[02:15] I used a kubuntu liveCD to resize a windows partition on a laptop (using gparted) so i can install kubuntu. The power was cut during the process. How can i repair/recover the partition? [02:17] gparted now calls it an unknown partition and I can't seem to find a way to access it [02:18] hi [02:18] I was wondering if it was safe to use QTParted to redistribute the partitions for my windows part of my computer to shrink it from 50 GB to 40 GB so that I can put more space on my laptop? [02:20] you should probably just use windows to redistribute partitions [02:20] err, at least the windows ones [02:20] I forgot how to do that in windows, without causing it to reformat itself [02:21] any thoughts on recovering a messed up partition stnormal? [02:21] nope, sorry [02:21] alright [02:22] hmm, I guess you can only do it if you have winXPMCE or later... vanilla XP doesn't have the resize option [02:22] are you running vista or XPMCE? [02:26] XPMCE ? [02:27] ie, XP, or ME, or CE ? [02:27] no, XP Media Center Edition [02:27] I'm getting this weird error, something about 0x72, 0x80 [02:28] my pops has it on his computer, and I'm fairly certain I've managed partitions on it... I could be wrong, though... you might need Vista to resize active partitions with windows software. If you don't have Vista, maybe someone else can tell you how to resize partitions safely with gparted [02:28] Sysenter_Do_Call 0x12/0x2f [02:29] can anyone help with this? [02:29] Hello all, I have just installed Kubuntu 8.10 and need some help...

[02:30] I have it plugged into my TV and it detected the default resolution (1920x1080) properly, but the text is HUGE [02:30] way too huge to manage [02:30] but when I go into the system setup it says everything is set to 9pt font [02:31] I have turned on the Nvidia drivers [02:31] does kubuntu for x86-64 come with the 32bit gcc development package? [02:31] any ideas? [02:31] wow ... I have video scaling with the vesa driver ... that's different [02:31] or do I need to install that myself? [02:31] stnormal: I've got XP Pro on it. Hopefully the last MS OS I'll have for a wihle [02:31] what is the difference between QT Parted and GParted? [02:32] bdizzle: different toolkit, they're separately developed, but they both use libparted to do all the work [02:32] okay [02:33] I'm getting this weird error, something about 0x72, 0x80 [02:33] Sysenter_Do_Call 0x12/0x2f [02:33] can anyone help with this?

[05:56] check the options on the toolbar [05:57] dilan: What do you mean it drops? [05:57] sound stucks [05:58] resno: is that done from terminal also? [05:58] sidney: no the acually mixer [05:58] okay..................guys got it. it works fine now. thanks a million [05:58] dilan: So it plays for a bit and then stops, then picks up again in the same spot? [05:59] can i use my kubuntu system as server to share files btw 2 xp desktops with router? [05:59] dilan: Ok you need to save the settings or it may revert back to the way it was after a reboot [05:59] wizardslovak: yes, you need to set up samba shares [05:59] samba is for that isnt it? will i be able to see files in XPs true my kubuntu? [06:00] wizardslovak: samaba will make it look like another windows share [06:00] dilan: Exit with Esc, then type "sudo alsactl store 0 [06:00] !samba [06:00] is there something else? or samba is only one? i tried samba couple times but no luck [06:00] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[06:03] resno did u use apt-get first? [06:03] yes i have the app on my achine wizardslovak [06:04] !cifs [06:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about cifs [06:05] resno: It's not in the repo's I take it? Installing from source is the least preferred option as it doesn't do dependency handling like the package managers [06:06] ok people i am oout for today [06:06] good night [06:06] powertool08: problem is its not in the repos. [06:06] wizardslovak: night. [06:06] one more think [06:06] how to install from fource? [06:06] got another problem....i accidenty removed the task bar how can i get it back? [06:06] powertool08: its songbird. from the people that mozilla, their sound player [06:07] resno: But if that is the only option, tar xjfv? check tar -h I forget what each switch does, you will need one or more of those but not all. Anyway, tar -xjfv Songbird_...i686.tar.gz and it will extract to a folder in whatever directory you are currently in, there's an option to extract elsewhere, again, check tar -h. [06:08] i forgot everything about linux [06:08] i ment source [06:08] !source [06:08] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [06:08] dilan: alt+f2 type kicker and ok/enter [06:09] it didn't work [06:09] resno: then cd into the directory you just created by extracting, it may have an install script, if so then "./install_script_name" or "sh install_script_name" [06:09] dilan: are you using kde 3.5 or kde 4? [06:09] ok ill plray tomorrow with source packages [06:10] nite [06:10] resno: Also the script may not be set to executable, if not "chmod +x install_script_name" [06:10] powertool08: ok, its more complex then i want to deal with at this late hour. [06:11] i am quite tired and have work in the am. [06:11] resno: If there isn't an install script then use "./configure" when that finishes then "make" then when that finishes "sudo make install" [06:11] resno: I like to chain them all together with && between each command, that way if configure or make fails then it won't waste time trying to install when it won't work anyway [06:12] powertool08: haha ok. [06:12] resno: Ok, its not quite as hard as it sounds, unless it doesn't configure or make properly, then its a true PITA [06:14] i just searched and found a script to install it powertool08 [06:15] resno: Awesome, scripts are easy, just check that its executable, you can do that with ls -l and you get something like rwrwx or some variation, if it has the x then you're good to go, if not use the chmod +x command. [06:16] someone please tell me how to get my taskbar back [06:16] dilan: Which version of kde are you running? [06:18] dilan: run "kde-config --version" in a terminal if you don't know [06:18] powertool08: haha it didnt work. well anyway, its 1am.. ive got work in a few hours. night all thanks powertool [06:18] resno: no problem, good luck with it later [06:18] its 3.5.10 [06:19] dilan: Ok, run "ps aux | grep kicker" and paste the output here [06:19] I rebooted now i'm back to no shares [06:20] in a terminal? [06:20] dilan: Yes. [06:20] 8034 0.0 0.0 3236 812 pts/2 S+ 11:50 0:00 grep kicker [06:20] dilan: Ok, now run "kicker" from the terminal [06:22] dilan: Did the taskbar come back or did it throw out an error? [06:22] it says command not found [06:23] Is it possible to make Konqueror use default fonts when browsing? [06:23] it didn't appear [06:23] dilan: Thats odd... [06:24] yes [06:24] dilan: When did it disappear? Did you do any updates or a restart before hand or did it crash in the middle of your session? [06:24] i accidently removed it [06:25] dilan: How did you accidentaly remove it? [06:25] i've right clicked it & removed it [06:26] dilan: Ok, run "sudo aptitude reinstall kicker" [06:28] dilan: Let me know when that finishes running. [06:28] i can't type my password [06:29] can someone tell me if this is a proper command sudo /etc/fstab [06:29] sidney: No its not. [06:30] sidney: If you want to edit fstab the use sudo nano /etc/fstab [06:30] dilan: Is it rejecting the password or just not letting you type it? [06:30] powertool08: thanks [06:30] doesn't let me to type it [06:31] dilan: It doesn't show the characters or stars as you type. When it prompts for the password type it as usual, you won't see anything change though, then press enter. [06:35] night guys [06:35] im off for the night [06:36] Haha, but you just joined. [06:36] :( i am just saying night [06:36] :P [06:36] Ok, goodnight :) [06:36] i have to get up in like 2 hours lolol [06:37] goodnight powertool [06:37] That sucks, I have 6. [06:37] heheh [06:37] ill be back tommorrow cya soon [06:37] Ok, bye [06:43] from where do i get the server name [06:44] What server name? [06:45] powertool08: i need to add this line //servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [06:46] sidney: You were using samba right? //servername is the name of the computer you're trying to connect to, so whatever your XP/Vista machine is named, sharename would be the folder you're sharing on the Windows machine [06:48] powertool08: thaaanks again [06:48] sidney: np [06:54] powertool08: I think i need to purchase a good book any suggestions [06:54] sidney: Just a book in general or a book to learn something specific? [06:55] help!i download a torent and azureus open it and azureus went in a language i dont understand look like japanees i tink [06:55] lol [06:56] Have any japanese reading friends? [06:56] lol dont need that [06:56] i just need someone who has azureus install [06:56] to tell me where to go to change the language [06:57] u tool [06:57] xp-killer: I think the quickest solution might be to reinstall with "sudo aptitude reinstall azureus" in a terminal [06:57] I don't use azureus so I don't know the menu layout [06:58] powertool08: i i'm not real sure where to start these websites are real general. They seem to be for people that already have a knowledge of linux commands and terms [06:58] powertool08: then install it i can bear to lose my 3 gig download already past half way [06:58] sidney: What part do you not understand? [06:59] xp-killer: I'd do a google search, find out where it stores download pieces, move the file, reinstall, then move it back. Although I don't think it would overwrite that folder, just the program files [07:00] no chances [07:00] i rather ask google where to change the language [07:00] xp-killer: ok [07:00] powertool08: is not the mountname the same as the share name? I read for an hour then it ask for something i never expected [07:01] sidney: No, the sharename is the folder you are sharing on your windows machine, the mountname is where you are mounting it locally [07:02] i suppose it's looking for a paththe linux computer is the mount [07:03] sidney: Yes, the mountname can be anywhere on your local linux machine, you choose where you want it to show up, as long as the folder exists you shouldn't have any problems [07:07] test [07:07] !test | eigentard [07:07] eigentard: sigh... again? I'm busy here, I already told you it failed. [07:07] :P [07:15] hello all again. i just cant put down the computer, i was intending to go all linux, but wine doesnt fully support my program. is it possible to dual boot with xp and keep this current install? [07:17] resno: Yes, look at GParted, if the linux partition takes 100% of the disk you have to have some free space on the partition, shrink it, then create a new partition and install windows, then windows will overwrite grub so you have to reinstall grub and add windows to the boot list === rob is now known as Guest89263 [07:18] powertool08: ok, thats what my question was focused on. i know windows can be a hog and wont play friendly. [07:19] resno: Windows prefers to be installed first and as the first partition on the disk, you can install it second and on other partitions, it just adds steps to the process [07:19] powertool08: yea, i wasnt intending to do it this way, but linux kinda took over the drive. [07:19] resno: lol, Linux knows what's best for you [07:20] but linux kinda ran over my windows install [07:20] powertool08: yea... i guess so [07:20] resno: Really? How did you install? wubi? [07:20] nah.. off a live cd. [07:21] powertool08: i messed up somewhere, i got an error msg and thought by going back it would fix it... nope [07:21] resno: Odd, I've never had that happen to me, although I don't normally do the 3 click do it all for me setup, I like to do a manual install and change partitions and mountpoints [07:22] powertool08: oh, it worked fine on my work computer, of course the one where iwanted to keep stuff it all blows up [07:22] resno: hmm, sorry. [07:22] powertool08: how do i go about installing grub? [07:22] !grub [07:22] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:22] heh... simple enough [07:23] ok, thanks again powertool08 i am realling heading to bed now [07:23] resno: factoids are awesome when you know the right keyword. I've picked up a few over the months of being in channels [07:23] resno: Ok, goodnight [07:31] does anyone know anything about wallpaper tray? [07:32] What is wallpaper tray? [07:34] changes wallpaper automatically [07:35] joshua__: What's the problem with it? [07:35] !lilo [07:35] lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [07:36] I'd recommend LILO because it's not retarded and can boot a XFS partition [07:36] lol [07:36] Most people don't use XFS though [07:36] I don't believe GRUB will ever be fixed, it boots Ext3 and Ext4 and thats really all they care about [07:37] hi folk [07:37] i downloaded the latest versiion [07:37] and i tried to compile it [07:37] and... [07:37] and its not working [07:37] MisterFlibble: could you not make the boot partition ext and everything else XFS? [07:38] i ran the command ./configure [07:38] as usual [07:38] I gave up on GRUB after trying to use it once, it sees /boot on an XFS partition and all you get is "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB......." scrolling down the screen [07:38] and make install [07:38] and nothing [07:38] powertool08: Yes, you can, and then you can mount / as XFS [07:38] joshua__: Its in the repos, just sudo apt-get wallpaper-tray and there's no need to compile [07:39] but Ubuntu doesn't like to remove old kernels automatically, so that's why I usually tell people to use Ext3, cause Ubuntu will happily stockpile old Linux boot images til the partition fills up [07:39] and then it gets a little cranky [07:40] MisterFlibble: true, I've got about 4 in mine right now, everytime I reboot I remember I should clean it up, then I don't do it immediately and forget [07:40] I found that out at one point when Was using Edgy Eft and wondered where all my disk space was [07:40] that only gives me an older version [07:40] 4.4 or something [07:40] turns out I had kernels from Dapper and Breezy too [07:40] and every time I got a patch that installed a new kernel :P [07:41] Ubuntu *really* needs to do what Fedora does, and rig it to only keep the active kernel and your last two before that [07:41] joshua__: Is there a feature you're wanting in the newest one that the repo version doesn't have? If the repo version does the job you need it for, I'd go that way because it will find updates eventually, when installing from source its up to you to remember to update it [07:42] that way. the system cleans itself up and the user never needs to be any the wiser [07:42] MisterFlibble: I'd like that [07:42] hello. after having used intrepid for a while, i have switched back to hardy on my dell xps m1530. i wanna go back to intrepid (nvidia has released new drivers, finally), but i used to sometimes get a blank display after start-up, sometimes it would beep (through the soundcard, not speakers!) terribly, then start or not (remain blank). sometimes it would also go blank, but the x server would work, while the consoles do not (i'm pretty sure [07:42] they work, they are just not visible). has anybody ever experienced such a thing? [07:43] powertool08: I set a CRON job to make a defragmentation pass on my main volume every day B-) [07:43] CRON is really pretty nifty [07:43] how do i update? [07:44] MisterFlibble: awesome, but I thought you don't really need to defrag with journaling fs [07:44] joshua__: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [07:44] powertool08: Thats a myth, nobody ever bothered to write a defrag tool for Ext3, doesn't mean it doesn't fragment [07:44] joshua__: or you can go through the K menu and find adept updater if you prefer [07:45] it fragments more slowly than something like NTFS, but it still gets slower after months or years [07:45] MisterFlibble: ahh [07:45] powertool08: You can mount an Ext3 volume as Ext2 and run e2defrag, but it destroys the Ext3 journal [07:45] They're making an e4defrag to take care of Ext4 volumes [07:46] MisterFlibble: so what happens when you destroy the journal? Will it rebuild on next boot? [07:46] im using gnome [07:47] joshua__: Oh, the aptitude command will still work, I forget what gnome named the updater, you can ask in #ubuntu if you want the gui [07:47] anyone know if they solved the issue with ID 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. USB 1.1 WebCam -- it uses the zc3xx [07:47] powertool08: You risk destroying all data on the volume [07:47] MisterFlibble: Excellent! [07:48] so the de facto way to defrag Ext3 is to tar the partition and then make a new Ext3 file system (formatting) [07:48] then untar everything from the backup [07:48] lol [07:49] MisterFlibble: haha, well I don't think my /home is ext3, can't rememeber.... and I upgraded with hardy so I'm not too worried about fragmentation yet [07:49] no need to defrag in linux [07:49] it's why I never use Ext3, it's disk management tools are a joke, Ext4 will fix that though [07:49] when i tried to install wallpapoz it got size mismatch error... what is that? [07:49] Ext3 is painfully slow, and you can't defrag it [07:50] joshua__: I have no idea, I suggest google and #ubuntu, its typically more active than here. [07:50] XFS is the best choice usually [07:50] MisterFlibble: try reiserfs then. or jfs, xfs, etc. === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:50] no need to defrag in linux [07:50] LOL! reiserfs kills your wife though... [07:51] Hans Resier is in prison for murdering his wife, JFS has one guy working on it part time [07:51] insmod: Yeah tere is [07:51] *there [07:51] ah no [07:51] MisterFlibble: see, some conversations have to go a predefined path [07:51] chris_: http://valleywag.gawker.comhttp://valleywag.gawker.com/385449/murderer+developed-file-systems-introduce-new-features/385449/murderer+developed-file-systems-introduce-new-features [07:51] That must be why there's a defrag utility that ships with Ext4 [07:51] and XFS [07:51] who cares? [07:51] MisterFlibble: I have been using it since 1996 and never had to [07:52] you want a filesystem or what? [07:52] MisterFlibble: that;s more for looks then anything [07:52] chris_: well regardless of the wife killing, theres a decent chance it won't be maintained as well as before the wife killing. [07:52] chris_: I know there were some former Namesys employees maintaining Reiser4 [07:52] reiserfs is pretty well maintained i think [07:52] MisterFlibble: dosen't do very much -- not noticeable [07:53] you can use Reiser4 in Ubuntu, but you must patch the kernel [07:53] reiser4 seems to be pretty stable, but patching the kernel can be a bitch [07:53] every time you get an update :P [07:53] that too [07:54] or you can ignore Ubuntu kernels and jsut make your own with Reiser4 included from the kernel.org sources [07:54] but no telling how that could go [07:55] ther is a how-to on the forums for compiling your own kernel. it's pretty good [07:55] Ubuntu doesn't even include most of the packages you need to build a kernel [07:55] so you'd have to download like 200+ megs of packages to get the tools you need [07:55] i'd doubt that [07:56] the G++ package was like 50 megs all by itself [07:56] ubuntu doesn't include almost anything to compile your own stuff by default. why should it? [07:57] chris_: in case you need it? what if you don't have access to the internet to download from the repos but need to compile something? [07:57] chris_: Well, they have to stay on one 700 meg CD image, so that means they naturally have to triage things by what fits and what they need [07:58] powertool08: get the dvd then. i think it's in there [07:58] chris_: I did :) [07:58] LiveCDs bother me, they have all kinds of crap you don't want, and miss lots of stuff you do [07:59] but I believe they call that "sensible defaults", no two people want the same packages [07:59] so they take their best guess at what most people want [07:59] Its against my argument of needing something in case you don't have internet, but I think that Ubuntu should have a net install (I haven't seen it if it does) like Arch, that way after the install you are 100% up to date and don't have to get all the updates since the cd was made. [08:00] the LiveCD is pretty useless if you have a system without the Internet [08:00] but you can go through packages.ubuntu.com on a system that does and store the packages on some kind of physical media [08:13] svn: Malformed network data how can i fix the error [08:16] you can also go and make an 'offline' update. if you have a portable device, that is [08:19] the source server and at two city [08:19] chris_: I can control the two computer and i wanto fix it and make it work correct [08:27] hatoyu: sorry, can you brief me again, pls? what doesn't work? [08:29] when svn co svn://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/ it's tell me the error svn: Malformed network data [08:30] but in intranet the svn server work correct for long time === brad_ is now known as skyion [08:30] now I goto another city use internet it's erro [08:34] hey all [08:35] I want to install koffice 2.0 beta 3 (I think the latest), but it isn't showing up in adept (I have unsupported updates checked) [08:36] look on kubuntu.org for the post with the repos.... [08:37] sorry, what post? [08:38] chris_: I fix it the svn port must 3690 [08:40] hmmm, kthesaurus understands dirty language too [08:40] lmao [08:40] lmfao === tidus_ is now known as Tidus [08:41] hatoyu: cool [08:44] could anyone help me? [08:44] i don't think so [08:45] help is not avaible [08:45] just as usual [08:45] life.. [08:45] yeah, figures [08:49] lol [08:49] is there a page on kubuntu org news that men,tions koffice beta ? [08:50] aftertaf: you mean http://www.kubuntu.org/koffice-2-beta-3 ? [08:50] I had to force overwrite some files to get Koffice to install :P [08:50] not sure :) [08:50] http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=koffice+2.0+beta+3+kubuntu [08:51] i love that function... So silly :) [08:52] lol [08:52] you need the intrepid backports in your sources.list [08:53] what is Akonadi server? [08:53] aftertaf: how to do that? [08:54] sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list [08:54] better to sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup first [08:54] you know vim? [08:54] if not replace by kate [08:54] I prefer nano, but ok [08:56] so, you have backports in there? [08:57] deb-src http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse [08:57] that one I think?

I just upgraded the packages "libssl0.9.8" and "openssl". Why does usn say "After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes"?

So I added the symlink to make the portal.php look like index.php and now I can't access the forum at all [15:26] when I click the link to go to index.php it still sends me back to portal.php === brent_ is now known as BrentDC [15:31] Zehava: how do you even still have an index.php if there's a symlink there? [15:31] I have index.php and portal.php both real files inside the /var/www directory [15:32] I need the server to default to portal.php first instead of index.php [15:32] what's the symlink? [15:32] it is right now ln -s ./portal.php ./index.php [15:32] so it defaults to portal now, but when I click the link to take me to index, it still goes back to portal [15:32] that would make index.php a symlink not a real file [15:32] right so it wont' read the real file at all? [15:33] you can't have a symlink and a real file of the same name in the same place at the same time === ubuntu_ is now known as Joschi [15:33] not sure which you have, but based on how it's behaving it sounds like it's the symlink [15:33] yes it is [15:33] after upgrading to intrepid, digikam no longer launches when I connect my camera. Any ideas how to correct this? [15:33] so, first you need an index.php :) [15:33] if I remove the ./index symlink completely it shows on the browser my files instead of showing the portal [15:33] I have an index.php [15:34] it's just in another sub directory [15:34] but it's a symlink [15:34] ah. [15:34] I want the ./portal to show up first [15:34] then your link to index.php needs to point into that subdirectory [15:34] like [15:35] right, but how do I get the server to show the protal.php still? [15:35] cause right now, with no symlink to index.php it just shows the file directory [15:35] wait, symlink *to* index.php? [15:36] by default, the server should look for a file (or symlink) called index.php... *in the requested directory* [15:37] I did this "sudo rm ./index.php [15:37] so you'll get index.php (which points to portal.php) in your root directory, if that's what you're talking about, and if you have an index.php in a subdir called foo, that's what you should get if you go to http://yoursite/foo/ [15:37] and now when I go to the url it shows me the file directory [15:37] okay I'll work on that, thanks [15:37] well yeah. that's what was taking you to portal.php. === ek_ is now known as ek [15:38] u could make a index.php with Header linked on portal.php [15:38] 2 lines of code [15:39] Netziro: yeah but that would generate additional requests, eat up additional bandwidth, make the page take longer to load [15:39] how do i know whats the glibc2 version installed? [15:40] tboxmy: apt-cache policy package [15:40] I'm trying to find the real index.php right now [15:40] Yes, of course. but an header will forward request to new page... so the additional requests will be only on the first time [15:41] isn't an include :) [15:41] jussi01: I tried but got W: Unable to locate package glibc2 [15:42] my apps need glibc 2.3.2 to run [15:42] well crud, I don't know what the old index.php pointed to [15:44] Zehava: show me the dir three of this site [15:44] how? [15:45] I cannot find the forum index.php page at all right now [15:45] now that I removed the index.php symlink that was originally here [15:46] are u sure old original index.php was a symlink or a real file? [15:46] probably a real file that I removed [15:47] not sure [15:47] if it was a real file my rm statment would have removed it, so I'm putting it back now [15:48] after upgrading to intrepid, digikam no longer launches when I connect my camera. Any ideas how to correct this? [15:48] so, once I have both portal.php and index.php the real files in the directory, how can I tell the server to default to portal.php instead of index.php? [15:50] index.php contains lines of code? [15:50] Zehava: Like I said in #ubuntu, this is really an Apache issue that the folks in #apache should be able to help you with quickly. [15:50] yes, it is a real file, and right now, if I go to portal.php it still sends me to the index.php [15:51] pici they at apache told me to alter a file I don't even have [15:51] Zehava: Which file? [15:51] .htaccess [15:51] u have to make it [15:51] I don't have that file inside this directory [15:51] Zehava: You need to create that file. [15:52] http://bugs.kde.org/180147 <---is this something typical or is it a problem on their side? ie what useful thing can i tell this person [15:52] .htaccess files are optional [15:52] and I tried that, and I created one and it told me I didn't have access to index.php when I tried to go to my site in browser [15:52] okay I'll go try there some more, thanks for the help [15:53] u have to write in Options -Indexes -MultiViews -FollowSymlinks [15:54] and [15:54] AllowOverride None [15:54] Order allow,deny [15:54] Allow from all [15:57] is it possible to remove a symlink without removing the file it's self if there is both? [15:57] never mind [15:57] if it's a soft-link then just plain 'rm' will do it === tweakedeh_ is now known as tweakedeh === tweakedeh is now known as TweakedEh === TweakedEh is now known as tweakedeh_ === tweakedeh_ is now known as tweakedeh === tweakedeh is now known as tweakedeh__ [16:12] ah, i think, it's right here :) [16:12] good evening [16:13] Is it possible to tell Dolphin that it must use the mount-option "nounix" when mounting smb-shares? [16:13] (Intrepid) [16:14] i dident think dolphin mounted the smb shares.. it sort of browsed them [16:14] but i could be wrong. [16:14] hm... dolphin shows me up all possible shares [16:14] when i click them, it asks for username and password... [16:14] its showing the shares... but access one and check the 'mount' command in a terminal [16:15] accessing them is not always 'mounting' them. [16:15] but i need to pass the parameter "nounix" to the mount-command [16:15] I want to use a NAS [16:16] when a share is password-protected, smbclient crashes with an segmentation fault [16:16] i can use the share when i mount it with -o nounix === mdwold is now known as operatorx [16:34] salut a tous [16:35] hello [16:36] i have a question [16:36] i want to build a server from a pentium3 [16:36] it sounds mad but its not so bad if the server is slow [16:36] i just have the question how can i make a minimal installation [16:36] a Pent 3 can be a ok file server. There are server install disks at the ubuntu download sites.. [16:37] and should i use xdm as minimal gui? [16:37] or use a normal insatll. and just dont start up X. if you want to occasinally go into X to congireu stuff you still have the option [16:37] xdm is a login manaager. its not the GUI itself. it uses X [16:37] ok [16:37] sorry... [16:37] by the way im a german but my english is good enough thank you [16:38] but i want to know [16:38] a p3 is more than fast enough [16:38] Theres a dozen + ubuntu variants that have minimal guis, Crunchbang is one that comes with fluxbox, fluxbuntu is another. [16:38] ok [16:38] i have just debian [16:38] You could always install/use a lighter desktop later. [16:38] on the system [16:38] but i needed avm [16:38] stick for wlan [16:38] and that runs only over ubuntu [16:39] but ubuntu is a little bit slower on the pc as debian [16:39] is that bad? [16:39] a faster p3 should be able to easily saturate gigabit with pretty much any os [16:39] ok [16:40] thank you if i have new questions i will ask you again [16:40] thank you [16:40] if you are ram constrained, only launch X when you need it [16:40] perhaps i'll come back [16:40] yes i will do [16:40] su [16:40] X [16:40] right? [16:40] or i say just sudo x [16:41] ok see u later thx === mk is now known as Guest76018 [16:59] hi, any ideas why qcad (which seems to use qt) does not show my default printer (shows other which i dont use, all other apps i've tried show all printers, but i dont use qt much) how could i go about debuging that?

[17:03] couple of days ago [17:04] untar the ball? [17:06] Dr_willis: google says i'm not the only one apparently [17:07] but the probs is the kernel [17:07] 2.6.27 [17:07] which is not supported by the vmware [17:07] it says [17:07] Execution aborted [17:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/102829/ [17:09] http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/not_really_into_pokemon.png [17:09] plz read it n tell me how can i run the VmWare 1.0.6 on the new kernel 2.6.27.8 [17:09] Dr_willis: fixed by linking /var/.../printcap to /etc/printcap [17:10] is there any physics computer simulation software for linux?? I would like to simulate some simple physics with rolling balls, and such simple stuff.. [17:10] can anyone solve the question for me?

[17:18] yes [17:19] if you look to the osx benchmark on the same machine, then you see cleary better performance, so i am wondering, can it be that there is a bug in xorg preventing that intel gma performance good [17:20] or is it kwin ? [17:20] dunno [17:20] is it slow with desktop effects off? [17:21] the same performance in glx gears, but, ofcourse no repainting when desktop effects is switched off [17:22] my dvd drive now on linux doesnt seem to work [17:22] it reads as cd rom / blu ray re drive [17:23] wesley: I'd change the title to something about the drivers being slow, and changing the package affected to xserver-xorg-video-intel [17:23] what i see is that kwin needs to repaint the windows, so you see a sec or maby its a fraction of a sec a white screen, and then you see the sreeen [17:23] bugs filed against plain "ubuntu" usually slip into the void of unlooked-at bugs [17:24] oh okay, i usally tag with [ ] [17:24] kde4 is slowly gettting improved on in the speed area. :) testing out 4.2 now - and its definatly faster in that area [17:24] HALLLOOO [17:25] but for example 4.000 is 4 fps ?

Let me investigate this model to see if there is some known issue. [18:15] ti really dosent matter if it 'shows up' as somthing else. :) Unless you dont like the different icons or whatever...

Tried to mount the thing manually and access the files?

[18:20] Dolo: I'm seeing references to this issue of not being able to read dvds (in Windows).

[18:30] so sluggish on all my machines. and constantly crashing.. at least now ive gone an hr+ on 4.2 and no crashes so far [18:30] I have broken my vista master record while installing kubuntu to an external drive [18:30] sourcemaker no next release is kde 4.2 rv [18:30] 4.2 still seems more sluggish then it should be.. But thats proberly in part to the nvidia/kde4 drivers [18:30] what can I do to fix it?

[18:35] how can I recover the master boot record? [18:35] Hello I am experiencing issues with installing Kubuntu from a live iso partition. Atm I am running from the partition and I can mount the other partitions but "Install" cannot recognise the harddisk at all. It just returns blank info with no partitions or harddisks. How can I fix this? [18:36] Dr_willis, acer one is ofcourse less powerfull then a atom 330 [18:36] but i doesnt ubuntu run on it then ? [18:36] Ubuntu runs on it. :) been testing out all sorts of live disrtos [18:36] Dr_willis: exactly [18:36] I'm desperate [18:36] is not my own computer [18:37] Geexbox, Puppy, SliTaz, TinyCore [18:37] ubuntu_, if you want windows to boot normally. Use your windows cd's and the proper commands to fix the mbr/boot records. [18:39] Dr_willis: I have tried everything on the windows side, but with no luck [18:39] Dr_willis: How can I do it on linux? at least be able to boot grub without the external drive [18:39] Then you dident do it right.. Ive restored the windows boot loader a dozen times from varioyus windows cd's [18:39] Dr_willis, ive installed on my nettop windows 7, so those atoms are fairly strong [18:39] To boot grub - you would need the grub files somewhere on the normal hard drive [18:40] ie; a /boot/ partition on the hard drive somewhere. [18:40] OR you dont install grub to the hd's mbr. but to the usb drives MBR and tellthe bios to boot that.. that way you leave windows alone [18:40] but the live-cd-installer can not do that. I think only the alternative installer cd can do that [18:43] i updated kde4.2 [18:43] and the icon of kvirc became a question mark [18:43] how can i change it ? [18:43] Good evening.

[19:54] or at least, it'll notify me automatically that updates are available? [19:54] yes [19:56] I think kubuntu hates my laptop... DVD drive, audio adapter and graphics adapter are all really buggy [19:56] but since it seems fine with my CPU and network adapter, I guess that's all I need. [19:57] stnormal bad luck [19:57] hardware support is improving with tha pass of time [19:57] yeah, I suppose I'll just have to hope support gets better in the future [19:57] that's what I figure === `Miam`No`Pvs` is now known as KaSsToi [19:58] now only buy hardware compatible with Linux [19:58] I need linux for work, but it'd be nice not to have to boot into windows on this laptop [19:58] stnormal what is your laptop model [19:58] HP DV4-1114nr [20:01] stnormal any download nfor Linux in its web page [20:02] derp, i didn't even think of that [20:02] i feel ridiculous now [20:02] because I've been going the download site to check what components are actually in the lappy [20:02] doesn't look like they support linux [20:03] write HP support, and request support for Linux, it helps for manufacturers think in Linux === homer is now known as Guest50829 [20:03] stnormal if your hardware is not working propertly, report it to Launchpad [20:05] should I "report a bug"? [20:05] can anyone help installing my webcam under ubuntu 8.10? [20:05] hi there, if install the kubuntu-desktop metapackage on my clean ubuntu install, will all the kde apps appear in the gnome menus and vice versa, i'm wanting to avoid that as not to confuse the other users of the computer [20:05] or is there a better place to report it? [20:05] stnormal: a bug with kubuntu or kde? [20:05] ingerashu yes, report a different bug for each device hardware that is not working propertly [20:05] if it a purely KDE bug, the you could report it to bugs.kde.org [20:06] jacob: EagleScreen recommended that I report that my hardware isn't working properly to launchpad [20:06] stnormal: yes, it would be best to report that kind of bug to launchpad [20:07] if I have Kubuntu installed, is it possible to re-install kubuntu from scratch from within kubuntu? [20:07] stnormal: it is likely that someone will see it and tell you the workaround/fix [20:08] stnormal also if you were more specific with your problems, may be you could obtain a better help, but report it anyway [20:08] stnormal: have you started a thread requesting support on ubuntuforums.org or kubuntuforums.net? [20:08] maybe I'll start there. [20:08] stnormal: it is probably possible, but it would be far far easier either to clean reinstall or try another route to fix your problem [20:09] I have a suspicion that something buggy happened with the install. Booting from the LiveCD had a ton of errors during the boot sequence, and maybe 3/4 of the times I loaded Kubuntu from the CD there was some sort of crash [20:09] and I could have sworn that one time that I booted from the liveCD, my audio actually worked fine [20:09] stnormal: could be a badly burnt cd, if you burnt it too fast then errors can be written on the desk [20:09] *disc [20:09] hmm [20:09] or corrupt iso [20:10] md5 the iso [20:10] stnormal: thats entirely possible actually [20:10] i ran out of CDRs, I can use a DVD-r instead, can't I?

[20:44] So I changed the owner of everything in my home folder to me, and now it seems that certain programs can't access their files. Is there any effective way to fix this? [20:45] stnormal, No [20:45] stnormal- i'm pretty sure a wipe is not needed [20:45] eh, nevermind, it doesn't look like the bad cd screwed anything up [20:46] I didn't get any of the read errors with the DVD, but nothing worked any different in the OS. [20:46] it did seem to boot almost as fast as the actual installation, which seems a bit weird [20:47] aeonoris, IWhat programs? [20:49] Does ubuntu have 'acroread' ? [20:49] !acroread [20:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about acroread [20:49] My guess is no [20:50] Turns out it's actually the Adobe version that runs on linux - how to tell the bot? [20:50] edoceo: and my guess was wrong [20:50] Uh, yakuake and others, it's their configuration files [20:50] edoceo: sudo apt-get acroread will install it [20:51] I tried that but my system would not: E: Package acroread has no installation candidate [20:51] aeonoris, You should be able to delete them (after backing up) then restart the program. They will make another config file with the correct permissions [20:52] Hi kubuntu 8.10 with kde 4.2 looks great, thanks!. But I have one question: Is there a recommended way to install firfox on kubuntu 8.10? [20:53] edoceo: Looks like its not part of the official repo but in the mediabuntu one http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/ [20:54] ole_: sudo apt-get install firefox --no-install-recommends [20:54] eelriver, but I would have to set anything I configured again, right? [20:55] JontheEchidna: I think its firefox-3.0, try typing firefox then [20:55] powertool08: doesn't matter which one really, firefox depends on firefox-3.0 [20:55] ole_: you'll also probably want this theme: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7574 [20:55] aeonoris, Yes, or look at the permissions of the new file, set the correct permissions on the backup and replace new .congi file with the back up [20:56] aeonoris: thanks that really helped the dependencies, is there a recommended theme as well? [20:56] JontheEchidna: Oh sorry, I misread your comment [20:56] aeonoris, Does that make sense? [20:57] ole_, wrong person. try JontheEchidna [20:57] eelriver, yeah, thanks. [20:57] JontheEchidna: Thanks! [21:00] Hello all. [21:01] hey powertool [21:02] I'm using Firefox 3.0.5. I don't know what is happening, but it keeps on sending/receiving https requests to Google. I don't have to even be at a Google site. I go to MySpace and it is still happening. It happens only in Firefox. Am I missing something. [21:21] hola [21:21] what could be causing my screen to go to "saver" mode and locked, when I have the screen saver set to like 2 hours. (it seems to go to saver mode about 15 minutes in) [21:23] kkathman: could it be triggered by your hardware? monitor maybe? [21:24] mefisto_: hmm well I am somewhat of a loss then, why it doesnt go to saver mode under Gnome on the same box? [21:24] kkathman: have you set you screen power management settings correctly? [21:25] jussi01: they are in the default mode, i.e. power management is disabled [21:25] kkathman: system settings, display, power control [21:25] try explicitly disabling it [21:25] jussi01: ok thanks I'll try that [21:26] kkathman: and do let me know if it works [21:27] jussi01: seems the highest you can set the power mgmt is 2 hours :( [21:28] but we'll see [21:28] kkathman: you cant set lower to disabled? [21:28] I can on the standby, but apparently not on the other two? [21:28] hi! does anybody try to import some address files to the addressbook in kontact? there is a small problem with the kategories :( [21:28] weird. maybe check the general power management settings also [21:29] jussi01: well, now it seems to work :) [21:29] general power mgmt ? [21:29] kkathman: anyway, Im off to bed, leave me a message on how it goes [21:29] kkathman and jussi01, neat [21:29] I can't choose a kategorie for the values which are outside my windows :( [21:30] kkathman: system settings advanced power management [21:31] kkathman: yeah, there are screen setting in that also [21:31] jussi01: looks like this is the culprit [21:32] does kde4 properly suspend yet?

[22:24] mooglinux: yes [22:25] ok i have a number of output devices here. pulseaudio, esound, and three nvidia ones [22:25] hi there, how do i uninstall all the dependencies of the kubuntu-desktop package? [22:25] i don't think i can manage kde and gnome on the same system that computer illerates have to use also :s [22:26] so they pick what desktop to use at login.. whats so hard about that? [22:26] jacobw-uk: so what GUI is for computer illiterates? [22:26] !puregnome | jacobw-uk [22:26] jacobw-uk: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [22:27] KomiaPoika: well I've taught them to use GNOME and I don't want to confuse them *cough* irritate them *cough* [22:27] Theres too many handy kde apps to limit yourself to just gnome [22:28] set them up to use gnome by default and let them go at it.. [22:28] yeah for me there is. but for very basic users who already know how to use gnome thats not a significent factor to warrant time and effort into changing it [22:28] !netbook [22:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about netbook [22:28] unfortunately kde and gnome menus have a habit of colliding. [22:29] and also i want to start using the jaunty alphas on a seperate partition ;) [22:29] under gnome you can edit the menus easily enough [22:29] You can never dumb things down enough, eventually the users have to put forth some effort and learn the tools they have. [22:29] help, all my entry fields in windows are half size,how can i get them back to normal? [22:29] Dr_willis: yeah they can in the future if they want of their own accord [22:29] using k3b i notice i'm missing some of the external programs k3b uses to work properly. eMovix is the only package or packages that would contain eMovix.. [22:30] ive never had emovix actually work. :) [22:30] Not tried it in ages however [22:30] !puregnome [22:30] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [22:30] Dr_willis; what is it for? [22:30] bastid_raZor, it lets you make a bootable dvd I think that has an embeded movie player. [22:31] at least i think thats what it did at one time [22:31] how do you do italicized text in konversation?' [22:31] Dr_willis; okay. i won't be needing something like that. thanks. [22:32] the one thing that really annoys me about gnome is the lack of a good clipboard system [22:32] never noticed. :) [22:32] so annoying to close an app and its data disappear of the clipboard [22:32] i tend to install glipper/klipper [22:33] thats a spcific gnome bug from what i hear. [22:35] Dr_willis: hmm if it is a bug its very long running one [22:37] i reordered the sound devices and put one that does work at the top, but amarok still isnt giving me sound [22:37] i tried closing and reopening amarok but that didnt do it. what gives? [22:39] Dr_willis; considering i have all the rest it asks for, what else might i need to be able to burn mp3's to a cd? it claims it needs them to be in wave format. [22:40] Dr_willis; i seem to remember in the past that i was able to just drag them down and it would convert them on the fly.. i may be mistake but i thought it was possible [22:40] is there a way to have my laptop speakers cut off when I plug in my headphones? It works automatially in Vista but I can't seem to get it to work in Ubuntu [22:43] For k3b? Theres some addon you must install.. It used to be listed in the kubuntu faq page I recall. [22:43] Kubuntu-restricted-extras package may include the package [22:44] thanks [22:45] i run gnome and have ubuntu-restricted-extras .. would that be the same? i just have a few KDE apps i use since gnome lacks in a few places. [22:45] ive got no sound in amarok, but i changed the order of sound devices to put working ones on top. i have sound in pidgin [22:47] ubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu-restricted-extras have some overlap in what they install.. but each installs some stuff the other does not [22:47] I always install both - Since i use gnome and kde. [22:47] okay, will do. [22:48] the kubuntu-restricted-extras is the key. it now works fine. thanks Dr_willis [22:48] I got a little script of like 10-20 things i always install on a clean install :) [22:48] ubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu-restricted-extras are like #1 [22:48] brb [22:52] im on the latest build of 4.2 and i logged in and got a message that my sound device didnt work. i switched to a different one in the settings but amarok is still not playing any sounds. pidgin, however, has worked the entire time (alert sounds) [22:53] I'm using Firefox 3.0.5. I don't know what is happening, but it keeps on sending/receiving https requests to Google. I don't have to even be at a Google site. I go to MySpace and it is still happening. It happens only in Firefox. Am I missing something? [22:55] ad images comming from google servers? [22:56] or google specific extensions [22:56] how are you even detecting that its doing this? [22:57] if i already have a system loaded on a HD, and i want to add a 2nd hard drive and setup linux raid, is that possible? or will i need to reload server? [22:57] Depends on the raid setup i imagine [22:57] !raid [22:57] raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [22:57] it will just be a RAID1 [22:58] but like i know it will change from like /dev/sda to /dev/md0 or whatever [23:00] Dr_willis: I don't even go to Google and it happens. [23:00] I used WireShark to check the connection. [23:00] google servers also serve up a lot of ad images.. and some sites work with google to get ad/other stuff also. [23:01] so a image from bubba.com may be comming from google somewhere [23:01] how do i add my audigy's listed in sound control but not in the terminal [23:02] it's listed === Daisuke-Ido is now known as Daisuke_Ido [23:15] i searching for fs like unionfs, but with writing feature (only whole file on partiton with most free of space (free space detecting automaticaly while writing file(s) ) ).

[23:34] join #ubuntu [23:34] is there a way to remote desktop into kubuntu [23:35] bthompson: krdc === robb_ is now known as robbmunson [23:36] maxbaldwin: what about having the ability to remote desktop into kubuntu [23:37] that's the program to do it in. [23:37] or just ssh in. :\ [23:38] so there is nothing you have to setup..like in windows you have to check the box for allow remote desktop ability [23:40] i want to be able to remote into the machine im on..
