| Elone | anyone know how to get kubuntu to compile obj-c code ? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| rmrfslash_ | Is anyone able to help me figure out my color depth on kubuntu? | 00:04 |
| rmrfslash_ | hello? | 00:06 |
| BluesKaj | rmrfslash_, it's usually 24 (bit) | 00:06 |
| rmrfslash_ | oh | 00:06 |
| rmrfslash_ | Why not 32? | 00:08 |
| rmrfslash_ | wait, I found some forum that explains this | 00:09 |
| BluesKaj | dunno | 00:09 |
| rmrfslash_ | basically 32-bit seems like a misrepresentation | 00:10 |
| rmrfslash_ | on windows | 00:10 |
| Dragnslcr | Most LCD monitors can't do more than 24-bit color anyway | 00:11 |
| genii | Your eyes can't actually tell the difference between 24bit and 32bit anyways. | 00:11 |
| Dragnslcr | Well, most of them are only really 18-bit | 00:11 |
| BluesKaj | rmrfslash_, look in your xorg.conf file and it should show as DefaultDepth 24 under the screen module | 00:13 |
| zer0o | hi, wheni watch a video on a website, where does this "temporary" file go? what folder? | 00:14 |
| rmrfslash_ | anyways | 00:15 |
| rmrfslash_ | I'm really enjoying the open source ati driver | 00:15 |
| rmrfslash_ | really hasn't let me down (in a 2d sense) | 00:16 |
| BluesKaj | fglrxgears give a decent rendering ? | 00:16 |
| rmrfslash_ | don't have it | 00:16 |
| BluesKaj | try it out | 00:16 |
| rmrfslash_ | no 3d accel | 00:16 |
| BluesKaj | I have nvidia , which doesn't have the equivalent to the ati | 00:17 |
| rmrfslash_ | they have an open source driver... but it's reverse engineered cuz nvidia won't give up the friggin specs and code | 00:17 |
| BluesKaj | what ati card? ..you should have 3D and direct rendering | 00:19 |
| rmrfslash_ | I have DRI support only cuz I manually compiled it | 00:19 |
| rmrfslash_ | the driver from kubuntu's restricted drivers tool is out of date and breaks resume fromhibernate | 00:20 |
| BluesKaj | ok , din't know that ...I have an onboard ati , but installed the nvidia due to the probs with the ati drivers | 00:21 |
| rmrfslash_ | not v/ 6.12.1 though w/ the latest drm and radeon kernel modules from the r6xx_r7xx branch | 00:21 |
| rmrfslash_ | no 3d accel though.... that's not even enabled for experimental use | 00:21 |
| rmrfslash_ | yet. | 00:21 |
| rmrfslash_ | I'm just pleased to see the progress being made. | 00:22 |
| rmrfslash_ | This is going to change things. | 00:22 |
| zer0o | hi, wheni watch a video on a website, where does this "temporary" file go? what folder? | 00:23 |
| rmrfslash_ | NVIDIA needs to do something... though they make a decent proprietary driver | 00:23 |
| rmrfslash_ | memory? | 00:23 |
| rmrfslash_ | it's just buffered into memory no? | 00:23 |
| zer0o | rmrfslash_: talkin to me? | 00:24 |
| rmrfslash_ | yeah | 00:24 |
| rmrfslash_ | sorry | 00:24 |
| zer0o | alright what does it mean? | 00:24 |
| zer0o | np | 00:24 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: what does it mean to store data in memory? | 00:24 |
| zer0o | what it means "buffered into memory" | 00:24 |
| zer0o | well i got it but if its stored, it has to temporarly be somewhere | 00:25 |
| zer0o | like in windows was in c:/documentsandsettings/username/personalsettings/temporaryinternetfiles or just TEMP | 00:25 |
| zer0o | where in linux those files are? | 00:25 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: When you click on a link, your browser downloads like a few seconds of the video (or the whole thing if it can) and stores it in memory. They call this "buffering". | 00:26 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: kind of like how a CD player buffers a few seconds into a song so that if the CD skips it skips in the buffer and you'll never hear it | 00:27 |
| zer0o | rmrfslash_: hmmm so no trace of the actual video remains anywhere in the hard drive? | 00:28 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: it's difficult, or at least I don't know exactly how to retrieve things from RAM | 00:28 |
| genii | zer0o: The problem is you are thinking in terms of the way another operating system like Windows does something. (k)ubuntu is not making some file onthe hd of your streaming video. It's getting it off the internet and storing it in it's volatile memory directly without putting it on anwhere like a file | 00:28 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: unless you go into the browser code and have it flush the memory allocation (for the buffer) to the disk | 00:29 |
| rmrfslash_ | right... that. | 00:29 |
| rmrfslash_ | :) | 00:29 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: but I think firefox code uses memory | 00:29 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: maybe not IE code cuz it's written by Microsoft and they're terrible programmers :) | 00:30 |
| zer0o | and what about /tmp then? | 00:30 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: sometimes a program will write files to /tmp, sure | 00:30 |
| BluesKaj | hmmm, not a torrent either :) | 00:31 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: but only if you need to store a temporary file.... I don't think anyone implementing a video buffer is going to write the buffer to your hard drive. | 00:31 |
| zer0o | rmrfslash_: well, the thing is i watched a video, dont remember the site, no chronology enabled on my ff3 so i was trying to find a way to get back to it | 00:32 |
| rmrfslash_ | zer0o: Hmm... yer stuck. You could try to "rip" the video off the site ;) | 00:33 |
| rmrfslash_ | next time | 00:33 |
| rmrfslash_ | See *then* it goes to disk. | 00:33 |
| zer0o | rmrfslash_: plus i think pornosite do have video buffers that write on ur hard drive thatz how they sent u the spy-wares or whatever it is | 00:33 |
| zer0o | rmrfslash_: i no how to do that, but i dont remember the site anymore and i wanted to keep that video | 00:33 |
| gkffcks1 | does anyone know how to test for an empty string in tcsh? | 00:34 |
| rmrfslash_ | gkffcks1: tcsh?!?!? | 00:34 |
| rmrfslash_ | :) | 00:34 |
| === elwood is now known as Guest56520 | ||
| gkffcks1 | yep! tcsh | 00:35 |
| gkffcks1 | but it has no channel of it's own so that's why I'm asking here | 00:35 |
| rmrfslash_ | dude, google. | 00:35 |
| rmrfslash_ | "test for empty string in tcsh" | 00:36 |
| rmrfslash_ | http://tinyurl.com/dbjxte | 00:36 |
| rmrfslash_ | I think this is funny: www.gewgle.com | 00:37 |
| * kuaera rubs head. Using Jaunty in a production environment for a few days has made a few minor issues totally unbearable. | 00:37 | |
| rmrfslash_ | kuaera: why would you use jaunty in a production environment? | 00:38 |
| rmrfslash_ | kuaera: it's ALPHA :D | 00:38 |
| rmrfslash_ | not even beta | 00:38 |
| kuaera | rmrfslash_: I know, but things that worked fine in Intrepid are now broken :/ | 00:38 |
| rmrfslash_ | cuz they're messing w/ a dependency | 00:39 |
| rmrfslash_ | probably | 00:39 |
| kuaera | My file picker dialog is stuck in descending filename sort [ignores my changes], for one. That's annoying. | 00:39 |
| kuaera | Also, I can't get the weather station plasmoid to accept my location for the life of me. | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | yeah........ alpha ;) | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | Wait til the end of April | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | or at least a RC if you're really impatient | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | I'm done using alpha sw except to contribute to the QC | 00:41 |
| BluesKaj | heh, i'm just getting used to intrepids quirks | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | intrepid isn't bad | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | im usin it | 00:41 |
| kuaera | Also, there have been no updates to KDE packages on the repo since Saturday o_o | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | better than hardy | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | or at least kde 4.2 is | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | r u usin 4.1? | 00:41 |
| BluesKaj | I have some graphics issues , but mostly when I run some windows apps in wine | 00:41 |
| rmrfslash_ | oh no wait... jaunty is 4.2 by default i think | 00:42 |
| kuaera | That is correct. | 00:42 |
| rmrfslash_ | I've never had good luck w/ Wine except in some few occasions | 00:42 |
| rmrfslash_ | BluesKaj, you might consider trying a virtual machine instead of wine. | 00:43 |
| BluesKaj | simple windows apps like utorrent and neotrace run quite well | 00:43 |
| rmrfslash_ | VirtualBox or VMware Player | 00:43 |
| rmrfslash_ | those work pretty well for me when I need doze | 00:43 |
| rmrfslash_ | Both have a concept of "shared folders" which will share a folder (or several) between your bas operating system and the "guest" operating system (windows) | 00:44 |
| rmrfslash_ | which I find useful | 00:44 |
| BluesKaj | the probs aren't annoying, just lil icons distortions | 00:44 |
| rmrfslash_ | yeah.... I tried playing Crayon Physics in Wine | 00:44 |
| BluesKaj | VB and VMware aren't worth the trouble | 00:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | worked... but was a pain in the ASS to get workin | 00:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | the trouble? | 00:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | you just install them | 00:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | i think VB is even in apt | 00:45 |
| rmrfslash_ | VB will even run VMware images | 00:46 |
| BluesKaj | to run them | 00:46 |
| BluesKaj | can't be bothered | 00:46 |
| rmrfslash_ | true, you do have to power them on... but, you don't have to deal w/ enulator issues | 00:46 |
| rmrfslash_ | *emulator | 00:46 |
| rmrfslash_ | just a suggestion | 00:47 |
| rmrfslash_ | I don't think I can install fglrxgears w/o the fglrx driver | 00:47 |
| rmrfslash_ | I get terrible performance on regular glxgears | 00:48 |
| rmrfslash_ | 150 fps | 00:48 |
| BluesKaj | we have enuff windows machines in this house , 6 other machines, 2 desktops and 4 laptops , daughter and her 2 kids all have laptops , all running Vista :( | 00:48 |
| rmrfslash_ | eugh...... | 00:48 |
| rmrfslash_ | vista. | 00:48 |
| BluesKaj | hehe | 00:48 |
| BluesKaj | rmrfslash_, whaich ati ? | 00:49 |
| rmrfslash_ | card? | 00:49 |
| BluesKaj | yeah | 00:49 |
| rmrfslash_ | mobility radeon hd 3670 | 00:49 |
| BluesKaj | 0h , anew one | 00:49 |
| rmrfslash_ | using the radeon driver v 6.12.1 | 00:49 |
| rmrfslash_ | yeah... so new I can't get 3d accel :) | 00:49 |
| rmrfslash_ | it's like moving backwards! | 00:50 |
| rmrfslash_ | the newer the card, the worse the performance | 00:50 |
| BluesKaj | ati is always playing catchup | 00:50 |
| rmrfslash_ | might as well go buy a Voodoo | 00:50 |
| BluesKaj | in linux | 00:50 |
| rmrfslash_ | I'm hoping that since the driver is now open source it will overshoot nvidia | 00:51 |
| BluesKaj | games eh ? | 00:51 |
| rmrfslash_ | no | 00:51 |
| rmrfslash_ | not a big gamer | 00:51 |
| rmrfslash_ | so really the 3d accel isn't a big deal | 00:51 |
| BluesKaj | video edit dude ? | 00:51 |
| rmrfslash_ | no, but I do scientific visualization stuff | 00:51 |
| rmrfslash_ | i.e. "FreeSurfer" | 00:52 |
| rmrfslash_ | well more like e.g. freesurfer | 00:52 |
| BluesKaj | dunno what freesurfer is | 00:52 |
| rmrfslash_ | some 3d modeling thing | 00:53 |
| BluesKaj | BBL, ...TV with wifey for a bit | 00:57 |

| slerder | Hey guys does anyone know if its possible to have multiple partitions on a external usb hdd, and on one of those partitions have a truecrypt installation of windows? thanks | 01:18 |
| genii | slerder: Yes for both. | 01:20 |
| slerder | genii.. ok thanks, but is it a big problem to install windows to a usb drive? ( i want a truecrypt hidden installation though) | 01:21 |
| genii | slerder: You'd likely need to ask questions regarding Windows in the channel of ##windows | 01:22 |
| slerder | genii thanks | 01:22 |

| demon | a program for mounting iso? | 01:30 |
| genii | demon: loopmount it | 01:31 |

| demon | there is genii | 01:32 |
| demon | aceton :P | 01:32 |
| demon | but doesnt mount thats all :P | 01:32 |
| genii | Try the loopmount way then | 01:33 |
| demon | and the mount point should be /usr/media/cdrom | 01:33 |
| demon | smt like that :D | 01:33 |
| genii | If the fs on the cd is something unusual you may need to specify -t fstype like -t udf or so on | 01:36 |
| demon | genii: is there deamon tools for linux | 01:39 |
| demon | ?? | 01:39 |
| genii | demon: Not as far as I know | 01:39 |

| kevin_ | Quick question, does anyone in here know anything about virtualization? I'm trying to virtualize an x86 linux box so I can play with writing some kernel modules (The computer I'm on now is my desktop/server...I can't mess up a pointer and wipe my filesystem or something...). Anyone have any suggestions as to where I should go? I'm mostly looking for something easy to use that works rather than a solution more geared for performance. | 07:07 |

| inanimate | Is it possible to execute JavaScript from the Konqueror address bar? | 07:26 |
| inanimate | Perhaps using the JavaScript pseudo-protocol thing: javascript:alert("Hello") | 07:27 |
| === |Grimz| is now known as kevku | ||
| kevin_ | inanimate: what are you trying to do? | 07:35 |
| inanimate | kevin_: Make a bookmark with a URL like such: "javascript:void(location.href='http://oldurl.com/?url='+location.href)" | 07:36 |
| kevin_ | inanimate: like a normal bookmarklet? My javascript is poor... | 07:38 |
| inanimate | I suppose, yeah. | 07:39 |
| kevin_ | inanimate: I figured it out. | 07:53 |
| inanimate | Oh? | 07:53 |
| kevin_ | install konqueror-plugin-minitools, then in the 'Tools' menu, you get a bookmark editor you can type javascript into. | 07:54 |
| kevin_ | (Tools menu is part of konqueror-plugin-minitools) | 07:54 |
| inanimate | Does that work in KDE 4 though? (Because at the moment, Konqueror has no "Tools" menu.) | 07:54 |
| kevin_ | See http://priyadi.net/archives/2004/11/04/using-bookmarklet-in-konqueror/ | 07:54 |
| inanimate | Oh, OK. | 07:54 |
| kevin_ | inanimate: yes, I just got it working. | 07:55 |
| kevin_ | inanimate: just install the package and restart konqueror. | 07:55 |
| inanimate | Awesome. | 07:57 |
| inanimate | Thanks... | 07:57 |
| inanimate | I feel like that is such a hack... | 07:57 |
| inanimate | (Not your fault of course.) | 07:57 |
| kevin_ | no problem, I agree. | 07:57 |
| kevin_ | I dunno, konqueror is really nice in some ways and kind of lame in others. | 07:58 |
| inanimate | Yeah. I love the fact that it fits in well with KDE and feels a lot lighter weight, but it's severely lacking in some areas... | 07:58 |
| kevin_ | The biggest reason why I don't use it is flash support is nonexistant (on 64 bit system at least). It's bad in firefox and it is worse in konqueror. | 08:00 |
| kevin_ | Pain in the ass. | 08:00 |
| inanimate | Oh man... Flash in Konqueror... | 08:01 |
| inanimate | Well, Flash in general doesn't support 64. | 08:01 |
| inanimate | On any platform. | 08:01 |
| kevin_ | It sort of does half the time in firefox. | 08:01 |
| kevin_ | Seriously, fuck Adobe. | 08:01 |
| inanimate | Yeah... | 08:01 |
| inanimate | Basically everybody is running a 64 bit machine... | 08:02 |
| kevin_ | Honestly. | 08:02 |
| inanimate | Although not necessarily a 64 bit OS (I'm still running 32 bit, for instance, just because getting everything to support 64 bit is more pain than I'm willing to deal with). | 08:02 |
| inanimate | But as far as I know, Adobe has no plans to release a 64 bit Flash anytime soon... | 08:03 |
| kevin_ | Really, I think it comes down to saying fuck the web though. HTML sucks, Javascript sucks. | 08:03 |
| kevin_ | CSS sucks. | 08:03 |
| inanimate | Yep. | 08:03 |
| inanimate | Yeah, unfortunately Flash in Konqueror is kind of broken (at least for me, it only loads the first time, and chokes every time afterward). | 08:04 |
| kevin_ | I mean, web development is so damned hard. It should not be. I don't like SGML's philosophy; I wish TeX won on the web.... | 08:04 |
| kevin_ | same here. | 08:04 |
| inanimate | Well part of the problem I see is now everybody tries to do layouts in CSS. | 08:04 |
| inanimate | Which it was obviously not designed to do. | 08:04 |
| kevin_ | Well...it works partailly.... | 08:04 |
| kevin_ | *partially | 08:05 |
| inanimate | If by "works" you mean enough browsers have implemented hacks to make float: look reasonable. | 08:05 |
| inanimate | Which is why Konqueror still fails 45% of the time. | 08:05 |
| kevin_ | yeah. Noone looks at their site in it. | 08:06 |
| inanimate | Pages naturally aren't using any standards because there *aren't* any layout standards, so people just go with what works in FF and IE. | 08:06 |
| inanimate | Regardless of whether or not it is standard or even reasonable. | 08:06 |
| inanimate | So Konqueror is left playing catch up. | 08:06 |

| siriusb | thx. i really looking forward to insatll it. tried livecd, and it was wooooow | 09:48 |
| kalidar | yeah | 09:49 |
| kalidar | its a linux game | 09:49 |
| Mamarok | .dat doesn't sound like though | 09:49 |
| Mamarok | you should have either .deb or .rpm files, or a source package | 09:50 |
| Mamarok | kalidar: do you have a website where this game can be downloaded? | 09:51 |
| kalidar | no i have the instal cd | 09:51 |
| kalidar | but theirs no instal file just a folder with a bunch of dat files in it | 09:51 |
| kalidar | and the patch and keygen are exe files | 09:52 |
| Mamarok | kalidar: well, then you should have an installer on it, no? | 09:52 |
| Mamarok | still sounds like a Windows version, not Linux... | 09:53 |
| kalidar | what does a linux instaler look like | 09:53 |
| kalidar | its windows and linux | 09:53 |
| kalidar | and inside the linux folder is a bunch of dat files | 09:53 |
| kalidar | its called uplink.zip and i open it | 09:53 |
| kalidar | and then its datfiles | 09:53 |
| kalidar | should i unzip to .lib or something | 09:53 |
| kalidar | oh wate theirs a binary file | 09:54 |
| kalidar | it has no extention | 09:54 |
| kalidar | oh nevermind its a exe aswell :( | 09:55 |
| kalidar | i duno what to do it says for linux but theirs exes inside wth | 09:55 |

| jonah | hey guys, can anyone please help. i have latest kde installed on intrepid and i want to share my home folder or sub folders with my mac somehow. tried clicking on sharing tab in dolphin and system settings but seems complex and then i don't know how to get it up on the mac. i'd like to open my main computer from macbook to watch video and access work etc, can anyone help me please | 10:26 |
| jussi01 | jonah: do this: sudo apt-get install ssh | 10:34 |
| jussi01 | then use your ftp client to sftp into the linux machine | 10:34 |
| jonah | jussi01, i would prefer finder access if possible?? | 10:35 |
| jussi01 | jonah: yeah, you can do it, I just dont remember how right at this second and Im not near my mac currently. :/ | 10:35 |
| Laruft | sorry for the faq, but how best do I install firefox under jaunty? | 10:36 |
| jonah | juss01, ok so how do i know what ip my main machine is for my mac to access? | 10:37 |
| jonah | jussi01, i'm a bit stuck here. i installed ssh as you said but now what do i do? i loaded up filezilla but don't know how to connect to linux | 10:45 |
| Laruft | jonah to get your ip try this, open a shell ifconfig -v wlan0 | 10:46 |
| Laruft | or ifconfig -v eth0 if using physical ethernet cable | 10:47 |
| jonah | Laruft: ok done that and got a readout of stuff | 10:47 |
| Laruft | for me.. i got | 10:47 |
| Laruft | wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:6b:06:09:ac | 10:47 |
| Laruft | inet addr:192.168.0.17 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 10:47 |
| Laruft | so my local ip is 192.168.0.17 | 10:48 |
| Laruft | did u want to know local or external ip? | 10:48 |
| jonah | Laruft: i don't know! haha i just wanted something so my macbook can connect to my linux box with samba, ssh or anything so i can use files that are stored on main linux box on my mac | 10:49 |
| Laruft | the external ip, is provided by your isp and will appear in your router configuration page if you are using one | 10:49 |
| Laruft | are you using router or something? or just machine to machine? | 10:49 |
| bdizzle | hi, I was wondering if someone could help me get firestarter working. I've tried to load the program and it won't come up | 10:50 |

| bderagon | and the second I switch back to my video card, boom, white screen | 14:38 |
| bderagon | how do I fix this? | 14:38 |

| Le-Chuck_ITA | In kde3 I used to install kcontrol for the purpose | 15:56 |

| Le-Chuck_ITA | let's go another way | 15:58 |
| genii | Le-Chuck_ITA: kcmshell --list might give you some useful modules | 15:59 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | is Systemsettings an executable or just a menu entry? | 15:59 |
| demon | hmm genii it was just a desktop | 15:59 |
| demon | :( | 15:59 |
| demon | nothing like in the screen shots | 15:59 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | genii: no modules! | 15:59 |
| genii | demon: Screenshots usually show a hightly customised desktop | 15:59 |
| SubCoolEnt | Hey- whats the link to the sources? | 15:59 |
| demon | genii: whatw as the command to mount a cd | 16:00 |
| demon | iso | 16:00 |
| FireyFly | My xserver seems to have crashed :/ | 16:00 |
| genii | demon: usually something like: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 | 16:00 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | sudo apt-get install systemsettings | 16:01 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | that's clear now | 16:01 |
| FireyFly | Accoring to /var/log/Xorg.0.log the X server has recieved signal 11; any ideas? :/ | 16:01 |
| genii | Le-Chuck_ITA: the package kde-guidance provides whatever modules that kcmshell can know about | 16:02 |
| SubCoolEnt | i have to update my sources- its been a while | 16:02 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ok I now have systemsettings and it's empty | 16:02 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | genii: thanks | 16:02 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | genii: no such package in jaunty | 16:03 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | was it renamed' | 16:03 |
| genii | Le-Chuck_ITA: Possibly. Unfortunately I'm still on 3.5.10 Hardy | 16:03 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | genii: ok thanks | 16:03 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | didn't expect so many news | 16:03 |
| genii | Gah. Kubrick looks like it's freaking out again | 16:04 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | will try ubuntu+1 ... BluesKaj you sure you don't know anything more about this? | 16:04 |
| genii | Le-Chuck_ITA: #ubuntu+1 is also #kubuntu+1 so hopefully some kde devs may be there | 16:04 |

| ScorpKing | JuJuBee: i'm not an expert at squid. just having a look at the notes i made | 16:41 |
| Dragnslcr | SubCoolEnt- not unless there's something specific to upgrade | 16:41 |
| marcel | hi | 16:41 |
| marcel | i have redrawing issues in kde 4.2, there are sometimes white lines left that should be redrawed, is this a common issue? | 16:42 |
| Dragnslcr | SubCoolEnt- new not-quite-stable versions of KDE are usually in a separate repository for a while | 16:42 |
| marcel | hello? | 16:43 |
| SubCoolEnt | Dragnslcr: im trying to find the website that lists all of the respos, and conts | 16:43 |
| ScorpKing | JuJuBee: to allow and block sites i have "acl blocked url_regex -i "/etc/squid/blocked"" & acl allowed url_regex -i "/etc/squid/allowed"" | 16:44 |
| genii | SubCoolEnt: The updating part of the repositories is usually done on the other end, where they are putting newer versions of the apps into the sources which are listed in your repositories on the local machine. So you only need to add a repo if it's from someplace foreign for a specific app or so. For instance wine needs their repos for latest versions, and medibuntu repositories have all the codec stuff. Etc, etc | 16:44 |
| Dragnslcr | SubCoolEnt- what exactly are you looking for? Just the addresses of the base repositories? | 16:44 |

| matthew | as a fellow newbie the best way is to go to adept > sources > software sources | 16:51 |
| genii | demon: As far as I understand you need to add a repo to your sources.list , likely the ppa one | 16:51 |
| matthew | > updates > tick unsuported updates | 16:52 |
| genii | SubCoolEnt: Firefox can be installed from regular repositories. Just use add/remove programs and search for it. Or on command line: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 16:53 |
| matthew | after i did that the packages updated through adept IIRC | 16:53 |

| genii | demon: Well, thats the idea of having it save your session | 17:38 |

| cinex | mt computer is randomly restarting: how do you check if it is the power supply? | 19:23 |
| CzarAlex | I have dual monitors. When I boot the latest stable kubuntu LiveCD, everything appears okay until the desktop loads. On both screens I have a black background, no icons of any sort and all I can do is move the mouse around. This is mirrored on both monitors. If i unplug one monitor from the video card (keeping power off isnt enough) and restart, everything is great on the remaining monitor. Suggestions? | 19:24 |
| cinex | CzarAlex: nvidia ? | 19:24 |
| CzarAlex | yews | 19:24 |
| CzarAlex | Yes too | 19:24 |
| victim | cinex: I don't know how to help you, but there various logs to check to see of it is an OS fault first | 19:25 |
| cinex | erm. do u want the moniters to be next to each other? | 19:25 |
| cinex | victim: the logs dont even see it go down | 19:25 |
| victim | cinex: does the pc just switch off? | 19:25 |
| cinex | restarts victim | 19:25 |
| cinex | no sign of it overheating either | 19:26 |
| CzarAlex | cinex, ideally, yes. but for now, i`ll settle with just getting it to load without having to unplug a monitor from the video card. | 19:26 |
| cinex | CzarAlex: have you messed with the settings in the Nvidia X Server settings? | 19:26 |
| victim | cinex: is the power lead firmly attached ;) | 19:26 |
| cinex | nvidia-settings | 19:26 |
| cinex | lol victim yes | 19:26 |
| CzarAlex | cinex, can I do that with the liveCD? I haven't installed yet and don't want to if this is going to give me grief. | 19:26 |
| cinex | livecd? | 19:27 |
| cinex | did u install the nvidia drivers? | 19:27 |
| CzarAlex | I haven't installed the OS yet. Im trying it out on the LiveCD and its giving me grief. | 19:27 |
| cinex | yeah but CzarAlex you can't utilize the nvidia graphics card without installing it. | 19:27 |
| cinex | hold on | 19:28 |
| cinex | kmenu > system > hardware drivers | 19:28 |
| cinex | open that and see if there is a nvidia driver to 'activate' | 19:28 |
| CzarAlex | I`ll check that out. Thanks/ | 19:28 |
| genii | CzarAlex: You can install things onto the livecd version to see if they work before you install the entire OS | 19:29 |
| cinex | then you can set up the duel display with the nvidia-settings command | 19:29 |

| PaperTiger | I tried to install it before, but realised I forgot to turn RAID off, so I had to restart in the middle of it | 20:09 |
| PaperTiger | Now, it won't go past % for the format part of the install process. | 20:09 |
| PaperTiger | Btw, all the %'s are 5 | 20:10 |

| PaperTiger | Right, while I'm waiting for the format, I should be doing Economics, Business and Law work... | 20:20 |
| PaperTiger | One last question. Why do you run Linux instead of Windows? | 20:20 |
| wasutton3 | does anyone know how to pass commands to linux from irkick | 20:20 |
| stdin | PaperTiger: because I think Linux is better quality, both in the core OS and applications | 20:21 |
| mapzzzz | PaperTiger: so that my wife doesnt have to worry about pests like the Conficker worm | 20:22 |
| PaperTiger | stdin: Fair enough. I decided to try it and stuck with it because I liked the reliability and speed of the OS. After about 3 days of unsucessful attempts at getting Windows to recognize a RAID array, which Linux didn't do either in all fairness, but still, I thought I'd go for a full Linux OS | 20:23 |

| mefisto__ | kalidar: you could put it in autostart I suppose, though you shouldn't need to | 22:56 |
| kalidar | how i do that mefisto | 22:56 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: systemsettings > advanced tab > autostart | 22:56 |

| kalidar | does that help budz? | 23:06 |
| idespinner | kalidar, does that command show what driver KDE is activley using? | 23:06 |
| idespinner | err driver X11 is using... | 23:06 |
| idespinner | or just hardware | 23:06 |
| kalidar | not sure | 23:07 |
| kalidar | i just did what i was told to lol | 23:07 |
| idespinner | err sorry, do u know mefisto__? | 23:07 |
| mefisto__ | it's intel 943/940GML | 23:08 |
| mefisto__ | no it doesn't list the driver | 23:09 |
| kalidar | aww | 23:09 |
| kalidar | what information do you need master instruct me and i shall do :) | 23:09 |
| kalidar | tell me how to get it and ill snapshot it | 23:09 |
| idespinner | how would one go about finding the activer driver X11/KDE is using? | 23:10 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: does fullscreen video work ok? | 23:11 |
| kalidar | yes | 23:11 |
| kalidar | fullscreen video works | 23:11 |
| kalidar | just fullscreen games wont work and metacity --replace works | 23:12 |
| kalidar | to fix it | 23:12 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: maybe a workaround would be to create a script for each game that starts metacity, then starts the game, then switches back to kwin when you exit | 23:13 |
| kalidar | nooooooooooo!! everytime i metacity --replace it skrews up all my widgets lol | 23:13 |
| kalidar | and i have alot of widgets | 23:13 |
| kalidar | if everytime i load a game it breaks my desktop ima get mad lol | 23:13 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: and what if you switch back to kwin? do widgets go back to normal? | 23:13 |
| kalidar | u sure theirs no other way ?? | 23:13 |
| kalidar | i havent tryed! how do i do that | 23:14 |
| kalidar | kwin --replace? | 23:14 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: exactly | 23:14 |
| kalidar | hold on | 23:14 |
| kalidar | hmm weird | 23:14 |
| kalidar | nothing happend my shell froze | 23:14 |
| kalidar | and is now not doing anything just said disabling the gtk-qt theme engine for "metacity" | 23:15 |
| kalidar | ok ill try just adding it into my startup | 23:15 |
| kalidar | how do i do that again mefisto | 23:15 |
| mefisto__ | add metacity --replace to systemsettings > advanced tab > autostart (that will do it after login) | 23:17 |
| kalidar | thanks buds apreciated :) | 23:18 |
| === Dillizar is now known as vitor | ||
| mefisto__ | kalidar: just googled and found there is a bug with your intel video driver. try disabling desktop effects and then try a game | 23:19 |
| idespinner | mefisto__: Link? | 23:20 |
| idespinner | I have the intel GMA video card | 23:20 |
| mefisto__ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/282010 | 23:20 |
| kalidar | ok i have metacity --replace as a pre-kdestartup | 23:20 |
| kalidar | is that ok? | 23:20 |
| kalidar | and its a script | 23:20 |
| kalidar | sound good to you? | 23:20 |
| kalidar | testable? | 23:21 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: don't know if that will work pre-login. I think when you login it will just start kwin | 23:22 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: but give it a try | 23:22 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: are you using kwin now? | 23:22 |
| kalidar | ok thanks buds im gona log in and log out rite now | 23:22 |
| kalidar | no im using metacity | 23:22 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: you should also try a game with desktop effects off | 23:23 |
| kalidar | no never lol | 23:23 |
| kalidar | must have full effects | 23:23 |
| kalidar | or i cant play the games are like atari graphics anyway | 23:23 |
| kalidar | they need all they eye candy they can get lol | 23:23 |
| kalidar | now that i got this problem solved now beguins the great epic of getting WindSlayer to work with wine! | 23:23 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: desktop effects aren't going to do anything in a fullscreen game though. right? | 23:24 |
| kalidar | that should only take me a fiew days of constant winehq enquireys | 23:24 |
| kalidar | yeah but i like my desktop effects :( | 23:24 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: you could just disable it before starting a game | 23:24 |
| kalidar | wana see a screenshot? | 23:24 |
| kalidar | yeah thats true | 23:24 |
| kalidar | but i like to be able to let other people use the computer and not have to do anything technal to play games yaknow? | 23:25 |
| kalidar | whats the command just outa curiocity | 23:25 |
| kalidar | ill give it a testrun | 23:25 |
| kalidar | anywah thanks buds | 23:27 |
| kalidar | l8tr | 23:27 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: to disable desktop effects? | 23:27 |
| mefisto__ | idespinner: you have any trouble with fullscreen games? | 23:30 |
| idespinner | not sure, havent tried any yet. I can test of course | 23:31 |
| idespinner | im running the latest kubuntu beta and am not even sure the proper GMA drivers are loaded | 23:31 |
| mefisto__ | idespinner: you mean jaunty? | 23:32 |
| idespinner | yea, 8.04 | 23:32 |
| mefisto__ | 9.04 ? | 23:32 |
| idespinner | sorry | 23:33 |
| idespinner | yes, 9.04 | 23:33 |
| mefisto__ | ok | 23:33 |
| idespinner | my xorg.conf only lists generics | 23:33 |
| idespinner | could be that I just dont understand xorg.conf fully | 23:33 |
| mefisto__ | xorg.conf isn't what it used to be. X normally autoconfigures now, so xorg.conf is useful for overriding that autoconfiguration | 23:34 |
| idespinner | where do I look to see what driver xorg is *really* using? | 23:35 |
| mefisto__ | idespinner: not sure, trying to figure that out. anyone else know? | 23:35 |
| idespinner | ive been looking aswell for a bit... | 23:36 |
| mefisto__ | idespinner: if I do lshw -C display it shows my driver, but I have ati graphics | 23:36 |
| kalidar | ls | 23:36 |
| kalidar | hey script dosent work :( | 23:36 |
| kalidar | help? | 23:36 |
| idespinner | I think lshw only does hardware devices from the man page, but I could be wrong | 23:37 |
| kalidar | tryed to autostart script for metacity --replace | 23:37 |
| idespinner | lsmod shows the right driver... but once again, im not certain xorg is really using that module... | 23:37 |
| kalidar | but it dosent work | 23:38 |
| kalidar | could someone tell me how im suposed to do it | 23:38 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: try adding it as a program so it starts after login, or switch that script to start after login | 23:39 |
| mefisto__ | idespinner: if it's shown in lsmod, I'm pretty sure it means that module is loaded | 23:40 |
| === gabriel is now known as socketbind | ||
| mefisto__ | kalidar: so you have kwin running now? | 23:44 |
| mefisto__ | kalidar: instead of a script, try adding metacity --replace as a program in autostart, or change what you have now to "startup" instead of "pre-KDE startup" | 23:47 |
