[00:01] dow much MB or GB would be needed for installation? [00:01] Wubi shouldn't be noticably slower than a normal install [00:02] It doesn't run in a VM, it's a normal dual-boot system [00:02] So the only speed difference would be in the file system [00:03] Dragnslcr: Shhhh :) [00:03] Pleasant surprises! [00:03] Doh [00:06] join /ubuntu-es [00:06] #ubuntu-es [00:06] tengo milenios que no uso irc jajaja [00:06] for some reason my package manager is not giving me some of the files it used to give [00:06] milenios! [00:07] like emerald for one [00:07] mrebola: y si me pasos a suse? [00:09] nevermind i found it [00:11] I would like to send a christmas card... a mail with a image inline? possible? [00:15] mrebola: /join #ubuntu-es [00:16] bsr tt le monde [00:18] how can I use the desktop search in kde 4.2? [00:25] sourcemaker, just type the app name into the kicker searchbar [00:25] hi folks, I'm running 8.10, trying to burn an iso to a cdrom, k3b doesnt detect that there is a blank cdrom in the drive [00:27] how do i add new plasma themes [00:28] anyone know a place on directions or know how to [00:28] joshual: wodim /path/to/ISO === hayden is now known as sloik [00:28] szrhawaii: Righ click on desktop -> settings -> themes [00:29] how do i add new ones to those themes === georgy is now known as michael__ [00:29] DaSkreech: odd that seems to be working... thanks, but that still means k3b isn't useable [00:30] i am still having a hard time trying to compile pidgin 2.5.2 [00:30] hey, can anyone with an up to date system tell me the kernel version in 8.10? [00:30] gives error in compiling [00:30] szrhawaii: click new themes [00:30] oh duh [00:30] thanks [00:30] as in cat /proc/version [00:31] tue 2.6.27-9-generic [00:32] *doh*. im running 2.6.24... [00:32] i must have a borked grub configuration or something. [00:34] how come pidgin 2.5 will not compile? [00:34] tue: What's the versions you have installed ? [00:34] or compiling anything under kubuntu [00:34] yo yo yo [00:34] michael__: What's the error? [00:35] i got 8.10 installed, but cat /proc/version reports 2.6.24. so i guess this means that when i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 the grub configuration files didnt get changed. this explains why im having problems getting fglrx working.... [00:36] tue: What versions of the kernel do you have installed? [00:37] its better when someone else does the dirty work!! of compiling something then i trying to do it [00:37] DaSkreech: im trying to find out but i dont know what package provides the kernel (newbie...) [00:37] never works [00:38] DaSkreech: but it must have to do with a bad grub configuration file because i just ran apt-get update, upgrade. you think dpkg-reconfigure grub do the trick? [00:38] michael__: That's possibly true but have you tried checkinstall ? [00:39] no i don't know crap when it comes to compiling [00:39] tue: ive seen folks wh needed to add to intrepid kernel to grub [00:39] tue: I have no idea. What does ls /boot/vmlinuz-2* say ? [00:39] thats why i look for it alredy preconfigured for debian [00:39] michael__: Why are you trying to compile ? [00:39] install it and off i go. [00:40] DaSkreech: 2.6.27 is there amongst them. [00:40] because not everything is up to the latest version [00:40] like pidgin [00:40] !latest [00:40] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [00:40] tue: grep 2.6.27 /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:41] michael__: Why do you want the latest version ? [00:41] kubuntu 8.04 has pidgin 2.4.1 and the latest is 2.5.2 [00:41] bug fixes and stability [00:41] michael__: Which bugs ? [00:41] michael__: does 2.4.1 work for you? [00:41] but regards how or what its about, how come kubuntu won't let me compile something [00:42] michael__: install build-essential [00:42] !compile [00:42] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [00:42] using the latest will often introduce problems, not solve them michael__ [00:42] bazhang: that's not true :-P [00:43] bazhang: it can be true [00:43] i agree, compiling isn't for me, let the people do the dirty work then install it [00:43] DaSkreech: it can be true [00:43] because it installls without hassle and works [00:43] ActionParsnip: using something newer will more often introduce problems? [00:43] some users feel the higher number = better, without looking for any associated downsides [00:44] michael__: look at getdeb.net [00:44] DaSkreech: it may, it may not [00:44] ActionParsnip: If newer versions were MORE OFTEN more problematic what's the point of getting a new version [00:45] i like debian packages alot better then slackware [00:45] and thats what kubuntu is about [00:45] they can be but to say that it's often more problematic is overstating or over cautioning [00:45] they install without trouble. [00:45] DaSkreech: its open source, comes with no garuntee [00:45] michael__: look at getdeb.net [00:45] DaSkreech: it may solve some some issues, it may create new ones [00:45] ActionParsnip: agreed but lets not scare people needlessly [00:46] DaSkreech: I agree, I'm just showing how its not all saccarin / blue sky [00:46] what is getdeb.net about [00:46] That's like when people used to say that installing Linux would make Windows unbootable almost everytime you install it [00:46] It can [00:46] DaSkreech, recommending folks use 'latest', or downplaying the risks is not wise imo [00:46] but cmon seriously? [00:46] michael__: It was essentailly built for you. Nothing there is supported or condoned [00:46] ubuntu is not a rolling release. [00:47] bazhang: I never said reccomend that but at least be fair in your advice [00:47] DaSkreech, I was. [00:47] DaSkreech: im just highlighting the reality thats all, newer is not always better, like some folks upgrading to intrepid have found [00:47] I can live with saying newer is not better and know what you are upgrading to before you try it [00:48] DaSkreech: sounds agreeable [00:48] DaSkreech: :D [00:48] thank you DaSkreech, [00:48] its helpful when they are already compiled for you [00:49] michael__: Are you missing the point of our conversation ? [00:49] does anyone here use pcsx? [00:50] i can' [00:50] this is the problem i am having with the compiler [00:50] i can't seem to get it working [00:50] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [00:50] See `config.log' for more details. [00:50] michael__: the short version is, newer isnt better. If the current version works, why fix something that isnt broken if the new version may have issues [00:50] michael__: What bugs have been fixed for 2.5.2 ? [00:50] what is the deal with this stupid compiler [00:50] ActionParsnip: e-deafness is amazing [00:50] michael__: compiler is great [00:51] C compiler cannot create executables [00:51] michael__: as you are not installing from deb, you may ned to upgrade some libs, these are called dependancies [00:51] thats bunch of crap [00:51] michael__: what are you trying to do? [00:51] compile a source from a program === bruno is now known as Guest58138 [00:51] michael__: ok few things [00:51] then why don't debian just download the required whatever and just go [00:52] michael__: This is not debian if you want to always have the latest stuff run debian unstable [00:52] michael__: you are compiling, the compiler only sees the make and configure files [00:52] Or better debian testing but the point is you should really read before you jump into things [00:52] when i install other things it auto downloads the dependies and it gos [00:52] michael__: you are free to apt-get the dependancys or compile them if they are not on repos [00:52] michael__: What bugs were fixed in 2.5.2 ? [00:52] michael__, one question [00:53] michael__: compiling is a whole different thing [00:53] i am running 2.5.1 pidgin it is close enough to the 2.5.2 [00:53] compiling is for the people out there not me [00:53] its bunch of crap and never works [00:53] michael__: you can compile easily [00:54] michael__, what new fixes / features does the latest offer that you need to have it. [00:54] i don't need the latest of pidgin, found 2.5.1 which installed excellant [00:54] it is close enough. [00:54] michael__: You are severely missing the point [00:55] michael__, install build-essential ; compiling works fine. [00:55] DaSkreech: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ChangeLog [00:55] like you said DaSkreech Kubuntu is free, do whatever i want as you are not responsible that may happen to my pc [00:55] michael__, but there is a reason the newest is not included in ubuntu/kubuntu [00:55] ActionParsnip: I know that does michael__ ? [00:56] DaSkreech: i doubt it [00:56] michael__: I'm not trying to tell you you can't install it I'm just telling you that you should know what you are doing [00:56] DaSkreech: i'd actually put money on it [00:56] michael__, but what you are doing is not supported here [00:56] at the very least read the changelog and see what has happened before you go installing [00:56] and i would actually like to post it on the web somewhere that i have sucessfully have installed some unsupported debian packaages and they work fine with kubuntu [00:57] michael__: That's common knowledge it's easy to do [00:57] michael__, that is not supported [00:57] michael__: but still not something that you should recommend wholesale to all people for all packages [00:57] "unsupported" doesn't usually mean "doesn't work" -- it more often means "that would be wasting our time because there are better ways of doing that" [00:57] michael__, and this is a support channel [00:58] Havin an higher number on a release doesn't mean that it's time to run like a truck on oil to get it installed [00:58] well this is a issue with kubuntu just another os that should allow compiling [00:58] michael__: It does we have said that many times [00:58] michael__, but we had this same conversation just a few days ago [00:58] compiling isn't something you can "allow" -- Kubuntu contains all the tools to do this [00:59] that doesn't mean you *should* compile a trivial revision of Pidgin for no reason [00:59] p_quarles: at least one minor number up so possibly not trivial but regardless... [01:00] so this so called ./install build-essential will allow it compile the source and make it installable [01:00] DaSkreech: sure, but there's nothing said so far about which feature is so important :) [01:00] michael__: no [01:00] p_quarles: I don't think that michael__ knows of one [01:00] michael__: sudo apt-get install bulid-essential [01:00] michael__: then, cd in to the pidgin source folder [01:00] michael__: then run ./configure [01:01] michael__: it will tell you any deps you have not met [01:01] it's probably a good idea to run sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin as well [01:01] "good idea" being relative here [01:01] * DaSkreech chuckles [01:01] p_quarles: even if the version is older on the repo? [01:02] ActionParsnip: I'm not saying it will work -- but the newer version may use the same dependencies [01:02] does kubuntu and ubuntu support the repo files or not. [01:02] #kubuntu-es [01:02] p_quarles: maybe it needs newer stuff, but it cant hurt [01:03] michael__: if you can get them off the standard repos then yes [01:03] michael__: you may even have to compile the dependancys if you cant find a repo with teh version the new pidgin requires === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [01:03] DaSkreech: at least he's up for a challenge, he'll learn about his system some [01:04] DaSkreech: so its not all bad [01:04] forget the repos, i will stick with debian packages. [01:04] kubuntu is one os that nice, but still have some issues with [01:04] michael__: there are billions of distros of linux [01:05] michael__: ubuntu isnt for everyone [01:05] i know, thats why when trying them i installed kubuntu which is based on debian, is nice os [01:06] but i still have few issues with kubuntu but not serious from preventing me from using it. [01:06] michael__: i can suggest mandriva or suse for a beginner / mid level user [01:06] one thing actionparsnip, you do not know , is that kubuntu is based on DEBIAN distro. [01:07] michael__, he knows [01:07] michael__, using debian packages directly with ubuntu/kubuntu is not supported nor wise [01:07] michael__: yes its based on debian, but it isnt debian [01:07] then why i say it and someone says, its not based on debian [01:08] michael__: hence why mixing debian debs and ubuntu debs is not advised [01:08] michael__, please chat in #kubuntu-offtopic as you are not seeking support [01:09] help with kwin [01:10] ricardo_: more specifically? [01:12] anyone be service i tried to install kde 4.0 along side with 3.5 i did not like, and unstinalled it [01:12] and i ahd to do a complete reinstall [01:14] complete reinstall of the os? [01:15] he's a clown [01:16] ricardo_: wassup with kwin? [01:16] i have a question about kubuntu who can i ask? [01:16] std07078: ask the room, someone will reply [01:17] well i did "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" on my gnome ubuntu [01:17] and the in the kde session [01:18] there is something wrong with the resolution [01:18] i'm not sure [01:18] std07078: which version of Kubuntu are you running? [01:18] std07078: and what gfx card? [01:19] ubuntu 8.04 ati hd2400 [01:21] std07078: if you're in KDE right now, open a terminal and run "xrandr" -- pastebin the results [01:21] !paste [01:21] 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) [01:21] that's easier than me trying to remember how to get resolution information in KDE 3.5 :) [01:22] i'm logged in the gnome desktop right now, on kde i cannot see [01:23] std07078: ah, when you said you weren't sure, I thought you meant it was a borderline thing -- not that the display was too messed up to see anything [01:24] as you describe it [01:24] too messed up to see anything [01:25] well, what's the output of xrandr anyway -- at least we would have a picture of what we're dealing with [01:34] if the problem is based on my gpu is there a way i can log in switch it to vesa? [01:36] somebody here? [01:37] guiterb: 266 folks, including you and I [01:37] o [01:37] nice to meet you? [01:37] anyone know why wireless speeds are so slow with iwl4965 card? [01:37] :-( [01:37] inter? [01:38] inter milan? [01:38] change a better [01:38] wireless card [01:39] why does adept only open in read only mode? [01:39] says i have to be logged in as root [01:39] how far your pc from AP? [01:39] which i am [01:39] p_quarles: are you here? [01:39] kudar: you need to use kdesudo [01:39] kudar: [01:39] DaSkreech: yes [01:39] Umm try kdesudo adept [01:40] p_quarles: were you finished with helping std07078 ? [01:40] kudar: if you know what you wanna install use: sudo apt-get install [01:40] so i cant open it from the applications-system tools-adept??? [01:40] why is it even there? [01:40] DaSkreech: well, I didn't have anything further for him -- I never got the xrandr output, though :) [01:40] :-( [01:40] kudar: no idea, i always use apt-get from cli [01:40] who could built a platform of android [01:40] std07078: Can you give p_quarles that? [01:41] give him what? [01:41] p_quarles: Shouldn't kde have it's own startup log wouldn't that provide some insight ? [01:41] std07078: The output of xrandr [01:41] kudar: if you modify the menu, you could add kdesudo to the start of the command [01:41] std07078: type xrandr in a terminal window [01:41] how can I use the usb floppy drive in my computer ? I have Kubuntu installed, and I get /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device [01:41] even if i am under gnome right now? [01:41] std07078: that will give us the general parameters of the X server as it's currently set up [01:41] kudar: also make sure you do not have any other package apps open [01:42] actionparsnip: any suggestions on things to do/update on first boot of clean copy? [01:42] Gnome and KDE use the same X server, so yeah [01:42] kudar: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:42] actionparsnip: thanks bro [01:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/89597/ [01:43] ActionParsnip: Is the first upgrade recommended ? [01:43] Hi all [01:43] why is that my kubuntu disto hangs all of a sudden? [01:43] std07078: wow, I haven't seen that before . . . [01:43] my caps lock led blinks when the OS hangs [01:44] i hope that's for good [01:44] I have a hp core2duo laptop with 2gb ram and nvidia geforce 8400 gs graphic card . [01:44] wow [01:44] DaSkreech: can you help? [01:45] if only i could update the drivers with envy or something but it's all messed up i cant see [01:45] JediatNight: check dmesg log when you come back up [01:45] DaSkreech: i'd recommend a full upgrade after a clean install [01:45] ActionParsnip: Why not just a dist-upgrade ? [01:45] DaSkreech: where is that log? [01:45] DaSkreech: do you want me to post that log here? [01:45] JediatNight: /var/log [01:46] std07078: no, I mean, it's just saying it can't give you any information -- I really wouldn't know where to go from there [01:46] ActionParsnip: how do i install linux-backports-modules-intrepid from CLI? [01:46] /var/log/mesages I think [01:46] kudar: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid [01:46] std07078: like DaSkreech said, though, there may be an error log in Kubuntu's directory somewhere that would be worth checking [01:47] if that helps exactly the same happens on xfce desktop [01:47] how can i access that log? [01:47] DaSkreech: i opened that log [01:47] DaSkreech: which is the section you're interested in? [01:47] std07078: ~/.xsession-errors [01:47] JediatNight: The part that says error [01:48] I have no idea what's causing it but that log should show at least a descent into panic [01:48] DaSkreech: i found it [01:48] shall i PM you? [01:48] Sweet [01:48] actionparsnip: any reason why that package wouldn't be found? [01:48] pastebin from there and a few lines up to the end of the file [01:48] kudar: yuo gotta run: sudo apt-get update [01:49] !tab | kudar This might help you [01:49] kudar This might help you: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[01:52] oops sdb1 is ipod [01:52] ill find the other error source [01:52] sorry [01:53] :-) [01:53] Look for errors around the time you had the crash [01:53] that helps [01:53] DaSkreech: its weird that I didn't find the other error source [01:53] the computer just hanged [01:53] with no control over keyboard [01:54] and the scree was locked [01:54] JediatNight: There are loads of things that can cause that. Do you have another computer in the house? [01:54] caps lock was blinking [01:54] DaSkreech: I have only a laptop [01:54] caps lock blinking isn't a good sign [01:54] JediatNight: As in the laptop froze or you have another laptop ? [01:54] DaSkreech: I dont seem to trace the error. Could it be due to a display driver? [01:54] DaSkreech: or any hardware conflict such as interrupts? [01:55] Well the caps lock blinking sounds lower level but yeah a bad display driver migh be able to cause that [01:55] DaSkreech: the laptop froze [01:55] all [01:55] DaSkreech: i have a nvidia driver for 8400 gs [01:55] who can built a platform of android? [01:56] on the kubuntu [01:56] JediatNight: swap it out with a nv driver for a few days and see if it still happens [01:56] Does this happen often ? [01:56] DaSkreech: i had a generic driver earlier . It was stable [01:56] guiterb: Anyone I would suppsoe [01:56] i'm new [01:56] DaSkreech: but it diddnt have hardware acceleration [01:56] JediatNight: Only started happening since the new video driver ? [01:57] DaSkreech: yes after i installed the nvidia driver [01:58] JediatNight: That's your culprit find a newer one (or an older one if you have the latest) or look into an open source one [01:58] DaSkreech: yeah, i have version 173 or 177 . I'll try to find an old driver if that helps [01:58] or find a free driver as you suggested [02:00] !cn [02:00] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:01] guiterb: ^^^^ [02:03] um [02:03] question about Konsole [02:03] after running "sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" [02:03] i'm asked for my password, but I can't type anything [02:04] it doesn't show you typing, but it does enter text [02:04] just type it and hit enter [02:05] ben: Your password is not shown for obvious reasons [02:05] Trust your keyboard to do the right thing when you hit the keys [02:06] ben: the password isnt shown for extra security, just fly with it [02:07] oh [02:07] ok [02:07] thanks [02:08] whaaaat [02:08] hi there. if a problem with enabling SHMConfig...

[02:17] ben: close adept [02:17] !jaunty [02:17] Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April -Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion [02:23] !version [02:23] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » === jonathan is now known as eagles0513875 === bruno is now known as Guest72422 [02:26] oooh, mental note that one [02:26] need help with amarok 2 (linux) - im looking for the button or command that actually syncs the ipod or media device - where is it or how do i sync [02:27] xxuriahxx: /j #amarok.neon [02:27] xxuriahxx: dont ask in both channels [02:28] sorry [02:55] hi there all, hey i have registered with linuz counter and ubuntu counter just wondering how do I put the certificates in my signature in Kontact === pavel_ is now known as estres [03:13] btoogood: You should have a signatures section of Kmail you can just put the codes there [03:15] DaSkreech: ok as when i went and tested it out it just had the html code in there no picture [03:15] Maybe you need to send HTML e-mails [03:16] dpkg/apt-get isn't working for me I tried to purge, reinstall, and remove a package but I always get "subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1" === claire is now known as Guest43001 [03:17] hi [03:17] i need help again [03:17] i lost sound in ubuntu [03:17] tried alsaconfig; doesn't work [03:18] asoundconf ... it doesn't find my soundcard :( [03:18] any ideas? [03:19] <[Relic]> is the card showing up in the system data? [03:20] no [03:20] i tried asoundconf list [03:20] it doesn't show [03:20] the alsmixer is lost [03:22] :( === bruno is now known as Guest96066 [03:29] hi emma [03:31] What do I need to do to connect to a wireless network? [03:32] CoJaBo-Eee: Do you have knetworkmanager installed? [03:33] hi there :) [03:34] JediatNight: Yes, but it does not even acknowledge it is trying to connect. [03:34] if you open it do the following things [03:35] knetworkmanager->New connection->Wlan0 [03:35] you'll see a list of wlan's in a textbox [03:35] select the one you want, enter the encryption details (wep /wpa) [03:35] and you're all set [03:37] JediatNight: When I click Connect and save, nothing happens. What does that mean? [03:39] I had the same problem too. it could that the signal is weak and you aren't connected [03:39] Did you try connecting at different locations? [03:39] or changing the parameters of your Wlan signal? === d is now known as Guest98620 [03:40] This computer (sitting next to the one that wont connect) has full signal. [03:40] CoJabo-Eee let me ask you something, do you have the correct drive of your hardware? [03:40] How to I tell? [03:41] are you sure your wlan card is detected? normally kubuntu supports most wlan cards [03:41] It shows that there is a card, wlan0 [03:41] no, srry, you are not right [03:42] try using iwconfig [03:42] on the console [03:42] tell me if there appear some info about conexion in wlan0 [03:43] wlan0 is listed [03:43] type ifconfig in konsole and do you see your wlan0 card? [03:43] roger, ok [03:43] i have a question about WPA for my wifi [03:43] in particular, about finding my hex key [03:43] when i put in the command for the hex key, my SSID has spaces [03:43] first of all, srry by my english, i am not an english native speaker, so be patient please [03:44] so it thinks the second word of the ssid is the password [03:44] what do i do? [03:44] what network manager are you using? [03:44] none [03:44] knetwork manager? [03:44] i turned it off [03:44] yeah, but i turned it off [03:44] oh, ok [03:45] i'm using this tutorial [03:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539 [03:45] they told me to turn it off [03:45] you need to uninstall it, and try installing wicd [03:45] it really worked for me [03:45] uninstall what? [03:45] knetwork manager has a lot of problems [03:45] oh [03:45] i see [03:45] knetwork manager [03:46] install wicd instead? [03:46] JediatNight: Now what? [03:46] and, even if u deactivate it, you need to install another one [03:46] ok [03:46] looking up wicd now... [03:46] with wicd i already solved all the problems in wifi [03:46] well [03:47] the problem is that my card isn't officially supported [03:47] CoJaBo-Eee: what happens whenyou click connect and save? did it try to connect ? was there any activity? [03:47] the wiki says i'm screwed [03:47] hahaha [03:47] JediatNight: Dialog closes, then nothing. [03:47] but there's a thread of stuff to do that'll fix it [03:47] um, what name do i look up for wicd? [03:48] it isn't showing up [03:48] if you put the following comand in console: "wpasupplicant", do you have any result? [03:48] you need an special repository [03:48] command not found [03:48] let me check it out [03:48] CoJaBo-Eee: Did you try to connect in some other location? [03:49] What do you mean? [03:49] CoJaBo-Eee: It could be due to interference [03:49] roger [03:49] JediatNight: I am very close to the router. [03:49] CoJaBo-Eee: Go far away .. like 20 meters === adam is now known as Guest69820 [03:49] and try connecting again [03:50] el boss, do I have to add a Third-Party link? [03:50] Router is in another room, this computer sitting next to the one that won't connect has full signal. [03:52] actually [03:52] it'd be easier if someone answered my first question: [03:52] CoJaBo-Eee: is it a laptop or a tower? [03:52] Laptop [03:53] wpa_passphrase tries to find my hex key [03:53] but my SSID has multiple words and it thinks the second word is the passphrase [03:53] what do i do? [03:55] CoJaBo-Eee: I faced the same issue as well [03:55] Any way to fix it? [03:56] i didn't have an explanation . It could be due to wlan parameters === Guest69820 is now known as Adola [03:56] Do you know how to confure your router? [03:56] probably you can change a few parameters of your wlan [03:58] Psyco, what u are having is a problem in the way that your router is checking your identity [03:58] first of all, change the parameters in the router to check paraprase [03:59] let me check in my router to tell you [03:59] crap [03:59] Anyone konw about the problem with Kopete and AMaroK 2's now playing plugin? [03:59] thanks a lot for your help, but i have to go [03:59] sorry [03:59] thank you though [03:59] alrighty, see ya guys [04:00] JediatNight: I have another router I can try... [04:00] Adola: Kopete needs to update the plugin for Amarok 2 [04:01] DaSkreech. I believe you've seen me ask this problem 3 days in a row :D [04:01] DaSkreech: what could be the problem ? please see the messages of CoJaBo-Eee . He is unable to connect to his router [04:02] how do i edit the menus in kde4? [04:02] my firefox link isn't workin. [04:02] kmenuedit [04:02] Adola: and have you asked #kopete yet ? [04:02] Yes...That room is dead. [04:02] Long dead. [04:03] This computer can see the other router, but it does not show up at all on the other one. [04:03] DaSkreech, brilliant. i'm assuming that's one of those things they haven't integrated into the kde4 gui yet? [04:03] arrrghhh: Right click the menu -> edit [04:04] when i right click the menu it selects it like i'm left-clicking it... [04:06] 4.2's out janurary right? [04:06] Ys [04:06] Any other ideas? [04:07] but i can't right click on menus like you describe. [04:07] are there differencs between the two? [04:07] arrrghhh: The main Kmenu? You can't right click on it? [04:07] Knetworkmanager is printing out a lot of "WirelessSecurity::getEnabled false (null)", does that mean anything? [04:08] DaSkreech, on the blue arrow? i'm not using 3.5.10 or whatever they stopped at. [04:08] The Blue K [04:08] JediatNight , DaSkreech Any ideas? [04:09] i do get a menu when i click on the blue arrow, but it doesn't have a menu edit at all. [04:09] CoJaBo-Eee: are there differencs between the two? [04:09] arrrghhh: maybe it's just mine :) [04:09] DaSkreech: What 2? [04:10] CoJaBo-Eee: Did you try any other wlan client besides knetworkmanager? [04:10] No. [04:12] CoJaBo-Eee: The two machines [04:14] DaSkreech: This one is an EeePC with a ra-something wifi card, the other is a Dell not sure of the card. [04:14] CoJaBo-Eee: has it ever seen a wifi router? [04:15] The dell is not able to see my main network or the test network (all default settings). The EeePC sees the test network and is connected to the main. [04:16] !wifi | CoJaBo-Eee [04:16] CoJaBo-Eee: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:19] DaSkreech: Where do I start there? [04:22] CoJaBo-Eee: Probably you can try with your other router. [04:22] CoJaBo-Eee: ugh someone dumped the kubuntu pages so they are blank [04:22] Neither router is seen by the Dell [04:23] lspci lists the card as a Broadcom BCM4311. [04:27] CoJaBo-Eee: Ah ok hold [04:28] !broadcom [04:28] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [04:28] CoJaBo-Eee: ^^^^ [04:28] Is that suppossed to be blank? o_O [04:29] um [04:29] i need a bit of help with my ethernet [04:29] my wired worked [04:29] my wifi didn't [04:29] i followed a faq [04:29] which i'll show in a minute [04:30] and now my wifi doesn't work [04:30] err [04:30] i mean my wired doesn't work now [04:30] DaSkreech: Blank page? [04:30] What's going on with the wiki?

[04:32] no [04:34] DaSkreech: Latest version in wiki is Hardy, the dell is running Intrepid. Is that going to mess anything up? [04:34] Shoudln't [04:34] err [04:34] i mean i edited [04:34] py [04:34] i edited /etc/network/interfaces [04:35] Psycho_Sonic: at what point did everything stop working and can you pastebin the last file you changed? [04:35] last file was... [04:35] pastebin? [04:35] !paste [04:35] 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) [04:36] pastebin?

It says it is deprecated since it is already included, doesn't that mean it should already work? [04:38] Psycho_Sonic: A) you were suppsoed to replace the parts that say with your essid and second you took out the parts that describe your wired network [04:39] open /etc/network/interfaces~ and save it as /etc/network/interfaces and then restart networking and tell me if it comes back [04:41] Any one tried using Webcam with Kopete? [04:41] err [04:41] ok [04:41] but [04:41] that's just the example file, i did use that one [04:41] i mean [04:41] i did edit it correctly [04:42] brb, i [04:42] i'll check it out [04:43] Adola: The one on this computer was detected by it fine.

[04:44] Adola: Broken in KDE4 it's probably simple to fix if it's anything like KDe3 you can volunteer to patch it if you like [04:45] Um...How? [04:45] Psycho_Sonic: where is eth0 ? [04:45] microchip420: depends on what specs your looking for [04:45] cpu tower specs [04:45] mister-tea: lshw it's a lot of info you may want to export it to HTML [04:45] um... there isn't one [04:45] >_> [04:45] nm i got it now :) [04:45] i know he doesn't [04:45] i don't think i erased it...

[04:52] B-Niz: Whats up? [04:52] besides auto eth0 [04:53] do I add anything else? [04:53] B-Niz: Wired works now? [04:53] nope [04:53] Even after restarting the network ? [04:54] oh [04:54] >_> [04:54] DaSkreech: Wireless card shows up in iwconfig and knetworkmanager as device wlan0. lspci tells me the card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01). [04:55] CoJaBo-Eee: Ah ok sweet. What encryption do you have on the network ? [04:55] WPA on main, none at all on test router. Neither show up. [04:57] CoJaBo-Eee: what does iwlist wlan0 scan say ? [04:58] Psych0_Sonic: how goes? [04:58] nope [04:58] :/ [04:58] no wired? [04:58] nope [04:58] DaSkreech: No scan results [04:58] CoJaBo-Eee: Did you flick the hardware switch ? [04:59] Its on, and hasn't been touched since shutting down Vista where it worked. [04:59] Psych0_Sonic: you don't see it when you type ipconfig ? [05:00] CoJaBo-Eee: is it visible when you type iwconfig ? [05:00] Its listed as wlan0 [05:00] um [05:01] ipconfig just lists this comp's info [05:01] CoJaBo-Eee: ok that's good [05:03] ipconfig isn't showing that computer's status...

[05:11] No, only in iwconfig [05:12] Hmm [05:12] is it there when you do sudo ifconfig -a ? [05:12] Yes. [05:13] and you can't do a sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ? [05:13] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [05:13] THANK YOU [05:13] I LOVE YOU [05:13] Yes yes send flowers [05:13] :) [05:13] ok, one question [05:14] wireless still ain't working [05:14] DaSkreech: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" [05:14] i followed the thread for my specific card step-by-step [05:14] Woah [05:14] but when i followed the command to restart my network [05:14] Psych0_Sonic: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces as it is now [05:15] CoJaBo-Eee: It seems as if your card is there.

[05:26] CoJaBo-Eee: Can You tell me if iwconfig shows your IP on the eee pc ? [05:27] paste.ubuntu.com/89700/ [05:27] any ideas?

[05:28] yeah [05:28] but that's what the network's on, so it should be fine [05:29] Psych0_Sonic: Woah where is it getting that 169 from? [05:29] i have no idea... [05:30] DaSkreech: iwconfig shows ssid, access point, etc, but no ip [05:30] the mask is wrong too [05:30] that would probably be why it's not working [05:30] CoJaBo-Eee: Ok thanks [05:30] what caused it?

[05:40] Same problem in knetworkmanager, add the config, click connect, nothing happens. [05:40] CoJaBo-Eee: bah what does ifconfig say? [05:40] It's DHCP ? [05:41] Static IP [05:41] That could be a problem [05:41] There could be a ip conflicting [05:41] Oh no there is a bug with knetworkmanager for static ips [05:41] oh ok [05:41] just kill knetworkmanager and set it manually [05:41] What do i do? [05:43] sudo ifconfig eth0 ipaddress netmask 255.etc [05:44] Not sure the correct syntax [05:46] sudo ifconfig netmask [05:46] Ok [05:46] I'm going to burn a new cd [05:46] And go into ubuntu again then I'll get kubuntu [05:46] On top [05:46] tacosarecool: what did you mean is it stable? [05:46] Sorry I think I found a fix [05:47] I just need to not install flgrx and not install xserver-xgl [05:47] Wait [05:47] In kde4 [05:47] * DaSkreech shivers at xgl [05:47] Can you not install as much programs [05:48] it's says like [05:48] I can't install as much programs under kde4 as I could gnome [05:48] Like .bins [05:48] I couldn't just open them [05:48] ? [05:48] You don't open bins [05:48] And it said permission denied under kde4 [05:48] but in gnome it worked fine [05:48] What was the bin? [05:49] twitair desktop [05:49] CoJaBo-Eee: does that make sense? [05:49] Hi all, I'm in the third-party software of adept settings and was wondering if the repository "... hardy partner (Source Code)" should also be selected??? [05:49] * DaSkreech shrugs. There is no reason for it not to work under KDE if you have a problem ask here [05:49] liz_: If you like as far as I know the only thing in there is Opera [05:50] Ok well I'm going to reinstall [05:50] Wait does kde4 not like gnome? [05:50] It's software [05:51] it doesn't like or not like anything [05:51] Ok [05:51] now to find a disc [05:51] DaSKreech: ok, was just wondering if I should since I had already selected "... hardy partner" thought maybe they were co-dependent [05:52] liz_: Oh I see. No they are now [05:52] not [05:52] liz_: One holds binaries one holds the source code if available [05:53] If you don't need the source code for those applications then you don't need the Source repository [05:53] DaSKreech: Alright, thanks :) [05:54] DaSkreech: Not working, not sure what else to do. [05:54] CoJaBo-Eee: [05:55] What do you mean not working [05:56] It responds to ping from this computer, but cannot connect or oing anything else. [05:56] ok [05:56] CoJaBo-Eee: can you ping the router? [05:56] No [05:56] Mask might not be set, not sure how to set it. [05:57] CoJaBo-Eee: what did you use? [05:58] k [05:59] ifconfig eth0 add [ip] worked last time I had to manually connect [05:59] all [06:00] how to install the arm-linux-gcc? [06:00] Hooray found a disc [06:00] who can tell me ? [06:00] Is there a difference between the synaptic package manager and adept??? [06:01] You've got to be kidding me! [06:01] liz_: one is for gnome one is for kde [06:01] And you can install kde on top of gnome [06:01] also [06:01] beside [06:02] Am I missing something?

But fglrx is not listed in lsmod! And glrxinfo says "Mesa, Indirect". But glxgears run at 400 FPS! I don't get it: is fglrx running or not? lsmod indicates that it isn't ... since ist's not loaded. [11:16] and then. sudo modprobe fglrx says: "FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx" [11:17] but /var/log/Xorg.0.log says it's fine! I really, really, don't understand what is going on.

I was trying to just redo the system from the ground up because of chronic package list issues. [18:00] xorg.con only contains some generic stuff, no real settings [18:00] brasil: Like refresh rate? Or the CPU/FSB frequency? [18:00] nno [18:01] the monitor frequency [18:01] is it advisable to change xorg.conf to tr and fix this issue/is this a known issue?

You'd need to replace the 85 with 60 [18:12] "You can install from a liveCD already...there is an install icon on the desktop. At least thats the way it was last time I used a liveCD" That freezes [18:13] I think there is a problem with this live CD, but I have no way to check. And it has alredy roached my hard drives. I need a way to get a clean installation, to the hard drive, from within this. Is that possible? [18:14] Ich: Ok...what happens if you install straight from the boot option without going into the livecd environment [18:14] you can check the cd by selecting "check CD for defects" when presented with option [18:14] isn there no other mode to change that configuration [18:14] ?

I'm not usually stumped. === fernando is now known as Guest57397 [18:16] Ich: Does the CD pass without defects? [18:16] i dont know nor waht is gtf [18:17] Atually, I don't think it does. If I recall correctly, it whined about Xorg, but it may have been something else. [18:17] The 8.06 alt installer did not, however, whine at all when checked. [18:17] and it runs into the same issues. [18:17] brasil: gtf is a command you put into konsole. i.e. press alt-f2 type in konsole and press enter. Then you get a terminal/commandline where you can type in the commands [18:18] firefox 3.0 [18:18] Why don't I connect to this room from another computer, so we have 2 to work with.

[18:19] hi, I have install kubuntu 8.10 yesterday on my pc, today I try to run vista on the same machine and I got "BOOTMGR is missing".. any help? [18:19] Why does kubuntu need to use &(^ing konquerer anyway? Firefox may run a tad slower, be bulkier, etc, but at least it is bug-compatable with popular sites... [18:19] you have to get the flash plugin. [18:19] I think its in the uneverse reposatory as flashplugin-nonfree [18:19] !flash [18:19] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:20] hey desu is that the start up splash the one before the login screen [18:20] Ich: So just install firefox. Konquerer is there because many like it. I don't...but thats just the way it is. [18:20] Well I can't install anything on the blasted live distro, but I don't need it right now. [18:21] amd64 processers can run x86 code, can't they? Can I just install an x86 version on here and burn a fresh live CD and try again? [18:21] yes [18:21] Should I try that? [18:21] Would there be any bad side effects? [18:22] Stick to x86 while you're learning. You can always switch to x64 later [18:22] look i dont know insert that codes im in the konsole [18:22] google BASH [18:22] butttttttttt im so donkey [18:22] figure out how to phrase what you want done [18:22] bahhh [18:22] szrhawaii: yes [18:23] then type it in.

[18:37] Wired, try to edit the stuff inside your browser [18:37] rather then with kblogger [18:37] because i thought it is easyer and comfortabler [18:37] I'm sure kblogger has lots of nice features, but if it won't work then its not so easy, is it>? [18:37] do you know an other tool like kblogger? [18:38] Just use the internet browser. Back in my day, blogs where called memos, and blogging tools where typewriters. Never had a typewriter have an error, even the ones that used XML (Humor) [18:38] hm kay xD [18:38] thx [18:39] So, no gurus out there that will help with kubuntu?

[19:49] Guest57397: again, I' [19:49] Guest57397: again, I'm not cetain, but I think that might do it [19:49] worth giving it a shot [19:49] why is it that when I goto upgrade to the 4.1.85 I get errors? [19:49] I was running into some persistant package list bugs with 8.06, and resolved to do a fresh installation of kubuntu, thinking that what I had learned since I origonally installed it would help me make it work this time... [19:49] Once the 8.10 installer (this disc) had gotten to the partitioning/installing phase, it decided that it would not work, and choked. [19:49] I tried to put the old (8.06) disc in. That also choked. I put an old hard drive in, to see if the current hard drive was the problem. It roached the hard drive, then choked. [19:50] Error messages varied. Some blamed the disc, some blamed the drive. There is an IOerror somewhere between the surface of the optical disc and the platter of the hard disc. [19:50] The cd seems to choke only when I try to install it. I could log onto chat on another PC and try repeatedly reinstalling, so I could give you more details... [19:50] I have tried many times and many diffrent ways, and I'm stumped. [19:50] Detailed eneough for you? [19:50] there is nothing in the notes regarding errors [19:50] legodude: is not :p, but I will try to find it out.. thanks a lot :) [19:50] I could try installing it again if you like. [19:50] I dont see the network manager icon anymore. It disappeared when I tried to connect to a different wireless network but hasnt appeared since. using the kde 4.2 nightly [19:51] Ich: have you tried installing from a usb flash drive? [19:51] I've had a lot of bizarre problems stemming from bum cd drives/media [19:51] I don't have a 1 gig flash drive to work with. [19:51] legodude: I have entered in connection settings in knetwork manager. Now when clicking the icoon, I see those profiles. When clicking one, the following happens: 1. The popup menu disapears. 2. The system continues to sit there doing nothing. [19:51] Ich: how about network install? [19:51] You know, that just may be the problem. Should I go get an old CD reader/writer and try that one? [19:52] Network install? That would be great. How do I do it? [19:52] ich: well I hate CDs with passion so my suggestion is the usb drive, but swapping a CD is certainly a possibility [19:52] CoJaBo-Eee: this is trying to connect to a wireless network? [19:52] legodude: Wired and wireless. [19:53] Ich: it is a bit involved, you need to have a dhcp and tftp server [19:53] brb [19:53] fixed it but im sure Im going to have issues again [19:53] legodude: Point me to a place where I can lean how-I have an afternoon, but its a bit important. [19:53] legodude: It cant see any wireless, or connect to wired with static IP. [19:53] CoJaBo-Eee: so this is when you do a "connect to other network," and select one? [19:53] ich: google.com [19:54] What should I google? [19:54] "network install kubuntu" [19:54] "network install ubuntu" [19:54] "Network install kubuntu"? okay, here goes... [19:54] legodude: It has already saved the connnections I tried before, clicking them does nothing. [19:55] CoJaBo-Eee: I can't really think of anything that would cause that, I simply don't know knetwork manager well enough [19:55] have you tried manually assigning the static ip with ifconfig? [19:55] to at least see if that functionality is working? [19:56] legodude: I got a manual wired connection after about an hour of trying yesterday. [19:57] CoJaBo-Eee: when you create a new connection, will it list the available wireless networks? [19:58] None are listed. [19:58] ugh [19:58] sounds like it is totally borked then [19:59] Not even wired works, that suprises me. It was a fresh install when I tried. [19:59] Nothing incredably helpful turned up early. Is it possible to do it without haveing to store the entire installer inside my computer's memory? [19:59] The only machine that has a disc burner is this one. I could put a second burner into it if needed... [20:00] but the problem remains that one is still limited to the one gig of memory that the machine has. [20:00] Any ideas? [20:00] Ich: no, it downloads the files and installs then [20:00] you are not limited by ram [20:00] Where would I put the files? [20:01] it does it automatically [20:01] What downloads the files? [20:01] What are you talking about? [20:01] Is there a Linux distro that has good compatibility with wifi cards and is easy to connect to wired and wireless networks without failing silently with no explanation? [20:01] you are asking about needing to store files for a network install in the machines ram [20:02] so kmousetool causes a problem.. [20:02] No, I'm asking how I can make the installation go from interwebs to machine without them being stored in the interum inside memory or on a hard drive [20:02] because the former is limited and the latter is untrusworthy [20:02] Okay [20:02] ? [20:03] you have to use another machine to bootstrap it basically [20:03] and you store the install files there [20:03] or get them from online [20:03] and the packages are gpg signed [20:03] Yeah. How would I do that? [20:03] I have another mathine on the lan [20:03] so untrustworthiness is .... moot [20:03] hi there [20:03] its trying to overwrite a female.ong file [20:03] you have to google like I told you [20:04] ong = png [20:04] No helpful information you can give me? [20:04] the solution is within the first 5links on google [20:04] I just looked it up myself [20:05] legodude: Ok, I got the manual wired connection back using commands from history. Is there anything I can do that will fix knetworkmanager? [20:05] Which one? [20:05] One of the fora? [20:05] is there any equivalent to ares on kubuntu?? [20:05] CoJaBo-Eee: I'm really not able to help you, sorry [20:05] have you checked kern.log? [20:06] /var/log/kern.log when you try to connect? [20:06] Anyone else able to help? [20:07] how can i simple rip my audio cd's? i see that i can get the mp3s over audiocd:/ in dolphin.. but is there als a tool for kde4? [20:07] CoJaBo-Eee: check daemon.log for me [20:07] in /var/log [20:07] Just open the CD in dolphin and click & drag them out [20:07] it should give you an idea of what knetworkmanager is doing [20:08] noaxess: k3b does it without problem.. take a look on futher actions [20:08] Lego, man, just tell me where to go [20:08] Guest57397: i used t, but it failed... sometime cause there are () in the mp3 filename.. dont know why [20:09] Ich_at_laptop: i know.. === roozbeh_ is now known as roozbeh [20:10] alright, I have to leave now [20:10] CoJaBo-Eee: look at the file like I told you [20:10] Look, I'm sort of against a wall here. Microsoft makes a 64 bit OS, don't they? [20:11] There is one line there after trying the wifi [20:11] Win-something? [20:11] QDOS based? [20:11] Its expensive, but its looking great right now...

[20:33] hyper_ch: /media/iomega_ext3 [20:33] mn: /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so is supposed to be linked to the splash screen and the /etc/can't-remember-the-path is supposed to be linked to [20:33] /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so [20:33] axel: you're the only one using it?

[20:35] axel: chown it [20:35] yeah, but i'd recommend against manually handling the lniks... [20:35] use update-alternatives to do that... [20:35] axel: what's the username?

CU! === nicholas is now known as thetacoisbest [20:43] hello [20:43] hello thetacoisbest [20:44] I'd be tacosarecool but i'm too lazy to sign into that name [20:44] anyway [20:44] I don't think kde4 likes gnome too much [20:44] because it's been glitchy [20:44] those are independant [20:45] It's not as good as it was during kde3 there were a good pair [20:45] should I just uninstall ubuntu [20:45] And keep kubuntu [20:45] thetacoisbest: or try kde 4.2 [20:45] thetacoisbest: major improvement [20:45] ok but sometimes when I enable unsupported updates my kubuntu breaks [20:46] thetacoisbest: it's still considered as beta but runs really fine here... I don't use "gnome" with it but several gnome apps [20:46] thetacoisbest: you'd have to add new sources for kde 4.2 [20:46] Ok [20:46] Worth a shot [20:46] Maybe I should just uninstall ubuntu first [20:47] thetacoisbest: before you install it, do you have time to reinstall the whole system? [20:47] But I really like synaptic [20:47] you can use synaptic in kde [20:47] I know [20:47] Which is why I have kubuntu on top of ubuntu but it's glitchy [20:47] thetacoisbest: 4.2 is beta - it runs fine for me - but it's still beta [20:47] wasn't in 8.04 [20:48] thetacoisbest: you use kdm or gdm? [20:48] kdm [20:48] maybe that also has an effect [20:48] hmmm, no clue [20:48] thetacoisbest: or you could uninstall gnome and see how it runs then [20:48] it's like when kde is booting up it's like it shows the ubuntu screen for a second [20:48] I think I need to uninstall ubuntu desktop [20:48] thetacoisbest: if you install fire fox you will get synaptic [20:49] because the user switcher in gnome is being glitchy [20:49] thetacoisbest: http://www.psychocats.net --> tutorials --> pure kde [20:49] thetacoisbest: you will find there what packages were added and need to be removed from gnome [20:49] thetacoisbest: or give 4.2 a try [20:51] ok [20:51] I'm just removing ubuntu [20:51] hello, I have one simple question, to 'dpkg' one must first change into the directory the application is in, correct? [20:51] thetacoisbest: remove the packages provided on the psychocats site [20:51] liz_: no, that's not necessary [20:51] liz_: depends on what you want to do [20:51] the problem is gnome atleast for me [20:52] To install the application [20:52] liz_: you can always provide the full $PATH to the deb filename(s) that you want to install [20:52] liz_: then you need to give the path to the .deb file [20:53] liz_: or why not just put the .deb file on the desktop and run it from there [20:53] USB Installer? [20:53] by clicking it [20:53] precisely, there's gdebi-kde [20:53] it takes care of the nitty gritty details, as hyper_ch suggests [20:54] true that lol :) I was just wondering because I don't do many things in konsole and wanted to find out [20:55] also because I'm following instructions and it's using konsole.. :-/ [20:55] sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb [20:56] hyper_ch: ah, thanks much :) [21:00] I'm compiling my own xserver-xorg to fix some KDE4 display issues (video garbage upon drawing new objects). Where can I increment the "version string" so that update managers (aptitude, apt-get, Adept, etc) don't just overwrite my custom packages with what's on the repositories? [21:02] I have the source and everything's ready to dpkg-buildpackage. In fact, they built wonderfully and installed likewise, but the KDE4 update manager and aptitude just want to reinstall the vanilla, repository packages. [21:03] So, any clues as to what file I need to edit to change the version string? [21:03] brb rebooting [21:03] zorael: set them to manual installation in synaptic [21:03] my ethernet is not picking up the signal on a wired connection anyone know how to fix [21:03] hyper_ch, there is one thing , you can right click on the deb file /properties /permissions/click on exe , then in the Konsole, sudo dpkg -i name of debfile [21:05] BluesKaj: ??? [21:05] hyper_ch: Sure, I can tell aptitude to hold the packages too, but I'd prefer to increment the version number or add a string to it to make it permanent. That way it'll tell me when there's a proper update, too. [21:05] zorael: you need to do that in the sources [21:05] hyper_ch: Yes. Where? [21:05] the only thing when i do iwconfig that shows up is my wlan0 my wmaster0,eth0, lo, and pan0 all say no extensions [21:05] zorael: no clue [21:05] hyper_ch: :3 [21:06] NM , I didn't read the stuff about dpkg-buildpackage [21:06] ethernet != wifi [21:07] Ok, after getting the wired to work it prompted me to install the drivers. After doing that, knetworkmanager shows the test network but cannot connect. What do I do? [21:08] CoJaBo-Dell: I don't use knetworkmanager anymore but wicd [21:08] Hiii [21:08] ?

I want to install kubuntu, resized the main vista partition with the vista shrink tool, started the kubuntu installation and I get that the freed space is unusable. any ideas?

[21:18] hyper_ch: I want an ext3 partition, but the kubuntu installer says that the freed space is unusable, so I cant create one [21:19] ubuntu: either you provide some screenshot or terminal output or we can just go on guessing at what's going one [21:29] hyper_ch: well the screenshot would show a bunch of partitions and some unusable space... if you know how to get any details from the partitioner at installation please tell me [21:30] I am finding some people who had similar problems on the forums... lets see [21:31] try sudo fdisk -l to get detaails [21:31] in a terminal [21:31] I have a couple quic app questions [21:31] How do I access Guidance?

[21:41] Hi! Is there anyway to group tasks in the task bar in KDE 4? Right now every open window occupies a separate slot on my task bar and I can't figure out how to change it ... [21:41] ubuntu: and if the grafical tool is not working than you can research how you can use fdisk to format that free space [21:41] Psycho_Sonic: you can set the options in system settings [21:41] It used to work automatically in KDE 3 [21:41] ctw: if you have too many windows open it will group them [21:41] hyper_ch: would it be possible for you to look at the description of the package and tell me the name of the one package I need, from the presumably group of packages [21:41] eh [21:41] where at? [21:41] hyper_ch: that doesn't work [21:41] dvdhelp: it would be possible... but you should learn to handle yourself around === maksim is now known as Guest55162 [21:42] ctw: hmmm, could be that was added in 4.2 [21:42] i've always looked at system settings and couldn't find anything related to Guidance or power-management [21:42] hyper_ch: the slots just get smaller [21:42] hyper_ch: I'm just trying to get a film to play for my niece [21:42] you tell her that [21:42] Psycho_Sonic: open system settings, go to the advance tab and choose power management [21:42] hyper_ch: ah ... thank ... I haven't upgaraded to that yet ... is it pretty stable? [21:42] simi: ok tnx will look into it [21:42] ctw: between two open applications in the task bar, click with the right mouse button and select taskbar settings [21:43] task manager settings [21:43] there are a few options [21:43] ctw: I think 4.2 is wonderful [21:43] i see no power management here [21:43] let me take a pic [21:43] hyper_ch: the only options I see are "show tooltips" "only show tasks from teh current desktop" and "only show tasks from the current screen" [21:43] ubuntu: you must create a extended partition, inside that you create the other partitions you need, dwap and root, maybe you will have to delete one of that compaq partitions [21:43] hyper_ch: I guess I need to upgrade ... [21:44] ubuntu: just research a little i do not remember for shure this stuff [21:44] hyper_ch: I apparently had libdvdcss2 installed already. I don't know about the other package. What should I do? [21:44] ctw: well, it does autogroup to me [21:44] dvdhelp: enable the according repos === surma is now known as matti_ [21:44] hyper_ch: I'm running 4.1.3 ... so it was probably added in 4.2 [21:45] hyper_ch: thanks for your help [21:45] ctw: I don't remember how it behaved in 4.1 [21:45] wat [21:45] photobucket makes konquerer crash? [21:45] dvdhelp: it's either universe or multiverse repo [21:45] gah... [21:46] ok, switching to firefox [21:48] hyper_ch: I got a list of the packages included in that package [21:48] but I don't know which specifically to install [21:48] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/ubuntu-restricted-extras-all-that-extra-stuff-all-in-one-place/ [21:49] I tried to search with google [21:49] ubuntu: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/archive/index.php/t-39739.html, it sais here that you can have max 4 primary partitions, so i was right you need an extended partitions, first to remove one of the primary ones [21:49] dvdhelp: then install the meta package [21:49] I don't know which package to install and I don't want to install all of them [21:50] simi: you think I can remove the vista-data partition? Id still have the vista-system partition [21:51] ubuntu: yesm if in that partitions you do not hnstalled any programs, then every thing should work [21:52] anyone good with the java plugin for FF? (3.0.5, Hardy) [21:52] ubuntu: in the extended partitions you can create more then 3 partitions [21:53] ign0ramus: there's a sun java plugin [21:53] hyper_ch: i know, but upon trying to update, i've hosed my install, and now firefox doesn't recognize the plugin at all... [21:53] simi: ill give it a go. wish me luck [21:53] ign0ramus: install it, purge it then completely and reinstall it [21:54] ubuntu: is vista fit in 10 Gb? [21:54] hyper_ch: did that. simply installing it doesn't mean that firefox picks it up and uses it properly. [21:54] ign0ramus: ti [21:54] ign0ramus: did you purge it completely? [21:54] simi: i got 80gb for the vista system partition [21:54] hyper_ch: yeah, but i'll do it again to start from scratch [21:54] ubuntu: you have a small harddrive, if your computers has drivers for XP i strongly recomend to remove Vista and install xp [21:55] hyper_ch: let me clarify [21:55] MY FRIEND NOW HAS PROBLEM [21:55] the dvd plays with kaffeine. It shows only the start with the companys logo usually, then gets me to the subtitles screen and stucks there looping the animation [21:55] his network status unmanaged [21:56] simi: not an option unfortunately. well in total I got 320, which is more than enough for me [21:56] we tried configure interface file [21:56] !shout | Koz3ris [21:56] Koz3ris: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [21:56] i can copy if want [21:56] ubuntu: i made a mistake, i readed that you have only 40 GB [21:56] dvdhelp: use vlc then [21:56] hyper_ch: ok, all installed java (from Sun and Icedtea) are now purged. What packages do I need to get back? [21:57] hyper_ch: ok, I will try it [21:58] ign0ramus: I have no clue what it is called correctly... search for it... should be sun java plugin something [21:58] "http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2" says packages are available but it seems only beta1 are [21:58] what's the best way to get package info from apt? [21:58] they are ready, beta 2 packages? [21:58] Mojo_risin: should be beta 2 [21:59] benbloom: apt-cache search, aptitude, synaptic, adept [21:59] hyper_ch: but I have the rep and no beta 2 updates are trigered :( [22:00] Mojo_risin: how do you know? [22:01] does anyone know how to get hardy to sleep properly on a laptop? [22:01] hyper_ch: in fact I'm wrong: Using KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)) [22:01] Mojo_risin: ;) [22:01] jon_: nope [22:01] Koz3ris: fixed that problem? [22:01] but I didn't notice any update to KDE... weird :) [22:01] My friend cant connect to internet. Its simple LAN cable m, we tried setup Ips to interface but no luck, network status : UNMANAGED [22:01] weel thanks anyway hyper_ch :) [22:02] Mojo_risin: for your future reference, you can use http://repogen.simplylinux.ch :) [22:02] Koz3ris: with kubuntu version? [22:02] 8.10 [22:03] simi [22:04] hyper_ch: great :) [22:04] Koz3ris: i have no ideea yet, it should autodetect or something, tell me more [22:04] Mojo_risin: if you know more repos / countries, just add them ;) [22:05] simi, his internet must be configured manualy, ( ips ), mine not so i have inet, but we tried to put ips in interface and dowasn work [22:05] hyper_ch: no authentication? [22:05] Mojo_risin: not for countries -- repos will be reviewed [22:05] ok [22:06] um, question [22:07] how do install plug-ins for firefox here? [22:07] before i just hit "open" [22:07] Psycho_Sonic: depends on the plugins... [22:07] i'm talking about the Adobe and Flash and all that [22:07] Psycho_Sonic: flash10 for 64bit? [22:07] right now i'm trying the Adobe Reader [22:07] Psycho_Sonic: add medibuntu repos - simplest way [22:11] Is there a way to turn off the popup that appears when hovering over windows in the taskbar? [22:12] CoJaBo-Eee: not as far as I know :( [22:12] It appears along with the Compiz one :/ [22:13] ok, here we go [22:13] ok,i'm downloading the Deb Adobe Reader plugin [22:13] CoJaBo-Eee: I have all effects turned off and it still appears.. not with preview anymore but it still appears [22:13] ...what do i do with it? [22:14] it isn't in a repository [22:14] hyper_ch: I just did the same... Guess I'm stuck disabling the Compiz one :/ [22:14] CoJaBo-Eee: :) [22:15] Psycho_Sonic: adobe reader plugin... might be in medibuntu repos [22:15] Psycho_Sonic: but why stick to adobe reader anyway? [22:15] Or I could try to make the Compiz one bigger so it coovers the builtin one :P [22:15] um [22:15] dunno [22:15] >_> [22:15] it's on the list of firefox plug-ins to get [22:15] i just figured i needed it since I always did when i got firefox on windows [22:16] Firefox displays really weird tho o_O [22:16] do i not need it? [22:16] Psycho_Sonic: you don't even need adobe reader [22:17] Psycho_Sonic: pdfs will then just not be opened in a browser window [22:17] If adept is telling you a package upgrade will cause a break, is there a way to see why or what is needed to fix it? [22:17] Walzmyn: it should tell you what it will uninstall [22:18] oh [22:18] Walzmyn, any mention of dependencies in the error? [22:18] hyper_ch: I tried vlc [22:18] hyper: ok [22:18] thanks [22:18] hyper_ch: It says: /media/cdrom is a folder but a filre was expected [22:18] hyper_ch, yeah, but a break means something is conflicting isn't it? [22:18] sorry I mean /media/cdrom0 [22:18] BluesKaj, not from adept, I did not commit the changes [22:18] ok good [22:19] dvdhelp: it works in vlc but it's been ages since I put a dvd into the dvd drive [22:19] hyper_ch: however, I can enter /media/cdrom0 and there's a bunch of files inside video_ts [22:19] can I use these to watch the mhovie? [22:19] dvdhelp: yes === gary_ is now known as Guest77557 [22:19] Do you know how though? [22:19] they hase seemingly meaningful names [22:20] dvdhelp, what video player are you using to watch the video? [22:20] usually I use mplayer [22:20] I also have kaffeine and vlc installed (just now) [22:21] BluesKaj, I was wondering if there was a way to use apt-get directly to see what I needed to do differently to install this update [22:21] dvdhelp, they are not playing the movie? [22:21] I'm running intrepid through vbox. Is there a games meta package like kdegames-kde4? [22:21] ok... [22:22] and what do i look up to install the firefox java jre? [22:22] Walzmyn: how? [22:22] in the repo [22:22] I don't know what to do [22:22] dvdhelp: I just entered the any given sunday dvd [22:22] White_Pelican, yes, look it up in adept [22:22] In the media:/ it shows a DVD [22:22] dvdhelp: had it mounted with the notify thing [22:22] I did I can't find it [22:22] dvdhelp, open kaffeine and tell it to play the DVD [22:22] is there a specialy repository in sources.list ? [22:22] dvdhelp: in vlc selected "media --> open disc" [22:22] It plays only the logo of the company that made the film [22:22] Walzmyn, I use synaptic in those situations , it will list the resulting (broken) pkgs and required or unmet dependencies. [22:22] dvdhelp: and started playing it... it did select the drive drive /dev/scd0 [22:23] BluesKaj, k, will try that [22:23] I don't know what I do wrong sorry... [22:23] never mind, I'll shut up now, I found it hehe [22:24] dvdhelp: put the dvd into the drive [22:24] however I do have another question [22:24] yes [22:24] dvdhelp: say to the device manager to mount it [22:24] It seems already mounted [22:24] dvdhelp: in the pop up then select to do nothing [22:24] since there's an option to "unmount" [22:24] see as you all know, kde 4 is a lot different [22:24] dvdhelp: open vlc [22:24] yes [22:24] dvdhelp: select "media --> open disc" [22:24] I am there [22:24] dvdhelp: what disc drive does it show? [22:25] open: dvd:// [22:25] when I installed guest additions, the taskbar does now not extend all the way to the right. how do I adjust the taskbar to have it extend all the way to the right? [22:25] dvdhelp: make a screen shot and upload it somewhere [22:25] make a screenshot of what? [22:26] do you want the vlc or? [22:26] dvdhelp: post a screenshot of the open disc dialog [22:26] Aha! it worked. I entered /media/cdrom0 in Open: of VLC in the menu of open disc [22:27] fantastic thanks very much hyper_ch and Walzmyn [22:27] bye [22:27] how i can add compiz fusion please ?
