| ActionParsnip | crazy stuff | 00:02 |
| JohnH3 | I have a problem when switching to virtual terminal in kubuntu - it sometimes logs me out of my GUI session | 00:03 |
| JohnH3 | Anyone have any idea? | 00:03 |
| JohnH3 | is there anyone out there? | 00:04 |
| contrast | ActionParsnip: yeah, i saw that. very interesting. | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bit ott | 00:07 |
| contrast | JohnH3: sounds like a graphics driver issue. ati? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | its like 3DNA for windws | 00:07 |
| JohnH3 | NVidia actually - 8400GS | 00:07 |
| contrast | ott? | 00:07 |
| contrast | JohnH3: which driver are you using? | 00:08 |
| JohnH3 | nvidia 180 | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ott = over the top | 00:08 |
| contrast | the one in the repos? and which release of kubuntu? | 00:08 |
| contrast | JohnH3: ^ | 00:09 |
| JohnH3 | 8.04. I think I installed Nvidia 180 manually, but I also think I had the problem before that when I was using 177 | 00:09 |
| contrast | JohnH3: maybe try logging into a failsafe session and see if it still does it? you using kde3 or 4? | 00:11 |
| === brenda is now known as HoTwheels_granny | ||
| demi | in KDE4 How do i take 1600x1200 resolution off Auto? i would prefer 1280x960 be Auto | 00:12 |
| demi | that is why everytime i restart it goes to 1600x1200, I want that auto off. | 00:12 |
| JohnH3 | ok, I'll try that later - I need to stay booted up for now. I'm using kde3 by the way. | 00:12 |
| contrast | demi: did you already change it in System Settings -> Display? | 00:12 |
| JohnH3 | Thanks contrast | 00:12 |
| contrast | JohnH3: np, good luck | 00:13 |
| demi | i chose 1280x960, but when i reboot it goes back to the Auto 1600x1200 | 00:13 |
| contrast | JohnH3: by failsafe session, i meant from the login screen, not the boot menu | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | demi: set the leftmost res in xorg.conf to be your desired res | 00:13 |
| contrast | demi: what kinda graphics card? | 00:13 |
| demi | it says auto by 1600x1200 and no others, and i dont know how to change that. | 00:13 |
| JohnH3 | Oh I see ....in that case .... | 00:13 |
| demi | ATI radeon X1800xt | 00:13 |
| contrast | demi: did you change it in Catalyst also? | 00:14 |
| devilsadvocate | demi, auto as in refresh rate? :/ | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | demi: kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:14 |
| contrast | devilsadvocate: auto as in res | 00:14 |
| demi | nah just says auto next to the resolution, im nto sure, but thats what it keeps chaning too after i restart. | 00:14 |
| demi | Hey I did change it in my catalyst drivers let me try that, i tried adding lines in xorg.conf to set my res but that caused X to hang and not respond upon reboot. | 00:15 |
| demi | Brb though. | 00:16 |
| contrast | battery's gettin' low. peace, y'all | 00:17 |
| demi | Ok i changed my settings in my Catalyst Drivers, also, but it still restarts back in 1600x1200 | 00:21 |
| demi | what do i add into xorg.conf, i used my papers form Freebsd, assuming its the same thing in this xorg.conf to add resolutions. | 00:21 |
| demi | But it caused X not to respond. | 00:22 |
| demi | What do i add in my xorg.conf to set resolution to 1280x960* upon reboot, because that has to be whats causing my prob. | 00:29 |
| Tirili | Can I start X with the command startx as a user in a shell as I can do it in other distros? It doesn't know the command startx here. :( | 00:29 |
| hernan | hellooooooooooo | 00:29 |
| demi | i got it to work when X was closed Tirili | 00:29 |
| BluesKaj | Tirili, yes , startx is the right cmnd | 00:30 |
| cchisogn | demi: did you check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution? | 00:30 |

| hernan | gamer | 00:36 |
| dr_willis | Thats not a officialy supported version of uibuntu/kubuntu. so they may have their own support channel. Unless its a very gerneal questin | 00:36 |
| hernan | okey | 00:37 |
| hernan | i donwloaded | 00:37 |
| hernan | from tehe page | 00:37 |
| hernan | theeman is realesed it | 00:38 |
| hernan | he realized a 2.1 version too | 00:39 |
| hernan | is based in 8.10 intrepix | 00:39 |
| dr_willis | well that was pointless.... | 00:43 |
| dr_willis | :) | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah kinda | 00:44 |
| demi | Well i added in some display modes bt X when logging out won't respond, i know im doing this right because I would always have to manually add them in using Freebsd. | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | You mean to say the PC freezes when you log out of X ? | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | or at least X freezes.. can you ssh in from anotehr pc? | 00:53 |
| demi | i don't have that setup atm. I did a recovery and restored X, to get back in. | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | last i had a X lockup on logouit - was due to video card drivers.. | 00:54 |
| demi | if I send my xorg.conf in on pastebin, could someone help me to add the lines i need in it to make my comp log in keeping my 1280x960 resolution? | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | You using some odd hardware/conectors? normally X should be able to see what all modes you can use. | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | ive not had to tweak my modes in ages. | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | Not using a KVM switch? DVI lcd monitor? | 00:56 |
| demi | i know how to do this on Freebsd, but this xorg.conf is like empty, and I add the subsection under "screen" and X just wont pick it up, and screen stays black. | 00:56 |
| demi | just using a reg old Dell Trinitron | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | new xorg.conf files are very minimal | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | demi, dvi or vga conection? | 00:57 |
| clover | is kde 4.2.1 in the repo channel. I have kubuntu 8.10 | 00:58 |
| demi | DVI to VGA monitor is VGA so im using an adapter off mycard to vga, but that shold be a prob just converting it. | 00:58 |
| dr_willis | That may be an issue there demi if it was DVI all the way -X would proberly be using the proper modes by default | 00:58 |
| demi | Clover , ionly 4.2.0 is i believe ve upgraded now 10 times and diff reinstalls trying to fix my resolution. | 00:59 |
| dr_willis | best thing i ever did was get rid of my VGA stuff. | 00:59 |
| demi | Yea, Well i getting a new Asus 22" widescreen here soon, but why doesnt this happen on KDE3.5 or Ubuntu Gnome? | 01:00 |
| dr_willis | 'what' happens exactly? | 01:01 |
| dr_willis | The X modes are defined by the xorg.conf or auto-detected. the desktops can switch modes using the xrandr tools.. but other then that. theres not a lot of differances/things that kde3.5/gnome/kde4/OtherDesktops do to the modes | 01:02 |
| demi | Ok, My resolution is now set at 1280x960, i then log out or restart doesnt matter, my once kdm loads or X, my resolution goes 1600x1200, if i then open KDE's Display Manager, it's still set at 1280x960 and refresh's automatically. | 01:03 |
| demi | So bascially i have to load open display each reboot to have my wanted resolution refresh... | 01:03 |
| clover | Hey is kubuntu ok for being used as a web server? | 01:04 |
| demi | It's just really annoying to have to do that each time. | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | clover, it can be used like that. | 01:05 |
| demi | Clover, yes works great, be sure to install Adobe Flash, and Java, for Sites needing it. | 01:05 |
| clover | thank you? | 01:05 |
| dr_willis | demi, so you use the kde tools to set the res to what you like. but it dosent save it for the user. | 01:05 |
| demi | errr Server=\ thought I saw browser..=\ | 01:05 |
| maco | clover: well i dont think kde includes that functionality (but then, it has practically everything)...but no reason you cant install apache | 01:05 |
| demi | it saves it but doesnt refresh to it upon reboot, or if i log out. | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | demi, try a new user. see if works for them.. sounds to me like its just a KDE config/setting issue | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | not a xorg issue | 01:06 |
| demi | Like i said ill log in with 1600x1200, but once i open the display window in KDE it auto goes to my selected resolution. | 01:06 |
| demi | and this would happen over and over after 10 installs? | 01:07 |
| dr_willis | you just said it worked? wati a second.. | 01:07 |
| dr_willis | KDM screenn is 1600x1200, you login with a new user first time.. it is still using 1600x1200 right? you then set the res you want.. and it dosent 'rember' that setting for the user next time he logs in? | 01:08 |
| clover | does anyone have experience with linux user groups. I want to start one due to lack of them in my area | 01:08 |
| demi | Yes, your correct. | 01:08 |
| maco | dr_willis: it remembers it, but it doesnt set it | 01:08 |
| maco | clover: ive no experience with starting one, but im a member of a few | 01:08 |
| demi | aye it still has it remembered, but doesnt apply it upon restart. or logging back in. | 01:09 |
| maco | so this sounds like a bug...."kde session starts at max resolution instead of the one set in system settings" (or whatever the tool is in kde...ive never looked) | 01:10 |
| demi | It's Display under System Settings. | 01:10 |
| maco | do you have to hit "apply" or does it refresh to the right resolution as soon as you look in Display? | 01:10 |
| demi | i have read on various sites of the same user having this problem, but he couldnt find a answer to it, and he tried liek 3+ diff forums/blogs. | 01:11 |
| demi | i do hit apply yes | 01:11 |
| maco | and this is with 8.10? | 01:11 |
| clover | maco> any advice from your experiences? maybe from what you see and how its organized | 01:11 |
| demi | 8.10, updated, or 8.10 upgraded to kde 4.2.0 | 01:11 |
| maco | so it happens with both kde 4.1 and 4.2? | 01:11 |
| demi | Yea=\ | 01:11 |
| demi | kde 3.5 works fine, and gnome, refreshs to my chosen resolution. | 01:12 |
| demi | Wouldnt, adding in my own res into xorg.conf force it to use that no matter? | 01:12 |
| demi | i just wish X wouldnt lock up when adding in anything heh. | 01:12 |
| maco | clover: dclug: we meet on the 3rd wed of each month in a borrowed conference room. someone does a presentation each month. sometimes this is someone from a corporation talkng about their awesome software that will make linux sysadmins' lives easier. sometimes its someone talking about this cool foss project they use and how to set it up (asterisk and mythtv were in here) | 01:13 |
| goofey | clover: I think you'll get much more info from http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/User-Group-HOWTO.html that here on that topic | 01:13 |
| maco | clover: novalug meets first saturday of the month in a different borrowed room. they ususaly have 2 or 3 small talks at a meeting instead of 1 2-hour presentation | 01:14 |
| maco | clover: if you're in a city, weekday evenings (like dclug) make sense because people can pop over two blocks down after work | 01:14 |
| maco | clover: novalug is in a suburban area, so saturday mornings make sense for them. take things like that into account | 01:15 |
| clover | where is dclug i live in the area and would love to attend? | 01:15 |

| XPS_M1330 | is there a better DVD Ripper than acidrip? | 01:28 |
| nixternal | heh, never in my life have I ripped a DVD...I kind of feel special...I think Stallman would love me! :p | 01:29 |
| Slartibartfast | XPS_M1330: maybe k9copy is good for you ... something like dvdshrink, but also let you make avi's and mpeg if i am not wrong :-) | 01:31 |
| Slartibartfast | XPS_M1330: otherwise there is also dvdrip ... a pearl program which uses transcode for encoding | 01:32 |
| maco | demi: that's bug 268434 and a workaround to avoid opening Display all the time is to add krandrtray to your startup | 01:32 |
| XPS_M1330 | Slartibartfast: is anyone smarter or more efficient in a way? | 01:32 |
| Slartibartfast | it is just your personal choice ... i am not using any of them ... just tried a long time ago | 01:33 |
| Slartibartfast | try them out | 01:33 |
| XPS_M1330 | some time ago on Mandriva I tried a bunch of rippers and I ended up using acidrip. Now that I have a couple of DVDs to rip I'm wondering if there's one that actually got better | 01:33 |
| XPS_M1330 | ok right | 01:33 |
| XPS_M1330 | thanks | 01:33 |
| XPS_M1330 | acidrip is a 3MB download, dvdrip 11... | 01:34 |
| Slartibartfast | XPS_M1330: So ... ? :-) ... an Xvid of the movie maybe 700MB :-) | 01:35 |

| nixternal | jono: wrong channel :p | 05:51 |
| justinnfx | The first time I tried to install ubuntu was live disk, it messed up my computer. The second time I re-partioned a part of my hdrive fro linux ext3 and that messsed my computer up and I had to reinstall the whole thing. | 05:51 |
| nixternal | messed it up how? removed another partition? | 05:52 |
| jono | heh | 05:52 |
| justinnfx | The thrid time I used WUBI and tried kubuntu, no matter how many time I tired to install it the password did not work | 05:52 |
| nixternal | hi gorgeous! | 05:52 |
| justinnfx | and then it would not uninstall | 05:52 |
| nixternal | hrmm | 05:52 |
| justinnfx | I am afraid now..but I really want to try ubuntu. I built a HTPC and right now have no idea how | 05:53 |
| nixternal | that is odd, don't even know where to begin with wubi | 05:53 |
| === k4v is now known as m4v | ||
| nixternal | do you already have a partition on your machine? ie. Windows or such? | 05:53 |
| justinnfx | I don't want to use wubi I just want to install it on my laptop w/out wrecking it | 05:53 |
| nixternal | so you want to dual boot? | 05:53 |
| justinnfx | On my laptop there is just one partion | 05:53 |
| nixternal | is it a windows partition? | 05:54 |
| justinnfx | actually two because it comes with stock stuff on the beginening but its hidden | 05:54 |
| justinnfx | yes, i never actually ran ubuntu before but tried many times | 05:54 |

| justinnfx | i'm not that stupid i don't know why im having such bad luck | 05:55 |
| nixternal | I have never had the privilege of resizing a pre-existing partition and dual-booting unfortunately, or fortunately for me | 05:55 |

| nixternal | doleyb: ya, I tried wubi on my brother's machine last year and it worked like a champ...after about 3 or 4 months he finally gave in and just installed Kubuntu flat out on it | 05:57 |
| justinnfx | is unix what web host use? | 05:58 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: a majority of web servers are *NIX, yes | 05:58 |
| justinnfx | wubi is easy as can be but for some reason the password did not work, and i tried it twice | 05:58 |
| nixternal | or they used to be...I don't know what the stats are nowadays | 05:58 |
| justinnfx | but i dont want to try it again because isn't like virtual and not the same as a full installation | 05:59 |
| justinnfx | is NIX* like all command line or is it GUI like ubuntu | 05:59 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: no, it is the same as a full installation | 05:59 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: depends on how you install it...you have the option of either-or, or both | 05:59 |
| asobi | why can't amarok play audio cd? | 05:59 |
| nixternal | one you start playing wth the command line and get used to it, your productivity will skyrocket | 06:00 |
| justinnfx | K, if I am going to install ubuntu do I have to resize the disk and put a swap/ext3 partion on it, or will it do it for me | 06:00 |
| nixternal | asobi: hrmm, I haven't even tried playing a CD with amarok in a while...what version of Kubuntu are you running? | 06:00 |
| doleyb | the installer is pretty automatic about that, you just have to say Yes | 06:00 |
| asobi | hardy | 06:00 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: if you dual boot, then you need to resize the partition | 06:00 |
| justinnfx | Can I just throw it on a USB and boot it from usb? | 06:01 |
| nixternal | hrmm, i can't remember back to hardy, been a while :) | 06:01 |
| justinnfx | even if i dont have a second hdrive | 06:01 |
| asobi | do i have to mount cd first? | 06:01 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: yes, there is that option as well, but it is much slower than having it installed on the machine | 06:01 |
| nixternal | asobi: kde3 or kde4? | 06:01 |
| asobi | 3 | 06:01 |
| justinnfx | I need to reseive the partion?....b | 06:01 |
| nixternal | i remember kde3 used to pop up and ask you if you wanted to play the cd | 06:01 |
| justinnfx | I don't have to format it do I? | 06:02 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: if you dual boot, yes you have to resize it, it will get formatted during the installation process for you | 06:02 |
| asobi | it does | 06:02 |
| asobi | but amarok won't play it | 06:02 |
| nixternal | ahhh, OK | 06:02 |
| justinnfx | <--- iNSTALLING UBUNTU | 06:02 |
| asobi | unplayable | 06:02 |
| justinnfx | wait should i install kubuntu instead, or should i keep it easy since my first itme | 06:02 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: good luck :) also, if you are going for Ubuntu and not Kubuntu, check out #ubuntu as well, they have like 3 or 4 times more people in there that could probably help you out better than I could right about now :) | 06:03 |
| nixternal | justinnfx: Kubuntu and Ubuntu will install pretty much the same way, just look a tad bit different... | 06:03 |
| justinnfx | K | 06:03 |
| justinnfx | thanks guys see you soon | 06:04 |
| nixternal | seeing as this is a Kubuntu channel, I would say Kubuntu of course, since I have been using KDE since 1997/1998, but I think since you are just starting out, you should probably try them both out eventually....maybe run them both from the LiveCD for a day or two and see which one you like best | 06:04 |
| nixternal | good luck justinnfx! | 06:04 |
| nixternal | I do not have 1 music cd anywhere near me | 06:04 |
| asobi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=222629 | 06:04 |
| nixternal | actually, the only CDs I have now are in my car | 06:04 |
| nixternal | I want to say that I have heard about this issue in the past | 06:05 |
| nixternal | and maybe even experienced it myself, I just can't remember | 06:05 |
| nixternal | ahh, a forum post.... /me looks | 06:05 |
| maco | music cds dont get mounted | 06:05 |
| maco | and amarok doesnt do cds | 06:05 |
| josh-l | what up dudes | 06:05 |
| maco | oh wait kde 3 | 06:05 |
| maco | no idea what old amarok does | 06:05 |
| nixternal | hey, we are not all dudes in here :p | 06:05 |
| maco | thanks nixternal | 06:06 |
| === Heiwir is now known as Heliwr | ||
| nixternal | maco: the new amarok doesn't play CDs either? | 06:06 |
| josh-l | dudes and dudettes | 06:06 |
| maco | no | 06:06 |
| nixternal | haha, there are aliens too! | 06:06 |
| nixternal | wow, didn't know that | 06:06 |
| nixternal | then again, I only use Amarok to listen to heavy metal feeds on last.fm | 06:06 |
| asobi | Under Settings, check out the Engine tab and see what the default device is (running off old info, so it may not be exact) | 06:06 |
| asobi | try running "cat /etc/fstab" in your terminal and use whatever is listed as your cd-rom drive is the default | 06:06 |
| asobi | what engine tab? | 06:06 |
| maco | i installed sound juicer so i could rip a cd | 06:06 |
| nixternal | asobi: I think under the "Xine Engine" stuff that is in the old settings of Amarok | 06:07 |
| nixternal | trying to remember here | 06:07 |
| asobi | so where's new setting | 06:07 |
| maco | you dont have new amarok so it doesnt matter | 06:07 |
| maco | and well..new amarok doesnt do cds | 06:07 |
| nixternal | the old one did though | 06:08 |
| maco | but nixternal and i are both on the devel version and only have new amarok at our disposal | 06:08 |
| asobi | found it | 06:08 |
| asobi | already set to forum suggestion | 06:08 |
| nixternal | asobi: question, do the CDs play fine in Kaffeine or KSCD? | 06:09 |
| asobi | device node /dev/scd1 | 06:09 |
| asobi | does that matter? | 06:09 |
| nixternal | hrmm.. | 06:09 |
| asobi | no audio cd found by kaffeine | 06:10 |
| nixternal | asobi: no /dev/cdrom in there? | 06:10 |
| nixternal | I have /dev/scd0 and /dev/cdrom | 06:10 |
| asobi | amarok has /dev/cdrom | 06:10 |
| asobi | properties on cd has /dev/scd1 | 06:10 |
| nixternal | it seems that fstab mounts scd0 as /media/cdrom for me | 06:10 |
| asobi | let me try other | 06:11 |
| nixternal | asobi: ls -l /dev/scd1 | 06:11 |
| nixternal | does it point to sr0 | 06:11 |
| nixternal | if so, I am willing to bet that /dev/cdrom points to the same place | 06:11 |
| asobi | not sure what you mean | 06:12 |
| nixternal | maybe try using /dev/sr0 and see if the linking might be an issue...just a suggestion | 06:12 |
| asobi | ? | 06:12 |
| nixternal | ls -l /dev/scd1 | 06:12 |
| nixternal | nixternal@KaboWabo:~/opensource/ubuntu/bzr/KDE/kdegames$ ls -l /dev/scd0 | 06:12 |
| nixternal | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-03-17 14:18 /dev/scd0 -> sr0 | 06:12 |
| maco | asobi: if you do the ls l thing it'll show that with a -> and another /dev/ thing listed | 06:12 |
| nixternal | do you see something like that? | 06:12 |
| maco | yeah see the -> thing | 06:12 |
| nixternal | nixternal@KaboWabo:~/opensource/ubuntu/bzr/KDE/kdegames$ ls -l /dev/cdrom | 06:12 |
| nixternal | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-03-17 19:18 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 | 06:12 |
| nixternal | see, cdrom and scd0 both point to /dev/sr0 | 06:13 |
| nixternal | hrmm, wonder why I am in the kdegames directory | 06:13 |
| maco | asobi: do you have 2 optical drives? | 06:13 |
| asobi | yea | 06:13 |
| maco | nixternal: i would like to know why krunner and terminator both start in ~/Documents | 06:13 |
| nixternal | oooh | 06:13 |
| maco | asobi: ah! thats why | 06:13 |
| asobi | ? | 06:14 |
| maco | nixternal's assuming that there's only 1 cd drive to chec | 06:14 |
| maco | you're looking at the wrong cd drive is all | 06:14 |
| nixternal | that is the same exact issue my brother had...he has a DVD Player and then a DVD/CD Burner | 06:14 |
| asobi | ok... | 06:14 |
| asobi | so? | 06:14 |
| === drh is now known as do0ot | ||
| nixternal | maco: good spot on that, I didnt' even catch the scd1 | 06:14 |
| maco | you could put the cd in teh other drive | 06:15 |
| do0ot | Is there anyway to tell what kind of video card im runing from inside linux? | 06:15 |
| asobi | i tried | 06:15 |
| nixternal | howdy raphink!!! <>< | 06:15 |
| asobi | still fails | 06:15 |
| nixternal | do0ot: lspci | 06:15 |
| maco | or change it to /dev/scd1 if its on /dev/scd0 or fvice versa | 06:15 |
| nixternal | then look for the video card | 06:15 |
| nixternal | do0ot: open up Konsole first, then type lspci of course | 06:15 |
| asobi | change what | 06:15 |
| asobi | and how | 06:15 |
| nixternal | asobi: leave the cdrom in one of the drives, and then change /dev/scd0 or 1 in Amarok like you did before | 06:16 |
| do0ot | M965/GL960 intergrated graphics controler | 06:16 |
| do0ot | ;/ is that bad? | 06:16 |
| nixternal | do0ot: Intel | 06:16 |
| asobi | oh | 06:16 |
| nixternal | do0ot: laptop? | 06:16 |
| nixternal | I love Intel, some people don't because they aren't hardcore NVIDIA or ATI gaming cards | 06:17 |
| do0ot | i want to install Xgl and Compiz ; yah nixternal its a 4 gig of ram , dual core 2ghz machine.. | 06:17 |
| nixternal | but Intel + Linux == oh my heaven :) | 06:17 |
| nixternal | do0ot: all you have to do is install compiz | 06:17 |
| nixternal | do0ot: KDE3 or KDE4? | 06:17 |
| do0ot | 4. | 06:17 |
| maco | i love intel too | 06:17 |
| nixternal | ok, how compiz will work with KDE4 I have no idea | 06:17 |
| asobi | so i have to change it each time? | 06:17 |
| maco | i have that same graphics chip, i think | 06:17 |
| maco | compiz works with kde 4.2 on jaunty | 06:18 |
| nixternal | asobi: you shouldn't have to as long as you put the CD in the same slot everytime | 06:18 |
| nixternal | asobi: I am guessing that it worked? | 06:18 |
| maco | it was there for all of 2 minutes before i tried kwin's compositing | 06:18 |
| nixternal | I don't like Compiz, so I don't know :( | 06:18 |
| asobi | yes | 06:18 |
| do0ot | Maco - could you help me get it running? | 06:18 |
| asobi | thank you | 06:18 |
| nixternal | asobi: groovy! | 06:18 |
| maco | do0ot: no need for Xgl though | 06:18 |
| do0ot | I heard its really cool looking - I dont know , | 06:18 |
| asobi | doesn't read tag ~_~ | 06:18 |
| nixternal | do0ot: no cooler than what KDE4's compositing does | 06:18 |
| asobi | no big deal | 06:18 |
| maco | do0ot: Xgl was needed in the days before all the drivers got support for the hooks compiz needs | 06:19 |
| do0ot | Really? blah I want a k-rad looking desktop so people in coffee shops will be like 'WOW' heh | 06:19 |
| maco | do0ot: why's that blah? | 06:19 |
| nixternal | compiz always worked well for GNOME and I thought it was a bit garbage in KDE 3....KDE 4 I didn't even know would support that stuff | 06:19 |
| maco | xgl is no longer needed to make compiz work. i dont understand the blah. | 06:19 |
| do0ot | Maco - he said that its no cooler then what KDE4's compositing does. | 06:20 |
| maco | ah that | 06:20 |
| maco | it can do more, but most of it is get-in-the-way effects | 06:20 |
| do0ot | super fancy bells and whistels that are terrible | 06:20 |
| maco | the cube and the mac-Exposé-like thing....those are both there | 06:20 |
| nixternal | all I need is true transparency and I am good to go :) | 06:21 |
| do0ot | so apt-get install compiz | 06:21 |
| do0ot | pretty much | 06:21 |
| do0ot | ? | 06:21 |
| nixternal | do0ot: apt-get install compiz-kde | 06:21 |
| maco | yeah | 06:22 |
| maco | er ok that | 06:22 |
| nixternal | now what you do after that I have no idea | 06:22 |
| nixternal | hehe | 06:22 |
| maco | and get compizconfig-settings-manager and fusion-icon | 06:22 |
| nixternal | there used to be some sort of app to get it all working together | 06:22 |
| maco | ccsm is to configure all the effects | 06:22 |
| maco | and the fusion-icon you can add to startup so that you can easily switch between compiz and kwin | 06:22 |
| maco | i need to find a better snack than raw barley | 06:23 |
| do0ot | Wow thishas so many bells and whistles | 06:23 |
| do0ot | im gonna go smoke brb | 06:23 |
| maco | nixternal: can you teleport me some hummus and a non-meat, non-bread, non-carrot, non-celery dunkable? | 06:24 |
| nixternal | man, i read that as humans | 06:25 |
| nixternal | I was like, you want humans but no meat | 06:25 |
| nixternal | hummus, my only veggie food I am not the biggest fan of | 06:25 |
| nixternal | I am hooked on boca burgers..I use them in everything I cook now | 06:25 |
| maco | lol | 06:25 |
| nixternal | just stick your finger in the hummus and scoop it out | 06:26 |
| maco | well i need the hummus too | 06:26 |
| nixternal | then again, that goes against the "non-meat" | 06:26 |
| nixternal | sudo apt-get me some hummus | 06:26 |
| maco | note the teleport request | 06:27 |
| nixternal | 2>/dev/null though on that one | 06:27 |
| nixternal | sudo apt-teleport hummus 2>/dev/null | 06:27 |
| nixternal | that way there you get the hummus, but now the container..I don't know :) | 06:27 |
| maco | mind if i use your kitchen to make lentil burgers some time? i'll share them. | 06:27 |
| maco | mmm lentil burgers | 06:27 |
| nixternal | mmm lentils! anytime | 06:28 |
| nixternal | though, living in this little box here, I really don't have a kitchen | 06:28 |
| maco | bah, thats my issue too | 06:28 |
| nixternal | hot plate ftw! | 06:28 |
| maco | doh i forgot you're not one of the locals | 06:28 |
| nixternal | lol | 06:28 |
| nixternal | ya, Chicago is just 800 mils from DC | 06:29 |
| maco | wonder if i still have a pic of how tiny my kitchen is sitting up on a server... | 06:29 |
| justinnfx | back | 06:29 |
| noren | hi all | 06:30 |
| justinnfx | 50% installating | 06:30 |

| maco | nixternal: two soup bowls, 1 cutting board, and 1 bread knife: my sink is full. oh, and one of those bowls isnt actually *in* the sink | 06:30 |
| nixternal | hahaha | 06:30 |
| justinnfx | I had someone who was going to walk me through the install but hes gone :-( | 06:30 |
| maco | nixternal is still here... | 06:31 |
| maco | ive never installed kubuntu from a live cd | 06:31 |
| noren | justinnfx: : whats the prob | 06:31 |
| nixternal | oh man, 01:30...I need to eat one more snack, watch tv for about 1.5 hours, then fall asleep | 06:31 |
| maco | so i'm taking a step away | 06:31 |
| justinnfx | I was going to sign on with my HTPC currenty running win xp, and he was going to run me through the step to customize | 06:31 |
| do0ot | Ok - these extras for the window manager == blah++ | 06:31 |
| nixternal | sit ups yet....argh!!! | 06:31 |
| nixternal | g'nite all | 06:31 |
| do0ot | im gonna go find an NES emulator | 06:31 |
| do0ot | or try to | 06:31 |
| do0ot | any recomendations? | 06:31 |
| maco | by rich | 06:31 |
| maco | *bye | 06:31 |
| noren | jussi01: : installing kubuntu ?? | 06:32 |
| noren | justinnfx: installing kubuntu | 06:32 |
| chronos | Has anyone been having stability issues lately? I updated my Intrepid and when I did, programs have started randomly crashing, disappearing, etc. Sometimes my computer just locks ups for fun. What gives? | 06:33 |
| justinnfx | How come I have 80gb space free, but win is only letting me shrink to get 4gb free space? | 06:49 |
| doleyb | justinnfx: I wonder if you needed to defrag? nah.. | 06:55 |
| justinnfx | defrag | 06:56 |
| justinnfx | how long will that take | 06:56 |
| cerecitas | morning... does anyone know how to setup skype audio on ubuntu? i've been digging in google but nothing has worked... i listen all the sounds but the micro won't record (micro is not muted i already checked the mixer) | 07:10 |
| felix_ | kubuntu en español | 07:10 |
| felix_ | como me uno a kubuntu en español | 07:10 |
| cerecitas | felix_: probablemente #kubuntu-es | 07:10 |
| huang | hello | 07:11 |
| justinnfx | Ok I used Paragon and I ended up making the unlocated space at the end 75gb in size. Will ubuntu install from the unlocated space while doing dual boot? | 07:13 |
| cerecitas | justinnfx: you will have to select in which space you want to install the os just ask it to install in there | 07:14 |
| cerecitas | i have it in my "second partition" and works | 07:14 |
| justinnfx | Shiiiit paragon partioner did not work it said it wont work with 64 sytem | 07:15 |
| justinnfx | How did you install it | 07:16 |
| justinnfx | Did you have to shrink the first volume first too make space for the second | 07:16 |
| cerecitas | hmmm justinnfx i now only have 1 system but before my windows was in the first space | 07:16 |
| cerecitas | when you run the installation will ask you where to install | 07:17 |
| cerecitas | just install where suits you better | 07:17 |
| justinnfx | what if you have only one big partion | 07:17 |
| justinnfx | do you need to split it up firt | 07:17 |
| cerecitas | yes, filesystems are different for windows and linux | 07:17 |
| cerecitas | you need to split it | 07:17 |
| justinnfx | how did you split it up | 07:17 |
| cerecitas | the tool to install does it on its own | 07:18 |
| justinnfx | oh so you dont have to use windows and shrink your current hdrive | 07:18 |
| cerecitas | hmmm nope i didnt do it that way | 07:18 |
| cerecitas | run the live cd | 07:18 |
| cerecitas | and there is all you need | 07:18 |
| justinnfx | because i tried doing it and it only gave me 4gb and i have like 80gb free! | 07:18 |
| cerecitas | in the install icon, the tool will do everything | 07:19 |
| justinnfx | someone said i first have to make room for it :-( | 07:19 |
| justinnfx | so i waisted all this time deleting stuff | 07:19 |
| justinnfx | how long does it take to defrag a disk someone said that would make the disk shirink better? | 07:19 |
| cerecitas | hmm depends on how many data and how big is the disk | 07:20 |
| cerecitas | not the same 30 than 300 gb | 07:20 |
| noren | justinnfx: use the guided install it will install in the free space available | 07:21 |
| cerecitas | jup | 07:21 |
| justinnfx | i wont have to worry about there not being enough space | 07:21 |
| justinnfx | cause i can only squeeze about 4 gb out if when i shrink it | 07:21 |
| justinnfx | OK | 07:21 |
| justinnfx | i hope i dont screw up my pc valuable stuff one there | 07:22 |
| cerecitas | hmmm | 07:22 |
| cerecitas | justinnfx: | 07:22 |
| cerecitas | make a backup... if you have valuable data, back it up | 07:22 |
| justinnfx | .great i think i ran out of black CD too | 07:23 |
| justinnfx | oh joy | 07:23 |
| noren | justinnfx: : what is the prob exactly, do u want it to have multiboot with windows | 07:24 |
| justinnfx | i have two large thumnb drives | 07:24 |
| justinnfx | YES! | 07:25 |
| justinnfx | whait i found a cd = rW i think | 07:27 |
| ahdach | hay everey body | 07:27 |
| beardbar | hey guys, I have a card reader in my computer, any thoughts on how I can install it? doesnt seem to auto detect when I put a sd flash card in from my camera. | 07:31 |
| cerecitas | noren: i think he wants a dual boot with windows and kubuntu | 07:35 |
| zeltak | hi guys..i know its a bit off topic but does anyone have any experience using 1.5TB on ubuntu? | 07:36 |
| noren | cerecitas: : then whats the prob does he not have enough free space | 07:39 |
| noren | zeltak: 1.5 TB ?? | 07:40 |
| zeltak | hi | 07:40 |
| === ahdach is now known as ssimo | ||
| zeltak | thx for answering noren, no the problem is that fdisk (and other utils) only see the drive as a 500GB HD | 07:41 |
| zeltak | while it is a 1.5 TB drive (i have 4 of those for a RAID setup) | 07:41 |
| cerecitas | hmm noren i think the prob is that he's not really sure on how to do it | 07:42 |
| cerecitas | he was talking of 75gb of unallocated space | 07:42 |
| magnus_ | excuse me, I am new to Linux Kubuntu/ubuntu or any other, but I am currently on Kubuntu now | 07:42 |
| magnus_ | Ive never understood the installation parts yet | 07:43 |
| noren | cerecitas: a guided install in the free space would have been sufficient, and there would have not been any data loss also | 07:43 |
| noren | magnus_: what doo u want to know | 07:43 |
| cerecitas | well not necesarily noren but i personally prefer to backup just in case. | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | well, when i download files | 07:43 |
| cerecitas | i have lost data few times already | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | for instance i just downloaded firefox | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | and it ends up in my home folder, documents | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | fair enough | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | but | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | how do i then install it? | 07:43 |
| magnus_ | its just there, and there is no setup file | 07:44 |
| noren | cerecitas: well may be but i never did !! :) | 07:44 |
| cerecitas | hehe just in case dun want anyone yelling at me because he lost stuff ;p first advice, backup then proceed hihi | 07:44 |
| noren | magnus_: Type sudo apt-get install firefox << in Konsole | 07:44 |
| cerecitas | noren: do you have any idea of the precise name of the package to install to listen mp3? | 07:45 |
| noren | cerecitas: yes its always the best choice than to regret afterwrd | 07:45 |
| noren | cerecitas: i use amarok | 07:45 |
| magnus_ | thx noren | 07:45 |
| maco | magnus_: easiest way to install stuff is to open teh menu and type "adept" in the search box | 07:45 |
| magnus_ | aha "the package manager" file? | 07:46 |
| cerecitas | i dunno someone is having a weird issue and i think it's a codecs question | 07:46 |
| maco | noren: kubuntu-restricted-extras gets all the patented crap | 07:46 |
| maco | magnus_: yes | 07:46 |
| noren | magnus_: maco : is right u can use adept its gui for installing new softwares | 07:46 |
| maco | magnus_: you check off whwat you want, and itll download and install it all for you | 07:46 |
| noren | cerecitas: who ?? ask him/her to install kubuntu extra rep | 07:47 |
| cerecitas | restricted extras? | 07:48 |
| cerecitas | already did | 07:48 |
| magnus_ | hmm well, im in Adept now | 07:48 |
| magnus_ | and at the search tab | 07:48 |
| magnus_ | interface, role, use, and undercategories, and it says "not" behind each of them | 07:48 |
| magnus_ | am i then at the right tab? | 07:49 |
| maco | (note: ive never *used* adept because i'm using the development version, where adept has been replaced....plus, i use the command line for most things) | 07:49 |
| noren | magnus_: Type sudo apt-get install firefox << in Konsole wud hav been easiest | 07:49 |
| maco | *snort* | 07:49 |
| magnus_ | aha okey | 07:49 |
| magnus_ | but what about next time when i download another file | 07:49 |
| maco | but easiest for future reference when you dont know the package name is to use adept | 07:49 |
| magnus_ | i just type sudo apt-get install (program) ? | 07:49 |
| maco | you dont need to download instalrs on your own | 07:50 |
| magnus_ | aha | 07:50 |
| maco | sudo apt-get install ____ will download & install for you. it's what adept uses in its backend | 07:50 |
| noren | magnus_: it will download and install of its own u wont have to downloaad it separatly | 07:50 |
| magnus_ | aha i see | 07:50 |
| magnus_ | hmm i got an error after that command | 07:51 |
| noren | magnus_: in adept go to the search and type firefox >> u will see the files on the right side and frm there u can install | 07:51 |
| maco | exit adept before using apt-get in the command line | 07:51 |
| magnus_ | aha | 07:51 |
| magnus_ | "package firefox is not available, but is referred to another package. This may mean... etc | 07:52 |
| noren | anyone using vlc here, i got issue with the sound it wont come | 07:53 |
| magnus_ | package firefox has no installation candidate | 07:53 |
| magnus_ | what did i do wrong? | 07:53 |
| noren | magnus_: open adept >> go to source list>> activate the repos>> | 07:54 |
| magnus_ | noren , at the source tab? | 07:55 |
| magnus_ | "edit software sources" | 07:56 |
| magnus_ | fetch current package lists" | 07:56 |
| noren | yes >> | 07:56 |
| magnus_ | those are the two possibilities | 07:56 |
| noren | edit source tab >> activate the multiverse | 07:57 |
| noren | cerecitas: maca : sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg << for mp3 support only | 07:57 |
| cerecitas | noren: i use vlc | 07:57 |
| cerecitas | maca? hehe | 07:58 |

| magnus_ | aha i see | 08:08 |
| magnus_ | are there many sites not able to open with konqueror btw? | 08:08 |
| magnus_ | i noticed when i was trying to enter facebook, that it didnt work. | 08:08 |
| magnus_ | and I read at the start, it said that it might not work out with several pages | 08:09 |
| noren | cerecitas: i think u are using the older version of vlc | 08:09 |
| magnus_ | So is it normal to use a second web browser like mozilla /opera etc when you use kubuntu? | 08:09 |
| cerecitas | hmmm no idea noren the one in the repos | 08:09 |
| cerecitas | magnus_: i dunno if it is normal, i only use mozilla...not really fond of konqueror | 08:10 |
| magnus_ | cerecitas aha I see, kind of wanted to try out konqueror considering im using mozilla on my vista computer | 08:10 |
| noren | i use konq and opera,i dont like firefox its too heavy application | 08:10 |
| cerecitas | opera i've never tried, is in the repos noren? | 08:11 |
| noren | yes i guess i got the latest one from the opera site | 08:11 |
| cerecitas | hmmm can't find the browser | 08:12 |
| cerecitas | will pick it from the website | 08:12 |
| noren | !opera | cerecitas | 08:13 |
| ubottu | cerecitas: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 08:13 |
| cerecitas | thx | 08:13 |
| magnus_ | noren it still doesnt work, it got finished and said there was no packages etc, and then i went to the search tab and typed firefox, and it looked like nothing happened | 08:14 |
| magnus_ | and nothing came up | 08:14 |
| noren | !firefox | magnus_ | 08:14 |
| ubottu | magnus_: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins | 08:14 |
| noren | magnus_: its strange | 08:15 |
| noren | close the adept and come to the konsole | 08:15 |
| cerecitas | magnus_: this can look offensive but thats not what i intend... something happens... after typing the name, i take it you hit enter, right? | 08:15 |
| magnus_ | cerecitas hehe np, yeah i do | 08:16 |
| cerecitas | ok... is the kind of things i forget sometimes :p | 08:16 |

| noren | i think the repos are not checked correctly<< if u can go back to the adept >> source >> kubuntu software>> activate all of them.. it will start showing | 08:28 |
| cerecitas | sudo apt-cache search firefox maybe | 08:28 |
| fliegenderfrosch | cerecitas: apt-cache doesn’t need root privileges | 08:28 |
| magnus_ | noren there was only one not checked on the kubuntu software, and that was the source code | 08:29 |
| cerecitas | oh true my bad | 08:29 |
| cerecitas | anyways shower time and 8.5h in jail | 08:29 |

| mni | i need help | 08:36 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 just keep in mind that im really new to kubuntu, so i dont really know alot, so you kind of gotta say it the easy "newb" way | 08:36 |
| mni | i made some translation to my native language | 08:36 |
| mni | and i want to test it | 08:36 |
| mni | and see | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: do you know how to ping in windows? | 08:36 |
| fliegenderfrosch | mni: if you state your problem in a single line it’s more likely to get answered | 08:37 |
| mni | any help on how to do it? | 08:37 |
| cerecitas | well now it is the time... see you and have a nice day | 08:37 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 hmm, I dont know, I guess not, but im at internet on the school, might there be some blocks or something preventing me from getting the updates? | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: in terminal type: ping 91.189.88.37 | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: and press enter | 08:38 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 yeah i did | 08:38 |
| noren | magnus_: that might be the prob......... | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: does it reply? | 08:38 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 it goes "64 bytes from <ip> etc | 08:39 |
| magnus_ | and that refreshes down all the time | 08:39 |
| magnus_ | I guess thats not the reply im supposed to get | 08:39 |
| magnus_ | noren im connected down at the office, which is not through the "studentnetwork" but more like a normal internet | 08:39 |
| magnus_ | and with cable, so i dont really know if thats gonna restrict me | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: the reply should look something like this: 64 bytes from 91.189.88.37: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=15.4 ms | 08:40 |
| magnus_ | yes it does | 08:40 |

| noren | !translation | 08:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about translation | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: add a few lines in there that are formatted like this: nameserver <ip address> | 08:42 |
| fliegenderfrosch | mni: could you give some more detail? what kind of translated files are they? how do you want to test them? | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: you just pinged security.ubuntu.com which mean the logical connection is there but your system isnt changing the name to the ip | 08:42 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 aha | 08:43 |
| magnus_ | when i tried the gksudo command in terminal | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ooops | 08:43 |
| magnus_ | it said "the program is not installd" | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kdesudo kate /etc/resolv.conf | 08:44 |

| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: add more | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: from that site | 08:46 |
| fliegenderfrosch | magnus_: ping security.ubuntu.com doesn’t work? | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: nameserver 4.2.2.2 | 08:46 |
| noren | mni: #ubuntu-doc try here | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: nameserver 208.67.220.220 | 08:46 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 both of them are added | 08:47 |
| noren | ActionParsnip1: thats why i use opendns << its way better | 08:48 |

| nihility | Does anyone know how to make Kubuntu remember window positions and sizes? | 09:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nihility: try ctrl+shift when you click X to close the window | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: you could go hardcore and change all the names in your sources.lst to ip addresses to see if thats better | 09:10 |
| nihility | ActionParsnip1 - Does this have to happen everytime a window is lose? | 09:10 |
| nihility | Closed | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: the fact that you can ping the ip is good as the logical link exists | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nihility: i think that sets it forever more | 09:10 |
| nihility | Ouch.... Ok thanks for the help! | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: and you said you get replys from: ping security.ubuntu.com | 09:11 |

| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 yes if i remember right, Ill try again and check | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | cool | 09:12 |
| fliegenderfrosch | Does anyone know when we can expect new Digikam packages? | 09:12 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : yes i do | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | if you aget replys then dns is doing its job translating the name to an ip | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | so there is something blocking the data. are you on a home network or corporate? | 09:13 |
| === tonyemma is now known as tonyemma_ | ||
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 I am working on a school this week, as an IT-apprentice | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: maybe they are blocking the traffic, smart admins do that sort of thin | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | g | 09:15 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 yeah but this is the school for the age of 14-16, and thisn etwork is not very strict, i know that | 09:16 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 and im connected directly to the internet if im not mistaken, with a cable, and not through the school network | 09:17 |

| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: if te place uses a proxy for web (likely) you will need to cofigure yuor system to use that | 09:20 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 yeah i have to use proxy settings to web browse | 09:21 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 well i just talked to my supervisor here, and he said that I shouldnt be blocked by anything, but there might be a reason that the system that constructs the firewall on this school might make it a bit harder for me | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: then you will need that for apt-get too | 09:22 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 to type in the proxy you mean? | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: sudo export http_proxy=http://myproxy:port | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: change that to fit your settings | 09:23 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : so i am to type the command "sudo export http_proxy=http://proxyip:proxyport? | 09:24 |

| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: you need to specify the port and address of your http proxy | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: in that command | 09:25 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 aha okey, Im taking the computer home tomorrow, so I can try it at home then? | 09:25 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 then the network wont be in my way I suppose | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: i have nearly 0 chance of knowing wjat your proxy name is or what port it uses so you have to fill out those bits of information in the command | 09:26 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 yes, will do | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: absolutely as you will be in a different network | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: schools like to have HTTP proxies to watch what kids look at so you have to go through the same connection | 09:27 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : aha I see | 09:28 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 well, with this network problem I will continue tomorrow, or else i probably will have loads of problems removing the proxy so it works at home etc etc | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: at the moment your system is accessing the default gateway but the data is not addressed to the proxy for external forwarding so it is dropped | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: possibly | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: i think you just export the proxy as "" and its fine | 09:30 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : aha, well, Ill continue that small issue at home, I got loads of other things that i cant handle that i can look at now, considering this is my first time trying out kubuntu | 09:31 |
| ScorpKing | i made a servicemenu to resize and ftp files to a website. here it is - http://paste.ubuntu.com/132929/ - is see that it will only process files in the home directory of the user. if you go to any other picture that is in a few sub directories nothing happens. any idea how to fix it? where can i improve on this script? | 09:32 |
| magnus_ | and i wanna learn alot, because I want to continue using it, so i just gotta learn piece by piece I guess | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: well you will have learned a lot today | 09:32 |
| noren | magnus_: u will always find help here | 09:34 |
| magnus_ | yeah and thats great, think the idea of this channel is awesome | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: theres ##windows too | 09:36 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : is that the help channel for windows users? | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: indeed | 09:36 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : well, windows is alot easier to learn, and most people grow up with it, Linux is alot harder in my opinion, when i installed it and started it up it felt like i didnt know anything | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: you only say its harder as you have far more experience with windows | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: i dont think its any harder at all | 09:37 |
| husayn_ | thats right !!! 100% | 09:37 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : yeah thats true. | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: compare the time you have used windows to how long you have used linux | 09:38 |
| husayn_ | RHCE is just equal to MCSE if you see... but people say RHCE is tought , all because you havnt worked on linux much | 09:38 |
| noren__ | ActionParsnip1: i need help with vlc and sound ?? | 09:38 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : yeah a huge difference, grew up with windows 95 and then tried my way up to vista, so I guess the difference is quite huge in my usage of linux and windows | 09:39 |
| noren__ | magnus_: any other software to install | 09:39 |
| magnus_ | noren hmm well, I dont know much of anything really, so i dont know where to begin to ask you questions im afraid. | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren__: just make sure the sound system is free and that vlc is using the right one (alsa / pulse) | 09:40 |
| noren__ | ActionParsnip1: my dragon player works fine also amarok but not vlc | 09:40 |
| paracetamolo1 | hello | 09:41 |
| paracetamolo1 | sorry to bother you | 09:41 |
| paracetamolo1 | but I got a serious problem | 09:41 |
| paracetamolo1 | korganizer lost my calendar | 09:42 |
| paracetamolo1 | I believe it was an error of Akonadi | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren__: try renaming some or all of these files: http://paste.ubuntu.com/132932/ | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | noren__: and try reinstalling vlc | 09:42 |
| noren__ | how to determine which one i am having alsa or pulse | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !sound | 09:46 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 09:46 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : when I installed linux, i had 3 separate disks, but it only installed one the largest one | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: ok.... | 09:48 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : but i want to format the 2 other disks aswell, so i can use them as storage, because this computer im gonna use as storage, and then i would like to use all 3 disks | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: kdesudo gparted | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: you can format the drives and partition as you see fit ith that | 09:48 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : aha okey, because i just want to get to use the 2 other disks as storage aswell, since they are not used as anything atm | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: thats fine, get them setup as you need. you may need to edit /etc/fstab to make them automount. I think gparted does that stuff for you. i'm not sure | 09:50 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : when i typed in the command it said "command not foudn" | 09:53 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : found* | 09:53 |
| seku | sudo aptitude install gparted kdesudo | 09:54 |
| seku | after that retry | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip1 | seku: he cant apt-get or aptitude as he is behind a proxy | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: if you boot to live cd you can setu pthe disks from there | 09:55 |
| seku | change sources.list to use ftp? | 09:55 |
| seku | well, fdisk is always there and mkfs | 09:57 |
| seku | or cfdisk | 09:57 |
| ScorpKing | paracetamolo1: look in ~/.kde/share/apps/ somewhere. it might be there | 09:58 |
| paracetamolo1 | I looked in apps/korganizer/ | 09:58 |
| paracetamolo1 | there is an std.ics | 09:58 |
| paracetamolo1 | that has few entries, made by me ages ago | 09:59 |
| paracetamolo1 | where does akonadi stores data? | 09:59 |

| === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away | ||
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : do all the drivers automatically install when i install kubuntu? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: drivers for what? | 10:20 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : for everything really, all the hardware | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: if they are on the cd or the hardware is supported by the kernel then yes | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: a lot of hardware will need extra config | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip1 | magnus_: you can lessen this by buying off the HCL. I do and all my hardware works out of the box | 10:21 |
| magnus_ | actionparsnip1 : aha okey, because I built a computer here, with old parts, just to get a storage machine, so I dont got any driver cds, so i just wondered if linux found the drivers and installed them by itself | 10:21 |
| seku | kde with 8.10 was too buggy (nvidia propiertaty driver), so i had to upgrade to development version (which went not so fine, but then again i didn't read any instructions either). | 10:21 |

| BluesKaj | Act1 , why are you worried about the swap partition ? | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | qtparted, should show it | 12:55 |
| Act1 | because my machine have 256 mb RAM =) | 12:55 |
| Act1 | i have swap partition | 12:55 |
| Act1 | but for starting swapon i need write uuid | 12:56 |
| shadeslayer | bazhang: maybe i need to rebuild hal or just reset it | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | you can use gparted live cd to set your partitions | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | !gparted | 12:57 |

| noren | hey which is better pulseaudio or alsa | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | I like geany | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | noren, pulseaudio uses alsa | 13:22 |
| shadeslayer | dr_willis: wrong nick i think | 13:22 |
| shadeslayer | oh sorry | 13:22 |
| * dr_willis dances the samba | 13:22 | |
| * genii sips | 13:22 | |
| * shadeslayer sobs as his CD's are eaten by hi laptop | 13:23 | |
| noren | my vlc does not have sound i was thinking of getting pulse audio as i see theres a plugin in vlc for pulse but not for alsa | 13:23 |
| shadeslayer | *his | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | check the vlc settings - you can set it to use alsa. or oss. OR it could be a codec issue with that specific video file | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | try some other video files | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | run vlc from a terminal also and look for messages | 13:23 |
| semmy | ciao a tutti | 13:24 |

| dr_willis | noren, that one might be using the w32codecs or somthing. | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | if i recall - vlc does not use the codec packs it includes most of them allready. mplayer and others need the w32codec package | 13:25 |

| dr_willis | try the settings see if you can set it to alsa instead of oss perhaps | 13:27 |
| noren | well in gui i have already done that | 13:27 |
| shadeslayer | uh any way i can reset hal?? | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | noren, on some players you have to quit/restart them for some settings to take effect. not sure ablut vlc | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | theres a hal service.. but im not sure what that would 'reset' if anything | 13:29 |
| ikonia | nothing | 13:29 |
| dr_willis | ive never needed to reset hal :) | 13:29 |

| squid0 | hi. when I play movies, the colour is all weird. vlc and mplayer. why could that be? | 13:29 |
| shadeslayer | dr_willis: well my CD drive wont automount since powertop stopped hal from polling,works fine in GNOME tho | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | sounds like video drivers squid0 | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | shadeslayer, mount it manually? :) | 13:30 |
| shadeslayer | dr_willis: dolphin cant see it | 13:31 |
| dr_willis | im old-skool.. i got scripts made up called 'cdin' and 'cdout' that mount/unmount&eject my cds :P | 13:31 |

| dr_willis | Looks like its confused about what sound card to use | 13:33 |
| noren | hmm | 13:34 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: if you have put power managment setup on - which I assume is what powertop is (I don' tknow though) I suspect it may have stopped auto spin up on the CDROM which will stop a dbus event for ha l | 13:34 |
| ikonia | hal | 13:34 |
| shadeslayer | yep powertop is a power management tool for laptops | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | !powertop | 13:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about powertop | 13:36 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: so any remedies?? | 13:36 |

| dr_willis | squid0, check the forums for your card/drivers/issue - perhaps. | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | ive heard of some cards and drivers having similer issues. | 13:40 |
| shadeslayer | now i mount cant find my cd drive | 13:40 |
| shadeslayer | *-i | 13:40 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: if mount can't see the device for your cd drive it's nothing to do with hal | 13:40 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: the device file should be created by udev at boot time for it | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | shadeslayer , reboot , HAL will find it | 13:41 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: thats a recent development | 13:41 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: that still makes it nothing to do with hal | 13:41 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: udev is not hal | 13:41 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: if you can't see the device file - hal is not at fault | 13:41 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: uh,till yesterday night i could easily mount the drive | 13:41 |
| genii | Gah, work. /away | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | shadeslayer , why do you keep having to remount your cdrom drive , have you been playing around in fstab ? | 13:42 |
| shadeslayer | BluesKaj: actionparsnip told me to mess with it,he posted his fstab and told me to copy the last line | 13:43 |
| * shadeslayer scrolls up to find linkie | 13:43 | |
| BluesKaj | ok shadeslayer. pastebin it so we can have a look | 13:44 |
| ikonia | copying someone elses fstab should never be done unless you are %100 sure of what you are doing | 13:44 |
| ikonia | if it's broke since you added that line.......reomve the line | 13:45 |
| ikonia | remove | 13:45 |
| shadeslayer | http://pastebin.com/f4d593312 | 13:45 |

| magnus_ | How come my dragonplayer cant play the movies I've downloaded ? | 13:50 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: you kill all the fun......anyways how do i reset fstab then?? | 13:50 |
| magnus_ | Is it not very fit for videowatching or? | 13:50 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: you delete the line you added | 13:50 |
| shadeslayer | and it defaults ?? | 13:51 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: it's default is what it was before you added a line | 13:51 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: you just delete the line you added | 13:51 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 13:52 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: there is no default - each fstab is different for each system, hence why you should not copy someone else | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | I cant stand dragonplayer. :) | 13:52 |

| shadeslayer | ikonia: i mean no new line after i deleted the old line in fstab and rebooted | 14:00 |

| ikonia | no ???? | 14:01 |

| ikonia | shadeslayer: nothing | 14:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: that's it | 14:02 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: so my CD should mount?? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: no - but you have removed the problem of copying someone elses line | 14:02 |
| ikonia | now you can debug the issues you have | 14:03 |
| shadeslayer | hmm,like dmesg | tail?? | 14:03 |
| ikonia | (assuming your still having problems) | 14:03 |

| ikonia | I don't see how dmesg will help you at this time, but your welcome to progress how you see fit | 14:03 |

| ikonia | shadeslayer: you can ask the problem however you want - just ask with a much clear detail as possible | 14:06 |
| shadeslayer | hi i messed with fstab, and i was told to delete the line containing my CDROM device,so can anyone help me re write the line i deleted?? | 14:07 |

| BluesKaj | noren, in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key' | 14:11 |
| shadeslayer | hi how do i reset fstab to defaults?? | 14:11 |
| genii | shadeslayer: There is no "reset fstab to defaults" because not everyone has the same number of hd, partitions on the hd and order in which things are attached | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | noren, if you don't have alsa , sudo apt-get install alsa-base | 14:12 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: I told you this less than 5 minutes ago | 14:12 |
| shadeslayer | genii: ok so how do i get fstab to recognise my CD rom | 14:13 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: sorry , i forgot | 14:13 |
| noren | BluesKaj: i have alsa basse but no alsa mixture | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | noren , it's called alsamixer | 14:14 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: OMG,i fired up nautlius and it shows the CD | 14:14 |
| genii | shadeslayer: 1) find what device it is. Usually if you ls -l /dev/cdrom it points to something like /dev/scd0 or so. 2) Add a line in the fstab which mounts that device under somewhere like /media/cdrom directory, using filesystem auto or iso9660 and udf. | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | noren, just type alsamixer in the terminal | 14:15 |
| genii | Work needs me, AFK a few | 14:15 |

| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: are you sure that your cdrom mounts at /media/cdrom? Mine is set to /media/cdrom0 in fstab. Other than that the lines are exactly the same. | 14:43 |
| shadeslayer | ls -l /dev/cdrom gave me /dev/cdrom -> scd0 | 14:44 |
| ikonia | so ? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | how does that change the mount point ? | 14:44 |
| shadeslayer | so i thought that cdrom is the mount point | 14:45 |
| shadeslayer | so do i change it to cdrom0 ?? | 14:45 |
| ikonia | the mount point has nothing to do with the device name, unless hal is create a lable | 14:46 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: so it comes back to hal again ?? | 14:46 |
| ikonia | no | 14:46 |
| ikonia | it's nothing to do with hal as I said | 14:46 |
| shadeslayer | oh..... | 14:47 |
| ikonia | I'm saying that is the only time the name of a mount point would matter, and as you're using fstab - not hal, it doesn't matter | 14:47 |
| * shadeslayer is a bit confused,thats all | 14:47 | |
| shadeslayer | oh i get it now | 14:47 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: why is it that nautilus can mount the CD but not dolphin?? | 14:48 |
| ikonia | because they are two different desktops | 14:48 |
| ikonia | or "file managers" what ever you want to call them | 14:48 |
| shadeslayer | but they use the same fstab i guess?? | 14:48 |
| ikonia | I suspect they will be mounting it in userspace - but I don't know that for a fact without looking | 14:49 |
| XPS_M1330 | where can remove the logoff sound event? | 14:50 |
| JontheEchidna | XPS_M1330: System Settings -> Notifications | 14:50 |
| XPS_M1330 | yes I just coudln't find the event source, now I got it | 14:50 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Can you mount the CD using mount at the command line and then try and browse to /media/cdrom in dolphin? | 14:51 |
| shadeslayer | jpedroza1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, | 14:51 |
| shadeslayer | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 14:51 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Ok, I think I see a problem with your CD line in fstab | 14:52 |
| * shadeslayer looks more carefully | 14:52 | |
| shadeslayer | where?/ | 14:53 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Try making it look like this: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 14:53 |
| vassili | HI! How to select files group in the com.line? | 14:53 |
| jpedroza1 | the udf is a format, not an option | 14:53 |
| shadeslayer | done | 14:53 |
| jpedroza1 | now try and mount at the command line | 14:53 |
| sorset | hi , i have problem with adept manager recently! | 14:53 |

| vassili | HI! How to select files group in the com.line? | 14:54 |
| kurumin | fala | 14:54 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: What command are you using to mount the CD? | 14:54 |
| shadeslayer | jpedroza1: mount /dev/cdrom | 14:55 |
| shadeslayer | even adding sudo does not help | 14:55 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Try mount /media/cdrom | 14:55 |
| shadeslayer | same | 14:55 |
| * shadeslayer wants to try the -f option | 14:56 | |
| jpedroza1 | vassili: Not sure I understand your question. Do you want to select multiple files from a command line? | 14:56 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Do you know the format of the disk in the drive? | 14:57 |
| vassili | jpedroza1: Yes! | 14:57 |
| shadeslayer | i think it said something like cddma | 14:57 |
| vassili | jpedroza1: how? | 14:57 |

| shadeslayer | jpedroza1: correct,sorry for the ;ate reply | 15:08 |
| shadeslayer | *l | 15:08 |
| shadeslayer | jpedroza1: your battery is dying?? | 15:09 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: No, my battery just disappears from power manager. It shows in /proc/acpi/battery for a bit, then says it isn't found | 15:10 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: I have to admit that I am at a bit of a loss as to why the disk is not showing in kubuntu. The only other thing I can think is that kubuntu is looking for it at /media/cdrom0. | 15:11 |
| shadeslayer | jpedroza1: oh i see,tried mopdprobe?? | 15:11 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Maybe change the mount point, see what happens. | 15:11 |
| shadeslayer | to cdrom0?? | 15:11 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: yes | 15:11 |
| shadeslayer | yes as in you tried modprobe or yes to change the mount point | 15:12 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: modprobe what ? | 15:12 |
| ikonia | shadeslayer: what should he moprobe ? | 15:12 |
| shadeslayer | ikonia: maybe the battery?? | 15:12 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: sorry, I have not tried modprobe. lsmod shows the acpi modules | 15:12 |
| ikonia | modprobe the battery ?? | 15:13 |

| shadeslayer | this discussion | 15:13 |
| shadeslayer | ok look ill try to change the mount point | 15:13 |

| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Nothing out of the ordinary there. Very similar to mine. | 15:24 |
| jpedroza1 | shadeslayer: Can you try unmounting /media/cdrom, as root (sudo) just for the thrill of it | 15:25 |
| shadeslayer | hehe | 15:25 |
| shadeslayer | what about -f command | 15:25 |
| jpedroza1 | not sure that would help. | 15:25 |
| shadeslayer | nope same error without -f | 15:25 |
| shadeslayer | jpedroza1: :O it mounted with -f | 15:26 |

| Slartibartfast | or if you have a 64bit system ..... w64codecs | 15:35 |

| Ev0luti0n_ | i have an IPtv router from thomson. The router works well, and is fully configured and gives access to the web properly. The problem is that when i restart the computer, although the router hasn't reseted nor the connection droped, i am unable to access the internet, only solving the problem after restarting the router manually (power button). Any help or ideas on this? | 16:59 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | I am running kubuntu 8.10 | 17:00 |

| Zengol | Ahh, desktop effect's is what i meant to call it. | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | arfee_, kubuntu and ubuntu use the same system underneeth. so it would be the same way to set it in both. | 21:25 |
| arfee_ | thats what i thought | 21:25 |
| arfee_ | hence why i dont understand why it doesnt discover the network | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | I rarely use wireless.. so thats about all i know on the topic. :) | 21:26 |
| arfee_ | hey, thanks anyway | 21:26 |
| Dr_willis | i also set my ssid's to be hidden. so i have to enter them | 21:26 |
| Zengol | How do i set custom time? | 21:26 |
| Zengol | Lol. | 21:26 |
| yaa_ | they have enslaves the whole world with tesla's | 21:26 |
| Zengol | I can't figure out how to change the time on my clock... | 21:26 |
| Zengol | Oh, nvm. | 21:26 |
| Zengol | I found it. | 21:26 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 21:26 |
| Zengol | Yeah, i'm still kinda new to KDE> | 21:26 |
| Zengol | Used to Gnome. | 21:27 |
| JamesCC | Anyone know how to configure channel balance in Amarok? I lost output for my left channel. | 21:27 |
| * Dr_willis rembers years ago befor pc's had battery/clocks . and you had to set the time at every bootup | 21:27 | |
| arfee_ | you know what, i just had a brainfart...im gonna re-enter that line...INSIDE of KDE...wow, im smart sometimes | 21:28 |
| Zengol | Won't let me set time or date.... | 21:28 |
| Zengol | Say's it is unable to contact the server... | 21:29 |
| Dr_willis | inside kde? or you mean while running kubuntu? | 21:29 |
| arfee_ | yeah thats what i meant | 21:29 |
| Dr_willis | arfee_, you are dualbooting Kubuntu and ubuntu? | 21:29 |
| Dr_willis | arfee_, or do you realize you can have 1 install with both desktops installed.. | 21:29 |
| arfee_ | no i have both in the sessions, so both desktops | 21:30 |
| Dr_willis | Ok. : | 21:30 |
| arfee_ | dualbooting is too much hassle | 21:30 |
| Zengol | Why do i need to contact a time server to set my own damm clock? | 21:30 |
| Dr_willis | I see a lot of people that dont realize you can have kubuntu and ubutnu both installed at the same time. and just use GDM | 21:30 |
| Dr_willis | Zengol, its getting the time from the server. | 21:30 |
| Dr_willis | if you wan tto set it yourself you can use the date command i recall... | 21:30 |
| Zengol | Why can i not set a custom time? | 21:31 |
| arfee_ | ill brb, thanks for your help Dr_willis | 21:31 |
| Mamarok | ahdach: don't query me please | 21:31 |
| Zengol | It's irritating me because it's one hour behind, haha. | 21:32 |
| Zengol | HA! | 21:33 |
| Zengol | Got it. | 21:33 |
| Zengol | That's really confusing. | 21:33 |
| devilsadvocate|l | ok, can someone help fix my laptop keys : dell inspiron. my amarok global shortcuts need to be changed, but it doesnt let me do that (i dont know how to put in an XF86Audio* entry in the thing) so i might need to fix the bindings system wide. currently, mute does not work, play/pause does play, stop does not work ... | 21:34 |
| Mamarok | ahdach: behave, stop querying me and don't insult me! | 21:34 |
| Zengol | For Amarok, go to setting's then configure global shortcut's. You should be able to use your function key to activate your shortcut's for play/pause, stop, and all that good junk. | 21:36 |
| Dr_willis | Zengol, sounds like your time zone was set wrong. | 21:37 |
| Dr_willis | or DST set wrong | 21:37 |
| Zengol | Yeah, it was my timezone. | 21:37 |
| Zengol | I had to figure out where to change it at. | 21:37 |
| Zengol | It was set to local, had to change it to Denver i believe. | 21:38 |
| Zengol | Oh, North Dakota. | 21:38 |
| nihility_ | My time is stuck on military time. does anyone know how to change it? | 21:42 |
| JontheEchidna | nihility_: In System Settings go to Regional and Language | 21:44 |
| JontheEchidna | the time settings in there should allow you to change time format | 21:44 |
| nihility_ | I do not see an option | 21:45 |
| * jcprather thinks 12-hour clocks should be erradicated | 21:45 | |
| === scott__ is now known as Guest98560 | ||
| === Guest98560 is now known as scott___ | ||
| jcprather | nihility_: under Regional and Language settings, you don't have a "Time and Dates" tab? | 21:47 |
| * jcprather is seeing this on jaunty, and supposes it may differ significantly from other versions | 21:48 | |
| nihility_ | no i do have that tab but no option in there... | 21:48 |
| scott___ | can anyone help me with enabling direct rendering | 21:48 |
| nihility_ | ok i have it set... forgive me as i just installed Kubuntu and have been using windows all of my life. | 21:49 |
| nihility_ | Thanks | 21:49 |
| jcprather | o hurray. i was ksnapshotting and ready to draw circle on it for u | 21:50 |
| nihility_ | Great... by the way i have been searching for MOTU drivers for linux but i can not seem to find any. suggestions? | 21:50 |
| === ahmed is now known as Guest32222 | ||
| nihility_ | Another question... is there another way to unistall apps beside using adept? Something more like add remove programs in windows>? | 21:55 |
| jcprather | i haven't tried it, but there is a kde packagekit tool | 21:56 |
| === kenan is now known as Guest28602 | ||
| jcprather | tho im not sure if its available in versions prior to jaunty or how well it works currently | 21:57 |
| nihility_ | I saw that but have yet to try it. i will check it out. Thanks again | 21:57 |
| Guest28602 | I have installed restricted drivers,what do I need else to isntall for listening music from amarok? | 21:57 |
| jcprather | dpkg - commandline package thingy | 21:57 |
| Guest28602 | !codecs | 21:57 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 21:57 |
| === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ | ||
| jcprather | looks like apt-get will also remove packages via commandline | 21:58 |
| Dr_willis | !apt | 21:58 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 21:58 |
| jcprather | also, aptitude, is a commandline that one of my coworkers is fond of | 21:59 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Zengol, when trying to change amaroks shortcuts, pressing on the button makes it do what it is currently set to do, and does not actually change the setting itself... | 21:59 |
| devilsadvocate|l | (Zengol, sorry for the long delay) | 21:59 |
| nihility_ | Thanks! | 21:59 |
| Guest28602 | jcprather : I have installed restricted drivers,what do I need else to isntall for listening music from amarok? | 22:00 |
| jcprather | i'm new to kubuntu, and have never used amarok, so i don't know, i'm sorry | 22:00 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Guest28602, ubuntu-restricted-extras can help (and mp3 support.. amarok will help you when you try to play your first mp3) | 22:00 |
| Guest28602 | devilsadvocate|l : I have installed that resticted extra...but when i want to play stream from amarok it says that there is no codec | 22:01 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Guest28602, ... | 22:02 |
| devilsadvocate|l | hm | 22:02 |
| nihility_ | ahh the pakage manager is so much better! thanks again | 22:02 |
| Guest28602 | devilsadvocate|l : yes? | 22:02 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Guest28602, trying to remember | 22:02 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Guest28602, i think you need some libxine something for mp3. im sorry, i dont remember the exact package | 22:04 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Guest28602, if its an real media stream, then i dont know if its even possibel to play it | 22:04 |
| Guest28602 | devilsadvocate|l : I know that I need it...I'll try with gstreamer... | 22:05 |
| Guest28602 | devilsadvocate|l : thx | 22:06 |
| nihility_ | Ok in windows i use a scripting languages called autoit and autohotkey. is there anything comperable for linux without having to learn an oop language? | 22:07 |
| devilsadvocate|l | Guest28602, the gstreamer plugins are in ubuntu-restricted-extras (i think ugly too) | 22:07 |
| Guest28602 | devilsadvocate|l : yeah, but not all... | 22:07 |
| Guest28602 | devilsadvocate|l : I've been looking in package manager...I'm trying something now | 22:08 |

| sukumade | does anyone know of a video card benchmark program for linux? the only articles i found on google were years old | 23:08 |
| darkenergy | hello, could someone please tell me what's on the kubuntu intrepid dvd that makes it so large? | 23:10 |
| sukumade | my guess are all the apps you would typically apt-get or additional development tools / x environments | 23:10 |
| darkenergy | never realised that was an option | 23:11 |
| sukumade | well i am sure it doesn't include EVERYTHING you could get via apt-get | 23:12 |
| sukumade | but a lot of common apps not included with the live cd | 23:12 |
| genii | The alternate cd for instance you could set up as a local repo. So likely the dvd is same sort of idea | 23:13 |
| darkenergy | i've used CD versions | 23:14 |
| darkenergy | both alternate and live | 23:15 |
| XPS_M1330 | which is the nicest MSN client? | 23:24 |
| EtFb | XPS_M1330: Pidgin is good. I prefer it to Kopete, anyhow. | 23:25 |
| genii | My vote is also with pidgin | 23:26 |
| XPS_M1330 | thanks | 23:29 |
| boboso | what is a good burning program? | 23:31 |
| darkenergy | k3b | 23:31 |
| EtFb | boboso: I had trouble with k3b, but it might have been a hardware problem with my old laptop. It works well with the new one, so I guess it's ok. Certainly does everything I need for casual DVD and CD burning. | 23:32 |
| EtFb | boboso: Real hard-core geeks tend to use command-line programs, apparently. | 23:32 |
| delilaz | hello all, I have konqueror-nsplugins installed but my flashplayer isn't working, now I have kde 3.5 and I read that nsplugins wasn't really needed in 3.5, is that what's causing the player not to work? | 23:34 |
| delilaz | Also wonddering if installing gnash would affect the flashplayer plugin for firefox??? | 23:35 |
| boboso | EtFb: right i was asking cause i was looking for a good one for my bro | 23:36 |
| Shile | hi ppl | 23:36 |
| delilaz | anyone know? | 23:37 |
| Shile | is any1 free to explain me how to use kubuntu 8.10 on my Windows XP as virtual machine? | 23:37 |
| EtFb | boboso: k3b will probably be fine. | 23:37 |
| EtFb | Shile: What VM software? VMWare? | 23:37 |
| === dr_willi- is now known as Dr_Willis | ||
| Shile | yes vmware | 23:37 |
| Shile | vm player | 23:37 |
| EtFb | Shile: Are you using VMWare Workstation, VMWare Server or something else? | 23:38 |
| boboso | EtFb: thanks he is already using it | 23:38 |
| Shile | i thought i can use wm player...i need vmware workstation? | 23:38 |
| delilaz | I believe virtualbox is an easier virtual machine to set-up | 23:39 |
| boboso | vmware is easy | 23:40 |
| EtFb | delilaz: VMWare is freakishly reliable and full-featured, especially now that VMWare Server offers everything that Workstation has, and is free. | 23:40 |
| Dr_Willis | i find virtualbox easier to use. | 23:40 |
| Dr_Willis | and it does what i need. which isent much :) | 23:41 |
| boboso | to downloand it and install it and then find the appliance you want and download it and then use vmware to run the appliance | 23:41 |
| EtFb | Dr_Willis: I've never used it, so I don't know. | 23:41 |
| delilaz | Thanks boboso and EtFb | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | i normally test live cd iso files. for a long time vmware worked better.. then vbox did somtning :) and it started working better/easier. | 23:41 |
| boboso | i have not used virtualbox either but i have 2 appliances running right now in vmware | 23:41 |
| delilaz | but I find virtualbox great too, it's also free | 23:42 |
| delilaz | Anyone know if installing konqueror-plugin-gnash will interfere with the flashplayer plugin that firefox already has? | 23:43 |
| delilaz | I have 3 web browsers and only 1 can use flashplayer :( | 23:44 |
| BluesKaj | delilaz: install flashplugin-nonfree | 23:45 |
| delilaz | BluesKaj: I do have that | 23:46 |
| BluesKaj | then uninstall flashplayer, they interfere | 23:47 |
| delilaz | BluesKaj: ok thanks for the info :) | 23:48 |
| BluesKaj | delilaz: it depends on your setup, youmay be able to keep flashplayer | 23:50 |
| delilaz | BluesKaj: how would I know if I'm able to keep it? | 23:52 |
