tsimpson | ah, yeah | 00:00 |
---|---|---|
tsimpson | I meant libgl1-mesa | 00:00 |
Zirg | tsimpson, what would happen if i burned the .ISO and tried to upgrade, via that? I mean, I don't want to tie you up, for all this time. | 00:00 |
tsimpson | Zirg: you can't upgrade from booting, only install | 00:00 |
Zirg | crap. looks like i'm gonna end up rsync'ing ~/ and reinstalling. | 00:01 |
tsimpson | Zirg: may be quicker | 00:02 |
ActionParsnip1 | Zirg: is home on a seperate partition? | 00:02 |
Zirg | ActionParsnip1, oh hades, no. | 00:02 |
ActionParsnip1 | Zirg: bah, that'd make life way easier | 00:02 |
Zirg | ActionParsnip1, if it was, i wouldn't give an aerial intercourse. | 00:03 |
ActionParsnip1 | indeed | 00:03 |
Zirg | well, i guess i may as well unplug this thing and take it to the shop. (heavy sigh) | 00:03 |
tsimpson | the only way to work through issues like that is to try installing each non-installable package one-by-one until you either, get the real reason why it's failing, or fix it | 00:03 |
ActionParsnip1 | Zirg: i'd suggest you implement it in the clean install | 00:03 |
Zirg | ActionParsnip1, yup. and i'm gonna use 8.04 KDE 3.x vice 8.10 KDE 4.(breakage) | 00:04 |
Zirg | tsimpson, Thank You Very MUCH for the assist and thoughts! | 00:04 |
Zirg | It IS appreciated. | 00:04 |

ActionParsnip1 | ralema56: try renaming ~/.purple and rerunning the app, you will need to readd your accounts but this will allow you to test. You can rename back after the test | 00:08 |

tsimpson | tjb: start from KMenu -> System -> Hardware Drivers | 00:25 |
mprice | !hello | Fanfare | 00:25 |
ubottu | Fanfare: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 00:25 |
tjb | tsimpson: it says nvidia_new not in use but with a x in the middle | 00:31 |
draik_ | !user | 00:32 |
ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 00:32 |
draik_ | I messed up my /etc/sudoers file. Is there a way to undo the damage? | 00:32 |
tsimpson | tjb: I guess you should try activating it | 00:33 |
ActionParsnip1 | draik_: i can send you mine | 00:34 |
ActionParsnip1 | draik_: you can then boot to recovery root console and overwrite the bad file | 00:34 |
tsimpson | draik_: there is an example in /usr/share/doc/sudo/examples/sudoers | 00:34 |
tsimpson | just add the line "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" at the end of that | 00:35 |
draik_ | ActionParsnip1: I can't 'sudo" so I'm screwed with any changes | 00:35 |
draik_ | I'll try recovery mode | 00:35 |
ActionParsnip1 | draik_: http://pastebin.com/f503492a7 | 00:35 |
ActionParsnip1 | draik_: if you boot to recovery root console you will be root, so wont need to sudo | 00:35 |
draik_ | tsimpson: I entered an incorrect syntax. | 00:35 |
tsimpson | draik_: that's why you should use sudoedit | 00:36 |
draik_ | tsimpson: I've never heard of sudoedit. | 00:36 |
draik_ | !sudoedit | 00:36 |
ubottu | To edit files with !superuser access using the user's standard editor (as set in the EDITOR !shell variable) and its normal configuration, the command « sudoedit <filename> » is available. It creates a local copy of the file, and runs the editor with the user's permissions. | 00:36 |
tsimpson | or is it visudo | 00:36 |
draik_ | Sweet | 00:36 |
tsimpson | !visudo | 00:36 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about visudo | 00:36 |
draik_ | Thanks tsimpson. I'll keep that in mind. | 00:37 |
tsimpson | no, it's visudo | 00:37 |
tsimpson | visudo - edit the sudoers file | 00:37 |
tsimpson | if you use that, it'll tell you that it's bad syntax and refuse to save | 00:38 |

Husaini | oh god | 01:05 |
kalel | but i don't see bar | 01:05 |
KDesk | kelel, hmm, that is bad to not have a option to at the default panel. | 01:06 |
KDesk | kalel you have to add ~6 different plasmoids | 01:06 |
kalel | i try to send you my desktop | 01:07 |
KDesk | kalel do you know who to add a panel or plasmoids? | 01:07 |
kalel | i don't know :( | 01:07 |
kalel | i want reset bar | 01:08 |
kalel | the bar like windows bar for example | 01:08 |
KDesk | kalel ok :) right click any where in the desktop in one empty place | 01:08 |
KDesk | and select in the menu Add panel. | 01:08 |
KDesk | Kalel, you have to add first a panel to add widgets there, or add the widgets in the desktop/dashboard | 01:09 |
KDesk | kalel: I dont know how to reset the bar to the defaults. But It is not difficult to add a new one. | 01:10 |
kalel | ok i try | 01:10 |
KDesk | right click any where in the desktop in one empty area | 01:10 |
kalel | ok, i think that my bar is invisible of my screen | 01:10 |
kalel | i add a panel | 01:12 |
kalel | panel is alt | 01:12 |
ubuntu | m | 01:12 |
=== ubuntu is now known as Leemp | ||
kalel | i want panel in bottom | 01:13 |
KDesk | kalel what do you mean with panel is alt? | 01:13 |
KDesk | at the top of the screen? | 01:13 |
Leemp | Question: I just installed Kubuntu, and realized i need to make a change to my partitions. Now, for the life of me i cannot find the KDE version of "GParted". Can anyone point me in the right direction? | 01:14 |
kalel | yes at the top | 01:14 |
KDesk | leemp you can install gparted without problems | 01:14 |
Fanfare | Leemp: qtparted | 01:14 |
kalel | Kdesk at the top of thee screen | 01:15 |
Leemp | Fanfare: Well thats what i thought, but _where_ is it? I found it from searching, but i cannot locate it on the kubuntu livecd | 01:15 |
KDesk | leemp but if you want to change something in a root partition, it has to be unmounted | 01:15 |
Fanfare | Leemp: on live CD usee gparted | 01:15 |
KDesk | kalel: ok, do you see the yellow thing at the right of the panel? | 01:15 |
Leemp | Fanfare: Ok.. _where_ is that? | 01:16 |
kalel | yes | 01:16 |
Leemp | Fanfare: I've been scanning the kde menus, and i see nothing of help heh | 01:16 |
kalel | kdesk yes | 01:16 |
Fanfare | Leemp: did u try in konsole? | 01:16 |
KDesk | Leemp: you can also download a live cd of system rescue, because qtparted is very old and has manu known bugs. But I remember there is also a new one. | 01:16 |
Leemp | KDesk: So KDE doesn't have its own? That surprises me | 01:17 |
kalel | kdesk now my bar is bottom | 01:17 |
KDesk | kalel: click it and then click (but dont release) on the button that says Screen edge | 01:17 |
Leemp | Fanfare: Well no, but thats sort of not the point :o. I'm trying KDE because of the environment, not the console. I like consoles just as much as the next guy, but my decision for KDE over Gnome is not based on using the console. :) | 01:18 |
KDesk | kalel: ah, ok :) now add the widgets/plasmoids that you want | 01:18 |
Leemp | Fanfare: So, with your answer, i'm going to assume the Kubuntu livecd has no partition tools? | 01:18 |
kalel | what plasmoids? | 01:18 |
KDesk | Leemp: the livecd has the installer with the partition manager, but you can also install gparted. | 01:19 |
KDesk | kalal for the K menu the Application lanucher | 01:19 |
Fanfare | Anyway u cant repartition a running system partition... | 01:20 |
KDesk | Leemp: there is one program named partitionmanager for kde | 01:20 |
kalel | kdesk i notice in top left, if i clik i see windows open | 01:20 |
Leemp | And while im here, any one got any words of warning for setting up dual monitors on KDE? Any "DONT USE X PROGRAM" warnings? | 01:20 |
KDesk | Leemp: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDE+Partition+Manager?content=89595 | 01:20 |
KDesk | kalel that is I think a effect/plugin of kwin, the kde windows manager | 01:21 |
Fanfare | Leemp: on some appt (fullscreengames) u need to run them in window mode | 01:21 |
Leemp | Fanfare: K thanks for the tip | 01:21 |
kalel | and why in top left of the screen? | 01:22 |
Fanfare | Leemp: î set those apps to the desired resolution with no KDE Borders... | 01:22 |
draik_ | What is the difference between 'top' and 'htop'? | 01:22 |
Leemp | On a side note, is the upgrade from Kubuntu 8.10's KDE 4.1 to the latest KDE a smooth upgrade? | 01:23 |
draik_ | Leemp: IIRC, it was almost seamless | 01:24 |
Leemp | draik_: nice | 01:25 |
kalel | kdesk i select digital clock but not show | 01:25 |
Fanfare | Leemp: yeah, upgrade is ok | 01:25 |

KDesk | kalel, you can drag and drop the plasmoid to the panel | 01:26 |
KDesk | kalel: or click on "Add Widget" In the botton of the plasmoids windows | 01:27 |
Leemp | Question: If i wanted to make a user level storage partition, how would i do that? By user level i mean, so programs do not have to have root to modify files in the storage area. | 01:27 |
kalel | when i move system tray on right, it return in center :'( | 01:27 |
Raptor-Jesus | when does kde 4.2 come out? | 01:28 |
Leemp | Basically, i am going to be formatting soon with 9.04, but i only want to format by /home settings, not my /home files, so i am making a 2nd /storage partition | 01:28 |
KDesk | Raptor-Jesus: Jan 2009, in -3 monts jeje. | 01:29 |
Leemp | KDesk: :o | 01:29 |
KDesk | Raptor-Jesus: KDE 4.3 in 3 monts more or less | 01:29 |
Raptor-Jesus | kde 4.2 not 3 | 01:30 |
Leemp | Raptor-Jesus: He answered you. :P | 01:30 |
KDesk | kalel add more plasmoids and then order the plasmoids | 01:30 |
kalel | kdesk when i move plasmoids system try on right he returned on center | 01:31 |
KDesk | Raptor-Jesus: KDE 4.2 came in Jan of 2009, 4.3 WILL come in +3mounts or 2 | 01:31 |
KDesk | kalal hmm, maybe tray to remove the system tray and add it at the end. | 01:32 |
Leemp | Is the root folder "/storage" used for anything in linux? Or is it free for me to use | 01:34 |
Fanfare | Leemp: not that i know of... | 01:35 |
Fanfare | Leemp: why not mount to /media/XYZ? | 01:35 |
KDesk | Leemp: normaly users mount stuff in /media or ~/ | 01:35 |
KDesk | :) | 01:36 |
skarn | does a package exist for amarok 2.1 beta? | 01:36 |
Fanfare | skarn: yeas in a sep repo. | 01:36 |
KDesk | skarn: Ah, I didn;t knew that it was out! :-) | 01:36 |
Leemp | KDesk: Well i'd like to keep my home drive formatable, but i spose i could mount to /media. I'm obviously new to linux. Trying to work this out :o | 01:36 |
skarn | Fanfare: I supposed so, but can't find it | 01:37 |
Fanfare | ## Amarok 2 | 01:37 |
Fanfare | ## wget -q "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9423A34CCA967634" -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 01:37 |
Fanfare | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid main | 01:37 |
KDesk | Leemp: There is no problem with mounting in /storage or /media or /media/storage ot ~/ If you format your home you will not loose the mont partition in home. It is like the /boot partition. I formant sometimes my root, but the /boot partition is intact | 01:38 |
Fanfare | skarn: sry, that is 201 right now | 01:38 |
skarn | ok, I had been browsing that repo not more than 2 minutes ago | 01:39 |
Fanfare | skarn: but i think amarok 2.1 will land there soon | 01:39 |
skarn | I sure hope so, thanks | 01:39 |
Leemp | KDesk: K thanks. So it would be ~/mymount _not_ ~/ correct? Or does linux allow you to "blend" mounts, so you can have your home and your storage mount both share the same. ... space. I'm confused now. | 01:39 |
Leemp | KDesk: I was just going to make some smybolic links inside of /home/me/sym1 sym2 sym3 etc, anyway | 01:40 |
KDesk | You can put them any wehere. Or/and use symbolic links | 01:41 |
Fanfare | skarn: but ur right, 2.0.2 from march didnt land there either... | 01:41 |
KDesk | Leemp: But NOT mount something two or more times, but I will probably not happend. | 01:42 |
Leemp | KDesk: by that you mean, dont use "~/" :o | 01:42 |
skarn | Fanfare: I'm using jaunty beta, and here amarok 2.0.2 is the default... | 01:43 |
KDesk | Leemp: did I say that? Oh, no. You can use ~/ if you want | 01:43 |
Leemp | KDesk: I dunno, i'm just trying to get this :o | 01:43 |
skarn | but id didn't eve come out for intrepid, strange indeed | 01:43 |
Fanfare | skarn: so no more intrepid packages? :-( well see | 01:44 |
KDesk | Leemp: ah, I say ot, that was a 'or' hehe. Maybe removable storage like usb mems in /media/ (automatcly) and fixed storage in ~/ | 01:44 |
Leemp | KDesk: So.. is ~/storage a valid mount point? Ie, litterally, typing "~/storage" would work? I just wanna make sure it knows ~ is /home/someuser | 01:45 |
Leemp | at this early stage heh | 01:45 |
Fanfare | IIRC ubuntu install places fixed 2nd disk also in /media/XYz | 01:46 |
KDesk | Leemp: yes it works, In ~/storage or /home/someuser/storage. | 01:46 |
KDesk | Fanfare: ah, yes, you are right. | 01:47 |
Leemp | Fanfare: Well my 2nd disk is going to have /home and some type of storage partition. /home is my home obviously, but given that it has settings, i want to be able to format that with no real data loss. my storage partition is the really important one | 01:47 |
amelie | hi | 01:47 |
amelie | I want to know how do I get the widget for hard drive monitor | 01:47 |
amelie | I used to have it, but i had a problem with my system and have to reinstall | 01:48 |
amelie | and now i'm not able to get it again | 01:48 |
KDesk | Leemp: but all the user settings are in ~/. folders, I mean, hidden folders, which are for example .kde or .config... | 01:48 |
Leemp | Fanfare: So what were to happen if i made the 1st partition /home, but the 2nd partition ~/ ? | 01:48 |
amelie | ? | 01:48 |
Leemp | KDesk: Yea | 01:48 |
Fanfare | then i suggest to mount it somewheere an use Symlinks for Documents /Pictures, etc (?) | 01:48 |
Fanfare | Leemp: doenst matter in Linux... | 01:49 |
Fanfare | as long as bootmgr is in mbr... | 01:49 |
Leemp | Fanfare: 2 partitions having the same mount points doesn't matter? | 01:49 |
Leemp | Fanfare: How does it decide which point it uses | 01:49 |
Leemp | erm | 01:49 |
Fanfare | Leemp: sry did get that wrong... | 01:50 |
Leemp | say if i put a file into my home, what partition does it go on? | 01:50 |
Leemp | ah | 01:50 |
Fanfare | hda1 /home, hda2 / doesnt matter | 01:50 |
Leemp | so partition 1 being /home and partition 2 being ~/storage is fine, correct? | 01:51 |
Leemp | actually i'd make it .storage, just to hide it, since i'll symlink everything into ~/ | 01:51 |
ActionParsnip | !trash | 01:52 |
ubottu | The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 01:52 |
Fanfare | Leemp: and root (/) somwhere else... yes | 01:52 |
Leemp | Fanfare: Yea, those 2 are on my 2nd hardrive. My 1st has /dos and / | 01:52 |
Leemp | Man it annoys me that windows can't even handle being on the 2nd partition. :o | 01:53 |
Fanfare | u can mount inside a mounted filehirarchie | 01:53 |
Leemp | Fanfare: pardon? | 01:53 |
Fanfare | wait | 01:54 |
Leemp | Fanfare: ? | 01:55 |
Fanfare | http://rafb.net/p/YwsZN618.html | 01:56 |
Fanfare | if hdb2 is mounted it writes files on that device... | 01:56 |
Fanfare | if hdb2 is NOT mounted it writes in the directory on hdb1 ! | 01:57 |
Leemp | hdb2 being..? hard drive #2? | 01:59 |
Leemp | Fanfare: But thats only a problem if i removed my 2nd hd right? | 02:00 |
Fanfare | hda driva 1 hdb drive 2 etc | 02:00 |
Fanfare | hda1, hda2, hdaX Partitions on drive 1 | 02:01 |
Leemp | ohh, hard drive a, hard drive b, partition 1, partition 2, k. :o | 02:01 |
Fanfare | if u have /home and ssorage on hdb (2nd drive) u shouldnt remove it :-) | 02:01 |
Leemp | Fanfare: I dont plan to :o | 02:01 |
Fanfare | Leemp: yeah | 02:02 |
Leemp | Fanfare: But really, it has the important info anyway | 02:02 |
ziroday | Hi, is there a way to rebind krunner to a different shortcut key, and amarok can't find my daap shares :( | 02:02 |
Leemp | Fanfare: /home/storage being the important bit | 02:02 |
Fanfare | Leemp: use /home/<user>/storage | 02:03 |
Leemp | Fanfare: So is it possible to install to ~/.storage? The best i could do was "/~/.storage" | 02:03 |
Leemp | Not sure if it will work though | 02:03 |
Fanfare | Leemp: install to? u mean mount to ~/.storage? | 02:04 |
Leemp | Fanfare: Well, im defining the mount point when formatting it all, so im not sure if thats different than being in ubuntu and just mounting something via cmd line | 02:05 |
Fanfare | ok, i suggest not using tilde (~) | 02:07 |
Leemp | Fanfare: So you do need to bind it to a single user | 02:07 |
Fanfare | replace it with /home/<your username> | 02:07 |
Fanfare | Leemp: if u want to mount it inside ur homedir... | 02:07 |
Fanfare | otherwise mount it inside /media and use symlinks from your homedir | 02:08 |
Leemp | k | 02:08 |
Leemp | Thanks for the help :) | 02:08 |

kingjere | Leemp: can it? | 02:21 |
Leemp | kingjere: No idea | 02:21 |

BigTexInBigD | lol | 02:43 |
BigTexInBigD | I am a newbie so I don't know anybetter | 02:44 |
BigTexInBigD | :-) | 02:44 |
wirechief | well you use a different method than i | 02:44 |
BigTexInBigD | so... how do i un-F this this? | 02:45 |
wirechief | so you had openoffice 2.0 ? | 02:45 |
BigTexInBigD | yes... part of 8.04.2 | 02:45 |
BigTexInBigD | 2.4 I think | 02:45 |
wirechief | hmm well maybe you still have it. | 02:45 |
BigTexInBigD | no longer in start menu (I am not that comfortable with command lin yet) | 02:46 |
Neon_ | hey guys, I'm dual booting but everytime I access my windows partition i have to submit my root password. Anyone have a solution for this? | 02:46 |
wirechief | i would look in /var/cache/apt/archives for openoffice.deb's | 02:46 |
BigTexInBigD | ok...looking now | 02:46 |
wirechief | you might have both 3 and 2 if so you could then just uninstall 3 | 02:46 |
wirechief | and use 2 | 02:47 |
wirechief | but i dont know why you got a problem when you used the synaptic | 02:48 |
BigTexInBigD | using Dolphin I can see I have a BUNCH of OO files | 02:48 |
wirechief | .deb files ? | 02:48 |
BigTexInBigD | does dolphin have a search fucntion? | 02:49 |
BigTexInBigD | nm | 02:49 |
wirechief | well i use konqueror for my desktop and stuff | 02:50 |
wirechief | not really familar with dolphin | 02:50 |
BigTexInBigD | openoffice.deb is not there | 02:50 |
BigTexInBigD | let me look via Konqueror | 02:51 |
kingjere | BigTexInBigD: either CTRL+F or Tools > Find | 02:51 |
wirechief | you can do this dpkg -l |grep openoffice and that will show whats installed if it has a ii on it | 02:51 |
BigTexInBigD | I do this at Konsole correct? | 02:52 |
wirechief | yes | 02:52 |

wirechief | let me check my menu | 02:56 |
BigTexInBigD | if I remove the intrepid source that I added for Adept and try again would that work? | 02:56 |
wirechief | yes what im seeing on mine is 3 , yours must be 2 | 02:57 |
BigTexInBigD | ok.... how do I fix this? | 02:57 |
