[00:03] hello! [00:03] i've a problem with adept [00:03] btw. apt [00:04] I messed up my software lists and would like to reset them to the default lists [00:04] i only added one or two [00:04] is there a way to do that? [00:05] how does a correct mac adress look if i want to set up a new one? the question is how do i know what numbers to chose ? [00:08] s0101: search the web for "mac adress prefixes" [00:08] Do you know any linux suite for mobile Nokia E65? [00:09] thanks [00:10] Neremor , open adept /sources/edit software sources/kubuntu software or third party sources and highlight the sources you want to remove , click remove [00:10] BluesKaj: He didn't hang around :( [00:11] nice , another guy with no patience [00:12] I guess I was bust trying figure when he left ...seems to happen a lot ...instant gratification or nothing :) [00:12] bust=busy [00:13] BluesKaj: I figure the guy with the crashed upgrade isn't going to be back anytime soon [00:15] greetings [00:15] ahha [00:15] is there still someone who could attend my problem with failed dist-upgrade ? [00:15] BluesKaj: Heh, irony [00:16] well i am on windoze now :( [00:16] StR|Sangreal , post your souces.list on pastebin [00:16] i cannot switch my wireless radio on [00:17] the kernel and the K are fine [00:17] yet some settings went lost [00:17] ugh fuck kubuntu it sucks so much compared to windowss!!!!! [00:17] i need to restart my usb and i cant even do that [00:17] and some apps of the previous distro are broken as well [00:18] and - i am fully lost in k4 [00:18] but now the main plot turned into switching on the radio :) [00:19] gonna watch some tv ...relax my back [00:20] !language | null__ [00:20] null__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:20] can you help me genii [00:20] genii pls could you first resolve my problem? [00:20] null__: I'm soon leaving, sorry [00:20] :(!! [00:21] StR|Sangreal: Since the dependencies are all messy, it is almost impossible to fix. I suggest install fresh [00:22] ok, a general question [00:22] who thinks that .10 with k4 is better or worthier than .04 with k3? [00:23] StR|Sangreal: I'm currently sticking to my 8.04 / 3.5.10 box [00:23] me too [00:24] but - probably k4 is how user oriented systems do will develop in the future, isnt it? [00:25] null__: "need to restart usb" is fairly vague. You have some specific usb device which doesn't work? etc. A more specific description and someone may know about your issue in detail and be able to assist (just not me currently) [00:25] probably [00:25] i mean, i was fine with my .04 [00:26] but as i updated and broke the system, how shall i cope with the fact that it all was in vain? [00:26] beer [00:27] mister-tea-lapto: Proast! [00:28] ok.. who recommends me to install a new stable intrepid instead of former .04 with the older k? [00:29] Could anyone tell me how to change my java classpath permanantly and globally please? [00:29] * mister-tea-lapto buys the channel a round [00:30] thanks :) where can i find a slovak intrepid distro? [00:30] genii: Well, all my usb devices stopped working and I'm getting floods of crazy errors to syslog. usb_storage is busy doing a cwd and wont die, so i can't remove usbcore. trying to rmmod ehci_hcd hangs and i can't kill modprobe. /etc/init.d/udev restart does not fix anything [00:31] Zehava: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217936&highlight=classpath [00:31] genii thanks [00:32] null__: The udev restart would also be your usb restart. So thats not going to help much. that it is the usb-storage might be some issue with external usb hd or usb stick [00:34] my load is 15.xx with 10% cpu, and lsof confirms usbhid-up has about 20 files open (this happened due to a brown out which made my ups usb cry and it broke all usb); lsof also shows about 20 open for an lsusb i can't kill [00:34] !de [00:34] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[00:34] i have physically unplugged all usb devices [00:34] also, my root hard drive is failing and i don't have a backup [00:34] if i reboot i'll prolly lose everything [00:35] null__: Sounds like you have some possible hardware damage due to the brownout [00:35] i have a backup on an external usb hd which now has a corrupt superblock i can't recover. :) [00:36] null__: You can't sudo kill -9 ? [00:36] *lsusb [00:36] oh i've tried [00:37] i've -9'ed every possible process [00:37] anything related to lsusb, modprobe, and nut (the ups) won't die [00:39] pls could sb advise me where to find a multilingual or slovak distro? [00:39] null__: Nothing immediate comes to mind as some solution. [00:39] i'm going to kill this x session and see if that does anything [00:40] I need to be /away for a few hours now. [00:41] pls does anybody know where to download a multilingual dvd with kubuntu 8.10? [00:42] Isn't there some sort of GUI for setting the class paths? I've used it before but can't remember the name and thi is a new install [00:42] yeah that didn't help [00:42] !ping [00:42] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [00:43] hmmm can't pm ubottu [00:44] oh man [00:45] i killed x, the music stopped, and now i can hear 'impending fan failure' from a hardware piece [00:45] jussi01: hey I can't pm the bot [00:50] he must be busy [01:00] kubuntu is king [01:03] Is this the right palce to ask a question about crontab?

[01:25] Let me see what kinfocenter says about it [01:25] Maybe I should update my kernel [01:25] kinfocenter shows no module for the device [01:27] I believe there is a step in there to fix that.

You'll have to sub out 'aptitude' for 'apt-get' [01:28] hello === luiz is now known as apow [01:29] is there a way to make kde put the stuff on the desktop actually on the desktop? [01:30] on kde 4.2 there will be an option folder view as desktop i believe. [01:30] but so far I guess not [01:30] augh [01:30] I like folderview, I've got one for a desktop, one for my media folder, and another for my file server. [01:31] too many channels... [01:31] Central elements of the desktop experience have been improved to provide a better experience. These include grouping and multiple row layout in the task bar, icon hiding in the system tray, notifications and job tracking by Plasma, and the ability to have icons on the desktop again by using a Folder View as the desktop background [01:32] so am i able to not use a seperate folderview widget?

[01:41] :-P [01:42] some Fujifilms and Canons also use PTP exclusively, which sucks [01:42] buy Canon or Leica ;-) [01:42] my powerhsot 75 works [01:42] ......shot [01:43] do you have to use a specific program or does a drive appear somewhere so you can copy your photographs like a pendrive? [01:45] Mister JontheEchidna i don't have a dual monitor and i already did and nothing :( [01:46] no, just connect [01:46] it doesn't have to be dual monitors exactly, even an unconnected tv out port will trigger the flickering [01:46] omarco I use digikam [01:46] but i already did that before and it keeps blinking [01:46] Danu: so you turned off the service, logged out and logged back in? [01:47] yes [01:47] denis_: Hmm, I think it uses PTP. Not sure if digikam also manages photos from mass storage devices (it probably should...) === omarco is now known as omarco_pizza [01:47] i did that before like 2 weeks ago [01:48] hmm [01:48] omarco oh for sure, it only recognizes it as mass storage device, not as Canon... [01:48] version 2 is almost out [01:48] then it should be mass storage. Lucky! :-P [01:49] Anyone has "downgrade" to KDE 3 on intrepid (i read in some place that it can be with some repositories)? [01:49] oh sorry, I meant 0.10 is almost out [01:49] Danu: you might try upgrading to KDE 4.2, which doesn't have the problematic patch at all [01:50] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42641 [01:50] http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 [01:50] is "beta" [01:51] it's still better than 4.1, I can assure you [01:52] ok Thanks Mr. JontheEchidna [01:52] You're welcome === yannick__ is now known as BBM-5 [01:58] hey [01:59] iwlist ra0 scan shows the local ssids in my area.

[02:04] Mr. JontheEchidna, Sorry the bother but when i try to upgrade says "it can't be install the actualizations", try a Parcial Actualization [02:05] parcial?? [02:05] and then when i click "parcial actualization" then nothing happens [02:05] could you do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from the terminal and paste the output where it fails? [02:05] I think you mean parTial [02:06] denis_: probably a translation [02:06] oh [02:06] sorry, partial [02:07] i've been learnin' english since a month ago [02:07] hola!

[02:18] and i havent got much experience with advanced linux features [02:18] well I think you just have to have a guest account [02:19] StR|Sangreal: good thing is that you don't have to bother about killing the OS without the rights ;-) [02:20] sorry, you don't have to worry [02:20] some games and a computing algebra system i used were only licensed for win [02:20] and it is a resitude from our scholar system as well [02:21] StR|Sangreal: sorry, what's a resitude?

[03:39] sounds like their multiboot dvd - has issues [03:39] i had it in the / then i copied in /boot then i edited few lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:40] dear friend i am in India it takes lots of time to download [03:40] If i recall right some times the one in / is a link tot he one in /boot/ [03:40] the speed is 40 kbps [03:40] ya symlink [03:40] guys am i going right by downloading this [03:40] If you had a vmlinuz then you got one..
