| ActionParsnip1 | jaggz: you should have MD5d before burning, saves wasted CDs | 14:05 |
|---|---|---|
| ActionParsnip1 | jaggz: if the burn completed, you can then boot to it and run the disk verifier on the first sceen | 14:05 |
| jaggz | it's different than that which is listed here..that's weird | 14:06 |
| lokai | then the download messed up ;) | 14:06 |
| jaggz | action, apparently I should! | 14:06 |
| jaggz | $ md5sum - < kubuntu-9.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso 53dbbc96a39ff647a2d925e5b35b510f 686140271 2009-04-14 02:56 kubuntu-9.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso | 14:06 |
| jaggz | I ran it in virtualbox too, and it completely locked up X .. had to kill virtualbox with a -9 from a text console | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | yep looks like a garbaged file to me | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip1 | redownload | 14:07 |
| jaggz | yeah.. site says: 4ec82b1ac846ab0823cfee02b581f959 *kubuntu-9.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip1 | another way to check is to paste the genrated md5 in a websearch and ou should get results if its correct as they will match what people have put in forums and such ;) | 14:09 |
| jaggz | can't see the size on the site though.. how would I do a HEAD request with, say, wget? | 14:09 |
| jaggz | action, that's interesting :) | 14:09 |
| jaggz | Content-Length: 720046080 | 14:11 |
| jaggz | looks like I didn't get the full thing.. | 14:11 |
| jaggz | wget -c time :) | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip1 | looks like a bad'un. Torrents hep with successful downloads due to the torrent protocol | 14:12 |
| jaggz | the thing is, I have a feeling normal error correction would prevent actual corruption of the file | 14:13 |
| jaggz | early termination is another issue | 14:14 |
| jaggz | so this wget with an md5 test afterwards will confirm | 14:14 |
| === b2809d is now known as Riesh | ||
| jaggz | but the cd itself is dead, definitely :) | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | thats what md5 is for | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | well its not a dead cup coaster | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip1 | or frisbe | 14:15 |
| jaggz | yessir... haven't needed it in a long time.. now I know to bother each time. :) | 14:15 |

| jaggz | 4ec82b1ac846ab0823cfee02b581f959 | 14:16 |

| RizR | can't get kde to work. using ATI card with open source driver on kubuntu. Used gnome's utility to setup dual-head previously. kde's system->system settigns->display doesn't give any appropriate settings. | 14:21 |
| RizR | any ideas? | 14:21 |
| RizR | xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/m2be2f4e2 | 14:21 |
| jaggz | is that kde related? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | RizR: all i can personally suggest is th !dualhead factoid which i'm guessing you have read | 14:22 |
| jaggz | ah | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | !dualhead | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 14:23 |

| RizR | ActionParsnip1, I'm puzzled 'cuz it's working fine on gnome :-) | 14:23 |
| jaggz | rizr, can you get it to work at all with a single display? | 14:23 |
| RizR | jaggz, it's working fine with single. with two monitors it just clones the display. | 14:23 |

| gaokai | OH, I just installed the kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu. then I restart my laptop,when shutting down and logging in,the logos has already changed into KUBUNTU,but at last in still enters in GNOME,why? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip1 | RizR: ive seen this kind of issue said before but i dont use dual monitors, hell i only have 1 monitor for 3 systems | 14:25 |
| RizR | ActionParsnip1, do you use some home grown SplitDisplay X-extension that displays screen from all systems on one monitor? ;-) | 14:26 |
| RizR | thanks anyway | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | RizR: nope, ssh and some web interfaces | 14:27 |
| gaokai | and I use /etc/gdm stop ,then /etc/kdm start .But it says "the kdm is already running".why? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gaokai: its default in kubuntu | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gaokai: unless you have installed gdm it wont be there | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip1 | and certainly wont be running unless you switched from kdm to gdm | 14:28 |
| gaokai | oh, the current desktop is gnome,I want to run KDE now | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gaokai: you can boot into kde with gdm | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gaokai: just change your default session to kde and you will lo into it each time | 14:32 |
| gaokai | <ActionParsnip1>:really?how to do that? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gaokai: like i said, on the login screen, look around and you will see where to change the session type | 14:33 |
| gaokai | <ActionParsnip1>thank you,Let me try | 14:35 |
| RizR | ActionParsnip1, xrandr does the trick. | 14:37 |
| RizR | xrandr --output <secondary-output> --off | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | nice one | 14:38 |
| RizR | xrandr --output <secondary> --right-of <primary> | 14:38 |
| RizR | any idea how does gnome handle this? if it uses xrandr as well then it's all good. I just put this in a script in Xsession.d | 14:39 |
| RizR | otherwise will have to find a way so my existing setup doesn't get screwed | 14:39 |

| lorecaster | spiroo... numlock is a bios thing for your first question | 18:12 |
| lorecaster | you can fix that in your BIOS settings | 18:12 |

Especially anything in /home/username/.kde directory. If not owned by them to chown the bad ones | 19:39 |

| landon_ | I just want to know how to install | 19:50 |
| genii | jackcy_: Did the upgrade include a kernel upgrade? If previously you were using nvidia or ati proprietary drivers for instance, this also could explain | 19:51 |
| lun4tic | which version of kubuntu do you use, which card do you have, have you allready corrupted the system with failed trys? | 19:51 |

| landon_ | I have it installed in the 3rd party im wanting to enable the 3d | 19:53 |

| jackcy_ | genii: nvidia-180 drivers were activated for sure. I'll use a backup of my xorg.conf then. But I'm wondering why I get the login screen - this should fail if the driver cannot be loaded. Reporting back in a few minutes. | 19:56 |

| whilo | hi i am testing jaunty and i have had bad experiences with kde 4 and ram usage | 22:52 |
| whilo | i have written a blog entry about it (actually another one which also mentioned this problem) here: http://whilos.blogsite.org/?p=102 | 22:53 |
| whilo | now people keep claiming that the high ram usage is a problem with kubuntu and i should change the distribution | 22:53 |
| whilo | what is your position about it? | 22:53 |
| whilo | i like debian very much, but lenny comes with 3.5.10 (for good reasons) so i'd think about using kubuntu for my home-on-nfs clients here | 22:54 |
| whilo | otherwise i could wait until 4.2.2 enters testing | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | whilo: i use kde apps but not kde itself, i always istall a lighter WM onto my system and use that in my session | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | whilo: ive noticed kde using a lot of ram as well which is why i dislike the desktop, as well as me not using widgets and all that graphical muck so its a waste to me | 22:56 |
| gigasoft | does anybody know shortcuts for switching between virtual desktops | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | whilo: if i boot kde 4.2.2 and amarok 2 I have about 30Mb left in my 1Gb RAM system which i find scandelous | 22:57 |
| gigasoft | in kubuntu | 22:57 |
| gigasoft | ? | 22:57 |
| whilo | ActionParsnip: ok, but i generally think that much of this stuff is not bad as long as the relation of ram usage and the functionality is not that bad | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gigasoft: system settings -> keyboard and mose settings | 22:58 |
| whilo | it would be ok to give 300mb for a default desktop with semantic capabilities and effects running kopete and amarok in the tray and maybe up to 500 with some apps open... | 22:58 |
| gigasoft | thanks | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | gigasoft: global shortcuts -> kwin | 22:58 |
| gigasoft | ActionParsnip: | 22:59 |
| gigasoft | :) | 22:59 |
| gigasoft | thanks again | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | whilo: sounds ok, depends if yur system runs as you'd like | 22:59 |
| whilo | i generally like the idea of developping the whole DE in one project where features can be shared | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | gigasoft: np man, you have to set one | 22:59 |
| whilo | ActionParsnip: no it doesn't | 22:59 |
| whilo | i have ridiculously high memory usage | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | whilo: its not set here and i've never set one, so i called it as needing to be set | 23:00 |
| winston_ | hello all | 23:00 |

| ActionParsnip | jason_froebe: how does one DE surpass another? | 23:06 |
| genii | Every different DE has it's advantages or disadvantages. It's like the !best factoid | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | my point exactly | 23:08 |
| jason_froebe | personally I think they leap frog over each other - borrowing ideas (good thing) | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | i think its a simple co-existance | 23:09 |
| jason_froebe | perhaps.. though not in isolation ;-) | 23:09 |
| genii | What desktop environment people prefer depends on how they like to work, what they use the computer for, what sort of visual metaphors and workflow patterns, etc etc | 23:09 |
| jason_froebe | 'tis a personal preference like genii says | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed, so neither will surpass either | 23:10 |
| jason_froebe | I disagree.. this week desktop X will surpass desktop Y for feature ABC .. next week it will be desktop Z | 23:11 |
| jason_froebe | ;-) | 23:11 |
| jason_froebe | tongue firmly in cheek btw | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jason_froebe: what about if i dont use feature ABC | 23:12 |
| jason_froebe | then it will be desktop Q ;-) | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | i use kde out of habit as its what ive used for the last howmany years | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kde + lxde = gold | 23:13 |
| genii | I'm finding the kde3->kde4 transition painful atm. I'm actually running now the kde3 jaunty version | 23:14 |
| |PaperTiger| | Is there a way to change what each jack at the back of my computer does? Or do I have the have the mic and headset in the right holes? Like in Windows, you can change what each jack does when you plug something in. Does Kubuntu 8.10 have something like that? | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | |PaperTiger|: i think thats a windows driver thing | 23:15 |
| |PaperTiger| | ActionParsnip, it's the RealTek thing. Is there anything like that in Kubuntu? | 23:16 |
| genii | Well, it depends on your soundcard driver... you can put driver options for instance in the /etc/modules or in modprobe | 23:16 |
| genii | But the driver has to have these options in it | 23:16 |
| |PaperTiger| | Ah, okay | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | |PaperTiger|: not sure, tbh, once you connect the speakers you can forget about them | 23:18 |
| |PaperTiger| | ActionParsnip, speakers are connected fine, but it's my headset I'm wondering about. | 23:19 |
| |PaperTiger| | ActionParsnip, found a solution... Speakers have headset and mic output on them :) | 23:20 |
| Naalul | in which channel can I get help setting up dmz with firewall? | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sweet, simple solution | 23:20 |
| |PaperTiger| | Sorted. Just need to plug the headset in when I NEED it, 'cos it turns the speaker output off, lol | 23:22 |
| |PaperTiger| | And I found a way to sort that already... Put the jack in slightly and it comes though both XD WOOP | 23:23 |
| |PaperTiger| | Next thing... How do I test the mic input? | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | why would you want it from both? | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | could use sound-recorder | 23:24 |
| |PaperTiger| | True. Good point & where is sound recorder? | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | theres | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !info gnome-sound-recorder | 23:28 |
| ubottu | Package gnome-sound-recorder does not exist in intrepid | 23:28 |
| |PaperTiger| | lol | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !find record | 23:28 |
| |PaperTiger| | That's out the question | 23:28 |

| Barridus | hi, anyone have any tips for gnome removal? such as any package "keystones" that can be removed and cause a nice near-clean removal with a follow-up apt-get autoremove? | 23:39 |
| alid | I need to ssh to a remote server without a password prompt. I set up RSA keys, cated that at the end of the list of authorized_keys on .ssh directory on the server, still it doesn't work. Here is the debugging info I get when I try to connect to the server: http://pastie.org/446670 Can anybody help me please? | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !purekde | Barridus | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Barridus: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 23:41 |
| tsimpson | alid: use ssh-copy-id to copy the public-key over | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Barridus: fyi, gnome has a tonne of gnome deps if you use the repo version | 23:42 |
| alid | tsimpson: Do I need to remove the authorized_keys file from the server side first? | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | sorry, firefox | 23:42 |
| tsimpson | alid: you can, but it shouldn't make a difference | 23:42 |
| Kasm279 | ah, another problem | 23:42 |
| Barridus | ok thank you ActionParsnip. brb :) | 23:42 |
| Kasm279 | i installed the synaptics touchpad driver, but i cant find it in apps or in the system settings :/ | 23:44 |
| alid | tsimpson: It still asks me for password :( | 23:45 |
| Kasm279 | wat does? | 23:45 |
| Kasm279 | alid? | 23:45 |
| alid | Kasm279: SSH | 23:46 |
| Kasm279 | wat? | 23:46 |
| tsimpson | it could be an issue with the ssh server then | 23:46 |
| Kasm279 | as in be quiet? | 23:46 |
| Kasm279 | oh | 23:46 |
| Kasm279 | oops | 23:46 |
| alid | Kasm279: I am trying to force ssh not to ask for password whenever I'm to connect to a remote server. | 23:46 |
| tsimpson | alid: see if you can use ssh-copy-id to install the key on localhost, and see if "ssh localhost" asks for a password | 23:46 |
| Kasm279 | ah | 23:47 |
| tsimpson | if it doesn't, then you know it's the remote server that has the issue | 23:47 |
| Kasm279 | anyway, | 23:47 |
| Kasm279 | i installed the synaptics touchpad driver, but i cant find it in apps or in the system settings :/ | 23:47 |
| alid | tsimpson: I did it and localhost didn't ask for password. | 23:49 |
| tsimpson | then it's some configuration issue on the remote side | 23:49 |
| alid | tsimpson: I know the remote machine is SunOS. Could it be the source of problem? | 23:50 |
| Kasm279 | and also, where is the background image stored? | 23:50 |
| Cyclist2 | Hello, there! can someone tell me how to apply 'Eye of GNOME' [also known simply as 'Image Viewer' in Gnome] to become my default Image Viewer [F-Spot Photo Viewer seems to be the default one and I cannot find 'Eye of GNOME' anywhere in the options menu]? I run Krusader on Gnome | 23:51 |
| tsimpson | alid: I don't know, but I would think it should work. you'd need to contact the administrator or the server and ask them | 23:51 |
| alid | Alright. Thank you tsimpson :) | 23:52 |
| Kasm279 | Cyclist2: eye of gnome is located in root/usr/bin | 23:52 |
| tsimpson | Kasm279: user wallpapers are normally in ~/.kde/share/wallpapers/ | 23:52 |
| Kasm279 | .kde? | 23:53 |
| Kasm279 | tsimpson? | 23:53 |
| Kasm279 | does that mean root? | 23:54 |
| tsimpson | no | 23:54 |
| Kasm279 | so .kde is in root? | 23:54 |
| jamesjedimaster | under your home directory | 23:54 |
| tsimpson | no ~/ == $HOME | 23:54 |
| Kasm279 | oh | 23:54 |
| tsimpson | system wallpapers are in /usr/share/wallpapers though | 23:55 |
| Kasm279 | ok, thats wat i was looking for | 23:55 |
| Kasm279 | woah, kubuntu's wallpapers are much more complex than ubuntu's | 23:56 |

| Kasm279 | wat, ActionParsnip? | 23:58 |
| blip- | if a package is in the unsupported section of my distros repos, after a while it moved to main. During that time do packagers potentially make fixes to the deb package ? If I update now to an unsupported package, lets see they make a change once it reaches main, will I then be able to get that "new" package to update my unsupported version. KDE4.2 is the concerned package | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Kasm279: the root account is disabled by default in ubuntu for security reasons | 23:58 |
| Cyclist2 | Kasm279, I can use it normally but I would prefer to have it as the default program to handle images; the problem is in that when I open the Open With Menu 'Eye of GNOME' is nowhere to be seen...; if I knew what to type in the empty box [top of menu] that should do it but I tried typing 'Eye of GNOME' and 'Image Viewer' and neither of those names is recognized by Krusader as the right name for the program... | 23:59 |
