| jussi01 | xp-killer: first tell me why you want compiz over kwin? they are pretty close to equal now... | 00:23 |
| Eurysilas | Has anybody here that uses Hardy been able to encode mp3 files? I've tried 3 different solutions, all with some problem. | 00:23 |
| jussi01 | !mp3 | 00:23 |

| xp-killer | jussi01: i no noting of kiwn 1st time ive herd of it.and i just need comppis for the easy zoom nothing else | 00:24 |
| xp-killer | compiz | 00:24 |
| jussi01 | xp-killer: which version are you on? | 00:24 |
| xp-killer | 8.10 | 00:25 |
| jussi01 | hrm I dont remember 8.10 that well... | 00:25 |
| xp-killer | kde | 00:25 |
| jussi01 | and now Im going to bed. | 00:25 |
| JontheEchidna | kde in 8.10 should have a zoom effect | 00:26 |
| jussi01 | but have a look at system settings desktop | 00:26 |
| jussi01 | thanks JontheEchidna :) | 00:26 |
| JontheEchidna | System Settings -> Desktop -> Effects | 00:26 |
| JuJuBee | I just re-arranged my partitions and /home moved from /dev/sdb7 to /dev/sdb6 as a result. Thins seem ok except my panel customization are gone. | 00:26 |
| JuJuBee | All of my apps I added to the panel are missing from panel. | 00:26 |
| Eurysilas | Actually, jussi01, my problem is that ffmpeg seems to not be able to encode MP3 even WITH the appropriate stuff. It does have the "--enable-gpl compiler flag, though, which makes me think it wasn't compiled with MP3 support. | 00:27 |
| xp-killer | JontheEchidna: i dont seee effects | 00:28 |
| JontheEchidna | it should be the first module in the Desktop config part of systemsettings | 00:29 |
| Eurysilas | Let's see....I tried Sound Converter, too....It can't seem to find "decoderbin", some problem with GStreamer, evidently, and lame just plain doesn't seem to be able to handle OGG files, .ogg or .oga. | 00:30 |
| xp-killer | JontheEchidna: nope | 00:30 |
| Eurysilas | So, does anybody know how I'm supposed to be able to encode MP3? I think I've exhausted the main options. | 00:32 |

| ubottu | mandingoceo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - To upgrade to Jaunty (9.04) directly from Hardy (8.04) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades/Kubuntu/8.04 - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 03:11 |
| Dragnslcr | mandingoceo- support for 7.10 ended a couple months ago, so there won't be any new kernel packages for it. You can compile a newer kernel for it, but it usually isn't that simple | 03:11 |
| bazhang | mandingoceo, that version is end of life, you will need to upgrade the entire version not just the kernel, as 7.10 is unsupported now | 03:11 |
| mandingoceo | yeh i know but i have to keep that version, i did compile 2.6.27.14 but my nvidia based chipset mobo wasnt recognized so i was thinking i left something out when selecting what to configure | 03:13 |
| mandingoceo | when compiling, i didnt see anything that said nvidia so not sure what i missed | 03:13 |
| bazhang | 7.10 is supported no longer | 03:14 |

| cmoman4 | Yanick_: Is qtoctave suitable? | 03:25 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: http://qtoctave.wordpress.com/ | 03:29 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, I don't know how that works | 03:37 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, the koctave I installed is a terminal :/ | 03:37 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, I'm not on windows | 03:38 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: qt octave at front end to octave, a program similar to matlab. it runs in kubuntu | 03:39 |
| Yanick_ | I need to plot a function like so : x_{k}=x_{0}+k*h where k is the iterator and h the delta, and y_{k+1}=y_{k}+h*f(x_{k},y_{k}) where y_{x_{0}} = 1 | 03:40 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: susbwoy made the suggestion of koctave which I looked up and noticed its last update was 2006. I know qtoctave is being actively maintained | 03:40 |
| Yanick_ | I installed 4 plotting applications so far, and all have failed to produce that | 03:40 |
| Yanick_ | the reason being that I have absolutely no control over the iterator variable | 03:41 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: well, I am not a maths expert but www.pythonxy.com might offer some more options | 03:41 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, that's the point, I'm not a math expert too | 03:42 |
| mermshaus | did gnuplot fail too? | 03:42 |
| Yanick_ | mermshaus, gnuplot is also a terminal application, I just don't know what to do with it | 03:43 |
| Yanick_ | tutorials (good, and easy) are rare, if not absent from the web. Most information I find don't help at all | 03:43 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: Do you have the ability to install software on your machine and are your running kubuntu? | 03:44 |
| Yanick_ | yes | 03:44 |
| mermshaus | yeah, it's difficult to get started with such applications. it kind of sucks. | 03:44 |
| cmoman4 | sudo apt-get install qtoctave will install qtoctave for you, from there you'll have to start reading up the help documentation. | 03:45 |
| cmoman4 | qtoctave is all gui based so should give you a little more idea of what is going on | 03:45 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, I'll take a look | 03:45 |
| BooVeMan | hi there - question - I deinstalled pulseaudio but still it shows up everywhere in asoundconf in Multimedia (phonon) - How do I make it disapear? | 03:46 |
| cmoman4 | you'll ultimately have to figure you out how to script your maths to suit gtoctave though | 03:46 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, well, it looks like the most complete app i've seen so far (there a variable list, at least) | 03:47 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: figured that might help, another good option is matlibplot which is mathematic plotting library for python | 03:49 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ | 03:49 |
| Yanick_ | cmoman4, yeah, I've seen that.. but I still don't know how to write x_{k}... | 03:50 |
| cmoman4 | Yanick_: yeah , not always easy figuring out how to code maths into scripting languages, good fun when you start making progress though | 03:52 |
| mermshaus | i just read that octave uses gnuplot btw | 03:54 |
| mermshaus | trivia fact of the fay. ;) | 03:54 |

| Werekat | Hey, all. Anyone that can help with a USB moust problem? | 07:15 |
| oobe | werekat google is good for stuff like that | 07:16 |
| Werekat | Been there for a few hours. Maybe you can point me to the right FAQ. | 07:18 |
| anonimous_ | Mamarok: i know it | 07:18 |
| Werekat | If you are willing to read about the problem in detail, of course. | 07:19 |
| Mastercactapus | anybody know of a tool to combine files (merge data where large chunks of 0's are) | 07:19 |
| Mamarok | anonimous_: why did you say "man is not understandable" then? | 07:20 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: which Kubuntu version? | 07:20 |
| anonimous_ | Mamarok: tell me if i can add variables in squid conf | 07:20 |
| anonimous_ | Mamarok: because my english is not well enough | 07:21 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:22 |
| anonimous_ | ^) | 07:22 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: with KDE 4.1.3 I suppose then... | 07:22 |
| anonimous_ | thanx a lot | 07:22 |
| Mamarok | anonimous_: yaw :) | 07:22 |
| Werekat | 4.1.4 It looks like it started after the update. | 07:23 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: you need to add the 'device notifier widget' to the panel | 07:23 |
| Werekat | It's there. | 07:23 |
| Mamarok | and what are the problems then? | 07:23 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: what are the prblems then? | 07:25 |
| Werekat | Basically, the mouse freezes randomly. Xorg.0.log and so on says it can't find the device, and thus closes the settings for it in hal. Then it finds it again, just as randomly. The mouse works on other computers fine, other USB devices (except mice - I've tested 2) work fine. | 07:25 |
| Mamarok | so it's an usb mouse you talk about, right? | 07:25 |
| Werekat | Yes. | 07:25 |
| Mamarok | that should be automounted anyway, as it's not a storing device | 07:26 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: a cordless mouse? | 07:27 |
| Werekat | No. | 07:28 |
| Mamarok | from what you describe I think the usb port has a connection problem, did you try on another usb entry? | 07:29 |
| Werekat | *nods* On both of them available, and other USB devices on them mount fine. | 07:29 |
| Werekat | Looking at the logs, even when everything's "ok" for a while, it finds and mounts the mouse multiple times. If it weren't for the fact that the other devices work OK, I'd say the same. | 07:29 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: what exac mouse is it?, Brand, model number? Google could give you some advide maybe | 07:30 |
| Werekat | Genius model GM-030003 NetScroll + MiniTraveller. Basically, a very generic mouse. | 07:30 |
| Mamarok | if it happens only with this mouse, then the mouse is probably the culprit I would say | 07:31 |
| Werekat | Yesterday another mouse did not work, either. I haven't tested as of today. | 07:31 |
| Werekat | Gah. It looks like it is the USB port. Because if I plug in another anything alongside the dead mouse - just tried a second one to test, and then a flash card - it starts working. | 07:32 |
| Werekat | Sorry for the bother. :( | 07:33 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: can you open and check the connectors eventually? sometimes just a cable think | 07:33 |
| Mamarok | I still suspect the mouse, as it has the same behaviour on the other port, didn't you say that before? | 07:34 |
| Werekat | Yes, it does. Both the ports might be loose, though. | 07:35 |
| Herr_W_aus_A | Hallo | 07:36 |
| Mamarok | hm, check the connectors then | 07:36 |
| Mamarok | hi Herr_W_aus_A | 07:36 |
| Werekat | Opening and checking the connectors - you mean the USB ports, or opening the mouse itself? English isn't my first language either, and especially not tech English. :( | 07:36 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: opening the PC and check the USB ports, yes | 07:37 |
| Werekat | Might be a bit difficult to get into a laptop. But I'll try. Thanks. :) | 07:38 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: hm, yes, but the handbook tells you what you can access | 07:39 |
| Werekat | *nods* Exactly. :) So, signing off. Hopefully, to be back in a while. | 07:39 |
| Guest31765 | any one know the sudo code to get skype? | 07:47 |
| Mamarok | Guest31765: what do you mean, sudo code? | 07:47 |
| Mamarok | where to download Skype from you mean? | 07:48 |
| Guest31765 | by sudo apt-get install | 07:48 |
| Guest31765 | that stuff | 07:48 |
| Mamarok | !Skype | 07:48 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 07:48 |
| Mamarok | Guest31765: check these help pages | 07:48 |
| Guest31765 | what is a repository | 07:49 |
| Mamarok | Guest31765: that is where the packages are stored | 07:51 |
| Guest31765 | well i gotta go | 07:52 |
| Guest31765 | thanks for the info | 07:52 |
| Mamarok | yaw :) | 07:52 |
| Werekat | Mamarok: thanks, that seems to have been the problem. :) | 07:58 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: oh, great! | 08:01 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: it's not uncommon on laptops btw, as those are carried around quite a bit | 08:02 |
| Werekat | *laughs* I didn't really get the chance to carry this one around much yet. But now I'll know what to look for. :) | 08:03 |
| Mamarok | oh, a new one? | 08:03 |
| Mamarok | that's sad, what brand? | 08:04 |
| Werekat | Yeah. Only two weeks or so in operation, and most of that at home. Asus F9. | 08:04 |
| Mamarok | ouch | 08:04 |
| Mamarok | Asus usually is building well, surprising | 08:05 |
| Mamarok | drop them a note, so they check their manufacturing process for POF | 08:05 |
| Werekat | *nods* I will. Is that better to do through the local representation, or maybe through their website? | 08:06 |
| Mamarok | Werekat: no idea, check if there's something on the website | 08:08 |
| Werekat | Looking it up already. Just thought maybe you'd had some experience with their support. :) Anyway, time to go actually get work done - thanks again! | 08:09 |
| Mamarok | never had an Asus, just know the reputation of their builds | 08:10 |

| jussi01 | myself: they are connected and you can choose which one to login to at the login screen. programs will be available in both | 11:34 |

| myself | i just want an RSS feed on my desktop, i mean integrated into the desktop, and people are telling me KDE is better for this | 11:35 |

| Mamarok | myself: systemsettings -> Appearance -> select another color scheme | 12:52 |

| DoctorPepper | can an ext4 partiition be used as /boot on kubuntu 9.04 | 13:04 |
| Mamarok | DoctorPepper: yes, why not? | 13:05 |
| DoctorPepper | i am asking because ive seen a talk by an ext4 developer where it was said that grub wasnt supporting ext4 as a boot partition | 13:08 |
| Mamarok | DoctorPepper: oh, and this is recent? | 13:12 |
| DoctorPepper | in 2009 | 13:14 |
| DoctorPepper | about 4 month ago | 13:15 |
| Mamarok | DoctorPepper: well, I don't know then, as the possibility to convert to ext4 is offered, I would think it's ok, but have to check | 13:16 |
| myself | how do i make it so i can see the files on my desktop in kubuntu | 13:16 |
| myself | i saved something to my desktop but i cant use it | 13:17 |
| myself | i cant see it | 13:17 |
| Mamarok | myself: you mean the files folder widget? | 13:17 |
| myself | i mean so i can see the files that are located in my "Desktop" directory on my desktop | 13:17 |
| Mamarok | myself: you will have to set the folder in the widget to /home/yourname/Desktop | 13:18 |
| myself | its empty, i cant see anything on my desktop | 13:18 |
| myself | how do i do that | 13:18 |
| Mamarok | myself: when you hover over the folder view widget, you get a handle with a tool icon | 13:19 |
| Mamarok | click there and set the view to the desktop folder | 13:19 |
| valgaav_ | DoctorPepper: I'm using ext4 on my jaunty box and have no separate ext3 partition for boot ... so yes GRUB in ubuntu is patched so that it can run from ext4 | 13:19 |
| myself | what is the folder view widget | 13:19 |
| DoctorPepper | valgaav_: thank you | 13:19 |
| Mamarok | myself: it is visible by the default in the upper left of your screen | 13:20 |
| myself | wait im confused, i click the "start menu" type thing? | 13:21 |
| myself | and do what? | 13:22 |
| myself | :) | 13:22 |
| Mamarok | myself: look at your desktop, there is a widget in the upper left corner, showing some content | 13:22 |
| Deepthought | I managed to mess up the package system by trying to install compiz; it also messed kwin, and I can' t get the broken package-manager to fix it. | 13:23 |
| Mamarok | myself: which by default shwos you the desktop folder | 13:23 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: edit the sources.list by hand then and correct it | 13:23 |
| myself | theres a thing only in the upper right corner | 13:23 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, ?!? | 13:24 |
| Mamarok | myself: so you removed what was on the screen by default? | 13:24 |
| myself | i didn't remove it | 13:24 |
| myself | it did it on its own >:) | 13:24 |
| Mamarok | myself: you are running KDE4, right? | 13:24 |

| Deepthought | Mamarok, no, just used the package manager and the knowledge from several forums and earlier versions onf KDE that it can use compiz. Anyway, it' s not a compiz problem I believe but a ***-up of the package manager | 13:29 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: then use the command line, I can tell you how | 13:29 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: and watch your language... | 13:29 |

| Deepthought | Mamarok, a whole bunch of dependency-stuff, compiz not installed, and an error-code (1) | 13:32 |
| myself | so i have all my ubuntu stuff too | 13:32 |
| Mamarok | myself: that doesn't matter, it's a different Desktop environnment | 13:32 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: please put it in a pastebin and give the link here | 13:32 |
| myself | i see i should probably have different desktop folders for KDE and the other one heh | 13:32 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, please remind me on pastebin ? | 13:32 |
| Mamarok | !paste | Deepthought | 13:33 |
| ubottu | Deepthought: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 13:33 |
| Mamarok | there you go :) | 13:33 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | any help guys with my wifi thing :| | 13:33 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: I can't really help, you will have to wait till somebody else steps in | 13:34 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: you did google and search the forums, didn't you? | 13:34 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/190263/ | 13:35 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | yea, i did search google | 13:35 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, I kenw that, just needed the adress | 13:35 |
| === natschil_ is now known as natschil | ||
| Deepthought | Mamarok, hope the dutch doesn't throw ya off | 13:36 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: you seem to have quite some dependency problems, what version of Kubuntu are you using? | 13:36 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: I can read it ok :) | 13:36 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, fout=error, vereisten=dependencies, instellen=configure, | 13:37 |
| Mamarok | and apt-get error outputs look the same in all languages with european characters :) | 13:37 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: you seem to have quite some dependency problems, what version of Kubuntu are you using? | 13:37 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, jaunty | 13:37 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: anything else you added to the default repositories? | 13:37 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | Mamarok: i am not very expert with google, but when i try to search "kubuntu 9.04 kde 4.2.4 broadcom bcm4322" | 13:38 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | Mamarok: its only show one result and thats not in english | 13:39 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, And I' ve noticed... have a serial ATA and parallel ATA, partitions spread among all three drives on both, sometimes after standby one drive on pATA doesn' t re-initiate; probably sourc of problem ... | 13:39 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, no extra repo''s, just the dedaults including restricted | 13:39 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: I am puzzled, because those dependency problems come from Gnome, do you have an older Gnome version lingering somewhere? | 13:40 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, nope, and it puzzles me too, 'cause I couldn' t see the sense in installi g all this gnome stuff when I ticked compiz; it's a totally fresh jaunty kubuntu alternate install | 13:41 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, with some extra installs | 13:42 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, all within kpackage | 13:42 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: you should eventually ask in #ubuntu if there are known dependency problems in the official repos | 13:45 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: wait, I'll show you something: | 13:45 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, and how would I phrase that ? | 13:45 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: http://myriam.kollide.net/googlesearch_bcm4322.png | 13:46 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: I get 742 matches, there must be something somewhere... | 13:46 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, and how would it give me info I could use how ? (I' m totally lost here, as you can pobably tell) | 13:47 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: paste the output you showed me, btw there also is a #ubuntu-nl where they can all read Dutch :) | 13:47 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, yeah, but it's not that crowded... | 13:47 |
| sil3nt|warri0r | Mamarok: "the page not found on this server" | 13:47 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, or knowledgable | 13:47 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: I strongly suspect some repository problems, maybe in your local mirror | 13:48 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: oops, sorry, second... | 13:48 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, I usually end up being the guru over there.. ;-) | 13:48 |
| Mamarok | sil3nt|warri0r: http://myriam.kollide.net/googlesearch_bcn4322.png it was a typo | 13:48 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, but I' m using the international repo, because the dutch has all sortsa stuuf missing ! | 13:49 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: the main server? | 13:49 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, yep | 13:49 |
| Deepthought | lemme check though | 13:49 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: then do a sudo apt-get update, just to see if you get errors | 13:49 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, no errors, and it's all http://archive.ubuntu.com, that' s main, right >? | 13:50 |
| Mamarok | yes, that's main | 13:51 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, it does have some stances saying ' neglected' | 13:51 |
| Deepthought | (in dutch) | 13:52 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: ask in #ubuntu, pasting your output, there is something wrong in the Gnome repos | 13:52 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: those are the US translation sources :) | 13:52 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, will do, thanx | 13:52 |
| Mamarok | which never existed, btw :) | 13:52 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, just to be clear, how would I phrase my question ? | 13:53 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: well, tell them you wanted to install compiz and that's the result you got | 13:53 |
| myself | how do i add a system tray to the top of my screen? | 13:53 |
| myself | im a little nublet forever | 13:53 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, eh, but it' s the result from remove comiz ?! should I maybe try reinstall and paste that output ? | 13:54 |
| Mamarok | myself: right click on the desktop, Add panel | 13:54 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: oh, wait, that's what I didn't get :) | 13:54 |
| Mamarok | yes, try reinstalling it | 13:54 |
| Deepthought | ok | 13:55 |
| myself | how do i move the digital clock? | 13:55 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: btw, using the command line for package installation is always easier | 13:55 |
| Mamarok | myself: click and drag? | 13:55 |
| myself | the widget on the panek | 13:55 |
| myself | panel | 13:55 |
| Mamarok | myself: I stringly suggest you try before asking... | 13:55 |
| myself | i did | 13:55 |
| myself | of course | 13:55 |
| myself | clicked every mosue button | 13:55 |
| Tscheesy_ | mysel unlock the Plasmoids first | 13:55 |
| Mamarok | oh, you wnat to add it to the panel? | 13:55 |
| myself | well its on the panel | 13:56 |
| myself | but i want to drag it to the right corner | 13:56 |
| myself | its in the center | 13:56 |
| Mamarok | Tscheesy_: those are not locked AFAIK | 13:56 |
| Tscheesy_ | click on the panels-cashew-nut then | 13:56 |
| Mamarok | myself: there is a cashew shaped icon on the lower panel, click on it, then you can move things on the top panel too | 13:56 |
| myself | i see cool, thanks | 13:57 |
| myself | also how do i install themes i downloaded | 13:57 |
| myself | color themes etc | 13:57 |
| myself | well | 13:57 |
| myself | not color, but actual themes | 13:57 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, if you know the exact package name that is | 13:57 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: sudo apt-get install compiz | 13:57 |
| Tscheesy_ | myself: open the Plasmoids-Menu - on the lower-end is a Menu - please Try yourself first bevor asking | 13:58 |
| myself | hey its wierd, i keep dragging the digital clock to a corrner, but it goes right back to the center whe ni let go | 13:58 |
| Mamarok | myself: themes are added in the system settings, but you need to have them compiled against KDE4 to work... | 13:58 |
| Mamarok | myself: umlock the widgets? | 13:59 |
| myself | yeah well this is a KDE theme | 13:59 |
| myself | they are not locked | 13:59 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, yeah, that one's easy, but they're not all like that... anyway, you' re pobably right about the repo; get a load of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/190274/ | 13:59 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, think I' ll head over to #ubuntu now and hit them with the paste... | 13:59 |
| Tscheesy_ | myself: then ther's no space left - ther where you try to place it .. please make further tries | 13:59 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, the sticky paste... ;-) | 14:00 |
| myself | theres space..... | 14:00 |
| myself | theres nothing there | 14:00 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: good idea, there really is something wrong with their dependencies :) | 14:00 |
| Tscheesy_ | myself: may you try with other plasmoids | 14:01 |
| Mamarok | myself: did you follow instructions on techbase.kde.org on how to make a theme? | 14:01 |
| myself | it was a theme i downloaded | 14:01 |
| myself | well, hold on | 14:01 |
| myself | i wanan figure out how to just put the clock in the corner | 14:01 |
| myself | lol | 14:01 |
| myself | its wierd, i mean theres space there | 14:01 |
| myself | but it wont move | 14:01 |
| myself | it just goes back to the center | 14:02 |
| myself | after i move it | 14:02 |
| myself | whyyyy | 14:02 |
| Mamarok | myself: what exact KDE version do you have? | 14:02 |
| myself | 9.04 | 14:02 |
| myself | i installed it from ubuntu | 14:02 |
| Mamarok | that's the Kubuntu version, but the KDE4 version? | 14:03 |
| Mamarok | 4.2.2? | 14:03 |
| myself | probably | 14:03 |
| myself | the latest one | 14:03 |
| myself | i got it like 2 hours ago | 14:03 |
| Mamarok | myself: on the panel cashe, go to more settings | 14:03 |
| Mamarok | cashew* | 14:03 |
| Mamarok | change the Panel alignment | 14:04 |
| myself | yeah i want the clock on the right | 14:04 |
| myself | lol | 14:05 |
| myself | it crashed | 14:05 |
| myself | okay well wierd | 14:05 |
| Mamarok | myself: and you only have the clock there? | 14:05 |
| myself | yeah | 14:05 |
| myself | clock and desktop | 14:05 |
| myself | so i align it to right | 14:05 |
| Mamarok | myself: why not just add this widget to the desktop, on the upper right? | 14:06 |
| Mamarok | you do not need a panel for that... | 14:06 |
| myself | would be nice for windows not to overlap it | 14:06 |
| myself | when i maximize | 14:06 |
| jussi01 | How does one mount .mdf files? | 14:06 |
| Mamarok | myself: drag the lower panel to the top and add it there? | 14:06 |
| myself | yeah when i add the clock to the bottom, it does go in the corner | 14:07 |
| France1159 | Hello everyone | 14:07 |
| myself | cause theres a bunch of other stuff | 14:07 |
| Deepthought | is there a way to do a reinstall without losing all my extra installed programs ? (I have a separate usr partition; maybe a similar thng to home with the settings ispossible ?) | 14:08 |
| Mamarok | myself: remove the clock and add it back again once you have everything set, it will go to the right | 14:08 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: a separate /home partition you mean? | 14:08 |
| France1159 | someone use Kopete for the MSN protocol ? I'm asking that because i want a similar module to MSN Plus! in order to have in my contact list my nickname from friends. | 14:08 |
| myself | how do i add a systray widget? i want the systray widget to be on top | 14:09 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: the only way not to loose extra programs would be to create a separate /opt partition and install the programs there | 14:09 |
| Mamarok | myself: add it... | 14:09 |
| myself | oh dfound it | 14:09 |
| tsimpson | jussi01: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion#mdf2iso | 14:10 |
| Mamarok | myself: you really should try a bit by yourself, I am sure most of this you could find out by <ourself if you wanted to... | 14:10 |
| Tscheesy_ | myself: Please look in the Add-Plasmoids Menu in the top-Right Cashew and get familiar with these you can put your own Panel together with these | 14:10 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, that too, but I was thinking, maybe having a separate usr could give an otion to have all the extra installed programs to stick around as well (I did reinstalls with all my settings intact due to my separatre home, and since all extra' s get installed in usr I thought maybe there' s a way to have them stick around as well ?) | 14:11 |
| myself | you mean add widgets? whats a plasmoids | 14:11 |
| Tscheesy_ | please play a bit with these | 14:11 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, by the way, no response yet on ubuntu | 14:11 |
| myself | so is there a way to resize the system tray? | 14:12 |
| myself | its huge | 14:12 |
| Tscheesy_ | please try yourself with the Panels-Cashew | 14:12 |
| Mamarok | Tscheesy_: those are called widgets since quite some time, no more plasmoïds :) | 14:12 |
| myself | i seem to only be able to move it | 14:12 |
| myself | not resize it | 14:12 |
| Tscheesy_ | k :) | 14:12 |
| Tscheesy_ | myself: you will find it | 14:13 |
| myself | find what | 14:13 |
| Mamarok | myself: no need to think aloud... | 14:13 |
| myself | like it doesnt behave like a resizable thing | 14:13 |
| myself | im asking you how to resize it cause it does not seem to be able to be resize | 14:13 |
| myself | d | 14:13 |
| Mamarok | myself: right click on it, we have told you at least ten times already you can find out things with a right click on it... | 14:13 |
| myself | there are no right click options for resize | 14:14 |
| Tscheesy_ | how to resize a window? by its Borders | 14:14 |
| myself | yeah im only able to move it, not resize it | 14:14 |
| myself | even when i click the corner | 14:14 |
| Mamarok | brb, later | 14:15 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, hm... interesting.. How would that work ? could i give an extra parameter to apt-get to get all my important extra's to install into opt or something like that ? and how would the new install know about those progs then ? and put them in the menu ? | 14:15 |
| Tscheesy_ | yeah - on the cashw whts then ? myself | 14:15 |
| Tscheesy_ | please look at this a bit | 14:15 |
| myself | well at least i am able to resize the entire panel | 14:15 |
| Tscheesy_ | i really would recomment to play tith the widget settings | 14:16 |
| Tscheesy_ | -t+w | 14:16 |
| Tscheesy_ | Deepthought: google will lead you to many Forum-Threads how to save a list of your installed packages and further tipps. | 14:17 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: but if those are from the regular repositories, th installation doesn't tak much time | 14:17 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: there is a possibility to get a list of all installed packages, save it and reuse it to reinstall with the same configuration | 14:18 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, you mean like automagic ? how ? | 14:19 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: I always do it with the synaptic package manger, haven't seen the option it in another one yet | 14:20 |
| * Tscheesy_ thinks(automagix is evil) | 14:20 | |
| xp-killer | omg i love linux | 14:20 |
| Deepthought | myself, if you get the opytions from the panel there' s an option there that says ' hight' , click it and be amazed and satisfied ! | 14:20 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: ? | 14:20 |
| Deepthought | I have synaptic; where' s the option / | 14:21 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, that was a tip o myself | 14:21 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: go to the installed packages, then click on the packageview and select all (Ctrl+A does the trick) | 14:22 |
| myself | im sorry for all the hassle | 14:22 |
| myself | oh | 14:22 |
| myself | hieight is it | 14:22 |
| myself | awesome | 14:22 |
| myself | thanky ou! | 14:22 |
| myself | yyou | 14:22 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: then go to the Menu File - Generate a download script | 14:22 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, eh, how do I go to installed packages ? | 14:23 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: Status (on the lower left) -> installed packages | 14:23 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, aha 1 | 14:23 |
| Deepthought | ! | 14:23 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, that is sooooooo coooool ! | 14:24 |
| myself | hmm height is kind of it, i mean, itll make it smaller, but only if it makes it taller | 14:24 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, and how do i get it in then on my new install ? | 14:24 |
| Mamarok | myself: there is a minimum size of the panel, else you don't see the content | 14:25 |
| Deepthought | myself, <?!? | 14:25 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: it's a script, so you can just execute it | 14:25 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, as in click it ? | 14:25 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: no, you can load it in synaptic on the other computer | 14:26 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, or some sh . thing ? | 14:26 |
| Mamarok | Menu option File -> add downloaded packages | 14:26 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, ok, wich menu-item ? | 14:27 |
| Deepthought | read in markings ? (bad translation, anyway, top of the file-menu | 14:28 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, or ' add downloaded packages' | 14:28 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: read what I wrote above :) | 14:30 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, ? | 14:30 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, I got the making the script, but how do I import it in synaptic in the new install ? | 14:31 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: 15:26 < Mamarok> Menu option File -> add downloaded packages | 14:31 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, ok ! YOu just made my life a whole lot easier.... Thanxalot ! (one of the knights of the round Ubuntu-table) | 14:32 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: just check it really did generate a list, sometimes this seems to be a tad buggy | 14:33 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, one more question thoug: how big is the chance that if I make this script and do a reinstall (no solution could be faster probably then just doing that, especially with that script) that I inherit the rpoblem ? Or is there some error-checking in that proces ? | 14:34 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: well, you shouldn't do this with your actuall configuration... | 14:35 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, ehh ? | 14:35 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, as if I have more then one ? | 14:35 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: you have lots of broken links in there, you shouldn't use that | 14:36 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: or were you able to repair the compiz stuff? | 14:36 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, so just start fresh )...again... sigh...) ? | 14:36 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: come on, it takes maximum 30 minutes, and don't reformat your /home partition :) | 14:37 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: last time I had to install and update a Windows Vista, it took me like 10 hours, and there was nothing more than Vista... | 14:37 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, I know, but getting all the extra's takes osme more time... noit a big sweat really, but it' s only the xxx' d time... | 14:37 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: well, you sure you need all these extras, really? | 14:38 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: how many packages have you installed currently? | 14:38 |
| Deepthought | thought the script thing would save lotsa time, but the again, it will in the future, every working config i' ll make that script, so I will have only one step lost in the future if something goes wrong again... so thanxagain... | 14:38 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: how many packages do you have installed? | 14:39 |
| Mamarok | total count I mean? | 14:39 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, yep, firefox, thunderbird, xchat (another problem; lost my channellist in quassel, can' t get it back), and of course the studio-package, and I can' t remember what else, you' re right, it' s no big drama ads long as my home-part stayz... | 14:40 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: could you answer my question please? | 14:40 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, oh yeah, the arcade-games like torn and sauerbraten and doom etc (still have windoze for the real games though... ;-)) | 14:41 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, oh, sorry, how can I check that ? | 14:41 |
| Mamarok | *sigh* | 14:41 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: in the baseline of synaptic | 14:41 |
| Deepthought | ok | 14:41 |
| Deepthought | 1234 | 14:42 |
| Deepthought | eheheh | 14:42 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, noot my fault; dependencies, eh ? | 14:42 |
| Mamarok | dependencies? | 14:42 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, funny thing, it sez no packages broken, still experience sez different... | 14:43 |
| Mamarok | but 1234 is not much for an installation | 14:43 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: those are not exactly broken, the dependencies have conflicting informations | 14:43 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, 's what I thought, had much more before | 14:43 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, aha | 14:43 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: well, you only have Kubuntu now, right? | 14:43 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, yep | 14:43 |
| Mamarok | and you didn't add all the KDE packages available, didn't you? | 14:44 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, ? | 14:44 |
| Mamarok | I have 2167 packages, which is all KDE4 packages + dev environnement + some -dbg packages too | 14:44 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: if you go through the repsoitories and search for KDE4, you have a lot more than what comes with a basic installation :) | 14:45 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, I just go for what I need, and when it suggests installing a lotta gnome stuff I look again for an alternative, so apart form the compiz (wich dragged all that gnome stuff) I didn' t install anything that had more than a few 'normal' dependencies | 14:46 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, good suggestion | 14:46 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: if you are patient, Kwin comes with a lot more options in KDE 4.3 btw, like exploding windows, etc | 14:46 |
| Deepthought | 'll keep that in mind | 14:46 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: and you do not need Compiz, unless you really want some particular features, but then you need to change the default windowmanager from Kwin to Compiz | 14:48 |
| sergio | alguem aí fala portugues ? | 14:48 |
| Mamarok | !pt | sergio | 14:48 |
| ubottu | sergio: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 14:48 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, maybe I should do just that, ' t was just a little bit of experimental thing, not really a neccesity; but I 'd come to expect (k)ubuntu to not crash on installing stuff, maybe I was wrong, or maybe if I want that sorta behaviour I should stick to the long-support versions... | 14:48 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, the real problem is that the compiz-exp made my kwin run'n'hide, I can' t reactivate it... | 14:49 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: well, stick with what you need really, because everythin which is not part of KDE will a) not look that good in the first place and b) drags you a lot of external stuff you will rarely need anyway | 14:49 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, I' m not even sure wich is running my desktop now... :-) | 14:50 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: that might well be related to the x drivers of your graphic gard anyway, Compiz would not work neither then | 14:50 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: go to systemsettings -> Desktop and check | 14:50 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, makes a lotta sense... I have room left on a drive, think I' ll make an extyra install so I don' t mmess up my home-office everytime I try something... | 14:51 |
| Mamarok | that is indeed a very good idea, so you have a working environnement and an experimental one | 14:51 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, check wheere exactly ? | 14:51 |
| Mamarok | btw, you can very well use other stuff in a VirtualBox btw | 14:52 |
| Mamarok | -btw | 14:52 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, also a good idea | 14:52 |
| RurouniJones | Anyone know a list of linux friendly PCI wireless cards? | 14:54 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, just get in effect-settings, no mention of wich winmang | 14:55 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: can you click the Enavle Desktop effects button? | 14:56 |
| Mamarok | Enable | 14:56 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: you din't edit any environnement settings to add compiz instead of Kwind, didn't you? | 14:56 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, yeah, but after a few x-resets it gives a kwin-error... so i guess that answers my question, right ? | 14:56 |
| Mamarok | as this is not set automatically | 14:57 |
| Mamarok | what Kwin error? | 14:57 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, nope | 14:57 |
| Mamarok | hence you still have Kwin running | 14:57 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, oh, wait, now it doesn' t give a kwin error, just mentions it an' t initiate in these settings; let' s trrrry putting it to defaults | 14:58 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, keeps refusing... sez something about try to disable compositing | 14:59 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, but I didn' t do anything in that area | 15:00 |
| Mamarok | Deepthought: does it say something about not enough memory or CPU speed or such? | 15:00 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, eh, well, I did install compiz-icon, and at one point or another I activated it and changed to compiz, but I don' t believe it stuck... ohhh... it' s a mess, maybe I should just reinstall... seperate home has been my saviour before, will be again... and than xto you , next time the synaptic-script will be as well (still, I think I' ve definitely learned not to experiment with my day-to-day-system... | 15:02 |
| Deepthought | Mamarok, absolutely not; p4 3.2 MZ, 2 Gbyte and 4 Gbyte in two partitions swap | 15:05 |
| ahmad | hi: what is the tool that i can use to join kubuntu station to MS domain | 15:05 |

| ahmad | lorin: sudo apt-get install firefox | 15:07 |
| lorin | okay, thanks | 15:07 |

| xp-killer | ign0ramus: lol sorry | 16:02 |
| p_ | <ign0ramus> ima try the second way, i didn't have the time yet; tell you later | 16:03 |

| p_ | it just dl lots of files / updates | 16:05 |
| ign0ramus | p_, so you managed to edit your file and save it? | 16:06 |
| p_ | <ign0ramus> i dunno, it crashed anyway | 16:06 |

| uga | ign0ramus: man pages aren't the most user friendly documentatoin round... | 16:10 |
| uga | s/round/around | 16:10 |
| p_ | <ign0ramus> i understood the principle, but in the tutos they mainly don't explain the pragmatic ang simple things. but i'm on the help page | 16:11 |
| ign0ramus | uga, agreed, but all the syntax is there. there's only so much people on irc can do... i can't explain APT in a few short lines. reading is fundamental | 16:11 |
| p_ | right | 16:11 |
| ign0ramus | p_, ok, you said you wanted to install cinepaint. do: "sudo apt-get install cinepaint" | 16:11 |
| ign0ramus | p_, now that you've uncommented out sources, the package should be available to download | 16:12 |
| uga | ign0ramus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto | 16:12 |
| uga | better than man pages =) | 16:12 |
| uga | it's hard to explain that [] means optional to the average user =) | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | or | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | !apt | 16:12 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | uga, ... :) | 16:13 |
| uga | heh | 16:13 |
| uga | actually I believe that irc shouldnt' be the starting point of kubuntu users | 16:14 |
| uga | they all know instant messaging. irc is just too complex for first timers | 16:14 |
| p_ | man, i was born in the eighties, even on w98 we used emule ircs | 16:15 |
| p_ | its a cultural object now | 16:15 |
| p_ | quite geek, even if i dont like this term | 16:15 |
| ign0ramus | uga, for the younger crowd, maybe... us older folks lived on irc back in the baud/dial-up days :) | 16:16 |
| uga | ign0ramus: you dare teach irc to your mom? =) | 16:16 |
| ign0ramus | uga, I label Firefox "Internet"on the desktop for my mom ;) | 16:16 |
| uga | lol | 16:16 |
| uga | we live in a world where you tell people... "you'll find it at www.foo.org" and they go google and type in www.foo.org in the search entry | 16:17 |
| uga | internet == google, messaging == msn, and e-mail == outlook. | 16:17 |
| uga | the day google changes name, they're dead | 16:18 |
| p_ | quite rite | 16:18 |
| ign0ramus | uga, haha... someone here the other day was complaining about the help we were giving, because "sudo apt-get install whatever" isn't a valid web site :P | 16:18 |
| uga | hehehe | 16:18 |
| uga | ign0ramus: there should be some default jabber channel that every user gets connected to, when starting the desktop first time | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, :>) | 16:20 |
| uga | and remote control capability =) | 16:20 |
| ign0ramus | uga, would save me some frustration, that's for sure :) | 16:20 |
| p_ | is it possible to link an arduino board to enter porg in it through kubuntu? | 16:20 |
| * uga wonders what an arduino is | 16:21 | |
| p_ | (found it). | 16:21 |
| ign0ramus | uga, http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage | 16:21 |
| p_ | its a microcontroller card | 16:21 |
| BluesKaj | uga, I find IM more complicated than irc ....but I guess I'm a bit old school | 16:21 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, irc has all kinds of syntax commands for functionality, but IM has awesome smilies! | 16:22 |
| p_ | hey excuse me all once againe, but i just realized i dont have any synaptic-like prog | 16:23 |
| ign0ramus | p_, you don't need one, but you can do "sudo apt-get install synaptic" if you want | 16:23 |
| p_ | thanks | 16:23 |
| ign0ramus | p_, you can substitute 'synaptic' with 'adept', 'kpackagekit' or whatever, but they're all just calling APT commands you can issue yourself | 16:24 |
| uga | ign0ramus: uh, atmega. never used that architecture | 16:24 |
| ign0ramus | uga, me neither, but it seems intriguing | 16:24 |
| p_ | kpackagekit is my default but im afraid of minimal interfaces | 16:24 |
| ign0ramus | p_, imho, synaptic is the best frontend, but i've weened myself of the gui apps altogether. APT from cli is *awesome* | 16:25 |
| ign0ramus | *off | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, oh yeah ..can't forget them smilies ! | 16:26 |
| uga | ign0ramus: old pic, x52, arm and coldfire cover all my needs. No space for more ;) | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | I use adept and synaptic mainly for finding the correct syntax and names of apps/libs | 16:27 |
| p_ | and, at last, maybe i can walk quite alone tonite. is there anything spec to do with the command line to dl the apt with the web browser? | 16:27 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, "apt-get search <query>" or "sudo apt-get install <beginning_of_app_name>" + TAB button work excellent | 16:28 |
| ShinyDoofy | hi | 16:28 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, "apt-cache search" * | 16:29 |
| ShinyDoofy | i have an encrypted partition on my laptop (dm-crypt, reiserfs behind that) and wanted to install kubuntu 9.10 alpha 1 on a different partition | 16:29 |
| ShinyDoofy | can the installer handle that or will it shoot down my data? | 16:29 |
| ShinyDoofy | http://img3.abload.de/img/100_2799bjq1.jpg | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, ign0ramus thanks for the tip ...do those cmnds cover all the bases so to speak ? | 16:29 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, not just those 2, but again, the gui's are just using APT commands you can do yourself | 16:29 |
| ShinyDoofy | i didn't change anything i just told it to take that partition as encrypted, everything else was automatically filled in | 16:29 |

| ign0ramus | solifugus, i recommend wicd | 16:36 |
| solifugus | ign0ramus: yeah.. well, i need python 2.5 for Google App Engine | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | network manager widget, solifugus | 16:36 |
| solifugus | I am one by one, still discovering apps I no longer have.. | 16:38 |
| solifugus | like, Adept.. | 16:38 |
| p_ | ok, thanks for all. see you next time | 16:40 |
| ign0ramus | p_, cheers | 16:40 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, some of the apps have been replaced. you can still install adept if you'd like. | 16:40 |
| solifugus | ign0ramus: what replaces adept? | 16:41 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, kpackagekit | 16:41 |
| en1gma | sup all | 16:41 |
| en1gma | im following a guide and it says i need this "Standard C++ runtime library development" and this "Standard C runtime library development" | 16:41 |
| solifugus | ok... how to you use wicd? (I don't have firefox back yet) | 16:41 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, honestly, i don't like either, but i abhor kpackagekit | 16:41 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, easiest way is to restart X, and it will initialize automatically, and then just set your encryption stuff, etc | 16:42 |
| solifugus | ok.. yeah.. I don't particularly like adept, either.. but.. sometimes easier than looking through apt-cache search results | 16:42 |
| solifugus | ok | 16:42 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, if you're going to use a gui, i still think synaptic is the most complete and intuitive, even though it is gtk | 16:43 |
| solifugus | the only two gui apps I didn't have to re-install so far were skype and openoffice | 16:43 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, also, you'll find the adept in kde4 is sorely lacking (much different than kde 3 version), and very crash-y | 16:44 |
| folkslave | when I open myspace page it doesnt open playlist | 16:44 |
| ign0ramus | folkslave, that's not really a 'kubuntu' support question, per se.... | 16:44 |
| ign0ramus | folkslave, if its something like a Flash issue, that can be troubleshot here, but myspace functionality isn't covered very extensively here | 16:45 |
| petsounds | hello, yesterday i'm asking about msn substitute in linux and the answer is aMSN, thanks to aMSN i'm now able to view my friend cam even she is using W. now the Q is what is substitute for Yahoo Messenger in Linux so i'm able to view webcam from W user. thank you | 16:46 |
| ign0ramus | petsounds, kopete or pidgin | 16:46 |
| ign0ramus | petsounds, although i'm not sure if pidgin implemented webcam support yet | 16:46 |
| solifugus | ign0ramus: yes.. I am still in disarray about how messed up kde 4 was.. not the bugs so much as some of the design decisions.. | 16:46 |
| petsounds | ign0ramus: that's not work | 16:46 |
| ign0ramus | petsounds, what's not work | 16:47 |
| solifugus | it's the first time I ever thought about switching to gnome.. briefly.. | 16:47 |
| petsounds | ign0ramus: both kopete and pidgin | 16:47 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, nooooo! kde 4 is still progressing (pretty quickly, too) | 16:47 |
| ign0ramus | petsounds, if you say an app "doesn't work", that is possibly the most vague way to describe your issue | 16:48 |
| solifugus | I've been using kde since 1.0 | 16:48 |
| solifugus | on a daily basis | 16:48 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, well then you recall some of the major upgrades to kde that weren't exactly warmly received then ;) | 16:49 |
| sebastian_ | hi | 16:49 |
| sebastian_ | im a linux newb and need somebody who can answer some simple questions | 16:49 |
| petsounds | ign0ramus: what i'm trying to say is both kopete and pidgin can't receive webcam invitation (apologize for my bad english) | 16:49 |
| solifugus | ign0ramus: sure.. none compared to this, though... kde 3 is so well refined... 1.0 to 2.0 was just light bumps.. less with 2.0 to 3.0.. | 16:50 |
| sebastian_ | its would be very nice if someone has got little time | 16:50 |
| ign0ramus | solifugus, i agree that this is a pretty major jump, that probably wasn't completely ready, but people were always complaining about the x.0 versions | 16:50 |
| sebastian_ | nobody? :( | 16:51 |
| uga | ign0ramus: 3.0 turned out much better iirc | 16:51 |
| uga | given that it wasn't that much of a jump from 2.x, compared to 4.x | 16:51 |
| ign0ramus | !ask | sebastian_ | 16:52 |
| ubottu | sebastian_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:52 |
| sebastian_ | okay | 16:52 |
| sebastian_ | thx | 16:52 |
| ign0ramus | uga, solifugus, i agree. but kde 4 is the first one that you can show to a windows/mac person, and honestly impress them... i think the idea was to modernize and polish kde, but i wish they'd have put function before form :( | 16:52 |
| uga | ign0ramus: I think the mistake was in releasing 4.0 | 16:53 |
| uga | but that's just mho, confronted to many | 16:54 |
| solifugus | ign0ramus: Yes.. and actually, people I've introduced kde too get kde 3.0 a lot better than kde 4.0 -- its gone down a notch in usability | 16:54 |
| uga | I have to disagree on usability part, but well, each got their own opinion on that | 16:54 |
| ign0ramus | uga, agreed. 4.0 was kind of a disaster... not from a developer's standpoint, but the fact that it was being pushed by certain (ahem) distros. I'm on 4.2.3, and I find it passably reliable | 16:55 |
| sebastian_ | i wanted to install JRE via apt-get funktion in the terminal. i had to accept a license but i didnt know which key i have to use so i killed the process. then i tried another way (via downloaded.bin) -> warnings... | 16:55 |
| sebastian_ | i cant install | 16:55 |
| sebastian_ | i dont understand the error | 16:55 |
| solifugus | my understanding is that this was to provide infrastructure enabling it to be eventually have all those fancy 3D effects as with Berryl (or however you spell it) | 16:55 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, from terminal, press the right arrow key to go to "OK" | 16:55 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, to accept the license agreement | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | ahh okay thx | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | but i cant reinstall :D | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | theres an error | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, what's the error? | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | can i paste? | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, if it's 2 lines or less | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | ok | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | mom | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, else, use pastebin | 16:56 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, i'm not your mom | 16:56 |
| sebastian_ | ok | 16:56 |

| asraniel_ | hello, what can i do if the networkmanager wideget does not connect to the wireless network? but always asks me again after 1-2 minutes for the password? | 16:58 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, install wicd (my .02) | 16:58 |
| asraniel_ | ign0ramus: but then there is no GUI, and i need a gui for my gf, and it worked always very good until today | 16:59 |
| sebastian_ | http://nopaste.codersnet.org/pastes.php?view=253 ign0ramus | 16:59 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, what command spit out that error | 17:00 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, what do you mean "there is no GUI" ? | 17:00 |
| sebastian_ | i used the packet installer | 17:00 |
| sebastian_ | package | 17:00 |
| sebastian_ | dont know the right word | 17:00 |
| sebastian_ | my english is bad | 17:00 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, what was the command that spit out this error? | 17:00 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, in french it's "paquet", which in english, is "package" | 17:01 |
| sebastian_ | hmmm | 17:01 |
| asraniel_ | ign0ramus: i don't know, do you need the command line to connect/manage your connections? | 17:01 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, no. you can, but not necessary. wicd comes with a very intuitive gui | 17:01 |
| asraniel_ | ign0ramus: great to hear. So i install wicd, remove the networkmanager widget and i'm all set? | 17:02 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, installing wicd will auto-remove networkmanager and widget | 17:02 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, so... yes. :) | 17:02 |
| asraniel_ | ign0ramus: your my hero ;) thx | 17:02 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, don't thank me until everything works! :) | 17:02 |
| asraniel_ | ign0ramus: one last question, does wicd save the wireless passwords? i imagine it does not use kwallet | 17:03 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, yes, it stores passwords, and can auto-connect if you so choose. | 17:03 |
| ign0ramus | asraniel_, sometimes, people have issues initializing it once installed... if that's the case, just restart X, and it will begin the daemon automatically | 17:04 |
| sebastian_ | je ne sais pas parler le francais bien ign0ramus :D i just doubleclicked on the .rpm package and wnated to install | 17:04 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, oh, sorry, thought you were french because you're calling them 'packets'... but you don't want to install .rpm packages | 17:05 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, Ubuntu packages are .deb packages | 17:05 |
| sebastian_ | hmm | 17:05 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, let's start over... what are you trying to install? | 17:05 |
| sebastian_ | JRE | 17:05 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" | 17:06 |
| jsoko | ?? can I just jump in with a question or is there a queue? | 17:06 |
| luis_ | Hello | 17:06 |
| ign0ramus | jsoko, you are number one in queue. please ask your question now. | 17:06 |
| luis_ | I have a question ... I'm just after jsoko ?? | 17:07 |
| jsoko | Thx. I'm getting ready to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 and i don't want to use adept to do it - last few times I used it to d/l pkgs, it failed. What else can I use? | 17:07 |
| ign0ramus | luis_, you are also number one in queue. please ask your question now. | 17:07 |
| ign0ramus | jsoko, Alternate Install CD | 17:07 |
| sebastian_ | ign0ramus do you speak german? :) | 17:07 |
| ign0ramus | !upgrade | jsoko | 17:08 |
| ubottu | jsoko: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - To upgrade to Jaunty (9.04) directly from Hardy (8.04) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades/Kubuntu/8.04 - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 17:08 |
| sebastian_ | i tried but also error | 17:08 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, very little. just how i speak 12 languages :) | 17:08 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, what is the error? | 17:08 |
| sebastian_ | it needs additional packages | 17:09 |
| luis_ | Interesting .... Ok. I have a little problem. I like to configure lirc to use my remote liek a mouse. I dont know very well how change the xorg.conf file because atcually xorg.conf are pretty clear. If I understand well, the X server autoconf oon the fly alone, not ??? So, how I say to the X server that there other mice device ?? | 17:09 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, if it is asking to install them, go ahead. if it has unresolved dependencies, then that's a separate issue | 17:09 |
| sebastian_ | no its not asking | 17:10 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, please pastebin the output after you issue "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" | 17:10 |
| ign0ramus | luis_, i don't know much about lirc. hopefully someone here can help | 17:10 |
| jsoko | next q. I have another system that also needs upgrading. Where can I find proper command-line commands for upgrade from 8.10-9.04? thx | 17:11 |
| luis_ | :) .. Oh I forgot , I'm using Kubuntu 9.04 | 17:11 |
| sebastian_ | ign0ramus http://nopaste.codersnet.org/pastes.php?view=254 | 17:11 |
| ign0ramus | jsoko, see the links ubottu posted for you above. the answer is there. | 17:11 |
| arpone | kpackage | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, first, do "sudo apt-get -f install" | 17:12 |
| jsoko | sorry--missed the scroll. Thank you for help, all! | 17:12 |
| perojok | hello, does somebody answer me how to make my SATA disk rewritable to non-root? | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | jsoko, cheers | 17:12 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, that should fix broken packages. then try to install kubuntu-restricted-extras again | 17:13 |
| sebastian_ | ign0ramus i forgot "sudo" i just typed apt-get -_______________- | 17:14 |
| sebastian_ | its seems to work | 17:14 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, and you are able to install restricted extras now? | 17:14 |
| luis_ | one more thing .... In Lirc documentation, say that I need to add a lines to xorg.cong of Section "InputDevice" and a line in Section "ServerLayout" ... but the actual xorg.conf file not have these sections !!!! | 17:14 |
| sebastian_ | ign0ramus it looks like :) | 17:15 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, gut! | 17:15 |
| sebastian_ | ing0ramus thank you very much. you saved my day. | 17:16 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, no problem. all i ask in return: how do you say "you're welcome" in german? | 17:16 |
| sebastian_ | bitte schön / gerne wieder / nichts zu danken ign0ramus. i know its a strange language :) | 17:19 |
| ign0ramus | luis_, xorg.conf has drastically changed in jaunty. not sure if it will work, but you can try backing up your current xorg.conf, and then adding those sections and lines. restore the old xorg.conf if that does not work | 17:19 |
| ign0ramus | sebastian_, cool. now we both learned something :) | 17:19 |
| sebastian_ | :D | 17:20 |
| luis_ | I will try... | 17:21 |
| ign0ramus | luis_, just a quick search reveals a lot of people having issues with lirc in jaunty. good luck! | 17:21 |
| luis_ | I have lirc working perect in xbmc and I made a .lircrc to launch cbmc and other soft, but I need to get working lirc mouse.... I think that in the worst case, I can try to config .lircrc to emulate keyborad keys and activate mouse control via keyboard... | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | what's the command for making an app the default , for instance gwenview is broken on my setup so okular seems to be the next best. How do i make it the default ? | 17:24 |
| ign0ramus | luis_, you obviously know more about this than i do, so you can try different configs to see what works. just remember to create backups of your currently working files! | 17:24 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, if it's not in System Settings, you can always right-click a picture, and use Open With and choose your app, and then tick the box to remember this setting | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | ign0ramus, there's no 'remember this setting' option | 17:26 |
| ign0ramus | BluesKaj, there is if you search for the executable. instead of picking 'okular' from the menu, browse to /usr/bin, pick okular, and then make it remember the setting | 17:26 |
| Alethes | I just installed jaunty and I'm trying to use a static ip on my box, however, I keep getting a dhcp assigned ip | 17:28 |

| Alethes | am I doing it wrong? | 17:28 |
| ign0ramus | !networking | Alethes | 17:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about networking | 17:28 |
| Alethes | this is a kde configuration issue | 17:29 |
| Alethes | how do I make the settings in the Network Settings window be used? | 17:29 |

| mefisto__ | sigma915: it's the same for cd's isn't it? | 21:18 |
| sigma915 | mefisto__: nope cd's are automatically browsable in kde4 as well. i want to have the same happen with flashdrives but don't know how | 21:19 |
| mefisto__ | sigma915: did you do anything to get cd's to be automatically browsable? what do you mean by "automatically" exactly? are cd's automounted when inserted? they don't automount on my kde | 21:21 |
| mefisto__ | sigma915: both cd's and usb drives show up in the device notifer applet on mine | 21:22 |
| sigma915 | mefisto__: yeah same for me. what i mean is if you put a cd in the drive and go to /media/cdrom the contents appear automatically without you clicking anything in the device notifier. but you can't do that with a flash drive | 21:24 |

| sigma915 | m_tadeu: what i do is create a folder and put everything in it. and then never open the root again | 21:28 |
| m_tadeu | sigma915: it is....I think it's where corrupt files go | 21:28 |
| m_tadeu | sigma915: that's not a bad idea | 21:29 |
| sigma915 | m_tadeu: nothing is hard linked so its easy to implement | 21:29 |
| m_tadeu | I think I'm gonna post a wish for dolphin.....filters would be a cool feature, I guess | 21:31 |

| ubottu | The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 22:15 |
| myself | how do i change the boot screen? I want to use KDE but i want the on and off boot screens to say Ubuntu | 22:16 |
| tr_hawk | zos: have you tried -i (simulate initial login) or -H (set HOME environment)? | 22:16 |
| zos | tr_hawk: no, I can try. thanks for the reply | 22:16 |
| zos | it works, thanks! I made modifications to the file, so that I get a red prompt whenever I do something as root! | 22:18 |
| mefisto__ | myself: sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so | 22:20 |
| tr_hawk | zos: man pages are often underestimated :-) | 22:21 |
| myself | it says there are no alternatives | 22:21 |
| myself | i mean im pretty sure i have the original Ubuntu screen installed | 22:21 |
| myself | too | 22:21 |
| myself | its just that i recently installed KDE too | 22:21 |
| myself | amnd i want it to say Ubuntu for everything, intead of Kubuntu for everything, when i turn on and off the comptuer | 22:21 |
| mefisto__ | myself: is usplash-theme-ubuntu installed? | 22:21 |
| zos | tr_hawk: I read them just now! | 22:21 |
| myself | yes it is | 22:22 |
| myself | so do i remove the kubuntu splash screen then? | 22:22 |
| myself | Usplash-theme-kubuntu | 22:22 |
| myself | if i only want it to be the ubuntu one? | 22:22 |
| mefisto__ | does /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so exist? | 22:23 |
| myself | why cannot i just type the path name in Dolphin | 22:24 |
| myself | okay i dfound it | 22:25 |
| mefisto__ | /usr/lib/usplash ? | 22:25 |
| myself | yeah | 22:25 |
| myself | ubunut exists | 22:25 |
| myself | Usplash-theme-kubuntu <----so can i just remove that? | 22:25 |
| mefisto__ | usplash-theme-ubuntu.so is there? | 22:25 |
| myself | yeah | 22:25 |
| mefisto__ | well that update-alternatives command should let you choose which one to use | 22:26 |
| myself | No alternatives for usplash-artowrk.so. | 22:26 |
| myself | hmmm? | 22:28 |
| myself | :) | 22:28 |
| mefisto__ | myself: try this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so | 22:29 |
| myself | what will that do | 22:29 |
| mefisto__ | myself: if you do ls -l /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so you'll see that it is a link to /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-kubuntu.so | 22:30 |
| mefisto__ | the ln -s command will link it to the ubuntu one instead | 22:31 |
| mefisto__ | that update-alternatives command should do that for you. don't know why it's not working | 22:31 |
| myself | ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so': File exists | 22:32 |
| mefisto__ | ah, of course it does | 22:32 |
| mefisto__ | sudo rm /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so will remove it | 22:33 |
| myself | okaycool | 22:33 |
| myself | i did those two commands | 22:33 |
| === ninjamaster is now known as bencrisford | ||
| myself | so now, the splash screen...should be ubuntu .. yeA? | 22:33 |
| myself | wait | 22:34 |
| myself | but why did i just do this in "alternatives" | 22:34 |
| myself | if the files are in /usr/lib/usplash | 22:34 |
| mefisto__ | ls -l /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so shows it now links to /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so ? | 22:34 |
| myself | yes it does | 22:35 |
| mefisto__ | the files in /etc/alternatives are all links to other files. so you can choose what you want as default | 22:35 |
| myself | now what do i do :) | 22:35 |
| mefisto__ | I think it should work now | 22:35 |
| myself | okay lemme try it brb | 22:35 |
| ibou | how to open a dvd movie manually ? | 22:37 |
| myself | it didnt work | 22:38 |
| mefisto__ | myself: so did you still see the kubuntu splash? | 22:38 |
| myself | yes | 22:38 |
| mefisto__ | hmm | 22:38 |
| lovre | hi all. I wonder if its possible to somehow run another OS (windows) in virtual machine software, but in another terminal. Lets say i run Kubuntu under CTRL+ALT+F7, and i would like to run Windows (virtualy) under CTRL+ALT+F1, so i can quickly switch between the two, and also have both in fullscreen? Is this possible? | 22:38 |
| mefisto__ | myself: maybe try sudo apt-get install usplash-theme-ubuntu | 22:39 |
| myself | its already installed | 22:39 |
| mefisto__ | myself: maybe try sudo apt-get install --reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu | 22:39 |
| coz_ | hey guys... where would kde wallpapers be located? | 22:40 |
| myself | okay brb | 22:40 |
| myself | thank you hopefully thisll work | 22:40 |
| coz_ | also where are the splash screens located for editing? | 22:42 |
| tr_hawk | coz_: kde4? | 22:42 |
| coz_ | yes | 22:42 |
| coz_ | tr_hawk, yes | 22:42 |
| coz_ | 4.2.4 | 22:42 |
| tr_hawk | coz_: depends on theming i'd guess: e.g. /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen | 22:43 |
| myself | okay it worked..soo.. can I get rid of that etc/alternatives stuff? | 22:43 |
| coz_ | ok let me check thanks | 22:43 |
| myself | hey actually | 22:45 |
| mefisto__ | myself: no, that needs to be there. you can remove usplash-theme-kubuntu if you want | 22:46 |
| myself | i see | 22:46 |
| myself | i got a question--how do i make it so in the file browser | 22:46 |
| myself | i click the file twice instead of once to open it | 22:46 |
| myself | wait found it | 22:47 |
| tr_hawk | lovre: do you need virtual terminal or can you live with desktop (run qemu/vmware in fullscreen on different desktops)? | 22:48 |
| namer | hi, i need some help to install kubuntu inside windows, i downloaded the dvd image and uninstalled my ubunutu installation, but now i can not install kubuntu via the dvd image inside XP SP3 | 22:50 |
| === s is now known as Guest61182 | ||
| === Guest61182 is now known as m29nic | ||
| tr_hawk | namer: what do you mean with "inside windows"? Wubi? | 22:55 |
| namer | YEAH | 22:55 |
| namer | sorry 4 caps | 22:56 |
| mefisto__ | !wubi | 22:57 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 22:57 |
| === rooot is now known as siekach | ||
| tr_hawk | namer: sorry, no experience on this side with wubi: I think you need to downlowd wubi and place your image inside the installer dir. | 23:01 |
| namer | i did, but i counter a strange error downloading metalinks!!!! | 23:01 |
| myself | hey the weather applet LCD weather in Kubuntu does not show my local weather, the one in ubuntu does...how do i fix this | 23:02 |
| namer | or it just downloads the iso image of the kubuntu-dektop.iso rateger thatn using the dvd image | 23:02 |
| mefisto__ | myself: I use this weather applet: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/yaWP+(Yet+Another+Weather+Plasmoid)?content=94106 | 23:04 |
| mefisto__ | myself: got it from here: https://launchpad.net/~samrog131/+archive/ppa | 23:05 |
| myself | oh okay, lemme check it out | 23:05 |
| myself | wait so what exactly do i do | 23:06 |
| tr_hawk | namer: have you tried a reboot after wubi? Maybe you get a new boot dialog to select the newly installed kubuntu? | 23:06 |
| mefisto__ | myself: well, first add that samrog131 ppa to your /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:06 |
| myself | plasma-widget-yawp | 23:07 |
| namer | yup i tried, but when mounting the dvd image with daemon tools, i get wubi without install inside windows!! | 23:07 |
| mefisto__ | myself: then sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-yawp | 23:07 |
| myself | i see | 23:07 |
| mefisto__ | myself: adding the ppa to sources.list is explained on the page I linked to. ask if you can't figure it out | 23:07 |
| myself | do i have to add the key? | 23:08 |
| solifugus | I haven't done a dual-boot since 1998 with win95.. is it still possible to shrink and cut up a winxp partition? | 23:08 |
| mefisto__ | myself: it's not necessary, but if you don't a warning will be shown about the source you're downloading from | 23:09 |
| solifugus | I remember an app somelike "fips".. not sure exactly what it was called. | 23:09 |
| myself | hey so i added those lines to my sources | 23:10 |
| myself | and its wont find the package | 23:10 |
| myself | E: Couldn't find package plasma-widget-yawp | 23:10 |
| alarm | hello, i want to set alt+shift as hot keys for changing the language layout . i read that by Editing the file ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and changing to : Switch to Next Keyboard Layout=Alt+Shift_L;Alt+Shift_R | 23:10 |
| alarm | should work. but there is no line with "Switch to Next Keyboard Layou" | 23:10 |
| alarm | in that file | 23:10 |
| mefisto__ | myself: did you add the ppa to /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 23:10 |
| alarm | how can i change the layout hot keys to alt-shitf ? | 23:10 |
| tr_hawk | namer: is there a wubi inside the image? Have you tried starting this one? | 23:11 |
| myself | is the ppa those two lines | 23:11 |
| myself | deb http | 23:11 |
| myself | etc | 23:11 |
| myself | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/samrog131/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | 23:11 |
| myself | deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/samrog131/ppa/ubuntu karmic main | 23:11 |
| myself | i added those | 23:11 |
| mefisto__ | myself: you could also just download it directly from that page and install it, but you won't get updates | 23:11 |
| myself | wait but i added those two lines, thats the ppa right? | 23:11 |
| mefisto__ | myself: do you have jaunty? | 23:12 |
| myself | yes | 23:12 |
| mefisto__ | change karmic to jaunty | 23:12 |
| myself | maybe i gotta sign the key??? | 23:12 |
| myself | it actaully says jaunty in the sources.list | 23:12 |
| myself | i think i just refreshed the page | 23:12 |
| myself | maybe i gotta add the key? | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | myself: do you have the gpg error? | 23:13 |
| myself | no error | 23:13 |
| mefisto__ | myself: like I said, if you don't you'll get a warning, but it will still install | 23:13 |
| mefisto__ | after changing sources.list, do a apt-get update | 23:13 |
| tr_hawk | solifugus: I used gparted for shrinking and repartitioning (after backup...): have a try with e.g. systemrescuecd (on a stick...) | 23:14 |
| alarm | any ideas with the layout hot keys ? how i can make kde 4 accept alt-shift ? | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | 23:15 |
| ubottu | keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 23:15 |
| myself | actually | 23:15 |
| myself | not adding the ppa manually it worked | 23:16 |
| myself | i mean, i used to add stuff w/ text editor but for some reason it didnt work w/ text editor this time | 23:16 |
| alarm | ActionParsnip, in the settings it doesnt allow me to have the alt-shift combination | 23:16 |
| alarm | !keyboard | 23:17 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 23:17 |
| myself | hey mefisto__ under what menu bar is this weather thing installed? | 23:17 |
| mefisto__ | myself: it's an applet/plasmoid, so you have to add it to your desktop or taskbar. it's not in the menu | 23:18 |
| === namer_ is now known as namer | ||
| myself | whats it called | 23:19 |

| MIrrorIMage | Hi all! I accidentally closed my Desktop widget/plasmoid and was wondering how to restore it. Thx! | 23:20 |
| mefisto__ | myself: right-click the lcd weather one, go to panel options, add widget | 23:20 |
| myself | wait | 23:20 |
| myself | its caled YAWP | 23:20 |
| myself | heheheh | 23:20 |
| mefisto__ | ok click add widget, or drag it to where you want it to be | 23:20 |
| alarm | ActionParsnip, just checked it again on the regional settings i dont have the option to change to alt-shift | 23:20 |
| myself | this is really good, thank you | 23:20 |
| myself | lol | 23:21 |
| myself | way to call it "imperial" | 23:21 |
| myself | makes me guilty about using it | 23:21 |
| myself | imperial degrees | 23:21 |
| myself | instead of farenheit | 23:21 |
| mefisto__ | well there are other things like windspeed, etc. if it's not metric, it's imperial | 23:22 |
| myself | whats imperial mean | 23:22 |
| mefisto__ | in this context, it means not metric system | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units&ei=5z0sSqOnGZa8jAex07H3Cg&sa=X&oi=spellmeleon_result&resnum=1&ct=result&usg=AFQjCNHiCI-3hL6f-eOcrK8IYLH2FHg8EQ | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | oops, stupid google, my bad | 23:23 |
| mefisto__ | I think it refers to the British Empire, but the UK uses metric system now | 23:23 |
| rolingstoned | ok | 23:24 |
| myself | yeah but its referring to like the USA being imperialistic and stuff | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | we use both ; | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ;) | 23:24 |
| mefisto__ | myself: well... | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | myself: its not, its just a definition of measurement units | 23:24 |
| rolingstoned | yhe new world order is stil active | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | myself: its like using feet and inches (Metric) or feet and inches (Imperial) (or it may be the other way round) | 23:24 |
| myself | feet and inches is imperial, but why is it called imperial? | 23:25 |
| mefisto__ | the british empire used to use it, and they were definitely imperial | 23:25 |
| myself | i see | 23:26 |
| mefisto__ | whereas europe used metric system | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | we do use both though, its entirely individual | 23:26 |
| mefisto__ | but much of europe was (or wanted to be) imperial too :) | 23:26 |
| myself | empires are evil | 23:28 |
