[00:29] I inserted the floppy, but there isn't a mention of it anywhere in /media/ [00:29] cadaverpimp: should be able to just put a floppy in the drive and it should recogize that it's there.

[00:35] Bilbo_Baggins: I have no problems playing DVD in Kubuntu 8.04 live CD eighter [00:35] Bilbo_Baggins: No, testing [00:35] ? [00:35] Bilbo_Baggins: Try again! Im in Kubuntu 8.10 64 bit, no DVD Playback, ok? [00:36] mefisto__: ill try that. what is aoss anyway? [00:36] Sp0tKubuntu: did you get the right codec from medibuntu repositories [00:36] Bilbo_Baggins: then i boot a live cd with Ubuntu 810 64 bit, 2 codec, working [00:36] Bilbo_Baggins: Same with Kubuntu 8.04 [00:36] lovre: plays oss audio through alsa. it seems from that error that this game wants to use oss [00:36] Bilbo_Baggins: But my INSTALLED Kubuntu 8.10 64 bit, no DVD Playback [00:37] Bilbo_Baggins: Thats why i think its a problem between Santa Rosa chipset and the default KDE desktopenviroment in Kubuntu 8.10 [00:37] Sp0tKubuntu: could be a regression on 8.10 or the commercial codec has been removed from the live cd.. I know to play commercial dvd in ubuntu 8.10 you have to get the codec from the medibuntu repo's.. it's not on the cd. [00:38] mefisto__: ok. what is oss? sorry for being a pest :( [00:38] Bilbo_Baggins: I get it from the net, downloading it! Telling u it works fine in all other distros than Kubuntu 810?

Not that I am aware of. [02:07] hmm... ok.. well... maybe I'll not worry about them for now, then.. [02:08] compiz takes away keys I use a lot, like CTL-F2 for the konsole [02:08] and I don't want conflicts with 3d programs.. [02:09] solifugus: Hrm. You might be able to change two things and find a "happy medium" [02:09] I use yakuake-kde4, mapped to F12. I find it a lot more convenient than Konsole [02:10] yakuake? never heard of it..

[02:11] solifugus: It doesn't show up on the taskbar, but you can maintain multiple windows, and it's always accessible from F12. Has an option to disappear when it loses focus. [02:13] kuaera: I will try it out.. anyway--it looks like they've totally messed up konsole.. no button to click for a new tab, no right-click menu to rename/close a tab... aarrgh! What did they do?

[02:24] I put in a dvd (with my backed up files) and something popped up but then went away cause I was typing when it came up.. [02:24] How can I open the dvd?

[02:54] Cerrdor: just install xubuntu-desktop [02:54] i installed the desktop but can i remove the kde [02:54] Cerrdor: files will be kept. but some settings that only belong to kde may not migrate to xfce [02:54] xubuntu seems to work soooo much faster [02:55] Cerrdor: you can. remove kubuntu desktop, and see it's dependencies for packages you may not need [02:55] hmm [02:58] hi I decided to give KDE another chance (I had to switch to the enemy) [02:58] today I installed KDE4.2 [02:58] * astromme notes that we don't have an enemy, per se, if I'm thinking what you're thinking [02:58] how can I put in the task bar those small icons to launch a program? taht's something I was never able to do with KDE4.1 [02:59] astromme, I hate gnome, personally [02:59] heh [02:59] and the library they use [02:59] Kubuntu offers a plasmoid for that, something like a "launcher plasmoid" or the like [02:59] part of my job is to program with Qt [03:00] so I would really like to go back to KDE :) but I need the quick launch icons :) [03:00] and KDE4.1 also can add launcher icons to its panel [03:00] just add the widget [03:01] alesan: in 4.2 there is a Quick Launch widget, which can have as many icons as you wish (I have about 20).. [03:02] gorgonizer, so how do I do (and... why it isn't there by default? like in KDE2) [03:03] gorgonizer, right button add widget... [03:03] QuickLaunch! yes it's there! [03:03] alesan: as to why, I know not, I guess as not everyone wants it as default.. and you have to know where the .desktop file for the programs are, unfortunately.. [03:04] hey what is this akonadi thing it pops up all the time and complains it's not registered with dbus [03:04] yeah [03:04] I guess they expect users of new wave to use the finder instead [03:05] AFAIK, it's a sort of KDE4 frontend to MySQL database. [03:05] kuaera, any idea how to uninstall it? [03:05] alesan: kmail depends on it [03:05] sudo apt-get remove akonadi? That's what I'd do >_> [03:05] alesan: if you don't need kmail, you can remove akonadi [03:05] syockit, I use thunderbird for historical reasons... [03:06] syockit, just out of curiosity, can kmail access an exchange server using the native protocol [03:06] alesan: also, amarok 2 is using it iirc [03:06] the one outlokk uses [03:06] alesan: i no familiar exchange server [03:07] alesan: actually just installed today after finding out Microsoft opened the pop for their live mail [03:09] installed today what, I do not understand [03:09] hey gorgonizer ... how do you *move* the quick launch? I'd like to have it near the (classic!) K menu [03:10] Panel settings [03:10] click the cashew on the panel (if there is one) and then you will be able to move teh entire widget.. [03:10] ok [03:11] alesan: you should see the 4-arrows icon [03:11] gorgonizer: Is there a way to remove the widget menu on the plasma desktop? [03:11] the learning curve is quite steep, thank you guys for the help [03:11] syockit, yeah I got it [03:11] kuaera: the icon in the top right corner? [03:11] kuaera: remove that thing on the corner? find "I hate the Cashew" on kde-look? [03:12] gorgonizer: Yes, thank you [03:12] !flv [03:12] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:12] anybody know how to get flv movies to play? [03:13] there should be no problem to uninstall 'dolphin' right? [03:14] alesan: what file manager do you use? [03:14] gorgonizer, konqueror? konqueror is the reason I installed KDE 0.9 [03:15] the brightest idea ever... I do not understand why they created dolphin [03:15] they wanted vista thing in kde [03:15] :( [03:16] alesan: the file management features of konqueror are from dolphin, so if you remove dolphin, some settings won't work (I believe, but I may be wrong) [03:16] I hate dolphin myself, but I had to set some things in dolphin for konqueror to work the way I like.. === quassel98 is now known as hettar [03:18] it seems if I remove dolphin many things get removed too... :( [03:19] how do I edit the command associated to a quicklaunch button?

[03:22] gorgonizer, mh... [03:22] Silly question but is anyone finding that kwin doesn't work with nvidia/composite and the latest updates to jaunty alpha 4? [03:24] uh, cause there is a ton of them.

[04:11] avi means very little. :) [04:11] it may of been under gnome file manager i saw the extra info [04:12] I can play about anything ive ever found under linux with mplayer, or vlc + the w32codec package [04:12] Perhaps, yeah, I'm using dolphin [04:12] in a terminal i think mplayer/vlc will print out some info about the file when ya play it [04:13] ok, I'll try installing one of those [04:15] i always insatll them both. :) [04:15] and gxine if i think about it [04:16] hello , guys , i got some Garbled message from hotmail, what should i do?

[04:27] tommy, and that progrm does what exactly? [04:28] hi, this is a software for digital painting [04:28] lets you diagram power supply and resistors [04:28] I would check the package manager.. theres proberly some similer tools.

[04:30] thanks i will look for spice. Would it be in applications add remove on ubuntu? [04:30] I use multisim for classes, but I tried.. I think it was easyspice. One of them is really good [04:30] tommy, no idea. i never use that crippled add/remove tool :) [04:31] woah woah, it's not crippled per se... [04:31] It just hides the things that many users don't want to care about [04:31] I am new never used any thing else [04:31] It even hides some things they do care about. :) [04:32] lets just say.. it needs 'work' and it pays to learn to use the other package manager tools [04:32] heh [04:32] of course, I agree with that [04:32] So, I think it was oregano that was good [04:33] tommy: yeah, that's it, oregano.
