| usuario_ | here firefox converts http://rastiazul:631/ to http://www.rastiazul.com:631/ | 00:00 |
| ziyang | is kitchensync packaged for 9.04? cannot find it? | 00:01 |
| skierpage | Mamarok, good to know thanks. But KDE Help is useless for finding the answer (Kdm manual has no recipes), http://userbase.kde.org doesn't have it and lacks structure for providing answers. Meanwhile the Linux doc project contributors are off in scholastic debates about docbook XML DTDs. <sigh> | 00:01 |
| Mamarok | skierpage: you are welcome to contribute :) | 00:02 |

| skierpage | Mamarok, I'd love to and I write & update open source doc constantly, it's just very unclear *where*. | 00:05 |
| === ign0ramus_nom-no is now known as ign0ramus | ||
| skierpage | I was going to write "Restarting the X11 window system" at KDE userbase, but then I saw http://userbase.kde.org/Special:RecentChanges ... 12 edits a week?! <bigger sigh> | 00:06 |
| mikel | skierpage: From what you just said... it sounds like you may have the knowledge to help me, if you're willing. | 00:07 |
| Mamarok | skierpage: mailing list is the first thing to try: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-doc-english | 00:07 |
| mikel | skierpage: I'm trying to change the screen resolution, but I don't have a driver for my video card. I've googled for hours and checked forums. I even found the .run from nvidia.com and tried to run it | 00:08 |
| halberd | the mac mail program displays as an icon with the number of mail messages superimposed | 00:08 |
| halberd | is there a way to get that in kde? | 00:08 |
| nikitis | Yay! finally assigned 'printscreen' to ksnapshot! | 00:08 |
| halberd | so that I don't have to open mail to see if I have new messages, I just look over to the panel | 00:08 |
| nikitis | and it works! | 00:08 |
| skierpage | mikel, you've confused someone who wants to doc what they know with someone who knows a lot ;-) | 00:09 |
| skierpage | mikel, anyway KDE Menu > System Settings > Display should give choices. | 00:10 |
| mikel | skierpage: that sucks :( I've wasted so much time and no one seems to know how to help me | 00:10 |
| mikel | skierpage: I wish it were that easy. I'm missing the proper driver for my video card, so resolution only goes up to 800x640 instead of 1280x800 (for my laptop) | 00:10 |
| skierpage | mikel, to find out what display X thinks you have, you have to read the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. | 00:10 |
| skierpage | mikel, you may then be able to change your display driver to something else (especially if you can find a better driver) and/or change your display settings, by modifying your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file. | 00:11 |
| mikel | skierpage: Once again, I wish it were that simple. lol It contains nothing and xrandr can't add anything.. I need a video driver or a miracle, whichever comes first | 00:12 |
| ign0ramus | mikel, what card do you have? | 00:12 |
| mikel | nVidia 7150M | 00:12 |
| ign0ramus | !nvidia | mikel | 00:12 |
| ubottu | mikel: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:12 |
| mikel | let me double check... | 00:12 |
| usuario_ | so i had to add it via web not kde | 00:13 |
| nikitis | Are there packages with pre-compile themes? | 00:20 |
| m_tadeu | hi everyone | 00:20 |
| m_tadeu | is there any application similar to basket? | 00:20 |
| usuario | hi | 00:32 |
| genii-around | !hi | usuario | 00:32 |
| ubottu | usuario: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 00:32 |
| usuario | where can i get the image that kde creates for the wallpaper, i know where the original image is but kde modifies it | 00:34 |
| Mamarok | usuario: What KDE are you talking about? | 00:37 |
| Mamarok | usuario: also, Kubuntu pretty much uses the default wallpaper from KDE | 00:37 |
| === JW_in_DC is now known as JabberWokky | ||
| usuario | Mamarok i use kubuntu | 00:43 |
| Mamarok | usuario: then you already have the original ones | 00:43 |
| usuario | im using an image of my own but there are also some options to modify it | 00:43 |
| Mamarok | usuario: I can assure you, Kubuntu uses the default KDE4 wallpapers :) | 00:44 |
| usuario | i dont question that | 00:44 |
| Mamarok | well, you said earlier that we modified the original ones, didn't you? | 00:44 |
| Mamarok | usuario: and every release has a new wallpaper, different for 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 tc. | 00:45 |
| usuario | i mean that there is an original image (my image) that can be edited in the same window where you choose the wallpaper | 00:46 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Spaceghost | ||
| Mamarok | usuario: what do you want to modify? | 00:47 |
| ign0ramus | usuario, just click the button to the right of "picture" in Desktop Settings... (?) | 00:47 |
| usuario | i already modified it but i want to know where the image is stored after is modified | 00:47 |
| Mamarok | oh, I didn't understand what you were asking for then, sorry :) | 00:48 |
| usuario | np | 00:48 |
| ign0ramus | usuario, it isn't put anywhere different. kde just looks to where you pointed it to. | 00:49 |
| usuario | so i cannot keep the modified image to use it somewhere else | 00:49 |
| usuario | because if i open my image it looks the same , with no modifications | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | usuario, you haven't edited the source... you're just displaying it a certain way for your background | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | usuario, you haven't actually edited the picture itself; just how it's shown | 00:50 |
| usuario | i noticed | 00:51 |
| usuario | but i thought another one was made | 00:51 |
| usuario | i guess i have to take a screenshot | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | usuario, nope. you can take a small 500x500px picture and stretch it across your desktop, but when you open the picture itself, it will still be 500x500px | 00:52 |
| ign0ramus | usuario, does that answer your question? | 00:52 |
| ign0ramus | now its got me wondering; where are the default kde wallpapers located? | 00:53 |
| usuario | yea, the image isnt saved | 00:54 |
| usuario | the image i want isnt saved | 00:54 |
| JuJuBee | Anybody know how to share kontact data with multiple users (calendar and address book)? I want to sync with my palm treo and my wifes palm centro. | 00:54 |
| Mamarok | JuJuBee: multiple users would be a groupware solution, but syncronising is something different | 00:56 |
| ign0ramus | ah, nvm. its /usr/share/wallpapers | 00:56 |

| Spaceghost | I just received the shipit of kubuntu 9.04 | 01:25 |
| Spaceghost | but I have an old computer that I used temporarily for a long time | 01:25 |
| Spaceghost | whose hard disks have valuable information for my partitions so I do it harder | 01:25 |
| Spaceghost | so I decided to use wubi to install partitions in fat32 | 01:25 |
| Spaceghost | but it had windows on this pc was windows98 and I test wubi.exe run and does not | 01:26 |
| Spaceghost | well | 01:26 |

| Spaceghost | someone can help me? | 01:27 |
| Spaceghost | plz | 01:27 |
| Spaceghost | my English is not very good | 01:32 |
| Spaceghost | but in # ubuntu-es said I had no way to do something similar | 01:32 |
| Spaceghost | I think you have to have, for more than just thought about this for windows | 01:32 |
| Spaceghost | there must be a way to do it. how about emulating with wine? | 01:32 |

| niccc | I'm having a difficult time setting up a wireless card on 9.04 | 02:32 |
| niccc | anyone care to assist a newb? I've tried the support boards on the web | 02:33 |
| halberd | niccc, ok | 02:40 |
| halberd | I don't know about 9.04 but I set up my wireless card from the command line | 02:40 |
| ogre_ | i know this question is probably asked a lot but google isnt really helping me right now. how do I configure compiz? does ccsm work in kde4? | 02:42 |
| halberd | niccc, the general process is, first install a wireless driver if necessary, then update /etc/network/interfaces with "auto wlan0" and "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" (assuming your wireless interface is named wlan0) | 02:43 |
| halberd | then use a combination of iwlist and iwconfig, or the wireless utility of your choice (perhaps wicd), to connect to networks | 02:43 |
| subcool | Hey guys- i just enclosed a old sata Raid drive and connected it via USB.. how do i know its attached? | 02:44 |
| subcool | oh.. nvm.. i see it | 02:44 |
| subcool | hey, i need some help with a raid HD.. | 02:49 |
| subcool | lil help so i dont kill my last remaining HDD/ | 02:49 |
| niccc | halberd: about step1, the ubuntu website says that it should work out of the box. but I do have the driver ready on usb jump. | 02:49 |
| subcool | really could use some help- honestly | 02:49 |
| halberd | the ubuntu website says it should work out of the box, and does it? | 02:50 |
| halberd | can wicd connect to a nearby wireless network? | 02:50 |
| niccc | there is no wireless network connection and I don't know if it recognizes the wifi card | 02:50 |
| subcool | This is the pastebin of my fdisk -l | 02:51 |
| halberd | but you do have a wireless network nearby? | 02:51 |
| halberd | that it could connect to | 02:51 |
| halberd | but it doesn't see it | 02:51 |
| subcool | will this command work? : mount -o ro /dev/sda3 /mnt -t ext3 | 02:51 |
| subcool | im afraid of hurting it | 02:51 |
| niccc | do I have to set up for wireless network first or can I just view available networks? no password needed for my router in this room (the next room) | 02:51 |
| halberd | subcool if it's read only it probably can't do any harm | 02:52 |
| halberd | you might want to make a subdirectory of /mnt though | 02:52 |
| ogre_ | !compiz | 02:52 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 02:52 |
| halberd | like /mnt/mydrive | 02:52 |
| halberd | it might not work but it probably won't damage anything since it's read only | 02:53 |
| halberd | niccc, get wicd and open it, then click scan for networks | 02:53 |
| halberd | or connect to any network you see | 02:53 |
| subcool | thanks halberd . . ill try | 02:54 |
| halberd | kwifimanager also works | 02:54 |
| niccc | what works best for a recovering windows user (noob)? | 02:54 |

| halberd | try running network-manager | 03:09 |
| halberd | or sudo network-manager, although I'm not sure if sudo is necessary | 03:09 |
| halberd | probably there's something in network-manager that lets you connect to a wireless network | 03:10 |

| subcool | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1, | 03:11 |

| halberd | subcool what if you leave out -t ext3 and use -v | 03:12 |
| halberd | what does it try to mount it as | 03:12 |
| subcool | mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sde1 | 03:13 |
| subcool | I will try type linux_raid_member | 03:13 |
| subcool | mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' | 03:13 |
| subcool | i wis i didnt have to rely on u like this- but this greek to me | 03:13 |
| niccc | strangely it said that network-manager is not installed then gave me a line to type to install it. then it said the package was unavailable when I tried to install. | 03:13 |
| niccc | the package is being with a different name. | 03:14 |
| niccc | being used with a different name i meant | 03:14 |
| halberd | niccc, that is odd, try apt-get autoremove | 03:14 |

| halberd | what string | 03:20 |
| subcool | the mount string.. | 03:20 |
| subcool | im not good with cmd too much | 03:20 |
| subcool | -o ro and -t | 03:20 |
| niccc | halberd: thank you. I owe you one. the computer is now on the net! | 03:20 |
| halberd | great niccc | 03:21 |
| halberd | I'm not sure what the deal is with network-manager, I think I installed it myself once | 03:21 |
| halberd | but I couldn't figure out how to get to the control panel, until I restarted my computer and then it came up automatically | 03:21 |
| halberd | wicd doesn't have that problem | 03:21 |
| niccc | oh good. wicd seems like a nice and simple program. now I guess I gotta try and see if I can get my sound to work. | 03:23 |
| halberd | subcool, if your computer can't figure out the filesystem on its own then I don't know | 03:24 |
| halberd | maybe you have a better guess than ext3 that you could try | 03:24 |
| subcool | i could explain i guess | 03:24 |
| subcool | it was of 2 120 drives with a hardware raid | 03:24 |
| subcool | i worked on it a couple yeras ago | 03:24 |
| halberd | you could try -t auto but I think that's the same as leaving out the -t | 03:25 |
| subcool | this is one of two drives | 03:25 |
| halberd | hmm | 03:25 |
| halberd | I have no experience with raid | 03:25 |
| halberd | maybe there's something particular you have to do, try google | 03:26 |
| subcool | i did.. | 03:26 |
| subcool | thats how i got this far | 03:26 |

| skierpage | speaking of rstarting X, even with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace disabled, can you use the | 03:30 |
| skierpage | ... Ctrl+Alt+F1 (-F6) trick to switch to a virtual console and somehow shutdown KDE and restart X from a console? | 03:31 |
| halberd | I heard recently you might try /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 03:33 |
| halberd | but don't trust that | 03:34 |
| Dragnslcr | skierpage- sure, you could kill the X process from another terminal | 03:34 |
| halberd | subcool have you tried ext2 | 03:34 |
| subcool | nope | 03:34 |
| halberd | I would think your system would have auto-detected it if it was that, but you never know | 03:34 |
| Dragnslcr | But I wouldn't suggest doing it unless it's your last option, since you'll lose any unsaved data | 03:34 |
| skierpage | Dragnslcr Right so presumably you'd want to ask KDE to shut down first? Option to kdm or kdmctl; send special signal; or some special dbus request? | 03:36 |
| skierpage | Maybe kdeinit4_shutdown ? | 03:37 |
| Dragnslcr | skierpage- you should always use the regular logout option as long as X isn't completely unresponsive, since you risk losing data if you just kill processes | 03:39 |
| skierpage | Dragnslcr, oh yeah I know. Firefox wasn't opening a download, so I strace'd it in a console and 5 seconds later got complete freeze-up except for the mouse cursor. | 03:40 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, that'd be bad | 03:40 |
| Dragnslcr | In that case, killing kdm would definitely do it (kdm is the parent process of Xorg) | 03:42 |

| subcool | Dragnslcr: i think so | 04:13 |

| subcool | i had two 120's added today. | 04:13 |
| subcool | together.. | 04:13 |
| Dragnslcr | subcool- if it's one disk out of a RAID 0 set, then the data is effectively gone | 04:13 |
| Dragnslcr | RAID 0 doesn't actually provide any redundancy, so if you lose a disk, you lose all your data | 04:14 |
| subcool | i hve both disc | 04:14 |
| subcool | i could put the other one on the device | 04:15 |
| FeasibilityStudy | add a third disk and make it RAID5 | 04:16 |
| subcool | dont have one | 04:17 |
| subcool | im trying to fix this one so i have something to work it | 04:17 |
| subcool | with- | 04:17 |
| Dragnslcr | If they are RAID 0, you need every disk from the set | 04:19 |
| Dragnslcr | Like I said, RAID 0 doesn't provide any actual redundancy. Every byte of data exists on only one disk | 04:20 |
| subcool | i cant get partial data off of it? | 04:20 |
| subcool | thats what i want to try | 04:20 |
| Dragnslcr | The only usable data you'd get would be blocks that are smaller than your stripe size | 04:20 |
| Dragnslcr | Otherwise you'd have data missing | 04:20 |

| brian5656 | any ideas???? | 04:36 |
| subcool | Dragnslcr: so should i just format- there is some important data, that if i could reconstruct.. itd' be nice. | 04:38 |
| brian5656 | kubuntu for some reason cant or wont connect to my wifi but gnome does | 04:38 |
| Dragnslcr | subcool- if it really is one disk from a RAID 0 pair, the best you could do is recover half your data, and other than small files, it'll be half of each file | 04:39 |
| subcool | what if i connect both ? | 04:40 |
| subcool | i have another enclosure | 04:40 |
| Dragnslcr | subcool- if you have both disks, you should be able to put them back together. You may need to use software RAID if you don't have hardware RAID, but I don't know if it'll work | 04:44 |

| nikitis | Or you can pull the battery for 24 hours | 11:31 |
| milo__ | nikitis:what do you mean? | 11:33 |
| nikitis | well i just missed most of the conversation, is it a desktop? | 11:33 |
| milo__ | nikitis: nope a laptop | 11:34 |
| nikitis | If it's a desktop, most motherboards have a silver watch battery (but bigger). pull it out and wait for 24 hours and the cmos will reset | 11:34 |
| eeos | ops .... telinit in the wrong level! orgh .... the remote laptop is off the network .... does anyone know how to reboot it using wake on lan if it is at all possible? | 11:35 |
| nikitis | laptops may have them, but you have to take them apart to find out, or you could get lucky and pull the laptop battery for 24 hours out, some laptops use the big batter for cmos storage. | 11:35 |
| milo__ | nikitis: i'll try it | 11:38 |
| nikitis | CMOS is a (R)ead (O)nly (M)emory, or ROM so it doesn't write bios changes. it has a separate chip called CMOS which is basically non volitile ram, it overlaps the BIOS settings. it needs a constant electrical charge to keep those settings, (hence the bios password). | 11:38 |
| nikitis | sorry | 11:38 |
| nikitis | BIOS | 11:38 |
| nikitis | is rom | 11:38 |
| nikitis | cmos is nvram | 11:38 |
| nikitis | only needs a very very small electrical charge, so little in fact you may have to wait 24 hours. | 11:38 |
| nikitis | with it out | 11:39 |
| milo__ | nikitis: that makes sense | 11:39 |
| nikitis | laptops are made to be more secure since they are mobile | 11:39 |
| nikitis | so they could have a tiny watch battery hidden somewhere to make it more difficult | 11:39 |
| nikitis | no way to tell | 11:39 |
| nikitis | these things aren't documented for the public | 11:40 |
| shadeslayer | nikitis: all in all you have to pull the CMOS out | 11:40 |
| nikitis | shadeslayer: or cut the charge to cmos, and the data will zero out. CMOS is just a bit mask for the BIOS | 11:40 |
| nikitis | if there's no electrical charge to nvram (cmos) it zero's out and bios defaults to it's original settings. | 11:41 |
| nikitis | pulling it can do the smae | 11:41 |
| nikitis | same | 11:41 |
| nikitis | but some are hardwired, especially laptop ones | 11:41 |
| nikitis | milo__: you may want to contact the company that made the laptop, sometimes they can tell you a way to do it. | 11:42 |
| milo__ | nikitis: yes... | 11:43 |
| milo__ | nikitis: how are the hardwired ones? | 11:45 |
| nikitis | somechips are soldered on to the laptop boards | 11:46 |
| nikitis | Most desktops are made to pull out CMOS, but laptops it isn't meant to. | 11:47 |
| milo__ | I see | 11:47 |
| milo__ | nikitis: im trying to enable visual effects for my desktop but it's keep telling me "drivers not found" or something like that | 11:53 |

| FeasibilityStudy | Mamarok if I leave it on the KDE feed it is black and grey | 13:07 |
| Mamarok | just added the FSFE feed, still grey | 13:08 |

| rubasub | I want to use gparted on a memory stick and it says whoW you need root privs etc...bla...but I thought my system was set to use my password but it wont accept it | 14:31 |
| === zer0 is now known as Guest81126 | ||
| === Guest81126 is now known as Qu4R0w | ||
| jerkman | rubasub: run it from terminal, sudo gparted | 14:32 |
| rubasub | ahhhh gotcha!!! | 14:32 |
| rubasub | thanks jerkman | 14:33 |
| Dragnslcr | rubasub- don't use sudo with gparted | 14:33 |
| jerkman | thats ok, alt+f2 kdesu gparted works too | 14:33 |
| Dragnslcr | kdesudo gparted | 14:34 |
| rubasub | well sudo gparted opened it up fine, | 14:34 |
| Dragnslcr | But it might break other things | 14:34 |
| rubasub | will kdesudo gparted add weight | 14:34 |
| jerkman | rubasub: kdesudo is just a graphical option | 14:34 |
| Dragnslcr | No | 14:34 |
| Dragnslcr | kdesudo is guaranteed to interact with KDE correctly. sudo isn't | 14:34 |
| rubasub | ok | 14:35 |
| jerkman | Dragnslcr: i dont actually use KDE, im used to gksu | 14:36 |
| Dragnslcr | It's the same reason | 14:36 |
| rubasub | thanks, the whole episode is to try and use unetbootin on a pen drive and it kept crashing | 14:36 |
| jerkman | ok, thanks, i always thought sudo and gksudo, kdesudo did the same thing | 14:36 |
| === zer0 is now known as Guest64431 | ||
| Dragnslcr | Nope. The main difference is that gksudo and kdesudo run the program entirely as root, while sudo may still use some of the user's configuration files | 14:39 |
| === Guest64431 is now known as Qu4R0w | ||
| Dragnslcr | Which means you could end up with some of the user's files being owned by root, which the user can't handle correctly afterwards | 14:40 |
| Dragnslcr | http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo has a pretty good explanation | 14:40 |
| rubasub | dragnslcr I know what you mean...it's happened to me and is a complete nightmare...using the info you already mentioned is it wise to reformat a pendrive in this manner or will I achieve a root take over of the pen drive? | 14:44 |
| Dragnslcr | When you say reformat, do you really mean delete and recreate the file system on the drive? If so, I'm pretty sure you have to have root privileges to edit partitions, even on removable media | 14:45 |
| Dragnslcr | In which case there won't be any files on the drive anyway, so file ownership isn't an issue | 14:46 |
| rubasub | unetbootin seems to have completed something so I'll reboot and check if the iso now works from usb drive. The problem in past was having messed around with pendrive I couldn't drag and drop things into it cos of root privs | 14:50 |
| rubasub | I'll be back sometime...will be amased if it works =) | 14:50 |

| snarkster | there isnt | 19:57 |
| bobleny | Hm. | 19:58 |

| bobleny | Does anyone know how to use the jaunty repository on harrdy? | 20:02 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, by upgrading. Trying to use 9.04 packages on an earlier version will most likely cause dependency issues | 20:02 |

| noaXess | Serpardum: so, what to do? | 22:46 |
| noaXess | is that a disk problem? | 22:46 |
| Serpardum | I'm googling but not fidning much | 22:47 |
| Serpardum | Oh, no, shoudlnt' be | 22:47 |
| Serpardum | it's just how linux works. It's so if you have any files open and the system crashes you don't lose any data | 22:47 |
| Serpardum | you shoudl notice if you use like kate it creates a file ending in ~ | 22:48 |
| Serpardum | this would be written to disk every time you see the hd flicker | 22:48 |
| Serpardum | even if you don't have anythign open I know it used to do it. | 22:48 |
| Serpardum | It's just the nature of the beast. It shoudl be normal afaik | 22:48 |
| Serpardum | wait | 22:48 |
| Serpardum | everything stops? | 22:49 |
| Serpardum | that is not normal | 22:49 |
| noaXess | Serpardum: the problem is that if that happening the system is blocked.. | 22:49 |
| noaXess | jep | 22:49 |
| Serpardum | that is definately not normal. hmm | 22:49 |
| ign0ramus | just curious - anyone else have the "iHateTheCashew" plasmoid? | 22:50 |
| Serpardum | how much memory does your laptop have noaXess? | 22:50 |
| Dragnslcr | ign0ramus- no, but I've heard about it | 22:50 |
| noaXess | Serpardum: 4gb, but the mainboard only give me 3gb of them | 22:50 |
| Serpardum | try this: if you leave the monitor window open in the background, it has a chart and will show you if you are going to 100%. The system monitor is in the menu at System>Administration>System Monitor. Then after the freeze, you can look at the chart and see if that is happening. | 22:51 |
| noaXess | Serpardum: or CTRL+ESC :) | 22:51 |
| ign0ramus | Dragnslcr, it gives you the option of hiding the big cashew on the top right of the Plasma Dashboard... i just cant figure out how to implement it (i've installed it properly...) | 22:51 |
| Serpardum | that is, if it's running out of memory and having to swap | 22:51 |
| Serpardum | I have that thing | 22:52 |
| Serpardum | I think it's half of a ying/yang symbol | 22:52 |
| Serpardum | Oh, right, I needed the alternate CD to install in virtualbox, but since I'll be installilng to boot, I can use the normal Cd | 22:55 |
| burn_ | does the ati radeon linux driver 32bit works with xorg ? | 22:57 |
| burn_ | version 9.6 | 22:57 |
| Serpardum | noaXess: any success? | 23:01 |
| === william is now known as Guest76374 | ||
| noaXess | Serpardum: need to check.. mayby memery problem, so it is swaping aroound | 23:02 |
| noaXess | Serpardum: Mem: 2967480k total, 2831480k used, 136000k free, 157644k buffers | 23:03 |
| noaXess | Swap: 6289408k total, 45408k used, 6244000k free, 1477668k cached | 23:03 |
| Serpardum | 136k free is nothing with 3g. yeah, sounds like it | 23:04 |
| Serpardum | I have 1g on this virtualmachine, 503172 used, 523508 free | 23:05 |
| Serpardum | I have 1/3 the memory and more free. yeah, try top, find out whats using the memory | 23:05 |
| Serpardum | top is a console command | 23:05 |
| snarkster1 | could somebody explain mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting server:/DATA/Movies | 23:08 |
| Serpardum | it sounds like you have /data/movies mounted, and your mount is conflicting with it | 23:08 |
| Serpardum | so umount your /data/movies | 23:08 |
| Serpardum | then try it | 23:08 |
| snarkster1 | so umount from the server? | 23:09 |
| Serpardum | whatever /DATA/Movies is. | 23:09 |
| Serpardum | I'm not familiar with that error, but that's what the error is telling you | 23:09 |
| ign0ramus | Serpardum, you may be newish to kubuntu, but you know your unix! | 23:09 |
| Serpardum | and, yeah, it sounds like you are serving /DATA/Movies | 23:10 |
| snarkster1 | ok let me see if im understanding you. I need to umount /DATA/Movies on the server so I can mount it on my client? | 23:10 |
| Serpardum | if you are mounting it on your server, you have access to it, why do you need to mount it? | 23:10 |
| Serpardum | it sounds like you are trying to serve and client the same place | 23:11 |
| snarkster1 | because I want to access it from my laptop | 23:11 |
| Serpardum | right, your laptop is not the server, right? | 23:11 |
| snarkster1 | correct it is not the server | 23:11 |
| halberd | I have a "Launch Application" dialogue for Firefox that is open, but unresponsive to clicks, and it doesn't close | 23:11 |
| Serpardum | okay, so when you try to mount it on the laptop via the network, it works/ | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | ? | 23:12 |
| halberd | how can I find what this window is, on the command line, so I can kill it? | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | ps -a | 23:12 |
| snarkster1 | no it will not mount | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | maybe it's ps-all | 23:12 |
| snarkster1 | says access denied | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | no, let me find the switch that shows all | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | your server has to give it rights | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | it's ps -A | 23:12 |
| Serpardum | I'm not familair with how you are serving it, so am not sure how you would give ti rights to the mount share | 23:13 |
| snarkster1 | if its shared, and my hosts file shows my computer. and i have explicitly shared it to my laptop shouldnt that work? | 23:13 |
| Serpardum | Oh, you know, it might just be that the client (laptop) needs to givce the linux username/password | 23:14 |
| snarkster1 | ok ill try that | 23:14 |
| Serpardum | afaik it shares by user, not by machine, though I may be wrong. | 23:14 |
| Serpardum | I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken | 23:14 |
| snarkster1 | hmm i need a smoke. brb | 23:15 |
| ziyang | does anybody know why forward/back mouse button are recognised in firefox but not konqueror? | 23:21 |
| === max_ is now known as makuseru | ||
| makuseru | Can someone help me set up wireless on an HP G60 laptop with an Athereos card? | 23:26 |
| burn_ | makuser what athers wireless? | 23:26 |
| burn_ | atheros* | 23:26 |
| halberd | makuseru, are you sure it doesn't work already | 23:26 |
| === burn_ is now known as [buRn] | ||
| halberd | if there's a wireless network near you, try sudo iwlist scan | 23:27 |
| makuseru | Ive got a wireless router right next to me. | 23:27 |
| halberd | so try that command, and if your router shows up then your wireless is working | 23:28 |
| makuseru | It says "Interface doesn't support scanning" | 23:28 |
| halberd | it says that for every interface? the command finished? | 23:28 |
| makuseru | For "lo" "eth0" and "pan0" which is all thats listed. | 23:28 |
| halberd | well in that case you don't have it configured | 23:29 |
| halberd | there are guides for that stuff | 23:29 |
| halberd | basically you need to search google for the guide, which will tell you to install a driver, then edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure your wireless interface | 23:30 |
| makuseru | All the guides I found were for "madwifi" and I tried svereal different ways and was never able to get it working that way. | 23:31 |
| makuseru | What would you recommend? | 23:31 |
| ign0ramus | makuseru, did you hit the wifi button? i think it should be blue | 23:31 |
| halberd | maybe one of these will help you http://www.google.com/search?q=configure+wireless+linux+atheros&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a | 23:32 |

| fleebailey33 | i have two moniters, one is portrait and one is landscape | 23:48 |
| fleebailey33 | is there in easy way to configure this that i am missing? | 23:48 |
| socceroos | fleebailey33: you should be able to go to System Settings -> Display and change the rotation of each monitor | 23:53 |
| === ben is now known as Guest18450 | ||
| fleebailey33 | socceroos: that easy eh? | 23:55 |
| fleebailey33 | why do i always try and make things harder. | 23:55 |
| socceroos | fleebailey33: it SHOULD be that easy. I've done it from there before. | 23:56 |
| socceroos | =) | 23:56 |
| fleebailey33 | that should apply to kde in general right? | 23:56 |
| socceroos | fleebailey33: correct | 23:56 |
| fleebailey33 | thanks | 23:56 |
