| mefisto__ | what about http://localhost:631/ in a browser? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| _2 | correction. i'm >| |< this close to migrating to debian lenny. | 00:00 |
| mefisto__ | what about upgrading to hardy? | 00:01 |
| _2 | not a chance. | 00:02 |
| mefisto__ | why? | 00:02 |
| _2 | mefisto__ what kind of authentication does cups http access use ? | 00:02 |
| _2 | mefisto__ because i have debian lenny on disk and i'm on dialup. | 00:03 |
| mefisto__ | ok | 00:03 |
| mefisto__ | you could order new disks for free | 00:03 |
| _2 | it's asking for username and password. howto set the cups password ? | 00:04 |
| _2 | ok. i'll be blunt. i prefer debian. | 00:04 |
| mefisto__ | just the same as sudo, use your user/pass | 00:04 |
| _2 | ah that's why. i don't have a pasword | 00:05 |
| mefisto__ | so how were you doing sudo? | 00:05 |
| _2 | sudo echo boo | 00:05 |
| _2 | boo | 00:05 |
| _2 | cat /etc/sudoers | 00:05 |
| _2 | ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL | 00:05 |
| _2 | i'll have to unlock an account and test with a password i guess | 00:06 |
| _2 | nope no change. just loops back to the username/password screen | 00:07 |
| _2 | cat /usr/bin/sudo | 00:09 |
| _2 | sudo.real -u superusers_real_name "$@" | 00:09 |
| _2 | maybe i should make that more robust. it could parse for -u and omit the "-u superusers_real_name" if it finds it. | 00:10 |
| mossgix | hi there :) | 00:19 |
| _2 | ok i have hacked sudo to work propperly. i could actually setup the sudoers file and use it... | 00:21 |
| mefisto__ | does admin mode work now in kcontrol? | 00:21 |
| _2 | but kcontrol admin button is still malfunctioning. | 00:21 |
| mefisto__ | hmm | 00:21 |
| mado | oi guys and gals ... hello there ... | 00:23 |
| mado | can anyone please help me ... maybe talking privately to me ... i don't understand how to use "strigi" ... all i have noticed so far ... "strigi" helps me find some files doesn't it? | 00:24 |
| mefisto__ | mado: intrepid? | 00:25 |
| mado | erm ... yes mefisto__ ... i use intrepid ... 8.10 kubuntu | 00:25 |
| mado | why do you ask mefisto__ ? | 00:25 |
| mefisto__ | start the daemon first: strigidaemon & | 00:25 |
| mefisto__ | then: strigiclient | 00:26 |
| mado | i started it with -> /usr/bin/strigiclient | 00:26 |
| mefisto__ | did that start the daemon? could you do any searches? | 00:26 |
| mado | no :) | 00:26 |
| mado | ok ... now i try to start the daemon thing | 00:27 |
| mado | mefisto__, ... no window pops up | 00:27 |
| mefisto__ | mado: it will run in the background | 00:28 |
| mefisto__ | start the client, start indexing, then when it's done that it should be able to search | 00:28 |
| mado | uhuu ... ok ... i started the daemon thing with the command you showed me ... i put it in my kmenu | 00:28 |
| mado | ok ... just a sec mefisto__ ... i'm trying it out | 00:29 |
| mado | strigi client takes some time to load | 00:30 |
| _2 | i'll post the sudo wrapper script though. it's not a bad idea. http://pastebin.com/f53d8dd21 | 00:30 |
| mado | how long will the "indexing"-process take? | 00:31 |
| _2 | actually, seeing that someone might know what a wrapper is/does. i added an instruction. http://pastebin.com/f28c83c6a | 00:32 |
| mado | funny thing mefisto__ ... the counter for "documents indexed" for example still shows me 0 | 00:32 |
| _2 | might not+ even | 00:32 |
| mado | am i doing something wrong? mefisto__ | 00:32 |
| mado | unique words indexed = -1 | 00:32 |
| mefisto__ | mado: depends on how many files you have. by default it just indexes your home dir, excluding some system files | 00:32 |
| mado | well ... i told it that it should index my home dir and one folder on another partition | 00:33 |
| mado | but it still shows me "0" mefisto__ | 00:33 |
| mado | it looks like it doesn't work at all | 00:34 |
| mefisto__ | does status say indexing | 00:34 |
| mado | yes | 00:34 |
| mado | status = indexing | 00:34 |
| mado | maybe nepomuk's settings are stopping it? | 00:35 |
| mefisto__ | are there directories listed that it's indexing? | 00:35 |
| mado | yes ... both in strigi and nepomuk ... but oi ... can we both check if there is something wrong with nepomuk? | 00:36 |
| mefisto__ | mine says "strigi service not running" but strigiclient seems to work | 00:37 |
| mefisto__ | I should tell you this is on kde 4.2 | 00:37 |
| mado | ".*/" ".*" "*~" "*.part" these are the four things that are in the "exclude"-section ... i didn't mess arount with it | 00:38 |
| mado | oh! ... hmm ... yesterday somebody told me i should be careful and wait for kde4.2 | 00:38 |
| mado | a more stable one | 00:38 |
| mefisto__ | that's what I have, and the index folders are just home dir and subdirs | 00:39 |
| mado | subdirs? ... do i have to tell strigi this too? | 00:39 |
| mado | because ... whenever i try to add a subdir ... it doesn't show up in the list :) | 00:40 |
| mado | do you suggest installing kde4.2? | 00:40 |
| mado | or do you also say that i should wait? | 00:40 |
| mefisto__ | mado: in the nepomuk settings, there is a directory tree, with tickboxes. mine has home and everything under it ticked | 00:40 |
| mefisto__ | mado: 4.2 is a huge improvement, but everyone seems to have hiccups with the upgrade | 00:41 |
| mefisto__ | mine was a fresh intrepid install, I immediately did the 4.2 upgrade first thing | 00:42 |
| mefisto__ | the only problem I had was gwenview wouldn't start. I removed it, then installed it again, and everything was fine | 00:42 |
| mado | what do you think? ... should i try it too? | 00:42 |
| mefisto__ | some people with nvidia have had screenres problems after upgrade too | 00:43 |
| mado | oh! ... i've got some nvidia-stuff in this computer | 00:44 |
| mefisto__ | mado: have you tried virtualbox? you could do an install in that to try it, decide if its' worth the hassle | 00:44 |
| mado | no ... have never used virtualbox ever before :) | 00:45 |
| mado | i just don't get it why the "indexing"-process never works / never worked | 00:45 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I have nvidia and had no problems with the upgrade.. | 00:47 |
| gorgonizer | well, no major problems, jus tto correct myself.. | 00:47 |
| _2 | well i got the the bottom of the printer issue. stupid system thought it was a "network printer" | 00:47 |
| mado | what does that mean gorgonizer ? :) | 00:47 |
| mado | mefisto__, looks like i can't use strigi :) ... it won't work | 00:48 |
| gorgonizer | well, there appear to be a few packages that contain the same file, so when installed the second package moans that the file is already there, and fails to install. There is a dpkg option which corrects this, so the problem was minor. :) | 00:49 |
| khalid | como puedo entrar a la sala de ubuntu-es | 00:50 |
| khalid | por fa | 00:50 |
| mado | "/join #ubuntu-es" khalid | 00:51 |
| mado | without -> " | 00:51 |
| mado | sin -> " | 00:51 |
| mado | gorgonizer, ... i think i can live with that ... at least when someone helps me with this problem ... i'm a beginner | 00:52 |
| gorgonizer | no problem, I should be able to assist if required.. | 00:53 |
| khalid | vale gracias | 00:53 |
| mado | ¡de nada! khalid | 00:53 |
| gorgonizer | I think with the newer versions of the kde 4.2 packages the only issue is between a koffice package and the oygen package.. | 00:54 |
| mado | uhuu ... i don't use koffice at the moment | 00:54 |
| gorgonizer | then there should be no problem with the upgrade :) | 00:55 |
| mado | i hope so ... | 00:55 |
| zedoctor | if i install kubuntu kde, is it still easy to use my normal desktop? | 00:55 |
| zedoctor | my gnome destop | 00:55 |
| mado | because i finally want this whole thing more and more to work :) | 00:55 |
| gorgonizer | zedoctor: on the chosen login screen you will be able to choose Gnome or KDE.. | 00:55 |
| zedoctor | yey, | 00:55 |
| gorgonizer | mado: as mentioned previously, kde 4.2 is a big improvement on 4.1.. | 00:56 |
| mado | well ... you must know that i'm a bit more afraid of some updates and so on ... | 00:56 |
| mado | :) | 00:57 |
| zedoctor | i like how simple my unbuntu standard 8.10 install is. it's a big improvement since i last used redhat years ago | 00:57 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I was to begin with, but I learned over time that using the command line to update and upgrade allows you to see more errors... | 00:57 |
| gorgonizer | mado: assuming htere are any.. | 00:57 |
| mado | gorgonizer, ... can you help me with that? -> http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 ... | 00:58 |
| mado | it says -> 4. Old Plasma packages are not compatible with KDE 4.2, you should uninstall any plasmoids. | 00:58 |
| mado | which of the things i have are old? | 00:58 |
| mado | how should i know that? | 00:58 |
| kdhein | Hi all, I am a long time (K)ubuntu/linux user and am having a bizzarre booting problem I could really use some assistance with. Anyone want to try and help me? | 00:59 |
| mado | oi there kdhein ... haven't i seen you yesterday too? :) | 00:59 |
| mado | gorgonizer, ? | 00:59 |
| gorgonizer | mado: they would all be considered to be old I think..., though I am not sure how true that issue is tbh... but at the command line do sudo apt-get purge kdeplasmoids | 01:00 |
| kdhein | mado: probably not, I do not usually hang out on IRC | 01:01 |
| mado | erm gorgonizer ... it did nothing | 01:01 |
| mado | it says ... | 01:01 |
| mado | Paket kdeplasmoids ist nicht installiert, wird also auch nicht entfernt | 01:01 |
| gorgonizer | mado: in that case, don't worry, have you ran the gpg command | 01:01 |
| mado | :) | 01:01 |
| mado | yes | 01:01 |
| gorgonizer | and added the repository? | 01:02 |
| mado | yes | 01:02 |
| mado | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ... gorgonizer ? | 01:02 |
| gorgonizer | if so, run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:02 |
| gorgonizer | or yours, I am not sure, overall, if there would be a difference.. | 01:03 |
| gorgonizer | mado: let me know if an error occurs during the upgrade process.. :) | 01:03 |
| gorgonizer | kdhein: what problem are you having on boot? | 01:03 |
| mado | well ... i'll take yours ... because you said you've done it before ... of course gorgonizer :) | 01:03 |
| kdhein | gorgonizer: I can boot to a recovery console just fine, but normal boot does not work | 01:04 |
| kdhein | it seems to be booting up fine and then I see some strange segfaults | 01:04 |
| kdhein | then X fails | 01:04 |
| kdhein | stty fails | 01:04 |
| kdhein | so you can't get in anything to poke around | 01:04 |
| gorgonizer | kdhein: if you boot in recovery mode, does X start? | 01:05 |
| kdhein | I have a 2nd drive that is older that I am running on now and can mount the 'bad' drive to look at logs but nothing is jumping out at me | 01:05 |
| kdhein | gorgonizer: recovery do not do X | 01:06 |
| kdhein | I did not try to do an kdm/startx from root prompt | 01:06 |
| kdhein | I first suspicioned filesystem corruption but fsck came back clean | 01:07 |
| gorgonizer | kdhein: ahh no worries.. in dmesg does it show the segfaults, if, it does what is beforehand? | 01:07 |
| kdhein | and I have not come across any trouble reading anything form the drive when booted from something else | 01:07 |
| kdhein | jas | 01:07 |
| gorgonizer | jas? | 01:08 |
| gorgonizer | kdhein: do you have more than one kernel installed? If so, does error occur with all kernels? | 01:09 |
| kdhein | gorgonizer: how do I get dmesg to display a specific log? IE dmesg /media/sdb2/var/log/dmesg | 01:09 |
| kdhein | yes, I get same thing with multiple kernels (did not try them all) | 01:09 |
| gorgonizer | kdhein: grep the dmesg for sbd2 (if that is the drive in question) | 01:10 |

| quadaptor | exists a command thats extract n bytes from the middle (= a specified position) of a file, like tail/head? e.g. command -s 35 -b 29 => extract 29 bytes from byte/position 35 (starts at 29. byte) | 01:13 |

| SuspectZero | how big do u guys recommend the /boot partition be? | 01:13 |
| _2 | SuspectZero 200m | 01:14 |
| kdhein | gorgonizer: yes, I made it all the way through 1.5 passes on the 3gig I have and no trouble | 01:14 |
| gorgonizer | hmmm, as I asked my friend to have a look, and he indicated it could be memory or hard drive.. | 01:15 |
| SuspectZero | thanks _2 | 01:15 |
| kdhein | that is all I could find all dday too... | 01:15 |
| kdhein | I also found that /etc/initramfs/conf.d/resume referenced a wrong UUID that I fixed as well but still can't boot | 01:16 |
| mado | gorgonizer, ... there is / are (an) error/s | 01:17 |
| gorgonizer | mado, what error did you receive? | 01:17 |
| mado | i don't really know ... but here ... have a look ... -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117075/ | 01:18 |
| mado | line 16 and 75 | 01:18 |
| mado | there is the word "fehler" which means "error" | 01:19 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I understand a bit of german, so what you need to do is sudo spkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa7_i386.deb | 01:19 |
| gorgonizer | *dpkg.. | 01:19 |
| gorgonizer | kdhein: so fsck found no problems on the disc? | 01:19 |
| kdhein | correct | 01:20 |
| _2 | badblocks it | 01:20 |
| mado | gorgonizer, -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117076/ | 01:20 |
| mado | gorgonizer, as far as i can see i need to install some newer versions of some stuff | 01:21 |
| gorgonizer | mado: do sudo dpkg --configure -a | 01:21 |
| kdhein | _2: do I need to specify any special options? or just #badblocks /dev/sdb2 | 01:23 |
| _2 | just | 01:23 |
| mado | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117077/ ... i guess the interessting lines are from line 178 downards | 01:23 |
| kdhein | ok, it been running a bit, but it is like a 75gig partition | 01:23 |
| mado | or do you say "downwards" gorgonizer ? ... you know what i mean i guess | 01:23 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I tend to say whatever my mind decides would be amusing at the time tbh, but anyways, redo sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:25 |
| _2 | mado line 178 + | 01:25 |

| mado | gorgonizer, ... erm ... i don't know ... well ... i only know that my notebook has a "nvidia geforce 8600M" in it | 01:44 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I think you still need to do that long dpkg command tbh.. | 01:44 |
| zedoctor | freaking mouse accerlaration | 01:44 |
| mado | i need it? | 01:44 |
| mado | why? | 01:44 |
| zedoctor | !! | 01:44 |
| mado | zedoctor, *laughing a bit* | 01:45 |
| zedoctor | how do turn it off in kde 4.2 ? | 01:45 |
| gorgonizer | mado: from perusing the last couple of pages of pastebin, I cannot see kde-window-manager being installed/upgraded.. | 01:45 |
| _2 | kcontrol ? | 01:45 |
| zedoctor | ta | 01:45 |
| mefisto__ | zedoctor: systemsettings, keyboard & mouse | 01:45 |
| mado | :) wanted to suggest the same thing | 01:46 |
| mado | wasn't quick enough | 01:46 |
| zedoctor | sorry, im a recent linux noob. seriously. default mouse accel.. no please dont copy windows | 01:46 |
| zedoctor | its nausiating | 01:46 |
| _2 | kcontrol should never be phased out | 01:46 |
| killermach | trying to install a USB printer which already works on Kubuntu.. I removed to rename, now the wizard does not let me pick "Local printer(parallel, serial, USB)" | 01:46 |
| mado | oh! gorgonizer ... ok ... then ... what is the command i need to type in? | 01:46 |
| killermach | it's grayed out | 01:46 |
| cbwcjw | Hey fellas | 01:47 |
| gorgonizer | mado: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa7_i386.deb | 01:47 |
| mado | i thought it has already upgraded kde-window-manager | 01:47 |
| killermach | when I plug it in .. a tail -f /var/log/messages shows it connecting everytime I plug it in | 01:47 |
| zedoctor | wow reverse mouse accel, now thats trippy | 01:47 |
| killermach | I just installed it a few minutes ago.. | 01:48 |
| mado | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117091/ gorgonizer :) | 01:48 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I thought the last time you ran the command above it failed, and the window-manager package was not listed in the upgrade list.. | 01:48 |
| mefisto__ | _2: kcontrol is probably just not kde4-ready yet. I'm sure it will be eventually | 01:48 |
| killermach | what happened to the "Add Printer Wizard"? | 01:48 |
| mado | uhuu gorgonizer ... what now? -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117091/ | 01:48 |
| gorgonizer | mado: from that, install is complete :) a reboot of the computer should unlock the greatness of kde 4.2 :) | 01:49 |
| zedoctor | pointer threshold 0 pixels, how it should be!!! | 01:49 |
| mado | ok ... will you wait for me? | 01:49 |
| mado | so that i can tell you if it worked :) | 01:49 |
| gorgonizer | mado: I will be here... | 01:49 |
| mado | ok ... see you | 01:49 |
| gorgonizer | cbwcjw: how are you? | 01:49 |
| mefisto__ | killermach: kmenu>system>printers | 01:49 |
| mado | see you all other gals and guys too :) | 01:50 |
| EtFb | I'm planning to wipe my Intrepid install and go back to Hardy (because even KDE 4.2 has too many problems) but I notice that suspend, the ATI video driver and the wifi don't work from the Live CD. Is that normal? Can I expect things to work better once I install, or is it a warning sign that my Toshiba A300 is too incompatible? | 01:50 |
| quassel136 | any idea how to fix touchpad in kubuntu 9.04 alpha 4? | 01:50 |
| EtFb | (Note that the video drivers and wifi work in Intrepid, but the suspend doesn't.) | 01:50 |
| EtFb | quassel136: Does the usual fiddlign around with SHMConfig work? | 01:51 |
| killermach | mefisto__: I have kmenu-> system-> printing | 01:52 |
| quassel136 | i'm trying everything but this not work | 01:52 |
| * _2 wonders why photo quality grey scale on photo paper is not an option on his system.... | 01:53 | |
| quassel184 | I install iBus input method, but I can not active it. please help me, it is emergency | 01:53 |
| quassel184 | I want to input Chinese chat | 01:53 |
| killermach | mefisto__: I have Basic Server Settings.. and no buttons to press, but some check boxes | 01:53 |
| killermach | mefisto__: "Apply" and "Revert" are greyed out buttons | 01:54 |
| mado | gorgonizer, ... | 01:54 |
| _2 | quassel136 the pre-release channel is #ubuntu+1 they should know something about the alpha/beta in there. | 01:54 |
| mado | new colors, a new kdm-theme, a new wallpaper, a new k-menu is greeting me :) | 01:54 |
| gorgonizer | mado: hello :) | 01:54 |
| gorgonizer | mado: that sounde encouraging... | 01:55 |
| quassel136 | ok, thanks _2 | 01:55 |
| mado | yeah ... let me give you that ... -> gorgonizer -> https://www.blumen.at/_pic/prod/strgemsaisonal3_xl.jpg | 01:55 |
| EtFb | I have a feeling the reason I can't suspend/hibernate in KDE 4.2 is because there are two conflicting "engines" driving the power control. How do I find what's making it suspend and fail? | 01:55 |
| mado | it looks like it's a bit faster too | 01:56 |
| gorgonizer | mado: thank you :) | 01:56 |
| mado | :) | 01:56 |
| EtFb | "If a complete stranger suddenly gives you flowers, don't worry - that's Intrepid." | 01:56 |
| * EtFb wonders if anyone outside Australia has seen that ad... | 01:56 | |
| mado | pardon EtFb ? | 01:57 |
| mado | there's a commercial? | 01:57 |
| _2 | huh ? | 01:57 |
| mefisto__ | I'm in Australia and I haven't seen that ad | 01:57 |
| * _2 guesses that answeres that | 01:57 | |
| EtFb | mado: The original advertisement was for a perfume called Impulse, so it kind of seemed appropriate... | 01:57 |
| mefisto__ | oh, impulse! | 01:58 |
| mefisto__ | hehe | 01:58 |
| mado | EtFb, i didn't know something of this ad ... but i wanted to express my thanks | 01:58 |
| mado | it has nothing to do with gorgonizer's perfume :) *laughing a bit* | 01:58 |
| EtFb | mado: On the internet, nobody knows you smell like a dog... | 01:59 |
| mado | *laughing again* | 01:59 |
| mado | well ... *thinking* ... | 01:59 |
| killermach | something must need to be restarted for printing to see the USB connections | 02:00 |
| _2 | "this is IRC, where men are men, and women are men, and little children are FBI agents" | 02:00 |
| mado | can anyone help me with my webcam too please? | 02:00 |
| nuno_ | Algum purtugues? | 02:00 |
| nuno_ | portugues? | 02:00 |
| mado | i think i should give it a try to see if it works this time with linux :) | 02:00 |
| EtFb | _2: ... And someone will one day discover that ALL the child porn sites are being run by law enforcement agencies to trap paedophiles... | 02:00 |
| EtFb | !pt | 02:01 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 02:01 |
| EtFb | (Woohoo! I guessed the country code!) | 02:01 |
| mado | EtFb, :)) | 02:01 |
| _2 | EtFb not all. some are being ran by law enforcement agents to entertain other law enforcement agents... | 02:01 |
| === _2 is now known as Agent_bob | ||
| mefisto__ | killermach: this is what I have: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3259/printov5.png | 02:02 |
| mado | please ... that's ... *coughing a bit* ... not nice | 02:02 |
| Agent_bob | but mind you this is not the place for that. | 02:02 |
| EtFb | So anyhow... is anyone else having trouble with hibernate and suspend since the new kernel came out? | 02:02 |
| mado | gorgonizer, do you know something about webcams too? | 02:02 |
| gorgonizer | mado: not really tbh, but which webcam is it? | 02:03 |
| Agent_bob | !webcam | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:03 |
| EtFb | mado: I always got mine to work pretty easily. Use Apt to get a program called cheese. It might Just Work (you know, the way they say Ubuntu should). | 02:03 |
| mado | well ... i only know that it should be a logitech ... but as it is a built-in-model i don't really know for sure | 02:03 |
| mado | EtFb, ... is there a problem with "ubuntu"? | 02:04 |
| Agent_bob | lshw | less | 02:04 |
| Agent_bob | mado ^ hardware list | 02:04 |
| mado | Agent_bob, --- you're no longer no. 2? | 02:04 |
| Agent_bob | that's base two | 02:04 |
| mado | i can only use this list if i know what webcam is built in can't i? | 02:04 |
| mado | sorry Agent_bob | 02:05 |
| mado | base 2 ... oi --- | 02:05 |
| EtFb | mado: Just meant that Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) is kind of meant to solve little hardware problems for you. In my experience, webcams are easy but microphones are hard. | 02:05 |
| Agent_bob | mado try it. lshw | less | 02:05 |
| mado | you just reminded me of one thing Agent_bob | 02:05 |
| mado | thank you | 02:05 |
| mado | typed in the command ... | 02:07 |
| mado | let's see what we have here | 02:07 |
| mado | nice command | 02:07 |
| Agent_bob | mado yes and the arrow keys work + the search functions work man less for details | 02:08 |
| mado | :) i just tried to copy the output into a file :) | 02:09 |
| mado | isn't that possible too? | 02:09 |
| Agent_bob | s | 02:10 |
| Agent_bob | like i said man less | 02:10 |
| mado | currently reading it :) | 02:10 |
| mefisto__ | mado: you could use > instead of | to send it to a file | 02:10 |
| mefisto__ | like this:lshw > ~/lshw.txt | 02:11 |
| mado | and "~/" is my home-dir? | 02:11 |
| mefisto__ | yes | 02:12 |
| mado | ok ... let's try it out :) | 02:12 |
| Agent_bob | mado if you just want to redirrect the output of the lshw command yes lshw > filename | 02:12 |
| mefisto__ | then you can do: less lshw.txt | 02:12 |
| Agent_bob | but if you meant lshw | less and want to "save" it to a file. s filename | 02:13 |
| aPpLeSiA | any one is singapore know the website for loyang point ? | 02:13 |
| mado | i typed in "sudo lshw > ~/lshw.txt" and opened the file with kate :) | 02:13 |
| killermach | mefisto__: here is what I get.. differs from you. http://test.myweb.net/printer_shot.jpg | 02:13 |
| mado | the file has been saved in my home-dir | 02:14 |
| Agent_bob | we vould get completely stupid and use echo "`lshw `" | cat > filename ; less filename | less | 02:14 |
| mefisto__ | killermach: is that hardy? | 02:14 |
| mado | but when i use the "search"-function and write "cam" it doesn't show me something | 02:14 |
| mado | sorry ... i mean "anything" | 02:15 |
| mado | what does that do Agent_bob ? :) | 02:15 |
| mado | should i try it out? | 02:15 |
| Agent_bob | same as lshw | less | 02:15 |
| mado | but? .... where's the catch? | 02:15 |
| killermach | mefisto__: still on 8.04.1 | 02:15 |
| Agent_bob | just wastes pipes and also prints to a file. filename | 02:16 |
| mefisto__ | killermach: systemsettings, printers | 02:16 |
| mado | uhuu ... ok ... | 02:16 |
| killermach | mefisto__: what's odd is I just ran the wizard 10 mins prior.. printer installed and printed.. I removed to install as a new name.. | 02:16 |
| mado | guys and gals ... when i use the search-function it doesn't show me "cam" | 02:16 |
| killermach | mefisto__: that's where I installed the first time | 02:16 |
| itan | que tal | 02:16 |
| mado | anything else i should try to find the webcam? | 02:16 |
| gorgonizer | mado: if you think it is made by Logitech, try searching for Logitech? | 02:18 |
| mado | i did ... but it didn't show me a result | 02:19 |
| Agent_bob | mado i'm not sure what "class" the webcam is. maybe search /tec | 02:19 |
| mefisto__ | probably multimedia class | 02:19 |
| Agent_bob | mefisto__ probably, but i wasn't sure. i don't have one. | 02:19 |
| mefisto__ | I'm not sure either | 02:20 |
| mefisto__ | just guessing | 02:20 |
| Agent_bob | mado check /MULTI | 02:20 |
| Agent_bob | and n | 02:20 |
| mefisto__ | lshw -short gives you a list without the details | 02:20 |
| ktuttle | need help with kubuntu on hp laptop. New install the screen is 800x600. my desktop is smaller than the screen | 02:20 |
| mado | no results | 02:20 |
| michael | I'm having trouble with compiling code!! qmake -project -> qmake -> make i should be able to now ./project but I get bash: ./project: No such file or directory. Can someone help me out please? | 02:20 |
| kdhein | Agent_bob: gorgonizer: ok badblocks finally finished. It did not list any messages. now what? | 02:21 |
| mado | wasn't there a "ls*"-command for showing it? | 02:21 |
| Agent_bob | lspci will report the pci bus lsusb the usb devices | 02:22 |
| ktuttle | I already went into KRandRtray resize | 02:22 |
| mado | well ... when it is built in ... can it be "usb" ? | 02:22 |
| mado | i don't think so | 02:22 |
| Agent_bob | kdhein so ram is good and disk is good. then software is bad. file bug report | 02:22 |
| gorgonizer | mado: it could be I think.. | 02:22 |
| Agent_bob | mado it can be usb yes. will yours be on the usb bus i don't know. | 02:23 |
| mefisto__ | ktuttle: was there any option higher than 800x600 ? | 02:23 |
| mado | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/117098/ | 02:23 |
| ktuttle | no just 800x600 | 02:23 |
| mefisto__ | ktuttle: installed restricted drivers? | 02:24 |
| mado | i don't know what this is -> Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. | 02:24 |
| kdhein | Agent_bob: it was all working fine for a long time until I went to bed last night... This morning I noticed some strange things and decided to reboot (things have to be pretty weird for me to do that) and ever since I have this trouble | 02:24 |
| Agent_bob | 42 Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. | 02:24 |
| ktuttle | would I need to go to hp and see if there are drivers for my laptop? | 02:24 |
| kdhein | so I dont think software is bad... something is out of kilter and I do not know how to determine what | 02:24 |
| kdhein | I need some help re-aligning the planets | 02:25 |
| mado | yeah Agent_bob ... i saw that too ... but i've never seen something from omnivision tech inc | 02:25 |
| mado | windows tells me my cam is from "logitech" | 02:25 |
| mado | it never said something about "omnivision" | 02:25 |
| Agent_bob | kdhein all i know is. when the hardware all checks out... blame the software. | 02:25 |
| gorgonizer | mado the serial 05a9:2640 is apprently an integrated Logitech/Acer webcam... | 02:25 |
| kdhein | lol | 02:26 |
| mado | ? | 02:26 |
| mado | wow ... well ... at least now i know what this stands for :) | 02:26 |
| mado | and now? | 02:27 |
| mado | what should i do? | 02:27 |
| mefisto__ | ktuttle: kmenu>system>hardware drivers | 02:27 |
| mefisto__ | ktuttle: if there's a tickbox to enable it, it will install/enable, then restart X (alt-ctrl-backspace) and log in again | 02:27 |
| mefisto__ | omnivision make the sensors in cameras | 02:28 |
| mado | uhuu | 02:28 |
| Agent_bob | mado so it is on the usb bus | 02:28 |
| mado | yeah ... and now? ... how can i make it work? :) | 02:28 |
| killermach | mefisto__: lsusb shows my printer : Bus 002 Device 006: ID 03f0:2811 Hewlett-Packard PSC-2100 | 02:28 |
| mado | *laughing a bit* ... | 02:28 |
| mado | i don't get the thing with buses :) | 02:29 |
| ktuttle | i have been in there and it says there are no proprietary drivers in use. | 02:29 |
| ktuttle | hp's web site doesn't list any linux drivers | 02:29 |
| inanimate | If darkenergy ever comes back, somebody should tell him that Bluetooth works if it hasn't crashed. | 02:30 |
| Agent_bob | mado different buses use different protocals to interface the devices they support. but this is not hardware 101 really | 02:30 |
| mado | what does that mean Agent_bob ? *thinking and rereading the line again* | 02:30 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle hp for the most part are supported open source, check the cups database for your device | 02:31 |
| mado | Agent_bob, ... ktuttle ... ... about the printer -> http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardwaredatenbank/Peripherie#Drucker | 02:31 |
| mado | i can't see a "2100" in it ... but a "2110" is | 02:31 |
| killermach | great | 02:32 |
| mado | ? | 02:32 |
| killermach | "the module User Management could not be loaded." | 02:32 |
| mado | Agent_bob, i still don't really understand it :) | 02:32 |
| Agent_bob | mado it means "part one"... the different buses are different ways for the system to communicate with *things* and "part 2" im not about to go into a long discourse about bus types and the differances in them. | 02:32 |
| killermach | "Possible reasons: An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module" | 02:33 |
| ktuttle | i don't think cups will help will it? i am talking about my hp laptop | 02:33 |
| Agent_bob | mado maybe use "wikipidia.org" | 02:33 |
| mado | ok ok ... sorry ... that's some technical stuff i can read somewhere else ... i will do that later :) | 02:33 |
| mado | so erm ... what can i do to see if the webcam works? | 02:33 |
| mado | or ... how do i make it work? | 02:34 |
| mado | do i have to install something first? | 02:34 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle ummm did i misread ? thought you were on about a printer | 02:34 |
| Agent_bob | !webcam | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:34 |
| Agent_bob | mado i suggest you check the last link first | 02:35 |
| mado | ok | 02:35 |
| ktuttle | no my install only shows 800x600. it doesn't fill the whole laptop screen | 02:35 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle ah. ok. install the vidio driver for your hardware | 02:36 |
| Agent_bob | !ati | ktuttle | 02:36 |
| ubottu | ktuttle: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:36 |
| mado | unfortunately there are no results for "05a9:2640" | 02:36 |
| Agent_bob | mado check by name | 02:36 |
| mado | as i told you ... i don't know the name | 02:37 |
| ktuttle | i will try that thanks | 02:37 |
| mado | i only know it's a logitech one :) | 02:37 |
| gorgonizer | mado: from the Internet your webcam should be supported in the kernel - http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ | 02:37 |
| mado | uhuu gorgonizer ... what does that mean? | 02:37 |
| Agent_bob | mado means https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 02:38 |
| mado | Agent_bob, :) thanks ... | 02:38 |
| cbwcjw | !webcam | 02:38 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:38 |
| cbwcjw | Oh, that was done earlier. | 02:38 |
| cbwcjw | :/ | 02:38 |
| Agent_bob | !botsnack | 02:39 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 02:39 |
| cbwcjw | :) There we go! | 02:39 |
| mado | and erm ... | 02:39 |
| gorgonizer | mado: that website lists your webcam serial 05a9:2640 is covered by the UVC webcam driver.. which is in the kernel as of 2.6.26 | 02:40 |
| mado | gorgonizer, ... you knew what i wanted to ask ... so ... | 02:40 |
| mado | For UVC devices luvcview is a good program you can use to test that the camera is working. If it doesn't work, you may need to update the UVC driver (see Manual install instructions below). | 02:40 |
| mado | means ... | 02:40 |
| mado | i can use "luvcview" | 02:40 |
| Agent_bob | mado command uname -r | 02:40 |
| mado | Agent_bob, -> 2.6.27-11-generic | 02:41 |
| Agent_bob | ok that's higher than 2.6.26 so go for it. | 02:41 |
| mado | ;) ... "luvcview" ? | 02:41 |
| ktuttle | how about trident video drivers | 02:42 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle <blinks> ummm are you sure that your hardware supports higher resolution ? | 02:43 |
| mado | wohoo! ... it worked :) | 02:44 |
| Agent_bob | i had a trident card that would do 1024x768 one time... | 02:44 |
| ktuttle | no | 02:44 |
| ktuttle | i am not sure on anything right now | 02:44 |
| mado | thank you guys ... -> http://www.rat-pack-zweirad-boettger.de/assets/images/Blumenstrauss_klein.jpg | 02:44 |
| mado | flowers :) | 02:44 |
| mado | ok ... *thinking* --- now there's only one thing more i can think of at the moment ... | 02:45 |
| mado | the microphone :) | 02:45 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle well the xorg module for trident should already be installed you can check the log file to see if it's being used. grep -i trident /var/log/Xorg* | 02:45 |
| ktuttle | lspci | grep VGA show a trident card microsystem cyberblade | 02:45 |
| ktuttle | ok | 02:46 |
| Agent_bob | ah cyberblade yeah that should support upto at least 1024x768 | 02:46 |
| mado | and strigi ... but the microphone first :) | 02:47 |
| Agent_bob | not sure it will go any higher though. and you may need to turn the depth down to 15 | 02:47 |
| ktuttle | where will it say what is being used. a lot of info | 02:47 |
| Agent_bob | mado alsamixer | 02:47 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle ummm just a sec. | 02:48 |
| mado | ok ... and then Agent_bob ? | 02:48 |
| Agent_bob | ktuttle grep -i trident /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i driver | 02:49 |
| ktuttle | (==) Matched trident for the autoconfigured driver | 02:50 |
| ktuttle | (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//trident_drv.so | 02:50 |

| Agent_bob | ktuttle ok it's using the "best" driver for the hardware. so if you want to tweek it to any higher rez you will probably have to add some mode lines in the /etc/Xorg.conf file not sure that will gain you much though. that hardware doesn't do high end graphics | 02:52 |

| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:15 |

| ubottu | ktuttle: In KDE use « kdesudo <program> » (or « kdesu <program> » for Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! | See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to find out why | 03:16 |
| ktuttle | mefisto I tried to paste that in and it will not let me. | 03:16 |
| mefisto__ | ktuttle: you should know that any changes to xorg.conf might result in no graphical login, so you would have to login in terminal and change it back before you can login with kde | 03:17 |

| tonka | you often place 'assert' commands in your code to ensure some condition is true | 06:40 |

| aPpLeSiA | do i need to boot from live disc or install inside vista? | 07:56 |
| beachsurfin | you will need to boot into the live disc | 07:56 |
| Panarchy | nahy: Try something fun. Dare you to sudo rm -rf / | 07:56 |
| Panarchy | hahahahaha | 07:57 |
| * Panarchy tells nahy not to do that, unless on LiveCD | 07:57 | |

| aPpLeSiA | *boot | 07:57 |
| Panarchy | mate | 07:58 |
| Panarchy | listen up, what OS do you have? | 07:58 |
| nahy | what does rm -rf do? | 07:58 |
| Panarchy | sudo rm -rf / | 07:58 |
| Panarchy | deleted your entire OS | 07:58 |
| Panarchy | everything except the file-system | 07:58 |
| genii | !danger | 07:58 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 07:58 |
| nahy | i've installed kubuntu 8.04 | 07:59 |
| beachsurfin | i can't even purge koffice-kde4 | 07:59 |
| Panarchy | <aPpLeSiA>: What OS do you have installed, other than kubuntu? | 07:59 |
| beachsurfin | apt-get -f install doesn't help | 07:59 |
| Panarchy | beachsurfin: Did you try the command I told you? | 07:59 |
| aPpLeSiA | windows vista home basic' | 07:59 |
| beachsurfin | apt-get purge? | 07:59 |
| genii | Please don't advertise in an open channel how to hose a system when there may be ppl present who copy and paste things and run them to see what happens | 07:59 |
| beachsurfin | http://pastie.org/386836 | 08:00 |
| Panarchy | that's right apt-get purge should do the job | 08:00 |
| Panarchy | aPpLeSiA: Follow my directions exactly. Boot from the Vista BootDisc. Press Next. Click on repair. Click on command prompt. Type in these 3 commands: bootrec /fixMBR bootrec /fixboot bootrec /rebuildBCD | 08:01 |
| Panarchy | Then, you'll be able to boot into Vista. Now this should work, install EasyBCD and add kubuntu to the list | 08:02 |
| genii | nahy: By the way /var/log content deletion is not crucial. But deleting /etc contents can be fatal | 08:02 |
| Panarchy | Now at bootup you should be able to select between Vista and Kubuntu | 08:02 |
| nahy | genii: ok thank you | 08:03 |
| Panarchy | aPpLeSiA: Are you doing the steps I told you to do? | 08:04 |
| aPpLeSiA | Panarchy: none of the disc will boot it up | 08:04 |

| etfb | Just installing Hardy on a Toshiba A300, and it doesn't recognise my wireless card. How do I tell what model it is so I can find the right drivers? | 08:35 |
| etfb | Ditto for video card, sound card, web cam, trackpad, ... | 08:36 |
| robin0800 | Peeps: sudo apt-get -f install | 08:37 |
| genii | etfb: lspci and lsusb can show you devices on those buses. One of them may be your wifi adapter. If you find it there, you can also use with lspci the -nn option for it to give vendor:device code which can be googled for driver hints | 08:37 |
| derjens | when i start gpg-agent it says "GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-Sy5DAR/S.gpg-agent:2053:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;" but echoing this var gives an empty line. why does it not work? | 08:37 |

| robin0800 | etfb: intel 4232 is the device | 08:42 |
| robin0800 | Peeps: scroll down | 08:43 |
| Peeps | It won't let me | 08:43 |
| Peeps | I'm on a laptop, by the way. | 08:43 |

| aPpLeSiA | does kubunu need firewall? | 08:45 |
| robin0800 | try tab | 08:45 |
| etfb | robin0800: I'm fairly sure it's a RealTek wifi card, so it looks like Kubuntu is misdiagnosing. From what I can see, 4232 is just "don't know | 08:45 |
| genii | aPpLeSiA: If you do ISP name/password from computer, yes. If router does ISP login then probably not | 08:46 |
| robin0800 | etfb: perhaps but chip is intel 4232 | 08:47 |
| aPpLeSiA | but if i bring to public wifi place, is kubuntu safe enough or i need a firewall still? | 08:47 |
| aPpLeSiA | does avast work well in kubuntu? | 08:51 |
| genii | aPpLeSiA: In a public wifi place their wifi has the internet IP and not your computer. | 08:52 |
| genii | aPpLeSiA: The preferred antivirus for *buntu distributions is clamav | 08:52 |
| erichj | ubuntu comes with all ports closed out of the box. unless you need to manually open a port because upnp isn't working I wouldn't bother | 08:54 |
| aPpLeSiA | is there any software tat allow kubuntu to run windows software? | 08:55 |
| erichj | yes, it's called W.I.N.E. | 08:55 |
| aPpLeSiA | freeware for shareware? | 08:56 |
| genii | aPpLeSiA: WINE is free. There are paid other ones like Cedega or Crossover Office | 08:56 |

| aPpLeSiA | wow | 09:01 |
| aPpLeSiA | so many | 09:01 |
| aPpLeSiA | send me one, =P | 09:01 |
| erichj | beachsurfin: is this a new install by any chance? | 09:03 |
| aPpLeSiA | can anyone teach me how to install kubuntu into vista? | 09:05 |
| aPpLeSiA | my vista is home basic SP1 | 09:06 |
| beachsurfin | erichj: umm.. well... i used the psychocats clean kde install and then installed ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics and ubuntustudio-video | 09:06 |
| beachsurfin | which essentially installed gnome after me just removing it o.O | 09:06 |
| beachsurfin | psychocats clean install command* | 09:07 |
| erichj | yeah ubuntu-studio is based on gnome | 09:07 |
| beachsurfin | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 09:07 |
| beachsurfin | right, but i just figured it would give me the applications and not entire gnome DE | 09:07 |
| erichj | beachsurfin: ok but that doesn't explain the error you are having. you can try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop' | 09:09 |
| beachsurfin | sudo apt-get --reinstall kubuntu-desktop | 09:10 |
| beachsurfin | E: Invalid operation kubuntu-desktop | 09:10 |
| beachsurfin | oh | 09:10 |
| beachsurfin | whoops | 09:10 |
| beachsurfin | there we go | 09:10 |
| beachsurfin | E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 09:11 |
| beachsurfin | same error using the prescribed command | 09:11 |
| erichj | hmmm | 09:11 |
| Peeps | I should probably get WINE, right? | 09:11 |
| erichj | beachsurfin: give me a few, seeing if I can get it to do the same thing in a VM really fast | 09:12 |
| beachsurfin | k | 09:13 |
| genii | Peeps: If you have some progs that there are no linux equivelents of, maybe. | 09:13 |
| Peeps | I think my school will actually force me to use something called CISCO Clean Access | 09:13 |
| genii | Peeps: Keep in mind things may or not run to various degrees on Wine. Check their appdb for compatability | 09:13 |
| genii | !appdb | 09:14 |

| Peeps | Will it be able to install? | 09:24 |

| ForeverSmurf | you will need to install wine first to use it | 09:24 |
| Peeps | It's 2k7 | 09:24 |
| erichj | I have office 2007 installed on my wifes laptop | 09:24 |
| erichj | works fine over wine | 09:25 |
| ForeverSmurf | Question: Why not use openoffice? | 09:25 |
| Peeps | How do you use wine? | 09:25 |
| ForeverSmurf | Peeps, first you need to install the wine packages | 09:25 |
| Peeps | 'Cause 2007 is actually rather effective. | 09:25 |
| Peeps | Did ForeverSmurf | 09:25 |
| erichj | ForeverSmurf: my wife loves the ribbon interface | 09:25 |
| ForeverSmurf | Peeps, then you need to double click on the install file ;-) | 09:25 |
| ForeverSmurf | setup | 09:25 |
| ForeverSmurf | whatever it is | 09:26 |
| ForeverSmurf | or run it from the command line 'wine setup.exe' | 09:26 |
| ForeverSmurf | if you run it fron the command line you need to be in the directory that the setup.exe file is located in first | 09:27 |
| erichj | or right click on it and select run with wine | 09:27 |
| ForeverSmurf | etc.... | 09:27 |
| ForeverSmurf | yeah, any of those ways will do | 09:27 |
| Peeps | Huh? | 09:27 |
| Peeps | How do I open Wine? | 09:27 |
| ForeverSmurf | Peeps, have you ever installed a program under windows? | 09:27 |
| erichj | you don't open wine | 09:27 |
| ForeverSmurf | have you ever clicked on a setup.exe file? | 09:27 |
| Peeps | Yah. | 09:27 |
| Peeps | Yeah. | 09:28 |
| ForeverSmurf | Christ, it's like trying to edjucate porc! | 09:28 |
| ForeverSmurf | Peeps, have you managed to locate the setup.exe (or install.exe) file? | 09:28 |
| Peeps | For Wine? | 09:28 |
| erichj | no for office | 09:28 |
| ForeverSmurf | omg lol | 09:28 |
| Peeps | I've not tried installing it. >_> | 09:29 |
| erichj | Peeps, there is no interface for wine | 09:29 |
| ForeverSmurf | forget you are on linux | 09:29 |
| Peeps | It's my first day in Linu, Slack needs cut. :o | 09:29 |
| Peeps | Aaah | 09:29 |
| Peeps | Alright | 09:29 |
| genii | ForeverSmurf: We were all new users once. Please don't get abusive. | 09:29 |
| erichj | it's basically like a compatability layer for windows apps. it allows you to execute windows binaries by double clicking them | 09:29 |
| Peeps | genii: I took no offense. It's cool. :P | 09:30 |
| erichj | so if you insert your office cd and open it, you can double click on the setup.exe file and it will load the installer | 09:30 |
| Peeps | Sigh. | 09:33 |
| Peeps | It won't let me run the disk | 09:33 |
| erichj | what error message is it giving you? | 09:33 |
| Peeps | Saying that it's corrupt | 09:34 |
| genii | erichj: He does not yet have wine installed, I believe. Only enquired about it | 09:34 |
| Peeps | But it's a disc from windows. | 09:34 |
| Peeps | I think I go | 09:34 |
| Peeps | do* | 09:34 |
| Peeps | I ran sudo apt-get -install wine | 09:35 |
| genii | Peeps: Ah, then yes should be there. | 09:35 |
| Peeps | It's saying a required file is corrupt or not availiable | 09:35 |

| ActionParsnip | tuxs: try /media/cdrom0 | 10:38 |
| tuxs | ActionParsnip:command not found!!! | 10:39 |
| tuxs | ActionParsnip:?! | 10:40 |
| pucko- | tuxs, you need to mount the dvd first. (either click on it on konqueror/dolphin) whatever.. it should then be mounted somewhere in /media | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxs: you need to run the command on the cd so wherever your cd is mounted to replace that in the guide where it says /cdrom | 10:41 |
| === root is now known as Guest99602 | ||
| tuxs | pucko-:DVD is mounted!i runned kdesudo cdromupgrade directly from it!but,command not found!!!??? | 10:43 |

| pucko- | tuxs, oh. then you have to dig around a little more I guess... | 10:44 |
| === KingDread is now known as DreadKnight | ||
| tuxs | pucko-:how to solve this problem?i must upgrade to 8.10(only with DVD)!!! | 10:45 |
| pucko- | I'd guess cdromupgrade is a simple script, so it might be it is missing something. but you'd have to dig around then | 10:45 |
| pucko- | did you click on the 'cdromupgrade' or did you run it from terminal? | 10:46 |
| tuxs | pucko-:yes!i tested!but....:( | 10:46 |
| pucko- | because you need to run it as root (with kdesudo) or it wont work | 10:48 |
| beachsurfin | there are only 3 plasmoids to choose from when i click "install new widgets" | 10:49 |

A bunch of colored lines would come up. | 14:58 |
| Nemesis02 | I deleted the .kde-neon from my directory and kde seemed to load up fine, but now i'm missing my start bar and stuff >.< | 14:59 |

| juliebun | BluesKaj, it says command not found. But I found the ISO on my mac- it's 8.10 | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | juliebun, ok but you must copy and paste commands in linux exactly as they appear in the text for them to work. | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | no spaces in front etc | 15:02 |

| jmcnaught | hi.. is anyone else having trouble disabling screen blanking in kde 4.2, or is it just me? | 17:49 |
| jmcnaught | i'm just wondering if it's a common problem. i've disabled the screen saver, disabled screen power management, turned them back on with really high time-outs. but i still get the screen blanking when it shouldn't. | 17:51 |
| personman | try opening system settings, advanced tab, power management, go to the profiles, choose performance, and set "after x minutes do blank" to nothing? | 17:51 |
| personman | assuming its kde4 | 17:52 |
| jmcnaught | personman: yeah, it's kubuntu 8.10 with kde 4.2. i tried that. i also set it to do nothing when i close the laptop lid, but sometime when i open the lid it blanks three times in a row | 17:53 |
| jmcnaught | i was wondering if there's a daemon floating around in my session that shouldn't be... when i upgraded to 4.2 i had to remove the guidance power manager (it was running concurrently with powerdevil) | 17:54 |
| fomder | Hi everyone. Im having a lot of trouble. I use ubuntu 8.10 and just uninstalled firestarter firewall and then reboot my pc.

| zipper_ | hi everyone | 17:58 |
| jmcnaught | i don't know what it would be... i did upgrade to 4.2 back when it was still in beta... i'm thinking about creating a new user to see if it's just a problem with the settings in my .kde folder | 17:58 |
| jmcnaught | fomder: firestarter is just a gui for iptables/netfilter... it probably left the iptables rules intact even after you removed the firestarter gui | 18:00 |
| fomder | jmcnaught thanks, what should i do then? | 18:00 |
| fomder | jmcnaught any ideas? | 18:02 |

| === root is now known as Guest27723 | ||
| fomder | jmcnaught, ok, i cleared my iptables, still no luck | 18:04 |
| jmcnaught | fomder: have you rebooted? it's possible that firestarter configured your system to load the iptables rules when you start the computer. i haven't used firestarter in a while, but check and see if it left a script in /etc/init.d/ | 18:04 |

| petsounds | well, i wanna upgrade to kde 4.2 and im using intrepid, i have read the instructions but just cant understand how to uninstalling plasmoid. can anybody here tell me what to do? | 19:09 |
| jimdb | mkargar: sudo apt-get clean | 19:12 |
| mkargar | jimdb:what? | 19:12 |
| mkargar | jimdb:what this command? | 19:13 |
| hubar | petsounds, why do you wanna uninstall plasmoid? | 19:13 |
| jimdb | it will clean your download archive | 19:13 |
| jimdb | clean - Erase downloaded archive files | 19:13 |
| jimdb | autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files | 19:13 |
| petsounds | the instructions told me to | 19:13 |
| mkargar | jimdb:hmm!but,my question not this! | 19:14 |
| jimdb | your problem was that when you try to reinstall it uses an older corrupt version of the downloaded .deb file. that command will erase the corrupted file. | 19:15 |
| mkargar | jimdb:my question:i have DVDrom and DVDWR!both device mounting in /media/!how to mounte DVDRom to /CDrom path? | 19:15 |
| petsounds | hubar : any advice? | 19:16 |
| jimdb | then maybe you aren't the person I was responding to. and I can't fix that specific problem for you. | 19:16 |
| hubar | petsounds, I didn't do anything myself. I think you can safely overwrite them. | 19:17 |

| hubar | petsounds, no i am not. :) Take my adicvice with a grind of salt. :) | 19:20 |

| petsounds | thanks hubar & gorgonizer. ill try | 19:22 |
| ScottK-laptop | KDE 4.2 has libplasma3. KDE 4.1 has libplasma2. Any plasmoid compiled for libplasma2 in 4.1 will nt work well with 4.2. | 19:23 |
| ScottK-laptop | So any that aren't in the kubuntu-experimental repo should be removed if you upgrade. | 19:23 |
| whut | How do I upgrade KDE4.1 to KDE4.2 using apt-get? | 19:24 |
| petsounds | hey scott, can you teach me more details | 19:24 |
| UnixOne | whut http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | 19:25 |
| ScottK-laptop | Unless you want to get involved in development, there really isn't more to know. | 19:25 |
| UnixOne | whut do it that way ;) | 19:25 |
| gorgonizer | whut: after adding the kubuntu experimental repo, you should just need to do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:25 |
| whut | I need to do this over ssh, this way doesn't work. | 19:25 |
| UnixOne | whut otherwise you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.... | 19:26 |
| mkargar | how to choose /cdrom path as default for DVDRom? | 19:26 |
| UnixOne | I have jaunty kubuntu with latest updates | 19:26 |
| UnixOne | somehow it feels as if something is missing.. | 19:26 |
| UnixOne | 3D :D | 19:26 |
| whut | UnixOne: What should I add there? | 19:26 |
| UnixOne | whut follow the guide | 19:26 |
| whut | o | 19:26 |
| whut | k | 19:26 |
| petsounds | scott, how can to remove the plasmoid that u said wont fit | 19:27 |
| UnixOne | kde4.2 is wow, but it doesnt install bluetooth altough I have a bluetooth desktop.. | 19:27 |
| UnixOne | the system-settings is missing some elements, kuser in example etc. | 19:28 |
| gorgonizer | petsounds: What ScottK-laptop is true, but if you only have the standard plasmoids from 4.1 i think theya re upgraded automatically.. what ScottK-laptop said only applies if you have built plasmoids that weren't part of the standard plasmoid set afaik.. | 19:28 |
| ScottK-laptop | Yes, the Main (default install) plasmoids were rebuilt. | 19:28 |
| ScottK-laptop | It's only ones you added yourself you need to worry about. | 19:29 |
| ScottK-laptop | petsounds: sudo apt-get remove plasmoid-foo or use adept. | 19:29 |
| UnixOne | If microsoft would make DX11 opensource and Ubuntu would integrate it. Kubuntu 9 would be the most awesome os in the world | 19:30 |
| UnixOne | but directx is microsofts joker | 19:30 |
| UnixOne | somehow OpenGL failed on this way | 19:30 |
| phobos_idle | microsoft won't opensource their stuff. to do so would open them up to all kinds of lawsuits for ip infrindgement | 19:32 |
| petsounds | so i dont have to remove the plasmoid. right gorgonizer? | 19:34 |
| lamer | abend | 19:35 |
| gorgonizer | petsounds: if you have only installed the standard plasmoids from 4.1, you should be able to upgrade without incident... in Adept, search for plasmoids to see if any plasmoid-* packages are installed, if not,t hen go ahead with the upgrade ;) | 19:35 |

| DarkEra | jimdb it's the flashplugin-nonfree | 20:27 |
| jimdb | did you try to install the downloaded version from www.adobe.com? there's a .deb installer there for linux. | 20:28 |

| gorgonizer | DarkEra: have you ensured that it has been found in the Plugins section of the Konqueror Settings? | 20:30 |

How can i install ubuntu on the same root partition and keep on using my same home partition without deleting its files? Thanks | 21:09 |
| gorgonizer | morfdor: during the install you will need to use the manual partition option, then format the root partition (and relabel it is root) and only relabel you current home partition as home (but don't format it).. | 21:11 |
| blahjake | morfdor: backup your home before you try anything | 21:11 |
| jhutchins_wk | morfdor: What he said. | 21:11 |
| morfdor | gorgonizer and others, thanks. so i can choose to keep on using my ssame home partition and not format it or will i have to create a new home partition and transfer over the files form the old home partition? | 21:12 |
| sourcemaker | is there a good mp3 player for kubuntu...? And no... I HATE AMAROK! | 21:13 |
| martijn81 | sourcemaker: listen? | 21:14 |
| sourcemaker | martijn81: manage large mp3 collections (not possible with juk) and listen... | 21:14 |
| gorgonizer | morfdor: it is an option in the manual partition manager, they will be currently set to be unused when you first open the manual partition system, change home to use whichever filesystem it currently has, rteset the partition to be home, but ensure the format option is set to no :) | 21:15 |
| gorgonizer | morfdor: but if you have the space, I would recommend backing up the home partition.. | 21:15 |
| morfdor | gorgonizer, yeah thats a good idea. thanks man | 21:15 |
| gorgonizer | morfdor: no problem :) | 21:15 |
| hubar | sourcemaker, Isn't that amarok is designed for? | 21:16 |

| === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 | ||
| gorgonizer | sourcemaker: in terms of Amarok stability, I found 1.4 to be more stable than 2.0.1.1... that is why I use the project-neon version of amarok 2.. | 21:18 |
| gorgonizer | sourcemaker: but you could try exaile, which is a GTK version of Amarok.. | 21:19 |

| gorgonizer | hubar: gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 778978B00F7992B0 && gpg --export -a 778978B00F7992B0 | apt-key add - will add the auth-key for it I believe.. | 22:06 |
| jimdb | gorgonizer: key for what? | 22:07 |
| gorgonizer | jimdb: to stop the authentication warning for packages from the project-neon repository | 22:08 |

| gorgonizer | jimdb: to be honest, I shoehorned that command together, but it seemed to work :) | 22:09 |
| jimdb | i have k/ubuntu installed on may 7 machines here and have been migrating them to kde 4.2. On this machine I must have had it in place, so I got an error. On a couple other machines I get that warning. Now to get that command issued on each machine. | 22:11 |
| jimdb | gorgonizer: that was meant for you :) | 22:11 |
| gorgonzola | ok, new question: how can i modify the dependencies of a souorce package? | 22:11 |
| jimdb | gorgonizer: this machine is my multimedia box. i have it attached to a 32" TV using a DVI to HDMI cable. I use it with boxee, xbmc, vlc, my iphone remote apps, and use it as a phone via skype. | 22:12 |
| gorgonizer | jimdb: thought so, hope it is the right command, if so, that warning will be a thing of the past :) | 22:12 |
| jimdb | it look awesome and is awesome. | 22:13 |
| gorgonizer | jimdb: that sounds one hell of a setup :) | 22:13 |
| jimdb | gorgonizer: i used parts I had laying around. I only had to buy the dvi to hdmi cable, the iphone apps ($2.00 a piece) and the TV (which I essentially already had)...so it didn't cost much. | 22:14 |
| jimdb | it worked well under gnome, but it looks awesome and works well under kde 4.2 | 22:14 |
| gorgonizer | jimdb: I can imagine teat KDE 4.2 must look superb on a screen that size :) | 22:15 |
| ikazmi | hi every1 | 22:16 |
| ikazmi | has any1 been able to get a pcmcia card working under 9.04? | 22:17 |
| ikazmi | i got a audigy 2 zs pcmcia sound card and its not working | 22:17 |
| jessie | Hey, can you guys hear me? | 22:18 |
| jimdb | gorgonizer: my main box is a linux box also with a 24" HD lcd widescreen monitor. it looks very good there too. but I use this one for hulu, boxee, xbmc, dvds, AVIs. I was reading a slashdot.org post the other day where they were discussing someone's project to create something similar to this. my costs were 1/2 of his. | 22:18 |
| ikazmi | (it doesnt even seem to trigger any remove or insert events) | 22:18 |
| ikazmi | ? | 22:19 |
| jimdb | ikazmi: i believe you have to compile the sound driver from source which you get at creativelabs website. | 22:19 |
| jimdb | ikazmi: and I don't believe linux has the same sort of triggered events like winxp/vista has. | 22:19 |
| ikazmi | jimdb: but shouldn't lspci or dmesg have something to show that new hardware was added | 22:20 |
| ikazmi | jimdb: i remember from slackware days that when a usb was plugged in but there was something wrong with it, dmesh would have kernel messages | 22:21 |
| ikazmi | jimdb: in this case there is nothing...as if i haven't even plugged it in, same with lspci | 22:21 |
| ikazmi | ? | 22:22 |
| jimdb | ikazmi: i have a creativelabs card and was able to get the sound to work by compiling the drivers. i don't remember if lspci showed it listed. | 22:24 |
| jimdb | ikazmi: though I have a card similar to yours I don't use it. | 22:24 |
| ikazmi | jimdb: which version of kubuntu are you using? | 22:26 |
| wildbat | Hihi | 22:33 |
| theunixgeek | How do I set up Kmail to display HTML messages properly? | 22:34 |
| carpii | what do you mean, properly ? | 22:35 |
| carpii | try settings -> configure kmail -> security tab -> reading -> prefer html tickbox | 22:36 |
| wildbat | >.>b use Thunderbird ! XD | 22:36 |
| carpii | kmail is pretty nice. I used thunderbird on windows for a coupla years but it always felt klunky :/ | 22:37 |
| theunixgeek | carpii: so it actually displays HTML formatting | 22:37 |
| carpii | ok well try what i said above | 22:38 |
| carpii | that should do it | 22:38 |
| theunixgeek | carpii: oh, I didn't see that; I'll try it | 22:38 |
| theunixgeek | ah, that's better :) | 22:39 |
| theunixgeek | thanks, carpii | 22:39 |
| carpii | np :) | 22:39 |

| derdui | hi, does anybody know, if oovoo runs under linux? didnt find anything with google | 22:40 |
| wildbat | neverone here know about smb? ~ i am trying to auto mounting the all the sharepoints ~ is that a program or script can do that ? | 22:40 |
| zer0o | hi, how do i format completely in ext3 or fat32 an external hard drive? | 22:40 |
| carpii | wildbat, you can put it in your /etc/fstab if you install package smbfs | 22:41 |
| zer0o | hi, how do i format completely in ext3 or fat32 an external hard drive? from a terminal | 22:43 |
| carpii | use mkfs | 22:43 |
| wildbat | carpii: yea but what i mean auto is it detect and smbshares and mount it ~ | 22:44 |
| zer0o | carpii: could u plz explain further? | 22:44 |
| carpii | wildbat, ok i dont know how to autodetect samba shares, sorry | 22:45 |
| carpii | zer0 try something like this http://www.ehow.com/how_1000631_hard-drive-linux.html | 22:45 |
| zer0o | kk | 22:45 |
| wildbat | carpii: is ok ^^ | 22:46 |
| wildbat | guess i have to figureout a script..... hmmmm | 22:47 |
| carpii | the problem is if you have a samba share and it suddenly goes offline, things tend to lock up | 22:49 |
| carpii | so i only really use samba for locations i know will always be available really | 22:49 |
| wildbat | yea ~ that give me headache XD | 22:50 |

| jasonR | Hey Gang. Issues with sound on an HP Pavilion 061. the snd_intel_hda driver is loaded, but the mixer (don't matter which) does not have a volume slider. It only shows... IEC958 | 22:59 |
| psyco | cjae: I know that, thats what I used | 23:00 |
| psyco | Dr_Willis: so should I just ignore it? | 23:00 |

| zer0o | Dr_Willis: i didnt ask who or what uses it, i asked what it is | 23:01 |

| Dr_Willis | zer0o, its where lost and found files by fsck go. | 23:01 |
| psyco | brb gonna reboot X | 23:02 |
| zer0o | Dr_Willis: ok so its a system folder, got it | 23:03 |
| cjae | psyco: I just had those issues on another box, but cant remember the steps I used to fix, I had to sudo apt-get -f install, then sudo dpkg --configure -a, then... I have to find the website again I had to just get to the login page and then reconfigure kde but can't remember the command | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | 'system folder' another vague term. that means very little - heh. | 23:04 |
| zer0o | is anyone able to help with XANDROS? | 23:04 |
| cjae | wow | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Xandros should ahve their own channel. Last i used xandos was years+ ago.. and it wasent very impressive then. | 23:04 |
| zer0o | "system folder" to me means a folder that has to be where it is, not something coming from the previous winxp s**t :D | 23:05 |
| jasonR | Dr_Willis, you any good at trouble-shooting hardware issues? :-)_ This sound card is kickin' my butt! | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. from Distrowatch homepage.. last xandros release was in 2006 - Ick | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | jasonR, depends on the issue i guess. | 23:05 |
| jasonR | Oops! Wrong Nick! I'm shelled into his machine. Let's 'fix' that... | 23:05 |
| === jasonR is now known as Zirg | ||
| zer0o | it isnt on my machine, it's a friend's i run kubuntu, she's got this mini eeepc. ridiculous but she needs some help and thus im here on google, forums and chats LOL | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Xandros Acquires Linspire, 07-02-2008 - Hmm.. i never noticed that. :) | 23:06 |
| KWGoD | i ned help with firefox | 23:06 |
| KWGoD | need* | 23:06 |
| Zirg | Dr_Willis, it's an HP box that DID have sound on the first install, but KDE4 was buggy so we stepped back to 8.04. | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | I use the eeebuntu variant on my Net-book. it works very well. | 23:07 |
| Zirg | Dr_Willis, it has the snd_hda_intel driver loaded, but the mixers (all) do NOT have a slider to adjust the audio (yes, /dev/mixer exists and no others) and the only thing showing in the mixer is IEC958 | 23:07 |
| zer0o | this one is superslow its a mini pc i'll show u www.eeeuser.com | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | xandros homepage shows one also. :) | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I find my AcerAspireOne to be quite snappy in Ubuntu+gnome. | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | it even does XP very well. | 23:08 |
| zer0o | sure :D its pretty much the only pc on earth where they put it lol | 23:08 |
| Zirg | Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/f472109d is the output of lsmod | grep snd | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Zirg, so has sound ever worked on this thing in 8.04? Try a 8.04 live cd/ubuntu cd? | 23:09 |
| Zirg | Dunno. Let me ask.... | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Zirg, its possible its just some mixer/slider setting. you could try that console based alsa-mixer tool instead of the kde ones | 23:09 |
| Zirg | Dr_Willis, hmmm. seems he's unsure if it EVER worked. :-( Okay, wished there was a way to shell into his BIOS screens with him! :-( | 23:10 |
| zer0o | Dr_Willis: so r u able to help me in mounting this external hard drive on xandros? is driving me nuts! | 23:11 |
| carpii | zer0, do you know the device name of it? | 23:12 |
| zer0o | carpii: before it was sdc | 23:12 |
| carpii | before what? | 23:12 |
| Zirg | Dr_Willis, Thanks. I will get him into the CMOS again and try some other settings. Good Coding, Dawg! | 23:13 |
| zer0o | carpii: when i plug it in (and ive just format it with ext3 on my kubuntu on another machine) it says "the path /home/user/1600BEV External does not exist" i dont get it | 23:13 |
| zer0o | carpii: anyway i just gave an mkdir "/home/user/1600BEV External" lets see what happens | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | zer0o, when in doubt - fall back to the command line and mount it manually. look for errors. | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | zer0o, you DID make the mount point directory? | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | DONT use spaces in the filename/directory name.. it will cause issues | 23:14 |
| zer0o | Dr_Willis: im trying but it seems this Xandros has different commands | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | xandros is based on debian..it better have the 'mount' command | 23:15 |
| zer0o | i haven't decided it myself its what it pops out when plugged it in | 23:15 |
| zer0o | yes it does have it | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | HAL/the automounting stuff may be trying tobe cute with the path name. if the volume name has a Space in the name. | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | It just makes life MUCH easier if you eliminate such spaces. | 23:15 |
| zer0o | just to make sure ive done a mkdir "/home/user/1600BEV External" since before it was saying it wasnt finding it i created it lets see (just plugged in) | 23:16 |
| zer0o | Dr_Willis: i haven't decided it myself its what it pops out when plugged it in | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | thats HAL deciding to do things.. You can still mount it manually i imagine whever you want | 23:17 |
| zer0o | i dunno the name of it otherwise i'd had done a "pmount sdX" | 23:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Im suprised its trying to mount to /home/USERNAME/anything | 23:17 |
| Dr_Willis | seems that /mnt or /media would be the proper place for it to mount stuff to | 23:18 |
| zer0o | i agree | 23:19 |
| zer0o | so what should i do? litterally | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo mkdir /media/THEDRIVE | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo mount /dev/WHATEVER /media/THEDRIVE | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | and see if it mounts | 23:20 |
| zer0o | yes i no that but i dunno the name Doc | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo fdisk -l | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | to see all attatched drives | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | or chedk 'dmesg' command whenya plug it in | 23:20 |
| zer0o | Dr_Willis: ok this is really weird, when plugged in i gave "fdisk -l" and 4 devices came out sde1-2-3-4 and relative info bout them, then i unplugged it, re-gave "fdisk -l" and it says bas: fdisk: command not found" what the heck??? | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | use sudo fdisk -l ? | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | usb drives might be shown by a user running fdisk. | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds liek the thing may be sde## in your case | 23:25 |
| zer0o | alright it says "Disk /dev/sda: 4001mb, 4000....... bytes" 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 486 cylinders" | 23:27 |
| zer0o | then Device Boot | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sda is proberly the internal hard drive. | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | sdb+ will be what others you got plugged in | 23:27 |
| zer0o | i dont think so cuz after this one it shows its own partitions | 23:28 |
| zer0o | sda1 | 23:28 |
| zer0o | sda2 | 23:28 |
| zer0o | till 4 | 23:28 |
| zer0o | and each one START at some number and END and some other consequentially with the others | 23:28 |
| Dr_Willis | a hard drive can have up to 4 primary partitions normally. | 23:29 |
| Dr_Willis | 1 hard drive = sda1 through whatever... | 23:29 |
| zer0o | okokok after a long amount of time | 23:29 |
| zer0o | its finally appeard | 23:29 |
| zer0o | its name si sdc | 23:29 |
| zer0o | as before | 23:29 |
| Dr_Willis | it takes a few sec for a usb drive ti get seen after its plugged in. | 23:29 |
| zer0o | actually it says Disk /dev/sdc: 160 gb etc etc | 23:30 |
| zer0o | and below it goes | 23:30 |
| zer0o | dev/sdc1 | 23:30 |
| zer0o | whatz itz name then? | 23:30 |
| zer0o | :D | 23:30 |
| zer0o | LOL | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sdc1 | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | logically :) | 23:30 |
| zer0o | ok cool | 23:30 |
| zer0o | sorry im not that logical with linux | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sdc is the drive.. sdc1 is the partition ON THE DRIVE | 23:31 |
| zer0o | started to use it like 2 moths ago :D | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the thing to rember | 23:31 |
| zer0o | ok thanks | 23:31 |
| zer0o | so now its mounted | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | a cdrom would be just 'sdc' | 23:31 |
| zer0o | cuz theres no partition | 23:31 |
| zer0o | Dr_Willis: alright i went to /dev/disks/Removable/ where there are "sdb" which i dunno what it is and "sdc" (not sdc1 though) tried to open sdc with double click it asks me with what i choose among the applications File Manager and while trying to the terminal give this output "QmetaObject::findSignal:CrightPanle: Conflict with QlistView::selectionChanged()" what the heck does this mean? | 23:35 |
| jefferai | hey guys | 23:37 |

| jefferai | and also, how scary is creating your own package? | 23:37 |
| * jefferai is inexperienced in the apt world | 23:37 | |
| Dr_Willis | zer0o, you dont want to be double clicking in /dev/disks/ at ALL i imagine.. those are not the mount points. | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zer0o, you access the mountpoint. not the device. | 23:38 |
| Dr_Willis | zer0o, if you mounted the thing to /media/THEDRIVE then access that locatiion with the filemanager | 23:38 |
| zer0o | ok let me try | 23:39 |

| kalib | I'm installing it for her.. | 23:59 |
| kalib | I never had this kind of problem with mine... My laptop's wireless chipset is Atheros | 23:59 |
