[00:00] <ads> arrrghhh: that's what i meant with "advanded". I configured the window to open with a specific size but this setting is ignored (KDE 4.2, Intrepid
[00:00] <arrrghhh> ads, you set this in the "Window Behavior" in system settings?
[00:01] <ads> arrrghhh: hmm, no, i click in the upper left window icon -> Advanced -> Special settings for this program
[00:01] <arrrghhh> ads, try that.
[00:01] <arrrghhh> you can set window geometry among other things for ANY window.
[00:01] <ads> arrrghhh: i did that, checked the "size" and selected "use at init"
[00:02] <arrrghhh> ads, no i mean in the window behavior in system settings.
[00:02] <ads> arrrghhh: i just want it for "konsole", i want to start the konsole window not fullscreen
[00:02] <arrrghhh> good lord.  you can set it for just konsole
[00:02] <arrrghhh> you can set it for just firefox
[00:02] <arrrghhh> it's WINDOW SPECIFIC.
[00:03] <Tirili> Where can I find the official md5 sum for kubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso?
[00:03] <arrrghhh> or you can set global settings.
[00:03] <arrrghhh> Tirili, where you downloaded it i assume... although k3b does automatic md5 sums.
[00:03] <ads> arrrghhh: hey, stop blaming me. The same options you told me to try appear in the system settings
[00:03] <arrrghhh> ads, i'm not "blaming" you.  you're not listening to me.
[00:04] <arrrghhh> or reading me?  whatever.
[00:04] <ads> arrrghhh: so it seems i can use both ways - and i just tried: both aren't working
[00:04] <arrrghhh> hrm
[00:04] <arrrghhh> i dunno then.  i'd turn off whatever settings you have configured in konsole
[00:04] <Tirili> What do you mean with "k3b does automatic md5 sums"? Does k3b look up the original md5 sum in the internet?
[00:04] <arrrghhh> i've always used the window specific settings within system settings, and they've always worked great.  there's a lot of settings in there, make sure you're configuring it correctly.
[00:05] <ads> arrrghhh: just tried that, if i add the setting with the "advanced" menu it just saves the settings to the window specific sttings you mentioned.
[00:05] <arrrghhh> Tirili, i assume it's in the iso, it's always done md5 sums for me automatically.
[00:05] <Tirili> Ah
[00:05] <arrrghhh> ads, well then i don't know.  you're either configuring something wrong or there's a bug... but i've never had a problem with it.  like i said, there's a lot of settings in there, make sure you're configuring it correctly.
[00:06] <ads> arrrghhh: tried anything out. The kubuntu guys told me the advances menu in Chemnitz today.
[00:07] <ads> And they also told me the "size" setting should be what i want ;-)
[00:07] <arrrghhh> i don't know what that means, so i guess i'm out of ideas.  i've never had an issue with it.
[00:08] <Tirili> Hm. I didn't understand it. :( What is it, what k3b gives me? Is it the md5 sum of the .iso file as it is lying on my harddisk or is it the "should-be"-md5-sum?
[00:08] <Tirili> Because there is an option "compare with another sum", I think, it cannot be the should-be-one.
[00:09] <arrrghhh> Tirili, i don't understand what the issue is.  when you pop the md5 into k3b (with the intention of burning) it always does and md5 checksum for me.
[00:09] <arrrghhh> but you should be able to find the md5 from where you downloaded the iso.
[00:09] <ads> arrrghhh: it works very well if i use "enforce", the konsole window is always enforced to the configured size.
[00:09] <ads> arrrghhh: just when i use "at initialisation" (or whatever the translation might be) it's not working.
[00:10] <arrrghhh> ads, like i said, there's A LOT of settings in there.  window class, window role, etc
[00:10] <arrrghhh> so check "ignore requested geometry"
[00:11] <ads> arrrghhh: yes, i know and i see. "enforce" does not allow me to change the size - so the window class is correct.
[00:11] <Tirili> thank you anyway
[00:11] <arrrghhh> Tirili, sorry.
[00:11] <arrrghhh> ah well
[00:11] <hix> ads: if i change window size for konsole window, then settings - current profile... apply. it opens in that new size.
[00:11] <arrrghhh> ads, there's another setting in the "workarounds" tab - ignore requested geometry.
[00:13] <ads> hix: yes - as long as i don't change the window size. If i change the window size the next window is opened in the new size.
[00:14] <hix> ads: ah, now i know what u mean, didnt get that first, sry
[00:14] <ads> oh, fine, and is there a solution? ;-)
[00:14] <arrrghhh> ads, so force always is not desirable?
[00:15] <ads> arrrghhh: tried all settings, no change
[00:15] <hix> *trying
[00:15] <arrrghhh> you said it works on force always...
[00:15] <ads> arrrghhh: ah, mom, i tried all the settings in the last tab for "ignore requested geometry" - that's not working
[00:16] <arrrghhh> you are truly frustrating and obviously not giving me enough informations.
[00:16] <arrrghhh> *information
[00:16] <ads> arrrghhh: no, enforce isn't a workaround for me. Sometimes i want more small windows, sometimes i want fullscreen windows.
[00:16] <ads> can't type faster, sorry ;-)
[00:16] <arrrghhh> yea, you're frustrating.  i don't know what to tell you, i could get it to work for me
[00:17] <wizardslovak> hello people
[00:17] <arrrghhh> not about fast typing
[00:17] <wizardslovak> i want to update my system and i am getting error
[00:17] <ads> arrrghhh: i'm happy if that works for you, but obviously it isn't working for me.
[00:18] <arrrghhh> well that's great.  you're doing something wrong.  you're not giving me enough info.  so i can't help you, sorry.
[00:18] <wizardslovak> http://pastebin.com/d654ac676
[00:18] <ads> hix: what are you trying exactly?
[00:19] <wizardslovak> this is first time i actually booted kubuntu and i found i need updates
[00:19] <wizardslovak> so i clicked on updates but i cant
[00:19] <arrrghhh> wizardslovak, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:20] <Ev0luti0n_> hello folks
[00:21] <hix> ads: find a way to always open it in a size i define, even after resizing manual ;)
[00:21] <ads> hix: and? Does it work?
[00:21] <hix> not yet
[00:21] <ads> hix: so if you resize the konsole it uses the new size for the next konsole window?
[00:22] <hix> yes
[00:22] <wizardslovak> arrrghhh: http://pastebin.com/d126c7a3d
[00:22] <ads> hix: so i'm doing something wrong. Just that i don't know what i'm doing wrong ...
[00:23] <wizardslovak> what is the command in shell to update system?
[00:23] <hix> i use kde 4.2.1, maybe they fixed it there
[00:24] <ads> hix: intrepid with intrepid kde updates from kubuntu-experimental
[00:24] <arrrghhh> wizardslovak, hrm... i don't see anything off.  you can use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade"
[00:24] <ads> hix: no new updates available (for me)
[00:24] <hix> ads: i use jaunty
[00:24] <arrrghhh> wizardslovak, but you may want to try a different main repo... i can't remember how to do it, you may have to use synaptic.
[00:25] <arrrghhh> hix, how is it?
[00:25] <arrrghhh> nvm, g2g
[00:25] <ads> hix: hmm
[00:25] <ads> hix: at least you can confirm the problem ...
[00:25] <wizardslovak> ok its downloading 160mbs lol
[00:26] <hix> arrrghhh: great so far, besides some nepomuk crashes at kde start
[00:26] <wizardslovak> does anyone of you use 3d cube?? i forgot keyboard keys
[00:27] <hix> wizardslovak: ctrl-f11 oder mousewheel on desktop
[00:27] <wizardslovak> nah i think it was something else
[00:27] <wizardslovak> shift+ something and then mouse
[00:27] <hix> at least in 4.2.1 ;)
[00:28] <hix> ctrl-alt-arrows in compiz
[00:28] <wizardslovak> yea thats the one
[00:28] <wizardslovak> thx man
[00:28] <wizardslovak> jeez i wasnt on kubuntu for about month and already forgot
[00:29] <wizardslovak> so whats up people?
[00:34] <hix> ads: if i klick left-top konsole window - advanced - special settings for this windows - size - at init ... it works. opens in that size every time now, even if i resize in between
[00:35] <ads> hix: i tried exactly this setting - doesn't work. But i'm still on 8.10 ...
[00:38] <hix> ads: at least u know, it will work, when 4.2.1 is in backports ;)
[00:38] <ads> hix: hrhr ;-)
[00:40] <tanjir> a newbie q: how do i find all .txt files under /home/myhome/
[00:40] <tanjir> using bash command
[00:41] <hix> tanjir: ls /home/myhome/*.txt
[00:41] <tanjir> hix: recursively?
[00:41] <LjL> tanjir: if you want to search in the subdirectories too, then: find /home/myhome/ -iname '*.txt'
[00:42] <tanjir> LjL: sweet.. that is what i was looking for :D
[00:42] <tanjir> thanks :D
[00:42] <LjL> tanjir: don't forget the quotes
[00:42] <tanjir> LjL: awesome.. it worked :)
[00:44] <hix> tanjir: ls -R *.txt is also a choice ;)
[00:44] <LjL> hix: that doesn't work for me
[00:45] <hix> yah, find is better here. ls will stop, if theres no .txt file in start directory
[00:46] <LjL> 'ls' won't list .txt files in subdirectories at all, unless the subdirectories themselves are named *.txt
[00:47] <hix> right, my fault.
[00:49] <tanjir> so now i got all the txt files... for example if i want to remove only the .txt files do i pipe with rm command?
[01:00] <hix> tanjir: find /home/myhome/ -iname '*.txt' -exec rm -f {} \;      (test it, i have a bad day ;))
[01:05] <tanjir> hix: okay... testing

[01:19] <devslash> hi
[01:20] <devslash> i downloaded the kubuntu 8.10 release. does it support creating lvm partitions ?
[01:21] <dr_willis> devslash,  pretty sure it does
[01:21] <dr_willis> !lvm
[01:29] <devslash> when i create the partition scheme (im not doing lvm by the way) i created swap which is sda1 then the remainder of the space is ext3 but the ext3 is sda5 instead of sda2. is that normal ?
[01:42] <hix> devslash: should be fine. depends type of partition. sda5 wd be first extendend, logical... 1-4 are primary .. at least should be
[01:59] <bravo7> I need help in converting .rmvb to .avi can someone help me
[02:04] <genii> bravo7: There seems something about it here: http://phyx.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/convertir-rmvb-a-avi-ubuntu/

[02:12] <devslash> im installing kubuntu in vmware and its been stuck at getting time form a network time server for at least 15%. is there anyhope besides starting the installation all over again ?
[02:14] <NickPresta> I was wondering if there were a published list of differences between Konqueror and Dolphin as a file manager, from the user's perspective. I'm trying to explain these differences to someone who doesn't use Dolphin but instantly dismisses it.
[02:14] <devslash> is anyone here ?
[02:14] <NickPresta> devslash, there are ~300 people here, by my count :-)
[02:15] <devslash> well no one answered me
[02:18] <tanjir> devslash: are you using kubuntu 8.10?
[02:18] <devslash> yes
[02:19] <devslash> i already restarted it
[02:19] <tanjir> okay... it worked for me... so there might be other issue
[02:19] <devslash> in vmware ?
[02:20] <tanjir> yah... vmware server 2.0 on windows xp professional edition
[02:20] <devslash> im using vmware fusion on os x
[02:21] <tanjir> ohh... that might have different issue
[02:21] <devslash> maybe
[02:21] <tanjir> how long did you wait?
[02:21] <devslash> 30 minutes
[02:21] <tanjir> devslash: i think more then enough.
[02:23] <tanjir> NickPresta: Dolphin has some cool features for example: split screen, Terminal panel, column based view (like mac)
[02:23] <devslash> tanjir im trying it out on parallels
[02:24] <tanjir> devslash: is there a lot of stuffs running on the vm fusion host? i mean do you have enough memory to run?
[02:24] <devslash> yea
[02:24] <devslash> ive got 2GB
[02:24] <devslash> total and 1Gb for vmware
[02:25] <devslash> only have irc client and vmware running
[02:26] <tanjir> is there any other virtual machine running? or just this one?
[02:26] <devslash> just that one
[02:26] <tanjir> then that should work fine
[02:26] <tanjir> any error message?
[02:27] <devslash> no
[02:28] <tanjir> i got no clue then...
[02:28] <devslash> ok thanks anyways

[03:09] <demi> How do I open a root terminal, and nto a normal terminal?
[03:12] <hix> demi: just do a 'sudo su' in normal terminal
[03:14] <genii> sudo -i   is recommended
[03:16] <demi> sudo -i didnt work, but sudo su worked fien for what I needed thanks
[03:17] <maco> hix: no
[03:17] <maco> hix: that doesnt set the environment
[03:18] <maco> sudo su & sudo -s don't set the env
[03:18] <maco> sudo su - & sudo -i are recommended because they properly set root's env
[03:19] <genii> maco: Well, when some app won't run for regular user now, I imagine they'll be back asking about it
[03:20] <hix>  you're right, should be 'sudo su -'
[03:21] <devslash> im new to kubuntu. i saw this site http://jespersaur.com/drupal/node/45 how do  i install this app ?
[03:22] <maco> new to kubuntu or new to linux in general?
[03:22] <devslash> just kubuntu
[03:22] <devslash> used linux for a while but not in last 2 years
[03:23] <JohnFlux> devslash: probably can't easily at the moment
[03:23] <devslash> huh
[03:23] <JohnFlux> devslash: wait for a 'proper release' :-)
[03:23] <devslash> what do you mean
[03:24] <maco> hrm i dont see a playground section on websvn.kde.org
[03:24] <genii> extras?
[03:24] <maco> so i have no idea where their svn is
[03:27] <maco> well itd be "svn co _________" and then likely the usual ./configure ; make ; make install, but.....
[03:32] <hix> might be this one: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/kPhone/

[03:59] <demi> Im trying to install the new compiz, and it is saying using Adept, I have held broken packages,  I deleted all previous compiz packages, and still get the same error any idea on how to fix this?
[04:01] <tony_26> demi, try to install via command line and it will usually give you a command to fix it, IIRC
[04:02] <demi> Im getting this when trying to install compiz-kde
[04:02] <demi> compiz-kde:
[04:02] <demi>  Depends: libplasma2 but it is not going to be installed
[04:02] <demi> Says to check repos, or something.
[04:03] <tony_26> you can use the -f (force) options but i won't recommend for sure
[04:03] <tony_26> you may have a conflict somewhere
[04:04] <tony_26> but then again, i'm kind of a linux noob so take what i say with a grain of salt
[04:06] <demi> Hey when installing that specific file form terminal I get this
[04:06] <demi> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[04:06] <demi>   libplasma2: Depends: kdebase-workspace-libs4+5 but it is not going to be installed
[04:06] <demi>               Depends: kdebase-workspace-data (= 4:4.1.4-0ubuntu1~intrepid3.1) but 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu7~intrepid1 is to be installed
[04:07] <demi> obviously I did do the upgrade so it wont install that file now?
[04:09] <tony_26> idk any workaround
[04:10] <tony_26> there may be, i just don't know
[04:15] <devslash> hix hey are you still here
[04:17] <demi> If im diong "sudo apt-get -f install libplasma2" , is that where I want the -f? to force install it?
[04:20] <earle> Ha, I was just coming here to ask a similar question.
[04:20] <earle> "libqt4-dev: Depends: libqt4-dbus (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) but 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 is to be installed" - safe to force install the new version, I'm assuming?
[04:21] <demi> i'm trying to use apt-get -f but it won't install my pkg im getting same error.
[04:24] <earle> -f is --fix-packages, not force, btw
[04:24] <earle> er, --fix-broken even
[04:24] <demi> How do I force?
[04:24] <earle> I'm just checking that
[04:25] <earle> Don't know, sorry. There's --force-yes but that doesn't seem to be it.
[04:27] <earle> I think you can only force when installing with dpkg. But don't quote me on that.
[04:28] <earle> BTW, Compiz is clearly broken in KDE at the moment.
[04:29] <earle> As are all my desktop effects as of a couple of days ago. Very annoying.
[04:30] <earle> As is my weather plasmoid, and nobody has been able to tell me how to fix it; even trying to recompile it from source results in broken packages.

[04:50] <k0pp> im having issues with my onboard soundcard.  all i hear is static. when system sounds play, the static gets quiet enough for me to notice that a system sound is playing.. but thats the only sound i can get to come through.  my sound works fine on FreeBSD and Windows, but not with kubuntu.  any suggestions?
[04:54] <commander_> i need help . i had downloaded the flash plugin to watch YT videos but nothing being loaded up on youtube
[04:55] <k0pp> commander_ just get the whole adobe fflash install
[04:55] <commander_> ok let give it a try
[04:59] <commander_> no go
[05:00] <Oscar_Mayer> sorry if this sounds dumb, but did you restart firefox?
[05:03] <commander_> plenty times
[05:03] <commander_> just did it again....maybe i need to reboot the laptop
[05:03] <Oscar_Mayer> mmm, yeah, that sometimes works for me ^_^
[05:04] <commander_> i DL 'ed the player then i extracted it
[05:04] <commander_> hold on i got to reboot
[05:06] <k0pp> i wonder if he knows that you need to do more than `extract` the archive
[05:06] <k0pp> :/
[05:06] <Oscar_Mayer> mm
[05:06] <Oscar_Mayer> yeah, maybe that too
[05:06] <Oscar_Mayer> XP
[05:07] <Oscar_Mayer> I actually don't know how I got flash working on my machine
[05:07] <k0pp> so uhh, just one more check, no one has any ideas about my sound issue i posted earlier?
[05:07] <k0pp> heh
[05:07] <k0pp> i forget if it comes in a .deb or .tar.gz
[05:08] <Oscar_Mayer> i told a friend i needed help, so he just did it, wish i knew how...
[05:08] <k0pp> i think a .deb though
[05:08] <Oscar_Mayer> hmm
[05:08] <k0pp> as far as i know... just wget it, then dpkg -i flash.deb
[05:08] <k0pp> ;/
[05:08] <commander_> u say it a deb.?
[05:08] <k0pp> i beileve so
[05:08] <k0pp> it asks you to pick what type of package you want
[05:08] <k0pp> in a dropdown menu
[05:08] <k0pp> (i remember this i just rebuilt my system yesterday)
[05:09] <k0pp> anyways yeah, pick the .deb for i386 (assuming)
[05:09] <k0pp> then it'll come in a tarball
[05:09] <k0pp> tar xvzf flash....tar.gz
[05:09] <k0pp> dpkg -i flash....deb
[05:09] <k0pp> done :D
[05:09] <Slartibartfast> commander_: why you did not isntall like "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[05:09] <k0pp> theres always that option
[05:10] <commander_> yeah but i think i got it
[05:15] <youngsam347> hola hola a todos

[05:35] <eatThisAndDie> hey, anyone know of any landscaping software i can use on linux?
[05:35] <eatThisAndDie> I'm trying to visualise my new office
[05:38] <Slartibartfast> eatThisAndDie: it is hard to say if you not give even minimal info about what software you try to use. You have to agree with that ... if it is windows software you can try to use wine, but many times that won't work.
[05:40] <eatThisAndDie> Well.... i cant really say much bout the windows equivalent. Seeing as i never used one, but google pointed me to Realtime Landscaping Pro
[05:40] <k0pp> hrm
[05:41] <eatThisAndDie> Also i generally Don't use wine.... So running a windows application off wine would definitely not be my first choice
[05:41] <Slartibartfast> eatThisAndDie: which "Runs on Windows XP and Vista. "
[05:42] <eatThisAndDie> Slartibartfast: yeah apparently it does, but I have neither...
[05:42] <Slartibartfast> eatThisAndDie: Me neither
[05:43] <Slartibartfast> never used software like this
[05:43] <eatThisAndDie> I'm just seeing what are the options in Linux thats all, its not crucial for me to have one, just curious
[05:44] <Slartibartfast> Well there is software to compose 3D objects ... but what i am thinking of is quiet complicated to learn how to use ...
[05:45] <eatThisAndDie> Hmm... just found out that this kinda software is called "Landscape design software"
[05:45] <eatThisAndDie> Wikipedia is no real help there,
[05:46] <Slartibartfast> But you said you wanted to visualize your new office ... does that mean outside + building ? ... or inside + placing of furniture?
[05:47] <eatThisAndDie> inside - placing of furniture
[05:47] <eatThisAndDie> why? Is there a difference?
[05:47] <commander_> n ow i'm haaving trouble with the adept manager
[05:47] <Slartibartfast> just to get a picture of what you want to do
[05:47] <commander_> it won't let me upgrade no software
[05:48] <Slartibartfast> with landscape software i think more about design of gardens and outside of buildings
[05:48] <eatThisAndDie> commander_ : you tried using aptitude or apt-get?
[05:50] <eatThisAndDie> Slartibartfast: Well... the word 'landscape' kinda implies that, but from the examples i've seen, they have floor plans too
[05:51] <commander_> thru terminal?
[05:53] <Slartibartfast> commander_: yes ... Close adept and do:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ...
[05:58] <devslash> how do i install this plasma widget ? http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/kPhone/
[06:00] <commander_>  ok it say i got adept 2 open but don't see it on the screen
[06:00] <devslash> can anyone help me out
[06:01] <devslash>  i did svn co http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/kPhone/ . and got the message svn: Repository moved permanently to 'http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/kPhone/'; please relocate. what does that mean ???

[06:30] <se7en> someone know how to get the wifi on aspire 4530 working
[06:46] <doleyb> se7en: i have aspire 5520!

[06:51] <se7en> i will try that doleyb thanks (worst notebook ever)
[06:54] <se7en> no sound no wifi and hardly any distro installs on the crazy hardware
[06:55] <doleyb> se7en: I blame the distros more than the hardware... I hope the april release of the next ubuntu will fix it!!
[06:55] <doleyb> se7en: wifi is such the most important thing to get right...!
[06:56] <se7en> right

[10:03] <PodeCoet> for IP addresses, with the last digit. You cant have a 0 or 255 because they're reserved right?
[10:03] <PodeCoet> as in 0 for the network, and 255 for broadcast
[10:03] <SlimeyPete> indeed
[10:03] <SlimeyPete> yeah.
[10:03] <SlimeyPete> 1-254 inclusive are allowed
[10:03] <PodeCoet> how the hell is my wan IP 122.106.98.0 then lol
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:04] <SlimeyPete> is that for your cable modem or something?
[10:04] <SlimeyPete> (still weird, even if it is)
[10:04] <PodeCoet> yeah, doesn't it work the same way though?
[10:04] <PodeCoet> I'm freaking out :P
[10:04] <ActionParsnip> PodeCoet: IP Region: New South Wales, City:Oatley
[10:05] <ActionParsnip> anywhere near?

[10:06] <ActionParsnip> im not trying to be 1337
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> just showing that its a valid WAN IP
[10:06] <PodeCoet> I'm only messing :P
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> hehe
[10:06] <PodeCoet> but yeah its pretty close, maybe 20km off
[10:06] <PodeCoet> weird though hey, I've NEVER seen an IP like this before
[10:07] <PodeCoet> except in bad examples (invalid) of IP addresses :P

[10:11] <beardbar> when using dolphin, im trying to copy files from another hard drive thats ntfs, keep getting permission errors? any ideas?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: did you mount the ntfs as user writable?
[10:12] <beardbar> ActionParsnip: not sure how to do that, i just double click on the drive in dolphin.
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: i'm guessing its not mounted to give normal users access
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: can you give the line in the output of   mount   regarding the partition
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: i usually find this helps most people mount ntfs user writable. make sure you have ntfs3g installed  http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users
[10:16] <beardbar> ActionParsnip: how do I know which partition it is its named development but the mount command doesnt show that name anywhere. oh wait maybe i need to have dolphin mount first
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: it says USB but a partition is a partition in linux
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: run: sudo fdisk -l
[10:17] <beardbar> windows
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: one partition will show up as ntfs
[10:17] <beardbar> /dev/sdc1 on /media/Development type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> ok well its mounted rw
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> if you run your file manager with kdesudo and then it allows you to write you need to mount it with different options to allow users to write to it
[10:20] <noaXess> wow.. i can't write the key left of BACKSPACE.... right of ? key..
[10:20] <noaXess> ??
[10:20] <noaXess> any idea
[10:27] <beardbar> cant even do a command line cp as root
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> beardbar: i'd look at remounting it using fstab with decent mount options
[10:28] <beardbar> k reading up on fstab
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> !fstab
[10:33] <brandon_> hi all; I'm trying to get konsole to use zsh rather than bash, however, changing the "Run program" field in the profile settings dialog doesn't drop me in zsh-- any ideas?
[10:34] <SlimeyPete> I think you have to add a new type of session somehow... but if you can't figure out how to do that, you could just put "zsh" at the end of your .bashrc
[10:35] <SlimeyPete> that'll mean you have to ctrl-D twice to exit the session though
[10:37] <brandon_> SlimeyPete: thanks for the pointer
[10:42] <brandon_> slimeypete: I'm having trouble finding the session dialog you are referring too -- do you know where I might be able to find more information on this?
[10:44] <SlimeyPete> brandon_: hang on
[10:44] <brandon_> thank you!
[10:44] <SlimeyPete> it seems to have changed... or else I'm remembering wrong... but actually, doing what you did (change the command) works fine for me
[10:45] <SlimeyPete> I just tried it
[10:45] <SlimeyPete> you do have to restart konsole before it'll take effect
[10:45] <brandon_> ah... I must have some bad config files or something
[10:45] <ka_waii> brandon_: look in /etc/passwd
[10:45] <ka_waii> the last entry on each row is the default shell for that user
[10:46] <brandon_> yup -- I've got zsh
[10:46] <brandon_> hm... lemme see if I've goofed up some basic stuff
[10:46] <brandon_> but thanks for confirming that that field SHOULD do the trick
[10:46] <ka_waii> if u do zsh in a bash shell, the bash is still running :)
[10:47] <brandon_> ka_waii: nope... zsh starts up just fine
[10:47] <ka_waii> what happens if u write "exit"?
[10:47] <ka_waii> or ctrl-d ?
[10:47] <brandon_> ka_waii: zsh quites and I go back to bash
[10:48] <brandon_> quits*
[10:48] <ka_waii> yes, thats becauser zsh is runing INSIDE of bash
[10:57] <noaXess> can't use the keyboard key on left of the BACKSPACE key... or write a big ä.ö or ü
[10:57] <noaXess> any idea why this key's not work?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: is this on a german keyboard?
[11:00] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: jep..
[11:00] <noaXess> swiss/german..
[11:00] <noaXess> but it should be correctly configured over system-settings / region and languages..
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: check they are set correctly
[11:01] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: country or region is switzerland, keyboard layout: german, sun dead key, label ch
[11:01] <noaXess> command: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ch -variant de_sundeadkeys
[11:02] <noaXess> i'm on a notebook..
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: you could add an option in xorg.conf to set the keyboard region too
[11:02] <noaXess> ActionParsnip: does that over systemsetting not work?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: should do, its just an extra place to define it
[11:03] <noaXess> hm..
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: you could wrestle with that command yu gave until its spot on
[11:06] <noaXess> ?
[11:06] <noaXess> this: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ch -variant de_sundeadkeys
[11:06] <noaXess> ?
[11:06] <noaXess> thats from system-settings / regional and languages / keyboard layout
[11:07] <noaXess> ok.. lunch time ;)
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> noaXess: well if its not working then it needs modifying some
[11:13] <zer0o> hi guys just connected a MAC formatted ipod on my kubuntu hardy and amarok doesn't see it, what do i need to do? how do i delete the music thatz on it and put my on it? do i need to "linux format" it first? help! thanks
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: does it show up in   sudo fdisk -l
[11:14] <zer0o> it appears on my desktop as soon as i connected it but it says its empty
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: if it shows up in fdisk -l you can use  gksudo gparted to format it
[11:16] <zer0o> ok i'll try that out
[11:16] <liangzhichao> is there somebody know where i could download the isolinux bootloader?
[11:17] <zer0o> ActionParsnip: thatz what fdisk -l says about it --->>> Disk /dev/sde doesn't contain a valid partition table
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: if its reporting as the right size, thats your ipod
[11:18] <zer0o> yes yes it is but the thing is i got another one which is windows formatted and it reads it put it on the desktop and amarok reads it and sees it, this one comes from a MAC, and amarok ignores it
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: did you disconnect gracefully from the mac?
[11:19] <zer0o> it wasnt connected at all, it comes from a mac but it was in a draw 5 minutes ago :D
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: try plugging it into the mac and then saftly removing it
[11:21] <zer0o> ok one sec
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: i dont use ipod or any of apples products so i'm not the best dude to ask
[11:23] <zer0o> ActionParsnip: got it, anyway it still auto-mounts it on the desktop but its "empty" and amarok doesnt c it

[11:36] <ravimaddula> after installation it should display in wine-progfiles-
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> ravimaddula: make sure you get wine from the wine repo
[11:36] <zer0o> ActionParsnip: read the wiki but it doesnt say anything about my issue, tried to format it with gparted but it says it doesnt recognized the filesystem so it doesnt let me unmount it in order to format it. im stucked! what do i do?
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> ravimaddula: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> zer0o: you could format it blank. i dont use overpriced ipod so i'm not the guy to ask
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> ravimaddula: once installed you can run setup.exe type files with wine and it will install 9if it can)
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> 9if == (if
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> ravimaddula: not all apps run or will even install under wine

[11:41] <dwarder> can anyone suggest file hosting with straight url?
[11:42] <dwarder> so that files can be accessed though url
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> !ot | dwarder
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> dwarder: you could run your own ftp server
[11:43] <dwarder> kk
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> then you can access your stuff any place,home broadband upload speed is pretty poor though
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> but you will have access without needing hosting

[13:38] <kblindert> I have a mysterious kde problem. It just stopped working after i messed with some skim settings.
[13:39] <kblindert> now any kde program started, e.g. kdm_greet eats 100% cpu and doesn't really start.
[13:40] <michaeldadmum> Try deleting ~/.kde/share/config/skimrc and try again.
[13:40] <kblindert> I have really no idea where to look now, gnome works - but ...
[13:40] <kblindert> nope. deleting all of .kde didn't change a thing
[13:40] <michaeldadmum> That's not a user problem. That is SYSTEM problem.
[13:41] <kblindert> which means?
[13:41] <michaeldadmum> Did you upgrade your system recently?
[13:42] <kblindert> hm, yeah i do so frequently. i can't really relate the sudden fault of kde programs to any changes .
[13:42] <michaeldadmum> It may be a recent bug in some KDE libraries.
[13:43] <michaeldadmum> What KDE version are you using now?
[13:43] <kblindert> kde4.2
[13:43] <kblindert> latest from intrepid
[13:43] <Tm_T> kblindert: 4.2.0 ?
[13:43] <michaeldadmum> I'm using 4.2.1 in Jaunty and I have no problems.
[13:43]  * kblindert checks again
[13:44] <BluesKaj> 'Morning
[13:44] <kblindert> yup, 4.2.0
[13:45] <kblindert> so any pointers how this could have happened?
[13:45] <Tm_T> kblindert: one moment
[13:45] <michaeldadmum> Can you open a KDE app in GNOME?
[13:46] <kblindert> nope - e.g. konsole just eats 100% cpu.
[13:46] <kblindert> same for systemsettings
[13:46] <michaeldadmum> What happened when you try to open a konsole in a gnome-terminal?
[13:46] <kblindert> no output, top says konsole=100%cpu
[13:47] <kblindert> when i manually "startkde" kwin actually starts, but plasma and krunner hog cpu and don't do a thing
[13:48] <michaeldadmum> I also can't run plasma from ssh but I can use it locally.
[13:48] <kblindert> ah yes - and finally there's this: http://pastebin.com/m24ca9168
[13:48] <eleve> tu px aller te fair foutre stp ???
[13:49] <michaeldadmum> That's exactly the problem I encountered in plasma.
[13:49] <kblindert> hah! so you're using kde4.2.1 as fix?
[13:49] <Tm_T> kblindert: pastebin the output of following command: grep ppa /etc/apt/sources.list | grep kubuntu
[13:50] <kblindert> simply this guy: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main
[13:50]  * Tm_T slaps kblindert 
[13:50] <kblindert> uh.
[13:50] <Tm_T> kblindert: there you go, you're using unstable source for packages (:)
[13:50] <kblindert> *cough*
[13:51] <Tm_T> kblindert: disable it, and make sure you have backports enabled
[13:51] <Tm_T> then upgrade
[13:51] <Tm_T> and hope that everyrthing goes smoothly (;
[13:51] <kblindert> i'll do. and uh. yeah i'm a bad bad user.
[13:51] <Tm_T> nah, just that's typical these days
[13:52] <BluesKaj> I'm having a problem with the Kradio SourceForge install (not the svn version) . I'm following this reame install instruction but I'm getting this error after 'make': "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."

[13:56] <kblindert> ... hm thing is, the kdelibs etc.pp. are from intrepid-backports
[13:56] <michaeldadmum> Why do you try to build a kradio of your own but not grep one from the repo?

[14:29] <Sarge_TJ> Hi everyone! I'm having a weird problem with my Desktop folder. It seems to have disappeared, and if I create a folder named "Desktop" to my home directory, for example firefox downloads all files straight to my home folder, even though it says Desktop folder in Firefox preferences. My folder view plasmoid can't locate my Desktop folder either. Can anyone help?
[14:37] <fliegenderfrosch> Sarge_TJ: check which desktop path is set in your system settings (about me)
[14:41] <stuq> does anyone know when the latest koffice beta's are going to hit the kubuntu repositories?  My kubuntu-experimental (or is it kubuntu-members-kde4) is only up to beta5...
[14:41] <Eruaran> I'm not touching KOffice till I know it wont break mt KDE
[14:48] <gameboy439> hello, can someone help me with a hard drive issue please?
[14:48] <Wanderer> Can anyone tell me why my 8.10, freshly updated kubuntu doesn't have sound?  kmix in the bottom right is showing muted, I can not un-mute it.  If I boot off th 8.10 live CD sound does work though.
[14:49] <gameboy439> soun works for me in 8.10, maybe u don't have the drivers for ur sound card
[14:49] <gameboy439> sound*
[14:49] <fliegenderfrosch> Wanderer: you could try if you can unmute from the console with alsamixer
[14:49]  * Ev0luti0n_ is away: Gone away for now
[14:50] <Wanderer> fliegenderfrosch: alsa mixer isn't showing anything muted
[14:50] <stuq> Wanderer: you may have to install a restricted driver.. do a search on your menu for 'jockey'
[14:50] <stuq> it will find and install restricted drivers for you
[14:50] <gameboy439> i formatted my second hard drive to ext3 with Gparted after installing ubuntu 8.10, and now the hard drive isn't showing up in Computer, can anyone help me with this?
[14:51] <Wanderer> loading
[14:51] <Wanderer> it's only suggesting nvidia which is working fine (envyng)
[14:51] <stuq> hmm. so that's not it...
[14:51] <stuq> from konsole, you could do a lspci
[14:51] <stuq> look to see if the sound card is recognized
[14:52] <Wanderer> it was last night
[14:53] <gameboy439> is anyone available to help me with my hard drive issue?
[14:53] <stuq> then follow with a lsmod, see if you can find the sound driver, and then google to find whether you're loading the correct one
[14:53] <Wanderer> yeah, it's showing Audio Device: Intel Corp 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
[14:54] <Wanderer> I did an "lsmod | grep snd" on the live CD and saved it to an nfs mount
[14:54] <Wanderer> compared that to what I have now and it looks identicle
[14:54] <stuq> Wanderer: ah, I was working on a box with that chipset, and also had no sound
[14:55] <stuq> haven't put enough time into it to solve the issue
[14:55] <stuq> try a google on 82801I ubuntu 'no sound'
[14:55] <Wanderer> yeah, did that last night
[14:55] <stuq> gameboy439: look in dmesg and see if the drive is being recognized
[14:55] <Wanderer> I'd thin it was hardware but it worked on the live CD
[14:56] <Quetzlcoatl> i had the same problem with the sound, and the only solutions was to reinstall
[14:56] <stuq> if it is, you'll have to mount it
[14:56] <stuq> Quetzlcoatl: a reinstall actuall fixed it?
[14:56] <Quetzlcoatl> yes
[14:56] <Wanderer> that's bizarre
[14:56] <Wanderer> I spent all weekened getting this sucker where I want it (internal raid)
[14:56] <gameboy439> stuq, how do i use dmesg?
[14:57] <Quetzlcoatl> i have Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[14:57] <stuq> gameboy439: type dmesg in konsole
[14:57] <stuq> it will show you all the stuff that happens @ boot time
[14:57] <beardbar> what do I type into synaptic to install wine?
[14:57] <Quetzlcoatl> and when i booted from livecd the sound worked
[14:57] <gameboy439> ok, one sec...
[14:57] <stuq> if your formatting was successful, it should be in that list
[14:58] <Quetzlcoatl> i know that reinstalling is not, maybe, the best solutions....
[15:00] <gameboy439> i typed in dmesg and a lot of stuff came up, what exactly should i look for?
[15:18] <floown> hello
[15:19] <Slonkie> would anyone be capable of telling me where the module blacklist file is placed in kubuntu?
[15:19] <floown> I have lost my sound in VLC, Firefox (swf), Konqueror, but all is ok in Nicotine and Amarok. What can be the problem please?
[15:20] <floown> Slonkie: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ?
[15:22] <Slonkie> thanks floown.
[15:22] <stuq> gameboy439: sorry, client came into the office
[15:23] <stuq> look for the harddrives, should be dev/hda or dev/sda
[15:23] <gameboy439> stuq: no problem, i made some progress, but still can't get an actual icon to show up in Computer or anywhere
[15:23] <stuq> something that matches the spec
[15:23] <stuq> gameboy439: well, you have to mount the new drive
[15:24] <stuq> sudo mount [/dev/yourdrivename] /mnt
[15:24] <stuq> that would do it for this session
[15:24] <gameboy439> i did mount it, but it still doesn't show, it shows in konsole when i do df -h, but not in Computer, like as a visual icon
[15:24] <stuq> to make it permanent add it to /etc/fstab
[15:24] <stuq> hmm. that might just be a bug/refresh prob
[15:24] <stuq> if it shows in df -h, you should be able to type in the address in dolphin
[15:25] <gameboy439> yea i was told about the etc/fstab line, do u think i should restart and see if it shows up in dolphin"?
[15:25] <stuq> well, it won't show if it's not in fstab
[15:25] <stuq> that is the place that tells the puter what to mount
[15:26] <stuq> when you add an entry, make sure you do a carrige return at the end of the last line, or fstab isn't happy
[15:26] <stuq> not sure if that's by design or a bug
[15:26] <stuq> prob. by design
[15:26] <gameboy439> oh ok, hold on, lemme check that link someone gave me to add that line to fstab
[15:26] <stuq> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[15:27] <gameboy439> does that open the file?
[15:27] <stuq> in konsole....
[15:27] <stuq> yes, command line editor in konsole
[15:28] <stuq> you could kdesu kate, but i think kdesu has 'issues'
[15:28] <gameboy439> ok i'm in nano
[15:28] <stuq> so, go down to the bottom and add a line
[15:29] <stuq> you can man fstab in another term to get the syntaxt
[15:29] <stuq> it's not that hard
[15:29] <slow-motion> hi
[15:29] <gameboy439> well there are other line there for my first drive, should i just do it like that, but put the name of my second drive?
[15:30] <Slonkie> Is it possible to make certain applications start at boot ?
[15:31] <gameboy439> slonkie: i think you can do that with system > administration > services, but i'm not sure, never tried it myself
[15:31] <stuq> gameboy439: yes
[15:31] <stuq> unless it's one of those very complex entries that kubuntu does automatically
[15:31] <stuq> that's beyond me as to what they're doing
[15:32] <gameboy439> well i do see a bunch of letters and numbers after UUID=
[15:32] <gameboy439> is that what u mean?
[15:32] <k0pp> my Splash Screen is off center every time it runs.. any of you guys know what might be the issue?
[15:33] <stuq> should be like "192.168.1.250:/mnt/sata7501     /mnt/music      nfs     defaults        0       0"
[15:33] <stuq> that's one of my nfs mounts
[15:33] <stuq> so, you wouldn't need the ip
[15:33] <Slonkie> there is no such thing as "system" gameboy439
[15:33] <floown> I have a problem with alsamixer, I can not launch it
[15:33] <stuq> it would be /dev/sdb or somesuch
[15:33] <floown> $ alsamixer
[15:33] <floown> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[15:33] <stuq> and no uid
[15:34] <stuq> and the mount point would be /mnt/whateveryoulike
[15:34] <stuq> and the type would not be nfs
[15:34] <stuq> man fstab is a good read
[15:34] <gameboy439> slonkie: i didnt mean as a directory, i mean the button at the top of the desktop, if your using gnom with ubuntu
[15:34] <Slonkie> It's kubuntu.
[15:34] <Slonkie> not ubuntu, i ain't got no system button
[15:35] <stuq> floown: it's telling you it can't find the sound card
[15:35] <stuq> or at least the snd_ctl_open call to the driver couldn't find it
[15:35] <gameboy439> oh ok, well i guess u can do a "whereis services" and see if you have it anyway
[15:36] <stuq> gameboy439: the new mounts will show up in whatever dir you mount them in
[15:36] <stuq> not like ubuntu 'places'
[15:36] <floown> stuq: what can I do please?
[15:36] <stuq> floown: lspci, and see if your sound card shows
[15:36] <gameboy439> stuq: yea i mounted it to a folder i made called disk2 and i still cant see it in dolphin
[15:36] <stuq> then you have to find whether the right driver is loaded
[15:36] <gameboy439> and i browsed to that folder
[15:36] <stuq> lsmod to find the driver
[15:36] <stuq> and google to find the right match
[15:37] <stuq> gameboy439: the mount command didn't complain?
[15:37] <gameboy439> no
[15:37] <stuq> in konsole type 'mount'
[15:37] <stuq> is it listed?
[15:38] <floown> stuq: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[15:38] <stuq> argh! the 82801I.... I've been trying to get that one to work myself
[15:38] <stuq> best bet is to see if someone worked out which driver to use
[15:39] <gameboy439> stuq: yes, i see it at the bottom
[15:39] <stuq> i have a couple of boxes with that chipset, but haven't had the time to explore getting them to wrok
[15:39] <Wanderer> floown: right click on your kmix icon on the menubar,  does it show 'mute' selected?
[15:39] <stuq> work
[15:40] <stuq> gameboy439: so, it says your drive 'on' location
[15:40] <stuq> that location is where you go to
[15:40] <gameboy439> yes, "/dev/sdb1 on /disk2 type fuseblk"
[15:40] <gameboy439> is part of the line
[15:40] <stuq>  so you mounted it off of root
[15:41] <stuq> so in dolphin go up to the root dir
[15:41] <floown> Wanderer: no mute in kmix
[15:41] <stuq> and look for disk2
[15:41] <Wanderer> hmm, not the same as mine
[15:41] <floown> Wanderer: I can not launch alsamixer... alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[15:41] <stuq> gameboy439: the unix filesystem is meant to stay pretty fixed
[15:41] <stuq> it's not like windows where you just create dir. wherever...
[15:41] <gameboy439> yes, i went to the disk2 folder, there's no icon for it, but in the status bar thing, it says 111.7 GB free, which is about the size of the drive
[15:42] <gameboy439> so i guess the disk2 folder is essentially the mounted drive?
[15:42] <stuq> I would suggest you mount  as a sub dir to /mnt/yournewdirectory
[15:42] <stuq> yes
[15:42] <stuq> try to copy a file there
[15:42] <phoku> ...uhm. japanese input under kde4 just doesn't want to work, any pointers?
[15:42] <stuq> you mayt have to change permission
[15:42] <stuq> s
[15:43] <gameboy439> i copied a file into that folder successfully
[15:43] <stuq> good
[15:43] <stuq> so, you just want to make the fstab entry
[15:43] <stuq> create a dir under /mnt
[15:43] <stuq> and mount it there perm.
[15:43] <Wanderer> floown: mine was detected on install correctly but it's showing muted in kmix for some reason and I get no sound, but from the 8.10 live CD, it works fine
[15:44] <gameboy439> so why /mnt instead of root?
[15:44] <stuq> gameboy439: well, convention, really
[15:44] <stuq> all unix filesystems are pretty much the same
[15:44] <stuq> new drives get mounted under /mnt
[15:44] <stuq> new prgs go in /usr/bin
[15:45] <stuq> unless your weird RedHat and put things in /opt
[15:45] <stuq> and your /home/username dir is the only place you really get to 'play'
[15:45] <gameboy439> stuq: oh ok i see, and so with that, will i be able to have an icon for the drive automatically?
[15:45] <stuq> that's a kde /dolphin thing, but it usually works
[15:45] <floown> Wanderer: I had sound with Intrepid. I don't know what I have do for losting it in some application (swf in Firefox, VLC) but I have sound in Amarok and Nicotine...
[15:46] <stuq> you can always add it to favorites in dolphin
[15:46] <stuq> right clickey
[15:46] <stuq> ok folks, I have to make some $$$$
[15:46] <stuq> later
[15:46] <gameboy439> stuq: ok, thanks a lot
[15:46] <stuq> yw ;-)
[15:52] <edgy> Hi, when I do iwlist scanning I get an output with IE: unknown http://pastebin.ca/1362321 what's this and how can I tell the encryption of the AP?
[15:54] <schiste> Hi, firefox is making my laptop crash. Four times in two days, few minutes after I've launched FF, the laptop crash (don't freeze, no messages, just crashig). Would anyone have any idea how to be sure it's Firefox's and how to fix it  ?
[15:54] <schiste> I don't really want all the stuff stored in my FF
[15:56] <natschil> schiste: maybe asking in #firefox could give you more help if it seems to be a FF bug...
[15:56] <schiste> a Firefox bug would make Firefox crash
[15:56] <schiste> not the laptop
[15:58] <natschil> schiste: it could make the entire laptop crash as well.
[15:58] <natschil> does dmesg| grep ERR give any output?
[15:58] <natschil> or dmesg |grep err?
[15:59] <schiste> no
[15:59] <schiste> many with interrupt
[16:02] <ct529> hi there
[16:03] <ct529> I would like to receive a file by bluetooth .... I have installed kdebluetooth4, but it does not work .... even if I can send a file OK.
[16:03] <ct529> anyone who can help?
[16:03] <ct529> !info bluetooth
[16:29] <sunshine> hallo
[16:30] <sunshine> kann mir jemand sagen, ob 8.04 noch supportet ist und wie ich Pidgin dann auf die aktuelle Version kriege?
[16:30] <sunshine> ich dachte 8.04 wird noch supportet
[16:30] <Slartibartfast> !de
[16:31] <sunshine> sorry vergesse das immer,
[16:31] <sunshine> well 8.04 is still supported? If so is there a way to update pidgin to the recent version, because 2.5.2 doesn't work
[16:32] <Slartibartfast> maybe when you activate the backports ? .... not sure though
[16:33] <Slartibartfast> when it's not in the backports, you also can try to compile it yourself ... have done this in the past a few times
[16:34] <sunshine> well but this might not be the way it should be done
[16:34] <Slartibartfast> why not? :-) ...
[16:34] <sunshine> well lts means lts in my mind
[16:35] <Slartibartfast> yeah, but why need the newer software which is maybe  not supported
[16:36] <sunshine> Slartibartfast: ICQ is not working with it
[16:36] <Slartibartfast> if you just don't want to run kde4 you also can install debian lenny ... which is also using kde 3.10 ... not sure though which version of pidgin they have
[16:36] <sunshine> so i'll need to upgrade
[16:37] <Slartibartfast> mmmm
[16:37] <sharidog> hell
[16:37] <sharidog> o
[16:37] <sharidog> i need change resolution.. i cant use graphic mode cus i dont see all buttons.. so pls a solution in text mode
[16:38] <Slartibartfast> but i am not sure if you can update with the backports ... but here in 8.10 that option says "unsupported updates"
[16:38] <Slartibartfast> sunshine: so maybe you also don't want that
[16:38] <Slartibartfast> sunshine: but if you compile from source you know you have the latest version
[16:43] <ct529> I cannot set my laptop to receive bluetooth files .... but I can send them! What is wrong with it?
[16:44] <Slartibartfast> ct529: because bluetooth got seriously broken in kde 4
[16:44] <ct529> we have paired the devices, but the mobile phone cannot send the files to the laptop
[16:44] <ct529> Slartibartfast: :(
[16:44] <Slartibartfast> here the same :-(
[16:45] <ct529> Slartibartfast: so what can we do?
[16:45] <Slartibartfast> maybe it woks in gnome .. don't know though never tried
[16:45] <ct529> Slartibartfast: I can actually use obextool to see files on the mobile phone, and download them .... but cannot send the files form the mobile phone to the laptop .... :(
[16:46] <sunshine> Slartibartfast: ŵell so i'll see what i do
[16:46] <Slartibartfast> ct529: yeah .. here also always a failed message ... have to find work-arounds ... and hope it will get better in a newer release
[16:48] <Slartibartfast> sunshine: if you compile it will get installed by default in /usr/local/ that won't harm you system
[16:49] <sunshine> It has nothing to do with kde4 i just don't want to much administration and so i thought long time support will backport every major changes as they do for firefox
[16:49] <sunshine> checkinstall is another option
[16:49] <nao> salut
[16:49] <ct529> Slartibartfast: have you tried kde 4.2?
[16:50] <Slartibartfast> yeah .. using it on my intrepid installation now
[16:50] <sunshine> Slartibartfast: upgrading to intrepid isnt supported, or?
[16:50] <nao> y'a des francais dans le coin ?
[16:50] <ct529> Slartibartfast: did things improve?
[16:52] <Pici> !fr | nao
[16:52] <Slartibartfast> uuhh ... ct529 about bluyetooth problem and sunshine about pidgin problem :-) ... wait a moment ..  have pidgin 2.5.2 though :-)
[16:55] <Slartibartfast> ct529: strangly i still can not connect to my laptop :-(
[16:57] <ct529> Slartibartfast: what do you mean? not even with obextool?
[17:00] <Slartibartfast> how you want me to test? ... i have kdebluetoothd running and obex server checked in the icon settings
[17:00] <fernando> how can I specify my keaboard??

[17:43] <cajun> is there a way to turn off autostarting of compiz-fusion and awn in kde but allow it to continue to autostart in gnome?  2 separate sessions with only 1 open at a time for instance.

[18:21] <fabro> hey
[18:21] <mike_> its 8 piont something
[18:21] <Borg7-9> mike_ ok
[18:21] <Borg7-9> how long have you use kubuntu
[18:22] <mike_> less than a week
[18:22] <Borg7-9> hmm
[18:22] <Borg7-9> you know the K button right
[18:22] <Borg7-9> :D
[18:23] <mike_> yeah
[18:23] <blahjake> open a command prompt (e.g konsole) and enter: lsb_release -a
[18:24] <Borg7-9> so go to find setting
[18:24] <Borg7-9> s
[18:24] <mike_> 8.04.2
[18:25] <fabro> I'll try like this: can anyone help me with 2 tings? 1: I'm only getting 2 options of the size of the screen (and they're big), 2: I can't play any mp3 or videos
[18:25] <fabro> (i've got Kubuntu 8.10)
[18:26] <tkmr> Fabro: Make sure you have drivers for your video card?
[18:27] <mike_> had that problem last week fabro
[18:27] <fabro> tkmr: how?
[18:27] <Borg7-9> fabro hot to hardware drivers
[18:27] <Borg7-9> :D
[18:27] <Borg7-9> go*
[18:29] <mike_> so anyone know how to convert mp3 to wav?
[18:29] <doleyb> mike_: it can't be too hard!  do you like gui or cli?
[18:30] <mike_> whats that?
[18:30] <tkmr> gui = Graphical User Interface, CLI: Command Line Interface
[18:30] <fabro> It says that it has "HDA NVidia (ALC888 Analog)"
[18:30] <mike_> gui
[18:30] <doleyb> mike_: well, for a Command Line Interface you can run mpg321 file.mp3 -w file.wav
[18:31] <mike_> where would i run that?
[18:31] <doleyb> mike_: you'd run that from konsole.
[18:31] <tkmr> fabro: Did you go to Nvidia's website and download proprietary drivers, or did you activate proprietary drivers through Kubuntu?
[18:31] <mike_> thatnks i'll try it
[18:31] <fabro> only through the instalation
[18:32] <doleyb> mike_: you may first need to sudo apt-get install mpg321
[18:33] <tkmr> fabro: Do you know what video card you have?
[18:33] <mike_> i did that and typed the line now what do i do?
[18:34] <doleyb> mike_: Well what did you type, and what happened?
[18:34] <fabro> i know it's on board and I know the code for the chipset
[18:34] <fabro> (I'm looking for it in the webpage)
[18:34] <mike_> it set up a program
[18:35] <doleyb> mike_: Ok, so now run mpg321 file.mp3 -w file.wav
[18:35] <mike_> i did the install command then typed the line you gave me
[18:36] <mike_> it say no such file or directory when i do that
[18:36] <tkmr> fabro: if you're able to find the correct drivers for Linux download and install them. If that doesn't work, try posting on the forums. As for your MP3/Video playback not working, make sure you have the correct codecs installed.
[18:36] <fabro> It doesn't give me the option to look for a Linux driver, only gives me Win, does that mean that I'm fucked up?
[18:36] <doleyb> mike_: well looks like you weren't in the right directory.  You can first "cd ~/Desktop" or whatever, or you can add that to the filename you provide.
[18:36] <fabro> and how do I get the codecs?
[18:36] <doleyb> mike_: Alternatively, you might like to sudo apt-get install soundkonverter
[18:37] <tkmr> Fabro: unfortunately that means that there are no linux drivers for your video card from Nvidia. =(
[18:38] <doleyb> !medibuntu|fabro
[18:38] <fabro> ok, I'll have to try to get lucky or come across some money (to buy a new one), jej
[18:38] <fabro> ok, I'll go through there, tanks
[18:39] <dac_> Join ##ufo
[18:39] <fabro> thanks*

[20:14] <vince_> hi hall
[20:21] <adrian_> witam
[20:45] <martyw> i can't get my computer to recognize my sd card
[20:45] <martyw> it's a laptop.  Running kubuntu.
[20:46] <martyw> there are two card readers built into the laptop.  one is for storage expansion, the other is just a card reader.
[20:46] <martyw> I put the card into the computer, and nothing happens.
[20:46] <martyw> it doesn't show up as an available device that's been attached like my digicam, ipod, palm pilot, etc all do
[20:46] <martyw> it doesn't pop up the obligatory "you have connected a device" message either

[20:56] <JamesCC> What is the name of the Widget for the virtual desktop siwtcher? I've somehow lost and don't see it in the list.
[20:56] <brzi> Did anybody have xine problems after kubuntu upgrade. Kaffeine and amarok players are throwing some kind of 'missing xine' errors.
[20:57] <p_quarles> JamesCC: pager
[20:57] <JamesCC> p_quarles: thanks.
[20:58] <brzi> If only someone could point me to some page that could explain to me why is xine engine broken after that upgrade
[20:58] <JamesCC> brzi: yeh, klibido gives a similar error, but after I reinstalled it the msg went away. Think it is a dependency issue.
[20:59] <brzi> is kibido also a player or?
[20:59] <brzi> ok, i will try to reinstall the kaffeine
[20:59] <brzi> thx for the hint
[21:00] <JamesCC> brzi: no it is actually a usenet binary reader :-/
[21:00] <martyw> I cant find adept.
[21:00] <martyw> how to find it and install it?
[21:01] <brzi> reinstall didn't help
[21:01] <brzi> ??
[21:02] <brzi> anybody: xine engine broken after kubuntu update??

[21:07] <k0pp> JamesCC, that encodes everything and such?  i'm wanting to watch it on my TV
[21:08] <JamesCC> k0pp: No, just a writer.
[21:13] <JamesCC> How do you force each desktop to have it's own Task Manager widget with only it's windows and not all desktops windows. I just have too many open windows to have them all in one.
[21:14] <doleyb> JamesCC: right-click in that area and do Task Manager settings
[21:15] <JamesCC> doleyb: Thank you!
[21:18] <andypls1> guys how can i resize my partitions?
[21:18] <JamesCC> qtparted
[21:18] <JamesCC> andypls1: qtparted
[21:19] <andypls1> i'm installing it
[21:20] <andypls1> i get a critical error when i am reading it
[21:20] <andypls1> basically
[21:20] <andypls1> my partitions overlap
[21:20] <andypls1> so i want to fix it
[21:20] <andypls1> any idea how?
[21:20] <JamesCC> doleyb: I guess in grid mode the task manager is a fixed image? I notice it shows the same windows in your current desktop in the task manager for all 4 desktops
[21:20] <JamesCC> andypls1: Did you mount 1 on top of the other?
[21:21] <andypls1> no i didn't do anything i am just trying to install a new OS and i figured out that gparted is reporting that error
[21:21] <JamesCC> They overlap? This is what you know for sure or just you have a error?
[21:22] <andypls1> it's givving an error message
[21:22] <andypls1> Cannot have overlapping partitions.
[21:22] <andypls1> that's what it says
[21:24] <chris_> hi
[21:25] <JamesCC> andypls1: sounds like you need to change the ending cylinder for which ever partition, if you don't mind data loss on that partition. If you do, back up the partition first? This is the only way I know how...sorry I can't help more :-/
[21:25] <chris_> i'm trying to play a .bin file in vlc. it used to work, but now i cannot play any (even the ones that used to work). according to vlc, it is configured with --enable-cdio and --enablevcdx. how can i play .bin files again?
[21:25] <sourcemaker> !info m4a
[21:26] <andypls1> JamesCC that's exactly what i want to do
[21:26] <andypls1> but how?
[21:26] <sourcemaker> !m4a
[21:30] <JamesCC> andypls1: I thinks fdisk can do that.
[21:31] <JamesCC> andypls1: or cfdisk.

[21:41] <javi> hi
[21:42] <javi> has the plasma "could not find requested component" problem been solved?
[21:42] <dr_willis> !find kpilot
[21:42] <JamesCC> andypls1: I have only edited partitions once for the purposes of boundaries, and that link I gave you is not the way I did it. No, I can't remember how I did it, thought it was fdisk though. It has been far too long.

[21:54] <andypls1> JamesCC that's way to advance for me
[21:54] <andypls1> what i want to do is very simple
[21:54] <racecar56> i need help, it's a really weird glitch i have, i previously installed firefox 2.0.0.20 on dapper with ubuntuzilla but then i decided i'd like to use the ubuntu patched version (1.5.0.15blabhblah) instead, it seems no matter how many times i reinstall firefox i don't have an /usr/bin/firefox, and /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox is the 2.0.0.20! how do i get rid of 2.0.0.20?

[21:59] <BigMike2448> Hi, I've just put kubuntu on a new computer, and I'm having trouble getting networking to work.
[21:59] <BigMike2448> The ethernet card is a reltek8101E that should use the r8169 module
[21:59] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: What kind of networking?
[21:59] <sixofour> how do i make my clock use am/pm and not this..uh...european time?
[22:00] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: ADSL? DHCP?
[22:00] <BigMike2448> I loaded the module and connected everything, but dhclient is telling me that no DHCPOFFERS are recieved.
[22:00] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: DHCP
[22:00] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: you use networkmanager?
[22:01] <Lyrra> Hey guys, I have a question. Does anyone know if theres a KDE equivilant of gnome-ppp?
[22:01] <BigMike2448> I tried at first, but it didn't connect, either.
[22:01] <pseudoruprecht> Lyrra: yep, kppp
[22:01] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: did you remove the entries networkmanager created from /etc/network/interfaces?
[22:01] <Lyrra> thanks a bunch
[22:02] <BigMike2448> I've just noticed that after loading the r8169 module, I have both an eth0 and a eth0:avahi entry in ifconfig
[22:02] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht:  I'll check that
[22:02] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: you have to use eth0
[22:02] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: /etc/network/interfaces only has lo
[22:03] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: That's what I've been trying, but no luck :/
[22:04] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: what did you try? ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0?
[22:05] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: Yes -- no luck
[22:06] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: was eth0 up and - perhaps - still grabbed by networkmanager?
[22:06] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: Possibly -- I'm still new to kubuntu from gentoo, so I'm not sure how to check if network manager is locking anything.
[22:06] <BigMike2448> how can I find out?
[22:08] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: enter the correct info for DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[22:09] <BigMike2448> Ok -- will do :)
[22:09] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: this should "steal" the interface from networkmanager
[22:09] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: but I wonder why you have to manually load the module? did you recompile the kernel?
[22:10] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: usually it should be autoloaded
[22:10] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: on boot, i mean
[22:10] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: Thats what I thought, too. This is a brand new install, maybe a quick reboot will fill it out for me ;)
[22:11] <lutiusveratius> !hidden files
[22:12] <lutiusveratius> Hey,I want to see hiden files in home directory...CTRL+H is not working...any idea?
[22:12] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: did you use the Desktop LiveCD for install? If your network uses DHCP, it should already have been detected then.
[22:12] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: in the Live environment
[22:13] <lutiusveratius> Hey,I want to see hiden files in home directory...CTRL+H is not working...any idea?
[22:13] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: Nope -- I just selected install from the boot menu
[22:14] <lutiusveratius> BluesKaj , here maybe?
[22:14] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: i see. still, after the first boot into the freshly installed system, eth0 should have been there
[22:15] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: Reboot didn't do it. I'm populating it manually now.
[22:15] <lutiusveratius> pseudoruprecht : do you maybe know how can I see hidden files in Doplhin File Manager?
[22:16] <BigMike2448> pseudoruprecht: to answer your question earlier (I just saw it ;) ), this is with the stock kernel.
[22:16] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: OK. It's a wireless card, isn't it?
 try alt +
[22:17] <lutiusveratius> gee : alt + is not working too
 try alt +. sorry
[22:17] <BigMike2448> This is just the regular wired ethernet. It is working now with the correct entries in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:17] <lutiusveratius> gee : thanks,it worked
[22:18] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: great!
[22:18] <BigMike2448> :) Thanks for the help! Wireless is next, but hopefully won't be as much of a pain.
[22:21] <doleyb> Normally wired is a lot easier though :( be scared
[22:21] <pseudoruprecht> BigMike2448: with networkmanager it should be easy - IF your card is supported ;)
[22:24] <jcmyers> hey does anyone know what to do when you get this error in adept:

[22:27] <jcmyers> it says i have held broken packages
[22:28] <joshjtl> ah yes
[22:28] <jcmyers> won't fix it in synaptic either
[22:29] <joshjtl> try this: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:29] <joshjtl> then
[22:29] <joshjtl> sudo apt-get install -f
[22:29] <joshjtl> if you haven't already

[22:37] <Freddy2> anyone having problems on hardy with today's updates?
[22:37] <jcmyers> ok
[22:45] <alumno0> Hallo, Can any tell me how to configure dolphin in spanish in kubuntu 8.04? Thanks
[22:46] <cassperghost> hello can I upgard kubuntu 6.10 to 8.10 ?
[22:46] <joshjtl> cassperghost: that is a huge upgrade, i would download a new iso
[22:47] <joshjtl> alumno0: I imagine you go to "system settings" then to "reginal & language"
[22:47] <joshjtl> rgional
[22:47] <joshjtl> damn
[22:47] <joshjtl> regional i mean
[22:49] <cassperghost> joshlist I have only one partition, and I would not erase data!
[22:49] <cassperghost> joshjtl: I have only one partition, and I would not erase data!
[22:53] <alumno0> Sorry... Yes I did that, but nothing happened. Most applications are ok, but not dolphin
[22:55] <tuxi_tx_> cassperghost: what filesystem are you using?
[22:56] <cassperghost> ext3
[22:56] <Laeborg> anyway to install .NET 2.0 ?
[22:58] <cassperghost> tuxi_tx: can i upgard to kubuntu 7.x ?
[22:59] <tuxi_tx> you can try a step-by-step upgrade, but you really need to bite the bullet and put your /home and other data on a separate partition
[23:00] <tuxi_tx> step-by-step -- 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10
[23:01]  * pteague cries that kdiff3 isn't in intrepid
[23:01] <cassperghost> tuxi_tx : how can I do it?
[23:01] <tuxi_tx> let me think, cassperghost
[23:02] <cassperghost> tuxi_tx : ok, Thanks
[23:04] <tuxi_tx> cassperghost: stab in the dark -- back up your data first, burn the old isos, make the CD the only repository available and try updating that way (disconnect from the internet)
[23:04] <tuxi_tx> since you have your data backed up, get the 8.10 CD and reformat with a second partition ;-)
[23:05] <cassperghost> tuxi_tx : good idea thank you very much, I will try it
[23:05] <tuxi_tx> best of luck
[23:14] <pgreptom> Hello.  Just today i apt-get upgrade'd.. and now kdebase-workspace-bin won't install.  It says  kdebase-workspace-bin: Depends: kdebase-workspace-data (= 4:4.2.1a-0ubuntu1~intrepid3) but 4:4.2.1a-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 is to be installed... google only returns 2 results, but no fix.  Any idea?  Plasma won't even run :/

[23:30] <Mr_Grieves||> Is there a howto for getting fglrx working in 8.10?
[23:30] <Mr_Grieves||> Or are we still waiting for ATI to catch up with xorg?
[23:31] <Ace2017_-> fglrx doesn't work?
[23:31] <Mr_Grieves||> Ace2017_-: I dunno -- I'm googling around, and all that shows up are old posts about how fglrx doesn't work with the xorg shipped with 8.10
[23:32] <Mr_Grieves||> I haven't used fglrx in years, so I'm a bit behind on where it's at :)
[23:33] <Ace2017_-> Mr_Grieves||: usually you install the fglrx stuff and the fglrx source, then sudo m-a a-i fglrx
[23:34] <iwantfool> hey
[23:34] <iwantfool> i am trying to install flash player
[23:35] <Mr_Grieves||> Ace2017_-: m-a a-i?
[23:35] <iwantfool> and i downloaded it, but when it prompts me to enter the installation path of mozilla, it doesn't accept /usr/lib/mozilla
[23:35] <iwantfool> what's the problem?
[23:36] <Ace2017_-> Mr_Grieves||: module assistant
[23:36] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: why not use the repos?
[23:37] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[23:37] <iwantfool> what is the repos?
[23:37] <Mr_Grieves||> Ace2017_-: Ah -- thanks :) One more quick question, how can I find out which package provides the ath5k module? Google isn't my friend today...
[23:39] <iwantfool> sorry i am very new to ubuntu what is the command to isntall  adobe-flashplugin?
[23:39] <Ace2017_-> Mr_Grieves||: apt-file search ath5k.ko, apt-file lets you find what packages contain what before installing them, very useful when you get errors saying some file or other wasn't found
[23:40] <Mr_Grieves||> Just what I was looking for -- thanks :)
[23:40] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: alt+f2 > type in the program you want to run, to get a command line run konsole
[23:40] <iwantfool> i am running "apt-get install  adobe-flashplugin"
[23:40] <iwantfool> under ubuntu
[23:40] <iwantfool> (not kubuntu)
[23:40] <Ace2017_-> ,,,
[23:41] <Ace2017_-> shouldn't you be in #ubuntu?
[23:41] <iwantfool> E: Couldn't find package adobe-flashplugin
[23:41] <iwantfool> why am i getting that error?
[23:41] <iwantfool> because people here are more friendly
[23:41] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: what version of ubuntu? it says to enable 3rd party repos
[23:41] <iwantfool> 8.10
[23:42] <iwantfool> what should i do?
[23:42] <iwantfool> :(((
[23:42] <leonids> iwantfool: try searching for flashplugin-nonfree
[23:42] <iwantfool> ok it's installing that
[23:42] <leonids> iwantfool: that is the package name for the adobe flash plugin
[23:43] <iwantfool> ok is it going to be up to date?
[23:43] <leonids> after it finishes installing, just close your browser, reopen your broswer, and you should have flash installed
[23:43] <Ace2017_-> you'll want to update the whole system
[23:44] <Ace2017_-> install synaptic
[23:44] <iwantfool> guys i don't understand what you mean
[23:44] <iwantfool> i installed it with apt-get install
[23:44] <iwantfool> what is install synaptic?
[23:44] <leonids> iwantfool: that is all you need to do
[23:44] <Ace2017_-> apt-get install synaptic
[23:44] <iwantfool> my question is if that version is the newst one?
[23:45] <Ace2017_-> then run synaptic from alt+f2, hit reload then install the updates
[23:45] <leonids> iwantfool: enter this command into the terminal    dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree
[23:45] <leonids> (that is a lowercase "L")
[23:45] <Ace2017_-> well if you had synaptic you could search for flash, then pick it in a list and see what version it is
[23:45] <leonids> dpkg -l will let you know what the version number is
[23:46] <leonids> nixternal: kde doesn't suck
[23:46] <nixternal> huh?
[23:46] <Ace2017_-> leonids: is there a better command for that? one in which you don't have to install the package before getting info
[23:46] <leonids> nixternal: i just thought i would let you know that kde 4.2.1 is pretty cool.
[23:46] <iwantfool> guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys
[23:46] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: yes?
[23:46] <nixternal> oh, I didn't even recognize you dude :p
[23:47] <iwantfool> ok i got youtube to work :) the problem is that when i go to add/remove programs and search for "flash" it doesn't show me that package
[23:47] <iwantfool> like adept manager used to do under kubuntu
[23:47] <iwantfool> how am i supposed to get synaptic to work?
[23:47] <Ace2017_-> alt+f2, type synaptic then run it
[23:48] <iwantfool> ok thx :)
[23:48] <iwantfool> that work
[23:49] <iwantfool> so when it's green it means it's installed
[23:49] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: right click on them, and yes green=installed
[23:50] <iwantfool> ok perferct :)
[23:50] <iwantfool> now i have another problem
[23:50] <iwantfool> i am trying to install my nvidia drivers
[23:50] <iwantfool> and i have to run their program without the X running
[23:50] <iwantfool> now i need to edit /etc/inittab
[23:50] <iwantfool> but that file doesn't exist in my ubuntu
[23:50] <dr_willis> nvidia has X and non-X tools to configure their stuff
[23:50] <Ace2017_-> there are other ways to install nvidia drivers
[23:50] <iwantfool> and google didn't really help me
[23:51] <iwantfool> how?
[23:51] <dr_willis> ubuntu dosetn use inittab  :)
[23:51] <iwantfool> so what should i do?
[23:51] <dr_willis> at least not the way most other disrtos do
[23:51] <dr_willis> what are you trying to do exactly?
[23:51] <iwantfool> btw now i am using peguin but i will soon install konversation cause it was better
[23:51] <iwantfool> dr_willis install my nvidia drivers
[23:52] <dr_willis> iwantfool:  install them how? using repo? or envyng or the nvidia.com whatever.run ?
[23:52] <dr_willis> and you HAVE tried the repo?
[23:52] <iwantfool> i downloaded the drivers
[23:52] <iwantfool> from their site
[23:52] <iwantfool> but to install them
[23:52] <iwantfool> i need the X to not be running
[23:52] <iwantfool> so that's my problem
[23:52] <iwantfool> how to kill it and work from the console
[23:53] <dr_willis> YOU have tried the nvidia drivers in the repos first?
[23:53] <iwantfool> no
[23:53] <Ace2017_-> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-source
[23:53] <dr_willis> then Do so.. the nvidia.com ones are the LAST ones to try
[23:53] <dr_willis> !nvidia | iwantfool
[23:53] <iwantfool> ok
[23:53] <dr_willis> windows training kicking in i knopw.. :)
[23:53] <iwantfool> hm.. not really
[23:53] <dr_willis> 'go to site.. get stuff, overlook the way the disrto makers made it easier'
[23:54] <iwantfool> i have been using kubuntu but i broke it so now i am using ubuntu
[23:54] <iwantfool> but i stiill suck
[23:54] <Ace2017_-> gnome really lacks functionality
[23:54] <dr_willis> the hardware-driver tool in the menus/panel should have poped up and asked abouyt the drivers also
[23:54] <iwantfool> i just thought drivers isn't something to get from adept manager/synaptic
[23:54] <dr_willis> iwantfool:  thers tons of drivers in the repos. :)
[23:54] <Motorious> hey folks, I had a quick question to all of the Kubuntu users out there.  I am currently dual booting ubuntu with gnome, have no issues, but have always liked the look of the  KDE interface.  I have previously used KDE versions of opensuse and found KDE 4 to be too unstable for my taste.  I also prefer the Ubuntu distrobution.  Question is, how stable is KDE 4.2.x, and how well is it...
[23:55] <Motorious> ...integrated with Ubuntu?
[23:55] <dr_willis> kde4.2 works 'ok' :)
[23:55] <dr_willis> your mileage may varry dependin on the system
[23:55] <iwantfool> E: Package nvidia-glx has no installation candidate
[23:55] <iwantfool> Ace your command...
[23:55] <dr_willis> iwantfool:  update, upgrade,m and try again.
[23:55] <iwantfool> let me try synaptic
[23:55] <iwantfool> what?
[23:55] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade,  then try it again
[23:56] <dr_willis> thats a #1 thig to do :)
[23:56] <iwantfool> ok
[23:56] <dr_willis> also depending onyour card.. will dictate What nvidia-XXXXX package you want
[23:56] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: i think dr_willis's way is better
[23:56] <iwantfool> why am i running those commands?
[23:56] <dr_willis> iwantfool:  to update your pakage maanger cache and system
[23:56] <dr_willis> otherwise things are out of sync
[23:56] <dr_willis> !apt
[23:57] <dr_willis> the gui package manager tool will proberly auto-do it :)
[23:57] <iwantfool> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-source now?
[23:57] <Ace2017_-> no
[23:57] <dr_willis> !find jockey
[23:57] <Motorious> dr_willis: thanks for the answer...just a basic Pentium 4 2.8 ghz, 1.5 gigs ram, 2 HDD's 1 Sata in RAID, Nvidia 7800 GS agp...
[23:57] <Ace2017_-> iwantfool: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[23:58] <dr_willis> or just run 'kdesudo jockey-kde' to let the gui tool get the drivers
[23:58] <iwantfool> i don't have kde
[23:58] <Ace2017_-> dr_willis: iwantfool is using gnome
[23:58] <dr_willis> iwantfool:  then use the other one.
[23:58] <dr_willis> note teh -gtk at the end. :)
[23:58] <Motorious> I found KDE 4, plasma (plasmoid??...in any case the desktop widget program) crashed constantly, does it still happen?
[23:58] <Ace2017_-> no
[23:59] <dr_willis> Motorious:  Kde4 is a work in progress.. it crashes.. if you want a totally stable desktop avoide it.
[23:59] <dr_willis> Motorious:  its improveing every month...
[23:59] <Motorious> kk, thanks for the info:)
[23:59] <dr_willis> 'linux - Your Os Your Way' :)
