[00:00] hi [00:00] I would like to get kmail work with gpg, but it doesn't [00:01] how can I do that? [00:01] It actually encrypts with gpg, but i cannot decrypt nor sign [00:08] someone told me installing virtualbox from their website would be different from using apt-get - which is best? [00:12] apt-get keeps it always more or less current with the automatic updates and best fits your system and downloads all dependencies automatically [00:12] however it might be a pretty old version [00:12] yrjokin: from their website, you get the non-free version which has support for usb devices or something [00:12] as the versions in aptitude are normally a bit outdated [00:13] AndySpain: ...what? [00:13] AndySpain: apt-get and aptitude use the same repositories, etc [00:13] yes [00:13] I know [00:13] but they are not always very up to date [00:13] AndySpain: then why do you say apt-get is more up to date? [00:13] website is more upt to date [00:13] Is "'System Settings' appears neither in Kickoff's System or Settings application menu" a KDE bug or Kubuntu bug? [00:14] AndySpain: oh. yeah. but then removing them isn't as simple [00:14] that's true, too [00:14] can anybody tell me how to make kmail work with gpg? [00:15] it simply doesn't ask for passfrases [00:16] raylu: you meant the closed source version has USB support - I almost took you to mean the opposite of that [00:17] c'è qualche italiano ? :) [00:19] mazz147: c'è kubuntu-it, credo [00:21] trying to install SKYPE on ubuntu 9.04... having some problems. http://pastebin.com/m5506e390 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [00:25] lorecaster: use "sudo apt-get -f install" to get the dependencies [00:26] yrjokin: yes. but by closed-source, i meant non-free [00:26] yrjokin: i meant what i said, rather [00:29] tsimpson: still crashed [00:29] same errors [00:30] it should try to resolve the dependencies [00:31] http://pastebin.com/m559d5d44 [00:32] lorecaster: ok, install libqt4-gui first, then skype [00:36] working on it tsimpson [00:38] tsimpson: i just installed libqt4-gui through synaptic, and still got the same error... will restart and see if that helps [00:39] @all: Hi there! [00:42] did some of you upgraded from kubuntu 8.10 to 9.04? issues? === lupine is now known as lupine_85 [00:45] so my knetworkmanager uses 200MB of memory in 9.04.... Isn't that a bit much? [00:47] k4284 [00:49] jacalope: your sentence seems an answer to my previous question... [00:51] dag_: well, actually, my experience personally has been one of greater stability, but I just noticed the knetworkmanager thing and it seems odd === dad is now known as emailwedgy [01:00] jacalope: today i spoke with a guy that encountered an issue with KNetworkManager in 9.04 [01:00] jacalope: I'm a little scared to upgrade right now, although the temptation is really great [01:02] dag_: wouldn't be the first I've heard about issues with network manager in 9.04, and I'm sure it won't be the last either [01:04] jacalope: nor is the first time that knetworkmanager is a bit buggy! ;) [01:05] I gave up on knetworkmanager after the 9.04 upgrade and switched to wicd. [01:05] Sorry K folks :) [01:06] earle: isn't wicd just a wi_fi network manager? [01:06] jacalope, there's a fix in the works , checkout launchpad , there are some suggestions there for adding a repos that will add an experimenatl version that seems to work on my laptop . Make sure you purge the existing network manager , then install the new one before rebooting [01:06] very minor issue with vlc interface: I can't get the video window to embed in the main interface - it always shows as a separate window. anyone else with this problem? [01:07] dag_: "just"? I don't get you... [01:07] mefisto__, the last version is like that,they will fix it in the next version. [01:08] KiRiLoS: ok, thanks. I'll give up on playing with those settings :) [01:08] earle: can wicd manage every kind of network? [01:09] it's happy with wired and wireless [01:09] mefisto__, you do that,i was in the same position a few hours ago,and then i googled the prob and i show that it's actually a bug or something.u can google it 4 more info ;) [01:09] earle: that's what I meant! tnx :) [01:09] no worries :) [01:10] I find its interface much easier than knetworkmanager's [01:10] earle: I'll give it a try [01:10] earle: maybe there's also a plasmoid for that [01:11] just upgraded to 9.4 ... immediate issue is that my mouse pointer is invisible [01:11] mouse works though [01:11] there is, yes, I haven't tried it yet though [01:11] I've tried resetting the pointer theme in system settings etc., to no avail === moreno is now known as Jo-Luis [01:14] captain_haddock: sorry for the (maybe so) stupid question...did you tried a reboot? [01:14] dag_: yep [01:14] KiRiLoS: did you find the vlc 1.0 pre-release ppa? I'm going to try it. apparently this issue is resolved in that version [01:16] mefisto__, nope,i didnt even search that output video aint a big prob for me,thanks for the info anyway!i'll wait till the next stable release :) [01:16] is there anyway to just make a specific file out of the source instead of making the whole source? [01:16] captain_haddock: ok, i'm here to listen some rumors about jaunty upgrade, 'cause fear a bit to upgrade my kubuntu version [01:19] oh cool... thanks for the tip BluesKaj! [01:27] teste [01:29] I have a sound problem,when i use an app like vlc or amarok and play a track,then every app that uses sound doesnt seem to work.Any help ? [01:33] hola [01:33] do u have audio drive intalled? [01:33] hola [01:33] que tal es el 9.04 [01:33] f3n1x, well i didnt install any,but it works if i only use one app at a time [01:33] mm personalmente me sorprendio [01:34] no me gusta ubuntu [01:34] pero probe esta y me la quede [01:34] el kubuntu 9.04 pero hay harware que no detecta [01:34] f3n1x, if u are talkin to me,try some English :P [01:35] not that was to another person who speak spanish [01:35] am sorry if my english is bad [01:35] or an indian english [01:35] lol [01:35] :P um it's ok [01:35] do u have any solutions for my problem ? [01:35] KiRiLoS: sounds almost like you're running OSS [01:36] when u try to play a track with an ap it work [01:36] ? [01:36] yes f3n1x [01:36] open sound system. As opposed to alsa or pulseaudio [01:36] hay harwdware q no detecta [01:36] !es | repbolivar04 [01:36] repbolivar04: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [01:36] but at that exact time if i try to use another app then the 2nd one doesnt! [01:36] gracias [01:37] faileas, any tips about how i change that ? [01:37] i am new to KDE >.< [01:37] KiRiLoS: hmm... i can't remember offhand. try sudo alsa force-reload [01:38] it might be deeper than that, and need some alsa related reinstalls i've not needed to do yet [01:38] oh :/ [01:40] KiRiLoS: have you looked in systemsettings > multimedia? try changing the order in the devices list. If pulseaudio is at the top, rearrange it so your soundcard is at the top, or vice versa [01:41] mefisto__, i just noticed that settings,i got 3 options hda intel analog - hda intel digital and pulse audio,pulse audio and hda analog work when i test em [01:41] do i have to restart after i optimize the settings ? [01:42] mefisto__, ? [01:44] KiRiLoS: I'm not sure, but in previous kubuntu versions (I'm assuming you have jaunty) you could restart sound without rebooting with sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [01:45] KiRiLoS: another way is sudo alsa force-reload, but that will kill any programs using sound, including kmix [01:45] anyway i'll try restart, but what i noticed mefisto__ is that when i got an app working(ex amarok) when i test pulse or hda analog/digital i get an error that it says it's not working... [01:46] wow mefisto__ i used alsa force-reload [01:47] and i get a message saying that it's gonna permantly remove the 3 hda devices i have [01:49] that message is in konsole? from the alsa command? [01:49] mefisto__, no a window popped up === kevin__ is now known as CradlRcker [01:50] kirilos: what if you launch in konsole "alsamixer" [01:50] ? [01:51] i did dag_ i get a volume manager or something [01:52] Why does openoffice 3 corrupt the taskbar in kde 4 [01:52] kirilos: so it doesn't deleted your interfaces, sounds good [01:52] :) [01:52] Why does openoffice 3 corrupt the taskbar in kde 4? [01:53] openoffice exposes a bug in the graphics drivers for your card [01:53] dag_, well i didnt accept that pop up :P [01:53] it should be fixed in later versions of the nvidia driver [01:53] but the problem isnt solved! [01:53] russ: screenshot? === carlos is now known as Guest5641 [01:54] kirilos: you can, to keep it simple, "dpkg-reconfigure alsa" without quote [01:54] when i have writer opened and i unhide the taskbar [01:54] kirilos: and reboot your pc can maybe help [01:55] it pixulates beyond reconition [01:55] russ: it's a plasma desktop issue [01:55] russ: seems to be unrelated to OO.O [01:55] im using Nvidia 173.14.12 [01:56] it was fixed in the 180 series, I believe [01:56] russ: me too, but the taskbar pixelize randomly also with other applications === CradlRcker is now known as CradLRcker [01:56] not others for me [01:57] jontheechidna: ah, thanks for the hint! :p [01:58] kirilos: any news?

[01:59] maybe you gave me a wrong command ? :P [02:00] kirilos: dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base [02:00] hej there [02:00] dag_, nothing happend.... [02:01] kirilos: if it doesn't do the trick dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils [02:01] Maybe 4.2.3 will fix openoffice [02:01] dag_, well again...Nothing,wtf? [02:03] kirilos: ahahah, it's weird! [02:03] dag_, :P [02:05] alguna chilenita????? [02:05] dag_, anything else i should try ? [02:07] :) === CradLRcker is now known as CradLeRcker [02:08] kirilos: if something like that was happen to me, i should "sudo kill -9 alsa" or "sudo killall alsa", then i should try to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base"; if these don't resolve, a cute "sudo dpkg-reconfigure all"; then again a reboot; and if I was really desperate I should "sudo aptitude reinstall alsa" [02:09] dag_, :P nice answer,anyway maybe i'll try that out tommorrow :P [02:09] hi all. is there a quick and easy way in jaunty to make my caps lock an additional ctrl?

[03:43] update [03:43] You can do that but you will still be using ext3 [03:44] right...so the best way is downloading the new from kubuntu.org..and than install make the ext4? [03:44] and you mean udgrade - but do it or start again as you can get ext4 which is blazing fast [03:44] you read my mind [03:46] but isn't ext4 incompatible with somethings?

[05:43] Well, I pull up the Hardware Drivers thing. [05:44] Idiot (cant get used to that name =) ), Do you know what wireless card you're using? [05:44] Oh, wait... *sigh* Looks like one of these drivers in the Hardware Driversr thing worked. [05:44] But don't worry, I'm sure I'll have more questions very soon. [05:45] Now, I can use the jibberish code I got from somewhere to actually connect to the network. [05:45] Idiot, just to briefly explain, the terminal is only used when you need to exercise fine-grained control over the system - such as interacting with drivers. In almost all circumstances though, there is a GUI tool that will do the job. [05:46] Ah, good. How can I connect to a wireless network via GUI? [05:47] Because I despise Terminal with a fiery passion that all the horrors of Hell cannot fathom to even begin to match. [05:48] Idiot: Is this an upgrade? [05:48] From Vista? I'm still trying to decide. [05:48] The current Kubuntu 9.04 release has a small icon in the system tray that looks like a plug, can you see it? [05:49] Idiot: i would have recommended installing Ubuntu 9.04 instead of Kubuntu personally. [05:49] Eh, got a tip from a friend who loves Linux. [05:49] Let's see... small plug... *searches* [05:50] I think I see something that vaguely resembles a plug. [05:50] Only because it is a little more 'polished'. I say this because Kubuntu 9.04 currently is experiencing wireless issues in some setups ( ie, wireless encryption). [05:50] socceroos: that's not true [05:50] raylu: yes it is. [05:50] socceroos: the gui is only used when there's no faster way in the terminal :D [05:51] 12:45:55 socceroos> Idiot, just to briefly explain, the terminal is only used when you need to exercise fine-grained control over the system - such as interacting with drivers. In almost all circumstances though, there is a GUI tool that will do the job. [05:51] raylu: if that's your mentality -- the Kubuntu is only suitable for developers and experienced linux users. [05:51] well, it's a matter of preference, of course [05:51] raylu: Doesn't work here with mobile broardband [05:51] ah, raylu, I thought you were referring to wireless issues [05:51] Faster, sure, but how does one actually learn this stuff without years of research and study? [05:51] I personally love the terminal [05:52] robin0800__: er, huh? [05:52] Idiot: just... use it [05:52] that's how i learned it [05:52] Hrm... [05:52] that's also how i learned everything else that i'm good at [05:52] by doing [05:52] anybody having issues with invisible mouse pointers post upgrade to Jaunty? [05:52] Well, I mean, maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and all that, but give me XP and an internet connection and I can do anything I'd ever want to do. [05:53] we all spent years learning how to use linux, but we forgot to write it all down, sorry ;) [05:53] Idiot: then why are you on linux? [05:53] Because XP is going out of service. [05:53] raylu: because of vista aparently [05:53] ah. heh, that's a good reason [05:53] Well, I mean, I game. [05:53] Idiot: Windows 7 [05:54] I don't do much programming beyond some slight web development and such. [05:54] Mostly web design if anything. [05:54] Idiot: me too. === death_ is now known as jotas === jotas is now known as chilebandas [05:54] So, I mean, I guess I don't appreciate what's so great about Linux. [05:54] In my experience, Linux means hours and hours of figuring out how to even install a program. [05:55] Versus two clicks in Windows. [05:55] but windows means either you can do it (in 3 seconds) or it can't be done. period. [05:55] Idiot: there is a lot thats good about linux, the best way to handle it is to understand that Linux will behave differently than windows - not worse, just differently [05:55] I guess... But then, I think I'd rather give up than sort through a thousand lines of code looking for a missing semicolon, heh. [05:55] Idiot: it takes me about 2 seconds to install a program... [05:55] speaking of that... http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [05:56] also, missing semicolons can be found in seconds. also, you should never need to sort through code :P [05:56] What command do yo uuse, Cap'n? [05:56] Please forgive my typing on this oddly oversensitive keyboard. [05:56] Idiot: on kubuntu, aptitude, apt-get, or kpackagekit [05:56] Idiot, you can use a GUI to install programs [05:56] Idiot: sudo apt-get install "program name" [05:56] What if I don't know the program's name? [05:57] Idiot: all 3 options i listed have searching capabilities. as does apt-cache [05:57] Idiot: sudo apt-cache search "keyword" [05:57] that's what I use... all the GUIs are frontends for apt [05:57] apt-cache doesn't tell me if its installed, though :( [05:57] Captain_Haddock: all the clis are frontends for apt too :D [05:58] *stares at the results of a search for "media player"* [05:58] Uh... What am I looking at? [05:58] a terminal [05:58] and apt is a front end for dpkg ;p [05:58] raylu: I believe that there are a couple of extensions to apt which help [05:58] Everything's for libxinel, or something. [05:59] guys, perhaps show him how to use the gui? [05:59] faileas: no, apt uses dpkg. but the apt toolchain is not merely a frontend for dpkg [05:59] Yeah, sorry. I have trouble reading jibberish. [05:59] gibberish* [05:59] Sure. [05:59] Idiot: it's a keyword search [06:00] Idiot: getting a list of media players isn't really possible. you'd have to ask a person about that [06:00] you can refine it further ... or just use the GUI [06:00] Idiot: Kpackagekit is a GUI [06:00] I suppose I just don't understand what its' telling me comes up, Cap'n. [06:00] Alright, so how do I get this GUI installer up? [06:00] Idiot: all these packages on your screen have the keywords "media player" in their descriptions [06:00] Go to the menu, then in the search box at the top, type: kpackage [06:01] that should bring it up. [06:01] idiot, tell me when you've got that done. [06:01] The menu? [06:02] "Start" [06:02] \= [06:02] The big K down on the bottom left hand side of your screen [06:02] Ah. -.-' [06:02] * raylu does not approve. [06:02] there should be a search box at the top of the menu [06:02] Yes, got it. [06:02] now search for kpackage [06:02] It's running. [06:03] raylu: its a good idea not to overwhelm new users. [06:03] excelent [06:03] now, this tool will (through a gui) allow you to search for and install programs [06:03] So let's say I want to play a game. [06:03] it will also provide a description of what each program/package does. [06:03] I assume I'll need WINE. [06:04] if you want to play a windows game - yes [06:04] the current versions of WINE will actually run quite a few windows games [06:04] Let's hope. [06:04] Alright, I've got a single result. [06:05] Hello, I'm trying to install a 4 disk game to Wine === ubuntu is now known as Eveready [06:05] excellent, i'm guessing that single result is 'wine'? [06:05] But I am not able to remove the first disk when it asks for the second disk [06:05] MushroomKingdom: "not able to?" [06:05] Yeah, that's right. [06:05] raylu. wine isn't releasing the disk [06:05] MushroomKingdom: try using the device manager [06:06] raylu: have to force unmount of disk [06:06] raylu: yes, it tells me that I am not allowed since the drive is in use [06:06] I'm going to take a chance and try clicking on it. [06:06] Device manager, yes I tried [06:06] Windows 7 will feature XP mode [06:06] Vista skipped [06:06] idiot, thats fine, you won't break anything [06:06] windows 7 premium, business, and ultimate will feature XP mode [06:06] package management in Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Debian is very robust. [06:07] why not Linux mode? shhesh.... [06:07] Eveready: that exists too. it's called vmware [06:07] raylu: professional, not premium [06:07] Eveready: cause they would muck it up ;p [06:07] lol or wubi [06:07] faileas: oh [06:07] or virtualbox ;p [06:07] kubuntu should just use synaptic :S [06:07] MushroomKingdom, try this from the command line: sudo umount /media/cdrom -o force [06:07] kpackagekit looks worse than adept :| [06:07] i was actually more comfortable with adept than synaptic [06:08] raylu: do you have a link for that? [06:08] Ok, i'll try that thanks [06:08] and i've never even run kpackagekit [06:08] I just did... *shudder* [06:08] Idiot: how you going mate? [06:08] I think I installed it. [06:08] Can't say for sure. [06:08] robin0800__: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10229125-56.html [06:08] ok, did it say it was downloading the package? [06:08] Yeah, resolved some conflicts, had a nice progress bar, I approve. [06:09] robin0800__: wait.. [06:09] Idiot: then its done. thats how to install a program in Kubuntu [06:09] robin0800__: there. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001258.html [06:09] Not too bad, if I know what I'm looking for. [06:09] Idiot: the easy way =D [06:09] So, how does it work, now [06:09] socceroos: umount: invalid option -- 'o' [06:09] I've got a game installed on a network folder. [06:09] How do I access my Microsoft network and run the game? [06:10] ok, for wine, if you just put the cd in your drive of the game you want to install, I'll show you the next bit. [06:10] socceroos, MushroomKingdom: mount -o force, umount -f [06:10] oo [06:10] Well, I don't really have the CD, I've been keeping it installed on a network folder. [06:10] guis... cds... such strange and ancient things. [06:11] raylu: wont let me force it out [06:11] MushroomKingdom: sudo umount -f /media/cdrom [06:11] MushroomKingdom: how'd you umount? [06:11] It's a legit CD [06:11] Sorry, Ray, but I prefer my "high-tech" as an elaborately fancy GUI, as opposed to a black screen and blinking cursor. [06:11] Idiot: high-tech doens't make it better. it doesn't even mean anything. also, blinking cursors are annoying :P [06:12] Idiot: thats fine - is your network folder on another computer? [06:12] Well, it's an external hard drive that I've got connected to a desktop that shares it over the network. [06:12] MushroomKingdom: did that last command I gave work? [06:13] socceroos: It tells me the drive is busy, and wont do anything [06:13] Idiot: ok, is that computer the one you're currently using or is it another computer on your same network? [06:13] Ray, I was referring to all those TV shows/movies that make hacking look like a point and click process. [06:13] Well, it's within five feet of my computer, but oh so far away. [06:13] indeed it is, thanks to windows networking [06:13] So close and yet so digitally far. [06:14] So, how do I connect to a windows network? [06:14] And, Ray, please don't, like, hack me and overclock my processor to burn-out to prove how superior Linux is. [06:15] MushroomKingdom: that's strange that it gave you that with -f. consider making ISOs of all the cds first [06:15] Idiot: ok [06:15] I was thinking about that, I do have the iso's already on my computer. I just sudo mount -o /media/cdrom? [06:15] So, how can I do this, socceroos? [06:15] Idiot: go to start and open up 'dolphin' - its the icon that looks like a set of blue drawers [06:16] dolphin is KDE's file manager [06:16] I would not have believed it, but KDE 4.2 of Kubuntu is now frozen stiff because i started alarm-clock ... [06:16] like the windows one you use to browse C:\ [06:16] tell me when you've got that open === hemathor_ is now known as hemathor [06:16] linux-hdtv_: are you typing from another machine? [06:16] If the Ehernet socket on the computer is blinking orange, what are the chances my ftp-upload is still going ? [06:17] yes raylu [06:17] Didn't see it, so I searched for it. [06:17] linux-hdtv_: have you tried ctrl+alt+f1 yet? [06:17] Idiot, so its open now? [06:17] Is that like putting 192.168.1.1 into a hacking program? [06:17] MushroomKingdom: to mount the isos? no [06:18] raylu, i could log in there ... [06:18] I've got something called "Kontact" open. [06:18] MushroomKingdom: mount file.iso /media/cdrom1 [06:18] linux-hdtv_: killall alarm-clock [06:18] raylu: oh, ok I'll try [06:18] Idiot: lol, thats like microsoft Outlook [06:18] idiot: you dont need that =) [06:18] MushroomKingdom: the mount point must exist before mounting and [06:18] MushroomKingdom: that command will actually fail [06:18] Yeah, I wondered. [06:18] MushroomKingdom: but it'll tell you the additional flag you need to make it work. i can never remember what it is [06:19] socceroos: no, it doesn't fail all over itself [06:19] rayly: thank you [06:19] Okay, I don't see dolphin off-hand. [06:19] Idiot: when you go to the start menu, it should be listed in your favourites [06:19] Oh, yes. [06:20] If only you'd told me to look for "file manager." [06:20] raylu: should I sudo mkdir /media/cdrom1 [06:20] idiot: lol [06:20] idiot: sorry, next time i'll remember =D [06:20] I think I just realized something. [06:20] MushroomKingdom: yes [06:21] thanks, raylu. it looks like gftp is still running (top). [06:21] raylu: true - I use Kontact in my day job 24/7 - its rock solid in KDE 4.2.2 [06:21] I now know why people go to Linux: people just like to play elementary school teacher on IRC for fools like me. === dewy is now known as svingen [06:21] linux-hdtv_: so, can you get back to the desktop now? [06:21] Idiot: hahaha, not likely [06:21] how ? [06:21] linux-hdtv_: ctrl+alt+f7 [06:21] So, with Dolphin up, now what? === svingen is now known as svingzemeate [06:21] Idiot: now, down the side, click on network [06:21] raylu: mount: can't find /media/cdrom1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [06:22] MushroomKingdom: you didn't specify the iso you're mounting, then [06:22] Yeah, got it. [06:22] MushroomKingdom: if you only specify one argument, it assumes it can find the other in one of those two files [06:23] Idiot: now, it should give you an icon saying ;'samba shares' [06:23] raylu: I sent sudo mount file.iso /media/cdrom1 but it wants a -o loop [06:23] click on that [06:23] ctrl-alt-f7 shows a completely black screen and a white skull as the mouse pointer. [06:23] See it, yup. [06:23] MushroomKingdom: yeah. that's the flag :D [06:23] ok [06:23] Oh, alright. [06:23] now, does it show your local 'WORKGROUP' [06:23] There it is. [06:23] linux-hdtv_: strange... try f8.. and the other f keys too :P [06:23] Well, it shows my workgroup, yeah. [06:23] raylu: so I tried sudo mount file.iso /media/cdrom1 -o and got nothing, and sudo mount -o file.iso /media/cdrom1 and got that [06:23] Idiot: sweet, its working =) [06:24] I'm actually clever enough to change my workgroup's name, believe it or not. [06:24] MushroomKingdom: er, where's the loop [06:24] Idiot: lol, i can believe that - you're a windows guru - linux is different =) [06:24] the skull is probably because i tried some key combinations, probably an app allowing to kill the window you click on with it. [06:24] how can i stop the skull ? [06:24] Different frightens me. That's why I'm Republican. [06:25] Idiot: lol [06:25] Alright. [06:25] I've got a nice .exe file here. [06:25] raylu: I'm not entirely certain where I'm supposed to place it, and what exactly I'm doing. [06:25] linux-hdtv_: escape. xkill, i'm guessing? [06:25] MushroomKingdom: mount -o loop file.iso /media/cdrom1 [06:26] raylu: ah! That worked. Thank you. [06:26] So, how do I kick this .exe's butt? [06:26] raylu: Day 5 of Linux today, going well so far :D [06:26] Idiot, try clicking once on it [06:26] MushroomKingdom: now, you may have to do some screwy things for wine to treat them as cd drives [06:26] MushroomKingdom: something in winecfg... maybe... [06:26] should then open it like any other windows program [06:26] how can I look up clamav virus definitions? Like for example : Trojan.Packed-142 [06:27] Eep! A pop-up window! [06:27] what does the window say? [06:27] Idiot: BTW, what game are you trying to install? [06:27] It demands to know what I want to open it with. [06:27] Not so much install as run. [06:27] Neverwinter Nights. [06:28] raylu: It seems good, the install is back on track. I was able to find the drive immediately and everything is running smooth [06:28] ah, so - the network folder you're currently browsing is an already installed game on another computer? [06:28] Right. [06:28] And yes, it works (at least on Windows). [06:28] xkill, probably. still the black screen is unexpected. and escape does not quit the skull cursor. for now i'm just happy gftp is finishing the job (3GB upload). thank you raylu. [06:28] Idiot: you may have problems running this through WINE over the network............but we'll give it a go [06:29] in that popup window [06:29] ctrl-alt-f1-8 no different, ctrl-alt-f9 no effect [06:29] type in 'wine' (without quotes) in that top bar and click on 'Remember this choice' down the bottom [06:29] linux-hdtv_: no problem. in tty1 (c+a+f1), you should be able to kill xkill if it's running. try pgrep -l kill [06:30] Aww... It says "wine" not fouuuuund.... *whiny* [06:31] hmmmmmm [06:31] nothing [06:31] ok, idiot, just try this for me: hit ALT+F2 and then in the little box that pops up, type: wine [06:32] Uhh, for Idiot's problem.. Would it be possible to copy the game files and put them into Wine's C:\ drive and run it from there? [06:32] It doesn't really do anything. [06:32] MushroomKingdom, it certainly is an option - I wanna try run it over the network first though =) === tweak is now known as Guest31849 [06:32] Doesn't find anything. === Guest31849 is now known as tweakedeh [06:33] Idiot: that would suggest it isn't properly installed [06:33] Yeah. [06:33] idiot: we're going to do something frightening here - open up........A TERMINAL [06:33] *cue horror music* [06:33] socceroos: Hm, yeah that would be the better option. I found it hard to run things across Windows to Linux :( [06:33] AUUUGHHH! *screams in horror* [06:34] Pffft terminal. Terminal rocks :D [06:34] It's open. [06:34] it's where my IRC is [06:34] MushroomKingdom: Idiot, is new to linux - just starting slowly [06:34] socceroos: its called going down the rabbit hole ;p [06:34] Idiot, ok, so [06:34] type this: winecfg [06:34] and hit enter [06:35] socceroos: I'm on day 5 :D [06:35] My hobbies are drinking chlorox, bashing my head against a brick wall until it goes black, and trying to figure out Linux. [06:35] socceroos: ...wine isn't installed [06:35] MushroomKingdom: nice one =) [06:35] socceroos: Yep, after 15 years of Windows. Fully switched. [06:35] raylu: I'm going to find out [06:35] Command not found, socc. [06:35] MushroomKingdom: well done mate - not many can do that =) [06:36] Idiot: ok, try this: sudo apt-get install wine [06:36] * faileas allegedly has a windows and a linux box at the moment. *notes one is on kubuntu, and the other on lxde ;p) [06:36] you'll need to enter in your login pasword and hit enter [06:36] linux-hdtv_: i suspect something else is eating up the cpu [06:37] Couldn't find package wine. [06:37] socceroos: :) It was time for a change, and a good change at that. Anywho, I've got a brand new problem. Wine won't let me in the C:\ drive D: [06:37] !info wine [06:37] wine (source: wine): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-0ubuntu6 (jaunty), package size 7329 kB, installed size 54508 kB [06:37] universe isn't on by default [06:37] raylu: ah [06:37] * svingzemeate <-- Grabs ticket #742 *doh!*... Yakuake vs. Jaunty ponderance. [06:37] which makes me wonder what Idiot saw when he thought he installed wine [06:38] raylu: yeah [06:38] Well, there was, like, a progress bar and stuff. [06:38] It went from left to right. [06:38] So I assumed that it did something. [06:38] a reasonable assumption [06:38] Hm, I'm still confused myself about the Universe and Multivserse. I have them enabled but I have no idea how [06:39] MushroomKingdom: /etc/apt/sources.list [06:39] Hm, thats into terminal? [06:39] MushroomKingdom: no, that's where they're enabled [06:39] Oh [06:39] Idiot: basically it goes like this, we need to enable your installation of Kubuntu to access all of the packages that are available [06:39] But, how did I magically enable them? :s [06:39] idiot: its fairly simple to do [06:40] see, it's nice knowing what's going on in your system. the gui hides that and it's ok when you never need to know. in other words, perfect guis are nice [06:40] Ahh, I see. [06:40] greetings ppl [06:40] Well, I was running off a live CD. Guess I should have mentioned that. [06:40] MushroomKingdom: what do you use for your package management? [06:40] Idiot..................... [06:40] You're running of a live cd????????? [06:40] =D lol [06:40] ^.^; Sorry... [06:40] thats fine dude - its just a bit funny [06:41] raylu: I did apt-get for everything [06:41] games will run slow on a live CD [06:41] MushroomKingdom: hrm... maybe installing it enables universe, etc. [06:41] Idiot: and you'll have to reinstall [06:41] raylu: So it's possible I enabled it by installing things? [06:41] crazy [06:41] So, what's the call on Windows 7's beta? [06:41] MushroomKingdom: no, installing kubuntu to disk [06:42] Idiot: more of the same [06:42] Better than Vista? [06:42] Idiot: a live cd doesn't actually install anything on your computer - you're just running everythin in RAM. [06:42] Idiot: "better" in the sense that they patched ugly crap up more [06:42] is there a kde scanner program? kooka seems to have been retired [06:42] Idiot: it's still annoying to use. UAC is less annoying about your own actions [06:42] Idiot: so basically, you've been 'test driving' Kubuntu instead of running it off your computer. [06:42] Am I the only one here who likes XP? [06:42] Windows 7 is better for the average Windows user than Vista/XP. "Better" is relative :) [06:43] Yeah, I guess I knew that, socc, just didn't enter the run command for brain power. [06:43] idiot: I'll take XP any day over vista - but I'll take Ubuntu any day over XP. [06:43] raylu: So by me making an iso of Kubuntu and installing it on my HDD I have Universe? [06:43] It all comes down to opinion i guess. [06:43] MushroomKingdom: what i mean is universe isn't enabled on the livecd [06:43] I'm curious--what is it that you do on Linux that you wouldn't/couldn't do on XP? [06:43] MushroomKingdom: but when it installs, it updates the sources.list to include universe [06:43] Idiot: not use my mouse [06:44] raylu: Oh, yeah no i formatted my HDD for this [06:44] Oh, well, congrats, I guess. [06:44] this linux crap is not even working. [06:44] i put the usb drive in. fail. [06:44] Idiot: the advantage of linux is that - if you're motivated - you can get it to do anything you want [06:44] I suppose... Though, really, XP does everything I want. [06:45] Problem is an increasing lack of driver support. [06:45] there used to be a window that would ask me if i wanted to open my usb drive. like 20 minits ago when i was using it. [06:45] the linux crap is failing. [06:45] Idiot: so you switched to the OS with even less driver support :P [06:45] Good point. [06:45] porky: so mount it manually :D [06:45] i hate extra typing. [06:45] porky: i hate extra clicking [06:45] Really, is there any option besides btt-rapeage by Vista? [06:46] in windows you dont have to type anything to use the usb drive. it just works. [06:46] btt = ? [06:46] why is it linux stuff works only some of the time [06:46] butt [06:46] porky: it always works for me. i can mount any usb drive. as a bonus, i don't have to deal with sandisk crap [06:46] porky: and "works" makes no sense, so "just works" is impossible. [06:46] Yeah, my u-key just ignored me. [06:46] whats sandisk ? [06:46] porky: nothing can "Just work" until it can read my mind [06:46] well when i used to plug the usb drive it. [06:46] it worked [06:47] porky: it's a particularly nasty brand of usb drive that runs some crap when you plug it in [06:47] now it's not [06:47] Idiot: if you want to seriously use Kubuntu - you'll need to install it on one of your computers [06:47] im tired of this linux crap. [06:47] porky: no, it didn't "work," it did what you exepected [06:47] porky, what the matter [06:47] no im talking about kde asking me if i want to open it [06:47] porky: if it wasn't what you wanted (like it is for me), then it would have been broken [06:47] Ah, but if it doens't work, of course, then I've got to reinstall vista, etc. [06:48] how am i supposed to know which device in /dev is my usb drive ? === don is now known as Guest19987 [06:48] good morning [06:48] Idiot: you can install Kubuntu along side of vista [06:48] porky: sudo fdisk -l. or just guess. it's usually sdb1 [06:48] as in 'dual boot' [06:48] porky: if you only have one scsi drive [06:48] It just seems astounding that y'all spend all the time that Linux requires just so you can... uh, what is it you do? [06:48] usb is scsi ? [06:48] is there ANY way to make my mouse side buttons work as forward/back in konqueror? they work fine in firefox. [06:48] Doesn't that require a seperate partition? [06:48] i have a blocked update in my software updates: kde-style-qtcurve - 0.59.3-1ubuntu1 [06:49] porky: no, but you only use one controller, i believe. also, ls -l /dev/disk* [06:49] what to do with that? [06:49] or how to install this blocked update? over konsole [06:49] Idiot: not necessarily, look up wubi. it works great and can be uninstalled from windows [06:49] Where do I find my WINE C:\ folder from the root dir? [06:49] Idiot, it does require a separate partition - but Kubuntu can do that for you - also, we 'linux' users do all the same kinds of things you do on XP, just normal stuff. [06:49] MushroomKingdom: /home/username/.wine/drive_c [06:49] ugh more typing. [06:49] i have work to do . [06:50] * porky puts the xp cd back in. [06:50] Idiot: jschall's suggestion is good [06:50] Well, on XP I do: internet browsing, video-watching, and game-playing. [06:50] And that's about the extent of it, aside from some photoshop-raping. [06:50] I would also recommend downloading and installing wubi - which will then install Kubuntu onto your windows machine like it was another program [06:50] Wubi? [06:51] wtf ? [06:51] Idiot, thats what i do on linux [06:51] ok now this linux crap really sucks. i ran sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb [06:51] Oh, what kind of games, socc? [06:51] and i can see the contents via cd [06:51] but konquror cant [06:51] whats wrong with this linux crap. [06:51] porky: are you saying you don't have time to type? [06:51] raylu: i mean extra typing. [06:52] porky - if you want help then can I suggest being a bit less verbally animated? [06:52] porky: permissions are probably wrong. [06:52] tf ? [06:52] Anyone know of a simple fix for Yaquake hotkey(F12)? Just need to know how to get it working with Jaunty. === codebaz_ is now known as pishguy [06:52] what's up with ext4 in kubuntu jaunty, I thought it didn't work on kernels < 2.6.29 === pishguy is now known as Pishguy [06:53] porky: and instead, you have time for extra clicking? [06:53] yeah. [06:53] what do you mean? [06:53] Idiot: I play (on Ubuntu), WoW, BF1942, BF 2142, Counter Strike:Source and Oblivion [06:53] porky: because in some way, using the mouse is faster than using the keyboard? [06:53] Never finished Oblivion. [06:53] porky: because it's easier to use a continous input device (the mouse) to do discrete operations [06:53] Never tried WoW. I'm into Neverwinter Nights for the same thing. [06:53] porky: than a discrete input device (the keyboard)? [06:53] what happend to i stick my usb drive in. kde opens it. [06:53] Idiot: yeah me neither - i keep getting distracted on side quests. [06:53] Neverwinter Nights has elements of being an MMORPG, but it's more roleplay-oriented. [06:54] windows had the usb drive figured out years ago. is linux still working on it? is it a bug in the kernal? [06:54] porky: no, but you don't have it figured out [06:54] porky: and you are blaming it on your software [06:54] what happend to i stick my usb drive in. kde opens it. [06:55] it worked 20 mintis ago like that [06:55] and yesterday [06:55] porky: did you upgrade to 9.04 since then? [06:55] no [06:55] porky: there might be an icon in your panel for recnetly plugged in devices [06:55] porky: i wouldn't know since i removed it [06:55] Hi, when i perform a uname -a on 9.04, i can see the "#42-Ubuntu SMP Fri", how can i change that Ubuntu to something else [06:55] Porky, when you last used your usb drive, did you ask KDE to 'unmount' it or did you just pull it out? [06:55] upgrading made my wireless NOT work [06:55] porky: then just mount the device [06:55] i just pulled it out, becuase in windows you can just pull it out. [06:56] lolipop_: that's an option set when compiling the kernel... so you can't [06:56] lolipop_: unless you want to roll your own kernel [06:56] *snickes at socc's suggestive question* [06:56] Though I assume that WINE has trouble with newer games. [06:56] Porky, even in windows you can't just pull it out - while Windows makes it look like you're doing no harm - each time you do that, you corrupt the filesystem on the device. [06:56] i.e., Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Crysis... [06:57] so do most cpus on that last one :P [06:57] socceroos. so how would you unmount it on windows. [06:57] There IS a "safely remove device" thing in Windows. [06:57] porky: "safely" remove device [06:57] raylu: i see, for now, my hostname is lolipop, but when i ping it from other machine, my hostname is ubuntu.myLANdomain.com [06:57] Idiot, WINE is still getting support for DirectX 10, but just to note, WINE actually works better with newer games than with older ones. [06:57] lolipop_: oh. that has nothing to do with it :P [06:57] lolipop_: cat /etc/hostname [06:57] Idiot: true, that does the same as the 'unmount' in KDE. === porky is now known as fag [06:58] raylu: yeah, its lolipop inside [06:58] on the taskbar is an icon you click, then select your USB drive [06:58] now how do i make my wireless work? [06:58] lolipop_: also... what os is the other machine? why is it reverse dns-ing your machine's name during a ping? [06:58] it doesn't "corrupt the filesystem on the device" every time. It's just that you run the risk of that every time you do it. eventually, it's gonna happen [06:58] Good evening, quick simple question I hope - On a fresh install of Kubuntu Jaunty, what would be ideal sizes of /, /home, and /boot partitions on a 160gb drive? First time installing/using Linux. [06:58] when i ran a bunch of upgrades, it screwed with my kernel. and now wireless doesent work. [06:58] It's got a little green arrow and a gray thing. [06:58] str1fe13: swap? [06:59] my wireless works on a fresh installation of intrepid. [06:59] swap is 2gb matching my ram. [06:59] via kdenetworkmanager [06:59] str1fe13: you can spend 10-100MB on /boot. dividing the other two up is sort of up to you [06:59] i have a blocked update: kde-style-qtcurve [06:59] raylu: i have a m0n0-wall router in my LAN [06:59] mefisto__: it will only break the filesystem if a write is in progress - but each time you do it then it will still corrupt the Log for the partition. [07:00] if i do a : sudo apt-get install kde-style-qtcurve then i get: kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig will be removed.. [07:00] noaXess: because the two conflict with each other [07:00] noaXess: aptitude show kde-style-qtcurve [07:00] raylu: ok.. an now? install kde.style-qtcurve? [07:01] noaXess: if you don't want kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig, then sure. [07:01] raylu: how about this then...how necessary is a separate boot partition? [07:01] Socc, what did you like about about linux when you first started? [07:01] str1fe13: not. but some people like to not have it mounted [07:01] str1fe13: also, it's very useful if you have multiple OSs [07:02] why is it in windows you can resize you rpartition with out a boot disk, but in linux you can resize mounted partitions? [07:02] str1fe13: splitting up / and /home isn't necessary either unless you plan to reinstall linux. or have multiple OSs, again [07:02] Idiot: I was interested in Linux to begin with because i found windows far to restrictive [07:02] err can't [07:02] err let me repharse [07:02] I wanted to explore the world of software and Windows just held me back. [07:02] why is it in windows you can resize your partition without a boot disk, but in linux you cant resize mounted partitions? [07:02] fag: how can you resize your partition while it's mounted in windows? i dont' believe that [07:02] Ahh. You know, I can't say I've ever thought in Windows, "damn, I wish I could do this, but I just can't." Maybe I've used Windows too long/don't think open-mindedly enough. [07:03] fag: through a bit of work it's possible in linux, though [07:03] Idiot: it completely depends on what you want to do [07:03] Well, if it's got uTorrent and can run .exes, I'm fairly satisfied. [07:03] socceroos: i disagree. it completely depends on whether you want to do what you want to do or you're just happy with what the developers of your software wanted to do [07:03] raylu: so basically for a first linux install having swap its own partition and everything else on the remaining 158gb is perfectly fine? I don't plan on using other OSes on the computer I'm installing Kubuntu on, or reinstalling any time soon. [07:03] thinking open minded is nice, but redundancy sucks. linux makes everything harder. [07:04] for example, you would find it hard to turn your Windows XP machine into a fully functional Primary Domain Controller for an enterprise network, but I could do that right now if i wanted to on my linux box - its just so flexible. [07:04] Idiot: in windows I'm constantly thinking "I wish I could select and middleclick to copy/paste" [07:04] str1fe13: yep. and that's why it's the default the installer uses [07:04] str1fe13: I'd make a /home [07:04] Really? Huh. [07:04] I never would have even thought to do that, mefisto. [07:04] fag: that's the price for making everything possible [07:04] Idiot: you'll miss it on'ceit's gone [07:04] I use it already to navigate the webbie. [07:05] when im in windows am always like, damn i wish i could program raw sockets. [07:05] mefisto__: I must say, I love the middle click copy too! =) [07:05] fag: Redundancy isn't athat bad [07:05] Once what is? uTorrent, dask? [07:05] raylu: which of the two package should i leave in the system: kde4-style-qtcurve-kdeconfig or kde-style-qtcurve? [07:05] daskreech: why make a /home if you don't plan to install other OSs? [07:05] noaXess: that depends on which you want [07:05] CTRL+C always satisfied me, personally. xD [07:05] noaXess: i don't even know what qtcurve is :P [07:05] raylu: you will [07:06] raylu: ok :) [07:06] Idiot: the mentaility about select = copy is: why would you highlight if you weren't copying? [07:06] Idiot: that was kind of my point. if you don't know you can do it, you'll probably never want to. another one is middle-clicking or right-clicking the maximize button to maximize vertically or horizontally [07:06] daskreech: yeah, i've come to realize that too. but he said he wasn't planning on it, so... [07:06] Maybe I was highlighting because some idiot used hard-to-see colors, raylu. :p [07:06] mefisto__: actually, that exists in windows 7 when you drag to the side of the desktop. on the other hand placing windows on the side is now a pain [07:07] raylu: More useful then. Means he'll build up a lot of data that he will want to save before he hits a reinstall time [07:07] Idiot: ah. it doesn't do it automatically in firefox, i think. [07:07] Interesing, mefisto... [07:07] assuming str1fe13 is a he :) [07:07] daskreech: yep :D [07:08] daskreech: I'm installing Kubuntu on basically a throwaway laptop. It's not even my primary computer by any means, everything important I do on my desktop [07:08] this is mostly for experimentation/fun [07:08] str1fe13: do what you want then. Experiment till your eyes cross and your fingers gnarl [07:09] Idiot: I'm out for a while, gotta get some work done =) Hope it all goes well mate! [07:09] So, to all you Linux-peoples, do tell: which is worse: XP or the latest MacOS? [07:09] Thanks for the help, socc. [07:09] str1: have fun, tink i'm gonna play with xfce later on, 9.04 stable so time to install something over 8.04 [07:09] Idiot: any mac os [07:09] Youch, raylu. [07:09] Ello all, anyone know of a fix for Yaquake hotkey(F12)? Just need to know how to get it working with Jaunty. [07:09] That's a low blow. [07:10] daskreech: I'm not sure about fingers gnarling, just wanted to get a feel of the purpose of various partitions and how I should organize them for trying out Linux [07:10] !ot [07:10] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! === user___ is now known as guy46 [07:10] I'm probably going to be using this laptop to take notes in class, but nothing incredibly major [07:10] str1fe13: In general any area that might need it's own management gets it's own parittion [07:10] str1fe13: make sure to turn off the login/logout/etc sounds :D [07:10] I get a message saying my mplayer is old and will not work well with smplayer [07:10] Why MacOS > XP? [07:11] Is there a way to update mplayer? [07:11] Idiot: er, you asked which is worse. [07:11] Wolfcastle: What release of Kubuntu are you using ? [07:11] Oh. [07:11] daskreech: jaunty [07:11] I knew that. [07:11] Idiot: Mac/Windows/Linux is a silly argument, it all comes down to a person's preferences in the long run. All 3 have their advantages and disadvantages for each user. [07:11] Yeah, Mac sucks! [07:11] Wolfcastle: should be pretty up to date [07:12] I still take some slight snooty pride in pissing on Mac. [07:12] Electrocution hurts, though. [07:12] Idiot: can you take that discussion to offtopic ? [07:13] Which discussion? I can give it a try. : p [07:13] The whole windows versus linux verus Mac [07:13] daskreech: I don't know, it's version 1.0rc2 and according to the official page it's outdated [07:13] Versus etch-a-sketch. [07:14] etch-a-sketch = best OS ever [07:14] Nothing you can't do. [07:14] Idiot: you can't shake it [07:14] Alright, last question. Say I put / and /home on separate partitions as suggested...which should be bigger than the other, very generally? [07:14] Well, you CAN, it's just not great. [07:14] str1fe13: /home, in my case [07:14] str1fe13: /home [07:15] str1fe13: By a fair amount [07:15] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [07:15] /dev/sda6 14G 4.4G 8.9G 34% / [07:15] Alrighty, making / 20gb and the other 135gb /home then, I spose. [07:15] I'll be back if something catches fire. Thanks for all the help! [07:15] str1fe13: 20GB is huge [07:16] :S [07:16] I have / as 7 Gb [07:16] I've never come close to filling it === benjamin_ is now known as benjamin__ [07:16] hmm [07:16] 10GB is probably more than you will ever need [07:16] daskreech: i can totally imagine str1fe13 installing *ubuntu-desktop [07:16] :s [07:16] unles you are installing all the desktops [07:16] in which case your menus get filled with crap :D [07:17] then 15 GB is overkill but safe [07:17] If you're tech-savvy and you know it, say "I am" [07:17] no, im just going with basic kubuntu install, with a few apps here and there if I'm unhappy with the defaults. [07:18] str1fe13: 10GB [07:18] you can grow it later if needed [07:18] I don't really picture myself installing much more than firefox, codecs and drivers, and perhaps a games pack for killing time though [07:18] I guess no "I ams"? [07:19] *nod* I'll just make it 8gb for the time being, since that's about what's left over if i make /home 150 [07:20] i think thats all i need then unless something catches on fire [07:21] Or someONE. [07:22] or worse, someWHERE. [07:24] Anyone else tired? [07:24] I've consumed way too many Jones Sodas to be tired. [07:24] I've eaten about twenty cups of peanuts. [07:25] I'm pretty not-so-good-feeling. [07:25] Anyway, I'm off.

[14:13] ikonia: it is openoffice. i was looking to try it but on their download page they say you can install it by installing openoffice.org [14:13] ikonia: which is kinda confusing, so i was wondering if ubuntu actually uses go-oo by default [14:13] afeijo: /etc/network/interfaces [14:14] canen: that file have just 2 lines, no IP [14:15] afeijo: if you want to give your server a static ip that's where it's done [14:15] ok [14:15] canen: openoffice.org is a website [14:15] canen: how can you install a website [14:15] afeijo: man interfaces for more info [14:15] ikonia: openoffice.org is also the name of the product :) [14:16] canen: it's utter tosh [14:16] ikonia: it seems ubuntu runs go-oo by default so that answers my questions [14:16] comedit: they are just linking directly to the open office packages in the distros [14:17] comedit: what makes you think it runs go-oo by default [14:17] ikonia: i assuming you mean me :) [14:17] canen: correct, well spotted ;) [14:17] comedit: sorry [14:17] ikonia: http://www.linux.com/feature/154364 and other places [14:18] canen: I find that hard to believe [14:18] ikonia: why? [14:18] canen: a big factor is that the package "openoffice.org" isn't even a package [14:18] ikonia: i know, it is a group [14:19] ikonia: what exactly is the issue? [14:19] I just find it hard to believe that the "open office" pushed by ubuntu would actually be a deriviant code base [14:19] more so as it's never actually mentioned anywhere [14:19] ikonia: well it is [14:20] ikonia: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+question/14965 [14:20] I wonder if any of the maintainers are free [14:20] ahh you have something already [14:20] i mean even debian uses go-oo [14:21] canen: ahh so some of the goo build patches [14:21] more research on my parts is needed, very interesting [14:21] great point [14:23] * canen goes off to try firefox 3.4 beta 4 [14:24] *beta 5 [14:27] Using Jaunty where can I enable wide screen support?

Although they could also be huge files [14:38] Hey all. I filed a bug for this but perhaps someone has come up w/ a workaround or solution: When I have fglrx (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670) enabled + desktop effects w/ OpenGL compositing, resume from either sleep or hibernate fail. I get a black screen w/ some funky colored lines at the top of the display. The machine appears to be hung and a hard reboot is the only way to recover. If I... [14:38] ...set the compositing type to XRender, resume works just fine (though XRender cripples the desktop effects to basic transparency and other negligible effects). [14:39] genii: no, the slow part is to browse my folders [14:40] I thought maybe to add something to /etc/pm/sleep.d to disable desktop effects and running a kwin --replace but doing so tends to hang kwin. [14:41] genii: I'm using sshfs to mount [14:43] can somebody point me to where I can download individual packages from the repositories? [14:44] main repositories [14:44] I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 (with both KDE3 and KDE4 installed) and trying to upgrade to 9.04 the distribution upgrade fails with "E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." However running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" shows no held packages and I still fail to upgrade. Any hints? [14:45] never mind. found them.

For more on Python please see http://www.python.org [14:45] not sure I can be of help but I will try. How are you trying to upgrade? [14:46] White_Pelican: running adetp_update (and following the dist upgrade) like shown here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades/Kubuntu/8.04 [14:47] hmmm [14:47] it should have worked [14:48] admittedly, I haven't upgraded yet [14:48] anyone? [14:48] I'm still married to kde 3 [14:48] Becoming more and more certain that my jaunty upgrade from intrepid was a failure: can't print anymore, system settings app doesn't have the software manager applet, clicking on links in thunderbird does not open page in firefox, etc. [14:51] afeijo_BR: Apologies on lag, work needed me. Geany is a GTK app and this may be causing some slowdown. Other things which come to mind which may be contributing are mount options in use. === michael` is now known as dROg [14:51] genii: its ok. my mountpoint have no options, just the folder and the target [14:52] maybe I should try removing KDE4 from my system before starting the upgrade, but I can't seem to figure out which package to remove [14:54] my cd driver is broken.... can i install kubuntu to my hard drive via usb? [14:55] afeijo_BR: You may want to try for mount options -o sshfs_sync,connect and see if any improvement [14:56] I need to unmount first, let me find out how [14:56] so how do I upgrade to 9.04 from the cmdline? This is a headless machine so I could actually also switch to "ubuntu-server" if I new how.

[15:01] tzanger: weird [15:01] as I said the apt-get install kubuntu-desktop seems to have missed it [15:01] oh [15:01] yeah... I guess install manually [15:02] Interesting, you'd think kpackagekit would be in the metapackage dependencies or so [15:02] genii: agreed [15:03] genii, rmrfslash_, amgarching kpackagekit was the culprit. instaled it, and double-clicking the systray icon pulls up what I expected it to [15:03] I guess that's a metapackage buglet [15:03] tzanger: Might be useful to file a bug for it on launchpad [15:04] genii: ok [15:05] anyone know where hotway and hotsmtp went? [15:05] hotway and hotsmtp arent in the repos anymore. [15:05] genii: next question if you don't mind... I noticed on gnome's desktop that ssh keys pop up a nice GUI dialog box that I'd never seen on KDE before, and the 9.04 KDE doesn't have it either... is that another package that I just don't have installed? [15:06] tzanger: I'm not yet running 9.04 so not too helpful, sorry [15:06] 9.04 rocks [15:07] np, I use ssh-agent anyway :-) [15:07] cept missing hotway, hotsmtp [15:07] Hehe [15:10] hi everyone =) does anyone know how i can install kubuntu to my hard drive via usb?

[19:38] kaddi: Exactly [19:38] :/ === sharon is now known as sharon__ === RoozbehOnline is now known as ROSHA [19:43] is there an easy way to uninstall the fixes that for networkmanager that where release today/yesterday for jaunty? [19:44] hi guys [19:45] how can i uninstall updates i installed earlier this day [19:45] just wanted to say I switch from debian to kbuntu on my eee pc. [19:45] ? [19:46] and i love kd4 on it, you guys rock. [19:46] ** Kubuntu Q & A session in 15 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom (questions to #ubuntu-classroom-chat) [19:46] Yay! [19:47] !wcid [19:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about wcid [19:48] !info wicd [19:48] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.9-2 (jaunty), package size 247 kB, installed size 1860 kB [19:48] and i love kd4 on it, you guys rock. I upgraded the application launcher went from have an button you pressed to display it to showing the whole menu, is there any way I can get that back? [19:50] i was installing a program when jaunty froze, i can still move the mouse, but the system doesn't react to mouseclicks or keyboard. can i just shut it down, or will this corrupt the installtion? [19:51] went from 8.x to 9.04, btw its awesome how it runs from a usb drive. I love being able to take my os on my thumbdrive, if my computer breaks all I have to do is find another usb booting computer and I am off. [19:52] linuxguy i envy you. :p went from 8.x to 9.04 now, 9 times out of 10 wireless isn't working and when it starts working, the whole pc just freezes up :( [19:52] really? everything is working fine for me. [19:52] do you have a eee? [19:53] Dolphin seems a little buggy and is missing service menus. Is there a way to get the device applet to open usb drives in Konqueror instead of Dolphin? [19:53] no, i don't have a eee, i have an acer-laptop. [19:53] well there is one thing, I have lost the ability to type in widgets. [19:54] like I cant use the dictionary widget anymore [19:54] or anyother widget you can type into, like application launcher [19:55] that still works on my end :) [19:55] linuxguy: maybe the virtual keyboard in KDE (Jaunty)? [19:55] Hey guys, Im getting this errror failed to bind to address 127.0.0.1[4500] with kvpnc. Is there a command i can use to see what process is using 127.0.0.1 port 500? Thanks [19:56] I used that when I had a laptop that did not like the keyboard [19:56] well myrtille you can get an eee for like $169 at bestbuy. then go get a 32 gig thumb drive and install kbuntu onto it and have a laptop with a 32gig drive. [19:56] I have a HP2133 that I got from Tigerdirect for $300 and it runs Jaunty great [19:56] i have a working vista installation on the pc... for the time being it's quicker, more reliable and better to use thatn jaunty, so I'm gonna stick with that for a while, till they manage to remove the biggest bugs [19:57] myrtille I bet if you did a clean install of jaunty it would work. [19:58] i dont know kbuntu but I have run debian for years and have had that happen before. usually when packages were in a mess and I decided to upgrade. === scott_ is now known as Guest41281 [19:58] one drawback to the hp2133 is that wifi does not work well in Kubuntu desktop but in Ubuntu desktop (Gnome) it worked out of the box for me [19:59] hmm, thats wierd. you can always get a usb one. does it have minipci or pcie [19:59] especially the wireless problem is a reported bug and not just some screw up in packages... i haven't really got the time for a clean install anyways.. just hoping they'll fix the problems === ROSHA is now known as RoozbehOnline [20:00] my same question, if you have a pcie slot you can always put in another wireless card if your card isnt already in it. and they are cheap. just check the chipset before buying === Riddelll is now known as mariamne [20:01] Pollywog: yes wifi is kind of bad on kubuntu. knetworkmanager and the widget aren't working. the nm-applet is working though [20:01] i like the nm-applet. [20:01] linuxguy: i can connect to unprotected wifi, but everything encoded isn't working with knetworkmanager or the widget [20:02] i like the nm-applet.I got rid of the default panel at the bottom and use widgets for everything. [20:02] since I only have a 7inch screen i needed the screen space. [20:03] myrtille that sucks. I would find a good usb wifi card. that way you can use it on whatever computer you want. [20:04] hawking makes a good one with an external antenna connector [20:04] and it has real linux support rt 73 === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [20:05] linuxguy: the problem is not the card, i already tried another (external) card. Still the same :I can connect to unprotected wifi, but not to protected. Knetworkmanager doesn't even react if I try to select an encoded netowrk [20:06] really hmm let me try. === Roozbeh|Away is now known as RoozbehOnline [20:12] hi myrtille it seemed to work ok for me. [20:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/348275 [20:14] one of many bugreports concerning this problems [20:14] just try wpa jaunty networkmanager bug on google, you'll get plenty of hits [20:17] oh, wpa [20:17] I use wep. [20:18] nixternal: Bah, swine flu [20:19] sorry but i hear about swine flu one more time i am going to have to hit someone. [20:20] linuxguy: Apologies, wrong channel. [20:22] can some1 tell me what's the difference to install firefox browser manually or through kpackagekit? i'm new to linux :( [20:23] anybody? [20:24] go7hic: what do you mean by "manually"? [20:25] like, downloading it and entering commands in console... [20:25] versus just clicking once on the name in kpackagekit? [20:27] hmm? [20:27] go7hic: firstly, it's easier to download from the GUI installer, and it'll get all the dependencies you need [20:27] if you install manually, you'll probably have to compile it and it'll take forever and probably fail [20:27] plus it'll take forever [20:28] so go with the pre-build version we offer and save yourself a lot of time and hassle [20:28] right... so what's the point of choice? [20:28] i mean why ppl do it manually sometimes? [20:29] hi folks [20:29] can you tell me what's nobinonly means? [20:30] hello world!

[22:43] Action Parsnip- gave me a list of files- what now? [22:43] ActionParsnip: kubuntu seems to have permission problems with scanners. [22:43] ian__: i thought thats what you wanted? [22:44] ScorpKing: then use kdesudo to launch the app [22:44] ScorpKing: maybe its a group membership [22:44] ActionParsnip: No, I wanted to make files hidden without adding a . infront. [22:44] so [22:44] ian__: you cant, thats how its done in linux [22:44] luis_: any luck scanning as root? [22:45] noo [22:45] xsane works [22:45] but it says no devices available [22:45] my scan is on [22:45] ActionParsnip: They are program files, and if I make the dot the program errors and can't find the files. [22:45] But oh well [22:45] luis_: maybe the drivers didn't load [22:46] maybe [22:46] well something else [22:46] i did download this: iscan-2.10.0-1c2.i386.r [22:46] from a web i found on google [22:47] and when i click on it it gave me the option to open it with KpackageKit [22:47] but then in the middle of installing it says error [22:47] luis_: .r ? [22:47] and stops installint === Gary is now known as evilGary [22:47] yes i found thos in some web page [22:48] luis_: so the filename ends in .r ? [22:48] rpm [22:48] sorry [22:48] kkerwin: can i paste a buch of text for you? [22:48] Sure. [22:49] hey folks, I have a major bug that causes fatal lockups, and apparently there is a fix for it... add a line to /etc/default/halt file, I did, is there anywhere i can check to see if adding the line does anything at all? [22:49] !rppm | luis_ [22:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about rppm [22:49] !rpm [22:49] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [22:49] here is the page where i found that acually the gui says to download 2 of them http://jrballesteros05.blogspot.com/2007/11/escaner-epson-stylus-cx5600-en-ubuntu.html === kenan is now known as Guest1598 [22:50] luis_: rpm is for redhat, i'd get the source and compile it so you get less issues [22:50] yes i c [22:50] vekulice..............

[23:05] on grub I get stuck at error 17 [23:05] with lilo, it's code 99 [23:05] I'm beginning to suspect a buggy bios [23:06] ahh yes it looks like it's some form of a 137GB limit biting [23:07] mefisto i did download both files and this is what happen with the first file, i havent move forward since i want to make sure in here : http://pastebin.com/m4c062952 [23:07] can someone help add the menu bar in kde4? [23:07] so i believe both files need to be done apart right? [23:08] mefisto__: grub fails reporting error 17 after loading stage1.5, but before it gets to a menu or command line [23:08] so if so in here the next step says to debianize, what does that means how do i do that? [23:10] can someone help add the menu bar in kde4? [23:10] lets c chronic [23:10] u want to add the icon of the menu on the panel right? [23:11] i accidently closed the manu bar [23:11] simple [23:11] get the cursor on any side of the panel [23:11] luis_: i mean the whole panel is gone [23:11] right click and find: "add widgets" and then look for it [23:11] uuuu [23:12] thats other thing [23:12] chronic: just delete .kde and .kde4 folders in your home directory and restart kde [23:12] that i dont know sorry [23:12] kk [23:15] chronic: right-click desktop, add panel [23:16] can anyone help me with my problem? my sound when under load comes out really paused it pauses then plays pause then play [23:17] virus2009: are you using pulseaudio ? === tweak is now known as Guest84961 === Guest84961 is now known as TweakedEh [23:17] sevenhill: im using amarok [23:17] if it is be sure that your user added to its pulse-rt group [23:18] what is pulseaudio? [23:18] amarok is a application pulseaudio is a sound system [23:18] mefisto i got this on the second step: http://pastebin.com/m4c062952 and then it says that i need to debianize how do i do that whats that? [23:18] just look in /etc/groups and say me if there is a pulse-rt in it [23:19] im probably not using it then, but the music plays fine then starts to skip out when i start opening up applications and moving the mouse [23:20] virus2009: in konsole type this : cat /etc/group [23:20] and at the output look if there is pulse-rt or not [23:21] sevenhill: one sec [23:21] sevenhill i dont see it [23:23] virus2009: ok then it is not the bug i known [23:23] virus2009: then you have to ask someone else [23:23] sorry about keeping you busy [23:23] naw your okay thank you [23:24] maybe you might be able to help with a webcam? its a micro innovations ic445c i cant get the thing to work at all the light comes on in the front but is unreconized [23:26] I have Ubuntu/Jaunty installed and want to also install the kde desktop. Is this just a matter of adding more repositories and apt-get install kde-desktop (or such)? If so which repos. [23:26] luis_: "debianize" just means convert the .rpm to .deb (.deb is a debian install package) the alien command does this [23:26] ok [23:26] so thats 2 for 1 step [23:26] i c [23:26] now i move forward and do the same with the other file right? [23:27] virus2009: does that webcam need the gspca kernel module? [23:27] or first i need to take one to the end? [23:27] luis_: try removing that directory iscan-2.10.0 and try the command again [23:27] ok [23:27] i got the module downloaded but still nothing [23:27] done [23:27] it says deb generated [23:27] I am looking for a program to record a screencast,any suggestions?thanx [23:27] iscan_2.10.0-2_i386.deb generated [23:28] luis_: ok so you have that file? if you do, install it [23:28] ok [23:29] Wow my kubuntu-devel experience was awesome [23:29] they basically told me to go fix my own problems [23:29] as in, download the source code and fix the problems with a proprietary driver. [23:30] which is obviously possible [23:32] * rmrfslash is steaming [23:32] MarcN: no need to add repos. just install kubuntu-desktop [23:34] mefisto__: thanks.

There are five temperature sensors, but there's no description of them, so I don't know if 51ºC is the temperature of my hdd, my graphic card... [23:47] is anyone able to help with the initramfs problem? [23:49] Calabero intramfs with usb creator ? [23:49] initramfs [23:50] i made a usb bootable drive using UNetBootin for Kubuntu - Latest, but this was after accidentally hitting the "factory recovery" selection in grub...when i realized my mistake it was too late and already rebooting. now it seems to be unable to locate my hard drive? im not sure im very new to this :$ [23:53] for some reason every single screencast recording app i tried works awful,when i playback the video i recorded looks like the frames are messed.Maybe there is something else wrong ?:P I thought this was because of the Qt4 not being compatible with the apps... [23:54] Calabero can you do pastebinit and if so paste the results of sudo fdisk -l >fdisk.tx where fdisk.txt will hold the information, paste the url here [23:55] make that fdisk.txt not fdisk.tx [23:57] Calabero maybe that wont work, just paste the results of fdisk-l [23:57] !paste [23:57] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.
