[00:20] nothing, I execute the command apt-get update and the error message [00:20] ;) [00:20] clarify the whole problem from the beginning - may be a good idea. Ive been in and out all day [00:20] dr_willis: [00:20] he already said it [00:20] Anyone good with SSH? I can ssh localhost, but when I try to ssh another machine, it times out. Port 22 is open. [00:20] scroll up [00:20] NGL-Jabrroa, and as i said ive been in and out of the channel a lot.. so i dont have it all. [00:21] np :) [00:21] im just telling ya :) [00:21] Plus what i did see him say.. made no sence. [00:21] tekstacy: can you ing the other machine? can you try using the ip instead of hostname? is the sshd running on the other machine?

It even worked before, then stopped working durring several updates. Kinda reminds me of Windows like that [00:25] tekstacy: strange, which updates? this should be the question :) [00:26] elwood, that's what I did. Moth machines are on a small lan. [00:26] that's the problem [00:26] elwood, that is a VERY good question. I haven't tried to use ssh for a few months, it could be many [00:27] yusniel, whats the problem? does it fail to later install stuff? or what? If the file has allready been downloaded/read - it gets ignored due to it not needing to get reread... [00:28] when i do a 'apt-get update' i get several lines like --> Ign http://winff.org intrepid/universe Translation-en_US [00:28] thats because that file has allready been read/downloade and not changed. so it dosent need to get redownloaded [00:29] Is there an easy way to wipe out all the ssh stuf, config files, binaries, and just start over? [00:29] no, I can install any package without problems. [00:29] NGL-TwYsTeD: starting the upgrade, thanks for the help === anthony is now known as Guest80734 [00:29] ok, that's ok [00:30] I had a repo that was no longer online. somehow that was causing the official repos to not update properly. once I removed the bad repo from sources.list I suddenly had over 100 upgraded packages [00:31] Hi, I just reinstalled Kubuntu, and I seem to be having a display problem. The largest resolution I can select is 1152x864. Before I reinstalled i ran at either 1280x960 or 1400x1050. How can i force a resolution, or add another resolution to my choices under "Display" in System Settings? [00:31] or is not a mistake...ok, thank you [00:31] tthank you dr_willis. [00:32] yusniel, its a 'feature' === fd is now known as Ratchet4620 [00:32] so a lot of worrying about nothing. :) [00:33] elwood, I think I might just bite the bullet and upgrade to 8.10 on both machines and hope for the best (*snif* Bye KDE 3.x, I'll miss you....) [00:33] ok [00:33] ok, dr_willis, I am new in this world, and I need help. Thanks again. [00:34] how do i change the read write permisions on my exturnal HD and my other partions so that i can delete things and move files there [00:34] yusniel no worries :D [00:34] ok [00:34] Ratchet4620, it will depend on the filesystem of the external HD [00:35] its ext2 [00:36] bye all. Thanks for the help [00:37] * tekstacy tips hat to dr_willis [00:37] Ratchet4620, what i do for exceranal ext2/3 drives is make each user a directory and chown/chmod that dir to be owned by the specific user. That way they have full access to that directrory [00:37] and thus can use it to store things in. [00:38] with ext2/3 the big thing to be aware of is the files owner. [00:38] ok [00:38] with ntfs/vfat - its all controlled by the MOUNT options. [00:38] thats the big picture/thing to rember. :P [00:39] if you want the user to own the whole drive.. 'sudo chown user.user /media/DrivesCurrentMountPoint' (AFTER the drive is mounted) [00:47] Hi, I just reinstalled Kubuntu, and I seem to be having a display problem. The largest resolution I can select is 1152x864. Before I reinstalled i ran at either 1280x960 or 1400x1050. How can i force a resolution, or add another resolution to my choices under "Display" in System Settings? [00:58] Makuseru, what video card? what kind of monitor? [00:59] dr_willis: ATI Radeon 7200 (i think), Monitor Dell E772p. [00:59] You did install the fglrx drivers? On many of my systems - i cant use all reh res's untill i get either nvidia or fglrx setup first [01:00] My card is too old for that, [01:01] for the fglrx? Then you are using the 'ati' drivers? [01:01] I'm not sure what drivers it's using, Xorg just says "Configured Video Device" [01:03] Its possible its using the vesa driver. instead of the ati driver.. Id be suprised if it couldent use fglrx also.. but ive not used any ati card since i got rid of my last one 2 years ago. === Taladan_ is now known as Taladan [01:03] You may want to check the forums If they are up. for that Exact video card and whats reccomdnede to use [01:04] dr_willis: I rememeber trying to get fglrx to work when i was into Beryl(Compiz) and finding out that my card is too old to use it. But how would i go about installing the ati driver? [01:04] That hardware manager tool normally. [01:04] !find jockey [01:04] Found: jockey-common, jockey-gtk, jockey-kde [01:04] sudo jockey-kde [01:04] :) [01:05] I dont see where i can install from there. [01:05] it should show all drivers/hardware that it knows about.. [01:05] could be its not able to use fglrx - [01:06] It didnt display anything in it. [01:08] does anyone know witch plugin or file i need to download from the package manager for my ipod so i can manage my songs throug amarok [01:09] anyone know how to give just ONE user Read Only rights to an ext3 volume? [01:10] DrX: whole disk encryption [01:11] DrX, what do you want other users to be able to do? [01:17] hi all. [01:17] dr_willis or p_quarles do any of you happen to know how to get my ipod to share info with my amarok or what i have to configure to make it work or if there is a program i have to download that specifically does that only [01:17] is there some way to boost volume in Kubuntu, my sound is not as loud as in Windows, it is bearly audible, have tried adjusting volume, it is currently on max [01:18] Ive never had an Ipod. and i rarely use amarok. so No idea szrhawaii [01:19] never mind managed to adjust it ....thx anyways [01:19] try that alsa-mixer techbw it could be your volume controlls re not controlling the right mixer. [01:19] ;) [01:19] lol [01:19] thanks anyways [01:19] your mixer should do the trick [01:19] exactly what i did...opened also and saw that the bottom of the window there is a control similar to windows master volume control, for peaks, and changed that [01:20] did it not work [01:21] if you click the sound icon on your icon try than mixer then you should have a window open to adjust all the different mixers did you do that part or the first part [01:22] ive noticed that in some cases that console alsa-mixer tool has more 'sliders' to play with :) [01:22] yep it does but you can add those to the mixer also [01:23] well i got my music from my ipod but how do i put music on it now [01:23] hmmm [01:27] how can i set vlc media player to automatically open when clicking on a movie file [01:28] movie files keep wanting to open with kaffeine and it does not have the codecs to play them, but the play in vlc [01:28] codecs are built into vlc [01:29] I forget were kde4 even keeps its file-extension defaults.. :) but its in that area some where techbw [01:30] dr_willis: anything they want EXCEPT create folders in the root of /volume/sharedir [01:30] you can always just get rid of kaffiene if you have vlc [01:30] DrX, mke a sub directroery for the user.. give then ownership of the directrory.. they then can do whatever they want in there. [01:30] yeah...just remove it...although it is downloading the codecs now..so hopfully it too will be able to open the files [01:31] why would you need kaffiene and vlc anyways [01:31] dr_willis: no, i need a backup user that has RO access to the entire ext3 volume [01:31] they are both video players [01:32] szrhawaii: some videos play better in one than the other [01:32] i prefer mplayer but vlc is better than kaffiene [01:32] DrX, i belive thats what groups are for.. but ive rarely had to mess with the owner/user/world permissions and groups. [01:32] dr_willis: i read an article and i'm thinking of creating two groups, e.g., all and backup and then create a user backupop and add it to the backupgrp and then add all other users to the all group and lastly setfacl -d -m group:allgrp:rw /sharedir and setfacl -d -m group:backupgrp:r and maybe do a chown .all /volume/share [01:33] and if he has kaffiene he must have kde 3.5 not kde4 because the default for the kde4 is dragonplayer [01:33] dr_willis: perhaps this warrants testing on a non-live system before rolling out to a production server... [01:34] DrX, always a good idea. it proberly can be done with th eexisting permission system. theres also the Other enhanced securiity permission systems.. but ive rarely ever used those. [01:39] I hate manpages so much [01:49] Hi, I just tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to fix my resolution. And it was going normal untill it to the keyboard/mouse part. After that it just exited and closed. Does anyone know why this would close before i got to the part where i could select resolutions? [01:50] I was thinking that method of reconfiguring X was a bit out of date. [01:51] Im not using the latest version of Kubuntu though. [01:51] Im on 8.04. [01:51] And that's always worked before when i couldnt force the res i wanted. [01:51] i was thinking its been out of date since 8.04 :) but perhaps not [01:51] Makuseru http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:51] this i believe will help you bro [01:51] if you done with 8.10 [01:51] I normally just isntall the nvidia drivers and the res's get 'fixed' [01:51] NGL-TwYsTeD: I have no intent to upgrade [01:51] 8.04 im sorry [01:51] Makuseru ok apologies just trying to help :) [01:52] <3 [01:52] Tried it yesterday, and it broke my computer. =( [01:52] dr_willis: they phased that out in hardy, much to everyones disappointment [01:53] every time they make any progress 1/2 the peopel complain they want it the old way... :) [01:53] Now people get mad the xorg.conf files are so minimal [01:54] dr_willis: true, I dont get why its getting like that, just seems all these ex-windows users are terrfied of text files [01:54] Makuseru: what video card do you have? [01:55] ATI Radeon 7200. [01:55] !ati | Makuseru [01:55] Makuseru: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:55] Makuseru: you read that? [01:55] I cant use the latest drivers. [01:55] My card is too old. [01:56] let me check [01:56] its an ok card [01:57] Its a crap card. [01:57] It's from like 1999. [01:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=116730 [01:57] If i could get dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to work I could fix this, but i dont know whats wrong with it. [01:57] still not a bad card, better than some other cards. I have a system with an nvidia tnt2 ultra 32mb [01:58] Makuseru: theres an xorg.conf there, looks like yuor 7200 uses the ati driver [01:58] 'text files are scary! we want the sytem regiestry that just sort of Looks like a Directroy structure with text files!' [01:58] Makuseru: hack most of that xorg.conf out into your own and restart xserver, yiou'll be reet [01:58] Alright, ill give it a try. [01:58] boot a live cd.. copy its xorg.conf over. :) [01:58] anyone ever get kmailcvt to import from a network folder? [01:59] dr_willis: thats the vibe i got when i tried 8.10, was that it was just trying to hard, trying to be to trendy and such. for the windows or mac user [02:01] Makuseru: i acked off being trendy for slick and smooth with fluxbox [02:02] ActionParsnip: I just love KDE3, no display manage has come close to it, imo. [02:03] Makuseru: i use kde, just not kwin [02:03] Makuseru: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/desktop.jpg?t=1232071407 [02:06] Updated xorg, trying to restart now.

[02:17] Makuseru: then yuo need different options [02:18] Do you have any ideas why dpkg-reconfig would stop working? === marius is now known as Guest39860 === anthony is now known as Guest69943 [02:37] Makuseru: they took that thing out for some reason [02:43] Anybody know a good netnewswire solution for linux? [02:45] Google gave up 0. [02:46] * dr_willis dsent even knwo what a newnewswire solution is [02:47] Hehe.. Rss reader with sync, Lets me read it on my laptop, or on the web, or on my phone. [02:48] There is something called akregator-newsgator in launchpad but there is absolutely no info on it. [02:53] * kniolet <3 akregator [02:54] I'd love to continue using it, but it could really use a few improvements. I've filed bugs and sent emails. I think i'm unloved. [02:57] buckethead: go kick fosterfeld in #akregator sometime then lol === cjcaglejr is now known as boron5 [03:01] hello all. i have removed the main panel from my install and now i cant get it back. is there anyway an terminal command to get it back? [03:02] I have upgraded KDE to the RC and I'm having a few problems... I have 'restore previous session' selected in System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Session Manager, but when logout and login back it always restores a session previuos to the upgrade. [03:02] Anyone noticed the same? [03:03] Also, when I'm logging out I select 'shutdown' and instead of shutting down I got back to KDM. [03:03] is there any way to restore the normal bottom panel on kubunut? [03:04] bryan_: Click the cashew in teh upper right and readd it [03:04] is there a way to find out what particular type of ram the computer has? ddr1 ddr2, sdram, etc? [03:04] without opening it up of course [03:05] look up the mobo online? [03:05] is there a way to change the clock to normal time instead of military time? [03:06] Guest69943: that is the same question i have. i have not been able to change. [03:07] bryan_: LET ME ASK MY FRIEND SEE IF HE KNOWS [03:08] bryan no he is not on [03:10] anyone know why hovering over some pieces in plasma on KDE 4.2 RC1, you may see a checkerboard background? this is perhaps the ugliest visual element I deal with now :( [03:11] no but have the same problem [03:11] when i re add the panel, it adds to the top, how do i move it? [03:11] wow was that fast ... stock install + bootchart + profile boot ... my bootchart is 13 seconds :) [03:12] nice [03:13] peak throughput in the boot sequence was 136MB/s ... got myself a shiny new SSD [03:14] how do i move the panel from the top to the bottom? [03:15] bryan: probably need to click on the shell on the right side of the panel, then you can move it however you wish [03:16] blackwaltz: i have tried that several times. i dont see any option to move it and when i drag it only makes the panel bigger. [03:17] bryan_: there should be two parts to the panel when you click the shell IIRC, the upper one that isn't nomrally present is the one you drag [03:17] blackwaltz: thank you. i just got it :) [03:19] bryan_: you using kde4.1? [03:20] Guest69943: i think so? i am using the standard one [03:20] Guest69943: yes, kde [03:21] bryan_: couse if you booted 8.10 out of the box it doesnt give the option to autohide or move the panel [03:21] Hi [03:21] bryan_: or at least mine doesnt [03:21] oh, i accidently removed it, while trying to change the clock from military time [03:22] When I plug my ipod into the pc, nothing is taking place at all in the syslogs [03:22] as if it doesn't see it. [03:22] Any ideas? [03:22] nashk: do you have program installed that can handle the ipod? [03:22] bryan_ Amarok 2. But the thing is, the system doesn't even notice it. [03:23] wasn't there a way to see what hardware you had installed on your pc? there was a little utility for this. I dont think I have it. anyone know what it is? === blackwaltz is now known as dwidmann [03:23] nashk" how new of an ipod? [03:23] buckethead. Not new, I think 2nd generation ipod nano. 4gb [03:24] worked fine with other kubuntus, but not 8.10 [03:24] Do I need to install any libraries? I know I have libgpod, but anything else? [03:25] how do i get screensavers in 8.10? [03:25] Guest69943: did you find out how to modify the clock? [03:25] Hm. My main thought was that the very new ones are hostile to linux. Past that, I got nothing. [03:26] bryan_: heck no i wish [03:32] bryan_: you there? === anthony is now known as Guest15338 [03:33] Guest15338: yes [03:34] bryan_: go to kmenu system settings regional &language chane time there [03:35] bryan_: once you get there go to time date and change format to am pm then log out and log back in [03:35] Guest15338: ok. thanks [03:36] bryan_: ill be on for while let me know if it works!

Why is it not working === shana_ is now known as sda2222 [04:14] i should ask [04:14] what are the common reasons [04:14] i need help with missing icons on KDE 4.2 rc1 [04:14] since 8.04 I can't install on the old system [04:15] is anybody here going to be helpful [04:15] sda2222: weird couse i have the same specs on my pc and it works well [04:16] sda2222: what exactly is it doing or not doing? [04:16] Hmmm. This is not common. What is the bare minimum that 8.04 should work on? [04:17] chrisrogers: be patient ask your question and wait someone will answer you if they know the answer [04:19] It seems to load up live then make the screen go crazy [04:19] sda2222: You need 128 MB RAM to run the Live CD or 192 MB RAM to install live cd [04:20] Hmm. Ok. [04:20] sda2222: [04:20] This has not increased [04:20] has it? [04:20] there is an alternate install method [04:20] Oh? [04:22] Can you elaborate please? [04:22] sda2222: The Alternate Install CD only requires you to have 64 MB RAM at install time [04:22] nice. [04:23] sda2222: you are talking about xubuntu correct? [04:23] correct [04:23] where do you get this at? [04:23] sda2222: sry drinking some beers right now but there is a channel for xubuntu [04:24] Ok, thanks so much! [04:25] greatly appreciate it! Lay back o the beers. hehe. Night [04:25] sda2222: [04:27] sda2222: google xubuntu then click on get xubuntu then scroll down click on us then scroll to alternate method [04:27] sd or whatever your geogrphical are is [04:43] how do i get the resticted driver aplet in system settings [04:44] my notebook is on 640X480 and i cant change it [04:45] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0844 (rev a2) [04:46] it is a nvidia geforce 9100M G [04:48] nobody? [04:59] hey [04:59] how do i install this: [04:59] http://ieview.mozdev.org/ieview-linux.html [05:00] in simpler terms [05:02] Click on installation and then the XPI file? [05:03] did you view the link ? [05:03] yes, there's some tabs near the top [05:03] install IE View 1.4 ? [05:04] thanks ! [05:04] you are wanting to install it? [05:04] ya i already did [05:04] thanks [05:08] Question: I want to get started setting up some schedule tasks, like kron jobs I think. Is there a KDE tool for doing this? [05:09] !info kcron [05:09] kcron (source: kdeadmin): program scheduler for KDE 4. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 (intrepid), package size 201 kB, installed size 500 kB [05:11] kcron is pretty slick [05:11] i'm repressed [05:13] hmm.. ok I apt-getted it. Any idea where it drops the app or what its command is? [05:13] man kcron gets me some stuff, but kcron does nothing. [05:13] No icon in my menu as far as I can tell either. [05:14] maxmahem: On my kde3 it's in kmenu...system....kcron on kde4 don't know offhand [05:15] start up a terminal and type in kcron [05:15] tried that, bash tells me "command not found" [05:17] anyone experience dolphin becoming more and more laggy (4.1.3)? [05:18] Hmm. [05:18] !info kcron-kde4 [05:18] Package kcron-kde4 does not exist in intrepid [05:18] just double checked, I surely installed it via apt-get. [05:18] turning off desktop effects help [05:18] Any one in here feel like some Math 11 home work =]? [05:19] I found dolphin to be pretty buggy in the 4.2 beta, its improved quite a bit in the RC. [05:19] hmmm [05:19] hey guys my bluetooth control doesn't open...is there a prob with that program?? i am using kubuntu intrepid btw [05:19] whereis kron [05:19] It is funny that there never has been a problem in the last two months (4.1.3) until this past week [05:20] I just tried that mister, in kde 4, only found the manual entry for it [05:20] hmmm [05:20] weird [05:20] there have been a few updates the past few days because it is just so strange that all of a sudden dolphin becomes extremely laggy over time.. [05:21] the problem is not there after rebooting... strange [05:21] there's always crontab -e [05:21] kcron: /usr/share/man/man8/kcron.8.gz is what I get from whereis (and another new usefull command thanks!) [05:21] hmmm, even with desktop effects off, the lag is there [05:22] that's the manual entry for it maxmahem, not the actual thing [05:22] yeah thought as much. [05:22] I can pull the man page and what not up. [05:22] maybe it's capitalized or has some weird thing like k-cron or misspelling [05:22] okay, I can't take this any longer.. goign to update to 4.1.4 [05:23] man seems to indicate is should be 'kcron' [05:23] can anyone help me with the bluettoth application, mine doesn't open at all, how can i solve this?? [05:25] hmm seems It's a bug. Bummer. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-bugs/2008-December/061837.html [05:25] good hunting [05:26] eh slackware 12 in virtualbox has it [05:27] according to my synaptic you need kcron-kde4 [05:28] hello [05:28] Hello [05:28] has anybody used the new kubuntu in an old machine? [05:28] How old are we talking? === ubuntu is now known as afner [05:29] well I am running kubuntu 7.04 in an old P3 [05:29] its runing good [05:29] even though it has 500mhz [05:29] specs man specs [05:29] hmm... apt-get tells me kcron points at kcron-kde4, but its not on my source list. [05:29] I updated RAM and an graphics card [05:30] lets say 256GPU and 786 RAM [05:30] kcron-kde4 looks like it will be replaced by kcron, that's what apt is telling me [05:30] what do you think? [05:31] yeah what eross said. Well fire and a shoot. What am I to do? [05:32] :S [05:32] afner: Well, I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. Big whopping 3-D MMORPGs probably won't work, but I'm sure you'll be able to do a lot with it. [05:32] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [05:33] afner: If Kubuntu proves to need too many resources or too much power, you could always try Xubuntu. [05:33] system requirements^ [05:33] stupid konversation keeps pointing to firefox instead of konquerer [05:34] you can change the setting max, to point to firefox [05:35] maxmahem: Settings...Configure Konversation...Behaviour..General... check off "use custom web browser" then in the text entry field put: firefox '%u' [05:36] Apply... etc [05:36] Actually I want it to point to konquerer, my default browser, which it should be doing already. [05:36] maxmahem: Replace then firefox with konqueror in the example above [05:37] Yeah I know. It kind of bugs me a bit though. I want to like konversation, but for a KDE component I have found its interoperability a bit lacking. [05:39] well.. doesnt say much of the processor [05:39] Hmm, is #xubuntu on a different server than this channel? I keep seeing what looks like net splits on that channel. [05:39] RAM is ok... so I guess I will give it a try live [05:40] I am doenloading intrepid to see how it works [05:41] afner: You might also try PC/OS, it's based off of Xubuntu 8.7x (Hardy), but it's got multimedia extensions Ubuntu won't include. [05:41] afner: And it's supposed to work on older machines. [05:46] so I suppose I got to wait till they fix the package unless I want to get kcron from elseware eh? [05:49] hi there everybody [05:49] maxmahem: Probably :/ You could go to the 4.2 RC1 as in the /topic , it may have it . I don't know that for sure though, as I'm still on kde3 for the moment [05:51] HI [05:51] I'm on the 4.2 RC, so no joy. [05:52] HELLO? [05:52] stacasajac: Hello. [05:52] we can hear, er... see you. [05:52] stacasajac: Yes, we see you. Please, do not use all uppercase [05:54] stacasajac: What is the nature of your kubuntu emergency? [05:56] maxmahem - or just use crontab -e from a terminal [05:56] it's ok to get your hands dirty [05:57] yeah, thats a project for tommorow I guess. [05:57] seems this script for amarok keeps taking it down, and my sound system with it. [05:58] so no NPR morning edition alarm clock just yet. [05:58] any tricks for restarting the sound system after it crashes? [05:58] I suppose I could just restart x. [05:59] having a weird problem, I installed kubuntu 8.10 two days ago and so far all has been fine, but im noticing that none of my usb devices, digital camera, usb sticks etc. are mounting? anyone have a clue why? [06:01] TraceRoute: no idea, do you have that little USB plasmlet running on your bar? [06:04] ok well my usb stick does actually mount, not sure my my camera wouldn't [06:04] but no i don't have the USB plasmlet installed [06:07] hmm well if your usb stick shows up okay in /mnt (or wherever) than I would suspect something is different with your camera. [06:07] Does it use some proprietary software for data transfer? [06:09] I only ask about the plasmlet deal because it gives some nice feedback on when you mount drives. [06:12] I just upgraded from SuSE to kubuntu 8.10. The sound is so low I have to crank the kmix up to max and then hold the speaker up to my ear in order to hear anything. Any ideas? [06:13] check to see that the sound is turned up in alsamixer? [06:14] maxmahem_ no it always mounted fine in gnome im not sure why it don't want to mount [06:15] Bingo! Thanks maxmahem_. Problem solved. [06:18] Hah! I solved a problem! Score one for me! [06:18] !helpersnack | maxmahem_ [06:18] maxmahem_: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [06:18] TraceRoute: Does the camera show up on lsusb when you plug it in? [06:18] :) [06:20] Another question: My keyboard is in international, so characters like ´~¨^ get sucked up to make accents, in X or in console mode. Any idea how to make that go away? [06:20] maxmahem_ ill check in a second, im trying to delete this game off my R4 =/ [06:20] I think you can map your keyboard using xmodmap or somesuch, but thats a bit beyond me. [06:23] xmodmap is only for X Windows. The effect persists even if I alt-cntl-F2 and try it on the console when X isn´t running. I wouldn´t mind if I were French... [06:25] Oh, well. It is bed time now, and I have go go get some SOUND sleep. Yay! Bye. [06:25] maxmahem_ ah stupid me, Well i never had to do this before but when i connected my camera it was trying to connect to PictBridge instead of Mass Storage, but clicking mass storage on the camera did the trick [06:26] anyone know how to activate 3d acceleration? [06:27] aw snap, I think I figured out what sutin needed to do, he should be able to pass his keyboard map to the kernal with loadkeys [06:27] my graphics card isn't installed properly and i don't know what to do [06:27] TraceRoute: Cool deal. [06:27] my graphics card isn't installed properly and i don't know what to do. can anyone help? [06:28] tweak: what version of kubuntu are you running and what graphics card? [06:28] using ubuntu 8.10 [06:28] graphics card? no idea [06:29] when you first boot up if there is a restricted driver for your card you should get a notification in your pannel on your lower right. [06:29] howdy everybody [06:29] anybody here? [06:29] Failing that you can check in system\hardware drivers for it. [06:30] from your menu. [06:30] it says no propriatary drivers installed [06:31] <||arifaX> why is gwenview so slow when opening just 38mbyte file. system is nearly unresponsive then. any ideas? === se7en____ is now known as se7enK [06:32] someone know how i get my wifi working [06:32] tweak, you can try lspci from konsole, one of the entries should tell you your graphics card. [06:32] ||arifaX: I have found gwenview to still be a bit buggy. [06:32] out of curiosity, does anyone have an issue with Kubuntu 8.10 and firefox suddenly closing without any warning [06:33] as if someone had hit kill process on it [06:33] <||arifaX> bdizzle: is there a save replacement. lets say uninstall gwenview and install the other and works like a charm??

[07:32] i'm a little too tipsy to remember all the commands but you should be able to find some trouble shooting info in the forums [07:32] how? [07:32] also what intel chipset do you have? [07:33] just type in glxgears in the terminal [07:33] X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) [07:33] what's the command to chek the name of the card again? -lstl? [07:34] i can't remember ... wine is too strong [07:34] lol [07:34] lmao [07:34] tweak well we verified that it isn't the kwin issue [07:34] so its weird that your intel chipset isn't supported [07:34] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [07:34] brand new mobo? [07:34] lspci [07:34] right [07:35] google support on that [07:35] if its a new mobo you may be just a wee bit early [07:35] lspci support? no it's not brand new [07:35] intel has been refreshing their chipsets faster than distros have kept up in the last oh 12 months or so [07:35] hm [07:35] not brand new? weird, the drivers should be automatic [07:35] you know what? [07:35] it may be in the restriced drivers package then [07:36] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-8-generic [07:36] or whatever the version for your kernel is [07:36] try installing that then restarting x [07:36] then try ing to start up glx gears [07:36] hello [07:37] how do I restart x [07:37] log out and log back in [07:37] k [07:37] lol [07:37] :) [07:38] or maybe he needs the inteli810 package if his mobo is very old [07:38] it's all onboard [07:38] Hey, who's calling who an idiot? [07:38] video, sound, eth0 [07:38] tweak, if the restricted package doesn't work please google yoru chipset and find out what package handles your chipset [07:38] i'm certain there is one in the repos that does [07:38] Okay, perhaps I'm no longer connected here. [07:38] ither the i810 or these restricted onse [07:39] anyway install and restart x and try glx gears [07:39] if they come up its working [07:39] ok.. 1 minute left o nthe install.. [07:40] i hope it's for the right kernal? [07:40] uh [07:40] lol [07:40] dude sorry thought you knew how to do that [07:40] do uname -a [07:40] that will tell you the kernel [07:41] then you need to match the kernel to the restricted modules [07:41] Goodnight everyone :) God bless [07:41] you can search for restricted modules with apt-cache search restricted-modules [07:41] 26279 generic [07:41] or something like that [07:41] i would MAKE SURE it matches yoru kernel number or else you aren't doing anything usefull at all [07:42] I'm doing it again... [07:44] k brb [07:47] inteli810 ?? [07:47] i dont understand the question [07:47] i have a pretty old emachines, with the onboard intel graphics [07:47] you were saying inteli810could be for older mobos.. [07:47] yes it could require that package [07:47] sudo apt-get install inteli810 ? [07:48] do lspci and find out what intel chipset you have [07:48] google it and find out [07:48] lgk: apt-cache search intel [07:48] and see whats all in there i don't remember exactly [07:48] 0:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated GraphicsController (rev 02) [07:48] remember you want to google your chipset first on whatever version of ubuntu you have [07:48] google that ? [07:48] yeah try [07:48] and include your ubuntu version [07:49] usually you can find someone with relavent info [07:49] Intel Corporation 82865G Kubuntu 8.10 [07:49] sounds good [07:49] go for it [07:49] nope glxgears doesn't work :( [07:50] tweal google your intel chipset plus your ubuntu version [07:50] someone must have the same combo and can tell you what version you need [07:50] hi. I have a laptop but i want to use only my VGA external monitor. How can i set xorg.conf for that??? :S [07:50] i'm 99% certain the drivers are in ther epo [07:50] my chipset is the same as lgk lol [07:50] i've never run into intel chipsets that didn't work [07:50] hey [07:51] how do i access xorg.conf ? :D [07:51] sorry nvm [07:51] ill goggle === desti_T2 is now known as desti [07:51] google* [07:51] emacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:51] oh heh sorry [07:51] noobs [07:51] forget emacs [07:52] i know where is xorg.conf.

I'm #kubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:57] NmLinuz: i "THINK" you can use aptitude to uninstall everything that came with the metapackage [07:57] apt just uninstalls the metapackage but leaves all the dps there [07:58] the other method is [07:58] remove the new repo from apt sources and update your apt just to clear out the entries in the database [07:58] then [07:58] you need to find a key kde library or two [07:58] if you uninstall that it will unisntall the rest of kde [07:58] <--- is still stuck stupid intil... [07:59] once you have uninstalled all of kde you can just reinstall kubuntu-desktop and you should be fine [07:59] intel* [07:59] youmight wnat to install another desktop environment during uninstall if you are not comfy with command line so that you can use your desktop while it unisntalls [07:59] try something like e16 maybe ... or i don't know if that works any more [08:00] once done get back into kde session and you are done [08:00] i must have unlucky chipset disease [08:01] tweak there must be somethign on google [08:01] nothign? [08:01] ? nothing useful [08:01] impossible [08:02] ? [08:02] i've never seen an intel chipset not work [08:02] are you sure yours had 3d acceleration? [08:02] maybe It's there but I'm not finding it [08:03] pretty sure yes. it runs googleearth fine in windows xp, just not in linuix [08:03] intersting [08:03] sorry i can't be of more help [08:03] not ur fault [08:03] thank you [08:05] just seems a shame to leave xp installed for one program lmao [08:05] if youdon't solve it today i can maybe help tomorrow [08:05] yeah i'm sure it can be helped for sure [08:05] how do you like linux so far? [08:05] i've been workin on it for hours lol [08:06] Oh I love linux [08:06] Used to use Gentoox on my Xbox [08:06] ahhh, not exactly a noob [08:06] sweet [08:06] :p [08:06] close enough lol [08:07] gentoox was KDE [08:08] i actually got wine running really nice in gentoox lol [08:08] nice [08:08] took forever to compile on a 733mhz xbox though [08:08] haha [08:08] heh [08:08] doable [08:09] i <3 linux [08:09] but hate how i can't get flash to work [08:09] for browsers [08:09] or java applets [08:09] mine work [08:09] but java programs work fine..

[09:40] ok, thanks [09:41] eagles0513875: i think its a setting on the client rather than the server [09:41] question, i'm watching video just fine in regular view, but whenever flashplayer goes fullscreen, the video gets realy slow even though the sounds is fine, its like watching a slideshow. any ideas? [09:41] ActionParsnip: doesnt look like there is any [09:41] eagles0513875: of course there is [09:41] eagles0513875: is it the windows vnc client? [09:41] yes it is [09:41] and what client is it? [09:42] its the vnc viewer free edition from real vnc [09:43] im using krfb on my linux laptop and connecting to it from a windows machine [09:43] eagles0513875: here are the options for realvnc [09:43] http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/vncviewer.html [09:44] do i need it on linux if im using krfb as the vnc server [09:44] its for the client, the server takes the settings that the client is using [09:44] you could also try another client like tightvnc maybe (also free) see if it acts the same [09:45] ok [09:45] I'm sorry, my english is very bad but #kubuntu-es is alone. I have Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3.5. Kernel: 2.6.24-23-generic. I have a very annoy problem with sound. This problem appears when I upgrade kernel from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-21. I did solve the problem with this blog: http://kkubasik.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/sound-problems-in-ubuntu-hardy/ but when I upgrade kernel to 2.6.24-23 this problem appears again and I can't solve it with that. Anyone [09:45] can give me an advice? [09:45] I'm sorry again, my english is really really bad, I can read it, but writing it... well, you saw it ;) [09:46] Tomatejc: are you using hardy or intrepid (lsb_release -a | grep -i code will tell you) [09:47] Ace2016_-: Hardy [09:47] 8.04 [09:47] ok cool [09:47] !sound | Tomatejc [09:47] Tomatejc: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [09:47] Tomatejc: try that and head back if you have no joy [09:48] "Activar el sistema de sonido" (enable the sound system) is ok [09:48] going to link [09:50] ActionParsnip: same issue with tight vnc [09:50] first ok, second ok [09:51] eagles0513875: well now we know its your servers settings [09:51] in Kubuntu is "/lib/modules/" ?

If the older kernel serves you well theres no real need to upgrade [10:02] ActionParsnip: maybe that is the solution, back to 21 [10:02] and then try find some help for your sound card with that kernel. Does Intrepid not work for you? [10:02] ActionParsnip: I don't like KDE 4.1, doesn't work fine with my nVidia FX5200 [10:03] just got on, are you talking about the problem of only one program being able to use sound at a time? [10:03] i seee [10:03] MinusSeven: no, its no sound in a particular hardy kernel [10:03] MinusSeven: no, all Kubuntu [10:03] ok [10:03] I had a problem with only one program at a time being able to use sound [10:03] but works fine in Ubuntu [10:04] hello again. i am not very good at this. i have dled kubuntu-8.10-dvd-i386.iso onto my hd. i have checked it with md 5 and the hash numbers check. when i try to burn it as a dvd no matter if it is nero, infrarecorder or deepburner the finished product is the ubuntu 8.10 cd disk. 4gigs dl but only 780 megs burn. does anyone know what i am doing wrong? [10:04] i am wasting dvds [10:04] Eutychus: did you md5 check the image before burning? [10:05] yes [10:05] what speed did you burn at? [10:05] another thing I found weird was, in the clock settings, I put in an ntp server, and it couldn't contact it [10:05] it burns at about 4-5x [10:05] Eutychus: thats ok, can it go slower? [10:05] i think so. [10:06] Eutychus: are you burning the image with a windows operating system? [10:06] yes [10:06] Eutychus: its not an ubuntu problem [10:06] :( [10:06] Eutychus: its a windows issue, head over to ##windows [10:06] your windows OS is having issues burning an ISOfile [10:07] do i tell them the same thing that i told you? [10:07] Eutychus: its great you md5 checked it though, most people dont then moan when the installer fails [10:08] Eutychus: yes, the 780Mb of 4Gb burned is exactly what they need to know [10:08] thanx actionparsnip... i am changing the window to windows. [10:09] i really like kubuntu btw. [10:09] it doesn't have a self checker like some distros have [10:09] I think eventually kubuntu will have to be bigger than what fits on a cd [10:10] MinusSeven: I thought there was a verify cd on the first boot screen of kubuntu (before going to desktop) [10:10] could be [10:11] what about my problem of putting in an NTP server address in the clock settings, and it says it can't connect to it? [10:11] people need to md5 too, many dont [10:11] I thought it could be a firewall problem, but its outgoing [10:11] MinusSeven: can you telnet to the servers port? [10:11] haven't tried [10:11] MinusSeven: worth a crack [10:11] what if I try and it doesn't work? [10:12] I shouldn't need to enable any incoming ports should I? [10:12] MinusSeven: i dunno if ntp will connect with telnet but its worth a shot [10:12] MinusSeven: well the request for time goes into the ntp [10:12] so i'd imagine so [10:13] i'll go try some things [10:13] be back later [10:13] i know how to md5 check in windows [10:13] how do you md5 check in kde? [10:13] !md5 [10:13] 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 [10:14] ty [10:14] ActionParsnip: well, I can't solve it [10:14] thanks a lot anyway [10:26] reHello. the windows guys say that the iso is inflated. when i checked the iso with winrar their was only 480k of info stored in the iso even though windows sez that the iso is taking up 4 gigs on the hd. i must be doing something wrong or am not smart enough to figure it out. how do i get a dvd of kubuntu?

[10:35] Eutychus: the difference between the two is a single metapackage [10:35] you can probably find a guide to snip out the bits you don't need [10:35] Eutychus: try downloading via ftp / http instead of torrents, it may give you a better image [10:35] you should have been able to just do "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [10:35] k. [10:36] ActionParsnip: that seems wierd, torrents do check the file automatically [10:36] (what's the issue again? ;p) [10:36] Hello [10:36] anyone know if it's possible to enable kde desktop effects in a virtualbox install of kubuntu in windows vista? (uhh.. ya..) [10:37] cortney: no [10:37] compiz won't work either? [10:37] cortney: there is no direct access to the video hardware [10:37] faileas: its burning about 800Mb then stopping, winrar shows the data in the iso as less [10:37] cortney: IIRC at the moment virtualbox dosen't support opengl, which is what both kwin's compositing engine and compiz needs [10:37] checked the md5 sum? [10:38] uhh, it says it supports opengl [10:38] little box "enable opengl support" [10:38] cortney: it uses opengl to wrap dx IIRC [10:38] * Eutychus will try dling from http [10:38] but the guests don't support it [10:38] either that or it was windows only [10:39] *cough* direct rendering: Yes [10:40] cortney: you could always ask in #vbox, maybe they know a thing or 3 [10:40] its been a while since i used it [10:40] this could be really cool ;) [10:40] *but* i'm quite sure its in the manual that it dosen't work [10:40] cortney: or just try it, see what you get [10:40] cortney: you can always uninstall it [10:40] (i was running it on a windows box. bloody thing kept crashing, well more than usual) [10:41] already going to, after I update to rc4.2... this isn't my comp.. i'm setting it up obviously for some numbskull girl ;) [10:41] cortney: i doubt they'll need compiz as a new user [10:41] cortney: but its you setting it up, go crazy [10:42] only takes a couple minutes to setup anyway.. [10:42] cortney: i hope it isn't the one mentioned on slashdot ;p [10:42] ? what one mentioned on /. [10:42] lol [10:43] she bought a dell with ubuntu... and dropped out of school cause of that ;p [10:43] (cause she's too dumb to use OOo or call tech support ;p) [10:43] haha.. that's retarded.. [10:43] lettme grab the link. its periphrally on topic anyway ;p [10:43] I already messed it up once trying to enabled desktop effects in kde after live install without updates, resulted in a black screen... === cuznt is now known as Forrest_G [10:43] retarded is as retarded does [10:44] thank ubuntu for recovery consoles... === Forrest_G is now known as cuznt [10:44] http://www.wkowtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9667184 [10:44] lol [10:44] faileas: it's not on topic [10:45] ikonia: my bad then [10:45] hi! It's not possible to compile plasmoids with the 4.1.96 packages. Is there an ETA when will this be fixed? [10:46] I can confirm that [10:47] can't compile plasmoids in 4.1.96 [10:48] faileas: its offtopic but funny [10:48] I need at least 3 non-bundled plasmoids to feel at home on kde 4.2! I'll have a seisure atack if they don't come soon :-) [10:48] whats a non bundled plasmoid. [10:48] try using stable product versions ? [10:48] i know what a plasmoid is [10:49] and I personally use two ruby ones... which doesn't work in rc1 but was fixed a couple days after it was released... [10:49] ikonia: let's not get into kde 4.1 discussions, they're not worthy [10:49] I'm not - I'm saying if you want stuff to work, use the stable versions [10:49] complaining that development releases won't work won't get you very far [10:49] or svn if you have the space [10:49] cortney: non-bundled = stuff I need to compile [10:50] man so much i need to learn [10:50] they dont make brain sponges anymore do they? [10:50] I know afd_.. I'm trying to convert a ruby plasmoid to c++, but I can't get it to compile using the examples and other cmakelist files from others in playground [10:50] ikonia: it is my duty as a user to complain. Don't you work in IT? [10:50] afd_: don't be silly please [10:50] cmake fails saying the cmake compiler isn't set... amongst other errors.. [10:51] im just happy my card games were fixed [10:51] ikonia: I'm just joking, don't take it too harsh. I'm a developer as well, so I know what it's like. I had a discussion yesterday on this channel and somebody said the updates are coming really soon now [10:53] and saying "you have the source code, fix it" is not a solution. I don't have a year to learn how to fix a bug. I know exactly how much knowledge a developer needs to get things done, and I really appreciate that [10:53] afd_: so why are you asking when it will be fixed ? [10:53] personally I'm used to building autoconf packages not cmake ones so it's new to me.. [10:53] ikonia: because I'm like a kid on christmas :) [10:54] there are some goodies but I can't get them [10:54] afd_ how does it fail for you? [10:54] cmake errors? [10:54] afd_: what do you expect the channel to do ? - speak to the developer/package maintainer [10:55] yesterday somebody on this channel told me the packages were compiling and they'll come soon. I came here today to ask when will they be finished [10:55] afd_: speak to the package maintainer [10:55] cortney: something about a plasma cmake file from the system being changed [10:56] ikonia: I'll not go that far, I thought somebody on the channel knew... sorry to be a pain the ass [10:57] hmm afd_, mind if I ask, how'd you install the dev tools for plasmoids? (one at a time or some virtual package?) [10:59] cortney: I'm not developing plasmoids, I'm trying to compile some from kde-look.org [10:59] I've had them compiled with the previous kde 4.2 beta, and when I upgraded plasma would breka [10:59] break [11:00] I've erased my ~/.kde folder and now I have a new profile, but I can't compile them [11:01] http://dpaste.com/109753/ [11:01] this is the error I get [11:03] I don't exactly remember which package you need to compile plasmoids... something like kdeworkspace-dev, I think [11:03] and cmake [11:03] and the rest of -dev packages [11:05] oh afd_ that's a problem with the package [11:05] afd_ edit the CMakeLists.txt file, remove that line [11:06] cortney: no, not true [11:06] the error explains it kind of, there is plasma is now part of kdelibs [11:06] that is...* [11:06] look at line 9 [11:07] yeah findPlasma is now depricated [11:07] and the cmakefile uses it because it hasn't been updated [11:07] exactly my problem :) that cmake file needs to be updated [11:07] but it's a system file, it's not a part of the plasmoid [11:07] you can do it, it's fairly easy, it's not learning a whole new language [11:08] read the error, it provides instructions [11:08] remove that line, scan it for any ocurrences of those varibles and change them where applicable, then retry [11:08] I'm not worried about a new language, I'm worried about the libraries that come with it :) [11:09] ok, let me try [11:09] if you say it will be easy [11:09] it'll take 2 minutes tops [11:20] cortney: sorry, I can't fix it. The FindPlasma.cmake file just raises the error and says that file is not needed anymore. I've changed the CMakeLists.txt file from the plasmoid source to delete the find_package(Plasma REQUIRED) line and I still get the error [11:21] sorry, user fault [11:21] there was another CMakeLists.txt file, in the applet root [11:21] :) [11:23] so it works now ? ;) [11:23] no... now the build fails... probably the library is not defined [11:23] I'm gonna read the FindPlasma.cmake again to figure out what I need to include in that make file [11:23] Plasma should be part of kdelibs... [11:23] might want to ask in #plasma-devel or something [11:24] it doesn't find some header file, probably the location was not included [11:24] or the header file has changed location [11:24] In file included from /tmp/adjustableclock_0.9/applet/plasma-adjustableclock.cpp:21: [11:24] /tmp/adjustableclock_0.9/applet/plasma-adjustableclock.h:36:40: error: libplasmaclock/clockapplet.h: No such file or directory [11:24] again, #plasma-devel or #plasma, they may be able to give you a hint [11:25] ok, thanks [11:25] brb, booting 4.2rc1 [11:28] hi everyone [11:29] does anyone know if the intrepid packages for KDE 4.2rc1 have finished building yet?

[19:37] how do i theme and stuff? [19:38] heres the specific error im getting [19:38] compiz-kde: [19:38] Depends: libplasma2 but it is not going to be installed [19:39] hi, do you really need compiz? kwin provides some compositing effects too (simply right click on some window decoration and go to settings) [19:40] well.. i just tried that and i don thave a settings option [19:40] i like for example the desktop cube [19:40] Jason_CO: Go to "System Settings" -> Desktop [19:41] Jason_CO: I'm currently still running 3.5.10 so not much help on this specific issue. You could try asking in #compiz-fusion channel [19:41] Jason_CO: u can configure kwin's effects there (with KDE 4.2 it also has a cube effect) [19:41] ok [19:41] thanks -- im looking at it there [19:42] I have a question on my own: I am experiencing some issue with plasma having installed the 4.2 RC 1 packages from ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental. I cannot add plasmoids to the desktop. The respective widget just hangs. Should I report this problem, and if yes, where? [19:43] dominik_g: any plasmoid or a specific one? [19:43] domini_g: i have no problem adding for example an analagous clock to the desktop [19:44] Well, I tried a bunch. It hanged with all of them.

[19:45] Can someone recommend me a graphical ftp client for kde4? kftpgrabber is buggy (crashes after processing multiple uploads) [19:45] I just tried the analagous clock: same problem.

Thanks for your help!

[20:02] Can someone recommend me a graphical ftp client for kde4? kftpgrabber is buggy (crashes after processing multiple uploads) [20:02] yes - -im using kde4.2 beta 2 [20:02] dominik_g: recomend filezilla [20:03] works great [20:03] we have two dominik/que... :) [20:04] how do you mount .iso files [20:04] oops -- sorry [20:04] Gentlemen.. I have an issue with my sound card. I have both onboard sound and a 5.1 Soundblaster. It would seem that my Kubuntu has picked up both the onboard and the 5.1 but defaults to using the onboard sound. How might i default to using the 5.1 instead? [20:04] what program do is there for mounting .iso files [20:04] dominique: recommend filezilla [20:04] Haza: disable the onboard in the BIOS? [20:04] 's probably the most effective way [20:05] Jason_CO: Thank you :) [20:05] SlimeyPete: Not a bad idea and i had already actually thought of that but can you believe if i do then the system goes nuts (I think the motherboard may be a little cheesed) [20:06] Haza: I had the same problem. this is how to set default soundcard: first find the name of the card you want as default with: cat /proc/asound/modules [20:06] Is there a program like Daemon Tools, or Alcohol 120% for mounting .ISO files on kubuntu nightly ???? [20:06] Just to be sure.... im guessing im right in thinking my OS picked up my 5.1 if i look at KMix and can choose from two cards on the pulldown [20:06] One being my 5.1 PCI card [20:06] zac_: "sudo mount -o loop .iso /mnt" [20:06] mefisto__: Im listening [20:07] yeah, sounds about right [20:07] then edit alsa-base: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [20:08] mefisto__: Right, checking it out now [20:08] urmel291: do i have to put home/zac/desktop/filename ? [20:08] at the end of that file, add "options snd- index=0" [20:08] zac_: if the iso image is on your desktop yes: /home/zac/Desktop/filename [20:08] Haza: index=0 will be the default soundcard [20:09] urmel291: it is on my desktop, but idk the exact file name of it, is there anyways for me to get the exact name ??? [20:10] zac_: use "ls /home/zac/Desktop" (if that's the right directory) to see which files are on ur desktop [20:11] when i download a package with "sudo aptitude download **************" where is it saved? [20:11] raidenovich: the current directory. [20:11] zac_: i guess filename is the label of the icon though [20:11] ah, nice [20:11] thanks Pici === dominique is now known as dominique_workin [20:12] mefisto__: Just to doublecheck before i commit the changes to the file.... [20:12] urmel291: [20:12] zac@Black-feet:~$ ls /home/zac/Desktop [20:12] poweriso-1.3.tar.gz W7.iso [20:12] you said snd- [20:12] my sound card is called..... "snd_emu10k1" [20:12] i want to mount the W7.iso file [20:13] how do i get a list of the channels [20:13] zac_: so the filename is W7.iso, use "sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/W7.iso /mnt" to mount it into /mnt [20:13] Im guessing i want to replace that one line above so it looks like..... options snd_emu10k1 index=0 [20:14] Haza: ok so make it "options snd_emu10k1 index=0" (without the quotes) [20:14] mefisto__: Just making sure mate ;) [20:14] it says its mounted [20:14] zac_: Actually you'll need likely: sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop isoname.iso /mountpoint [20:14] now where do i go to view the .iso file ? [20:14] Haza: and you can add the other soundcard too if you like, make it index=1 [20:15] mefisto__: Well the onboard sound card works. but its just basic and i have this PCI 5.1 just sitting there doing nothing and lovely 5.1 speakers to go with it :) [20:15] mefisto__: So im guessing i need to restart my sound process or something [20:15] genii: don't think it's necessary anymore [20:15] !iso [20:15] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:15] zac_: The iso contents will be listed in the dir /mnt if it was the command you executed just earlier from urmel291 [20:16] Haza: correct. what you've done determines the order the modules will load on boot [20:16] And thats what decided the default eh? [20:16] urmel291: Ah, nice. [20:17] mefisto__: So... last (hopefully) question... What is the command to restart my sound system without rebooting the whole machine? [20:18] Haza: there's also the asoundconf command, but the alsa-base edit works always and is fully permanent (see "asoundconf --help") [20:19] Haza: I don't think restarting the sound system will do it. the modules need to be reloaded, like on boot up [20:19] Haza: but you can try [20:20] mefisto__: sudo ./alsa-utils restart <--- look good? [20:20] in the /etc/init.d/ dir [20:21] ok -- im back from talking to the compiz-fusion people -- they say that somehow (unknown how) libplasma3 has somehow gotten installed on my system inplace of libplasma 2 -- apparently libplasma3 is part of jaunty -- not intrepid -- ive followed the instructions on the kubuntu website for installing kde4.2beta2 -- (add the ppa etc) now what do i do? [20:22] Haza: I don't have alsa-utils on my system. I can do "sudo alsa reload" or "sudo alsa force-reload" if something has stopped the audio and won't release it [20:22] is it normal that when i download a .deb file and want to give it to another computer with an usb stick that the second computer cant see the debian file? [20:22] mefisto__: Well i tried the above command i said and got.. [20:22] * Shutting down ALSA... [ OK ] * Setting up ALSA... [ OK ] [20:23] when is kde 4.2 scheduled [20:23] Then i checked KMix and indeed the 5.1 was the defaul in the pull down [20:23] But it looks like sound still comes from the onboard [20:23] So i'll go with the system restart [20:24] Haza: and what about cat /proc/asound/modules ? does the right one have a 0 ? [20:24] sahil_: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Schedules/KDE4/4.2_Release_Schedule [20:24] Jason_CO: do u have libplasma2.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives ? [20:25] raidenovich: no, that's not normal [20:25] urmel291: no [20:26] Jason_CO: have u tried "sudo apt-get install libplasma"? [20:26] Jason_CO: libplasma2, sorry [20:26] mefisto__: Nope [20:26] Its still at 1 [20:27] So a reboot [20:27] ? [20:27] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [20:27] libplasma2: Depends: kdebase-workspace-libs4+5 but it is not going to be installed [20:27] Depends: kdebase-workspace-data (= 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1) but 4:4.1.96-0ubuntu2~intrepid1~ppa1 is to be installed [20:27] Haza: I'm sure there's a way to unload/reload the modules rather than just restart them, but I don't know how, other than reboot [20:27] urmel291: theres a bunch more explaination that i can pastebin if u want me to [20:27] Jason_CO: right, i see the problem [20:27] mefisto__: No worries mate. Ive just gone and shutdown all my apps / servers anyhow [20:27] urmel291: excellent [20:27] So, i'll give it a try [20:28] brb! o/ [20:28] Jason_CO: Wait a sec [20:28] urmel291: no worries -- relaxin in my easychair === DS-Away is now known as DarkSmoke [20:31] Jason_CO: KDE 4.2 needs libplasma3, it is in the PPA from where u got KDE 4.2 [20:32] libplasma3 is installed - its not allowing compiz-kde to install cuz thats demanding libplasma2 [20:32] Jason_CO: yes, since compiz-kde is not compiled for KDE 4.2 [20:32] is ubuntu still gnome fixed or will they more and more better support kde? [20:32] Jason_CO: i don't see an easy solution to ur problem [20:33] for some odd reason compiz and kde4.2 work great on my laptop at work -- just cant get it to work here [20:33] is compiz-kde required to make compiz run on kde? [20:33] or do i have a diff issue there? [20:34] Jason_CO: yes, it is required as far as i know [20:34] ugh [20:34] <_mr_S> compiz can be started from the cli. check if you can start compiz this way. === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu_ === ubuntu_ is now known as ubuntu__ [20:36] working on it [20:38] mefisto__: Ping [20:38] <_mr_S> oooops wrong channel [20:38] Haza: how did it go? [20:38] mefisto__: well... :) [20:38] If i do... cat /proc/asound/modules [20:38] I only have one sounds card now [20:38] The onboard one [20:39] this is confirmed by the lack of drop down in the KMix window [20:39] Haza: so the onboard one didn't load at all? I have both mine in that alsa-base file, the second one is index=1 [20:40] mefisto__: The onboard one did load but the PCI one did not [20:41] Haza: so the wrong one is loaded [20:41] the cat /proc/asound/modules yields.... 0 snd_hda_intel [20:41] and the PCIAnd the line i added was....... options snd_emu10k1 index=0 [20:41] -and the PCI < forget that [20:43] if you like i can always pastebin the alsa-base file? [20:43] Haza: sure [20:44] mefisto__: Two seconds [20:44] Haza: maybe you should add both cards index=0 for default, index=1 for the onboard sound [20:44] mefisto__: I was thinking the same thing [20:45] hi [20:45] mefisto__: http://pastebin.com/d41c76ac4 [20:46] So ill just add options snd_hda_intel index=1 at line 41? [20:46] I'm not sure if this is kubunut related, but in my firefox, the I move the cursor, the page also moves with it as if I'm hodling downt he bar to the right. It's very annoying and it seems like the devs though it's a UI enhancement. Any idea how I can disable it his? [20:46] heres what happens when i try to start compiz from terminal (via fusion icon) [20:46] http://pastebin.ca/1310330 [20:47] Haza: yep [20:49] <_mr_S> from the file you have pasted, it seems to be an issue with GLX extension. Hav eyou configuerd your xorg.conf for compiz ? [20:49] not that im aware of -- how would i do this? [20:50] mefisto__: Okay mate. Sounds good (no pun intended). I'll add the line and restart [20:50] <_mr_S> which card tyoe are you using nvidia or ati ? [20:50] And grab a beer while im at it! :D [20:50] brb [20:50] something tells me Haza is australian [20:50] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [20:51] <_mr_S> this is an intel card ( laptop or mainboard ) [20:51] motherboard [20:52] <_mr_S> let me check something [20:52] ok - thanks for your help [20:52] so 865 [20:52] ??

[21:00] Haza: great [21:00] I have both cards again and the default is the 5.1 [21:01] mefisto__: You're a star mate! I owe you a beer if you ever happen to pass through Edinburgh ;) [21:01] Haza: I suppose that means if you add more soundcards, you'd have to add them to alsa-base, or remove them all. otherwise the modules won't load [21:02] Oh thats okay. Since i work in open source im pretty used to manually setting things :D [21:02] Haza: I was guessing you were in australia, from the "mate" and the beer :) [21:02] And usually in XML =/ [21:02] * Haza is an Englishman living in Scotland ;) [21:04] mefisto__: Anyway, Thanks again.

The default is "/dev/cdrom". What do I do? My CD-ROM is SATA and it's very new (fresh PC build). [23:10] Stalker72: i dont think you can write to /dev/cdrom without a cd burning app [23:11] my livecd of ubuntu 8.10 won't even boot on my machine [23:11] ActionParsnip: I don't have an OS on the PC right now.

[23:16] Stalker72: yep [23:16] I'm using the comp now [23:16] Are you inside Kubuntu? [23:16] well, I originally installed kubuntu [23:16] Stalker72 , could be your hardware .Is your pc really new or really old ? [23:17] BluesKaj: I just built it. [23:17] I'm using gnome now, cause i like compiz better [23:17] Do you want the specs? [23:17] ahhh, a hal prob I bet [23:17] Stalker72: i'd try different boot options and / or disable unnecessary hrdware in bios [23:17] Stalker72: does the motherboard have a driver update maybe? [23:18] Stalker72: I mean bios update [23:18] is it possible to specify a resolution to kubuntu (live cd) with grub? [23:18] I get scrambled video :( [23:18] compiz runs on kubuntu as well , FisherPrice [23:18] mefisto__: Maybe, but how can I install it anyways? I'm pretty new to the Linux world. :P [23:18] ActionParsnip: I've disabled floppy.

[23:19] BluesKaj: No [23:19] ActionParsnip: I'll give it a try [23:20] guys how do i change my resolution [23:20] ? [23:20] BluesKaj: unless it's changed since 8.04 [23:20] errr, freaky.... I switched virt terminal & back to X, now it works...... [23:20] i haven't tried compiz on kde since feisty [23:20] no, since gutsy [23:20] BluesKaj: Is Kubuntu compatible with all the latest hardware? [23:21] Stalker72: if you have drivers then it's compatible.. i don't think it's related [23:21] FisherPrice: Drivers for Windows you mean? [23:22] FisherPrice: The MB and GPU (etc.) always comes with driver CDs. [23:22] Stalker72: no, as in if you can use OpenGL in linux then compiz will work [23:23] i don't think you can get compiz for windows [23:23] You talked about drivers. What kind of drivers do you mean? The ones that come in the boxes or Linux drivers? [23:24] linux drivers [23:24] Aren't they loaded automatically (except GPU drivers)? [23:25] Stalker72: normally the GPU drivers have to be loaded specially, what 3d video card to you have?

[23:28] well, have you tried pressing F4 to get extra options? [23:28] I've tried booting in "Safe Graphics Mode" [23:28] normally it works [23:28] I'm going to try it again later [23:29] When should I press F4? [23:29] when the CD boots up, and you get options like "Boot Ubuntu to try it", "Install Ubuntu", "Memory test" etc [23:30] the wording is a little different, but hopefully you get the gist [23:30] before I get the options, or after? [23:30] those are the options [23:30] yeah, but should I press F4 at that screen? [23:31] yes [23:31] ok, let me try, brb [23:31] wait [23:31] ok [23:31] select the "safe Graphics" enter/escape out of that list, then press enter again [23:31] that should start the boot process [23:32] if you want to install it, make sure you select "instal ubuntu" before you press F4 [23:32] can I boot without Kubuntu being installed? [23:32] have you got that [23:32] yes, that's the first option [23:32] live thingy? [23:32] yes [23:33] you can safely select "Install Ubuntu" === BadThing is now known as Zavulon [23:33] after that it starts loading [23:33] then i get the same black screen [23:33] it doesn't get to the inst. process [23:33] bacause once you are in, you have to manually select "install ubuntu" [23:33] yeah, that black screen might have something to do with the graphics [23:34] in safe mode it should get around that issue [23:34] try it either way [23:34] so I press escape when it's booting? [23:34] if you boot it up to just use it then next time try the install [23:34] no [23:34] ooh ok [23:34] so I try to install from the live session? [23:35] it's live no matter what [23:35] do you want me to try to access the live session first? [23:35] it's sorta hard to explain.. the top option doesn't have the instal option [23:35] the install ubuntu does [23:35] that's about it [23:36] yeah, just try it... but try the "safe Graphics" mode [23:36] before, I was able to click Install Now from within the live session [23:36] ok, so I tap Esc all the time when loading? [23:36] and for the record, I'm not on the ubuntu support team [23:36] hrm, let me try on the other computer... it loaded OK [23:37] ok, sec, I'll try [23:37] burn it to a dvd instead of a cd [23:39] that was the only way i could get ubuntu to install [23:40] dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed. [23:40] Aborted [23:40] OK, I was wrong, ubuntu have changed things a little... [23:41] you can cancel the install and get to the livecd [23:41] Anyone help out as to what I can do about this error? [23:41] i couldnt install ubuntu after burning to cd's............ burnt to dvd and had no problems [23:42] I don't think I have a DVD. [23:42] use unetbootin to install from usb flash drive [23:42] FisherPrice, I pressed F4, pressed Enter on Safe graphics mode. Nothing happened. [23:42] did you press twice ? [23:42] no [23:42] try that [23:43] ok [23:43] sec [23:43] c0debr8ker: when you say you couldn't install, do you mean the livecd wouldn't boot? [23:43] it would boot but wouldnt never setup at all ..........would just hang up [23:44] c0debr8ker: keh, i don't understand... you burnt the cd image to a DVD? [23:44] yep [23:44] Stalker72: you could boot from minimal iso (10mb) and only download the packages you want to install rather than the full system [23:44] Safe graphics mode retrieved the same black screen.

[23:46] !minimal | Stalker72 [23:46] Stalker72: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).
