| Goan | Hello. Is there a way in Kubuntu that I keep on working on a local file and once I save my file locally, some sort of software syncs that version of the file on a remote host - that I can ssh to | 00:32 |
| faileas | Goan: rsync and something to run it every so often | 00:34 |
| faileas | possibly dropbox might work, but on kubuntu you're stuck with the cli interface i think | 00:34 |
| Goan | It is a pain to keep scp'ing the saved file to the remote host, once after making changes locally | 00:35 |
| faileas | hmm, or unison? | 00:36 |
| faileas | http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ (there's a package too but good to read to see if its what you need) | 00:37 |

| Goan | will try it tonight | 00:44 |
| faileas | nope | 00:45 |
| faileas | i run an r61. only issue i have at the moment is everything not linux hating my ext3 partition ;) | 00:45 |

| lunar-raven | I'm having trouble compiling my video card driver. It is integrated video..some sort of intel. I got the right driver for it..but when I try, I get the error "The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules. Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on what went wrong." | 01:06 |
| lunar-raven | any idea what is wrong and how to fix it? | 01:06 |
| lunar-raven | :P | 01:06 |
| lunar-raven | I'm assuming I need to install some sort of kernel module first..but im not sure what | 01:07 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | ActionParsnip: Yes, they do | 01:07 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | But the mute function does nothing | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Blitzz|Kubuntu: are you using pulse or alsa? | 01:07 |
| * n00bi3 was waken up by the frosty cold weather | 01:08 | |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | I have KDE set using OSS. I honestly don't even know which sound system is being used now. It might be using ALSA. :S | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | 01:08 |
| ubottu | 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 | 01:08 |

| * n00bi3 has a real cool dream about giant b00bs! | 01:08 | |
| bazhang | n00bi3, not here | 01:11 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | ActionParsnip: Where do I look? | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Blitzz|Kubuntu: its in the sound settings in systemsettings | 01:12 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | Yeah, I've been there, I just didn't know if it actually had any effect | 01:13 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | It's set on OSS | 01:13 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | It also seems that some programs have noticeable sound lag, while others don't | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Blitzz|Kubuntu: creative support is very limited, even in windows | 01:15 |
| Blitzz|Kubuntu | Latency was fine in Windows... | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Blitzz|Kubuntu: i dont know what to advise. I flat out avoid them as the support sucks hard | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Blitzz|Kubuntu: try again later, diferent users in the channel etc | 01:19 |
| faileas | hmm. If i kept my home directory synchronised between two systems, would it keep track of what i've read on akrigator, and my firefox history? | 01:21 |
| alipio | hi there... when I try to configure samba share through dolphin nothing happens | 01:21 |
| alipio | when I try to run kdesudo kcmshell4 fileshare I get | 01:21 |

| alipio | Can anybody help me? | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | faileas: just share your home directory and smbmount it to use it on the 2 systems. I'd imagine if you did use sync then the settings would fly over too including history etc | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | alipio: i can show you how to configure samba using smb.conf, its ridiculously easy | 01:23 |
| faileas | ActionParsnip: naw, its for backing up. i MIGHT need to temporarily wipe my linux partition | 01:23 |
| jammen33 | alipio: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 01:23 |
| alipio | I know.. but I'd want to learn my brother to configure that through GUI | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | alipio: i only know the file, I can send you mine to inspect if you like | 01:24 |
| faileas | ActionParsnip: the plan is to use unison to test it. if it works, its cool but i can't be bothered to test something that dosen't work right at this moment | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | faileas: sounds like a project | 01:25 |
| faileas | ActionParsnip: actually no. getting a decent backup of my laptop is. ;p | 01:26 |
| alipio | ActionParsnip: It's not necessary... but thanks.. I'm going to configure the file for him... but I'd want to know if there is a bug in kubuntu kdenetwork-fileshare package or something like that... | 01:26 |

| faileas | ActionParsnip: not as fun ;p | 01:28 |

| Goan | If I start updating from hardy to intrepid, could I loose my data during the process .. in case lets say, there is an error or something during installation | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Goan: shouldnt be, if you want, run your backup just before the update but it is very much a safe process imho | 01:38 |
| Goan | Is there a backup utility that I can use? | 01:38 |
| TweakedEh | Is swap just as good as ram? | 01:39 |

| ActionParsnip | TweakedEh: its a tonne slower but if you need the capacity its cool | 01:40 |
| TweakedEh | ActionParsnip: alright, Thanks. | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | TweakedEh: its like the pagefile in windows | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | TweakedEh: except windows is isnt smart enough to have it on its own partition so it can affect fragmentation | 01:41 |
| TweakedEh | ActionParsnip: Lol, So would it still be worth it to go out and get a new ram card? | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | TweakedEh: if you need extra ram for activities, grab some. its cheap | 01:44 |
| faileas | ActionParsnip: well in theory you can have a windows style swap file ;p | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | faileas: true | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | faileas: i'd rather have it on a different disk, extra speed | 01:46 |
| faileas | ActionParsnip: and i think a poweruser of windows can move the pagefile to its own partition | 01:47 |
| faileas | a lot of sillyness is mainly cause they chose a different approach ;) | 01:47 |

| luis__ | hello guys good nite all of you, can somebody help me pls | 02:46 |
| luis__ | i just install kubuntu 8.04.1 so i am so new in here and i cant find mozilla, and also i was looking on google and all they said konsole, sudo aptitude(apt-get) install frefox mozilla whatever the rest might be but it just wont work | 02:49 |
| luis__ | so how can i install mozilla on kubuntu help plss??? | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | !firefox | 02:49 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 02:49 |
| luis__ | i cant | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | its right there in the package manager tools.. a few clicks and it isntalls... | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | firefox - meta package for the popular mozilla web browser | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:51 |
| luis__ | that dont work | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | then why dont you tell us some more info.. it works for most everyone else.... | 02:51 |
| luis__ | it say that it couldnt find any package with that name | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | update the package manager listing, upgrade, and try again | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get update | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | !info firefox | 02:52 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox-3.0): meta package for the popular mozilla web browser. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 (intrepid), package size 67 kB, installed size 124 kB | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | its in the 'main' repo - so that shouldent be a problem | 02:52 |
| luis__ | DR. Willis if i do the second comman (sudo apt-get upgrade) it means it will upgrade the systm to the newest kubuntu intrepid? | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | it will upgrade to the latest stuff yes.. if you are using intrepid | 02:55 |
| luis__ | no | 02:55 |
| Dr_willis | if you are not using intrepid.. then it wull upgrade whatever release you are using | 02:55 |
| luis__ | see this is my problem for somereason i do have the latest kubuntu but it wont start | 02:55 |
| luis__ | that is why i decided to install the previous one | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis | Most likely some driver issue | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis | If you are using the older one.. upgrade will NOT force you to upgrade to intrepid | 02:56 |
| luis__ | i mean i did install kubuntu intrepid and everything seems just find but then when it reboot after user and password the screen freeze | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like a driver issue to me | 02:57 |
| Dr_willis | work time for me. bye.. good luck | 02:58 |
| luis__ | hello thanks a lot DR WILLIS after done what you say is installing it | 02:58 |

| genii | The 3945 are notoriously horrible on linux. You could try ndiswrapper but I doubt it would help much | 04:04 |
| PyleDriver | i've noticed the terrifying amount of forum posts on it. i've pretty much come to the conclusion that it just won't work reliably | 04:05 |

| genii | PyleDriver: If you already have a backup adapter I'd just disable it or so | 04:06 |

| nikalaos | changed my home folder | 04:43 |

| nikalaos | so i couldn't log in at all | 04:43 |

| khalidmian | can anyone assist in telling me how to get amarok 2.0.1.1 via sudo command | 04:45 |
| gartral | blocky: whats ctrl+F4 supposed too do, as far as i see, it doesnt do squat in any web browser | 04:45 |
| blocky | coses current tab | 04:46 |
| blocky | closes rather | 04:46 |
| blocky | does so in windows on most browsers | 04:46 |

| * gartral wears a dunce cap and halds a "disregard" sign | 04:49 | |
| * nikalaos sighs | 04:50 | |
| gartral | ok, if the script is on my desktop the cd path would be /home/[name]/desktop , right? | 04:50 |
| nikalaos | crap, I hate my luck >.< | 04:51 |
| gartral | or more properly the command would be cd /home/]name]/desktop to get to the dir, right? | 04:51 |

| nikalaos | damn... that sucks | 04:56 |
| nikalaos | guess third time really is the charm >.< | 04:56 |
| setuid_w00t | nevemind | 04:57 |
| gartral | lol... this is why you should take regular backups | 04:57 |

| nikalaos | ah | 04:59 |
| nikalaos | well anyway | 05:00 |

| skii | an i would like some help with that i'm ask'n for so do NOT be a dick or u will find one very ticked off person!!! | 05:20 |
| gartral | yes, this is kubuntu, i directed you to kubuntu-community, theres a BIG differebce | 05:20 |
| skii | like i care i don't wanna talk to u any more so go away | 05:21 |
| gartral | continue this, and youll find a bunche of ticked people, so... | 05:21 |
| skii | if u do NOT wanna help me out then leave me alone!!! | 05:21 |
| gartral | first off, as far as "help" goes, you asked if we knew of stuff *you* would like, that is a matter of personal opinion, and not something we would know, second, the oasis media play is buggy, and still in early stages of development last i knew, i recomend Amarok, which is already on your system if your running any recent kubuntu | 05:23 |
| skii | what u r like 5 yr's old? stop being a dick and if u r gonna help me out then do so but if u r NOT then leave me alone cuz i really do not wanna punish a 5 yr for being bad!!! | 05:24 |
| PyleDriver | ok i have a .tar.gz for openoffice. how/where do i extract it? | 05:25 |
| skii | now when i say that i have a oasis media play i do mean it's a MEDIA PLAYER aka MP3 PLAYER | 05:27 |
| skii | how can ppl be so dumb these day's | 05:27 |
| skii | !!! | 05:27 |
| * gartral looks around, "as far as I see, your the 5 year old, especially by your in-unique sense of grammar" | 05:27 | |
| skii | why don't u get down on ur kneess and open wide cuz that's all ur be do'n tonight!!! | 05:28 |
| skii | NOW DO U WANNA STOP OR GO ON WITH THIS!!!!!!! | 05:28 |
| gartral | ok, well its not my fault that theres both a DAP and software called "oasis media player" and second, to load music too it from kubuntu, the easiest way would be through Amarok, especially if the device is MTP based | 05:29 |
| skii | it is but everytime i try to put music to it my computer alway's restart's by it's self and i wanna know how to stop that from keep happening!!! | 05:31 |
| setuid_w00t | I moved Kununtu on to a new hard drive. On my old hard drive, I was dual-booting windows and kubuntu. I would now like to be able to boot Windows (which still exists on the old hard drive) from grub. | 05:31 |
| setuid_w00t | Why would it have stopped working? I updated the menu.lst to point at the right partition for windows | 05:31 |
| jammen33 | windows might be trting the wrong hard drive | 05:32 |
| setuid_w00t | Is the fact that grub is in the MBR on the old hard drive screwing things up? | 05:32 |
| gartral | the device _probably_ needs a windows based transfer client then, and is totally incompatible with linux | 05:33 |
| setuid_w00t | jammen33: That is quite likely | 05:33 |
| jammen33 | if the new drive is set to be the master drive windows migth be use to be on that and there for can not load | 05:33 |
| skii | it does the same when i go to window's | 05:33 |
| skii | so i am sol no matter wat i do and i just got the damn thing too | 05:34 |
| PyleDriver | how do I install a program from a .tar.gz file? | 05:34 |
| gartral | skii: then the device is faulty, ide send it too the manufacture for a replacment | 05:34 |
| jammen33 | PyleDriver: is it source or bin? | 05:34 |
| setuid_w00t | hmm. I have seen some posts about using the repair functionality of the windows XP CD. Maybe I'll try that. I'm a bit nervous about it blowing away all of my linux data though | 05:34 |
| faileas | PyleDriver: untar it, read the readme | 05:35 |
| skii | i just got it today cuz my other didn't work ither and that was a creative zen v plus | 05:35 |
| jammen33 | setuid_w00t: it will change the mbr | 05:35 |
| gartral | skii: try every USB port? | 05:35 |
| gartral | sometimes a faulty port can cause wierd things | 05:35 |
| PyleDriver | jammen33: bin faileas:thanks | 05:36 |
| setuid_w00t | jammen33: yes, but hopefully only on the disk I want it to | 05:36 |
| jammen33 | setuid_w00t: it will change it on the primary harddrive im farly sure | 05:36 |
| setuid_w00t | jammen33: I think I'll unplug that one then :) | 05:37 |
| jammen33 | setuid_w00t: what i would do is set the windows drive to primary and have grub set to boot linux off the other | 05:37 |
| jammen33 | so windows will be happy | 05:38 |
| skii | ok i'll try every usb port but what if that doesn't work then what??? | 05:38 |
| setuid_w00t | jammen33: That's another option... | 05:38 |
| jammen33 | setuid_w00t: i think that might be the easist | 05:39 |
| gartral | then its a bad device, or see if it has an MSC mode in its firmware | 05:39 |
| setuid_w00t | jammen33: thanks for the ideas | 05:39 |
| jammen33 | setuid_w00t: np | 05:39 |
| gartral | is there a logbot still? | 05:56 |

| TheElevated | Hey guys, I'm trying to install Kubuntu and I ran into a bit of trouble. | 06:07 |
| TheElevated | Anyone here? | 06:08 |
| jammen33 | whats teh prblem | 06:08 |
| TheElevated | I'm getting the "No root file system" error | 06:08 |
| TheElevated | It's my first linux installation, ever, on a laptop that already has Vista. | 06:09 |
| gartral | too set a system dir a writable its chmod A+X right? | 06:09 |
| jammen33 | TheElevated: are you wanting to keep vista? | 06:09 |
| TheElevated | Preferably, yes. | 06:09 |
| TheElevated | I have the laptop with me, so I can do anything on it in real-time, so to speak. | 06:10 |
| jammen33 | TheElevated: are you using the manual or guided partitioning? | 06:10 |
| TheElevated | Guided | 06:10 |
| TheElevated | Manual* | 06:10 |
| TheElevated | Guided sees my entire drive as a single partition, while it came with two (visible) and one I just found out about when I clicked on manual. | 06:10 |
| jammen33 | have you created a parttion you want to install kubuntu on? | 06:11 |
| TheElevated | I have a partition with sufficient space and no other OSes installed there. | 06:11 |
| TheElevated | But it was already present when I bought the laptop. | 06:11 |
| jammen33 | ok so click on it and click edit | 06:12 |
| TheElevated | And then? | 06:12 |
| jammen33 | oyou will also need a swap partition | 06:12 |
| p_quarles | gartral: chmod a+x - it's case sensitive | 06:12 |
| TheElevated | I'm guessing that's the third partition that I just discovered. | 06:12 |
| jammen33 | quite posibly | 06:12 |
| jammen33 | under edit | 06:13 |
| jammen33 | hold on | 06:13 |
| TheElevated | Okay, I'm there. For "new partition size in megabytes," I entered its previous size, use as "ntfs", don't format and mount point, my options are /dos and /windows | 06:14 |
| jammen33 | is that your windows partition? | 06:15 |
| TheElevated | No, that's the non-OS partition. | 06:15 |
| TheElevated | The one I intend to install it in. | 06:15 |
| jammen33 | ok select use as Ext3 | 06:16 |
| jammen33 | and mount point as '/' | 06:16 |
| TheElevated | What effect will that have on the data in that partition? | 06:16 |
| jammen33 | it will erease it | 06:16 |
| TheElevated | Well, that would seem like an issue. | 06:16 |
| TheElevated | Is there any way I could avoid that? | 06:16 |
| jammen33 | if you boot back into window and run tthe cd | 06:17 |
| jammen33 | you will be given an option to us ewubi | 06:18 |
| jammen33 | wubo* | 06:18 |
| jammen33 | ... | 06:18 |
| TheElevated | wubo? | 06:18 |
| jammen33 | wubi* | 06:18 |
| TheElevated | sudo? | 06:18 |
| TheElevated | wubi? | 06:18 |
| TheElevated | Regardless of how it's spelled, what is it? | 06:18 |
| jammen33 | it will let you install kubuntu inside windows | 06:18 |
| TheElevated | It claims that'll result in slower performance. | 06:19 |
| setuid_w00t | Does Intrepid support reading and writing of ext4 filesystems? | 06:19 |
| jammen33 | !ext4 | 06:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 06:19 |
| jammen33 | idk | 06:19 |
| PSiL0 | setuid: jaunty does | 06:19 |
| setuid_w00t | I noticed that mkfs.ext4 is available | 06:19 |
| setuid_w00t | that's why I asked | 06:19 |
| setuid_w00t | jammen33: I got windows to boot by having grub fake that windows was the first drive | 06:20 |
| faileas | is there any way to set inode size during install or to change the inode size of a current install for an ext3 partition? | 06:21 |
| jammen33 | setuid_w00t: thats good | 06:21 |
| TheElevated | jammen33, if I use Ext3, format the partition, will Windows then be able to read whatever else I put there? | 06:21 |
| jammen33 | no and yes | 06:21 |
| jammen33 | by default it wont | 06:22 |
| jammen33 | but you can get drivers | 06:22 |
| TheElevated | Is there some advantage of using Ext3 over NTFS? | 06:22 |
| faileas | TheElevated: most of the ext3 drivers for windows won't work in intrepid | 06:23 |
| TheElevated | I have no idea what intrepid is. | 06:23 |
| jammen33 | faileas: i have one that works | 06:24 |
| faileas | TheElevated: the current release version of ubuntu | 06:24 |
| faileas | jammen33: which one? | 06:24 |
| jammen33 | http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 06:24 |
| faileas | the fsdriver one is broked for me | 06:24 |
| jammen33 | its ext2 | 06:24 |
| faileas | it asks me if i want to reformat. according to the forums its a result of the inode size that newer linux distros use | 06:24 |
| jammen33 | ok | 06:25 |
| TheElevated | Well, NTFS seems like less headache and more compatability. | 06:25 |
| setuid_w00t | In case anyone was curious, Intrepid can create, but not mount ext4 | 06:25 |
| jammen33 | thats ood | 06:25 |
| faileas | TheElevated: in my opinion, go for NTFS if you'll use windows more, and ext3 if you use linx more | 06:25 |
| JohnFlux | TheElevated: NTFS is really slow | 06:25 |
| faileas | *linux | 06:25 |
| JohnFlux | TheElevated: in linux | 06:25 |
| faileas | JohnFlux: actually ntfs3g is quite fast | 06:26 |
| JohnFlux | faileas: hmm, I saw some benchmarks of it compared to ext3 | 06:26 |
| TheElevated | faileas, yea, adding 3G to anything makes it faster, ;) | 06:26 |
| JohnFlux | about twice as slow | 06:26 |
| JohnFlux | faileas: although maybe that wasn't ntfs3g but the other driver | 06:26 |
| faileas | wierd. i remember the early version being about as fast | 06:26 |
| JohnFlux | I forget | 06:26 |
| JohnFlux | okay cool | 06:26 |
| faileas | http://www.ntfs-3g.org/performance.html | 06:27 |
| TheElevated | So, of all the options, which is the best? | 06:28 |
| TheElevated | Also, if I, for example, transfer everything on that partition to my PC's HDD (NTFS), could I then transfer it back quickly/painlessly to the newly formatted Ext3 partition? | 06:29 |
| noaXess | good morning.. | 06:32 |

| ubuntu | helllooo | 06:39 |
| JohnFlux | gartral: if it's in your current directory, yeah | 06:41 |
| setuid_w00t | gartral: Probably. Linux does not usually have "." (the current directory) in the path it searches for programs. | 06:41 |

| Enanito1 | installed easycam and nothing | 06:56 |
| gartral | ok, sorry, how do i mount via term, i didnt mean force as actually force | 06:56 |
| gartral | i meant is tell it too mount, the auto mounter is broken whiel my installer sccript is running | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: then just remove the --force bit, as long as /dev/cdrw points to your cdrom drive you are ok | 06:57 |
| gartral | is it just mount /dev/cdrw /media/cdrom0 ? | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gartral: you need sudo for it, users can't mount | 06:59 |

| deborah | hello again. does anyone know how to get the plasmoid deskop thingy to open. i accidentally closed it and now it wont appear. | 09:31 |
| deborah | ? | 09:31 |
| jussi01 | deborah: which thing do you mean? | 09:45 |
| deborah | jussi01 hey. the clear borderless window on the left side of the desktop. i assume it is to put widgets in. i accidentally closed it before i could find out what it is, and what it can do, what its name is, and how to get it back. | 09:47 |
| broken | Hello, anyone had the problem where their keyboard doesn't work under KDE 4.1? | 09:48 |
| jussi01 | deborah: ok. right click the desktop, add widgets, then drag "folderview" to the desktop | 09:48 |
| deborah | jussi01 keen. that is it! :) where can i find instructions on what it can do? | 09:50 |
| jussi01 | deborah: its pretty much like dolphin, but embedded into the desktop | 09:51 |
| deborah | jussi01 how do i get it to show the desktop. right now it will only load the home folders. | 09:56 |
| amitbk | hi, i have a question, but i'm not sure this is the right place to ask it. i want to install opera from the ubuntu repository, but following the steps on the wiki page - the opera package is not found. | 09:56 |
| jussi01 | deborah: click the wrench icon on the black bar that comes up when you hover over it ;) | 09:58 |
| amitbk | anyone? | 09:59 |
| deborah | jussi01 keen. now it makes sense! thanks juss | 10:00 |
| jussi01 | amitbk: as I understand it, its been removed from the ubuntu repos | 10:00 |
| amitbk | jussi01: has it? that means it's no longer tested? | 10:01 |
| jussi01 | amitbk: to be honest Im not certain of the status | 10:03 |
| amitbk | jussi01: how can i check it myself? | 10:04 |

| amitbk | i have another question - how can i map a key to open up amarok window? i have a multimedia key on my keyboard that i want to use for that. it has an X event i can use | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | 10:18 |
| ubottu | keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 10:18 |
| amitbk | ubottu: i have "Keyboard shortcuts" under "Keyboard and mouse" but how do i add a new shortcut there? | 10:19 |

| matt_ | Hi, does anyone know when the release notes for jaunty alpha 3 will be available? | 10:54 |
| matt_ | I see that ubuntu has release notes for 3, but no kubuntu | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | matt_: same deal, just kubuntu uses kde + kwin instead of gnome + metacity | 10:56 |
| matt_ | Hi ActionParsnip, I understand that my friend. but usually when a new alpha comes out there are release notes for both ubuntu and k | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | matt_: they are essentially the same deal | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | matt_: i cant see how theyd be different | 10:57 |
| Zagaroth | can someone tell me how to rename a file from command line | 10:58 |
| Zagaroth | please | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Zagaroth: mv <old name> <new name> | 10:58 |
| Zagaroth | thanks | 10:58 |
| matt_ | ActionParsnip - https://wiki.kubuntu.org/JauntyJackalope/Alpha2/Kubuntu - this is the release notes for Kubuntu. This has notes on KDE stuff | 10:59 |
| matt_ | you see, such as powerdevel and KDE 4.2 beta 2. These are not ubuntu related | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | true | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | maybe someone has a link in#ubuntu+1 | 11:00 |
| matt_ | it seems to me, my friend that they are missing the alpha 3 build - which I am running btw | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jaunty isnt supported here dude, its all in the +1 | 11:02 |
| amitbk | i'm sorry, i couldn't figure out how to use the bot for this. i want to add a new keyboard shortcut. i am using kde with kubuntu 8.10. | 11:02 |
| matt_ | it is working fine, however 'enable desktop effects' is not working. usually the release notes for an alpha would say such a thing | 11:02 |
| amitbk | i want to assign a keyboard key to open up amarok | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | 11:02 |
| ubottu | keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 11:02 |
| amitbk | i can't seem to find out how. | 11:02 |
| matt_ | it is true, it is not supported, I am on my own, and I am happy with that :-) | 11:03 |
| amitbk | ActionParsnip: yes, i got this message already, however, i can't find the place in which to add the new key mapping. | 11:04 |
| amitbk | ActionParsnip: i'm not sure this is updated for kde4 | 11:04 |
| matt_ | amitbk - do you know which version of KDE you are using? | 11:04 |
| amitbk | the one intrepid installed. 4.1.2, isn't it? | 11:06 |
| matt_ | amitbk - there was an issue with KDE 4.0 and 4.1 with regards to global shortcuts | 11:06 |
| amitbk | matt_: can you reference me to read about it? | 11:06 |
| sorset | hi, can i use desktop in kde4 as a folder? like kde3 or windows | 11:07 |
| jussi01 | sorset: its not implemented until kde 4.2 | 11:08 |
| sorset | jussi01 can u explain? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | fluxbox shorcut keys are way easier to configure | 11:09 |
| jussi01 | sorset: the feature you want is not added in the older release, it comes in kde 4.2... | 11:09 |
| matt_ | amitbk - iirc it was on www.planetkde.org - but the link has now gone | 11:09 |
| amitbk | matt_: an interesting question you asked. now that i check using the Help > About KDE, every program gives me a different KDE version. | 11:10 |
| sorset | jussi01: ok, thx | 11:10 |
| matt_ | amitbk, that is strange, what does konqueror say as the KDE version? | 11:11 |
| amitbk | matt_: 4.1.3 | 11:11 |
| amitbk | matt_: Konversation gives 3.5.10 | 11:11 |
| amitbk | matt_: amarok also gives 3.5.10 | 11:12 |
| jussi01 | amitbk: thats because konqui is still the old qt3 version | 11:12 |
| jussi01 | same with amarok | 11:12 |
| matt_ | amitbk, this is because these programs with 3.5.10 are using KDE 3, | 11:12 |
| jussi01 | err... konvi | 11:12 |
| amitbk | matt_ jussi01: so it means i have both kde3 and kde4 libs installed here? | 11:12 |
| matt_ | konqueror is a program written for KDE 4 (qt4) | 11:13 |
| jussi01 | amitbk: correct | 11:14 |
| jussi01 | some of them anyway | 11:14 |
| amitbk | jussi01: do you might have any idea how i can define global shortcuts in kde4? | 11:15 |
| jussi01 | amitbk: you asked me before.. | 11:15 |
| matt_ | amitbk, I am using kde 4.2 rc1, in the system settings, click on keyboard and mouse | 11:17 |
| matt_ | then global keyboard shortcuts | 11:17 |
| matt_ | do you have this option, my friend? | 11:17 |
| amitbk | jussi01: have i? i'm sorry, but i guess i'm a little confused about it. i can't understand from the settings gui where do i add new global shortcuts. | 11:18 |
| matt_ | amitbk, how are you doing? | 11:22 |
| amitbk | matt_: i guess i'm on 4.1.3 . i can't find "global keyboard shortcuts" under keyboard and mouse. | 11:23 |
| amitbk | matt_: I have "Keyboard Shortcuts" | 11:23 |
| amitbk | with specific applications in it | 11:24 |
| matt_ | amitbk, as I said I have 4.2 and global shortcuts, however they are limited also in the applications that you can open | 11:24 |
| matt_ | while amarok is on the list, and you can change the volume and the next track | 11:25 |
| matt_ | I do not think that you can 'open' amarok with a global shortcut key | 11:25 |
| amitbk | matt_: i'm looking at a page i found. it suggests the answer is under the "advanced" tab. looking at it now. | 11:26 |
| Jado | hi, i need some help : if i choose the 640x480 resolution (xrandr --size 640x480 or nvidia-settings), the desktop does not appear entirely on my screen and i can't see the bottom part of it. With other resolutoins, such as 800x600 or 1280x800, i can see all the desktop and not only a part | 11:26 |
| matt_ | but say if you were in another program, you could stop, play and pause | 11:26 |
| knusperfrosch | Jado: hit the auto-adjust button on your tft ;) | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Jado: try killing then restarting plasma in 640x480 | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | well, knusperfrosch is probably a better first try | 11:27 |
| sorset | can i mount ntfs with konqueror in kde4, like kde3 ? | 11:31 |
| matt_ | ActionParsnip, you seem very knowledgeable - do you develop KDE? | 11:31 |
| Jado | knusperfrosch: it's a laptop :( | 11:32 |
| Jado | ActionParsnip: i'll try | 11:32 |
| Jado | ActionParsnip: but how can i start plasma in 640x480 ? | 11:32 |
| knusperfrosch | Jado: plasma --help-kde | 11:34 |
| knusperfrosch | Jado: so i guess --geometry is what you're looking for | 11:34 |
| Jado | i have no manual entry for X | 11:35 |
| BeteNoire | hi | 11:35 |
| BeteNoire | what is that application in kubuntu's tray to manage network connections? | 11:35 |
| matt_ | BeteNoire: hi - | 11:35 |
| matt_ | knetworkmanager | 11:36 |
| BeteNoire | what version? | 11:36 |
| matt_ | 0.7 - i think | 11:36 |
| matt_ | depends on your kde | 11:36 |
| Jado | how can i have a manual entry for X ? | 11:36 |
| BeteNoire | it was fresh install of newest kubuntu, when i saw that app | 11:37 |
| BeteNoire | so that was in KDE 4 | 11:37 |
| amitbk | matt_: thanks for you assistance. i will keep looking for this later. leaving now. | 11:37 |
| fillipbisera | how to install compiz??? | 11:37 |
| matt_ | amitbk - hope it works for you my friend | 11:37 |
| knusperfrosch | Jado: just try 640x480 or what ever | 11:38 |
| Jado | knusperfrosch: i've tried but my desktop stays on 1280x800 | 11:38 |
| matt_ | BeteNoire - I think that for KDE4 it is 0.7 | 11:38 |
| matt_ | are you having problems? | 11:39 |
| BeteNoire | matt_: but 0.7 is version of networkmanager, not knetwork*, right? | 11:39 |
| fillipbisera | please tell me how to install compiz | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Jado: just start it like any other app | 11:39 |
| Jado | ActionParsnip: i've tried ; but the resolution stays at 1280x800 | 11:39 |
| fillipbisera | download adress | 11:39 |
| fillipbisera | pls?? | 11:39 |
| Jado | i've tried plasma --geometry 640x480 and plasma --geometry 800x600 but that does not change the resolution | 11:40 |
| Jado | (and i kill plasma before) | 11:40 |
| Jado | any other idea ? | 11:41 |
| matt_ | Betenoire - what I saw on Suse - I thought that it was knetwork manager version 0.7 - but I could be wrong | 11:42 |
| BeteNoire | matt_: newest is 0.2.2 but i wonder how it can be compiled with kde4 | 11:43 |
| Jado | knusperfrosch: i found it : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343426 | 11:43 |
| matt_ | is knetwork a qt3 app? | 11:45 |
| knusperfrosch | Jado: o you added "640x480_60" to your xorg.conf? | 11:45 |
| knusperfrosch | matt_: knetworkmanager, yes | 11:45 |
| Jado | knusperfrosch: actually i tried xrandr --size 640x480_60 but the screen still does not fit | 11:45 |
| BeteNoire | matt_: i think so, it pulls kdelibs 3.5 on my gentoo box and on suse page svn version comes from KDE/3.5 dir | 11:46 |
| knusperfrosch | Jado: xrandrr --output <whatever> --mode 640x480 --rate 60 | 11:47 |
| matt_ | I seem to recall on Kde planet about knetwork manager, but the blog is not current | 11:48 |
| matt_ | *current | 11:48 |

| wesley_ | lol pulseaudio and so gives trouble in jaunty | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zer0o: use device manager if you are SURE they are correct and tell it to use the drivers by force | 13:03 |

| zer0o | ive installed them 3 times (from the mobo's cd, downloaded them from the mobo's website) but nothing! | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zer0o: point the system to the .inf file | 13:03 |

| tobor | ActionParsnip: I beg thee fair and gentle goodknight, do not encourage therabbel to promulgate in this fair channel, for tis 'bundant enow for all such as thee! | 13:04 |
| wesley_ | I think its kde4 thats having a fight with pulseaudio | 13:04 |
| zer0o | ActionParnsip: the thing is i install the drivers, the setup goes ok, reboot and it says "no audio peripheral device" | 13:04 |

| wesley_ | Dr_willis, I though of disabeling them, maby | 13:06 |
| wesley_ | I putted pulse above and then it switched to alc | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | I got a kde and gnome system here.. ive not had any issues with kde and pulse audio,. i was thiniing if you booted to the kde desktop.. you dident ahve pulseaudio running | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | zer0o: yeah man, if you are sure its the right one say "look thats the driver, just install it. i dont are what you think" | 13:07 |
| wesley_ | but when i putted alc abovce, it switched to pluse | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | zer0o: then get your pimp hand out | 13:07 |
| zer0o | LOL | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | zer0o: shouting shabba is optional | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | 'gort clacko barato nickto!' | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | or somthing like that.. | 13:08 |
| wesley_ | but i am running jaunty on this pc | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !jaunty | wesley_ | 13:08 |
| ubottu | wesley_: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 13:08 |
| wesley_ | So I know the risks off it, but it runs fine, better then Windows | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | all bets are off then - are riding the rabbit rollercoaster! | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 13:09 |
| * ActionParsnip is waiting for release | 13:09 | |
| ActionParsnip | id rather kill zombie dogs with my (t)rusty pickaxe in pernumbra overture than mess with possibly flaky software | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | runs native too :) | 13:14 |
| alarm | hello, is it worth to instal kubuntu 64bit, or should i stay in the standard edition ? 1) will i see any performance difference 2) any application issues ? | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: 64bit is also standard | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: whats the system going to be used for? | 13:16 |
| alarm | personal use | 13:16 |
| alarm | laptop | 13:16 |
| alxju | Hello! I use DVB with Kaffeine. But the EPG display doesn't work (but dvbepg.data seems updated). Ana idea? | 13:17 |
| alxju | *any | 13:17 |
| alarm | i have used before on my desktop 64bit before, but i cant say that i did see some differences. but i am aware of the applications availability in 64bits , like flash,java etc | 13:17 |
| velgiak | ciao | 13:18 |
| velgiak | ciao a tutti | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: still need more infor, is it just web browsing and chat or will you be doing stuff like encoding video / audio? | 13:19 |
| velgiak | hi | 13:19 |
| velgiak | i need help | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: flash now has a 64bit plugin | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask | velgiak | 13:19 |
| ubottu | velgiak: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:19 |
| velgiak | i've kubuntu 8.10 | 13:19 |
| velgiak | i'm a beginner | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis | And the problem is? | 13:20 |
| velgiak | so i've to install globus toolkit | 13:20 |
| alarm | use, for compiling, development generaly | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: everyone is at one point | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | !find globus | 13:20 |
| ubottu | File globus found in mpi-doc | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | alarm: then 64bit will help there, if you have > 2Gb RAM I suggest 64 bit too (personal opinion) | 13:20 |
| velgiak | when i try to ./configure as globus user | 13:21 |
| * Dr_willis has no idea what globus is. :() | 13:21 | |
| ActionParsnip | !info globus-toolkit | 13:21 |
| ubottu | Package globus-toolkit does not exist in intrepid | 13:21 |
| alarm | 4gb ram | 13:21 |
| velgiak | i've an error | 13:21 |
| * Dr_willis guesses at the anwer.. :) 'install build-essential' package yet? | 13:21 | |
| raphink | velgiak: do you really need to compile it? | 13:21 |
| velgiak | permission denied | 13:21 |
| velgiak | cannot create file.sh | 13:22 |
| raphink | velgiak: ActionParsnip has given you some info, and I've asked you a question | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | whats the exact error? You may want to use one of the pastebin sites to paste the whole error message. and youmay juat have the files miss-owned dependign on how you unpacked the source | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: have you ran: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 13:22 |
| velgiak | ok, i try sudo apt-get install build-essential | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | !compile | 13:23 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: that will install a compiling environment for you | 13:23 |
| frloja | oi | 13:23 |
| frloja | zorix? | 13:25 |
| squid0 | hi. when I try launch kbluetooth4, it crashes | 13:26 |
| velgiak | i try sudo apt-get install build-essential, but the error is the same: ./configure: 97: cannot create conf28151.sh: Permission denied | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: where is the source folder located? | 13:27 |
| velgiak | yes | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: if you run pwd what is the output | 13:27 |
| velgiak | one moment | 13:27 |
| squid0 | kbluetooth4: symbol lookup error: kbluetooth4: undefined symbol: xxxxSolid7Control16BluetoothManager8securityxxxxQString | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | squid0: i seem to remember it bing broken. I think you have to se the gnome app | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | *being | 13:28 |
| squid0 | ActionParsnip: ok, thanks | 13:28 |
| velgiak | the output of pwd is: /home/velgiak/gt4.2.1-installer | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | i may be wrong, i'd check it out first | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: ok try sudo chown -R velgiak /home/velgiak/gt4.2.1-installer | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: you sure its no an installer script and not source | 13:29 |
| velgiak | i've to launch .configure as globus and not as velgiak | 13:30 |
| velgiak | i've switched to globus user | 13:30 |
| Dr_willis | you made a globus user? | 13:32 |
| velgiak | yes | 13:32 |
| velgiak | and i made the directory /usr/local/globus-4.2.0 | 13:33 |
| velgiak | with the right r/w for globus | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: you dont need to, if its part of the install, it wll be made for you | 13:33 |
| Dr_willis | but you ADDED a 'globus' user? theres a /home/globus ? | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | velgiak: sudo make install will give you the access and the installer will install where it needs to go | 13:34 |
| racquad | hi guys, where in KDE I can write a shell script so the user, when logons, execute that script? | 13:34 |
| Dr_willis | ./configure, make, sudo make install <----------- the normal install from source 3 step process. :) | 13:34 |
| Dr_willis | !autostart | racquad | 13:34 |
| ubottu | racquad: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. In KDE 3.X the package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. For a complete KDE 3.X guide, see http://jucato.org/kde/kde-autostart.html | 13:34 |
| Dr_willis | racquad, make script. make it excutable.. link it to some name in ~/.kde/Autostart | 13:35 |
| velgiak | yes, there's /home/globus | 13:35 |
| racquad | Dr_willis is it possible to write this script on xinit or something? | 13:35 |
| Dr_willis | racquad, that would be for ALL users... | 13:35 |
| racquad | Dr_willis to be system wide? | 13:35 |
| racquad | yes, that's what I want | 13:35 |
| Dr_willis | and you are on your own there.. what does this script need to do? | 13:35 |
| racquad | this is insane, but: xhost + | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | racquad, xhost + localhost is better :) | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | safer at least heh.. dependin ion what you are doing | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | I havent had to use xhost+ since ive learnd ssh -X :) | 13:37 |
| racquad | Dr_willis the thing is: i'm configuring a network with LTSP and I want to get access, via VNC, to all the terminals. So, I will not access from localhost, but from another host | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | Im not clear on why using vnc. you need xhost + , but i guess you can dissedt/tweak the X startup scripts all ya want :) | 13:38 |
| Dr_willis | ive not messed with LTSP - I just vnc back and forth to the box's on my lan. or ssh -X, or use X and xdmcp. | 13:40 |
| Dr_willis | its bed time for me.. good luck. Night all | 13:40 |
| racquad | Dr_willis ssh -X may work on somecases, but on others, I'll need to see the screen of the user | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | racquad: then vnc is cool so you can see the user screen, if its over wan, do it over ssh tunnel so its secure (vnc traffic is unencrypted) | 13:41 |
| Dragnslcr | There are VNC servers and clients that can do SSL | 13:42 |
| racquad | ActionParsnip I'll use over SSH. But I still need to open xhost to be able to connect | 13:42 |
| khalidmian | how do i connect konversation via proxy server | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | racquad: if you have a headless, you can connect to a virtual x session using vnc, then vnc from there (maybe) | 13:43 |
| raphink | khalidmian: use quassel, it rocks :) | 13:46 |
| raphink | (and it's Qt4) | 13:46 |
| raphink | khalidmian: and it supports using proxies | 13:47 |
| khalidmian | raphink: what is quassel and how does it help me with the proxy server question i had | 13:48 |
| raphink | khalidmian: quassel is a new IRC client for KDE4, and the proxy settings are very easy to set in it | 13:48 |
| raphink | khalidmian: that's how it helps you, especially since Konversation is not yet ported to KDE4 ;) | 13:48 |
| raphink | khalidmian: http://quassel-irc.org/ | 13:49 |
| khalidmian | can i get it via sudo command? | 13:49 |
| raphink | sure | 13:50 |
| khalidmian | i tired sudo apt-get quassel didnt work | 13:50 |
| raphink | you have to choose whether you want the simple quassel (equivalent to konversation), or the client/server version, which is very nice if you use IRC from different locations | 13:50 |
| raphink | khalidmian: you miss "install" in your command line | 13:51 |
| raphink | khalidmian: sudo apt-get install quassel | 13:51 |
| khalidmian | raphink: just installed it how do i config core account lol | 13:53 |
| velgiak | this is the link for globus installation: http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/ch04.html | 13:53 |
| velgiak | when i arrive to point 3 | 13:53 |
| raphink | khalidmian: if you installed the "quassel" account, you don't need to configure a core, just connect to freenode and join #kubuntu | 13:54 |
| velgiak | i've the error: | 13:54 |
| velgiak | ./configure: 97: cannot create conf29280.sh: Permission denied | 13:54 |
| velgiak | ./configure: 97: cannot create conf29280.sh: Permission denied | 13:54 |
| velgiak | chmod: cannot access `conf29280.sh': No such file or directory | 13:54 |
| velgiak | ./configure: line 88: conf29280.sh: Permission denied | 13:54 |
| raphink | khalidmian: if you want to use a proxy, you can do so in the configuration of the network | 13:54 |
| velgiak | ./configure: line 89: conf29280.sh: Permission denied | 13:54 |
| velgiak | chmod: cannot access `conf29280.sh': No such file or directory | 13:54 |
| velgiak | ./configure: line 201: conf29280.file: Permission denied | 13:54 |
| velgiak | ./configure: line 907: config.log: Permission denied | 13:54 |
| raphink | velgiak: please use a pastebin for this kind of things | 13:54 |
| raphink | khalidmian: go to File -> Networks -> Configure Networks | 13:54 |
| raphink | khalidmian: and there you can mofidy the servers, and set the proxy you want to use in the "advanced" tab | 13:55 |
| Tim___ | what is the replacement of "kdesu ...." in intrepid? My users are not in the "adm" group so I think kdesudo wont help? | 13:55 |
| raphink | Tim___: what you do mean it won't hel? | 13:56 |
| raphink | Tim___: what do you need to do ? get admin rights or change users ? | 13:56 |
| Tim___ | raphink: run a command as root | 13:56 |
| raphink | then kdesudo should be the way | 13:56 |
| Tim___ | raphink: but it asks for the users password?! | 13:57 |
| raphink | if the user has sudo rights to become admin | 13:57 |
| raphink | Tim___: yes | 13:57 |
| raphink | Tim___: if your user doesn't have admin rights, you should either add it to the admin group, or add a rule in sudoers | 13:57 |
| khalidmian | im toonewbie for this | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy | 13:58 |
| raphink | khalidmian: did you start quassel? | 13:58 |
| khalidmian | raphink: i dont know how to | 13:58 |
| === baboso is now known as bukharin | ||
| raphink | khalidmian: it should appear in your K menu in the bar | 13:59 |
| Tim___ | raphink: OK. But in hardy and earlier there was "kdesu" which asked for the root Passwort. It didnt rely on sudo but on su. I think the removed it for whatever reason :( | 13:59 |
| raphink | khalidmian: or else you can do Ctrl+F2 and type quassel | 13:59 |
| khalidmian | raphink: its asking me to connect to quassel core | 13:59 |
| raphink | khalidmian: you installed the quassel package or quassel-client? | 14:00 |
| khalidmian | i have no clue i just did sudo apt-get install quassel | 14:00 |
| raphink | Tim___: that's good actually, it's much safer for your security to have a group that can access root priviledges without knowing the root password | 14:00 |
| raphink | khalidmian: my bad then, do "sudo apt-get install quassel-client quassel-core" | 14:01 |
| raphink | and then start quassel | 14:01 |
| raphink | and it should give you a nice interface to configure your core | 14:01 |
| raphink | it's easy I promise :) | 14:01 |
| khalidmian | raphink: i did theres a window to connect to quassel core | 14:02 |
| raphink | khalidmian: ok, then just select the local core (which should already be listed) and connect to it | 14:02 |
| raphink | Tim___: you know how to do that? | 14:02 |
| khalidmian | raphink: connectio to localhost failed connection refused | 14:03 |
| Tim___ | raphink: I am not sure, are you referring to sudo? | 14:03 |
| raphink | khalidmian: did you do the "sudo apt-get install quassel-core quassel-client" and restart quassel? | 14:03 |
| raphink | Tim___: yes, either adding people to the admin group, or adding rules in sudoers | 14:03 |
| khalidmian | raphink: i just typed apt-get install quassel thats all | 14:04 |
| raphink | khalidmian: and it was not the right command. it's my mistake sorry. Please type "sudo apt-get install quassel-client quassel-core" | 14:04 |
| raphink | so you have a local core to connect to | 14:04 |
| Tim___ | raphink: Thanks | 14:04 |
| raphink | Tim___: thanks for what? | 14:05 |
| Tim___ | raphink: he, for your help of course :) | 14:05 |
| khalidmian | raphink: quassel-core failed to install/upgrade | 14:07 |
| khalidmian | raphink: forget it | 14:07 |
| khalidmian | raphink: connected to localhost now what launch wizard? | 14:08 |
| khalidmian | raphink: connected to localhost now what launch wizard? | 14:10 |

| nahy | hey guys. i'm using ubuntu and i want join an ubuntu chan. how can i do this? | 14:14 |
| raphink | khalidmian: you can go to File -> Networks and connect to Freenode | 14:14 |
| raphink | nahy: you want to join #ubuntu ? | 14:15 |
| nahy | yes that is it | 14:15 |
| khalidmian | raphink: thats all greek to me | 14:15 |
| raphink | khalidmian: I'm telling you about menus, on top of the window | 14:16 |
| nahy | i try to connect but i don't know the instructions | 14:16 |
| raphink | khalidmian: Click on "File", then "Networks", then "Freenode" | 14:16 |
| raphink | nahy: /join #ubuntu | 14:16 |
| nahy | yes but i cant see network | 14:16 |
| raphink | khalidmian: and then type "/join #kubuntu" and you should end up here | 14:16 |
| raphink | nahy: if you're here, you're already on the network | 14:16 |
| khalidmian | raphink: i dont have any networks | 14:17 |
| khalidmian | its all blank | 14:17 |
| raphink | ah, that's weird | 14:17 |
| nahy | i wanna ask something else | 14:17 |
| raphink | khalidmian: then you can go to Configure Networks | 14:17 |
| raphink | and add Freenode | 14:17 |
| raphink | although it's weird if it's not already there | 14:17 |
| raphink | nahy: what else? | 14:17 |
| nahy | when you erite something to me how you do that so my name appears in the beginning | 14:18 |
| nahy | ? | 14:18 |
| khalidmian | raphink: says i need to define server | 14:18 |
| raphink | nahy: I type your name ? | 14:18 |
| nahy | when you write? | 14:18 |
| raphink | (and I use tab for completion) | 14:18 |
| nahy | aha | 14:18 |
| Tim___ | has anybody tried the OpenOffice3 packages from launchpad, are they good? | 14:19 |
| raphink | khalidmian: use chat.freenode.net:8001 as the server | 14:19 |
| raphink | Tim___: openoffice 3 is great :) | 14:19 |
| nahy | if you remember my problem was freeing up some space in my root and couldn't | 14:19 |
| raphink | khalidmian: as in, chat.freenode.net, on port 8001 | 14:20 |
| khalidmian | raphink:ok now what | 14:20 |
| raphink | khalidmian: are you connected to Freenode now? | 14:20 |
| khalidmian | raphink: apparently yes | 14:20 |
| raphink | if you are it should say "Freenode" in the right top corner, under "buffer" | 14:21 |
| Tim___ | raphink: Does the KDE Filepicker work? | 14:21 |
| raphink | if you are, then click on the "Freenode" word, and type "/join #kubuntu" in the field at the bottom of the window | 14:21 |
| raphink | Tim___: haven't tried | 14:21 |
| khalidmian | raphink: yes it does | 14:21 |
| raphink | khalidmian: or you can right click on "Freenode" and choose join channel | 14:23 |
| raphink | and put "#kubuntu" as the channel name | 14:23 |
| khalidmian | raphink: its going through ident check | 14:26 |
| khalidmian | raphink: no identid | 14:26 |
| raphink | hmpf | 14:27 |
| raphink | just checking if konversation does proxy connection, but I can't see that it does | 14:28 |
| raphink | so I still think quassel can solve your problem | 14:28 |
| raphink | khalidmian: did it take you through the core configuration steps? | 14:28 |
| khalidmian | raphink: yes | 14:28 |
| raphink | did you configure the freenode network with "chat.freenode.net" as server and 8001 as port? | 14:29 |
| kpenrose | After adding medibuntu to my software repositories, searching for anything from that site (e.g. acroread) in adept doesn't return anything, command line apt-get does work however. Why doesn't adept show the medibuntu pkgs? | 14:30 |
| khalidmian | chat.freenode.ney port 800 | 14:30 |
| khalidmian | 8001 i mean | 14:30 |
| raphink | 8001 | 14:30 |
| khalidmian | yes | 14:30 |
| raphink | ok | 14:30 |
| raphink | then you connected to it? | 14:31 |
| khalidmian | im trying to | 14:31 |
| khalidmian | its refusing connection | 14:31 |
| khalidmian | identd issue | 14:31 |
| raphink | hmmm | 14:31 |
| raphink | taht's weird | 14:31 |
| raphink | you're on the same machine as the one you're using to be here? | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: did you sudo apt-get update | 14:31 |
| khalidmian | yes same machine | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: if apt can see it you got the gold | 14:32 |
| raphink | khalidmian: what are you using to be here right now? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: i dont use adept myself, apt-get does everything a man can need | 14:32 |
| khalidmian | konversation | 14:32 |
| raphink | ok | 14:32 |
| kpenrose | ActionParsnip: Doesn't adept do that automatically?? | 14:32 |
| raphink | kpenrose: you need to refresh in adept | 14:33 |
| raphink | kpenrose: like ActionParsnip said, apt-get does everything you need, and much faster than adept | 14:33 |
| kpenrose | ActionParsnip - I think searching is easier in adept | 14:33 |
| khalidmian | its irc.ubuntu.com | 14:33 |
| raphink | apt-cache is a great tool, and grep is good, too | 14:33 |
| raphink | khalidmian: you can try with irc.ubuntu.com, too | 14:33 |
| raphink | although it should be quite the same result | 14:33 |
| raphink | khalidmian: unless maybe your network doesn't allow you to connect to port 8001 | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: apt-cache search <something> | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: you can even grep the output to get intelligent results | 14:34 |
| raphink | khalidmian: you can add chat.freenode.net on port 7000 | 14:34 |
| raphink | and the ones you have in konversation | 14:35 |
| raphink | khalidmian: the more servers you have, the more likely to get connected if one fails | 14:35 |
| kpenrose | ActionParsnip: I guess I'm getting lazy in my old age. I will reform my ways. Thanx for the help. | 14:35 |
| raphink | khalidmian: you can also use irc.freenode.org on port 6667 | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, I noticed your converstaion about quassel ,raphink, khalidmian ...tried out quassel , not my cup of tea , the GUI is too restictive doesn't show much info and it wouldn't connect | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: it may just need time to settle in | 14:36 |
| raphink | BlueEagle: ah, it works great for me, and khalidmian wants to use a proxy to connect, which konversation doesn't allow | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kpenrose: try adept tomorrow | 14:36 |
| raphink | BlueEagle: + quassel allows me to keep my session open without using irssi+screen, which is lovely | 14:36 |
| khalidmian | BluesKaj: all i wanted to know is how i can connec via proxy server | 14:36 |
| raphink | khalidmian: and quassel can do that, while konversation can't (that I know of) | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | IC , khalidmian, raphink | 14:37 |
| kpenrose | Another question - anyone using knetworkmanager for ppp sessions (tethered modem)? | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | raphink, how did you get the server page to expand so one can see what is happening? ...looked for options in configure/settings but to no avail :( | 14:38 |
| raphink | BlueEagle: I clicked on the limit and dragged it down | 14:39 |
| raphink | well edge | 14:39 |
| khaldmian | i have two quassel | 14:40 |
| khaldmian | one is client only | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | raphink , I tried that , there was way to do it | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | no | 14:40 |
| raphink | ah, weird | 14:40 |
| raphink | it works for me BlueEagle :s | 14:41 |
| khaldmian | ? | 14:41 |
| raphink | blackflag: http://r.pinson.free.fr/snapshots/quassel3.png | 14:42 |
| raphink | khaldmian: yes, that's normal | 14:42 |
| raphink | khaldmian: you have a local core, which is what connects to IRC, and a client, which is the graphical part that connects to the core | 14:42 |
| raphink | taht's how quassel is designed | 14:43 |
| raphink | this is why it's great :) | 14:43 |
| khaldmian | raphink: im not using client at moment | 14:43 |
| raphink | in my case, the core runs on my machine at home, and I'm on the client at work :) | 14:43 |
| raphink | khaldmian: if you're in a graphical interface, you're using the client | 14:43 |
| raphink | the core has no graphical interface, it's only a command line service | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | raphink, BTW I'm BluesKaj, not BlueEagle | 14:44 |
| raphink | haha sorry BluesKaj | 14:44 |
| raphink | and sorry BlueEagle for spamming ;) | 14:44 |
| khaldmian | raphink: ok using client quassel | 14:45 |
| raphink | khaldmian: ok | 14:45 |
| khaldmian | raphink: can u know tell me how to use proxy server | 14:46 |
| raphink | khaldmian: edit the server in File -> Networks -> Configure Networks | 14:46 |
| raphink | khaldmian: and where you add the server (e.g. chat.freenode.net), you have an "advanced" tab | 14:46 |
| raphink | in this tab, you can set the proxy | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | raphink, np:) | 14:47 |
| raphink | BlueEagle: you should give it another try though, quassel is really worth it ;) | 14:48 |
| raphink | imho | 14:48 |
| khaldmian | raphink: advanced tab only shows encoding | 14:48 |
| raphink | khaldmian: when you edit the network, click on a server (e.g. chat.freenode.net:8001), and click on "modify..." | 14:49 |
| raphink | there, you have an "advanced" tab, which lets you set the proxy | 14:49 |
| raphink | at least in my version of quassel | 14:49 |
| raphink | which might be a bit more recent than yours probably | 14:49 |
| khaldmian | raphink: there is no modify only add edit or delete | 14:50 |
| raphink | wel lthen edit | 14:50 |
| raphink | (sorry, I have it in French, so I'm trying to guess what it says in English ) | 14:50 |
| khaldmian | raphink: all it asks me is for server and port | 14:51 |
| === geek is now known as faileas | ||
| raphink | khaldmian: http://r.pinson.free.fr/snapshots/quassel_proxy.png | 14:51 |
| raphink | do you have something like this? | 14:51 |
| raphink | with two tabs: "Server info" and "Advanced" | 14:52 |
| khaldmian | raphink: yes | 14:52 |
| raphink | then click on the "Advanced" tab | 14:52 |
| raphink | and there I see : http://r.pinson.free.fr/snapshots/quassel_proxy1.png | 14:53 |

| cjae | hi how do I enable the nvidia driver in 8.04, actually I used thr hardware driver gui to install the driver, but cannot access the nvidia-settings | 14:54 |
| khaldmian | raphink: maynot be available in client only | 14:54 |
| khaldmian | one sec | 14:54 |
| cjae | sudo nvidia-settings does not work | 14:54 |
| === javier is now known as Helio2000 | ||
| raphink | khaldmian: did you find? | 14:57 |
| khaldmian | raphink: no | 14:57 |
| raphink | no "advanced" tab? | 14:57 |
| === mike is now known as Guest45881 | ||
| khaldmian | raphink: its there but just shows encoding i wanna use | 14:58 |
| raphink | ah ok | 14:59 |
| raphink | it probably changed between versions | 14:59 |
| raphink | :s | 14:59 |
| raphink | I can tell you how to install a newer version if you want | 14:59 |
| khaldmian | sure | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | cjae, try looking in the kmenu/applications/system/Hardware Drivers | 14:59 |
| cjae | I thought it had the nvidia-settings | 15:00 |
| khaldmian | am i suppose to use clint or what? | 15:00 |
| cjae | it just shows a gui that says the driver is in use | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | raphink, I'm looking in synaptic for quassel , do I install the client and the core or... ? | 15:02 |
| raphink | BluesKaj: it depends on what you want | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | want? | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | what do they mean by core anyway ? | 15:03 |
| raphink | BluesKaj: if you only want a standalone system, install "quassel", if you want to use the distributed functionality, you can install quassel-core (server) and/or quassel-client (the GUI) | 15:03 |
| raphink | in my case, I have quassel-core installed at home, and quassel-client instaled at work | 15:03 |
| raphink | so I connect to my core at home from work | 15:03 |
| raphink | that's what's interesting with quassel | 15:03 |
| raphink | I have another quassel-client at home, connect to the its local core | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | so what benefit is that, like a server over irc ? | 15:04 |
| raphink | so both clients are connected to the same core | 15:04 |
| raphink | this way I'm connected only once to freenode, and I see the same conversation/history in both places | 15:04 |
| raphink | when I leave work, if someone talks to me on IRC | 15:04 |
| raphink | I will see it when I get home | 15:04 |
| raphink | and vice versa | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | well, I'm retired so I connect from one , altho i suppose if i decide to use the laptop in a diff part of the house that might be an option | 15:05 |
| raphink | BluesKaj: apart from that special functionality, it also uses KDE4 libraries | 15:07 |
| raphink | while konversation uses KDE3 | 15:07 |
| raphink | so that's also good for me, since konversation was the last bit of KDE3 still running in my session | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, but I still like konversation a lot | 15:07 |
| raphink | I liked konversation a lot too :) | 15:08 |
| raphink | until yesterday :) | 15:08 |
| raphink | BluesKaj: the newer version of quassel also supports proxies, which is good for khaldmian | 15:10 |
| raphink | unfortunately, I didn't know the earlier version didn't | 15:11 |
| raphink | khaldmian: do you want me to tell you how to install a newer verions? | 15:11 |
| raphink | version | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, interesting client , I guess :) | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | raphink, I prefer having the chat channel indicaors as tabs on the bottom ...what's the fix for that ? | 15:28 |

| raphink | sven_: there's a plasmoid that lets you see the contents of a folder | 17:11 |
| raphink | for example, your ~/Desktop | 17:11 |
| raphink | once you use this plasmoid, you can put shortcuts in this folder | 17:11 |
| raphink | so they will appear on your desktop | 17:12 |
| sven_ | quick access, | 17:12 |
| raphink | you can also use the quick launcher plasmoid for that | 17:12 |

| raphink | but quick access can be used too | 17:12 |

| === snake_ is now known as albuntu | ||
| aaroncampbell | tomek: What the heck was with the PM? | 17:26 |
| Neremor | -s ?? | 17:26 |
| noir_lord | kill -s just allows you to send a particular signal to a process, in this case kill | 17:27 |
| noir_lord | its functionally the same as kill 9 | 17:27 |
| Neremor | thanks :) | 17:27 |
| Neremor | that worked, now i don't have to restart my pc anymore if pulseaudio crashes :) | 17:27 |
| Neremor | and that happens very often ;) | 17:27 |
| noir_lord | be wary of over using it though since you are sending SIGKILL and thats untrappable | 17:29 |
| noir_lord | any resources allocated to the process may not be released | 17:29 |
| noir_lord | including temporary files and other state data | 17:29 |
| freeRag | this channel is buzzier then M$ core developers channel :) | 17:30 |
| freeRag | SIGKILL sounds like danger too me | 17:31 |
| noir_lord | its not optimal to use it but sometimes you have little choice, as with most *nix commands improperly used you can blow your own foot off | 17:32 |

| noir_lord | sudo cp <filename> /usr/share/virtualbox not work? | 17:48 |
| bukharin | box doesn't reply to pings, fully dead... | 17:48 |
| user74 | thanks lord | 17:49 |
| user74 | hehehe jebus save me i just getting forget the commands | 17:49 |
| noir_lord | bukharin, normally you would start with /var/log/messages I think unless you suspect some other subsytem of causing the crash | 17:50 |
| bukharin | noir_lord: ok, will look into that. i'm suspecting a hw failure, as it is completely dead, no mouse, no nothing. | 17:50 |
| bukharin | should a busted ram or hd appear in messages? | 17:51 |
| === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ | ||
| noir_lord | bukharin, possible, also have a look in /var/log/dmesg | 17:51 |
| bukharin | aha... and how can i determine if the messages are from the past session or the new one? | 17:52 |
| bukharin | do the logs get rotated on boot? | 17:52 |
| noir_lord | bukarin, not sure what the behaviour is on Ubuntu/Kubuntu but normally yes | 17:54 |
| bukharin | ok, so i can expect to find an older log with a timestamp corresponding with the lock up? | 17:54 |
| user74 | brb | 17:54 |
| bukharin | (sorry for the many questions, but i want to know how to preserve the onfo before presing the reset button...) | 17:55 |
| bukharin | info* | 17:55 |
| noir_lord | bukharin, make a folder in your home directory then copy all the output from /var/log to that | 17:55 |
| noir_lord | directory in your home directory* (too many years of windows) | 17:55 |
| bukharin | noir_lord: sorry, could you develop? | 17:57 |
| bukharin | you mean, rebbot, and inmeadiately copy all contents of var/log somewhere? | 17:57 |
| noir_lord | bukharin, is the system completely frozen? | 17:58 |
| bukharin | yep. | 17:59 |
| === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter | ||
| bukharin | stone cold dead. not even beeps when i move the mouse. | 17:59 |
| noir_lord | bukharin, then restarting will stomp over some of the stuff in /log at the moment, if you want to preserve that then if it was me I'd boot of a LiveCD/USB Drive, mount the partition and copy the files | 17:59 |
| bukharin | i haven't re-cycled it yet... i want to ensure i save all relevatn info :P | 17:59 |
| bukharin | aha! good idea. | 18:00 |
| bukharin | yes, i think i will do just that. thx a bunch for the tip | 18:00 |
| noir_lord | not a problem, hope it helps :) | 18:00 |
| bukharin | i hope my ram didn't fry or something :S | 18:00 |
| bukharin | see youlater, i'm sure to come back for help deciphering the contents of the logs :D | 18:01 |
| bukharin | ok, doing good, box passed POST with no warnings... at least i have ram still :) | 18:03 |
| noir_lord | if you suspect the ram try running memtest86 | 18:05 |

| noir_lord | it was designed for the purpose, it checks every byte by writing specific patterns of bits, it can find really obscure memory errors, its not infallible but its useful to rule out certain kinds of problems | 18:16 |
| bukharin | noir_lord, ok, will look into that too. | 18:18 |

| === DarkSmoke is now known as DS-Gaming | ||
| bukharin | ok, i have the logs... but i can'f find anything in messages or syslog | 18:22 |
| bukharin | could kdm or X hang the machine like that? | 18:22 |
| noir_lord | have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you suspect x11 | 18:24 |
| noir_lord | grep for '(EE)' if its a long log file | 18:24 |
| bukharin | nothing there either | 18:24 |

| noir_lord | buk, its possible it crashed so hard/fast it didnt have time to output to the logs, has this system been previously stable? | 18:26 |
| bukharin | now that you mention it, i seem to recall something similar a few days before. but yes, in general it has been rock stable. | 18:27 |
| ubuntu | привет всем, помогите пож-та, слетела виста пришлось грузиться с Live CD, как востановить не теряя данные? | 18:27 |
| noir_lord | changed any drivers/hardware recently? | 18:27 |
| bukharin | intrepid messed up a few things, though, but hadn't produced system locks until now | 18:27 |
| bukharin | mmm, nop | 18:27 |
| bukharin | unless something managed to get through apt... but i usually check the updates. | 18:28 |
| noir_lord | has found Kubuntu 8.10 to be a bit unstable at best, had a couple of X crashes and KDE 4.1 was about as stable as britney spears | 18:28 |
| bukharin | well, i have had some stability issues in specific things... i dont know, dolphin crashung when moving files, or plasma crashiung and restarting from time to time... | 18:29 |
| noir_lord | upgrading to the nvidia 180 drivers and switching to the RC for KDE 4.2 has (ironically considering its an RC) been much more stable | 18:29 |
| bukharin | but a full system lock? not even mouse or keyboard responding? | 18:29 |
| bukharin | well, i think that i will wipe the system and start ove with jaunty. | 18:30 |
| bukharin | i just want to make sure that neither the ram or the hd failed... | 18:30 |
| noir_lord | buk, Ive only seen that happen twice running linux (once with Kubuntu and once with slackware), the time with Kubuntu I never figured out the problem, the time with slackware the fan had failed and the processor was melting | 18:30 |
| noir_lord | important lesson, dont use cheap fans on the processor, do install thermal managment software and dont disable thermal warnings in the bios heh | 18:31 |
| bukharin | well, i only seen it once on windows.... and it was a hd failure. "click" and then nothing. but i still use that hd :P | 18:31 |
| bukharin | not on this box, though | 18:31 |
| noir_lord | bukharin, if you suspect the HD most manufacturers have software you can run from a boot disk that will run their diagnostics against the suspect drive | 18:32 |
| bukharin | he, i got a pound of thermaltake copper sitting on my cpu | 18:32 |
| tue | Hello, is there a command i can type to find out what chipset my computer uses? | 18:32 |

| noir_lord | tue, lspci | 18:32 |
| bukharin | well. it seems i won't find anything on the logs. will reboot to memtest86, and see if i can get some good hd stress tests around | 18:33 |
| bukharin | thanks for the help... | 18:33 |
| noir_lord | bukharin, no problem | 18:33 |
| tue | noir_lord: this is the output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/108329/ does this mean i have a 945g chipset? because lenovos page about my computer says its either a 975, 955 or 965 :-(. | 18:36 |
| tue | noir_lord: its because im trying to buy some ram and then i need to find out how much it can address. | 18:36 |
| noir_lord | tue, dual booting the machine with windows? | 18:36 |
| tue | noir_lord: yah | 18:36 |
| noir_lord | tue, crucial.com has a neat little utility (windows only) that will tell you what the maximum amount of ram your system can utilise is | 18:37 |
| tue | noir_lord: ah, this is really cool :-) . you know if its reliable? i suppose i can also try the device manager in windows and see if it says something about the chipset. | 18:38 |
| tue | noir_lord: just feels silly to trust windows with something like this ;-) | 18:38 |
| noir_lord | tue, I've been recommending it to customers for a while, if its not reliable then I'd be in a world of hurt by now ;) | 18:38 |
| tue | noir_lord: okay, thats all i need :-) . thanks a lot for the help! | 18:39 |

| venik212 | The Nvidia 177 driver messes up under Kubuntu 8.10 on my HP 64 bit machine (kde 4.1)-- it leaves lines all over the place, and shows great hesitation. WIthout it, however, I cannot get desktop effects.... ;-( | 18:40 |
| noir_lord | venik, tried 180? | 18:40 |
| venik212 | I did not know they had 180. I got 177 from the window that popped up when I clicked on Hardware Drivers | 18:41 |
| noir_lord | nvidia-glx-180 | 18:41 |
| noir_lord | its nearly current its 180.11 (current on nvidia.com is 180.22) | 18:42 |
| venik212 | where do I get it and how do I install it? | 18:42 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest5271 | ||
| noir_lord | iirc its in the normal repos, so it should just be sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-180 | 18:42 |
| noir_lord | for some reason it doesnt show up under the hardware driver managment tool but its in the repo's | 18:43 |
| venik212 | thanks-- I shall try it | 18:43 |
| === apachelogger is now known as apachelogger_ | ||
| noir_lord | I had major problems with 177 but 180 has been much more reliable (Im on an AMD64x2 running 32bit Kubuntu and a 7600GT) | 18:44 |

| === DS-Gaming is now known as DarkSmoke | ||
| noir_lord | venik, I had a few kmix crashes as well but I dont think it had anything to do with the nvidia drivers, it was just unstable from the start with 8.10 | 18:48 |
| cp | hola | 18:48 |
| hyper__ch | which version of it? | 18:48 |
| venik212 | I agree-- I saw the same thing | 18:48 |
| cp | cesar | 18:48 |
| noir_lord | I did something I dont normally do and ran a RC on a production system (KDE4.2RC) and its *much* better | 18:49 |
| cp | good bye | 18:49 |
| venik212 | However, I still have those weird lines when the screen saver kicks in | 18:49 |
| noir_lord | describe the lines | 18:50 |
| venik212 | noir-- can you explain what you mean by RC? Reconfigure? if so, how? | 18:50 |
| venik212 | an empty square or two | 18:50 |
| noir_lord | RC == Release Candidate | 18:50 |
| fhensley | RC = Release Candidate version | 18:50 |
| noir_lord | the final version they release before the release the "final" version | 18:50 |
| venik212 | oh.... I would have thought that the final release would be better. Was that wrong? | 18:51 |
| noir_lord | typically an RC sits between a Beta and a Final Release (unless your Microsoft then you just release the Beta and what should be the RC is called Service Pack 1) | 18:51 |
| noir_lord | venik, there isnt a final release of KDE4.2 yet (its not due till end of the month) | 18:51 |
| venik212 | I can live with this, but I hate the delay that I feel when I click on an application. It was not there until I install the proprietary driver | 18:52 |
| noir_lord | venik212 its possible its one of the compositing effects misbehaving, try switching them off and seeing if that helps | 18:52 |

| venik212 | THis seeems to be an old bug (2005?), but it is still with us | 18:54 |
| noir_lord | venik212, if you want to play with the compositing options for kwin, Alt+F3 and then Configure Window Behaviour , they are in there | 18:57 |
| noir_lord | to be honest I turned all of them off pretty much (eye candy just slows things down) | 18:57 |
| === DarkSmoke is now known as DS-Away | ||
| venik212 | I do this through the system settings | 18:58 |
| noir_lord | shrugs, same result thats just the way I get to the options quickly | 18:58 |
| venik212 | Yes, things are much faster without the effects, but I sort of liked them, and thought that with the right driver, things will work just fine | 19:00 |
| JackWinter | i have 8.10 in a vbox. thought it might be a good idea to install the virtual kernel. now /boot/grub/menu.lst shows the server kernel installed while adept show the virtual kernel installed. any ideas ? | 19:01 |

| J_A_X | yes | 19:02 |
| noir_lord | J_A_X, when you add a widget one of the ones on the list is "Simple Digital Clock" | 19:03 |
| noir_lord | add that then right click on it, Digital Clock Settings, then select "Show Date" | 19:03 |

| bukharin | files* | 20:41 |
| lakis1982 | i have an old pc that i will change now and i was thinking to make it as a server inside my home network ... so that all my files are stored there ... is it better if a buy an external ethernet hard disk case and mount two hard disks inside ??? | 20:42 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982: if i were you, i'd get one of those SAN boxes where you can hotplug a bunch of satas into raid... | 20:43 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982 but they can set you back a coupleo' hundred... | 20:44 |
| bukharin | or, alternatively, you can buy a good sata controller card, and plug the drives directly into your old box... which would be like building your own san box, actually :) | 20:45 |
| lakis1982 | yes | 20:45 |
| lakis1982 | but whihc solution would be better. which one would achieve better transfer speeds ? | 20:46 |
| paolo_ | hi. I upgraded kde4.1 to 4.2 RC1 as suggested in the topic but something caused a mess in apt. now, when I try to install a new package, apt doesn't work and tells me to do "apt-get -f install". I have no result if I do this last operation... what should I do ? | 20:46 |
| lakis1982 | in may reviews i have heard that most san boxes do not have good transfer speeds .... maximum 15mb/sec... | 20:46 |
| Jado | hi, i need some help : if i choose the 640x480 resolution (xrandr --size 640x480 or nvidia-settings), the desktop does not appear entirely on my screen and i can't see the bottom part of it. With other resolutoins, such as 800x600 or 1280x800, i can see all the desktop and not only a part ; i've tried xrandr --size 640x480 --rate 60 but my laptop screen does not support this refresh rate. | 20:48 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982: usualñly, when you have a san box or the like, all traffic is done through a network interface, and that is usually the bottleneck. | 20:48 |
| bukharin | traitionally, you'd plug the san as an exported nfs filesystem... | 20:49 |
| mooperd | I want to use the latest version of asterisk from svn, is there anything I should do before doing this or should it just work? | 20:49 |
| mooperd | should I uninstall it first for instance? | 20:49 |
| bukharin | but the important question is... you want good tranfer rates between whcih points of the network? | 20:49 |
| lakis1982 | between my everyday pc and the server ... | 20:50 |
| Muzer | argh, I miss katapult | 20:50 |
| Muzer | why was it removed from the repos? | 20:50 |
| paolo_ | please help me :) | 20:50 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982, well, in that case, traffic is going to be through the network, and the ethernet link will be the main bottleneck. | 20:50 |
| lakis1982 | and what does this mean ? | 20:51 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982, the alternative i mentioned would imply differente tr between the server and the bunch o disks... | 20:51 |
| techbw | hi I am back, managed to get Flash9 running again, when I was installing flash on a remote pc I must have done somthing locally, cos the file was a newer file that it should have been. All I did was copy the .so file back into /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/plugins directory, because it does not work if you run the setup file included, cos then it wants to install to /usr/lib/mozilla | 20:51 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982: it means that is not so relevant | 20:52 |
| bukharin | Iaki1982: with the same box acting as SAN and network router/server, that box is going to have good transfer rates to disk. | 20:52 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982. with two boxes, one acting as server and the other as SAN, you will have somewhat slower transfger rates between disk and server... | 20:53 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982 but in both cases your pc would conect to the disk through ethernet, either PC -> server -> san or PC -> server/san | 20:54 |
| === deniz is now known as Guest79423 | ||
| lakis1982 | yes but i think that if i make the old pc a server and i connect it to the router , and also connect to the router my everyday pc that i use , that transfer rates would be better.... | 20:55 |
| bukharin | ok, now i know how to ask my question in better terms: anyone knows a good personal document management system for KDE? | 20:55 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982: as opposed to? | 20:56 |

| bukharin | Iakis1982: you have many options for the layout of a lan. i thought that ou were asking about wether to get another box to handle the disks, or handle them directly with your old box... | 21:04 |
| mooperd | is there anything I should consider when compiling and installing asterisk from svn on my kubuntu 8.10 install? | 21:04 |
| bukharin | Iakis1982 i don't think youll get a vast improvement in tranfer speed between those two, its main features would lie in security, redundancy, etc. | 21:04 |

| techbw | BluesKaj: Thanks for the help just now, I managed to get flash working, had to copy the .so file for flash into the kubuntu mozilla directory, for some reason it sees /usr/lib/mozilla as install directory in the installer, but it actually is /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/ | 21:07 |
| paolo_ | hi. I upgraded kde4.1 to 4.2 RC1 as suggested in the topic but something caused a mess in apt. now, when I try to install a new package, apt doesn't work and tells me to do "apt-get -f install". I have no result if I do this last operation... what should I do ? | 21:08 |
| BluesKaj | right techbw , that's an old prob , are you running an older version of kubuntu ? | 21:08 |
| techbw | I am running Kubuntu 8.04 | 21:08 |
| techbw | still downloading 8.10 alternate | 21:09 |
| techbw | want to try upgrading instead of clean install...have never done that before | 21:09 |
| BluesKaj | paolo_ try this, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 21:10 |
| BluesKaj | upgrading works well | 21:10 |
| mooperd | BluesKaj: What type of problems and will they be reversable? | 21:11 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: nothing solved :( | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | paolo_ , then try sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:13 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: neither... | 21:13 |
| BluesKaj | do you have a package manager open somewhere | 21:14 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: no | 21:15 |
| BluesKaj | paolo , have you updated apt since you upgraded kde ? | 21:16 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: I can't update anything | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | paolo_ can you open adept ? | 21:17 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: yes | 21:17 |
| paolo_ | synaptic too | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | ok, then make sure you r thirdparty sources are open and make the cdrom source is not...it could be interfering | 21:21 |
| carmen | ciao | 21:22 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: and which is the cdrom one ? so I can comment out it from the source list | 21:22 |

| vincent__ | Hi guys, I have a question about Dragon Player: it always starts with a video as small as a stamp and I always have to resize it manually. When opening the same with gmplayer, it will adapt to the video default size. How can I have the same behavior with Dragon Player? | 21:28 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: it's already commented | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok, paolo_ , then I'm stumped ...but maybe a reboot will help , dunno for sure | 21:29 |
| bukharin | usuario_ yo hablo español | 21:29 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: I've tried all... thanks anyway for your help | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | sry we couldn't solve it, paolo_ :P | 21:30 |
| paolo_ | BluesKaj: don't worry | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | vincent__ , may I suggest you try Kaffeine instead | 21:31 |
| vincent__ | Dragon player is the default one... But I can try, yes. Why do you prefer Kaffeine? | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | more mature, more options and more stable , vincent__ | 21:34 |
| david_edmundson | vincent__: it's a bug in Dragon Player | 21:35 |
| david_edmundson | it's been fixed - but only in the past week | 21:35 |
| david_edmundson | it won't make it into 4.2 | 21:35 |
| david_edmundson | it will be in 4.2.1 | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | I have it in 4.2 , david_edmundson | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | but i don't bother with it | 21:36 |
| wesley_ | I have a problem with amsn, i cant set the brightness right | 21:36 |
| david_edmundson | the patch isn't in 4.2.0 | 21:36 |
| david_edmundson | BluesKaj: what would Dragon need for you to bother with it? | 21:38 |
| david_edmundson | this may be a bit off topic so jump to #dragonplayer | 21:38 |
| wesley_ | Why arent my contacts in msn in kopete getting a cam invite when i invite them ? | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | kaffeine is fine in my experience , my alternative is usually VLC | 21:39 |
| === Axis- is now known as Axis | ||
| vincent__ | OK, then I think I will stick with gnome-mplayer or try VLCk, I like simple and kafeine looks too cluttered... | 21:39 |

| david_edmundson | it'll have the fixes | 21:39 |
| david_edmundson | many fixes in fact | 21:39 |

| lakis1982 | ? | 23:23 |
| fliegenderfrosch | lakis1982: just a wild guess, but it is possible that it changes when the gnome settings are changed, as firefox uses GTK afaik | 23:23 |

| fliegenderfrosch | lakis1982: i know. (you probably mean 8.04 or 8.10). but firefox happens to be a gtk program, and they usually use the gnome settings afaik | 23:26 |
| lakis1982 | so i cant change the fonts in menubar etc ?? | 23:28 |

| fliegenderfrosch | lakis1982: maybe you could look there | 23:30 |
