| herrow | im really new to ubuntu, i just got it two days ago so im sorry i dont know much. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| EagleScreen | joshjtl: I dont know, look for it in kde-apps web | 00:00 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow- how did you manage to delete your account? | 00:00 |
| EagleScreen | herrow do you know what is sudo? | 00:01 |
| EagleScreen | !sudo | herrow | 00:01 |
| ubottu | herrow: 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) | 00:01 |
| EagleScreen | use Kuser application in Applications -> System to create users and add it to admin group if you want | 00:02 |
| Dragnslcr | Except you have to be a superuser to do that | 00:03 |
| herrow | see, i bought two computers and my sister logged in on mine before i got to it. so i tried changing the initial user and created mine and deleted the initial user and took admin settings off. but i guess mine never got created andd i only deleted the admin | 00:03 |
| Dragnslcr | That'll do it | 00:03 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, never delete the old user until you're sure that the new user is working correctly | 00:04 |
| herrow | yep, learned that the hard way. So, i think ill just have to reinstall the operting system, right? | 00:04 |
| Dragnslcr | That's all I can think of, unless you want to try to find some security exploit that you can use | 00:06 |
| demmon | damn i cant install .deb they are cruching all the time | 00:06 |
| demmon | dont know what to do | 00:07 |
| EagleScreen | herrow you dont need to reinstall | 00:08 |
| EagleScreen | you only need root access | 00:08 |
| EagleScreen | and create a user for your sister and another one for you | 00:08 |
| Dragnslcr | Except the only user in the admin group got deleted | 00:08 |
| EagleScreen | it can become root if its grub has password in blank (no password) | 00:09 |
| Dragnslcr | Oh yeah, you can boot into single-user mode | 00:09 |
| EagleScreen | yes | 00:09 |
| Dragnslcr | I keep forgetting about Ubuntu's recovery mode | 00:10 |
| EagleScreen | he can try it, may be he will access in root mode | 00:10 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, that'll work fine | 00:10 |
| Dragnslcr | Blah, sorry about that. Forgot about single-user mode | 00:11 |
| EagleScreen | then he can set root password by command 'passwd' | 00:11 |
| EagleScreen | and become root in a normal session | 00:11 |
| Dragnslcr | Well, I wouldn't do that | 00:11 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow- are you on that computer right now? | 00:11 |
| EagleScreen | I think herrow is watching TV lol | 00:12 |
| === asobiCrash is now known as asobi | ||
| herrow | ah im sorry! hahaa yeah. im on this computer | 00:12 |
| herrow | and im a she, :P | 00:12 |
| joshjtl | anyone know what msgfmt is? | 00:13 |
| Dragnslcr | And that's why I never use pronouns | 00:13 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow- do you have another computer with Internet access? | 00:13 |
| boboso | how do i find out what driver ubuntu is using to make my network card work? | 00:13 |
| herrow | its alright! yep, i have another ubuntu right next to me | 00:13 |
| EagleScreen | boboso: are you talking about wireless card? | 00:14 |
| joshjtl | nevermind found it | 00:14 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow- probably easier to get onto IRC from there, then we can walk you through adding a new user from the shell | 00:14 |
| boboso | EagleScreen: no my wired nic | 00:14 |
| EagleScreen | boboso: did you check jockey application? | 00:15 |
| EagleScreen | I mena Restricted drivers or Hardware drivers application | 00:15 |
| EagleScreen | it os only to know if it is a rectricted driver | 00:15 |
| boboso | EagleScreen: no i didnt not sure what that is | 00:15 |
| EagleScreen | it is important | 00:15 |
| Freddy2 | hi | 00:15 |
| EagleScreen | boboso: whar Kubuntu version are u using? | 00:16 |
| boboso | 8.10 | 00:16 |
| EagleScreen | then run Aplications -> System -> Hardware Drivers | 00:16 |
| herrow1 | okay, im on the other computer | 00:16 |
| EagleScreen | and check if your card is using a restricted driver | 00:16 |
| Freddy2 | which dvd-burner will be included in jaunty? k3b? | 00:16 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: reboot into recovery mode | 00:17 |
| Freddy2 | afaik it hasn't been ported to kde4, so.. | 00:17 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- reboot the computer, and when you get to the grub menu, select the recovery mode option | 00:17 |
| Dragnslcr | Freddy2- I think k3b worked fine for me the last time I tried it | 00:17 |
| boboso | EagleScreen: ok it says nvidia driver version 177 | 00:18 |
| EagleScreen | anything else? | 00:18 |
| Freddy2 | hmm then all qt3/dcop/.. stuff is also included? even amarok1? | 00:18 |
| Dragnslcr | Freddy2- yeah, KDE3 programs run fine in KDE4 | 00:18 |
| EagleScreen | k3b (KDE3 version) and amarok 2 (kde4 version) | 00:19 |
| boboso | EagleScreen: just says i need the driver for desktop effects and stuff like that | 00:19 |
| EagleScreen | that is the driver of your graphics card | 00:19 |
| EagleScreen | not network | 00:19 |
| boboso | i know | 00:20 |
| Dragnslcr | boboso- a wired network adapter can usually just use the generic drivers | 00:20 |
| boboso | but i dont see anything for network | 00:20 |
| EagleScreen | do you want to use that card in other GNU/Linux distribution? | 00:20 |
| boboso | yes i have the same mobo on another box and when i do an ifconfig i only see the lo interface so i am trying to get my network card installed | 00:21 |
| herrow1 | is it normal for the screen to say MBR 2FA: and its said that for about 2 min now | 00:21 |
| demmon | help my kubuntu is broken i cant install .deb | 00:21 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- after you selected the recovery mode? | 00:22 |
| EagleScreen | demmon try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 00:22 |
| herrow1 | no i havent even gotten to that menu yet | 00:22 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- hm, that's probably not good | 00:22 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: reboot again your conputer may hang | 00:22 |
| herrow1 | how do i do that? since its not letting me to anytthing. | 00:23 |
| boboso | EagleScreen: my thinking was that since kubuntu got my nic working out of the box i could find out what i need to make the other box work | 00:23 |
| EagleScreen | boboso: if your card not use restricted drivers, other distributions probably has also the driver | 00:23 |
| EagleScreen | boboso: do you have a cofoguration problem or a driver problem? | 00:24 |
| boboso | not sure | 00:24 |
| boboso | i guess a driver problem since i only see the lo interface but im nto sure | 00:24 |
| demmon | dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) EagleScreen | 00:24 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- ctrl-alt-del or press the reset button on the computer | 00:24 |
| EagleScreen | which is the other distribution boboso? | 00:25 |
| Dragnslcr | boboso- what about ifconfig -a? | 00:25 |
| EagleScreen | boboso: where are you looking for your net interface? | 00:25 |
| Pollywog | I installed Jaunty and Gnome works but KDE stalls and never really appears | 00:25 |
| Pollywog | I have both desktops installed, kubuntu and the ubuntu desktop | 00:26 |
| EagleScreen | Pollywog: bad user configuration files may cause that problem | 00:26 |
| Pollywog | EagleScreen: same result after I removed ~/.kde | 00:26 |
| boboso | Dragnslcr: ifconfig -a shows my eth0 but it has no ip to it so maybe i just need to config dhcp | 00:27 |
| EagleScreen | Pollywog: did you test it with other user? | 00:27 |
| Pollywog | EagleScreen: ty I will make another user | 00:27 |
| Dragnslcr | boboso- yeah, you just need to configure it | 00:27 |
| herrow1 | alright, so the first screen said 2 for setup, right. and 0 for boot.. i pressed 0 and it didnt do anyrhing, just continued with the log in screeen. so instead i pressed 2 for setup. is that wrong? | 00:28 |
| demmon | damn i forgot the command gedit it was | 00:28 |
| EagleScreen | demmon: paste us your error in pastebin please | 00:28 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- is this a computer that you bought with Ubuntu installed on it? | 00:28 |
| herrow1 | yeahh | 00:28 |
| votaguz | #kubuntu-es | 00:29 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: that screen is strange for us | 00:29 |
| herrow1 | theres an option that says network boot? | 00:29 |
| GiantTalkingCow | Pardon me, do any of you know the last available version of Kubuntu that used the KDE 3.x branch? | 00:29 |
| EagleScreen | did you choose Ubuntu Recovery mode? | 00:29 |
| demmon | EagleScreen: http://pastebin.com/m45e2642c | 00:29 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: you may be wrong and going to BIOS or boot menu? | 00:30 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- it probably has a grub delay set to 0. Try the instructions in the 5th post here- http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1024680.html | 00:30 |
| demmon | EagleScreen: and its the same errror with everything every .deb file i try to install | 00:30 |

| EagleScreen | herrow1: we weren't talikng about that menu | 00:34 |
| EagleScreen | we mean grub menuç | 00:34 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- did you enter the BIOS menu? | 00:34 |
| EagleScreen | demmon: you will need to uninstall one or two packages that cannot be installed at same time, it is an Ubuntu bug, dependences are wrong in one of these packages | 00:35 |
| === ramon is now known as rgarcia | ||

| herrow1 | is not giving me GRUB or anything | 00:45 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: you may have to press Esc key to grub menu can appears | 00:47 |
| EagleScreen | during boot | 00:47 |
| herrow1 | it shows me a screen for about a second and then changes and continues the boot | 00:48 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: is ubuntu the unique OS in this computer? | 00:48 |
| herrow1 | yes, i have a mini 9 dell | 00:49 |
| joshjtl | hey folks how do I use apt to search for installed packages that have "word" in it? | 00:49 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: press Esc key during that small time interval | 00:50 |
| herrow1 | i have a recovery media CD, can i just use that? | 00:50 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- probably have to keep pressing Esc really fast to try to get it to give you the grub menu | 00:50 |
| EagleScreen | try it first herrow1 | 00:51 |
| herrow1 | i got to the screen that sys "MBR 2FA" should i press enter and esc one after another repeatedly? | 00:52 |
| joshjtl | can I set different wallpapers per desktop kde4? | 00:53 |
| EagleScreen | herrow1: you can use your Live CD but be patient | 00:54 |
| Dragnslcr | herrow1- worth a shot | 00:54 |
| herrow1 | ok, i feel like im making this worse. i'll probably ask someone to help me out personally.. but thank you all so much for the help! | 01:08 |

| g_ | machine** | 01:39 |
| tess_84 | i tried to restart my laptop this morning after updates and now it wont go past the setup right at the beginning, can anyone pls help me? | 01:39 |
| fosco__ | !best | 01:40 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:40 |
| skarn | thanks EagleScreen, bug reported correctly, | 01:42 |
| g_ | which is the most developed and probably the better suited virtual machine for people who like to test out different distrobutions of linux? | 01:42 |
| g_ | with the lowest hardware footprint | 01:42 |
| g_ | ? | 01:42 |
| g_ | what no b/s half assed smart ass commands for answer to those questions? | 01:46 |
| EagleScreen | well done skarn | 01:46 |
| skarn | g_ i use virtualbox, and think it' probably the easiest one, | 01:47 |
| skarn | but I guess it depends on what you mean by "low hardware fottprint" | 01:48 |
| g_ | something that a newer but not gaming laptop could handle | 01:48 |
| kingbilly | tess_84 the other day i had to press my ctrl or alt keys otherwise it never continued past the first 8-15 seconds, give a try | 01:48 |
| kingbilly | g_ i use virtualbox | 01:49 |
| kingbilly | and i have a low end laptop | 01:49 |
| kingbilly | windows 7, windows xp, and linux_mint kde beta all worked really well | 01:49 |
| skarn | g_ i have a one year old 650€ dell laptop, and elive almos flies in virtualbox :) | 01:49 |
| kingbilly | barely any lag | 01:49 |
| skarn | just try to use only OSes built for your architechture | 01:50 |
| tess_84 | kingbilly thanks for that will try itow | 01:50 |
| skarn | no win7 64bit on a 32bit kubuntu | 01:50 |
| kingbilly | i was even able to play age of empires II surprisingly smooth, but like skarn says without definine "low hardware footprint"... | 01:50 |
| g_ | virtualbox is sun's software right? | 01:51 |
| kingbilly | at least 2 of us had good results | 01:51 |
| kingbilly | yeah | 01:51 |
| skarn | virtualbox Open Souce Edition is in the repos | 01:51 |
| g_ | oh ok | 01:51 |
| g_ | does it boot up into its own environment? | 01:51 |
| skarn | there is a proprietary version, with barely any difference | 01:51 |
| skarn | no, it runs in a window, but can be maximised, i said it was really easy | 01:52 |
| g_ | is xen any good? | 01:53 |
| g_ | or kvm? | 01:53 |
| ryan_ | #ubuntu | 01:53 |
| tess_84 | kingbilly that wont work for me. it gets as far as auto detecting usb mass storage devices and wont go any further. is that as far as it went for u? | 01:55 |
| kingbilly | tess_84 do you have any usb devices plugged in? | 01:55 |
| kingbilly | i have to unplug my external soundcard just to boot | 01:56 |
| tess_84 | no i dont | 01:56 |
| kingbilly | does this occur before the grub? | 01:57 |
| tess_84 | sorry, i have no idea what the grub is. i generally leave all this to my huband but he i away atm | 01:58 |
| kingbilly | okay well it is possible you may have to go into the bios and disable "boot from usb" | 02:00 |
| tess_84 | ok thanks | 02:00 |

| thumper | frogonwheels: I mean that when I use my multimedia volume up and down keys, the volume goes up and down, but amarok's volume doesn't | 03:32 |
| frogonwheels | thumper: .. ah.. on mine that appears to be attached to the <pcm> slider. possibly that's the answer? | 03:33 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: yes, the PCM control controls my volume | 03:34 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: at least it used to | 03:34 |

| frogonwheels | What I want to know is how you can seperate the Volume control from USB keyboard vs Volume control from usb headphones! | 03:40 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: nah, I mean on the kmix tray icon it still shows PCM, and I want it to show Master, but I can't find the config | 03:40 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: nm | 03:41 |
| frogonwheels | thumper: settings | configure channels! | 03:41 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: that doesn't select the master channel, and that is where I was looking | 03:41 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: the only way to specify it is to right click on the tray icon | 03:42 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: I assumed that it would be in the general config somewhere | 03:42 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: but it isn't | 03:42 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: however, it is now working, thanks for your help | 03:42 |
| frogonwheels | under bindings for kmix, you can map the Volume Up and Volume down to specific inputs. | 03:42 |
| frogonwheels | (under the 'control pannel' keyboard & mouse - System settings.. global keyboard shortcuts. | 03:43 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: yes, I have the multimedia keys linked to kmix volume up and down | 03:43 |
| thumper | frogonwheels: the problem was it was only doing the pcm channel, not master | 03:43 |
| frogonwheels | yes. | 03:46 |
| frogonwheels | that appears to be the default. | 03:46 |

| beatzz | :x | 03:52 |

| Firefishe | My logs indicate that HAL is failing to start upon boot. Would this prevent x from recognizing keyboard and mouse input? | 05:06 |
| ruben23 | doleyb:i tied it with ubuntu...why theres an error on startup.. | 05:07 |
| ruben23 | it says ata2:00: status drdy then I/O error; | 05:08 |
| ray_ | is this the only chatroom | 05:19 |
| doleyb | ray_: there is #ubuntu and #ubuntu+1 and #kde and many more | 05:19 |

| corey | hey guys, i installed kubuntu 9.04 beta, and found that there is no pulse audio installed by default, so i installed it via apt-get and autostart it with the command pulseaudio -d, but it doesnt seem to work, it still uses normal alsa | 06:13 |
| corey | so i'm wondering how to get pulse audio to work in kde4 in general | 06:14 |

| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 06:24 |
| dennister | -f means fix | 06:24 |
| rgg | mm right..so its okay now? | 06:24 |
| dennister | should be...when you get your $ prompt back it's done and you should be fine | 06:25 |
| rgg | hmmm okay..thanks a lot;... | 06:25 |
| dennister | rgg | 06:25 |
| dennister | next time someone wants to help you, please do not flood this channel | 06:25 |
| aga | has anyone any idea why fdisk cannot open /dev/sda? | 06:26 |
| rgg | okay..i'm really really sorry | 06:26 |
| aga | or /dev/hda | 06:26 |
| dennister | usually we just need the last line or an error message pasted here | 06:26 |
| frogonwheels | aga: either it doesn't exist, or you didn't use sudo ? | 06:26 |
| rgg | ok...i'll do | 06:26 |
| dennister | did you take a look at the url for pastebin? | 06:26 |
| aga | i did use sudo, and it exists,.. just says unble to open device | 06:26 |
| frogonwheels | aga: check /var/log/kern.log ? | 06:27 |
| aga | sec | 06:27 |
| dennister | if you have lots of lines that you want helpers here to see, paste them into pastebin, and then only paste the url for your completed pastebin here | 06:27 |
| aga | last entries are fromyesterday evening frogonwheels | 06:28 |
| rgg | yes...i saw..but i didn't know thaat yet | 06:28 |
| rgg | by the way thanks a lot... | 06:28 |
| dennister | yes, using pastebin and this support channel is new to newbies, but important skill to learn | 06:28 |
| frogonwheels | aga: hmm.. is anything from either of those disks mounted? (not that it should matter) | 06:29 |
| dennister | rgg: do you understand? flooding this channel with tons of lines can get you kicked out :-) | 06:29 |
| rgg | yes i agree w/ you | 06:29 |
| aga | it is the main device frogonwheels i need to make a partition from some unallocated space | 06:29 |
| rgg | okay..understood | 06:29 |
| dennister | wonderful...so you learned 2 things tonight | 06:30 |
| aga | i could use gparted but i like to use fdisk cause it's faster | 06:30 |
| BrrInAlaska | hi | 06:30 |
| rgg | yep lol | 06:30 |
| aga | when i write sudo fdisk /dev/hda says unable to open device and i am starting to wonder why | 06:30 |
| frogonwheels | aga and gparted opens it? | 06:30 |
| aga | dunno sec | 06:30 |
| frogonwheels | aga: is it in the fdisk -l list ? | 06:31 |
| aga | nope, the first is /dev/sda1 but that's just the first partition | 06:32 |
| aga | it has never appeared i just need to open the whole device | 06:32 |
| rgg | dennister: do you know why when i'm whatching videos on youtube, if i maximize it it runs slowly...but when i whatch videos w/ kaffeine for exemple it's okay? | 06:33 |
| aga | argh | 06:33 |
| aga | how to unlock apt? i had a little issue... | 06:34 |
| dennister | rgg: no i don't I'm afraid...could be a number of things | 06:36 |
| dennister | aga: sudo apt-get install -f | 06:36 |
| aga | another process is using it | 06:37 |
| aga | but i cannot kill it dennister | 06:37 |
| rgg | flash player can be? | 06:37 |
| dennister | aga: do you have adept, synaptic, or update manager running? if you do, close it | 06:37 |
| aga | nope nothing | 06:37 |
| aga | there is an apt-get process when i go to top but i cannot kill it | 06:38 |
| dennister | aga: i know it's the lazy-winblows way, but rebooting would probably take care of it | 06:38 |
| aga | yeah was thinking about it | 06:39 |
| aga | brb | 06:39 |
| dennister | rgg: why is it important for you to have a youtube video maximized? | 06:40 |
| dennister | i mean, i download some youtube videos to my hard drive, but find that if I maximize them they lose most of their video quality anyway | 06:41 |
| rgg | no..i don't just a doubt... | 06:41 |
| === forge is now known as ForgeAus | ||
| ForgeAus | hey all still having trouble with apt-get | 06:42 |
| ForgeAus | how do I get it to do what I want it to do instead of what it wants to do first? | 06:43 |
| dennister | ForgeAus: if you're having a prob with apt-get, wouldn't you want to fix it first, before moving on? | 06:43 |
| |ikeNoOther | hi :) | 06:44 |
| ForgeAus | dennister, apt-get itself is working, its packages that are the problem... | 06:44 |
| simmons | HEY WHATS UP BABY | 06:44 |
| simmons | O SHI- WRONG CHAT | 06:44 |
| Firefishe | I just installed 8.10, and am having problems with my x session recognizing my mouse and keyboard (both usb). I'm also getting a startup error indicating that hal isn't starting, and a warning to check that dbus is running. dbus error references a file: /var/lib/machine-id, and says it should be a UUID string of some type instead of 0. | 06:44 |
| simmons | NO CYBERZ TODAY, LOLZ | 06:44 |
| === simmons is now known as frozenbacon | ||
| ForgeAus | as in if I type apt-get remove kpresenter-data it won't let me... | 06:45 |
| |ikeNoOther | how can I have the graficall kubuntu loading bar back? (I mean when my computer boots to kubuntu) | 06:45 |
| frozenbacon | anyone know how I can get my 360 to work with ubuntu | 06:45 |
| |ikeNoOther | graphical* :D | 06:45 |
| ForgeAus | because there is an unmet dependancy for koffice (kpresenter-kde4) | 06:45 |
| frozenbacon | it won't find my computer, Im sure I'm just missing something stupid | 06:45 |
| ForgeAus | frozen good question, I have no clue | 06:45 |
| ForgeAus | frozen I guess 360 uses samba | 06:46 |
| dennister | ForgeAus: try: sudo apt-get install -f | 06:46 |
| ForgeAus | try to look for it with a samba client?... | 06:46 |
| dennister | that might just take care of the dependency problem | 06:46 |
| ForgeAus | dennister, then it tries to install kpresenter-kde4 which doesn't work | 06:46 |
| ForgeAus | because I need to remove kpresenter-data for that to work (since theres a file in it it says its overwriting - nothing more integral than a pixmap, but it trips up the package for some reason) | 06:47 |
| ForgeAus | I tried even manually deleting the file but it didn't help | 06:47 |
| dennister | it's probably in your cache, so let's try to clear the cache | 06:47 |
| ForgeAus | if apt-get would just listen to me when I said apt-get remove kpresenter-data it might have worked | 06:47 |
| ForgeAus | uh, ok clear the cache? apt-get clean first? | 06:47 |
| ForgeAus | what cache are you talking about exactly? | 06:48 |
| ForgeAus | (package cache in apt as in /var/cache/apt where it copies the .deb's too?) | 06:49 |
| ForgeAus | or some other cache? | 06:49 |
| dennister | well, apt has a cache of programs it's installed or trying to install...yes | 06:49 |
| ForgeAus | yeah well thats not going to help | 06:49 |
| ForgeAus | the downloads aren't corrupt or anything | 06:49 |
| dennister | in terminal, type or paste: sudo ls /var/cache/apt/archives/partial | 06:50 |
| ForgeAus | nothing in partial | 06:50 |
| dennister | does it come back with a list of files? | 06:50 |
| ForgeAus | there are archives to install .deb packages but they're all complete | 06:50 |
| dennister | ok...i'm a bit too rusty with this technique of fixing dependency probs...hold on | 06:51 |
| ForgeAus | if I apt-get clean it will remove them but I have to re-download them anyway, and I'll be back to where I am now, so theres no point | 06:51 |
| ForgeAus | (other than wasting some bandwidth) | 06:51 |
| alba_ | hmhmm gparted won't open either | 06:51 |
| alba_ | this is so weird | 06:51 |
| === alba_ is now known as aga | ||
| ForgeAus | alba/aga, maybe try qtparted? | 06:51 |
| aga | i think there's something wrong with the partition table, fdisk cannot access the device | 06:52 |
| dennister | ForgeAus: I'm afraid I'm not the best helper/support person in the world...surprised there aren't more senior people active in the channel tonight | 06:52 |
| ForgeAus | aga try something like acronis disk director (I think its a dos program tho) | 06:52 |
| ForgeAus | it has an inbuilt XP-like gui... | 06:53 |
| === ramon is now known as rgarcia | ||
| aga | i will need to reinstall everything later today probably | 06:53 |

| aga | i had an issue yeseterday | 06:53 |
| rgarcia | pls i need help w/ audio device... | 06:53 |
| rgarcia | used to work bu now no sound | 06:54 |
| ForgeAus | hmmm I think I have an idea.. whati f I apt-get remove koffice ? the package itst rying to meet the dependency of? | 06:54 |
| aga | oook qtparted working fine | 06:54 |
| dennister | yeah, thanks, but the basics is what i remember off the top of my head; haven't had a problem like yours in a long time, so I can't remember the fix | 06:54 |
| dennister | ForgeAus: that's a good idea | 06:55 |
| ForgeAus | aga, gparted is more ubuntu than kubuntu (being a gnome program) | 06:55 |
| aga | i know... i was trying to use fdisk but for some reason it wont let me access the device | 06:55 |
| aga | go figures | 06:55 |
| dennister | hmmm: basic ubuntu 8.04 installation from livecd only took 48 minutes :) | 06:56 |
| rgarcia | does anybody can help me on this? | 06:56 |
| dennister | and that's *with* me using the manual method of partitioning | 06:56 |
| dennister | too late | 06:57 |
| aga | ok it worked this time | 06:57 |
| dennister | brb | 06:58 |
| ForgeAus | dennister, don't you just hate a good catch22? | 07:00 |
| cleme | hola | 07:06 |
| ForgeAus | awesome aga, :) | 07:07 |
| cleme | hay alguien | 07:07 |
| ForgeAus | ahh fixed it | 07:08 |
| ForgeAus | removing koffice-kde4 did it | 07:08 |
| ForgeAus | now I have to reinstall koffice-kde4 lol | 07:08 |
| aga | i dunno what is the problem with fdisk | 07:09 |
| aga | after a reboot it got into the deviceno problems | 07:09 |
| ForgeAus | now how to run adept updater? | 07:09 |
| aga | wouldnt sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade do the trick ForgeAus? | 07:09 |
| ForgeAus | possibly | 07:10 |
| ForgeAus | I'd rather use the GUI but I don't know how to run it without the system tray icon | 07:10 |
| ForgeAus | I can run the installer from the menu... hmm... lets see if that does it | 07:11 |
| dennister | ForgeAus: is there a reason why you prefer koffice to open office? | 07:12 |
| ForgeAus | dennister, prefer? no... I have both | 07:12 |
| ForgeAus | mostly I'm just following koffice's progress, rather than using it so much | 07:12 |
| dennister | well, if koffice gave you a problem, I wouldn't try to install it again unless I needed it for some reason | 07:12 |
| dennister | one office program is usually enough for me | 07:13 |
| ForgeAus | hehe one is enough for me too, but I already had koffice... | 07:13 |
| ForgeAus | it was just a problem in upgrading it to the kde4 version | 07:13 |
| ForgeAus | (one of my old kde3 packages messed with it) | 07:13 |
| dennister | ahhh...yes, I tend to stay away from kde4 for my users | 07:14 |
| ForgeAus | dennister, yeah well I'm using kde4 as my primary wm (since I didn't really have the choice to keep kde3 in intrepid) | 07:14 |
| dennister | they're usually total newbies, so are more comfortable with the kde 3.5's similarity to winblows | 07:14 |
| dennister | ah, yes, intrepid...no kde 3.5 | 07:14 |
| ForgeAus | kde3.5.x is my preferred desktop too... still.. | 07:14 |
| dennister | i'm trying to stick with hardy for the newbs | 07:15 |
| ForgeAus | ok all fixed | 07:15 |
| dennister | i tried intrepid on one of my own systems when it first came out, and deleted it real quick, too...probably better now that some maintenance releases have been issued | 07:15 |
| ForgeAus | akk gwenview/kde4 bindings removes digikam... hmmm | 07:16 |
| ForgeAus | oddly dennister, most stuff there isn't kde4 stuff for, still runs as kde3 for me, but thats becuase I upgraded so much of kde3 is still there... | 07:17 |
| ForgeAus | except the one thing I miss the most, kcontrol | 07:17 |
| dennister | although i should get off my butt and redo my dual core system with the 64 arch ...willing to give it a shot again now that 64-bit flash is finally available......but my inventory system is on it :( | 07:18 |
| ForgeAus | (everything else that is replaced works as the replaced version by default... | 07:18 |
| ForgeAus | I don't think I was actually intended to upgrade intrepid, as opposed to install it from scratch... | 07:18 |
| ForgeAus | its an odd situation I'm in... has its eccentricities... | 07:19 |
| ForgeAus | but for the most part everything works and I'm fairly happy with it | 07:19 |
| aga | i am going to have to reinstall today i think | 07:20 |
| aga | there's something borked here | 07:20 |
| dennister | ForgeAus: as long as you're happy :-) | 07:22 |
| dennister | aga: yes, sometimes a reinstall takes less time than trying to fix the issues | 07:22 |
| aga | i normally prefer to fix them tho | 07:23 |
| aga | but i have spent all sunday fighting with this and i'm starting to have enough | 07:23 |
| dennister | i can't believe i did a full ubuntu install in less than an hour...with livecd and manual partitioning scheme | 07:23 |
| ForgeAus | dennister, I do :) | 07:23 |
| aga | 8.04 was real quick to install | 07:24 |
| ForgeAus | ubuntu isn't always painful | 07:24 |
| aga | or ubuntu in general i dunno | 07:24 |
| ForgeAus | in fact its painless in many aspects | 07:24 |
| aga | kubuntu takes me longer always | 07:24 |
| dennister | i'm used to using the mini.iso or the alternate install cd, to avoid all the updates...but I seem to remember it ends up taking longer with those methods | 07:24 |
| dennister | yes, i haven't done the kde yet...updates will probably take all night | 07:25 |
| dennister | and i should go to bed...2:30 am here | 07:25 |
| aga | urgs | 07:25 |
| aga | im about to leave to work | 07:26 |
| ForgeAus | ohh koffice 4 is in beta, I didn't know that... (wouldn't have changed my decision to get it anyway... ) | 07:27 |

| doleyb | Firefishe: look in ~/.kde/share/config | 09:08 |
| Firefishe | doleyb: thank you, that's just what I needed. | 09:10 |
| Firefishe | doleyb: What file can I delete to get back to defaults? | 09:12 |
| doleyb | Firefishe: defaults for what? | 09:12 |
| doleyb | Firefishe: maybe instead of deleting things, you should _move_ all those files elsewhere, and see if that's how you like it. | 09:12 |
| Firefishe | kde 4.x desktop | 09:12 |
| doleyb | Firefishe: then if there's trouble, you can move them back | 09:12 |
| Firefishe | doleyb: This is a brand new install. Everything is new. What happend is I set some effects up but my computer--which is older--can't handle them. Now all I have is a desktop I can't see. I need to get my defaults back. | 09:14 |
| Firefishe | doleyb: So it really doesn't matter, as there's nothing to lose, anyway ;) | 09:14 |

| wizkoder | When I try to start a session in virtualbox I get the message that I should remove the kvm kernel module | 13:11 |

| wizkoder | but the next tiome I reboot the module is loaded again | 13:11 |
| wizkoder | how do I prevent that? | 13:12 |
| wizkoder | (I remove it with rmmod kvm_intel) | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | wizkoder: blacklist it (if its in the host system) | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | wizkoder: or have a script to rmmod the module then run vbox, once vbox dies modprobe the module again, depends how much you use the vbox | 13:15 |

| carpii__ | on what? | 13:32 |
| almox | Amarok servd | 13:33 |
| noren | hi all | 13:33 |
| rosco_y | carpii__: Linux :) | 13:33 |
| almox | ???? | 13:33 |
| carpii__ | rosco, i mean recommendations for windows version, or for virtualisation ? | 13:33 |
| rosco_y | well, I was thinking of trying to use my AutoCAD, and maybe my ChessMaster | 13:34 |
| wizkoder | I use Windows XP here with the Virtualbox from the Sun Page. Works good so far. but I would like kvm a lot more | 13:34 |
| rosco_y | Thanks wizkoder, I'll look into that | 13:35 |
| tobor | wizkoder: just for our enlightenment what is the good stuff that kvm has? | 13:35 |
| carpii__ | i tend to use vmware, but my home lan is more of an small business setup | 13:35 |
| carpii__ | XP on vmware is dandy | 13:35 |
| rosco_y | wizkoder: what do you do in your virtual XP? | 13:35 |
| tobor | wizkoder: sort of, what do you like about it? | 13:35 |
| wizkoder | I just try webpages with IE6 .-) | 13:35 |
| wizkoder | And try Google chrome | 13:36 |
| wizkoder | I am a web developer | 13:36 |
| rosco_y | ok | 13:36 |
| tobor | wizkoder: so you use it for testing web pages on multiple browsers with moving to another machine? | 13:36 |
| rosco_y | I suspect I'll probably have to go with a raw installation in the end, but I'm curious to see for myself what it's like | 13:36 |
| wizkoder | No I test ff2/3 on linux and ie6/7/8 on windows | 13:37 |
| rosco_y | tobor: that seems like a pretty good idea | 13:37 |
| tobor | wizkoder: s/with/without/ :) | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | wizkoder: could run it seamless mode to look leet :D | 13:37 |

| tobor | (why do my typing erros ALWAYS reverse the logic of what I'm trying to say and NEVER look like errors? ! ) | 13:38 |

| === vincenzo|away is now known as vincenzo|fac | ||
| wizkoder | I tried kvm first. But gave me errors. So I tries virtualbox and it just worked. As I do only need it for browser testing performance is not important. So the easiest package wins :-) | 13:38 |
| rosco_y | but why would you prefer kvm? | 13:39 |
| tobor | makes good sense. Get the job done anyway you can. | 13:39 |
| tobor | rosco_y: re:typos - hehe :) | 13:39 |
| rosco_y | (I'm trying to decide what to install--which should I try first?) | 13:39 |
| wizkoder | kvm is not sun. thats why :-) | 13:39 |
| rosco_y | lol | 13:39 |
| wizkoder | and sun belongs to ibm soon :-( | 13:39 |
| rosco_y | wizkoder: that's sad | 13:40 |
| tobor | eye bee who? | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | wizkoder: ibm are awesome, they loves the linux | 13:40 |
| rosco_y | so does that mean I should be worried about my choice to use mysql? | 13:40 |
| wizkoder | no they don't. the just dance on all weddings.... | 13:40 |
| tobor | ActionParsnip: only true for a very small part of IBM. People I know who work at IBM say that the company is like Europe in the middle ages, may small kingdoms, ofetn at war witrh each other. | 13:41 |
| tobor | ActionParsnip: to determine what IBM really wants you have to look deep into their annual report and see what directions their revenue is trending in and match that up with their hiring numbers. up with | 13:42 |

| tobor | reagleBRKLN: does that actually say "shortcuts" in the menu? | 13:50 |

| almox | tem algum servidor para o Amarok??? | 13:51 |
| tobor | reagleBRKLN: OK, when I go to konq the "configure shortcust" seems to be dealing with creating alternative key-sequence that do stuff | 13:52 |
| reagleBRKLN | yes, and i want a shortcut to go to homepage | 13:52 |
| tobor | reagleBRKLN: go to home page means you want a new tab opened on your default broswer page? | 13:53 |
| reagleBRKLN | no, i want current tab to go to home page | 13:53 |
| tobor | reagleBRKLN: or you want the current tab to move to your default page? | 13:53 |
| reagleBRKLN | much like alt-tab does now | 13:53 |
| tobor | heh OK. | 13:53 |
| reagleBRKLN | i mean alt-home | 13:53 |
| tobor | reagleBRKLN: I'm on konq 3.3.1 - I dont see any shortcut for moving the current tag to the home page. There is a ctrl-home, but that open the home directory | 13:56 |
| tobor | reagleBRKLN: and i dont see any option for adding new shorcuts to konq, although my konq is old. | 13:57 |
| reagleBRKLN | tobor: i had it working in 3.5... it's not new, i just want my alternative 'ctrl-g' to do the same thing alt-home does | 13:57 |
| tobor | reagleBRKLN: 3.5 is newer than mine. | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tobor: you need a license for windows if you are using windows, open OSes are free to install as you see fit under the GPL | 13:59 |
| tobor | ActionParsnip: I meant the license on vbox. Is it GPL? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tobor: oh yes definatle | 13:59 |

| tobor | reagleBRKLN: and alt-home does not open in a new tab? | 14:00 |
| reagleBRKLN | correct | 14:00 |

| JoKoT3 | the default one is kate | 15:26 |

| mauri29 | How to avoid this message?: "Information - Dolphin / Unable to change the permissions of /media/sda5/......" It ocurrs while copying or moving files in a ntfs partition, every time. I'm useing KDE4.2. I know a little what it means, but I can't find a solution modifying /etc/fstab. | 15:36 |
| * cuznt thinks compas was pointed in the wrong direction | 15:36 | |
| mike1312 | Thanks JoKoT3 Now its fine | 15:37 |
| JoKoT3 | mike1312: these's are mime types, I don't bother understanding them :) | 15:38 |
| mauri29 | I use Kubuntu in spanish, so I translated this text message to english useing Google. In spanish forums I can't find any solution. In english Google don't give me any results, I mean this is because the translation to english doesn't match the KDE message exactly. Anybody can tell me in english if this message apear? | 15:40 |
| mauri29 | Or where to find something about fixit ? | 15:40 |
| mauri29 | (sorry my bad/little english, thanks) | 15:41 |
| vital | What would be the best driver for my ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 card if I need 3d-accelleration? i've had trouble getting the proprietary ati-driver to work with x-server 1.6. | 15:41 |
| dwidmann | mauri29: I think what it might mean is that ntfs is incompatible with unix-style permissions (It uses ACL) | 15:41 |
| jeltsch | mauri29: I didn’t read the beginning of you question but you can run applications without translation (i.e., in American English) by setting the LANG variable to C temporarily. | 15:42 |
| jeltsch | For example, to start Kate in English, open a terminal and then enter this: LANG=C kate | 15:43 |

It ocurrs while copying or moving files in a ntfs partition, every time. I'm useing KDE4.2. I know a little what it means, but I can't find a solution modifying /etc/fstab. | 15:45 |
| mike1312 | mauri29 If you prefer to use commands there must be file system type ntfs-3g #mount -t ntfs-3g .... | 15:46 |
| dwidmann | mauri29: it gives you that message, but does copying the files work okay anway or fail? | 15:46 |
| jeltsch | mauri29: Ah, maybe Dolphin just shows a message it got from some other tool. And this tool is run with translations enabled. | 15:46 |
| mauri29 | jeltsch: this message does not apear in english, I translated useing google from spanish for posting here. | 15:46 |
| ForgeAus | wow myblueheaven showed up on a RSS fee dI was reading, I guess I need a companion now, myredhell? | 15:47 |
| mauri29 | dwidmann: copying files work fine, only this message is annoying(?) | 15:47 |

| bab | Hi. Where can I get infos about programming under Linux? How can I get informations about a window which is in front? | 15:51 |
| jussi01 | bab: what kind of programming? | 15:52 |
| mike1312 | mauri29 Do it as root | 15:54 |
| mauri29 | mike1312: yes, I did | 15:55 |
| mauri29 | I mean this situation is because permissons in ntfs are handled in other way, ext3 for example, does. Any body know how this message apears en english exactly? "Información - dolphin / No se pudieron cambiar los permisos de" Google-Translation--> "Information - Dolphin / Unable to change the permissions of /media/sda5/......" It could me help to search with Google and find solutions on forums | 15:55 |
| bab | jussi01: I want to create a tool which show name of the current window in front. My tool should create a special menu for this application after getting the infos. | 15:55 |
| bab | jussi01: Do you know some websites with tutorials that can help me? | 15:56 |
| mauri29 | mike1312: $ sudo umount /dev/sda5 \n umount: /media/sda5: device is busy. \n (In some cases useful info about processes that use \n the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) | 15:58 |

| rgarcia | for example this pack | 16:58 |

| pietje_phuck | dwidmann: thanks | 17:00 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: I dunno about that one ... I've never used amsn | 17:02 |
| rgarcia | do you know another one better than amsn? | 17:02 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: umm, you could try kopete, or pidgin | 17:03 |
| rgarcia | pidgin..right... | 17:04 |
| rgarcia | dwidmann: how do i paste bin? | 17:04 |
| dwidmann | !paste | 17:04 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 17:04 |
| rgarcia | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/145523/ | 17:05 |
| rgarcia | take a look on what is happening | 17:06 |
| rgarcia | when i use dpkg | 17:06 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: what I said above about removing only applies when removing, when intalling you actually use a file w/filename, ie: LimeWireLinux.deb | 17:07 |
| pietje_phuck | What has happened to "su" in 9.04? | 17:07 |
| pietje_phuck | oops | 17:07 |
| rgarcia | sorry but could you pls write for me what i have to do(write) because i'm new here and i did not get you told me | 17:08 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: sudo dpkg -i LimeWireLinux.deb | 17:10 |
| rgarcia | but i have already installed here | 17:10 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: alternatively, though, you could install that with gdebi by navigating to it in dolphin/konqueror/[insert file manager here] and clicking on it :) | 17:10 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: it looked like you were trying to install it, in the paste you linked me to ... | 17:11 |

| rgarcia | look i copy ur text there | 17:13 |
| rgarcia | i want to removew it | 17:13 |
| dwidmann | try "sudo dpkg -r limewire-basic" | 17:15 |
| rgarcia | yes it works...but now explain me why does the real name doesn't work? | 17:16 |
| === scharwatt is now known as Tiquetoun | ||
| dwidmann | rgarcia: because dpkg only deals with packages, so a filename as an argument would onlyl make sense for installing ... or something like that. | 17:17 |
| dwidmann | rgarcia: maybe the manpage can describe "why" better | 17:17 |
| rgarcia | mmm..and where did you find that name? | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | can somoene make a .deb out of a source pacakge for me? | 17:17 |
| ForgeAus | (maybe even add it to kde-looks.org) | 17:18 |

| cuznt | i use my arm across the keyboard | 18:32 |
| cuznt | thats random | 18:32 |
| orte | hi everybody | 18:32 |
| Dragnslcr | draik_- probably easiest to write a bash/Perl/Python/PHP script to do it | 18:33 |
| orte | that's right | 18:33 |
| twisted_g | from (apt-cache search random | grep string) : libstring-koremutake-perl - Convert to/from Koremutake Memorable Random Strings | 18:34 |
| twisted_g | libstring-random-perl - Perl module for generating random strings | 18:34 |
| Dragnslcr | You shouldn't need a module for it. It's only about 3 lines of code | 18:35 |
| draik_ | Dragnslcr: Don't suppose you know of one that's already been created? | 18:35 |
| twisted_g | try http://www.random.org/strings/ ? | 18:35 |
| Dragnslcr | I could write it in PHP in about a minute. Might take closer to two or three minutes for me in Perl or Python | 18:35 |
| shock_day13 | hey everyone | 18:38 |

| Oceanwatcher | Anyone heard anything about when kubuntuforums.net will be back online? A very friendly forum with a lot of great knowledge. | 18:40 |
| aga | ok... i am a bit worried... linux-headers-2.6.27-11 linux-headers-2.6.27-7 linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic | 18:40 |
| aga | is it safe to remove that? | 18:40 |
| twisted_g | hiya aga, i got the same issue | 18:41 |
| twisted_g | 2.6.24 though | 18:41 |
| twisted_g | with 2.6.27 installed, just not making much sense how it shows though | 18:41 |
| pawelbial | please type uname -a | 18:41 |
| draik_ | twisted_g: I want more than alphanumeric | 18:41 |
| aga | i am just wondering why apt said that those packages are not needed anymore... | 18:42 |
| twisted_g | draik_: then you're gonna have to write one | 18:42 |
| aga | Linux alba 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:00:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux | 18:42 |
| twisted_g | draik_: follow PhilRod 's advice | 18:42 |
| aga | aaaa now i see pawelbial... my kernel is newer than that right? | 18:42 |
| twisted_g | draik_: nice bash script, play around with it... bash is fun | 18:42 |
| pawelbial | aga as you can see you are using newer that what is proposal to remove so you can safely remove that | 18:43 |
| aga | right :D thanks a bunch | 18:43 |
| pawelbial | np | 18:43 |
| aga | i just panicked, lately all oddities are happening to me | 18:44 |
| aga | and now... another question, my partition tables are not in order... if i put them in order, i will move swap, but i won't move root... might that mean any issue for grub and booting?? | 18:46 |
| draik_ | twisted_g: That's actually what I want :) | 18:47 |
| pawelbial | aga: in this case it might make some issue for grub and booting - if number of partiotion change ubuntu won't but | 18:49 |
| pawelbial | but it is not hard to fix | 18:49 |
| aga | problem is that /swap is on /dev/sda6 and i have another partition on /dev/sda7 | 18:50 |
| pawelbial | even in grub menu | 18:50 |
| aga | root wouldn't change tho, only those 2... and i am anything but skilled with grub | 18:50 |
| Dragnslcr | The partition order doesn't really matter | 18:50 |
| Dragnslcr | Unless you have some very specific reason to try to move partitions around, I wouldn't bother | 18:51 |
| === PolNEU is now known as PolitikerNEU | ||
| aga | it's not life or death, it's just that i know the order is not the correct and bothers me a bit... dunno like some kind of uneasiness | 18:51 |
| aga | but if this is gonna lead me to some kernel panic or weird grub errors i can very well leave it as it is | 18:51 |
| shock_day13 | complicated problem guys? | 18:53 |
| Dragnslcr | The order not being "correct" is definitely not a good enough reason to try to move them | 18:53 |
| twisted_g | how safe is it to remove packages marked as "obsolete" in aptitude. specifically, it is linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic. i have the linux-generic meta-package installed, showing 2.6.27. safe to remove? | 18:53 |
| Dragnslcr | You shouldn't ever really need to address partitions through /dev anyway | 18:53 |
| Unksi | twisted_g: should be safe to remove if the newer kernel works fine | 18:54 |
| Dragnslcr | twisted_g- you can, but it doesn't hurt anything to have it | 18:54 |
| twisted_g | Unksi: thanks | 18:54 |
| Unksi | youre welcome | 18:54 |
| twisted_g | Dragnslcr: freeing up space and trying to clean up this thing so it stops nagging me about autoremove packages (still trying to figure this out) | 18:54 |
| Dragnslcr | The kernel images don't take up much space, so that shouldn't be an issue | 18:55 |
| Unksi | twisted_g: using sudo apt-get autoremove will remove them, be careful if theres something you need, though | 18:55 |
| Dragnslcr | The autoremove nag, I don't know | 18:55 |
| Oceanwatcher | Wish there were something like this for KDE: http://www.conduit-project.org/ | 18:56 |
| twisted_g | Unksi: my problem is that kubuntu flags the arbest things for autoremoval. eg, i'll install something like k9copy, which auto installs faac (as a dependency) for example, and then afterwards, apt wants to autoremove faac | 18:57 |
| twisted_g | i just can't figure it out | 18:57 |
| Unksi | just leave it as is then :) | 18:57 |
| twisted_g | Unksi: i'm cursed with the nagging habit of needing to know why :-P | 18:58 |
| Unksi | :D | 18:58 |
| aga | tsk tsk tsk.. that is a baaaaaaaaaaaad habit twisted_g | 18:58 |
| Unksi | no idea why it would do that, i havent seen that sort of behaviour so far with autoremove | 18:58 |
| Unksi | aga: right habit as long as you dont break your system just before you really need it ;p | 18:59 |
| twisted_g | Unksi: i picked it up firstly with kde meta-packages... couldn't understand why some of my software was being removed when i installed a package.. but apt does it for more than just kde-meta packages | 18:59 |
| twisted_g | aga: its an annoying habit yet | 18:59 |
| === dR0g is now known as dROg | ||
| twisted_g | *yes | 18:59 |
| aga | Unksi: i think the times i have learnt the most is fixing what i have previously deep and properly crashed ;D | 18:59 |
| aga | hmmm not really twisted_g... is called curiosity :D | 19:00 |
| Unksi | aga: yes, but when you really need to get something done its the worst possible time for that :p | 19:00 |
| twisted_g | it kills cats no? | 19:00 |
| Unksi | twisted_g: hmm, do you have any unofficial repositories enabled? | 19:00 |
| twisted_g | Unksi: have you ever used aptitude? | 19:00 |
| twisted_g | Unksi: I needed a statistical package named R. other than that, no | 19:01 |
| Unksi | twisted_g: yes, and i have come to the conclusion that apt-get works better | 19:01 |
| Unksi | ok | 19:01 |
| aga | now i am trying to find out why links won't write download a file where i am telling it to | 19:01 |
| aga | any ideas? | 19:01 |
| Unksi | file permissions? | 19:01 |
| aga | it might be, is another partition mounted on home | 19:01 |
| aga | im checking if it will work in my desktop | 19:02 |
| aga | which it seems | 19:02 |
| Unksi | twisted_g: do you use both aptitude and apt-get? | 19:03 |
| twisted_g | been using adept_manager to date, which was autoremoving "silently". so then moved to apt-* from command line, and at least I can see what its doing (or trying to do now). i just started playing with aptitude | 19:04 |
| Unksi | ok | 19:05 |

| solid_liq | Tm_T: bot abuse? I wanted to make sure my connection wasn't lagging, which happens sometimes | 19:22 |
| Tm_T | solid_liq: you can talk to bot in private (: | 19:22 |
| solid_liq | Tm_T: I never thought about doing so | 19:23 |
| Tm_T | solid_liq: and what if bot is lagging? really, pinging the bot is not helpful (: | 19:23 |
| solid_liq | if it responds immediately, then I know I'm not lagged | 19:23 |
| solid_liq | so it is helpful | 19:23 |

| solid_liq | I've had days where my send buffer lagged by over an hour | 19:26 |

| twisted_g | whats up? | 19:40 |
| victor__ | ok | 19:40 |
| victor__ | it's a long story | 19:40 |
| aga | dunno victor__ you should state your problem first ;) | 19:40 |
| victor__ | i installed wine and then ares | 19:40 |
| victor__ | then i wanted to unistall it but the fist i did was unistall wine | 19:40 |
| victor__ | so i coulden't delete ares | 19:41 |
| twisted_g | victor__: try 'ls ~/.wine | 19:41 |
| twisted_g | victor__: try 'ls ~/.wine' | 19:41 |
| === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] | ||
| twisted_g | there should be a drive_c directory | 19:42 |
| twisted_g | search under there to see if ares was installed in there | 19:42 |
| victor__ | ares isn't installed | 19:42 |
| victor__ | but now i cant deleted the wine folder from the gnome menu | 19:42 |
| * twisted_g shrugs.. sorry, not using gnome | 19:43 | |
| aga | how did you uninstall victor__? | 19:43 |
| victor__ | sudo | 19:44 |
| aga | sudo apt-get remove wine? | 19:44 |
| tsimpson | victor__: then check /root/.wine | 19:44 |
| aga | i am having a hard time getting the big picture, to be honest | 19:45 |
| victor__ | it's /home/user/.wine | 19:45 |
| tsimpson | victor__: if you installed something in wine with sudo it'll be in roots home, which is /root | 19:46 |
| victor__ | tsimpson: /home/user/.wine | 19:46 |
| aga | let me do a recap.. so you install wine, you install ares, you uninstall wine and the problemis that wine still appears in your menu, right? | 19:46 |
| victor__ | ok lol i'm a begginer aga y'know :P | 19:46 |
| tsimpson | victor__: if not, then just remove ~/.wine | 19:46 |
| twisted_g | tsimpson: only if you're running as the user "root" | 19:46 |
| victor__ | and i wont have any problem? | 19:46 |
| aga | hmm it's not about being a beginner... it's just that i do not get the problem... but i'm after 9h of work so... | 19:46 |
| aga | if you don't want to see the wine menu, maybe you can try apt-get purge wine | 19:47 |
| twisted_g | victor__: type this 'cd ~/.wine' | 19:47 |
| twisted_g | victor__: then type ls -l | 19:47 |
| aga | that should clean all the config files i think | 19:47 |

| Unksi | hmm, do alt+f2 and write konsole and press enter | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | keisangi: try killall plasma in konsole, then alt+f2 to rerun plasma | 20:16 |

| tsimpson | "aptitude why <package>" is nice too | 20:20 |

| aga | like when you make apt-cache search firefox and appear a lot of stuff... just with an i next to the package name if it was installed | 20:20 |

| twisted_g | ActionParsnip: my point is, the query aga just made | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | twisted_g: some people just prefer one to the other, you can uninstall aptitude if you prefer apt-get | 20:25 |
| aga | twisted_g: as i said i think apt-get also does it | 20:25 |
| tsimpson | apt-get and aptitude are just frontends to dpkg | 20:25 |
| aga | i just cannot remember the way to do it with apt-get | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | apt-cache search <something> | 20:26 |
| aga | ActionParsnip: yes, but there was a way, some options on apt-get that added the (i) in the list if the package was already installed | 20:26 |
| aga | like -a or whatever, i cant remember what | 20:26 |
| aga | we found it with aptitude... but it needs to be in apt also | 20:26 |

I've added myself to the 'audio' group in /etc/group and I've even rebooted after that, and that didn't work. What would my next step be? | 20:52 |

| sylvar | boboso: scp | 20:53 |

| twisted_g | boboso: the syntax can be a bit tricky, if it gives issues, try using the -x -v etc options in the same order and place as the scp --help command suggests | 20:57 |
| twisted_g | boboso: but scp is how to transfer files over ssh... remember its slower because its encrypted though | 20:57 |

| twisted_g | ohhhh, i miss deltas even more | 21:00 |
| boboso | do i type the scp command from the box im on or the one with the file? | 21:02 |
| twisted_g | boboso: you can do either way | 21:03 |
| twisted_g | (if i remember correctly) | 21:03 |
| twisted_g | its like cp | 21:03 |
| twisted_g | you cp src/file.gz dest/my_file.gz | 21:03 |
| twisted_g | src and dest will be the hosts you want to use | 21:03 |
| twisted_g | or, src / dest could be your local box | 21:03 |
| tsimpson | you scp from the client | 21:04 |
| tsimpson | it needs the other end to be a ssh server | 21:04 |

| ActionParsnip | Bsims{fs}: do you lock the widgets after you place them? | 21:37 |
| Bsims{fs} | ActionParsnip: it won't stay in place long enough for me to do that | 21:38 |
| Bsims{fs} | I want two bloody folder views on my destktop I;'ve had it way for ages | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Bsims{fs}: keep the language PG | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Bsims{fs}: remove then re-add the widget | 21:39 |
| Bsims{fs} | ActionParsnip: sorry It now decided that I really want them to overlap the two | 21:39 |
| Bsims{fs} | ActionParsnip: I did, twice | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | not sure they can overlap. never tried. Idont use widgets as they clutter the place up | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | i'm not the best guy to ask | 21:39 |
| * Bsims{fs} screams it worked for WEEEKS | 21:40 | |
| Bsims{fs} | Surely its not that complicated, its ignoring me when I try to resize the stupid Cursed things too | 21:41 |
| Bsims{fs} | Buggerit, I am gonna kill X and restart and see if that fixes it | 21:41 |

| rgarcia | could anybody help me how do i access me mobile phone file via USB? | 22:01 |
| yoritomo | anyone experimented the nvidia driver from "nouveau project" ? #nouveau http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | 22:02 |
| rgarcia | anybode? | 22:03 |
| yoritomo | the wiki is not clear nor well organized and i could not install it | 22:03 |
| yoritomo | rgarcia, is it not reconized as a usb mass storage ? | 22:04 |
| yoritomo | does not detect as a memory card ? | 22:04 |
| rgarcia | no... | 22:05 |
| rgarcia | but the phone is charging... | 22:05 |
| rgarcia | :( | 22:05 |
| yoritomo | charging is independant from any computer connection, it is coming from power | 22:06 |
| twisted_g | rgarcia: i used a package called gprs-connect a while ago, not on kubuntu | 22:06 |
| twisted_g | you could try it, just have to install it separately | 22:06 |
| twisted_g | it worked quite well though | 22:06 |
| yoritomo | when you plug it does it appears as new device on kubuntu? | 22:06 |
| rgarcia | right..is there in repository? | 22:06 |
| rgarcia | no..nothing hapens | 22:06 |
| twisted_g | not in repos no : http://easyconnect.linuxuser.hu/ | 22:07 |
| yoritomo | strange, because even if no driver found, it should appears on connection if the phone is power on | 22:07 |
| yoritomo | same like a camera | 22:07 |
| twisted_g | depends on the phone | 22:07 |
| rgarcia | nextel pininfarina | 22:08 |
| yoritomo | are you sure about the compatibility of your cable? some models has same plugs but different wiring diagram | 22:08 |
| yoritomo | not yet a standard neither unluckily | 22:08 |
| rgarcia | yes the cable came w/ the cellphone | 22:09 |
| yoritomo | did you ever try under XP ? | 22:09 |
| rgarcia | yes win xp works | 22:10 |
| yoritomo | maybe check on the menu of the phone for external connection | 22:11 |
| yoritomo | oh ok | 22:11 |
| yoritomo | then i can't help you sorry, looks like you will need a driver | 22:11 |
| rgarcia | i will...thanx | 22:14 |
| DexterF | hi | 22:20 |
| DexterF | kdm comes up at 1600x1200@85Hz as supposed to (CRT). Once I gave login creds it goes to 1600x1200@50Hz. kcontrol: only lets me chose 50-56 Hz. when I go sysadmin mode and change the monitor type *again* it lets me chose 85 but at next restart its 50 again. hitting ctrl-alt-+ makes it enter @85 but its bloody annoying. what happens here? I messed with the Xserver but put the old xorg.conf back in place, where lese is defined at | 22:20 |
| DexterF | which Res | 22:20 |
| DexterF | and with what settings KDE comes up? | 22:20 |

| astrobear | can someone help me get java to display jars? | 22:35 |
| astrobear | i can see the windows, but there are no contents | 22:35 |
| astrobear | java -jar file.jar = blank window | 22:36 |
| astrobear | i can see the title of the window | 22:36 |
| astrobear | that's it | 22:36 |
| astrobear | i've asked in ##java and they said not to ask about applets, and so far no one has responded in #linux | 22:36 |
| astrobear | even the 1.6 jar from java.com does the same thing | 22:37 |
| astrobear | i have the latest driver from nvidia | 22:38 |
| nahaz | Can anyone say why that my usb mouse and keyboard stop working after i startx | 22:40 |
| nahaz | I just compiled a new kernel 2.6.29 and it dont work but it still works in 2.6.28.11 generic | 22:41 |
| nahaz | And where is the configuration for mouse and keyboard ? xorg.conf not handling that anymore? | 22:43 |
| nahaz | 328 user and noone have a clue? Better turn to a debian channel | 22:44 |
| tsimpson | nahaz: if you're using a custom kernel, try asking in ##linux | 22:44 |
| tsimpson | we can't possibly support your custom kernels | 22:45 |
| nahaz | ya but I wonder what file is handling the mouse now? | 22:45 |
| tsimpson | no file, Xorg dynamically detects it at runtime | 22:46 |
| tsimpson | as long as the kernel sees it | 22:46 |
| nahaz | The keybord works in tty | 22:47 |
| nahaz | and I can use the mouse 2-3 sek before kde4 boot is finished | 22:48 |
| nahaz | And a dmesg shows that I have mouse and keyboard | 22:48 |
| tsimpson | then it's some issue with X, try looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:49 |
| nahaz | Yes but original there is no configuration for nither mouse or keyboard in x | 22:50 |
| nahaz | xorg.conf | 22:50 |
| tsimpson | if the only change is the kernel, then it's some interaction with Xorg and the kernel | 22:51 |
| nahaz | My xorg.conf only hold the configuration for nvidia | 22:51 |
| nahaz | But I have my suspission that hal take care of the usb and keyboard | 22:53 |
| tsimpson | hal is just an abstraction layer | 22:53 |
| === compilerwriter_ is now known as compilerwriter | ||
| tsimpson | on top of the kernel, and it's still up to Xorg to look for and use the device properly | 22:54 |
| nahaz | Ok but were do you configure mouse and keyboard | 22:54 |
| tsimpson | same place as always afaik | 22:54 |
| tsimpson | xorg.conf | 22:54 |
| nahaz | How can my mouse and keybord work when there is no input device for mouse ? | 22:55 |
| tsimpson | -> Xorg dynamically detects it at runtime | 22:55 |
| tsimpson | xorg.conf is used for things X can not detect or custom options | 22:56 |
| nahaz | ok thanks | 22:57 |
| nahaz | try to change the xorg.conf then | 22:57 |
