[00:00] Here is the output of aptitude -f install : http://paste.ubuntu.com/141740/ [00:03] neoandersen: "Permission denied" means you need to do it as root, prepend "sudo" to sensitive commands [00:03] neoandersen: use sudo [00:04] !sudo | neoandersen [00:04] neoandersen: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [00:06] but the package manager program ask me the password before I install the package... [00:07] In the synaptc of Ubuntu its enough to enter the password... [00:07] neoandersen: the package manager calls sudo behind the scenes, for command line apps you need to use sudo manually [00:08] ok [00:08] for instance: sudo apt-get -f install [00:08] ok === PC16-Sala3-381 is now known as blackfire [00:09] but I can enter the sudo and after try again in the pachage manager program? [00:11] Tried installing monodevelop, and it's missing a bunch of dependencies. Who do I complain/talk/whine to about that? [00:11] neoandersen: sudo bash --login, and you will never be asked for the password again. Easy to shoot yourself in the foot [00:13] neoandersen, amgarchIn9: better to do "sudo -i" or "sudo -s" [00:13] hey is there anyone here that can help me with what you might think is a simple problem? [00:14] i am new to linux and set my password while intoxicated (bad idea) and now can't change do anything cause i don't remember my password [00:14] Good one... [00:14] no not really [00:14] EtFb: #ubuntu-motu or file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monodevelop/+filebug if it's not already reported [00:14] tsimpson: Thanks. [00:15] i found out how to change it but with my limited knowledge i don't even know how to get to the screen it tells me i need to be looking at [00:15] mcgrorey: reboot into recovery mode and use "passwd " [00:15] mcgrorey, when booting up, use the 'single' parameter in grub. This will start the system in single user mode, from there you can use the command 'passwd accountname' to change the password on that account [00:16] there will already be a grub entry with single, called "recovery mode" [00:16] mcgrorey: The real solution is to install a program that does a breathtest before letting you use sudo... [00:16] Don't ask me how to use grub, I figure it out everytime I need to do something with it, I just follow the on screen prompts for editing boot parameters etc. [00:16] when it comes up you use the arrow keys to choose, and enter to select :) [00:17] hey all, how can I disable the annoying startup sound / recycle bin empty sound [00:17] please [00:17] you may need to press escape to see the menu, not sure about the default setup [00:17] ActionParsnip, open sound settings in "system settings" [00:17] i bought a iogear digital scribe aka digital pen and i want to get it work in ubuntu any idea of how to get it to work [00:17] Ash-Fox: notifications or multimedia? [00:17] ok now for the real question how do i get to grub? [00:17] i bought a iogear digital scribe aka digital pen and i want to get it work in kubuntu any idea of how to get it to work [00:17] notifications [00:17] !grub | mcgrorey [00:17] mcgrorey: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:18] mcgrorey: when booting you press escape [00:18] you'll see a line of text like "Loading GRUB" in the top left of the screen before it comes up [00:18] mcgrorey, you press escape before the kubuntu thing goes up. Generally holding down escape is a good idea. [00:19] Ash-Fox: got it, awesome duder. thanks [00:19] after i installed my graphics driver i no longer have sond in flash with firefox [00:21] !flash [00:21] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:21] i installed flash [00:21] i held esc now i just have MBR 2FA: and i can't type anything [00:21] joejc , did use apt/adept or did you DL the tarball? [00:22] adept [00:24] can anybody here give me a hand getting my wireless card to work? [00:25] What is the diference of sudo -i to sudo -s ? [00:26] heroicwisdom: What brand/model of wireless card is it, and what encryption is there on your access point? [00:26] joejc , in the terminal : locate libflashplayer.so , navigate to a dir that contains libflashplayer.so, copy it and paste it into /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins . That will give flash global access [00:26] neoandersen: -s just runs the shell as the other use, -i simulates a login of the other user [00:26] the card appears to be a atheros - the problem is i cant get kubuntu to get the card working [00:27] i have flash in firefox but no sound in flash [00:27] the output of lspci:07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[00:40] it's right [00:41] aptitude search is useful on these occasions. you only need to know part of the package name [00:41] or sudo apt-cache search [00:41] what is better? aptitude or apt-get? [00:42] aptitude search restricted | grwep extra for instance [00:42] apt-get is shorter [00:42] I believe aptitude handles dependency checking better [00:42] *grep [00:42] i am still confused I have restarted this thing like 30 times the only thing holding esc seems to do is make the mouse not work [00:43] then if I put sudo aptitude install kubuntu-restricted-extras it will work fine? [00:43] it should [00:43] if that's what you need, yes [00:44] I want all this stuff well installed at once... [00:45] that's a well cool package :) [00:45] hello!

[01:04] fine=find [01:04] ssh -X @work.org no longer works sadly [01:05] alepot: http://joejc.pastebin.com/m26306ef0 [01:05] !ssh [01:05] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol.

Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [01:05] bdizzle, you mean as part of PS1 in the shell [01:06] bdizzle: you useed an alias? what says "type ssh"? [01:06] brb [01:07] no [01:07] okay, I used to enter ssh -X username@work.org and it would automatically connect, ask for password, then go from there [01:07] they changed it on me [01:07] so that now I must login using ssh -X login1@work.org [01:07] but then terminal translates that to ssh -X bdizzle@work.org [01:07] and then enter password [01:08] obviously, it does not like this and rejects me [01:08] bdizzle: maybe ssh username@login1.work.org ? [01:08] got it, thank you [01:09] could anyone help me with my behringer uca20 usb souncard? [01:09] i really dont know what else i can do [01:11] Is it just 9.04 or does flashplaye not work [01:13] i have sound but its really soft [01:14] joejc: alsamixer? kmix? [01:15] kmix [01:15] should i try to change that? [01:16] fixed it [01:16] why did it only effect flash? [01:18] flash is funny [01:19] kmix front mic has to be way up for me to hear sound [01:19] how do i enbable compiz? === nikolai is now known as CyberSlon [01:23] joejc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Compiz [01:26] hi everybody.

[01:54] I tried doing it and it just failed on me [01:56] anyone have a linksys router I need some help, nothing will stay connected if it connects at all [02:03] MonoDevelop 2.0 has been released, but the version included in the repositories for Kubuntu Hardy is still only 1.0. How do I drag my computer into the future? Is there a "we're not stuck in the past" repository somewhere that I can add? [02:04] bdizzle: Did you try just using gzip in a console? [02:04] not yet, I'm doing it through Dolphin as normal [02:05] err, Dolphin / Konqueror, whichever you call it these days === stebnem is now known as tttsssttt [02:07] hi! [02:07] bdizzle: Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't trust GUIs to do what command-line programs do better. Too many assumptions. Just say gzip -c NAMEOFFILE > NAMEOFARCHIVE.gz [02:08] gotcha [02:08] Can I ask a silly question [02:08] is the kde wallet something I want to get used to using? [02:08] command-line rules! [02:08] bdizzle: The -c is useful to know; without it, gzip replaces the original file with the archive, which can be surprising. [02:08] etfb: if it makes you feel any better, I grew up in Win 95+, so I didn't get the early DOS experience that most started with [02:08] yeah, that would be bad for this [02:08] more quickly [02:08] considering its my research and such of the past year [02:09] bdizzle: You can always just go back to your backups though, right? [02:09] hehehe [02:09] yeah, sure.. [02:16] bdizzle: Seriously, though: get a cheap second-hand hard disk, around 60Mb should cost you only a few bucks, then buy a USB disk enclosure with power supply from any Circuit City/Dick Smith/etc style electronics store. Plug it in once a week and use rsync to copy off everything in /home and maybe /var, /etc and /usr depending on space. Why not? [02:17] true [02:17] (Sorry, meant 60Gb. 60Mb wouldn't hold much.) [02:17] lol [02:17] I'll see what I can do, money is tight [02:17] bdizzle: I swear: if you can't get a usable backup for under thirty bucks, UR DOIN IT RONG. [02:17] lol [02:18] amazon / ebay / newegg? [02:18] ... Or a friend who just upgraded his desktop and has a hard disk sitting around doing nothing. I have twenty of the suckers sitting on a shelf because I couldn't be bothered using them. [02:19] gotcha [02:19] I'm in Australia, where we don't trust Amazon to be able to ship stuff in reasonable time for a reasonable cost without hitting a whale in the South Pacific and sinking... so electronics stores work for me. [02:20] lol [02:20] fair enough [02:20] I dunno, I got a movie from Australia, so it works from AUS - US [02:20] hi I cannot read dvd's but they do autoload, when I put in a dvd, libdvdread3 is installed [02:20] how can i create my own server? [02:20] it doesn't work [02:21] bdizzle: That's because Australian ships' captains know how to steer. Those American ones are useless. [02:21] lol [02:21] * etfb wonders if bdizzle really is laughing _out loud_ every time he says he is. Could be be lying??? [02:21] alright, should I put in the condition that lol = *chuckle [02:22] but that lol is quicker to type than /me chuckles [02:22] dsmith_: There's a weirdness in some versions of Kaffeine where the xine settings are wrong and you have to explicitly tell it a different CD/DVD device than the one it defaults to. [02:22] no this is via dolphin [02:23] i cannot view the files [02:23] dsmith_: Weird. Sorry, I avoid Dolphin due to the high concentration of dumbth. [02:23] dsmith_: Does it work from the console? Is it mounting OK? [02:24] scd0 mounts fine [02:24] yep [02:24] my app switcher seems to have vanished, how can I restore it?? === smitty is now known as Guest53255 [02:24] i know its weird [02:24] How about Konq? [02:24] hmm let me check [02:24] konqueror uses dolphin in file browsing mode [02:25] tsimpson: Que? Not in Hardy it doesn't. Is this another reason why I should never upgrade? [02:25] in hardy, just ditch dolphin === otm is now known as otm_ [02:25] it's not even dolphin [02:25] okay, so Jaunty is coming out soon [02:26] any "OMG, gotta have it" features? [02:26] ok... [02:26] dolphone, konq and terminal does not read [02:27] bdizzle: I hear they're upgrading from KDE4 to KDE3.5 because the KDE developers finally realised that if they wanted to produce pretty eye candy that crashed constantly and was missing essential features, they could get jobs working on Vista. [02:27] rofl [02:27] i unmounted and remounted multiple times [02:27] KDE 4 was pretty, once it worked [02:27] lol [02:27] nice etfb [02:27] shush, don't make me get the o-stick [02:27] bdizzle: That momentous day must have come after I upgraded my Intrepid box to Hardy. [02:27] o-stick... I just watched "office space" [02:27] lol [02:28] 0-face! [02:28] <- o stick [02:28] dsmith_: Oh - doesn't read? You can't see the DVD from the konsole either? [02:28] nope [02:28] i tried all three ways [02:29] it mounts just fine [02:29] are you sure it's mounted? (and mounted to where you're looking?) [02:29] yes [02:29] ../media/cdrom [02:29] and "mount" shows it? [02:29] yes.. [02:29] shows on my desktop [02:29] Tried it in a different machine? [02:30] in konsole, don't mount's have a green background? [02:30] no [02:30] thats how it shows on mine :P [02:30] that's for globally writeable files/dirs [02:30] oh ok [02:30] yea cdrom is read ONLY [02:30] dsmith_: FAT/VFAT disks probably show up like that, I guess. [02:31] dsmith_: What about execute permissions? You can't open a directory unless the directory's entry has +x [02:31] no, disk/FreeAgent/NAS1 are ext3 [02:31] let me look [02:31] dsmith_: because iso9660 has no concept of permissions, by default all permissions are granted, even if the actual media is read only [02:31] hmmmmm [02:32] tsimpson: Oh, is that how it works? Good old iso9660, bringing us all into the bright world of 1980. [02:32] only CD/DVDs with the rockridge extension have permissions [02:32] user/group shows as a number.. [02:32] perhaps thats why? [02:33] dsmith_: Does chowning it work? I've seen weirdness like that before and it's never pretty. [02:33] what's the /etc/fstab line for /media/cdrom0 ? [02:33] tsimpson: let me check [02:33] etfb: let me look at fstab 1st [02:33] brb [02:33] should be something like "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0" which will give user/group to your user [02:34] dsmith_: I've got "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0" which I guess is similar enough. [02:34] ... /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,utf8,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 [02:34] doh I see it [02:34] ro [02:35] dsmith_: The suid is a bit suspicious, isn't it? I'm only guessing though. [02:35] hmmmmmmmm [02:35] you have rw there too [02:35] and dev? [02:35] yea why is that in there [02:35] wow hack job [02:35] let me fix [02:36] and atime make no sense for RO media [02:36] im going on 2 years of linux use now [02:36] i must have copied it from someone or somehwere [02:37] * etfb figures he should read [man mount] some time and learn more stuff [02:37] heh [02:38] Right, back to work. Bye all. [02:42] how can I sync a folder between 2 kubuntu machines? [02:42] rsync or ssh are good ways [02:42] !rsync [02:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [02:42] oh noes [02:42] ssh is a protocol, right? I use it [02:42] * afeijo googling about rsync [02:43] yeah, but you can use to it transfer files [02:43] i installed kubuntu 8.1 and the desktop looks good, but the graphics on some of the application, such as Firefox are terrible,, any ideas? [02:43] rsync is more advanced though, something like "rsync -avz host1:/dir/ /local/dir" will keep dirs in sync [02:44] tsimpson: fabulous, just what I need to keep my php sources syncronized ;) Thanks!!! [02:44] afeijo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync has more moire information on it [02:47] tsimpson: its still being a pain [02:48] !rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [02:48] I'll remember that, tsimpson [02:48] ..../dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 [02:48] tsimpson: any ideas about my graphics?

Im pertty sure my display drivers are not 100%.. i keep getting little graphical glitches. For example... scroll bars not rendering in Java applications [04:07] And my web browser graphics are also a little funky [04:08] What can i do about debugging this kind of issue? [04:12] hey guys whats the package i have to install in 9.04 to get the opensource ati catalyst drivers? [04:13] in one of my profiles, i tried to enable visual effects and now the display under that profile is completely messed up. how can I revert it back? === jara is now known as jara_ === jara_ is now known as jara__ [04:51] i have firefox ,but i cant pllaay googel vido,s , whhhat do i need to install to be able to view them [04:54] i think it's flashplayer larry... isn't firefox telling you about missing plugins?

[06:32] 大家说说话阿 [06:33] 别太寂寞 [06:33] !cn | cyz [06:33] cyz: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:39] is ubuntu immune to this new virus or worm coming out? [06:39] eross: yes [06:41] using my kde 4.2, the monitor keeps blanking out. I have to hit a key to restore the display. I checked the screensaver and power management, no boxes are checked. Am I missing something? [06:43] 不知道 ->(don't know) [06:44] ooo nice fonts [06:44] really? :-) [06:45] is that japanese? [06:45] no ... chinese [06:46] ohh.. guess i'll have to learn it soon [06:46] but that's for another #irc channel [06:46] Yes [06:47] Sorry ii can not help with you monitor problem ... you use 8.10 ? [06:47] yes [06:47] going through all my settings, maybe it's a compiz thing [06:47] kde 4.2 is then installed by the "not supported" updates [06:48] maybe a compiz thing ... i am not using compiz on kde anymore since 3.10 [06:48] kde 3.5.10 i mean [06:49] i have it installed but it's not running as a service [06:50] So you never did "compiz --replace" ? [06:50] no [06:50] mmm [06:51] anyway ... i am now using jaunty. Things are different here [06:52] how so? when will it be released? [06:52] eross: i use 4.2.1 on here [06:53] and a lot of other newer versions of software ... so maybe your problem could be fixed in Jaunty [06:53] They say it will be released on the 23rd of April [06:53] now it is in beta testing [06:53] wow.. [06:54] Yes ... works nice [06:54] i'm looking at the screenshots on the beta page [06:59] i would be more excited, but the license for Qt is too expensive if you want to produce a 'cheap' commericial app or game [07:00] Is QT not LGPL now ? ... [07:01] Does that mean you can not write commercial code with it? [07:02] i think it reads for 3.0 you can [07:04] hmmm ... i am not a developer, so i am not that familiar with the licenses [07:07] ok I got it cleared up, any changes to Qt source should be provided under LPGL [07:10] but when using LGPL QT and not making changes to the QT source, can you then use it in a commercial app without paying a license fee for QT? ... [07:12] that's what someone just told me in the #qt channel [07:12] gtk+ also has released a stable version recently [07:12] Nokia bought QT and made it LGPL, and also want to use it on mobile phones (i think) ... does that mean all the hobby programmers can not make commercial apps anymore without a $$$ license? [07:14] i think LGPL means if you make improvements to QT you need to release the source, if you sell it. [07:15] i need to find a licensing for dummies book [07:16] but using the code and linking your own code to it is not making improvements to QT [07:17] right [07:18] SO then people should be able to write their commercial apps without a expensive QT license ... imho [07:19] right again, as long as they don't modify the QT source and recompile it. that's what I'm getting from it. [07:24] ? [07:24] Hello all [07:24] I am from Sydney ... [07:24] Am I alone? [07:24] hi Sydney [07:24] Hi [07:24] what time you got [07:24] Where r u from? [07:24] 5:25 pm Wednesday [07:24] florida [07:24] time [07:24] 2:24am Wed [07:25] has anybody successfully installed kde4-minimal (from debian packages) - or is there a minimal KDE install for Ubuntu ? [07:26] SandGorgon: afaik there is no kde-minmal in Kubuntu like in debian [07:27] @SydneyGuy09 - I *used* to live in Sydney if that counts... ;) [07:27] Riesh: sigh... i wish there were [07:27] Where r u now? [07:28] SandGorgon: if you want minimal maybe you can try to install the packages one by one ... which are required to run kde [07:29] how to mount a .bin file.. in hardy heron [07:29] i have tried smount media.iso -o loop /media/mnt but when i mount .bin file i get error [07:30] SandGorgon: maybe you can find out from the debian repos which they have in 'minimal', and find there kubuntu equivalents [07:31] s/there/their [07:32] Riesh: hmm... good idea.. [07:33] how to reply on irc.. i mean here.. if someone tells something how should i reply before taking his name [07:36] husayn__: you know mount-ISO ? ... i think it is a service menu for kde 3.5.x [07:37] Thought that would be able to help you mount cue/bin images [07:40] husayn__: just reading you then need to have a "cdemu" kernel module loaded [07:41] привет народ [07:41] !ru [07:41] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [07:41] кто нить ставил runtu 3.0? [07:41] hi all [07:42] husayn__: see http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=11577 [07:42] kto nit mojet pomoch s runtu 3.0? [07:43] ауууу [07:54] with ubuntu and firefox, do I need to be concerned about malicious java, silverlight, or other cross-platform code? [07:56] eross: i am not sure, but plugins like noscripts can help for extra safety ... i think [07:56] and stay away from websites which might have this kinds of code .... [07:57] or if going there - disable java [07:58] but most malicious code need first to run javascript to launch it, so when having "noscript" you should be save (imho) [08:01] can anyone tell me how to tell me how to modify grub's menu.lst to include my 8.10 installation of ubuntu? [08:04] rosco_y: grubs menu.lst is located in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... why the installation of kubuntu did not install it's own menu.lst is not really clear [08:06] Riesh: Thank you--it did install grub (and the menu.lst) file, but right now I'm in a 32-bit install of ubuntu, my 8.10 install is a 64 bit install on a different partition, and I want to add it to my current grub [08:06] (so I can boot the 64 bit install--I don't know how to identify what disk it's install on, to make the entry in menu.lst [08:07] shoot, I'm really confused right now--it's actually on the same HD as my first installation of ubuntu, so would it be on the same disk? [08:08] rosco_y: don't know :-) ... [08:08] slap, slap--I suppose a web search would tell me how to make the entries I need :( [08:08] don't know here you installed it ... how many disks you have ... [08:08] I don't know why I didn't think of that [08:08] two disks [08:08] sda and sdb .. [08:09] ahh...that rings some bells [08:09] fdisk -l /dev/sda probably gives different partitions as fdisk -l /dev/sdb [08:10] but all my first installations have entries like this: (hd1, 1) [08:10] I don't see anything about sda, sdb... [08:10] Yes .. thats in grub/menu.lst [08:11] grub sees disks/partitions like hd0,0 as the first part on the first HD [08:11] thats sda1 [08:12] I have an idea I want to try...might have a chance if I cut and paste from my last installations menu.lst entries.... [08:12] rosco_y: you can do indeed [08:12] if It doesn't, no harm done....I'll just reboot back in 32 bit, and try again.... [08:13] mayeb you can see on the other disk if there is a linux installation with /boto/grub/menu.lst ... where you can get some info from [08:13] So thanks Riesh, maybe I'll talk to you later [08:13] good luck :-) [08:24] Anyone in Australia?

Also see http://www.kubuntu.com/support.php [08:40] SydneyGuy09: you mean something like a Canonical IRC server? [08:40] yes [08:41] irc.ubuntu.com - but it just goes here... [08:41] :) [08:41] So that is an alias to irc.freenode.net [08:42] jussi01: but to make it clear... #kubuntu is for technical support, #kubuntu-offtopic is for any other support (like sharing experiences)?

[10:02] surely need to change the accès right ? But how? [10:04] yoritomo: whats the output of: file ~/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc [10:05] yoritomo: does it say the file exists? [10:06] no error wait [10:07] i don't know why it does not display my message on this chan : considered as parameters :o [10:07] **/home/yoritomo/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc: writable, regular file, no read permission [10:07] working now [10:08] yoritomo: sudo chown -R $USER /home/$USER; sudo chmod -R 750 /home/$USER [10:08] yoritomo: have you recently ran: sudo dolphin [10:08] yoritomo: by any remote chance [10:08] sudo dolphin, yes often [10:09] the last time i made a chmod i was good for a format :( with edgy eft [10:09] yoritomo: this is why. DON'T [10:09] yoritomo: to avoid this use: kdesudo dolphin [10:09] beter to use kdesudo ? what different on it? [10:10] yoritomo: sudo is oNLY for cli apps [10:10] like mv, cp, apt-get [10:10] ok and then to retablish the right now? [10:10] sudo will not set up the environment for gui apps, like dolphin, konqueror etc [10:10] so there is kdesudo (and gksudo in gnome) for gui apps that need power [10:11] they set up the environment correctly and will not damage access and ownership as you have just experienced [10:12] spring [10:12] who know spring [10:12] !info spring [10:12] Package spring does not exist in intrepid [10:14] then i need to make kdesudo now, to browse to the file dolphincg and then to set the rights on this file manually ? [10:15] java [10:15] yoritomo: if you want to run dolphin as sudo use: kdesudo dolphin [10:16] yes but now to disable this annoying message [10:16] ? [10:16] yoritomo: you will now need to re-chmod and chown the file so you have full access, or you can simply rm the file which will reset dolphin settings but you will get a fresh file when you next run the app [10:17] yoritomo: sudo chown $USER ~/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc; sudo chmod 750 ~/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc [10:19] thanks you so much :) [10:19] working now :) [10:19] yoritomo: stay off sudo for gui apps and it wont happen again [10:19] kdesudo for gui apps [10:20] you get a lot of 'sudo gedit' crap in guides too and i ALWAYS email the author [10:20] yesterday i tryed to install the java plugin for firefox, no more java download messages, but still not appearing on yahoo games [10:20] yoritomo: is your ubuntu 84bit or 32bit [10:20] 32 [10:20] kubuntu intrepid [10:21] !java [10:21] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

[17:23] hybr1der: samba is slightly different afaik, if you use the same usernames and passwords as ubuntu it will marry up nicely [17:24] man smb.conf is an extensive document but worth reading [17:26] Anyone from Ottawa Ontario (Canada) on this channel? [17:27] thank you so very much! [17:28] hi [17:28] hi. can anyone tell me which are better, kde meta packages, or individual packages. i wondered why some of my packages have been removed automatically when doing updates, and it seems that autoremove has issues with either meta packages or individual packages (of that meta package) being installed together [17:28] hi manuel__ [17:29] i kdm logs me out when im idle , how can i stop that behavour ? [17:29] i think meta are better becouse you get all nesecarry files you need [17:30] i'm not sure each meta package contains all the applications i want [17:30] hmm [17:30] so, i install application X and next thing i know, autoremove wants to remove a whole string of things [17:31] i can't seem to drag and move windows in kubuntu [17:31] i had the same problem i did autoremove and then reinstalled kubuntu-desktop [17:32] spawn57: does holding alt help? [17:32] yeah [17:32] thanks for that manuel__ [17:32] I'll stick to that, thanks.. [17:33] ActionParsnip: do you have trouble draging windows too? [17:35] I lost my bottom panel (with the "start" menu), can anyone tell me how to restore it? [17:35] hybr1der: you need to add an smb password to the username which is kinda what smbpasswd does [17:36] spawn57: none at all [17:36] spawn57: thats a standard X feature though [17:36] how can i stop kdm to do autologout of my when im idle? [17:36] manuel__: as in start a screen saver? [17:37] ActionParsnip: don't usually have this trouble in windows. ... ah well. I'll use alt [17:37] ActionParsnip: thanks agian [17:37] spawn57: does a reboot help? [17:37] ok,... now i have a weird question about my knetwork manager icon on system tray.. normally it looks like a few bars (like wireless connection... i dunno how to explane it) some other times, it changes to a green world 'ball' any clue of why that happens and/or which one is the good one and / or how to fix it?? :D [17:38] the green ball never appears straight after booting, just sometimes after restarting X... not an issue bue i am curious [17:38] can anyone tell me how to restore the panel on the bottom of the screen? [17:38] *but [17:38] rosco_y: from add widgets, add panel [17:39] aga, how do I get to add widgets, if I don't have the menu system? [17:39] right click "add widgets" [17:39] rosco_y: i don't know if a screensaver starts i work on display :1 when this happens could be possible that on :0 is a screensaver [17:39] :) thanks [17:39] ActionParsnip: naw.. happens everytime [17:39] or in the top right corner there's a funny "something" [17:39] but that'll add the panel in the top most likely :) [17:40] rosco_y: how can i stop that behave when a screensaver is used [17:40] manuel__: does your screen saver start up when you get logged out? [17:41] hallo @all [17:41] spawn57: i'd check mouse settings [17:41] I'm wondering if you aren't actually getting logged out, but if it might be in your power settings [17:41] no problem rosco_y sorry i was not really clear... [17:41] rosco_y: i don't know i work on xserver :1 and then its got black and kdm appears [17:41] ActionParsnip: tried that. too :\ [17:41] i'll ask around in #kde tomorrow just to make sure [17:42] sorry manuel__, this noob isn't going to be much help here.... [17:43] anyone know what metapackage digikam is in? [17:44] twisted_g: i installed it manually, but are you using kde 4.2 by chance? i think i read you installed something and asked you to remove a lot of packages???? [17:44] aga: what i'm trying now is this... apt-get install kde OR apt-get install kubuntu-desktop === smitty is now known as Guest54836 [17:44] both want to remove digikam for some arb reason [17:45] now i know that if i reinstall it afterwards, then something else will be autoremoved [17:45] its driving me a bit nuts [17:45] :) [17:45] =O [17:45] aga: KDE 4.2 yes [17:45] * nathan7 <3 4.2 [17:45] twisted_g: let me do a quick googling, i am pretty sure i read there were issues with kubuntu 4.2 and digikam [17:45] Although I did get a hole in my side panel a sec ago. [17:45] twisted_g: kde is a very different metapackage than kubuntu-desktop ... [17:46] problem is were === panos is now known as Guest44746 [17:47] dwidmann: as far as i can tell, kde is the one i want [17:47] twisted_g: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 in the bottom you will see [17:48] i was checking kubuntu-desktop as a comparison [17:48] thanks for that aga [17:48] digikam will not install due to conflicting library versions [17:48] maybe that's why it is removing it [17:48] i can't live without digikam though :) [17:48] lets read [17:49] honestly i think i read somewhere else how to fix it... but i don't use a lot of digikam so i did not worry much about it [17:49] aga: i'll have a look, thanks for the heads up, and i know where to look in the future [17:49] aga: one last question, "kde" package is the general one that i want right? [17:49] or "kubuntu-desktop" [17:50] Hmm, I've been compiling from source ... and I've got kubuntu 4.2 branch and digikam 0.10 working well together :) [17:50] dwidmann: cool [17:50] which version of digikam was it conflicting with? [17:50] would you recommend kubuntu jaunty as 32 or as 64 bit version on a amd64 desktop? i see no really use for 64-bit arch on desktop ;-) [17:50] dunno dwidmann i just know what that website says [17:50] and reading here http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/digiKam?content=16082 looks like needs to be compiled [17:50] 0.9.4 [17:51] twisted_g: i think it's about kde 4.2 [17:51] i mean the whole thing i understand is that kubuntu 9.4 comes with kde 4.2 [17:51] aga: okay.. im still on intrepid [17:51] but digikam will not install because of the libraries thing, maybe and only maybe, that's why it's trying to remove it [17:51] waiting for the next release [17:51] me too twisted_g but removed my digikam also... so the only thing i can think about is that there must be some conflicts [17:52] aga: good to know... which meta package do i use for a "full-featured" kde though? "kde" package or "kubuntu-desktop" package? [17:52] After more than one year of developement, porting code to KDE4/Qt4 api, and backporting new features from KDE3 branch, digiKam is now available for KDE4 as beta. === smitty is now known as Guest49954 [17:52] that's in the second link [17:52] kubuntu-desktop twisted_g [17:52] k [17:52] that's what i installed myself [17:52] ctp: well, if you don't need >3GB memory, and don't need extra performance for number crunching things (encoding, folding, rendering, etc), then it really doesn't make much of a difference [17:52] well, lets give it a go [17:52] thanks [17:53] when i use OOo to open a shared doc on a server, OOo really open a temporary copy of the file, in the /tmp rep. It is not useful when i waat to save my doc (i have to do a copy on my computer, then upload it on the server..) any suggeston? [17:53] dwidmann: same point of view here ;-) [17:53] aga: digikam 0.10 is out now too, released a week or two ago [17:53] no problem twisted_g... again nothing i said it's an absolute truth, just my suspicious [17:53] dunno dwidmann really, just googling here and there [17:54] don't use digikam at all [17:54] and i ain't no authority [17:56] i'm still wondering about this funny green ball which appears sometimes in my network manager [17:57] hi! i want to install w32 codecs in kubuntu, but can't find it in the repos [17:57] so i can view real media files [17:58] mom lean2501 [17:58] !w32codecs [17:58] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:58] ooo nice i was looking for that [17:58] need to remember all these triggers [18:01] aga: if you come inregular you get to know them [18:01] !bot [18:01] Hi!

Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [18:26] But, it does not work as expected: If one single person leaves a note, an empty node appears on the screen with only the date in the title [18:27] If 2 notes are sent, I get three notes on the desktop: an empty one, and the 2 notes that were left... [18:27] has anyone else experienced this problem [18:27] ? [18:32] aga: got a relatively decent kde installation, minus digikam [18:32] aga: suppose i'll just have to wait till compatible library wise [18:32] no more autoremove messages *woohoo* [18:39] finally kde upgrade has begun :) [18:39] twisted_g: [18:39] sorry i was doing dinner hihi [18:40] i'm just sad that are only few files [18:40] dwidmann: mentioned that the kde4 release for digikam is out (i will find the link in a second) then i checked the repos, and i saw that the version there is something like 0.9.something... and apparently you need 0.10 [18:40] in the webpage i have seen there is this version, but only the tarball so i guess it needs to be compiled... [18:40] and about that i cannot tell you a lot... but let me find the link [18:42] i guess that's the one you need twisted_g http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/434 [18:44] thanks aga.. not sure if i'm comfortable compiling with kubuntu... i come from gentoo, so i'm not unconfortable with building, but kubuntu is primarily a binary distribution right? [18:46] twisted_g: linux is linux ... if you like to complie software you can do as easy in kubuntu as in gentoo [18:46] Riesh: i'm going to get to know apt a bit better first [18:47] twisted_g: there are many apt- programs [18:47] How complicated is it upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2 ? [18:47] Riesh: i've been using linux for 12 years full time [18:47] like apt-cache [18:47] OK ok [18:47] sd [18:47] me 10 year [18:47] sg: you have to write only one, but VERY VERY comples command [18:47] Riesh: just new to ubuntu and i don't want to end up in a situation where apt is autoremoving things because of lib conflicts [18:47] sudo apt-get update [18:47] started with redhat 5.1 [18:47] Riesh: thats why i'll think long and hard before building digikam [18:47] :-) [18:48] redhat 3 for me i think it was [18:48] :-) [18:48] in console just that ? [18:48] then some slackware [18:48] then gentoo [18:48] and finally ubunut [18:48] ubuntu [18:48] sudo apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade copy paste this [18:49] my track was redhat > mandrake > suse > debian > ubuntu > kubuntu [18:49] also used gentoo [18:49] ah i forgot about suse HEH [18:49] Ok thanks will do now :-/ [18:49] didn't last long with suse [18:49] sorry, sg, correct command is [18:49] sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [18:50] i forgot a sudo :P [18:50] i think when you install from source (coimpile) apt- won't get messe up [18:50] twisted_g: if it's worth mentioning, digikam 0.10 works well [18:50] twisted_g: sorry for the gaps, but dinner is in the fire... i dunno anything about compilng, but as Riesh said, linux is linux... and people around here seems to compile all the time [18:50] Okei helps that I'm slow on the keybord :-) [18:50] aga: np hehehe [18:51] anyway for the moment updates are just a little part of the real 4.2.2 [18:51] gimox: I usually do && instead of ; [18:51] i use && for testing [18:51] aga: well, i'll build to /usr/local then [18:51] compiling on a fresh install is somewhat tedious, but the more things you compile the more streamlined it becomes [18:52] (seeing as you end up compiling and/or installing more and more dependencies) [18:52] dwidmann: digikam is the bomb... i love it [18:52] how to install realplayer i hv downloaded .bin file [18:52] That, and there are a lot of tools to help with compilation [18:52] * twisted_g nods [18:52] I agree. Digikam is an awesome example of opensource goodness [18:52] dwidmann: it was a big shift for me moving from gentoo to kubuntu [18:52] i usually create ~/Sources [18:52] dwidmann: had to get used to NOT compiling everything :-P [18:52] and compile everything in there [18:53] is there a problem with KDE 4 and KMail's installation (is it conflicting with plasma?) [18:53] twisted_g: pleasant change eh? [18:53] I think I went Slackware -> Gentoo -> [ Mandrake Debian RedHat ] -> Kubuntu [18:53] kmail is preinstalled in kubuntu 9.04 [18:53] ok.... now i am back hehehe [18:53] ubunturos: what version of kde4/kmail? (ie: apt-cache polilcy kmail) [18:53] **policy [18:53] Yes. Slackware was my first distro o_o [18:53] me Debian -> (Sidux) -> Kubuntu [18:54] slackware is almost boring [18:54] twisted_g: i am just starting on linux ...i cannot advise much on stuff like compiling and where... but i am good googling ;) [18:54] Ok a long list of strange lines [18:54] dwidmann: i've had to change my way of thinking, but yes, its been a pleasant change [18:54] sidux it's quite better [18:54] And in the end [18:54] me: Mandrake->Debian->Kubuntu->Debian->Kubuntu.... [18:54] kuaera: and ubuntu isn't ? [18:54] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [18:54] dwidmann: see if http://pastebin.com/m118a095c can help you?

[18:56] there is a whole new dictionary to be learnt hihi [18:56] ubunturos: kde 4.1 you say, yet that pastebin made a lot of mention of kde 4.2.1, which means either the kde ppa packakges, or jaunty kde packages [18:56] ok, if you're using intrepid i get your problem :) [18:56] aga: my dad is 72.. computer illitterate mostly, but using the pc for about a year now [18:56] install server edition an do apt-get install kde :) [18:57] aga: normally to rip gospel cds :-P [18:57] jaunty is the next release of Ubuntu, it will be relesed on 27 april [18:57] hahahaaha [18:57] atm is in Beta, but it's a lot more stable than intrepid :P [18:57] aga: i left my account logged in and he sat down to write a cd with k3b [18:57] I'm using Kubuntu [18:57] Ubuntu = Kubuntu [18:57] aga: when i got back, he'd got "lost" and installed a gnome-desktop somehow [18:57] Cool.

[19:04] gimox: I usually just get stuff from KDE trunk - no version declarations there [19:04] ok [19:06] Is dowloading done with a single comand in Console or is it a much bigger opuration than that?

I think i might have some HD problems. I was told to install smartmontools? Ive done this via sudo apt-get smartmontools [19:20] <[-Haza-]> No shortcut icon was created for this tool so i did a whereis smartmontools and got: [19:20] <[-Haza-]> smartmontools: /etc/smartmontools /usr/share/smartmontools [19:20] satish_: well maybe ubuntu is the wrong distro for you? when do you have an internet connection? it doesn't take long to download the codecs [19:20] !restricted | satish_ [19:20] satish_: 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 [19:20] [-Haza-]: it's a command line utility; sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda1 [19:20] !medibuntu | satish_ [19:20] satish_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:21] satish_: it is better that you consider switching to free formats [19:21] [-Haza-]: replace /dev/sda1 with other partition names as needed [19:21] <[-Haza-]> p_quarles: Thank you!

Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it. [19:23] <[-Haza-]> That have anything to do with it? [19:24] satish_: oh, that's really bad. If the monetary assets are good enough for you, you should consider ADSL [19:24] [-Haza-]: yep; health information; google "interpreting smartctl" for an explanation [19:24] [-Haza-]: and yes, sounds like you need to add the -s option to the command like it says [19:24] <[-Haza-]> p_quarles: Righto] [19:24] faydriss: heh .. [19:25] lol i do 'sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0' and it says it needs to download 24meg worth of pkgs, and 130meg hdd space will be used :( [19:25] [-Haza-]: oh, you know what? my bad! you're supposed to use the drive as an argument, not a particular partition [19:25] [-Haza-]: so, smartctl -a /dev/sda [19:25] faydriss: I guess, you do not have any limits on the data you download, do you?

[19:27] <|PaperTiger|> susbwoy, it does, but doesn't pick up my CD [19:27] <|PaperTiger|> dwidmann, other programs recognize the CD [19:28] papertiger record to cd? or transfer to hard drive from cd? [19:28] |PaperTiger|: try VLC [19:29] anyhow, like I said a minute ago, abcde is an awesome cd ripper. [19:29] <|PaperTiger|> susbwoy, for ripping? [19:29] Yeah, it has LAME i'm pretty sure [19:29] k3b rips very well, you have to choose the cdrom device in tree at the left of the K3B page [19:30] <|PaperTiger|> Okay, I'll try that when my other disk drives spits the disk out... [19:33] i use cdparanoia from commandline :-P [19:34] cdparanoia -B /dev/hdc [19:34] now that i think of it... any clue of why my dvd burner reads dvd's but not cd's???
