I'm trying to use the Remote Desktop Client but I'm not sure how to use it correctly...Can someone help us out? [00:43] Hi. I own a prescott p4 and would like to know if thermal throttling is ative. How do I do that [00:43] ? [00:44] i think you will need to use on his a no-ip client [00:44] cuznt: no-ip client? [00:44] the remote needs an addy to get there [00:45] it isd a dns update client i think [00:45] hold on [00:45] !no-ip [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about no-ip [00:45] corse not [00:47] i use no-ip so bewofthe.no-ip.org = a root server on my pc [00:47] so i have a client on my machine here [00:47] and register for an addy [00:47] its free btw [00:49] i have a couple... you can make it point to an application on your pc. so for me I have bewofthe.no-ip.org as an update client linking my pc to root servers then i must open a port on my firewall to allow it to allow it to update [00:49] issacj87 is sounds difficult but really is not [00:50] and i got no-ip2 on my kde through my repositories [00:50] it is a Dynamic DNS Update Clients [00:50] and then you register for an account [00:51] and the client on your pc hooks up to it.. bling bling... [00:51] i am not sure if you both can hook up to each other at the same time [00:52] plus you might also need a terminal server to allow a remote connection [00:52] cuznt: thanks for the info.

[01:18] ummmmmmmmmmm [01:18] 'sources' tells update where to look. [01:18] no i only have fetch update and i did run that [01:19] radlipat, from a console, run [01:19] run word sources? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:20] net?

[01:30] i have no cd burner [01:30] and i dont wanna wait 1-3 weeks [01:31] im getting mad at it [01:32] ok so how do i install mic???????????/ [01:33] anyone [01:33] hi [01:33] i just wanna use mic in general [01:33] how i install????????? [01:34] hi [01:34] plug into mic jack [01:34] thats done [01:34] kmix - make sure mic is on [01:34] no power button [01:35] always on [01:35] now what? [01:35] when I set my mic up I had to go into the kmix utility and mess around with it [01:36] I think I had to "unmute" the mic channel [01:36] Or set some volume up to 100% or something [01:36] how i check to see if works????? [01:37] Usually you can hear yourself in your speakers if its working I think, otherwise you can use one of the recording utilities [01:37] kewl [01:38] works [01:38] what did you have to do? [01:38] What the names of the kde3, kde4.-0, and kde4.1 packages? I.e. how can I tell which version of KDE is installed but NOT running on mysystem? [01:38] ty very much first problem that has acctualy been solved [01:38] glad to hear it [01:39] I just set up a mic so I somewhat remembered [01:40] lol well ty very much [01:41] now to see if it works on skype!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?? [01:41] lol [01:41] I was able to get that to work [01:41] But I had to mess with kmix a little [01:42] or maybe had to define which headphones/speakers I wanted in the skype software itself [01:43] hey [01:43] hello there === charlien is now known as charlien__ [01:48] how can i check how much free space is available on my hdd's? [01:48] du . -h [01:50] jsunio: is there a quick way that doesn't list all files? [01:50] i'd just like a /dev/sda1 900/1000 free or something [01:50] Sorry thats the wrong command I gave you [01:50] df . -h [01:50] du is disk used, df is disk free [01:51] I was thinking of du . -h --max-depth=0 [01:51] ok [01:51] so df / -h ? [01:51] df . -h [01:52] I just tried regular old df and I think it gave me all drives [01:52] kinda messy though [01:52] -h means human-readable output [01:52] ah [01:52] thanks jsunio [01:54] Every time I wake my laptop (Kubuntu, Hardy) from Suspend mode, it flashes up a message before it restores the X server: "i8042 aux 00:09 activation failed". What the *&%$@ does that mean??? [01:54] did you google it? [01:54] jsunio: Yep, and all the links seem to be related to keyboards not working, but mine works fine. [01:54] What happens if you unplug keyboard and wake it from suspend mode [01:55] jsunio: It's a laptop; I can't unplug the keyboard. [01:55] (Well, not without a chisel...) [01:56] What is i8042? [01:56] Something keyboard related. I was hoping someone here knew. [01:57] brb [01:59] Do you think its hardware or OS? [01:59] I see the same problem happening on ubuntuforums.org [02:01] does the touchpad work after resuming? [02:01] what kernel version are you using [02:02] jsunio: Evidence suggests it's a Hardy problem, since I don't recall it happening with Gutsy and suspend is otherwise working perfectly (if a bit slowly, but that's Ubuntu). [02:03] Checking kernel version (but it'll be the latest 8.04 one._ [02:03] Oh hmm how does it compare to: 2.6.17-8.22 [02:03] (It looks like an open bug) [02:04] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/59867 [02:04] someone mentioned using latest kernel 2.6.17-8.22 but I don't know if it then works [02:05] jsunio: Grub seems to be booting 2.6.24-22-generic [02:06] etfb: did you say that you upgraded to a newer of version of kubuntu (sorry I dont know the nicknames) and it stopped working? [02:06] Funny thing is: the synaptic touchpad works fine, the keyboard is OK, the only symptom is the message. I've learned to be careful about apparently-harmless warning messages, or else I wouldn't bother... [02:07] jsunio: Hardy Heron = 8.04, Gutsy Gibbon = 7.10. On Hardy, the warning appears. On Gutsy, I'm pretty sure it didn't. [02:07] Ok so its a new bug [02:08] The bug you linked to has the same warning, but is otherwise unrelated. [02:09] I suspect the touchpad problem is not related to the message. [02:09] Ah well, I'll shelve it for now. A warning with no errors is hardly the biggest worry. When I upgrade to Intrepid Ibex, maybe that will fix it. [02:10] Here is another one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/238728 [02:10] Yep. I would do the same... [02:11] jsunio: I found that one too. In both cases, the logic seems to be 1. I get this keyboard problem, 2. I get this message, therefore 3. They must be related. Since I get #2 and not #1, I think #3 must be false. Hope so, anyway. [02:12] Oh Interesting, it says there (though I didnt actually see it myself) that 2.6.27 kernel fixes #1 (maybe #2) [02:12] I'm running 2.6.22-14 [02:14] [19:38] i want to update from 6.06 to 8."whatever" is there a way to do that with konsole? [02:14] [19:38] i have no cd burner [02:14] [19:38] and i dont wanna wait 1-3 weeks [02:14] [19:39] im getting mad at it [02:15] I think you can do that, but what if it fails, you are stuck with no CD? [02:15] i can reinstall 6.06 i have that cd [02:15] I think apt-get can update the version? [02:16] I think you have to upgrade one version at a time [02:16] i.e. 6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04 etc. [02:16] ok so what would the command be? [02:16] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:16] i think [02:17] I went from 6.06 to 8.04 with no apparent problems, then broke KDE with upgrade to 8.10. [02:17] pragmatic, that is correct; be sure to update before upgrading. [02:17] <[Relic[> anyone good with kde4 panels?

[02:24] [20:30] could there be a repository for it???????????????????? [02:25] radlipat, there's something on the website about how to set the repos to update via apt [02:25] radlipat, it was in the announcement for 8.10 [02:25] ok [02:25] do u understand it? [02:25] i wont [02:26] again i am new to all linux terms [02:26] help me get my default panel back: http://imagebin.ca/view/0W7sl1y.html [02:26] radlipat, you want to go from 6.06 to 8.04?

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [02:28] ok [02:28] how [02:28] read the upgrade link [02:30] someone, please take a look at this http://imagebin.ca/view/0W7sl1y.html [02:30] how did my volume get over there? why is my clock so wide? [02:30] open a browser and read the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes radlipat [02:30] i did nothing to get rid of the defaults, so how do i get them back?? [02:31] so what do i do this in???? konsole???? [02:31] To find your Ubuntu version: [02:31] lsb_release -a [02:31] if I choose panel settings, it lets me move the clock from side to side. the instant I let go it goes back to this bizarre wide-format [02:32] radlipat, yes [02:32] kk ty [02:32] np [02:33] does anyone know how to get the default panel back in kde4? http://imagebin.ca/view/0W7sl1y.html [02:34] the clock, it goes on the right, the volume, it goes next to the clock. how did this happen???? i did NOT move them into this position [02:38] aib i'm not running kde4, but can you not simply move them back to where they are supposed to be? [02:39] you can't, it's very buggy :( [02:41] grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i dont understand what its asking of me [02:42] radlipat, we're glad to help if we can, but don't spam the channel [02:43] srry stiil dont understand [02:43] эй [02:43] ездь хтота русский?

[02:45] ok so what did that upgrade mean???? === dagwood is now known as derwood === derwood is now known as darreld [02:46] radlipat, it means it's going to be really hard and time consuming and it'd be better to get a CD [02:46] radlipat, did you find this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion [02:46] yes but i dont understand it === darreld is now known as dagwood [02:47] i dontcare if i loose everything on the hardrive [02:47] radlipat, you're on 6.10 now right? [02:47] yes [02:48] ok, go here [02:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades [02:50] why after upgrading to ff3.0.4 do you need to symlink libflashplayer.so when it was already the plugins folder? [02:52] I'm confused I need to link the files for plugins instead of having the files in the actual plugins folder? [02:55] ok i did all it said to do and now i still dont have full upgrade buttun [02:56] how do i see what version i am running mabey it is already done cause when i first installed 6.06 i hit full upgrade [02:57] let me know if you are looking so i dont keep typing [02:57] plz [02:57] radlipat, being fully updated won't change your version [02:58] radlipat, i'd just go ahead to the next step [02:58] according to site u guyz linked me it gave me repos to add and then i should hit full upgrade [02:58] ok [02:59] huh?? [02:59] radlipat, that was to make sure 6.10 was fully updated. Now you needa change your repos to the version 7 repos and update again. [02:59] Network upgrade for Kubuntu desktops (recommended) [02:59] You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure. [02:59] Open the Adept Manager by going to KMenu -> System -> Adept Manager (Manage Packages). [02:59] In Adept -> Manage Repositories enable edgy-updates (or feisty-updates "Recommended Updates" if you are already on feisty) [02:59] If you are using the Edgy KDE 3.5.6 repository, also add deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356-pre-feisty-upgrade/ edgy main [03:00] If your system is up to date, the upgrade wizard will be offered via the Version Upgrade button. Otherwise: [03:00] Press the Full Upgrade button. [03:00] radlipat, don't paste all that in here [03:00] Press the Apply Changes button. [03:00] Once the packages are installed, exit the Adept Manager (Adept -> Quit). [03:00] Repeat the initial steps (1-4).

[04:17] get 8.10 through konsole [04:17] from 6.06 [04:18] you are going to have to go to 8.04 first I think [04:19] idk he was taking me through it step by step on site cause i didnt understand it [04:20] what step did you get stuck at [04:21] ummm part two i think [04:21] hey everyone. I have a question and would love to get anyone's $.02 on the matter. I'm trying to install the amarok 2.0 deb on ubuntu 8.10, and the package installer is giving me this error: dependency is not satisfiable: amarok-mysql-data. I'm somewhat of a linux neophyte so any help would be appreciated. [04:21] not being in the conversation Idk what step two was [04:22] Run "sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop" in a terminal window. [04:23] was step two [04:23] i would think you would have to update your sources list as your post still shows you are trying to get newer releases from a dapper backport [04:24] ok so how? [04:25] I'm pretty new in doing this without a gui can you do it from a gui? [04:25] radlipat, By editing your sources.list with a text editor, I guess you already used kate. [04:26] yeah but idk bout the rest [04:26] radlipat, but I STRONGLY suggest that you first verify that you can go all the way from 6.06 to 8.10 in ONE step. [04:26] and ima falling asleep atkb here [04:26] maybe sudo apt-get update sourseslist [04:26] i don't think he can [04:26] radlipat, your sources.list is a bit too long [04:26] any way for me to make my clock 12 hour? [04:26] I think he has to go to 8.04 first [04:26] in the tray [04:26] I just did it in two steps: 6.06 to 8.04 and then to 8.10. And this broke my KDE, which I just fixed, but I can not remember how. [04:27] radlipat, you can only go from 6.06 to 8.04 [04:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades [04:27] ok [04:27] ur back [04:27] then from 8.04 to 8.10 [04:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/84645/ [04:28] radlipat, or you could save yourself some time and just get the 8.10 cd iso [04:28] ill stick with 8.04 for now cds coming in mail [04:28] !8.10 [04:28] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for K/ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion. Kubuntu Intrepid will have KDE 4 as the default Desktop Environment - see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuIntrepidVersion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [04:29] radlipat, if bazhang is right, then you need to replace all your words 'dapper" with "hardy', then from a console, sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -u. [04:29] you can download that iso too [04:29] NetSkier, that is not the 'approved' method [04:30] can i make it so you guyz can take over computer? [04:30] radlipat, no [04:30] bazhang, Sorry, I am fairly new to Kubuntu. What is the approved method? [04:30] radlipat, that is a very very bad idea [04:30] dang [04:30] radlipat, you are just trying to save $$ on Cd's? [04:31] i have nopersonal stuff on comp [04:31] still bad idea [04:31] my harddrive is even empty except for linux [04:31] oh k === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [04:31] you could open your box to future problems [04:32] radlipat, The point is that a bad person could take over your computer, and use it to commit crimes. [04:32] radlipat, looks like your sources.list has triple entries [04:32] ahh cant i just unplug it in middle? [04:32] lol yeah it does [04:33] you won't neccesarily know [04:33] radlipat, remove the bottom two thirds [04:33] ahhh [04:33] i closed kate how i open it again? [04:33] kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list <---write this down [04:35] now its shorter??? [04:35] hope so [04:35] relink it? [04:35] yep [04:35] save first or send right out of kate? [04:36] save first :/ [04:36] ok [04:36] NetSkier, /msg ubottu upgrade [04:36] saved now what?

[04:42] rodolfo: AFAIK Pidgin has support for webcams [04:43] Wickk: is it enabled by default? [04:43] rodolfo: Actually nvm I don't see it anywhere in my options. There may be a plugin though [04:44] humm let me give you the whole picture [04:44] bazhang: kknow what? [04:44] I'm on UBUNTU right now but I have a friend that uses Kubuntu [04:44] radlipat, replace your sources.list with that one [04:44] the thing is, he can't use his wc [04:45] i did [04:45] now what? [04:45] and saved [04:45] radlipat, sudo apt-get update [04:45] Wickk: so you mean that Pidgin has support for webcams... [04:45] and ran cat /etc/apt/sources.list [04:45] and it matched [04:45] kk [04:45] radlipat, did you use the one I just sent you? [04:45] Wickk: which is weird because the pidgin's GNOME version still hasn't [04:45] bazhang, /msg ubottu upgrade did not do anything. What should I see? [04:46] radlipat, cut and paste ? [04:46] rodolfo: No they don't I was wrong [04:46] NetSkier, check the PM from ubottu [04:46] Wickk: so which app/IM program can I suggest for him to install? [04:46] Wickk: aMSN? [04:46] kk its doing that [04:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/84655/ radlipat this one? [04:47] yea [04:47] rodolfo: honestly I'm not too sure, I only use Pidgin and Xchat. Hopefully someone else can recommend you one [04:47] and it matched [04:47] <[NetSkier> bazhang, HOW DO I check the PM from ubottu?

[04:55] i did [04:56] i saved it and all i even sent u the link above that last one [04:56] radlipat, any reason not to get the iso and do a fresh install? [04:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/84656/ [04:56] idk how [04:57] radlipat, seems you did a different upgrade route before all this (ie to edgy) and there are some leftover problems from that [04:57] and if i need cd burner its ootq [04:57] radlipat, a fresh install is much much easier [04:57] do i need a cd burner for that? [04:58] radlipat, yes; no one you know has one? [04:58] nope [04:59] radlipat, did you try to upgrade to edgy before I started helping you? [04:59] yes [04:59] no wonder [04:59] it was on list that other dude gave me [05:00] sigh* [05:00] and update-manager-core is installed?

[05:04] <[NetSkier> bazhang, Perhaps we could edit the file for him, and paste.ubuntu.com it back to him? [05:04] [NetSkier, we have tried that but it seems some edgy stuff got in there [05:04] <[NetSkier> bazhang, and that way enforce him going to Hardy before Intrepid. [05:05] <[NetSkier> bazhang, My guess is that the edginess was there from before. [05:05] no [05:05] some other dude had me update it [05:05] Wickk thanks for the help, it didn't work though [05:10] sooooooooO???????????? [05:10] radlipat, you have update-manager-core installed?

In the network manager i can add wired/wireless/mobile broadband/DSL connections but the "ADD" vpn connection is grayed out. Any idea on how to fix this: Ps: What is the best way to create a VPN in ubuntu that is compatible with the iphone/ipod touch? Thanks [05:58] does anyone have recommendations on what to use to manage my finances? I tried using kmymoney2 for half an hour and it is horrible [06:02] alakhia: why do you find it horrible? [06:02] too complex maybe? [06:03] then gnucash is not a solution neither [06:04] Mamarok: well, i exported my data from the bank to an OFX file [06:04] <\Kira> anybody have any experience with krecordmydesktop? After I record and select a destination to record to, the icon turns gray and wont respond. Not really sure whats going on... [06:04] Mamarok: now, everything is in blinking red text [06:05] Mamarok: i read the faq and it says i need to categorize my entries [06:05] alakhia: yes, of course, else it will not work correctly [06:05] Mamarok: so, I tried to search by my payroll company [06:06] Mamarok: i figured I'll select them all and set the category [06:06] Mamarok: i can't select all of them ... have to do it manually [06:06] one by one [06:06] alakhia: you should ask the kmymoney2 folks on their forum [06:06] where would that be? are they on irc? [06:06] alakhia: well, that's how accounting works, there's a lot of setup to do on your side I'm afraid [06:07] Mamarok: i don't mind the setup ... but when I select the category for a few items, it still shows up as red [06:07] alakhia: check here: http://forum.kde.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=69, [06:07] that leaves me with little faith [06:07] don't know of a particular channel on irc [06:08] and i don't want to categorize one item at a time only to find out i did it wrong [06:08] alakhia: you have to build your categories first, then import your data I would say... [06:08] well, i already found categories for payroll [06:09] here's another funny thing [06:09] if i do: edit splits and enter a category, close and then come back, the category is gone [06:10] and the entire amount again shows up as uncategorized [06:11] alakhia: what version do you unse, 0.9.2 or 0.8? [06:11] *use [06:11] 0.8.8 [06:11] hm, you really should ask on their forum, that's where the devs are [06:11] Mamarok: oh, i figured it out. I need to click on the "Enter" button [06:12] if i just hit enter, it doesn't get saved [06:12] well, of course, you have to validate the entries :) [06:12] but if i hit enter, shouldn't it do something sane like as if i hit the "enter" button [06:12] that's a bug then, if the enter key is not set, go to their forum! [06:12] ok, it sounds like that's what I will do [06:13] thanks for your help and for listening to me rant [06:13] :-( [06:13] alakhia: your are welcome :) [06:34] anyone else having issues with amarok and kde4.2 beta [06:35] amarok starts fine in XFCE and works pretty good, but just will not start up in kde at all. [06:35] what is LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and why is it set by KDE? [06:42] snarkster: I'm not that brave ;). As it is, I'm running 4.1.x kubuntu, and the graphic latency redraw on my desktop--with an Nvidia 9700M GT 512mb GPU and the proprietary (177) Nvidia driver--is horrible. I have to wait an average of 5 to 10 seconds to be able to use anything I click on. [06:43] snarkster: Any way to speed things up? [06:43] reenignEesreveR: in Hardy? [06:52] hmmm.. just reading about getting amarok 2.. it shows that kubuntu 8.1 should be using KDE 4 yet I am using 3.5 ... any reason why? [06:54] anyone know why I still get a blank screen when X starts with the new 8.12 catalyst driver with a HD4850 card, I have followed the howto on the wiki to the letter, also /var/log/xorg.log.0.old doesnt shine a light on the matter as no error is showing [06:56] the old catalyst driver also had the same problem, the radeon driver works but obviously I have no 3D support [06:57] the official packages in the kubuntu repo also result in a blank screen when x starts [06:58] linux users may like this post http://www.blogpirate.org/2008/12/12/teacher-bans-linux-what-you-may-not-have-heard/ [06:59] Catalyst is one of the main reasons I'm happy to have gone nvidia. Can't stand ATI Linux support [07:01] Expecto: my old machine had an nvidia card and the laugh is kubuntu also showed me a blank screen until I ran envy [07:02] kubuntu + proprietry video driver = needs work [07:04] could it be the ati radeon driver needs xorg.conf to be filled in unlike the open source radeon driver ?

[07:24] snarkster: I don't know what the ubuntu team were thinking nixxing kde 3.5.x so soon. I just don' t follow their thinking. No flames please. [07:24] anyone know the best site for kde4.1 customization? (specifically window styles) [07:24] snarkster: Do you use gnome? [07:25] kde-look has like 4 to choose from <.< [07:25] !opera [07:25] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked.

[09:38] curently i have new kubuntu installed 8.10 for 64 bit procesors [09:38] but i want to installed kubuntu also new for 32 bit [09:39] But let me guess, you don't want to overwrite everything? [09:39] and I download the this kubuntu and burn it into cd [09:39] now :) [09:39] oh...ok [09:39] no :) [09:39] and the cd doesn't install properly [09:39] how to log in as a root in kubuntu 8.04?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[09:40] i can see you know something like in terminal [09:40] yes [09:40] piotreceq O_o was hoping that it would link you to how to enable root account [09:41] someone tell me how to get ip of my computer in the lan [09:41] have you tried using the cd twice or checking if there are any defects with the cd? [09:41] wait, wait, wait, never mind [09:41] i remembered [09:41] ryxxed: in the console, type ifconfig [09:41] i must say that I try it something around 5 times [09:42] maybe i can install it by text mode instalation [09:42] do you know what to do ? [09:42] just a question-is your internet fast enough to download from another server another .iso image? [09:42] yeah, i know [09:42] here's the deal, i got everything working to share internet from my kubuntu to xp [09:42] yes :) [09:42] my guess is that you used http download right? [09:43] lan is operational, everything is working [09:43] yes [09:43] but it's not getting the internet, LAN is working though [09:43] nothing, no packets [09:43] i did static ip setup, do i have to enable the default gateway? [09:43] or just the DNS? [09:44] try getting an .iso file from another server-and if the second .iso image doesn't work then it's a pc problem (sometimes I have to download 2 images before I get one that works 100%) [09:44] do you think i should download it not by http ? [09:44] ryxxed: I think your dns might be -- [09:44] ok :) [09:44] missing [09:45] but you know i had kubuntu installed but it is 64 bit [09:45] stefanjrklb: you could try bit torrent [09:45] yes I know, but 64bit has flash problems [09:45] So I heard [09:45] my dns might be --? [09:45] you can manually install it [09:45] not really hard [09:45] yes that is why i want 32 bit :) [09:45] or if you're lazy, you can just install 32 bit firefox [09:45] because of flash :) [09:45] go 32bit firefox [09:45] on 64bit [09:46] trust me, works flawlessly === piotreceq is now known as kuopott [09:46] im on 64bit and probably running a few 32bit apps wihtout knowing it [09:46] ryxxed: your internet only stops working when you go static right? Maybe try jotting down your automated ip address with the gateway and dns and then using similar settings when you use the static ip address- [09:46] no, it never worked [09:46] i tried firestarter, everything probably [09:47] this is the first time LAN worked, as in, not showing the warning icon on XP [09:47] now i just need it to somehow share internet [09:47] just did ifconfig, not getting any adresses from eth0 [09:47] which is my network card === kuopott is now known as al_tuxa_al_taxa [09:48] any ideas? === al_tuxa_al_taxa is now known as piotreceq [09:48] ryxxed: your router is connected to the internet I presume [09:50] no router :/ [09:50] only a USB DSL modem [09:50] ryxxed: just wondering, you say you have no internet yet you're on the internet right now O. [09:50] O.o [09:50] which is connected, as in pp;0 [09:50] oh [09:50] *ppp0 [09:51] But that usb modem(you got dsl I guess) does have a lan cable right?

[09:55] having 2 machines fighting for a single ip that you get from your isp [09:55] you need to have a router to manage internal network ips [09:55] via router dhcp [09:55] ryxxed can i pm ya [09:55] sure thing === ryxxed_ is now known as ryxxed === |Ab3L| is now known as Ab3L [10:16] re [10:18] Hmm, I edited my xorg and 1280x1024 still isn't showing up [10:21] hm [10:21] have you searched all the forum topics regarding that problem?

[10:33] oh [10:33] ok [10:33] terrible for 20 man servers [10:33] put the graphics down then [10:33] do you go into Windows? [10:34] to play the games?

[10:35] yap [10:35] Then why not just replace it with a newer card!?!?

[11:41] i can do it trough fstab just think there must be an easyer way to mount smb [11:41] you can do it with the command line... [11:42] there used to be some tools like smb4k that could do it.. but with kde4 - not sure if those still work [11:42] the fusesmb tool was a neat way also.. but its been very flakey lately [11:44] Dr_willis: thats a needed feature for newcomers to linux [11:46] im gonna try the fusesmb === glade88_ is now known as glade88 [11:48] Most peopel are able to use the browse feature of the file manager.. but lately its been flakey in some cases.

But nothing extreme and I don't have super laggy redrawing, just sort of laggy redrawing. [15:17] funbitz1: It was a new Ubuntu 8.10 install that I've upgraded to the jaunty alphas.

It does need to be easier I have to agree---> maybe in Kde 4.3 or 4.4 they will start adding more features to things(to simplify a few things that is) [16:10] KDE 4.1 was making everything stable- [16:10] not sure what KDE 4.2 will bring(hopefully, more apps and such-or stabler apps) [16:11] Arg, I miss the KDE icon for the Kmenu. I don't like the arrow. [16:11] yeah. I Think a bit more ppl will join the "light" side when things are more simple. [16:11] hmm "bright" side is probably a more suitable word ;P [16:13] Hello. Please help me with my TV tuner. TVtime starts but seems like it cannot switch channels, just plays at. [16:14] tzd:haha-light on hardware(more than 3.5 or so). But I dont want it to be sooooo simplistic it makes it hard to use(or have fun with it)- [16:14] GNOME for example--is too simplistic [16:14] I feel "dumb" when using it [16:16] CrazyKlompjes: yeah i completely get what you mean :) I think there should be a "hidden" advanced mode so that skilled people can modify as they wish and then the less skilled people can access the basic stuff [16:17] yep-true :) even though I use all the options from the menus and such(details and so). Just love the look of KDE and the ability to split a screen with ctrl-alt-shift-left arrow and such :D [16:18] So [16:19] Hehe that was a new cmd :) Didn't work here though... a kde4 cmd perhaps?

The wifi is built in, but I don't know the hardware. [20:01] cactux: if its not showing up in lspci then its probably turned off. is there a button to turn it on? [20:01] ActionParsnip, yes, and it is already shining blue [20:02] it seems to be on USB [20:02] cactux: what model laptop is it again? [20:02] dmesg outputs something when I press the wifi on/off switch [20:02] it is a hp6830 [20:02] ahh, then use the identifier you get and websearch [20:03] ActionParsnip i need help with apt-build world command [20:03] it seems to be 03f0:171d [20:03] I thought it was bluetooth only [20:03] but no, wifi toot [20:03] too* [20:03] cactux: http://www.delaere.nl/blog/2008/hp-6830-with-ubuntu-linux-804-wireless-not-working-working/ [20:04] ActionParsnip, you are fast! wow!

There is a specific tar ball for kernels below 2.6.26 (I have 2.6.24), but it gives a 404. [20:08] Can I upgrade the kernel? [20:08] cactux: then try find the tar yourself, the link is clearly bad [20:08] without upgrading the complete distro [20:09] is beryl open source? [20:09] ryxxed, no more beryl [20:09] ryxxed, its compiz-fusion now [20:09] really?

It has worked in the past but I remember it was plugged in when i installed Hardy and not when I installed Intrepid.

[20:38] possibly, you can check that is ok as well using the live cd] === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [20:41] ActionParsnip: perhaps it's also worth mentioning that kubuntu 6.10 installed fine.

[20:46] sup hommies [20:47] ActionParsnip: impossible. i've happily used it on my other machine a bunch of times (last time being today). ctrl + alt + backspace has no effect. i doubt the memory is bad (that wasn't my question), i'm wondering whether it'd install with there being only 224 mb. [20:48] also, no difference with graphics only mode turned on. === duilio is now known as duilio__ [20:50] graphics only? safe graphics mode, i mean. [20:50] d_mitry: can you do a trext based install with that disk? [20:51] ActionParsnip: if safe graphics mode is synonymous to text only, then yes, i have that option. otherwise, no. [20:51] Also have a question about vmware, does that function as it's suppose to and do all windows program really work? If anyone knows, thanks. [20:52] d_mitry: try some boot options for the live boot [20:52] !bootoptions | d_mitry [20:52] d_mitry: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [20:53] d_mitry: try acpi=off nodma [20:54] ok. thanks. === benklop_ is now known as benklop [21:03] ActionParsnip: that has yielded some interesting results. the last message is: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)" and my caps and scroll lock lights are flashing. [21:06] which is due to me getting rid of some boot options. maybe i should try again then. :P [21:07] d_mitry: wow crazy [21:11] ActionParsnip: those options made no difference. i'm gonna read up on various options now. === berruer is now known as esb === esb is now known as esbe [21:13] hello, i have a problem with .jar files , they known as zip file in kubuntu 8.10 an open by ark while i have changed to open by java [21:13] icon of jar files are just like zip!

[22:04] yes [22:04] jennifer: I had an issue like that. there was a pppd paramiter I needed to add. let me see if I can find it. [22:04] It's a sprint pcs connection card [22:04] Merlin S620 [22:04] is it possible to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.10? [22:05] d_mitry: Not directly. but you can go from 6.06 to 8.04 [22:06] jennifer: take look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-434097.html all the way at the bottom. [22:07] okay [22:07] jennifer: that solved the problem for him, and he has the exact same card and problem as you. [22:07] the very very bottom? [22:07] thats it [22:07] jennifer: the very last one, written by 'himikeb' [22:07] whats sudo?

[22:08] jennifer: try it this way... [22:08] right click on the desktop and select 'Run" [22:09] run command [22:09] in the box type "kdesu kate /etc/ppp/options" [22:09] without the quotes... [22:09] genii-around: is that possible with just the 8.04 cd? [22:09] it will ask for your password. [22:10] then open the file with kate, which is like Notepad on steroids [22:10] find that line, "lcp-echo-failure 4", and put a "#" in front of it. then save the file and close kate. [22:10] hang on [22:11] jennifer: its on line 232 on my system [22:12] all i have is line 1 col: 1 [22:12] close what you have [22:12] nvm [22:12] i see it [22:12] ok [22:13] lol im slow [22:13] np [22:13] brb [22:14] bck [22:14] jennifer: once that line is changed, and you've saved the file, you should be ok [22:15] wat do i change it 2 [22:16] just put a "#" in front of it. [22:16] that will make the program that reads it ignore that line [22:17] ah [22:17] so instead of the line being "lcp-echo-failure 4" it will be "#lcp-echo-failure 4" === ubuntu__ is now known as charlie_ [22:17] ok i saved it [22:17] Ok. try using the card again.

[22:20] yeah [22:20] i had a question [22:20] sorry for my english [22:20] jennifer: whats the make and model of your printer? [22:21] Dell 968 [22:21] brb [22:21] i have a question about kmail: I restored my old .kmail folder to a fresh kubuntu 8.10 install [22:21] I only want to know why we had to tap twice for a ^ ? [22:21] but when i click on my mails in my personal folders, the email disappewars [22:21] and the subject and sender are called unknown [22:22] anyone ?? [22:23] jennifer: A quick search tells me that the Dell 968 Printer is incompatable. It's a rebranded lexmark, and lexmark printers in general are not linux friendly. [22:23] great [22:23] I only want to know why we had to tap twice for a ^ ? [22:23] jennifer: sorry. wish I had better news about that. [22:24] is there a way around that [22:24] anyone please ? [22:24] jennifer: just about every other manufacture supports linux... [22:24] well i got my net back [22:24] lol but my printer [22:25] jennifer: not really. Lexmark doesn't release drivers, and they don't release specs so drivers can be written. [22:25] they are kindof bastards that way [22:25] well i can get a new printer lol [22:25] I recomend HP [22:25] I've never had an HP not work. very good linux support. [22:26] if you want to double check, just google "linux you'll find other linux users using that model printer and their experiance. [22:26] my system just crashed, the keyboard lights started blinking and sound froze - how do I find out what went wrong? [22:27] I only want to know why we had to tap twice for a ^ ? [22:27] anyone please ? [22:27] -cries- [22:27] lol [22:27] belze: if no one answers, they don't know. [22:27] ty again for the help bi [22:27] ok i think that it was my english that you don't understand xD [22:27] belze: how would you write this: ê ? [22:27] jennifer: no problem... send me some internet dollors. :) [22:27] lol [22:28] yeah [22:28] no I only want to know why we had to tap twice on the keyboard for only one ^ ? [22:28] :) [22:28] i understand, [22:28] where are you from? [22:28] ^ is Shift+6 for me. :P === bill is now known as Guest92610 [22:28] belze are you French? [22:29] how do you know that ? xD [22:29] because i am, [22:29] and almost only French use "^" [22:29] :) [22:29] oh parlons francais alors =) [22:29] private [22:30] jennifer: heres a good page to look for compatable printers: http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [22:38] argh, how to upgrade kubuntu from 6.06 to 8.04? [22:39] download iso, open tray, burn cd, reboot [22:39] ryxxed: oh, i meant via internet. [22:40] uh, nope [22:40] eh? [22:40] not the same thing as downloading updates === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:41] d_mitry: thats too far of a jump to upgrade. you'll need to reinstall. [22:41] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading-8.04 [22:41] jennifer, you still around? [22:42] bipolar: not according to a few sources. [22:42] posting on this site [22:42] actually, he can do it [22:42] sorry lol [22:42] hey does anyone in here watch Fringe? [22:42] you're right! the instructions say it can be done. [22:42] d_mitry : http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading-8.04 [22:42] Good luck! :) [22:42] ryxxed: reading. [22:42] danke. [22:43] didn't sound realistic, but wow, it can be done [22:43] jennifer, couple of things.. the printer site is a couple years out of date.. you might look on Dell's site for linux drivers and if they are not there then check out the Lexmark print drivers.. some of Dell's printers mirror Lexmark [22:43] that's gonna be one hell of an upgrade [22:43] if i were using gnome, then update-manager could do it very easily (apparently). [22:43] use adept manager? [22:43] that doesn't give me an option to upgrade at all. :P [22:44] did you enable the channel [22:44] d_mitry: you could install the gnome update manager [22:44] that the instructions say [22:44] dapper-updates? [22:45] ryxxed: haven't read the instructions yet. i have it enabled, though. [22:45] bipolar: could you help me with that? [22:45] uh [22:45] it's just apt-get install gnome something [22:46] if it's gonna come with a couple of hundred megabytes of other stuff, then i'll pass. :P [22:46] not really [22:46] but i don't think you need it [22:47] k, i'm gonna follow these instructions. [22:48] d_mitry, the easiest way if you have room is to create a separate partition large enough for your /home and move all your data there.. then all you have to do in reinstall the entire system tagging the newly created /home as /home but not formatting it. [22:48] i thought they weren't gonna involve update-manager. i guess i'll try to get that then. [22:49] scunizi: i can't install 8.10 (or 8.04) from the cd. that's why i'm trying to upgrade instead. [22:49] i found it [22:49] this is what you're gonna do [22:49] d_mitry, ah.. I missed why that wasn't possible.. enlighten me [22:49] sudo aptitude install update-manage-core [22:49] after it's done with installing dependencies and the update manage [22:49] do-version-upgrade in terminal [22:50] *version ==> upgrade [22:50] scunizi: black screen after choosing to install (or try kubuntu with no changes) at boot menu of live cd. same with safe graphics mode. [22:51] d_mitry : did it work? [22:51] ryxxed: two secs. [22:52] d_mitry, just wondering if you removed "quiet splash" from the kernel line on boot so you could see the errors? [22:53] ryxxed: package couldn't be found. [22:53] ah crap [22:53] scunizi: sadly, i didn't. i could try doing so now. [22:53] it's update-manager-core [22:53] not manage [22:53] i suck at spelling [22:53] *typing [22:53] yeah, i typed manager. :P [22:53] i didn't notice that you said manage. [22:54] hm [22:54] did you enable all of the software sources? [22:54] negative. i'm gonna go do that now somewhere. [22:54] d_mitry, upgrading the manual way from 6.06 to 8.04 can be problemmatic.. there's also safe graphics mode boot.. and the one that I turn to most of the time is the Alternate CD. [22:58] scunizi: ok. i might do it from the cd then. [22:58] !list [22:58] 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 === metin_ is now known as motek [22:59] ryxxed: and done. what did you mean by *version ==> upgrade? [23:00] instead of version [23:00] put upgrade [23:00] do-upgrade-upgrade? [23:00] do-release-upgrade [23:01] why is kde so bloaty with firefox, anyway to straighten that out? [23:01] doing. [23:01] irc://irc.darksin.net/Blusky [23:01] yeah, firefox doesn't look good at all with kde 4. [23:01] 1 [23:02] and my systray icons tend to white out all the time [23:03] i'm thinking of installing ubuntu [23:03] over kubuntu [23:04] ryxxed: bloated? [23:04] ryxxed, you can do that without loosing kde.. yet.. just sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop.. then change sessions on boot.. if you want to keep it and uninstall kde, google "pure gnome" and you'll have a way to get rid of the kde dependancies. [23:05] hm [23:05] tm_t : well, honestly, i feel gnomeis somehow more stable and faster than kde [23:05] and i get these weird graphical bugs with kde [23:05] ryxxed: hmm, interesting, feel (:) [23:06] well, isn't it? [23:06] ryxxed: not here atleast [23:07] ryxxed: I don't find my KDE bloated nor slow [23:07] is there any hope for 4.2? [23:07] ryxxed, you're graphical oddities might be due to the graphics driver / card combo. [23:07] using the latest nvidia driver [23:07] with 7600gs [23:07] I run the 4.2 beta on a radeon 9000 just fine with compositing [23:07] it was even worse before i installed them [23:08] Anyone tried Slax? [23:08] some yes [23:09] hallo [23:09] With a bit of tweaking to the kernel and disabling services I got Kubuntu to boot just as fast on my oldl system [23:09] I was impressed [23:10] uh, you got your pc to boot as fast as the old one? [23:10] hah [23:11] old system meaning partition with slax installed [23:11] ryxxed: I got rid of the kde4 graphical glitches by installing the nvidia driver from jaunty [23:11] ryxxed: that driver should show up in backports someday. [23:11] guiri : hah [23:11] that's not bad [23:11] bipolar : hope it will [23:12] ryxxed: it's not hard to install. just download and install with dpkg. [23:12] doesn't break anything else [23:12] which one? [23:13] nvidia-glx-180 [23:13] i got 180.84 on windows [23:13] and nvidia-180-kernel-source [23:13] ryxxed, are you using 177 173 or 180? [23:13] scunizi : 177 [23:13] we really need it in backports. [23:13] solves a lot of issues [23:13] !wish | bipolar [23:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about wish [23:13] well, is it live? [23:13] ryxxed, that's part of you problem.. drop to 173 and you'll notice a speed increase or go to 180.. [23:14] bah [23:14] i'm gonna try 180 [23:14] ryxxed, if you don't do it right it will leave you with no X [23:14] as soon as wine's done building [23:14] oh [23:14] well, that'd be bad [23:14] I didn't have any issues installing it. [23:15] just dpkg -i 'ed the two packages and rebooted. [23:15] ryxxed, you have to disable the current nvidia driver then uninstall all nvidia stuff from aptitude.. then you can install the new one but only from terminal after stopping kdm [23:15] ryxxed, easier to try 173 first [23:15] huh? I didn't do any of that. [23:15] yeah, i guess i'll downgrade [23:16] bipolar, for 180? [23:16] yeah [23:16] how do i downgrade? [23:16] I downloaded the two pacakages, then used dpkg -i from konsole to install them. === alberto is now known as Guest22879 [23:16] ryxxed, restricted drivers manager.. sometimes known as Hardware drivers.. [23:16] right... [23:16] i'm not thinking clearly [23:16] it's midnight [23:17] 3pm here but I got 4 hrs last night.. arg.. [23:17] q: how do I graphically add a printer ? [23:18] graphically? [23:18] Flashtek, you could go right to cups if you want.. in a browser go to http://localhost:631 [23:18] scunizi: there has to be another way right ? [23:18] scunizi : damn you, i was thinking of a clever pun [23:19] how, without the use of a web browser, do you add a printer ? [23:19] Flashtek, in kde.. aaahh. is there a printer appelate in settings? [23:19] scunizi: noop [23:20] Flashtek, hang on let me check my VM of Kubuntu [23:21] booting it now [23:21] Damn. Shipit doesn't do Xubuntu. I was gonna mail my parents a cd. [23:23] 709 mb have nearly been downloaded. [23:23] already!? [23:23] yep. average speed was about 785 kB/s. [23:24] i'm lucky if i get 10 times less than you [23:24] Flashtek, Apptlications>system>printing [23:24] damn [23:25] ryxxed, bittorentr [23:25] *bittorent [23:25] scunizi: thanks [23:25] uh, my internet is 768 kbps [23:25] i don't think bittorrent really helps [23:25] especially with 64kbps upload ;_; [23:26] anyone know how to improve resizing on an old FX5600? [23:26] buy a new graphics card [23:26] resizing performance is the only thing that makes dealing with windows look choppy :/ [23:26] ryxxed, kbps is different from kB/s one is kilobytes and one is kilobits.. which is which I always get confused. [23:27] b = bytes [23:27] i mean [23:27] b = bits, B = bites [23:27] 8 bits to a byte [23:27] but, let me translate [23:27] ryxxed: the FX5600 works flawlessly on a dual monitor 1920x1200x2 setup... resizing is choppy [23:27] theoretical 6 kb/s upload [23:28] i'm being asksed whether to allow restarting rsync, cupsys, cron and atd. should i? [23:28] and 90 kb/s [23:28] any other solution than buy a new card? [23:28] killing off some effects? [23:28] i have dsl [23:28] so it's no guaranteed speed [23:28] and also, it's PPPoE [23:28] which is rage inducign [23:29] d_mitry, what have you been doing that it would want to ask that? either way answering OK is probably ok [23:29] scunizi: upgrading glibc. [23:29] ryxxed: actually effects is what makes everything feel more responsive. I think I tweaked the effects to zen. resizing is the only problem. everything else is quite perfect :/ [23:29] * d_mitry does it. [23:29] i have no idea then [23:33] ryxxed, I have an 8200 card on my motherboard and with the 177 driver preformance was horrible.. laggy.. streaks when moving windows etc.. the 180.xx driver fixed it all for me but it's still not up to the 173 driver on my 6600 GT AGP card [23:34] i'm gonna wait till it hits the backport [23:34] ryxxed, you should be able to downgrade to the 173 without issues.. [23:35] yeah, but right now, i'm copying 30 gb from ext3 to ntfs [23:35] and apt-building wine [23:35] ryxxed, yea.. you don't want to do anything right now. [23:36] yeah, i know [23:36] i might as well grow a beard [23:36] thank god for 64bit [23:39] hy where is here [23:39] where here and speske german [23:39] !gr [23:40] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [23:40] was that german?

[23:59] *everyone upgrades [23:59] if you're doing tha [23:59] no need for backing it up [23:59] to the newest version, does it do this now [23:59] and if so why?
