| Ketrel | Listen, if I could do any of this, I would, but I can't so I'm doing it fresh | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Ketrel | Lets try this another way | 00:00 |
| Ketrel | I'm trying to burn a Data DVD for a friend | 00:00 |
| Ketrel | But when I try to burn it says "please insert a complete or appendable DVD +- R (W) medium" | 00:00 |
| ryxxed | tell your friend that he shouldn't touch his home directory | 00:00 |
| ryxxed | but in all seriousness | 00:00 |
| Ketrel | It's no longer the home directory | 00:00 |
| ryxxed | i have no clue, have you tried googling | 00:00 |
| Ketrel | it's just a generic data dvd | 00:00 |
| Ketrel | I googled it and found nothing usefull | 00:01 |
| ryxxed | tried different dvds? | 00:01 |
| Ketrel | don't have different DVDs, but KDE detects it as a blank DVD | 00:01 |
| Ketrel | when I insert it | 00:01 |
| Kenzor_ | maybe you have one of those old exlusively + or - drives | 00:01 |
| Kenzor_ | and the wrong kind of DVD | 00:02 |
| Ketrel | I've burned this type of DVD on windows on the same laptop | 00:02 |
| ryxxed | try a different program? | 00:02 |
| Ketrel | I'm open to that, got any suggestions? | 00:02 |
| scunizi | Ketrel, much easier with an external usb HD.. but then you use what you have on the DVD and the software isn't prepaired to split the burn in several DVD's | 00:02 |
| ryxxed | k3b comes with kde | 00:02 |
| ryxxed | so, let's say, try brasero | 00:02 |
| scunizi | that didn't make any sense because I inadvertantly hit the mouse pad on this laptop.. drives me nuts.. | 00:03 |
| Ketrel | scunizi: the directory I wish to burn is under 4.4gb | 00:03 |
| Ketrel | I asked this in #kde as well and was told that this was a bug in kubuntu which at least when he last looked was never fixed | 00:04 |
| scunizi | Ketrel, interesting.. maybe take the data and make an ISO out of it then burn just one file.. | 00:04 |
| === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq | ||
| Ketrel | is there any way to make the iso in k3b (because I did exclude some files from the DVD) | 00:04 |
| scunizi | Ketrel, sure.. | 00:04 |
| Ketrel | and how? | 00:05 |
| scunizi | I'll look hang on. | 00:06 |
| Ketrel | Brasero segfaults XD | 00:06 |
| ryxxed | awesome | 00:06 |
| Ketrel | only when a DVD is in | 00:06 |
| Ketrel | if it's empty it's fine | 00:06 |
| crimsaq | I have lost my entire kpanel, its completely blank... anyone know how I can restore it back to normal? | 00:07 |
| crimsaq | my clock, taskbar apps, EVERYTHING is gone :| | 00:07 |
| ryxxed | right click > add widgets? | 00:07 |
| crimsaq | I have to manually add it all back? | 00:07 |
| ryxxed | it's not that hard | 00:07 |
| ryxxed | in fact, it's easier | 00:08 |
| Kenzor_ | i've had that happen once or twice too, it's a pain | 00:08 |
| ryxxed | ctrl + l = ftw | 00:08 |
| crimsaq | . | 00:08 |
| === liza is now known as lmg | ||
| Ketrel | ok, option two, time to setup samba | 00:09 |
| lmg | hi there is there anybody knows how to use joining yahoo chat using kopete? | 00:09 |
| crimsaq | omg this is so retarded. | 00:10 |
| crimsaq | none of the widgets are fitting right | 00:10 |
| crimsaq | I added a clock and it spanned the entire panel | 00:10 |
| crimsaq | ... | 00:10 |
| crimsaq | covering up my kmenu. | 00:11 |
| ryxxed | right click on the panel | 00:11 |
| ryxxed | edit panel | 00:11 |
| scunizi | Ketrel, this might help some.. two things are mentioned.. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/create-.iso-image-wk3b-287326/ | 00:11 |
| Ketrel | scunizi doesn't matter any more, I get the same problem in K3b when trying to burn an image, and Brasero segfaults when I put a DVD in | 00:12 |
| crimsaq | I need a break from this, its pissing me off. | 00:12 |
| Ketrel | I'm gonna try with samba | 00:12 |
| vbgunz | is there a way to maximize a window *but* without overlapping another? sort of maximize into empty space? | 00:12 |
| ryxxed | resizing ext3 | 00:12 |
| ryxxed | how safe is it? | 00:12 |
| scunizi | Ketrel, that's weird.. I use k3b in gnome with dvd's and it works fine. | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 00:13 |
| vbgunz | do I need the cddb configuration tool on Intrepid? is this a left over from KDE 3.5? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !info cddb | 00:15 |
| ubottu | cddb (source: xmcd): CD DataBase support tools. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6-19.2 (intrepid), package size 59 kB, installed size 144 kB | 00:15 |
| brad_ | so does anyone have any answer about how to make it stop saying "link" instead of showing me the link in Kopete? This happened to other people right? | 00:15 |
| vbgunz | cool | 00:15 |
| vbgunz | actually I don't even have xmcd installed... but I do see the cddb configuration tool in settings | 00:16 |
| vbgunz | I'll peep into it | 00:16 |
| Ketrel | scunizi as I said, it's supposed to be a bug from what I heard | 00:18 |
| vbgunz | this is what the command says: kcmshell libkcddb ... I am thinking though if it is a lib, should I really remove it... hmm, in a bind | 00:18 |
| Ketrel | a but in 8.04 (BTW) | 00:18 |
| ryxxed | is there a way to display RSS feeds on desktop? | 00:20 |
| ryxxed | using akregator | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | brad_: when does it say link? | 00:21 |
| fleetcommand | i think akregator can't display rss feeds on desktop | 00:22 |
| marek_ | hi anybody with success with Ata-over-Ethernet? | 00:22 |
| d_mitry | ryxxed: how long do you think the upgrade's gonna take? | 00:23 |
| d_mitry | 256 mb of ram and 1.2 ghz processor. | 00:23 |
| ryxxed | not as much as what i'm dong | 00:23 |
| ryxxed | wait, wait | 00:23 |
| ryxxed | i take that back | 00:23 |
| d_mitry | haha | 00:23 |
| brad_ | actionparsnip: when someone sends a link, instead of seeing the actual text of the link, it says the word link (so I cant see what website it is) then when I click on it it opens as a cached page | 00:23 |
| ryxxed | my 8 year old pc is better than that | 00:23 |
| brad_ | and it did this ever since upgrading and there is no setting I can find about it | 00:23 |
| ryxxed | but still your internet is 10 times faster | 00:23 |
| d_mitry | ...whoa, i just saw "Done." | 00:23 |
| d_mitry | oh, that was for just one thing. | 00:24 |
| ryxxed | i want to punch you over the internet | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ryxxed: if it does the job then its fine | 00:24 |
| d_mitry | heh | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | brad_: then ask the person to send it as normal text | 00:24 |
| ryxxed | you're gonna aptitude my fist through the universe repo | 00:24 |
| marek_ | i;m typing "modprobe aoe", but with tail /var/log/syslog i cant see any action, what might be the cause? | 00:24 |
| ryxxed | actionparsnip : since you're here, anyway i can dock my rss feed on the desktop? | 00:24 |
| brad_ | no thats what they do, they copy and paste the link | 00:25 |
| brad_ | into the chat window, from the web browser | 00:25 |
| brad_ | and I see the word "link" | 00:25 |
| brad_ | every time | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ryxxed: no idea man | 00:25 |
| ryxxed | well, i guess you gotta experiment | 00:25 |
| brad_ | ever since getting whatever the major kopete upgrade was | 00:25 |
| scunizi | brad_, switch to irssi :).. you'll never have that issue again. | 00:26 |
| ryxxed | irssi supports msn? | 00:27 |
| brad_ | did this not happen to anyone else? | 00:27 |
| brad_ | does anyone here use the new kopete? | 00:27 |
| d_mitry | through bitlbee, it does. | 00:27 |
| ryxxed | even pidgin's better than kopete | 00:27 |
| brad_ | yeah I find I never get help here so I'm going to go this is just going to continue to drive me insane indefinitely | 00:28 |
| d_mitry | pidgin 2.5.2 is great. all it needs is voice clip and webcam support now. | 00:28 |
| brad_ | I mean these answers aren't even comments on this problem | 00:28 |
| brad_ | I say I try to do something which should work, and wont work, and am told "well don't do that" | 00:28 |
| d_mitry | brad_: i'd love to help, but i don't use kopete. | 00:28 |
| scunizi | brad_, have you considered xchat.. it's better than kopete and pidgin | 00:30 |
| illissius | hi | 00:31 |
| illissius | anyone here have kdm autologin working w/ intrepid? | 00:31 |
| scunizi | why would you do that and ruin your security? | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | illissius: i do | 00:31 |
| Dragnslcr | brad_- I've seen that or heard of anyone else having that problem. what version of Kopete? | 00:31 |
| illissius | scunizi: because i'm a masochist who is incapable of making rational decisions. | 00:32 |
| brad_ | I'm on 4.1.3 now, it was as soon as I upgraded to the version where the icon changed | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | scunizi: if he lives alone and no one ever sees his system, its pretty ok | 00:32 |
| scunizi | illissius, Ah! In that case please proceed! | 00:32 |
| illissius | ActionParsnip: could you send me the contents of your /etc/pam.d/kdm-np in a query please? | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | illissius: in a query? | 00:32 |
| Dragnslcr | brad_- Help -> About Kopete | 00:32 |
| vbgunz | does anybody know how to get konqueror to open an iso seamlessly? I mean just browsing to one, clicking on it, it simply mounts and opens? | 00:33 |
| illissius | ActionParsnip: hm. dunno how it is in pidgin :/ | 00:33 |
| illissius | in konversation you would right click my name and select 'open query' | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | illissius: http://pastebin.com/f57cb5878 | 00:33 |
| illissius | pidgin might call it a private chat or something... | 00:33 |
| illissius | ActionParsnip: that works too :) thanks a bunch | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | illissius: its a pastebin | 00:34 |
| illissius | i see that | 00:34 |
| === david_ is now known as david_edmundson | ||
| illissius | hmm | 00:35 |
| illissius | so that's not my problem then :( | 00:35 |
| illissius | (same file here) | 00:35 |
| illissius | stupid pam | 00:35 |
| illissius | should it be making a difference whether I'm using kubuntu's KDE packages or KDE from SVN (which I am)? | 00:36 |
| scunizi | Why are the help files for kmail not installed? can't find them in the repos either. | 00:37 |
| illissius | alternately, if anyone knows how to make it give me something more detailed about why it fails than just "authentication failed", that would also be very helpful | 00:39 |
| ryxxed | um | 00:40 |
| ryxxed | sudo passwd user ? | 00:40 |
| scunizi | illissius, have you looked at dmesg? | 00:40 |
| ryxxed | tried that? | 00:40 |
| illissius | ryxxed: yeah I can login normally just fine, it's just setting up autologin which doesn't work | 00:40 |
| ryxxed | what does it say? | 00:40 |
| ryxxed | you can't autologin with a blank password | 00:41 |
| ryxxed | i think | 00:41 |
| illissius | ryxxed: well kdm starts up, pops up a dialog saying "authentication failed", I close it, and then I type in my password and login normally | 00:41 |
| illissius | (i.e. my password isn't blank) | 00:41 |
| ryxxed | misstyped it? | 00:41 |
| scunizi | illissius, have you seen this ? http://linux.about.com/od/kubuntu_doc/a/kubudg35t03.htm | 00:41 |
| illissius | scunizi: i have, kernel log doesn't say much about this... nor does anything in /var/log, far as i can tell | 00:42 |
| SkittleLinux18 | hey everybody, i got a simple question | 00:42 |
| scunizi | no such thing | 00:42 |
| scunizi | but go ahead :) | 00:42 |
| SkittleLinux18 | scunizi: haha... ok | 00:42 |
| mhall | hey i'm pretty baffled by how things are working after i distupgraded hardy to intrepid | 00:43 |
| mhall | so i am in KDE 4, it works, but a lot of the defaults are really annoying | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mhall: in what way? | 00:43 |
| mhall | no problem, right, try to run kcontrol | 00:43 |
| mhall | but it got replaced with systemsettings | 00:43 |
| mhall | so i installed that with aptitude (hey i used debian since 1997) | 00:43 |
| illissius | ryxxed: ...misstyped what? (again, logging in normally with my password works, it's autologin which doesn't) | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | you could symlink it if you want :) | 00:43 |
| mhall | but the content pane is blank | 00:44 |
| mhall | like, i can't tweak any settings of anything | 00:44 |
| SkittleLinux18 | if my kubuntu intrepid has a screen resolution of 1280x1024. then i restart my computer and come back to a screen resolution of 1024x768, with no option in teh GUI's to set it back, how can i get it back to 1280x1024? | 00:44 |
| mhall | all it's got is overview and search | 00:44 |
| ryxxed | oh | 00:44 |
| mhall | the rest is blank | 00:44 |
| ryxxed | rght | 00:44 |
| mhall | i can't figure out wtf i'm supposed to do now, lol | 00:44 |
| mhall | i ran out of ideas | 00:44 |
| illissius | mhall: use systemsettings? :) | 00:44 |
| mhall | illissius: i tried | 00:45 |
| mhall | illissius: but the content pane is blank | 00:45 |
| mhall | illissius: nothing to click on, type into, etc | 00:45 |
| mhall | illissius: only overview and search | 00:45 |
| illissius | oh. I thought you meant you didn't like it and installed kcontrol instead, which didn't work | 00:45 |
| mhall | illissius: like i think i must have some pkgs missing from the dist upgrade | 00:45 |
| illissius | seems probable | 00:45 |
| keres | can someone help me with this problem: http://pastebin.com/d7654dbd6 | 00:45 |
| mhall | illissius: nope, i would be willing to suffer through any interface no matter how bad | 00:45 |
| illissius | aptitude install kubuntu-desktop do anything? | 00:45 |
| mhall | illissius: but i have literally *no* interface to suffer thru ;) | 00:46 |
| mhall | illissius: let me try it in another konsole tab... one sec | 00:46 |
| mhall | illissius: ok it's getting about 14mb of goodies | 00:46 |
| mhall | illissius: then after this log myself out and bounce my kdm? | 00:46 |
| sgroi135 | Can someone please give me a hand. I just istalled Nepenthes using apt-get. That cause it to automatically start. I would like to be able to start from the console so that i can have it running on the screen. Is tehre a way to open so i can watch. Im not sure that if i restart if it will start on reboot | 00:47 |
| scunizi | mhall, in a terminal try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and see if it pulls in things that were missed. | 00:47 |
| illissius | mhall: something like that | 00:47 |
| mhall | scunizi: will do once illissius's kubuntu-desktop finishes | 00:47 |
| vbgunz | is there a way to *list* every single application that comes on the Intrepid CD? | 00:47 |
| illissius | maybe just running kbuildsycoca4 followed by systemsettings will pick it up w/o having to relogin | 00:47 |
| vbgunz | *only* the applications that actually install? | 00:48 |
| mhall | scunizi: no dice | 00:48 |
| mhall | let me logout and login | 00:48 |
| illissius | SkittleLinux18: yeah, that's not a n easy question :). dunno how to solve it w/ xorg autoconfiguring itself these days either... | 00:49 |
| * illissius checks if there's a #pam... | 00:49 | |
| ActionParsnip | vbgunz: find /media/cdrom0 -name *.deb 2>/dev/null | 00:49 |
| illissius | population: 2 :/ | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | vbgunz: oic, er not sure | 00:50 |
| ryxxed | skittlelinux18 : have you tried configuring your xorg? | 00:50 |
| mhall | illissius: good call man | 00:52 |
| mhall | illissius: that totally fixed it up | 00:52 |
| mhall | are there any other metapackages i should manually reinstall just to make sure nothing else is wonky on here | 00:53 |
| illissius | awesome | 00:53 |
| mhall | or am i cool now | 00:53 |
| illissius | think that's it | 00:53 |
| mhall | illissius: i'll owe you a beer next time you end up in norcal | 00:53 |
| illissius | ubuntu-desktop if you also have/need gnome | 00:53 |
| mhall | lol gnome is so... 1995 | 00:53 |
| mhall | ;-) </troll> | 00:54 |
| ryxxed | worst troll ever | 00:54 |
| illissius | mhall: lol. i might take you up on it if I ever cross the atlantic ;) | 00:54 |
| mhall | this laptop does a surpisingly good job of kde4 | 00:54 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: no i haven't. which text file can i manually edit to make the resolution 1280x1024?? | 00:54 |
| mhall | i have an hp mobile workstation 8510w | 00:54 |
| scunizi | illissius, he'll probably buy you a coors light.. | 00:54 |
| mhall | internal quadro board | 00:54 |
| scunizi | :) | 00:54 |
| ryxxed | skittlelinux18 : /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:55 |
| mhall | scunizi: nah i'll get the man an alaska amber | 00:55 |
| ryxxed | for manual edition | 00:55 |
| SkittleLinux18 | thanks | 00:55 |
| scunizi | that's much better.. | 00:55 |
| mhall | ryxxed: you didn't get ryxxrolled by that little troll, eh? ;) | 00:55 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: i'll report back in a few to let you know how i made out | 00:55 |
| mhall | ryxxed: i just couldn't resist making it though :) | 00:55 |
| mhall | scunizi: no point to buying somebody a CL if they do you a legit favor on something | 00:56 |
| ryxxed | k, skittle | 00:56 |
| ryxxed | mhall : uh, yeah, a real man trolls with bug guns | 00:57 |
| mhall | ryxxed: i wasn't trying to say it was a good one | 00:57 |
| scunizi | mhall, how true.. I was drinking a Karl Strauss xmas dark last night.. yummy | 00:57 |
| mhall | ryxxed: after all it's a bit unkind to GNAA a channel that gives good assistance ;) | 00:57 |
| ryxxed | true | 00:57 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: does this channel have a paste thingy where i can paste info to and then send you the link?? | 00:57 |
| mhall | scunizi: haven't had that yet | 00:57 |
| ryxxed | paste.ubuntu.com | 00:57 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: because i am not seeing anything in my file regarding screen resolution | 00:58 |
| mhall | scunizi: i'll have to find some at this local alcohol shop | 00:58 |
| try4ce | does any one know how to get X-Fi drivers working?? | 00:58 |
| d_mitry | alcohol shop? there's a term i've never heard before. :P | 00:58 |
| mhall | scunizi: which has outrageous selection and great pricing... it puts bevmo, riteaid, costco, and sams all to shame | 00:58 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: so i want to send you the text that is in the file | 00:58 |
| try4ce | does any one know how to get X-Fi drivers working?? | 00:58 |
| ryxxed | skittle, that's why you're supposed to edit it | 00:58 |
| mhall | d_mitry: you homebrew yours? it's got to come from someplace ;) | 00:58 |
| ryxxed | i think you can use a GUI now | 00:58 |
| ryxxed | xorgserver -configure | 00:59 |
| ryxxed | or something like that | 00:59 |
| ryxxed | let me check it up | 00:59 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: ok got it | 00:59 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: the code is in the file itself | 00:59 |
| SkittleLinux18 | i'll run it | 00:59 |
| ryxxed | uh, go for it | 00:59 |
| mhall | what can you do to get a larger amount of kde4 color schemes and widget styles | 00:59 |
| d_mitry | well, liquor store is what they say in america, according to music/films that i've heard/seen. i haven't seen any places that sell just alcohol here in england. | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: oddbins | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: im from UK | 01:00 |
| mhall | d_mitry: yeah i don't use standard vocabulary | 01:00 |
| illissius | mhall: kde-look.org? | 01:00 |
| SkittleLinux18 | alright, the code didn't do anything | 01:00 |
| SkittleLinux18 | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 01:00 |
| SkittleLinux18 | that's the one i typed in | 01:00 |
| scunizi | mhall, karl strauss is a san diego beer.. | 01:00 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: ah, ok. | 01:00 |
| mhall | illissius: was hoping maybe there was some extras package or something | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: you been here long ? | 01:00 |
| mhall | scunizi: i'll have my room mate buy me some at christmas time | 01:01 |
| tacidsky | how do i reset my plasma layout configuration to default? | 01:01 |
| mhall | scunizi: he's from LJ | 01:01 |
| try4ce | Hello?? | 01:01 |
| try4ce | does any one know how to get X-Fi drivers working?? | 01:01 |
| illissius | mhall: aptitude search style | grep -i kde maybe? | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | try4ce: very painfully | 01:01 |
| try4ce | eeeew | 01:01 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: four and a half years. i'm not one to go around lookin' for booze, though, considering that i've been eighteen for just over a week. | 01:01 |
| mhall | illissius: yeah good call | 01:01 |
| scunizi | mhall, he'll know it well. If you go to the brewery they even sell it in 1 gallon glass jugs. | 01:01 |
| try4ce | I compiled the kernel and no errors...but no sound | 01:01 |
| mhall | scunizi: we have a place like that here too, beermann's | 01:01 |
| ryxxed | skittle : nothing at all? | 01:02 |
| mhall | scunizi: really fresh beer is impressively good | 01:02 |
| illissius | mhall: yeah, seems KDE4 ones are prefixed kde4- | 01:02 |
| illissius | not many of them | 01:02 |
| mhall | scunizi: there's another one here called sudwerk | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tacidsky: cd ¬/.kde/share/config | 01:02 |

| try4ce | Action--> any suggestions? | 01:02 |
| ryxxed | skittlelinux18 : read this to understand how to manually put in your resolution http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml | 01:03 |
| mhall | scunizi: the gallons can go bad kind of quick if you don't pound them down asap | 01:03 |
| tacidsky | ActionParsnip , thanks :) | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tacidsky: you should see plasmarc , killall plasma, rename that file then rerun plasma | 01:03 |
| scunizi | mhall, good beer is like good scotch... sips and company make the experience much better. | 01:03 |
| mhall | scunizi: true | 01:04 |

| try4ce | thx | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | try4ce: you need to compile the driver for it | 01:05 |
| try4ce | I did that...w/ no errors | 01:06 |
| try4ce | and then installed it into the kernel...how do I know it's installed?? | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | try4ce: thats all i know, i avoid creative. they dont know their ass from their elbow | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | try4ce: lsmod ill show you the drivers installed | 01:06 |
| d_mitry | so roughly how long would an upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 take? | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: depends how fast your connection is | 01:07 |
| sgroi135 | How do i remove something from starting on boot? I installed Nepenthes and want to run from console and not in background. I was able to kill the process and then start manually. but i dont want to do it like that Running 8.10 | 01:07 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: installation only. | 01:07 |
| Ketrel | Does 8.10 fix the problem in 8.04 where I seem to have a choice between blank TTYs and The ability to logout without restarting x? | 01:07 |
| illissius | d_mitry: weeks while you tear your hair out because it's not -ing working, I expect | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: shouldnt be more than an hour | 01:07 |
| d_mitry | illissius: heheh. i hope not. | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: if you have the cds to upgrade from | 01:08 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: hour and 35 minutes. | 01:08 |
| illissius | i'd save /etc and /home and install 8.04 fresh, and then copy /home back (and use /etc as reference) | 01:08 |
| try4ce | thx | 01:08 |
| try4ce | out | 01:08 |
| SkittleLinux18 | ryxxed: ok, i ran through my file and made the neccesary changes. i'm going to reboot and see if it works. brb | 01:08 |
| ryxxed | just restart x | 01:08 |
| ryxxed | never mind | 01:08 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: no, it's been downloaded. 1:35 to install so far, i mean. | 01:09 |
| mhall | how can i decommision KDE4's alt-tab stuff | 01:09 |
| mhall | it's kind of irritating having everything pop out at me | 01:09 |
| illissius | desktop effects | 01:09 |
| illissius | dunno what it's under. thankfully there's a searchbar :) | 01:09 |
| illissius | so no one has any idea how to either make autologin work or at least find out -why- it's not working? | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: it varys from system to system | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | illissius: you could turn it off, then on in systemsettings | 01:11 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: of course. an hour sounds good to me. it looks like it'll finish soon. | 01:11 |
| ryxxed | uh | 01:12 |
| ryxxed | what nvidia driver version should i use again? | 01:12 |
| ryxxed | 173 for smoothes? | 01:12 |
| illissius | I'm pretty sure the problem is something to do with PAM | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | illissius: its worth a try | 01:12 |
| illissius | unfortunately, I'm not sure if there's anyone in the world who understands how PAM works | 01:12 |
| d_mitry | ActionParsnip: how long do you think an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 would take? | 01:14 |
| illissius | ActionParsnip: pretty sure i've tried it at some point... | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: similar, i'd imagine | 01:15 |
| zyxwvutsr | hi. I have a problem with my display resolution settings. I can't get anything above 640x480 even though my display is 1280x800. This happened after a reboot after I had adjusted my gamma settings, but it all worked great before that. | 01:15 |
| illissius | d_mitry: wait, so do you have 6.06 or 8.04, and want 8.04 or 8.10? i'm confused | 01:15 |
| zyxwvutsr | it's a nvidia geforce 6100 | 01:16 |
| d_mitry | illissius: i want to upgrade twice. currently from 6.06 to 8.04. | 01:16 |
| mhall | alright so there is only one thing missing i can't find that i had in kcontrol | 01:16 |
| mhall | i am missing the thing which let me select my modifier key theme for KDE from a list | 01:17 |

| ubottu | zyxwvutsr: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:17 |
| mhall | so i could get a sensible default keybinding setup | 01:17 |
| illissius | oh. I see | 01:17 |
| zyxwvutsr | ActionParsnip, I've already got the restricted driver installed | 01:18 |
| ryxxed | well | 01:19 |
| ryxxed | kde 4.2 beta | 01:19 |
| ryxxed | here i come | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | zyxwvutsr: i think you need to configure your xorg.conf | 01:19 |
| d_mitry | woo. restart time. | 01:19 |
| olskolirc | is there absolutely NO WAY for me to change my clock out of this stupid military time on kde4.1 intrepid? | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zyxwvutsr: to use the new driver | 01:20 |
| zyxwvutsr | changing the gamma would cause it to stop using the new driver? | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | zyxwvutsr: not sure | 01:21 |
| mhall | i have a similar problem to olskolirc, i cannot resize my clock to show all its text | 01:21 |
| olskolirc | my time says 20:21 instead of 8:21 I want it to say 8:21 | 01:22 |
| JontheEchidna | olskolirc: Sytem Settings -> REgional and Language -> Time | 01:25 |
| JontheEchidna | you should be able to change the time format from there | 01:26 |
| mhall | how do i reorder and rezied the widgets? | 01:26 |
| mhall | i cannot figure this out at all | 01:27 |
| d_mitry | woohoo. | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | d_mitry: better? | 01:30 |
| mhall | ok i think this is good enough for now | 01:31 |
| mhall | i'll have to play with kde4 more later | 01:31 |

| ryxxed | reset? | 02:00 |
| andres1 | not reset but reinstall | 02:00 |
| ryxxed | uh, format the partition where ubuntu is and just install it there? | 02:01 |
| ryxxed | is that what you mean? | 02:01 |
| andres1 | i dont know how to | 02:01 |
| ryxxed | how did you install it in the first place | 02:01 |
| andres1 | it came with it i never toch it i just dealt w it cuz it was a gift | 02:01 |
| ryxxed | !install | 02:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 02:02 |
| nosrednaekim | ryxxed: ask the person who gave you the gift :P | 02:03 |
| ryxxed | uh, i'm not the guy reinstalling | 02:03 |
| nosrednaekim | my bad.. worry :P | 02:04 |
| andres1 | ok i do have the ubuntu cd | 02:04 |
| Walzmyn | andres1 what exactly are you wanting to accomplish? | 02:04 |
| andres1 | the problem is its a mini i have an external cd drive | 02:04 |
| rayne | Is Kubuntu better than Ubuntu? Can some one tell me some differences between the two? | 02:05 |
| ryxxed | the GUI, for start | 02:05 |
| nosrednaekim | !kubuntu | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 02:05 |
| ryxxed | !gnome | rayne | 02:05 |
| ubottu | rayne: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 02:05 |
| Walzmyn | Kubuntu uses KDE instead of Gnome, and most likely the folks in here will say, yes, kubuntu is better | 02:05 |
| ryxxed | !kde | rayne | 02:05 |
| rayne | !kubuntu | 02:05 |
| ubottu | rayne: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 02:05 |
| andres1 | i tried goin to the bios to set up from there to reinstall but it wont do it | 02:05 |
| Walzmyn | andres1, the external won't use the mini? | 02:06 |
| rayne | I have Kubuntu installed, for a gaming aspect, is Kubuntu any good? | 02:06 |
| ryxxed | linux and gaming | 02:06 |
| ryxxed | BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA | 02:06 |
| andres1 | wat im tryin to accomplish heris to reisntall ubuntu | 02:06 |
| Walzmyn | rayne, ubuntu and kubuntu use the same base packages, it's (mostly) just the desktop GUI that's different | 02:07 |
| andres1 | i tryed runin the bios n run the cd from there but it doesnt do it | 02:07 |
| Walzmyn | rayne, so for soemthing like that, no difference | 02:07 |
| rayne | Oh, are they alright for gaming? I am installing WoW using WIne, should that be a good experience? | 02:07 |
| Walzmyn | rayne, there are people that do it, but.... | 02:08 |
| rayne | ? | 02:08 |
| Walzmyn | andres1, you'll need to tell the bios to boot via USB, I think | 02:08 |
| andres1 | anyone? | 02:08 |
| Walzmyn | andres1, Is there something broken on your machine? It might be easier to just work though the repos instead of starting over. | 02:08 |
| ryxxed | rayne : maybe, but don't get your hopes up, windows is far superior for gaming | 02:09 |
| andres1 | i did i pluged the external cd drivee i set up the bios but it wont work for some reason | 02:09 |
| Walzmyn | ryxxed, rayne, well, not in and of itself, its just that they've got better drivers | 02:09 |
| andres1 | now i lost most of my menus | 02:09 |
| rayne | The reason for the switch is because my system seems to run so much smoother with Linux, so far I like it very much. | 02:09 |
| ryxxed | and directx | 02:09 |
| andres1 | i only have places and system | 02:10 |
| ryxxed | i like it a lot, but i like to game a lot, so i dual boot | 02:10 |
| rayne | Can I install Direct X using wine? | 02:10 |
| ryxxed | i think so | 02:10 |
| andres1 | ive tryed doing an update but shows n error | 02:10 |
| ryxxed | but you're gonna need some windows files | 02:10 |
| rayne | Like? | 02:10 |
| ryxxed | i don't know | 02:10 |
| Walzmyn | !wine | rayne | 02:11 |
| ubottu | rayne: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help | 02:11 |
| Ketrel | Off topic question: should I make my room smell like Honeysuckle or cupcakes | 02:11 |
| andres1 | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 02:11 |
| andres1 | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 02:11 |
| andres1 | thats what i get | 02:11 |
| Walzmyn | rayne, i'm warning ya, that's going to be a frustating road trying to get stuff to work in wine | 02:11 |
| Walzmyn | Ketrel, cupcakes will make you hungry all the time | 02:11 |
| rayne | What;s a better emulator than wine? | 02:12 |
| Ketrel | honeysuckle it is | 02:12 |
| Walzmyn | rayne, dual booting | 02:12 |
| andres1 | ? | 02:13 |
| ryxxed | most efficient way to automount ntfs? | 02:16 |
| nosrednaekim | ryxxed: add it to your /etc/fstab | 02:17 |
| rayne | Is Linux gaining more popularity? | 02:17 |
| Ketrel | How long does the "calculating files to skip copying..." step take? | 02:18 |
| rayne | It took a while on mine. | 02:18 |
| Walzmyn | rayne, that depends on if you ask that on slashdot or on a MS blog | 02:18 |
| ryxxed | or how fat you are | 02:18 |
| Ketrel | I've been at 15% for about 10 minutes now | 02:19 |
| Ketrel | yet it still moves | 02:19 |
| Ketrel | should I stop and switch to text based? | 02:20 |
| Walzmyn | Ketrel, I had the same issues - turned out to be a dirty CD reader | 02:23 |
| keres | i have 8.10, is it possible to dual boot 8.4, i need 8.4 for compatability with an important application | 02:24 |
| Walzmyn | keres, hehe, this is linux - you can boot those two and one of ubuntu if you want | 02:27 |
| keres | sweert | 02:28 |
| keres | buh, no need to dual boot | 02:28 |
| keres | what is the major advantage of 8.10 over 8.4? | 02:28 |
| Walzmyn | keres, yer moving up to KDE4 from KDE 3.5 | 02:28 |
| keres | kde4, is that it? | 02:28 |
| Ketrel | Walzmyn: of course after I ask, and as I reach for the power button, it works :p | 02:28 |
| Walzmyn | I'm sure everything else got updated as well, but that's the primary difference | 02:29 |
| keres | Walzmyn, can you download ubuntu 8.4, then install kde4? | 02:29 |
| keres | or will it miss dependencies? | 02:29 |
| Walzmyn | Ketrel, always - my dad would always get a bolt loose with pliars just as I got to him with the wrench | 02:29 |
| Walzmyn | keres, you can. I'm on 8.4 and running a ton of KDE4 apps but still using KDE3.5 | 02:30 |
| Walzmyn | keres, what is the app you need compatability with? | 02:30 |
| keres | Walzmyn: netradiant | 02:31 |
| Walzmyn | keres, if you're on 8.4 and install KDE4 it installs the entire thing in a seperate location beside KDE3.5 - then you can choose which one you want when you log in | 02:31 |
| keres | Walzmyn: i do that with gnome and kde4 currently | 02:31 |
| Walzmyn | keres, /nod | 02:31 |

| === dumbpoet is now known as hope4gorilla | ||
| hope4gorilla | Awesome. | 03:45 |
| hope4gorilla | Thanks | 03:46 |
| tacidsky | yep | 03:46 |
| ubuntu__ | anyone? | 03:46 |
| ubuntu__ | do I really have to boot in Ubuntu just to partition my disk? | 03:46 |
| ubuntu__ | I mean | 03:46 |
| ubuntu__ | ... | 03:46 |
| tacidsky | ubuntu__ goto ##linux and ask your questiomn | 03:47 |
| hope4gorilla | When I try to register my nick, why am I told that an email is not valid, when it clearly is? | 03:48 |
| hope4gorilla | Anyone here use tellico? | 03:50 |
| tacidsky | is that an ISP ? | 03:57 |
| hope4gorilla | Ha, no.. it's a linux program that requires kde.. the only reason that I'm running kubuntu. | 04:00 |
| hope4gorilla | Though I agree it sounds like an ISP. | 04:00 |
| tacidsky | oh looks cool | 04:01 |
| hope4gorilla | I'm trying to figure out how to modify a python script for the program, but the python channel requires some kind of nickname registration that I can't figure out. | 04:02 |
| hope4gorilla | I plan to use it to manage my MP3 tags. | 04:03 |
| tacidsky | #python ? | 04:03 |
| hope4gorilla | Kind of bends it's purpose.. but it has some features that I can't find elsewhere. | 04:03 |
| tacidsky | doesnt look like it has a registration, | 04:03 |
| hope4gorilla | "channel" "you need to be identified to join that channel" | 04:03 |
| tacidsky | oh, maybe because i am already registered. im an idiot. | 04:04 |
| hope4gorilla | Haha, it's cool. | 04:04 |
| tacidsky | um you could always use http://10minutemail.com/ to get an email there if yours isnt working | 04:05 |
| hope4gorilla | Right now I'm hung up on providing the email.. it doesn't like any of the 3 I've used so far. | 04:05 |
| hope4gorilla | gmail, and 2 different .edu ones.. | 04:05 |
| tacidsky | hm lame | 04:05 |
| tacidsky | oh man, i just connected to via SSH on my blackberry, so cool | 04:07 |
| hope4gorilla | crackberry.. mmm.. | 04:08 |
| tacidsky | Yeah I just got the storm | 04:08 |
| hope4gorilla | Really? is it an "iphone killer"? | 04:08 |
| tacidsky | never used an iPhone so i couldnt say. but I do enjoy it better than my old Motorola Q | 04:08 |
| hope4gorilla | I'm not really up on all this stuff, but some of my friends talk about it like it's a sport.. | 04:09 |
| tacidsky | takes a bit getting used to the on screen keyboard though. | 04:10 |
| tacidsky | did you try the 10minute mail thing ? | 04:10 |
| hope4gorilla | I was going to try 1 more email that I remembered.. but I've lost the registration command | 04:10 |
| tacidsky | i think its just /msg nickserv register email password | 04:11 |
| hope4gorilla | I think I'm just going to go to bed for now.. but thanks for the help, have fun with your gadget :) | 04:12 |
| tacidsky | have fun. Good luck with tellico | 04:12 |

| tacidsky | I'm Still Alive | 04:50 |
| iloveoop | me too | 04:50 |
| SmaulUnix | sweet, I am somewhat of a noob to linux, I have 1 small question | 04:51 |
| SmaulUnix | in grub, is there a code i can use to add line breaks between the boot options? | 04:51 |
| tacidsky | why would you want line breaks? | 04:51 |
| SmaulUnix | i'm weird | 04:52 |
| tacidsky | lol | 04:52 |
| SmaulUnix | i'm reading up and have not found anything that would allow that | 04:52 |
| SmaulUnix | i did get some neet colors going on though in grub lol | 04:52 |
| tacidsky | nice | 04:52 |
| tacidsky | i've never dealt with grub, i either manually select which hard drive to boot, or its always worked perfectly for me | 04:53 |
| SmaulUnix | I got it dual booted with XP so it loads for me, | 04:53 |
| SmaulUnix | grub that is, | 04:53 |
| tacidsky | I just select which hard drive to boot via the motherboards commands | 04:54 |
| tacidsky | its easy when you have three different sized hard drives. | 04:54 |
| SmaulUnix | but where it says Other Operating Systems i wanted to put spaces there to clean it up a little | 04:54 |
| SmaulUnix | Sweet | 04:54 |
| tacidsky | hmm. | 04:54 |
| tacidsky | you could just echo a blank line? | 04:54 |
| SmaulUnix | just make 1 line saying echo ? | 04:55 |
| tacidsky | naw | 04:55 |
| tacidsky | like a blank title line | 04:55 |
| SmaulUnix | ah I tried that, you should see what that does lol | 04:55 |
| tacidsky | lol whats it do ? | 04:55 |
| SmaulUnix | makes all the options below it disappear and when you move the line you pick with the arrows it brings them back onto the screen | 04:56 |
| SmaulUnix | kind of weird, so it makes them like they are hidden | 04:56 |
| tacidsky | ha nice | 04:57 |
| SmaulUnix | i havent been able to find anything on doing this in google, it is hard to search for | 04:57 |
| SmaulUnix | i dont think anyone really bothers to do it | 04:57 |
| SmaulUnix | or knows enough and just does it | 04:57 |
| tacidsky | hmm.. | 04:58 |
| tacidsky | just have title with a dor ? | 04:58 |

| SmaulUnix | what irc client are you using? | 04:59 |
| tacidsky | xchat | 04:59 |
| SmaulUnix | ah, i am trying out konversation | 04:59 |

| tacidsky | or pidgin | 05:00 |
| SmaulUnix | lol | 05:00 |
| tacidsky | no luck yet :( | 05:04 |
| tacidsky | did you try the title . | 05:04 |
| tacidsky | ? | 05:04 |
| SmaulUnix | nah, not yet, dont wanna reboot to test | 05:04 |
| SmaulUnix | i am on the system now | 05:04 |

| Ketrel | What do you have to do to get mp3 support and other things like that in 8.10? | 05:06 |
| tacidsky | install the codecs? | 05:06 |
| SmaulUnix | alright thanks man, | 05:07 |
| SmaulUnix | brb | 05:07 |
| Ketrel | isn't there something odd you have to do to even get the codecs? | 05:07 |
| tacidsky | hmm no idea. lemme try! | 05:08 |
| tacidsky | use amarok | 05:09 |
| === paul__ is now known as SmaulUnix | ||
| tacidsky | no one responded yet smaul | 05:10 |
| SmaulUnix | thanks, | 05:10 |
| tacidsky | did it work? | 05:10 |
| SmaulUnix | doing that replaced the line that says Other Operating Systems with the . | 05:10 |
| tacidsky | yah, Ketrel, just use amarok and then play an mp3 file, it will tell you to install the codecs, then it will install them and restart amarok | 05:11 |
| tacidsky | SmaulUnix hm thats weird | 05:12 |
| Ketrel | I don't have any mp3s handy I'm in synaptic trying to get everything setup | 05:12 |
| SmaulUnix | in my menu.lst i had this | 05:12 |

| SmaulUnix | and only the . showed on to the boot up | 05:12 |
| tacidsky | thats a good solution! | 05:13 |
| SmaulUnix | he has a better reason for doing it lol | 05:14 |
| tacidsky | aw hes so nice to his daddy. | 05:15 |
| tacidsky | so yah, do you understand what its doing? | 05:15 |
| tacidsky | its basically making a fake kernel and fake initrd, so it wont boot anything | 05:16 |
| SmaulUnix | ya i may try it. Not a big deal really, just trynig to be different | 05:17 |
| tacidsky | lol and just use \t for a title! lol | 05:17 |
| Zehava | I installed kubuntu 8.10 from live CD, everything works great, until...I try to play a game and it says I don't have opengl 2.1. which if I"m reading correctly is due to bad or not up to date nvidia drivers. | 05:18 |

| dwidmann | runpain2: you could put a .desktop file in ~/.kde/Autostart | 06:07 |

| tacidsky | hi9 | 07:21 |
| tacidsky | hi* | 07:21 |
| Neremor | i gonna use compiz now but i don't know wich window manager and wich window decorator is the best... | 07:21 |
| Neremor | which one may you recommend? | 07:21 |
| tacidsky | which ones have you used? | 07:21 |
| Neremor | i'm on kde so i used kwin right now | 07:21 |
| tacidsky | its all preference. One person may say one thing, and another may say a different thing. | 07:22 |
| Neremor | but i want one that is highly customizable... | 07:22 |
| Neremor | i mean with your own skins | 07:22 |
| tacidsky | Oh I've never tried skinning so I can't help you there | 07:22 |
| Neremor | for wich one are the most skins written? | 07:22 |
| Neremor | hm | 07:22 |
| Neremor | np ;) | 07:23 |
| tacidsky | check kde-look.org or gnome-look.org | 07:23 |
| Neremor | i do but there are themes for many window decorators | 07:23 |
| Neremor | i don't think i can use kwin as the window manager and compiz-decorator es window decorator, can i? | 07:24 |
| Neremor | ok in kde-look the most skins are for beryl | 07:25 |
| Neremor | but i think beryl is something like compiz but for gnome and not a real window manager? | 07:25 |
| tacidsky | i thought beryl and compiz joined? | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | !beryl | 07:25 |
| ubottu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 07:25 |
| tacidsky | woo I was right :) | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | Beryl is dead | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | and with the new features of kde 4 - You may want to explore them instead of messign with compiz | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | :) | 07:26 |
| tacidsky | I'd wait until KDE4 was less buggy.. Its been a pain to me. :( | 07:26 |
| tacidsky | I remember my first experience with KDE4.. Some reason after every install the System fonts were HUGE, so i couldnt do anything and the windows were so small, it was very comical. | 07:27 |

| andrew_ | by the way which sound system should be installed, alsa or pulse auduo? Looks like I have both | 07:34 |
| tacidsky | never heard of pulse | 07:34 |
| tacidsky | but then again im not the best person to ask | 07:34 |

| andrew_ | mkquist: Ok, I'll install it now. I've just uninstalled pulse audio... Let me take a look | 07:40 |
| mkquist | andrew_: open a terminal and type alsamixer | 07:40 |

| andrew_ | mkquist: some text-mode app appears | 07:41 |
| andrew_ | Colored as antique TMail :) | 07:42 |
| mkquist | andrew_: should be a box with sliders and color bars, use arrow key to go side to side and move sliders up/down... | 07:42 |
| andrew_ | mkquist: I see six sliders. master, bass, tone show level about 50% and PCM cent, front and LFE - 100% | 07:45 |
| mkquist | andrew_: might try moving them up/down and see if it makes a difference w/you sound problem. | 07:46 |

| tacidsky | I KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE! | 07:48 |
| andrew_ | mkquist: Yes, I can adjust volume in videoplayer from there. But after uninstalling pulseudio amarok becomes quiet again :( Looks like I must have both sound managers installed - alsa and pulse | 07:49 |
| andrew_ | So I have at least two problems with sound: no sound from TV-tuner, attached to AUX on Audigy and persistent problem with skype, which is able to play test sound, but fail to make calls | 07:50 |
| mkquist | andrew_: i think you can change the driver in amarok to use another driver | 07:50 |
| hyper_ch | JontheEchidna: are you online? | 07:51 |
| andrew_ | mkquist: Yes, I've tried to switch amarok to alsa manually: no sound. It plays only via pulseaudio | 07:52 |
| mkquist | andrew_: hmm, well it was just a thought, cant say I've played around with amarok a whole lot... | 07:53 |
| RandyCalifornia | what do u need to know about amarok? | 07:53 |
| andrew_ | Amarok? - It does not make sound via alsa | 07:54 |
| RandyCalifornia | [andrew_] go to settings ---> configure amarok | 07:55 |
| RandyCalifornia | and click where it says "OSD" | 07:55 |

| RandyCalifornia | try "OSS" | 07:56 |

| RandyCalifornia | try "oss" | 07:57 |
| andrew_ | Done! No sound yet | 07:57 |
| andrew_ | How the videoplayer managed to make sounds... | 07:58 |
| andrew_ | I mean dragon player. | 07:58 |
| vbgunz | are there any themes that help make KDE3 mix in well with KDE4 yet? | 07:58 |
| RandyCalifornia | :S try another output | 07:59 |
| andrew_ | Which one? I've just uninstalled pulse, so Amarock now crashes if pulse selected. | 08:00 |
| andrew_ | There are these outputs: auto, pulse audio, alsa, oss, and file. That's it | 08:01 |
| andrew_ | alsa and oss are silent as a fish. Via pulse it works if pulse installed. | 08:02 |
| RandyCalifornia | it should work with oss | 08:06 |
| RandyCalifornia | do u have xine installed? | 08:06 |
| andrew_ | Yes | 08:07 |
| andrew_ | As I've written before it works via pulse audio | 08:07 |
| andrew_ | xine engine, not xine player | 08:08 |

| andrew_ | Whan I'm trying to switch it to pulse. And it still quiet when alsa is selected | 08:19 |
| === warren_ is now known as htrejh | ||
| andrew_ | sorry, for misstyping "When" | 08:19 |
| RandyCalifornia | oss is quiet too, right?? | 08:19 |
| andrew_ | yes | 08:19 |
| andrew_ | But kde plays windows effects, dragon player works | 08:20 |
| RandyCalifornia | when I get that message, I'm still able to play songs | 08:20 |
| RandyCalifornia | install Xine Player | 08:20 |
| RandyCalifornia | the full player | 08:20 |
| RandyCalifornia | and then restart x-server | 08:20 |
| RandyCalifornia | make sure the audio driver on systems settings is selected "Auto" | 08:21 |
| RandyCalifornia | or you just may use xmms | 08:21 |
| andrew_ | Is the xine player able to work with collections, etc? | 08:21 |
| RandyCalifornia | no, but it may solve ur problem with amarok | 08:21 |
| andrew_ | Ok, I'll try it a bit later. Now please help me with the updates. It says about 162 updates available, but fails to download them | 08:22 |
| andrew_ | It worked for 15 minutes and downloaded many files, but then it failed. I've tried several times, changing the source server | 08:24 |

| nuvias | hey if I have kubuntu 8.04 how do I upgrade to 8.10? | 08:24 |
| hyper_ch | andrew_: what do you want to do? | 08:25 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades/Kubuntu | 08:26 |
| nuvias | thx | 08:26 |
| andrew_ | I've just permitted the auto-update to do its job and do not annoy me anymore. But it fails to update | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | andrew_: open the terminal and run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | andrew_: and close synaptic and adept or whatever package manager you use | 08:27 |
| andrew_ | So, I should not trust the auto-update applet which is sitting in the tray? If so, how to get rid of it? | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | andrew_: where did I say you should not trust it? | 08:29 |
| andrew_ | sorry, you dont | 08:30 |
| andrew_ | you didnt | 08:30 |
| hyper_ch | andrew_: ;) running updates from the command line gives you feedback ;) | 08:31 |
| hyper_ch | andrew_: whether it works and where problems might be | 08:31 |
| andrew_ | Thnk you. I'll try it immediately after adept finishes current operation | 08:32 |

| Ketrel | eppan: ye | 08:45 |
| Ketrel | *yes | 08:45 |
| Ketrel | I see the screensaver area | 08:45 |
| Ketrel | there' just nothing listed | 08:45 |
| RandyCalifornia | change the screensaver in system settings | 08:45 |
| Ketrel | except for blank and random | 08:45 |
| RandyCalifornia | or press "F2" and run "kcontrol" | 08:45 |
| Ketrel | RandyCalifornia: I know where to change it, I just have none | 08:46 |

| eppan | Ketrel: tried apt-cashe search screensaver | grep kde ? | 08:51 |
| Ketrel | eppan I just remembered to do that :p | 08:54 |
| Ketrel | Why do screensavers such as "Flipscreen3d" never work? | 08:55 |

| macjason0607 | question .. if i make a folder that has mp3's into an iso .. can i just burn the iso to a cd and it will be an mp3 cd ? | 08:56 |

| eppan | macjason0607: that will work for my mp3 player...not sure about every player | 08:58 |
| macjason0607 | hmm.. | 08:58 |
| macjason0607 | eppan, i want to make multiple cd's | 08:58 |
| Ketrel | macjason0607: is your goal to just have a CD with mp3s on it or an audio cd? | 08:59 |
| RandyCalifornia | totem won't install :S | 08:59 |
| RandyCalifornia | it says that the install is broken | 09:00 |

| eppan | ye,...typo.....cant tab commands in here :S | 09:02 |
| andrew_ | Hello again | 09:02 |
| dwidmann_ | macjason0607: yeah, or (easier), just add the files/folders you want in k3b and burn it as a data cd ... most things that can play mp3 cds will treat each folder as an album and provide functionality for switching albums | 09:04 |
| nuvias | hey i've downloaded firefox but i must open it by some firefox script. i want to have it in internet tab or on desktop, how to do that? | 09:06 |
| ryxxed | make a shortcut to the script, i don't get your situation completely? | 09:07 |
| nuvias | i have unpacked the tar.bz2 file into 'firefox' folder. i have a list of weird files in it. and there's a script called 'firefox'. it always starts installation, but it doesn't install itself | 09:08 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: why do you "download" firefox? | 09:09 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: you should install it from the repos | 09:09 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: sudo apt-get install firefox | 09:09 |
| nuvias | ahaa | 09:10 |
| eppan | nuvias: do you have attributes and premissions sett correctly? | 09:10 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: (1) most of the software is available in the repositories | 09:10 |
| nuvias | i don't know, i am new in Kubuntu | 09:10 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: (2) you can add more repositories - if you trust them | 09:10 |
| hyper_ch | nuvias: I'd urge you to have a read through here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php | 09:11 |
| eppan | nuvias: it is smart to stick to the repo's for installing programs in the beginning. | 09:11 |

| Ketrel | Does synclient and syndaemon exist for 8.10? | 09:14 |
| hyper_ch | Ketrel: what are they supposed to do? | 09:16 |

| Ketrel | anyway, another question, my xorg.conf in /etc/X11 looks very empty | 09:22 |
| Ketrel | is it in another place in 8.10? | 09:22 |

| Ketrel | Where would the load statment for the synaptics driver be located? | 09:23 |
| peabody_ | Does anyone here use news? I'm trying to find a good usenet client, and I have two simple requirements, nzb and ssl support. The program nzb SAYS it supports SSL, but it is riddled with bugs that the options interface won't close once opened, program crashes, and SSL is ONLY supported on port 443, not 119. | 09:23 |
| Ketrel | I need to find the "Section "InputDevice"" | 09:23 |
| Ketrel | and add a line | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | Ketrel, for my laptops I dont need to mess with them. I guess i could check my xorg.conf - but im pretty sure they are not listed in my machines | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | You want to tweak the synaptics stuff? | 09:24 |
| Ketrel | dr_willis in order to tweak it, I need to add a line | 09:25 |
| peabody_ | I've tried KLibido, but it hangs on the first queue item, and it doesn't have SSL support, and it stops the queue after about 4 files saying there's a file IO error, but there's nothing wrong with my disk. The FAQ for klibido says to delete the queue and try again, but omg how fucking annoying is it to have to requeue your entire que every 5 files? | 09:25 |
| Ketrel | but that whole section isn't in xorg.conf anymore | 09:25 |
| Ketrel | I need to know where it is | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | Ketrel, if you find a example xorg with the lines you can add them all to it. | 09:25 |
| peabody_ | I've tried wine + newleccher, which is what I'm used to but it won't install my newsleecher key under wine | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | cut/paste the whole sexction - i think it will override any auto-detected settings | 09:26 |
| Ketrel | but where is it now is my question | 09:26 |
| peabody_ | Buehler? | 09:30 |
| Ketrel | dr_willis: do you know where? (it's important because if I don't disable tapping, I always screw up by accidently brushing against it) | 09:30 |
| Ketrel | I really want to avoid running a system wide grep :( | 09:31 |
| Mamarok | Ketrel: updatedb, then locate | 09:32 |
| Ketrel | locate WHAT | 09:32 |
| Ketrel | I don't know what file it's in | 09:32 |
| Mamarok | locate thepackageyouarelookingfor | 09:32 |
| Ketrel | I'm not looking for a package | 09:32 |
| Mamarok | oh, then try apt-cache search | 09:32 |
| Ketrel | I'm looking for a section in a config file | 09:32 |
| Mamarok | Ketrel: what are you looking for exactly? | 09:33 |
| Ketrel | I need the InputDevice section from xorg.conf as I need to add a line to it, but that section no longer exists in what ever this new way is. | 09:33 |
| gr8n0wn | hi, all my online-games suddenly cant connect to the internet, it worked well before,any1 know what i can do to find the problem? | 09:34 |
| Ketrel | It has to be stored somewhere | 09:35 |
| Mamarok | Ketrel: why not add it then? you can override Xorg.conf with adding your personal settings | 09:36 |
| Ketrel | Because I don't know exactly WHAT to override | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | the default settings have been removed from xorg.conf a while ago | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | Ketrel, I recall there being some synaptic 'tweak/tools' in the repos to allow disabling of those settings | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | Ketrel: what laptop do you have? | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | I bet the ubuntu/kubuntu forums also discuss this Ketrel - ive seen many people ask about it.. My own laptp has a 'off' button on the touchpad i normally leave it off. | 09:38 |
| Ketrel | Sony Vaio | 09:38 |
| Ketrel | dr_willis: there ARE solutions | 09:38 |
| Mamarok | you should have a shortcut on your laptop for disabling the touchpad then | 09:38 |
| Mamarok | like FN with something, read the specs of your laptop | 09:38 |
| Ketrel | I don't want to disable the touchpad | 09:38 |
| Ketrel | I want to disable TAPPING | 09:38 |
| Mamarok | it's hardware driven, so no need to do thid in software | 09:38 |
| Ketrel | I still use it as a mouse | 09:38 |
| Ketrel | Ok, let me start fresh. | 09:39 |
| Mamarok | Ketrel: depends on your acpi settings then, not sure you can change that, did you google for your particular laptop? | 09:39 |
| Ketrel | I wish to disable tapping, I know the command to use "synclient TapButton1=0 | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | if you find an older xorg.conf via google. or in the forums. In theory you could cut./paste the whole section to the new minimal xorg.cnf. but i do not know what setting disables it.. | 09:39 |
| Ketrel | I did this PERFECTLY in 8.04 | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | With the latest xorg.conf the synaptic drivers have been radically changed. I dont think synclient works any more | 09:39 |
| Ketrel | I just need to enable SHMConfig | 09:40 |
| Ketrel | That's all I need to do | 09:40 |
| Ketrel | but I need to add it to a section in xorg that no longer exists | 09:40 |
| Ketrel | If synclient doesn't work, why would it be included in the install without me installing it? | 09:41 |
| dr_willis | Got your old xorg.conf handy? You could in theory just use it... | 09:41 |
| Ketrel | all I wish to do is enable SHMConfig | 09:41 |
| Ketrel | I know what to do from there | 09:41 |
| dr_willis | cut/paste an example Section "InputDevice" | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | , to the end of the xorg.conf Might work. | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | like the ones shown at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=975421 | 09:42 |

| Ketrel | Note how he added options to the InputDevice section, a section which is MISSING from mine | 09:52 |
| Ketrel | the reason I can't add it is becasue I don't know what to put for some of them, such as device | 09:52 |
| dr_willis | You cut/paste the WHOLE section from his notes to the end of the xorg.conf - is what i am gathering from the forums. | 09:54 |
| dr_willis | as for specific options that are unknown.. i would say comment them out.. and let X auto-set them | 09:54 |

| === user is now known as MrOtacon | ||
| andrew_ | Help me please with my TV-tuner. Today I have installed updates and TV time has stopped displaying channels. | 11:02 |
| MrOtacon | Hello. I wonder if someone can help me please. I have created a kai.desktop file to launch a program called Xlink Kai. Its executable is /usr/sbin/kaiengine. I have added my kai.desktop file (located in /usr/share/applications/kde4/) to a panel so i can quick launch it. However - the program must be run with root rights. It runs fine, if I enter the password, but i do not want to enter the password - i want it to run as | 11:02 |
| MrOtacon | root, but not prompt for password. How do i do this? I have tried to "sudo visudo" and added the line: "user ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/kaiengine", but it still prompts for password | 11:02 |
| andrew_ | RandyCalifornia: I won, My Amarok is working now! | 11:04 |
| andrew_ | ...after uninstalling pulseaudio and editing alsa.conf manually | 11:04 |
| andrew_ | Does anybody have a working analog TV-tuner? Please help | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | MrOtacon, you may want to reread/check some sudo tutoials - i think you can set up what you want with the proper sudo options. OR as a 'bad' way.. (not reccomended) , you could set the suid bit on the executable so every user can run it and that app runs as root. | 11:08 |
| MrOtacon | dr_willis: How do i do that - i want every user to be able to access it without needing root rights | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | set the suid bit on the executable | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | chmod +s /whatever/binary | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | this could be considered a HUGE SECURITY risk | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | oh add a sudo to the front of that command line. :P | 11:10 |
| MrOtacon | ty.. what are the major consequences of me doing this? | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | If for example.. that program can launch a terminal, or other tasks.. they WILL be running as root.. thus that program could delete/change/remove/ most anythying on the system | 11:12 |
| MrOtacon | ahhh - ty... don't really want to do that. Lol | 11:13 |
| MrOtacon | they have the ability to open a firefox window through the app... dont want them having root access in firefox | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | SUDO has a lot of features people dont ever try/learn/read about.. :) thers a lot more to it then just a command ya tack in front of 'root' commands | 11:14 |
| MrOtacon | :) | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | Firfox would be ran as root I belive.. actually you may want to double check that... | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | Im pretty sure it would be ran as root | 11:14 |
| MrOtacon | ok - ty... I'm gonna go and read up on sudo properly | 11:14 |
| MrOtacon | thanks for help | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | i find varioud web sites with sudo config examples.. to be more clear then the docs/man pages at times | 11:15 |

| Mamarok | Ketrel: you have a Nvidia card? | 11:40 |
| hyper_ch | JontheEchidna: the KDE 4.2 PPA repo gives me this error: http://phpfi.com/388271 | 11:40 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: try to override it | 11:43 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: how? | 11:43 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: dpkg -i --force-overwrite and the adress of the kjots source on your computer_ | 11:44 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kjots_4%3a4.1.80-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa2_amd64.deb | 11:45 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: still this won't help with the packages itself | 11:45 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: it will install the kjots package, yes | 11:46 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: I know... kdepim also works without kjots | 11:46 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: but the problem lies in the packaged .deb files... I don't think I'm the only one who gets that :) | 11:46 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: and that error messages doesn't come from the ppa source | 11:46 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: from what then? | 11:47 |
| Mamarok | it's a packaging error, and it takes some time and manpower to repackage it, so be patient :) | 11:47 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: that's a dpkg message | 11:47 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: an error in the packages... isn't that what I said? | 11:47 |
| Mamarok | hm, yes :) | 11:48 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: :) well, I didn't know where else to post about this issue.... and apachelogger told me that JontheEchidna is the maintainer of the PPA KDE 4.2 repo | 11:48 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: I think he knows about that already, as others have posted the same errors here too | 11:49 |

| hyper_ch | Mamarok: seems the nightly building is not submitting to last.fm... at least not to me | 12:43 |
| nahy | because 8.10 doesn't match with my hardware | 12:43 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: it does, but only from the collection, not when you play streams | 12:43 |
| hyper_ch | nahy: with what hardware? | 12:43 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: I play collections | 12:44 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: the PPA amarok 2 version did submit | 12:44 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: but not anymore | 12:44 |
| nahy | i think it's the problem with my graphic card | 12:44 |

| Mamarok | hyper_ch: it does with SVN, so normally Nightly should as it's a svn snapshot | 12:45 |
| nahy | intel | 12:45 |
| Mamarok | nahy: that definitely works with Intrepid! | 12:45 |
| nahy | and i tried 8.10 | 12:45 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: I don't get any error at all.. which is strange... so I don't even know if it tries to submit | 12:45 |

| nahy | oh no | 12:51 |
| nahy | there was but i didn't use it | 12:51 |
| Mamarok | then something else is borked, that has nothing to do with your graphic card | 12:51 |

| jussi01 | nahy: have you set it to use gtalk? ie. in settings, accounts | 12:54 |
| nahy | oh no im gonna find it | 12:54 |
| jussi01 | webas: first,calm down! :) then, tell me what exactly is the problem? that it installs a lot of stuff? | 12:55 |
| webas | yess..on intrepid new kde 4.1 official.. if i select to install for php or apache...or only one any program, it downloads always so much mb..100mb..70mb.. why? :D | 12:56 |
| RurouniJones | Possibly because it is installing updates while it is at it | 12:57 |
| jussi01 | webas: I suspect it is because apt is now set to install recommends as well | 12:57 |
| RurouniJones | Or because it is downloading dependencies that the progra,m you requested ned | 12:57 |
| RurouniJones | Or that | 12:57 |
| webas | second thing.. if i want to refresh new list of all programs that adept offers..it downloads 10mb.. on old 3.5kde it downloads maybe 1mb.. i mean very fastly..i dont want to use so much bandwitch :| | 12:57 |

| hyper_ch | ShaunR: you need to make user2 also a member of he group of user1 and you need to set umask in such a way that new files will be created with group write access | 14:21 |

| Zehava | I installed compiz-fusuion, or attempted to, through adepts gui and now when I login I get black screen, the desktop flashes for a moment, then it's black. How can I uninstall compiz and it's components from command line please | 14:57 |
| ryxxed | did you install all the dependencies? | 14:58 |
| JontheEchidna | sudo apt-get remove compiz | 14:58 |
| Zehava | ryxxed not sure if I got the dependencies or not, I used the package manager from teh gui, it installed what ever it selected. | 14:58 |
| Zehava | JontheEchidna trying that now | 14:59 |
| ryxxed | sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common | 14:59 |
| ryxxed | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 14:59 |
| Zehava | testing ryxxed will have to restart in a few, but ther were many of those I didn't have yet | 15:01 |
| Zehava | how can I restart X from the console? | 15:01 |
| ryxxed | ctrl + alt + backspace | 15:01 |
| ryxxed | oh | 15:01 |
| ryxxed | wait, never mind | 15:01 |
| ShaunR | to start it I think it'sjust 'startx' | 15:01 |
| ShaunR | or something | 15:01 |
| DoubleD84 | I'm having some issues with power management. More so the fact that my monitor turns off every 15 minutes. I'm running KDE 3.5.10 and I've been using kPowerSave but the settings don't seem to change anything. i've tried modifying the monitor time out in kcontrol under peripherals but it won't let me change it, even under administrator mode. Anyone have any ideas? | 15:01 |
| Zehava | it shows my login screen fine, shows loading up fine, then flashes the desktop for a quick moment and screen goes black | 15:02 |
| webas | you have radeon zehava ? | 15:03 |
| Zehava | nvidia And everything on the vid has worked fine till I loaded compiz | 15:03 |
| Zehava | crud | 15:04 |
| ShaunR | To set it so every newly created file inside User 1 grants r/w/ex access to User2... Would I just ssh into User1 and then run 'umask 0000' to get permissions 777 on that entire userspace? I added User 2 to User1's group | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | howdy | 15:06 |
| graczyk | o loo | 15:12 |
| Zehava | Okay, so installing all of that ryxxed, so I uninstalled all of it again and I still have a black desktop can't see anything | 15:13 |
| Zehava | I can see my mouse...it moves around fine, but it's like there's a black layer over the desktop it's self | 15:14 |
| ryxxed | well, it's not a dependancy issue then | 15:14 |
| ryxxed | maybe you messed up the gui | 15:14 |
| ryxxed | try reinstalling kde | 15:14 |
| Zehava | how do I go about doing that? | 15:14 |
| Zehava | I have kde4 | 15:14 |
| michael_ | how in the world do i get the wired network to stay connected when i first start kubuntu | 15:17 |
| Zehava | michael_ not sure, never had mine disconnect | 15:17 |
| michael_ | well i have to tell the wireless network icon to go to wired everytime i log into kubuntu | 15:18 |
| michael_ | and this something i don't care for, it should be connected the moment i log in without having to tell it | 15:19 |
| Soliloquial | what is the name of the kde window decorator? | 15:19 |
| michael_ | i am using kubuntu 8.04 and the icon is knetwork manager | 15:20 |

| Tm_T | Kwin | 15:20 |
| Tm_T | if you mean it | 15:20 |
| Soliloquial | yes, thank you | 15:21 |
| michael_ | thats why i am not a linux user. its a nice operating system but it hate modems and sound cards | 15:21 |
| ShaunR | yeah but kwin is the window manager, they are not one in the same, are they? | 15:21 |
| ShaunR | michael_: more like the modems and soundcards hate it | 15:22 |
| hyper_ch | michael_: it's not that linux hates those things.. it's like hardware manufacturer don't like linux | 15:22 |

| michael_ | manually have to tell knetwork manager that i am using wired not wireless. | 15:29 |
| Soliloquial | how can I stop compiz from trying to load at startup on kde? | 15:30 |
| hyper_ch | I prefer WICD over knetwork manager | 15:30 |
| michael_ | well that is what starts with kubuntu by default when i installed it | 15:31 |
| michael_ | i wouldn't need to use no network managers at all because before i installed kubuntu 8.04 it defaulted to wired by default | 15:31 |
| michael_ | now since i installed 8.04 i have to manually connect it everytime. | 15:32 |

| dennister_ | michael_: I have no idea on this machine :) new install, and i'm so used to flash 9 working i've forgotten where the directory is | 15:58 |
| michael_ | i know, thats why before i installed this new kubuntu and messing trying to locate the plugins i copied them | 15:58 |
| michael_ | and put them back into firefox/plugins and walla | 15:58 |
| michael_ | because it is a bitch trying to find those driverw | 15:58 |
| michael_ | until you know where the plugin directory is i cannot help you no further. | 15:59 |
| michael_ | on my kubuntu my firefox/plugins is /opt/firefox/plugins | 15:59 |
| michael_ | because i manually installed it there. | 15:59 |
| Tm_T | michael_: why can't you do it thru package manager? | 16:00 |
| dennister_ | michael_: k...perhaps /usr...i'll search :) | 16:00 |
| michael_ | because trust me i reinstalled ubuntu and those drivers should be included but they aren't trust me | 16:00 |
| Tm_T | michael_: no | 16:00 |
| michael_ | i tried the same thing to using package manger | 16:00 |
| michael_ | so instead of pissing around i took a little action ahead of time, copy the freakin drivers to a usb flash drive | 16:01 |
| michael_ | i can send you all those plugins but before i can you just need to find the plugins thats all. | 16:01 |
| michael_ | trust me i been with linux for while and by default those plugins are a pain to install. and trying locate the driver, they want you to compile them yourself, no thank you | 16:02 |
| michael_ | you will catch on what i am trying to say soon if you think about it. | 16:03 |

| hyper_ch | dennister_: kubuntu-restricted-extra installed? | 16:19 |
| dennister_ | michael_: yes, 3.04 | 16:19 |
| michael_ | let me guess you, used the apt get install or do a manual install | 16:20 |
| michael_ | only reason i am asking because i did a manual install and giving you the specs before i can send the files | 16:20 |
| michael_ | because /usr/lib and /usr/mozilla relate to a old firefox. | 16:21 |
| ubuntu__ | I was looking for the xorg.conf in kubuntu live cd... where is written? in which file? it's not in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:21 |
| dennister_ | hyper_ch: actually, while i prefer kubuntu and this channel in particular, this new install is for a kid's xmas present, so it's ubuntu and edubuntu......firefox was therefore installed by default, and I've tried many ways of getting flash installed, apt-get, repositories, etc. | 16:21 |
| michael_ | dennister could i make a simple suggestion, do a manual firefox 3.04 | 16:22 |
| michael_ | then i will give you the plugins and you don't have to mess around hunting. | 16:22 |

| rniamo | i have only : abi-2.6.27-7-generic System.map-2.6.27-7-generic config-2.6.27-7-generic vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-7-generic memtest86+.bin | 16:40 |
| agapito | quel'è la pagina in italiano? | 16:40 |

| rniamo | Mamarok : i've install kubuntu | 16:41 |
| rniamo | 8.10 | 16:41 |
| Mamarok | agapito: ^^ | 16:41 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: yes, but if you haven't installed that package you will not find it | 16:41 |
| rniamo | Mamarok : normally it's not a package | 16:42 |
| rniamo | it's installed by default | 16:42 |
| rniamo | in fact the problem is that grub doesn't find kubuntu | 16:42 |
| captainbraille | does anyone know how to install Amarok 2 | 16:43 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: waht release? | 16:43 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: what is your distro version? | 16:43 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: that's weird indeed | 16:44 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: try to reinstall that kernel | 16:44 |
| agapito | mamarok ^^ | 16:44 |
| captainbraille | kubuntu 8.1 - kde 4.1.3 - and I'm trying to install Amarok 2 from the Latest news on Kubuntu.org | 16:44 |
| rniamo | mamarok : i tryed 3 times and now i have no mre cd :( | 16:45 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: what latest version? | 16:45 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: cd? | 16:45 |
| Mamarok | download it on your system I mean | 16:46 |
| rniamo | mamarok : i'm doing it | 16:46 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: and what is your problem exactly? | 16:46 |
| captainbraille | On Kubuntu.org it says "Amarok 2.0 Released" and it gives some instructions and athis repo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main" but when I Fetch current package list Amarok-kde4 doesn't appear in my list | 16:46 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: still don't understand your words: "now I have no more cd" | 16:46 |
| Tm_T | captainbraille: it's amarok | 16:47 |
| Tm_T | captainbraille: if I got it right | 16:47 |
| amerigo | bye | 16:47 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: and that's not the latest version | 16:47 |
| captainbraille | Tm_T: it's amarok? | 16:47 |
| captainbraille | hyper_ch: anything I should try then? | 16:48 |
| rniamo | mamarok : i burn all my cd | 16:48 |
| webas | anyone noticed this am..bug? no sound at all.but then i turn of pc..the turn-off melody plays normaly.. strange | 16:48 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: kubuntu 8.10 has no kde 3.x anymore | 16:48 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: so I think it's all amarok | 16:48 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: what has burning CD's to do with the location of a kernel on your system? | 16:48 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: well, there's the neon project that makes .debs from the nightly builds | 16:48 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: that would be more up-to-date than the one you intend to add | 16:48 |
| rniamo | mamarok : i can't burn another iso to try to reinstall it | 16:49 |
| hyper_ch | captainbraille: although the one you intend to add is already a lot more up-to-date than the one delivered with kubuntu 8.10 | 16:49 |
| rniamo | mamarok : i'll try to reboot, see U | 16:49 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: does this system work? | 16:49 |
| rniamo | mamarok : no, it doesn't boot | 16:49 |
| Mamarok | rniamo: why not try to reinstall from one of the previous CD's? you don't have to burn the same ISO over again IMHO | 16:49 |
| captainbraille | so is it a problem with the repo? | 16:50 |
| hyper_ch | there is no problem | 16:50 |
| hyper_ch | just different versions | 16:50 |
| dystopianray | amarok can't find any collection plugins and won't start, what's up with this? | 16:50 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: don't suggest people to use svn if there is a stable 2.0 available please | 16:50 |
| hyper_ch | Mamarok: he said something about the latest version | 16:51 |
| Mamarok | dystopianray: what collection plugins are you talking about? what version of Amarok, distro? | 16:51 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: you want to install 2.0, no? | 16:51 |
| dystopianray | Mamarok: 8.10, amarok 2.0 from the ppa repo | 16:51 |
| michael__ | i was helping osmeone here | 16:51 |
| Mamarok | dystopianray: where do you get that error? | 16:51 |
| captainbraille | Mamarok: Yes, 2.0 the same as the News from the Kubuntu website | 16:51 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: did you remove your current Amarok? | 16:52 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: the previous 1.4.x I mean | 16:52 |
| dystopianray | Mamarok: in a dialog as soon as I try to start amarok | 16:53 |
| michael__ | no one should install firefox using apt-get with firefox because flash will not work!!!! | 16:53 |
| captainbraille | Mamarok: no I did not remove my current Amarok. I didn't yet because when I refresh my Package list Amarok-kde4 doesn't appear in my list. | 16:53 |
| Mamarok | hyper_ch: the package name of Amarok 2.0 is amarok-kde4 FYI | 16:53 |
| dennister_ | michael__: glad to see ur back :) | 16:53 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: did you check your sources.list if correct? | 16:53 |
| dystopianray | do I only need to install the amarok-kde4 package or is there more to it? | 16:54 |
| Mamarok | dystopianray: did you bother to read the release notes? | 16:54 |
| dystopianray | Mamarok: yes | 16:54 |
| michael__ | forget kde4 folks!!! | 16:54 |
| dystopianray | Mamarok: is there something i've missed? | 16:54 |
| michael__ | it does not work worth the darn | 16:54 |
| captainbraille | I added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main" to my Third-Party Software tab, and fetched new, but I have not checked my sources.list, how do I check that? | 16:54 |
| Mamarok | dystopianray: you need mysql to build a collection | 16:55 |
| dystopianray | Mamarok: err, no you don't | 16:55 |
| dystopianray | Mamarok: amarok 2.0 uses mysql embedded | 16:55 |
| * Mamarok is afk, brb | 16:55 | |
| Mamarok | dystopianray: I know :) | 16:57 |
| dystopianray | is there a gpg key for the ppa repo? | 16:58 |
| jussi01 | no | 16:59 |
| dystopianray | ok | 16:59 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: are you sure your package list did refresh? sometimes mirrors are broken | 17:00 |
| dystopianray | ah I figured out my problem, I accidently had the hardy repo set for intrepid | 17:01 |
| captainbraille | It goes by fast, and it looked like it says "failed" if it's a broken mirror, what should I try instead? | 17:02 |
| Mamarok | captainbraille: you use Adept? | 17:02 |
| captainbraille | Mamarok: I do use adept | 17:02 |
| Mamarok | try the main server: in the sources -> edit sources you can change on the lower right side | 17:03 |

| Bou | hello | 17:21 |
| Bou | i'm trying to build kdebase from trunk | 17:21 |
| Bou | but get an error saying that phonon is missing, | 17:21 |
| Bou | yet phonon is installed (built from kdesupport) | 17:22 |
| Bou | does someone have any clue about how to fix it? | 17:22 |
| Mamarok | Bou: you should ask on #kde-devel | 17:23 |
| Bou | ok thanks | 17:23 |
| mhall | OK I have almost got things set up right in KDE4 but it hasn't been easy. I am only missing two things now. First, Alt-F1 refuses to launch my app menu. Second my digital clock is too small and won't resize, and I can't figure out how to get my taskbar panel to be double height like KDE 3 was. | 17:25 |
| mhall | The Alt-F1 broken thing really drives me crazy | 17:26 |
| jussi01 | mhall: try alt+f5 | 17:27 |
| mhall | jussi01: echoes control chars to my konsole | 17:27 |
| mhall | thus i don't think it's assigned to anything | 17:27 |
| jussi01 | mhall: hrm, works with lancelot in 4.2 here - it opens the main lancelot menu wherever the mouse is | 17:27 |
| mhall | what is lancelot? | 17:28 |
| jussi01 | its an alternate menu | 17:29 |
| jussi01 | !info plasmoid-lancelot | 17:29 |
| ubottu | plasmoid-lancelot (source: plasmoid-lancelot): An alternative launcher menu plasmoid for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3~svn860641-0ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 536 kB, installed size 1508 kB | 17:29 |
| mhall | this sucks | 17:30 |
| mhall | i *really* need this to work | 17:30 |
| jussi01 | mhall: try lancelot - its well worth it imho | 17:31 |
| Mamarok | mhall: works here | 17:31 |
| Mamarok | and I didn't have to tweak things at all | 17:32 |
| Mamarok | mhall: what version of KDE4 you talk about? | 17:33 |
| mhall | whatever shipped with intrepid | 17:33 |
| mhall | i think it worked at first then quit after i had perfected my plasmoid layout | 17:34 |
| mhall | now i can't figure out why it quit working | 17:34 |
| Mamarok | that will be 4.1.2 then, or did you update your system? | 17:34 |
| mhall | Mamarok: no funny business... just used standard stuff | 17:34 |
| Mamarok | mhall: well, you probably broke it yourself, as it works out of the box | 17:34 |
| mhall | Mamarok: although i'm willing to use another version if it's considered safe and better | 17:34 |
| mhall | Mamarok: maybe so but how do i unbreak it? ;-) | 17:34 |
| Mamarok | mhall: upgrade to 4.1.3 | 17:34 |
| Mamarok | and I can't tell, don't know what else you tweaked :) | 17:35 |
| mhall | Mamarok: has some improvements? | 17:35 |
| Mamarok | or else, use kde-nightly, works best for me | 17:35 |
| mhall | Mamarok: what apt repo do i use to get it? | 17:35 |
| Mamarok | !neaon | mhall | 17:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about neaon | 17:35 |
| Mamarok | !neon | mhall | 17:35 |
| ubottu | mhall: The Neon Project provides daily Amarok and KDE 4 trunk builds as packages for Kubuntu | See http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon and http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon/KDE/Info for more | Support in #amarok.neon | 17:35 |
| mhall | and what do you do to get 4.1.3? | 17:36 |
| mhall | maybe i'll try that first since it's not a scary trunk release | 17:36 |
| Mamarok | mhall: check the kubuntu.org website | 17:36 |
| mhall | ok | 17:36 |
| jussi01 | mhall: Id suggest you go to 4.2 in the experimental repo, as detailed on the kubuntu.org page | 17:36 |
| Mamarok | jussi01: bold move, kde 4.2 is not stable at all, plasma eats the CPU with big regularity | 17:37 |
| Mamarok | mhall: if you need a productive setup, don't use 4.2 other than with the neon packages | 17:38 |
| jussi01 | Mamarok: curious, Im running it here with minimal issues. however, it is totally up to him of course. | 17:38 |
| mhall | yeah i don't want anything which eats CPU... this is a laptop install | 17:38 |
| mhall | it's a beefy laptop but i don't want to toast the batteries | 17:38 |
| jussi01 | mhall: if it is a production machine, really keep to the official stuff - 4.1.3 | 17:38 |
| mhall | jussi01: nah not production | 17:39 |
| mhall | jussi01: i have like three laptops | 17:39 |
| jussi01 | mhall: ok then. Im running 4.2 from the experimental repos with minimal probs on my lappy here. take that howeever you like ;) | 17:39 |
| mhall | interesting... it appears i have 4.1.3 already | 17:40 |
| mhall | probably because i have the backports repo available | 17:40 |
| jussi01 | mhall: yeah, 4.1.3 is in backports | 17:40 |

| Adola | I can't install anything untill this is fixed. | 17:47 |
| Mamarok | hm, you must have misstyped something there | 17:47 |
| Mamarok | you mean kubuntu-extras? | 17:48 |
| Adola | No. | 17:48 |
| stdin | Adola: you need to remove the package then | 17:48 |
| Adola | How? | 17:48 |
| stdin | with dpkg | 17:48 |
| stdin | sudo dpkg --remove kubxtra | 17:48 |
| * Mamarok wonders what package that would be, never heard of | 17:49 | |

| Adola | dpkg: error processing kubxtra (--remove): | 17:49 |

| Adola | reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 17:49 |
| Adola | (I got it from kde-apps.org. | 17:49 |
| Mamarok | Adola: then | 17:49 |
| Adola | yes mamarok? | 17:50 |
| Mamarok | try reinstalling it from kde-apps..org, or do you have a package locally | 17:51 |
| Mamarok | ? | 17:51 |
| Adola | I have it locally | 17:51 |

| zer0o | hi guys: everytime i rename a file in a folder with other files the all folder kind of flicks a bit and it takes 2 seconds to make all the files re-appear, plus it starts back from the top of the folder and it's annoying cuz then i have to scroll down till the renamed file to rename the next one, is there a way to avoid that? how does it work? thanks | 17:52 |
| Adola | I'm not sure where kubxtra would be. | 17:52 |
| Mamarok | Adola: you might have to retrieve another copy then, maybe something went wrong when you downloaded it | 17:52 |
| Adola | Ok. i'll try again | 17:53 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: could you say this again, but easier? what package did you use for renaming? Command line? | 17:53 |
| ncfi1013 | what is an iso | 17:54 |
| Adola | http://code.google.com/p/kubxtra/ | 17:54 |

| tacidsky | Is there a way to fix a problem I have in KDE4.1 that when ever I restart my computer, my Widgets reset. | 17:54 |
| Mamarok | ncfi1013: an image you use to burn a CD | 17:54 |
| Adola | It still crashes | 17:54 |

| Mamarok | Adola: no, it doesn't :) | 18:04 |
| zer0o | Mamarok: i want to rename some files in a folder right? so I open this folder with Dolphin, click on a file, rename it. After pressing "enter" to rename it, all the files in the folder flick a bit, and then desappear for about 2 secs. When they re-appear, i'm not in the same spot of that folder (where was the file i renamed) but im back to the top, so i have to scroll down till that renamed file to rename the next one after it... and it's | 18:05 |
| zer0o | annoying! In WinXp when you rename a file and press enter it's done in less than one sec and the folder doesn't move back to the top, the selection remain on that file so that you can easily select the one right undearneath it and rename it if you want, got it now? | 18:05 |
| ncfi1013 | ok thanks mamarok, tacidsky | 18:05 |
| Mamarok | you just shouldn't install things form the outside :) | 18:05 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: What are you trying to do? | 18:05 |
| tacidsky | ncfi1013, no problem | 18:05 |
| stdin | Adola: use quotes: sudo dpkg --force-all -i "/home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386(2).deb" | 18:05 |
| Adola | Just remove this kubxtra package | 18:05 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: well, this is not XP as you can see ;) | 18:05 |
| ncfi1013 | what color are you when i type your names, tacidsky, mamarok? | 18:06 |
| ncfi1013 | mines red | 18:06 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: Known bug It's fixed already | 18:06 |
| zer0o | Mamarok: yes but apparently XP was better | 18:06 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: just tried to rename a file with my Dolphine, it worked without flickering, might be related to your version? | 18:06 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: no, not better, different maybe | 18:06 |
| tacidsky | ew konversation ncfi1013 ? Use Xchat :) and i am red | 18:06 |
| zer0o | DaSkreech: tell me about it please | 18:06 |
| Adola | ..... | 18:06 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: It works fine here. I'm on KDE 4.2 | 18:07 |
| zer0o | Mamarok: then i have to fix that bug DaSkreech is talking about :D | 18:07 |
| zer0o | im on kde3 | 18:07 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: It's fixed already | 18:07 |
| zer0o | on kde3? | 18:07 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: Oh Dear :) umm maybe next release | 18:07 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: well, that's the problem, we mostly are using kde4 here... and there it's fixed | 18:07 |
| Adola | It didn't work. | 18:07 |
| DaSkreech | tacidsky: What's ewww about konversation ? | 18:07 |
| Mamarok | Adola: just remove the package? | 18:07 |
| zer0o | DaSkreech: what distro are you using? | 18:07 |
| Adola | adam@adam-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-all -i /home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386(2).deb | 18:07 |
| Adola | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' | 18:07 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: Kubuntu | 18:07 |
| Adola | dpkg: unknown option -/ | 18:08 |
| stdin | Adola: use quotes: sudo dpkg --force-all -i "/home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386(2).deb" | 18:08 |
| Adola | Sorry, I did. | 18:08 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: What are you tryng to do? | 18:08 |
| tacidsky | DaSkreech, I never liked it, I always install pidgin and xchat. | 18:08 |
| Adola | I pasted the wrong thing. | 18:08 |
| zer0o | DaSkreech: yes which version? | 18:08 |
| stdin | Adola: make sure you typed it correctly | 18:08 |
| Adola | I'm just rying to get Kubextra's out of here. I can't install anything because I get an error concerning it. | 18:08 |
| DaSkreech | tacidsky: I think that much is obvious :) what don't you like about it? | 18:08 |
| stdin | Adola: maybe you missed a space | 18:08 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: how did you try to install it? | 18:08 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: I think he uses 8.10, like me | 18:08 |
| Adola | I first double clicked the .deb. | 18:09 |
| Adola | Then, that didn't work So, I tried the dpkg way | 18:09 |
| Mamarok | Adola: did you change the permissions of the file? | 18:09 |
| zer0o | got it, so you think intrepid ibex is better than hardy? and it works better? | 18:09 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Where did you get the dpkg from ? | 18:09 |
| Adola | www.kde-apps.org | 18:09 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: Don't know about that :) | 18:09 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: it's not about being better, it's newer, yes, and with KDE4 which is different | 18:09 |
| tacidsky | I just dont like the rabs at the bottom | 18:09 |
| Adola | http://code.google.com/p/kubxtra/ | 18:09 |
| raman | help | 18:10 |
| raman | h | 18:10 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: If you like KDE3 then stay on hardy otherwise KDE4 is quite nice | 18:10 |
| tacidsky | tabs* and I know that you can change them, i just like xchat better | 18:10 |
| Mamarok | tacidsky: could you take discussions to -offtopic please? this is a support channel | 18:10 |
| zer0o | you're telling me is not kde4 (beta) any more but is a stable release? | 18:10 |
| DaSkreech | tacidsky: Tabs I assume. I don't have tabs and the channels turn up over there <------- | 18:10 |
| raman | more of a gnome user | 18:11 |
| raman | started kde one week back | 18:11 |
| raman | oh sorry | 18:11 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: That depends on you I suppose. | 18:11 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: Intrepid uses currently kde 4.1.2, and if you are a beginner you shouldn't try it, but wait for Jaunty | 18:11 |
| DaSkreech | raman: That's great but what do you want help with? | 18:11 |
| raman | can anyone help me on how to ask help | 18:11 |
| Mamarok | raman: be specific on what you need help for | 18:12 |
| Adola | I looked in .list and couldn't find kubextra | 18:12 |
| DaSkreech | raman: From us you just ask from a program F1 might help | 18:12 |
| zer0o | im not a beginner any more :D but on my hardy if i wanted to try kde4 it would be the beta version, since i havent checked about ibex i was just wondering if they finally realesed a stable version of kde4 | 18:12 |
| zer0o | and i guess thats how it is | 18:13 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: KDE 4.1.2 is stable, yes, but doesn't have all the features kde 4.2 will have | 18:13 |
| zer0o | got it, and when is it coming out? | 18:13 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: Again it depends on you. I've been using ot for a while and it works fine more my needs. Some people still have things that don't work as well for them as it did in KDE3 so it's beta for them | 18:13 |
| zer0o | when is it going to be realesed? du know? | 18:13 |
| Mamarok | kde 4.2 will be released at the end of January, and Jaunty is planned for April | 18:13 |
| zer0o | got it | 18:14 |
| DaSkreech | Though if you read the topic ... :-) | 18:14 |
| Adola | Nothing is working | 18:15 |
| zer0o | doesnt say much :D | 18:15 |
| Mamarok | zer0o: if you choose to use KDE 4.1.2 (4.1.3 in the backports) just don't complain but help with bug fixing | 18:15 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: What does kubuntu extras do? | 18:15 |
| Mamarok | Adola: why not try dpkg --purge yourpackage? | 18:16 |
| Adola | It supposedly installs things kubuntu beginers need | 18:16 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: Dolphin is very different in KDE4 and KDE3 | 18:16 |
| DaSkreech | raman_: Hi | 18:16 |
| Adola | Mamarok. Could you please god walk me through that. | 18:16 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: I assume you tried sudo apt-get -f install | 18:16 |
| Adola | I'm on dial up normally. But, today, I'm a t a friends house. And, this ismy one chance for a while to get stuff I need.And I can't install ANYTHING untill I fix this. | 18:16 |
| Adola | daskreech : no, I didn't. | 18:17 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Try that | 18:18 |
| Mamarok | Adola: well, type sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq /pathtoyourpackage | 18:18 |
| Mamarok | DaSkreech: it's broken, so apt-get will not work | 18:18 |
| DaSkreech | ah right of course | 18:18 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Do what Mamarok said | 18:19 |
| Adola | sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq /home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386(2).deb" | 18:19 |
| Adola | Is this correct? | 18:19 |
| Mamarok | yes, without the " at the end, unless it's in the package name | 18:19 |
| DaSkreech | Where did that " come from ? | 18:19 |
| stdin | because the name needs quoting, it has '(' and ')' | 18:20 |
| Mamarok | raman_: please ask in this channel, do not query! | 18:20 |
| stdin | and add a space between options | 18:20 |
| Mamarok | stdin: not with the command I gave him I'd say | 18:21 |
| Adola | adam@adam-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq /home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386(2).deb | 18:21 |
| Adola | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' | 18:21 |
| stdin | Mamarok: bash doesn't like '(' and ')' | 18:21 |
| Adola | This is getting depressing. | 18:21 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq /home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386\(2\).deb | 18:21 |
| Mamarok | hm, rename the package? | 18:21 |
| stdin | well, it does like it, but for it's own purposes | 18:22 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: use that ^^^ | 18:22 |
| Adola | dpkg: need an action option | 18:22 |
| stdin | needs --remove probably | 18:22 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: huh What you did you just put in? | 18:22 |
| Mamarok | raman_: stop querying me, aske in this channel!!! | 18:22 |
| DaSkreech | raman_: Just ask your question here | 18:23 |
| Adola | adam@adam-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq /home/adam/kubxtra-8.04-7-hardy.i386\(2\).deb | 18:23 |
| Mamarok | or --purge | 18:23 |
| DaSkreech | raman_: The more people see it the more can help. It also helps to train other people | 18:23 |
| Mamarok | Adola: try adding --remove after the --force-remove-reinstreq | 18:23 |
| Adola | dpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names ofthe files they come in | 18:24 |
| Adola | I'm sorry you guys. But, I am fairly new to linux and...Gah, this makes life so hard. | 18:24 |
| Mamarok | Adola: we will find out, don't worry, that's what we are here for :) | 18:25 |
| Adola | :D Thanks. | 18:25 |
| stdin | ok just "sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove kubxtra" | 18:25 |
| DaSkreech | raman_: Just ask your question here | 18:25 |
| Adola | Umm, can I paste the output of stdin said. | 18:26 |
| Adola | !pastebit | 18:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebit | 18:26 |
| Adola | !pastebin | 18:26 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 18:26 |
| Adola | http://paste.ubuntu.com/85251/ | 18:27 |
| Mamarok | hm, that looks not nice :( | 18:27 |
| Adola | o.O | 18:28 |
| Mamarok | Adola: ? | 18:28 |
| Adola | So...Does anyone one have any idea?! | 18:29 |
| Mamarok | oh, missunderstood your "o.O" for a positive exclamation, sry Adola | 18:29 |
| Adola | It's ok. | 18:29 |
| DaSkreech | Ha ha | 18:29 |
| Mamarok | hm, lets see what else man dpkg gives us | 18:29 |
| stdin | hmm, you need to edit that prerm script | 18:31 |
| Adola | ? | 18:31 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: What error do you get on installing it? | 18:31 |
| Adola | On installing kubextra? | 18:31 |
| DaSkreech | Yes | 18:32 |
| marc_ | I'm new to Kubuntu. I've used debian previously, and have upgraded to 8.10. I believe I'm running the 32bit version, however it's picking my AMD 6000+ up as 1.8ghz. (rather than 3.1, x2 of course). Is this a Kubuntu issue, or a Kernel issue? | 18:32 |
| marc_ | running kernel 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP | 18:32 |
| Adola | http://paste.ubuntu.com/85254/ | 18:33 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: cat /proc/cpuinfo to see how the Kernel sees the CPU | 18:33 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: More info than you care about but it's the best way to see what the Kernel is seeing | 18:34 |
| stdin | Adola: type "sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/kubxtra.postrm" and add a new line with "exit 0" right under "#!/bin/bash" | 18:35 |
| marc_ | yep, i've done that... 1800mhz is 'mhz'. sorta guessed it was probably kernel, but didn't want to rule kubuntu out. (being new, n all.) | 18:35 |
| stdin | Adola: and never install a package from a complete moron again | 18:35 |
| stdin | what sort of idiot would call konsole from a dpkg script! | 18:35 |
| Mamarok | stdin: +1 | 18:35 |
| stdin | and what sort if insane idiotic moron would use it to do "konsole --real-transparency --vt_sz 1x1 --nomenubar --noframe --noscrollbar --notabbar --notoolbar -e rm $HOME/Desktop/kubxtra.desktop" | 18:36 |
| marc_ | I'm guessing that I'm installing latest kernel, from scratch? | 18:36 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: Well the kernel is provided by Kubuntu so ... it could still be :) | 18:36 |
| marc_ | or oes Adept give me choices? | 18:36 |
| Adola | #!/bin/bash | 18:36 |
| Adola | exit 0 | 18:36 |
| Adola | konsole --real-transparency --vt_sz 1x1 --nomenubar --noframe --noscrollbar --n$ | 18:36 |
| Adola | Does that look good? | 18:36 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: be careful of where you install things from is the lesson | 18:37 |
| blabla | can i recover a ext2 file system? i have a acer aspire one and since i pressed suspend to disk there is no /dev/mmcblkp1 just /dev/mmcblk and its unmountable | 18:37 |
| Adola | yes, most certainly | 18:37 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: What do you mean from scratch? | 18:37 |
| Mamarok | stdin: check his package site at Google....http://code.google.com/p/kubxtra/ | 18:37 |
| stdin | Adola: yes | 18:37 |
| marc_ | kernel.org, and start manually. | 18:37 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: possibly | 18:37 |
| stdin | Mamarok: I'm already filing an "Issue" there | 18:37 |
| Mamarok | stdin: good! | 18:37 |
| stdin | and trying not so use too many curse words | 18:37 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: do you know how? | 18:38 |
| stdin | Summary: You're a moron! | 18:38 |
| stdin | steps to reproduce: install the package | 18:38 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: Oh dear no. Kubuntu gives a wide range of Kernel choices. Try the generic kernel it should do a best autodetect or if you lilke the AMD kernel | 18:38 |
| Mamarok | marc_: why would you do this? | 18:38 |
| marc_ | I am running the generic kernel. It's not cooperating as well as I'd have hoped, at least with the CPU | 18:39 |
| DaSkreech | Mamarok: He's new to Kubuntu. He was just asking if Kubuntu only offered one kernel to install | 18:39 |
| marc_ | Mamarok: It's not picking the cpu up correctly, and in tern I have a slow system | 18:39 |
| marc_ | turn* | 18:39 |
| Mamarok | marc_: maybe it's an acpi setting tuning down your CPU | 18:39 |
| marc_ | hmm.. | 18:39 |
| marc_ | on 8.04 it detected it at 1000mhz, 8.10 detected it at 1800mhz | 18:40 |
| marc_ | konversation's 'sysinfo' still reads, or did at last check, 1000mhz | 18:40 |
| Adola | :/ | 18:40 |
| Adola | It....Still differnt work. | 18:40 |
| Adola | Didn't. | 18:40 |
| Mamarok | marc_: if some power saving settings is activated | 18:41 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: Konversation is on KDE3 | 18:41 |
| marc_ | ok, that explains that. | 18:41 |
| DaSkreech | raman_: Still need help ? | 18:41 |
| marc_ | this is 4 now, innit? | 18:41 |
| DaSkreech | You can run KDE4 apps in KDE3 and KDE3 apps in KDE4 | 18:42 |
| DaSkreech | Konversation is an example of that | 18:42 |
| marc_ | hmm... ok i'll reboot, login to cmos and fiddle with 'power saving' settings. if that fails, where do i go to, to install a new kernel? pref. amd version | 18:42 |
| Adola | APT Error. Context: | 18:43 |
| Adola | Package download failed, | 18:43 |
| Adola | I wasn't able to locate file for the kubxtra package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package., | 18:43 |
| stdin | is that from "sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove kubxtra" ? | 18:43 |
| Mamarok | marc_: you might try the AMD kernel form the repos | 18:43 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: do you know how? i have no backup and want to have my data back :( | 18:43 |
| Adola | stdin that's from me trying to install Gimp using Adept | 18:43 |
| marc_ | ok, so using apt in terminal? | 18:43 |
| dsmith_ | how does one arrange the desktop icons on 8.10? | 18:44 |
| DaSkreech | marc_: open adept and scoll down to the section that says linux | 18:44 |
| sourcemaker | !home entertainment | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:44 |

| stdin | Adola: then it looks like it's still installed | 18:44 |
| sourcemaker | !entertainment | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about entertainment | 18:44 |

| Adola | It's still installed.... | 18:44 |
| Adola | ...I really. really need this fixed. | 18:45 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: We are working on it :) | 18:45 |
| marc_ | ok i'll have a play before harassing you kind people again. | 18:45 |
| marc_ | Thanks guys. | 18:45 |
| DaSkreech | sure | 18:46 |
| Adola | Yes, I appreciate it. | 18:46 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: what happens if you type sudo remove --purge kubxtra ? | 18:47 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: on acer aspire one suspend to disk does not work correctly and i pressed on the suspend to disk button but without intention and now there is no /dev/mmcblkp1 any more | 18:47 |
| joseph | is it possible to get ktorrent to stay in its own virtual desktop when loading a torrent from a website? | 18:47 |
| Adola | sudo: remove: command not found | 18:48 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: so what happened when you came out of suspend? | 18:48 |
| joseph | instead of stealing the focus and coming to the active virtual desktop i mean | 18:48 |
| DaSkreech | The computer crashed ? | 18:48 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Argh sudo apt-get remove etc etc | 18:48 |
| Adola | E: The package kubxtra needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive forit.] | 18:49 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: it shut down directly(but normal shutdown), after i rebooted it /home was not mounted, because /dev/mmcblkp1 was away | 18:49 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: can you install and open gparted | 18:49 |
| DaSkreech | It should tell you the raw partitions I think | 18:50 |
| Adola | ... | 18:50 |
| Adola | Nothing. | 18:50 |
| * stdin becomes lost for words and horrified at that package | 18:50 | |
| stdin | it'd EVIL | 18:50 |
| ASCE | hey there. what are the basic commands to install from a .tar.bz2 file. i cant remember them. i remember /make and /make install | 18:51 |
| Adola | Where can I find this..Is there a list that has kubxtra apended toit? | 18:51 |
| DaSkreech | Isn't there a way to just drop that package and rebuild the apt-database ? | 18:51 |
| stdin | why did this person think they had the intelligence do do this? | 18:51 |
| DaSkreech | ASCE: You can't install from a tar.bz2 only extract list and add to it | 18:51 |
| DaSkreech | stdin: Should be interesting to find out if they submitted it to kubuntu and what the comments where | 18:52 |
| DaSkreech | how did they test it ? | 18:52 |
| stdin | Adola: did the command "sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove kubxtra" work? did it say anything? | 18:52 |
| Adola | adam@adam-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove kubxtra | 18:52 |
| Adola | dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled: | 18:52 |
| Adola | Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should | 18:52 |
| stdin | DaSkreech: trust me, it wouldn't get past our QC | 18:52 |
| Adola | reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 18:52 |
| Adola | (Reading database ... 161804 files and directories currently installed.) | 18:52 |
| Adola | Removing kubxtra ... | 18:52 |
| Adola | adam@adam-desktop:~$ | 18:52 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: is there also a command line tool wich shows raw partitions? because kde crashes since there is no /home direcory | 18:52 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: parted but that's hard to use | 18:53 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: Does X work ? | 18:53 |
| blabla | yes | 18:53 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: yes, but after i login kde restarts and shows the login thing again | 18:54 |

| Mamarok | Adola: did it just end there, removing... and then show the prompt? | 18:54 |
| stdin | I'm stunned! | 18:54 |

| Mamarok | oh, yes, forgot that one | 18:55 |
| Adola | Should i remove the "exit 0"? and try again? | 18:55 |
| Mamarok | Adola: no, don't think it will help | 18:56 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: Ok well list the partitions. If you need stronger tools look at testdisk | 18:56 |

| DaSkreech | stdin: What's the status of the "official" KDE3 for Ibex ? | 19:01 |
| Mamarok | we should give out a warning to all users not to touch this package | 19:01 |
| Adola | It worked...Thank you gusy so so so much. I appreciate it so much | 19:01 |
| Mamarok | Adola: you have been very patient, thank you too :) | 19:01 |

| Mamarok | Adola: you are welcome :) | 19:03 |
| stdin | DaSkreech: ask about in -devel for the latest on it. I haven't really kept up-to-date with it | 19:03 |
| stdin | I'm going to compose one hell of an "issue" report and send off an email to the author. I would normally try not to sound patronising to them, but for an idiot like this the only way not so sound patronising is not to say anything | 19:05 |
| Mamarok | stdin: you can sign with my name too if you want, that's just pure hell | 19:06 |
| Adola | Ahh, thanks you guys! Doing the good work by complaining! | 19:06 |
| Adola | ....Another super hard question.... | 19:06 |
| Adola | On Adept..i searched AmaroK....Is "2:1.4.10" the same things as AmaroK 2? Or is it just AmaroK 1.4? | 19:07 |
| stdin | I bet this person learnt some kommander script and though "oh, I'll make something kool!!!1 LOL" | 19:07 |
| Mamarok | Adola: no, its 1.4.10, | 19:07 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: 1.4.1 | 19:07 |
| Adola | Ok. | 19:07 |
| DaSkreech | 10 | 19:07 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: testdisk just detects /dev/sda but not /dev/mmc.. but parted detected the ext2 file system on /dev/mmc... | 19:07 |
| Adola | I have AmaroK 2. | 19:07 |
| Adola | I was just wondering if an update was already out. | 19:07 |
| Mamarok | Adola: no, it just came out last week, be patient :) | 19:07 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: ok but it's not in /dev ? | 19:08 |
| Adola | Ok! | 19:08 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: an update? it just came out like two days ago | 19:08 |
| Adola | AHAHAH, That's why I was like "WTF?" | 19:08 |
| DaSkreech | Or recently :-) I've been a little distracted :) | 19:08 |
| Mamarok | Adola: but bugfixing patches will come out soon, will be named 2.0.1 I think | 19:08 |
| Adola | Ok. | 19:09 |
| Mamarok | DaSkreech: you talk about 2.0 release, do you? | 19:09 |
| Adola | Do any of you use Kopete? | 19:09 |
| blabla | /dev/mmcblk0 is in /dev but not /dev/mmcblk0 wich was the original partition | 19:09 |
| DaSkreech | Mamarok: yes | 19:09 |
| Adola | Because, still, AmaroK 2 doesn't work with Kopete's "Now playing for AmaroK 2" plugin. | 19:09 |
| Adola | What gives there? | 19:09 |
| blabla | /dev/mmcblk0 is in /dev but not /dev/mmcblk0p1* wich was the original partition | 19:09 |
| Mamarok | DaSkreech: just missread the line :) | 19:09 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: can you mount it and see if it is the same? | 19:09 |
| Mamarok | Adola: because the Kopete plugin is for Amarok 1.4. not Amarok 2 | 19:10 |
| Adola | It says "AmaroK 2" | 19:10 |
| Mamarok | it uses dcop and Amarok 2 uses dbus | 19:10 |
| Adola | 2.x to be precise. | 19:10 |
| Mamarok | Adola: the script? | 19:10 |
| Adola | No, a default plugin with the latest version of Kopete | 19:10 |
| blabla | mount output is: mount: Stale NFS file handle | 19:10 |
| Mamarok | Adola: well, if it doesn't work you should ask the Kopete folks, not an Amarok issue | 19:11 |
| Ch1ppy | Hi, every time my box automounts my ipod I get a runaway kded process that takes up 100% CPU and causes all sorts of issues with KDE applications. Can anyone help me fix the issue? | 19:11 |

| * Mamarok uses the ~np with insanity | 19:11 | |
| stdin | I don't use NFS, I tend to go for sshfs | 19:12 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: i have no idea of NFS if you meant me | 19:13 |
| Adola | yeah, I know. | 19:14 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: Yeah I think that there is just a lock but I haven't worked with NFS in a few years so I don't remember how it all works :) | 19:14 |
| Adola | Someone overthere said "Wait for the KDE4 release" | 19:14 |
| Mamarok | Adola: overthere == Kopete? | 19:14 |
| DaSkreech | Of what? | 19:15 |
| Adola | yes | 19:15 |

| DaSkreech | blabla: This room is a good place to ask | 19:16 |
| DaSkreech | You are looking to correct a stale NFS handle. I assume that your ~ is on NFS ? | 19:17 |
| DaSkreech | Feijo: Most likely your DNS | 19:17 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: sorry, what? | 19:18 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: what is +~? | 19:18 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: ~ is your home folder | 19:19 |
| blabla | okay sorry, i just was confused about the + before ~^^, yes it was on the destroyed partition | 19:20 |

| DaSkreech | feijo: You can't ping 192.168.0.2 from the virtual machine ? | 19:47 |
| feijo | no | 19:47 |
| feijo | should I try change my IP// | 19:47 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: Yes it looks like you need testdisk | 19:48 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: no seems like the router is being strange | 19:48 |
| blabla | i already installed it... but it detects /dev/sda only | 19:48 |
| feijo | reset it// | 19:48 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: your virtual machine can go to the routers web page? | 19:50 |

| YAOMTC | Does anyone know if any torrent client is able to download queue-style? Like, downloads one torrent at a time, when one's done start on another...? | 19:52 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: just one line: Reconfiguring network interfaces... [OK] | 19:52 |
| DaSkreech | Hmm ok that's fine | 19:52 |
| YAOMTC | Like what you can do with DownThemAll | 19:52 |
| DaSkreech | YAOMTC: kget | 19:52 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: And you can't see anything outside your own machine ? | 19:52 |
| feijo | no, not even the VMs shares | 19:53 |
| DaSkreech | what happens when you try to ping say mba4.org ? | 19:53 |
| YAOMTC | kget can do torrents? It doesn't say anything about torrents in its description, only downloads...? | 19:53 |
| feijo | unknow host | 19:53 |
| feijo | YAOMTC: no | 19:54 |
| DaSkreech | KDE4 :-) | 19:54 |
| feijo | YAOMTC: I use rtorrent on my shell | 19:54 |
| DaSkreech | Ktorrent has some scheduling but I don't know if that does what you want | 19:54 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: I use kde3 | 19:54 |
| snarkster | why is ettercap considered dangerous to use? | 19:54 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/85286/ | 19:55 |
| YAOMTC | I should use ktorrent anyway, would be better than Transmission (not sure why I'm still using it) | 19:55 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: Ok thats good at least Why is it mounted with loop? | 19:56 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: can you fsck it ? | 19:56 |
| DaSkreech | Korrent is pretty neat. You can enable a small server that will spit up a webpage so you can login from anywhere and add a torrent and manage the ones running | 19:57 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: no more ideas// I'm doomed lol | 19:57 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: Still trying to figure out what's going on. What happens if you tracepath google.com | 19:58 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: it is not mounted, fsck says bas magic number in super-block... superblock unreadable / discribes no valid ext2 | 19:58 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: Well I would surely say do a full backup of the partition | 19:58 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: Unknown host | 19:59 |
| blabla | DaSkreech: how? | 19:59 |
| DaSkreech | blabla: dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/path/to/somewhere/that/can/hold/8GB.part.bkup | 20:00 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: What happenes if you ping 72.14.205.100 | 20:01 |
| Skulblaka | how comes Amarok doesn't support mp3? oO | 20:01 |
| DaSkreech | Skulblaka: Cause the engine you are using doesn't have Mp3 support | 20:01 |

| DaSkreech | Skulblaka: try install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:02 |

| Ketrel | DaSkreech: it doesn't GIVE me an error message | 20:05 |
| DaSkreech | snarkster: Tea? | 20:05 |
| YAOMTC | Do Transmission and KTorrent have different "temporary files"? KTorrent doesn't seem to recognize the files that Transmission made. Do I need to start over when I switch clients? | 20:05 |
| d_mitry | more specifically, how can i have separate taskbars for different desktops? | 20:05 |
| Ketrel | It just informs me that it crashed and I can recoved my documents next time I start it | 20:05 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: 2 lines: search feijo and nameserver 192.168.0.1 | 20:05 |

| rogan | DaSkreech: that worked | 20:10 |

| MrInternet | What is the line for enabling the newest amarok? | 20:10 |
| MrInternet | in sources.lst? | 20:10 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: can you explain in brief what that just did | 20:10 |
| DaSkreech | MrInternet: http://kubuntu.org | 20:10 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: started a window manager. So you could manage your windows | 20:11 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: any idea? | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: If you log out and back in now you should be good from now on | 20:11 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: I just closed that terminal window which created a crash | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: It probably enabled but just later | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: I was about to say don't close the terminal :) | 20:11 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: open the terminal run that command then logout | 20:12 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: thanks | 20:12 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: Ohh ok... can it depend by my new RAM installation? Two months ago I had 1 GB RAM! | 20:12 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: no it shouldn't | 20:12 |
| DaSkreech | Swap is the Hard drive not RAM | 20:12 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: yes I know but the swap size was defines with old RAM size... | 20:13 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: how did you install it? | 20:13 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml | 20:13 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: Yes but that doesn't stop it being used :) | 20:13 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: now I want to say that I see FAILED message every time I start up my notebook... | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | Oh lord | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: | 20:14 |
| Ketrel | Bad idea? | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | Who runs those PPAs ? | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: Since you put in the RAM ? | 20:14 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech not sure, but I will remove them , and try my method from 8.04 then | 20:15 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: sorry? | 20:15 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: You have been getting [FAILED] since you put in the RAM ? | 20:15 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: well I don't know this because before installing the new RAM I had splash enabled on my distro :-S | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: What does the bottom line of the command "free" say ? | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: Ha ha :) I hate the splash | 20:16 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: me too in fact now I disabled it :) | 20:16 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: Swap: 1461872 0 1461872 | 20:17 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: here the bottom line! | 20:17 |
| DaSkreech | Ok your swap is fine it's just taking a little long to mount | 20:17 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: help! | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | so upstart leaves it and moves on | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: SOS! | 20:18 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: situation unresolved | 20:18 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: you ran kwin --replace ? | 20:18 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: its safe using the .deb from the site on 8.10 right? | 20:18 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: yes it works temporarily but not perm fix | 20:18 |
| Nalleman | is it possible to upgrade amarok in any simple way? | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: No clue. I have no idea who runs that ppa | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Do you have session save on? | 20:19 |
| DaSkreech | Nalleman: What do you mean? | 20:20 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: ok thanks a lot for all informations... before saying hello to you I have another little question. What can I use to write some little codes to excecute repetitive operation by terminal? By bash... I mean | 20:20 |
| DaSkreech | !commands | 20:20 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:20 |
| voicu | . | 20:20 |
| DaSkreech | giuseppe_: ^^^^ | 20:20 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: I used the .deb from the openoffice.org site on 8.04, so hopefully it also works on 8.10 | 20:21 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: It does but it stays out of the way of Ubuntu | 20:21 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: When you logout and back in does it remember which applications you had open ? | 20:22 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: yes! | 20:22 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Hmm | 20:22 |
| DaSkreech | should work then | 20:22 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: try kwin --replace & | 20:22 |
| giuseppe_ | DaSkreech: ok... it's difficult to explain... I'll start using google and eventually I'll come back here... thanks a lot for all information and have a nice (day or evening I don't know :))! | 20:22 |
| Nalleman | DaSkreech, i would like to have the latest amarok player but I don't know the best way to install it. | 20:23 |
| DaSkreech | Nalleman: Do you mean amarok 2 ? | 20:23 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: http://pastebin.com/m65f0cac0 | 20:23 |
| Nalleman | DaSkreech, yes | 20:23 |
| DaSkreech | Nalleman: Have you read the release notes for it? | 20:23 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: what do you mean stays out of the way? As in not integrated and uses as default? (Because I dealt with that in 8.04) | 20:24 |
| Nalleman | DaSkreech, no | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: Correct | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | Nalleman: Ok are you aware it's not a functional as Amarok 1.4 ? | 20:24 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: now my task bar is frozen | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: in what way ? | 20:24 |
| Nalleman | DaSkreech, no | 20:24 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: I used the desktop integration (for menus) and then manually set it as the default app for opening the related files. That's all that would be needed right? | 20:24 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: yes | 20:25 |
| voicu | I don't get it, is k-network-manager supposed to handle the connections too or just show what's happening? | 20:26 |
| voicu | it doesn't seem to work by itself, just when editing connections with the gnome applet | 20:26 |
| DaSkreech | Nalleman: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/FAQ#Amarok_2.0_FAQ and if you still want it then http://kubuntu.org | 20:26 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: :( restart after system froze > still nothing | 20:28 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: same problem with the .deb | 20:29 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: ok when did this start happening ? | 20:29 |
| Ketrel | from the official site | 20:29 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: I just updated now updated to kde 4.2 beta | 20:29 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: can you alt+F2 ? | 20:29 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: negative | 20:30 |
| voicu | is anyone else having problems with knetworkmanager? i'm on intrepid and it doesn't handle wired connections, doesn't show available wireless connections, nothing | 20:30 |
| DaSkreech | Terminal open? :-) | 20:30 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: ah :) | 20:30 |
| DaSkreech | knetworkmanager needs love in ibex | 20:30 |
| voicu | OTOH it does show when a connection is activated with the gnome counterpart | 20:30 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: from the terminal type krunner | 20:30 |
| Ketrel | OMG, they STILL haven't fixed the blank TTY problem? | 20:30 |
| DaSkreech | in krunner type kwin | 20:30 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: ok I typed kwin and quickly opened something then quit | 20:31 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Ha ha | 20:31 |
| voicu | DaSkreech: ok, i guess i'll go with that horrible looking gnome thing for now | 20:31 |
| DaSkreech | You think that you can move faster than the computer? | 20:31 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: lulz got it | 20:32 |
| DaSkreech | voicu: ok. Please post bugs about knetworkmanager so that your prolems can be addressed | 20:32 |
| jussi01 | voicu: you need to go to new connection | 20:32 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: any idea why it crashes? | 20:32 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: Run Kwin | Desktop Effects | Windows | 20:32 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Yeah I think I know what was happening. the terminal was closing before the killing of kwin so that it didn't get restored when you logged back in krunner would fix that | 20:32 |
| voicu | jussi01: i know how to create connection, knetworkmanager just doesn't do anything | 20:33 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: Looks like a bad Qt package for KDE 4.1.3 which I don't get as I had OO.o 3 since 4.1.0 and it worked fine | 20:33 |
| jussi01 | voicu: ahh, ok. :) | 20:33 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: ! Error Could not find the program 'kwine' | 20:33 |
| DaSkreech | kwin | 20:34 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: wait, it's a different error this time | 20:34 |
| DaSkreech | ok what's the error line? | 20:34 |
| radlipat | ok how much ram do i need to run 8.10? | 20:34 |
| Ketrel | "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno:RuntimeExeception'" | 20:34 |
| DaSkreech | Ok that's a OO.o error | 20:34 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: kruner > kwin > then If I open Kwin nothing happens | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | Ketrel: #openoffice.org :) | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Can't move your windows ? | 20:35 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: no | 20:35 |
| feijo | back | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: that's not cool | 20:35 |
| radlipat | ok how much ram do i need to run 8.10? | 20:35 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: the only time I can is if kwin --replace < but thats a temp fix | 20:35 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Hmm ok you did that from krunner ? | 20:36 |
| DaSkreech | alt+F2 should work now | 20:36 |
| rogan | no | 20:36 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: nope | 20:36 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: did you had other ideas/ :) | 20:36 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: ok well try it from in krunner | 20:36 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: tracepath to 192.168.0.1 | 20:37 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: try what from within krunner? | 20:37 |
| DaSkreech | kwin --replace | 20:37 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: yes that works.. just like it did in terminal | 20:38 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: 3 lines, mentioning feijo-home.local (that ip) It thinks its my machine | 20:38 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: should I try logging out again? | 20:38 |
| DaSkreech | yes | 20:38 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: go to your router's IP in the VM and see where it gets DNS from | 20:39 |
| voicu | DaSkreech: I'd be happy to post a bug report but I'm not sure "no connection seems to work" is a lot of help | 20:39 |
| DaSkreech | voicu: state what you did what you expect to happen and what did happen and your hardware | 20:40 |
| feijo | dns relay active on router, is that ok | 20:40 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: dosent work anymore | 20:40 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: WAN page shows Primary DNS Address as 0.0.0.0 | 20:41 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: so it acts as it's own DNS | 20:41 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: after loging back in I still do not have the ability to move/resize/close windows | 20:41 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: yes, its a DLink 624 wifi router | 20:41 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: grr i could just force it to open | 20:41 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: this is not common after upgrading to beta1? | 20:42 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: do you have dhcp server installed on your computer? | 20:42 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: Nope. | 20:42 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: I dont think so | 20:42 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: I can live with it by just using kwin --replace every time I open a new session.. should I submit this bug report somewere? | 20:43 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: what do you suggest I do | 20:43 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: Ok sudo dhclient then | 20:43 |
| DaSkreech | rogan: You can use Autostart and tell it to run kwin --replace when you login | 20:43 |
| DaSkreech | but it really should be auto starting by itself | 20:44 |
| rogan | DaSkreech: yea thats like slapingd duct take on the problem | 20:44 |
| * DaSkreech takes his ducts | 20:44 | |
| ActionParsnip | DaSkreech: if it makes it work, dont knock it | 20:44 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: what am I looking at it show me all my connections, I have a few from vmware | 20:44 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: really? That's strange | 20:45 |
| DaSkreech | what IP address did you get? | 20:45 |

| voicu | is there a way too see what wireless connections are around with the gnome applet for network manager? | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: you could use sudo iwlist scan | 20:50 |
| DaSkreech | feijo: You picked up a rogue DHCp | 20:51 |
| Ketrel | DaSkreech: no luck there :\ | 20:51 |
| feijo | DaSkreech: thanks a lot, so that dhclient solved// | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | radlipat: I was running with 512 for a while | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | radlipat: It's going to be a little more than KDe3 by default because a) it's not optimized and b) it's using compositing | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | You can turn off compositing and get a boost but a less wobbly experience :) | 20:52 |
| voicu | ActionParsnip: well i guess it's better than nothing but is there something a little more integrated with the network manager? | 20:52 |
| radlipat | ok so ineed at least 512? | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | voicu: no idea man, i dont use gui apps for that sort of thing | 20:52 |
| feijo | now I have another question, I guess much easier. My keyboard stop working the keys shift, ctrl and alt | 20:53 |
| DaSkreech | radlipat: no you can do it with less but I would think that unless you are restricting yourself it would get painful below that | 20:53 |

| radlipat | ActionParsnip: ok whats the link? | 20:54 |
| voicu | ActionParsnip: I wasn't using them either when I just had wired connections but handling so many wireless connections is annoying in a terminal | 20:54 |
| radlipat | im sick of 6.06 | 20:54 |

| logan85 | But I can not convince the thing to connect to my school network | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | logan85: if your wireless lan uses wpa you will need the wpa supplicant | 20:55 |
| logan85 | Is there a way to em, get information about why this thing won't connect to my school network? | 20:55 |
| logan85 | I know the network does not broadcast the SSID - no prob, plugged that in, and they use WEP - so I copy pasted the hex key | 20:56 |
| DaSkreech | radlipat: Ha ha I can get you to work on KDE4 with that but it's .. strange | 20:56 |
| DaSkreech | much more like adding what you need than stripping out what you dont' | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | logan85: then type the ssid used and then specify the wep key | 20:56 |
| logan85 | I have done that already | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | logan85: as scanning for ssid's will not show the name | 20:57 |

| rniamo | hi, how can i use bluetooth under kubuntu | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | radlipat: if you are using kde, id use kdm | 21:31 |
| radlipat | kk ty | 21:31 |
| zanberdo | ActionParsnip: I suppose my question should have been: is katapult no longer included with kde 4.x and if so, what is it's replacement? The answer I see is krunner. I did search kde 4 and katapult but for some reason did not find the forum entry you linked. Thank you for the feedback | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rniamo: try kbluetooth | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | zanberdo: you got it, krunner. Its been taken out | 21:31 |
| rniamo | how do i have to use kbluetooth ? | 21:32 |

| DaSkreech | zanberdo: hasn't been ported to KDE4 yet. Try krunner | 21:32 |
| DaSkreech | bluetooth doesn't work in ibex | 21:33 |
| zanberdo | krunner works for me. I'm still not sure I like that I can't do some things with kde 4.x that I could with previous versions. For instance, the size of the panels can not be made as small as in previous versions. And it appears to be some limits to how you can configure your panels... note: just observations | 21:33 |
| zanberdo | DaSkreech: yep, ActionParsnip let me know, thanks | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | zanberdo: the link i gave gives all the info you need, if you like it i'd compile it | 21:33 |
| rniamo | <DaSkreech> : bluetooth doesn't work in ibex ? it works for me under gnome ... so why not under kde ? | 21:34 |
| zanberdo | ActionParsnip: nope, I'm good. I will play with krunner for the time being and see if it does what I'm accustomed to katapult doing. If not, I will compile it can play around with it more. thank you for the offer. | 21:34 |
| DaSkreech | in KDE :-) You are correct. I think the Gnome packages might work | 21:34 |
| DaSkreech | zanberdo: how small do you want the panel? | 21:35 |
| zanberdo | DaSkreech: "tiny" bhy 3.5.9 standard. Current size is more like "small" by 3.5.9 standard | 21:36 |
| zanberdo | DaSkreech: the reason being that I like to have two panels: one on top and one on bottom similar to gnome layout | 21:36 |
| DaSkreech | zanberdo: Hmm well KDE 4.2 is pretty small | 21:36 |
| zanberdo | DaSkreech: small yes, tiny no. :) | 21:37 |
