| xethx | done | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | there may or may not be 'share this folder' options on the context menus.. | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | OR you set up some shares in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | You may want to edit that file to set the proper workgroup in any case. | 00:11 |
| dougl | I just finnished an update after install 8.10 w/nvidia drivers, compiz is window manager but I do not have any effects and ccsm has no options in the window... any suggestions? | 00:25 |

| Dr_willis_ | My rather... large smb.conf for my media-fileserver machine. :) | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | it has like 8 hard drives on it | 00:48 |
| Dr_willis_ | And yes - i have read the 'using samba' book in the 'samba-doc' package several times.. :) to learn samba config FUNdamentals | 00:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | I even have 'using samba' in Printed form.. from a bookstore. :) True it was on sale/clearance :) but i do own the book. heh | 00:50 |
| david_ | are there any good games to play on linux? | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | depenmds on what kind of games you like. | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | FreeCol, FreeCiv, Battle for Wesnoth - are faves of mine | 00:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | Rocks and Diamonds - another fave | 00:51 |
| david_ | Dr_willis_: mmorpg | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | Many of the comerical MMORPG clients can work in wine. | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | SecondLife has a native linux client i belive.. and theres a few others with native clients. | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | Then theres a few Free/GPL MMORPGs out. | 00:52 |
| Dr_willis_ | IRC = the ultimate MMORPG | 00:53 |
| david_ | Dr_willis_: do you know how to get second life? | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | I would have to say ' google for ubuntu second life' and see what repo has it.. I forget what one if any does any more.. | 00:55 |
| Dragnslcr | Second Life qualifies as a game? | 00:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | I explored second life for about a day.. then got sick of every place being a S&M Parlor, or store trying to sell Virtual Sex Toys | 00:55 |
| Dr_willis_ | Dragnslcr, if mmorpgs qualify - i dont see why not. :) | 00:55 |
| Raceman | second life is'nt a game, it's a virtual world | 00:56 |
| Dragnslcr | I thought Second Life was just IRC with flying "body parts" everywhere | 00:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | Its a stupid game.. They just try to overhype the whole 'we are a virtual world' thing.. to make it sound imporntant. :) | 00:56 |
| Dragnslcr | I still wish I could find another game like Freelancer | 00:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | The most enteraining stuff bout secondlife is not the 'game' itself.. its all the hype and stuff that goes on around the game and company, and other companies trying to figure out how to cash in on it. | 00:57 |
| Raceman | Second life is'nt overhyped due it's a virtual world, it's overhyped due the same mistakes as web 1.0 in the ninties | 00:57 |
| Raceman | starting a webpage with contact information, and not answering e-mails etc. | 00:58 |
| Raceman | http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php , there you'll find a linux beta | 00:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | At least the 2nd life guys did GPL the client.. Not that ive heard much more about it. | 00:58 |
| dan | hi all | 00:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | at One time Some repos had second life in them.. but that may not be the case any more | 00:59 |

| Raceman | http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 is talking about a MSN Kopete plugin, but can't find it within adept | 01:03 |

| mister-tea-lapto | do you have the restricted extras? | 01:05 |
| mister-tea-lapto | or the repos thhat have restricted formats | 01:06 |
| Raceman | I think I don't have them, when I'm searching Adept for kopete, there is only 1 result, default kopete | 01:06 |
| mister-tea-lapto | go to your software sources and enable 3rd party spources | 01:07 |
| Raceman | Do you know the complete apt source line for the restricted extras? | 01:07 |
| mister-tea-lapto | sources | 01:07 |
| mister-tea-lapto | not off hand but it's in the wiki | 01:08 |
| Raceman | I had some enabled there, don't know the source for the kopete extra's | 01:09 |
| mister-tea-lapto | search the ubuntu wiki for the info it's there | 01:09 |
| Raceman | ok | 01:09 |

| tobor | Hi, I want to install the "chromium" .deb package (its the crossover port of google's chrome browser.) apparently only available as a .deb. Does anyone have a general hint for me about what command(s) are used on .deb packages? | 01:20 |
| Raceman | I'm searching at Google to for KDE 4.2 and Kopete, only a discussion about compiling and librarys | 01:20 |

| Raceman | or do I've to reinstall it after the KDE 4.2 upgrade? | 01:24 |
| stdin | no, it's there /usr/lib/kde4/kopete_wlm.so is the plugin (wlm = Window Live Messenger) | 01:25 |
| Raceman | And how can I use that one? do I need some configuring work in kopete, or compiling that with a command line command? | 01:26 |
| stdin | it should just work, magically | 01:27 |
| Raceman | it does'nt ;p | 01:27 |
| Raceman | that's my problem | 01:27 |
| stdin | have you asked in #kopete ? | 01:27 |

| ralpho | its called tilda | 02:04 |
| petr | yes | 02:04 |
| petr | i know | 02:04 |
| kniolet | ralpho: i thoght it was 'tilde' | 02:05 |
| petr | HOW CAN I HIDE ICONS THAT HAVE TILDA | 02:05 |
| Dragnslcr | petr- there seems to be a problem with your caps lock key | 02:06 |
| kniolet | like any icon that ends in that? | 02:06 |
| kniolet | omg *scrolling up* the repeat key too | 02:06 |
| Don_Miguel | whatever the NAME of it .. how does he HIDE those icons (on the desktop ? ) | 02:06 |
| petr | yes | 02:06 |
| petr | all files that a modyfy have duplicates index.php and index.php~ | 02:07 |
| Don_Miguel | the second one is a backup file | 02:07 |
| JontheEchidna | you'd have better luck disabling the creation of the backup files | 02:07 |
| petr | I want to hide files that have tilda in end of name | 02:07 |
| JontheEchidna | since there isn't a way to hide them | 02:07 |
| kniolet | id disable the creation of those files | 02:07 |
| kniolet | there is no 'real' way to hide them | 02:07 |
| kniolet | that i know of | 02:08 |
| kniolet | other than modifying the source code of window manager to not show them | 02:08 |
| JontheEchidna | in the editor's configuration menu there should be an Open/Save section | 02:09 |
| petr | "modifying the source code of window manager to not show them" - where can I modyfy this cod | 02:09 |
| JontheEchidna | in the advanced tab there are options to disable backup files | 02:09 |
| petr | e | 02:09 |
| Don_Miguel | is there not something for the desktop to show, or NOT show, files ? | 02:09 |
| JontheEchidna | or you could just remove the suffix of ~ and use the prefix of . | 02:10 |
| kniolet | JontheEchidna: thats probably the best suggestion | 02:10 |
| JontheEchidna | and it'll still make backups, but files starting with . get hidden automatically | 02:10 |
| JontheEchidna | (you would change this in the same dialog I mentioned earlier) | 02:11 |
| Don_Miguel | petr, that may be the easiest 'fix' | 02:11 |
| petr | no | 02:11 |
| petr | whole file mast be deleted or hided | 02:11 |
| JontheEchidna | yes, you can change it to prefix it with "." in the configuration dialog I mentioned, and it will be hidden | 02:12 |
| Don_Miguel | if it gets the PREFIX . that will hide it | 02:12 |
| Don_Miguel | and then the tilde will not show up | 02:13 |
| JontheEchidna | Settings -> Configure KWrite (probably the same with Kate) -> Open/Save section -> advanced tab | 02:13 |
| JontheEchidna | from the advanced tab you can either disable backup files entirely or change it so that they will be hidden by giving them a prefix of . | 02:14 |
| JontheEchidna | note that you will have to deal with the backup files already created manually | 02:16 |
| JontheEchidna | this will just stop it from making new ones in the future | 02:16 |
| petr | ))) all good thanks | 02:19 |

| petr | People, I have one another question. I installed apache2, mysql, php, but files in directory /var/www/ belong to root, but I am not root (I am user "petr" that became root when I write "sudo kate index.php") But if I open index.php witout sudo I can not change files that locate in /var/www/ . How can I change my rights on this directory? And why am I not root in default? I mast put password ever! When I onen file with bush "sudo kate index.php" | 02:35 |

| petr | may be russian? | 02:38 |
| petr | "That would give them access to your personal files" how ? | 02:38 |
| JontheEchidna | petr: "sudo chown -R petr:petr /var/www/" should give you permissions to write there | 02:38 |
| petr | AAAAAA | 02:39 |
| petr | thanka | 02:39 |
| JontheEchidna | and I don't think that would give people access to your files... | 02:39 |
| petr | ohoh | 02:40 |
| Dragnslcr | Depends | 02:40 |
| Dragnslcr | The web server would need access to files owned by the user | 02:41 |
| petr | http://kpp2.homelinux.com/ | 02:41 |
| petr | it is this index.php file | 02:41 |
| JontheEchidna | as long as it's contained to /var/www it should be ok though, right? | 02:41 |
| Dragnslcr | So a security hole in any scripts could give that same access to files in /home/user | 02:41 |
| JontheEchidna | if they were owned as root and a security hole was exploited they could do anything with your computer they damn pleased, file ownership wouldn't change anythign | 02:42 |
| Dragnslcr | The web server having that kind of access to files owned by root isn't any better | 02:43 |
| Dragnslcr | You should create a separate user for web files | 02:43 |
| JontheEchidna | might be a good idea, that way any damage done would be contained to that account | 02:43 |
| Dragnslcr | Apache should already be running as its own account | 02:43 |
| petr | ok | 02:44 |
| Dragnslcr | Looks like Ubuntu uses www-data as the Apache account | 02:44 |
| JontheEchidna | as long as www-data doesn't have access to your home folder I think you should be ok. | 02:45 |
| JontheEchidna | you definitely wouldn't want to give www-data access to everything, that's just asking for trouble | 02:46 |
| petr | it was www-data but work with files that belong to www-data is not comfortably | 02:46 |

| White_Pelican | shoot | 02:48 |
| K-Ryan | When I open up the "Hardware Drivers" program and try to activate this ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX driver, nothing happens when I click activate. | 02:48 |
| K-Ryan | Can't seem to highlight the driver either, it's just greyed out. | 02:49 |
| Roums | Does anyone knows how i could resolve my problem with gnome not starting up (blocked after logon screen), see : http://pastebin.com/m2a565434 for some messages | 02:49 |
| K-Ryan | What am I not doing right? Missing something? | 02:49 |
| petr | What is easy way to wark with files that belong to www-data "user"? Now I mast open all files in bash across sudo, delete all files across sudo. It is not good | 02:50 |
| Dragnslcr | petr- that is good. It's called security | 02:50 |
| Roums | mhmm sorry i thought i was in ubuntu ^^ | 02:50 |
| petr | )) | 02:50 |
| petr | ok | 02:50 |
| Dragnslcr | petr- if you need to edit a bunch of files at once, you can do 'kdesudo kate' to run kate as root | 02:51 |
| petr | But server have access only to directory /var/www/ and have not access to another directories/subdirectories | 02:51 |
| Dragnslcr | Scripts could have access to anything that the user has permission to | 02:54 |
| petr | <Dragnslcr> , It is suitable variant! good | 02:54 |
| petr | yes I know | 02:54 |
| petr | ok | 02:54 |
| K-Ryan | Anyone know if installing xorg-driver-fglrx will solve the problem I'm having? | 02:54 |
| K-Ryan | I seem to have figured this one out, it's working now. | 02:58 |
| K-Ryan | Thanks anyway guys | 02:58 |
| JontheEchidna | K-Ryan: you would probably need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by hand to get your computer to use the driver too | 02:58 |
| JontheEchidna | oh, good | 02:58 |
| K-Ryan | Oh yeah, that's not a problem. I've done it in the past but if there is an easier way of doing it... | 02:58 |
| K-Ryan | I'm having another problem too actually which I think may be semi-related to not having the video driver yet. | 02:59 |
| JontheEchidna | come to think of it I have had the driver manager not actually do anythign when I press activate too... | 02:59 |
| JontheEchidna | definitely weird behavior | 02:59 |
| SJrX | I have broken grub on my machine and can't boot. I had messed with the partitions, but basically the long short of it is, that Windows 2003 overwrote the bootsector, and even after fixing it, now all my linux installs can't seem to be able to find root | 02:59 |
| K-Ryan | When attempting to switch to a different resolution through the system settings and even using the xrandr -s command, i hang and have to restart. | 02:59 |
| K-Ryan | Brb, restarting for driver | 03:00 |
| === fenris_ is now known as ejat | ||

| DaSkreech | Good Question I don't know :) | 03:36 |
| ubuntu_ | DaSkreech: my idea was to bring the data over into the new install, using the live cd... Is it easy to exchange files between two dual booted oses? | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | If you have the right file system | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | I'm still not sure what you are installing | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | xp is using ntfs... | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | kubuntu. | 03:39 |
| DaSkreech | ok well the repartition won't destroy any files as long as you have space | 03:41 |
| ubuntu_ | i got a little less then 10 gb... | 03:43 |
| ubuntu_ | is it easy to access files under ntfs windows xp from kubunutu? | 03:44 |
| DaSkreech | Yes | 03:45 |
| White_Pelican | I think it depends on the file system you are using | 03:45 |
| DaSkreech | How much space over all does the hard drive have? | 03:47 |
| DaSkreech | White_Pelican: He just said ntfs :) | 03:47 |
| DaSkreech | Assuming that ubuntu_ is a he | 03:47 |
| White_Pelican | I mean in kubuntu | 03:47 |
| White_Pelican | as I recall ntfs support doesn't exist in jfs | 03:48 |
| astromme_ | White_Pelican: jfs? | 03:48 |
| astromme_ | Shouldn't ntfs support depend on the fuse ntfs-3g driver? (which has read/write support) | 03:48 |
| crimsun | astromme_'s correct; the jfs driver has no such support | 03:49 |
| White_Pelican | I could be dead wrong but I seem to recall if you're using jfs on the Linux side, you can't go between xp and linux | 03:50 |
| astromme_ | crimsun: But why should the filesystem driver on linux make any difference? | 03:50 |
| astromme_ | You have 2 partitions, one windows, one linux. | 03:50 |
| astromme_ | If you want to read your linux partition from within windows you should stick with ext2/3 and even then its sketchy | 03:51 |
| DaSkreech | blessedbeef! | 03:51 |
| astromme_ | But the other way around, reading the windows ntfs partition from linux, ONLY depends on the ntfs-3g fuse driver. And that driver does not care what your linux filesystem is formatted as | 03:52 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry, i got disconnected. did you answer my question? | 03:52 |
| astromme_ | <astromme_> If you want to read your linux partition from within windows you should stick with ext2/3 and even then its sketchy | 03:52 |

| astromme_ | <astromme_> But the other way around, reading the windows ntfs partition from linux, ONLY depends on the ntfs-3g fuse driver. And that driver does not care what your linux filesystem is formatted as | 03:52 |
| crimsun | astromme_: we're talking past each other. i said that jfs has nothing to do with ntfs support in linux. | 03:54 |
| astromme_ | crimsun: alright. Misinterpretation then =) | 03:54 |
| DaSkreech | crimsun: What were you saying? | 03:58 |
| === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh | ||
| crimsun | DaSkreech: about? | 04:01 |
| DaSkreech | the jfs driver has no such support | 04:01 |
| DaSkreech | what was that about? | 04:01 |
| crimsun | DaSkreech: the jfs driver does not support reading and writing ntfs partitions | 04:01 |
| * DaSkreech goes to read up on JFS | 04:02 | |
| DaSkreech | Though as far as I know the jfs driver should only have support for jfs. Not sure why it would need a driver for anything else | 04:03 |

| DaSkreech | mszeftel: what did you use to map it? | 05:08 |
| mszeftel | DaSkreech, nothing, I just saw the ouput of xev and of xmodmap -kp | 05:08 |
| DaSkreech | hmm ok Iguess that should work | 05:09 |
| mszeftel | DaSkreech, xev is detecting the Sleep key (code 150) and 150 is mapped to XF86Sleep according to xmodmap -kp, however it does not suspend | 05:10 |

| PSiL0 | just had a windows style crash while listening to a tune in amarok | 05:40 |
| DaSkreech | BSOD? | 05:40 |
| PSiL0 | the computer froze and the sound just repeated over and over again | 05:40 |
| DaSkreech | Oh yeah I've seen that happen once or twice | 05:41 |
| PSiL0 | i tried poring through my logs, but the current syslog only has the boot after the crash | 05:41 |
| PSiL0 | I tried looking at syslogs.0, and it was the log from this morning.. | 05:41 |
| PSiL0 | DaSkreech: Any ideas what it might be? | 05:41 |
| DaSkreech | The audio server or the kernel kicking in a higher priority | 05:42 |
| PSiL0 | DaSkreech: Usually when this happens, it is due to my external drive being stuck in a read state, but I checked and it wasn't the case this time | 05:42 |
| PSiL0 | DaSkreech: ahhh... and this helps brings down the system? | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | Well it depends on what kicks over the system freeze | 05:43 |
| PSiL0 | I see.. | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | but blocking the audio server would start it doing crazy loops | 05:43 |

| william | I'm new to ubuntu | 11:35 |
| Mamarok | william: Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 11:35 |
| william | kubuntu | 11:37 |
| william | I have kde 4.1 | 11:37 |
| Mamarok | ok | 11:37 |
| Mamarok | do you have a question? | 11:37 |
| william | I was trying to get onto irc with kopete but it doesn't seem to off an irc plugin | 11:37 |
| Mamarok | hm, never used kopete, but it's an instant messenger app, so no wonder | 11:38 |
| william | is that different to irc? | 11:38 |
| william | I used to use kopete (I think) to connect to irc under kde 3.5 | 11:39 |
| Mamarok | there's yes, instant messaging is for individual talk | 11:39 |
| william | ok | 11:39 |
| Mamarok | william: in 3.5 it was konversation | 11:39 |
| Tm_T | william: currently no-one made working irc-plugin for Kopete | 11:39 |
| william | oh right | 11:39 |
| william | I have found the Kubuntu FAG and will read through it now, thank you for your help. | 11:40 |
| william | is there a ubuntu nvidia irc channel? | 11:40 |
| Mamarok | william: you can use Konversation in kde 4 too | 11:40 |
| Mamarok | why? | 11:40 |
| william | yes, I am using Konversation now ;-) | 11:40 |
| Mamarok | this is the Kubuntu support channel | 11:41 |
| william | my desktop feels very slow | 11:41 |
| Mamarok | !nvidia | william | 11:41 |
| ubottu | william: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 11:41 |
| Tm_T | william: known issue, I think | 11:41 |
| william | thank you | 11:41 |
| Tm_T | william: prolly has to do with driver version and your KDE version | 11:41 |
| Tm_T | william: KDE 4.2 is better in that sense, also newer drivers will help a much | 11:42 |
| william | I'm am coming from gentoo. does ubuntu force configuration via a gui or do I still had individual config files? | 11:42 |
| william | e.g: apache, mysql, postgres, etc... | 11:42 |
| william | Tm_T, yes, I am looking forward to KDE 4.2 | 11:42 |
| william | kde 4 is the main reason I switched away from gentoo... that and the fact that so many of their packages are way out of date | 11:43 |
| Tm_T | william: you always have config files | 11:43 |
| william | oh good | 11:43 |
| Tm_T | william: 99.9 % of time GUI apps only handle those config files | 11:44 |
| william | am used to config files. One thing I get frustrated with though is having to type sudo everywhere | 11:44 |
| Tm_T | so no those are not going away | 11:44 |
| Tm_T | !root | wi | 11:44 |
| ubottu | wi: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:44 |
| william | oh, there is a root password? | 11:44 |
| william | hehe | 11:44 |
| Tm_T | there is, if you set one | 11:45 |
| william | I don't feel comfortable knowing that someone else know my root password | 11:45 |
| william | oh, ic | 11:45 |
| Tm_T | but by default, there is none | 11:45 |
| william | ok, I'll stick with sudo | 11:46 |
| william | although it would be handy if there was some kinda agent that would remember the sudo password accross all logins/terminals | 11:46 |
| william | sort or like ssh-agent does for ssh | 11:46 |
| william | it takes a while to get used to any new environment so I am willing to give it a few weaks | 11:47 |

| william | I have been reading about sudo... am I right in saying that their is an admin groop rather than an admin user? | 12:05 |
| rbrunhuber | william: yes | 12:05 |
| rbrunhuber | william: the group is actually named "admin" | 12:05 |
| william | so if I added a user to the group admin they would be able to sudo? | 12:06 |
| rbrunhuber | william: yes | 12:06 |
| william | ok, thanks | 12:06 |
| rbrunhuber | william: the permissions who is allowed to "sudo" is configured in /etc/sudoers file | 12:07 |

| Senior | rbrunhuber: dhcp is not responding to me | 12:19 |
| Senior | but when I use windows it works well | 12:19 |
| Senior | rbrunhuber: so the problem is not in the network | 12:20 |
| rbrunhuber | Senior: are you sure that in windows you use dhcp? | 12:21 |
| Senior | rbrunhuber: How could I?? | 12:22 |
| Senior | rbrunhuber: it worked only once when I installed ubuntu | 12:24 |
| rbrunhuber | Senior: if you go on the tcp/ip properties of your nic. if there is a manually entered ip address you do NOT use dhcp. | 12:24 |
| Senior | rbrunhuber: but when I upgraded to kubuntu it stopped working | 12:24 |

| william_ | hello, I been using ubuntu for a day now and am loving it. I had some probs with performance but went to the nvidia website and installed their latest beta drivers 1.80 which fixed all my problems. I was wondering if kde 4.2 beta2 is stable enough for use? | 14:19 |
| william_ | or else, is it safe to install it and then revert back to 4.1 later? | 14:19 |
| === DS-BrB is now known as DarkSmoke | ||
| JontheEchidna | william_: I haven't really had any problems with it, beta2 is quite good | 14:20 |
| JontheEchidna | (you can't really downgrade easily though) | 14:21 |
| william_ | ooh, I think I will install it anyway ;-) since it says that their are performance enhancements and I still feel that 4.1 is a little bit slow even with the latest nvidia 1.80 drivers | 14:22 |
| william_ | happy new year, I'll let you know if I works haha | 14:22 |
| peabody | OK, So when I plug in my Sansa Fuze, it doesn't appear that my system is detecting it. I tried running lsusb and I don't see the device there | 14:28 |
| genii | peabody: Have you set it to MCP mode instead of Auto or MTP mode ? | 14:36 |
| peabody | yes | 14:36 |
| peabody | I have a E200, and when I turn it on while holding LEFT and HOLD it forces it into MCP mode. I can't seem to find a similar function on the Fuze | 14:36 |
| peabody | but when I go to system settings -> usb mode -> MCP it doesn't do shit | 14:37 |

| dougl | is there anyone around that can help me get my compiz effects working - Specifically, I have no cube and no liquid effects working? | 14:41 |
| kevbuntu | dougl: i've tried getting 3d desktop effects to work in kubuntu, it doesn't go over very well. | 14:44 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, I had them all working on install of 8.10 then I trashed the install with another linux distro install and now am trying to get it back... | 14:45 |
| dougl | I got help in this channel the 1st go round and tried to redo what was explained to me before but I must have missed something cuz compiz is not workin now :( | 14:46 |
| kevbuntu | well, first, go into adept package manager | 14:46 |
| kevbuntu | install compiz-fusion, ccsm, and emerald | 14:47 |
| mrunagi | anyone here have video problems in intrepid...............squiggly lines that randomly show up...nvidia | 14:48 |
| genii | peabody: Try unloading the usb1 driver and load the usb2 driver. eg: sudo modprobe -r uhci_hcd then: sudo modprobe ehci_hcd | 14:49 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, I cannot find exact match for compiz-fusion = compiz-fusion-bcop is the closest and compiz-fusion-plugins-main (extra and unsupported) are the other 3... which should I use? | 14:50 |
| kevbuntu | dougl: ok, install compiz then | 14:51 |
| genii | peabody: If this works, after you can blacklist the usb1 driver and load the usb2 driver instead from /etc/modules | 14:51 |
| peabody | no difference | 14:51 |
| peabody | wait one sec, I'm working out a major writeup | 14:52 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, doing them now | 14:52 |
| dennis_p | I once typed in an Add to SMPlayer Playlist ´application´ because kubuntu 8 did not have it, where did i save that file? I think it had to be named .desktop | 14:52 |
| genii | peabody: Anything appear on dmesg output when you plug/unplug the thing? | 14:52 |
| peabody | nope | 14:52 |
| mrunagi | anyone have issues with weird squares around the system tray icons? | 14:53 |
| peabody | Here's what I've tried so far: | 14:55 |
| peabody | http://paste.ubuntu.com/98328/ | 14:55 |
| peabody | uhhh... what | 14:57 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, ok - they are all installed and ccsm shows some options but nothing I enable seems to work, was there something else I should do? | 14:58 |
| peabody | my device just switched into msc mode by itself, but it's not registering as connected and I still don't see it in lsusb | 14:58 |
| peabody | but that's new.. it SAYS it is connected, but I Don't see it anywhere | 14:59 |
| kevbuntu | you have to navigate your system settings to tell kubuntu to use 3d desktop (or advanced settings) | 15:00 |
| genii | peabody: Does: sudo fdisk -l report sdb or sdc or someother disk drive now other than your usual one(s) ? | 15:01 |
| peabody | I just tried that, it only shows /dev/sda | 15:01 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, I have navigated to system settings and under the advanced section found window manager and selected compiz - sec I will restart x and see if it is working - brb | 15:02 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, liquid effects are working now - thanks... trying to figure out cube now. | 15:03 |
| kevbuntu | you're welcome | 15:04 |
| dougl | kevbuntu, are there any other decoration packages besides emerald? | 15:04 |
| dougl | err - and do you know where you select the emerald option? | 15:04 |
| kevbuntu | i'm sure there are, but I don't know them off hand. | 15:08 |
| kevbuntu | Dekorator | 15:08 |

| mado | i have the ip and the port a friend showed me ... | 16:29 |

| mado | xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx ? | 16:30 |
| Raceman | mado, yes | 16:31 |
| mado | hmm ... | 16:31 |
| Raceman | and ofcourse, his server had to accept the connection, and firewall/nat settings (if needed) must be correct. | 16:31 |
| mado | hmm ... could it be that my router would block such a connection? | 16:32 |
| Raceman | Are you connecting to his desktop, or he to yours? | 16:32 |
| mado | me to his | 16:32 |
| RurouniJones | Then his router must be setup to allow you to access his computer | 16:32 |
| Raceman | most routers don't block outgoing connections | 16:32 |
| mado | ok | 16:33 |
| Raceman | but his router (firewall) must accept the connection, and if needed nat/port forwading must be configurered at the router. | 16:33 |
| BluesKaj | I wonder if there is a way of turning off the caps lock other than editing xorg.conf ? | 16:33 |
| mado | hmm ... *thinking* | 16:34 |
| mado | it seems not to work at the moment ... | 16:34 |
| RurouniJones | His router is probably blocking it | 16:34 |
| mado | i got "server not found" | 16:34 |
| mado | well ... he told me he did something what's called "port forwarding" | 16:35 |
| Raceman | RurouniJones is right, most of the connection faillures are by the router nat/firewall handeling. | 16:35 |
| Raceman | yes, but did he create a firewall allow rule to for that port? | 16:35 |
| RurouniJones | There is a service that users skype style NAT/Firewall busting | 16:35 |
| RurouniJones | but the client only works on windows | 16:35 |
| mado | could it be that i have to add something to the IP-adress ... because the computer i should connect to is in his LAN ... ... | 16:36 |
| Raceman | no, he is doing that by the port forwading option in his router | 16:36 |
| mado | skype is another thing i need some help with ... neither my microphone ... nor my webcam does work at the moment :=) | 16:36 |
| Raceman | You're connecting to his WAN IP address, and his router is configured to forward it to the LAN IP adress of his computer. | 16:36 |

| peabody | well it certainly detected the chipset and drive | 17:30 |
| peabody | and the module was just sitting there waiting to be loaded | 17:30 |

| khakane | dougl: gubuntu = ubuntu | 18:42 |
| khakane | ubuntu uses gnome by default | 18:42 |
| dougl | khakane, now that I have kubuntu installed is it easier to install gnome or download and install ubuntu? | 18:43 |
| pkodon | Here's one: how do I make Firefox my default web browser, so local web pages (on my HD) open up in Firefox instead of in Konquerer? | 18:43 |

| arun_ | I have no idea where to look at. NetworkManager seems to show up in ps | 18:50 |
| pkodon | dougl: How many packages does it say are available at the bottom of the screen? It should say something like 25084 available. | 18:50 |
| pkodon | dougl: Also, you may need to go into the repository manager and make sure the online repositories are checkmarked. | 18:51 |

| arun_ | I can give you the link that helped me, but I wouldnt recommend it | 18:55 |

| arun_ | what i finally did was setup VirtualBox and ran a seperate windows XP installation | 18:57 |
| arun_ | and I created a symlink for the data folder and made them a shared folder in VirtualBox | 18:58 |

| genii | emanuel: Yes, you can use dpkg --get-selections >> somefilename then on other box: dpkg --set-selections then use apt-get dselect | 23:14 |
| emanuel | genii: cool, thanks! | 23:15 |
| robin0800_ | PeperJohnny read the release notes | 23:16 |
| genii | emanuel: See post number 3 here for the commands: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html | 23:16 |
| genii | emanuel: Sorry, post number 2 :) | 23:17 |
| odomc | When is the new version of Kubuntu coming out? | 23:17 |
| emanuel | Sweet! | 23:17 |
| genii | odomc: If on schedule, sometime in April | 23:18 |
| siegie | odomc: 9.04 so 04/2009 | 23:18 |

| PeperJohnny | robin0800_: either im blind or theres nothing about xorg and nvidia issues written in the notes | 23:19 |
| siegie | PeperJohnny: if the new beta driver is installed there should be no problems | 23:20 |
| PeperJohnny | siegie: if i try do install it via aptitude it tells me that xorg and xserver (shitload of packages) will be removed | 23:20 |

| jimtucker | Hello | 23:34 |
| antonia | hey guys, my cd's will nto show up in kde4 | 23:34 |
| antonia | i put them in, it spins up, and nothing happens | 23:34 |
| siegie | antonia: i have the same problem | 23:34 |
| jimtucker | I have a question about compiling C programs under Ubuntu | 23:35 |
| antonia | siegie: how long have you been trying to find an answer? do you have an inspiron e1705? | 23:35 |
| jimtucker | When I compiled, it did not recognize the header files | 23:35 |
| genii | jimtucker: Ask away | 23:35 |
| siegie | antonia: i have reported it as a bug. (i have a dell lattitude D830 | 23:36 |
| genii | jimtucker: Were the C files originally from some other operating system? | 23:36 |
| antonia | siegie: any work around | 23:36 |
| miltonblues | wenas gente | 23:36 |
| jimtucker | I presumed that Ubuntu had all the necessary file for programming C | 23:36 |
| siegie | antonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-kde/+bug/312281 > but no respons so far. Maybe you can confirm this bug | 23:37 |
| genii | jimtucker: If you have package build-essential installed, you have the core parts. Depending on what libs you use, install the -dev versions of those packages | 23:37 |
| siegie | antonia: the only workarround i use is to mount the cd in terminal | 23:37 |
| jimtucker | info: I'm running Ubuntu on a 2nd partition on a Dell running windows | 23:37 |
| jimtucker | these were the usual stdio.h and stdlib.h | 23:38 |
| genii | jimtucker: Looks like you need the kernel headers then | 23:38 |
| jimtucker | The Ubuntu package does not include kernel headers? | 23:39 |
| genii | jimtucker: Not by default | 23:39 |
| jimtucker | Is it possible to obtain them after OS install? | 23:40 |
| genii | jimtucker: You can install them by something like: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 23:40 |
| antonia | seigie: whats the mount command you used? | 23:40 |
| jimtucker | Thank you for your help. | 23:41 |
| siegie | antonia: sudo mount /cdrom | 23:42 |
| jojo_ | hola buenas! | 23:45 |
| siegie | antonia: but please confirm the bug report so it wil be fixed in the future | 23:45 |
| antonia | siegie: affirmative, however, itis not scd0 that hasmy cdrom drive | 23:46 |
| genii | !es | jojo_ | 23:47 |
| ubottu | jojo_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:47 |
