I have a few partitions that when mounted i can access all of their files but they show up as 0 bytes total size and 0 bytes of space availabe. I believe they are fat32 and ntfs. How can i fix this? Thanks [00:49] My key-board short cut does not work after I upgrade to KDE 4.3, such as Alt+F2, or Alt+F3. [01:08] KDE 4.3 works properly after I do an update again, there were missing packages.

[04:20] without doing a dist upgrade (because historically those have never worked for me) [04:21] anyone? [04:23] anyone know if installing kde4-desktop will install the latest stable kde4??? [04:24] kalorin: what's ufraw is? [04:24] it's a graphics program that allows you to pull in raw images from digital cameras and work with them [04:24] and then pop them into gimp or just save them as .jpg's or whatever [04:24] How can I add an icon to kde? I.E. "kdesudo virtualbox" so I can click it instead of alt-F2ing and typing every time. I know how to make a script file. but how can I make an icon in teh .. start.. menu? [04:25] kalorin: why arent you going to 8.10? [04:25] I'm not sure what ufraw is however [04:25] kalorin: if it's not a kernel module just get sources compile and use "checkinstall" it will generate .deb pacage which you can freely install [04:26] i need to install the kernel source tree for kubuntu... [04:26] which is what package? [04:27] Serpardum: I'm on 8.10, I don't want to go to 9.04 at the moment [04:27] yeah no kernel module [04:27] perhaps I can just pull the .deb's from the jaunty repository and install them [04:27] okkay anyone with kernel knowledge here? i wish to make usb install of ubuntu but use "unfied kernel" instead of ubuntu one.. (unified kernel provide native windows kernel api to execute windows procs..) [04:27] I kind of hate to build something if I don't have to [04:28] [23:26] which is what package? [04:28] linux-generic [04:28] I believe [04:28] kalorin: you could try but there is always some dependencies in deb or sources... best luck :) [04:28] yeah we'll see [04:28] * kalorin shrugs [04:28] kernel sources would be linux-headers and linux-image? [04:28] yessir [04:28] headers being the lib's [04:29] image being the kernel itself [04:29] linux-source [04:29] there it is [04:30] sunny, oh that's nice, they ahve intrepid packages [04:31] I bought a canon 5d-2 and the raw cr2 files aren't supported in 0.13 [04:32] kalorin: that's why im building unfied kernel... there is some friend designer who works in photoshop and i wish to make linux with windows procs support for her.. [04:33] ah [04:33] yeah I don't do photoshop [04:33] gimp will do everything that I could possibly want photoshop for [04:33] and with the ufraw package (which is working like a champ now that's it's installed btw) you can load raw and color balance and all that jazz [04:33] heh [04:33] want to see something cool/ [04:34] http://kalorin.com [04:34] take a look at that IMG_0002.cr2.jpg picture [04:34] it's about 6megs [04:35] taken on a cloudy day, hand held, iso 800 with a 70-200 f/2.8 L lens and a 5d, at about 3 yards distance [04:35] it's sick the detail that I got on that [04:36] kalorin: gimp is nice i worked both in PS and GIMP there is some cons and pros in both products but this is questions of habit ... and she is designer not some tech savvy person so there only way for her to migrate into GPL is easy ... :) [04:36] ah [04:36] yeah that's true [04:38] sorry that's iso 400 [04:38] 1/250s [04:38] kalorin: i had history of over 12 years using windows as work enviroment and good collection of helper programs but one day (a year ago) i switched to linux(but had been using *nix platforms since 99) :) [04:39] heh [04:39] any way to turn off the wood block sounds when I hit a button on applications like ccsm or xchat? [04:39] i think i started with deadcat like 4 [04:39] get this [04:39] because I had a 28.8 modem that I was playing quake on, and a 10base 2 Thin Net network [04:40] and I didn't want my gaming machine that I was playing on to lose frames cause ti was dealing with the interupts of the modem [04:40] that's what got me started :) [04:40] what else do i need to install besides linux-headers? [04:40] but yeah, when vista came out I went to kubuntu [04:40] togetic: depends if you want the restricted drivers [04:41] I usually just do linux-generic [04:41] and let it pick al the rest of the stuff that I need [04:41] the restricted drivers include what exactlY? [04:41] kalorin: hehe at &X0 to disable compression and play hexen or doom lag-free ... been there seen that :) [04:41] linux-generic, linux-headers, linux-restricted-modules [04:41] well it's the nvidia drivers vs. the free X drivers [04:42] I prefer to use the nvidia cause they seem faster to me [04:42] things like that [04:42] you can do a search on linux-restricted-modules and it'll tell you what all is in there [04:42] :) keep finger crossed for gallum3D project :) [04:44] hmm [04:44] i'm trying to get the nvidia driver installation to work, but it needs the sources for the current kernel [04:44] guess i need to point directly to the sources since i've downloaded everything there is for linux-source [04:44] haven't herd of that one yet [04:45] heard of what one? [04:45] my prob? [04:45] togenic, just install the restricted drivers [04:45] gallum3d [04:45] I'm thinking next is to set up a myth tv server and play around with that in my copius amounts of free time [04:45] :( [04:45] togetic: in resticted there is generally properitary hardware drivers( wifi etc) .. if you need video card driver go to nvidia.com and also make sudo apt-get install linux-headers that all after it just run .run file [04:46] hello. bit of a search here. I'm looking for a 'simple' snmp monitor. My router has snmp capabilities, I was curious if there was something like a plasma widget, or something similar, to just read out a few of the items and display it nicely on the kde desktop. [04:47] kalorin: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=search&q=Gallium3D but to get it read articles on official site of gallum3d [04:48] wher is the kernel source path?.. [04:48] will need to do ./NVIDIA-DRIVER.BIN --kernel-source-path [04:48] perhaps i need to rever to an older kernel [04:48] togetic: /usr/src/ [04:49] sunnydrake@main:~/Desktop/install/games/dccnitghtmare/bin$ ls /usr/src/ [04:49] ati linux-headers-2.6.27-14 linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic linux-headers-2.6.28-13-server rpm vboxnetflt-2.1.4 [04:49] fglrx-8.62 linux-headers-2.6.27-14-generic linux-headers-2.6.28-11-server linux-headers-2.6.28-3-rt rt73.tar.bz2 vboxnetflt-2.2.4 [04:49] glibc linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic linux-headers-2.6.28-13 linux-rt-headers-2.6.28-3 vboxdrv-2.1.4 [04:49] kqemu-1.4.0~pre1 linux-headers-2.6.28-11 linux-headers-2.6.28-13-generic linux-source-2.6.28.tar.bz2 vboxdrv-2.2.4 [04:49] sunnydrake: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:07] sotomayor: just ask your questions, one by one. the idea is we ALL learn from the help YOU get :) [05:08] yes medibuntu [05:08] from the repos, or just the .deb [05:08] not sure [05:09] did you add anything to your sources.list , or just download a single package via Firefox [05:10] well i was trying to add ahhh i think it was ubuntu restricted something...i got it on a thumb drive but cant upload it now i will have to log off to tell you [05:10] sotomayor, that is not from medibuntu [05:11] a guy today told me to load it in the konsole and that's what i did and it wouldn't work [05:11] load what? [05:12] the restricted link [05:12] hold on let me see if i can pull it up from my thumb drive [05:12] kubuntu-restricted-extras ? [05:13] yes..something like that [05:13] so you may not have installed anything at all from medibuntu.org [05:14] well to be honest can you walk me through what i need to get my dvd drive to play/burn? [05:14] sotomayor, open a browser and go to medibuntu.org then download the package libdvdcss2 [05:15] ok hold on [05:15] then after you have downloaded that, double click on it, and it should install, or prompt you to how you want to install it [05:15] bazhang, sotomayor: may i interject something? might make it a touch easier to just add the repo, it will keep things a bit more cohesive and up to date [05:16] SilentDis, depends, if sotomayor wants googleearth, skype etc from there; if not no real need [05:16] really up to him/her [05:17] bazhang: true, i usually just make a point to set that repo up, mainly for all the vid codecs so i don't have to go searching for everything heh [05:17] SilentDis, it is convenient, true :) [05:20] !medibuntu | sotomayor this is the medibuntu homepage, it has a link on how to setup everything. either installing from individual files, or setting the repo. yay choices! [05:20] sotomayor this is the medibuntu homepage, it has a link on how to setup everything. either installing from individual files, or setting the repo. yay choices!: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:20] is this the correct thing i need to download....

[05:23] what version, ie 9.04 or 8.10 (jaunty or intrepid) [05:25] i will havet to go check..by the way where can i go find that out from on the software? [05:25] on the medibuntu.org page [05:25] your version of Ubuntu/Kubuntu is lsb_release -a in the konsole [05:26] Is there anyway in Kubuntu/ubuntu to show IBM extended ASCII char 171 (1/2 symbol) [05:26] unicode ? [05:27] i'm using 8.04 lts version [05:27] in windows you can hold down alt and press 171. Unicode you preceed with a 0 [05:27] then you would wan the Hardy version of libdvdcss2 sotomayor [05:28] ok so do i change that in the software sources? [05:29] sotomayor, you enabled the repos? if not, then just get the Hardy package [05:30] where do i enable the repos ? [05:30] instructions are on the medibuntu.org page sotomayor [05:31] ok [05:42] bazhang..ok i went there and did what you saidd but i need you too look here if you dont mind and tell me what i should do next [05:43] http://pastebin.com/d707603d9 [05:43] sotomayor, did you sudo apt-get update yet? [05:44] no [05:45] sotomayor, then do so [05:46] ok can you type to me the correct way to sudo apt-get? [05:46] sudo apt-get update [05:46] sotomayor, ^^ [05:47] ok thanks [05:48] Are the packages for Amarok 1.4 for Kubuntu 9.04? [05:49] so after i do that in konsole then what do i do then? [05:50] apt-cache search googleearth sotomayor [05:50] do i type that in the konsole? [05:50] yep [05:50] and when i do that what is that suppose to do? [05:50] return if googlearth is available in your repositories [05:51] apt-cache search libdvdcss2 as well sotomayor [05:52] http://pastebin.com/d3e1b83ae [05:52] check that out [05:54] sotomayor, you need to edit out the cd rom parts with a # in front of the entries, or disable via the gui package manager you have there [05:55] I have a script file makefloppyimg. It is executable. If I go into konsole and type ./makefloppyimg it runs. However. If I browse to it and click it, kate opens to edit it. How do I get it to run? [05:55] sotomayor, first try the : apt-cache search libdvdcss2 [05:55] i'm so lost and dont know where to do all this editing.....and i just tried the apt-cache search libdvdcss2 and it did'nt work but hold on while i try it again [05:56] !repos | sotomayor read these links please [05:56] sotomayor read these links please: The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections.

[08:25] try another browser [08:25] like firefox? [08:25] ryan_ for sure!! [08:26] but I thought konqueror was the thing to use on linux :/ [08:26] <-- new to linux, fresh install of kubuntu, did all the updates and installed apache [08:26] it's just a browser [08:26] firefox is also free and has more features [08:26] tell that to the chrome guys [08:26] while installing php5 i got numerous could not reliabliy determine servers fully qualified domain name [08:26] chadoneal: instead of firefox i would go with opera [08:26] they want to rule the digital world :D [08:27] chrome is amazing I wish there was a stable version for linux! [08:27] ??? [08:27] fanboy detected! [08:27] i never said anything about firefox [08:27] lol... [08:27] how could a browser be amazing? it displays webpages [08:27] like other browsers [08:27] yeah why is the iphone so amazing its just a phone ya know.. [08:28] halberd: tell you try chrome, you will never experince the amazing speeds that chrome works at [08:28] yeah my amazing heart.... it just pumps blood [08:28] iphone sucks [08:28] the iphone has more features than a phone [08:28] joshua__, that's not possible, speed is limited by your bandwidth not your browser [08:28] im not sure if things are installing correctlyu [08:28] i used sudo apt-get install php5 [08:28] is taht correct [08:28] halberd: just like sex is limited to your hand, not your gf [08:29] lol, hello troll [08:30] ... [08:31] I should boot into windows and use my amazing web browser.... [08:31] troll confirmed [08:32] when i get back, will you have my bridge built for me?

[08:33] then a troll [08:33] bazhang: ty man was bout to use the magic op command [08:34] I had question to, but I did not know we can only talk about our kubuntu issues here :/ [08:34] !ot | ryan_ [08:34] ryan_: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [08:34] ryan was the one who called you fanboy [08:34] whatever the case was, it wasn't very nice [08:35] I am sorry and I'll quit the chatter immediately [08:35] ryan your question was valid [08:35] ryan_: don't let them tread on your first amendment rights, talk as you wish, about whatever you wish! [08:35] joshua__: but not in here [08:36] joshua__: take it into #kubuntu-offtopic [08:36] ryan had a question about konqueror [08:36] give me death or give me liberty! [08:36] ryan_: go ahead and ask your question [08:37] he did [08:37] my main concern is not konqueror - rather the fact that I had to install kubuntu 7.10 with a blacklist command - cause my laptop is pretty old and the pcmcia is creating a kernel panic on ubuntu 8/9 and other distris [08:38] so my question is now - is it possible to upgrade to 8 or even 9 now with 7.10 installed [08:38] ryan_: possible: yes, will it work: best way to find out is to try [08:38] !upgrade | ryan_ [08:38] ryan_: 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 [08:39] joshua__: seriously if you have no idea whats goign on dont say anything [08:39] eagles0513875: do you really think that was a helpful response? [08:39] from you now joshua__ more from me and providing links [08:40] ryan_: not sure if you need to do the upgrade to 8.04 8.10 then 9.04 though [08:40] and how did you come up with the assumption that i do not know what is going on... [08:40] got it type "list" in text box on ubuntu irc [08:40] thats what I thought eagles0513875 [08:41] this channel is almost as bad as the ubuntu channel [08:41] the thing is I cannot view you instruction urls with konqueror and do not want to install ff - i'd rather let the sys as it is right now - chances are any change could compromise the upgrade process so my second question.. [08:42] ask away ryan_ [08:42] would you kindly use tinyurl to create urls that I can write down with a pencil... [08:42] that would be very helpfull [08:43] a [08:43] ryan_: im not quite following [08:44] the links you gave me - could you shorten them with tinyurl.com [08:44] eagles0513875: he can't connect to any web pages via kongueror and does not want to install ff, so he wants you to use tiny url so he can write them down and look at pages on another computer [08:44] you dont need all of them [08:44] not very hard to figure out [08:44] ryan_, your konqueror does not get web pages? can you ping google? [08:44] yes === baloon is now known as baloon_ === baloon_ is now known as baloon__ [08:45] ping works perfectly fine as chatting with you all - obviously :) [08:45] perhaps a dns issue [08:45] bazhang: hes afraid to access them cuz hes been having trouble installing versions 8 and 9 on this machine and hes afraid if he follows the links it will mess up the upgrade [08:45] ryan_: i didn't notice, how are you doing that? magic? [08:45] joshua__, please chat elsewhere [08:46] bazhang: I have as much right to chat here as anyone else... [08:46] joshua__: you do if its on topic though [08:46] thats right but I think we should not talk OT [08:46] joshua__, this is support ONLY. chit chat in #kubuntu-offtopic [08:47] I was trying to help ryan_ [08:47] well back to the topic at hand - how can I resolve the dns issue in konqueror? [08:47] ryan_: if you have another linux box, you can send messages to yourself over command line >_> [08:47] maybe I should put the links into a textfile and try to put them on a usb stick [08:48] faileas: he could also use ssh but if itst not installed and he is having dns issues then that might not work [08:48] try putty [08:51] hmm you peeps are no fun i am going to bed, hasta la vista mi amigas [08:51] bye [08:51] the usb stick worked like a charm - thanks a lot eagles0513875 for providing the links [08:52] no problem ryan_ :) have a good day [08:52] I am trying to upgrade now from 7 to 8 wish me luck [08:52] too good to say bye to me eagles0513875? [08:53] thanks again and a good day to you all. === baloon is now known as BaLo0n [08:56] ++òç [08:57] ¶iema [09:13] re [09:15] I tried to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 - first with apt-get update and apt-get upgrade-dist but all it said was 0updates - then I tried the adept_manager dist-upgrade-devel but it crashes when I click update - any tipps? [09:15] ryan_, 7.10 is end of life, you will need to change your sources.list as described in the upgrade link [09:16] thanks bazhang - I am going to do that now must have overlooked that somehow [09:17] bye === tdn_ is now known as tdn === root is now known as Guest59850 [10:10] hey guys I am on kubuntu and have an issue here... applications like xcaht...ccsm...and a few other...so far non kde apps...when clicking a button or tab on any of these I get a wood block sound effect and it is very irritating...how to stop this? i have check in sounds and none of them have this sound [10:12] coz_: Where did you go to check out the sounds? [10:13] ka, system settings...nitifications [10:16] coz_: Did you check the entry called KDE system notifications? [10:17] yeah none of these work [10:18] ka, al of those under that listing are turned off [10:18] ay other applications? I dont have xchat or ccsm installed [10:18] ay=any [10:18] ka, a hold on let me check [10:19] mm trying to find one with tabs and buttons to press :) === c1|freaky is now known as freaky[t] [10:22] ka, not finding any as of yet [10:22] not many have the same tabbing or buttons as those two [10:22] coz_: I will install xchat and have a looksee [10:22] oh i appreciate that [10:23] i just had a terrible thought..=developers putting in h idden sound when non kde app is used [10:24] coz_: in system Settings -> Notifications, second tab, check the no audio output radio button [10:25] Mamarok, already ticked [10:25] inkscape also has this again non kde app [10:27] coz_: Sorry I dont get this sound. [10:27] oy [10:27] :) [10:27] coz_:Tried xchat and inkscape. [10:27] that should not depend on a KDE app or not, as it is the system notifications you are removing [10:27] the system beep actually [10:27] it is really annoying :) [10:27] coz_: did you restart the app after this changings? [10:27] Mamarok, welldepending on which button or tab I press the sound changes [10:27] hold on let me try again [10:28] Mamarok, ok restarted inkscape and it is still there [10:28] Mindboggling [10:29] ka, ear irritiating :) [10:29] and you really choose no audio output? I have no sound here [10:29] Mamarok, yep [10:29] Mamarok, honest :) [10:29] hm, I wonder if there could be a keyboard sound activated somewhere... [10:29] keyboard sound? [10:30] oh wait let me check somethings [10:30] in keyboard&Mouse, the keyboard click volume is 0? [10:30] yep it's zero [10:31] where is the configuration file of the kde 4 desktop? I would like to put some icons on the desktop! [10:32] oh man I think I know what the problem is or at least where the sounds are coming from [10:32] ct529: just right click on the application and add to desktop [10:32] coz_: where? [10:33] Mamarok, I have gnome installed as well or actually ubuntu-desktop and these sounds are way too similar to the gnome ubuntu sounds but I thought I had those disabled ...so let me log onto gnome and check [10:33] hm, shouldn't happen, but yes, that's a possibility [10:34] be right back [10:34] Mamarok: nope, it an application I have unpacked and installed manaully (no package manager, Eclipse Galileo 3.5.0) [10:35] ct529: if it's in the Kmenu, you should be able to add it the same way, else use kappfinder [10:35] ct529: everything that is in the menu can be added to the Desktop or Panel with a right click option, so you can add an entry to the menu [10:37] mm interesting..here on gnome the sounds that would produce those darn noises are greyed out and not accessible let me open as root perhaps [10:38] mm even greyed out as root [10:38] ok disabled everything let me log into kde [10:39] \join #eclipse [10:39] sorry [10:39] ct529: did you manage to add that icon to the desktop? [10:40] Mamarok: no, what I want to do is to create an icon on the desktop, without inserting it into the menu first .... only on the desktop [10:40] ct529: adding it to the menu takes you one step... [10:41] editing config files is far more complicated [10:42] ct529: add a link to the desktop folder then [10:42] well these are definitly gnome/ubuntu sounds those darn drum and woodblock sounds but i cant seem to disable them in kde ...they are disabled in gnome however [10:43] oh well I guess I will figure this one out eventually:) [10:43] coz_: sorry I couldn't help you then [10:43] Mamarok: iI really want to modify the configuration file, because I want to learn about it .... where is it? I do not seem to be able to fond it [10:43] Mamarok, no problem guy thanks :) [10:44] ct529: all configuration files are here: ~/.kde/share/config/ [10:45] is there vmware player avalibale for Kubuntu [10:46] husayn: there is virtualbox [10:46] i have .vmx files [10:46] so i think they would only run on vmware [10:47] Mamarok: thanks a lot very interesting structure plasma-appletsrc [10:47] husayn: well, you need to install it from vmware then, as it is proprietary [10:47] ct529: you are welcome :) [10:47] no vmware player is always free [10:47] vmware workstation needs licencing [10:47] husayn: free of charge, but not free software :) [10:48] humm.... :D [10:48] ct529: but plasma-appletsrc is not necessarily what you are looking for, as plasma-applets are not just icons [10:49] thanks again eagles0513875 and bazhang! [10:49] ct529: add a link to the desktop folder and show it in the folder applet [10:49] Mamarok: well, it looks like the only place where there are the icons that are now on my desktop. [10:49] no problem ryan_ did everythign work out upgrade wise for you [10:50] Mamarok: do not like that .... I removed the folder applet [10:50] ct529: your choice :) [10:51] yes but the upgrade of the source files was way to risky for me - I just downloaded the alternate cd of 8.04 and mounted in - then I used the cdromupdate command - and the upgrade to 8.04 went flawless - now I am going to use the same procedure to get from 8.04 to 9.04 - and you know what - konqueror is working now like a charm :D [10:51] Mamarok: I just want to add an icon to the desktop, without adding it to the menu or to the panel or to any folder .... it is quite a simple and basic operation, it should be pretty straightforward .... if it is not, then there is something quite awkward with the desktop manager [10:52] for beginners the cdromupdate really is the weapon of choice - since you do not need lan or wifi and can also use your usb stick to transfer the iso and mount it then [10:53] ct529: To drag a application from the menu to the desktop you have to do it to the folderview plasmoid. [10:54] I am quite exited after all the pain I had with the install I begin to love kubuntu now [10:54] I am off to upgrade to 9.04 now - hope to see you again soon. thanks again. [10:55] ka: yes, I do understand that .... I actually have the icon on the desktop, but I want to do it the clean way .... we are at version 4.2.4 .... why can we not just create an icon on the desktop? I do not understand the decision .... [10:56] ct529: well, it's simply due to the fact that icons on a desktop is not a feature in KDE4, this is not Windows :) [10:56] I agree. file a bug. I will even wot for it If you post it here. As far as I can remember it was possible in the early days.. [10:56] but you can report a wish to http://bugs.kde.org [10:56] wot=vote [10:56] ka: no, it wasn't, not in KDE4, as it's not the way the desktop is intended to work [10:57] Mamarok: I may be wrong but I clearly remember that I could add desktop icons just by dragging from the menu to the desktop in opensuse with kde4.0 [10:58] Mamarok: why should that be windows? I do not understand why in an evolved dm you should not have the opportunity to add an icon to the desktop, but you have to carry out at least three different operation to do so. I have been a user of kde since 3.4 and adopted and tested 4 since 4.0 .... but I frankly do not understand what is going on here .... [10:58] Maybe it was a opensuse hack... [10:58] ka: that is still possible, but doesn't have an icon in the menu [10:58] and you add it with the right click option [10:58] he doesn't* [10:59] ct529: I told you how to do so, s I said, your choice [10:59] as* [11:00] Mamarok: to do what sorry [11:00] I can't see how I can add for instance firefox to my desktop by rightclicking the desktop... [11:00] ct529: understand me right, you can add icons to the desktop, but of course it needs to be in the mneu [11:00] ka: exactly [11:00] ka: works here [11:00] I can add all stuff that is in the menu to the desktop or panel or to the favorites [11:00] Mamarok: that was not my question, unfortunately [11:01] including non-KDE apps [11:01] could you post a screenshot for us please? === blizzzek is now known as blizzz [11:01] ct529: I know, but the debate is futile here, ask in #kde, Kubuntu only distributes it [11:01] so if you want changes and discussions about the how it should work in KDE, that's in #kde to ask [11:05] ka: you have to unlock the widgets [11:05] ka: possibly that is the problem [11:06] I am finding the 4.x experience a bit frustrating I have to say [11:08] Mamarok, all fixed i had to remove the libcanberra-gtk-module [11:09] * Mamarok likes it very much, but I'm on it since very early beta times of 4.0 and use it every day [11:09] Mamarok: unfortunately it is the same for me, and I use it for work [11:09] coz_: great! but still strange, that the Gnome spounds are played in KDE [11:09] ct529: so do I [11:09] unlocking did the trick [11:10] ct529: we can discuss that in #kubuntu-offtopic though, here is support only [11:10] Mamarok, well that module wouldnt be affected or disabled on kde but it is disabled by default on gnome === mike is now known as Guest56240 [11:10] Mamarok: i use everything KDE now...except for konqueror...gmail doesnt support it :( [11:10] Mamarok: what does spounds mean? [11:11] sounds*, typo [11:11] shadeslayer: try arora then [11:11] Mamarok: do not like gnome particularly I have to say .... no advanced config .... and then I do not want to have different desktops on different pcs .... but I think the kubuntu packaging is quite stable, but performances are not brilliant [11:12] ct529: please, discussion is in #kubuntu-offtopic [11:18] Mamarok: it looks like its using icons from kde 3.5 [11:19] shadeslayer: what app? [11:19] Mamarok: arora [11:20] shadeslayer: hm, I don't see many icons I must say... [11:22] shadeslayer: you're still using the knightly kde builds ? [11:22] shadeslayer: and those are not even KDE afaik, maybe the Oxygen folk didn't have time to make some, it's still very much WIP [11:27] is anyone else having some performance problems with plasma (4.2.4)?

[11:31] ubuntu [11:31] bi0ne: then you should ask in #ubuntu, they will help you better [11:31] as it could be an Ubuntu specific problem [11:32] last question [11:32] which is better ubuntu or kubuntu [11:33] bi0ne: that entierly depends on your personal preferences [11:33] bi0ne: whether you prefer to use KDE or Gnome [11:34] can you tell me the difference of kde and gnome [11:35] bi0ne: those are different desktop environments [11:35] bi0ne: there are too many differences to enumerate here, check out http://www.kde.org and http://www.gnome.org [11:45] ask again [11:45] which version of kubuntu is stable ? [11:46] flash wont work in konqueror whats up? Do I have to do something special to make it work? FF works fine. [11:46] bi0ne: well, all Kubuntu releases are :) [11:46] even 9.04 ? [11:46] bi0ne: else we wouldn't release it [11:46] of course, why do you think otherwise? [11:47] hmm if ever i install kubuntu will you guarantee me that i can run my http server, psybnc normally ? [11:47] biOne: Maybe you are thinking of LTS [11:48] bi0ne: also, http servers are not desktop dependent [11:49] im planning to run my http server for sharing files .. ? [11:49] what would you think ? [11:49] bi0ne: well, that's entirely up to you to choose [11:50] roar! [11:50] bi0ne: also, don't forget to check the licenses of the files you want to share [11:50] heheh [11:50] thanks anyway [11:50] bi0ne: yaw :) [11:51] no need of licenses i program it [12:13] hrm, does anyone know how to merge 2 ppt presentations?

[15:12] good morning [15:12] I configured an samba share with ownership for nobody:sambashare, but my users cant save files on that [15:13] hi everyone...,I got a problem with plasma in KDE 4.2.4, very often it freeze all the plasmoid I have on my system, even the panel and apparently without reasons .... [15:14] someone have had the same problem ? [15:14] AlexZion: what graphics card do you have? [15:14] it's really unconfortable and I'd like to solve it at soon as possible [15:15] my graphic card is an Nvidia GeForce go 7300 [15:15] afeijo: nobody is a user, unless you have everyone in group sambashare and the folder set to group write it won't work [15:15] are you using the nvidia driver? [15:16] captmiddy: thanks for reply, how can I check the sambashare group? [15:16] mc? [15:16] I'm using the driver suggest from Kubuntu ..., I mean the who is installed with the Driver application [15:16] afeijo: well when logged into the system you can type groups at the command line to get a list of your groups [15:16] Hi, im trying to install a package in adept, and when I try to install it says "BREAK (install)" how can I figure out why its doing this and how I can resolve it? [15:16] you can also use the kde admin tools for users and look at that [15:17] I'm using shell, groups cmd I will try [15:17] makuseru: I don't know how to use adept personally or I would try to help, I am more of a command line installer type. [15:18] captmiddy: when I try to install it from the command line, it just tells me i need a package i already have [15:18] I'm using compiz, it could be the responsablefor this problem ? [15:18] makuseru: type sudo apt-get dist-upgrade then sudo apt-get install -f [15:18] see if that clears it [15:18] Tried that., [15:18] AlexZion: yes that could be the problem, why don't you use KDE desktop effects? [15:19] just because I like the fancy compiz staff .. :) [15:19] AlexZion: like? === test is now known as Guest83315 [15:20] captmiddy: from windows the user cannot save files, but I tested his acct thru shell and it worked [15:20] 3D desktop, or the Emerald futures and staff like that ... [15:20] not sure what 3D desktop is, I have cube on KDE [15:20] I have found that for the most part I am happy with KDE desktop effects when I configure them [15:21] I used to use compiz but found it less than stable with soem applications I used [15:21] yeah probably it is less stable unfortunately ... [15:22] I wanted stable rather than all the glitz that I hardly used and I could get much of what I found 'useful' in kde desktop effects. [15:22] I work on this machine, my boss wouldn't be happy if I kept crashing myself ;-) [15:22] afeijo: so when you log into the shell it works? [15:22] do you have any kind of wlooby windows or the expo effects in KDE effects ? [15:22] captmiddy: yes [15:23] AlexZion: there is wobbly windows not sure what expo was [15:23] I haven't used compiz for about 2 years now [15:23] I got tired of running metacity under kde to get it to work [15:23] if I started under kwin then the effects came on to replace the window manager kde would crash on me [15:24] so I should try with KDE effects [15:24] of course that was back in my gentoo days, ubuntu was likely more stable. [15:24] afeijo: it could be the way it is shared, my experience in setting up samba shares is admittedly weak. [15:25] afeijo: it could also be the UMASK setting that Samba is running under [15:25] another question ..., i was running now Kwin as a window manager , but I checked in synaptic , and is not installed , it's normal ? [15:25] but that wold be a bigger issue to track down [15:26] AlexZion: I think kwin is a transition package but I could be wrong. If you are running compiz it replaces the window manager I think [15:26] at least back when i used it, it did [15:26] you can alway check with ps aux to see if it is running [15:27] right , but in anycase I can switch between Kwin and compiz using Icon Fusion.... and both of them seem to works ... [15:27] kwin is part of kde-window-manager [15:28] the kwin package I think is there because some old packages may depend on it [15:28] so probably it's installed by default even if the package in synaptic seems to be not installed ... [15:28] no what I mean is that the kwin package itself may contain no files at all [15:28] ok , I got it .... [15:28] yea the kwin package only contains documentation [15:29] no programs [15:29] ok I got it ... [15:30] so I'll try with kde effects to see if I can get thesame functionality as before .... [15:30] thank a lot mate , so I'll let you know .... [15:31] I am using kde 4.3, in the System Setting, Login in Manger, there is no admin mode button, I cannot be able to set auto login. [15:33] 4.3 is missing several things still [15:33] yoga: you need to start it with kdesudo systemsettings [15:35] Mamarok: I see.

[15:59] mackk431: history of kde?? [16:00] mackk431: in recently used? [16:00] (ignore earlier comment) [16:00] the documents who are recently beeing used i mean [16:01] mackk431: ok,what is the name of the thing not being removed? [16:01] so ive gotten my server up, which is great but samba isnt working at all. I think its my netopia router thats causing the issue so Im having to use NFS which isnt bad at all [16:01] helloooo [16:01] it is an url which i opened with konqueror [16:02] mackk431: ok try deleting the history of konqueror and try again [16:02] ok [16:03] mackk431: did it solve the problem? [16:03] if i dd an entire device which contains 2 partitions will i get both partitions? [16:03] still trying to find the history in konquerer to delete it [16:04] konqueror has no history :) [16:04] mackk431: go > history [16:04] mackk431: go where i told you :) [16:06] Hello. Is Kubuntu better than Ubuntu and why? [16:07] nikola: kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde [16:07] oh wow he is right, there is no clear recent documents on lancelot either. [16:07] Oh right lol, sorru [16:07] its better cause it uses kde. :) [16:07] * Mamarok waves the OT flag....

[16:08] mackk431: ok,is this lancelot or the standard kde kickoff [16:09] i dont know :) [16:09] nikola: I wish I knew, I love the kubuntu setup in general but for some reason I just can't get wireless to work on my laptop if I install kubuntu directly [16:09] Hmm [16:09] mackk431: did you change anything in the taskbar? [16:10] not that i know [16:10] but my desktop is kubuntu all the way. But as mentioned at the base level it is just kde versus gnome as default desktop environment, and that isn't something that belongs here [16:10] captmiddy: try it out with 4.3 when it comes out [16:10] shadeslayer: you mean karmic? [16:10] Mamarok: arora keeps crahing [16:10] captmiddy: no on jaunty.. [16:10] I am running KDE 4.3 B2 now [16:10] i pulled some program icons in it to use them as shortcut [16:11] shadeslayer: it is an odd problem, if I install ubuntu then the kubuntu features on top, using just the KDE network stuff everything works [16:11] mackk431: does right clicking in recent documents and selecting " clear recent documents " not work ? [16:11] if I do it the other way, my wireless will not wok properly [16:11] is there a systemlog file somewhere which i could change to get rid of the url [16:11] no [16:12] mackk431: there would be a file inside .kde folder [16:12] but deleting that while kde is running may have no effect [16:12] mackk431: its bount to be in ~/.kde :) [16:12] ok [16:12] i just put kickoff back on there is no clear function present [16:13] snarkster: when you right click in the recent window you don't get clear recent documents? [16:13] ah yes I do, thank youy [16:14] you [16:14] mackk431: see in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/ [16:15] Mamarok: where is the recent documents file stored? [16:15] take a look in ~/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments [16:15] recent documents? [16:15] recently used [16:16] shadeslayer: every user related configuration or setting is always stored somewhere in ~/.kde/share/config or ~/.kde/share/apps/ [16:17] Mamarok: ok.. mackk431 look above :) [16:17] shadeslayer: that's not what I understood form his/her question... [16:18] Mamarok: ok now on to arora,it crashed on loading a site,look at : http://paste.ubuntu.com/203628/ [16:18] it's about removing an URL from the konqueror history, or did I miss something? [16:18] Mamarok: he actually wants to clear his history of recently used [16:19] shadeslayer: so far it never crashed on me, and don't expect miracles, it's only 0.7.0 :) [16:19] shadeslayer suggested to delete konqueror history in order to get the history of kde of recently used documents clearable [16:19] Mamarok: hehe... [16:19] mackk431: what do you want to clear? it's a bit confusing... [16:19] cause that was my prob that there is still one url who refuses being deleted [16:19] url in konqueror you mean?

It is possible you opened it as root but it ended up in your home folder. [16:24] do a ctrl-esc and bring up the taskmagr [16:24] if you don't own the file it may not clear when you attempt to clear the history [16:25] exit [16:25] exit [16:26] yes that could be true but what ownes the url file? [16:26] root might own it [16:26] or another user [16:26] i opened taskmanager there is no konqueror process and no firefox process what i usually use to access url pages [16:27] so does it appear in your ~/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments??? [16:27] i cant find the ~/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments [16:28] hi [16:28] Is there a good partition tool for kubuntu? qtparted couldn't be found [16:28] ok copy that from ~ to s in documents open dolphin right click the address bar and choose edit, then paste that intot he address bar [16:31] ok there is no file in ~/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments [16:31] totally empty [16:31] wait there is one hidden ".directory" [16:31] !info partitionmanager | Matisse [16:31] Matisse: partitionmanager (source: partitionmanager): partition manager for KDE.

How to install them? [19:31] thanks kaddi [19:32] ahh got it I have to make dist-upgrade. why this happens on 9.04 installed from original disk?

[19:40] is there an easy way to figure out the packages belonging to an executable. Eg I have dropbox, but apt-cache search dropbox doesn't reveal anything. How do I find the package from dropbox? [19:40] kaddi: i think dpkg -s /usr/bin should show that [19:40] hi, can you help me? [19:41] pr1zrak: state the problem please === administrateur is now known as Hel0ck [19:41] how i can compile Makefile.in? [19:41] what command :( [19:41] !compile | pr1zrak [19:41] pr1zrak: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [19:42] i try install nsca_auth [19:42] po russki govorit kto? [19:43] pr1zrak: suh..what? [19:43] *uh [19:44] !ru | pr1zrak [19:44] pr1zrak: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [19:44] i need install NSCA, but in install folder NSCA exists Makefile.in, Makefile.am [19:44] how i can install it? [19:45] I can not get quassel to display white on black instead of black on white. I am confused [19:45] pr1zrak: sudo apt-get install nsca [19:45] already installed [19:46] but i dont have nsca_auth in /usr/sbin [19:46] pr1zrak: ok do dpkg -s /usr/bin/nsca_auth [19:47] pcfreak_- I know it's possible, because I had it for a while. Fortunately there are new Konversation packages, so I haven't used Quassel in a while [19:48] Dragnslcr: should go back to konversation [19:49] pr1zrak: what was the output [19:53] honestly, this sing is driving me insane. XD there is n dropbox executable in usr/bin, bin or anywhere else. I deleted all folders containing the word dropbox and this thing still manages to get started when I open a folder. :/ Any ideas where to look for that executable or how to stop dropbox from starting with dolphin= [19:53] *thing, and *? [19:55] kaddi: try reinstall openbox and removing with --purge remove [19:55] +to [19:56] shadeslayer: I can't find the package for dropbox in the reps, openbox is a windowmanager apparently. Otherwise I would have tried that already [19:56] kaddi: bah..too bad...ive run out of options [19:57] me too .. a long time ago.. nothing left to do, but throw the PC out of the window ;) [19:58] kaddi: or do a reinstall [19:59] na, I won't be beaten by a stupid application.. there must be a way to remove this thing [20:00] kaddi: google around..im out of options :) === siegie is now known as siegie_ [20:03] My wireless worked this morning, but after shutting down the computer for an hour, then coming back, wireless isn't working at all. I'm connected through the Ethernet at the moment. What would have caused this? [20:04] picketfences: ok can you get the wifi card up? [20:04] as in up and scanning for networks ? [20:05] Yes. Doing ifconfig shows the wlan0 and wmaster0 both Up, Broadcasing, and Running. [20:05] picketfences: what kind of authentication? i think WPA doesnt work atm [20:05] I believe it is WEP [20:05] It has worked fine for the past month with no problems, though. [20:06] !wifi | picketfences [20:06] picketfences: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:06] any avid user of amarok?? [20:07] shadeslayer: Thank you, I will look through this and come back if I still have any problems. [20:13] i accidentally deleted the system clock on the taskbar, how do i get it back? === Nathan is now known as Guest96844 [20:13] gob: right click taskbar > add widgets > clock [20:14] gob: better : right click taskbar > panel options > add widgets [20:14] ah [20:14] thank you very much [20:14] worked [20:19] is there a client equivalent to itunes for kubuntu? [20:20] amarok is probably the closest [20:21] suman: for basically transferring songs to your iPod? [20:21] !ipod | suman [20:21] suman: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [20:21] you could use banshee although it uses mono which some people have problems with since it is patent encumbered but it works pretty well with ipods [20:21] yeah..banshee is very good at handling ipods [20:21] hey I had this kickstart "recent document" open problem [20:22] mackk431: yes... [20:22] after 4 reboots it disapeared suddenly and i have no explanation why :( [20:22] mackk431: wow.... [20:22] :) [20:22] I have a strange issue. firefox gives me an error everytime I try to start it that it is already running and I have to killall to get it to work. gcstar also starts movies in smplayer without sound. both programs work fine if I log in using gnome but not kde 4.2.3 any ideas? [20:22] shadeslayer: that is rite [20:23] mackk431: i think it might be a kbuildsycoca thing since it refreshes the kde cache [20:23] ubottu: thanks will check it out [20:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:23] the more i learn linux the more i dont understand [20:24] its like a square function [20:24] mackk431: lol... linux is pretty cool [20:24] bjb1959_: I've got the same problem with FF, all I've gotten is that Flash will make FF linger on long after it has actually been closed. However this also happens when I don't open flashsites to me. So far there seems to be no fix [20:24] yes thats true [20:24] mackk431: hehe....kbuildsycoca is the program which refreshes KDE cache , basically thumbnails and such [20:25] ok thanks i will learn about kbuildsycoca [20:25] mackk431: see man kbuildsycoca [20:25] mackk431: also man kbuildsycoca4 :) [20:26] shadeslayer: Even though the website was for PCMCIA wireless cards, I read through it anyway. I was not able to find anything that mentioned why Network Manager could not see the router. [20:26] shadeslayer: I even tried the madwifi driver, and that didn't help. [20:26] picketfences: ok,open a console and type iwlist scan and see if it show your router [20:27] shadeslayer: For wlan0 No scan results [20:28] All others say Interface does not support scanning [20:28] picketfences: hmm...that probably means : A) the card is not functioning ( probability == low ) or B)a problem in the router [20:29] picketfences: one sec [20:29] picketfences: did you try wicd [20:29] !wicd | picketfences [20:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd [20:29] !info wicd | picketfences [20:29] picketfences: wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.9-2 (jaunty), package size 247 kB, installed size 1860 kB [20:30] shadeslayer: I don't think so. It doesn't look familiar. Hang on and I will try it. [20:30] shadeslayer: If I install it now, will it kill my ethernet before it is up and running? [20:31] i just installed banshee.... and i get the error "DBus is not available"... any clues?? [20:31] picketfences: probably...but you can bring it up with ifconfig [20:32] shadeslayer: How do I run wicd? And will it show an applet icon? [20:32] shadeslayer: Scratch that. [20:33] picketfences: picketfences https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD [20:33] shadeslayer: I found the Wicd Manager, and even it says no wireless connections available. [20:33] wicd will show up in the kicker under internet , once you install it [20:33] nobody's used bansheee or got the error?? [20:33] suman: i used it about a week ago..no such error [20:34] picketfences: i think there is some problem with the drivers or the router [20:34] shadeslayer: alrite.... i guess god hates me.. [20:35] suman: try amarok.. [20:35] picketfences, click on preferences in wicd manager and type wlan0 in the wireless box [20:35] BluesKaj: It has wlan0 listed there already. [20:36] How do I execute a shell command in Alt+F2 ? [20:36] yoga: just type it [20:36] BluesKaj: ive already tried with iwlist scan as well..... [20:36] shadeslayer: it will use my PATH? [20:37] shadeslayer: i have amarok.. can we download podcasts using amarok?? [20:37] yoga: path?? what command are you trying to execute? [20:37] picketfences, in the advanced tab choose wext [20:37] suman: i think so [20:37] suman: lemme check [20:37] BluesKaj: Already selected [20:37] shadeslayer: alrite... i am trying too. [20:37] Might I need to reboot in order to get Wicd working? [20:37] suman: see the internet tab on the left? [20:38] suman: theres " Podcast Directory " there :) [20:38] shadeslayer: I create a shell script in my path to invoke netbeans. [20:39] yoga: by default it uses you home folder i think... just run the command what you would run in a terminal [20:39] *your [20:39] shadeslayer: i dont have the internet tab.. what version are you running? [20:40] BluesKaj: I will go ahead and reboot. I will be back to let you know if it works or not. [20:40] suman: its on the far left...version 2.1.1 [20:41] i am running the on that comes with ubuntu hardy..1.4.9 [20:41] need to upgrade [20:41] suman: what!! what version of ubuntu? [20:41] whoops.. [20:42] suman: i have 2.1.1 and it has podcasts...i suggest you upgrade to 9.04 [20:42] ill brb [20:42] i installed kubuntu 9.04 but got some problem with my graphics card [20:42] the xorg process was using upto 60% cpu [20:42] shadeslayer: I have to type in the hold path. [20:42] suman: intel card? [20:42] shadeslayer: yeah rite.. [20:43] suman: too bad..try 8.10 with amarok 2.1... [20:43] yoga: you mean whole path?? yes...use ~ for /home/$USER/ [20:44] ubuntu 8.04 doesnot support amarok 2.1??? [20:44] shadeslayer: i want to upgrade.. but i was skeptical after the last upgrade.... [20:44] BluesKaj & shadeslayer:: I don't know what the difference is, but Wicd connected right up after I entered the WEP key. I am connected wirelessly now. Thank you both for your assistance. [20:45] shadeslayer: i use this notebook for work so cant fool around with as much as i would have liked to [20:46] suman: use a live cd to do a clean install.a clean install always helps [20:46] picketfences: glad we could help :) [20:47] I have another problem: Whenever I select "open containing folder" for a download in firefox the folder is opened with nautilus instead of dolphin. I checked the inode/directory setting, it is set to dolphin and I added config-entries for externalfiles in FF to open with dolphin. both did not resolve the problem [20:49] kaddi_: what about default applications?? (opening nautilus also draws your background so once you open it,your memory usage increases even after you close it ) [20:50] shadeslayer: alrite... although i did a clean install to jaunty last week.. [20:50] suman: you should have read the release notes.. [20:50] shadeslayer: will look around and probably upgrade to 8.10 if there are not much issues.. [20:50] shadeslayer: i should have... my bad... [20:50] suman: 8.10 was quite stable [20:50] can anyone help me i'm using kopete to use my yahoo account it is now showing error 10 connection actively refused, i had some advice from annother person here a couple days ago to change the server which helped for 2 days then it started again any help would be appreciated [20:51] !yahoo | brandon [20:51] brandon: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [20:51] shadeslayer: that is cool.... [20:51] shadeslayer: thanks for bearing with my many stupid problems. :D Default application for file is dolphin. I don't have one for directory. do you think I should create one? [20:51] the paging server of cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com is what i did a couple days ago that did help but now it is refusing connection too [20:52] brandon: no other help available..sorry..use the latest version of pidgin if necessary [20:53] ok thanx [20:53] kaddi_: run kbuildsyscoca4 in a terminal [20:54] kaddi_: it will refresh the system config cache...and hopefully set dolphin to the file manager [20:54] kaddi_: this is the reason i ditched gnome...it messed up my KDE [20:54] hehe "man" to the rescue I was just checking what it does ;) [20:54] :) [20:55] didn't help though :( [20:55] kaddi, sorry. I am at work and had to take another call. but I have determined it's a kde 4 issue just not sure what the issue would be [20:56] kaddi, this is about the ff issue [20:56] bjb1959_: did you check for bugs? [20:56] kaddi_: no idea... [20:56] what is the best way to upgrade from kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10... not going the clean install way though... [20:57] suman: do you have a stable and fast internet connection? [20:57] yes i do.. === kb is now known as Guest75240 [20:57] suman: stable power supply? [20:57] shadeslayer: yup... [20:57] !upgrade | suman [20:57] suman: 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 [20:58] shadeslayer: what was that?? [20:58] I tried but couldn't find anything specific. just people talking about deleting the .parentlock file etc. the only work around I found was creating a script that runs killall firefox first and then the program [20:59] suman: if you didnt have a stable connection i would have advised a alternate CD...which has a upgrade script.. [20:59] suman: that was a bot message with instructions for you [20:59] shadeslayer: alrite..cool... thanks..... i will use the internet... [20:59] Mamarok: duh-uh me... thanks..
