[00:00] Hey. Does anyone know what settings in /home could possibly disable PCI card detection? [00:04] so here is my request :) http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Avant+%%5BREQUEST!%%5D?action=content&content=101283 [00:09] does anyone have kwin4-style-bespin installed? I have installed it but it refuses to appear in Window Decorations in the System Settings [00:10] !xorg.conf [00:10] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:10] Is there a way / command in shell that I can cat the contents of a text filie to the clipboard of KDE? [00:10] like cat textfile > /dev/kde/clipboard (just a silly example, but it shows the idea) [00:11] can dolphin save window size? === cudmore is now known as mbcudmore [00:26] phoenixz: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/clipboard?content=87114 thia m [00:26] this may help [00:27] oh its kde4 only it seems [00:31] maybe xclip is what you're looking for === j is now known as Guest47397 [00:58] hello room [00:59] Question - My friend told me that he tried running Kubuntu on his Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Netbook (1.6GHz Intel Atom Processor, 2GB ram) and youtube / flash was rather choppy. I have two questions: Will using a swap partition help at all, is swap even necessasary on a machine that has 2gb ram? If thats not the solution, is there a way to increase FireFox(or swiftweasel)'s CPU priority ? [01:00] flash was choppy? as in stopping and starting? [01:00] like chopppy [01:00] like if you watch a youtube movie for example [01:00] it can seem sluggish or skip frames [01:00] like not smooth playback as it should be [01:00] in full screen? [01:00] just in general period [01:00] question, anyone know of a good free password removal program? [01:00] full screen or not [01:01] swap will have no effect on that [01:01] i have the same problem, it pisses the wife off to no end. [01:01] I used to have one but the disk got stolen and I don't remember what it was. It was linux based, but you could change passwords to any OS because it was a Live CD [01:01] so im wondering if 1) putting a 2gb swap partition matters at all(i heard this only good for old school machines with like 256MB ram) or is there a way to increase CPU pririoty of the firefox/swiftweasel process [01:01] making it utilize the cpu in realtime [01:02] so with 2gb of ram you dont use swap right? [01:02] casinowarren, password cracker? [01:03] kinesis, rarely if ever [01:03] im gonna use JFS on this is that a good choice [01:03] i heard its the best [01:03] and its made by ibm (same maker of this laptop) [01:03] not that that matters any [01:04] casinowarren, that is not supported in any #ubuntu channels, nor on freenode generally I would imagine. [01:04] casinowarren, so please dont ask about it. [01:04] casinowarren: pretty sure u mean Backtrack [01:05] jfs or what? [01:05] im in kubuntu setup right now so i need to know [01:05] thats why im asking if swap is gonna help [01:05] and what filesystem to use etc [01:05] kinesis, this is intrepid? [01:05] huh? [01:05] no [01:05] idk [01:05] its Kubuntu 8.10 [01:06] yep [01:06] so im wondering what FS to use [01:06] I heard JFS is best [01:06] backtrack? [01:06] and fastest [01:06] w/e just going with JFS and no swap [01:06] that is entirely up to you; ext3 has the best track record-->you could wait til next month and try ext4 if you wish [01:06] ext4? hm [01:06] it seems like it is only some of the videos for me, the ones that are choppy display NaN:NaN for the time [01:07] nate are you using SwiftWEasel [01:07] ? [01:07] or just regular firefox [01:07] firefox [01:07] ok [01:07] im gonna try w/ swiftweasel and see if it helps, theres an even fater one than that i hear but i forgot what its called [01:07] kinesis: with any amount of RAM you sue swap once you run out of RAM [01:07] so is swap necessary? [01:07] esp with apps like Firefox that cache aggresively with RAM [01:07] i have 2gb [01:08] gonna just make 2gb swap partition, why not [01:08] to be safe sure [01:08] I have 6gb :) [01:08] so main partition is which: Primary or Logical [01:08] kinesis: With 2GB of RAM you can probably get away with 1 GB of Swap [01:09] Honestly if you have teh HDD space then an extra 1GB won't kill you and it will be very sueful if you need it [01:09] cool [01:09] yeah [01:09] So my main kubuntu partition is which: Primary or Logical [01:09] ive been battling it for months, queried chats etc, it is the same in konqueror [01:10] well try swiftweasel idk [01:10] im gonna try to hack it myself [01:10] i have a feeling the linux kernel doesnt support intel atom properly [01:10] but im gonna see if theres ways to increase CPU pririoty (like in windows [01:10] priority [01:10] for firefox/swiftweasel [01:10] sure it does [01:10] but i still need to know, is the main partition A) Primary or B) Logical [01:10] and is the swap partition A) Primary or B) Logial [01:11] my kubuntu is using 670 mb of ram, and i have a _lot_ of things running... 2 gb of ram is unlikely to swap [01:11] ill just 1gb then [01:11] I'm trying to configure grip, but I can't find my cd drive. Rhythmbox sees it, but I can't find it in /mount, /dev, /media, etc. Any help? [01:11] but like i said above.. still wondering [01:11] i guess swap is logical, main is primary right? [01:12] kinesis, doesnt matter (primary/swap) [01:12] primary/logical* [01:12] mine are all logical. [01:12] grip doesn't like "cdda://scd0/" [01:12] kinesis: isnt that important [01:12] i just put main as primary [01:12] * devilsadvocate_ is off [01:12] swap as logical [01:12] makes sense, its your primary drive [01:13] kinesis: will be fine. i have all primary sometimes. also ok. [01:13] kinesis: Do you understand partitions ? [01:14] also can i get themes for this cuz the standard ubuntu stuff drives me crazy [01:14] swap is swap [01:14] word [01:15] will kubuntu setup give me an opportunity to install a bootloader? [01:15] grub? [01:15] yeah [01:15] of course [01:15] it should automatically [01:16] cool im a slackware guy but this laptop is so tiny i dont want to have to spend hours and hours customizing it the way i like on such a tiny keyboard [01:16] hi is there any way to install KDE while keeping gnome apps. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 but miss KDE. I tried some net advize though it removes all my GTK apps. I dont wannna remove ny of em n yet install KDE n its apps [01:16] right, if you have another os installed [01:16] can you manually reconfigure and compile a linux kernel from source with ubuntu or will it break it? [01:16] kubuntu-desktop Rohan_SM [01:16] as in /usr/src style [01:17] kinesis, sure you can; but dont ask for support here then :) [01:17] bleah [01:17] !build-essential [01:17] Compiling software from source?

[01:39] i thied where do i find that [01:40] nate_: If you don't know you probably didn't install it then :) [01:40] as far as I know if you have a panel you should have a menu with it [01:42] thats what i thought, i used to now i have to use alt f1 to bring it up (in the middle of the screen) [01:42] nate_: Ha ha Umm try and see if you can right clikc and add it to the panel === tmeixner is now known as tomsdale [01:44] oh believe me i have tried, it will only do progs [01:44] hrrrm [01:44] Where can i get some screen savers for kubuntu? i have search adept and nothing comes up. [01:45] nate_: You can ask in #kde as well [01:45] nihility: there should be a kubuntu screensavers package but you can try kde-look.org as well [01:45] What would i search for because a search for screensavers comes up with nothing [01:46] screensaver ? [01:46] I have tried every variation of the word.... Could this be another issue? [01:47] oh crap [01:47] adept? [01:47] Ibex? [01:47] ibex?
