| sixofour | DasEI: it worked | 00:05 |
| sixofour | ./ on 8gb and /home/ on 160gb | 00:05 |
| sixofour | 2gb swap on 160 | 00:05 |
| DasEI | !yay | sixofour | 00:06 |
| ubottu | sixofour: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:06 |
| sixofour | now, is there a diagnostic tool or something that can tell me that in general everything is ok? | 00:06 |
| DasEI | sixofour: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:07 |
| sixofour | what do those do and why are we using sudo? | 00:07 |
| DasEI | sixofour: if this gives no errrors, paketmangement is right and sys up to date | 00:07 |
| sixofour | from what i understand, sudo is never used..lol | 00:07 |
| DasEI | !sudo | 00:07 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 00:07 |
| sixofour | i know what sudo is | 00:07 |
| sixofour | but usiong it is what caused all the problems in the first place | 00:08 |
| coreyman | where is netbeans stored so i can select it as default filezilla editor? | 00:08 |
| DasEI | to install or updating soft root-privilegs are required | 00:08 |
| sixofour | but kdesudo firefox is not? | 00:09 |
| DasEI | ff is run as reglar user | 00:09 |
| giarca | any kde4 audio cd to mp3 application? I cant' find nothing... O_o | 00:09 |
| sixofour | amarok? | 00:10 |
| sixofour | !amarok | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok | 00:10 |
| DasEI | sudo is for protecting system files, for a checking util might install rkhunter, sixofour | 00:10 |
| giarca | sixofour: are you sure? I find no option for that... I recheck! | 00:10 |
| sixofour | what were those upgrade commands again? | 00:10 |
| Slonkie | if i were to change my wifi card in the laptop, would i have to reinstall kubuntu? | 00:11 |
| DasEI | sixofour: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:11 |
| sixofour | you want to rip a cd into mp3s | 00:11 |
| sixofour | i think amarok can do it | 00:11 |
| giarca | sixofour: ok, I'm checking (find mp3 --> cd but not reverse) | 00:12 |
| DasEI | giarca: I use soundjuicer or k3b for that | 00:12 |
| sixofour | why not ask in #amarok? | 00:12 |
| giarca | ok sound-juicer I know | 00:12 |
| DasEI | !k3b | 00:12 |
| ubottu | k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto | 00:12 |
| DasEI | ^ make isos, also | 00:12 |
| giarca | k3b is the way | 00:13 |

| Wazmyn | How can I search for a file? | 00:15 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: on the hd ? | 00:16 |
| === R3DB0x is now known as boboso | ||
| Wazmyn | DasEI: yes. I DL'd a file with Firefox and I don't know where it put the thing | 00:16 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: sudo updatedb && locate <filename> | 00:16 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: or check man find | 00:17 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: you can check inn ff where d/l's go to | 00:17 |
| boboso | where would i find my new hd that i just installed? | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | most likely its where you ran firfox from.. or the Desktop or your home dir | 00:17 |
| DasEI | boboso: sudo fdisk -l | 00:17 |
| DasEI | boboso: then mount it somewhere and put an entry in fstab | 00:18 |
| Wazmyn | DasEI: well, I started to download something new and then went to the folder that came up, but didn't find it | 00:18 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: you can check inn ff where d/l's go to | 00:19 |
| Wazmyn | DasEI: does locate take wild cards? | 00:19 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: yep, like anyfilewith* | 00:19 |
| Wazmyn | DasEI: hum, That didn't return anything | 00:19 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: name of the file ? | 00:20 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: ff > extras > downloads | 00:20 |
| Wazmyn | DasEI: it's long, it's the install EXE for Openoffice | 00:21 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn: ff > preferences > d/l - folder | 00:21 |
| Wazmyn | ok, DasEI, If i tell FF to "open containing folder" It asks me to tell it what app to open in, but instead of KMenu I get the standard GTK file dialog | 00:23 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn:exe ? | 00:25 |
| Wazmyn | Yes, I'm trying to put it on this windows laptop sitting beside me | 00:25 |
| Wazmyn | but to hell with it, i'm downloading it again and making sure I don't hit enter too fast this time | 00:25 |
| Wazmyn | I despise firefox. I cannot wait for Opera to get their 64 bit issues taken care of. | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | click on the download link.. and it will show where it downloaded to..:) | 00:26 |
| Wazmyn | Dr_willis: how's that? | 00:26 |
| boboso | DasEI: do i format and partition before i mount? | 00:26 |
| DasEI | boboso: yes, if still no fs on it | 00:27 |
| boboso | DasEI: nothing i just bought it | 00:27 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn:sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | 00:28 |
| DasEI | !gparted | boboso | 00:28 |
| ubottu | boboso: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 00:28 |
| Wazmyn | DasEI: yeah, except the destionation computer is running winders and does not have internet | 00:28 |
| DasEI | Wazmyn:erm.. linux-cmds on a win machine won't work | 00:29 |

| DasEI | boboso: make sure to partition the RIGHT drive | 00:30 |
| boboso | DasEI: ty i will try to keep that in mind | 00:31 |
| boboso | DasEI: what FS should i make it? | 00:31 |
| DasEI | boboso: gparted often like to be restarted after first partitioning it, before you can format | 00:31 |

| will_ | Does anyone know what causes KDE4 to crash back to KDM upon resolution change? Could it be OpenGL used as the compositing type? | 00:50 |
| * Wazmyn hopes the guy that runs his ISP is in pain somewhere | 00:57 | |
| tanjir | Wazmyn: the ISP guys will be in pain if they continue disconnecting you :P | 00:59 |
| draik_ | will_: I'm on KDE4.2 and my desktop keeps crashing with the nVidia drivers. I think it might be more than OpenGL. This laptop is running with eye candy and no particular video drivers. | 00:59 |
| Wazmyn | tanjir: the problem is major packet loss, that causes the router to drop off. It's anoying as hell | 01:00 |
| will_ | Well. | 01:02 |
| will_ | I have found out how to keep it from crashing. | 01:02 |
| will_ | One sec ad i'll tell you what to disable to test your's out. | 01:02 |
| sixofour | is there any program like paintshop or photoshop on linux? ..that isn't GIMP | 01:02 |
| kurumin | oi | 01:03 |
| will_ | System setting's > Desktop > Uncheck Enable desktop effect's. | 01:03 |
| kurumin | hello | 01:04 |
| will_ | It should keep yoru KDE4 from crashing on resolution changes and DRI changes. | 01:04 |
| will_ | Hello. | 01:04 |
| draik_ | will_: The desktop crashes, not the laptop | 01:07 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: maybe http://www.koffice.org/krita/ | 01:07 |
| will_ | Yes. | 01:08 |
| will_ | I know what you mean. | 01:08 |
| will_ | It kick's you back to the login screen right? | 01:08 |
| draik_ | Nope | 01:08 |
| will_ | Oh, well then yoru on yoru own on that one. | 01:08 |
| draik_ | The desktop freezes; launching Firefox, Thunderbird, Amarok, System Settings... just about any app | 01:08 |
| will_ | I can't believe Nvidia driver's are unstable to a point like that. | 01:09 |
| will_ | I'm running a crummy Intel 945GMA and i don't get anything that bad. | 01:09 |
| draik_ | Desktop is 3.2GHz p4 with 3GB of RAM | 01:10 |
| sixofour | Slartibartfast: maby? | 01:11 |
| draik_ | nVidia GeForce FX 5700LE, 256MB | 01:11 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: try it out, i am not sure how it compares to your experience with paintshop and photoshop | 01:11 |
| draik_ | I used the following drivers: 96, 173 and 180 all failed. | 01:11 |
| sixofour | try what? | 01:12 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: krita | 01:12 |
| sixofour | krita | 01:12 |
| sixofour | ok | 01:12 |
| Slartibartfast | !krita | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about krita | 01:12 |
| draik_ | 173, through EnvyNG however, seemed to have fixed my issues as I was flying and everything was peachy. A few minutes later and I got a black screen and a frozen computer. Screen came back after a few seconds, but it was all still frozen. | 01:13 |
| Slartibartfast | Description: a pixel-based image manipulation program for the KDE Office Suite | 01:13 |
| sixofour | pixel based? | 01:13 |
| Slartibartfast | yeah :-) ... maipulate pixel by pixel :-) | 01:13 |
| Dr_willis | Vs. 'vector' based | 01:14 |
| Slartibartfast | manipulate | 01:14 |
| sixofour | er | 01:14 |
| Dr_willis | bitmapped :) | 01:14 |
| sixofour | what is paintshop? | 01:14 |
| sixofour | i don't use vector | 01:14 |
| Slartibartfast | not vextor based ... illustrater is vector based i think | 01:14 |
| sixofour | it all depends what features krita has | 01:14 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: try it out and see what it can do for you | 01:15 |
| Slartibartfast | i myself like gimp | 01:15 |
| sixofour | i hear gimp is horrible lol | 01:15 |
| sixofour | and i tried it once long ago and didn't like uit | 01:16 |
| sixofour | couldn't even figure out how to "draw" | 01:16 |
| Slartibartfast | since long ago and now there has been done a lot of development | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | !gimp | 01:17 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | gimp isent about 'drawing' | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | its about manipulation | 01:17 |
| sixofour | i need "drawing" | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | The look for a drawing program. | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | I guess. :) | 01:17 |
| sixofour | start with a white page with layers, and form an image | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | depends on what you are drawing | 01:18 |
| sixofour | 2d stuff | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | wow.. 2d stuff... thats specific :) | 01:18 |
| sixofour | lol | 01:18 |
| sixofour | ever watched flapjack ? | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | go to the store.. get some paper.. and some pens.. and a scanner... | 01:18 |
| Slartibartfast | :-) | 01:18 |
| sixofour | oh i can't draw in real life worth a crap | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | There are animation type programs that focus on doing drawings like the old 'cell animation' way.. then there are other tools.. :) | 01:19 |
| sixofour | i'm drawing cartoon looking stuff | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | theres that one .net/mono paint program out also. | 01:19 |
| draik_ | sixofour: Don't feel too bad, I can't draw a straight line | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | !find mtpaint | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Found: mtpaint | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | !info mtpaint | 01:19 |
| ubottu | mtpaint (source: mtpaint): painting program to create pixel art and manipulate digital photos. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.21-1 (intrepid), package size 503 kB, installed size 1428 kB | 01:19 |
| sixofour | lol | 01:19 |
| sixofour | even though its just drawing, its a bit more advanced than any ##paint program that i need | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | all i draw are icons | 01:20 |
| sixofour | i'm probably gonna use paintshop with wine | 01:20 |
| draik_ | I can't draw conclusions sometimes :( | 01:20 |

| newbie2573 | hey, i have a question: i'm upgrading from kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and the download is really slow. (30 kB/s) is there anything i can do to speed it up? | 01:21 |
| sixofour | lol | 01:21 |
| sixofour | torrent? | 01:21 |
| sixofour | use the ftp | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | try some other mirrors i guess.. but i forget how to find the faster mirrors | 01:22 |
| newbie2573 | i can't find my cds so i'm upgrading via the net | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | the upgrade would be using the ftp servers. | 01:22 |
| newbie2573 | otherwise i woiuld DL the torrent | 01:22 |
| newbie2573 | i'm already 40% done, there's probably not much point in starting all over now is there | 01:23 |
| newbie2573 | thanks anyways | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | I think theres some slowness now because a new update/relese of the next ubuntu came out.. so a lot of people are gettting it from the servers | 01:23 |
| newbie2573 | that makes sense | 01:23 |
| newbie2573 | also, i used gnome before and i'm trying kde for the first time, do you think someone like me will like 8.10 a lot more than 8.0.4? | 01:24 |
| newbie2573 | 8.4* (?) | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | gnome hasent changed a lot.. | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | kde 3 to kde4 is a HUGE change | 01:24 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 01:24 |
| newbie2573 | yeah, ive seen the screenshots | 01:25 |
| newbie2573 | it looks almost like windows | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | 'every thing looks like wiondows' | 01:25 |
| newbie2573 | i'm more of a mac guy but so far i hade kde3 and i wasn't too big on gnome | 01:25 |
| sixofour | mac | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | it has a panel and a start button.. golly.. it looks like windows... | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:25 |
| newbie2573 | lol | 01:25 |
| newbie2573 | well | 01:25 |
| sixofour | mac has a panel | 01:25 |
| sixofour | on the top | 01:25 |
| sixofour | right? | 01:25 |
| newbie2573 | it has the sidebar in the file browser | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | like gnome | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | except the menu for each program is at the top | 01:26 |
| sixofour | last time i used mac, it wasd called macintosh and the monitor and keybord were connected | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | heh | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | wow | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | I got a Imac - it makes a good doorstop | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | that's a long time ago | 01:26 |
| sixofour | and it had a 5 inch drive | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | I got a macSE also. :) | 01:26 |
| sixofour | theo big folppies | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | i have an imac g5, i want to install kubuntu on it because this computer has a really bad video card | 01:26 |
| MacProKubuntu64 | Mac Pro here :D | 01:26 |
| newbie2573 | nice | 01:27 |
| sixofour | you want linux because the video card is bad? | 01:27 |
| newbie2573 | no.. | 01:27 |
| newbie2573 | i want to put it on the other computer so i don't have to use this one | 01:27 |
| draik_ | Yeah, I got thrown off by that comment, too. | 01:27 |
| newbie2573 | but i'm scared to do that. | 01:27 |
| sixofour | just do sudo rm -R / on your mac | 01:28 |
| newbie2573 | i don't have any way to back up that computer and i really like the way it's set up right now | 01:28 |
| MacProKubuntu64 | Install was fine besides not being able to read anything due to extremly small text. Had to set to 75dpi after straining my eyes Lol | 01:28 |
| newbie2573 | lol | 01:28 |
| newbie2573 | i'm not that much of a noob ;) | 01:28 |
| newbie2573 | i know what that does. | 01:28 |
| sixofour | they shoudl; make commands like that give you a y/n prompt | 01:28 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 01:28 |
| newbie2573 | i agree | 01:28 |
| MacProKubuntu64 | I would say OpenSolaris play much better "out of the box" for Mac | 01:28 |
| sixofour | or if you hit ctrl alt backspace kde restarts..no wanring, or anything | 01:29 |
| newbie2573 | how is it for a linux newbie though? | 01:29 |
| sixofour | i'm a newbie | 01:29 |
| MacProKubuntu64 | OpenSolaris is great I just do not like Gnome | 01:29 |
| newbie2573 | so most of you used kde before 4.0 came out? | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | yes.. | 01:29 |
| newbie2573 | heh | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | and when kde4 came out.. i switched to gnome... :() | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | go figure | 01:30 |
| newbie2573 | lol | 01:30 |
| sixofour | how do i find the filepath i am currently in? | 01:30 |
| MacProKubuntu64 | I have used KDE since mandrake 6 i think | 01:30 |
| newbie2573 | why? | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | sixofour, 'pwd' command | 01:30 |
| sixofour | kde4 was garbage when it was new | 01:30 |
| sixofour | pwd? | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 does not play nicely on my netbook | 01:30 |
| newbie2573 | Dr_willis, what about the upgrade made you switch?> | 01:30 |
| newbie2573 | ah | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 also dident really offer any features i needed over kde3... | 01:31 |
| draik_ | Speaking of noobs to the 'rm' command, I found out who the real geeks were from the 'snobby rich' people when they released the Google phone. People were told to use 'rm /*' to fix a bug on the phone. Geeks laughed at it, idiot savants ran it without thinking and then geeks laughed harder. | 01:31 |
| sixofour | liol | 01:31 |
| sixofour | kubuntu needs more idiot proofing | 01:31 |
| draik_ | I don't know about that | 01:32 |
| sixofour | ive botched it 5 times already | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | No.. we need to educate idiots... | 01:32 |
| newbie2573 | draik_: lol. | 01:32 |
| sixofour | learning linux for 3 years is not "educate idiots" | 01:32 |
| sixofour | its a waste | 01:32 |
| draik_ | You need 'su' to do it all and even then ... never mind, they'll figure that part out. I hope sooner than later | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | your failure to learn is not a failure of the OS. | 01:32 |
| sixofour | not everyone cares or wants to elarn all that stuff, they just want a free OS | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | and the people making the OS want a tool they can use. | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | this 'focus' on the desktop is actually 'secondary' to the main goal. | 01:33 |
| sixofour | it is for other distros | 01:33 |
| sixofour | kubutnu is about making ti easy for nublets | 01:33 |
| newbie2573 | i was thinking | 01:33 |
| draik_ | My friend's 8-year old daughter really surprised him when she told him about how her Windows XP can't play a DVD due to missing encoders and that she needs to buy them. | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | peoplle want free stuff. then they companin and rant and rave and get mad at it.. but tjhey will pay $300+ for windows.. and not even whimper.. oh well... | 01:34 |
| sixofour | "a tool you can use" doesn't help FOSS or anyone out | 01:34 |
| newbie2573 | it would be great if *buntu had a really good ui of its own | 01:34 |
| draik_ | Maybe this summer I will be teaching her to use Kubuntu | 01:34 |
| newbie2573 | something completely new | 01:34 |
| newbie2573 | you know? | 01:34 |
| sixofour | people pay for windows because they think its the only option | 01:34 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 01:34 |
| draik_ | That's just sad | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | The more you lower the bar for 'idiot proofing' the more stupid people tend to act it seems.. | 01:34 |
| sixofour | linux has 0 advertisment | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | Ive seen linux comercials.. | 01:34 |
| sixofour | this is why there are distros | 01:34 |
| newbie2573 | dr_willis: on tv? in papers? | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | IBM i think ran them a while back. | 01:35 |
| sixofour | leet people can use fedora or something, and nubs can use buntu :D | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | on TV.. | 01:35 |
| newbie2573 | ah | 01:35 |
| newbie2573 | really? | 01:35 |
| newbie2573 | must have been before my time | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | i forget when.. it was some time ago. | 01:35 |
| sixofour | this is why i use buntu, i want to install it and mostly forget about it | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | IBM or INTEL.. or one of the big companies | 01:35 |
| sixofour | not spend years trying to figure out the delete command from the gigvolumes of documents | 01:35 |
| draik_ | Dr_willis: I think you're right. I'm trying to recall seeing a Linux commercial | 01:35 |
| Slartibartfast | http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=linux+IBM&aq=f | 01:36 |
| sixofour | only linux comercial i seen was a youtube video | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | draik_, i was thinking one even ran during the superbowl | 01:36 |
| newbie2573 | if i won the lottery, i would pay for a linux ad during the superbowl | 01:36 |
| newbie2573 | :) | 01:36 |
| sixofour | linux won't be widely sued untill you can pop it in and hit next | 01:36 |
| sixofour | used* | 01:36 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 01:37 |
| newbie2573 | hopefully they're never widely sued | 01:37 |
| newbie2573 | lol | 01:37 |
| vale | hi | 01:37 |
| sixofour | used* :P | 01:37 |
| draik_ | I think that if all Linux users put together $1 we can make quite a few commercials spoofing that of the Mac vs PC | 01:37 |
| Slartibartfast | i think this one is nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwEWxpOWOok | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cldeHjFig_c | 01:37 |
| sixofour | draik_: that would give us about a thousand dollars | 01:37 |
| newbie2573 | I can see it now | 01:38 |
| draik_ | There's more than one thousand Linux users | 01:38 |
| newbie2573 | Hi, I'm a Mac. Hi, I'm a PC. | 01:38 |
| newbie2573 | Hi, I'm Linux. | 01:38 |
| newbie2573 | (guy dressed in 2nd hand clothes) | 01:38 |
| newbie2573 | i get everything for free! | 01:38 |
| newbie2573 | ;/ | 01:38 |
| newbie2573 | i think it would be hard to advertise | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BesI6NEPWlM superbown commerial | 01:39 |
| newbie2573 | most people are brainwashed into thinking they have to pay for an OS | 01:39 |
| sixofour | IBM supports linux only in the place if it can get a way to control it | 01:39 |
| sixofour | bitorrent, you don't have to pay for anything | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | debateable statement. | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | if IBM made cars.. linux wouldbe the 'road' :) | 01:40 |
| jetahot | lol | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | that way ibm can focus on cars... and not worry about the road. | 01:40 |
| jetahot | truth indeed | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | 'Linux makes the OS into a commadity' like roadways, and elctricity, and water.. | 01:40 |
| sixofour | untill DRM technology is produced | 01:40 |
| sixofour | by ibm | 01:40 |
| sixofour | then control of the software won't matter | 01:41 |
| Dr_willis | DRM is a small part of the computer world. | 01:41 |
| Dr_willis | its just what all the warezers worry about. :P | 01:41 |
| sixofour | DRM is the future of electronic technology unfortinatly | 01:41 |
| draik_ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JqtMgiUaf4 | 01:41 |
| sixofour | if it wasn't for wazrers mentality, linux wouldn't be here :P | 01:42 |
| sixofour | getting somethign free and open | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | Nope.. incorrect. | 01:43 |
| Slartibartfast | free software is not about "not paying for it" ... you all know that right? | 01:43 |
| Dr_willis | people like to 'share' and show off their work.. | 01:43 |
| sixofour | and people shouldn't be able to sell so called intellectual property | 01:44 |
| kuaera | Slartibartfast: I know what FOSS is about, and that's why I'm here. | 01:44 |
| sixofour | and it certainly shouldn't be a crime to copy it | 01:44 |
| kuaera | People can participate in the improvement of the software they use | 01:44 |
| Slartibartfast | kuaera: right :-) | 01:44 |
| kuaera | It's pretty much democratic principles applied to software, in the pure sense. | 01:45 |
| sixofour | kuaera: most people don't give a crap about that idea | 01:45 |
| kuaera | sixofour: A lot of people give a crap about that idea. | 01:45 |
| sixofour | ive no intention of improving software | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | if i make somthing.. i should be able to do what i want with it.. give it away. or sell it.. or license it in such a way that i feel it does the most public good. | 01:45 |
| sixofour | i'm using it because its gratis | 01:45 |
| darlykaiser | hello | 01:45 |
| Dr_willis | Im using it because it works better. | 01:45 |
| sixofour | yep will and if you give it to someone else, they should be able to do the same | 01:46 |
| kuaera | I'm using it because it works better and because I can learn from it. | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | 'give' is the definitive word here.. I can GIVE it or i can license it under whatever i feel like. | 01:46 |
| sixofour | if i sell something, i loose the rights to that thing | 01:46 |
| kuaera | It's a new desktop environment, still maintaining its server roots. People like you, sixofour, are going to hop on the bandwagon and criticise it because it's not what you want it to be. | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on how you sell it. :) | 01:47 |
| sixofour | they can do what ever they want, make a million copies and sell them if they chose | 01:47 |
| sixofour | who crtiizising? | 01:47 |
| Dr_willis | Ubuntu Comercial --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJTp6KE3KtA&feature=related | 01:47 |
| sixofour | they should put a poll in tjhe installer of the next ubuntu version, do people care about the idea of open software or do they use it because its free? | 01:49 |
| sixofour | i bet the latter would win | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | half of the stuff i do at work helpomng people with linux - is educating them about the 'freedom' aspect.. not the 'free' cost aspect. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | Linux will be around for a LONG time because of the freedom , not because its 'cost free' | 01:51 |
| newbie2573 | the only reason i use ubuntu is because i can learn from it | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | learning is good. :) | 01:51 |
| sixofour | linux will be around for a little while because there is no way for MS to stop people from using it | 01:51 |
| newbie2573 | yeah. ;) | 01:51 |
| newbie2573 | i want to go into comp sci some day | 01:51 |
| sixofour | yet | 01:51 |
| Slartibartfast | Indeed it is all about sharing the knowledge | 01:51 |
| Dr_willis | Im GLAD i did NOT go into CompSci :) | 01:52 |
| Slartibartfast | same as science | 01:52 |
| newbie2573 | really? why? | 01:52 |
| sixofour | Slartibartfast: that's what they don't want, shareing knowldge | 01:52 |
| Slartibartfast | who are they ? | 01:52 |
| newbie2573 | well, not comp sci, but something computer related | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | its gone from a 'big deal job' to a 'lets outsource it to some 3rd world country work' from the CS majors i know who work at barious busindeese. | 01:52 |
| sixofour | microsoft and other companies pushing this DRM hardware stuff | 01:52 |
| newbie2573 | yeah, so ive heard | 01:53 |
| newbie2573 | DRM is the devil | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | there will always be a job in VCR repair! | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:53 |
| newbie2573 | well not really | 01:53 |
| newbie2573 | no one uses them anymore :P | 01:53 |
| sixofour | blueray lol horrible | 01:53 |
| newbie2573 | the way i see it | 01:53 |
| newbie2573 | the digital world should work the same as the real world | 01:53 |
| sixofour | look at consoles, and you see the future of computers | 01:54 |
| newbie2573 | there's no such thing as real world drm | 01:54 |
| sixofour | closed boxes with limtied input | 01:54 |
| newbie2573 | oh god | 01:54 |
| newbie2573 | you think so | 01:54 |
| newbie2573 | ? | 01:54 |
| newbie2573 | i hope not | 01:54 |
| Slartibartfast | Well you can choose with your wallet not to use it ... for me Divx is good enough . | 01:54 |
| Dr_willis | ive yet to see any copy protection that worked for very long. | 01:54 |
| sixofour | all code will be gotten from an "apt-geT" like system, only it will be owned by one single company | 01:54 |
| newbie2573 | i see what you're saying though | 01:55 |
| * Slartibartfast starting up rtorrent again :-) | 01:55 | |
| newbie2573 | the console companies are trying to make people see them as a universal entertainment device | 01:55 |
| sixofour | dr_wills that is msotly because breaking DRM is not a crime yet | 01:55 |
| newbie2573 | not just as a video game system | 01:55 |
| sixofour | you can't go to jail for tampering with hardware and software | 01:55 |
| sixofour | newbie2573: with consoles, the comapny also has complete and utter control over what your allowed to see | 01:56 |
| newbie2573 | true | 01:56 |
| sixofour | unless you mod it | 01:56 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 01:56 |
| newbie2573 | and then you can't use a lot of the features like online stuff | 01:56 |
| sixofour | but , for instance, sotres in my city don't sell PSP batteries because they could be used to mod your opsp | 01:56 |
| newbie2573 | because they ban your console | 01:56 |
| sixofour | stores* | 01:56 |
| newbie2573 | heh | 01:56 |
| sixofour | friend went to get a psp battery and they told him that, it was an ebgames | 01:56 |
| newbie2573 | .. | 01:57 |
| sixofour | they no longer sell them because of piracy lol | 01:57 |
| newbie2573 | wow | 01:57 |
| newbie2573 | heh | 01:57 |
| yemcrx | ok, well fresh install of kubutu 64bit and I can't find firefox in the repos, any ideas | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | ive learned to not trust EBgames very much.. | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | then again..i gave my PSP to my brother.. who went and got it modded. :P | 01:57 |
| sixofour | but anyways, if free software is to survive they need software that is gratis and compeltely noob friendly | 01:58 |
| Slartibartfast | yemcrx: where did you search ? | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | noob friendly has nothing to do with it. | 01:58 |
| yemcrx | adept | 01:58 |
| sixofour | yes it does | 01:58 |
| sixofour | no one wants complex software | 01:58 |
| sixofour | joe average is stupid remember? | 01:58 |
| Slartibartfast | Maybe just open a console and do sudo apt-get install firefox | 01:58 |
| yemcrx | is there not a version of ff for 64bit | 01:58 |
| newbie2573 | i think that right now, people see linux as a free, half broken, only used by geeks, alternative to paid OSes | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | no it dosetn.. it has to do what the person MAKING the sofware wants.. if the noobs dont like it.. they are not supporting it anyway. | 01:58 |
| yemcrx | hmm I'll try | 01:58 |
| Slartibartfast | there is | 01:58 |
| newbie2573 | that needs to change first | 01:58 |
| newbie2573 | like, | 01:58 |
| sixofour | will noobs are 95% of the users | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | and they are niot doing any actual work to 'support' the software. | 01:59 |
| newbie2573 | like it needs to be a lot easier to configure stuff | 01:59 |
| MartinW|Laptop | What is the command for joining the QuakeNet? | 01:59 |
| newbie2573 | Dr_willis: how does one support the software? | 01:59 |
| newbie2573 | donations? | 01:59 |
| sixofour | wills being sued is the best support | 01:59 |
| sixofour | used* | 01:59 |
| sixofour | who cares abotu software no one uses? | 01:59 |
| newbie2573 | like if you don't have any coding skills | 01:59 |
| yemcrx | well its there with the console commands, kinda wierd | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | bug reports, donations, supporting other related things.. helping in irc.. | 01:59 |
| sixofour | look at freeBSD | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | wiki pages... | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | I dont do much coding.. but i do a lot of wiki page editing. | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | and i do TONS of IRC support | 02:00 |
| Dr_willis | and real life linux support for friends | 02:00 |
| sixofour | what does it matter if only 15 people use that OS you support? | 02:00 |
| yemcrx | I have converted at least 10 friends myself to linux | 02:00 |
| newbie2573 | well | 02:00 |
| Slartibartfast | yemcrx: Yeah , so i could not find a lot of software which i just could in stall with apt-get | 02:00 |
| newbie2573 | if you help them use it theyre more likely to use it | 02:00 |
| Dr_willis | sixofour, what does it matter if 300000000000 use it. | 02:00 |
| sixofour | linux needs legions of stupid users so that companies like mcirosft cannot so easyly destroy it | 02:00 |
| newbie2573 | and more likely to tell other people to use it. | 02:00 |
| newbie2573 | lol yeah | 02:00 |
| sixofour | mcirosfy can buy a law making open software illegal lol | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | if i make 'Bubbaedit' - i make it for my needs.. not yours.. if it suites you.. fine if not.. change it.. or find somthing else. | 02:01 |
| sixofour | the government can make it mandatory to use a certain OS | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | i can Licsnes it under th GPL so others can gain the most from my work. | 02:01 |
| newbie2573 | the thing is | 02:01 |
| sixofour | you think it, they can do it | 02:01 |
| yemcrx | I saw some windows ads on the tele last night and though man if there were only some linux ads I htink many more people would try and/or use it | 02:01 |
| newbie2573 | linux is mostly made by people who's day job isn't to support it | 02:01 |
| newbie2573 | people who work for ms and apple are piad | 02:01 |
| newbie2573 | paid* | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | government can make it mandatory that you run around naked on every thursday..but i dobut if thats going to happen either. | 02:02 |
| sixofour | the point is, big companeis could eventually make GPL illegal | 02:02 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | the Gov could make GPL a requirement also. | 02:02 |
| newbie2573 | most people would be too uninformed to see the consequences | 02:02 |
| Slartibartfast | newbie2573: But next to the people who make Linux software there are also a lot of people who support it | 02:02 |
| sixofour | "gpl has becasme illegal this mornign due to terrorist using this to distributed malicious programs used to attack our nation" | 02:02 |
| newbie2573 | true | 02:02 |
| sixofour | "so from now on X system will be used to monitor all code beign sent through X cable comapnies" | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | In fact i recall that most software (all?) made by the Govenment is Public domain... I forget what i used in college but it was from a Gov. project. | 02:03 |
| sixofour | or X ISPs | 02:03 |
| sixofour | wills | 02:03 |
| sixofour | government is also in major debt, and big companies have major money | 02:03 |
| sixofour | if haliburton can make ameirca fight iraq, i am sure microsoft can make them drop gpl | 02:04 |
| newbie2573 | the government and military of the us used windows | 02:04 |
| newbie2573 | uses* | 02:04 |
| sixofour | they sued vista then dropped it lol | 02:04 |
| sixofour | used* | 02:04 |
| Dr_willis | they also use oither OS's depending on the needs of the system | 02:04 |
| newbie2573 | heh | 02:04 |
| Slartibartfast | they even use linux | 02:04 |
| sixofour | anyways, it all sounds far fetched, but you never know what a big comapny with money can do | 02:04 |
| Dr_willis | work timne for me. bye all | 02:04 |
| Dr_willis | 'its people! Linux OS is People!' | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 02:05 |
| sixofour | microsoft can put out an ad that using linux entails installing a rootkit on your pc | 02:05 |
| kuaera | No, it can't. | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | then sony comes out and actually DOES it on windows... | 02:05 |
| sixofour | nubs won't know the difference and believe it | 02:05 |
| kuaera | No, they cannot put false information in a commercial. | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | so we are back to educating the public.. | 02:05 |
| sixofour | linux reputation permanatly ruined | 02:05 |
| newbie2573 | I think the thing that would help the most | 02:06 |
| sixofour | LOL | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | by far | 02:06 |
| Dr_willis | there is no perment ruin - or MS and APPLE would both be gone. | 02:06 |
| sixofour | can't put false info on a cmercial !! | 02:06 |
| sixofour | lol | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | not yet | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | lol | 02:06 |
| sixofour | wow | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | anyways | 02:06 |
| kuaera | sixofour: Apple, iPhone, the UK. Look it up and stop spewing FUD. It's annoying. | 02:06 |
| sixofour | ms and apple have money to fix themselves | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | i think schools need to teach kids how to use linux | 02:06 |
| sixofour | pft UK | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | and teach them the benefits of FOSS | 02:06 |
| kuaera | newbie2573: No. | 02:06 |
| newbie2573 | why nott? | 02:07 |
| newbie2573 | not* | 02:07 |
| sixofour | shcools need to teach kids education first | 02:07 |
| kuaera | Teach kids computer basics. It's up to them to learn how to apply their skills to their system. | 02:07 |
| newbie2573 | hm | 02:07 |
| newbie2573 | i guess | 02:07 |
| newbie2573 | but what i mean is.. | 02:07 |
| newbie2573 | if a school has 5 computer labs, one of them should run ubuntu | 02:07 |
| yemcrx | what's there to learn my 4yr old uses kubuntu with no issues | 02:07 |
| newbie2573 | at least get people used to using it | 02:07 |
| sixofour | yemcrx: he wants people to learn how to build a kernal from scratch | 02:08 |
| yemcrx | ah | 02:08 |
| sixofour | that is considered ubuntu basics | 02:08 |
| sigma92 | hey guys, i just downloaded jaunty alpha 6. upon launching it plasma crashes. | 02:08 |
| jvinokur | isn't xbuntu designed for that? | 02:08 |
| kuaera | yemcrx: Does your four-year-old use word processing? Printing? | 02:08 |
| sigma92 | this happens on every computer ive tried; so far, a netbook, and a desktop. | 02:08 |
| sixofour | once you know that, you can contribute, otherwise your a leech :P | 02:08 |
| yemcrx | openoffice | 02:08 |
| kuaera | Which... I must add, Linux printing is superior | 02:08 |
| yemcrx | and yeah she knows how to print to our print on the network | 02:09 |
| sigma92 | i tried to run plasma manually from the commandline, and get this error | 02:09 |
| sixofour | what is plasma? | 02:09 |
| sixofour | is that the yellow box on my desktop? | 02:09 |
| kuaera | sixofour: KDE 4 desktop. | 02:09 |
| newbie2573 | the desktop widgets on kubuntu 8.20 | 02:09 |
| newbie2573 | 10* | 02:09 |
| newbie2573 | yeah | 02:09 |
| sigma92 | plasma is the desktop and taskbar in kde4 | 02:09 |
| sixofour | what is the grey box for? | 02:09 |
| newbie2573 | there's a bunch of different things, not just the yellow sticky pad | 02:09 |
| newbie2573 | the task bar is one of them too | 02:10 |
| sixofour | the widget thing ahs been here since kde2.5 iirc | 02:10 |
| newbie2573 | basically it's everything on your deskto | 02:10 |
| sigma92 | error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" | 02:10 |
| sixofour | the task abr isn;'t new :/ | 02:10 |
| newbie2573 | the taskbars and all | 02:10 |
| sixofour | bar isn't new* | 02:10 |
| newbie2573 | it's a new way of doing it | 02:10 |
| newbie2573 | just google it | 02:10 |
| newbie2573 | wikipedia has something on it | 02:10 |
| newbie2573 | en.wikipedia.org/Plasma | 02:10 |
| sigma92 | anyway the point is | 02:10 |
| sigma92 | this is a pretty showstopping bug... even for an alpha release | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | i googled that error | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | got a launchpad bug that says the fix is committed... | 02:11 |
| newbie2573 | sixofour: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.2/desktop.php | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | but i downloaded all updates (had to get on an ethernet wire, plasma now controls network manager) | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | no dice. | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | anyone know what's going on? | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | i mean i essentially have no desktop | 02:11 |
| sigma92 | and you'd think that'd be something thye'd check before rolling out an alpha release... | 02:12 |
| Slartibartfast | sigma92: discussions about jaunty alpha software -> #ubuntu+1 | 02:14 |
| sixofour | how can i search in konsole a fodler for files that have *.exe ? | 02:14 |

| yemcrx | man adept is acting wierd on me, firefox and kubuntu-restricted-extras wasn't listed in the repos I had to use the command line apt-get to install them | 02:30 |
| yemcrx | any ideas | 02:30 |
| Slartibartfast | yemcrx: no ... but i like to use the console more to install software so using that more | 02:31 |
| cuki | does anybnows why can i conect with vodafone mobile connect card and not be able to navigate whit konqueror? Does it have somethin to do with dns? | 02:32 |
| yemcrx | even after adding the medibuntu repo, w64codecs would not show up in adept, had to revert to the comamnd line. I'm wondering if it has to do with using kubuntu64 vs 32 | 02:32 |
| Pirate-King | could someone check this paste bin out please http://pastebin.ws/5k7geq | 02:32 |
| sixofour | ugh wtf | 02:32 |
| sixofour | i still need sudo to write to /home/user/ | 02:32 |
| demi | I'm loving this Kubuntu, It supports alot more than what I could maunually get Freebsd to support, mainly my ATI card. | 02:33 |
| Slartibartfast | yemcrx: no also in my 32bits system adept does not show a lot of software ... | 02:33 |
| demi | I got Everquest running Flawlessly in Wine which is fun. | 02:33 |
| sixofour | wow oldschool | 02:33 |
| sixofour | everquest' | 02:33 |
| demi | EQ still owns man | 02:33 |
| sixofour | everquest is a chatroom where people sit around spawn points all day killing | 02:34 |
| demi | 10th aniversary shit coming up in 4 days, lol | 02:34 |
| demi | nah it has changed alot | 02:34 |
| sixofour | well, i will brb nontheless | 02:34 |
| demi | Lotsa fun quests, killer group/raid gear, awesome/hard raid content. | 02:34 |
| yemcrx | I install from a kubuntu 64 CD this time vs usually using the Alternate disk or the DVD, wonder if somethings missing | 02:35 |
| demi | dvd mainly had just a shit ton of extra language support, from what I have read. | 02:35 |
| stdin | !language | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:36 |
| demi | maybe some extra packages, but better off going online for those using adept or your favorite package manager. | 02:36 |
| demi | I'm sorry. | 02:36 |
| cuki | what do i need to use konqueror to navigate with a 3g hauwei modem? tnx... | 02:37 |
| Slartibartfast | cuki: http://ubuntu3215w.blogspot.com/2008/05/huawei-e220-3g-modem-howto.html | 02:40 |
| boboso | would anyone know why when i type gksu gedit /etc/fstab it start to load up and then goes away and goes back to the command prompt | 02:40 |
| cuki | tanks slartibartfast... | 02:40 |
| yemcrx | man even edubuntu-desktop does not apear in the repos | 02:41 |
| cuki | but, i can't acess to link, do i have another browser to use in kubuntu 8.04. I'm a fist time user.... | 02:42 |
| Slartibartfast | cuki: firefox ? | 02:42 |
| demi | Don't think so, I use Firefox/Epiphany | 02:42 |
| demi | Have to Download them though. | 02:42 |
| draik_ | I know that what I'm doing now is insanity, but there's got to be a way for me to get the nVidia driver to work on my desktop. | 02:43 |
| Slartibartfast | cuki: also this link might be helpful for you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5236149#post5236149 | 02:43 |
| yemcrx | i think adept is f'd up, possibly after I clicked one of the state icons, ie so it would not show (not installed) items ? | 02:43 |
| demi | did you add a wrong repo addy in your sources? | 02:43 |
| yemcrx | nope | 02:43 |
| demi | that would prevent ti to load I did the same thing | 02:43 |
| p_quarles | boboso: since this is Kubuntu, what about kdesudo kate /etc/fstab ? | 02:44 |
| yemcrx | I'll double check | 02:44 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: what nvidia driver you use ? | 02:44 |
| draik_ | 173 as recommended | 02:44 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: I have used 96, 173 and 180 | 02:44 |
| boboso | p_quarles: oh ok i was just following some web site ty | 02:44 |
| cuki | i tryed, unless it is on the dvd media... | 02:44 |
| Slartibartfast | i thought there was also 177 | 02:44 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: Any driver I use freezes my desktop | 02:44 |
| draik_ | 177 does not support my card, GeForce FX 5700LE | 02:45 |
| Slartibartfast | 177 i use on kubuntu8.10 on my laptop | 02:45 |
| Slartibartfast | aaaaah | 02:45 |
| Slartibartfast | ok ok | 02:45 |
| p_quarles | boboso: right; you can easily install gksu and gedit, but they don't come default with Kubuntu | 02:45 |
| demi | Cuki - It should be on the dvd media I would imagine. Not sure though. | 02:45 |
| boboso | p_quarles: right i got kate working ty | 02:45 |
| cuki | i'm looking now | 02:45 |
| beardbar | anyone have compiz fusion working in 8.10? | 02:46 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: hmmmm ... not sure, but if the ubuntu drivers crash your Xorg maybe you can try to download the drivers directly from Nvidia ? | 02:47 |
| goofey | beardbar: why would anyone use compix fusion in *kubunt* 8.10 - kde has it's own composite manager | 02:50 |
| demi | Beardbar - I culd not get it to work through compizconfig setting manager, but after installing that and a few other things, for compiz I was able to go to System Settings>Desktop and there will/should be a new tab "All Effects" which those effects worked. | 02:50 |
| demi | Stil some effects, like Explosion's and etc wotn work... | 02:50 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: I was going to try that right now and I just lost my connection to all of the interwebs | 02:50 |
| draik_ | Rebooting now | 02:51 |
| beardbar | draik_: id purge your current nvidia drivers, then download directly from nvidia install. that got my 9800gt working, not sure about your card though | 02:51 |
| draik_ | beardbar: How do I purge the 173 I have now for the 173 from the nVidia site? | 02:52 |
| draik_ | Same version, BTW | 02:52 |
| beardbar | goofey: ive been out of the scene for 3 years so I might not need it? im still trying to get hte third monitor going hehe. | 02:52 |
| Slartibartfast | apt-get --purge remove nvidia-xxxxxx | 02:52 |
| draik_ | 8.10 only uses nvidia-glx | 02:53 |
| Slartibartfast | and the xorg-nvidia stuff | 02:53 |
| draik_ | OK | 02:53 |
| draik_ | I'll do that once I'm logged in again | 02:53 |
| CYREX | first of all hello everyone | 02:53 |
| Slartibartfast | be sure you also rmmod nvidia before you build and insert the new module | 02:53 |
| CYREX | i am looking for a web page that shows alternative programs in linux for the ones found on windows | 02:54 |
| demi | try kde-apps.org? | 02:54 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-173 xorg-nvidia && sudo rmmod nvidia | 02:54 |
| CYREX | thanks demi | 02:55 |
| demi | Also using Adept you can search a phrase of what you want and maybe can find it. | 02:55 |
| cuki | Slartibartfast, do y think i have to configurate the dns on konqueror? | 02:55 |
| CYREX | yes the thing is i am building an up to date list for my country to see | 02:55 |
| draik_ | I lost interwebs again :( | 02:55 |
| demi | CYREX - kde-apps isnt the only source but google helps too, GL | 02:55 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: something like that yes :-) ... not sure about the xorg-nvidia ... | 02:55 |
| draik_ | got it back :) | 02:56 |
| CYREX | already searched in several but most are really REALLY old, most of the programs in the list are several years old and not up to date | 02:56 |
| CYREX | so i was wondering maybe someone new of a better one | 02:56 |
| CYREX | for the moment i only have a horrible html list | 02:56 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: nvidia-xconfig maybe? | 02:57 |
| CYREX | http://www.neogm.com/compatibilidad | 02:57 |
| yemcrx | yeah adept seems to be fubar, it will not show any packages that are not installed | 02:57 |
| demi | kde-apps.org is all I really know, and kde-look.org to help pimp you desktops looks, otherwise I dont know about alot of the apps out there yet. | 02:57 |
| CYREX | but i am working on moving it to php/mysql | 02:57 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: ... anything related to nvidia ... | 02:57 |
| CYREX | a oki np demi | 02:57 |
| CYREX | thanks for the help though | 02:57 |
| Slartibartfast | see dpkg -l *nvidia* |grep ^ii | 02:58 |
| boboso | my new hard drive says 931GB and 14GB used for a total of 916GB of space but when i go to the drive with dolphin its syas 870 is this right? | 02:58 |
| demi | CYREX: Yea some of those are old, for a good videoplayer for dvd's or any other files try Smplayer, and VLC player(Videolan Player) | 02:59 |
| CYREX | got it | 02:59 |
| CYREX | vlc i knew the other did not | 02:59 |
| demi | boboso: I have seen incorrect numbers for folders and other things as well using dolphin. | 03:00 |
| CYREX | i will added to my list to lookup | 03:00 |
| demi | Personally Dolphin is very slow too=\ | 03:00 |
| * MacProKubuntu64 is back. | 03:00 | |
| boboso | demi: so the 870 is wrong you think? | 03:01 |
| demi | I can't just say it's wrong but I have had nothing but trouble using Dolphin, and have seen incorrect drive spaces for folders/stuff I have copied or whatever. | 03:02 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: That includes envyng too, right? | 03:02 |
| Slartibartfast | i think all the dependancies take care of the other related stuff | 03:03 |
| demi | Cyrex: You try checking the drive using Konqueror? | 03:03 |
| demi | Errr Boboso*** | 03:04 |
| draik_ | How do I stop X from TTY1? | 03:05 |
| draik_ | Got it | 03:05 |
| Slartibartfast | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 03:05 |
| boboso | says 870 out of 916 free 6% used | 03:06 |
| draik_ | Yep, that's what I ran | 03:06 |
| CYREX | checking the drive? | 03:06 |
| CYREX | what do you mean? | 03:06 |
| CYREX | draik_: Press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE | 03:07 |
| CYREX | you will kill X like that | 03:07 |
| demi | CYREX: Just meant trying to see in Konqueror how much HD Space was used. | 03:07 |
| CYREX | a oki let me see | 03:07 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: Would I want to run the nvidia-xconfig utility to automatically update my X configuration file so that NVIDIA X driver will be used when I restart X? | 03:07 |
| Slartibartfast | CYREX: But the kdm just respawns | 03:07 |
| draik_ | CYREX: That will restart X. I needed it to be stopped | 03:08 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: yes | 03:08 |
| CYREX | demi: Oki did it. Works great | 03:08 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: Done. start kdm now? | 03:08 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: but it will only add Driver "nividia" in there | 03:08 |
| Slartibartfast | sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 03:08 |
| CYREX | Slartibartfast: Respawns in tty1? | 03:08 |
| draik_ | Right, but good to start now Slartibartfast? | 03:09 |
| Slartibartfast | CTRL ALT BKSP will just restart kdm | 03:09 |
| draik_ | CYREX: Not in TTY1, but it will restart X on the GUI's | 03:09 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: Yes | 03:09 |
| Slartibartfast | Try it | 03:09 |
| CYREX | yes i thought you had went to tty1 and did a startx on it | 03:09 |
| draik_ | Done. Let's see... | 03:09 |
| draik_ | So far so good... | 03:10 |
| Slartibartfast | CYREX: kdm starts by default | 03:11 |
| CYREX | and you want to eliminate the default part of kde | 03:11 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: turn on some effects | 03:11 |
| CYREX | is that ir | 03:11 |
| CYREX | it* | 03:11 |
| Slartibartfast | CYREX: not me | 03:11 |
| hux | anyone know why alt+spacebar does't open the window menu in kde4? | 03:12 |
| draik_ | Slartibartfast: I did. They are running | 03:14 |
| draik_ | Time for some audio. That usually does it sometimes | 03:14 |
| Slartibartfast | Thats good :-) ... | 03:14 |
| draik | Ok. Looking good here | 03:14 |
| draik | Slartibartfast: I never thought it would have made a difference from the repos to the nvidia site | 03:15 |
| Slartibartfast | draik: :) ... i had the same in debian once ... when stuff in the debian repos did not work while the drivers from the nvidia site worked without problems | 03:16 |
| Slartibartfast | draik: But myself i had no problems yet with ubuntu provided drivers ... except the 180 stuff ... which is in itself buggy as hell | 03:17 |
| sixofour | is tjhere an SDL pack ro soemthign that includes everything i'll need [to run games] | 03:18 |
| draik | Good to know | 03:19 |
| sixofour | how do you search apt-get? | 03:21 |
| cuki | ok, i can acess in ftp area but i cant http... | 03:21 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: apt-cache search | 03:23 |
| sixofour | og right, apt-cashe | 03:23 |
| sixofour | what do i do with .rpm files? | 03:25 |
| * MacProKubuntu64 is away: Gone away for now | 03:27 | |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: apt-get install alien ... alien xxxxx .rpm | 03:28 |
| Slartibartfast | !alien | 03:28 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 03:28 |
| sixofour | ?? | 03:28 |
| sixofour | so.... | 03:28 |
| sixofour | there has to be a better way of getting sdl and zlb and ogl | 03:28 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: huh? ... do you mean you can not find them in apt-cache search sdl ... etc? | 03:30 |
| sixofour | i don't know what i need lol | 03:30 |
| sixofour | i need "sdl zlib and ogl" | 03:30 |
| Slartibartfast | sixofour: not sure .. :-) ... maybe use google and try to find people who use the same games in linux | 03:33 |
| sixofour | how do i get to c: | 03:34 |
| sixofour | with wine | 03:34 |
| sixofour | lol | 03:34 |
| doleyb | sixofour: ~/.wine/c_drive | 03:35 |
| sixofour | where is .wine? | 03:35 |
| doleyb | sixofour: ~ | 03:35 |
| sixofour | what is ~ | 03:36 |
| sixofour | ? | 03:36 |
| Slartibartfast | $HOME | 03:36 |
| doleyb | sixofour: try typing "ls ~" and see what happen | 03:36 |
| doleyb | sixofour: programs keep their config stuff in ~/.programname. So wine's stuff is in ~/.wine. And the c drive is ~/.wine/drive_c | 03:37 |
| CoJaBo | What would cause things such as scrolling and clicking to unexpectedly do something random (ex. scroll starts switching windows instead of scrolling, left click closes current application, right click switches to Firefox and starts it's download manager)? | 03:37 |
| draik_ | So all seems good here now :) | 03:40 |
| Slartibartfast | draik_: Good to know | 03:40 |
| draik | Slartibartfast: Thank you much! | 03:41 |
| Slartibartfast | draik: welcome | 03:41 |

| draik | When doing the 'record desktop' it is being saved to an unfamiliar format. What would open it? | 03:42 |
| draik | cps | 03:42 |
| Slartibartfast | see what it says with file xxxxx.cps | 03:42 |
| draik | kwin_video1.cps: data | 03:43 |
| Slartibartfast | hmmmm ... can't open with vlc or mplayer ? | 03:43 |
| Slartibartfast | draik: read this thread http://forum.kde.org/kwin-video-record-t-7864.html | 03:45 |
| draik | Nope. None of them. Not kaffeine either. | 03:45 |
| demi | how do I make a script file? | 03:45 |
| demi | Conky wants me to place a startup script called .conky_start.sh in your home directory: | 03:45 |
| tweakedeh | I'm trying to compile a C program and I get this. test.c:1:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory Does any one know what pacakge I need to install? | 03:46 |
| Slartibartfast | draik: seems you need to recode it to make it workable for mencoder to make it into a avi or so :-) | 03:46 |
| draik | Got it | 03:47 |
| draik | I was just reading that part | 03:47 |
| draik | How do I set a shortcut for locking my desktop? | 03:49 |
| demi | What bin file do I add ~/.kde/Autostart to for Conky, I dont see a Conky.bin file anywhere? | 03:50 |
| draik | demi: Wouldn't it just be conky rather than conky.bin? | 03:50 |
| draik | 'whereis conky' | 03:51 |
| demi | its in /usr/bin | 03:51 |
| demi | I need to add ~/.kde/Autostart to make it autostart in kde, nto sure where i add that into? | 03:51 |
| demi | the guide says "Also, to get Conky to autostart in Kubuntu, you need to add a link to the bin file (in /usr/bin) to autostart" | 03:53 |
| Slartibartfast | draik: for cpsrecode you need to install capseo | 03:54 |
| draik | Yep. Did that too. | 03:55 |
| draik | demi, then do that. 'cp /usr/bin/conky ~/.kde/Autostart' | 03:55 |
| Slartibartfast | demi: do ln -s /usr/bin/conky ~/.kde/Autostart/ | 04:01 |
| demi | I got it to autostat now, and I used this guides command to add in my xorg file to stop the flashing but that isnt working hrmm. | 04:02 |
| demi | autostart* | 04:02 |

| Slartibartfast | draik_: indeed ... | 04:12 |
| Slartibartfast | sure it's not your isp or something else? | 04:12 |
| draik_ | And now the audio :( | 04:14 |
| draik_ | It just got choppy | 04:15 |
| draik_ | And now computer froze :( | 04:16 |
| draik_ | Well, it was good while it lasted | 04:16 |
| Slartibartfast | :-( | 04:16 |
| Slartibartfast | anything in the logfiles ? ... see if top shows something ? .... | 04:17 |
| Slartibartfast | dmesg? | 04:17 |
| Slartibartfast | is there maybe to much dust inside ? :-) ... can make the hardware overheat and this can have strange effects | 04:18 |
| draik | It just peaked my interest. If I had 4 monitors, would I be able to dedicate a virtual desktop to a monitor? | 04:21 |
| * MacProKubuntu64 is back. | 04:22 | |
| demi | Well when I applied this code "~/.kde/Autostart" in /usr/bin it didnt seem to save so conky wont autostart upon restarting, How do I add that again? | 04:31 |
| Laeborg | If I have 2 monitors, can I then set up Monitor 1 to display Desktop 1 as default ect ? | 04:32 |
| Blink^ | hi, anybody on kubuntu 9.04? | 04:34 |

| xjjk | has anyone experience running KDE 4.x on a Celeron with 256 MB of RAM? | 06:09 |
| xjjk | I'm wanting to setup Kubuntu for my girlfriend, but I'm worried whether her laptop is powerful enough | 06:09 |
| xjjk | getting a new laptop isn't a short term option | 06:10 |
| desu | i think it shouldn't be too much of a problem, if you disable desktop effects and other eye candy... | 06:11 |
| * JP-sNL agrees | 06:13 | |
| xjjk | probably will have to set her up with Konqueror? I'm worried about Firefox | 06:15 |
| xjjk | having to load associated GTK libraries and Firefox's normal memory usage may be too much | 06:15 |
| JP-sNL | xjjk, both can live on the same installed OS: konquerer is standard, fixefox optional | 06:16 |
| ibuffy | [01:14] <ibuffy> anyone else have this issue: http://bayimg.com/HaoGAAABE | 06:17 |
| ibuffy | [01:14] <ibuffy> aisan fonts don't display properly | 06:17 |
| xjjk | JP-sNL: yes, but I'm worried about whether 256 MB of RAM is enough for running KDE and Firefox at the same time | 06:17 |
| ibuffy | still having the issue | 06:17 |
| ravel | uh. I am wondering if others have serious stability issues with Kubuntu 8.10 & KDE 4.2 | 06:17 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: are you talking about that nasty overlapping? | 06:17 |
| ibuffy | xjjk: yes | 06:17 |
| ravel | (and... all the 3d desktop effects become disabled after hibernating once) | 06:17 |
| JP-sNL | xjjk, if you don't like how firefox runs you can just uninstall it... no problem i think | 06:18 |
| ibuffy | [01:15] <ibuffy> they display correctly if i highlight them | 06:18 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: hrm, works on my machine... which is probably not useful to use (Debian/Iceweasel) | 06:18 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: is that 8.10? | 06:18 |
| xjjk | let me check on my 9.04 machine... | 06:18 |
| ravel | Konqueror crashes 1-2 times a day, firefox about 5 times a day, kde crashes once in a while, kopete and plasma crash every day | 06:19 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: works on my 9.04 machine | 06:19 |
| ravel | (of course, KDE 4.1 was much more unstable) | 06:20 |
| ibuffy | xjjk: did you have the problem on 8.04? | 06:21 |
| ibuffy | 8.10 ** | 06:21 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: I skipped 8.10... | 06:21 |
| xjjk | but I don't recall problems like that, ever | 06:21 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: have you tried not using gtk-qtengine | 06:21 |
| xjjk | and a normal GTK theme? | 06:22 |
| ibuffy | xjjk: that's an idea... | 06:24 |
| ibuffy | one sec | 06:24 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: if you want Firefox to look like your KDE apps, I highly recommend QtCurve | 06:25 |
| xjjk | maybe a little boring, but it works, and is fast | 06:25 |
| xjjk | unlike gtk-qtengine | 06:25 |
| ibuffy | alright, that didn't fix it | 06:26 |
| ravel | is there a way to re-enable the 3d desktop effects once they have crashed? (plasma, whatever) | 06:26 |
| ibuffy | even trying the kde fonts in gtk apps didn't help | 06:26 |
| ibuffy | nor did the typical fonts in gtk | 06:26 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: just wondering, what happens when you incease the font size for the page? | 06:26 |
| xjjk | ravel: yes... System Settings > Desktop | 06:27 |
| ibuffy | changing style to a gtk style didn't affect the fonts either | 06:27 |
| xjjk | and it's some checkbox in there | 06:27 |
| ravel | which checkbox? | 06:27 |
| ravel | everything is enabled there | 06:27 |
| xjjk | Enable desktop effects | 06:27 |
| xjjk | or something similar | 06:27 |
| ibuffy | ah | 06:27 |
| ibuffy | increasing fonts works | 06:27 |
| ibuffy | font size* | 06:28 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: hrm, that's interesting... | 06:28 |
| ibuffy | yeah, for sure | 06:28 |
| ibuffy | konqueror doesn't need this but firefox does | 06:28 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: what happens if you permanently increase the font size? | 06:28 |
| ravel | xjjk...? | 06:28 |
| xjjk | ravel: the checkbox should be called enable desktop effects, or something like that | 06:29 |
| xjjk | if it's checked... uncheck/check it again | 06:29 |
| ibuffy | ah | 06:29 |
| ibuffy | increasing the font size only fixes that page | 06:29 |
| ibuffy | when you visit another page, you still have the same issue | 06:29 |
| ravel | xjjk, everything is enabled already. and if I uncheck/recheck it, it says Failed to activate desktop effects ... check your X configuration | 06:29 |
| xjjk | ravel: hrm... and desktops effects worked before? | 06:30 |
| ravel | yes | 06:30 |
| xjjk | ravel: we're talking about the window shadows, animations, panel translucency, right? | 06:30 |
| ravel | xjjk, yes | 06:31 |
| xjjk | ravel: mhrm, I'm unsure what to do next | 06:32 |
| xjjk | what video chipset does your system have? | 06:32 |
| ravel | Intel GM45 (HP 6530b laptop) | 06:33 |
| ibuffy | the increasing of font size doesn't help anymore | 06:35 |
| xjjk | ravel: I'm out of solutions... | 06:35 |
| ibuffy | i just have to put my mouse over the text to read it | 06:35 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: might have one more thing to try... | 06:36 |
| ibuffy | s/to read it/before it displays correctly | 06:36 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: can you open up a terminal... | 06:36 |
| xjjk | (close firefox first) | 06:36 |
| xjjk | and then run: | 06:36 |
| xjjk | export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1; firefox | 06:36 |
| ravel | xjjk, how about the general instability of KDE 4.2, Konqueror and Firefox? | 06:38 |
| ibuffy | xjjk: nope | 06:38 |
| ibuffy | now how do you enable pango? :) | 06:38 |
| ibuffy | MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO_1 ? | 06:39 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: it didn't make a difference? | 06:39 |
| ibuffy | no | 06:39 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: the environment variable will only be valid for that terminal, so close that terminal | 06:39 |
| ibuffy | gotcha | 06:39 |
| xjjk | ravel: I feel as if most of that is being addressed in Jaunty... | 06:39 |
| xjjk | Plasma still crashes more often than I'd like, but the rest of the KDE apps are very stable | 06:39 |
| ibuffy | oh noes! | 06:40 |
| xjjk | ravel: what Firefox extensions do you use? Most Firefox crashes are due to extensions... it otherwise is a very stable app | 06:40 |
| ibuffy | an issue i thought was gone has just come back after messing with these font settings: some kde apps become unresponse to the keyboard :\ | 06:40 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: mmm | 06:41 |
| ibuffy | for instance.... i can't search a program in the k menu | 06:41 |
| ibuffy | search +for | 06:41 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: it freezes? | 06:41 |
| ibuffy | it just started | 06:41 |
| ibuffy | the cursor is blinking but i can't type anything | 06:41 |
| ibuffy | and yet.. now i can | 06:42 |
| ibuffy | o boy | 06:42 |
| ibuffy | this is the part i hate.. don't know which app will and won't respond and when | 06:43 |
| ibuffy | atleast so far i haven't ran into dependency hell again | 06:43 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: how much RAM do you have? it seems as if you're defficient in something... | 06:43 |
| ibuffy | 1.5gb | 06:43 |
| xjjk | that is more than enough ,hrm | 06:43 |
| ibuffy | it seems more like bugs if you ask me :) | 06:44 |
| xjjk | any chance of running ksysguard at the same time and looking at what process is using most CPU whenever this happens? | 06:44 |
| xjjk | yeah... I actually skipped 8.10 | 06:44 |
| xjjk | it had too many bugs | 06:44 |
| ibuffy | no chance because i don't know when it happens | 06:44 |
| ravel | xjjk, adblock+, no others | 06:44 |
| ibuffy | it's random | 06:44 |
| xjjk | just went from 8.04 -> 9.04 | 06:44 |
| === kuaera is now known as kuaera|sleep | ||
| ibuffy | i need stability | 06:44 |
| xjjk | 9.04 has it's share of problems, but most are hardware related | 06:44 |
| ravel | on the other hand, all kde's and konquerors have been very unstable | 06:44 |
| xjjk | software so far has been very stable | 06:44 |
| ravel | on my home machine KDE is more unstable | 06:45 |
| xjjk | I'm really impressed with KDE 4.2.1 | 06:45 |
| xjjk | ravel: interesting | 06:45 |
| ibuffy | i am too | 06:45 |
| ibuffy | but it too had the same firefox issue w/ asian fonts | 06:45 |
| xjjk | ravel, ibuffy: would there happen to be LoCos in your area? | 06:46 |
| ravel | what's locos | 06:46 |
| xjjk | local community | 06:47 |
| ibuffy | of what? | 06:47 |
| ibuffy | whackos? yes | 06:47 |
| xjjk | well, yeah | 06:47 |
| ravel | there's "ubuntu finland" | 06:47 |
| xjjk | some people in them tend to be a bit overenthusiastic (and not much else, *cough*) | 06:47 |
| ravel | I asked them once about the instability, they said that they have not exeperienced it in their installations | 06:47 |
| ravel | from my experience, every KDE has been quite unstable (I have used it since 3.0) | 06:48 |
| xjjk | ravel: for kde apps, it'd probably be very helpful if you installed the *-dbg packages | 06:48 |
| xjjk | and used KDE's crash reporting tool | 06:48 |
| ibuffy | i'm pretty sure a local ubuntu group would just as helpful as this channel | 06:48 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: depends how knowledgable people are... unfortunately it's difficult to diagnose some things over IRC | 06:48 |
| ravel | generally, I like KDE 4.2 very much. | 06:49 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: how much disk space do you have? | 06:49 |
| ravel | it's just that the usability is still not very good, it is unstable and practically all KDE's previous problems are carried over | 06:49 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: can you check whether you experience the same problems under GNOME? | 06:49 |
| ravel | and i had to edit text conf files to get dualhead enabled | 06:50 |
| ravel | xjjk, is there a handy way to find those packages :-) | 06:51 |
| xjjk | ravel: whatever application you're using that crashes... e.g. kopete, there should be kopete-dbg | 06:51 |
| xjjk | I think | 06:51 |
| ibuffy | xjjk: just tried, same problem there as well | 06:51 |
| xjjk | at least the major packages like amarok have versions with debugging symbols | 06:51 |
| xjjk | hrm, don't think all packages have them... blargh | 06:52 |
| ravel | xjjk, there is not konqueror-dbg | 06:52 |
| ravel | Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "kopete-dbg" | 06:52 |
| xjjk | ravel: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/DebuggingKDE | 06:53 |
| xjjk | apparently it's a bit more complicated than I described | 06:54 |
| xjjk | debugging symbols for konqueror would be in kdebase-dbg | 06:54 |
| xjjk | kopete, kdenetwork-dbg | 06:54 |
| ravel | alright | 06:54 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: it *only* happens in Firefox? | 06:55 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: have you tried the binaries available from mozilla.org? does the same problem happen there? | 06:55 |
| * MacProKubuntu64 is away: Gone away for now | 06:57 | |
| ibuffy | did i do this correctly? extracted the tarball and then launched firefox from within the folder using ./firefox | 07:00 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: yep | 07:00 |
| ibuffy | ..it asked me if i wanted to restore my last session o.O | 07:00 |
| ibuffy | and still gave me a little intro | 07:00 |
| ibuffy | same problem | 07:00 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: same problem? | 07:00 |
| ibuffy | yup | 07:00 |
| xjjk | definitely a pango issue | 07:00 |
| xjjk | or corrupted font | 07:00 |
| ibuffy | i didn't have this problem until setting up scim | 07:01 |
| ibuffy | and scim's bi*** to setup | 07:01 |
| xjjk | I've never setup scim | 07:01 |
| ibuffy | it's not as simple as apt-get install scim | 07:01 |
| xjjk | I imagine not | 07:01 |
| ibuffy | i'll remove scim and its settings settings reluctantly just to test it out | 07:02 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: backup the settings, obviously.. | 07:02 |
| ibuffy | this is still the most relevant page for scim setup: http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/scim/ | 07:03 |
| ibuffy | the ubuntu.com stuff never works | 07:03 |
| beardbar1 | so anyone here running jaunty with multiple monitors? | 07:03 |
| ibuffy | being https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InputMethods/SCIM/Setup | 07:03 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: thanks for the links... I may need this | 07:03 |
| xjjk | my girlfriend is Korean and may want input support | 07:03 |
| ibuffy | go w/ the first one | 07:04 |
| ibuffy | it makes things simple | 07:04 |
| beardbar1 | is there a quick command that i can tell the exact version of kde that I am running? | 07:05 |
| xjjk | beardbar1: looking at the about dialog of your favorite KDE app is easier | 07:05 |
| ibuffy | nope | 07:09 |
| ibuffy | i shouldn't have to reboot X but i will jix | 07:09 |
| ibuffy | jic* | 07:09 |
| ibuffy | i give up, i'm reporting a bug on firefox and not messing with it anymore | 07:11 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: sorry could not be of more help... | 07:11 |
| ibuffy | man.. i could give up firefox if only the flash plugin worked like it does in firefox | 07:11 |
| beardbar1 | took a few but found it, thanks xjjk | 07:11 |
| xjjk | ibuffy: are you reporting it now? do a favor and give me the bug number | 07:11 |
| ibuffy | don't be, you tried hard | 07:11 |
| * MacProKubuntu64 is back. | 07:11 | |

| beardbar1 | so i am running 3 monitors, got my xorg.conf look'n all pretty petite, everything so far is fine, accept my login and log off screens, and any new window that opens, they open or appear centered between the two monitors. anyone know how I might fix this? | 07:27 |
| kanon-mat | beardbar1: maybe rightklick on the titlebar and choose advanced > special application settings | 07:29 |
| kanon-mat | you can choose position | 07:29 |
| kanon-mat | idk if it works for double monitirs | 07:30 |
| beardbar1 | kanon-mat: you know I wonder if its because I installed comiz before i realized I didnt really need it for kde. | 07:31 |
| kanon-mat | i dont think it is because of compiz | 07:32 |
| beardbar1 | ya your probably right, since its not actually loading. | 07:32 |
| kanon-mat | there should be an option to open a window in screen 0 or 1 | 07:34 |
| kanon-mat | i have just one monitor :) | 07:34 |
| beardbar1 | well i am gonna chalk it up to just starting back into linux after a 3 year hiatus. I was actually suprised I got this far. gonna do a fresh install of jaunty alpha six | 07:36 |
| kanon-mat | impressive, i forget things fast | 07:37 |
| beardbar1 | ok, wierd im actually running kde 4.1 i thought 8.10 came with 4.2 so do I need to upgrade my kde desktop to 4.2? | 07:39 |
| kanon-mat | i have kde 3.5.10 | 07:40 |
| kanon-mat | i think 8.10 came with 4.1 | 07:40 |
| kanon-mat | and that there is an upgrade to 4.2 | 07:40 |
| kanon-mat | it should have bugfixes | 07:41 |
| beardbar1 | ya im seeing it now, and the instructions | 07:41 |
| kanon-mat | anyway, i have system settings > window behaviour > window specific settings | 07:42 |
| kanon-mat | there is a way to add apps there, and settings for how theyu are started | 07:43 |
| beardbar1 | thanks, i'll have a look gonna upgrade to 4.2 first | 07:45 |

| fireball_ | or otherwise, its a drive problem, you guys can probably help | 11:58 |
| kaddi | heya.. how exactly is a usbdrive mounted, when i use the graphical interface? is the fat-table somehow modified? | 11:58 |
| fireball_ | i fiddled with the permissions of my ntfs driive, now all sorts of problems. . . | 11:58 |
| fireball_ | can't seem to reset them succesfully | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | Huh> what does a fat table have to do with mounting? | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | ntfs/vfat are normally mounted using the ntfs-3g tool's | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | the permissions are normally set when the filesystem is mounted. | 12:00 |
| Dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 12:00 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 12:00 |
| fireball_ | my drives mounted ok (assuming you're talking to me) | 12:00 |
| kaddi | na, i think he meant me ;) | 12:00 |
| kaddi | Dr_Willis nothing really.. i have a file that was unreadable under windows, when i mounted it manually via mount -t vfat etc... it remained unreadable under windows. Then i used the graphical interface to mount and unmount the usbdrive and all of a sudden the file can be read. | 12:01 |
| speedcore | what it the default desktop switch shortcut? | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | kaddi, sounds liek a fluke to me.. the gui is mounting things the same way as the command line | 12:01 |
| kaddi | i'd just like to know what happen and thought maybe it hast something to do with fat tabls | 12:01 |
| fireball_ | but i can't access the music from my media players without "Could not get/set settings from/on resource" | 12:01 |
| Dr_willis | You may want to be backingup and filechecking that drive real soon | 12:02 |
| kaddi | it's 128mb usb-drive... nothing of real value on there... :p | 12:02 |

| makdaknife | speedcore: I think that xrender works okay | 12:12 |

| JuJuBee | noren: I forgot that the folder could be a hidden one.... can try du -sh ./.* to show size of all hidden folders.. | 13:11 |
| makdaknife | noren: the alternative to the filesize view in konqueror is to install filelight | 13:11 |
| kanon-mat | so i purged it, it was 6 packages, when active it used 18% of my cpu cycles :) | 13:11 |

| BluesKaj | noren, download and burn GParted to a disk , it's a live cd partioning app which has serverd me well, it shows all free space/partitions and their status . It's safe and easy to use. | 14:11 |
| noren | BluesKaj: i dont have any prob with the partitionnn but .... is it a good practicce to have an separate /home partion for any distro | 14:13 |
| noren | and if u are having two different distro on the same machine sud u share the same /home partition | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | noren, in my opinion , no . If you have important work related data to protect then, yes. | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | Beardbar, perhaps you could try sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst at the prompt to see what you need to edit in grub | 14:16 |

| demi | Quick Question, How do I make my desktop effects through KDE Settings Take effect after each restart? because to make them work I gotta go back into system settings, and his default or something. | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | demi: make sure you have write access and ownershipp to your entire home dir | 16:07 |

| ActionParsnip | josh-l: not without recompiling | 16:09 |
| demi | <ActionParsnip> How do I do that in a terminal? | 16:09 |
| josh-l | ActionParsnip: so I could take the deb and precompile it? | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | josh-l: if you install ia32-libs you can force architecture and it will install and run | 16:09 |
| josh-l | ActionParsnip: can i decompile, it and recompile? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | demi: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER; sudo chmod -R 755 /home/$USER | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | josh-l: no, you can run 32bit debs if you install ia32-libs | 16:11 |

| ActionParsnip | MaGicKanGaRoo: low system footprint and a nice UI | 16:20 |
| adi3 | ActionParsnip | yes in a dell inspiron touchpad.... | 16:21 |

| MaGicKanGaRoo | well if you try it let me know :) | 16:21 |
| MaGicKanGaRoo | how it turns out etc | 16:21 |

| ActionParsnip | adi3: http://www.ubuntuhq.com/news/general/enable-horizontal-scrolling-on-synaptics-touchpads-in-ubuntu-linux.html | 16:22 |
| adi3 | thanks but this is for ubuntu | 16:23 |
| adi3 | im on kubuntu kde 3.5 | 16:23 |
| adi3 | and im affraid if i install some gtk app it will install gnome libs | 16:24 |
| adi3 | right? | 16:24 |
| MaGicKanGaRoo | gtk != gnome no | 16:24 |
| MaGicKanGaRoo | when you install | 16:24 |
| mefisto__ | I get "page not found" for that link | 16:24 |
| MaGicKanGaRoo | check what your installing | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | adi3: its the same thing | 16:24 |
| MaGicKanGaRoo | for an libg etc as theyre usually gnomeys | 16:25 |
| demi | I did those commands to home folder, and restarted, it still didnt save my desktop effects settings when I restarted. | 16:26 |
| MaGicKanGaRoo | maybe this will help for the scolling i get 404 on that patge as well | 16:27 |

| adi3 | ActionParsnip | I was looking forward to do exactly this | 16:29 |
| adi3 | using horizontal scrollbar as a back/forwrad buttons in firefox | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | adi3: is that what that guide says, it says something about about:config | 16:30 |
| adi3 | as it is mantioned in the inspiron 9300 | 16:30 |
| adi3 | in order to modify at the about:config of ff | 16:31 |
| adi3 | i need to have horizontal scrollbar enabled on my touchpad | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | adi3: if its enabled in bios then its good to go | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | that guide should help | 16:32 |

| adi3 | normally i dont touch bios since years | 16:33 |
| adi3 | and im coming from ubuntu/gnome | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | you can make your system a bit slicker with bios | 16:33 |
| adi3 | there it was something like a click on metacity config window and than horizonatal scrollbar is enable | 16:33 |
| adi3 | than changeing inside about:config on ff I would have horizontal bar on touchpad acting like back/forward button on firefox | 16:34 |
| adi3 | :) | 16:34 |

| Haza1 | mefisto__: Thanks :) | 17:09 |
| elirips | josh-l: just wondering, why exactly do you need opera? | 17:11 |
| josh-l | elirips: in a qt only environment i find its the only browser that can do everything i want | 17:12 |
| josh-l | i could use more than one browser to do everything i need, but i just wont do that | 17:13 |

| Dashkal | Having a problem with removable USB drives in Kubuntu 8.10. KDE is handling mounting the drive for me, but it's mounting it so all files appear to be named in lower case. This is corrupting some of my programming projects when I try to copy them over to my ext3 partition (case does matter for some of these files). | 17:16 |
| Dashkal | With a little help from google I found out that adding shortname=mixed to the mount options will fix it, but how do I do that when the drive is automounted? | 17:18 |
| mefisto__ | Dashkal: add that option to fstab I suppose | 17:20 |
| Dashkal | removable media. not in fstab to begin with. | 17:21 |
| Dashkal | more to the point, a USB drive, not even a cdrom | 17:21 |
| mefisto__ | Dashkal: you could put it in fstab. use UUID so fstab mounts that particular drive with the options you want | 17:22 |
| Dashkal | mmm | 17:22 |
| Dashkal | how is that going to interact with KDE's automounter? | 17:22 |
| mefisto__ | not sure at all, but you could try it and find out | 17:23 |
| Dashkal | mmm | 17:24 |
| demi | Anyone use Conky? I got the following lines added into my conkyrc to make it transparent. | 17:24 |
| Dashkal | Think I'll go file a bug on this one. Ignoring case on a filesystem that preserves it is not correct beheviour | 17:24 |

| demi | But It wont go transparent it has a slight grey color to the background but not transparent... | 17:25 |

| Havalina | dragging the screen edge :) | 17:38 |
| Havalina | thanks again | 17:38 |

| FuriousGeorge | i have a couple of servers running kubuntu (ltsp), and when running some 3rd party software the time is off by an hour on one of them (in the software) despite the system time being the same. | 17:44 |
| Havalina | mefisto__: well started adept...trying to find were the updates is placed :) | 17:44 |
| FuriousGeorge | i called the software support, and they said it was a utc vs localtime issue | 17:45 |
| noren | i am still fighting to get back the lost space | 17:45 |
| mefisto__ | Havalina: intrepid 8.10 ? kde 4.2 ? | 17:45 |
| Havalina | mefisto__: KDE 4 | 17:46 |
| FuriousGeorge | how can i verify if the server is using localtime or utc? | 17:47 |
| Havalina | mefisto__: think i found it...had to press upgrade | 17:47 |
| Havalina | thats a lot of updates | 17:48 |
| noren | Havalina: it must be around 240 mb of updates | 17:48 |
| mefisto__ | Havalina: adept is a little different depending on which kubuntu and which kde versions you have. that's why I asked | 17:48 |
| Havalina | mefisto__: ohh i see :) well im very new to all this... | 17:49 |
| Havalina | but i think its updating now :) | 17:49 |
| noren | mefisto__: my home folder say its 5.6 gb but my partiotion has has only one gb free ( /home partition 10 gb_) how can i trace that | 17:50 |

| mefisto__ | what was it, noren? | 18:02 |
| noren | mefisto__: i am still trying to confirm if i am right here | 18:05 |
| elirips | Is there a tool available for KDE 4.2 to partition and format drives? I dont find it.. (?) | 18:06 |
| noren | elirips: get ktparted or gparted | 18:07 |
| mefisto__ | qtparted ? | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | elirips, download and burn to a disk GParted live cd ..it's the best partition editor IMO | 18:08 |
| noren | mefisto__: ya typo | 18:09 |
| elirips | thank you | 18:09 |
| Administrator_ | gpart is something like partition manager? | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | Gparted live cd,. or that other systemrescue live cd.. - a must have in the toolbox | 18:09 |
| qcjn | hey Dr_willis | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | Administrator_, if you mean 'like' as in 'totally better' :) yes... | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | Whats up qcjn | 18:10 |
| demi | Will it be safe to delete a script I made in my .kde/Autostart/ ? | 18:10 |
| Administrator_ | i don't see how it is better, it's just a tool to del, create, and resize partiton | 18:10 |
| noren | mefisto__: but qtparted does not give the ext3 option oly ext2 options only | 18:10 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. qtparted lets me format things to ext3 here. | 18:11 |
| Dr_willis | Youi can always format the filesystem outside of gparted if you want. | 18:11 |
| mefisto__ | noren: oh? I thought both were just a frontend for parted and assumed both would have the same functions | 18:11 |
| josh-l | hey, is jaunty worth using yet to have kde 4.2 or is it still really buggy? | 18:11 |
| qcjn | i ve found this "cat /dev/video0 > whatsoever.mpg" to record from my tv card, nad i m searching a wy to put a lenght of time of recording ? | 18:11 |
| Dr_willis | qcjn, thats.. hardcore. :) | 18:12 |
| qcjn | :) | 18:12 |
| qcjn | why is it hard core ? | 18:13 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: some days jaunty is great, other days after upgrades it totally breaks for me. it's not released yet and is constantly changing | 18:13 |
| Dr_willis | qcjn, i much perfer mythtv - it can auto flag/remove comercials :P | 18:14 |
| Dashkal | cat /dev/video0 > vid.mpg & at now + 10m kill %1 (Off the top of my head, no idea if that'll actually work) | 18:14 |
| josh-l | hmm ok thanks mefisto__ i need to reinstall so if jaunty was stable enough i was just going to go to that instead of going through all the updates | 18:14 |
| qcjn | it tried to understand mythtv ? :( | 18:14 |
| qcjn | if you know of a good tutorial | 18:15 |
| qcjn | step by step | 18:15 |
| demi | Hey all I made a "Compiz.sh script in /home/user/.kde/Autostart , and added some lines, and now I removed it but its not getting rid of the settings I added, what do I neeed to do? | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | download/install mythbuntu :) | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | configure card... enjoy. :) | 18:15 |
| Dr_willis | of course now a days the issue with mythtv is often gettting the tvlisting downloaded. :( | 18:15 |
| qcjn | i ve download before mythtv frontend, i have it in my application menu | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | is mythtv still a pita to install ? | 18:16 |
| qcjn | is pita = headache | 18:17 |
| qcjn | kind of | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 18:17 |
| qcjn | ok | 18:17 |
| qcjn | thats what i tought | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | the pain is somewhere else abit lower , but you get my drift | 18:17 |
| qcjn | yep | 18:18 |
| Dr_willis | I dident have much problem with it.. | 18:18 |
| Dr_willis | but im a leet-haxor-dood | 18:18 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 18:18 |
| Dr_willis | and i did spend an hr+ the first time figureing it out. | 18:18 |
| qcjn | and you didn't write a tutorial :( | 18:18 |
| qcjn | for us | 18:18 |
| demi | How do I disable the script I made in .kde/autostart, after I removed the file? | 18:18 |
| qcjn | :) | 18:18 |
| Dr_willis | I followed the wiki pages i recall | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | well, I couldn't get it to work with my ati tvwonder pro card | 18:19 |
| Dr_willis | BlueEagle, yea.. that would be a issue. :) | 18:19 |
| mefisto__ | demi: what was that script doing? | 18:19 |
| qcjn | i have a winttv pvr 150 | 18:19 |
| Dr_willis | i got an ati-all-in-wonder-pro from years ago.. (it dont work) got a not as old hauppage pvr150 that works great | 18:19 |
| demi | Enabling some effects for compiz, but it disabled all of my kde effects form working. | 18:19 |
| Dr_willis | qcjn, if i rcall corrctly on the mythtvsetup proggram i just had to use the proper pulldown menu item to tell it i had that card.. and away it went | 18:20 |
| qcjn | ok, then, do i have to uninstall mythtv frontend first | 18:20 |
| demi | Here is the pastebin of what I did. http://pastebin.com/mbde365f | 18:20 |
| demi | I just want to disable what I did=\ | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | Dr_willis,, i bought a tivo , so i went a different route , now i can send shows back and forth between my pc and the HT on our network using a python app called pyTivo , which also works on windows machines. | 18:21 |
| qcjn | Dr_willis: or just try to install mythubuntu without removing this frontend | 18:22 |
| Dr_willis | I bought a PVR - had a 80gb hd - for $200 a few yrs back. - it works decently well.. but now the Optical drive wont eject. :( a 'bug' with the design.. heh | 18:23 |
| Dr_willis | Mythtv should include both the front and backends | 18:23 |
| Dr_willis | actually for just a media player - i could set up mythtv again on my other machine.. Hmm... | 18:23 |
| mefisto__ | demi: so compiz still starts when you login? | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | a little overkill.. since im not recording anything. Just playing avi files | 18:24 |
| demi | After I removed the script well deleted it yes, and the kde effects dont work though. | 18:24 |
| noren | well is there a way to play vids in amarok ?? :? | 18:24 |
| Dr_willis | amarok is a music player last i looked. | 18:24 |
| khashayar | Does anyone know if there's a bug report filed about KDE's display settings not being able to configure an extended desktop? | 18:25 |
| qcjn | when i look in synaptic, i seem to have install the backend | 18:25 |
| vbgunz | is there a way to temporarily boot into another OS directly from Kubuntu? e.g., rather than choose the OS from gub at boot up, to make the next boot automatically go to another OS once and reboots there after default to normal? | 18:25 |
| mefisto__ | noren: there was a "play video" script for amarok, but I could never get it to work | 18:25 |
| qcjn | no Upnp backend found | 18:27 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, ive seen some disrtos that 'somehow' alter the grub menu.lst 'setdefault' option when they exit. that do that.. but ive not sure how thy do it. :) | 18:28 |
| === root is now known as Guest651 | ||
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, just make a script that properly changes the 'default #' entry in menu.lst | 18:28 |
| vbgunz | Dr_willis: hmm. sounds simple enough. I thought there would be a simpler and already existing method. I remember seeing a grub editor in systemsettings. I think they junked it for Jaunty :( | 18:29 |
| mefisto__ | noren: actually that amarok is working now :) it just opens the file in the amarok playlist in a video player | 18:29 |
| mefisto__ | noren: *amarok script | 18:29 |
| fp | olaa | 18:30 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, i recall redhat doing that once.. but if you think about it.. its not that commonly used a feature.. and really i dont like the idea of somthing tweaking my menu.lst automatically :) | 18:30 |
| noren | ok i m looking at that now | 18:30 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, perhaps with grub2 it will comeback. | 18:30 |
| qcjn | starts with hostname | 18:30 |
| qcjn | is that my user name | 18:30 |
| vbgunz | Dr_willis: heh, I siwtched to Kubuntu from Ubuntu for this very reason a couple years ago. Kubuntu had an eye on more configs though you may have only tweaked them once :) | 18:31 |
| demi | How can I disable a Script form running at startup? | 18:31 |
| tarfart | um... yeah. i downloaded xchm and it sucks becuase the search/find feature doesent work. | 18:31 |
| tarfart | how do i make it work. | 18:31 |
| tarfart | i ran a search on nmap, and it Not works. | 18:31 |
| Tm_T | Guest651: are we rooted now? | 18:32 |
| Dr_willis | !find chm | 18:32 |
| ubottu | Found: fetchmail, archmage, archmbox, chm2pdf, chmsee (and 15 others) | 18:32 |
| mefisto__ | vbgunz: on the kde restart button, do you have a down arrow? if you do, click and hold mouse button and you should get a menu listing your grub boot list | 18:32 |
| noren | mefisto__: i installed that but how to get it started | 18:33 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: wow, imagine that. I don't but that would rock huh :D | 18:33 |
| mefisto__ | noren: make sure it's running (from script manager), then load a video in the playlist. to play video, right-click and "PlayVideos" submenu | 18:34 |
| tarfart | whats wrong with this linux junk. it's not even working! | 18:35 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: that was the most trolling statement I've read so far this year. are you serious? | 18:36 |
| mefisto__ | vbgunz: systemsettings > login manager, shutdown tab, set it to "grub" | 18:36 |
| tarfart | vbgunz: yes, becuase it's failing... woefully | 18:36 |
| noren | mefisto__: only gives me audio no vid | 18:36 |
| mefisto__ | vbgunz: set bootmanager to grub, that is | 18:36 |
| tarfart | again. im running chm, the find function is failing, why? | 18:37 |
| === gabriel_ is now known as titurin | ||
| tarfart | i thought kubuntu was linux for human n00bs. what dependancy or what ever is xchm missing that it's making the end user install? | 18:37 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: I didn't have an arrow on restart *but* had one for shutdown. setting grub as the manager in login manager, well, now I don't have an arrow on shutdown or restart :/ | 18:39 |
| tarfart | linux shit. | 18:39 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: how long have you been a user? | 18:39 |
| tarfart | vbgunz: i just installed intrepid, whats your point. why doesnet someone just answer my question? | 18:39 |
| vbgunz | I ask because if you're comfortable, the only chm viewer I use I need to build though its quite easy. kchmviewer. try apt-get it might be in the repos | 18:39 |
| tarfart | why is xchm not doing it's job | 18:40 |
| tarfart | that one sucks. | 18:40 |
| noren | !info xchm | 18:40 |
| ubottu | xchm (source: xchm): Compiled HTML Help (CHM) file viewer for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 2:1.14-4 (intrepid), package size 171 kB, installed size 748 kB | 18:40 |
| tarfart | i suppose i'll try it | 18:40 |
| tarfart | thats a bit of an extent. | 18:40 |
| tarfart | why wont the linux shit just work in the first place. | 18:40 |
| tarfart | poor design. | 18:40 |
| tarfart | no wander everyone uses windows. | 18:40 |
| LjL | !attitude | 18:41 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 18:41 |
| vbgunz | heh, I can understand the frustration | 18:41 |
| mefisto__ | yeah everything always works in windows and never causes any frustration | 18:41 |
| trpr | :D | 18:41 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: heh. I just installed Windows Server 2008 on this box and wow, the problems right out of the gate were staggering. heh, on the other hand, Kubuntu just worked from A-to-Z. damn its hot :) | 18:42 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: do you have kchmviewer in the repos? | 18:44 |
| vbgunz | I always preferred it to be honest. | 18:44 |
| vbgunz | I still work with chm files so it is definitely invaluable | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | my kubuntu box accesses wife's vista box on our network, whereas the windows 7 partition won't at all | 18:44 |
| tarfart | vbgunz: um... yeah. kchmviewer is god awfull free crap too. | 18:45 |
| tarfart | im using the find function, it says there are no results for nmap, WHEN IM LOOKING RIGHT AT IT IN THE INDEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 18:46 |
| tarfart | linux shit. | 18:46 |
| * Dr_willis notes that chm is a 'windows invention' and there are chm2pdf or other format tools | 18:46 | |
| Dr_willis | but its a moot point. peopkle would rather rant then 'learn' | 18:47 |
| vbgunz | thats not even the point though. its like me burning down the house because the welcome mat doesn't work :( | 18:47 |
| BluesKaj | hehe, i remember being a bit like him about 5 yrs ago | 18:48 |
| mefisto__ | noren: about the play videos script, I notice it opens avi videos in kmplayer (even though kmplayer is not my default player) so maybe installing kmplayer will help the script work | 18:48 |
| tarfart | i hate linux. | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | tarfart, demand a refund then. | 18:49 |
| Dr_willis | I diont even have a chm file handy to test out | 18:49 |
| Dr_willis | ive converted them all to pdf and html | 18:49 |
| tarfart | ugh, kpdf, what a memory hogger. | 18:49 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: linux isn't the problem | 18:49 |

| badpc | or terminal | 18:57 |
| jamesjedimaster | what do you want to update? installed packages? | 18:58 |
| badpc | jamesjedimaster: whole system | 18:58 |
| Haza | Gents, is there any way i can book my kubuntu and skip the disk check? | 18:58 |
| Haza | *boot | 18:58 |
| Dr_willis | I thought ive seen where you can hit escape or ctrl-c to get past it..but its NOT a good idea | 18:58 |
| Dr_willis | on my laptop - if i was on battery it autoskipped it i recall | 18:59 |
| jamesjedimaster | badpc: a version upgrade? | 18:59 |
| badpc | jamesjedimaster: yes | 18:59 |

| siekacz | hi | 19:03 |
| badpc | ty much | 19:03 |
| jamesjedimaster | anytime | 19:03 |
| siekacz | i have a very strange problem withs plasmoids(KDE 4.2.0 from ubuntu backports) | 19:03 |
| siekacz | I can install them with no problems | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | !plasmoids | 19:04 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about plasmoids | 19:04 |
| siekacz | but when i wanna run one i see "Cold not find requested component: xxx | 19:04 |
| mefisto__ | siekacz: all plasmoids? | 19:05 |
| siekacz | standard plasmoids works good | 19:05 |
| siekacz | only installed plasmoids | 19:05 |
| Haza | hmm | 19:05 |
| siekacz | like stasks or magicfolder | 19:05 |
| Haza | ctrl+c does not seem to skil the HD check when booting kubuntu | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | siekacz, http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | 19:05 |
| Haza | Any other idea's? | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | Haza, http://kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | 19:06 |
| siekacz | kubuntu-experimental packages are slow | 19:06 |
| siekacz | and they were more buggy | 19:06 |
| vbgunz | KDE 4.2 is such a godsend over 4.1 I remember upgrading to KDE 4.1 and stopped recommending it to anyone recommending instead Ubuntu (because I dont hate/dislike Gnome) *but* KDE 4.2 gave me the confidence back to recommending it again :) | 19:07 |
| gabriel_ | i thought linux was stable, but it crashes like once a day. Just by using amarok, firefow, dolphin and linuxDC++. On windows, at least not the whole OS freezes when a program crashes :( | 19:09 |
| siekacz | i used gnome, it's OK but... KDE brings something fresh to Linux Desktop, gnome looks like GUIs from XX century :) | 19:09 |
| tarfart | gabriel_: linux shit. | 19:09 |
| tarfart | gabriel_: yeah i usually holler in my cubicle, "Linux Garbage" about 5 times a day | 19:09 |
| jamesjedimaster | gabriel_: sometimes the problem is the hardware, no the software | 19:09 |
| kuaera | gabriel_: It's a rock solid server OS. | 19:09 |
| gabriel_ | siekacz: i agree fully. but ubuntu on gnome has been much more stable than kubuntu on KDE for me :/ | 19:09 |
| Dr_willis | 'fresh/new is not always better.. see vista' | 19:10 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 19:10 |
| tarfart | hey vista made good money | 19:10 |
| kuaera | And don't listen to tarfart. He's been trolling for a couple days. | 19:10 |
| tarfart | thats because i have been running intrepid for a few days | 19:10 |
| tarfart | and it sucks. | 19:10 |
| vbgunz | a couple days really? | 19:10 |
| siekacz | gabriel_: gnome is more stable, kde will be more stable than gnome | 19:10 |
| trpr | i am curious why he is even using it. it sounds like he is being forced. | 19:10 |
| vbgunz | a couple days over chm? | 19:10 |
| * Dr_willis cracks the whip! | 19:10 | |
| siekacz | but not 4.2 or 4.2 | 19:10 |
| gabriel_ | yes, good for server... but i was tired of windows. i really want to run kubuntu, but i had always had stability problems. Sure, I run kde 4.2, but that should be stable enough shouldn't it? Still it's buggy for me | 19:11 |
| siekacz | *4.3 | 19:11 |
| tarfart | no i just started reading today | 19:11 |
| demi | I fixed that script problem, I just deleted ever compiz package I installed. | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | 'demand a refund' | 19:11 |
| siekacz | i think 4.4 will be stable enouugh :) | 19:11 |
| tarfart | there are other linux flaws i have been hollering at | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | demi, that can cause other issues. :) | 19:11 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: are you using Jaunty or Intrepid? | 19:11 |
| tarfart | the kde 4 sucks | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | kde4 is not 'linux' techincally.. so your argument is invalid. | 19:11 |
| tarfart | the whole linux shit what ever | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | its just a tool. | 19:11 |
| gabriel_ | vbgunz: 8.10 | 19:11 |
| tarfart | it's all linux shit. | 19:11 |
| jamesjedimaster | not an excuse | 19:12 |
| demi | lol | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | tarfart, whatever.. whatever whatever.. youve not really been impressing people with your knowledge.. | 19:12 |
| tarfart | vbgunz: and what does how long i have been running intrepid have to do with anything | 19:12 |
| trpr | ... unable to distinguish between linux and the software running on it | 19:12 |
| kuaera | gabriel_: Running Kubuntu Jaunty. Rock solid. | 19:12 |
| badpc | I run kde4.2 just fine maybe your pc is the problem | 19:12 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: yeah, but ubuntu crashes big time way more often than windows. just a total freeze. can't do shit. | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | Im using Jwm + rox filer. | 19:12 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: from what I read so far, this'll probably make sense to you. When an app doesn't work or do what you want on Windows, do you blame Windows? if you do, maybe you're the shit :) | 19:12 |
| noren_ | tarfart: if u dont wanna use then dont | 19:12 |
| tarfart | trpr: it's all from the same repo of "free crap that never works" | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, ive rarely had ubuntu crash.. and vista crashes on me.. daily.. so Your mileage may vary. | 19:12 |
| kuaera | tarfart: I have a linux server in the other room with an uptime of...about three months. | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | 'compiz' or 3rd party drivers - are normally the reasion i see crashes in linux. | 19:13 |
| kuaera | When the power went out. For a week. | 19:13 |
| vbgunz | yeah, Jaunty isn't rock solid for me *but* I know this is true of alpha software 90% of the time. I expect it | 19:13 |
| tarfart | i never really experienced anything on windows that gave me crap | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | Ive had tons of crap under windows.. so 'your mileage may vary' | 19:13 |
| trpr | tarfart: again. what is your motivation? i am surprised you are still in here - as far as I can tell you are just trolling and not actually seeking support | 19:13 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: i run nvidia drivers, the recommended ones | 19:13 |
| noren_ | tarfart: then jsut go back to windows | 19:13 |
| tarfart | well it costs money. | 19:13 |
| tarfart | and hard drives dont come with windows. | 19:13 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: imagine if you did. went to #windows and complained how windows is crap, what do you think the response would be? heh, to be honest, with your arguments, you might as well cry about your detergent or doctor here cause it'll make the same sense :) | 19:14 |
| tarfart | i guess you get what you pay for. | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, and nvidia wont totaly open source them.. they can be the problem. | 19:14 |
| demi | BS download windows corp from torrents=) | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | tarfart, demand a refund then. | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | demi, shame shame. :P | 19:14 |
| * tarfart downloads xp corporate from aMule | 19:14 | |
| demi | I will refuse to use apps like that. | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | demi, and we all know that 'tinyxp' is better :) | 19:15 |
| tarfart | i like aMule it has tons of neat stuff | 19:15 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: well... i doubt it, because ubuntu has run fine. it's alwasys when i try kubuntu i have problems. | 19:15 |
| vbgunz | Dr_willis: I have an nForce 750a Sli Motherboard with an NVIDIA chipset and everything works out of the box pretty flawlessly. The only driver I needed manually was the graphics driver :) | 19:15 |
| demi | It's just KDE 4.2 or any kde 4 lol | 19:15 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, there are some issues with kde4 and the nvidia drivers from what i gather. KDE4 is still a work in progress in many areas | 19:15 |
| demi | Once it makes it to 4.5+ is when it will be more solid. | 19:15 |
| kuaera | KDE 4 was adopted very prematurely | 19:15 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, my netbook is 100% out of the box. :) | 19:15 |
| demi | so far my ATI Drivers run great on kde 4 | 19:16 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: i'm starting to think it might be amarok. If i play a video (any player), and then fire up amarok, and PAUSE it, i get artifacts in my video playback. But ONLY when i PAUSE amarok. funny or what? | 19:16 |
| vbgunz | demi: but thats when 5 will be release and Kubuntu force upgrades to it ;) | 19:16 |
| tarfart | oh and fglrx doesent even work. | 19:16 |
| Dr_willis | kuaera, yep.. and thats been argued to death. but they forced it out to get work done on it.. | 19:16 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, that is weird. | 19:16 |
| kuaera | Dr_willis: Hell, now I'm even helping on it. | 19:16 |
| demi | One thing I dont like about this new KDE4 is the plasmoid desktop stuff, I preferred the good old icons... | 19:16 |
| tarfart | product: RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] | 19:17 |
| tarfart | yes fglrx doesent work | 19:17 |
| Dr_willis | tarfart, so? | 19:17 |
| kuaera | tarfart: fglrx is closed source. Not Open Source's fault, or linux's. Get lost. | 19:17 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: yes, i can reproduce the bug at will | 19:17 |
| demi | Im using Radeon X1800 XT, and they work great I had to do a system upgrade though | 19:17 |
| Dr_willis | but ati claimed to open the drivers! | 19:17 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 19:17 |
| demi | But it probably just needed the xorg ati driver file updated I reckon | 19:17 |
| siekacz | ati drivers still sucks | 19:17 |
| siekacz | :) | 19:17 |
| mefisto__ | tarfart: I have the same ati card and fglrx works perfectly | 19:18 |
| josh-l | is there something special i need to do to be able to install koffice on intrpid (running kde 4.2) ? | 19:18 |
| badpc | knowledge is the key to the universe! | 19:18 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: have you tried Ubuntu? same version? if you constantly crash then maybe it is in the under lying code shared across *ubuntu distros else, chances are it'll all be fixed in 4.2 which I find a whole lot better and more solid | 19:19 |
| siekacz | ati won't support xserver 1.6 in catalyst 9.3 | 19:19 |
| tarfart | mefisto__: how did you make it work? i enabled it under Kmenu > System > Hardware Drivers | 19:19 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: i really like ubuntu.. except i want to run kde, it looks so much nicer | 19:19 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, i dont even find kde looking that much nicer.. its 'shiny' :) but often its the old bluejeans that fit better then the new Polyester pants. | 19:19 |
| tarfart | mefisto__: if i attempted to install fglrx "by hand", then ran dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ; and then enabled fglx drivers System > Hardware Drivers | 19:20 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: that sometimes doesn't work compared to getting the driver directly from your vendor and installing it with there package. my nvidia drivers works better direct from nvidia. at this point I just use there driver direct | 19:20 |
| tarfart | shouldnt it work? | 19:20 |
| gabriel_ | vbgunz: yes i have run ubuntu 8.10 before this, and i had no problems at all. now i run kubuntu 8.19 with kde4.2 | 19:20 |
| tarfart | umm | 19:20 |
| demi | is it kde 4.2.1 in the backports or just 4.2.0? | 19:20 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: 8.19 must be the deal, is that like 9.04+ 6? | 19:20 |
| vbgunz | 9.10? | 19:20 |
| tarfart | ok so kde has a function, System > Hardware Drivers, and it doesent always work? | 19:20 |
| vbgunz | heh, my math is bad :( | 19:20 |
| demi | tarfart did you do a system upgrade? | 19:21 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: yes but the old bluejeans are not very fashionable, so you will not get laid :P | 19:21 |
| tarfart | demi: i ran apt-get update yeah if thats what you mean. | 19:21 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, at my age.. thats not a problem i worry about... | 19:21 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: its always a work in progress. not exactly a bad thing though. trying the driver direct from ATI is an option | 19:21 |
| tarfart | ok | 19:21 |
| Dr_willis | !ati | 19:21 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 19:21 |
| gabriel_ | i mean 8.10 of course | 19:21 |
| kuaera | Dr_willis: Polyesther? I think it's more like Emperor's New Clothes: Oxygen | 19:21 |
| tarfart | vbgunz: i thought i read some where, that installing directly from the vendor is the least recomended thing to do, and to do it the "ubuntu way." i'll try that. | 19:21 |
| Dr_willis | ive had such good luck with built in Intel video cards.. i wonder if they make pciexpress cards... | 19:21 |
| mefisto__ | tarfart: I had to edit xorg.conf to fix resolution and fix a video playback bug | 19:22 |
| kuaera | Editing xorg.conf is a thing of the past with Jaunty :) | 19:22 |
| gabriel_ | demi: i think 4.2.1 | 19:22 |
| vbgunz | tarfart: the more you learn, the more you enjoy when things start working better than shipped. took me years to get here *but* I swear, you dim your attitude, realize whats really at fault, ask help without bitching and well, you might take years to learn too | 19:23 |
| josh-l | i got some sort of error when installing koffice-kde4 but it apparently installed somehow, now though I cant start kword for example | 19:24 |
| gabriel_ | also, can it really be like that in linux, that ONE program crashing can cause the whole OS freezing? That's like win95 syndome :/ | 19:24 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: I never experienced that in 3+ years but maybe once | 19:25 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: quick question. are you using ext4? if so, I believe its a known problem | 19:25 |
| gabriel_ | no, ext3 | 19:25 |
| josh-l | anyone know what the deal with installing koffice is ? | 19:25 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: damn, not sure what to say. if you can reliably reproduce a freeze I am certain someone would definitely help you out | 19:26 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: I think the koffice packages conflict with some of the kde4.2 packages | 19:26 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, when a program crashes the video card drivers.. yes it can 'freeze' the desktop. :) but often you can still ssh in.. so the system is not totally frozen | 19:27 |
| gabriel_ | i was watching a movie that was downloading in linuxDC++. Appearantly, when a download is finished it removes the temp file, so the movie player cannot read it anymore. So sometimes i had to restart the movie. but other times, i think it might have crashed because of that | 19:27 |
| vbgunz | kuaera: why do you say editing xorg is a thing of the past with Jaunty? I still edit it. a new tool or something? | 19:27 |
| Dr_willis | Ive a few machines with no xorg.conf to edit. :) all automated | 19:27 |
| gabriel_ | vbgunz: no i cannot reproduce a freeze at will. only the video artifacts when pausing amarok | 19:27 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: after i ssh in, how do i restart X? | 19:28 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, restart the kdm/gdm service is one way | 19:28 |
| Dr_willis | or kill the X process | 19:28 |
| Dr_willis | sudo service kdm restart | 19:28 |
| gabriel_ | aha | 19:29 |
| tarfart | mefisto__: can i see your xorg.conf? or what you added. and how do you fix this video playback bug | 19:29 |
| Dr_willis | amazing logical eh? :) | 19:29 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: well, i don't know the commands, that's all | 19:29 |
| mefisto__ | tarfart: ok, give me a minute | 19:29 |
| tarfart | thanx | 19:30 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, sudo reboot :) is also handy | 19:30 |
| josh-l | how can I fix a broken package from apt command line? | 19:30 |
| Dr_willis | bye all bbl | 19:30 |
| demi | Josh, you hsould just stick with openoffice=) | 19:30 |
| carpii | i just grabbed kdenlive from the kubuntu repo's, but when i run it, it just crashes immediately, every time. The debug output says 'this backtrace is of no use' | 19:30 |
| gabriel_ | Dr_willis: i just wish it wouldn't crash like that | 19:32 |
| josh-l | demi: I wanted to give koffice a go, but if its not possible then just removing and fixing whatever problems it created installing is fine | 19:32 |
| kuaera | vbgunz: I deleted my xorg.conf. Everything is automatically configured for me. | 19:32 |
| kuaera | vbgunz: I edited HAL configuration a little bit, TBH | 19:33 |
| kuaera | Wanted two finger scrolling on my touchpad in both X and Y, and no side-scrolling | 19:33 |
| vbgunz | kuaera: hmm, you settled on defaults. it works most of the time. I hand edit mines because of custom resolutions, nvidia, twinview, 5 button mouse, etc. mostly custom resolutions though has me editing it | 19:34 |
| josh-l | there has got to be a way to install koffice... how silly that because it renames icons you cant use it | 19:35 |
| kuaera | vbgunz: Well, this is an old Thinkpad T42 - a simple 1024x768 with Synaptics devices | 19:35 |
| giles | hi | 19:35 |
| demi | <josh-l> I have nto tried installing Koffice. | 19:35 |
| giles | I am getting Package libmsn0.1 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 19:36 |
| vbgunz | giles: try just libmsn | 19:37 |
| mefisto__ | tarfart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/130768/ but don't use my modeline, generate one that will work for your monitor with gtf or cvt. and backup your working xorg.conf before changing anything | 19:37 |
| giles | E: Couldn't find package libmsn | 19:38 |
| tarfart | ok thanx | 19:38 |
| vbgunz | giles: tab from that point libmsn<tab>, anything else? | 19:38 |
| josh-l | so does ANYONE use koffice on intrepid? | 19:38 |
| anass | problem with kdevelop can compile a simple project | 19:38 |
| tarfart | mefisto__: im running xorg version ---> X.Org version: 1.5.2 | 19:38 |
| tarfart | mefisto__: you? | 19:38 |
| anass | i get premmission denided to creat /.libs | 19:38 |
| anass | why is that | 19:38 |
| tarfart | xdpyinfo|head | 19:39 |
| vbgunz | anass: you mean ./.libs? | 19:39 |
| tarfart | Xorg -version | 19:39 |
| vbgunz | anass: or ./libs? | 19:39 |
| giles | vbgunz: yep 0.1 | 19:39 |
| anass | nor i means /.libs | 19:39 |
| anass | in the rout folder | 19:39 |
| vbgunz | you're messing with the root, you need sudo to make that directory | 19:39 |
| tarfart | mefisto__:And, am i going to have to fix this video playback bug | 19:39 |
| vbgunz | sudo mkdir /.libs | 19:40 |
| anass | because i created with my root privelege i dont gee the problem but it still can't be compiled | 19:40 |
| giles | vbgunz: sudo apt-get install libmsn<tab> yeilds | 19:40 |
| mefisto__ | tarfart: 1.4.0.90 (in kubuntu hardy right now) | 19:40 |
| vbgunz | anass: honestly, you should probably scrap it and recompile with your priviledges only if possible | 19:40 |
| giles | vbgunz: sudo apt-get install libmsn0.1 | 19:40 |
| tarfart | Option "TexturedVideo" "on" | 19:40 |
| anass | but i'm wondering why the compilation of a simple programme should create a folder in the root | 19:41 |
| tarfart | mefisto__: thanx pal | 19:41 |
| anass | ok i will try it | 19:41 |
| vbgunz | giles: I have it in Jaunty repos, are you something earlier than Jaunty? your app may work on Jaunty only? | 19:41 |
| sixofour | !gimp | 19:41 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 19:41 |
| mefisto__ | tarfart: this site might help too: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu | 19:42 |
| giles | vbgunz: i am using intrepid 8.10 with the ppa for kde 4.2.1, I am tring to install kopete which I had installed before. | 19:42 |
| josh-l | so does ANYONE use koffice on intrepid? | 19:42 |
| noren_ | josh-l: yes i do , koffice | 19:43 |
| josh-l | noren_: how did you install it, ive tried and its broken, and it even says so on kubuntu.org | 19:43 |
| vbgunz | giles: not sure, did you enable all repos you could? | 19:44 |
| noren_ | josh-l: i was using it before i upgraded to kde 4.2 | 19:44 |
| josh-l | noren_: and after? | 19:45 |
| giles | vbgunz: what do you mean | 19:45 |
| sixofour | how do i join a second irc server in konvorsation? | 19:45 |
| noren_ | josh-l: now open officcccce | 19:45 |
| vbgunz | giles: you can try http://libmsn.sourceforge.net if worse comes to worse | 19:45 |
| giles | I have the source | 19:45 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: I did get it installed using dpkg with --force-overwrite and from memory the only files that were clashing were icons. but be careful if you decide to try it | 19:45 |
| giles | even compiled it | 19:45 |
| josh-l | noren_: have you tried using koffice since upgrading to kde 4.2? | 19:45 |
| Dr_willis | !info quassel | 19:46 |
| ubottu | quassel (source: quassel): distributed, Qt based, IRC client using a central core component. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-0ubuntu9 (intrepid), package size 2246 kB, installed size 4236 kB | 19:46 |
| vbgunz | giles: I am not sure where the libmsn0.1 deb package lives. it may live in main I would think but am not sure. maybe it is in another repo? | 19:46 |
| giles | vbgunz: I just need to let dpkg know that I have it somehow | 19:46 |
| vbgunz | giles: then cd into the directory with the deb and say sudo dpkg -i yourpackage.deb | 19:46 |
| gabriel_ | can i run ubuntus backage manager instead of kubuntus? adept sucks compared to synaptic or whatever it was called... | 19:46 |
| gabriel_ | package manager* | 19:46 |
| josh-l | mefisto__: were you able to use it? | 19:46 |
| Dr_willis | gabriel_, install synaptic and have fun | 19:47 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: yes | 19:47 |
| vbgunz | gabriel_: sure | 19:47 |
| gabriel_ | good | 19:47 |
| giles | vbgunz: I don't think the error is saying that it cannot find the package | 19:47 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: I think the koffice packages came from a ppa (from memory, same one that has amarok 2) | 19:47 |
| noren_ | josh-l: Remove the koffice-data-kde4 package if you have it installed. The current koffice2 packages in the kubuntu-members-kde4 PPA are incompatible with the KDE 4.2 packages since they try to install icons to the same locations.v | 19:47 |
| giles | its saying that : | 19:47 |
| giles | vbgunz: | 19:47 |
| giles | Package libmsn0.1 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 19:48 |
| giles | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 19:48 |
| giles | is only available from another source | 19:48 |
| giles | E: Package libmsn0.1 has no installation candidate | 19:48 |
| josh-l | stop that | 19:48 |
| giles | sorry | 19:48 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: I'm not on intrepid right now, so can't be absolutely sure | 19:48 |
| noren_ | josh-l: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 | 19:48 |
| vbgunz | giles: compile libmsn from the sourceforge link I have you else you can try finding a deb of libmsn0.1 already created and install it first | 19:48 |
| josh-l | yeah i read that | 19:48 |
| giles | vbgunz: ok but how do I install kopete? | 19:49 |
| josh-l | pretty silly that because of icons i cant install it properly | 19:49 |
| vbgunz | giles: you're going to have to satisfy the dependency first | 19:49 |
| vbgunz | giles: why did you compile kopete? you couldn't get it from repos? | 19:50 |
| carpii | i just grabbed kdenlive from the kubuntu repo's, but when i run it, it just crashes immediately, every time. The debug output says 'this backtrace is of no use' | 19:50 |
| giles | I didn't compile kopete | 19:52 |
| mefisto__ | giles: libmsn0.1 is in backports | 19:52 |
| josh-l | whats the latest kubuntu jaunty release? | 19:53 |
| josh-l | alpha 5? | 19:53 |
| giles | has it moved recently there? | 19:53 |
| giles | mefisto__: ? | 19:53 |
| mefisto__ | giles: don't know. I found it searching http://packages.ubuntu.com | 19:53 |
| giles | ok ta | 19:53 |
| gabriel_ | it seems my ntfs partitions aren't automounted, what is the easiest way to remedy that? | 19:53 |
| noren_ | josh-l: me downloading alfa 6 | 19:54 |
| mefisto__ | gabriel_: simplest way is using ntfs-config | 19:55 |
| giles | mefisto__: now I cant find the deb source url for backports | 19:55 |
| gabriel_ | mefisto__: so i need to install a little proggie? | 19:56 |
| mefisto__ | giles: kdesudo software-properties-kde and in updates tab, enable "unsupported updates" | 19:56 |
| gabriel_ | doing it now | 19:57 |
| mefisto__ | gabriel_: yes, it's just a simple gui with I think two checkboxes | 19:57 |
| gabriel_ | mefisto__: so i guess it edited fstab? where was that file located again? | 20:02 |
| mefisto__ | gabriel_: /etc/fstab | 20:03 |
| gabriel_ | cool :) | 20:04 |
| adi3 | hi all | 20:05 |
| mefisto__ | gabriel_: so it worked? it added a line in fstab for you ntfs partition? | 20:05 |

| mjheagle8 | anyone here use kubuntu 9.04? | 20:06 |
| Pici | mjheagle8: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. | 20:06 |
| adi3 | in about:plugins I have 6 adobe flash but still cant read youtube | 20:07 |
| mjheagle8 | Pici: okay thanks. they do kubuntu too? | 20:07 |
| adi3 | anyone any idea | 20:07 |
| Pici | mjheagle8: Indeed | 20:07 |
| mjheagle8 | Pici: now switching. thanks :) | 20:07 |
| mefisto__ | adi3: flash plugin is listed 6 times? | 20:07 |
| adi3 | yes | 20:07 |
| mefisto__ | adi3: you should just have one | 20:08 |
| adi3 | I don't know how but this is my konqueror | 20:08 |
| adi3 | well I can tell for one of them cause I installed myself but for firefox ino /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 20:09 |
| mefisto__ | ah, ok. I thought you meant firefox about:plugins | 20:09 |
| adi3 | konqueror... | 20:09 |
| adi3 | i like this konqueror but I think I cant live without gmail noscript downthemall and greasemonkey plugins | 20:10 |
| adi3 | that I have on firefox | 20:10 |
| carpii | so use firefox | 20:10 |
| adi3 | but firefox in kde is horrible | 20:10 |
| * carpii shrugs | 20:10 | |
| carpii | its ok i find | 20:11 |
| adi3 | and speed in konqueror is awsome | 20:11 |
| adi3 | as alway cant have both | 20:11 |
| carpii | theres always a tradeoff between speed and functionality though | 20:11 |
| carpii | you could try opera | 20:12 |
| adi3 | no im not opera kinda guy | 20:12 |
| adi3 | allready tried | 20:12 |
| sixofour | opera is spiffy | 20:12 |

| josh-l | okay this is obnoxious, i recently installed intrepid, i'm now ttrying to burn a cd... k3b doesnt detect it... | 20:17 |
| josh-l | help | 20:17 |
| mefisto__ | adi3: an older version of libflashplayer.so might work with konqueror. look for version 9 flash plugin at adobe.com and put the .so file somewhere other than the proper path (eg /home/adi/oldflashplugin/ ), then point konqueror to that path in konq settings > plugins | 20:17 |
| josh-l | arrgh what a disaster | 20:20 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: doesn't detect the blank CD? | 20:21 |
| josh-l | mefisto__: no! | 20:21 |
| Haza | Ive just upgraded to kde 4.2 and for some reason some of my widgets are coming up as "Unknown Widget" | 20:22 |
| Haza | Simple ones like "Show Desktop" ect | 20:22 |
| Haza | Any thoughts? | 20:22 |
| mefisto__ | josh-l: look in k3b settings, programs. anything in there that's missing that looks like it should be there? | 20:26 |
| josh-l | mefisto__: no, it seems to be burning via cli though | 20:26 |
| mefisto__ | Haza: which ones don't work? maybe try apt-get removing them, apt-get clean, then apt-get install again | 20:32 |
| Haza | mefisto__: I can remove individual widgets? | 20:32 |
| * Haza is new to this | 20:32 | |
| Haza | mefisto__: do they have a prefix or suffix to identify them? | 20:33 |
| mefisto__ | Haza: most are plasmoid-whatever and some are plasma-widget-whatever and there is the kdeplasmoids metapackage which installs the default ones | 20:34 |
| Haza | mefisto__: Okay. Interesting to know. Thank you | 20:35 |
| mefisto__ | Haza: if you do apt-cache search plasm that should list them all (plus a few other packages probably) | 20:35 |
| Haza | mefisto__: Another interesting apy command. Cheers :) | 20:36 |
| Haza | *apt | 20:36 |
| mefisto__ | Haza: apt-cache show <package-name> will show info on individual packages too | 20:37 |
| mariuz | i wonder why kde4.2 is so slow on intel boards, maybe i should disable plasma , anyone did some profiling work ? | 20:38 |

| kuaera | Does anyone know how to perform a dist-upgrade from a commandline? :/ | 21:31 |
| senorpedro | yes, me | 21:31 |
| senorpedro | aptitude dist-upgrade | 21:32 |
| mefisto__ | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 21:32 |
| kuaera | Okays. | 21:32 |
| senorpedro | sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 21:32 |
| kuaera | I'm trying to get distcc with zeroconf support, so. | 21:32 |
| Dr_willis | what? a program that actually uses zeroconf? | 21:32 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 21:33 |
| senorpedro | what is zeroconf? | 21:33 |
| Dr_willis | !info zeroconf | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Package zeroconf does not exist in intrepid | 21:33 |
| mefisto__ | kuaera: or do you mean you want to upgrade from one kubuntu version to the next? | 21:33 |
| Dr_willis | a way for services and stuff to see/confgure automatically | 21:33 |
| senorpedro | like autotools? | 21:33 |
| Dr_willis | !zeroconf | 21:33 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about zeroconf | 21:33 |
| Dr_willis | never heard of autotools | 21:33 |
| senorpedro | never did ./configure && make && make install? | 21:34 |
| Dr_willis | then the 2 are totally unrelated | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | if thats what youia re refering to | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | zeroconf configures MACHINES and servers to see each other properly over the network | 21:35 |
| senorpedro | ah ok | 21:35 |
| Dr_willis | not ./configure :) | 21:35 |
| senorpedro | i thought it was for configuring packages | 21:36 |
| senorpedro | neverming | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | nothign to do at all with that. :) | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | its all about letting this video server get seen by the clients and so forth.. or other services | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | and yve not seen it actually used by anything.. YET. :) | 21:36 |
| mefisto__ | marek__: still around? | 21:36 |
| senorpedro | appearently it is used by distcc | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | apaemntly it can be.. but ive not used distcc since my gentoo days | 21:37 |

| bigjocker | there's an inconsistency with gtk-qt-engine in eclipse ... even if you sonfigure KDE to not use an alternate color, eclipse and some other GTK apps will use one ... | 22:10 |
| bigjocker | I apt-get sourced gtk-qt-engine and modified wrapper.c to ommit the alternate color, recompiled and installed the new deb ... that solved my problem | 22:11 |

| thepizzanator | does anyone know of a torrent of the kubuntu 8.10 ISO for AMD64 that actually works? | 22:30 |
| thepizzanator | because this whole upgrade over the internet isn't doing it for me | 22:30 |
| thepizzanator | if not, if someone could make one that would be awesome :) | 22:30 |
| thepizzanator | i tried upgrading over the internet, but my modem's power cable fell out at 99% :/ | 22:31 |
| thepizzanator | i am so cheezed | 22:31 |
| thepizzanator | it gave me an error and it said that it kept the files, but when i tried to upgrade again it had to start over :/ | 22:32 |
| thepizzanator | i really wish the people who made this os would integrate bittorrent into the distro upgrader, that way lots of people downloading it would actually make it faster instead of painfully slow | 22:33 |
| thepizzanator | sorry for the spam guys >> | 22:34 |
| bigjocker | thepizzanator, try running in a console: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 22:36 |
| thepizzanator | i'll try that... i already started redownloading the upgrade, am i screwed? | 22:36 |
| thepizzanator | by the way this isn't the computer with linux on it so i'll be afk for a sec... thanks for the help | 22:37 |
| === david is now known as Destice | ||
| thepizzanator | okay i have a window on my screen asking me if i want to start the upgrade | 22:37 |
| thepizzanator | i assume i say no and type what you said in the terminal? | 22:37 |
| cjae | ok I filed a bug report about seperate x screens not working (nvidia)in kubuntu and got a reply that says Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 (Ubuntu) so that means if I update then I should be able to do separate x screens right | 22:38 |
| thepizzanator | bah :/ | 22:39 |
| thepizzanator | it says the download should take 15 minutes w/ my connection, last time it took 10 hours | 22:39 |
| cjae | I am just no quite sure if it means it was fixed or if they changed how the bug would be dealt with | 22:39 |
| thepizzanator | your guess is as good as mine. lol | 22:40 |
| cajun | quick question. if I have multiple users on a system running (K)ubuntu, does each user have all of their own settings, including window manager, effects, etc? I use awn and I'd like to know if all users will have it running. | 22:43 |
| mefisto__ | thepizzanator: there are torrents here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt did you try those and they did not work? | 22:43 |
| cajun | it would be easier to allow each user to make his own decision on interface. | 22:44 |
| jamesjedimaster | cajun: each user has their own settings | 22:44 |
| === carlosgsp is now known as viixi | ||
| cajun | awesome. thanks | 22:44 |
| Dragnslicer | cajun- any sane program stores settings in the user's home directory | 22:44 |
| cajun | that's what i thought but i have no experience with multiple users on a system yet. | 22:45 |
| cajun | i'm glad i can customize all i want to without affecting other users. | 22:45 |
| jamesjedimaster | each user settings are stored under .kde directory | 22:45 |
| cajun | awesome. another question...if i have awn running under gnome, does it automatically run under kde also? | 22:46 |
| viixi | hi | 22:46 |
| Dragnslicer | The only programs that just have global settings (usually stored in /etc) are system-level programs or servers (Apache, sshd, etc.) | 22:46 |
| Dragnslicer | Gnome and KDE can run programs written for the other, though they might look strange | 22:47 |
| Destice | hey guys. is kubuntu stable yet? | 22:47 |
| mefisto__ | cajun: does awn work in kde? | 22:48 |
| cajun | haven't tried it. according to threads i've seen it seems to | 22:48 |
| cajun | i did a search and apparently a lot of people are getting it to work | 22:49 |
| Dragnslicer | Destice- when wasn't it stable? | 22:49 |
| thepizzanator_ | can someone scroll up and see who the person who helped me is? i think his name was something with jock in it | 22:49 |
| thepizzanator_ | i didn't have the underscore before | 22:49 |
| Destice | lol I always had problems with KDE on my computer with Ubuntu, so I always used gnome | 22:49 |
| Destice | I think it was because of my hardware tho | 22:49 |
| mefisto__ | cajun: ok, just that I haven't tried awn in a looong time. maybe I'll give it a try | 22:49 |
| codecyphix | reset keyboard? | 22:49 |
| Dragnslicer | thepizzanator- bigjocker? | 22:50 |
| thepizzanator | eyah thanks :) | 22:50 |
| cajun | well i installed kubuntu but had issues with KDE recently so i've been using gnome | 22:50 |
| thepizzanator | yeah* | 22:50 |
| codecyphix | typing delay | 22:50 |
| thepizzanator_ | bigjocker: can you help me out with this? i' | 22:50 |
| thepizzanator_ | m a little lost | 22:50 |
| codecyphix | help | 22:50 |
| cajun | i really like awn a lot. i am very happy with it. I've been using it for a few weeks and haven't really had any problems with it. | 22:50 |
| Dragnslicer | Destice- depends on what version of KDE. KDE 4.2 works quite well for me. 4.1 and 4.0 weren't quite ready for general use | 22:50 |
| thepizzanator_ | or maybe someone else can.. ? | 22:50 |
| thepizzanator_ | i was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 and my internet disconnected right at the end | 22:51 |
| Destice | Ahh.... I remember when I tried the Kubuntu beta edition, the custumizability of it was just awful. I couldn't get it to auto-login or anything | 22:51 |
| thepizzanator_ | i'm trying to recover the files or something | 22:51 |
| thepizzanator_ | so i don | 22:51 |
| Destice | Is that better now? | 22:51 |
| codecyphix | tried rebooting. works until kde | 22:51 |
| thepizzanator_ | bah, i hate the placement of the enter key on this keyboard | 22:51 |
| thepizzanator_ | i ran the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 22:52 |
| codecyphix | i have to hold the keys for 2sec | 22:52 |
| thepizzanator_ | could anyone guide me through this? i have no idea what to choose for some of these options | 22:52 |
| mefisto__ | thepizzanator_: ok, maybe ask about the individual options you're not sure about | 22:53 |
| thepizzanator_ | okay | 22:53 |
| codecyphix | thank god i fixed it | 22:53 |
| thepizzanator_ | hold on | 22:54 |
| codecyphix | that was painful | 22:54 |
| thepizzanator_ | do i want system wide readable home directories? | 22:54 |
| thepizzanator_ | i can't see that being a problem | 22:54 |
| thepizzanator_ | no one else uses this box | 22:55 |
| thepizzanator_ | is it a security risk for hackers or w/e? | 22:55 |
| thepizzanator_ | i'll say yes, i'm not going to add more users anyways.. | 22:55 |
| mefisto__ | thepizzanator_: that choice is ok. most default choices will be what you want I think | 22:57 |
| thepizzanator_ | okay | 22:57 |
| thepizzanator_ | i hit esc too many times and had to restart the thing... | 22:57 |
| thepizzanator_ | ok, do i want to trust new CA certificates? | 22:58 |
| thepizzanator_ | default is y so i'll do that | 22:58 |
| thepizzanator_ | ok, this part i have no clue about: which certificates do i want to activate? | 22:58 |
| thepizzanator_ | the choices are: | 22:58 |

| thepizzanator | kubuntu 8.04 i believe, was originally ubuntu 8.04 | 23:08 |
| thepizzanator | bascially ubuntu 8.04 w/ kde installed | 23:08 |
| thepizzanator | i'm in kubuntu right now | 23:08 |
| thepizzanator | kde* | 23:08 |
| ubuntu_ | thepizzanator: is the prob remain same in ubuntu and kubuntu | 23:09 |
| thepizzanator | pretty much, yeah | 23:09 |
| thepizzanator | kubuntu seems to have fixed some of the glitches | 23:09 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: try to apt-get update and upgrade ? | 23:09 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: I had similar errors on a jaunty install and after upgrading 20 or so packages plasma started working again | 23:09 |
| thepizzanator | you know what... i'll just look for those blank cds and burn the iso to a cd | 23:10 |
| thepizzanator | the iso is d/ling way faster on this comp than the internet upgrade was on my linux box | 23:10 |
| ubuntu_ | mefisto__: i mm stuck mid way have mounted the iso and booted into it now i cant install the damn thing | 23:11 |
| thepizzanator | it would be nice to not have to go throught he trouble since i downloaded 98% of the files already and all | 23:11 |
| trpr | probably because the iso is one file while the upgrade is hundreds | 23:12 |
| thepizzanator_ | yeah | 23:12 |
| ubuntu_ | thepizzanator: for a better experience of kde do a frresh install of kubuntu its always betteer than installing kde onnn ubuntu | 23:13 |
| thepizzanator | that's what i'm doing :) | 23:13 |
| thepizzanator | found the cds :D | 23:13 |
| thepizzanator | why didn't i do this sooner... one hour as opposed to 10 | 23:14 |
| thepizzanator | and it works way better anyways... oh well, that's how you learn right ;) | 23:14 |
| mefisto__ | ubuntu_: so this is the livecd? you haven't installed yet? | 23:14 |
| thepizzanator | this is me on my mac which is downloading the iso, the other pizzanator is me on my computer which is running ubuntu 8.04 off the hard disk, with kde installed | 23:15 |
| ubuntu_ | mefisto__: no i was trying to install the kubuntu 64 bit without burning the cd... but now i m stuck it just does not show any partiotion while installing the new distro | 23:15 |

| cajun | i upgraded from 8.4 | 23:19 |
| thepizzanator | what kind of upgrade did you do? | 23:19 |
| ubuntu_ | ok time to logout bye eveeery one | 23:20 |
| thepizzanator | like.. over the internet, live cd | 23:20 |
| cajun | i installed 8.04 and later upgraded over the internet | 23:21 |
| cajun | i believe through dist-upgrade | 23:21 |
| mefisto__ | cajun: kded4 --version will give you the kde4 version | 23:21 |
| cajun | ah. | 23:21 |
| cajun | ok. i have 4.2 | 23:21 |
| * cajun is no longer confused | 23:21 | |
| cajun | thanks for your help. | 23:21 |
| mefisto__ | kde3 libs are there for the kde3 apps | 23:21 |
| cajun | what is the preferred compositing manager for kde 4.2? | 23:22 |
| cajun | compiz doesn't seem to be working at all | 23:22 |
| cajun | i use both gnome and kde4 | 23:22 |
| mefisto__ | kwin has compositing. desktop effects | 23:22 |
| cajun | ok. that won't interfere with compiz under gnome right? | 23:23 |
| thepizzanator | mefisto__: do you happen to know what the system requirememnts are for kwin? if you could beep my name and tell them to me when you get a chance... or anyone else that knows... | 23:23 |
| thepizzanator | thanks | 23:23 |
| thepizzanator | i can't find them anywhere. | 23:24 |
| mefisto__ | thepizzanator: kwin is the kde window manager, so it should just work. if you want compositing, it depends on your video card and drivers. if the video card can't do compositing, kde won't let you enable it | 23:26 |
| thepizzanator | okay | 23:26 |
| thepizzanator | i doubt mine can do it. :/ thanks | 23:26 |
| thepizzanator | so is compiz fusion just for gnome or what? i'm lost | 23:26 |
| cajun | i like awn under gnome but i want something equivalent for kde | 23:27 |
| thepizzanator | either way it makes a lot more sense to not have to install somehting extra to get the nice effects | 23:27 |
| cajun | it doesn't appear to be working properly under kde. | 23:28 |
| mefisto__ | thepizzanator: well it doesn't make much sense in kde4 since those effects (most of them) are already part of kde | 23:28 |
| === Dragnslicer is now known as Dragnslcr | ||
| cajun | i'm not getting any of those effects to work under kde | 23:30 |
| cajun | i can't even configure any of them. | 23:31 |
| mefisto__ | can't find where to configure them? or just won't enable? | 23:32 |
| cajun | if i go into system settings and select desktop, they are supposedly enabled but do nothing and don't have a button to configure them. | 23:34 |
| mefisto__ | the "all effects" tab is where you can configure each effect | 23:35 |
| cajun | right. but that's what i'm talking about. | 23:36 |
| cajun | for instance, i can't get the desktop cube to work like it does under gnome w/ compiz | 23:36 |
| cajun | in gnome i hold alt + ctl for as long as i need and use the mouse to flip through the desktops | 23:37 |
| bob_ | yo | 23:38 |
| cajun | i have an ATI graphics card. | 23:40 |
