| khalidmian | hubar: what did u want to use pulse audio for | 01:56 |

| hubar | dtchen: err, PA was easy to install and get it to work under ubuntu, :( So what is a good sound server program for KDE? | 01:59 |
| dtchen | hubar: phonon does an admirable job by default | 02:00 |
| dtchen | that said, phonon certainly is capable of using xine-lib or GSt configured to PulseAudio | 02:01 |

| Anarch | kdesudo not found on fresh install of kubuntu-desktop onto an existing Gutsy. Tips? | 02:39 |
| mefisto__ | cjae: sudo mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.backup (which renames .kde to .kde.backup) but do that when not logged in to kde | 02:39 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: I think kdesudo came with hardy. is there kdesu ? | 02:40 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: checking ... | 02:41 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: kdesu is a symlink to kdesudo under Gutsy kubuntu. | 02:42 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: tried installing it? | 02:42 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Yes, but it's already up-to-date. So I did --reinstall, and now I'm about to check the result after reboot. | 02:44 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: BTW, this is coming up because I'm trying to fix the screen rez. Of course, what I'd really like to do is fix it by editing a config file, but I've never found the text file in which KDE stores its default rez. (I'd better fix kdesudo anyway though.) | 02:45 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Same problem after --reinstall then reboot. | 02:46 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: does the file /usr/bin/kdesudo exist? | 02:50 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Yes. /usr{,/X11R6}/bin/kdesudo are hardlinks of the same file. | 02:51 |

| Tinason | kde 4.2 is released tomorrow. how long b4 it hits repositories? | 02:56 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: don't know if it will make any difference, but you could maybe try downloading the deb and installing that way: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i386/kdesudo/download | 02:56 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Well, it's a thought ... I'll probably try it ... but it'd also be super-cool to know how to change the kubuntu-desktop screen resolution by editing a config file, because doing that with sudo will Just Work. Any idea in what file that resolution is stored? | 02:57 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: I think it's just xorg.conf but that is not specific to kde. you already have ubuntu/gnome installed right? | 03:00 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Yes, Gnome is installed and already knows that I want 1280x1024. | 03:01 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: I've had this problem continuously since Feisty: every reboot requires fixing screen rez by hand. The problem of kdesudo not working is new. kdesu does work under Feisty. | 03:02 |

| ohhai | Hi, I'm running ALSA 1.0.17 on my Kubuntu 8.10, 32 bit, which in turn runs on my ASUS W3J laptop with HD-Audio Intel card that is identified as AD198x. In most of the settings for alsa-base I get situation 1) sound output working, but no sound input. The only time when sound input seems to work is with the 2) "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack", but then, ironically, sound output stops working. My laptop has only two jacks (one for microphone, | 03:06 |

| orest | hi guys, sorry if this is not the right channel, how can i program java for my mobile? | 03:08 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: On Gutsy I can't set the rez at all because the only way I know to do it is a GUI that fails because kdesudo fails. On Feisty, I can set it, but it is lost on reboot. | 03:08 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: krandrtray is a panel applet that lets you change resolution | 03:10 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: I'll try that. BTW, I'm trying Konsole:`kcontrol &`, | 03:10 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: wait ... actually, I'm trying `sudo kcontrol &` in an xterm, | 03:11 |
| laptop | favor -- im using kubuntu --- any site for compaq v3617tu driver for WiFi -- hard to find one | 03:11 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: and that gets me the config screen, but when I "change" resolutions, nothing happens. | 03:11 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: does /etc/X11/xorg.conf have any resolution settings in it? | 03:12 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Section "Screen" lists many settings from 256x256 up to 1280x1024; 1280x1024 is first, and nothing anywhere in the file suggests that 1024x768 should receive preeminence. This is why I believe there's some other text file determining it. | 03:14 |

| mefisto__ | Anarch: krandrtray is probably already installed. I think it's part of kcontrol, and you said you have that | 03:23 |
| JohnFlux | LinuxHack3r: don't think so | 03:23 |
| LinuxHack3r | JohnFlux: Any alternative? | 03:23 |
| mefisto__ | LinuxHack3r: alt-F2, pretty much the same functionality | 03:23 |
| LinuxHack3r | mefisto__: For the most part...correct. | 03:24 |
| mefisto__ | LinuxHack3r: I read somewhere that the katapult dev intends to retire it and contribute to whatever the alt-F2 thing is called if some katapult functions are missing | 03:25 |

| Anarch | mefisto__: does find stuff; so does `man displayconfig`; experimenting ... | 03:27 |
| LinuxHack3r | mefisto__: Cool...that'lll do ok. Katapult was cool..but if alt-f2 was to make it so that it reads the menu items...then ok. I just have added a few menu items and such..I'll just have to do something else though. | 03:28 |
| juacom99 | hi | 03:31 |
| juacom99 | does someone knows how to put the kmenu panel back down | 03:32 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: displayconfig is the module that kde uses to change display settings. it should look the same whether it's from kcontrol, system settings, or started simply with "displayconfig" | 03:33 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Right, it does. I ran it by hand ... and it nuked my rez down to 640x480, and after reboot no higher option is offered! | 03:34 |

| mefisto__ | Hiryu: there's kxgenerator but I've never used it | 03:46 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: maybe kxgenerator is something worth looking into? | 03:46 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: I'm saving all your suggestions and will try them, but I don't like these black boxes. BBs are only useful if they Just Work; when they Just Fail, they're major work-stoppers. I'm diddling xorg.conf now, guessing modelines. | 03:48 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: The fact that my config got nuked down to 640x480 /MAY/ indicate that the default is truly in xorg.conf, but I can't tell. The most recent backup the system saved is from 15 minutes ago. I still really need to know about any text config files KDE keeps that'd allow me to do configuration with vi instead of these failing GUIs. | 03:50 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: gtf 1280 1024 60 will give you correct modelines for 1280x1024 @60 | 03:51 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Thank you ... I suspect I need @50, based on how the GUI behaved when I tried to take it up to 1280x1024. | 03:51 |
| cjae | anyone catch my pastebin | 03:52 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: /me reads `man xorg.conf` to find out what "gtf" means ... "get this fixed" maybe. | 03:53 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Pattern not found | 03:53 |
| juacom99 | cjae: i read it buy i don't know what could be | 03:57 |
| mefisto__ | Anarch: gtf apparently is generalised timing formula | 03:57 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Interesting that it wasn't mentioned in `man xorg.conf`. | 03:58 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Too late now ... rebooting with a mad savage hack of a restored xorg.conf ... | 03:58 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Not unexpectedly, this hack brought me back up with KDM displaying 1280x1024, then KDE desktop reverting to 1024x768. This is what used to happen on Feisty. I conclude that KDE has its own file telling which rez I want, and I haven't found where that file is. | 04:00 |

| mefisto__ | Firefishe: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and find # defoptions=splash and remove "splash" from default kernel options | 04:19 |
| mefisto__ | Firefishe: then when it's saved, sudo update-grub | 04:19 |
| Firefishe | mefisto__: Thank you. And just add it again if I want it back? | 04:19 |
| mefisto__ | Firefishe: then check menu.lst to make sure update-grub changed all your kernel lines to not include "splash" | 04:20 |
| Anarch | mefisto__: Yes, editing ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc worked to change my per-user screen rez. Also, another clue I found and saved many moons ago: /etc/usplash.conf contains the /default/ screen rez for the system startup. | 04:20 |
| mefisto__ | Firefishe: yes, anything in that defoptions line will be added to every kernel line in grub, but you have to "update-grub" after editing | 04:21 |

| mason | Could somebody help me to install kde 4.1.4? | 05:31 |
| mason | I got kubuntu with kde 4.1.3, so I've never done this before... | 05:31 |
| mason | Could somebody help me to install kde 4.1.4? | 05:37 |
| mefisto__ | Firefishe: did you get your menu.lst done? | 05:44 |
| Firefishe | mefisto__: Yeah, it's done, but I can't reboot right now to test it out. :) | 05:45 |
| Firefishe | mefisto__: One thing that I'm wondering about. If I kill the 'quiet' and leave the 'splash,' what will that do? | 05:46 |
| mefisto__ | Firefishe: quiet is supposed to suppress some messages (with or without "splash") so "spash" without "quiet" should give you the progress bar with some messages underneath it. you could also replace "quiet" with "verbose" but I think just removing "quiet" is the same as "verbose" | 05:49 |
| Firefishe | mefisto__: Thank you for that. I'm now able to reboot and test it out. I've always wondered how to configure this, so now is as good a time as any. | 05:49 |
| mason | Could somebody help me to install kde 4.1.4? | 05:50 |

| progmanos | why use kde 4.1.4 when you could use 4.2 (which is more stable and feature complete)? | 05:57 |
| mefisto__ | mason: I don't have intrepid/kde4 and I've never done this upgrade, but I could try if you're willing | 05:57 |
| mason | mefisto__: Sure, that'd be really cool. You'd have a better chance than me xD | 05:57 |

| mason | hoold on a second I think progmanos just kicked my ass in terms of not being an idiot xD | 05:59 |
| progmanos | i would seriously skip 4.1.4 and upgrade to 4.2. it's so much better | 06:00 |
| mason | Is it the same way to upgrade? | 06:00 |
| mason | Or is it harder? | 06:00 |

| mason | I'll be right back to find out if it worked :) | 06:08 |

| mason | It didn't work :'( | 06:10 |

| mefisto__ | progmanos: but ardour is excellent | 06:11 |

| progmanos | tell* | 06:11 |
| progmanos | lol | 06:11 |

| DaSkreech | Dumb bot | 06:14 |
| mason | By the way, what does restarting x mean? | 06:14 |
| mefisto__ | mason: I think koffice-kde4 is what you want to remove, then sudo apt-get autoremove | 06:14 |
| DaSkreech | mason: Logout then press alt=E | 06:14 |
| mason | I know how, but what's it mean? | 06:14 |
| DaSkreech | alt+E | 06:14 |
| DaSkreech | mason: It means shutting down X and starting it back | 06:15 |
| mason | X? | 06:15 |
| mason | Umm | 06:15 |
| DaSkreech | !X | 06:15 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 06:15 |
| mason | Aah | 06:15 |
| DaSkreech | In UNIX everything is broken up into small parts | 06:15 |
| mason | So, restarting X would be for when I don't need to restart the entire actual computer? | 06:15 |
| DaSkreech | So your GUI is done by a program Which is called X | 06:16 |
| DaSkreech | X.org in this case | 06:16 |
| DaSkreech | mason: As long as it's in the GUI. Restarting X won't help your Web Server any but will give you nice fonts | 06:16 |

| mason | progmanos: How do I get myself to login as root? | 07:27 |
| OxDeadC0de | mason you don't want to login as root, just use sudo | 07:27 |
| progmanos | to KDE as root? | 07:27 |
| progmanos | i don't recommend it | 07:28 |
| progmanos | follow OxDeadC0de's advice | 07:28 |
| mason | hmm | 07:28 |
| mason | I need to get the hddtemp dameon to work (or something.... I'm pretty lost) | 07:28 |
| OxDeadC0de | mason sudo apt-get install httpd | 07:28 |
| mason | E: Package httpd has no installation candidate | 07:29 |
| OxDeadC0de | sry, apt-get install apache2 .. if you want php, and mysql you may want to look into setting up an ubuntu LAMP | 07:29 |
| OxDeadC0de | there's a program already on ubuntu i forget what it's called though that lets you install everything for apache/php/mysql with a single press of return | 07:30 |
| OxDeadC0de | and mason, get used to "aptitude search some-program" (or use kpackage or adept depending on if you're in 4.2 or 4.1 respectively) (with some-program replaced with apache, mp3, whatever..) | 07:31 |
| progmanos | lamp-server | 07:31 |
| progmanos | it's under tasks in aptitude | 07:31 |
| OxDeadC0de | I like aptitude :P | 07:32 |
| mason | There's a serach option? woeh I had no idea xD | 07:33 |
| mason | This makes things... | 07:33 |
| mason | somewhat easier | 07:33 |
| OxDeadC0de | way easy for me :P | 07:33 |
| progmanos | yeah, aptitude rocks | 07:33 |
| OxDeadC0de | lot better than going to some website, find the downloads page, navigate through ad's etc, finally get the archive, download it, clck open, walk through install process | 07:34 |
| OxDeadC0de | move on to next | 07:34 |
| progmanos | for some reason, synaptic, adept, and smartpm refuse to show realplayer (and certain other packages) as available for installation but aptitude does! | 07:35 |
| mason | I'm getting pidgin xD I honestly do NOT like kopete | 07:35 |
| OxDeadC0de | odd, for me synaptic always shows everything, don't use adept much except for updates sometimes (but in 4.2 it's gone replaced with kpackage i think) | 07:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | lachniet? can't be.. can it? | 07:36 |
| progmanos | i still have adept with 4.2 | 07:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | oh hmm, nvr mind then | 07:37 |
| stdin | kpackagekit is the plan | 07:37 |
| stdin | but it's under review currently | 07:38 |
| patmanpato | i just installed kde 4.1 on my ubuntu8.10, now i hear 4.2 is coming out in the next few days... is it likely to be easy to update ? | 07:38 |
| stdin | patmanpato: yes, probably available in intrepid-backports | 07:38 |
| OxDeadC0de | patmanpato yes and by me a very recommended update (I'm nobody though, i don't work for ubuntu or anything) | 07:38 |
| patmanpato | awesome :) | 07:38 |
| patmanpato | im already in love with kde 4.1 after 30 mins | 07:39 |
| patmanpato | it was interesting that upgrading from nvidia 177 to the 180 driver made a *massive* difference in kde 4.1 | 07:40 |
| OxDeadC0de | it kind of reminds me of windows in a way :| sad to say that, but I mean by all the bugs in it but it's still alright to use (4.1 that is.. 4.2 will have less bugs but I already know of a few that are being worked on or fixed and lots of untested stuff) | 07:40 |
| patmanpato | well it was a massive massive leap from 3.5 to 4, so i'm guessing the kde team are doing alright considering the circumstances | 07:41 |
| patmanpato | and considering microsoft has a lotttt of money to fund development :P | 07:42 |
| OxDeadC0de | oh yea I have nothing bad to say about the devel team at all, I like em :P, just wish QT and all the apps were put through the ringer a bit more stringently (valgrind etc) | 07:42 |
| OxDeadC0de | before calling it a release | 07:42 |
| Lynoure | After installing there was a Restricted driver thingy asking me if I want one. I closed it. How can I get it back? | 07:43 |
| patmanpato | i guess so :-) | 07:43 |
| stdin | QT is Quick Time, Qt is the too kit | 07:43 |
| OxDeadC0de | sorry, I should know that as I've been writing QGraphicsBlah a lot lately | 07:43 |
| stdin | and Qt is put through QA before release, by Trolltech/Nokia | 07:43 |
| patmanpato | is Qt pronounced "cutie" or "cute" ? | 07:43 |
| OxDeadC0de | "cute" | 07:43 |
| stdin | cute | 07:43 |
| patmanpato | oh ok, ill keep it in mind so i dont sound like an idiot when talking about it :p | 07:44 |
| OxDeadC0de | I'm sure they do, but i've already come acrossed numerous issues with variables being used in it under conditational circumstances without being initialized | 07:44 |
| stdin | OxDeadC0de: in Qt code? where? | 07:45 |
| OxDeadC0de | stdin mostly in their buggy qgraphics stuff | 07:45 |
| OxDeadC0de | stdin can make valgrind logs easily enough | 07:45 |
| stdin | valgrind isn't completely reliable | 07:45 |
| OxDeadC0de | but I'm not using trunk so I won't bug them, because it may have been fixed | 07:45 |
| stdin | but I think the QGraphics* stuff is begin developed more recently | 07:46 |
| OxDeadC0de | it's no secret qgrahpics stuff is buggy :P, and that's what plasma is | 07:46 |
| stdin | still, better than working in C code | 07:46 |
| OxDeadC0de | yeah, and 4.5 will ROCK!!! | 07:46 |
| OxDeadC0de | I can't get over it, the plasmoid I made for fun will be able to play youtube and other junk then | 07:47 |
| Lynoure | How do I open Restricted Drivers Manager in Kubuntu, or is there no such thing? | 07:47 |
| OxDeadC0de | Lynoure jockey-kde | 07:47 |
| stdin | KMenu -> System -> Hardware Drivers | 07:48 |
| progmanos | stdin: and gdb doesn't support reversible debugging yet | 07:49 |
| progmanos | http://sourceware.org/gdb/news/reversible.html | 07:49 |
| Lynoure | hmm, seems I cannot contact the xserver right now... better wait till the rsync ends, and fix that first | 07:49 |
| mason | What's the apt-get command to reinstall? | 07:50 |
| Lynoure | I think the rsync override my .Xauthority , as I did not think of that early enough. | 07:50 |
| stdin | mason: apt-get --reinstall install <package> | 07:51 |
| mason | stdin: Exactly like that? | 07:52 |
| stdin | mason: replacing "<package>" with the package you want to reinstall | 07:53 |
| mason | I know | 07:53 |
| mason | apt-get--reinstall install kopete doesn't work... | 07:54 |
| stdin | with sudo? | 07:54 |
| stdin | sudo apt-get --reinstall install kopete | 07:54 |

| dmmainou | hi guys, I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers from terminal and says I need the libc header and the precompiled kernell. can anyone point me int which apt get ... thing I heed thanks... | 11:21 |
| dmmainou | HI can someone help me to install the nvidia restricted drivers in terminal..... I have a blank screen | 11:25 |
| dapper-daniel | you can install nvidia-180-kdernel-source via apt or aptitude | 11:26 |
| dapper-daniel | it should bild the drivers for you | 11:26 |
| SlimeyPete | or you can just install one of the nvidia-glx binary packages | 11:27 |
| dmmainou | Ok so 'sudo apt-get nvidia-kdernel-source' ? | 11:28 |
| dapper-daniel | the version number is important | 11:28 |
| dapper-daniel | wait a second... | 11:28 |
| dapper-daniel | nvidia-glx-177 | 11:28 |
| dapper-daniel | -173 or -180 | 11:28 |
| dapper-daniel | or -96 | 11:28 |
| dapper-daniel | this should then also install the right nvidia-kernel-source | 11:29 |
| dmmainou | sudo apt-get nvidia-glx-177.80.22 ??? By the way I'm installing K 7.1 64 bit... | 11:30 |
| dapper-daniel | i'm not sure about the .80.22 | 11:31 |
| dapper-daniel | try both with .80.22 and if you get an error try without | 11:31 |
| dmmainou | I'll try 'sudo apt-get nvidia-glx-177' | 11:32 |
| dapper-daniel | looks good | 11:32 |
| jussi01 | youll need an "install" in there... | 11:32 |
| dapper-daniel | oh | 11:32 |
| dapper-daniel | right apt-get install ... | 11:33 |
| dmmainou | cant find the package | 11:33 |
| dmmainou | found it ..... sudo apt-get nvidia-glx-new | 11:34 |
| dapper-daniel | so now to my problems with nividia: | 11:34 |
| dmmainou | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 11:34 |
| dmmainou | do I need to do anything else when it finishes? | 11:35 |
| dapper-daniel | which drivers work with xen 3.3 and kernel 2.6.17.5? | 11:35 |
| dapper-daniel | 180 an 96 give me just black screens | 11:35 |
| dapper-daniel | compiling works fine | 11:35 |
| dapper-daniel | and i'm also able to load the module | 11:35 |
| dapper-daniel | but xorg then just shows a black screen | 11:36 |
| dapper-daniel | any ideas? | 11:36 |
| dmmainou | yes ... same problem... | 11:37 |
| dmmainou | no ... If I install 8.1 it works briliantly but the bloody pvr I want to un only works in 7.1 at the moment. | 11:38 |

| dmmainou | I want to install linuxmce which runs in 7.1 there is only an alpha version for 8.1. | 11:45 |
| dmmainou | I think I will try mythbuntu and try to install Asterisk in parallel.... but I don't knw if one will crash the other.... | 11:46 |
| dmmainou | don't have enough knowledge. | 11:46 |
| dapper-daniel | and what does not work with the nividia drivers? | 11:46 |
| dmmainou | Asus p5n7a-vm when I install 7.1 I have a blank screen ... just cant boot unless it is in recovery mode. | 11:47 |
| dmmainou | thus trying to install the drivers from terminal | 11:48 |
| dapper-daniel | do you use "nivida" in /etc/X11/xorg | 11:48 |
| dmmainou | I've tried both alternate cd's (64 &32) and both live cd's . | 11:48 |
| dmmainou | I'm not sure what you mean.... | 11:49 |
| dapper-daniel | so you cant even install? | 11:49 |
| jussi01 | dmmainou: linuxmce has different repositories than us, we dont support it. | 11:49 |
| jussi01 | !linuxmce | 11:49 |
| ubottu | The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 11:49 |
| dmmainou | ok at this point in time I have NOT installed linuxmce | 11:49 |
| dmmainou | I'm just trying to install 7.1 | 11:50 |
| dapper-daniel | and the live cd does not work right? | 11:50 |
| dmmainou | the live cd works fine once I install it goes to a blank screen | 11:50 |
| dapper-daniel | ok ok | 11:50 |
| dmmainou | I presume it is the nvidia drivers.... | 11:50 |
| dapper-daniel | so you tried to install the nividia drivers | 11:51 |
| dapper-daniel | you have to change the config for X | 11:51 |
| dmmainou | yes through apt get and through compiling with no joy. | 11:51 |
| dapper-daniel | "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 11:51 |
| dapper-daniel | there is a section drivers | 11:51 |
| dmmainou | guys... 1 q. | 11:51 |
| === andres_ is now known as epica | ||
| === epica is now known as andres__ | ||
| dapper-daniel | I think the problem is just that you have to tell Xorg to use the drivers | 11:52 |
| dapper-daniel | thats all | 11:52 |
| dapper-daniel | have you ever worked with nano (a small editor)? | 11:53 |
| dmmainou | ok let me try to reboot the thing again... | 11:53 |
| dapper-daniel | first you have to change the config! | 11:53 |
| === andres__ is now known as Moa | ||
| SlimeyPete | there's a script included in the nvidia-glx packages | 11:54 |
| SlimeyPete | nvidia-config or nvidia-setup IIRC | 11:54 |

| SlimeyPete | though in theory xorg should just auto-detect now | 11:54 |
| SlimeyPete | (on Intrepid) | 11:54 |
| dapper-daniel | dmmainou: are you still here? | 11:55 |
| dmmainou | hi yes... the computers are on different rooms | 11:56 |
| dapper-daniel | ok so edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:56 |
| dapper-daniel | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:56 |
| dmmainou | what do I change there | 11:57 |
| dapper-daniel | Section "DeviCE" | 11:57 |
| dapper-daniel | driver should be "nvidia" | 11:57 |
| dapper-daniel | not "nv" or "vesa" | 11:57 |
| dapper-daniel | change this and exit with Crtl+X | 11:58 |
| dapper-daniel | save changes Y | 11:58 |
| dapper-daniel | and then just hit ENTER | 11:58 |
| dapper-daniel | done? | 11:59 |
| dmmainou | ok it does say nvidia | 11:59 |
| dmmainou | done | 11:59 |
| dapper-daniel | it already did say nvidia? | 11:59 |
| dapper-daniel | or did you changed it? | 11:59 |
| dmmainou | it already said... tried startx and said no screens found. could it be that it's sending the display to the HDMA/DVI port rather than the vga? | 12:00 |

| ActionParsnip | cjae: opera rocks in ubuntu | 12:43 |
| cjae | its not listed anywhere in adept and cannot insall from command line either | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis | Opera i in the 3rd party/assoicates repository | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis | or go get it from the oprea web site | 12:44 |
| wesley_ | ive created a live usb, but i get boot error, someone knows how to solve this ? | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis | ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | ## 'partner' repository. This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | Partner repos have Opra - i belive. :) | 12:45 |
| cjae | well I would like to keep my kde install as gnome free as possible that's why I am opting for opera over firefox | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | wesley_, it will totally depend on the error | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | I finmd theres too many good gnome and kde apps to Limit myself to one or the other. | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | cjae: i just find it a better browser than firefox, its a shame loads of websites dont like it | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cjae: you could always install firepup, it runs in its own little folder and is snappy and doesnt need the gnome rubbish | 12:47 |
| wesley_ | Dr_willis, the error says :Boot error | 12:47 |
| juacom99 | is there any web to download more widgets for kde 4? | 12:48 |
| Dr_willis | wesley_, sounds like the boot loader is either not installed right.. or confogured right.. thtas just one step beyond an error message saying "its broke' :) | 12:48 |
| wesley_ | strange, either way, gues should try create a live usb from a ubuntu live cd, because i cant believe the memory stick is broken | 12:49 |
| cjae | is it because I have kde 4.2 that opera is not availiable because I have had all the repo's enabled for wuite some time | 12:50 |
| wesley_ | ive being creating them with usb-creator, worked, but till my little brother had the stick i needed to recreate it | 12:50 |
| cjae | how do I make irc text bigger in konversation | 12:51 |
| Dr_willis | wesley_, some times it can be an annoyance gettting the usb sticks bootable . | 12:51 |
| Dr_willis | wesley_, you may want to tyr the 'unetbootin' tool also | 12:52 |
| wesley_ | should see what that does | 12:52 |
| Dr_willis | I built my own '4 disrto' bootable thumb drive the other day. :) Ive learned a lot about syslinux | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | but im not sure what tool to boot the ubuntu boot usb thing uses. | 12:53 |

| Dr_willis | wesley_, and is it using syslinux or grub to boot? | 13:09 |
| wesley_ | there are syslinux maps | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | check that syslinux.cfg exists and try reinztalling syslinux on the thing | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | Usage: sudo syslinux /dev/device | 13:11 |
| wesley_ | does it install it then? | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | that will make sure syslinux is installed | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | your error 'Boot Error' sort of tells me that some how theres nobootloader on the device | 13:12 |
| wesley_ | can be, i almost bought a new usb stick from 16 gb for 20 euro, but i though i should fix that 1 gb thing | 13:13 |
| juacom99 | someone knows some web where i can download widgets for kde 4? | 13:15 |

| jillsmitt | http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=76039647pv6.jpg - why? | 16:21 |
| gorgonzola | ok, seems yuor system is not using the correct driver | 16:21 |
| gorgonzola | and it has reverted to mesa drivers. | 16:21 |
| jillsmitt | gorgonzola: driver from the disk | 16:21 |
| demarco | what do you suggest | 16:21 |
| jillsmitt | gorgonzola: when i use compixe artefacts gone, but i dont need compiz | 16:22 |
| gorgonzola | is this a first time install? | 16:22 |
| jillsmitt | no of course | 16:22 |
| gorgonzola | did you have the fglrx driver wroking before? | 16:22 |
| gorgonzola | sorry, that's for demarco :P | 16:23 |
| demarco | originally. yes | 16:23 |
| jillsmitt | gorgonzola: i dont know, but how can i check it? | 16:23 |
| demarco | tried to install drivers. i know things have gone awry since | 16:23 |
| gorgonzola | demarco: i have a radeon card, and i have had a lot of trouble in the past setting it up, but that *should* have been fixed... | 16:24 |
| DaSkreech | adrian_: try telnet | 16:24 |
| gorgonzola | demarco: i could give you some pointer on how to fix it, but the optimal solution would to get kubuntu to install and use the correct driver. since i have not have to deal with that in a long time, my advive might no be up to date... | 16:25 |
| demarco | fglrxinfo? | 16:25 |
| gorgonzola | fglrxinfo is an app that comes with fglrx. | 16:25 |
| demarco | located in synaptic package? | 16:25 |
| gorgonzola | if it throws that error, most likley fglrx is not properly installed, or is not being loaded correcrtly | 16:25 |
| Frozenball | Is Kubuntu stable? | 16:25 |
| adrian_ | DaSkreech: yeah i tryed /Telnet o [ip] | 16:26 |
| adrian_ | but it's like dead | 16:26 |
| Raylz | Frozenball: debian stable? | 16:26 |
| Frozenball | usable stable | 16:26 |
| DaSkreech | adrian_: Know the port? | 16:26 |
| Raylz | Frozenball: yes | 16:26 |
| DaSkreech | hi jono | 16:26 |
| adrian_ | mhmmmm the port should be 23 always | 16:26 |
| Frozenball | I have heard it uses KDE 4.x, is this correct? | 16:26 |
| Raylz | Frozenball: jep, it uses 4.1.4 but tomorrow 4.2 packges will be released | 16:27 |
| Raylz | so you can upgrade | 16:27 |
| demarco | i will format then :/ | 16:27 |
| Raylz | i hope so :) | 16:27 |
| demarco | thank you for your help | 16:27 |
| demarco | do you know what version of ubuntu has best graphical support? | 16:27 |
| gorgonzola | demardco: wll, that should not be necesary. | 16:27 |
| gorgonzola | i'm on intrepid and have had no issues... | 16:28 |
| Raylz | Frozenball: im using 4.2rc packages and it runs rly well | 16:28 |
| jono | hey DaSkreech :) | 16:28 |

| FuriousGeorge | mefisto__: i have a content filter in place that blocks communication on port80... you think that could be the cause? | 17:35 |

| spot_ | Sorry for talking danish! :-) | 17:49 |
| surgy | can anyone help me? | 17:50 |
| mefisto__ | spot_: cube is possible in 8.04, so I'm sure it will work in 8.10 | 17:50 |

| marcel_ | how can i get java, please... ? | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | so the emails are pulled down in the normal way (polling every now and again) but i'd love a web interface to teh stored mails, is that possible | 17:52 |
| tobor | marcel_: did you try apt-get install java? | 17:52 |

| mefisto__ | surgy: kde4? | 17:55 |

| FuriousGeorge | looks like java 6.10 has been available for a while... is it safe to say that it is never coming to kubuntu-8.0.4? | 17:56 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: you need to add a widget to the panel. I think you right-click (and unlock if it's locked) and then, add widgets | 17:57 |
| surgy | iok i got it | 17:57 |
| surgy | app luancher | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: kinda but the files storing the emails to be accessed via a web interface | 17:57 |
| surgy | ok thnx | 17:57 |
| surgy | mefisto__: also my screen seams to gitter every few seconds, any ideas as to what that could be? | 17:57 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: so you don't want the emails stored locally at all? | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: like thunderbird makes msf files for the account but i wanna access the files via web etc | 17:58 |
| surgy | how do you move an icon on the taskbar in kde4? | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: theyd be stored on a central box polling the account for new emails | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: doesnt have to be thunderbird, i dont mind changing email app | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | surgy: right click plasma, unlock icons, then drag them wherever | 17:59 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: sorry, not following you. but you know thunderbird can do gmail, right? | 18:00 |
| surgy | ActionParsnip: its not locked and not letting me drag anywhere.... | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: ok i'll break it down | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: you have a webmail account and it is being accessed by your chosen email app (kmail, thunderbird, whatever) | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: the emails are downloaded and put into the inbox storage file in some way and read by the client and displayed and all that fluff (normal email client stuff) | 18:01 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: I think I got you now. you want those downloaded mails to be accessible over the web on other machines | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: now, if I'm on another system and want access to those files | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: exactly | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: if there is a different client then i'm willing to change | 18:02 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: but you could get to the same mails by just using a browser, no? | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: i'd have my system removing the mail off the server | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: i could forward x but i kinda want it available any place | 18:04 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: I use thunderbird with gmail, and both tb and gmail web interface are in sync and have the same mails | 18:04 |

| Pconfig | i'd say* | 18:17 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: yes but the mails on your system will be the same as in the gmail browser interface. your tb and the gmail account will have the same content. that acheives what you want doesn't it? | 18:18 |
| surgy | Pconfig: i would have thought they would tell us the repo before it was actually released so we could add it to adept and have an automated update | 18:18 |

| The_Rebel | i have two displays hooked up.. usually i get two desktops with this configuration | 18:46 |
| Pconfig | The_Rebel: any reason why you want seperate xsessions? | 18:47 |
| x_link | Does nobody know? | 18:47 |
| The_Rebel | i get less tearing with two displays + compiz | 18:47 |
| blahjake | sounds like he didn't actually mean sessions | 18:47 |
| bazhang | x_link look exactly the same? | 18:48 |
| The_Rebel | yes i mean sessions | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mefisto__: do you think squirrelmail will support gmail? | 18:48 |
| x_link | bazhang: Yes, or atleast pretty much the same. | 18:48 |
| The_Rebel | i saw an option to configure each output with the opensource nv driver | 18:48 |
| Pconfig | The_Rebel: last time i checked, it wasn't supported yet by kde4 as there was no maintainer of the multiple monitor module at the moment | 18:48 |
| The_Rebel | ok | 18:49 |
| bazhang | x_link I would doubt that in the extreme | 18:49 |
| Pconfig | The_Rebel: twinview works just as good for me | 18:49 |
| mefisto__ | ActionParsnip: don't know anything about squirrelmail | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ok man, i'll let you know how it flys | 18:50 |
| x_link | bazhang: Alright. | 18:53 |
| bazhang | x_link, if you want 3.5.10, need to use hardy afaik | 18:55 |
| x_link | bazhang: I know, but I just want it to look like KDE3. | 18:57 |
| x_link | I'm not a big fan of KDE4. | 18:57 |
| x_link | But I guess I can try to change the look as much as I can | 18:57 |
| bazhang | perhaps check kde-look.org | 18:57 |
| mefisto__ | what I don't like about kde4 is how chunky it looks, you know? | 18:58 |
| kalp | hello ppl | 19:00 |
| irannaked | hmm | 19:00 |
| irannaked | from being born on windos and switching to linux, i likey!! | 19:01 |
| kalp | i got a prob guys | 19:02 |
| kalp | cant detect wireless networks | 19:02 |
| kalp | can any1 help | 19:02 |
| irannaked | i might be able to | 19:03 |
| irannaked | you right click on the network in the "start menu" and enable wireless? | 19:03 |
| kalp | there is no start menu in kubuntu!! | 19:05 |
| liar | kmenu^^ | 19:05 |
| kalp | k | 19:06 |
| kalp | i see network services option in it | 19:06 |
| mefisto__ | this has always bugged me: why doesn't the kmenu icon use the kubuntu logo instead of the default kde K? | 19:06 |
| SiVA_ | kde 4.2 is much better | 19:07 |
| xiong | i'm angry and frustrated; i can't seem to get anything done | 19:07 |
| mefisto__ | is there somewhere on kubuntu.org like a wishlist, where you can make suggestions? | 19:07 |
| xiong | trivial tasks require extensive research and experiment | 19:08 |
| irannaked | try having 160 gb's or movies gameas and tv shows deleted due to installing ubuntu | 19:08 |
| irannaked | that blows | 19:08 |
| xiong | intermediate-level tasks, i'm unable to succeed with at all | 19:08 |
| xiong | and never mind actually getting any work done | 19:08 |
| xiong | what am i doing wrong? where do i begin? how can i unravel this system? | 19:08 |
| irannaked | work??? getting work done?? i cant even look up my colleges class' :( | 19:09 |
| irannaked | system> admin> network tools | 19:09 |
| irannaked | check there | 19:09 |
| kalp | k | 19:09 |
| irannaked | you see a wireless interface listed? | 19:10 |
| xiong | i read this discussion of klipper | 19:11 |
| xiong | i don't understand the point | 19:11 |
| xiong | why would i want to think about the clipboard?? | 19:12 |
| irannaked | copy and paste? | 19:12 |
| xiong | yeh, i don't think of copy and paste as related to a specific applet | 19:13 |
| mefisto__ | what's to think about? click the icon, there's a list of things you've copied recently | 19:13 |
| irannaked | yeah right. it should be applied to everything | 19:13 |
| irannaked | copy and paste a url | 19:13 |
| xiong | rather, it's a method of dealing with stuff that cuts across all tools | 19:13 |
| irannaked | small text | 19:13 |
| irannaked | why couldnt bill gates make linux? | 19:13 |
| xiong | i'm really having a tough time filtering out the noise from the meat | 19:13 |
| SiVA_ | hrm... spoke too soon. Looks like NetBeans now crashes intermittently... so much for my 4.2 upgrade | 19:14 |
| kalp | i dont see anthing in network settings | 19:14 |
| xiong | please tell me why it is so tough to configure the K menu | 19:14 |
| xiong | or is there a simpler replacement? | 19:15 |
| irannaked | because you diddnt read their 22423423 page manual on how to work the OS | 19:15 |
| irannaked | lmao | 19:15 |
| irannaked | my best guess | 19:15 |
| === rob is now known as Guest84832 | ||
| xiong | i'm really struggling with these mans | 19:16 |
| xiong | am i using the wrong distro? | 19:16 |
| irannaked | what are you loged into now and typing on? | 19:16 |
| xiong | "konversation" | 19:16 |
| SiVA_ | how do I edit the menu in kde 4.2 | 19:16 |
| pinda | is it just me, or is plasma in jaunty completely broken atm? (crashes directly after start) | 19:16 |
| xiong | siva that is exactly my question | 19:17 |
| SiVA_ | oh.. hehe | 19:17 |
| xiong | i find that if i right-click, i come up on a box where i can crudely add items | 19:17 |
| xiong | but it's just all so wonky | 19:17 |
| x_link | ActionParsnip: Now I'm in KDE4. ;D | 19:17 |
| mefisto__ | right-click the K, there's a menu editor, no? | 19:17 |
| irannaked | freaking codes | 19:17 |
| JontheEchidna | pinda: kde4libs 4.2.0 got uploaded, but the rest of 4.2.0 hasn't built yet | 19:17 |
| xiong | what i want to do is open the menu up, like a folder, and drag stuff around | 19:17 |
| JontheEchidna | and pimlibs got uploaded, but kdebase-workspace hasn't built | 19:17 |
| xiong | i can't figure out how to create a symbolic link either | 19:18 |
| pinda | JontheEchidna: ah, so that should hit the repos shortly? | 19:18 |
| irannaked | get intrepid | 19:18 |
| irannaked | not jaunty | 19:18 |
| xiong | "alias" in my tongue | 19:18 |
| trojkolka | kdebase has been published an hour ago | 19:18 |
| trojkolka | doesnt show up in updates just yet | 19:18 |
| JontheEchidna | pinda: dunno, the X guys decided to break X in the middle of our KDE upload :/ | 19:18 |
| trojkolka | -workspace i mean | 19:18 |
| mefisto__ | xiong: calm down. it's not good for your health | 19:18 |
| pinda | JontheEchidna: that sounds like fun ;) | 19:19 |
| JontheEchidna | making certain header packages uninstallable | 19:19 |
| SiVA_ | well... back to regular ubuntu. | 19:19 |
| JontheEchidna | making KDE packages fail to build | 19:19 |
| JontheEchidna | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1 | 19:19 |
| === shadeslayer is now known as solebum | ||
| pinda | JontheEchidna: good luck fixing that. | 19:20 |
| JontheEchidna | yeah.... thanks | 19:20 |
| trojkolka | so JontheEchidna... any luck in the next hour that my desktop will return? (read: kdebase-workspace gets updated to 4.4.2 and pushed a updated on my system) | 19:21 |
| irannaked | fuk 4.4.2 | 19:21 |
| JontheEchidna | trojkolka: probably not | 19:21 |
| JontheEchidna | even if it is working it usually takes an hour to build | 19:22 |
| trojkolka | bummer any change on how i get my wireless network with WPA psk running from terminal then? | 19:22 |
| irannaked | dude | 19:22 |
| irannaked | launch the gnome desktop | 19:22 |
| xiong | i have studied several web pages addressing the question of kubuntu running on a dell latitude C600 | 19:22 |
| irannaked | and chill on kde intill they fix it | 19:22 |
| xiong | the problem is the screen resolution, which defaults to 800x600 | 19:22 |
| irannaked | safe mode when you install xiong | 19:22 |
| xiong | the native display resolution is 1400x1050 | 19:23 |
| irannaked | then update video drivers | 19:23 |
| xiong | okay irannaked that is info | 19:23 |
| xiong | but i don't understand | 19:23 |
| irannaked | thow it at mee | 19:23 |
| xiong | what is safe mode, how do i enter it, and do you mean to say that i must reinstall kubuntu from cd all over? | 19:24 |
| xiong | also, how would i update the video drivers? | 19:24 |
| trojkolka | xiong safe mode is in your login screen options menuy | 19:24 |
| xiong | okay, hold on; i have to go see this for myself | 19:24 |
| irannaked | ok, safe mode is what i used on my widescreen because nothing was viable or clickable | 19:24 |
| xiong | i very rarely see the login screen | 19:25 |
| x_link | Hurmm | 19:25 |
| irannaked | so i installed and ran in safe mode to fix the video problem | 19:25 |
| x_link | Is it not possible to right-click on a desktop-file and choose "Rename"? | 19:25 |
| x_link | I'm a bit confused in KDE4 actualy. | 19:25 |
| irannaked | and to update System>admin>update | 19:25 |
| x_link | No kcontrol, I can't remove dolphin and use konqueror. | 19:25 |
| x_link | I can't move icons on my taskbar. | 19:26 |
| filenox | does somebody know why the live-cd (kubun.) doesn't logjn automaticly ? | 19:26 |
| SiVA_ | hrm... netbeans doesn't work in Xubuntu either | 19:26 |
| irannaked | wait, did you straight up install kubuntu? | 19:26 |
| x_link | There is some things I really don't understnad. | 19:26 |
| xiong | okay i have been to the login screen; there is no | 19:26 |
| xiong | "safe mode" | 19:26 |
| SiVA_ | ok, I upgraded to kde 4.2, by following the instructions at the link in the /topic. Now my netbeans ide keeps crashing... any suggestions? | 19:26 |
| irannaked | xiong!!!! | 19:26 |
| irannaked | wait, did you straight up install kubuntu? | 19:26 |
| xiong | although there is a "failsafe" option | 19:27 |
| Pconfig | x_link: the desktop widget isn't meant to be a full file manager, only able to launch files quickly from it | 19:27 |
| xiong | yes, i installed kubuntu on a freshly partitioned drive | 19:27 |
| SiVA_ | ok... how do I *remove* the kde 4.2 stuff I just upgraded? Maybe that will make my netbeans work again | 19:27 |
| Pconfig | x_link: you can more icons around on your panel when you click panel settings | 19:27 |
| xiong | i did this about a month ago; since then i've been updating it and trying to wrestle it into shape | 19:27 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: you can move icon on the taskbar. click that button at the right and you can move them all around | 19:28 |
| xiong | irannaked: did i do wrong? | 19:28 |
| irannaked | =http://www.larsen-b.com/Article/281.html | 19:28 |
| SiVA_ | is there such a thing as a "downgrade"? I want to go back to kde 4.1 | 19:28 |
| irannaked | try launghing kde in safe | 19:29 |
| xiong | sorry, i can't seem to make the connection | 19:29 |
| xiong | you want me to reinstall? i installed kubuntu 8.10 in the first place | 19:29 |
| xiong | ... and i'm still pretty sure i don't understand | 19:30 |
| xiong | "safe mode" | 19:30 |
| x_link | mefisto__: Okej | 19:30 |
| irannaked | when you login click options and select kde in safe | 19:30 |
| x_link | mefisto__: There is no right button on the icons in my taskbar. | 19:31 |
| xiong | that larsen-b link; i assume that those are lines to type into the command-line shell? | 19:31 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: the cashew-shaped thing, like the one at top right of the desktop | 19:31 |
| x_link | Baaah KDE4 is very different from KDE3 | 19:31 |
| irannaked | yes | 19:32 |
| irannaked | the terminal or Konsole | 19:32 |
| xiong | will all my preferences go away? and will it help for me to reinstall kde4? | 19:32 |
| irannaked | should help reinstall kde4 properlly | 19:32 |
| irannaked | if anythings missing it should reinstall it | 19:32 |
| xiong | i have figured out how to get a shell window | 19:32 |
| x_link | mefisto__: I just get a new "taskbar" when i press that. | 19:32 |
| irannaked | i havent had much of a problem running ubuntu and then upgrading to KDE 4 | 19:33 |
| irannaked | runs pretty smooth | 19:33 |
| irannaked | alt+F2 | 19:33 |
| irannaked | shortcut | 19:33 |
| xiong | i'm completely confused now | 19:33 |
| irannaked | then type the command and click run in terminal | 19:33 |
| xiong | all of the web discussion about the screen resolution problem revolves around xorg.conf | 19:34 |
| xiong | which is a configuration file | 19:34 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: now when you click an icon, it should show arrows left right up down, meaning you can move that icon around | 19:34 |
| x_link | I'm switching back to KDE4, I really don't like KDE4. | 19:34 |
| xiong | tinkering with this, i've been able to get to 1240x768 in thousands of colors (depth 16) | 19:34 |
| x_link | mefisto__: I can only do that on the desktop-icons, not in my taskbar. | 19:34 |
| xiong | which sucks but is better than 800x600 | 19:34 |
| xiong | i have 8Mb of video ram, i think i should be able to get this to go right | 19:35 |
| Pconfig | xiong: what graphics card do you have? | 19:35 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: you have hardy with kde4 from the ppa repos, right? | 19:35 |
| xiong | x_link: switching to kde3? | 19:35 |
| xiong | Pconfig: not sure, it's a long name | 19:36 |
| Pconfig | xiong: what brand? :p | 19:36 |
| xiong | it's not really a distinct card at all anyway | 19:36 |
| x_link | xiong: ?? | 19:36 |
| xiong | i mean, it's all one one board, right? | 19:36 |
| Pconfig | ok, so it's an intel card? | 19:36 |
| xiong | this is a dell latitude C600 | 19:36 |
| xiong | laptop | 19:37 |
| x_link | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main | 19:37 |
| x_link | mefisto__: I use that repoo. | 19:37 |
| x_link | Repo. | 19:37 |
| xiong | i assume all the video stuff is soldered into the motherboard | 19:37 |
| x_link | Seems more difficult to change things in KDE4. | 19:37 |
| xiong | some sort of ati chipset | 19:37 |
| x_link | Alot of things are alot different. | 19:37 |
| Pconfig | xiong: do you have the propriatary drivers installed? | 19:38 |
| xiong | Pconfig: that sounds like a wise question to ask | 19:38 |
| xiong | but i have no idea how to answer it | 19:38 |
| xiong | how would i know? | 19:38 |
| xiong | how would i do it, if i knew it had not been done? | 19:38 |
| Pconfig | xiong: kmenu ==> programs ==> system ==> hardware drivers | 19:39 |
| xiong | hm--wait | 19:39 |
| x_link | Well well...going back to KDE3. | 19:40 |
| x_link | They should just changed some things. | 19:40 |
| x_link | Have kcontrol etc and everythign else as it was. | 19:40 |
| x_link | All the settings at the same place as it was before etc. | 19:40 |
| x_link | well well, not much to do. | 19:40 |
| Pconfig | x_link: kde4 is meant to be future proof | 19:40 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: I have the same as you. let me log in to kde4 and I'll tell you how to move taskbar icons | 19:40 |
| xiong | Pconfig: "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." | 19:40 |
| Pconfig | xiong: are there any drivers listed? | 19:41 |
| xiong | nope, just two blank boxes and a dim "enable" button | 19:41 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Hmm, I wonder why my system is using all my 2GB of RAM just after I start up and start a KDE4 session. | 19:41 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Seems to be running fairly fast and all | 19:42 |
| EagleScreen | deepfriedsquirre top command can be useful | 19:42 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Oh, maybe it was th fsck | 19:42 |
| deepfriedsquirre | point... lol | 19:42 |
| bitmonster | hi, can anyone help me to use mkinitrd in order to include the libata module? | 19:42 |
| Pconfig | xiong: that's odd, so where did you try to change your resolution? | 19:42 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Meh nothing seems to be using huge amounts of memory | 19:42 |
| xiong | Pconfig: surfing, i see many driver downloads available for C600 but they are all for windoz | 19:42 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Maybe it's just the result fo what fsck did earlier | 19:42 |
| deepfriedsquirre | Cheers, see you | 19:43 |
| Pconfig | xiong: are they ATI or intel? | 19:43 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: it's just what I said. click the cashew, that extra panel with config buttons pops up. hover the mouse over an icon and the arrows will show. then just drag the icons to a new position | 19:43 |
| xiong | ah, all the pages on the latitude/linux screen issue say to edit xorg.conf | 19:43 |
| enig | Hello, can anyone explain me why the movie playback is slower then normal? i mean the timeline is the same but it seems to skip about 30 to 40 percent of the frames. I've tried Kaffeine and Dragon player both with the same problem. | 19:43 |
| irannaked | do it then xiong | 19:43 |
| xiong | trouble is, they all prescribe a different blend of snake oil and claim different results | 19:43 |
| * revourbis Hello. | 19:43 | |
| Pconfig | xiong: did you try to follow those guides? | 19:43 |
| irannaked | want a example .conf? | 19:44 |
| xiong | yes; and some did not work at all; others gave me the 1240x768 at thousands of colors | 19:44 |
| surgy | hello | 19:44 |
| surgy | Pconfig: your right kde 4.2 rawks | 19:44 |
| mefisto__ | x_link: you can also resize the height of the panel. there's a handle at the top of that extra panel you can drag up or down | 19:44 |
| xiong | if, say, i use a modeline for 1024x768 at millions of colors, i get a blank white screen | 19:45 |
| xiong | this is bogus; with 8Mb of vram i should be able to get at least that -- indeed, others report 1400x1050 | 19:45 |
| x_link | mefisto__: Okey, I'm not very good with this. I think KDE3 is alot easier and looks alot easier. | 19:45 |

| surgy | i have a ntf partition that mounts fine it just requires a password to mount. therefor amarok and vlc cant access my media collection automaticly. i assume this is a permissions problem. I want me and all of my programs to have 100% access to this partition all the time. how do i do this? im using kubuntu 8.10 with kde 4.2 | 19:48 |
| revourbis_ | Maybe someone could help me here... I can't get Amarok to play mp3's or internet radio stations :( Is this common? | 19:48 |
| x_link | irannaked: You must pastebin that, not copy/paste to the channel, not that many lines | 19:48 |
| surgy | dam irannaked leave room for us to talk | 19:48 |
| irannaked | thanks for the link | 19:48 |

| irannaked | once is plent to reread over 15 times | 19:48 |
| Pconfig | revourbis: did you install the correct packages? | 19:48 |
| irannaked | i dont see the point on resaying it | 19:48 |
| x_link | You expect to get help when you talk like that? | 19:49 |
| surgy | can anyone help me? do i just "sudo chmod +RWX /media/drive" ? | 19:49 |
| irannaked | i dont need help i AM the one helping | 19:49 |
| x_link | Good for you. | 19:49 |
| surgy | looks like your being a nuesense | 19:49 |
| Pconfig | surgy: chmod 777 /media/drive should work | 19:49 |
| Pconfig | sudo* | 19:49 |

| irannaked | sudo apt-install kde-desktop | 19:50 |

| ubottu | Package kde-desktop does not exist in intrepid | 19:50 |

| yusniel | Hi my friends, I have a problem. I need to convert a avi video to 3gp video for my cell phone. | 19:52 |
| xiong | Pconfig: looking at that page | 19:52 |
| xiong | think i saw it before | 19:52 |
| irannaked | google search ".avi to .3gp linux" | 19:52 |
| irannaked | noob | 19:52 |
| xiong | i've googled this problem hard | 19:52 |
| Pconfig | xiong: did you try it? | 19:53 |
| bazhang | irannaked, please dont use that term here | 19:53 |
| xiong | trouble is, no one solution is pointed to by all pages | 19:53 |
| surgy | my bad | 19:53 |
| irannaked | what term? search.... | 19:53 |
| xiong | rather, everyone seems to have a slightly different fix | 19:53 |
| yusniel | I am using ffmpeg but this command try this mistake Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0 | 19:53 |
| bazhang | !noob | 19:53 |
| ubottu | Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 19:53 |

| Pici | irannaked: This is a support channel, and thats not helpful. | 19:53 |
| surgy | any ideas on how to give it permanent RWX forever even after reboot? | 19:53 |
| coreymon77 | what in the world is 3gp, i have never heard of that format before? | 19:53 |
| irannaked | reminds me of the winblows xp chat room i was once in | 19:53 |
| xiong | i've tried several; what with re-editing, rebooting, and getting out of the bad corners, seems to take about 20 min to check out one of these | 19:53 |
| xiong | "solutions" | 19:53 |
| irannaked | 3gp is the format your cell phones video camera uses' | 19:54 |
| yusniel | and this is the command ffmpeg -i cama.avi -s qcif -r 12 -ac 1 -ar 8000 -b 30 -ab 12 ArchivoSalida.3gp | 19:54 |
| coreymon77 | irannaked: this is irc, not aol or msn chatrooms, the rules are slightly different here, thats all | 19:54 |
| enig | quick question. how do i change to root in console.? whasn't it sudu su? | 19:54 |

| irannaked | no enig | 19:54 |
| bazhang | enig, dont use that | 19:54 |
| coreymon77 | enig: the command is sudo -s | 19:54 |
| bazhang | enig, use sudo | 19:54 |
| irannaked | system>admin>login screen | 19:54 |
| coreymon77 | just stick with sudo though | 19:54 |
| coreymon77 | its safer | 19:54 |
| irannaked | i ment window | 19:55 |
| xiong | Pconfig: i'm going to try again | 19:55 |
| irannaked | sudo su doesnt work correctly | 19:55 |
| xiong | see you in a half hour | 19:55 |
| blahjake | what's the problem with sudo su -? | 19:55 |
| yusniel | any idea? | 19:55 |

| surgy | Pconfig: http://pastebin.com/m5ac5eb79 thats my fstab | 19:57 |

| revourbis_ | non free codecs? | 19:58 |
| coreymon77 | non open source | 19:58 |
| Pconfig | surgy: it's not in there :| | 19:58 |
| revourbis_ | <confused> | 19:59 |
| EagleScreen | yes revourbis, you have to install a package called "kubuntu-restricted-extras" | 19:59 |
| enig | Oh and does anyone know why is movie playback skipping about 30 to 40 percent of frames? it's the same on Kaffeine and Dragon PLayer! | 19:59 |

| === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde | ||

| uga | revourbis: so folow EagleScreen's suggestion and install that pack | 20:00 |
| coreymon77 | !ask | marcel | 20:00 |

| marcel | i try sudo apt-get -f install sun-java6-jdk | but the instalion process is blocked - what shoul i do ?? | 20:00 |
| coreymon77 | why are you using -f install? | 20:01 |
| surgy | marcel: log out and back in and try again | 20:01 |
| EagleScreen | marcel blocked by..? | 20:01 |
| Pconfig | surgy: i have no idea, sorry | 20:01 |
| marcel | i have no ideea | 20:01 |
| surgy | can anyone else help me to permanently give RWX permisions to my allready mounted NFS partition? | 20:01 |
| EagleScreen | marcel do u obtain any error or report? | 20:01 |
| marcel | Unpacking sun-java6-bin (from /sun-java6-bin6-100ubuntu2_i386.deb) ... | 20:02 |
| EagleScreen | surgy may be in /etc/fstab options | 20:02 |
| marcel | an i wait 1 hour .... | 20:02 |
| surgy | EagleScreen: the partition isnt even in my fstab, yet its mounted.... | 20:02 |
| revourbis_ | Now Amarok tells me that Xine engine claims that it cannot play mp3 files but in the configure screen there is no other engine but xine... what now? :-s | 20:02 |
| mefisto__ | !ntfs-config | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-config | 20:02 |
| marcel | so much time spend the installation process ? | 20:02 |
| EagleScreen | surgy do you have that permissions in the whole partition? (all files and folders) | 20:03 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: try installing ntfs-config. (but I'm not sure if it's in intrepid) | 20:03 |
| EagleScreen | * do you want? | 20:03 |
| Pconfig | mefisto__: it is, i just checked, worked for me before (didn't need it in intrepid though) | 20:04 |
| surgy | EagleScreen: only sudo has permision to RWX. which is making it inconveniant to store my media library there, since it prompts for sudo PW everytime amarok needs to access my music directory | 20:04 |
| EagleScreen | mefisto__ it said NFS not NTFS | 20:04 |
| Pconfig | EagleScreen: <surgy> Pconfig: blkid gives me this line "/dev/sda5: UUID="3C9C294F9C2904CC" TYPE="ntfs"" | 20:04 |
| === mtux_ is now known as mtux | ||
| EagleScreen | surgy are you talking about a NFS or NTFS partition? | 20:05 |
| mefisto__ | EagleScreen: I think it was NTF, which I think is ntfs | 20:05 |
| surgy | EagleScreen: NTFS sorry | 20:05 |
| revourbis_ | Now Amarok tells me that Xine engine claims that it cannot play mp3 files but in the configure screen there is no other engine but xine... what now? :-s | 20:05 |
| EagleScreen | surgy it should be easy | 20:06 |
| bitmonster | can anyone tell me how to install mkinitrd? | 20:06 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_: did you install that package? | 20:06 |
| surgy | revourbis_: the only package you need for amarok mp3 is "libxine-plugins-all" | 20:06 |
| EagleScreen | surgy be sure you have ntfs-3g installed | 20:06 |
| surgy | EagleScreen: i allready "sudo chmod 777 [mount point]" but wont that reset when i log out ? | 20:07 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: put this line in your fstab: /dev/sda5 /media/<the-mountpoint-you-want> ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_AU.UTF-8 0 0 | 20:07 |
| surgy | mefisto__: and install ntfs-3g and it should be fixed? | 20:07 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: replace the locale and mountpoint with whatever you need, and make sure the mountpoint exists | 20:07 |
| === mtux is now known as mtux_ | ||
| surgy | mefisto__: and what exactly is the "locale" ? | 20:08 |
| === mtux_ is now known as mtux__ | ||
| revourbis_ | I've found "Xine extra plugins" but I cannot click it it appears in grey on the list. | 20:08 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: your language/location | 20:08 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: eg, I'm using en_AU because I'm in australia | 20:08 |
| surgy | revourbis_: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install libxine-plugins-all" and press enter and install that then restart amarok | 20:09 |
| EagleScreen | locale=es_ES.UTF-8 for Spanish (Spain), en_US.UTF-8 for English (USA)... | 20:09 |
| surgy | mefisto__: ah got ya | 20:09 |
| EagleScreen | select your language and country code | 20:09 |
| revourbis_ | Ok thanks, one second then... | 20:09 |
| surgy | revourbis_: leave out the "" though | 20:09 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: ntfs-config does all this for you, so install that too and just find NTFS config tool in the kmenu | 20:09 |
| EagleScreen | ntfs-config is an option | 20:10 |
| revourbis_ | E: Couldn't find package libxine-plugins-all | 20:10 |
| surgy | mefisto__: ok so the easy route is to install ntfs-3g and ntfs-config and then use the gui provided? | 20:10 |
| EagleScreen | yes, ntfs-config edit /etc/fstab for you | 20:10 |
| shawn__ | hello I was wondering if anyone has some tips on how to get thumbnail previews working for videos in dolphin? | 20:10 |
| surgy | revourbis_: sorry i told you wrong | 20:10 |
| revourbis_ | No problem. | 20:10 |
| surgy | revourbis_: use this " sudo apt-get install libxine1-all-plugins " | 20:10 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: ntfs-config is impossible to get wrong. you could do it in your sleep | 20:11 |
| === mtux__ is now known as mtux | ||
| surgy | mefisto__: will do, but those two are sepperate toold and i need both right? | 20:11 |
| Pconfig | revourbig_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras <== this will install other video support and stuff too | 20:11 |
| surgy | revourbis_: make sure you completely close amarok and reopen it after you install that package and you will have mp3 support | 20:11 |
| Pconfig | surgy: ntfs-3g should already be installed, it's the driver | 20:11 |
| surgy | Pconfig: ok kewl | 20:12 |
| shawn__ | ah? | 20:12 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: ntfs-3g is needed to mount and use ntfs filesystems, ntfs-config is just to set up fstab and mountpoints, etc | 20:12 |
| revourbis_ | Damn it gives me somekind of error related to sun java dependency... | 20:12 |
| surgy | lol | 20:12 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: you could remove ntfs-config after it's set up if you want | 20:12 |
| surgy | mefisto__: the drive is alrleady mounted and writable | 20:13 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: well it must be installed by default on intrepid. I'm on hardy still | 20:13 |
| surgy | i just have to manually mount it as root before amarok can access it which is a pain | 20:13 |
| Pconfig | shawn__: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3094820 | 20:13 |
| shawn__ | thanks I'll give that a look | 20:14 |
| * revourbis_ Be right back. | 20:14 | |
| surgy | revourbis_: sounds like you have a whole list of problems then, i dont remember the command for rebuilding all deps | 20:14 |
| shawn__ | Pconfig: I have already installed mplayerthumbs, still no luck | 20:16 |
| surgy | on a different note anyone know a good site where i can shop around for widgets? i kindof want a weather widget | 20:17 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: there is kweather-kde4, but it doesn't work for me :( | 20:17 |
| surgy | shawn__: get the restricte-extra package i think that has something to do with how some file associations interact | 20:18 |
| surgy | mefisto your on hardy though, is it in the repos? | 20:18 |
| Pconfig | surgy, mefisto__: it works on kde 4.2 | 20:18 |
| surgy | Pconfig: i took your advice and moved to kde 4.2 i am thoroughly impressed | 20:19 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: I installed kde4 from a ppa repo. lots of things don't work | 20:19 |
| shawn__ | I already have kubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:19 |
| Pconfig | mefisto__: you could always embed some html applet in a konquerer widget? | 20:19 |
| surgy | mefisto__: get the 8.10 disk image with kde 4.1 from kubuntu.com and then use the "experimental" repo for kde 4.2 works perfect! | 20:19 |
| mefisto__ | surgy: I don't want to lose kde3.5 though | 20:20 |

| PovAddict | when I click the spinning icon, 2 out of 3 times, the chat window from the one who messaged me opens | 20:29 |
| xiong | the default kubuntu install creates an almost entirely empty xorg.conf | 20:29 |

| PovAddict | 1 our of 3, *X crashes* | 20:29 |
| PovAddict | out* | 20:29 |
| naspar | sorry .. i did wrong . .the right name is mirc | 20:29 |
| xiong | ...which seems to work pretty good, considering | 20:29 |
| gorgonzola | mmm, konverstino? what are you using now? | 20:29 |
| gorgonzola | konversation* | 20:29 |
| xiong | i assume it all defaults to something, somewhere deep inside... | 20:29 |

| xiong | Pconfig: shall i simply delete all other depth subsections? or change default depth? | 20:30 |
| Pconfig | i would type this in cmd if i where you | 20:30 |
| PovAddict | naspar: of course, what use would be an IRC client if you can't connect to any server? | 20:30 |
| xiong | we already worked over that driver issue, didn't we? | 20:31 |
| Pconfig | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 20:31 |
| xiong | don't have the first notion where to get it | 20:31 |
| xiong | i have already got that trick | 20:31 |
| Pconfig | xiong, normally ubuntu detects what driver you need but in your case it doesn't which i find strange | 20:31 |
| xiong | when i do it, it erases my xorg.conf entirely and replaces it with a blank one | 20:31 |

| naspar | thank you ;) | 20:32 |
| xiong | i can delete the existing file at any time | 20:32 |
| xiong | i have climbed over that bar | 20:32 |
| PovAddict | naspar: press F2 :) | 20:32 |
| xiong | i consider this all to be madness | 20:32 |
| marcreichelt | is there a repository available for OOo 3.0? | 20:32 |
| naspar | hahaha .. really . .so simple ? | 20:32 |
| naspar | omg | 20:32 |
| PovAddict | click New and add some stuff | 20:33 |
| xiong | i don't even see a menu or tab or anything in the system settings/display module for screen depth | 20:33 |
| xiong | why is this all so hard? | 20:33 |
| PovAddict | you can set up autojoin channels for each server too | 20:33 |
| xiong | is there no tool available for directly changing screen resolution and depth? something i could work? | 20:33 |
| naspar | thaaaanku PovAddict | 20:33 |
| xiong | there is no feedback when fooling with this config file | 20:34 |
| Pconfig | xiong: for some reason i think there's something wrong with your drivers | 20:34 |
| PovAddict | Xorg backtrace when crashing usually has only three entries, and they don't seem useful... | 20:34 |
| kaddi | marcreichelt: i just had a look at my repositories | 20:34 |
| xiong | it is just shouting different stuff and hoping to get lucky | 20:34 |
| PovAddict | is X doing something fancy with crash handling that causes a useless backtrace? | 20:34 |
| xiong | you say, something wrong with my drivers -- how to fix?? | 20:34 |
| kaddi | seems to be in the main packages, so you should be able to find it with adept/apt-get/aptitude | 20:35 |
| Pconfig | xiong: you need to make sure which graphics chip is in your laptop first | 20:35 |
| marcreichelt | kaddi: on Ubuntu 8.04? | 20:35 |
| micettonero | hi, i've a problem with kopete and msn | 20:35 |
| xiong | Pconfig: wait, i have downloaded a hardware prober | 20:36 |
| tarimari | xiong: krandrtray ? | 20:36 |
| tarimari | hi guys | 20:36 |
| * revourbis_ Back. | 20:36 | |
| kaddi | marcreichelt: no, im on 8.10, | 20:36 |
| marcreichelt | k | 20:36 |
| micettonero | kopete seems to connect to the server but it show all my contacts as offline | 20:36 |
| micettonero | with kmess i haven't any problem | 20:36 |
| mohbana | hi, do i install KDE 4 on ubuntun | 20:37 |
| mohbana | gnome | 20:37 |
| xiong | tarimari: okay, this is one of the big problems i have with linux altogether | 20:37 |
| gorgonzola | mohbana: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 20:37 |
| tarimari | kde 4.2 will be released tomorrow. when do u think it will be available at backports for intrepid, or updates for intrepid. OR when do u think it will be available at kubuntu-experimental ppa? if today i install dke 4.2rc1, will i have normal upgrade later to kde 4.2? | 20:37 |
| xiong | it seems that stuff has phoney public names and real secret names | 20:37 |
| xiong | you said, "krandtray" and i thought you meant something new and powerful | 20:38 |
| xiong | but that is just the true name of the display panel from system settings | 20:38 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: actually, the name of the real thing is XrandR | 20:38 |
| gorgonzola | xiong krandrtray is just a fronte end. | 20:39 |
| tarimari | actually xrandr works better than krandrtray | 20:39 |
| gorgonzola | tarimari: i have never been able to get any of them to work at all | 20:39 |
| gorgonzola | :( | 20:39 |
| xiong | this is very frustrating | 20:39 |
| kaddi | marcreichelt: i found this howto which might make you happy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=982652 | 20:40 |
| tarimari | it depends the graphic card etc, how much lucky you are, how many months you spend on it , how much patience you have to wait.. | 20:40 |
| marcreichelt | k, thanks | 20:40 |
| kaddi | it's seems that it is not in the repositories for 8.04 (i actually missed the "3" the first time i read your post ;) ) | 20:40 |
| tarimari | anyone know about when kde 4.2 will be ported at intrepid? | 20:40 |
| gorgonzola | could someone please explain to me how i can install jaunty packages under intrepid? | 20:40 |
| tarimari | any kde 4.2 packager here? | 20:41 |
| tarimari | gorgonzola: you want single packages or upgrade totally? | 20:41 |
| xiong | Pconfig: okay, here goes | 20:41 |
| gorgonzola | tariamri: i want only one package. intrepid is at version 1.4,5 jaunty has v 1.4.7, i was instructed by upstream to try that before bitching about some bug :) | 20:41 |
| mohbana | are you certain of the command gorgonzola | 20:42 |
| Pconfig | tarimari: ping JontheEchidna | 20:42 |
| tarimari | thanks Pconfig | 20:42 |
| Pconfig | he was here an hour ago ;) | 20:42 |
| gorgonzola | mohbana: yes. that will install a meta package that depends on the compelte kde desktop. after that, tyou should have the option of launching either KD or GNome as desktop. | 20:42 |
| tarimari | gorgonzola: one way is to google search for packages.ubuntu.com or something, then download the coresponding package for jaunty, save it at desktop and double click it | 20:43 |
| xiong | VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02): Subsystem: Dell Device 00bl | 20:43 |
| alonea | I am still having some issues with my touchpad. If I so much as graze it while typing my cursor gets moved or some text pasted. | 20:43 |
| tarimari | the other way is to add jaunty repos, install the package, and remove it | 20:43 |
| JontheEchidna | tarimari: 4.1.96 (4.2 RC1) packages are already available, see the kubuntu.org website. 4.2 packages should be available tomorrow at the earliest | 20:43 |
| alonea | since we moved to hal, the old stuff doesn't work anymore and I am lost on how to fix it | 20:43 |
| gorgonzola | tarimari: ok, i thought it would be something lie that, but i was wondering if there was some way to do it "from within" apt | 20:43 |
| revourbis_ | Question: I have KDE 3, would it be hard to upgrade to KDE 4? | 20:45 |
| shawn__ | yay got video thumbnails working in dolphin, had to install mplayerthumbs 1.1, the one included with intrepid wasn't working | 20:45 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis: without upgrading to intrepid? | 20:45 |
| revourbis_ | Sorry linux newbie here... intrepid? | 20:45 |
| Pconfig | xiong: seems like you're not the only one with problems :s | 20:45 |
| xiong | no, not at all | 20:46 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis: are you using kubuntu? | 20:46 |
| revourbis_ | Yes. | 20:46 |
| xiong | the C600/X problem seems to be very common (that is, all users) | 20:46 |
| xiong | there's plenty of talk about it -- many pages, i've been reading for weeks | 20:46 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis_ intrepid is the codename of kubuntu 8.10. if you are in kubuntu and are not in kde, then chances are you are on hardy heron (8.04) or previous. | 20:47 |
| Pconfig | xiong: it's hard to help you with this as i didn't have this problem myself (other card and such) so your only hope is to find the correct guide :( | 20:47 |
| xiong | the infuriating thing is that all solutions given are different and none work for me | 20:47 |
| Pconfig | xiong: it's frustrating, but with newer cards this is fixed | 20:47 |
| Pconfig | xiong: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/warty/+source/xorg/+bug/29970 did you try this one? | 20:47 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis_ the easiest way to get kde 4, is to follow the upgrade path, and move on to intrepid, howver, this might no be what you want. | 20:47 |
| xiong | why is there no simple straightforward utility that allows you to do video stuff directly? | 20:47 |
| Pconfig | xiong: it all has to do with metamodes | 20:48 |
| xiong | like SwitchRes? | 20:48 |
| Pconfig | xiong: like a said, the driver for those cards are outdated | 20:48 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis_ as hardy heron (i'm asuming you are on tht) is much more stable, being a "long term suport" release. | 20:48 |
| Pconfig | xiong: graphics card drivers under linux only recently got alot of attention from the manufacterers | 20:48 |
| coreymon77 | afaik hardy is not an lts for the kubuntu release | 20:48 |
| mohbana | what's a display manager? | 20:48 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: 'coz Xorg is a steaming pile of messy spagheti code, of inmense complexity. | 20:48 |
| xiong | http://www.madrau.com/html/SRX/About.html | 20:48 |
| mohbana | gdm or kde | 20:48 |
| mohbana | i want gnome ... shall i use gdm | 20:49 |
| xiong | i have been using the os 9 version of switchres for two years, controlling all sorts of monitors, often two at a time | 20:49 |
| gorgonzola | mohbana: a display manager is the program that launches the desktop. Gdm is gnome's display maanegr | 20:49 |
| revourbis_ | So you suggest I stick to this one? | 20:49 |
| xiong | doesn't matter what it is, i can fool around with it -- try different resolutions and depths on the fly and see which work | 20:49 |
| coreymon77 | mohbana: in other words, you can still run kde through gdm | 20:49 |
| xiong | and lock out the ones that don't | 20:49 |
| xiong | stupid simple | 20:49 |
| gorgonzola | mohbana :kdm is kde's. both whould work with either desktop. if you are on ubuntu, gdm will be in line with the overall look of the system and splash screen | 20:50 |
| alonea | anyone know where touchpad options are? | 20:50 |
| coreymon77 | mohbana: the main noticeable difference between kdm and gdm are the login screens | 20:50 |
| xiong | will someone just tell me honestly if linux still requires an MSCS to use?? | 20:50 |
| PSiL0 | !mouse | 20:50 |
| ubottu | Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto | 20:50 |
| gorgonzola | mohbana, in any case, choose gdm if that is what you are confortable with, and you can always try kdm later. changing that is really easy and harmless. | 20:50 |
| mohbana | ok thanks alot gorgonizer et. al | 20:50 |
| xiong | is there a distro where i can just jam in the disk, follow the prompts, and get a working system out of it in a few days? | 20:51 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis: that depends a lot on your preferences. if you really want kde 4, and intend to stick with kubuntu, then you should by all means upgrade to intrepid, as this release includes kde 4 by default. | 20:51 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: a few days?! since when does it take that long anymore | 20:51 |
| xiong | i'm patient. a few hours would be better | 20:52 |
| alonea | PSiL0: don't need extra mouse buttons..I need touchpad options. I sometimes see reference to a touchpad tab, but have yto see thiset | 20:52 |
| xiong | i've been trying to get kubuntu up for over a month | 20:52 |
| xiong | before that, i wrestled unsuccessfully with suse for about two months | 20:52 |
| PSiL0 | alonea: That was for my reference ;) | 20:52 |
| xiong | i'm extremely angry and disappointed | 20:52 |
| alonea | ah ok, sorry | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | the last time any linux distro took me a few days to get working was back when i was still using wifi cards with broadcom chips | 20:52 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis: however, if you want a rock-stable system, where everything is tested thoroughly and the bugs are minimun, but without newwer fetures, stay on hardy. Personlly, i upgrade to current release as soon as i can, but that's me | 20:52 |
| PSiL0 | alonea: I'm trying to map a button on my mouse lol | 20:52 |
| Pconfig | xiong: btw ctrl+alt+backspace works aswell :p | 20:52 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: whats the matter | 20:52 |
| Pconfig | instead of rebooting | 20:53 |
| PSiL0 | alonea: As for touchpad options -> to disable: sudo rmmod psmouse; to enable: sudo modprobe psmouse... | 20:53 |
| xiong | coreymon77: in a word, i don't understand any of this stuff and i don't think it works well even for those who do understand | 20:53 |
| xiong | the screen is bad, the | 20:54 |
| alonea | PSiL0: and then where is the touchpad settings tab at? | 20:54 |
| xiong | K menu is hard to configure, "dolphin" is strange and difficult, and it seems that everything takes a very long time | 20:54 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: okay, first thing, calm down | 20:54 |
| xiong | this C600 is a P3; that is not the latest and greatest but neither is it an antique | 20:55 |
| xiong | 750MHz processor | 20:55 |
| xiong | there is no reason for everything to run so godawfully slow | 20:55 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: linux distros take a little time to learn | 20:55 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: and you have to expect stuff to be strange, its different than what you have been using before | 20:56 |
| alonea | xiong: which kubuntu version are you trying to run? | 20:56 |
| coreymon77 | i assume you came from windows? | 20:56 |
| Pconfig | xiong: try vista on it and slow will get a new dimension for you :o | 20:56 |
| xiong | coreymon77: i'm as calm as i ever get | 20:56 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: besides, what you are trying to do is not an easy feat in my experience... reviving old hardware requires a lot of patienec :) | 20:56 |
| xiong | this is not a new crisis after all | 20:56 |
| xiong | i do *not* come from windoz | 20:56 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: how old is the computer? | 20:56 |
| xiong | i'm the last mac os 9 user on the planet | 20:57 |
| alonea | xiong: with that old of hardware, I would go for kde3, not 4. 4 isn't made for that P3. | 20:57 |
| coreymon77 | wait a minute? | 20:57 |
| xiong | the dell latitude C600 was new in 2001 | 20:57 |
| revourbis_ | This OS is great and everything but was it that hard to integrate out of the box mp3 playback...? | 20:57 |
| revourbis_ | I'm tinkering with it for almost an hour... | 20:57 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: yaeh, me too. i got a p4@2.4 and is not exactly flying... | 20:57 |
| coreymon77 | os 9? but werent macs still powerpc computers back then? | 20:57 |
| gorgonzola | revrubis_ that's a legal issue :) | 20:57 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_: ubuntu purist rules.. | 20:57 |
| xiong | yes, they were | 20:57 |
| revourbis_ | You gotta be kidding. | 20:58 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis_ and ideological, if you want it. but mainly legal: mp3 is patented. you can't distribute it as such | 20:58 |
| xiong | i get extremely respectable speed from a PPC running at 300 MHz under os 9 | 20:58 |
| alonea | xiong: and computers are considered out of date usually within a year or two. | 20:58 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis_ no, not really. | 20:58 |
| xiong | that PPC is about 15 years old and works great | 20:58 |
| xiong | beige G3 | 20:58 |
| revourbis_ | Aw well... | 20:59 |
| coreymon77 | ya, ppc linux distros arent exactly all that well supported anymore, they were also kinda buggy | 20:59 |
| xiong | but i'm not here to boost mac -- i'm switching to linux because, no matter how great os 9 *was*, it is no more | 20:59 |
| xiong | so the mac is in storage and now i have the dell laptop | 20:59 |
| alonea | xiong: so download kubuntu 8.04 if you havent and use that instead of 8.10 | 20:59 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: i'd say tht a g3 is more box than a p3 any time. In any case, you have enough hardware to run kunbuntu, but probably your hardware specs are not that standard. believe me, i have tried to get a p3 running newer stuff, and its incredible how old stuff ets unsupported... | 21:00 |
| xiong | and kubuntu and a huge bottle of aspirin | 21:00 |
| coreymon77 | xiong: with an old computer like that, i suggest against using kde4 | 21:00 |
| xiong | 8.04, eh? | 21:00 |
| revourbis_ | And is there any way around it...? I would really like to listen to some music while tinkering with kubuntu here and there. | 21:00 |
| Tm_T | coreymon77: why? | 21:00 |
| alonea | xiong: yes, that has kde3 | 21:00 |
| xiong | 8.04 uses kde3 | 21:00 |
| xiong | hmm | 21:00 |
| gorgonzola | coreymon77: plsease develop :) | 21:01 |
| xiong | okay; new question | 21:01 |
| gorgonzola | your idea that is | 21:01 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_: it still doesn't work? :o | 21:01 |
| xiong | one strategy that served me well for about 20 years was to have several different bootable hard drives in the same machine | 21:01 |
| alonea | xiong: which will run fine. kde4 needs more up to date hardware. dont take offense to this, but you could get a new laptop for really cheap these days. | 21:01 |
| gorgonzola | revourbis: what do you mean? you got no mp3 support? didn't amarok compain about that and offered to download the codecs? | 21:01 |
| revourbis_ | No not really. | 21:02 |
| alonea | xiong: but for your current laptop you should be good with that version. i gotta go. ja | 21:02 |
| revourbis_ | I'm trying to get Audacious to run now... | 21:02 |
| coreymon77 | gorgonzola: kde4 requires better hardware | 21:02 |
| xiong | can i do this with linux? download and set up a new distro without ditching the old one? | 21:02 |
| revourbis_ | I've had it back on Puppy Linux and I liked it. | 21:02 |
| kaddi | how can i get virtualbox to see the ".virtualbox"-folder in which it saves the virtual machines? how can i show "hidden" folders | 21:02 |
| coreymon77 | gorgonzola: plus, when first learning to use linux, kde 3 is much more stable and reliable, plus easier to use | 21:02 |
| Tm_T | xiong: ofcourse | 21:02 |
| gorgonzola | coreymon: kde3 o 4? i thought you suggested im to go with 4... | 21:02 |
| revourbis_ | I mean it runs, it gets the music in it's playlist but on play... does nothing at all. | 21:02 |
| gorgonzola | oooh, ok. you mistypedit above, and suggested kde4. | 21:02 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_: but amarok still doesn't play mp3? | 21:02 |
| revourbis_ | Nope. | 21:02 |
| Pconfig | so what did installing "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" give you? | 21:03 |
| xiong | Tm_T: how? | 21:03 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: no. a distro is an opertaing system. kubuntu is a distro. | 21:03 |
| revourbis_ | Well it installed that's sure. | 21:03 |
| coreymon77 | gorgonzola: no, read what i said, i suggest AGAINST using kde4 | 21:03 |
| Pconfig | and what does amarok say now? | 21:03 |
| Tm_T | coreymon77: I repeat, why? | 21:03 |
| gorgonzola | coreymon77: ok, my bad :P | 21:03 |
| shawn__ | maybe you need libxine1-ffmpeg revourbis_ ... I did | 21:04 |
| Tm_T | xiong: just install them in their own partitions, GRUB should be able to handle them just fine | 21:04 |
| coreymon77 | Tm_T: i just said above | 21:04 |
| Tm_T | coreymon77: how it requires better hardware? | 21:04 |
| gorgonzola | coreymon77: but wasn't kde4 supposed t be lighter? | 21:04 |
| coreymon77 | and i still think its stabler and easier to use | 21:04 |
| revourbis_ | I'll try. | 21:04 |
| gorgonzola | coreymon77: without desktop effects, sure. | 21:05 |
| shawn__ | ya it worked for me right after install that | 21:05 |
| xiong | okay well guys thx for all the help | 21:05 |
| xiong | gtg now | 21:05 |
| xiong | will try more stuff tomorrow | 21:05 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: be sure to come back if you have any problems... | 21:05 |
| Tm_T | coreymon77: I can run KDE4 in P3 600 MHz with 128 MiB ram just ine | 21:06 |
| Pconfig | i'm sorry it didn't work xiong, don't give up yet! :p | 21:06 |
| Tm_T | fine | 21:06 |
| gorgonzola | xiong: and try kubuntu 8.04, is much more stable than intrepid :) | 21:06 |
| shawn__ | wow I ran kde on a 900 Mhz machine and I didn't consider that fine. | 21:06 |
| shawn__ | *kde 3.5 | 21:06 |
| revourbis_ | I allready have that one installed. | 21:06 |
| Tm_T | shawn__: perhaps it was your settings then (:) | 21:06 |
| revourbis_ | And amarok sais... wait a sec pls. | 21:07 |
| xiong | thx all | 21:07 |
| shawn__ | maybe it was at college | 21:07 |
| revourbis_ | Some media could not be loaded (not playable). | 21:07 |
| pawan | Hi all | 21:07 |
| neothecat | good afternoon (EST). does anyone know a public calendar that synchs up seemlesly with kontact? i do not want to use gcaldaemon or anything like that. thanks! | 21:08 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_ that's a different message as your first one? | 21:08 |
| revourbis_ | Yes. | 21:08 |
| pawan | can somebody tell me wav to MP3 converter | 21:08 |
| * revourbis_ is sharpening that ol' rusty axe. | 21:08 | |
| pawan | apart from LAME | 21:08 |
| athlon1 | Hi, can any tell me where are all the optios of konqueror in kde4 (bluetooth, printers, cd-audio, devices,...). They where in kde3, but what happens in kde4? | 21:08 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_ right click the mp3 file ==> properties ==> permissions (do you have read access) ? | 21:08 |
| neothecat | pawan: sox | 21:09 |
| neothecat | pawan: sox works really good for a lot of conversions. | 21:09 |
| enig | I have an issue with Video playback at my Kubuntu. both Kaffeine and Dragon player seem to be skipping frames and i get some ocasional slowdowns. is this fixable?? | 21:09 |
| revourbis_ | And ownership goes to root. | 21:09 |
| pawan | thanks <"neothecat"> | 21:10 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_ are those files on a different drive or something? | 21:10 |
| Pconfig | probably a windows drive? | 21:10 |
| Brad777 | HEllo everyon cane u tell me how to fix this error: "Error API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 177.80, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 180.22. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version" | 21:11 |
| neothecat | pawan: i would suggest looking up "sox wav mp3 conversion". there are so many options, i just find it easier to copy and paste it | 21:11 |
| revourbis_ | Those are in the root folder as stated by Dolphin. | 21:11 |
| Pconfig | revourbis_: could give the exact path? | 21:11 |
| shawn__ | good luck revourbis_ I have to go I searched google a bit but didn't find any other things that would help you | 21:11 |
| Brad777 | I bought the 9800GTX+ and tried to install the proprietary driver | 21:12 |
| revourbis_ | Thanx Shawn, I apreciate. | 21:12 |
| revourbis_ | Root - host - music. | 21:12 |
| athlon1 | kubuntu 8.04 is LTS or is 8.10? | 21:12 |
| Tm_T | athlon1: latest Kubuntu LTS is 6.06 | 21:13 |
| Pconfig | revourbis: that's a strange folder :s how did they get there? | 21:13 |
| revourbis_ | Well I installed Kubuntu "inside windows" as the installer titled because it wouldn't start normally after reboot would return some funny errors and yeah.. So... | 21:14 |

| revourbis_ | I'd say no. | 21:23 |

| Pconfig | what are you going to upgrade? | 21:33 |
| neothecat | revourbis_: replace "gay" with jew, black, or any other group, and maybe you will understand what the problem is. using the word gay to mean the same as "stupid" or "bad" is very insulting. | 21:34 |
| Matt123 | Hi! Is there a channel for jaunty? | 21:34 |
| revourbis_ | @neothecat: Jew, black, mexicans etc. are born that way, gay people on the other side don't. And I refered to as gay at the situation beying out of the ordinary. I honestly think that having problems with a driver here or a compatibility thingy there with a new OS it's ok byt not beying able to play mp3 files is absolutely gay=out of the ordinary | 21:36 |
| neothecat | revourbis_: are you serious? are you really serious. and by the way, as someone who is was born into a jewish family and is now any atheist, being jewish is a choice. | 21:37 |

| aapzak | 4.2 RC1 that is | 21:58 |
| mohbana | 8800gts nvidia, the latest one from the repo, i just updated a few minutes ago | 21:58 |

| Pconfig | spot_: Kmenu -> programs -> Add/remove software | 22:01 |
