wildbathi there ~ anyone know how do i setup pawersaving option like turn off monitor , HDD etc?00:14
elliottmhi, i'm getting absolutely no sound from my brand new intel ich10 integrated sound card, i followed all of the steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 with no improvement. lspci sees two sound devices: the one in my motherboard, and another one apparently integrated into my radeon hd3870.00:18
elliottmi think the problem may be that "cat /proc/asound/modules" shows two devices (snd_hda_intel) with the same name, and it's somehow picking the wrong one00:18
geniiintel hda cards are constantly being problemmatic00:19
geniiThere was a factoid for it but since pulseaudio I'm not sure if it applies, since for alsa00:19
genii!intelhda00:19
ubottuFor fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto00:19
crimsunelliottm: what's your alsa-info.sh url?00:20
crimsungenii: pulseaudio doesn't apply to kubuntu 8.1000:20
elliottmcrimsun: how do I find that?00:21
crimsunelliottm: you would have run that script if you had followed the DebuggingSoundProblems wiki page00:21
elliottmcrimsun: sorry, i decided to pass by that section until i decided i couldn't fix it. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e3a944eb69cf7dcb64e59292f27b0c7404f47c3d00:26
crimsunelliottm: err, a lot of these mixer controls are muted and/or zeroed...00:27
floryn90ciao a tutti!!00:28
crimsunelliottm: i would have assumed that you would have unmuted [and set to %80] at least 'Front', 'Surround', 'Center', 'Side', 'LFE', and 'PCM'...00:28
elliottmno effect00:30
crimsunelliottm: rerun the script00:30
zighi all, what service should I restart to restart the NetworkManager process ?00:32
crimsunsudo service NetworkManager restart00:32
crimsunpresuming you're using at least 8.1000:32
zigI think NetworkManager has a memory leak , after a week it uses 78Mb00:32
zigno I'm under 8.0400:33
elliottmhttp://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d1d0f2223e125dcf314efb60b3bd93595d892ca800:33
crimsunelliottm: um, those elements are still muted.00:33
elliottmi'm looking at kmix right now00:34
crimsunyou need to UNmute them (all save 'PCM', which lacks a mute control)00:34
elliottmnothing is muted00:34
crimsuni think you're misreading Kmix00:34
crimsunyour alsa-info.sh output clearly indicates that those elements are muted00:34
zigcrimsun, so, previous 8.10, what service is responsible of starting NetworkManager ?00:35
elliottmoh fuck me00:35
crimsunzig: probably restarting hal should suffice00:35
elliottmmy eyes completely passed over the lights above the volume bars :(00:36
zigah ok , thanks00:36
elliottmi just assumed muted==volume all the way down00:36
geniielliottm: Please watch the language00:36
zigcrimsun, ah, it was dbus in fact00:38
elliottmwhy would that stuff be muted by default?00:38
crimsunzig: err, then you would need to restart hal, too.00:38
elliottmthis is a fresh installation, i haven't touched anything00:38
zigcrimsun, but restarting hal wasn't enough; restarting dbus restarted a lot of other things on the other hannd00:39
crimsunzig: i normally did a dbus force-reload then restarted hal00:40
crimsunzig: that was on GNOME, however00:40
zigand did you  observe this memory leak too ?00:40
crimsunno, i haven't used hardy on my main desktop for many months00:43
zigok there 's a bug about that already : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/network-manager/+bug/20301600:45
chris_can anyone tell me how to fix "no sound" issue after reinstalling kubuntu.  I have to "sudo alsamixer" and unmute each time.00:53
zigchris_, is your normal user in the audio group ?00:55
chris_zig: thanks, how can i tell??00:56
zighave a look into the /etc/group file, or go to System Settings -> User Management00:56
casaciao christian00:58
p_quarleszig, chris: or just type "groups" in the terminal00:58
chris_p_quarles: thanks I get:  chris adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare01:00
chris_zig: couldnt find user management or a group folder in etc folder01:00
p_quarles /etc/group isn't a folder, it's a file; and the group memberships are the default, so shouldn't be the source of the problem01:02
zigchris_, now you can type "sudo adduser chris audio" to add yourself to the audio group01:02
zigapprently you were not part of it01:03
chris_zig: thanks01:03
p_quarleszig: not supposed to be part of that group01:03
p_quarleszig: since it doesn't exist01:03
zig? I do have a audio group01:04
p_quarlessorry, I misspoke - it exists, but the user need not be part of it01:04
geniiaudio group should be a default core group01:04
p_quarlesit's for pulseaudio01:04
p_quarlesgenii: but it's not01:05
zigcrw-rw----+ 1 root audio 14, 0 2008-12-25 11:23 /dev/mixer01:05
chris_i believe i somehow played with some options switching to alsa or something before but dont remember how01:05
chris_when i fixed it before01:05
zigif you want to control the mlxer you need to be part of this group01:05
zigif you want to output sound directly via alsa or oss, you also need to be part of this group01:06
chris_zig where can i select which i want for sound output?01:07
zigand  normally, new created users are part of the audio group, with default  kubuntu install01:07
zigchris_, it depends of the software you're using, but anyway, try to log restart your computer now , so that the new group configuration is taken in account01:08
p_quarlesagain, audio is not a default group for Kubuntu 8.10 - on my system at least; my user is not a member there of, and I have had no problems with sound01:08
zigor just restart X01:08
chris_zig: ill just restart and report back01:09
zigah well I don't know about 8.1001:09
p_quarlesI think people are going on traditional Debian Linux models, which Ubuntu is more and more departing from with each release01:09
p_quarlesit's not a bad guess, but it's unlikely to resovle the issue chris is facing01:09
zigwhat group does your /dev/mixer belong to then p_quarles ?01:10
p_quarleszig: same as what you listed: root:audio01:10
zigthen, you can't use alsamixer for example01:10
p_quarlesbut I can and do01:10
zigthen you belong to the audio group01:11
p_quarlesagain, my point is that someone who understands the specifcs of audio in 8.10 would probably be more qualified to help at this point01:11
p_quarleszig: no, I do not belong to that group; only pulse does01:11
zighmmm, ah alsa uses /dev/snd in fact01:13
zig/dev/mixer must be oss01:14

chris_no dice guys.. i still have to unmute after each login01:25
zigchris_, you're under intrepid,, or hardy ?01:25
p_quarleschris_: maybe I misunderstood; sound works after you unmute?01:26
chris_zig: intrepid01:26
chris_p_quarles: yes just fine but i have to sudo alsamixer and unmute each time01:26
p_quarleschris_: sudo alsactl store has always worked for that issue in the past01:27
p_quarlestry that01:27
chris_k01:27
p_quarleser, run that when you have the settings as you want thme01:27
chris_brb01:28
mahasamootI just installed 8.10, and my interent doesn't work.  I've got a wired ethernet card, that gets DHCP'd from my DSL router.01:31
mahasamootI can connect to my router's setup page, but can't ping anything01:32
p_quarlesmahasamoot: "card" as in USB or PCMCIA? or is it an internal card?01:32
mahasamootI tried commenting out the 'auto eth0' line in /etc/network/interfaces, but it didn't work01:33
p_quarlesmahasamoot: you don't want to do that; what's the answer to my question?01:34
mahasamootit's on my motherboard01:34
mahasamootIt's always worked in Linux before, but this was a fresh install01:36
p_quarlesmahasamoot: make sure that line isn't commented out, first; then, boot up and run "ping -c 5 www.google.com"01:36
p_quarlesI'm curious to know exactly what happens -- if it doesn't work, *how* does it not work?01:36
legodudewhat's the consensus for "best" open VM?01:39
legodudeI'm looking for something easy to work with01:40
legodudeperformance/features secondary01:40
legodudenot looking for any esoteric features, just basic snapshot support and good client OS support01:40
p_quarleslegodude: not really on-topic in the Kubuntu support channel; try an off-topic/chitchat channel maybe?01:40
chris_p_quarles: settings stuck this time!! Thanks guys!01:41
p_quarleschris_: cool01:41
mahasamootp_quarles: I already tried pinging google, and I think it was an unknown host... plus I tried pinging the ip of my dns, and noluck01:42
p_quarlesmahasamoot: okay, what does ifconfig eth0 say?01:42
legodudesure thing p_quarles01:42
Dragnslcrmahasamoot- what IP address does the adapter have?01:43
mahasamootp_quarles, I don't recall, I'll have to reboot and try a few things and write down the errors... anything else to try while I'm at it?01:44
p_quarlesmahasamoot: sure, try sudo dhclient eth0 and see if that gets you a connection01:44
p_quarlesmahasamoot: and write down any error output from that as well01:44

devilchaosmind if i ask a few questions please?01:49
geniidevilchaos: Ask away, etc01:50
devilchaosis kubuntu compatible with i686 ?01:50
geniiYes01:50
p_quarlesdevilchaos: there are very few operating systems at this point that are not01:50
devilchaosim having an i/o error with my install cd amd64 install on i686 amd athlon pc with 4gb ram01:51
geniidevilchaos: The "i386" versions of operating systems also run on later procesors01:51
devilchaosso the i386 version installer should work?01:51
p_quarlesthe amd64 installer definitely *won't* work01:52
devilchaosoops sorry didnt read last linw before typing01:52
geniidevilchaos: Yes. Likely your cpu is not actually a 64bit processor01:52
devilchaoswhy wouldnt it be it should be like ronseal does exactly what it says on the tin he he01:52
p_quarlesi386 refers to an architecture present in virtually every modern machine -- amd64 is a very recent 64-bit architecture that older computers do not use01:53
devilchaoswhats the command for info cpu01:53
Dragnslcrdevilchaos- exactly what model processor is it?01:53
devilchaosamd64 athlon san deago chip01:53
devilchaosso whay do you think id get an i/o error from the disc then?01:54
legodudedevilchaos: you are having cdrom install problems?01:55
DragnslcrI/O error when dealing with a CD would probably be either the motherboard or CD drive01:55
legodudeCDs are terrible, as are cdroms01:55
legodudecan you try booting from flash drive?01:55
geniidevilchaos: Different things are possible for that. Bad cd burn/iso download, physical cabling to the cd/failing drive, problemmatic controller driver which cd is attached to, etc01:56
DragnslcrNot sure what kind of error you'd get if you tried running the x64 CD on an x86 machine01:56
devilchaosyeah well a did burn it on a crap disc memorex01:56
geniiThe single most suspect is bad cd burn/corrupted iso download01:56
legodudeit should say that you have incorrect disc01:56
legodudeif you try and use x64 in i38601:56
DragnslcrYeah, I'd check the md5sum of the disc image01:57
devilchaoswell im downloading i386 just now01:57
legodudeer, incorrect version01:57
geniiYup, it should just give you a mssage that it's incorrect version for your cpu01:57
DragnslcrIf the md5sum is correct, try burning another copy01:57
devilchaosi like kubuntu better than ubuntu its nicer01:57
p_quarlesSan Diego is an x86-64 chip, according to Wikipedia01:57

kyle_hello02:10

p_quarlesmahasamoot: well, some servers are set to ignore pings, so that's not unusual; if you can connect beyond the gateway, you're good to go02:10
Guest77293a taingles02:10
p_quarlesmahasamoot: that's why the real test is always to ping a high-availability public server like Google02:10

snafOn my taskbar, a few icons (klipper, the sound icon, battery, and updates) all have black behind them, and looks pretty bad, is there any way to get rid of this?02:49
legodudesnaf: I couldn't fix that until I upgraded to kde 4.202:49
Arv3nlegodude, speaking of which.. kde 4.2 kicks so much ass. (H)02:49
legodudeyes02:49
legodudeit is fantastic02:50
Arv3nagreed.02:50
=== Carnage` is now known as Carnage\
snafSo 4.2 is usable as of now? ie. I should update?02:50
Arv3nit works fine here.02:50
Arv3no_O02:50
xtianok i'm lost02:51
legodudeworks extremely well for me02:51
Arv3nlegodude, same here.02:51
legodudextian: I'm confused as to what exactly you are having trouble with02:51
pkodonKDE4 looks cool, what do I miss if I use it, though?02:51
Arv3npkodon, wut u mean?02:51
xtianok, the taskbar is really tiny02:51
legodudepkodon: miss vs kde3?02:51
pkodonlegodude: Yeah.02:51
Arv3ni dunno.02:51
legodudextian: in width, or overall dimensions?02:51
Arv3nid think if they havent put it in kde 4.2 yet, i dont think it'll get put in any time soon.02:52
legodudepkodon: it's been a while since I have used kde3 so I can't really answer that02:52
xtianwidth02:52
xtianit just the half of the window02:52
legodudextian: hit the peanut on the right hand side then you can expand it02:52
legodudecashew?02:52
pkodonI think I originally picked kde3 because I read somewhere that there was still some kde3 stuff it didn't include/support.02:53
xtianthanx... i was able to do it02:53
Arv3ni dunno.02:53
Arv3nkde 3.5 is old as crap.02:53
legodudepkodon: nothing has been apparent to me as missing02:53
Arv3nid just switch to kde 4 already, its the future anyway.02:53
pkodonlegodude: Okay, that's encouraging. Does it need more computer power than kde3?02:53
legodudethere may be missing features, but nothing obvious02:53
legodudepkodon: again, don't know02:54
Arv3npkodon, technically, no.02:54
legodudeI'm running it on a beefy machine02:54
Arv3npkodon, since it uses qt4 which is faster than qt3 it _SHOULD_ be faster and use less memory.02:54
Arv3ni saw some person running kde 4 + desktop effects on an eeepc. so i guess that should say something.02:54
legodudeI would skip 4.1 though02:54
legodude4.2 is such and improvement02:54
legodudean02:55
Arv3ni didnt like 4.1 much. =/02:55
Arv3nive heard kde 4.2 was faster.02:55
pkodonI have an older Compaq, I think it's got a 700MHz AMD in it, and an older nVidia graphics card.02:55
Arv3ndont do it.02:55
Arv3nnvidia has problems atm with kde 402:55
legodudehowso?02:55
Arv3nits a nvidia problem, i think nvidia fixed a push with the latest beta drivers.02:55
legodudeI've not really seen any problems with kde on my nvidia02:55
Arv3nwell, with desktop effects.02:56
legodudeahhh02:56
Arv3nturn on desktop effects adn tell me how fast it is.02:56
Arv3nwith a 6150 and 6600 gt it runs horrible on both.02:56
DragnslcrNo major problems here02:56
legodudeI think I had them on? with a 7200gs02:56
DragnslcrI have a 7900, I think02:56
geniiMy 8800 works great02:57
Arv3nits a major complaint with kde 4.02:57
DragnslcrSad that I can't even remember anymore02:57
Arv3nanywho.02:57
pkodonIt's an old Riva TNT2, so there's lots that's not supported by my video card.02:57
Arv3ni just reinstalled.02:57
snaflol tnt2 i have one of those02:57

Arv3ni love my new internet connection, its got 18 minutes to download 400mb. (H)02:57
Arv3nkde 4.2 + amarok 2 + all intrepid updates in backports and everything. shweet.02:58
pkodonWhen using donated equipment, though, you don't much care as long as it works.02:58
legodudeamarok 2... meh02:58
pkodonI'm into retro-gaming anyway.02:58
Arv3nwhats retro gaming?02:58
Arv3ni like team fortress 2.02:58
Arv3ntoo bad its like a 7 gb download. =/02:58
* pkodon looks over at his Win98SE machine, and wishes he still had his Amiga.02:59
Arv3noh, man.02:59
Arv3ni forgot to enable the openoffice 3 repos. lol02:59
pkodonArv3n: Retro gaming is playing that stuff from 20 years ago.02:59

Arv3nthe only thing i like is super mario. but that was when i was 7. o.o02:59
Arv3nim more into "current" games.03:00

Arv3nwhy dont you just kill kdm.03:03
legodudeor that03:03
Arv3ni dont think init 3 works on ubuntu, does it?03:04
pkodonSpeaking of retro-gaming, can anyone tell me why games such as Vega Strike and Freedroid RPG might quit without ever opening a window? Too little memory? Too old of a graphics card?03:04
Arv3nno, i dont think it does.03:04
dr_willisI dont think it works that way on ubuntu03:04
geniib0nn: telinit 1           goes to single user. telinit 2   goes back to multi user level03:04
dr_willisbest to stop the kdm service03:04
legodudeseriously?03:04
b0nnhmm 3 doesnt work03:04

Arv3nnp buddy ole pal.03:05
xtianamsn is the best?03:06
pkodonHmm, perhaps I should ask the question on some blog somewhere.03:06
=== ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu__
dr_willispkodon,  run an app from a terminal, look for error messages03:07
dr_willisthats a way to get a clue as to why they are not running right03:07
pkodondr_willis: Can any app, even ones that use KDE, be run from a terminal?03:07
legodudeyes03:07
dr_willispkodon,  try it and see.. I cant think of ANY app that cant be ran that wy03:07
dr_willisexcept perhaps for some kde applets-things that are always launched by other kde-programs03:08
pkodonAnd, I don't need to know the exact path to the app? I'm still not used to where stuff gets installed.03:08
dr_willisYou dont need icons/menus to run X apps..03:08
dr_willisecho $PATH03:08
legodudeusually you can just type the name of the app03:08
=== ubuntu__ is now known as chatter35
dr_willisif its in the PATH - its all good.03:08
xtianhey have a question, for example, i downloaded firefox from the mozilla page... am i able to install it from the zip file? or i have to use adept03:09
legodude"which appname" tells you where it lives03:09
legodudextian: I would suggest installing via adept03:09
legodudebut you can certainly use it from a zip03:09
xtianok03:09
dr_willisif somthing is in the packages - USE the packaged one - if you can. :)03:09
xtianbut using adept... it starts installing a lot of other stuff03:10
legodudethere are some kubuntu-specific firefox extensions03:10
xtianGnome stuff... is that normal?03:10
legodudeyes03:10
xtianok03:10
legodudemany apps need gnome libraries03:10
pkodonNow there's something I am still not able to do: take a .tar.gz and install it, especially when the program needs to be compiled.03:11
dr_willisThis is when you experiment, and learn, and   grow as a linux user. :)03:11
xtiani understand, thankyou... i have another problem with the taskbar, the icons are not being show, it just appears a blue square03:12
pkodondr_willis: Well, I was adventuresome enough to install Free Pascal (I've wanted to learn Pascal anyway).03:12
dr_willisInstall the compiler, Installed needed -dev packages. get source , ./configure, make,  (and look for any errors, if any go back to install needed -dev stuff)03:12
dr_willisthen make install. :)03:12
pkodonOkay, off to do some experimenting ...03:12
legodudecompiling from source is really cool03:13
legodudethe first 500 or so times03:13
Arv3ngentoo.03:13
Arv3nyeah, i had to say it. :<03:13
pkodondr_willis: "make install" is the command line?03:13
* pkodon never used make, though he's used compilers.03:14
pkodonI've looked at some make files and it all looks confusing.03:14
legodudepkodon: ./configure; make; make install03:14
legodudeha, look at ant files for java03:14
pkodonOkay, I take it the semicolons allow you to put several commands on one command line?03:15
DragnslcrOr don't, if you value your sanity03:15
pkodonDragnslcr: Hmm, can't be any worse than a book I got from the library on APL.03:15
dr_willispkodon,  of course.. if you want to learn to compile.. first learn the command line03:16
dr_willisBash Basics - place to start03:16

dr_willisinstall the actual sun java  perhaps?05:31
dr_willisI normally install  kubuntu-restricted-extras and it grabs the sun java and other parts05:31
White_PelicanI have problems with java 6 in certain web sites I use every day05:32
White_Pelicanso i'm hesitant to use it05:32
White_Pelicanthe jave I am using is the sun version, not blackdown05:32
White_Pelicanjava*05:33
dr_willisdouble check with java --version or was it java -version05:33
White_PelicanI already did05:33
White_Pelicanit's the sun version05:33
White_Pelican1.505:33
dr_willisso you are using the older java then?05:33

krishnahi, i am a newbie, and have some queries.. is this where I am allowed to ask?05:36
dthackerkrishna: yes05:37
krishnadthacker, I am thinking of using a desktop sharing server to be able to connect with my box using a laptop (laptop is xp, uses vncviewer 4.2.2905:38
krishnawhat is the server I should be using on the kubuntu box?05:38
dthackerkrishna: tightvnc, perhaps?05:39
krishnai tried vnc4server through adept, I am not able to find it after installation.. I am using 8.10, and update as indicated.05:39
dthackerno experience in this matter05:40
krishnahelloo05:42
snarkstergood evening, when will 4.2 be released?05:44
zagarothcan anyone help me setup dual monitors, i have been having some problems with it05:48
White_Pelicandr_willis, as I predicted, java 6 does not work with the web sites I use05:51
White_Pelicanand it still didn't help froostwire anyway05:51
White_Pelicanfrostwire*05:52
dr_williscant say taht ive ever had a issue with java 6 on any site.. or with frostwire either...05:53
dr_willisso this may be a sign of a deeper issue.05:53
dr_williskrishna,  it has no icon.. its a command line tool to start the server05:53
dr_williskrishna,  and you will want to edit  the users .vnc/xstartup after running vnc4server the first time and setting up a password.05:54
=== zagaroth is now known as Borg^Zap
krishnawhere will I find the vnc4server executible?05:56
White_Pelicandr_willis, this is not the first time I've seen this happen, go to pogo.com and try pogo bowl. I believe you needto sign up, but you don't have to join05:56
dr_williskrishna,  you type 'vnc4server' at the command line05:57
dr_williskrishna,  not every app has an icon :)05:57
krishnagot it. it created the .vnc/xstartup on its own.05:58
dr_willisYes it did.. and it most likely made a WRONG one. :)05:58
krishnathanks dr_willis!05:58
krishna??05:58
dr_willis its proberly trying to run twm. which is NOT what you want05:58
dr_williswhen vnc4server starts up it runs the desktop/commands that are in xstartup05:58
dr_willisit does NOT start your default desktop. it does not start kdm or any other login manager05:59
krishnahow do i mend it?05:59
dr_willisnow taht you ahve a xstartup made, and setup a vnc server password.. Kill the vncserver with  'vnc4server -kill :1' then EDIT the file to make it run what you want05:59
dr_willisactually it may be vnc4server --kill :106:00
dr_willisif you are not carefull you will spawn more then 1 vnc4server.06:00
krishnathe xstartup says uncomment the two lines for normal desktop...06:00
snafHey. I think I may have messed up my PC. Does anyone know what the latest linux kernel version that is used with kubuntu 8.10?06:00
dr_willisYou read comments.. :) good... :)06:00
krishnaone is for unsetting session manager and other is for exec'ing xinitrc06:01
dr_willisI normally set up my vnc to run 'jwm' as a window manager.. I find the full kde or gnome desktops to make it too sluggish06:01
dr_willisat one time vnc4servers default startup ran 'twm' which is not even isntalled by default.. so you would get a blank desktop06:01
krishnaI just want the complete interface on the desktop to be available in the vnc window.. how do i get that?06:02
dr_williswhich complete interface?06:02
dr_willisThers several to choose from. :)06:02
krishnaI want to look into vnc window and find it the same as my box monitor..06:03
dr_willisYou mean to say you want it to runt he SAME desktop as your default login desktop?06:03
krishnayes06:03
dr_willisI thought you said the comments mentioned that..  'the session manager' one...06:03
dr_willisif you want it to run kde,  I think the proper command is 'startkde'   if you want to make it always run kde.06:04
krishnayes... so uncommenting those two lines will get me my desktop on the box available through vnc viewer elsewhere...06:04
dr_willisPerhaps.. I  never make it do that.06:05
dr_willisIve learned over the years to explicatly tell it what one. :)06:05
dr_willisnote that vnc4server will NOT be shareing the 'same' desktop as you are seeing when you login directly .. It will ahve its own instance of the desktop running 'hidden'06:05
krishnayeah... i will have to put in those before i figure out I gues.. :-)06:05
krishnawhy can;t I share the same desktop like I do on windows?06:06
dr_willisbecause you are using the wrong vncserver to do it that way06:06
dr_willisvnc is More flexiable then you realize from using it under windows06:06
dr_willisgnome has its own built in vncserver that works the windows way..  i think kde does also.06:07
dr_willis i find that makes them even more sluggish.  i hate to think how slow kde4 will be over vnc that way06:07
krishnawhich means I am already in trouble...06:08
dr_willisNo idea.. Im just answeringt the  questions you are asking.. :)06:08
dr_willisVNC is a very flexible tool with lots of variants and specilized versions..06:08
krishnaof course... i get it now, lemme try and come back with answers / more questions... thx dr_willis for all the explanation!06:09
White_Pelicandr_willis, I figure out the problem06:10
dr_willisWhite_Pelican,  Oh?06:10
White_Pelicanfrostwire couldn't figure out where it's jar files were, so I installed into a folder in my home, then I cd into that folder and run frostwire from there06:10
krishnahey dr_willis, I found that the last line of the xstartup says twm &...06:11
dr_williskrishna,  bingo.. thats starting a  window manager ya dont have. :)06:11
dr_willischange it to 'startkde' perhaps. (the & may or may not be needed)06:12
dr_willisThat still wont share your 'currently running' kde desktop. You would have actually 2 different instances of KDE going.06:12
krishna:-[ thanks for the warning !06:12
krishnajust what to do for the current one?06:12
dr_willisUnless of course You do like i do.. and ssh intot he box..  and run vncserver, so  i have NO logged in/seeable desktop.   on the machines monitor.06:13
dr_willisgnome has a vncserver built in, and KDE proberly does as well.. I only rarely use the gnome one.. and have never tried the kde one.06:13
dr_willisI dont 'work' that way with them. :)06:13
dr_willisI ssh in to the remote box. run vnc4server, then connect via a vncclient06:14
krishnahow to keep the box from spawning a default x session?06:14
dr_willisIts not really an issue. if  it has KDM running   or not...06:15
dr_willissomeone may want to login,  locally, and  you could login via vncserver, and both be on the machine at the same time06:15
dr_willisOr just stop the kdm service if you want.06:15
krishnahow?06:15
dr_willis!upstart06:16
ubottuUpstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/06:16
dr_willisthers some sysv init tools that let you select what services to startup at boot time. the KDM service is what launches KDM06:16
krishnamy adept says upstart is installed06:17
dr_willisupstart IS the sysv init system.. You may want to read up on it.. to learn how it works and services are started/stopped/changed06:18
dr_willisthe package manager will have several 'sysv' tools that also let you manage what services are loaded at boot.  If you want NO X starting at all. disable the KDm service06:18
dr_willis!find sysv06:18

p_quarlesdr_willis: it's an init system, but it is *not* the sys V init system; it was designed to replace that06:22
dr_willisbut the sysv init tools seem to work with it.. at least all the ones ive tried has...06:24
krishnaadept says sysvinit not installed.06:24
dr_willisthe 'select what things to run at boot' tools06:24
dr_williskrishna,  check the package manager and read the descriptons - theres tools that let you pick what  things start at what runlevels.. there may alrleady be one isntalled in the menus.06:25
dr_willisOR just dont worry about it. havig KDM running - isent going to be that much extra load on a mondern machine.06:26
krishnaokie let me just check if the basic vnc client conn works or not... brb...06:28
dr_willis sysv-rc-conf  - is a console/text based tool that lets you add/remove things from the default runlevels06:28
p_quarlesyeah, many things are started the same way in upstart; the sysv-rc-conf tool should still work (it's packaged for Ubuntu, at least)06:28
p_quarlesor, if you're me, you just brute force it: sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S30kdm /etc/rc2.d/D30kdm06:29
dr_willistheres some command line tool that can also add/remove a specific service.. but i forget its name..06:30
p_quarlesupdate-rc.d06:32
dr_willisyea  - i can rember its one of the few commands ive seen that have a . in the name :) thats not like .sh06:33
lninjoxhow do you brute force lost my password06:36
dr_willisneer seen a way to recover a password..  use live cd.. and reset it to a known one.06:36
p_quarleslninjox: boot into recovery mode and type passwd username06:36
dr_willisor single/recovery   mode  :) from the grub menu.06:37
lninjoxon my lampserver06:37
* dr_willis isent sure when 'single user' mode became 'recovery' mode.06:37
p_quarlesdr_willis: since Ubuntu changed the GRUB menu06:37
p_quarleslninjox: you mean you don't have physical access to the server?06:37
lninjoxyes i do06:38
dr_willisI still think we need a 'fix these  common problem' entry in grub. ;)  I saw some disrto that had a similer thing to that06:38
p_quarleslninjox: well, it's the same for any edition of Ubuntu: boot into recovery mode and type passwd username; then reboot06:39
lninjoxits that easy wow its the root password i forgot06:39
dr_willisYou mean the 'sudoers' password? or you actually have a root users password set?06:40
p_quarleswell, if you set the root password it's different, as recovery mode only boots without authenticating if you've left the root passwd locked06:40
dr_willisin either case.  its about the same.. only  for the user. you need to give a user name to the passwd command I recall.06:40
lninjoxthanks i will try that06:41
dr_willisIve not noticed it asking for my root set password.. then again,, my root user and  main user have the same password. :)06:41
dr_willisand i never forget them..06:41
lninjoxmaybe im doing it wrong06:41
lninjoxi use root to access the server and change permissions to folders and such06:41
dr_willisit would be best/safest to ssh in as a user, and then use sudo properly.06:42
dr_willisassuming you are sshing in. :)06:42
lninjoxi see and yes i am06:42
lninjoxso even though im the user using su command actually gives me root priviliges06:43
lninjoxi see06:43
dr_williswell have fun.. its bed time here.06:43
lninjoxbut someone was talking about bruteforcing how do you do that06:43
lninjoxfor curisotiy06:44
p_quarlesbrute forcing a password? that doesn't really seem like a topic for this channel06:44
lninjoxand how can you protect yourself from it happening06:44
p_quarlesby having a good password06:44
lninjoxjust wondered06:46
p_quarlesbrute force cracking refers to going through every possible option; if your password is 1234, it's easy to crack that; if it's respectably random and long, it becomes much more difficult06:46
p_quarlesand ssh, for instance, can be configured to kick people off after three missed attempts or something; that's another way to make it all but impossible06:46
lninjoxthats what i was thinking anyway ya hear stories and wanted know how it worked06:47
lninjoxno bad intentions intended06:47
=== Tidus is now known as Tidus|away

khakaneIf you've run into the error message KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/ktorrent' on KDE 4, you are not alone. It appears that this is a KDE Bug that should be resolved in a bug-fix update in the near future. This also apparently affects other applications besides KTorrent.19:14

gl_apparently the 177 driver is very buggy, i am also waiting for an update23:17
Guest6625better way to use another one?23:18
gl_you can download the newer beta from nvidia site, but you have to install manually23:18
Guest6625i could choose 173 and 96 version23:18
gl_no, newer23:19
Guest6625OK so we have to wait, damn23:19
gl_same here!23:19
perseidYeah, I'm going back to XP. Nothing works right here.23:19
gl_Uh?23:20
ActionParsnipperseid: linux isnt for everyone23:20
gl_"Nothing"?23:20
ActionParsnipperseid: you could try a different distro23:20
ActionParsnipperseid: there is more than ubuntu23:20
Guest6625me not, i only use XP for some small problems i still have with SW running on Kubuntu. Mainly Openoffice.23:21
Guest6625It works great, but does not have all the functions i need. But the OS (Kubuntu 8.10 works great)23:21
perseidMost of what I see is probably related to the video driver. Or KDE.23:22
Guest6625The biggest problem i have is having only ISDN instead of ADSL23:22
gl_Probably to the video driver and new KDE combination23:23
gl_Have you tried suse? or kde 3.5?23:23
Guest6625i heard Mandriva should work very well23:23
ActionParsnipperseid: use gnome, or xfce instead23:24
ActionParsnipmandriva, fedora, gentoo23:24
ActionParsnipthere are literally billions23:24
gl_billions?23:24
ActionParsnipim sure theres near enough23:24
ActionParsnipgl_: www.distrowatch.org23:25
perseidWell, as if it saw me say XP one of the gliches has magically gone away. LOL23:25
ActionParsnipperseid: i'd suggest maybe mandriva or fedora or suse23:25
gl_I know... but "billions" sounds a bit exaggerated23:25
ActionParsnipgl_: is a bit but it makes my point23:25
ActionParsnipperseid: if you are a linux newb you will have teething issues23:27
perseidIcons in the taskbar keep disappearing. Is that a known driver thing?23:29
Guest6625i'm also a newb, but with actual version of the distris it's normally no problem. Start synaptic, choose the SW you want and install...nothing to compile by hand or things like this...23:29
ActionParsnipperseid: yeah its a funny thing in kde, I think its addressed ni 4.223:29
ActionParsnipGuest6625: sometimes its needed, like getting those garbge xfi sound cards working23:30
Guest6625OK, i will leave...here it's 0:30h. Good night and thanks for your comments23:30
witzman__hi23:47
ActionParsnipyo23:47
witzman__can anyone pls tell me how i can add a shellcommand to the boot sequence? i want to automatically run a command as root before lmce starts up23:48
ActionParsnip!startup23:49
ubottuTo make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot23:49
witzman__not in kde23:50
witzman__script have to be executed before kde loads23:50
witzman__!boot23:50
ubottuBoot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto23:50
BluesKajwitzman__, don't add it to the boot sequence, try the /etc/init.d23:50
witzman__i have created a script in this location23:51
BluesKajif you have a script ready23:51
witzman__when i start it by calling the name, it works23:51
witzman__but not automatically23:51
BluesKajgive the scipt a name.sh and use #!/bin/bash and make it executable of course23:52
BluesKajwitzman__,to place the script : alt_f2 then, kdesudo konqueror /etc/init.d23:54
BluesKajwitzman__, it should work automatically when the OS loads23:55
ActionParsnipBluesKaj: doesnt have to have a .sh extension23:57
BluesKajActionParsnip, are you sure ?23:58
ActionParsnipBluesKaj: as long as you chmod +x it it will be executed, file extensions arent massivley essential in linux23:59
