| downhill_ | weellll, ahmos you could try restarting HAL then. /etc/init.d/hal restart | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| downhill_ | thanks dr_willis :) | 00:00 |
| downhill_ | could *swear* it was the fstab option. good to know. | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 00:02 |
| ahmos | hold on going to try | 00:03 |
| downhill_ | whoops | 00:04 |
| downhill_ | that definitely was not firefox. heh | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | the 'user' option in that fstab entry allows the user to mount/unmount the device | 00:05 |
| downhill_ | yep | 00:05 |
| * dr_willis recalls when 'auto mounting ' of devices - was a tool on the desktop that gave you buttons to mount/unmount things.. | 00:05 | |
| dr_willis | :) | 00:05 |
| downhill_ | yep yep, back in the day. | 00:05 |
| downhill_ | I remember setting mode lines >.< | 00:06 |
| ahmos | every thing is perfect | 00:06 |
| downhill_ | that did it, eh? | 00:06 |
| ahmos | yes | 00:07 |
| downhill_ | excellent. now you know what to say if someone asks the same question ;) | 00:07 |
| downhill_ | come to think of it, dr_willis, I remember restarting HAL for a wine-related problem a while back. | 00:07 |
| downhill_ | thanks again. | 00:07 |
| ahmos | of course ;) but first thank you very much | 00:07 |
| downhill_ | not a problem. | 00:08 |
| dr_willis | wine can have issues with installing multi-disk games. | 00:08 |
| downhill_ | Wine can have issues. period. | 00:08 |

| mtanner | hello. I have a question about keyboard shortcuts in kubuntu/kde4 8.10... | 00:22 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: What it? | 00:22 |
| mtanner | anybody know in which disk file the keyboard shortcuts are kept? | 00:22 |
| mtanner | Because the System Settings -> Keyboard/Mouse app GUI doesn't seem to be working properly | 00:23 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: Lots of KDE 4.1 keyboard shortcuts don't work | 00:23 |
| mtanner | There are 3 different places in kde4 to set up keyboard shortcuts: System Settings -> KB/Mouse, Sys Settings -> Advanced -> input actions, and the kde menu editor | 00:24 |
| mtanner | They all seem to be conflicting with each other. And when I tried to set up the shortcut in "Input Actions", it added about 8 new entries under "KB/Mouse"->"Keyboard Shortcuts". | 00:25 |
| mtanner | The specific keyboard shortcut I'm trying to set up is the one to start Konsole. | 00:26 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: Keyboard shortcuts didn't work for me at all | 00:26 |
| mtanner | Nomexous: hmmm. I see. Any known solutions? | 00:26 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: You could try upgrading to KDE 4.2 beta | 00:27 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 | 00:27 |
| mtanner | Nomexous: Is 4.2 beta known to work with the shortcuts? | 00:28 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: It worked for me. I was able to bind Konsole to Alt+F1. | 00:28 |
| === john is now known as johnrush | ||
| Nomexous | mtanner: That was through the menu editor | 00:29 |
| mtanner | Nomexous: cool. Thanks for the info. I might try that in a while. | 00:29 |
| Nomexous | mtanner: No problem. Read the notes, though. 4.2 is still beta, so it might break some stuff. | 00:30 |
| mtanner | I was just trying to see if anyone happened to know the file the shortcuts are stored in, so I could try to remove all of the dud entries that "Input Actions" added to the "Keyboard Shortcuts" menu | 00:30 |
| booleancat | Anyone else having trouble with kio network slaves? | 00:35 |
| mtanner | Nomexous: thanks for the suggestion. I gotta go eat dinner, and I'll contemplate the update to 4.2 beta later this evening | 00:35 |

| uninstalll | .Trash? | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | !trash | 00:51 |
| ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 00:51 |

| ubottu | 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 » | 00:52 |
| holycow | uh | 00:52 |
| holycow | dr_willis: is this an attempt to clean up ~/? | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | Yes | 00:53 |
| holycow | it seems to be everything has a . folder ... is this a new freedesktop.org idea? | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | now everyting is slowly moving to .local/folder | 00:53 |
| uninstalll | no I wanna install KDE again | 00:53 |
| holycow | dr_willis: oh neat i didnt' know that | 00:54 |

| uninstalll | lmao | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | one way to find out | 00:57 |
| holycow | dr_willis: would you happen to know of any site i can read up on this? freedesktop.org and google don't seem to indicate much ... or just have a hard time search for a . file entry. how is this design aspect being handled? | 00:57 |
| uninstalll | it did'n do shit | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | holycow, not sure if its a freedesktop.org idea but i think it is. | 00:57 |

| ghostcube | is the nvidia-glx-xxx package removing libGl.so from /usr/lib ? | 01:24 |
| ghostcube | i have libgl1-mesa-dev installed and iam missing it | 01:24 |
| stnormal | is there a way to determine if I have 32bit GNU C compiler tools installed on my 64-bit Kubuntu install? | 01:25 |
| flakeparadigm | Hello | 01:30 |
| === DarkSmoke is now known as DS-Sleepin | ||
| darkdelusions | ghostcube: i have libGL.so.180.11 | 01:31 |
| darkdelusions | ghostcube: i have libGL.so.1 | 01:31 |
| ghostcube | yeah but libGl.so is missing isnt it | 01:32 |
| ghostcube | i need it to build compiz and libgl1-mesa-dev should ship it | 01:32 |
| ghostcube | and this one is installed | 01:32 |
| ghostcube | so iam just wondering if the nvidia-180-dev package is needed | 01:32 |
| ghostcube | or if i have to reinstall libgl1-mesa-dev | 01:32 |
| flakeparadigm | my cd drive isn't working except for the first few minutes into using kubuntu | 01:33 |
| flakeparadigm | but they work just fine on the live CD | 01:34 |
| flakeparadigm | er, I have two cd drives. neither of them work for more that a few minutes after I boot up | 01:35 |
| flakeparadigm | but when I'm booted up into windows or on a live CD, everything works just fine | 01:35 |
| slarti | how do you make the taskbar autohide ? | 01:36 |
| flakeparadigm | <slarti>I'm not sure if you can in kde 4's current release | 01:39 |
| slarti | i did it in jaunty : ) | 01:39 |
| flakeparadigm | it is probably using kde 4.2 beta | 01:40 |
| flakeparadigm | or what ever stage 4.2 is at | 01:41 |
| slarti | i want autohide in ibex ! | 01:41 |
| ghostcube | get the beta release for ibex | 01:42 |
| ghostcube | :) | 01:42 |
| ghostcube | or wait till rc1 in two days | 01:42 |
| flakeparadigm | I would wait till rc1 ;) | 01:44 |
| lespea | does anybody know if/when they're planning on making their windows effects (rotate cube / etc) mappable to mouse buttons? | 01:44 |
| lespea | they == kde | 01:44 |

| DaSkreech | rickey: Upgrading to what? | 01:46 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: Huh? | 01:46 |
| Adola | I'm having a problem with Kopete. I've asked in #kopete..But as always, It's dead. | 01:47 |
| draik | I'm trying to remove a few infected files from an XP laptop. I tried using Knoppix, but that did not work. Will using Kubuntu 8.10 let me mount the drive and remove the necessary files? | 01:47 |
| Adola | It will connect on Highspeed. but not on Dial-up | 01:47 |
| ghostcube | draik, there is something called knoppicillin | 01:47 |

| rickey | to 810 | 01:49 |
| ghostcube | i always update my distries but my hd crashed :D | 01:49 |
| ghostcube | i have done updates to 8.10 a bit tricky | 01:49 |
| Adola | Um. Hello? | 01:50 |
| DaSkreech | hi | 01:51 |
| Adola | Did you guys get what I pasted? | 01:51 |
| DaSkreech | draik: Should | 01:51 |
| ghostcube | draik, ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/projekte/knoppicillin/k6d_6.0.2.iso | 01:51 |
| draik | DaSkreech: I should ...? | 01:52 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Yes please don't paste in the chan | 01:52 |
| draik | ghostcube: Is that English? | 01:52 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: in compiz you can use ctr+alt+mouse1 to rotate the cube; it doesn't appear that you can do this in kde4 | 01:52 |
| Adola | Yes, I'm sorry. | 01:52 |
| ghostcube | afaik yes and its only text based | 01:52 |
| DaSkreech | draik: Kubuntu should allow you to remove infected files | 01:52 |
| draik | DaSkreech: Ok, thanks. Just wanted to make sure before I try that as an option. | 01:53 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: ah Umm hit ctrl+F11 and you get the same effect I think | 01:53 |
| draik | ghostcube: No issue with text-only as I can navigate fairly easily to the file I need on the drive. | 01:53 |
| DaSkreech | Why do I have cube even enabled? | 01:53 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: right, I know you can do it with the keyboard, but I want to do it with the mouse (along with a whole bunch of other effects) | 01:53 |
| Adola | Yes, so, anyone think they could help me with this problem with Kopete not connecting on Dial-up, but it will connect on Highspeed... (Same thing for Pidgin) | 01:54 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: well ctrl+alt is the keyboard as well | 01:54 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Everything else connecys fine? | 01:55 |
| Adola | DaSkreech: Um, well, IRC. And, I used a program called "kmess" it connected me. It's just Pidgin and Kopete | 01:56 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: that was just an example I used... I just want to know if anybody knows when mapping to the mouse will be possible | 01:56 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: What do you want? | 01:56 |
| Adola | They connect on highspeed. But, now that I'm back on Dial-up. They won't connect | 01:56 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: to map things to the mouse | 01:56 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: There is hot corners as well | 01:56 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: I don't care about the alternatives, if you don't know that's fine just say so | 01:57 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Hmm dunno has #pidgin died as well? | 01:57 |
| rickey | gees | 01:57 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: I'm not sure what you are asking for:) I'm not big on desktop effects so you want to do all the effects without touching the keyboard? | 01:57 |
| Adola | I've not asked. However, I doubt it iwll do much good. I refuse to use Pidgin. It's far more buggy (in my case.) Than Kopete | 01:58 |
| Adola | However, I'll ask. | 01:58 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: just to be able to include the mouse buttons in the bindings | 01:58 |
| DaSkreech | Adola: Perhaps figuring out one will help the other? | 01:58 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: Asked in #kwin ? | 01:58 |
| lespea | DaSkreech: thanks :) | 01:58 |

| Adola | alipio: Kopete in KDE 4.2 has MSN support | 02:10 |
| Adola | It's called WML | 02:10 |
| Adola | Just use that. | 02:10 |
| Adola | Use the WML protocol | 02:10 |
| alipio | Adola: I know about WML.. but it always show me "Wrong Password" message... | 02:10 |
| Adola | alipio: Oh. | 02:11 |
| Adola | Darn, I don't know then. | 02:11 |
| DaSkreech | alipio: I think they had an update for libmsn check if you have that | 02:11 |

| draik | ghostcube: Nope. It started in English, then goes German. | 02:15 |

| DaSkreech | Hmm not quite what I was looking for | 02:16 |
| DaSkreech | lespea: When is it? | 02:16 |
| lespea | March 26th | 02:17 |
| lespea | a new alpha release is coming out on thursday | 02:17 |
| alipio | Does anybody here use MSN with kopete of kde 4.2 ??? | 02:18 |
| lespea | I've had bad luck with alpha though so i tend to shy away from that (which makes sense -- it is alpha!) | 02:18 |
| pteague | anybody familiar with using : in autocomplete scripts? such as with svn propset svn:ignore - *buntu's autocomplete scripts somehow does that, but i can't figure out how | 02:20 |
| DaSkreech | I don't | 02:20 |
| maryellen | Hey Gang. Running 6.06.2 here and I don't find keytouch in the repositories. Am I missing something? or blind? :-) | 02:21 |
| Adola | Hello. I need to install MSN-Pecan. | 02:22 |
| Adola | However, SMP doesn't show it. | 02:22 |
| KomiaPoika | hi | 02:22 |
| Adola | Actually, when I type in "Kopete" SMP wno't show ANYTHINg. | 02:22 |
| maryellen | The reason for asking is that my son bought me a nice 'multi-media' kbd and I read in the forum that keytouch is the simpliest way to get it setup. | 02:23 |
| Adola | I had to use Add/Remove to get programs. But, it won't show up all the nice extras like msnpecan | 02:23 |
| maryellen | Adola, you're not capitalizing it, are you? | 02:23 |
| Adola | No, it won't show ANYTHING | 02:23 |
| maryellen | ah | 02:24 |
| Adola | I'll show you | 02:24 |
| ghostcube | could it be that the symlink for /usr/lib/libGl.so is not set if installing nvidia-glx-1xx packages | 02:24 |
| ghostcube | on 64 bit | 02:24 |
| Adola | I typed in "hydrogen" | 02:25 |
| Adola | (I've got it installed) | 02:25 |

| KomiaPoika | DaSkreech: i'm in the configuring grub box | 02:50 |
| KomiaPoika | DaSkreech: it asks should i install the grub boot loader to the mbr? | 02:50 |
| DaSkreech | Is your mbr on the IDE? | 02:51 |
| szrhawaii | does anyone know of a plugin or a file i need to download in order to have k3b or brasero burn iso's to cd-r my computer used to write to them now all of a sudden i loaded this version and it doesnt anymore | 02:51 |
| KomiaPoika | DaSkreech: i dunno, but it says the install detected windows xp (which is on the ide hard drive, where i want the grub, cause it's the only hard drive my pc sees at boot) | 02:51 |
| szrhawaii | Hey DaSkreech how you doing tonight | 02:52 |
| DaSkreech | not bad | 02:53 |
| DaSkreech | KomiaPoika: That would be right then | 02:53 |
| KomiaPoika | kthx | 02:53 |
| szrhawaii | DaSkreech hey when i had gnome my comp burned cd-r iso files now that i have kde it doesnt burn iso's to cd-r only to dvd- can you help me in this issue is there a plugin or file i need to download in order to make brasero or k3b burn a iso file in a cd-r | 02:55 |
| DaSkreech | Wot? | 02:55 |
| DaSkreech | k3b can burn CD | 02:55 |
| DaSkreech | I think it has DVD as the default | 02:55 |
| DaSkreech | but yeah it can do CD | 02:55 |
| KomiaPoika | yes it can | 02:56 |
| szrhawaii | how do i configure it cause its forcing me to do the dvd only and wont let me choose | 02:56 |
| szrhawaii | when i upload the iso file it only gives me the dvd option | 02:56 |
| DaSkreech | Is it a DVD Iso? | 02:56 |
| szrhawaii | its only 699mb | 02:57 |
| KomiaPoika | DaSkreech: it didnt install on the ide hard drive | 02:57 |
| szrhawaii | it should be enough for a cd iso | 02:57 |
| KomiaPoika | DaSkreech: freebsd bootloader is still there, and can't load the linux os | 02:57 |
| szrhawaii | i would think that would be one | 02:57 |
| mason | Could anybody help me to install this plasmoid?: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/yasp+Yet+Another+SystemMonitor+Plasmoid+?content=94144 | 02:59 |
| szrhawaii | mason if you can figure it out let me know cause i was trying to load that one as well a few days ago | 03:00 |
| mason | :P | 03:00 |
| mason | The thing is, I'm a total newbie to Linux in general, and all of this is killing me xD | 03:00 |
| mason | In all honesty, I really just want to be able to get ANY plasmoid | 03:01 |

| DaSkreech | szrhawaii: Tried using wodim? | 03:16 |
| szrhawaii | not yet | 03:16 |
| szrhawaii | not sure how to use wodim | 03:16 |
| DaSkreech | mason: you'd have to install cmake | 03:16 |
| DaSkreech | wodim /path/to/iso | 03:17 |
| DaSkreech | pretty simple | 03:17 |
| szrhawaii | trying right now | 03:18 |
| mason | Okay... | 03:19 |
| mason | DaSkreech: I now have cmake | 03:19 |
| mason | I think | 03:19 |
| DaSkreech | :-) | 03:21 |
| DaSkreech | type cmake and see if it's a command | 03:21 |
| mason | Yep | 03:22 |
| mason | It's a command | 03:22 |
| mason | Lots of 'em too :P | 03:22 |
| mason | So, I have 94144-yasp-0.5.tar.bz2 on my desktop. I have no idea as to what I should do now xD | 03:23 |
| DaSkreech | groovy | 03:23 |
| DaSkreech | mason: untar it | 03:23 |
| mason | Then do I hit install? | 03:23 |
| DaSkreech | ;-) | 03:23 |
| szrhawaii_ | DaSkreech wodim didnt work | 03:23 |
| DaSkreech | We shall see | 03:23 |
| DaSkreech | szrhawaii_: Same error? | 03:24 |
| mason | DaSkreech: It gave me instructions, but I don't know how to read it =/ | 03:24 |

| DaSkreech | szrhawaii_: hmm sounds like a burner issue | 03:25 |
| DaSkreech | Or more specifically a burner communication issue | 03:25 |
| DaSkreech | #wodim ? | 03:25 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Paste to the URL above | 03:25 |
| szrhawaii_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103741/ this is what i got from terminal DaSkreech | 03:25 |
| mason | http://paste.ubuntu.com/103742/ | 03:26 |
| szrhawaii_ | im the only one in that chat line #wodim | 03:26 |
| DaSkreech | mason: thats from the INSTALL file ? | 03:27 |
| mason | Yessir | 03:27 |
| DaSkreech | Ok you untarred it and went into the directory ? | 03:28 |
| mason | ooh | 03:29 |
| mason | Does untarring mean extracting? | 03:29 |
| mason | If so, then I haven't untarred it yet xD Sorry for failing :X | 03:29 |
| mason | But if not... | 03:29 |
| mason | then I'm pretty sure I'm in the directory... | 03:29 |
| mason | Well, I extracted it in I'm in the folder I extracted to. | 03:30 |
| DaSkreech | great | 03:32 |
| DaSkreech | in terminal? | 03:32 |
| mason | No | 03:32 |
| DaSkreech | press F4 | 03:32 |
| mason | I can't truly say I know how to navigate there with the terminal =/ | 03:32 |
| mason | Okay | 03:33 |
| DaSkreech | so now yu are there in the terminal :-D | 03:33 |
| mason | f4 while in the terminal? | 03:33 |
| DaSkreech | wasn't that hard? | 03:33 |
| mason | oh | 03:33 |
| DaSkreech | Oh no while in Dolphin or konqueror | 03:33 |
| DaSkreech | It pulls up a terminal in the directory you are in | 03:33 |
| mason | Yeah, got it. | 03:33 |
| DaSkreech | pretty sweet | 03:33 |
| mason | That's very handy. | 03:33 |
| mason | So, yeah. I'm in the terminal. | 03:34 |
| TouchDown | how i set my mozilla firefox as default browser ? | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | you can copy the commands from the file there | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | mkdir build | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | cdbuild | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | etc | 03:34 |
| mason | Ohh | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | !default | 03:34 |
| ubottu | To change the default application for a filetype, go to Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" (KDE 3), or System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations (KDE 4). To change your default file manager, change the "inode/directory" and "inode/system_directory" filetypes. | 03:34 |
| mason | That's awesome. | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | Wait | 03:34 |
| DaSkreech | anyway TouchDown in system settings you can set default web browser | 03:34 |
| mason | mkdir: cannot create directory `build': File exists | 03:35 |
| mason | "" | 03:35 |
| DaSkreech | cd build | 03:35 |
| mason | oh | 03:36 |
| mason | Do you still have the pastebin page I pasted open? | 03:37 |
| mason | Because I don't know what to do at this part | 03:37 |
| mason | cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DKDE-4.1=true ../ | 03:38 |
| mason | So I just paste it all? | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DKDE-4.1=true ../ | 03:38 |
| DaSkreech | Yes | 03:38 |
| mason | Oh | 03:39 |
| mason | I did it before | 03:39 |
| mason | I must've copied it wrong | 03:39 |
| mason | after the input "sudo make install" | 03:39 |
| mason | I get: sudo make install | 03:40 |
| roconnor | I was trying to start a second xsession (in 8-bit mode) and I did "sudo startx -- :1" ... that was really bad. | 03:40 |

| mason | woops | 03:40 |
| mason | I get: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 03:40 |
| roconnor | because it couldn't find .DCOPserver_faris__0 | 03:40 |
| DaSkreech | try make then sudo make install | 03:41 |
| mason | So just make alone | 03:41 |
| mason | then sudo make install | 03:41 |
| mason | ? | 03:41 |
| DaSkreech | Yes | 03:42 |
| mason | output: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 03:42 |

| mason | in the same terminal? | 03:44 |
| mason | same location and everything? | 03:44 |
| SilverRook | can someone help a noob with a kubuntu install to flashdrive ? | 03:45 |
| DaSkreech | that wouldn't make a difference but sure | 03:45 |
| mason | bash: reinstall: command not found | 03:45 |
| DaSkreech | sudo apt-get install kdelibs5 --reinstall | 03:46 |
| mason | reinstalled | 03:48 |
| SilverRook | can i install pure kde to a flashdrive ? without it being a live cd usb-creator thingy ? | 03:48 |
| DaSkreech | mason: what version is this btw ? | 03:49 |
| mason | Hmm | 03:49 |
| mason | Sorry, but, version of what? | 03:49 |
| DaSkreech | the plasmoid | 03:50 |
| DaSkreech | This guy really decided to make it really hard to install | 03:50 |
| SilverRook | anyone | 03:50 |
| SilverRook | ? | 03:50 |
| mason | daskreech: 0.5 | 03:51 |
| DaSkreech | SilverRook: I think so | 03:51 |
| DaSkreech | I don't know why you wouldn't be able to | 03:51 |
| SilverRook | well i am installing now i have had to rip out my HDD's so the install doesnt detect them so i can use GUIDED when installing | 03:52 |
| mason | DaSkreech: I'm thinking of just trying to install a different system monitor | 03:52 |
| SilverRook | can i then just plug this in to any machine and boot up this ? or will the boot loader screw up ? | 03:52 |
| Makuseru | Hi, I seem to be having a problem with a program. It's too long horizontally to fit on my screen, but when i grab the edge to resize it it only lets me make it even longer, i can't make it any shorter. Anyone know what would cause this, and how i could fix it? | 03:52 |
| DaSkreech | I can't speak for any machine | 03:52 |
| szrhawaii_ | is it mount dev/cd0 to mount my cd drive | 03:53 |
| SilverRook | but asa generalisation | 03:53 |
| mason | I tried a few other ones earlier today, but the were .skz files and I honestly don't know what to do with those. | 03:53 |
| DaSkreech | those are different | 03:53 |
| SilverRook | the trouble i had with teh usb-creator was that when i stored files on it from windows ( :S i know ) i got boot errors when trying to boot off the stick | 03:54 |
| SilverRook | i kinda need it to be a multi purpose flash drive | 03:54 |
| SilverRook | linux in one half and a fat 32 partition on the other half | 03:54 |
| DaSkreech | SilverRook: partition it | 03:54 |
| SilverRook | its 16gb sandisk cruzer so i no worried bout space lol | 03:54 |
| SilverRook | daskreech thats why i used guided on this install and its cut it in half | 03:55 |
| SilverRook | does that mean my linux system will be in the dev/sda1 50% section and my other section is still my fat 32 partition ? | 03:55 |
| mason | DaSkreech: What do I do if the plasmoid I'm trying to install is a .skz file? | 03:57 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Actually I think you may be able to install it from the addwidgets dialog | 03:57 |
| DaSkreech | mason: the configure with cmake works? | 03:59 |
| SilverRook | meh.... the installation has hung at 54% :( | 03:59 |
| DaSkreech | mason: do you have a makefile ? | 04:01 |
| mason | Oh, sorry for taking so long xD | 04:01 |
| mason | Was away for a quick second. | 04:01 |
| DaSkreech | a loooooong second | 04:02 |
| SilverRook | damn | 04:03 |
| mason | daskreech: I believe that the configure with cmake worked... | 04:03 |
| SilverRook | its 4am | 04:03 |
| DaSkreech | SilverRook: Take a break | 04:03 |
| SilverRook | i gotta be at work at 7 | 04:03 |
| SilverRook | lol | 04:03 |
| DaSkreech | See you when you get back from work | 04:03 |
| SilverRook | no point going to sleep now lol | 04:03 |
| mason | Will the makefile be in the folder that the install, uninstall, etc. folders are? | 04:03 |
| DaSkreech | it's not that hard a problem to solve I beleive | 04:03 |
| szrhawaii | how do you build a iso file or what program is easy to use to create an iso file | 04:04 |
| DaSkreech | mason: I don't know it should be in the same directory that you ran the command in but check if it's somewhere else | 04:04 |
| DaSkreech | mkisofs ? | 04:04 |
| DaSkreech | !info mkisofs | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Package mkisofs does not exist in intrepid | 04:04 |
| DaSkreech | bah | 04:04 |
| szrhawaii | got any other programs | 04:05 |
| mason | DaSkreech: What will the makefile's name be...? | 04:05 |
| DaSkreech | makefile | 04:05 |
| DaSkreech | dd | 04:05 |
| mason | I see none. | 04:05 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Hmm | 04:05 |
| DaSkreech | that's not right | 04:05 |
| DaSkreech | run the cmake command again and paste the last like 20 lines | 04:06 |

| mason | DaSkreech: Daangit. | 04:13 |
| SilverRook | feck it i gonna reformat it as fat32 and forget the whole thing too much of a ball ache | 04:13 |

| SilverRook | is there anyone else that can help me cuz DaSkreech is busy | 04:21 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Just for this one | 04:21 |

| DaSkreech | normally I just click on get new plasmoid and choose something sexy from the list to install and then ignore | 04:22 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Few commands away | 04:22 |
| mason | Is it just this certain plasmoid that's strange? | 04:22 |
| DaSkreech | mason: sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential kdebase-workspace-dev | 04:22 |
| mason | Done | 04:23 |
| SilverRook | sod it | 04:23 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Yeah it's his first so I'm guessing he's trying to limit the people who use it to knowledgeable people so he can get high quality feedback | 04:23 |
| DaSkreech | SilverRook: again? :) | 04:23 |
| SilverRook | yup | 04:23 |
| mason | Oh | 04:23 |
| DaSkreech | mason: try the cmake and see if you have errors | 04:23 |
| mason | Should I do the Cmake command again? | 04:23 |
| mason | yep | 04:24 |
| mason | I'm pretty sure it's good now | 04:24 |
| mason | because | 04:24 |
| mason | It actually took time to do all that | 04:24 |
| mason | it was pretty quick before that | 04:24 |
| mason | and the build files have been written to... | 04:24 |
| mason | so | 04:24 |
| mason | sudo make install now? | 04:24 |
| SilverRook | i cant stop it installing its up to installing grub now but i'm gonna format it and use it a s live usb after that option seemed to work a lot better but when i tried booting off it before i got boot error for some reasion | 04:24 |
| DaSkreech | yeah | 04:25 |
| SilverRook | this is what i am trying tofigure out | 04:25 |
| mason | God damnit! Are you kidding me?! | 04:25 |
| mason | Same error | 04:25 |
| SilverRook | what the cause of that is rather than a work around | 04:25 |
| mason | DaSkreech: make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 04:25 |
| DaSkreech | SilverRook: You have to set your bios to boot other device I think | 04:25 |
| DaSkreech | mason: no makefile ? | 04:25 |
| SilverRook | nope i choose what device to boot from the boot menu | 04:25 |
| mason | No makefile | 04:25 |
| DaSkreech | mason: last few lines of cmake again | 04:25 |
| SilverRook | somebody said something about it being an inactive partition | 04:26 |
| SilverRook | thats why i get boot error | 04:26 |
| DaSkreech | maybe | 04:26 |

| rio_ | Hello ppl | 04:46 |
| rio_ | Every right click menu shows some bad b4 popin up any suggesions ? | 04:47 |
| rio_ | Kubuntu 8.10 btw | 04:48 |
| mason | DaSkreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/103769/ | 04:48 |
| roconnor | DaSkreech: noooooo :P | 04:48 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: known issue should get fixed in Jackalope | 04:48 |
| DaSkreech | mason: try just running make | 04:52 |
| mason | so just put in, make? | 04:54 |
| DaSkreech | yes | 04:54 |
| mason | Nothing happens | 04:55 |
| DaSkreech | sudo make install still says no rule | 04:56 |
| mason | no rule | 04:57 |
| mason | :'( | 04:57 |
| mason | daskreech: shall I just try a different plasmoid?? | 04:58 |
| DaSkreech | I suspect so. You can probably get this working as a project it just need 3 lines in the makefile | 04:59 |
| mason | This is kind of sad, in a way :'( One day when I'm extremely 1337 with kde 4.1 and installing plasmoids I'll come back and revisit this f'ing plasmoid that has caused me so much gried. | 05:00 |
| mason | :P | 05:00 |
| DaSkreech | mason: It's not that hard once you know :) | 05:02 |
| mason | daskreech: The thing is, I probably forgot everything I've learned while trying to get it to work :P | 05:02 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Do you have a Get new plasmoids button on the bottom of add widgets? | 05:02 |
| mason | I have... | 05:03 |
| mason | install new widgets | 05:03 |
| mason | and that's all | 05:03 |
| rio_ | I still unable to install AmaroK 2 yet. My adept pkg manager got the xtra url in third parties type bin distribution intrepid and compnents main. Yet it wont upgrade to AmaroK 2 | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | what happens when you click on that ? | 05:03 |
| rio_ | what am I doin wrong ? | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: Why do you want Amarok 2? | 05:03 |
| rio_ | Just wanna try | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | a) it replaces Amarok 1.4 and b) it has less features | 05:04 |
| DaSkreech | sure you wanna try? | 05:04 |
| rio_ | em few guys were sayin it 's good | 05:04 |
| rio_ | and snapshot looks good too | 05:05 |
| DaSkreech | ok | 05:07 |

| DaSkreech | You are missing something from that | 05:14 |
| mason | ? | 05:14 |
| mason | There's nothing that tells me what goes after | 05:14 |
| DaSkreech | cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DKDE-4.1=true ../ | 05:14 |
| DaSkreech | KDE4.1 | 05:14 |
| rio_ | yes further error contains this >> Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - | 05:14 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: Hmm | 05:15 |
| DaSkreech | that shouldn't be locked | 05:15 |
| mason | (where did you find that? :P) | 05:15 |
| mason | ... I don't have CMakeLists.txt | 05:16 |
| mason | YAY! | 05:20 |
| mason | I'm getting a weahter plasmoid | 05:21 |
| mason | and I did make | 05:21 |
| mason | and it's working!!! | 05:21 |
| mason | :) | 05:21 |
| DaSkreech | :-) | 05:23 |
| mason | DaSkreech: Now... How do I find the plasmoid file? | 05:24 |
| mason | I don't know where it was saved to | 05:24 |
| DaSkreech | umm | 05:24 |
| DaSkreech | that I don't know | 05:25 |
| DaSkreech | is it in Add widgets ? | 05:25 |
| mason | Yeah, but I have to find the file | 05:25 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: you have intrepid main for the amarok repo? | 05:25 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Look at the rule for install in the makefile | 05:25 |
| === linuxmce is now known as PeteK | ||
| rio_ | sorry I dont understand ? @ DaSkreech | 05:26 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: What did you add when you added the repo? | 05:27 |
| DaSkreech | I didn't see a release for what you pasted above | 05:27 |
| mason | Foouund it | 05:27 |
| DaSkreech | mason: That section iswhat is missing for the other makefile | 05:29 |
| rio_ | oh that url found on amarok's website | 05:29 |
| mason | DaSkreech: Now I'm wondering how to uninstall plasmoids | 05:29 |
| rio_ | w8 i find it | 05:29 |
| mason | just if I ever want to | 05:29 |
| DaSkreech | mason: I keep asking them about that too :) | 05:29 |
| mason | DaSkreech: So there's no way to do it? | 05:30 |
| rio_ | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main | 05:30 |
| rio_ | this thing | 05:30 |
| DaSkreech | mason: There is it's just not friendly | 05:31 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: ok | 05:31 |
| DaSkreech | sudo apt-get install amarok-kde4 | 05:31 |
| mason | DaSkreech: I was just wondering if I should have "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DKDE-4.1=true ../" saved somewhere because no files I see seem to have it | 05:33 |
| DaSkreech | mason: that was on the site for the first one. I didn't realise you had moved to a new plasmoid | 05:35 |
| rio_ | it says not authentic hmm I started downloadd despite packages not being authentic :\ | 05:36 |
| mason | It's been working for every 2 others that I've tried | 05:36 |
| mason | xD | 05:36 |
| mason | So... | 05:36 |
| mason | I dunno | 05:36 |
| kalorin | is there some way that you can assure yourself that you're running the right driver and that its' working correctly | 05:36 |
| kalorin | ? | 05:36 |
| kalorin | for video I mean | 05:36 |
| jess | ? | 05:36 |
| kalorin | i've got an Nvidia 8600GT | 05:37 |
| DaSkreech | mason: The only thing missing from the makefile you made for the first one is the install rule which should be in the other makefiles | 05:37 |
| kalorin | and it seems REALLY sluggish under kde4.1 | 05:37 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: Yes no GPG key | 05:37 |
| kalorin | just lots and lots of video fragments and odd behaviors | 05:37 |
| * DaSkreech pats kalorin's shoulder | 05:39 | |
| DaSkreech | You are running the right driver | 05:39 |
| kalorin | common complaint? | 05:39 |
| DaSkreech | It's working correctly | 05:39 |
| DaSkreech | How is that for assurance? :0 | 05:39 |
| kalorin | great! | 05:39 |
| kalorin | I feel so much better | 05:39 |
| * kalorin heads off to bed :) | 05:39 | |
| DaSkreech | kalorin: Yeah the nVidia driver kinda sucks for KDE it should be grand in about a month | 05:39 |
| kalorin | ok good | 05:39 |
| kalorin | I'm running the non free version, but I just notice the builtin intel driver on my laptop pushes that fine | 05:40 |
| kalorin | on my desktop sluggish as all get out | 05:40 |
| kalorin | which seems crazy | 05:40 |
| kalorin | 4gb of ram in a E6750 and a 8600GT and you'd think it'd just flat out fly | 05:40 |
| kalorin | :) | 05:40 |
| DaSkreech | Yeah welcome to driver bugs | 05:40 |
| DaSkreech | It's the 2D transform I think | 05:41 |
| kalorin | ah, every time the screen unlocks there's a ton of mishmash on it from whatever was in the frame buffer | 05:41 |
| kalorin | sometimes you can read it, not very secure | 05:41 |
| DaSkreech | Yeah I know | 05:42 |
| DaSkreech | annoying | 05:42 |
| mason | It seems like every Plasmoid is about weather or system monitoring xD | 05:42 |
| kalorin | I'd love a good CPU monitor like 3.5 had | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | no dear I totally wasn't rendering those "tasteful art" photos of you in a 3D cube I swear! | 05:43 |
| kalorin | CPU/memory | 05:43 |
| kalorin | eh | 05:43 |
| kalorin | DaSkreech: heh | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | kalorin: gratned! | 05:43 |
| kalorin | ;) | 05:43 |
| kalorin | name it | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | It's in 4.2 I think | 05:43 |
| DaSkreech | hold on it was blogged | 05:43 |
| rio_ | thanks a lot DaSkreech | 05:44 |
| LeeJunFan | I like the screenlets ones. | 05:44 |
| mason | Are there any system monitors that don't need the temperature doodad thingies? | 05:44 |
| DaSkreech | http://dhaumann.blogspot.com/2009/01/system-load-viewer.html | 05:45 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: worked ? | 05:45 |

| DaSkreech | mason: depends | 05:45 |
| mason | holy crap | 05:46 |
| mason | hmm | 05:46 |
| mason | This is going to make me sound | 05:46 |
| mason | like the biggest idiot ever | 05:46 |
| mason | I thought I was on 4.1... | 05:46 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Most of the plasmoids on kde-look etc are 4.1 | 05:46 |
| mason | I'm on 3.5.10 | 05:46 |
| DaSkreech | mason: How the hell? | 05:46 |
| mason | I just installed Kubuntu 8.10 two days ago and I was sure I was on 4.1 | 05:46 |
| mason | Hmm | 05:47 |
| DaSkreech | mason: ha ha No you are | 05:47 |

| mason | I'm on 4.1.3 | 05:47 |
| kalorin | yeah how do you tell? | 05:47 |
| DaSkreech | Everything else should be 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 | 05:47 |
| mason | Are there any other big sites that have a ton of plasmoids and everything? | 05:48 |
| DaSkreech | kalorin: help -> about KDE | 05:48 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Did you install the plasmoids package ? | 05:48 |
| mason | Which one...? | 05:48 |

| mason | I don't think I have | 05:50 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Go man go! | 05:50 |
| mason | I have it | 05:50 |
| mason | Who knows how, not I, but whatever xD | 05:50 |
| DaSkreech | Might be installed by default I'd be mad if it wasn't | 05:51 |
| DaSkreech | I know I had to install it on hardy | 05:51 |
| mason | Should I get 4.2, do you think? | 05:51 |
| DaSkreech | I know 4.2 rocks :) | 05:52 |
| mason | Hmm | 05:52 |
| DaSkreech | if you really like pplaying with plasmoids then I'd wait till it's out | 05:52 |
| mason | Are there sites like kde-look with more 4.2 stuff? | 05:52 |
| DaSkreech | a lot of the current in the wild plasmoids are 4.1 | 05:52 |
| DaSkreech | 4.2 is very very nice though it's out in less than a month so you can chill if you like | 05:53 |
| mason | Alpha or Beta right now? | 05:53 |
| mason | I was at the site a second ago but I didn't notice xD | 05:53 |
| mason | ah | 05:54 |
| DaSkreech | RC | 05:54 |
| DaSkreech | which is a stupid designation but we have picked it up somehow | 05:55 |
| mason | I'm new to IRC. Is there a way to do ze friend adding and such? | 05:58 |
| mason | Or is more for huge chatrooms and the like. | 05:58 |
| rio_ | If i switch to Gnome now all the KDE source and bin will be in cache and I can restore it later right ? | 05:58 |
| DaSkreech | mason: F4 ? | 06:00 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: Hmm ? | 06:00 |
| rio_ | environment | 06:00 |
| rio_ | GUI | 06:00 |
| mason | ? | 06:00 |
| mason | What about F4? | 06:00 |
| mason | aha | 06:00 |

| DaSkreech | The environment will get dumped. It will be restored next time you login | 06:00 |
| rio_ | I actully am worried bout bad gfx which happens sometimes to drop down menus | 06:02 |
| mason | lul ima watching ur nick. im creepe | 06:02 |

| mason | Are all IRC clients like this? | 06:02 |

| mason | Well that's basically it. | 06:02 |
| mason | DaSkreech: do most 4.1 users enjoy oxygen and stick with it? | 06:04 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Couldn't tell you | 06:05 |
| DaSkreech | rio_: Known bug will be gone in Jackalope hopefully | 06:05 |
| rio_ | I tried about douzen but now back to oxygen. Living things cant survive without it :P | 06:05 |
| DaSkreech | mason: If you don't enjoy it then switch it. No reason to care aboutothers | 06:05 |
| mason | I knkow | 06:05 |
| mason | I was just wondering because I was thinking that it's a pretty nice default theme xD | 06:05 |
| mason | Are there any KDE 4.1 System Monitors that don't need the stuff for the temperature? | 06:06 |
| === rajesh is now known as Guest96847 | ||
| DaSkreech | Dunno. Not really much of a monitor then is it ? | 06:08 |
| mason | Don't they monitor ram usage and stuff? | 06:09 |
| rio_ | hey mason what was the first windows app you missed on ubuntu ? | 06:12 |

| mason | hmm | 06:14 |
| mason | I need a video to watch to test it out. | 06:14 |
| mason | Is dragon player player bad? | 06:14 |
| Guest96847 | hi. I need help with my dual boot kubuntu system with win xp and kubuntu. After upgrade i am unable to work in xp. | 06:15 |
| rio_ | no but since I m not used to it I just prefered something that's similar to good ol' MPC | 06:15 |
| mason | rio_: How long have you been using linux? | 06:16 |

| mason | less | 06:17 |
| mason | 40 | 06:17 |
| mason | probably | 06:17 |
| mason | I had kubuntu 8.10 before | 06:17 |
| mason | But I had to get rid of it. | 06:17 |
| mason | but I sucked | 06:17 |

| mason | still can't | 06:17 |
| mason | but whatever | 06:18 |
| mason | xD | 06:18 |

| mason | I love these plasmoids though | 06:18 |
| pteague | how do i switch tabs in konqueror? | 06:18 |
| Guest96847 | any one to help me with problem of dual boot after upgrade? | 06:18 |
| rio_ | GRuB handles that | 06:19 |
| rio_ | you should try in settings | 06:19 |
| rio_ | and check if windows is in the list | 06:19 |
| Guest96847 | yes. i have opened the grub menu list for editing. | 06:19 |
| Guest96847 | It has windows. My grub list says unlisted os or something like that. | 06:19 |
| mason | Hooray for clashing colors! | 06:20 |
| mason | aw | 06:20 |
| mason | I don't have the green background | 06:20 |
| mason | I just started IRC | 06:21 |
| rio_ | Try repairing grub installation | 06:21 |
| mason | I need some uber channels to go to... | 06:21 |
| mason | hmm | 06:21 |
| rio_ | in tools | 06:21 |
| Guest96847 | how do i reinstall grub? | 06:21 |
| rio_ | Grub editor | 06:21 |
| rio_ | then tools | 06:21 |
| mason | (what's grub?) | 06:22 |
| mason | xD | 06:22 |
| rio_ | there is option install restore grub | 06:22 |
| rio_ | its like boot.ini in windows @ mason | 06:22 |
| Guest96847 | It does have the entry for windows xp at the end. | 06:22 |
| mason | hmm | 06:22 |
| mason | boot.ini? | 06:22 |
| mason | I'm not usually this nooby, I swear! :P | 06:22 |
| Guest96847 | I am sort of newbie. Please let me know step by step, if you don't mind. | 06:23 |
| rio_ | Er I guess ud have to w8 for helpers | 06:23 |
| rio_ | I m not helper :D | 06:23 |
| rio_ | I m also a newbie | 06:23 |
| rio_ | I just know a bit | 06:23 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: What's your question? | 06:23 |
| mason | Oh | 06:24 |
| mason | what's the apt-get command to get the big font pack? | 06:24 |
| mason | Or something like that | 06:24 |
| Guest96847 | I updated my kubuntu and then the xp partition is not opening though the grub menu says other os as one of the options. | 06:24 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: Sounds like you need to edit your menu.lst file found in /etc/grub I think | 06:25 |
| Guest96847 | i have already opened that and it has an entry for windows xp | 06:25 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: What does the entry look like? | 06:25 |
| Guest96847 | it says 'non linux os on /dev/sda1 | 06:26 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: paste the entire section here | 06:26 |
| powertool08 | !paste | 06:26 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 06:26 |
| Guest96847 | and then title windows xp professional | 06:27 |
| mason | I want my new computer :'( | 06:27 |
| Guest96847 | I have pasted the entry at http://paste.ubuntu.com/103785/ | 06:28 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: Ok, that looks good. So its not listed in grub on startup? | 06:30 |
| pidus | there used to a services option in system settings where one could see all the services on the machine (such as apache and mysql) start/stop them and set the defaults...i am unable to find anything similar in 8.10...does anybody know anything about it? | 06:30 |
| Guest96847 | do I need to paste the entire entry for the grub menu list? | 06:33 |
| powertool08 | pidus: Its under K menu -> system settings -> advanced tab -> system services for me but I'm on Hardy | 06:33 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: no | 06:33 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: The problem is that you can't boot into windows correct? | 06:33 |
| Guest96847 | yes. I can use the windows partition though. I can view, copy paste etc. | 06:34 |
| pidus | powertool08, i remember having it on 8.04 but have they removed it from 8.10 :-( | 06:34 |
| powertool08 | pidus: there's always the rc.d files :) | 06:34 |
| mason | What's the apt-get for getting the big font package? | 06:35 |
| powertool08 | mason: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts maybe? | 06:37 |
| mason | oh | 06:38 |
| mason | thank you | 06:38 |
| powertool08 | Guest96847: I'm not sure why it wouldn't boot if the menu.lst file is correct. Try asking in #ubuntu, its more active than this channel | 06:40 |
| mason | aww | 06:40 |
| mason | :'( | 06:40 |
| mason | xD | 06:40 |
| pidus | powertool08, doing it the 'rc.d' way is complicated.. | 06:48 |
| powertool08 | pidus: haha, ya. I wasn't serious, but it is an alternative | 06:49 |
| pidus | i thought 8.10 > 8.04 and things would've been easier | 06:50 |
| powertool08 | pidus: There's also a command similar to sysctl or something that has a text graphics version of what you're looking for | 06:50 |
| pidus | powertool08: are services (such as apache) part of kernel parameters when they start before the login screen?...i don't think so | 06:53 |
| powertool08 | pidus: You can start them before the login screen if you want but not mandatory | 06:53 |

| Zeelot | hi guys I need a lot of help please, I have a 2TB raid set and it used to have a bunch of partitions and an ntfs drive for my data (about 1.5TB), but I expanded the ntfs partition with I think GParted and now I cant access it (it shows as 47GB and the rest unpartitioned but I deleted the older partitions and expanded the NTFS partition to take the whole drive) | 08:35 |
| Zeelot | I have all my data on this 1.5 TB partition and I just wanted to expand it to use all 2TB, after I expanded it I could access it but then I rebooted and now I cannot anymore | 08:36 |
| Zeelot | please any help or direction would be _very_ appreciated | 08:36 |
| === fredl is now known as grma | ||
| Mamarok | Zeelot: well, if it's set as a Raid system, you can not just repartition | 08:39 |
| Zeelot | hardware raid? | 08:39 |
| Mamarok | especially if it is a hardware raid | 08:40 |
| Zeelot | argh what do I do | 08:40 |
| Zeelot | I used gparted to delete the other partitions and expand the ntfs one | 08:40 |
| Mamarok | hm, no idea, you probably nuked the system | 08:40 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: in a raid system you have two physical disks, where one is used as a backup for the first, so if one disk fails, the other is available | 08:41 |
| Zeelot | why is that? the partitioner in the installer does everything fine, is it just moving partitions and resizing? | 08:41 |
| Zeelot | it's raid 5 | 08:41 |
| Mamarok | hm, that's the principle of a Raid system, you should have read some doc before | 08:42 |
| Zeelot | I don't see why it wouldnt work the same way >_> | 08:43 |
| Mamarok | I'm not a Raid specialist but that doesn't sound a good idea to reparition a hardware raid | 08:43 |
| Zeelot | raid drives cannot have partitions moved? | 08:43 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: as I said, I don't know, did you try to read some doc about raid systems? | 08:44 |
| Mamarok | let's see if the bot has an idea: | 08:44 |
| Mamarok | !raid | 08:44 |
| ubottu | 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 | 08:44 |
| Mamarok | hm, seems to be about software raid aka fake raid | 08:45 |
| Zeelot | yea | 08:45 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: try to google your raid system with keywords raid, partition | 08:46 |
| Mamarok | so, buying a 2 TB raid system means you have 1 TB for data available usually | 08:46 |
| Zeelot | I am taking a look at the drive with recovery software | 08:47 |
| Mamarok | you should read some doc first, you might make things worse! | 08:47 |
| Zeelot | no it's raid 5, 4x750GB drives | 08:47 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Hi. | 08:47 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: same problem | 08:47 |
| Zeelot | so 1 drive is for parity | 08:47 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Is it possible to install network-manager from the Live-CD (Intrepid) ? | 08:48 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: if you wrote your parition table the data is most likely gone | 08:48 |
| Zeelot | alright | 08:48 |
| Mamarok | Alan_Lockwood: doesn't it install by default? | 08:48 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Yes | 08:48 |
| Zeelot | well the data is there until it's overwritten | 08:48 |
| Alan_Lockwood | i upgraded it, and it dosnt work | 08:49 |
| Zeelot | I see it, the partition table is just broken | 08:49 |
| Alan_Lockwood | its a bug | 08:49 |
| Alan_Lockwood | I need the old version back | 08:49 |
| Mamarok | Alan_Lockwood: hm, so you have to be patient, reinstalling it form the CD will not resolve the bug | 08:49 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Why not? The Cd version worked great | 08:49 |
| Mamarok | Alan_Lockwood: downgrading is not so easy, you have to remove the current version and load the CD version from the disc, then install the package with dpkg -i | 08:50 |
| Alan_Lockwood | i removed the actual version (No conection right now in the laptop) | 08:51 |
| Alan_Lockwood | im hopping the CD save me from reinstaling. | 08:51 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Wait a minute. | 08:52 |
| Mamarok | Alan_Lockwood: search the CD and locate the package, then copy it to the laptop and install with dpkg -i | 08:52 |
| Alan_Lockwood | Is it easy to make a specific program DO NOT upgrade from usual upgrads? | 08:52 |
| rio_ | how do I fix this ? | 08:52 |
| rio_ | W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following signatures | 08:52 |
| Mamarok | Alan_Lockwood: never did, but you can add a lock to a particular file or just manually choose the packages in Adept (works fine with synaptic) | 08:53 |
| Mamarok | rio_: what error do you get? | 08:54 |
| rio_ | : GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 | 08:54 |

| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 08:54 |
| rio_ | no I don't have wine installed I removed it yesterday | 08:55 |
| Alan_Lockwood | I dont see any program pkg in the CD | 08:55 |
| Mamarok | rio_: you can just ignore this message and chosoe to install | 08:55 |
| Alan_Lockwood | i guess they are all in a heavy few | 08:55 |
| Mamarok | but be aware that unsigned packages might be dangerous | 08:56 |
| rio_ | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 08:56 |
| rio_ | upon apt-get update | 08:56 |
| Mamarok | rio_: did you run it with sudo? | 08:56 |
| rio_ | W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following si | 08:57 |
| rio_ | this is with sudo | 08:57 |
| Mamarok | rio_: are you sure you want to install these packages? | 08:57 |
| rio_ | no I'd rather wanna remove it | 08:58 |
| rio_ | I was about install Gnome environment | 08:58 |
| rio_ | untill KDE probs get fixed | 08:58 |
| Mamarok | rio_: then you should remove this package source first | 08:59 |
| rio_ | I'm not sure if I properly deinstalled the wine yesterday | 08:59 |
| rio_ | ok | 08:59 |
| Mamarok | rio_: what kde problems? | 09:01 |
| rio_ | bad gfx | 09:02 |
| pteague | aptitude purge wine ; rm -fdr ~/.wine | 09:02 |
| rio_ | drop down menys | 09:02 |
| rio_ | menus* | 09:02 |
| rio_ | and right click menus | 09:02 |
| Mamarok | ? works fine here... | 09:02 |
| Mamarok | what version of KDE are you talking about? | 09:03 |
| rio_ | I m not sure bout version of KDE | 09:03 |
| rio_ | is there anything I ca do to check version | 09:03 |
| rio_ | I installed Kubuntu few days back | 09:03 |
| Mamarok | in any app, go to the Help menu and choose about KDE... | 09:03 |
| rio_ | ok | 09:04 |
| Mamarok | rio_: which version of Kubuntu? | 09:04 |
| rio_ | 3.50.10 | 09:04 |
| rio_ | 8.10 | 09:04 |
| rio_ | Ibex | 09:04 |
| Mamarok | and what do you mean by "bad gfx"? | 09:04 |
| rio_ | alfa shows up | 09:04 |
| rio_ | checked gfx | 09:04 |
| Mamarok | ok, that's KDE 4, you must upgrade to 4.1.3 then | 09:04 |
| rio_ | then texture fills | 09:05 |
| Mamarok | rio_: I don't understand you, what is gfx? | 09:05 |
| rio_ | graphics | 09:05 |
| Mamarok | what graphic card do you have? | 09:05 |
| rio_ | intel onboard | 09:05 |
| Mamarok | rio_: did you upgrade to 4.1.3? | 09:05 |
| rio_ | no I havent | 09:05 |
| Mamarok | intel onboard works fine AFAIK | 09:05 |
| Mamarok | do so then, befeore just removing things | 09:06 |
| Mamarok | *before | 09:06 |
| rio_ | I actully started Gnome instller can I stop it ? | 09:06 |
| Mamarok | it's likely to be fixed in 4.1.3 | 09:06 |
| Mamarok | hm, gnome installer? you are not removing KDE when installing Gnome, do you know that? | 09:07 |
| rio_ | ok | 09:07 |
| Mamarok | to install Gnome on an existing set, one just installs ubuntu.desktop | 09:07 |
| rio_ | any way to stop it though ? | 09:07 |
| Mamarok | rio_: could you be a bit more specific on how you did start a Gnome installer? | 09:08 |
| rio_ | install ubuntu desktop in terminal | 09:08 |
| rio_ | >> sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 09:08 |
| Mamarok | no problem, you can remove it once it's installed | 09:08 |
| Mamarok | but don't stop a running pckage install | 09:09 |
| rio_ | ok | 09:09 |
| rio_ | thanks a lot | 09:09 |
| Mamarok | rio_: instead of installoing and removing, you should read a little about different versions, see www.kubuntu.org | 09:09 |
| Mamarok | -o | 09:09 |
| rio_ | Well I intent to use KDE therefore I installed Kubuntu | 09:10 |
| Mamarok | rio_: it's always a good idea to read release notes before installing | 09:11 |
| rio_ | but since version 3 of KDE has bit probs I I wanted to use Gnome | 09:11 |
| Mamarok | and checking for updates once a version is installed | 09:11 |
| rio_ | ok | 09:12 |
| Mamarok | rio_: KDE 3.5? Problems? | 09:12 |
| Mamarok | rio_: be more specific, just installing another desktop environnement will not help solve problems | 09:12 |
| rio_ | hold on konqueror says kde version is 4.1.3 | 09:13 |
| Mamarok | problems with graphic cards are not necessarily solved in an other desktop env., as it depends on drivers and X org, which are the same in Gnome btw. | 09:14 |
| rio_ | and Konversation says its 3.5.10 | 09:14 |
| Mamarok | rio_: Konversation is a kde 3 program, not yet ported to kde 4 | 09:14 |
| rio_ | oh | 09:14 |
| Mamarok | hi jono :) | 09:23 |
| jono | hey Mamarok | 09:23 |
| shb | anyone know how to beat the broken bluetooth stack in kde4? | 09:29 |
| Zeelot | hey im back | 09:30 |
| Zeelot | I fixed my partition data and see my files (on the partitioning tool) but windows still sees it as RAW (not ntfs) any way to force that back to ntfs? | 09:31 |
| cllaudyu | what is plasma desktop for... | 09:32 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: can you access it from Linux? | 09:32 |
| cllaudyu | what it its utility? | 09:33 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: it's the default in KDE 4 | 09:33 |
| Zeelot | Mamarok no because it tells me to go to windows and do a chkdsk /f on it to fix errors (which I cant do until windows sees it as ntfs) | 09:33 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: runs the desktop environnement and the widgets | 09:33 |
| cllaudyu | aha thanks... | 09:33 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: do you have data on it you want to recover? | 09:34 |
| Zeelot | yea lots of it =/ | 09:34 |
| cllaudyu | but when i use a usb cable why isn't it recognized... | 09:34 |
| cllaudyu | i wanted to transfer some photos from my camera... | 09:35 |
| RurouniJones | Before you do anything else, if the data is that important I would try and mirror the drive | 09:35 |
| RurouniJones | or make a copy somehow | 09:35 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: wild guess, the fs type is set wrong in the partition table, but I'm not good enough on that one, sry | 09:35 |
| Zeelot | RurouniJones not possible I dont have that much space anywhere else =( | 09:35 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: that's not plasma handling mounting cameras, you have a widget on the lower left screen | 09:36 |
| cllaudyu | aha thanks again | 09:36 |
| cllaudyu | if i close plasma what will go wrong? | 09:36 |
| RurouniJones | I would say go and buy an HDD if the data is critical, but I can understand your situation. Just be veeeery careful about how you try and fix it | 09:36 |
| Zeelot | RurouniJones I know it's risky but I want to try and fix the partition table | 09:36 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: how that, close plasma? | 09:36 |
| cllaudyu | i mean that desktop | 09:36 |
| cllaudyu | in kde4 | 09:37 |
| Zeelot | it isn't critical just a LOT of things I've gathered over the past | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | you can't "close" plasma, you can only close KDE4, and it will just log you out | 09:37 |
| cllaudyu | it has a close button | 09:37 |
| cllaudyu | i'm not understood | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: don't close it unless you want to quit the deskto | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | *desktop | 09:37 |
| cllaudyu | ok | 09:37 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: you want to transfer photos you said... | 09:37 |
| Zeelot | RurouniJones do you know what I should do to try and fix it? | 09:38 |
| cllaudyu | yes and i wanted to understand plasma as well | 09:38 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: on the lower left of your screen, there's a widget that looks like a computer, it says "last plugged in device" when you hover over it with the mouse | 09:38 |
| cllaudyu | ooh thank u | 09:39 |
| cllaudyu | i'l try it know | 09:39 |
| Mamarok | if your camera is connected and on, it should be seen once you click on that widget, then you can open it with Dolphin | 09:39 |
| RurouniJones | Zeelot: I don't know enough about this to give any useful advice | 09:39 |
| cllaudyu | and my webcam... my webcam isn't found on kde | 09:40 |
| Zeelot | any direction as to who might be able to help me? a channel for this kind of stuff? | 09:40 |
| cllaudyu | i have a installation cd only for windows | 09:40 |
| cllaudyu | for my webcam | 09:40 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: partitioning is tough, maybe there will be someone later here or try in #ubuntu | 09:41 |
| cllaudyu | how can i make it to be recognized by kubuntu | 09:41 |
| Zeelot | Mamarok thanks | 09:41 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: that installation disc will not help, what make is your camera? | 09:41 |
| wang | hi all | 09:41 |
| cllaudyu | armedia | 09:41 |
| kniolet | Zeelot: you may have to use some data recovery service or something like that... i hate when disks get messed up and you lose you data, thats happened to me more than once :-/ | 09:41 |
| cllaudyu | the camera is armedia tipe KSISII | 09:42 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: what is your native language? | 09:42 |
| cllaudyu | romania | 09:42 |
| cllaudyu | why? | 09:42 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: because I only found romanian help when I googeld for your camera :) | 09:43 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: wait, I give you the link :) | 09:43 |
| cllaudyu | aaaa | 09:43 |
| cllaudyu | it's maybe used only in romania | 09:43 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: not necessarily, it's sometimes only a name that's different | 09:44 |
| Zeelot | ugh I hate how I can browse all my files with the recovery tool but cant fix the partition enough to actively browse my drive | 09:44 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: see here: http://forum.softpedia.com/index.php?showtopic=407383 | 09:44 |
| cllaudyu | aha... | 09:44 |
| Mamarok | Zeelot: in that recovery tool, there should be an option to set the FS type I guess | 09:44 |
| comedit | can't find out why my sent mail from imap accounts keeps being displayed in my local folders and not in sent folders per imap account in Kontact | 09:45 |
| cllaudyu | i saw it | 09:45 |
| Zeelot | Mamarok I did and linux sees it fine as NTFS, the tool sees it as NTFS...but windows doesnt and that's the only thing I need | 09:45 |
| Mamarok | comedit: because you did send it from Kmail locally, so that's normal | 09:46 |
| RurouniJones | Why not just get your files in linux? | 09:46 |
| * booleancat thinks it funny that Linux can possibly handle NTFS better than win in this case | 09:46 | |
| * Mamarok is not surprised | 09:46 | |
| cllaudyu | i have another camera... a genius digital camera with webcam function... maybe that will work on kubuntu? | 09:46 |
| Zeelot | RurouniJones because it's an ntfs drive and I cannot mount it in linux in it's current state | 09:46 |
| RurouniJones | Tried one of those HDD to USB converters? | 09:47 |
| comedit | Mamarok: is there a way that it uses the servers sending so i will see it also from remote places what i have sent ? | 09:47 |
| RurouniJones | or are you talking about software state | 09:47 |
| Zeelot | linux just keeps saying go to windows and fix it then come back | 09:47 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: on Linux you just need the drivers for the camera, did you search for your camera with Google? that's how I cam accross the first one... | 09:47 |
| RurouniJones | Roigh | 09:47 |
| cllaudyu | i searched but did not found any driver | 09:47 |
| Mamarok | comedit: check your settings for sending then | 09:47 |
| cllaudyu | for armedia i mean | 09:48 |
| cllaudyu | i gues i will find for genius | 09:48 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: unfortunately not all devices have free drivers | 09:48 |
| cllaudyu | i know that... | 09:48 |
| cllaudyu | then i will not be able to use my webcam | 09:48 |
| comedit | Mamarok: i did but i got stuck i will check the settings once more | 09:48 |
| Mamarok | comedit: if you use sendmail for sending it's local, choose smtp to use your server | 09:49 |
| cllaudyu | ok... thanks for the info... | 09:49 |
| Mamarok | :) | 09:50 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: in any case, there's also a Romanian channel for hel: | 09:50 |
| Mamarok | !ro | cllaudyu | 09:50 |
| ubottu | cllaudyu: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro | 09:50 |
| Mamarok | *hel even | 09:50 |
| cllaudyu | know that too but it's empty | 09:50 |
| Mamarok | *help | 09:50 |
| cllaudyu | !desktop | 09:50 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 09:50 |
| comedit | Mamarok: they are all set to smtp but still the sent messages do not appear in my sent items | 09:50 |
| Mamarok | well, sometimes one has to be patient, especially on Monday mornings :) | 09:50 |
| cllaudyu | by the wya where r u from | 09:51 |
| Mamarok | comedit: no idea then, you might send yourself a copy to have it on your server then | 09:51 |
| Mamarok | comedit: did you try to ask in #kdepim? | 09:52 |
| Mamarok | cllaudyu: from Switzerland | 09:52 |
| cllaudyu | i want to use Konversation for other servers ... but can't find the way to do it... | 09:53 |
| comedit | yeah thought about that to but, i don't like these types of work arounds | 09:53 |
| Mamarok | ok folks, I'm afk, later | 09:53 |
| cllaudyu | i'm gonna go... bye | 09:53 |

| ubuntu | erm | 10:20 |
| ubuntu | I'd like to bitch about something that is free | 10:20 |
| ubuntu | Kubuntu doesnt have enough twirly knob's or buttons to press | 10:21 |
| shadeslayer | ubuntu:i think it has enough of them lol | 10:23 |
| brmassa | jussi01: managed to make it work. just a note: only when it was data DVD. making an ISO and then burn works | 10:26 |
| william | I used to be able to right click on a folder under kde 3.5 and share it over the network. Has this functionality gone from kde 4.1 or do I need to install a package? | 10:30 |
| ubuntu | William: you need more twirly knobs and buttons | 10:34 |
| william | haha | 10:35 |
| william | Why does Adept not list all the availalble packages that apt-get does? | 10:37 |
| william | e.g: I had to use apt-get to install postgresql because it was not listed under Adept | 10:37 |
| comedit | william: install synaptic | 10:37 |
| ubuntu | Would anyone care to tell me how to reinstall grub? Vista killed grub, its coming up with an error 17 message | 10:38 |
| SlimeyPete | !grubfix | 10:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about grubfix | 10:38 |
| SlimeyPete | !grub | 10:38 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:38 |
| ubuntu | cheers, should be able to figure it out from there :) | 10:39 |
| william | eww, synaptic is not a qt app | 10:39 |
| william | ugly | 10:39 |
| booleancat | Anyone here know why the alt-f2 menu doesn't accept <RET> if you type the whole program name (all -1 char works fine...) | 10:39 |
| SlimeyPete | william: adept is the equivalent for QT | 10:39 |
| comedit | william: some people are ugly to but work better then beautiful ones | 10:40 |
| SlimeyPete | ah, I see, you already found adept | 10:40 |
| SlimeyPete | adept *should* show all the same packages. I tuses the same database. | 10:41 |
| SlimeyPete | sounds like a bug. | 10:41 |
| william | comeedit, hahaha | 10:41 |
| comedit | synaptic shows more i don't know why exactly | 10:42 |
| william | ah, adept is fairly new apparently (compared to synaptic) | 10:43 |
| === bvalek2_ is now known as bvalek2 | ||
| william | so not quite feature parity yet, and some bugs... synaptic does list more packages | 10:44 |
| william | what do I install for mp3 support in xine? thats the amarok backend I am using. | 10:45 |
| william | sorry, I suppose I should google this stuff instead of bugging you people | 10:45 |
| booleancat | william: libxine1-ffmpeg | 10:46 |
| booleancat | it's in universe, i believe | 10:46 |
| william | it's weird that is not a required dependency of amarok | 10:47 |
| william | what's the point of amarok without mp3 support | 10:48 |
| booleancat | It's not weird, it's political | 10:48 |
| william | cool | 10:48 |
| jussi01 | william: installing kubuntu-restricted-extras gets you most of theose proprietary common stuff. flash. mp3 support, java etc | 10:49 |
| booleancat | It's /probably/ illegal to use it in the US | 10:49 |
| booleancat | but everyone else is doing it! | 10:49 |
| william | those guys in the US need to sort out their laws | 10:49 |
| william | isn't it supposed to be the land of the free? | 10:49 |
| booleancat | yes we do... badly :( | 10:49 |
| ubuntu | hmm | 10:50 |
| ubuntu | Is anyone brave enough to help a retard with grub problems? | 10:50 |
| jussi01 | ubuntu: just ask and we will see | 10:50 |
| ubuntu | Tried following the help guide jobby and its coming up error 27 | 10:50 |
| booleancat | ubuntu: depends... how retarded? | 10:50 |
| ubuntu | Well, if I were to say that vista has borked my grub, and I've just followed the help guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub and Im coming to the setting root(hd0,5) bit and its coming up with an error 27 message | 10:51 |
| comedit | can't find out why my sent mail from imap accounts keeps being displayed in my local folders and not in sent folders per imap account in Kontact | 10:51 |
| jussi01 | comedit: because its stored locally, not on the imap server | 10:52 |
| comedit | yeah but how can i do that | 10:52 |
| booleancat | ubuntu: is hd0, partition 5 (remember, start counting at 0...) the linux partition? | 10:53 |
| comedit | It want to be able to see remotely what i have sent per account | 10:53 |
| rio__ | Installing Gnome on Kubuntu only means installing few Gnome apps and depedencyz right ? | 10:53 |
| tictric | comedit: in the settings for the identity in extended tab | 10:53 |
| ubuntu | I believe so, thats what the command find boot/grub/stage1 command returned | 10:53 |
| tictric | comedit: if you use KMail, that is | 10:54 |
| comedit | ah now I see it (advanced instead of extended btw) thanks ! | 10:55 |
| william | jussi01, thank you for that kubuntu-restricted-extras tip... awesome | 10:55 |
| booleancat | so, the "root (hd0, 5)" command is giving the error? | 10:55 |
| comedit | tictric: i will change imeediately | 10:55 |
| william | why are you trying to put grub onto your partition 5? | 10:56 |
| william | why not put it on you MBR (hd0,0) | 10:56 |
| william | are you not using Grub to boot your system? | 10:57 |
| * booleancat wonders why gamers insist on being interested in linux... | 10:57 | |
| ubuntu | William: as stated before, I am a retard | 10:57 |
| sara_ | hello | 10:57 |
| sara_ | i need help | 10:58 |
| sara_ | anyboby can help me | 10:58 |
| sara_ | ' | 10:58 |
| booleancat | Error 27 is unrecognized command... are you typing everything correctly? | 10:58 |
| ubuntu | I am using dual boot, but alas vista seems to kill grub, so I wont be in future, I only booted into vista to try play some poker :( | 10:58 |
| william | well, in order for your system to boot from grup you will need to install it in the Master Boot Record of one of your drives | 10:58 |
| booleancat | sara_: It's generally better to just ask your question. If we can/want to help, we will | 10:58 |
| ubuntu | more than likely not booleancat, im a retard remember | 10:58 |
| william | so (hd0, 0) for the first drive in your system | 10:58 |
| ubuntu | right, I'll just type root(hd0,0) then aye? | 10:59 |
| william | yes. | 10:59 |
| ubuntu | nah, still error 27 | 10:59 |
| william | do you have 2 drives in your system? | 10:59 |
| sara_ | i've got an old laptop whith 12mB ram . which kind of distro can i install on it ? | 11:00 |
| booleancat | ? this is from the grub prompt, right? | 11:00 |
| ubuntu | erm, yes but one is not plugged in | 11:00 |
| sara_ | (i'm new by sorry....) | 11:00 |
| ubuntu | yes, from the grub prompt | 11:00 |
| sara_ | 128 ops.... | 11:00 |
| william | ubuntu, error 27 is 'Unrecognized command' | 11:00 |
| booleancat | sara_: Look into DSL (d**n small linux) | 11:00 |
| william | are you just typing it into your bash command prompt? | 11:00 |
| william | or are you actually in grub? | 11:00 |
| ubuntu | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 11:01 |
| sara_ | booleancat: ubuntu isn't possible ? | 11:01 |
| william | ie, did you previously type 'sudo grub' | 11:01 |
| ubuntu | grub> root(hd0,0) | 11:01 |
| ubuntu | root(hd0,0) | 11:01 |
| ubuntu | Error 27: Unrecognized command | 11:01 |
| ubuntu | yup | 11:01 |
| william | ubuntu, that is not a command | 11:01 |
| booleancat | sara_: oh, you said 128MB, not 12... then any of the *buntus would probably work | 11:01 |
| booleancat | I think you'll need a special install disc though | 11:01 |
| ubuntu | what? I typed root(hd0,0) | 11:01 |
| sara_ | booleancat: which flavour ? | 11:01 |
| ubuntu | that not gonna work? | 11:01 |
| booleancat | sara_: With that amount of RAM, probably Xubuntu | 11:02 |
| sara_ | booleancat: sorry form my english :( | 11:02 |
| booleancat | What's your native language? | 11:02 |

| ubuntu | heheh | 11:07 |
| ubuntu | IM SPESHAL!! | 11:07 |
| ubuntu | now im off to reboot :) | 11:07 |
| * booleancat STILL hasn't used Vista enough to judge it... | 11:07 | |
| ubuntu | erm | 11:07 |
| ubuntu | I have | 11:07 |
| ubuntu | some good ideas, and to be fair its not as bad as everyone says, the whole asking the user before they run an app/file is probably a good idea | 11:08 |
| sara_ | booleancat: other ideas ? | 11:08 |
| booleancat | I've been *nix only for probably at least 7 years now | 11:08 |
| ubuntu | the menu is terrible tho | 11:08 |
| rio__ | Do I need to install Graphic drivers to run KDE properly ? | 11:08 |
| ubuntu | Im quite liking kubuntu, the only problem I have is that the windows/buttons are not always drawn nicely with gtk | 11:08 |

| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 11:09 |
| ubuntu | its the way forward tho, windows is getting worse and worse, Mac OSX only have one mouse button so its kubuntu time | 11:09 |
| agung | hi all...!!! how to playing mp3 for kde.? | 11:09 |
| booleancat | sara_: Not really, DSL is *really* small... I was hoping xubuntu only needed 128MB ram | 11:09 |
| ubuntu | You should get MC Hammer to sing 'KUBUNTU TIME!' | 11:10 |

| ubuntu | pretty good answer, considering | 11:11 |
| booleancat | true | 11:11 |
| ubuntu | My timing is not good | 11:11 |
| ubuntu | plus the line 'I'd quite happily drown a bagfull of kittens' is not a good chat up line | 11:11 |
| booleancat | true... I find that not wanting to get laid is a pretty surefire way to get girls... only problem is not wanting them | 11:12 |
| ubuntu | ah, the ignore them paradigm | 11:12 |
| booleancat | yeah | 11:12 |
| booleancat | kinda... I'm nice and all. I just don't want to sex0r | 11:13 |
| booleancat | Throws them off guard | 11:13 |
| ubuntu | The amount of drunk or intoxicated girls I could have had :/ | 11:13 |
| ubuntu | makes me kinda sick that I dont do drunk girls :/ | 11:14 |
| booleancat | ditto, actually | 11:14 |
| booleancat | meeting girls at the bar is lame... they're all drunkies | 11:14 |
| ubuntu | when in reality, for a lass to even get into bed with me she's gonna have to have drank a fair bit, im no pretty thing | 11:14 |
| ubuntu | girls are drunkards, and hobags and generally not very nice people | 11:15 |
| booleancat | I've at least got that going for me... I hear I'm quite a handsome man. Loud and offensive in public, but I look good doing it ;) | 11:15 |

| ocs | (kubuntu 8.04) Hi. how can I make a folder samba-shared ? I tried the "share" folder option from konqueror but it doesn't work....) | 13:09 |
| Rio_t | hello How do create home dir for another users. I have created a user account but i cant login with that 2nd user account. | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | how did you make the user? | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | normally it makes a home dir for them | 13:10 |
| Rio_t | from Kuser or something like that | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: i can show you my smb.conf, its childishl simple to write | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | i just do 'sudo adduser billgates' or whatever | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: make sure you run: sudo smbpasswd <your user name> and type your login password 3 times | 13:11 |
| Rio_t | ok thanks but wat will happen to currently created 2nd account | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | Rio_t, no idea.. if it dosent even have a home.. you could just make a home directroy | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | sudo mkdir /home/USERNAME | 13:12 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: http://pastebin.com/f160ab307 | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | sudo chown username.username /home/USERNAME | 13:12 |
| ocs | Failed to find entry for user root. | 13:12 |
| ocs | Failed to modify password entry for user root | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: you dont have root, you use your account | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | You really dont want the root user to be accessing samba shares directtly | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | :) | 13:12 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip: Dr_willis_: will you be here next 6 hours or so? | 13:13 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: anyway, it's hard to configure samba shared resources in this way... | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Tm_T: possibly | 13:13 |
| ocs | isnt' there a GUI utility ? | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | Tm_T, perhaps another 2 hrs | 13:13 |
| ocs | with kde3 I did all by gui | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: i just dont like it, if you read my smb.conf at the bottom you will see my config | 13:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | I find samba very easy to configure.. but i did take the time and read the 'using samba' book. | 13:13 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip: Dr_willis_: ok, if anyone asks why Kopete fails to connect MSN, blame MS server having quirks | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: the thing in the brackets is the share name | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: the rest is self explanatory | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Tm_T: i despise both | 13:14 |
| Tm_T | ActionParsnip: still if anyone asks, now you know the answer | 13:14 |
| === mm_ is now known as ksa-24 | ||
| ocs | ActionParsnip: let's try, thnks | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: remember to run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: after each time you modify the file | 13:15 |
| Dr_willis_ | actually.. Im not sure you need to restart samba :) but it wont hurt. | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: you'll need kdesudo kate / sudo nano (or whatever cli editor you use) to edit it | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | I alwyas enable the HOME shares in the smb.conf also | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willisit needs to reload the config file after its editted doesnt it? | 13:16 |
| xp-killer | my friend want to install kubuntu and try out compiz but dont have internet to download compiz,how can i bring compiz to him? | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | ActionParsnip, i was thinking it 'sees' the config has been changed.. and reloads it.. | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willisthats off my fileserver so I have a centralised store for EVERYTHING | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | xp-killer, you are better off not using compiz with kde4 | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis_: oic, nice | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | ActionParsnip, :) at one time - yes ya did have to restart it.. but i dont think so any more - fior samba at least | 13:17 |
| xp-killer | Dr_willis_: kde4? | 13:17 |
| xp-killer | Dr_willis_: why not? | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | xp-killer, you would also need the proper 3d video card drivers. - kde4 has its own eyecandy. you dont need to use compiz with it. | 13:18 |
| ocs | ActionParsnip: I don't have /etc/init.d/samba restart | 13:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | plus compix + kde4 = can be very annoying experioence | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: sudo apt-get install samba | 13:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | ocs, you dont ahve the samba package/server installed then | 13:18 |
| xp-killer | Dr_willis_: eye candy thing have the cube and all? | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | compiz can be very annoying | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | period | 13:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | xp-killer, too much eyecandy causes Ocular-cavaties | 13:18 |
| xp-killer | Dr_willis_: no time to play im serious | 13:19 |
| ocs | ah sorry. I thought it was installed by default | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !info samba | 13:19 |
| ubottu | samba (source: samba): a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4 (intrepid), package size 4266 kB, installed size 11904 kB | 13:19 |
| xp-killer | Dr_willis_: where can i get the deb file compiz? | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | xp-killer, serious about what then? there is no 'single' deb file for compiz. | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ocs: not everyone needs file sharing, hence optional | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | xp-killer, you would need to get your 3d video card drivers going.. and then isntall all the needed bits for compiz. | 13:20 |
| xp-killer | Dr_willis_: then when u install stuff where do the deb files go? | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | - /var/cache/apt i think | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | or var/apt/cache ? somthing like that | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | thats where it downloads the .debs to. befor it isntalls them | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: if you havent installed video drivers its not gonna work | 13:21 |
| xp-killer | ActionParsnip: no i want it for a friend who dont have internet | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptoncd | 13:21 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | You woudl be much better off bringing his PC somewher where he can have the internet then. | 13:21 |
| Pici | !offline | is also handy | 13:22 |
| ubottu | is also handy: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ (now with Intrepid support) | 13:22 |
| xp-killer | ActionParsnip: yes it will cause kubuntu comes with default drivers that had work with me without installig drivers | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | default driver for what video card? | 13:22 |
| xp-killer | i tink it was an ati | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis_ | ati and nvidia both will most likely not work - without their propitary drivers for compiz. | 13:22 |
| xp-killer | it was when i was on 7.10 | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: then use aptoncd to get compizconfig-settings-manager on a cd so you can put it on the non networked pc | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: id suggest getting it hooked up while you get it installed for ease sake | 13:23 |
| === theseinfeld|away is now known as theseinfeld | ||
| Dr_willis_ | comiz uses the '3d' drivers.. - so it needs them for all the eyecandy effects | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: well if its not 7.10 it might not be the same | 13:23 |
| xp-killer | ActionParsnip: can ps3 run compiz? | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: not sure, id imagine so | 13:24 |
| xp-killer | no i give him 8.10 | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: then its not 7.10 so it may be different, no harm in installing packages though to test | 13:24 |
| xp-killer | ActionParsnip: does it have kubuntu for ps3 the one i instal was ubuntu wasnt to happy with it | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: if its no good, you're gonna need more work | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !ps3 | 13:25 |

| xp-killer | cool tanks i didnt see kubuntu for the ps3 2007 | 13:26 |
| xp-killer | it didnt had it | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: you can install kde goodness on ubunu then remove the gnome stuff | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | i'd use fluxbox personally but thats my 2p worth | 13:27 |
| xp-killer | ActionParsnip: yea did that but it still had it it ways of doing stufff different it wasnt the same as kubuntu | 13:28 |
| xp-killer | what do they mean by No Desktop Link Found | 13:28 |
| SlimeyPete | xp-killer: it should've been identical. did you install the kubuntu-desktop package? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: how do you get the error? | 13:28 |
| xp-killer | ActionParsnip: its not an error | 13:29 |
| xp-killer | wow this is DDL stuuf cool | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ddl? | 13:29 |
| xp-killer | no torent | 13:29 |
| xp-killer | direct download | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | get it via http or ftp | 13:29 |
| xp-killer | no here is good | 13:29 |
| xp-killer | ddl | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: make sure you md5 check all the isos you download | 13:30 |
| xp-killer | wat is md5? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | 13:31 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: makes sure what you downloaded hasnt been corrupted in transport | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: and slipped by your transport layer in tcp | 13:32 |
| xp-killer | :s | 13:32 |
| xp-killer | i dont understand your language | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | xp-killer: you download stuff from the web | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | it may not be 100% correct | 13:34 |
| xp-killer | i know | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | as the data passes it may encounter noise and faulty network sockets | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | this can damage the data | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | when you recieve each packet the parity is checked | 13:34 |
| xp-killer | ok now i understand lol | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | but this is not enough especially something as critical as an operating system | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | so there is an MD5 sum of the iso on the same place you download from | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | you compare the sum to the sum you calculate from your downloaded data, if they match then the data you have downloaded is correct | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | you can also have burning jitters and errors which can be reduced by burning as slowly as possible | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | the cd also has a tool to check it again to make sure the data is spot on | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | this can reduce issues with the installation process as well as the installed system itself | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | you get folks wo blindly burn and install systems with unchecked media then are suprised when it doesnt work and they say "ubuntu sucks" | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | thne i tell them to check stuff and its all bad so i say "they suck" | 13:38 |
| xp-killer | lol | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | if you can md5 check, do so | 13:39 |
| rio__ | Ok I created new account but now new account created using almost same dir old dir guest and new is Guest | 13:39 |
| rio__ | how do I del old dir | 13:40 |
| rio__ | it says cant del | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: make sure you need nothing in the folder at all including all sub directorys | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: then sudo rm -rf /path/to/folder | 13:40 |
| rio__ | no it was empty | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: rm -rf is HUGELY aggressive so watch w you use it | 13:41 |
| rio__ | I did same but says no persmission | 13:41 |
| rio__ | I m admin | 13:41 |
| rio__ | yet cant | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: is the folder in use as a home dir right now? you will need to log off and on to get the new home dir | 13:41 |
| rio__ | no | 13:43 |
| rio__ | it never was home folder | 13:43 |
| rio__ | I manually created it | 13:43 |
| rio__ | so Guest account can log in | 13:43 |
| rio__ | but i never succeeded that way | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: oh jeez, guest accounts are ripe for attacks | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: does guest account have a password setup? | 13:43 |
| rio__ | now guest home folder is called Guest | 13:44 |

| ddurham | hmm, nm, just found it | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: sudo chown -R guest /folder/path | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: thats because i'm guessing you are logged in as root | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: am i right/ | 13:45 |
| rio__ | no I m logged in as rio | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | good | 13:46 |

| somekool | are kde4.2 rc1 packages in preparation? | 13:47 |
| rio__ | and guest dir is owned by root | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: sudo chown -R guest /path/folder | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: remember tat if the username has been added as Guest then you must use Guest | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | rio__: Linux is CasE SenSITivE | 13:48 |
| rio__ | I figured that out | 13:50 |
| rio__ | I think I ll leave that dir alone for while. Thanks for the help | 13:51 |

| malik_ | I got a wird situation with the kde4 desktop | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | malik_: wassup | 14:13 |
| P4o3n1x | is it a known bug, that kde has strange graphic bugs when starting up on the EeePC? i have misplaced pixels on both sides of the login screen | 14:15 |
| malik_ | after intallation it was working good, but suddenly when I try to open the home folder from the toolbar, it opens amarok, not dolph as I would like | 14:15 |
| malik_ | any Idea | 14:16 |
| malik_ | ? | 14:16 |

| ddurham | is there a replacement for libplasma2? | 14:16 |

| ActionParsnip | ddurham: try: apt-cache search plasma | grep lib | 14:17 |
| ddurham | that comes back with the other 2: libplasma1, and libplasma-dev | 14:18 |

| BluesKaj | dwidmann, gewtting the latest vlc to do any thing right is an accomplishment , it's totally screwed up , the older versions work much better | 14:51 |
| dwidmann | BluesKaj: well, I've got both installed for a reason. | 14:51 |
| BluesKaj | use the older one | 14:52 |
| dwidmann | BluesKaj: 'less you know a way to get the ati catalyst to sync to vblank with non-opengl things, which I can't seem to figure out (this is the real root of the problem, very frustrating) | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | dwidmann are you using the restricted "recommended" ati driver ? | 14:54 |
| dwidmann | BluesKaj: I'm using the latest from their website, nothing older will work (newish card) | 14:54 |

| ghostcube | then you must set an password for root | 15:23 |

| student022 | Hi! I have installed Ubuntu8.04 on server B and run the gnome desktop on B, accessing it with nxclient from A. When I open a gnome-terminal from within the desktop on B, I get an error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal". How to avoid this? | 16:42 |
| student022 | I found reports on /etc/fstab or udev errors that prevent the /dev/pts directory from having the right settings. But /dev/pts/0 exits, so its probably something else. | 16:42 |

| MikeH | Evening all | 18:50 |
| MikeH | I tried KDE 4 on Intrepid a few weeks back, and it seemed rather buggy and slow | 18:51 |
| MikeH | Is this a known issue, or have a done something wrong/missed something somewhere? | 18:51 |
| MikeH | Or is this usual, and it's just not finished yet | 18:51 |
| legodude_ | 4.2 is much nicer | 18:51 |
| Tm_T | MikeH: mmmmm, nVidia? | 18:51 |
| legodude_ | so I would say it is usual and not finished yet | 18:52 |
| [GRS] | uh.. its not slow... certainly not for me =/ been using it on all my machines [kubuntu, arch and opensuse], whats your specs? | 18:52 |
| Tm_T | legodude_: nah | 18:52 |
| legodude_ | 4.1 certainly is buggy | 18:52 |
| Tm_T | wasn't for me though | 18:52 |
| [GRS] | yeah obviously :P but its not slow for me | 18:53 |
| MikeH | Tm_T: ATI, drivers are installed, as compiz under gnome works perfectly. | 18:54 |
| Tm_T | MikeH: doesn't matter | 18:54 |
| Tm_T | MikeH: it's known that KDE4 uses stuff that manufacturers never really tested properly | 18:54 |
| MikeH | [GRS]: Intel Q6600 (quad) @ 3.3GHz, 4GB Ram, ATI 4850 | 18:55 |
| MikeH | Tm_T: So, what does that mean for my problems? | 18:55 |
| legodude_ | MikeH: if you are willing to live on the edge, try 4.2 beta | 18:55 |
| legodude_ | it is a great improvement | 18:55 |
| MikeH | My brand new, second to top range graphics card is insufficient to display a desktop? :P | 18:55 |
| Tm_T | MikeH: well, it could be fixed with newer versions of KDE and eventually also with newer drivers | 18:55 |
| Tm_T | MikeH: nah, old intels are doing fine | 18:56 |
| MikeH | So, is 4.2 not default with Intrepid, if not, is there a repo that'll handle it? | 18:56 |
| legodude_ | look at the topic | 18:56 |
| Tm_T | MikeH: see topic | 18:56 |

| shadeslayer | any idea on how to edit GRUB to make Kubuntu my default OS until i press F8 or something similar | 19:47 |
| shadeslayer | to boot it into Vista | 19:47 |
| ddurham | there's a way to do that yes | 19:48 |
| shadeslayer | which would be?? | 19:48 |
| ddurham | I think it's "hit enter for grub menu" | 19:48 |
| ddurham | have you looked at the grub documentation? | 19:48 |
| shadeslayer | BTW im in Vista right now | 19:48 |

| shadeslayer | the above?? | 19:48 |
| ddurham | http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Hidden-menu-interface | 19:49 |
| ddurham | you have to boot to linux and edit your menu.lst | 19:50 |
| ddurham | or something like that | 19:50 |
| shadeslayer | which topic should i read | 19:50 |
| shadeslayer | 12.3?? | 19:50 |
| ddurham | "hidden-menu-interface" | 19:51 |
| ddurham | I linked straight to it | 19:51 |
| shadeslayer | ill open it again?? | 19:52 |
| ddurham | good idea | 19:52 |
| ddurham | it will be very easy once you figure out what you need to do | 19:52 |
| ddurham | I think "hiddenmenu" is the command you want | 19:52 |
| shadeslayer | apparently my browser didnt recognise the URL properly,had to manually search for it,thnx for the info | 19:54 |
