[00:02] anyone know how to get kubuntu to compile obj-c code ? [00:04] Is anyone able to help me figure out my color depth on kubuntu? [00:06] hello? [00:06] rmrfslash_, it's usually 24 (bit) [00:06] oh [00:08] Why not 32? [00:09] wait, I found some forum that explains this [00:09] dunno [00:10] basically 32-bit seems like a misrepresentation [00:10] on windows [00:11] Most LCD monitors can't do more than 24-bit color anyway [00:11] Your eyes can't actually tell the difference between 24bit and 32bit anyways. [00:11] Well, most of them are only really 18-bit [00:13] rmrfslash_, look in your xorg.conf file and it should show as DefaultDepth 24 under the screen module [00:14] hi, wheni watch a video on a website, where does this "temporary" file go? what folder? [00:15] anyways [00:15] I'm really enjoying the open source ati driver [00:16] really hasn't let me down (in a 2d sense) [00:16] fglrxgears give a decent rendering ? [00:16] don't have it [00:16] try it out [00:16] no 3d accel [00:17] I have nvidia , which doesn't have the equivalent to the ati [00:17] they have an open source driver... but it's reverse engineered cuz nvidia won't give up the friggin specs and code [00:19] what ati card? ..you should have 3D and direct rendering [00:19] I have DRI support only cuz I manually compiled it [00:20] the driver from kubuntu's restricted drivers tool is out of date and breaks resume fromhibernate [00:21] ok , din't know that ...I have an onboard ati , but installed the nvidia due to the probs with the ati drivers [00:21] not v/ 6.12.1 though w/ the latest drm and radeon kernel modules from the r6xx_r7xx branch [00:21] no 3d accel though.... that's not even enabled for experimental use [00:21] yet. [00:22] I'm just pleased to see the progress being made. [00:22] This is going to change things. [00:23] hi, wheni watch a video on a website, where does this "temporary" file go? what folder? [00:23] NVIDIA needs to do something... though they make a decent proprietary driver [00:23] memory? [00:23] it's just buffered into memory no? [00:24] rmrfslash_: talkin to me? [00:24] yeah [00:24] sorry [00:24] alright what does it mean? [00:24] np [00:24] zer0o: what does it mean to store data in memory? [00:24] what it means "buffered into memory" [00:25] well i got it but if its stored, it has to temporarly be somewhere [00:25] like in windows was in c:/documentsandsettings/username/personalsettings/temporaryinternetfiles or just TEMP [00:25] where in linux those files are? [00:26] 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". [00:27] 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 [00:28] rmrfslash_: hmmm so no trace of the actual video remains anywhere in the hard drive? [00:28] zer0o: it's difficult, or at least I don't know exactly how to retrieve things from RAM [00:28] 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 [00:29] zer0o: unless you go into the browser code and have it flush the memory allocation (for the buffer) to the disk [00:29] right... that. [00:29] :) [00:29] zer0o: but I think firefox code uses memory [00:30] zer0o: maybe not IE code cuz it's written by Microsoft and they're terrible programmers :) [00:30] and what about /tmp then? [00:30] zer0o: sometimes a program will write files to /tmp, sure [00:31] hmmm, not a torrent either :) [00:31] 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. [00:32] 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 [00:33] zer0o: Hmm... yer stuck. You could try to "rip" the video off the site ;) [00:33] next time [00:33] See *then* it goes to disk. [00:33] 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] rmrfslash_: i no how to do that, but i dont remember the site anymore and i wanted to keep that video [00:34] does anyone know how to test for an empty string in tcsh? [00:34] gkffcks1: tcsh?!?!? [00:34] :) === elwood is now known as Guest56520 [00:35] yep! tcsh [00:35] but it has no channel of it's own so that's why I'm asking here [00:35] dude, google. [00:36] "test for empty string in tcsh" [00:36] http://tinyurl.com/dbjxte [00:37] 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. [00:38] kuaera: why would you use jaunty in a production environment? [00:38] kuaera: it's ALPHA :D [00:38] not even beta [00:38] rmrfslash_: I know, but things that worked fine in Intrepid are now broken :/ [00:39] cuz they're messing w/ a dependency [00:39] probably [00:39] My file picker dialog is stuck in descending filename sort [ignores my changes], for one. That's annoying. [00:41] Also, I can't get the weather station plasmoid to accept my location for the life of me. [00:41] yeah........ alpha ;) [00:41] Wait til the end of April [00:41] or at least a RC if you're really impatient [00:41] I'm done using alpha sw except to contribute to the QC [00:41] heh, i'm just getting used to intrepids quirks [00:41] intrepid isn't bad [00:41] im usin it [00:41] Also, there have been no updates to KDE packages on the repo since Saturday o_o [00:41] better than hardy [00:41] or at least kde 4.2 is [00:41] r u usin 4.1? [00:41] I have some graphics issues , but mostly when I run some windows apps in wine [00:42] oh no wait... jaunty is 4.2 by default i think [00:42] That is correct. [00:42] I've never had good luck w/ Wine except in some few occasions [00:43] BluesKaj, you might consider trying a virtual machine instead of wine. [00:43] simple windows apps like utorrent and neotrace run quite well [00:43] VirtualBox or VMware Player [00:43] those work pretty well for me when I need doze [00:44] 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] which I find useful [00:44] the probs aren't annoying, just lil icons distortions [00:44] yeah.... I tried playing Crayon Physics in Wine [00:45] VB and VMware aren't worth the trouble [00:45] worked... but was a pain in the ASS to get workin [00:45] the trouble? [00:45] you just install them [00:45] i think VB is even in apt [00:46] VB will even run VMware images [00:46] to run them [00:46] can't be bothered [00:46] true, you do have to power them on... but, you don't have to deal w/ enulator issues [00:46] *emulator [00:47] just a suggestion [00:47] I don't think I can install fglrxgears w/o the fglrx driver [00:48] I get terrible performance on regular glxgears [00:48] 150 fps [00:48] 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] eugh...... [00:48] vista. [00:48] hehe [00:49] rmrfslash_, whaich ati ? [00:49] card? [00:49] yeah [00:49] mobility radeon hd 3670 [00:49] 0h , anew one [00:49] using the radeon driver v 6.12.1 [00:49] yeah... so new I can't get 3d accel :) [00:50] it's like moving backwards! [00:50] the newer the card, the worse the performance [00:50] ati is always playing catchup [00:50] might as well go buy a Voodoo [00:50] in linux [00:51] I'm hoping that since the driver is now open source it will overshoot nvidia [00:51] games eh ? [00:51] no [00:51] not a big gamer [00:51] so really the 3d accel isn't a big deal [00:51] video edit dude ? [00:51] no, but I do scientific visualization stuff [00:52] i.e. "FreeSurfer" [00:52] well more like e.g. freesurfer [00:52] dunno what freesurfer is [00:53] some 3d modeling thing [00:57] BBL, ...TV with wifey for a bit [01:03] l8er [01:16] how can i tel if ETags are enabled on my server? [01:18] 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 [01:20] slerder: Yes for both. [01:21] genii.. ok thanks, but is it a big problem to install windows to a usb drive? ( i want a truecrypt hidden installation though) [01:22] slerder: You'd likely need to ask questions regarding Windows in the channel of ##windows [01:22] genii thanks [01:23] slerder: There is also a problem of mounting encrypted Windows partitions in linux with some ways it can be encrypted (In Pro versions for example) [01:30] a program for mounting iso? [01:31] demon: loopmount it [01:31] !iso [01:31] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[07:39] I suppose, yeah. [07:53] inanimate: I figured it out. [07:53] Oh? [07:54] install konqueror-plugin-minitools, then in the 'Tools' menu, you get a bookmark editor you can type javascript into. [07:54] (Tools menu is part of konqueror-plugin-minitools) [07:54] Does that work in KDE 4 though? (Because at the moment, Konqueror has no "Tools" menu.) [07:54] See http://priyadi.net/archives/2004/11/04/using-bookmarklet-in-konqueror/ [07:54] Oh, OK. [07:55] inanimate: yes, I just got it working. [07:55] inanimate: just install the package and restart konqueror. [07:57] Awesome. [07:57] Thanks... [07:57] I feel like that is such a hack... [07:57] (Not your fault of course.) [07:57] no problem, I agree. [07:58] I dunno, konqueror is really nice in some ways and kind of lame in others. [07:58] 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... [08:00] 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] Pain in the ass. [08:01] Oh man... Flash in Konqueror... [08:01] Well, Flash in general doesn't support 64. [08:01] On any platform. [08:01] It sort of does half the time in firefox. [08:01] Seriously, fuck Adobe. [08:01] Yeah... [08:02] Basically everybody is running a 64 bit machine... [08:02] Honestly. [08:02] 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). [08:03] But as far as I know, Adobe has no plans to release a 64 bit Flash anytime soon... [08:03] Really, I think it comes down to saying fuck the web though. HTML sucks, Javascript sucks. [08:03] CSS sucks. [08:03] Yep. [08:04] 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] 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] same here. [08:04] Well part of the problem I see is now everybody tries to do layouts in CSS. [08:04] Which it was obviously not designed to do. [08:04] Well...it works partailly.... [08:05] *partially [08:05] If by "works" you mean enough browsers have implemented hacks to make float: look reasonable. [08:05] Which is why Konqueror still fails 45% of the time. [08:06] yeah. Noone looks at their site in it. [08:06] 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] Regardless of whether or not it is standard or even reasonable. [08:06] So Konqueror is left playing catch up.
