[00:14] ActionParsnip: I have searched on google btw, but did not find anything intereseting. [00:14] Happyness: does it highlight selected name. Ive never used mirc as I dont use windows [00:15] ActionParsnip: I want to make a script which tracks a user in IRC. Find out which usernames a user have been using and so on. [00:16] Happyness: im not sure myself but if you can put up with the nag, mirc runs with wine [00:17] Happyness: i dont know of such a feature myself as my irc usage is super basic === DS-BrB is now known as DarkSmoke [00:17] ActionParsnip: Well I am not an highadvanced user myself. I just heard that there is such a script for mIRC [00:17] test [00:18] Happyness: its not something i knew existed [00:18] its a sparkle script i think [00:18] Happyness: try later as different users will be connected [00:18] ActionParsnip: Then another thing is that I cannot use "/media" to show what amarok is playing. [00:19] Happyness: i wouldnt run that in here. OPs don't like broadcasts of what you are playing because, no one cares [00:19] ActionParsnip: Not here of course, in other channels. [00:20] Happyness: sounds like cuznt knows a thing or 3 [00:20] nope [00:21] i was wrong [00:21] ActionParsnip: When i type "/media" it says that no supported player is currently active, but I am using amarok 2 :P [00:21] sparkle was the name of the bot that ran the script [00:21] cuznt: Which script? [00:21] Happyness, if you and the user are on the same server then a whois followed by his/her nicks will tell you what chats they are in . [00:22] http://pisg.sourceforge.net [00:22] chatstats [00:22] pisg is an IRC channel statics generator written in Perl, it creates statistics from different logfile formats. It was originally written because IRCStats wasn't open source. [00:22] BluesKaj: Well, I want a feature like tracking a user, like "/track nick". It should then print like This nick has also used the nicks: nick1, nick2 and so on, or other features are welcome too :) [00:22] Happyness, in the server type :/whois nick [00:23] well if your scipt doesn't do it then the whois thing will do some of it at least [00:24] BluesKaj: Sounds interesting, does some nice features, but not exactly what I looked for :P [00:24] works in konverstion too :) [00:25] err konversation [00:26] BluesKaj: Yes, thats is for sure.

[02:50] i dident think the 4318 needed ndiswrappers any more. under 8.10 [02:50] Hi! [02:50] Wording on errors is very important. I've never had any problem with ndiswrapper. [02:50] is kubuntu better than fedora? [02:50] at least My old Laptop I THINK dident need ndiswrappers [02:51] yes ohzie [02:51] smax: kubuntu or xubuntu yes. [02:51] smax, depends on your needs I guess. [02:51] smax: It feels faster to me. [02:51] Fedora is nice in a lot of ways, but the only problem I've ever had with ubuntu was ehci_hcd, and Fedora has the same problem [02:52] whats ehci_hcd [02:52] smax: from what I understand, the thing that makes usb 2.0 superior to 1.0/1.1 [02:52] dr_willis i dunno... normally i can left click the disconnected from network icon and it would list a few wireless networks to choose from. [02:53] some USB controller cards/chipsets can have issues with some of the ehci stuff... not seen that issue in years however [02:53] facinating. [02:54] i seem to recall years ago ohci and ehci for usb drivers.. but its been so long since ive had to mess with those - i forget the resaons for the 2 [02:55] ohzie what's mind boggling is that my newest Linksys network pci adapter is recognized (but something is wrong with it) and this older network adapter isn't recognized. [02:56] illmortal: Strange. [02:58] is there any reason why ndiswrapper would install but throws the error that the utils doesn't exist? [02:59] you did try the b43 fwcutter packagte first? you do need the firmware for the nic's i recall... But My card may not of been the same chipset as yours. I dont even have tha tlaptop any more [02:59] !find b43 [02:59] Found: b43-fwcutter [02:59] !info b43-fwcutter [02:59] b43-fwcutter (source: b43-fwcutter): Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware.

[03:00] Ive heard ndiswrapper = Horriable [03:00] hmm.... [03:01] 8.10 did a lot of changes to the wireless drivers/updated to the wireless stuff.. a lot of the old docs suggest ndiswrappers. that are no lonnger the best way to doit [03:01] I would say check the forums for your exact card. and see what others suggest using with 8.10 [03:01] is b43-fwcutter already located in the synaptic or do i need internet access to download it? [03:02] b43-fwcutter (source: b43-fwcutter): Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware. In component main, is optional. [03:02] optional = not installed by default :) [03:02] the package actually downloads/installs the firmware [03:03] so i'm screwed if ubuntu has no internet access to begin with? [03:03] unless you have access to a different machine and can grab whatever packages you need. [03:03] Ive never had that problem [03:04] ya i can't hardwire... only thing i can attempt is to download it via windows, send it to thumb drive, then log into ubuntu and install from thumb drive [03:04] is there a program i can use to create .cab files?? [03:05] illmortal: not that easy but you can poke around a repo to find it [03:05] If the windows machine had a spare nic. you could connect to it and use ICS to get to the net through it. [03:06] or run kubuntu in a VM, download the packages, then use aptcd or something to move it over [03:08] nah I only have one machine.... my only option is to download the file and then transport it via thumb drive once i log back into ubuntu. [03:09] You can easially use virtualbox to do like faileas suggests. :) may be easier in the long run.. [03:09] or are you saying the ONE machine you got with windows is ONLY wireless? [03:09] i only have one machine [03:09] and it's only wireless [03:09] ya [03:10] dual boot with windows xp and ubuntu [03:10] You can install ubuntu inside virtualbox. and let it grab the packages then. it can share the network connection. [03:10] you could even do that via virtualbox + the live cd iso.. and apt-get install the files, copy over to some directory [03:11] so install ubuntu via VM... download the packages... log out of windows then log back into ubuntu and try to find the package i downloaded? [03:11] Im not sure how you 'download' the firmware - the fw-cutter package actually downloads them when you install the fwcutter package - i belive [03:11] It must cache them somewhere. :) [03:11] illmortal: install ubuntu over VM, use aptcd to make a cd, boot back to linux, use cd to install [03:12] if its a usb device (some wireless is) you could also use virtualbox and pipe the usb device over to it and do some other stuff that way [03:12] oi [03:14] using aptcd would do what... create a Ubuntu with fw-cutter already integrated with the distro?.. [03:15] you know what... forget it, this is more complicated than it needs to be. I'll stick to windows for now =\ [03:15] no, it would make a cd with all the packages you installed [03:16] ok but at the end I'm still gonna need to have internet access for fw-cutter to download the correct firmware. [03:16] fwcutter* [03:17] Unless ya figure out where its getting the stuff from [03:18] You could proberly grab all the files with a live cd,. and virtualbox - easially enough. and copy over to the windows partition. [03:18] no need to 'install' to virtualbox. if the live cd can do it [03:19] I don't think the livecd has the capability to connect to the internet. [03:19] If hes runnign the live cd inside virtualbox.. it can use the windows network connection [03:20] without installing ubuntu into the VM? [03:21] actually no... you can only install ubuntu into the VM [03:21] actually you CAN run the livecd.iso inside virtualbox. and install things to the livecd.. they just get lost when you reboot. [03:21] I do it all the time [03:22] how do i open up the virtual box independently? [03:23] You install virtualbox on the windows machine.. run it.. tell it to boot the kubuntu.iso file. the apt-get install the stuff you need.. then copy the installed/downloaded packages from /var/cache/apt (or whatever) to somewhere your linux box will be able to access tehm. [03:24] Does anyone know of a good network monitor? I used netspeed for gnome, but I hate gnome. [03:24] so I'm trying KDE [03:24] and gkrellm's network monitor sucks. [03:25] dr_willis I also found this: http://www.bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/ [03:25] but you say that it has to go onto the internet for it to find the correct firmware, ya? [03:25] Its getting the firmware files from somewhere - from what i saw when i isntalled fwcutter [03:27] so ... is there a way to turn off graphic effects in 8.10 ? [03:27] Theres settings in the menus some where I recall. :) [03:28] but i rarely use KDE4 or gnome - i tend to use jwm+rox, so i dont rember the menu layouts [03:28] I boot up to kde4 every so often to show it to people [03:28] rox? [03:28] you use that? [03:28] all the time [03:28] !

[04:18] I do not believe so; lemme check. [04:19] hrm, don't really know what those errors mean [04:19] Checked the packaging. I see no mention of SDHC. [04:19] I'd try giving it a format and seeing what happens [04:19] hmm. [04:19] format /dev/sdd1 ? [04:20] I tried /dev/sdd stupidly and mount said it won't do full-disk formatting [04:20] I mean.. I guess I normally do /dev/sdd1. Lemme check. [04:20] mkfs.vfat [04:20] em [04:20] ok [04:20] it works [04:20] thanks!

[07:06] Roey: pidgin is the most popular communication program on Linux (at least in Hungary), i am sure it supports webcams (but i got used to aMSN) [07:06] well wouldnt/shouldnt it be in the "storage media"... thats where my internal and external hard drives are .... my usb thumb drives too but not my player [07:06] illmortal: you use Linux, and Linux programs for this, right? [07:07] bvalek2, this hard drive is specifically an ext2 storage hard drive for both windows XP and Ubuntu. [07:07] witakr: when i tried to connect my camera, it was on a separate place, not together with storage media [07:08] bvalek2: aye [07:08] Egen [07:08] :) [07:08] bvalek2: I'm wondering why I don't see 30 fps here.... it stays at 7-8 [07:09] illmortal: i only partitioned with install CDs so far. Linux install CD made proper partitions, and i assume, that this is their regular tool. Windows partitioners do weird things with HDs [07:09] bvalek2: thats oddd... any hint or suggestions as to where i should look? im not yet familiar with this file system... im still used to windows [07:09] Right... and I've never used Windows to format nor partition this drive nor any drive. I strictly use Linux. [07:10] amarok cant see it either if that helps bvalek2 [07:11] witakr: try looking around, maybe in dolphin. in the worst case (if there is no support for you player in 8.04), you need Kubuntu 8.10, because the new kernel may support your device. but lets be optimistic, and assume, that its there, just hidden somewhere :) [07:13] well id love to upgrade the new kde looks awesome but i cant seem to burn an images that lets me install from they always ended up with " corrupt or missing vital files" [07:13] Roey: maybe you can set up your camera somewhere. or, your connection to the person you are talking with is slow [07:13] bvalek2: my webcam says it supports 1600x1200 and 30fps; I chose more conservative settings but luvcview says it can't get those: Frame size: 960x720 (requested size 1024x768 is not supported by device) [07:13] Frame rate: 15/1 fps (requested frame rate 30 fps is not supported by device) [07:13] [07:13] Roey: my camera is very minimal compared to this. i am afraid, i can help with fancy cam :) [07:14] heh [07:14] can anyone tell me how to swap out the kernel properly [07:14] so it doesnt crash [07:14] witakr: did you download the iso file, and burned to a CD? did it work without problems? [07:14] im using this to upgrade the kernel https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive [07:15] szrhawaii: try ##kernel too [07:15] well i installed8.04 from a disc mailed to me from the website but when i burn the image(in windows and kubuntu) it hangs up or wont install [07:16] has anyone swapped kernels before [07:16] witakr: burning the image to a CD, and installing with that CD are two distinct things. where did you got problems? [07:17] Does anyone know of a program that Ubuntu can use in order to find any hidden files or hidden partitions on a hard drive? My reformatted hard drive claims that 7GB of space is used atm and I don't know how. [07:17] for your hard ware illmortal [07:18] installing frrom the cd i burn my self... i dont know if it was the software or what but when i burn the iso and then i try to install from it... it hangs up [07:18] its to save your bios settings and hardware configurations [07:18] what do you mean for my hardware? [07:18] 7GB/!?!?! [07:18] Jees.... 1-2gb is more realistic -.- [07:19] is there any way I can rid these configuration files? This is a storage hard drive, nothing else. [07:21] witakr: if the CD that you burned from ISO can boot, and installer starts, then you CD must be good. the problem occurs during the install then. did you have problems with connecting to the internet during an install? when its downloading packages [07:23] illmortal: You can use the program df (disk space free) or du (disk space used) to find out where the big files are [07:23] Also, it'd be worth checking the partition tables to make sure all of the space is being partitioned [07:23] after running kubuntu/kde 4.2 for a hour, it always begins to slow down [07:24] cstoner, how do i check the partition tables?... [07:24] don't you think kde 4.2 has serious memory leaks? [07:24] yao_ziyuan turn off your deskto effects [07:24] there should only be one partition on this hard drive =\ [07:24] you can use fdisk, but be careful you don't write anything [07:24] szrhawaii: all right [07:25] yao_ziyuan: KDE 4.2 is beta software, it is still tested. if you find a problem with it, i am sure that the KDE development team will be very happy if you send them a bugreport [07:25] cstoner... I'm gettin an odd error. [07:25] yao_ziyuan thats what was slowing down my comp when i downloaded 4.2 [07:25] ie "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" (for SATA drives) or "sudo fdisk /dev/hda" (for ATA) PLEASE read the man page for fdisk first, though [07:25] ah ok hol don [07:25] what sort of "odd error" [07:26] bvalek2: the performance regression is so obvious that anyone using it for more than 1 hour will notice [07:26]
