[00:00] joshjtl, you can install amarok 1.4 on jaunty if you'd like [00:00] joshjtl, imho, amarok 2 just isn't ready [00:00] ign0ramus: I feel the same way [00:00] feels like its taking a while to get ready too [00:00] joshjtl, you have to add a PPA- it's not in the regular repos [00:00] I need an OS that lasts a little longer hehe [00:01] hi, i've just installed kubuntu 9.04 on a new laptop but i can't start a graphic session i got : "kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3. Check your installation" [00:02] the problem seems to come from from the fact that my home is encrypted [00:03] are there any news about kde 4.3 beta 1 for kubuntu 9.04? === matthew is now known as Mindblade16 [00:04] hello everyone [00:04] hi [00:04] Jado, do you have "kdebase-workspace" installed? [00:05] marcox25, you just asked about this ... please read the topics, check kde.org, and the kubuntu web site [00:05] it seems not ign0ramus === nikolas_ is now known as Assurbanipal [00:05] Jado, most likely your issue :) [00:05] ok thanks [00:05] np [00:06] i'll have to leave internet from this computer to connect to the computer which has the issue ; i'll come again later and tell you if that's fixed [00:06] Jado, k np [00:06] I was curious about something. KDevelop C/C++ Hello World doesn't seem to work [00:07] huh? [00:07] I want to write in C, but the compiler doesnt work right [00:07] 'doesnt work right'? [00:09] For Example: I set the complier to create a new program called "Hello World". It didnt work even though it was an automatic program [00:10] I know I'm doing something wrong. It can't be the compiler [00:10] * carpii shrugs. you need to learn how to ask a proper question [00:10] ok then [00:12] its a other alternativ app as the kooldock for amd64 [00:14] the KDevelop C/C++ compiler gives me this message when I compile the "Simple Hello World" program: *** Exited with status: 2 *** [00:17] mindblade, compile it from commandline before you try using gui tools [00:18] ok. thanks [00:22] ign0ramus: hi it's Jado ; i've tried and intalled kdebase-workspace but i still have the same error. What i don't understand is that the file is in /usr/bin and this path is in the variable $PATH so it should find it. [00:22] jado, that's correct. i wonder if your permissions are borked...? [00:22] i've tried 777 but that won't do a thing [00:23] how can i disable the encryption of the home ? [00:24] if i try ecryptfs-mount-private i got "Encrypted Private is not setup properly" What should i do ? [00:24] jado, i don't know much about encryption [00:24] jado, try to sort that out, and also see here : http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3101650.0 [00:25] thanks [00:26] jado, np [00:27] stevanatto [00:30] is it safe to write sudo apt-get remove --purge kde && sudo apt-get install kde ? [00:31] why resizing widgets it's not done ina smoooth way,, ? it's a video card driver problem? or is Qt/kde problem? [00:32] jado, i would say "yes", but i'm not 100% sure [00:32] let's go :) [00:33] jado, as long as it doesn't affect your networking, you should be able to install any packages [00:33] jado, i like that attitude! [00:33] kde is not installed, so not removed :( [00:34] if kde is not installed then how the hell is "he" trying to open a graphic session ?? [00:34] maybe "kdebase" ? :/ === matthew is now known as Mindblade16 [00:34] kdebase is not installed, so not removed :( [00:35] Hello [00:35] i am looking for yahoo messenger on Kubuntu 9.04 [00:35] why resizing widgets it's not done ina smoooth way,, ? it's a video card driver problem? or is Qt/kde problem? [00:35] so what's with the login window that i have on the xserver ? what should i do ? sudo apt-get intall kde ?? [00:36] well i don't have anything to lose .. [00:36] Ok, I was wondering what program I should use to program C in command line. I'm using Ubuntu. [00:37] Mindblade16: you can try 'emacs -nw' [00:37] have anyone a link to a ksmoothdock for amd64? [00:39] damn it ; i've tried sudo apt-get install kde but i still have the same problem [00:40] why resizing widgets it's not done ina smoooth way,, ? it's a video card driver problem? or is Qt/kde problem? [00:43] what things?salgo en 5 min [00:45] i'll just try with gnome [00:45] gnoem sucks [00:45] ok but kde is not working :( [00:45] jado, do you have "kdm" installed? [00:46] i think so ; if kdm was not installed i shouldn't see a login screen [00:46] thank you jado, I'll look that up [00:47] Mindblade16: but why do you want to program with command line and not in a graphical window ? [00:49] I do want to use a GUI. I'm going to be taking a college class in C. I have KDevelop as a compiler, but for some reason I can't get it to compile the simplest program [00:49] try to compile with 'gcc' ? === linuxwizard__ is now known as linuxwizard [00:50] is gcc available through Ubuntu? === linuxwizard is now known as Guest89082 [00:50] if you open a terminal you should be able to use it ; if you can't just intall it with 'sudo apt-get install gcc', i gues [00:51] I'll look it up. thanks [00:52] np [00:55] Ah! I found the terminal! I'mma bit new to ubuntu, so excuse me [00:57] what were you using before ? [00:57] windows vista [00:57] ok [00:58] culture shock, lol [00:58] :D can you compile a simple .c file ? [00:59] not from command line. I guess I should learn that first. I've only ever used GUIs for programming. except for QBASIC [01:00] you just write your .c file somewhere with some text editor [01:00] then you go with the terminal in the folder of the .c file (with the command cd (change directory)) [01:01] then you write gcc yourfile.c -o outputname [01:01] I have the terminal open, so I'll try that [01:02] it says no input files [01:03] that means you're not in the right directory [01:03] or that the name of the file you entered is wrong [01:03] type 'ls' to make sure that your .c file is there === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:05] I think I'm getting the hang of it now [01:05] how can I set my default file manager, for programs like firefox, to be dolphin? it seems like nautilus keeps popping up?

[03:13] hehe [03:13] hmm hold on one sec [03:14] hmm not in /var/www [03:14] dont know [03:14] it just worked :) [03:14] i just know that you shouldnt move the phpmyadmin/ dir [03:15] hehe, seems most people don't have a problem with it, can't say i expected to either, not with this, figured apache installation would go horribly wrong [03:16] where is your dir now? [03:16] ummm, /var/www /home/martin/public_html and /usr/share/phpmyadmin [03:16] i know, don't laugh [03:17] :O [03:17] did you move it to /var/www ? [03:17] yeah [03:17] it was in /usr/share/phpmyadmin [03:18] but didn't do anything [03:18] do i need to edit apache2.conf to tell it to look in /usr/share???? [03:18] hmm [03:19] i saw somewhere you might have to add an "include" in apache2.conf [03:19] you know what.. im sorry but i think you might get lucky in #ubuntu [03:19] ahhh [03:19] wait [03:19] i can check [03:19] delete /var/www/phpmyadmin and /home/*/public_html/phpmyadmin [03:19] k [03:19] and i check my apache2.conf [03:19] Check /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to see what directoy there are virtual hosts for [03:20] k [03:20] what exactly do i look for as far as virtual hosts [03:20] If you haven't changed anything, I think the only file should be 000-default [03:20] do you have /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [03:20] And it should have /var/www as the DocumentRoot [03:21] i got that [03:21] no [03:21] i can paste it for you [03:21] martin_: http://www.pastie.org/481173 [03:21] Dragnslcr all i have is 000-default [03:22] thats my /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [03:22] martin_- what's the DocumentRoot line in that file? [03:22] var/www [03:23] does that mean that if my phpmyadmin is in /var/www then it should work [03:23] var/www or /var/www [03:23] martin_- yup [03:23] martin_: its symlinked [03:23] --- /var/www [03:23] Dragnslcr: the phpmyadmin dir is symlinked from /usr/share/phpmyadmin [03:23] on my install [03:23] and i did it last night [03:23] That would work too [03:23] I keep hearing that, what does that mean? [03:24] symlinked? [03:24] martin_- what files/directories are in /var/www ? [03:24] yeah [03:24] a phpmyadmin directory and apache's index.html [03:24] u cp'd the phpmyadmin dir there though [03:24] martin_: symlinked is when you.. hmmf, dont know how to explain but, creates a link from /usr/share/phpmyadmin to /var/www/phpmyadmin [03:25] sorry, new to linxu [03:25] linux [03:25] martin_- what do you get when you go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin ? [03:25] it pulls it up now that i copied the files however it doesn't work correctly, i have php errors and cookie erros, figured i broke it when i copied the directory to /var/www [03:26] You'll have to ask phpMyAdmin support about errors in their program [03:27] you can try it if ya want 99.52.160.147/phpmyadmin havn't changed the pwd === amit is now known as Guest43573 [03:28] hehe, i just restarted apache and it now it works [03:29] wtf [03:30] what does apache have to do with mysql?

[03:48] I'm running 9.04 on kde I can play mp3 with Amarok [03:48] blah [03:48] Nikke: I don't know the reasons for your problems [03:49] why cant i update then? [03:49] Ah, now I remember...I had to install codecs for Amarok.. It prompted me to install codecs for playing music [03:49] Nikke: Amarok should ask you to install codecs.. Did you install them? It would prompt you the first time.. you install codecs.. [03:49] jediatnight: didnt get any message [03:50] Nikke: I got a prompt from Kubuntu [03:50] *from Amarok [03:50] yes when i start amarok it says amarok updates available [03:51] but when i click on that notify it says there are three blocked updates === carlos is now known as Guest18891 [03:54] Nikke: Can you unblock them?

[05:23] davidjheinrich_: spaces are a pain in the butt. I avoid them whenever possible - makes life easy when it comes to file management... [05:24] Traditionally, Unix didn't do spaces, but Windows did. Linux followed the Unix approach. [05:24] Spaces *are* do-able now-a-days, but throw a space into the file name of a web page - it'll fail miserably... [05:25] hmm.. think I'll go test that just to be sure.. :) [05:25] don't websites use &s or %s or something like that for spaces [05:25] if u put up a file with spaces in it, the website link shows %s for the space, and it d/l's with a space...IIRC [05:26] in URL parameters, sure... but in file names, I've never seen it. [05:26] could u explain what u mean by "pain in the butt" for file management? [05:27] hi everyone === ursula__ is now known as Ursinha [05:27] k. When you are working at the command line. You want to delete a file called "my utterly useless file". Problem is, that's not how the filename appears at the command line - it would need to be revised to "my\ utterly\ useless\ file". [05:27] so those extra slashes slow you down. [05:27] get into this enough and it is a big annoyance. [05:28] (I'm ignoring tab-completion for the moment though...) [05:28] yea, I use tab-completion [05:28] and it just puts a \ before every space to treat it as special character [05:28] just setup a geexbox and got it serving media to my 56" flawlessly [05:29] using mediatomb upnp [05:29] but, I USED to be able to use tab-completion by putting quotes at the front "file..." then press TAB and it completes...that hasn't worked with me in Ubuntu [05:29] I remember the quote filename completionf rom years ago, don't know what distro or setup [05:29] yep. but what about when you need to do something where tab-completion doesn't work? Like maybe importing a file from within MySQL when the mysql client doesn't have tabcompletion enabled? [05:30] I think you would need to escape the quote. Something like \"file\ name\" [05:30] nope, that doesn't work [05:33] davidjheinrich_: this is why I avoid using odd characters in my file names. Quotes are almost always going to be problematic. Spaces eventually are. I even avoid all the shift characters above the number keys - even though most are valid. === ml is now known as Guest57779 [05:36] tab-completion works fine for me...I was just wondering why I can't start with a quote to avoid all those ugly \ [05:37] and imo, underscores look ugly when navigating files and trying to read things...esp when I've transferred flac files to my Cowon D2 and am navigating by folder [05:38] (the other thing is, for me, it's easier to type a space than an underscore, so the file-creation process is easier with spaces) [05:39] i guess everything's a tradeoff [05:41] can i disable that workspaces steel windows from other workspaces? if i opens a link in workspace 1 i want firefox to stay in workspace 2 [05:44] anyone know an application like putty for 9.4? [05:45] i need a serial concole [05:53] davidjheinrich_: I personally use only one or two words, if I need more I use camelCase. If I need a date or something, then I separate it with an underscore or dash. i.e. myBackup-09 [05:54] Hello [05:54] t0aster: xterm? Or do you mean you need to connect to a serial device? [05:54] In that case, miniterm (I think that's right...) [05:54] I found something [05:55] IS there anyone who can help me with some confuiguration to GRUB ?? [05:55] what is camelCase? [05:55] kgrub editor [05:56] yeap [05:56] well thats how it is: [05:56] i had an old drive with XP [05:56] davidjheinrich_: join your words together without spaces. Capitalize the first character of every word after the first. i.e. thisIsCamelCase [05:56] and i connected to another sata slot [05:57] but i want to add it to the boot menu so that sometimes i may log to windows..

[07:07] finally am onto kubuntu 9.04 and with it comes a simple problem. which was easily solved in last version by not this one. [07:08] this is about amarok 2 not playing my mp3's and not popping up the "install MP3 support" and also the package lists showing some mp3 related library called libmad installed. [07:09] amarok 2 play/pause/stop/track change buttons are ugh!ly [07:09] dpreacher: if you install kubuntu-restricted extras as well as lame you should be able to play fine [07:09] dpreacher: regarding the play pause etc that has to be taken to the amarok channel [07:09] disregard that amarok thing [07:09] they just made a cool startup splash [07:10] i've been making a big mistake thruout upgrading the machine thru kubuntu versions [07:10] not having my apt-cache backed up and having to download huge games again n again [07:10] someone suggested aptoncd [07:10] my query... [07:11] is will the packages be compatible in further distro versions? [07:11] dunno dpreacher [07:11] never tried that [07:12] its really a terrible experience to get open arena, warsow, sauerbraten, etc. sort of games every time a new kubuntu comes out...takes a lot of time and the repos in my country are slooww [07:14] one thing that was markedly different was...eh...where's my adept? :) [07:14] !info adept [07:14] adept (source: adept): package management suite for KDE.

[07:15] which led to me discovering kpackagekit for the first time [07:15] dunno if this was there before but here's an important thing [07:16] if kpackagekit was there before, i wonder why wasn't it featured in bold, put on desktop or have outstanding notifications? [07:16] coz for first time on my kubuntu machine, i have a quick way of the system telling me what updates i need immediately [07:17] although i checked it manually, but am so happy to see its there [07:18] hey everyone [07:19] hey shock_day13 [07:19] hey dpreacher wasup [07:21] just demoed a upgrade/install of kubuntu to a small gang of friends at a small cafe, managing to not mess with my system and kubuntu 9.04 installing smoothly.
