| Loctrice | I still have no desktop. I couldnt install the driver, I modified the xorg.config, changed the screen resolution and refresh rate. I am very frustrated now. I dont know what else to do | 00:45 |
| Loctrice | I reached the end of the help page on the website and still dont have a desktop. I guess this is a common problem with nvidia? but there doesnt seem to be a good fix for it | 00:46 |
| cpk1 | Loctrice: using which driver? | 00:46 |
| Loctrice | nvidia gforce 6800 is my actual card | 00:47 |
| Loctrice | I have no idea how to do this setup *tears out all his hair* | 00:48 |
| Loctrice | I got it to tell me I was using the wrong resolution and screen refresh rate once. now it will run a bunch of commands down to starting scripts, but it wont start | 00:49 |
| cpk1 | Loctrice: but which driver are you trying to use? the one from nvidia or the open source one? | 00:49 |

| Loctrice | I try to open in another tty and it just keeps telling me that it couldnt connect to this server, and failed to attach to that server | 00:49 |
| Loctrice | I dont know how to go online and download anything. whatever is attached to my download for nvidia | 00:50 |
| Loctrice | I had to reboot in windows to come back here | 00:50 |
| Loctrice | cpk1: thats as good as I can do. it reads the nvidia card when I type the lshw command. I have set the screen resolution in the xorg.config | 00:51 |
| Loctrice | *bangs head on desk* | 00:52 |
| Loctrice | maybe I'll try to re install linux | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | thats windows thinking! | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | :) | 00:55 |
| Loctrice | heh, I am defeated. its been 4 days and I cant get my os running | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | whats the actual problem? | 00:55 |
| Loctrice | didnt you try and help me earlier Dr_Willis? | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | I can barely rember my own nick. :) much less wha happend an hr ago..heh | 00:56 |
| Loctrice | cant get the desktop to load. edited the xorg.config and redid the screen resolution because after I edited it the first time for the driver then it said that it wouldnt support my resolution (monitors error message) | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | ati or nvidia video? | 00:56 |
| Loctrice | now it runs a bunch of commands with [ok] next to them, says its starting scripts and then does nothing (but I get a glimpse of the mouse twice) | 00:57 |
| Loctrice | nvidia | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | Hmm.. i shouldof backed up my nvida xorg.conf from this last install.. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | You did install the nvidia drivers.. you did try lettng the nvidia tools genreate a xorg.conf? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | sudo nvidia-xconfig | 00:57 |
| Loctrice | sudo nvidia-xconfig | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | You are using a lcd? DVI conector? | 00:57 |
| Loctrice | that sounds cool | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | people overlook the nvidia config tools. | 00:58 |
| Loctrice | I dont even remember what all I have done. I went through the entire help page making changes | 00:58 |
| Loctrice | one of the biggest frustrations is I have to reboot and start in windows mode to come back and get more help | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | install irssi, its a console/text based irc client :) | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | sudo apt-get install irssi | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | Im using it right now. | 01:00 |
| Loctrice | *scribbles notes* | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | it normally takes me all of 4 min ti get the nvidia drivers going. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig (i think) | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | then suso nvidia-xconfig | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | oops :) sudo | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | I think.. thats all i normally do | 01:01 |
| Loctrice | well, hopefully I will come back from linux then. I intend to only use windows for my developement software | 01:01 |
| Loctrice | like visual studios | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | Just to double check..you are NOT using a KVM switch? Yu are using a LCD monitor with DVI connector? | 01:02 |
| Loctrice | I have no idea what a KVM switch is so I would guess I'm not using that | 01:02 |
| Loctrice | I got the standard blue/white plugins on a flat panel monitor | 01:02 |
| Loctrice | I'll go give this stuff a shot. with any luck I can still come back here even from the command line window if I dont have a desktop | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | VGA = the old standard 15 pin.. DVI = the newer port. sort of squareish.. | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis_Arch | if you can use dvi - it works much better. | 01:04 |
| Loctrice | I got a little blue plugin that help? | 01:05 |
| Loctrice | I got a white bulky one two, but I just plugged it in for good measure | 01:05 |
| Loctrice | it doesnt actually use that signal | 01:05 |
| Loctrice | ok, I'll go run these installs and pray alot *mumbles something about shutting his head in the door* be back soon I hope, thanks for the help | 01:06 |

| Loctrice | kubuntu 8.04 | 01:30 |
| ^Ch0ps | oh right | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | and why could you not do that? | 01:30 |
| ^Ch0ps | did you try to boot to the live cd first? | 01:30 |
| Loctrice | I have tried ubuntu and debian as well | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | sudo apt-get install irssi failed for some reason? | 01:31 |
| Loctrice | yup. so did install mail, or anything else I tried | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | and the error message it gave was? | 01:31 |
| Loctrice | ^Ch0ps: I only have a cd for debian | 01:31 |
| Loctrice | could not find "whatever you are trying to download" | 01:32 |
| tijucas | Loctrice: is the network up? | 01:32 |

| Loctrice | *looks around* | 01:32 |
| Loctrice | I think so. I am online now | 01:32 |
| ^Ch0ps | do you have proper repositories in your sources.list | 01:32 |
| ^Ch0ps | ? | 01:32 |
| tijucas | :) | 01:32 |
| Loctrice | I have no idea. I am no admin | 01:32 |
| ^Ch0ps | ah | 01:32 |
| ^Ch0ps | so let's go back to the start then | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | what are you then? its your system. isent it? if so you are the admin. :) | 01:33 |
| ^Ch0ps | you installed Kubuntu yourself? | 01:33 |
| Loctrice | I used wubi | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | if you are toying with the x configs..you got admin rights. :) | 01:33 |
| ^Ch0ps | wubi? | 01:33 |
| Loctrice | lol, ty Dr_Willis | 01:33 |
| ^Ch0ps | yikes.. ubuntu installer for windows | 01:33 |
| Loctrice | yeah, I got it from the about linux site. | 01:33 |
| ^Ch0ps | that may be your problemo. | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | you may want to just use virtualbox and run windows nd have linux inside virtualbox till you learn it better | 01:33 |
| Loctrice | nuh uh, same probs with debian and I have the disk | 01:34 |
| ^Ch0ps | how did you install Debian? | 01:34 |
| Loctrice | I stuck the disk in | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | Your whole 'problem' if i rember is that you need to get your nvidia drivers installed. | 01:34 |
| Loctrice | particioned space and installed | 01:34 |
| Loctrice | Dr_Willis: yup, thats where we left off last time | 01:34 |
| tijucas | it may work with vesa driver.. | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | if you had debian installed.. and removed.. you dident need to use3 wubi. you could ofinstalled over the debian parittions | 01:35 |
| Loctrice | I got the system, can use the command lines | 01:35 |
| Loctrice | cant get the desktop to load though | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | to install stuff from the internet. You may need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the first line with the CDROM entry | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | you dont want touse the cdrom unless you have to | 01:35 |
| rmrfslash | Dr_Willis_AAO: the acer aspire one is a mini notebook | 01:35 |
| tijucas | hum.. | 01:35 |
| rmrfslash | :-\ | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | rmrfslash: yes it is :) | 01:36 |
| AlexZion | hi , I have a simple question..., where I can manage which service has to run on startup ? | 01:36 |
| rmrfslash | sorry for ragging on those | 01:36 |
| ^Ch0ps | Loctrice: if you type less /etc/apt/sources.list, what does it say? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | !sysv | 01:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sysv | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | rmrfslash: i plan on keeping mine and getting a newer one when i get my $$ saved up. | 01:36 |
| ^Ch0ps | AlexZion: Which distro? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | it does exactly what i need. | 01:36 |
| AlexZion | Kubuntu 8.10 | 01:36 |
| rmrfslash | except has like a 3 inch screen | 01:36 |
| shadowhywind | hay all, random issue. When i click the panel (its supposed to open up the calendar), well it doesn't. Along with the file transfer window that no longer opens up anymore either, any ideas? | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | it has a 9 in screen that is plenty for my needs | 01:37 |
| Loctrice | ok, any other ideas? | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | my bad | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | and it dosent hurt my back to carry it around. | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | 9 in. | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | AND it fits in my lunchbox. :) | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | true | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | hahaha | 01:37 |
| tijucas | hehe | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | and fits in my man purse | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | kidding | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | Now if i could figure how to build it INTo the lunchbox. | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | I got a rather large lunch box. | 01:37 |
| rmrfslash | just google images of food | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis_AAO | My AAO is hot pink. :) | 01:37 |
| wartalker | when i log out, then log in, the knetmanager become a widget, not in tray, how can i repair this | 01:38 |
| rmrfslash | nice | 01:38 |
| Loctrice | ok, so I guess I'm back to take out the first line of the /etc/apt/sources.list and have another go at it | 01:38 |
| Loctrice | thanks again ppl | 01:38 |
| tijucas | just remove | 01:38 |
| Loctrice | me? | 01:38 |
| tijucas | and type sudo apt-get update | 01:39 |
| rmrfslash | oo check this out... the ubuntu laptop testing team | 01:39 |
| Loctrice | sudo apt-get update | 01:39 |
| Loctrice | alright | 01:39 |
| rmrfslash | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam | 01:39 |
| tijucas | then install what you want.. | 01:39 |
| ^Ch0ps | AlexZion: /etc/rcS.d is the list of services | 01:39 |
| ^Ch0ps | but from the gui | 01:39 |
| ^Ch0ps | you can click K -> System Settings -> Advanced -> System Services | 01:39 |
| === HappySmileMan is now known as Happy | ||
| === Happy is now known as HappySmileMan | ||
| rmrfslash | I like HPs new advertising | 01:40 |
| ^Ch0ps | Then you get the big list of services, and one of the options is Start at Boot | 01:40 |
| Loctrice | I would drive over and punch my mom right now if you said it'd get my linux working. I am at whits end | 01:40 |
| ^Ch0ps | But a note, AlexZion: You will have to click the Administrator Mode button | 01:40 |
| Loctrice | ok, Im out to try again again | 01:40 |
| AlexZion | ok , but there is a file to say , for example, mysql not on boot , apache yes on boot | 01:40 |
| tijucas | hum. | 01:40 |
| ^Ch0ps | you would want to change that through the GUI, best bet | 01:41 |
| tijucas | try '/etc/init.d/kdm restart' | 01:41 |
| rmrfslash | I like how no one bothers to test extended desktop monitors | 01:41 |
| tijucas | Loctrice: do you install with gui installer?? | 01:41 |
| rmrfslash | oh wait, some people do | 01:41 |
| AlexZion | I mean , I wonna just avoid apache2 and mysql to run on the startup | 01:42 |
| ^Ch0ps | okay, so then you can do this: | 01:42 |
| ^Ch0ps | AlexZion: you can click K -> System Settings -> Advanced -> System Services - find httpd, uncheck the "Start during boot" checkbox, do the same for MySQL | 01:43 |
| ^Ch0ps | the command shortcut for the services box is serviceconfig (no sudo required) | 01:44 |
| ^Ch0ps | wait a minute, yes sudo is required | 01:44 |
| ^Ch0ps | brb | 01:44 |
| AlexZion | there aren't ...... | 01:45 |
| AlexZion | no http or mysql are prensenton the list ... | 01:46 |
| AlexZion | but they are running ..... | 01:46 |
| victlo | hello | 01:46 |
| === HappySmileMan is now known as Happy | ||
| === Happy is now known as HappySmileMan | ||
| AlexZion | there isn't another tool to manage all the services !?! , otherwise a file to edit ..... ? | 01:51 |
| ^Ch0ps | gimme a sec, I don't have apache or mysql installed on my desktop | 01:52 |
| ^Ch0ps | I'm installing apache now to see if I can see anything different | 01:52 |
| ^Ch0ps | if it comes down to it, you may have to remove their soft links from the /etc/rcS.d directory, but you shouldn't have to | 01:54 |
| AlexZion | I'm just looking for an easy way to manage stop|start services like those one ..... | 01:57 |
| ^Ch0ps | after I installed httpd I have apache2 in my services list | 01:58 |
| ^Ch0ps | the easiest way is just to use /etc/init.d/mysql stop and apache2ctl stop at startup | 01:58 |
| AlexZion | well actually to manage the start on boot of the services ...,otehrwise I do by konsole | 01:58 |
| ^Ch0ps | you could put it in your bashrc | 01:58 |
| AlexZion | what is "bashrc" ? | 01:59 |
| ^Ch0ps | it's the script that sets up your session | 01:59 |
| ^Ch0ps | if you do a vim .bashrc | 01:59 |
| ^Ch0ps | you will see how it sets up your environment | 01:59 |
| ^Ch0ps | if you add two lines: /etc/init.d/mysqld stop and apache2ctl stop, then that should take care of it | 02:00 |

| SJrX | Hmmmmm KNetworkManager seems to be broken, it doesn't see or do anything for wireless. | 02:53 |
| mefisto__ | SJrX: I'm not a wireless user so I don't know how it works with wireless, but you might want to try installing netgo. I was playing with it yesterday and it seems like it would do similar to knetworkmanager | 02:57 |

| mefisto__ | SJrX: there's also wicd, which many people say is a great knetworkmanager replacement. but it's not in intrepid repos. there's a wicd repo you can add to your sources.list http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php | 03:06 |

| PodeCoet | g4u and partimage are the ones you want | 03:41 |
| PodeCoet | or faileas's suggestion :p | 03:41 |

| lucas_ | hi. i have 2 sound devices in multimedia. but in my machine i only have the motherboard's built-in sound chip. here is a screenshot: http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/4644/instantnea1.png | 03:55 |
| sille | anyone have their ears on ??? | 03:56 |
| goofey | lucas_: don't you have to choose between the 2 sounds devices in your bios? | 03:59 |
| lucas_ | goofey: no. if you take a look at the screenshots the devices listed are the same. | 04:00 |
| lucas_ | *equal | 04:00 |
| goofey | lucas_: is it true that your onboard and sound card bot have the same type of audio chip? | 04:01 |
| goofey | er, both | 04:01 |
| Loctrice | no dice, and no internet | 04:03 |
| Loctrice | so I guess I'm just stuck | 04:03 |
| lucas_ | goofey: i only have the on-board chip as i said. no sound card | 04:03 |
| goofey | lucas_: ahhhh - now I get it - i misunderstood | 04:04 |
| goofey | lucas_: sorry | 04:04 |
| Loctrice | I cant get a desktop for some reason, been working on the driver and the xorg.config file for days. there's nothing left to add to the file, and I cant download anything cause it wont connect to my router | 04:04 |
| lucas_ | goofey: as you can see there is at least one device that shoudn't be listed there | 04:05 |
| goofey | lucas_: agreed - i have no clue how to fix that.... | 04:06 |
| ^Ch0ps | Loctrice, what happens when you check your interfaces using ifconfig? | 04:09 |
| ^Ch0ps | are you wireless or wired? | 04:09 |

| BentFranklin | I have a problem with adept on one computer. Nothing can see apache2 or lots of other packages. How do I check the sources? Also, the appearance of adept on this system is markedly different from that on another Kubuntu 8.10 ssytem I have. Here is what adept look like on the system where it works: http://preview.tinyurl.com/a9oquv. Here is what it looks like on the system where it fails: http://preview.tinyurl.com/bqc | 04:13 |
| BentFranklin | are nominally the same release. How can they look and act dsod differently? | 04:13 |
| Loctrice | I tried the pppoed for the dsl connection and it wouldnt connect. it shows my devices | 04:13 |

| desja004 | how come if i want to install firefox in 8.10 it will take up 142MB! | 04:42 |
| desja004 | why does it install so many gnome dependencies? | 04:42 |
| yao_ziyuan | anyone using kubuntu 7.10? | 04:43 |
| ljbt | join #colombia | 04:43 |
| DaSkreech | desja004: Ubuntu recommends ubufox which installs all of Gnome | 04:43 |
| ljbt | sorry | 04:44 |
| DaSkreech | ljbt: No problem mistakes happen | 04:44 |
| desja004 | how can i install it w/o ubufox? i just want firefox ... would it be better for me to just roll my own for their website if i don't want all this stuff? | 04:44 |
| ljbt | i'm trying to enter to Dalnet server but i cant | 04:46 |
| ljbt | why is that? | 04:46 |

| zer0o | hi guys, is there an open source software as an alternative to skype? | 04:51 |
| zer0o | that of course works with skype contacts etc (like pidgin with msn messenger for example) | 04:51 |
| desja004 | DaSkreech: he he | 04:51 |
| DaSkreech | Kopete does Skype but I don't think that you will see it before KDE 4.3 | 04:51 |
| zer0o | anything else? | 04:52 |
| zer0o | cuz the thing is | 04:52 |
| desja004 | DaSkreech: you don't happen to know the status of firefox-qt do you? | 04:52 |

| bazhang | Rainium_Isotope_, please lose the caps | 05:00 |
| DaSkreech | Rainium_Isotope_: Don't know till you ask now do we? | 05:01 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | just trying to get some attention.. | 05:01 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | i asked.. | 05:01 |
| zer0o | EtFb: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=27 | 05:01 |
| DaSkreech | zer0o: If they do spy it's on a server level logging in from any client will have the same effect | 05:01 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | why wouldnt the taskbar in kde4 be visible? | 05:01 |
| maco | wartalker: er...a plasmoid you mean? | 05:01 |
| DaSkreech | Rainium_Isotope_: You deleted it or hid it? | 05:01 |
| maco | Rainium_Isotope_: the whole panel or the task manager? either way, what DaSkreech said | 05:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | nope.. | 05:02 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | the whole panel | 05:02 |
| maco | right click the desktop and add a panel widget | 05:02 |
| DaSkreech | Rainium_Isotope_: and it's not hidden? When you put your mouse at the edge of he screen it doesn't come back? | 05:02 |
| zer0o | DaSkreech: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/07/0146245 (not talkin about that, that is for sure!!! but they spy personal info and specifics from the BIOS etc) | 05:03 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | nope. | 05:03 |
| DaSkreech | Rainium_Isotope_: you probably just deleted it then | 05:03 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | any idea about how to get it back? | 05:04 |
| wartalker | maco: i mean if i restart, the network-manager icon is in tray, if log out then log in, the icon disppear, it become a widget, not plasmoid | 05:04 |
| maco | er...im gonna guess you're using kde3 if there are widgets... | 05:06 |
| maco | i have no idea how to use kde3 | 05:06 |
| DaSkreech | Rainium_Isotope_: RIght click the desktop and add panel | 05:06 |
| wartalker | maco: kde4.2, fresh install | 05:06 |
| Rainium_Isotope_ | alright cool, lemme get on the kde desktop and if it doesnt work ill get back on, grazie | 05:06 |
| maco | wartalker: is it the plasmoid-network-manager its switching to? | 05:07 |
| maco | from knetworkmanager? | 05:07 |
| zer0o | EtFb: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=95261 | 05:08 |
| zer0o | DaSkreech: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=95261 | 05:08 |
| wartalker | i think it knetworkmanager, it is the default | 05:08 |
| maco | knetworkmanager is being replaced in kde 4.2 with plasmoid-network-manager, i think | 05:08 |
| maco | at least thats what seems to be happening in jaunty. knm isnt even installed by default anymore | 05:09 |
| wartalker | maco: it is knetworkmanager, i ps aux it | 05:09 |
| maco | is this an upgrade from kde 3 or a clean intrepid or jaunty install? | 05:10 |
| wartalker | maco:i install from cd, it is 4.1, then update to 4.2 | 05:10 |
| BentFranklin | I have a problem with adept on one computer. It can't find apache2 | 05:10 |
| BentFranklin | or lots of other packages. How do I check the sources? Also, the | 05:10 |
| BentFranklin | appearance of adept on this system is markedly different from that on | 05:10 |
| BentFranklin | another Kubuntu 8.10 system I have. | 05:10 |
| maco | why is that 4 lines? | 05:11 |
| BentFranklin | sorry I pasted it in from an emacs buffer | 05:11 |
| maco | your sources are in /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:12 |
| BentFranklin | Here is what adept looks like on the system where it works: http://preview.tinyurl.com/a9oquv. Here is what it looks like on the system where it fails: http://preview.tinyurl.com/bqcezh. Both are nominally the same release. How can they look and act so differently? | 05:12 |
| BentFranklin | sources.list is the same on both computers | 05:13 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: run sudo update-apt-xapian-index | 05:13 |
| sparr | I have been dist-upgrade'ing since breezy, cruft is starting to become a problem, and I know I am missing out on some of the newest features. I think I am going to reinstall for jaunty. | 05:14 |
| maco | sparr: breezy? wow | 05:14 |
| sparr | before kubuntu i was using debian for about 4 years, one reinstall around the middle of that too | 05:15 |
| sparr | ubuntu devs seem to pay a lot less attention to upgrades | 05:15 |
| EtFb | zer0o: From a quick read of the comments on those posts, I think Skype isn't doing anything unreasonable. After all, even ls reads /etc/passwd at times, for legitimate reasons. I think you need to stop worrying. | 05:15 |
| * EtFb loves Big Brother! | 05:15 | |
| zer0o | EtFb: have u read this? http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=95261 | 05:16 |
| BentFranklin | DaSkreech: Okay I did that, I assum I shoudl fetch sources again? | 05:17 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: sure | 05:17 |
| SuspectZero | how can i add a mac partition to fstab? | 05:17 |
| DaSkreech | EtFb: Mozilla? | 05:18 |
| DaSkreech | SuspectZero: The same way tht you mount it | 05:18 |
| SuspectZero | no i mean does it need somehting special? | 05:18 |
| SuspectZero | cause ntfs has ntfs-3g | 05:18 |
| BentFranklin | DaSkreeck - same result. I think I may need to remove adept and reinstall it. On both of those screenshots I have clicked the View menu item. On the failing adept the entire View dropdown is the little circle that the arrow points to. | 05:20 |
| DaSkreech | SuspectZero: ntfs would work as well ntfs-3g just gives you more features | 05:20 |
| SuspectZero | ah i see. | 05:20 |
| SuspectZero | cool i think i got it | 05:20 |
| SuspectZero | thanks | 05:20 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: hmm maybe or learn apt :) | 05:21 |
| BentFranklin | I've been all through this http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto | 05:21 |
| BentFranklin | oh, apt also fails to see apache2 | 05:22 |
| sparr | maco: you ever notice that upgrading causes you to miss out on things? | 05:22 |
| sparr | i know that kde 4 isn't ready, but i suspect i am getting an even shorter end of the stick than intended due to my upgrade path | 05:22 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: apt-cache search apache2 shows nothing ? | 05:24 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: What are you doing? | 05:24 |
| sparr | DaSkreech: upgrading for "too long" | 05:24 |
| DaSkreech | Hmm? | 05:24 |
| BentFranklin | er, that used to be the case, now I found it. I guess adept is falling apart. What's supposed to replace it? | 05:25 |
| buckethead | Doh. I've been wrestling with nfs for an hour.. Forgot to poke a firewall hole. What port range is nfs on? | 05:25 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: kpackagekit | 05:25 |
| sparr | DaSkreech: when upgrading, old configuration affects new versions, often causing new features to be missed. this happens more often in ubuntu than debian, in my experience, and i think that after long enough it becomes a problem worthy of a reinstall | 05:26 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: agreed | 05:26 |
| DaSkreech | What I do is just move the config files | 05:27 |
| DaSkreech | So things pick up fresh configs then copy across the stuff that I needed | 05:27 |
| BentFranklin | Thanks DaSkreech, the xapian commend worked. How did you know? I googled quite a bit for answers. | 05:27 |
| sparr | well, there's also the matter of package cruft | 05:28 |
| sparr | ive picked up a lot of packages i never needed, or dont need any more | 05:28 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: Cause Adept sometimes doesn't rebuild the xapian database after it does an update mostly after you add new servers | 05:28 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: Debian isn't immune to that either :) | 05:28 |
| sparr | every upgrade i see more stuff in my startup/shutdown output that doesn't belong | 05:28 |
| sparr | not immune, but better | 05:28 |
| DaSkreech | Well it takes a longer time between upgrades | 05:28 |
| sparr | ubuntu, as a community of developers, seems to put a lot more work into the new user experience than into upgrades | 05:29 |
| sparr | not fair to compare ubuntu releases to debian releases | 05:29 |
| DaSkreech | Ubuntu is a little spastisic monkey in comparison | 05:29 |
| sparr | ubuntu releases "more often", but debian has rolling targets (testing and unstable) that i love dearly and wish ubuntu had equivalents for | 05:29 |
| DaSkreech | sparr: Yeah :) | 05:29 |
| buckethead | LOL @ little spastic monkey. | 05:29 |
| DaSkreech | Well if debian is a better fit for you please use it | 05:30 |
| sparr | then again, my sources list would make most devs cry :) | 05:30 |
| faileas | sparr: well technically, ubuntu is snapshots of sid that have been cleaned up | 05:30 |
| faileas | and didn't debian just release lenny after like... 5 years? ;p | 05:30 |
| sparr | i am currently mixing ubuntu feisty, intrepid, jaunty, debian experimental, unstable, testing, damn small linux, and at least 20 other distro-neutral repos | 05:30 |
| faileas | o0 | 05:31 |
| DaSkreech | distro neutral ? | 05:31 |
| sparr | my pinning configuration is... non-trivial :) | 05:31 |
| * faileas runs ubuntu, and compiles what he can't get on a repo himself | 05:31 | |
| sparr | which is annoying, since there are like 3 people on the planet who actually understand the contents of apt/preferences | 05:31 |
| sparr | one of the least well documented parts of debian/apt | 05:32 |
| BentFranklin | It works! | 05:39 |
| BentFranklin | Thanks DaSkreech for the Drano | 05:39 |
| DaSkreech | BentFranklin: Duckneck is better! | 05:41 |

| COm_BOY | in Kubuntu | 06:38 |
| COm_BOY | it was installed... | 06:38 |
| COm_BOY | okey can you guys tell me some other tools which can easily penetrate into Cisco network and can be installed on Kubuntu | 06:39 |
| DaSkreech | COm_BOY: What is it? | 06:40 |
| COm_BOY | Yersinia is a Network penetration tool......... I cant run it , so can you guys recommend me some other | 06:40 |
| COm_BOY | ? | 06:41 |

| * obzolete_ ;f | 06:47 | |
| COm_BOY | I cant see it in the Internet section | 06:48 |
| Tm_T | COm_BOY: penetration means in this case what exactly? | 06:48 |
| COm_BOY | Network Attacking toools like Nessus , Core Impact etc | 06:48 |
| Tm_T | COm_BOY: sounds like illegal activities or similar | 06:49 |
| COm_BOY | no I m making it Ethical way | 06:49 |
| COm_BOY | I want to scan my network , for loopholes | 06:49 |
| Tm_T | I see | 06:49 |

| COm_BOY | they also do simillar activities.. to secure the network | 06:49 |
| Tm_T | I know (: | 06:49 |
| COm_BOY | now i want some tools for these kind of activities | 06:49 |
| COm_BOY | i cant run Yersinia | 06:49 |
| COm_BOY | the main core objective is to penetrate Cisco networks | 06:50 |
| DaSkreech | Tm_T: Not necesserialy | 06:51 |
| DaSkreech | COm_BOY: Run from the command line | 06:51 |
| rgreening | COm_BOY: how about packit | 06:51 |
| COm_BOY | packit is a tool ? | 06:51 |
| COm_BOY | okey tell me if i installed Yersinia , what would be the default directory it got installed | 06:52 |
| rgreening | yes, and its in the Ubuntu repos | 06:52 |
| Tm_T | DaSkreech: I know, was just checking | 06:52 |
| DaSkreech | COm_BOY: You don't need to know that I think. HOw did you say you installed it? | 06:52 |
| COm_BOY | from Adept | 06:54 |
| tyler_d | why is it when I do nslookup mail.myserver.com I get Address: 192.168.22.136#53 -- this is the internal address of my server... but whats with the #53? | 06:54 |

| zzillezz | why is there no automatic mentioning of hardware drivers like nvidia with jaunty alpha5 ? | 07:04 |
| zzillezz | and when i run Hardware Drivers manually, it just hangs | 07:04 |
| sille | anyone know how to get rid of driver icons on desktop?? | 07:05 |
| SandGorgon | guys.. are all of you guys using phonon-gstreamer or have you switched to phonon-vlc / phonon-mplayer ? I heard that the vlc/mplayer backends are much better, but because of the licensing issues .. is not enabled by default | 07:10 |
| wire | how can I check to see if I have hardware accelerated graphics? | 07:17 |
| wire | I've installed the ATI graphics drivers with the hardware drivers app, but things are still slow and the effects don't look right | 07:18 |
| zzillezz | at least it works with you :-) | 07:18 |
| wire | well, something crashed when it was installing | 07:18 |
| wire | but I rebooted and it says the driver is enabled | 07:19 |
| ash211 | you can get a rough idea of graphics acceleration by running glxgears | 07:19 |
| ash211 | of course, you're not supposed to be using that for benchmarking :) | 07:19 |
| wire | I just want to see if I have any sort of 3d (or 2d) acceleration | 07:20 |
| wire | but I don't think I do | 07:20 |
| zzillezz | alright, it's the belgium mirror that is down | 07:20 |
| wire | ok, looking at the krash report, it says kmix was the app that crashed | 07:20 |
| ash211 | hmm, it's been a while but try looking at glxinfo | 07:20 |
| zzillezz | reboot | 07:21 |
| wire | well I tried a reboot after the driver install but no change | 07:21 |
| wire | glxinfo returned a lot of info | 07:22 |
| wire | what should I be looking for in there? | 07:22 |
| ash211 | I don't know offhand | 07:22 |
| ash211 | check the manpages or google would be my next step | 07:23 |
| wire | momentarily corrupted video on gui effects, is that a known problem? | 07:24 |
| Slartibartfast | wire ... do in a terminal "glxinfo|grep direct" | 07:24 |
| wire | that's the most noticable issue, other than that it's just suffering from a low framerate | 07:24 |
| wire | It says "Yes" and has all the right stuff about Open GL and the right graphics "Radeon Express" | 07:25 |
| Slartibartfast | here it give the output: direct rendering: Yes | 07:25 |
| wire | it did for me, too | 07:26 |
| wire | or Radeon Xpress, heh sorry | 07:26 |
| Slartibartfast | Then maybe you need an other ATI drive for your card | 07:26 |
| wire | that's what I get for not c&p | 07:26 |
| === bayram is now known as Lenovoo | ||
| wire | this was the autodetected driver | 07:27 |
| zzillezz | hmmm, automatic updates still doesn't work | 07:27 |
| wire | should I be trying one directly from ati? | 07:27 |
| wire | I mean, all indications are that it's installed correctly but it still doesn't help | 07:27 |
| Slartibartfast | Not really sure wire, but you can try it | 07:29 |
| wire | heh well I was just looking through the ubuntu forums for my card (200M) and "It probably will not boot into a graphical interface by default and I have yet to encounter a person with that card who successfully got their 3d acceleration working." | 07:35 |
| wire | so that doesn't look promising at all | 07:35 |
| wire | at least it looks like the gui boot bug was solved | 07:35 |
| Slartibartfast | wire: to bad :-( | 07:39 |
| sille | how to get rid of drive icons on desktop...? | 07:46 |
| Slartibartfast | sille: which version ? | 07:49 |
| wire | this should be dead simple, but I can't find it ... how do I reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad? | 07:52 |
| wire | I'm looking in keyboard and mouse, but there's not the 'speed' slider I thought there might be | 07:53 |
| wire | ah, I think Advanced > Pointer acceleration is the option I was looking for | 07:56 |
| wire | feature request: make it a slider | 07:56 |
| wire | hah, of course, that might be a challenge to set when the mouse is flying across the screen | 07:57 |
| sille | Slartibartfast: sorry took so long to respond... had a "birdy" emergency.... had to seperate my 2 cockateils... lets just say they weren't fighting :) | 08:03 |
| sille | Slartibartfast: i believe version is feisty... ye i know.. it is no longer supported | 08:03 |
| sille | have old pc with few resources... i dont think newer version would run very well on this system. | 08:04 |
| Slartibartfast | what drive icons you don't want to get displayed on the desktop? | 08:05 |
| sille | Slartibartfast: my /, and bot mounted drives. want to keep fairy clean desktop | 08:06 |
| sille | Slartibartfast: oops... and both (2) mounted drives. | 08:07 |
| Slartibartfast | i know evrything what gets mounted in the /media directory gets displayed on the desktop .... so maybe the other mounted directories you can mount on /mnt instead | 08:07 |
| Slartibartfast | But i thought there was also some option somewhere in the settings ..... but feisty is long ago for me :-) | 08:08 |
| sille | ok. the / of course is root directory. since it is my OS, dos this need to be mounted?\ | 08:08 |
| alexshenoy | anybody running 4.2 on 8.10? | 08:08 |
| Slartibartfast | yes ... / should be mounted | 08:09 |
| Slartibartfast | :-) | 08:09 |
| sille | heh...he... | 08:09 |
| alexshenoy | well i can't seem to compile new plasmoids. | 08:09 |

| sille | Slartibartfast: if i just delete teh icons on teh desktop, does it delete teh drive or is the icon on teh desktop a shortcut? | 08:13 |
| wire | well, it kinda worked | 08:15 |
| Slartibartfast | sille, i think it is a shortcut .... but if you delete them from the desktop i think they will re-appear with you next login :-) ..... although not sure | 08:16 |
| wire | I used ati-driver-installer-8.28.8 (for Radeon Xpress 200) and now I have some 3d effects | 08:17 |
| wartalker | knetworkmanager icon sometime not in the tray, it like a normal window, someone help | 08:17 |
| wire | the alt-tab flipper works and so does window transparency | 08:17 |
| DaSkreech | sille: driver icons? | 08:18 |
| wire | however, the 2d rendering is still slow and broken | 08:18 |
| Slartibartfast | No drive / partition icons on the feisty desktop | 08:18 |
| DaSkreech | ok | 08:20 |
| sille | DaSkreech: yes... my mounted drives (partitions shw on my desktop. i really don't mind too much that my utility (mp3/avi) partitions show.. however, i would rather not have y root drive "/" showing on the destop as a shortcut.. | 08:22 |
| DaSkreech | Ok I think that's done by hal | 08:23 |

| pfarmer | Hi all, when I do a "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/m60411392 - can anyone suggest a fix? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: try: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:03 |

| stefanro | Hi all, i just installed kubuntu 9.04 and now i now can't reboot from the desktop | 10:05 |
| stefanro | clicking on "Restart", "Shutdown" or even "Logout" seems to have no effect | 10:05 |
| stefanro | has anybody seen this behaviour before? any ideas? | 10:05 |
| pfarmer | ActionParsnip1: Thanks, but - http://pastebin.com/m27628631 | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: you could use apt-get to download the deb file and then run: dpkg --force-all -i <deb file> | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: you could try renaming /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-session-manager | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: just to test, if its no good, rename back | 10:08 |
| pfarmer | ActionParsnip1: Ok, moved x-window-manager and now kde-window-manager has installed, but still same error with kdebase-workspace-bin | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: oktry renaming /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-session-manager | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | bah | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: rename that file too and rerun, see if its good | 10:14 |
| oobe | hello i recently did a fresh install of intrepid and i immediatly upgraded to kde 4.2 and every thing is pretty much ok but my system will randomly freeze im just wondering if anyone here has had similar issue with kde 4.2 or intrepid in general and if they might have a work around or fix | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oobe: have you installed video drivers? | 10:15 |
| oobe | ActionParsnip, yes im using nvidia | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oobe: did you md5 check your iso as well as verify the cd was ok on the first boot screen | 10:15 |
| oobe | nope but i dont think that is the problem | 10:16 |
| oobe | since there were no read errors | 10:16 |
| oobe | and the install went fine | 10:16 |
| pfarmer | ActionParsnip1: thanks thats worked now :) | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: ok, once its all in run: sudo apt-get -f install | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: just to make sure everything is square | 10:17 |
| pfarmer | ActionParsnip1: everything looks good now - thanks! | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: groovy | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: i'd reboot to fully test but otherwise you are golden | 10:18 |
| pfarmer | ActionParsnip1: good call, will try that | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oobe: well its worth a check just to isolate it out | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oobe: after a slowdown occurs, read: dmesg | tail | 10:19 |
| oobe | yeah i do | 10:20 |
| oobe | unfornunatly the only things i found were 5 or 10 mins b4 | 10:20 |
| oobe | oh btw i mean a complete system freeze | 10:21 |
| oobe | like needing to hard reboot | 10:21 |
| shadeslayer | hi what is the package name of amarok 2.1?? | 10:21 |
| oobe | i found somthing in my logs 5 mins prior to system freeze refering to read errors on cdrom | 10:22 |
| pfarmer | ActionParsnip1: all looks good :) | 10:22 |
| oobe | i thought that might of been it | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | pfarmer: you win the prize | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | :D | 10:23 |
| shadeslayer | and is there something like daemon tools for linux?? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oobe: can you ssh in from another pc to read the logs? | 10:23 |
| oobe | does anyone know how i can uninstall kde 4.2 and revert back to 4.1 | 10:23 |
| shadeslayer | from which i can mount ISO's??? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: what are you trying to achieve? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: linux can mount isos in the kernel | 10:23 |
| oobe | ActionParsnip1, i havent tried | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip1: package name of amarok 2.1 | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip1: and mounting ISO's | 10:24 |
| oobe | i dont think i have ssh server installed this is a fresh install | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | i found the command | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | ubottu: | 10:24 |
| shadeslayer | :P | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: daemontools is full of nasty spyware too | 10:25 |
| oobe | its running a remote backend so it would be worth checking if the remote frontend can still access it when it does freeze | 10:25 |
| shadeslayer | hehe | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: try magicdisk | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: but the kernel can mount iso files itself | 10:25 |

| Slartibartfast | thanks ActionParsnip1, interesting | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Slartibartfast: which bit? | 10:28 |
| oobe | ActionParsnip, do you think it could be just my display freezing so therefore its more likely a desktop effect or nvidia driver issue | 10:28 |
| Slartibartfast | ActionParsnip1: about project neon ... i am not part of this discussion. But still wanted to thank you for this info :-) | 10:29 |

| tabla | does anyone here knows some good link how to set up vhost on ubuntu | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip1: one more thing,i cant get my boot splash image to work | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: it grinds my system to a halt on 1Gb ram | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | 3 GB here | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: add quiet to your boot options | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: i think | 10:32 |
| shadeslayer | yeah did that | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | still doesnt work | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: if you reinstall the kubuntu artwork i think it will sort it out | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | ill paste the file | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | reinstalling is not a option | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: apt-cache search kubuntu artwork | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | yeah installed that too | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | :( | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: its only a package, not the whole system | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | oh | 10:33 |
| shadeslayer | one sec ill try again | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: try sudo apt-get --reinstall install <whatever it was> | 10:34 |
| shadeslayer | what would that do?? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: instal the package over itself and hopefully modify the menu.list file to make the splash appear | 10:34 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: you need to use apt-cache to find out the package for the artwork | 10:35 |
| drostie_ | to get the "kubuntu" screen with the loader bar, you want the options "ro quiet splash" | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !bootsplash | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash | 10:35 |
| drostie_ | Well, the ro isn't necessary, but the splash is. | 10:35 |

| shadeslayer | not usplaash | 10:35 |
| shadeslayer | *a | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: why do you need it so bad? is it really worth it? | 10:35 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 10:35 |
| drostie_ | ActionParsnip1: giving up? :-P | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | to convinconly CLIe people that linux is not | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | aarrrgh | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | drostie_: no i just dont see the point in stupiid splash screens | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | to convine people that linux is not only CLI | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | me neither | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: its only the bootup | 10:36 |
| oobe | ActionParsnip1, i just relised im using the beta nvidia drivers so im installing the stable ones hard to test any thing i try to fix as the freezes happen like once 24 hrs and appear unproceable | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | but when i say " install K/Ubuntu " | 10:36 |
| shadeslayer | people go " does it have a cursor?? " | 10:37 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: then you can educate them | 10:37 |
| shadeslayer | haha well | 10:37 |
| drostie_ | shadeslayer: when people come to the netherlands, they ask if it's safe to drink the water. stupid questions happen. | 10:37 |
| shadeslayer | well true,so far ive convinced 4 people to install Kubuntu | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | oobe: are you fully upgraded with the latest kernel | 10:37 |
| shadeslayer | all of them had the same first question | 10:38 |
| shadeslayer | doofus | 10:38 |
| oobe | yeah first time im running stock kernel i usually build my own | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: well if they dont know, they will ask | 10:38 |
| shadeslayer | yes like me | 10:38 |
| shadeslayer | but that is one stupid wuestion | 10:38 |
| shadeslayer | *q | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: i'm sure you had some bad questions when yu first tried linux too | 10:38 |

| ActionParsnip1 | yeh but im sure you had some once you were in | 10:39 |
| drostie_ | I remember one bittorrent forum where I had to point out to someone, "yes, the search boxes on this site, like every search box since 1990, use quotes to do phrase-searches." | 10:39 |

| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: looks fine to me, its not something i mess with really, maybe someone else can chip in | 10:40 |
| shadeslayer | though i had one very stupid question,whats this " konversation " thing | 10:41 |
| shadeslayer | :p | 10:41 |
| shadeslayer | hmm | 10:41 |
| drostie_ | you might also need the line "quiet" at the end of the boot stanza (after the initrd line). | 10:42 |

| sancho21 | When my usb start, I click open. But the url is system:/media/sdb1 instead of /media/MY_USB. I think it is better to be consistent. I'd like the later since it is compatible with df -h command | 10:43 |
| shadeslayer | carpii: Dell, 4065 here | 10:44 |
| shadeslayer | no problems | 10:44 |
| carpii | on 8.04 rather than 8.10 ? | 10:44 |
| drostie_ | sancho: are you sure that's /media/sdb1 and not /dev/sdb1? | 10:44 |
| shadeslayer | i8042.nomux=1 | 10:45 |
| shadeslayer | thats extra i think | 10:45 |
| shadeslayer | in mine that is | 10:45 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: 2 installs?? | 10:45 |
| carpii | ah i think thats for the touchpad maybe? | 10:45 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 10:45 |

| ActionParsnip1 | carpii: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140085 | 10:46 |

| ActionParsnip1 | carpii: you can compile the driver for it | 10:46 |
| oobe | are you using it ? | 10:46 |

| drostie_ | okay, so, I had a question. My taskbar was transparent for a while, and now it's not. I can't tell whether anything important happened between the two. How do I get it transparent again? (I can't see anything useful in the various System Settings menus.) | 10:48 |
| shadeslayer | the two superkaramba widgets i installed are so cool ^_^ | 10:49 |
| carpii | its in appearance i think | 10:49 |

| shadeslayer | drostie_: actually no | 10:49 |
| shadeslayer | use a custom theme,and dont change anything | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip1 | drostie_: i think its desktop effects enabled / disabled. I saw that happen on mine | 10:50 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Guest92772: do you have any proxys setup in firefox? do you have a firewall blocking konqueror | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Guest92772: is it some sites you can access or none | 10:55 |
| Jahman | hi | 10:55 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: recently i was in Vista recently,kept pressing alt+F2 to open a program >< | 10:55 |
| drostie | ug, got kicked off wireless right after I asked my question >_< | 10:55 |
| drostie | ActionParsnip1: desktop effects are enabled. :-/ | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: i try to tab complete commands in irc and keep wanting to use my script names which wint work on others systems | 10:56 |
| shadeslayer | :) | 10:56 |
| shadeslayer | ok ill just add neon | 10:56 |
| shadeslayer | and reboot | 10:56 |
| shadeslayer | :P | 10:56 |
| drostie | ... | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: i also keep hitting tilde on my work laptop (XP) to get yakuake | 10:56 |
| shadeslayer | haha | 10:56 |
| shadeslayer | i hadnt booted to vista in a month | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: which actually CAN run with x forwarding but its ridiculous | 10:57 |
| shadeslayer | :O | 10:57 |
| shadeslayer | really?? | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | drostie: check desktop effect settings to ensure its configured to your taste | 10:57 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: was checking if Vista hadnt died of under use | 10:57 |
| shadeslayer | ;) | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: sure x forwarding is awesome, it will only launch the apps installed on the x forwarding system though | 10:58 |
| shadeslayer | oh the KDE desktop thing | 10:58 |
| shadeslayer | which can run on win | 10:58 |
| shadeslayer | i remember reading something about it | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: yakuake is a console like interface from dom / quake / duke nukem | 10:58 |
| drostie | ActionParsnip1: there is no effect which says "makes the taskbar translucent." :-/ | 10:58 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: I did not mean the applications ....I meant the desktop manager using fluxbox instead of kwin | 10:59 |
| shadeslayer | drostie: try my method | 10:59 |
| shadeslayer | :P | 10:59 |
| shadeslayer | change theme to custom in appearence settings | 10:59 |
| shadeslayer | thats it | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: you can run any WM you like | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: you could even run openbox if you felt so inclined or lxde | 11:00 |
| Dr_willis | or jwm, or twm, or wmii, or..... | 11:01 |
| shadeslayer | lxde is too basic isnt it?? | 11:01 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on your needs. | 11:01 |
| shadeslayer | i saw the screen shots | 11:01 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: depends on your needs | 11:02 |
| Dr_willis | screen shots dont really say a lot.. other then 'look at my colors..' | 11:02 |
| drostie | Holy crap, shadeslayer's advice worked. | 11:02 |
| Dr_willis | http://xwinman.org/ - window managers for X ;) | 11:02 |
| shadeslayer | btw i have alot of problems explaining n00bs what DE's are | 11:02 |
| drostie | I just switched to a different theme and then back to oxygen, and now it's transparent again. ^_^ | 11:02 |
| shadeslayer | drostie: :) | 11:02 |
| Dr_willis | install a few.. let them switch around... | 11:02 |

| shadeslayer | nope like " im using linux for the first time " | 11:03 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: what did make you chose fluxbox? | 11:03 |
| drostie | Now if only you knew a way to install custom whitespace in a panel ^_^ | 11:03 |
| shadeslayer | sorry | 11:03 |
| shadeslayer | :P | 11:03 |
| drostie | I know a way, but I have no idea how to use it. There are spacer widgets at KDE-Look.org. | 11:04 |
| shadeslayer | but i have these super karamba themes you can try ^_^ | 11:04 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: does it integrate paticularly well? | 11:04 |
| drostie | But I have no idea how to compile them, and cmake is giving me an annoying error. | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: i got sick of kwin wanting to do a tapdance then do what i wanted, I want something slick and snappy. I configure stuf with conf files so i dont need stupid gui apps so i jumped ship. I love the very customisable shortcut keys for runnning scripts and apps and its lightweight | 11:05 |
| shadeslayer | measures temps and speed | 11:05 |
| shadeslayer | why why does apt hang up | 11:05 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: is kde performing much faster? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: you can still launch the apps in the DE. It also has a hugely customisable menu which lives on the right click but can also be brought up with a hotkey | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: yes i find the apps more responsive | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: i can run kwin on my systems. i just choose not to as i want to get things done | 11:06 |
| shadeslayer | so any easy explanation of DE | 11:06 |
| shadeslayer | i keep telling them that they are themes | 11:06 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 11:07 |
| drostie | >_< | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/09/get-to-know-linux-desktop-environment-vs-window-manager | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: sounds like you arent so sure either | 11:09 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: actually i jdesktopust know that they manage my | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | desktop | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | :P | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | *just know | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | god darn this keyboard | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | the cursor keeps skipping | 11:10 |
| shadeslayer | SPECIALLY in KDE | 11:10 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: yes, kwin works well but the overall performances are a bit less than impressive at the moment | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: its not for everybody, try a few see which you prefer | 11:13 |
| shadeslayer | if i install amarok-nightly package,will it update without adding the repo?? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: no you need to add the neon repo and its key | 11:13 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 11:13 |
| shadeslayer | whats the key?? | 11:14 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: thanks .... how do you actually set up kde to run on top of fluxbox? | 11:16 |
| shadeslayer | can anyone find it?? | 11:16 |
| shadeslayer | ct529: sudo apt-get install <desktop> | 11:16 |
| shadeslayer | press F10 to change between sessions | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: sudo apt-get install fluxbox log off, change session to fluxbox, log in | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: then launch your favourite apps as normal | 11:17 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: find the key?? | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: well you will need the gpg key for the repo | 11:17 |
| ct529 | ActionParsnip1: well .... that does not start kde on top of fluxbox .... it just starts fluxbox | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: but you can run kde apps, thats all i do | 11:18 |
| * shadeslayer cant find the gpg key | 11:18 | |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: run: sudo apt-get update you will get an error which you can websearch fo | 11:19 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 11:19 |
| shadeslayer | it said that it doesnt have a key | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ct529: what were yu expecting? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: but you have an error message you can use to websearch with | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ooo | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yes my oooo key work | 11:20 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip1: maybe he wants Vbox | 11:20 |
| shadeslayer | like one DE on ' top ' of other | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: you can only run one DE and one WM, you can just pull in other bits from the other DEs | 11:21 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: like you could install gedit which is gnome based and run it in kde | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | but like i run openSUSE KDE on top of GNOME | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | maybe he means that | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | i know i know | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | i use it all the time | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | you are running kde, just that you have the GTK installed too | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | anyways | 11:22 |
| shadeslayer | ct529: i think i got you | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: theres no 'on top of' about it | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: 1 x server + 1 DE + 1 WM | 11:23 |
| shadeslayer | ct529: you want KDE+fluxbox @ same time | 11:23 |
| shadeslayer | leave it | 11:24 |
| * shadeslayer is confused between neon,usplash and vbox | 11:24 | |

| ubottu | Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » | 12:08 |
| carpii | ok thx | 12:08 |
| drostie | also, all of my customized panels were destroyed. But I'm more concerned about the wireless. --_--;; | 12:08 |
| * shadeslayer closes desktop effects | 12:08 | |
| shadeslayer | lol | 12:09 |
| shadeslayer | what happened?? | 12:09 |
| * shadeslayer hates compiz | 12:09 | |
| shadeslayer | ^^ | 12:09 |
| drostie | Um. I changed my desktop theme. Then my computer crashed. Then, when I rebooted, my panels were gone and wireless was dead. :-X | 12:09 |
| shadeslayer | OMG i just noticed | 12:09 |
| shadeslayer | :O | 12:09 |
| drostie | it was, er, rather bad. | 12:10 |
| shadeslayer | my superkaramba theme shows 3016 MB RAM | 12:10 |
| shadeslayer | where as there should be more | 12:10 |
| shadeslayer | grr | 12:10 |
| drostie | the system logs contain entries like, NetworkManager<WARN> wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/0 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service | 12:11 |

| chaoslang | <ubottu> i am sorry .i kown i could use the dpkg-buildpackage command to make a source package to binnary package. but i want to kown how the dpkg-buildpackage to realize it. such as the writing rules | 12:14 |
| drostie | shadeslayer: I'm not sure I trust your advice. Esecially because deleting the kde folder will destroy my preferences that let me connect to the network in the first place, which had to be customized because knetworkmanager and the other network management thing in kde4.2 have crippled graphical interfaces that are incompatible with the entire EU's eduroam network. D: | 12:14 |
| shadeslayer | whatttt | 12:14 |
| shadeslayer | ok try listing your device | 12:14 |
| shadeslayer | using lspci | 12:15 |
| drostie | I'm serious. The default KDE 4.2 install does not come with 802.11 g (aka "Dynamic WEP") key management. knetworkmanager has it, but does not allow you to select your phase2 of authentication. | 12:15 |
| shadeslayer | uh i use kde 4.2,i have 802.11 g,i use it all the time | 12:16 |
| drostie | In knetworkmanager, every release since gutsy they've fixed this bug, only to have their fix not propagate to the next version, for some reason. | 12:16 |
| shadeslayer | it came pre configured | 12:16 |
| shadeslayer | lol | 12:16 |
| shadeslayer | is there anyway to run powertop in the background?? | 12:17 |
| drostie | shadeslayer: I have looked very long and hard at that screen. It only has three options: "WEP", "WPA-EAP", and "WPA" something else. | 12:17 |
| chaoslang | how i could open the wireless network? the drives is already ok. | 12:17 |
| shadeslayer | drostie: ok,dont take my advice | 12:17 |

| shadeslayer | :( | 12:18 |
| drostie | >_< | 12:18 |

| ActionParsnip1 | Laeborg: well do you have it autorunning, you have to manually set that up | 12:36 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip1: a dumb question,but how do i unmount the mounted ISO?? | 12:42 |
| shadeslayer | >< | 12:42 |
| shadeslayer | i used | 12:43 |
| shadeslayer | !ISO | 12:43 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 12:43 |
| shadeslayer | that ^ | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: sudo umount /mount/point/name | 12:44 |
| shadeslayer | point?? name?? | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: you need to umount the folder name you mounted it to | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | shadeslayer: i figured youd work it out with some fuzy logic | 12:45 |
| shadeslayer | lol | 12:45 |
| shadeslayer | i tried the command | 12:45 |
| shadeslayer | earlier before asking | 12:45 |

| shadeslayer | ooooooohhhhhhhh | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | read the commands i give, not what you think they say | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ActionParsnip: shadeslayer: sudo umount /mount/point/name | 12:46 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 12:47 |
| shadeslayer | it unmounted | 12:47 |

| lokai | I have a very strange problem. I've mounted an SD flash memory card and I want to remove some files that have a bunch of special characters. Lucikly, they are all MP3s. I try rm *mp3, and it says rm: <filename>: No such file or directory | 13:25 |
| lokai | I think the really funny characters in the filenames are giving RM a hard time...but I've never had a problem like this before -- any ideas? | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: try rm *.mp3 | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: make sure your pwd is on the flash card | 13:26 |
| lokai | yeah ofc pwd is where it needs to be | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: just checking | 13:27 |
| lokai | *.mp3 gives same behvior | 13:27 |
| lokai | ouch spelling. | 13:27 |
| drostie | can you hack something together with ls and backticks? | 13:28 |
| lokai | well if * doesnt expect it correctly then I'm a loss as to what to do | 13:29 |
| lokai | *expand | 13:29 |
| lokai | hmmm maybe GUI drag and drop? ^^ | 13:30 |
| drostie | what sort of filenames are we talking about, here? | 13:30 |
| drostie | and how many? Can tab-completion shed some light on the problem? | 13:30 |
| lokai | tab completion works correctly. Filenames with spaces, japaneses characters, and degree signs | 13:31 |
| lokai | all sorts of garbage | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: do the tab completed files delete ok? | 13:31 |
| lokai | no, same problem. | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ahhh | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | then its not mouted user writable | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: sudo umount /mount/point | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: what file system is the SD card formatted? | 13:34 |
| lokai | yeah not that simple...Im working with a SD card instead an ebook reader. | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | we can still mess with it | 13:35 |
| vadi01 | who uses kde 4.2 on kubuntu 8.10 here? | 13:35 |

| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: if you run: sudo fdisk -l what is the file system? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vadi01: wouldnt know, i use fluxbox | 13:35 |
| drostie | ActionParsnip1: just let mount work it out for itself? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | drostie: looks like its tried and mounted it read only | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | vadi01: is that a question or a statement? | 13:36 |
| drostie | welll, then specify -o defaults,rw or something ^_^ | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | drostie: i was gonna use -o uid=1000 | 13:37 |
| lokai | I don't think fdisk -l is listing it | 13:37 |
| lokai | I get sda1 through sda6, all of which are (im pretty sure) not my device | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: is the card still mounted? | 13:37 |
| lokai | no | 13:37 |
| drostie | can you remount it? | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: ok, remove the sd card, wait a bit, shove it back in, wait a bit | 13:38 |
| drostie | as in, stick it back in the drive etc.? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: once its mounted again run mount with no arguments and it will say where its mounted | 13:38 |
| lokai | the problem is that I have to go through the book reader as a "portal", which has its own filesystem as well. | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: its more than likely fat32 or fat16 | 13:39 |
| drostie | ok, on to boot from the jaunty alpha 5 livecd and see whether my internet can be reconfigured there... ^_^ | 13:40 |
| lokai | The only way I can mount it in the first place is with a python program (not mine), so I think this is a bit trickier than moutning a filesystem. | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | lokai: sounds like it, theres gotta be some way round it | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | sounds like a project | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | can you sudo rm <one mp3> | 13:41 |
| lokai | I'll look into it ;) | 13:41 |
| lokai | no, doesnt work | 13:41 |

| XPS_M1330 | I actually run on ubuntu 8.04. I want to switch to KDE and upgrade to 8.10. I have a kubuntu 8.10 CD. will I be able to upgrade the system while keeping settings and data? | 15:16 |
| JuJuBee | I just got a new laptop (core2 duo 2.53 w/ 6G ram). SHould I install the 64 bit version of kubuntu? | 15:17 |
| JuJuBee | XPS_M1330: why not install kubunt-desktop and then do the version upgrade after... | 15:18 |
| mefisto__ | JuJuBee: if you don't, you won't get to use 6GB ram | 15:18 |
| XPS_M1330 | somehow I thought it would be more simple that way | 15:18 |
| JuJuBee | mefisto__: I am more concerned about compatibility. Will there be compat issues? | 15:18 |
| XPS_M1330 | because if I installed KDE-desktop now it'll be Kde 3.5, then I'd have to upgrade to 8,10 then KDe4.2 | 15:19 |
| XPS_M1330 | and I can't do the 8.10 network upgrade because I reached my download limit for the month | 15:19 |
| mefisto__ | XPS_M1330: do you have a separate /home partition? or a backup of your home dir? | 15:20 |
| JuJuBee | Ah, then you should backup and install from CD. | 15:20 |

| mefisto__ | XPS_M1330: you can do an upgrade from the alternate cd, but not livecd | 15:24 |
| mefisto__ | XPS_M1330: if it's livecd, you have to do a new install, so backup everything you want to keep | 15:25 |
| XPS_M1330 | shit | 15:25 |
| XPS_M1330 | ok thanks | 15:25 |
| mefisto__ | !upgrade | 15:25 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | XPS_M1330: if you'd read the upgrade notes before downloading ou would have seen it uses the alternative disk | 15:26 |
| XPS_M1330 | so if I install from the liveCD, all the partitions will be erased? | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | XPS_M1330: no, if you want to install with live cd you will have to makes some space to install the OS or remove the current partitions | 15:27 |
| XPS_M1330 | can't I install on the same partitions and it would do like an upgrrade? | 15:28 |
| Rythan | XPS_M1330 No. Not from the Live CD | 15:28 |
| XPS_M1330 | darn! | 15:29 |
| Rythan | XPS_M1330 Live CD formats all partitions with no option not to | 15:29 |

| UnderWraps_ | several hours ago I couldn't login and had several errors messages pop up "could not start kstartupconfig" then "call to lnusertemp failed {temp directoried full}". Could these errors be caused by a hard drive being nearly full? One drive is at 95%, but it is only a storage drive | 15:32 |
| XPS_M1330 | JuJuBee: could you keep all settings and data? | 15:32 |
| UnderWraps_ | I have had a look at several of the logs in var/log but couldn't see any obvious errors | 15:33 |
| JuJuBee | XPS_M1330: what do you mean by settings? | 15:33 |
| hondo | Any know troubles with 8.10 and mounting a separate partition for /home? | 15:33 |
| XPS_M1330 | apps preferences and such | 15:33 |
| JuJuBee | hondo : no problem mounting sep part for /home | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hondo: none, i do it myself | 15:34 |
| XPS_M1330 | if it didn't remove /home it kept the ~/.thunderbird/ etc... | 15:34 |
| Rythan | XPS_M1330 That is the thing I think may be an issue. Yes some settings would be saved if you do not format /home (This requires that /home be on a seperate partition) But any settings in /etc would be over written unless you had /etc on a seperate partition and chose not to format | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | XPS_M1330: thunderbird is ~/.mozilla-thunderbird | 15:34 |
| hondo | ActionParsnip1, JuJuBee thanks -- I'm having a rough time of it | 15:34 |
| === i3ooi3oo_ is now known as i3ooi3oo | ||
| JuJuBee | XPS_M1330: if they are in your /home then they will save, if they are in /etc for example and /etc is under /, then they will get overwritten. Let me state the obviuos.... BACKUP first. | 15:35 |
| XPS_M1330 | ActionParsnip: ok, I just typed that randomly as an example | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | XPS_M1330: just covering ll bases :) | 15:35 |
| Rythan | JuJuBee Always backup before an upgrade - learned that the hard way -- just once :) | 15:35 |
| XPS_M1330 | how do I know how my disk is partitioned? I'm used to a nice graphical "diskdrake" app in mandriva :P | 15:35 |
| XPS_M1330 | fdisk II guess | 15:35 |
| hondo | In trying to move from 8.04 to 8.10, I installed 8.10 on a separate partition and used the same /home partition I used previousy | 15:36 |
| hondo | previously | 15:36 |
| Rythan | XPS_M1330 Yes. All that is important is that you have /home on it's own partition. You can also backup /home somewhere and restore it after upgrade too. | 15:36 |
| hondo | Now I get a boot error "cannot access ./home | 15:37 |
| hondo | " | 15:37 |
| XPS_M1330 | I actually run on ubuntu 8.04. I want to switch to KDE and upgrade to 8.10. I have a kubuntu 8.10 CD. will I be able to upgrade the system while keeping settings and data? | 15:37 |

| UnixOne | joshjtl: yes multipanel is possible, I have kubuntu 8.10 and kde4.2 | 15:53 |

| UnixOne | DaSkreech: It would be a timesaver if there was already such thing. I was talking about a shell script. | 15:59 |

| UnixOne | a wallpaper per desktop is not possible in kde4.2?? | 16:00 |
| DaSkreech | UnixOne: not for KDE 4.2 as far as I know I would suspect there is already support in KDE 4.3 though I honestly hven't checked. I would say if you are going to fix a small issue fix it properly | 16:00 |
| DaSkreech | UnixOne: | 16:00 |
| DaSkreech | Not as it shipped | 16:00 |
| UnixOne | DaSkreech: yes, I remember there was support for a wallpaper per desktop on an old 3.x kde | 16:00 |
| DaSkreech | UnixOne: Yes KDE4 Desktop was rewritten from scratch so somethings are just coming back in. The entire background system is a plugin so you can simply write a plugin (patch in this case) to get that in | 16:01 |
| UnixOne | DaSkreech: this guy has the same opinion about kde as me http://forum.kde.org/kde4-composite-vs-kde4-activity-t-10158.html and all he got told is wait. | 16:01 |
| hondo | If I try to install 8.10 using a separate legacy partition for /home the install fails; however, if I empty the /home partition the install succeeds. Any thoughts? | 16:02 |
| DaSkreech | Which guy? | 16:02 |
| UnixOne | DaSkreech: cool, I just learned latex. i know java etc. and now it's time for (what language do you use for kde programming) ? | 16:02 |
| DaSkreech | In generall C++ | 16:03 |

| snikker | hi, "num lock" button (even if it's enabled) doesn't work inside nano editor (i'm unable to type numbers with num pad), but work fine inside konsole... how fix this? | 16:59 |
| shadeslayer | ActionParsnip: but it also gave me a option to chain load to grub 2 :O | 16:59 |
| BentFranklin | I want to make a full system dump to a NAS samba share. I've read most of the !backups links. Are there downsides to tar? Does it preserve permissions? Also, to restore the system to a new disk, I'd first have to install a bare system and samba to that disk, and then untar. How do I make sure it erases/overwrites everything and doesn't leave cruft. | 17:00 |

| pisnaz | DaSkreech: quick q for you when you get a min. | 17:34 |
| DaSkreech | Uh huh | 17:34 |
| pisnaz | what do you use for tagging of mp3s and album covers? Just amarok or..? | 17:34 |
| pisnaz | it appears my collection is wacky lol | 17:35 |
| DaSkreech | Well there was a mass id3 tagger that I used until I realised that a lot of my files are physically incorrectly named | 17:36 |
| DaSkreech | and with like 55 GB of Music that's an issue :) | 17:37 |
| === Happy is now known as HappySmileMan | ||
| DaSkreech | so I just made a huge playlist and started eliminating thigns I knew to be correct and fixing stuff that was obviously wrong | 17:37 |
| pisnaz | oh lovely..Yeah not having great luck witha ton of the taggers out there. Even picard is acting up, think it may be due to the majority of my album tags saying Best of and causing chaos. | 17:37 |
| DaSkreech | Sooo that's not a lot of help :) | 17:37 |
| pisnaz | Sigh afraid you were gonna say that rofl | 17:38 |
| DaSkreech | I think that Amarok had a special case for best of | 17:38 |
| pisnaz | Nasty thing is I was sure I did that prior to my last backup | 17:38 |
| DaSkreech | or was it various artists? | 17:38 |
| DaSkreech | one of the two | 17:38 |
| pisnaz | various artists I think | 17:38 |
| DaSkreech | Well if you are in Amarok ask wheels about tagging that would be the guy in the know | 17:39 |
| pisnaz | May bring the media system up to amarok2, and start working I guess. or open a smb share and use the tagger off my win system. | 17:39 |

| Codd | im on 8.10 with latest updates/upgrades installed and nvidia 177 binary blob on a XFX6200 w/256mb vram and 512MB RAM. I have some eyecandy going and it seems to be pretty fluid but when ever I scroll in a web page (firefox/konq) or a large folder (Dolphin) I get some really nasty slow downs and page tearing where it looks like a half second delay between the left and right hand of the screen being rendered followed by another half | 18:32 |
| Codd | second of gui lockup before I scan scroll again | 18:32 |
| Codd | anyone else have similar issues? | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Codd: could try the 173 driver or the 180 driver to test | 18:37 |
| Codd | ActionParsnip; the 180 driver doesn't show up in hardware manager, how do i get it? | 18:47 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | hello, on kubuntu 8.10 live mode the screen flashes to black for a milisecond every few seconds. is that a known issue? | 18:50 |
| Codd | LOGANonUBUNTU: what kind of video card and what drivers are you using? | 18:51 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | Also I sort of miss my apps I use normally (on windows) like firefox and pidgin. It has some alternatives. Why arent the big names on the CD? (I tend to use the buntus in live mode for now) | 18:51 |

| LOGANonUBUNTU | I have an nvideo gforce 8800 something | 18:51 |

| UnderWraps_ | shura: have a look in Konqueror/settings/configure Konqueror, there is a section devoted to cookies | 18:53 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | Codd: I hear you but as a live cd user it would be more usefull if it was 'pre-installed' | 18:53 |
| vbgunz | I honestly dont think sound will be up to par even with Windows for atleast several years. theres always sound problems and you're just lucky if it works at all even on a card create by Richard M Stallman himself :P | 18:53 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | i like the GUI of kubuntu better than Ubuntu I think | 18:53 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | On ubuntu I miss the cool widgets :D | 18:53 |
| Codd | LOGANonUBUNTU: same here, I find for installing eyecandy and themes/backgrounds kde is much better and slicker | 18:54 |
| Codd | theres still widgets in kde ... just click the right end of the task bar ;) | 18:54 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | things I miss in kubuntu are Firefox, Gimp, Open Office, VLC, Blender and probably a few more. Using those apps will ease old windows hags like me into kubuntu easier. Im on Ubuntu right now, because it has familar apps. (And doesnt blink every few seconds | 18:56 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | no widgets in Ubuntu? | 18:56 |
| Codd | LOGANonUBUNTU: I have to say that from using linux for the past 8yrs I think it is getting pretty good, I've installed ubuntu/kubuntu on a couple of machines for friends that just surf once in a while on somewhat old hardware and they think I'm a god after I show them how to install / search synaptic | 18:58 |
| Codd | LOGANonUBUNTU: so do you have the nvidia drivers installed or the open source drivers? | 19:00 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | i run live CD | 19:01 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | so i run it 'out of the box' | 19:01 |
| Codd | check in Applications > System > Hardware Drivers | 19:01 |
| Codd | sometimes it installs on its own sometimes not... | 19:02 |
| mefisto__ | Codd: that's not going to work on livecd though, since you need to reboot after the drivers install | 19:02 |
| LOGANonUBUNTU | you can isntall software with live but drivers is harder I guess... | 19:03 |
| Codd | is there a kernel line you can add to get it to install automatically? | 19:03 |
| dromer | Codd: do you know why the nvidia 180 drivers are not in ubuntu yet? | 19:07 |
| dromer | or do I need to run jaunty for those? | 19:08 |
| Codd | dromer: right now I can get that in jaunty but pulseaudio is messed up so I had to back down | 19:08 |
| dromer | that's because puleaudio sucks | 19:09 |
| dromer | hmmm, but I just upgraded to intrepid | 19:09 |
| dromer | and I don't really want to run unstable on this machine | 19:09 |
| Codd | right now it does ... pretty bad too, I was getting some nasty stuttering | 19:09 |
| dromer | or testing for that matter | 19:09 |
| dromer | ok, sucks | 19:10 |
| dromer | hmm, I'm having so trouble with the tvout of my geforce 6200 | 19:10 |
| dromer | I can only get b/w output | 19:10 |
| dromer | and sometimes x flips out on the output and it's in color, except all the red is green | 19:10 |
| Codd | dromer: did u check the settings in 'nvidia-settings'? | 19:10 |
| dromer | there's not anything to set | 19:11 |
| Codd | nothing? | 19:11 |
| dromer | like pal/ntsc or something | 19:11 |
| dromer | wel, nothing related to color or anything, I tried the 177 and 173 driver | 19:11 |
| dromer | too bad the 180 driver isn't available yet, that might fix it .. | 19:11 |
| vital | anyone know of any other kde-svn repository but the project-neon one? the neon repository isn't updated since a long time | 19:12 |
| Codd | dromer: I have the same card and a CRT TV connected to the s-video, under "GPU0" I get TV-0 with a buch of options relating to things like hue, staturation ...etc | 19:13 |
| Codd | thats with 177 drivers | 19:13 |
| dromer | wel ok, I get _that_ but those settings don't help anything | 19:13 |
| dromer | you have normal color output? | 19:14 |
| dromer | hmmm, I'm using an svid>comp converter though .. but I don't think that should matter | 19:14 |
| Codd | my color is fine (other than the fact I need to get a new TV ;) but I think the driver might try to do some 'magic' by trying to detect settings of the tv on start up | 19:16 |
| dromer | hmm | 19:17 |
| Codd | I know when I first installed kubuntu the tv was off and when I turned it on I got some nasty garbage on the screen but when I left it on and restarted it started to work again | 19:19 |
| Codd | if the tv isn't on when the driver loads it messes up | 19:19 |
| dromer | well that's not the case, I rebooted a couple of times | 19:19 |
| dromer | I'm going to revert to 177 again (have 173 now), but I don't think there's anyting extra in the settings | 19:20 |
| mefisto__ | can't you download the 180 driver? | 19:20 |
| Codd | only if you hit on one of the devels ;) | 19:21 |
| dromer | not from the hardware drivers manager, and my experience with ubuntu is shit gets messed up when installing non ubuntu packages or eslf-compiled software .. I'm sure going around the hardware driver manager will mess things up good | 19:22 |

| MaPkO | i was see | 20:40 |
| MaPkO | on /etc/resolv.conf | 20:40 |
| Codd | MaPkO: also if your going back to the computer the output of : lsusb and route : would be good as well | 20:41 |
| MaPkO | and there is the my gateway ip inserted | 20:41 |
| john_ | soo.. I have a fresh install of 8.10 and upgraded to kde 4.2. what package should I apt-get to install driver for my radeon 9600? or should I activate the one in 'Hardware drivers'? | 20:41 |
| MaPkO | Codd u need lsusb and route ? | 20:41 |
| Codd | MaPkO: there may be a bad route giving you the issue | 20:42 |
| Codd | that could help | 20:42 |
| Codd | john_ try playing around with compiz and see how you like it, I think the open source drivers for that card are pretty good | 20:43 |
| MaPkO | ya ya ! | 20:43 |
| MaPkO | maybe is that Codd | 20:43 |
| MaPkO | i was try route | 20:43 |
| Codd | lol | 20:43 |
| MaPkO | and i was didnt see the gateway ip.. | 20:43 |
| MaPkO | what is the command to i insert the gateway ? | 20:44 |
| Codd | you like star wars you do? | 20:44 |
| heinkel_111 | out of curiosity what has made compiz so cool as an add-on now that 3D desktop effects are included by default? | 20:44 |
| MaPkO | so next maybe will be that i can connect on the irc via my new kubuntu :D | 20:44 |
| MaPkO | Codd what is the command for inserting the route gateway ip ? | 20:45 |
| Codd | MaPkO: your default route should be wlan0 so 'sudo route add default gw wlan0' would do it | 20:45 |
| MaPkO | :D | 20:45 |
| MaPkO | i mean will this help !! | 20:45 |
| Codd | mabe | 20:45 |

| ubuntu__ | what is kubuntu default root pasword | 20:49 |
| Codd | ubuntu_. no one knows :) you have to change it using 'sudo passwd root' | 20:49 |
| ubuntu__ | lol | 20:49 |
| ubuntu__ | ok | 20:49 |
| Codd | ubuntu_ im pretty sure its randomly generated on the first install | 20:50 |
| mefisto__ | !root | 20:51 |
| 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 | 20:51 |

| MaPkO | is there anyone witch can help me with this kubuntu to i can connect it on the internet via wireless? | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis | If the wireless chipset makers - supported linux fully.. there would be less probpelsm | 21:43 |
| Dr_willis | it all depends on your exact wireless chipset to a very very large degree | 21:43 |

| Dr_willis | i dont recall ever not being able to ping my router. | 21:45 |

| michael__ | going to restart, maybe I will have the option to upgrade drivers that way | 21:45 |
| michael__ | there are no reference to video drivers anywhere in system settings | 21:46 |
| Dr_willis | check with the wireless tools to see if you do infact have a ip address for the network card, i guess.. | 21:46 |

| bishopz | im having such a blonde moment | 23:14 |
| mefisto__ | would ufw disable do it? | 23:15 |
| bishopz | and for some reason i cant connect to gaim | 23:16 |
| Dr_willis | !ufw | 23:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw | 23:16 |
| bishopz | through putty | 23:16 |
| bishopz | im connected to my shell | 23:16 |
| bishopz | but | 23:16 |
| bishopz | Nothing is working in konsole | 23:16 |
| Dr_willis | Huh? | 23:17 |
| bishopz | im trying to get on gaim, using my ssh connection via putty | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | from a windows machine? | 23:17 |
| bishopz | yea | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | Gaim is X based program? right? | 23:17 |
| bishopz | Correct | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | You do have some sort of X display server running on the windows box? | 23:18 |
| bishopz | MhM | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | Or are you expecting it to magically appare on the windows machine? | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 23:18 |
| bishopz | rofl | 23:18 |
| bishopz | Im not THAT new | 23:18 |
| bishopz | it just wont connect | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | I use xming and putty all the time. You DO have to tell putty to enable x forwarding,. | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | or you mean GAIM isent connecting? | 23:18 |
| bishopz | Hmm could be i didnt enable | 23:18 |
| bishopz | im connecting to my shell fine | 23:19 |
| Dr_willis | Putty can be a pain to get the settings saved/set right | 23:19 |
| bishopz | but it wont connect to gaim | 23:19 |
| === john is now known as groovy26 | ||
| bishopz | ior irssi | 23:19 |
| bishopz | or* | 23:19 |
| Dr_willis | You mean gaim cant 'connect' to the xming server? or you mean irssi cant connect to the irc server? | 23:19 |
| Dr_willis | 'connect' is a broad term | 23:19 |
| groovy26 | hey, how to save screen resolution and refresh rate with aticonfig? | 23:19 |
| bishopz | gaim wont connet to the xming | 23:20 |
| Dr_willis | try a simple 'xterm' command and see if it works | 23:20 |
| bishopz | Hang on | 23:20 |
| bishopz | hm, well ill be damned | 23:20 |
| bishopz | Tyvm sir | 23:20 |
| Dr_willis | hmm? | 23:21 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 23:21 |
| bishopz | connected | 23:21 |
| Dr_willis | xming has some wizard/tool to connect/run a single app also. i often just make it run konsole, or xterm. and do away with needing Putty | 23:21 |
| bishopz | smart, im starting not to like putty at all | 23:21 |
| Dr_willis | xming is using putty :) but its own. | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | or it can at least. | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | Ive only recently messed with using putty AND xming by their selfs. :) | 23:22 |
| bishopz | i need a good ftp for a linux ubuntu machine | 23:22 |
| bishopz | gftp? | 23:22 |
| bishopz | any good? | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | !ftp | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | theres dozens of ftp clients, and tools that can do ftp access | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | the default file managers most all can handle ftp | 23:23 |
| ubottu | FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd | 23:23 |
| bishopz | yea i know, everyone says oh gtfp, or konquror | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | So? | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | mc can do ftp also. :) | 23:24 |
| bishopz | really? | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | or use the fuse 'ftp filesywstem' stuff | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | yes.. mc can do ftp.. and other stuff | 23:24 |
| bishopz | o | 23:24 |
| bishopz | Im gonna check that out | 23:24 |
| giarca | what advantage I would have using an irc client liek quassel instead of Konversation? I'm using kde4.2 and konversation still using 3.5.10 libs... | 23:25 |
| bishopz | konsole its better then terminal | 23:25 |
| bishopz | correct? | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on what you mean | 23:25 |
| bishopz | im trying to delete shit i dont really nered anymore | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | 'konsole' is the kde specific 'terminal application' | 23:25 |
| bishopz | yea | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | Console is the alt-ctrl-F1 terminals | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | xterm and rxvt are the old-skool standard terminal-emulators | 23:26 |
| will_ | Hello everyone. | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | I normally use 'terminator' | 23:26 |
| bishopz | neverheard of it | 23:26 |
| bishopz | :O | 23:26 |
| XPS_M1330 | why does the kubuntu website says it uses KDE 4.2? My update manager says there aren't updates from 4.1 | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | it uses gnome-terminal to have some neat features. You can 'split' the terminals on the fly and thus have several in one window | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | Kubuntu web site says 4.2 version of kde has been released... | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | it dosent say the default kubuntu comes with 4.2 | 23:27 |
| bishopz | id prob. use that more than anything | 23:27 |
| XPS_M1330 | oh... | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | and you CAN ionstall 4.2 - see the topic urls | 23:27 |
| will_ | Is there a graphical issue with KDE4 resetting back to login screen after resolution change? | 23:34 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like X may be crashing. | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | try it with a different window manager such as openbox and see if it still happens.. if so that would imply a X server/driver issue not a KDE issue | 23:37 |
| will_ | How would i go about switching? | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install openbox | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | then restart KDM, and select openbox at the kdm login menus | 23:38 |
| will_ | Would i lose my GUI for KDE4? | 23:39 |
| will_ | Or does it just replace the engine for it? | 23:39 |
| Dr_willis | neither | 23:39 |
| Dr_willis | you would login to openbox OR kde4 depending on which one you select in the menus | 23:39 |
| will_ | So now i log out and choose openbox, correct? | 23:40 |
| Dr_willis | restareing the KDM service may or may not be neeeded also | 23:41 |
| will_ | Hmm, ok, be back in a second then. | 23:41 |
| === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 | ||
| will_ | Thank's man, that fixed my problem. | 23:47 |
| will_ | I don't have transparency anymore though, haha. | 23:47 |
| Dr_willis | so the games/stuff resize the screen and crashes out to KDM in KDE, but not openbox? | 23:48 |
| will_ | Yeah. | 23:48 |
| will_ | Well, i switched to KDE/Openbox. | 23:48 |
| will_ | It was one of the selection's so i tried it. | 23:48 |
| will_ | My transparency is gone, so i'm thinking that may be what was causing it to crash. | 23:48 |
| will_ | Any idea what it could possibly be? | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | Openbox is one of the few windiowmanagers that set up itself to run with kde. :) id frogotten that | 23:49 |
| Dr_willis | kde has its own effects stuff.. that may be messing thing sup | 23:49 |
| will_ | Would it help if i upgraded to KDE 4.2? | 23:54 |
| Dr_willis | No idea. try it and see i guess | 23:58 |
| aldo | hi | 23:59 |
