] AHAHAH, yeah! [01:15] szrhawaii: which means. It's NOT out in official supported respreieriories just yet. [01:15] do i need to add anymore files besides the standard amarok file [01:15] BUT, you can get it using nightly. [01:15] do you have the place to get the unofficial repos [01:15] Yeah, let me look. [01:15] k [01:16] Wait, can someone tell me where the list of repo's is? [01:16] speaking of Amarok, has anyone else had a problem with amarok responding slowly to pause/stop/play/volume commands? [01:16] i'll adjust the volume, but the sound continues at the same level for about 5 seconds [01:17] maybe its your sound driver [01:17] Gaelan : No, but I can't get it to speak with Kopete. [01:17] They have a section on lagg and hangups in the FAQ of AmaroK's webpage [01:17] thanks, i'll check there [01:18] Where is your repo list? [01:18] I mean, where is THE repo list? [01:18] i guess no one knows [01:18] Adola: /etc/apt/sources.list [01:18] Thansk! [01:19] Just because no one answers immediately doesn't mean you won't get an answer after a little while [01:19] I know. But..Nevermind thanks. [01:19] <[vedder]> Hi all! [01:20] has anyone tried this repo [01:20] http://amarok.kde.org/de/node/485 [01:20] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/kubuntu intrepid main [01:20] genii: thanks, are all the daemons in init.d run at Ubuntu start-up (by default)? [01:20] But, yours would be your distro. [01:21] Just copy all that into sources and change intrepid [01:21] <[vedder]> Iḿ a newbie on Linux and just got Kubuntu 8.10 up and running. But my X restarts sometimes. Anyone knows a way to sort out whatss causing this? [01:21] korn: Yes [01:22] well i found the hardy repo and that looks the same as your intrepid repo [01:22] ok bye === ubuntu is now known as Firefishe === jennifer is now known as jenlovesmi [01:27] korn: look in /etc/rc2.d you can see all that stars in the default runlevel (2) [01:28] all that are prefixed with an S and those with K will stop at that runlevel (0 is shutdown and 6 is reboot.. 1 is singleuser mode) [01:29] /etc/rc0.d would be for runlevel 0 and /etc/rc1.d for level 1 etc [01:29] genii and tyfon: thanks, what are the run-levels? [01:30] as in, how many are there? [01:30] korn: runlevels are the state of the machine. In ubuntu 2,3,4 and 5 are multi-user runlevels (identical) [01:30] those 4 basically.. [01:30] and yes like genii sais [01:30] korn: 6 plus 0 is 7 runlevels altogether [01:30] ubuntu starts default in runlevel 2 [01:30] korn: 0 is halt, 1 is single-use and 6 is reboot [01:31] to switch runlevel you can use telinit... typing sudo telinit 0 will halt your machine and sudo telinit 6 will reboot [01:34] genii and tyfon: thanks, but would single-user mode (Level 1) throw out all other users logged on the machine [01:34] korn: Yes [01:34] yes and shut down all the daemons and X [01:34] its for system maintnance [01:36] if you add single to the kernel boot command line you will boot straight into single user mode.. nice if you messed up something and need to fix it :) [01:36] is there a littel app i can use to tesat my mike? [01:36] ok test my mike === root is now known as Guest65796 [01:40] ok [01:47] genii and tyfon: thanks about the run-levels. What about testing the number of networking sockets being used. Is there an easy way to do that in Ubuntu? [01:47] for example, the number of ports, for now, would be sufficient? [01:48] korn: netstat has some useful options. Although I actually don't use it much enough to guide you in the usage [01:51] I'm currently testing the live cd version of Kubuntu 8.10, KDE 4.1, on an Asus G50V-X1 laptop (Intel T5750 CPU, Nvidia 9700M GT GPU. Is there any specific reason to upgrade to the 64bit variety over the 32 bit variety? [01:54] Firefishe: Some speed increase, recognition of large ram size. [01:55] Firefishe: Many apps are natively 32 bit however so you'd have to run them by installing the 32 bit libraries into your 64 bit version anyhow [01:58] genii: [01:58] ;) [01:58] Firefishe: Yes ? [01:58] genii: I've got exactly 4GB of ram, and this is a laptop, not a server. [01:59] Firefishe: With 32 bit you'll see about 3.2G of it. [01:59] genii: that's it, eh? [01:59] is putting in a PAE kernel worth the trouble? [02:00] Firefishe: Probably not since you have to mess with it every time theres a kernel update [02:01] Firefishe: Suggest either to install 64bit with package ia32-libs to run the 32 bit apps, or else just stock 32bit system which runs everything usually out of box [02:03] genii: I have the 32-bit cd, and so far, everything's working (have to test the ethernet port) and 4.1 looks great. To install kde 3.5.x, I just load the kde-desktop, don't I? [02:04] Firefishe: kde 3 is no longer supplied or supported after 8.04 [02:05] Firefishe: The package kubuntu-desktop in later versions than this just install kde4 versions [02:07] genii: I'm already sold on 4.1.x now anyway. It looks great, feels great, is a ton faster, and is nicely integrated. Just one minor itch, personal to me: Is there any way to make the transparent? I need more contrast on the clock applete (widget, whatevah). [02:07] I'm still learning the new names. [02:08] Firefishe: I'm still currently using kde3 as main desktop so don't know offhand [02:10] genii: no probs. I tried 4.0 out a while ago, and it was too buggy for me. This is much nicer. [02:10] Firefishe: currently you have to use a theme that is more transparent. I believe slim-glow is installed by default [02:10] right-click desktop -> desktop settings [02:10] then at the bottom of the dialog there should be a widget theme selector === erik_ is now known as Guest4698 [02:15] !k3b [02:15] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME).
