| jake__ | Hello | 00:36 |
| jake__ | I have a question about kde4 if anyone can help | 00:37 |
| maestre | edit | 00:37 |
| jake__ | kde4 is not very configurable...am I missing something or is that how it is...or is there a way to add items to a right click | 00:38 |
| LiGHTRokHE | o.0? | 00:38 |
| LiGHTRokHE | is like, but not a linux windowmized | 00:39 |
| LiGHTRokHE | =X | 00:39 |
| LiGHTRokHE | jake__: what are you looking for? | 00:39 |
| jake__ | well I'd like to add another panel but there is no widget for it and I'd like to change the color of the main panel | 00:40 |
| jake__ | the clock only displays 24 hour not 12 | 00:40 |
| jake__ | and no weather widget like on gnome | 00:40 |
| jake__ | I'd also like to make new directories on a right click on the desktop and just other configurable things that gnome regular kde has | 00:42 |
| jake__ | is this how kde4 is or am I missing something | 00:45 |
| maestre | xxxcccscxsv | 00:46 |
| maestre | vcs | 00:46 |
| maestre | vc | 00:46 |
| maestre | v | 00:46 |
| maestre | cdf | 00:46 |
| jake__ | I'd also like to thank anyone who develops for linux in general...I just deleted windows after using it since 1997 so thanks for making linux better | 00:46 |
| Pici | maestre: Please stop. | 00:50 |
| Dragnslcr | jake__- time format is in System Settings -> Regional & Language | 00:51 |
| Dragnslcr | jake__- if you right-click an existing panel, there's an Add Panel option | 00:52 |
| jake__ | no there isn't | 00:52 |
| jake__ | it says task manager settings and panel settings | 00:53 |
| jake__ | and there not much when I click either of those | 00:53 |
| jake__ | panel settings are only size and location | 00:54 |
| Dragnslcr | What version of KDE? | 00:54 |
| jake__ | kde4 | 00:54 |
| Dragnslcr | More specifically? | 00:54 |
| jake__ | how would I input to terminal to find out? | 00:54 |
| zer0o | hi guys, how do i get back something that i deleted? | 00:55 |
| Dragnslcr | K Menu -> Help, then Help -> About KDE will give you your KDE version | 00:55 |
| Dragnslcr | Help -> About in any KDE4 app will tell you, too (Konversation is still using KDE3, so that won't work) | 00:55 |
| jake__ | kde 4.0.3 | 00:56 |
| Dragnslcr | Well there's your problem right there | 00:56 |
| zer0o | is there a way to get back my deleted files? or they're gone forever? | 00:56 |
| Dragnslcr | KDE 4.0 was never really meant to be used | 00:56 |
| jake__ | hahaha | 00:56 |
| Dragnslcr | Kubuntu 8.10 has KDE 4.1 by default, and KDE 4.2 is available in backports | 00:57 |
| jake__ | so I should just go back to regular kde 3.5? | 00:57 |
| nukem2525 | is there going to be an upgrade path from 8.04 w/ KDE3 to 9.04 w/ KDE3? | 00:57 |
| nukem2525 | or will it require a fresh install? | 00:57 |
| jake__ | I have ubuntu 8.04 cause 8.10 wouldn't install on my computer | 00:57 |
| Dragnslcr | If 8.04 is all you have, probably stick with KDE3 | 00:58 |
| Dragnslcr | I can't remember if they packaged 4.2 for 8.04 | 00:58 |
| LiGHTRokHE | zer0o: what kind of FS are you using? | 00:58 |
| LiGHTRokHE | zer0o: http://www.stud.tu-ilmenau.de/~mojo/undelete.html | 00:58 |
| zer0o | fs? | 00:59 |
| jake__ | ok thanks I'll check it out | 00:59 |
| LiGHTRokHE | fs type | 00:59 |
| LiGHTRokHE | zer0o: fs type, ext2, ext3? xfs? | 00:59 |
| zer0o | ext3 i think | 00:59 |
| LiGHTRokHE | zer0o: mount -o remount,ro /mountpoint ; | 01:01 |
| LiGHTRokHE | e2undel - Undelete utility for the ext2 file system | 01:01 |
| LiGHTRokHE | recover - Undelete files on ext2 partitions | 01:01 |
| LiGHTRokHE | gtkrecover - GUI for recover | 01:01 |

| nukem2525 | zer0o:most of the time, yes | 01:05 |
| LiGHTRokHE | hehe | 01:06 |
| LiGHTRokHE | c ya people! | 01:06 |

| Strav | he. Got some questions about qt4.5 drawing artifacts bug on jaunty (if there's anyone concerned). Is there a clear reason why this bug should be blamed on both affected ati and intel drivers or should I consider the "it works when I switch to uxa" sufficient (even when jaunty is gonna rely on exa accel)? | 01:07 |
| salpta | Very quick question, because it's been a while. Is linux still having trouble read/writing to NTSF partitions? Or has that issue been solved? | 01:30 |
| Strav | salpta: never had any problem reading from ntfs, however I haven't yet experienced a clean solution for writing... | 01:33 |
| Strav | (it's been a year since I tried) | 01:34 |
| Dragnslcr | I believe the NTFS drivers can do read/write now | 01:36 |
| OxDeadC0de | is it possible to do something like, partition a CD-rw so one part contains a kernel, the other part contains the OS, but the part that contains the OS is in some format that can be used read/write with a proper cd-rw drive, so a live linux distribution could have some kind of permanent storage | 01:36 |
| Strav | last thing I used for it was: captive-ntfs | 01:37 |
| OxDeadC0de | ntfs-3g has no problems with ntfs | 01:37 |
| Strav | ... ntfs-3g looks better :) | 01:39 |
| OxDeadC0de | I was thinking about creating a minimil live distro with at least xorg, a nice wm, firefox, apache2, mysql, php5, and have the mysql part modifiable, so people in the field without a connection to the internet can access a recent version of the db, store information, then I can sync them when they do get a connection (somehow..) | 01:40 |
| Sonnentae | what do I need to do to mount a second harddrive? it keeps appearing as if it's external | 01:41 |
| OxDeadC0de | sonnentae add an entry to fstab | 01:44 |
| SuspectZero | is there a program that adds entries to my kmenu automatically using the /usr/bin folder as a reference of available programs? | 01:45 |
| Dragnslcr | Not that I know of. Pretty sure K Menu entries are added by the package | 01:46 |
| SuspectZero | dang | 01:47 |
| OxDeadC0de | SuspectZero I'm sure a script in any language would be easy to make to do that | 01:48 |
| SuspectZero | yea but i need somehing a bit more complex, like it has to make a menu folder regarding the type of program and stuff | 01:48 |
| OxDeadC0de | Just look at the .desktop file for an existing entry, make a template from it, generate the proper values from the results of ls /usr/bin/, store them in seperate files | 01:48 |
| SuspectZero | no .desktop files generated | 01:48 |
| OxDeadC0de | then modify kickoff yourself? ^^ | 01:49 |
| OxDeadC0de | or make a new menu plasmoid, shouldn't be very hard to do | 01:49 |
| SuspectZero | yea | 01:49 |
| salpta | Had to walk away. Thanks for the input. =) | 01:57 |

| ActionParsnip | JohnFlux: you can run a 32bit OS on a 64bit chip but with linux there is no need now (Ive had isues with Java but i dont use it personally so no issue here) | 10:31 |
| JohnFlux | ActionParsnip: that post still sounds like the hardware is 64bit | 10:32 |
| JohnFlux | but with a 32 bit kernel | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | JohnFlux: te kernel manages the memory | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | JohnFlux: so the memory access is limited by the addressing that the kernel can perform | 10:32 |
| JohnFlux | ActionParsnip: you underlying hardware still needs to use 64 bit addressing etc | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | JohnFlux: i guess so | 10:34 |
| JohnFlux | ah wikipedia says: | 10:34 |
| JohnFlux | The x86 processor hardware is augmented with additional address lines used to select the additional memory, so physical address size is increased from 32 bits to 36 bits. | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | JohnFlux: you'll find most 32bit boards only support limited ram | 10:34 |
| JohnFlux | So you can use PAE on 32bit architecture with the 4 etc address lines | 10:34 |

| areiv | hi everyone | 13:41 |
| areiv | I'm having problems while writing in forums. When I try to send the message, most of times it never does it, and I've identified that it's due to sending quotes | 13:43 |
| areiv | with firefox, opera and konqueror | 13:44 |
| areiv | do you know about this "bug"? | 13:44 |
| areiv | a similar problem is with thunderbird mail client | 13:45 |
| Dragnslcr | Never heard of that bug | 13:45 |
| areiv | the only way is to remove the quotation part of the message, or even sometimes to write a new one | 13:46 |
| Dragnslcr | Well, not with the browser, anyway. I've seen plenty of web apps that don't handle user input correctly | 13:46 |

| geek_ | Anyoseyo: i suspect unetbootin | 15:22 |
| Anyoseyo | thanks | 15:23 |
| Anyoseyo | also, would it be worth it to wait the extra two days for 9.04? | 15:23 |
| Anyoseyo | geek_ | 15:24 |
| geek_ | Anyoseyo: well, i'm running it now | 15:27 |
| geek_ | so i obviously think not ;p | 15:28 |
| Anyoseyo | so you recomomend downloading the release client geek_? | 15:29 |
| Anyoseyo | I'm sort of new to this | 15:29 |
| Anyoseyo | i installed 6.x some time back but | 15:29 |
| geek_ | Anyoseyo: There's likely to be bugs, and such, but it seems alright to me for the most part, other than a few random freezes (which has stopped) and a rather annoying irc client | 15:31 |
| geek_ | 6.x? thats... old | 15:31 |
| genii | geek_: Dapper is still supported | 15:35 |
| geek_ | genii: true. dosen't make it any less old ;p | 15:36 |
| Anyoseyo | and kubuntu has auto update, no? | 15:39 |
| Anyoseyo | and couldn't you use WINE for mIRC? | 15:40 |
| geek_ | ewww | 15:41 |
| geek_ | why would anyone want Mirc? | 15:41 |
| Anyoseyo | I like it for the scripts | 15:41 |
| geek_ | you could | 15:41 |
| Anyoseyo | what do you like? | 15:41 |
| * geek_ uses konversation or kvirc | 15:41 | |
| Anyoseyo | again i'm mostly a windows person | 15:41 |
| Anyoseyo | ah | 15:42 |
| geek_ | i use kvirc on windows ;p | 15:42 |
| devilsadvocate_ | quassel ftw | 15:42 |
| geek_ | devilsadvocate_: i don't really like how it handles channels and servers | 15:42 |
| Anyoseyo | so you recommend getting the iso of hte release client and putting it on my external hard drive? | 15:42 |
| * geek_ reinstalled konversation | 15:42 | |
| Anyoseyo | with unetbootin | 15:42 |
| geek_ | Anyoseyo: actually that sounds like a good way to try it out | 15:42 |
| devilsadvocate_ | geek_: you gotta love the core-client setup, and the selection of text, and the kde notifications | 15:43 |
| Anyoseyo | kk :) | 15:43 |
| Anyoseyo | urgh no torrent >.> | 15:43 |
| geek_ | devilsadvocate_: My main issue is with channel management ;p | 15:44 |
| geek_ | oh | 15:44 |
| geek_ | and it dosen't handle queries very well | 15:44 |
| blip- | hi all, I've got kubuntu 8.10, but wifi and suspend-to-disk and ram don't work.... they both worked well with 8.04 out of the box. What can I expect from 9.04 ? Is it worth the update ? thanks | 15:45 |
| devilsadvocate_ | geek_: being able to right click in chat window on xchat et all is nice, yes. | 15:47 |
| devilsadvocate_ | geek_: whats wrong with the channel management? it remembers the channels and such quite nicely | 15:47 |
| === tupac is now known as killuminati | ||
| geek_ | devilsadvocate_: its rather hard to switch between them, and i prefer bottom tabs | 15:49 |
| devilsadvocate_ | geek_: ah. im used to xchat, so thats not a problem for me :P | 15:49 |
| geek_ | devilsadvocate_: and queries arn't in a buffer of their own, i need to select a person off a channel for a private message | 15:52 |
| Dragnslcr | I'm getting used to Quassel, but there's a few improvements I'd like to see | 15:52 |
| Dragnslcr | Being able to move the channel list to tabs at the top would be nice. I don't need all this blank space on the side of the window | 15:53 |
| genii | Dragnslcr: Put in a feature request :) | 15:54 |
| devilsadvocate_ | geek_: hmm. i was able to query people not on any channels i was on | 15:54 |
| geek_ | Dragnslcr: i shoved it under my nicklist | 15:54 |
| Dragnslcr | And it'd be nice if there was a "Close" button for queries. "Hide Temporarily" isn't all that intuitive | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | Dragnslcr, yeah I'm not a big fan of the quassel layout so far , but I understand they're working hard on it | 15:54 |
| geek_ | BluesKaj: it had promise, and good ideas | 15:55 |
| geek_ | but needs work | 15:55 |
| geek_ | and if there was a KDE4 version of konversation, i'd prefer that | 15:55 |
| geek_ | granted | 15:55 |
| * geek_ is using the kde3 version of conversation :) | 15:55 | |
| BluesKaj | still prefer the old konversation kde3.5 version ...konvi-kde4 isn't ready yet either | 15:55 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, I liked Konversation | 15:56 |
| geek_ | that was the default in intrepid | 15:56 |
| Dragnslcr | I'd still like to see a client that can do the kind of event-based scripting that mIRC has | 15:56 |
| blip- | konversation is superb | 15:56 |
| geek_ | jaunty uses a single session version of quassel i think | 15:56 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, it does | 15:57 |
| Dragnslcr | The two-part setup is interesting, but I don't think many normal users really need it | 15:58 |
| geek_ | actually | 15:58 |
| geek_ | its pretty much a bounce server ;p | 15:58 |
| Dragnslcr | Heh, yup | 15:58 |
| Dragnslcr | It'd be nice for someone that has an old, low-power computer as the IRC connection that they can leave on, and use a normal desktop for the user side, but I wouldn't think many people have or need that | 16:00 |
| genii | Dragnslcr: Currently I use only the client and connect to a core which is in Finland | 16:01 |
| geek_ | Dragnslcr: actually, i was thinking of running a bouncer on my server just for that reason | 16:01 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, but we're geeks (one of us literally, I see). We hardly count as normal users. | 16:02 |
| geek_ | Dragnslcr: that and my old cheap low power machine is a tank ;p | 16:03 |

| genii | xchat is a GTK app | 17:14 |
| Acedip | genii, so ? | 17:15 |
| genii | Acedip: kde styles/themes etc work on QT apps, which is what kde uses. | 17:15 |
| jason_froebe | Acedip - have you tried Konversation? | 17:16 |
| Acedip | genii, ohh..right..that explains it, but what about other icons | 17:16 |
| Acedip | jason_froebe, yes, | 17:16 |
| Acedip | genii, i mean there are things which surely doesnt feel alright | 17:17 |
| genii | There are a couple packages which try to enforce kde styles onto your gtk apps. gtk-qt-engine-kde4 and kde4-style-qtcurve for instance | 17:18 |
| Acedip | can issues arise while using kde in ubuntu and not kubuntu | 17:18 |

| Dragnslcr | If you have the fat32 driver, I would guess that gparted can format a disk for it | 18:42 |
| genii | mkfs.vfat /dev/bleh | 18:42 |
| Dragnslcr | That works too | 18:43 |
| xp-killer | :s | 18:43 |
| ango_ | i partitioned mine to ntfs then installed NTFS-3g | 18:43 |
| ango_ | works fine for me | 18:43 |
| ango_ | and i also have some windows computers i run so it works out better that way | 18:44 |
| genii | I just use ext2/3 and from when I need it in Win, the ext driver from fs-driver.org | 18:44 |
| === Roozbeh|Away is now known as RoozbehOnline | ||
| xp-killer | i dont want ntfs i want fat 32 | 18:46 |
| xp-killer | i'll just go on xp and use partition magic to see if i can format the hold thing in fat32 | 18:47 |
| ango_ | well youre on your own with it then | 18:47 |
| dwidmann | fat32 ... ewwwww | 18:49 |
| xp-killer | ? | 18:49 |
| xp-killer | u dotn like fat32? dwidmann | 18:50 |
| === fenris- is now known as e-jat | ||
| dwidmann | xp-killer: right. | 18:51 |
| AfrOTRokHE | xp-killer: why you don't use ntfs? is already supported | 18:51 |
| xp-killer | y not? | 18:51 |
| xp-killer | cause i use my hdd not only on pc but other stuff like my ps3 | 18:52 |
| xp-killer | ps3 dont see my ntfs partition | 18:52 |
| AfrOTRokHE | =O | 18:52 |
| dwidmann | xp-killer: fat32 is more prone to things like corruption ... better keep backups | 18:52 |
| AfrOTRokHE | ok.. | 18:53 |
| xp-killer | dwidmann: well i have like 8 hdd and all are fat32 and for the moment only 1 die cause of me | 18:53 |
| xp-killer | dwidmann: 160g hitachi it's been 4years i have now and it still working | 18:54 |
| dwidmann | xp-killer: the hard drives potential to die has nothing to do with what I'm talking about really. I'm talking about corruption of the file system due to other things (at least partly its lack of a journalling mechanism) | 18:55 |
| dwidmann | xp-killer: With regards to serving to the ps3 ... you could do that with something like mediatomb, could you not? | 18:55 |
| skinnyguy | fdisk /dev/sda or whatever it is and create your partitions | 18:57 |
| xp-killer | dwidmann: yes i can but what now if my pc doesnt work? | 18:57 |
| skinnyguy | there is mkfs.msdos | 18:57 |
| xp-killer | dwidmann: plus it's to slow | 18:57 |
| skinnyguy | and mkfs.vfat | 18:57 |
| skinnyguy | that should format it | 18:58 |
| dwidmann | xp-killer: why wouldn't your pc work? And what's too slow? | 18:58 |
| xp-killer | skinnyguy: im not to good with commands fo i rather the xp way | 18:58 |
| xp-killer | skinnyguy: pc doesnt last foreever, plus what now if i dont have a router? | 18:59 |
| skinnyguy | CompuApps SwissKnife will do it in winblow | 19:01 |
| xp-killer | skinnyguy: i give up on swisskniff it kill my hdd once so i rather partition magic it have more options | 19:02 |
| kennethaar | Hi. My notes plasmoid disapeared. Where can I find the text I had written on it? | 19:02 |
| skinnyguy | ok im done ive give you three option and youve shot down all three hard to help ome thats that picky | 19:03 |
| dwidmann | xp-killer: routers are awesome things to have, you should :D | 19:03 |
| xp-killer | dwidmann: it was just an example what happens to thoses that dont have? | 19:04 |
| xp-killer | skinnyguy: why 2.5 external hdd doest work on pc but on laptops?it doest have a cord to plug in the power just and usb cord to power the hdd | 19:06 |
| xp-killer | skinnyguy: partition magic fail to format my sata hdd.it shows it as not a ntfs but a BAD hdd in yellow :s | 19:07 |

| AfrOTRokHE | xp-killer: you need to backup your info, then try to recover with some tool and then try to make any change in your HD | 19:08 |
| xp-killer | dwidmann: i dont know gparted.is it by dos? | 19:08 |
| AfrOTRokHE | xp-killer: apt-get install gparted or from konsole type "sudo gparted" | 19:09 |

| xp-killer | ive should of both a ide hdd | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | xp-killer , burn a copy of the GParted live cd , it might help you rescue ..not guaranteed but worth a try | 19:11 |
| AfrOTRokHE | xp-killer: reboot | 19:11 |

| xp-killer | OMG partition magic turn my 320g hdd to a 7mb | 19:14 |
| dwidmann | AfrOTRokHE: gksudo/kdesudo for graphical apps, because under admittedly not too common circumstances, with sudo some apps won't work at all, or worse, will end up changing the ownership of certain files that will cause you major trouble | 19:14 |

| brian_ | When I put the notes back on the desktop, it starts fresh. I don't think they are saved if you closed it. | 19:24 |
| kennethaar | brian: crap | 19:24 |
| brian_ | However, nothing beats a pen and paper next to the computer ;) | 19:25 |
| kennethaar | obrian_: Dolphin beats it for me? ;-) Hierarcaly store all your notes, and add tags and links to them... Although I have been using notes to capture ideas when I dont have time to make the necsessary folders. So no I lost all my quick notes for yesterday(ofcorse they were many) | 19:28 |
| kennethaar | no=now | 19:28 |
| dwidmann | kennethaar: something like basket, perhaps? | 19:31 |
| kennethaar | crap back to using gtk and tomboy for note taking. Very annoying. THink I will have to submitt a bugreport about makeing it remember the different notes | 19:31 |

| kennethaar | so now I am happy again | 19:37 |
| kennethaar | Although it's a shame about the notes I lost. | 19:38 |
| lorecaster | Kennithaar; what kind of notes do they take? i've never used the software | 19:38 |
| kennethaar | lorecaster: I don't understand your question. | 19:39 |
| lorecaster | i'm a writer and i work in the engineering field... i use post-it notes for my work out of my home-office, and my spouce hates it :P i was curious about that software, is all, and how it differs from a word processor like writer | 19:40 |
| lorecaster | and for anyone else who's interested... i'd love to figure out why i don't have sound any longer for my system, after i upgraded to 9.04 | 19:41 |

| Bman__ | oh yeah, i know that no prob | 19:47 |
| lorecaster | hi Genii!! :D | 19:47 |
| Bman__ | its cause i got two HDD | 19:47 |
| Bman__ | local disk C:, and NOSAVE F: | 19:47 |
| * genii slides lorecaster a coffee | 19:47 | |
| Bman__ | I want kubuntu to install on F: , but when i got to install you don't see C: or F: in linux, only bunch of numbers... | 19:47 |
| lorecaster | this girl deserves a hug for all she did for me last week :D i got autocad installed, Genii, but i had to go with a VirtualBox install. got it anyway! | 19:48 |
| Bman__ | So i'm wondering how to make sure it will install on the F: drive | 19:48 |
| Bman__ | Also i need to check if the F: drive is an HDD, or a partition of the C: disk.. | 19:48 |
| kirilos | i need some help with my nvidia drivers and kubuntu 9.04 i386,anyone willing to help me? | 19:49 |
| genii | Bman__: The installer will not see them as C: D: E: etc etc but rather as sda sdb sdc and so on | 19:49 |
| lorecaster | Krilios; i've had some fun with those :D maybe we had the same problem | 19:49 |
| Bman__ | Yes, so how do i know which is which.. but first i have to check if F: is a real HDD or a partition.. (in win xp) | 19:50 |
| genii | Bman__: Partitions will be like sda1 sda2 sdb1 sdb2 and so on like this. | 19:51 |
| genii | Bman__: The partitoner will inform you what kind of partitions they are, also what filesystem is on them already, if any | 19:51 |
| Bman__ | so, if they are 2 differents HDD i will see sda and sdb, if F: is a partition of C i'll see sda1 (as C:) and sda2 (as F:) sry for the dump questions... | 19:52 |
| genii | Bman__: You get the idea now, yes | 19:52 |
| Bman__ | Ok thx :) | 19:53 |
| vnwarrior | how do I set the background color from white to black in quassel ? | 19:53 |
| genii | Bman__: Welcome. If you have any issues during install, just visit here | 19:53 |
| Bman__ | Do i need to make a backup if it's sda2 or sdb ? there's nothing on the F: drive important, only on the C: drive | 19:53 |
| Bman__ | thanks :) | 19:53 |
| genii | vnwarrior: Settings...Configure Quassel...Appearance...Color Settings.... | 19:54 |
| vnwarrior | genii: I cant find the one for background... it is still maintaining at white | 19:55 |
| genii | Bman__: You could back up whatever you like first. this is actually not bad practice to have anyways. | 19:55 |
| genii | vnwarrior: Maybe ask in #quassel, some of the devs hang out there | 19:56 |
| vnwarrior | ok | 19:56 |
| Bman__ | But do I have to if i'm not going to install on the C: drive? cause this is really an old pc, running like shit on xp, so slow.. It will take hours with a backup program | 19:56 |
| genii | Bman__: So long as you have run chkdsk on the Windows formatted drives and they are marked clean, you should be able to resize them however you like from in the partitioner if you want to. | 19:57 |
| Bman__ | eerrr? | 19:58 |
| Dragnslcr | vnwarrior- from what I can tell, Quassel follows your KDE color scheme | 19:58 |
| Bman__ | There's 8.36 gig free on F: drive, so no need to resize it | 19:58 |
| Bman__ | But I really have no idea on what chkdsk is.. First time i'm going to install this so | 19:58 |
| genii | Bman__: chkdsk scans hd for bad sectors, crosslinked files, etc etc | 20:00 |
| vnwarrior | Dragnslcr: umm.. what does that mean - where in KDE can I change colors? | 20:00 |
| Bman__ | How do i do that? | 20:01 |
| Dragnslcr | vnwarrior- System Settings -> Appearance | 20:03 |
| Bman__ | Ah found it in execute.. | 20:04 |
| Dragnslcr | vnwarrior- the colors you set there should affect all KDE4 programs (Dolphin, Kopete, etc.) | 20:04 |
| B-Minus | hello | 20:04 |
| B-Minus | is it possible to get the windows fonts on kubuntu i dont like this font | 20:04 |
| vnwarrior | Dragnslcr: hmm.. not good. thanks | 20:05 |
| vnwarrior | B-Minus: try the droid fonts (check wikipedia link) | 20:05 |
| vnwarrior | B-Minus: copy them to a ~/.fonts directory and run fc-cache -f -v | 20:05 |
| B-Minus | tnx | 20:06 |

| Bman__ | I ran chkdsk, no problems found.. | 20:08 |
| duraid | I have problems installing flash | 20:08 |
| Bman__ | But is there a chance windows got damaged if I install on F (where there's no windows) | 20:08 |
| === someon1 is now known as lokai | ||
| pteague | apparently i have a few things in my startup list & i'm not quite sure how to get rid of them... & so when i log out without having closed those apps when i log back in i end up getting 2 of them (the 1 saved in the session & the other in the startup list)... without closing both of those windows if i log out & then back in again i end up with 3 of them :( | 20:10 |
| Bman__ | gennii ? | 20:11 |
| B-Minus | does there excist an applet or widget in kde that i have a command-run bar inside my taskbar ? | 20:12 |
| B-Minus | so i can just type in the apps i want to run | 20:12 |
| SandGorgon | B-Minus: just type alt-f2 | 20:16 |
| B-Minus | nice | 20:17 |
| genii | Bman__: I'm still here :) Work required me for a while | 20:18 |
| Bman__ | Ah no prob, take your time, just wanted to make sure :p | 20:18 |
| Bman__ | look @ 21:08:32 and 21:09:04 plz ;) | 20:19 |
| genii | Bman__: The only usual "gotchya" to watch out for... is to make sure Grub installs to master boot record of first drive. Some people put it on a subpartition by mistake | 20:19 |
| Bman__ | What's grub? | 20:20 |
| genii | Bman__: Grub is the "GRand Unified Bootloader" | 20:20 |
| Bman__ | So make sure I install on F: (sda2 or sdb..) | 20:20 |
| Bman__ | Genii, by any chance do you speak dutch or french ^^^ | 20:20 |
| genii | Bman__: No, sda2 is a SUB partition. You want it on sda for example | 20:21 |
| yaa__ | !lamo|Bman | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lamo | 20:21 |
| Bman__ | yeah lamo is the good word :) | 20:21 |
| yaa__ | ) | 20:21 |
| Bman__ | so if the F drive is a subpartition, i'm fucked | 20:21 |
| Bman__ | caus only got 2gig left on C drive | 20:21 |
| genii | Bman__: No, I speak primarily English. (undertand some French, some German otherwise, but not much) | 20:22 |
| Pici | Bman__: Please try to control your language in this channel. | 20:22 |
| Bman__ | Sorry.. | 20:22 |
| Bman__ | so if the F drive is a subpartition, I'm in trouble... | 20:22 |
| genii | yaa__: Attacking new users is also frowned upon | 20:22 |
| ronin-- | does anybody know how to install multiple packages on kubuntu using a file with the package names | 20:22 |
| Bman__ | That's no problem, really | 20:23 |
| yaa__ | genii^ i do already know what is prison %) | 20:23 |
| Bman__ | but if F: is sdb, no worries about damaging Windows or something like that | 20:24 |
| genii | Bman__: For install, you need something like at least about 2.5-3Gb partition, doesn't matter where or what drive, really. The important thing is Grub needs to know how to load it | 20:25 |
| genii | ronin--: Try the set-selections way | 20:25 |
| pteague | B-Minus: if you want something in the panel there is also the run command plasmoid, but i've been having issues with it in jaunty | 20:26 |
| matisse | is it a good idea to start now with working with 9.04 RC ? | 20:26 |
| genii | ronin--: 3rd post here for instance shows usage: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-169062.html | 20:26 |
| ronin-- | ok thanks genii I will read the man page about this | 20:27 |
| matisse | or will there be to many bugs, so it can't be real working | 20:27 |
| genii | ronin--: It will be in the dpkg manpage | 20:27 |
| Bman__ | If i got sda1 and sda2, how do I put them back together so i cant install it on sda ? | 20:28 |
| ronin-- | I want to install the same packeges as one old system and I thought I could get them with dpkg --get-selections | 20:28 |
| ronin-- | but I thought I have to use apt-get install to install them from the repositories | 20:28 |

| Bman__ | Hi | 21:22 |
| * genii makes more coffee | 21:23 | |
| Bman__ | genii? | 21:23 |
| genii | Bman__: Yup I'm around. (for another 20-30 minutes from work, anyhow) | 21:23 |
| Bman__ | So i went to installation, and then I came on step 4 i think) | 21:23 |
| Bman__ | 'preaparation de l'espace disque' | 21:23 |
| Bman__ | so preparation of disk space | 21:23 |
| Bman__ | I had 3 choices | 21:23 |
| genii | That is the partitioner, yes | 21:24 |
| Bman__ | Assisted: use a full disk | 21:24 |
| Bman__ | SCSI1(0,0,0) (sda) - 20,0 GB ATA .. | 21:24 |
| Bman__ | Assisted: largest disk part | 21:24 |
| Bman__ | Manual | 21:24 |
| Bman__ | So now i know the F drive is in fact a partition of local disk C: | 21:24 |
| Bman__ | But i didn't continue as i didn't know for sure what to do | 21:25 |
| genii | Bman__: Apologies on lag, work required me. | 21:28 |
| genii | Bman__: Your Windows C: and F: drives together add up to the 20Gb ? | 21:29 |
| Whipper_ | seems like someone is running win-95 :) | 21:31 |
| genii | Whipper_: Yes it's odd how it inserts the second drive between the primary drive's first and second partition on that one | 21:31 |
| Whipper_ | well.. win.. what can u excpect.. | 21:33 |
| Whipper_ | same as lottery | 21:33 |
| genii | Bman__: the "Use largest free space" option normally will look at the partitions and then resize the one with enough room on it to make a partition to put linux on | 21:35 |
| Bman__ | Yes 20 together | 21:35 |
| Bman__ | ok | 21:35 |
| Bman__ | But it's best if ik make a back-up before trying that? | 21:36 |
| genii | Bman__: Backups of anything are always good :) | 21:36 |
| Bman__ | Can you advice some good prog, cause i'm using a pentium 730 mhz with 256mb ram | 21:36 |
| Bman__ | i know they're always good :p | 21:37 |
| Bman__ | but are they necessary? | 21:37 |
| Bman__ | but yes i'll make one, just need a prog to do so | 21:37 |
| Whipper_ | Bman__: debian | 21:37 |
| genii | Bman__: If you have already done the windows chkdsk or scandisk, then the partitioner can resize the Windows partition safely | 21:37 |
| Bman__ | Is it normal when i click execute with chkdsk, it runs | 21:38 |
| Bman__ | when it's finished it closes automatically (the dos window) | 21:38 |
| genii | Bman__: Yes, thats normal | 21:38 |
| fab | hi | 21:38 |
| fab | how can upgrade to 9.04 please ? | 21:39 |
| clam | im trying to install kubuntu 8.04.2 on a dell dimension 2400. whenever i try to log in i get a black screen then logs me out | 21:39 |
| clam | i have a feeling it is a video driver issue | 21:39 |
| genii | Bman__: If you have anough free room someplace to put a file which is the size of a partition you want to backup, there is a fast way in linux with the "dd" command | 21:39 |
| clam | any help would be nice | 21:39 |
| fab | is there something to change in the source.list ? | 21:39 |
| genii | Well, short way... not neccesarily fast, lets say | 21:39 |
| Whipper_ | clam: disable x, and use terminal :) | 21:40 |
| clam | i can get to a terminal | 21:40 |
| Whipper_ | clam: at the boot-up? | 21:40 |
| clam | i need the video functioning though. that would be nice -_- | 21:40 |
| clam | after it boots up i get the log in screen | 21:40 |
| Bman__ | No, don't have any extern HDD or something like that, and also got no idea what you mean by 'dd' command | 21:40 |
| genii | Whipper_: Seeing as we're in #kubuntu most people will of course be wanting to use their KDE ... :) | 21:40 |
| clam | and when i try to log in, thats when it kicks me off and back to the log in screen | 21:40 |
| Bman__ | Well i ran chkdsk and chkdsk F: | 21:41 |
| Bman__ | both, no problem | 21:41 |
| clam | i have sinking feeling its video related. after all its a POS dell | 21:41 |
| Bman__ | So i guess it will be safe without backup, but still gonna use debian | 21:41 |
| Whipper_ | genii: i realize that, but if one has p730MHz, with 20GB, and Win at the same time, that might be a little.. | 21:41 |
| clam | when i look at the xorg.conf it doesnt state intel or i810 driver for video | 21:42 |
| clam | and most tutorials online say to switch that | 21:42 |
| genii | xorg.conf is severely deprecated these days | 21:43 |
| clam | and i tried using the dpkg command to reconfigure the xorg.conf file, but it skips the part of the video driver. its like what the heck? | 21:43 |
| clam | its like its not launching ANY driver for video at all, and thats why it crashes | 21:44 |
| genii | clam: Just backup your xorg.conf and then manually tell it in there to use i810 driver then | 21:44 |
| clam | dont know the syntax for that in xorg...help please ^_^ | 21:44 |
| Bman__ | Well i read 730mhz and 256 ram were enough to run it so... | 21:44 |
| genii | Bman__: Debian is a linux distribution which Ubuntu/Kubuntu and some other distributions are derivatives of, and not the name of a backup application of some sort | 21:45 |
| Whipper_ | Bman__: yes, its enough.. just.. | 21:45 |
| Bman__ | Haha :D | 21:45 |
| Bman__ | So, lite version of kubuntu? | 21:45 |
| Whipper_ | lighter? | 21:46 |
| genii | Bman__: No, not really. More like the grand-daddy of | 21:46 |
| Whipper_ | lxde :) | 21:46 |
| Bman__ | Ah. Then i don't understand why you told me debian if it's not 'liter' for my crappy pc ? | 21:46 |
| Whipper_ | Bman__: debian can be as light as u like | 21:47 |
| genii | Bman__: If you need a distribution which uses less system resources you may want to look into Xubuntu | 21:47 |
| Bman__ | Already heard about that | 21:47 |
| Whipper_ | or xubuntu | 21:47 |
| Whipper_ | :) | 21:47 |
| Bman__ | And true, the install did go little slow. | 21:47 |
| === diego is now known as Guest35300 | ||
| Bman__ | But it will go better once it's installed i presume | 21:47 |
| Bman__ | Only need to go on internet and irc in fact.. | 21:48 |
| olorin12 | is anyone else having problems updating sources in synaptic/adept? | 21:48 |
| Bman__ | Do you know progs to backup my files? | 21:48 |
| === FoxBlitzz_ is now known as FoxBlitzz | ||
| Bman__ | I know some, but progs I'm using with my core2duo with 4gb ram, so not going to try these on this pc :) | 21:49 |
| Whipper_ | olorin12: adept..yes, synaptic no.. | 21:49 |
| clam | tried setting video "section" to "Intel Corporation 810i Integerated Graphics Controller" | 21:50 |
| clam | didnt work | 21:50 |
| clam | still crashes | 21:50 |
| Whipper_ | but that just 'cos this so fres install.. | 21:50 |
| genii | clam: Thats not the part you need to modify. | 21:51 |
| clam | then please help me figure it out | 21:51 |
| clam | ^_^ | 21:51 |
| olorin12 | I haven't logged into linux in a while... do I need to update sources list? | 21:51 |
| clam | not unless they dont work olorin12. | 21:52 |
| BluesKaj | olorin12 , just sudo apt-get update | 21:53 |
| olorin12 | failed to fetch | 21:53 |
| genii | clam: Where it had something like: Identifier "Configured Video Device" under that line put: Driver "i810" | 21:53 |
| === ubott2 is now known as ubottu | ||
| clam | k. i will give it a shot | 21:54 |
| Whipper_ | olorin12: dont fix it, if its not broken | 21:54 |
| genii | Bman__: You want to back up your files... where are you going to back them up to? | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | olorin12 , which release ? | 21:54 |
| olorin12 | 9.10 | 21:55 |
| olorin12 | oops 8.10 | 21:55 |
| olorin12 | I'm from the future... | 21:55 |
| Bman__ | backup is as big as the place they take on my hdd? | 21:55 |
| clam | genii which section? "device" or "screen"??? | 21:55 |
| Bman__ | then going to find an extern HDD | 21:55 |
| genii | clam: Device | 21:56 |
| Bman__ | well it depends of their size | 21:56 |
| === maximo is now known as Nasra | ||
| Bman__ | I really have no idea at how big this is, if it's not too big i can upload them to RS or something | 21:57 |
| Bman__ | If i need them i can ask a friend to dl and put on a HDD | 21:57 |
| clam | now the computer is going bonkers... | 21:57 |
| clam | -_- | 21:57 |
| genii | clam: Maybe you mistakenly thought i810 was the driver you required | 21:58 |
| clam | im thinking i might just set it to "Intel" | 21:58 |
| clam | i was told the Intel driver should work fine | 21:58 |
| genii | clam: "vesa" is usually good for failsafe | 21:58 |
| genii | clam: don't uppercase intel incidentally | 21:59 |
| olorin12 | W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) ----- does this for a bunch of the repositories | 21:59 |
| joshjtl | is there anyway to turn down volume of stuff like firefox without decreasing the volume of say amarok? | 22:00 |
| clam | argh now you tell me lol | 22:01 |
| clam | well genii vesa works | 22:05 |
| clam | but at a crappy resolution >_< | 22:05 |
| Bman__ | ? | 22:05 |
| genii | clam: vesa is the usual fallback driver | 22:06 |
| clam | great | 22:06 |
| clam | well intel didnt work | 22:06 |
| clam | and neither did i810 | 22:06 |
| genii | clam: What reports: lspci | grep VGA ? | 22:06 |

| octavianus | hi | 22:55 |
| clam | yikes sorry cant help ya | 22:55 |
| octavianus | one question please | 22:55 |
| clam | im not the smartest with linux but i will help if i can | 22:55 |
| octavianus | Is kubuntu 8.04 kde 3.5 LTS? or it's supported till october 2009?> | 22:55 |
| octavianus | ubuntu 8.04 it's supported till 2011 | 22:56 |
| JontheEchidna | It's supported until October | 22:56 |
| octavianus | godf damn it | 22:56 |
| octavianus | I'm happy with my kde 3.5 | 22:56 |
| octavianus | so i wanted to know how long till format sda :) | 22:56 |
| === alberto is now known as carota | ||
| octavianus | so I guess that kubuntu 9.10 will be LTS ? | 22:57 |
| JontheEchidna | the one after that, I believe | 22:57 |
| JontheEchidna | whenever the next ubuntu LTS | 22:57 |
| octavianus | 9.10 not 9.04 | 22:57 |
| octavianus | 9.10 the next lts | 22:58 |
| octavianus | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Releases | 22:58 |
| octavianus | Ubuntu 9.10 | 22:58 |
| octavianus | 22:58 | |
| octavianus | Karmic Koala | 22:58 |
| octavianus | 22:58 | |
| octavianus | Planned for October 2009 | 22:58 |
| octavianus | 22:58 | |
| octavianus | April 2011 | 22:58 |
| octavianus | I hope that kubuntu 9.10 will be the same thing as ubuntu 9.10 | 22:58 |
| JontheEchidna | Both Ubuntu and Kubuntu 9.10 will be normal releases | 22:59 |
| rmrfslash | If I install a deb (say a video driver), will that driver be reinstalled upon a kernel upgrade? | 22:59 |
| JontheEchidna | with normal 18 month support periods | 22:59 |
| rmrfslash | or will I have to run the deb again? | 22:59 |
| Dragnslcr | rmrfslash- the driver would still be installed. Whether or not it works with the new kernel is another question | 23:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | rmrfslash: If you installed it from the normal repositories it should be updated when an update comes out. if you downloaded it frome some third-party source and installed it, then you'll probably have to update it. | 23:01 |
| rmrfslash | So installing something through a deb allows it to be managed automatically? | 23:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | As I understand it, the nvidia and ATI stuff has to be updated with each kernel. | 23:02 |
| rmrfslash | Well.... I had to install it from a ppa | 23:02 |
| Dragnslcr | rmrfslash- nope | 23:02 |
| rmrfslash | ok, so I need to then reinstall it. | 23:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | rmrfslash: No, installing it from the package management system means it can be automatically updated. | 23:02 |
| Dragnslcr | rmrfslash- only packages installed from a repository will be updated when a new version is available | 23:03 |
| rmrfslash | I see. | 23:03 |
| rmrfslash | I won't see my driver until probably 9.10 | 23:03 |
| rmrfslash | Well, not *my* driver.... but the driver I want | 23:03 |
| === ocsi is now known as ocsieu | ||
| clam | yeah i figured out my problem | 23:34 |
| clam | remember kids | 23:34 |
| clam | you may have the right resolution set in xorg for you video drivers. but be sure to also check what your monitor's res is set to as well | 23:34 |
| zigovr | hi all, I'm trying to mount a udf filesystem, but all files appear to the user with weird permissions (????????? is shown by ls -lah) | 23:36 |
| zigovr | I tried to set gid and uid options to the user, and umask to 000, but it doesn't change a thing | 23:36 |
| zigovr | root see correct permissions, but the user still can't see anything , and as a result cannot enter directories | 23:36 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| ronin-- | zigovr: did you try to change the owner with chown | 23:39 |
| zigovr | ronin--: the owner of what ? | 23:39 |
| zigovr | it's a read only filesystem (used typically for dvd) so I can't do that in fact ronin-- | 23:40 |
| ronin-- | zigovr: of the directory where you have mounter your files | 23:40 |
| zigovr | that's why there are option at mount time to set permissions | 23:40 |
| ronin-- | zigovr: i see | 23:40 |
| ronin-- | zigovr: yes try then to moutn as rw | 23:41 |
| zigovr | as rw ? but it's a dvdrom ronin-- | 23:42 |
| ronin-- | zigovr: so you mount your /dev/cdrw or dvd.. | 23:43 |
