[01:34] i didnt know virtualBox could do usb disks [01:34] shumba, which vbox? the -ose or the other [01:34] the manual says they can but does not say how in useful detail [01:34] shumba, the -ose does not support usb [01:35] ie the one from the repos [01:35] !info virtualbox-ose [01:35] virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox-ose): x86 virtualization solution - binaries.

[01:50] there maybe a way to install ver.2 in intrepid, let me check [01:51] Could possibly be something like update amarok. [01:51] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [01:53] http://www.kubuntu.org/amarok2-beta2 this seems to be a bit out of date, but the most relevant I could find atm [01:53] need to enable a PPA [01:55] sudo apt-get install amarok-kde4 [01:55] Found it. [01:55] But yeah. [01:55] I found it. [01:56] Thank you bazhang. [02:10] anyone happen to know why after setting my date and time to be done automatically it doesnt stick? [02:11] r3db0x: changing the date/time requires root, and systemsettings does a terrible job of telling you this currently [02:11] r3db0x- nope, but if you find out, let me know [02:12] r3db0x: kdesudo systemsettings -- then look for the settings you want to correct [02:12] p_quarles- no, it does ask for a password, it just doesn't keep the setting [02:14] p_quarles: i have already made the changes in system settings many times [02:14] r3db0x: did you run systemsettings as root? [02:15] i put in my passwd just like i do for other changes i make [02:15] could i make the change via command line? [02:15] yes, but if you run all of systemsettings with kdesudo instead of normally, the permissions issues in systemsettings won't thwart you [02:17] p_quarles: i ran kdesudo systemsettings made the change and then closed out the system settings. went back and it still didnt stick [02:17] r3db0x: well, you can always install and configure ntpdate to accomplish the same thing [02:18] true i was just curious if it was a known issue or if I had something wierd happening here [02:19] everyone seems to be having some kind of issue with that module; whether it's kubuntu-specific or upstream I don't know [02:20] fair enough....i will just wait and see if it gets resolved down the road. [02:30] If I use ssh -X to connect to another account that has KDE apps. How would I let those KDE apps popup notifications on my normal account (I presume though knotify, so can knotify be configured to allow other users to... notify it?) [02:32] origin- that shouldn't be specific to Kubuntu, so if nobody here can help you with it, you might also try #kde [02:33] Ohh okay, thanks. =) [02:33] Sorry for asking in the wrong chanel [02:39] Out of absolutely random curiosity, is anyone active in here atm?

[05:53] crazyyy' [05:53] mebbe [06:37] Hi, can someone help me with wireless trouble? [06:40] what's the trouble? [06:41] I'm on the phone with my friend who is trying to get wireless working on Kubuntu Jaunty. We've been working at it all day and haven't gotten it to work. She's just installed the latest madwifi driver but it isn't working. [06:41] Her wireless card is D-link WDA 1320 and is supposed to work 'out of the box' with Ubuntu. [06:42] After compiling the drivers and loading the module, and after a reboot, ifconfig and iwconfig still will not display anything for wireless. [06:55] AndorinKato: The module shows up in lsmod ? [06:56] Daskreech: Yes. [06:57] what does sudo ifconfig -a say ? [06:58] It only has eth0, lo and pan0. === MyUser4I is now known as PolitkerNEU [07:05] AndorinKato: Hrrm what driver is being used? [07:07] One of my programs is too tall to fit on my screen, and when i try to resize it, it only lets me adjust the width of it. Ive tried reinstalling the program and it didnt help. How can i fix this? [07:09] Daskreech: Latest madwifi. 0.9.4 [07:09] fg56xfd: hold down alt and right click drag it down it should resize it [07:10] Daskreech: When i do that It still only lets me ajust the width. [07:10] fg56xfd: use a less annoying program? [07:11] Daskreech: There isnt a good alternative to it. [07:12] fg56xfd: Get a higher resolution monitor/video card combo [07:12] Daskreech: Thats hardly a good work-around for it at all. [07:13] fg56xfd: What program is it? [07:13] CoJaBo-Aztec: Ardour. [07:13] fg56xfd: If it's an open source app then get the source and tweak teh size down to suit yourself [07:13] Otherwise complain to the guys who made it [07:14] IMHO there should be a window manager feature to force it to a smaller size. [07:14] (Compiz has a shrink window, tho its buggy :/ ) [07:14] There probably is unless it set a absolute min size [07:15] Problem is some apps set a min size bigger than screen res o_O [07:15] I didnt have this problem with it when i used it on KDE3. [07:17] Can anyone help? [07:21] Daskreech: Any ideas? [07:21] AndorinKato: ? [07:22] Well, you last asked my driver version, after all. [07:22] !wifi [07:22] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:22] AndorinKato: check those [07:23] AndorinKato: Also doubble and triple check that the wifi card is enabled in the bios, and the wifi switch is on. [07:24] AndorinKato: Ah the wifi switch does she have that on? [07:24] CoJaBo-Aztec: Apparently there is no section in her BIOS for enabling that. [07:25] AndorinKato: Look for a kill switch [07:25] Daskreech: Madwifi info on that link might help; however she does not have a wifi switch, so she sayas. [07:25] says [07:26] ok [07:26] Not all computers have one (tho on ones that do, it is usually well hidden, in a place likely to be bumped lol) [07:27] Fyi, she went to sleep now, but I can probably answer basic questions since I was working with her practically all day. [07:27] AndorinKato: ok has the wifi ever worked? [07:28] With a different hard drive, she ran Windows 7 beta and the wireless worked. The connection died a lot, though, without a proper driver for it. [07:29] No kill switch or anything ? [07:29] Not as far as she knows. I'd imagine that she'd know if there were one on there considering that she works fairly extensively with her computers. [07:30] Ok great. So she loaded up Ubuntu and it loaded the driver? [07:31] It recognizes that the driver is installed, and apparently recognizes the module (as you asked us to look into) but wireless continues to be unavailable. [07:33] Her wireless card is a D-link WDA 1320 with an Atheros chipset, which is what madwifi is supposed to support. [07:34] AndorinKato: you said that it was supported then you said you had to compile. did it load the supported driver? [07:34] When? [07:36] When you first loaded up before deciding to compile [07:37] When Kubuntu was first installed, you mean? [07:37] Yes [07:37] I'm not sure. I assume that it didn't because we're having wireless trouble in the first place. [07:37] >_> [07:37] Would have been nice to check that first. [07:38] in any case. you have installed a new driver. is it not loading the default driver now so that you don't have two of them running? [07:38] I'm relatively new to the workings of Linux. [07:39] Is it possible to have multiple drivers installed at the same time for the same hardware? [07:39] Yes [07:39] Unless they are on a conflict list [07:39] I see. [07:39] Would it impede performance if this were the case? [07:40] Which is likely but then madwifi is a wrapper of sorts. It's supposed to conflict with a whole list of things but lets just say for some reasons it may not [07:40] Okay. [07:40] maybe Most likely you would get more devices than actually exist [07:41] Right now she is at a point where she can reinstall Kubuntu at a whim. Do you recommend this and attempting to get the default driver to function before using any others? [07:42] AndorinKato: well if it's supposed to work I think it's probably supposed to work. [07:42] The question being, of course, why it isn't. [07:43] AndorinKato: Since it's a much lower level than the De you can get help here and in #ubuntu if you like which ever is more helpful at the moment [07:43] AndorinKato: Right which is why I wanted to know if it loaded the driver at all when you first installed [07:43] How do you check whether it did? [07:43] Though really just running the Live CD should answer that [07:43] lsmod | grep driver_me [07:44] * AndorinKato writes that down [07:44] drivername [07:44] sorry :) [07:44] Oh, okay. [07:45] Being the name of the default driver? [07:45] Right whatever that's supposed to be I don't have a Dlink so I don't know but !wifi should tell you at least [07:45] !wifi [07:45] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:47] hi all [07:48] !Hi | noaXess [07:48] noaXess: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [07:48] if i print any pdf in okular then the output on a normal A4 paper is resized, smaller then the original.. i can't see where the problem is.. [07:48] if i do this: cupsdoprint -P ISC2020 -H localhost:631 -o Copies=1,Orientation=Portrait file.pdf then the print is as the original.. A4 [07:49] hey Daskreech :) [07:49] Mm, I'm not seeing anything that tells me the default drivers for devices. [07:49] have allready deleted the okular rc files in /home/user/.kde/share/config [07:50] Closest I can find is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros since her D-link has an Atheros chipset. [07:50] Talks about an "ath5k module" in the beginning. [07:51] ok then you should be looking for lsmod | grep ath [07:51] Ok. [07:52] So let's imagine that it does load the default driver upon installation. What can we do to figure out how to enable the wireless? [07:53] well if it's loading the driver but not the wireless things get geekier but you can ask help from there === sixofour___ is now known as sixofour____ [07:54] Okay. [07:54] And in the event that it's not loading, we can go ahead with the madwifi? [07:54] Or try to fix it so that it does load? [07:54] If it's not loading then you can probably just do the madwifi since that probably has a lot more documentation [07:55] M'kay. [07:55] if you want to you can get some help to try load it. [07:55] Would we want to uninstall the default driver first? [07:55] Well if it's loading and not working and you want to do madwifi youmay want to blacklist it [07:56] Alright. [07:57] So basically just examine the default driver and go from there. [07:58] yeah I've had to do some intersting things in the past like blacklist the default driver and load a secondary as it conflicted with some PCMIA controller [08:00] Ok. Thanks a lot for your assistance. :) [08:43] wow is it ever quiet in here this morning === ZeiP_ is now known as ZeiP [09:15] some 1 here?

[16:02] Zxcvb: 4 GB id *minimum* for / [16:02] *is [16:03] shadeslayer: so 500MB for /, 4GB for /usr, and the rest for home? [16:03] shadeslayer: with /opt linked to /usr/opt [16:03] Zxcvb: i would allocate 5GB,just to be sure that when i install some packages,i dont run out of space [16:03] BluesKaj- as far as I know, sudo always has the potential to break things if you run GUI apps with it [16:04] Zxcvb- any particular reason to split / and /usr? [16:04] Dragnslcr: fsck, mainly [16:04] Zxcvb: hmmm...i would allocate a total 5GB for / (all of it together) and rest for /home... [16:04] Dragnslcr: you can cancel a fsck on /usr without problems but if you cancel a fsck on /, you can't continue to boot normally [16:04] Dragnslcr, that's news to me, butguess one learns something new everyday [16:05] BluesKaj: you bet! :) [16:05] I wouldn't think fsck would take all that long on a 5 GB partition [16:05] unless there is a way around that issue where if you ctrl-c out of a fsck on /, it won't let you continue to boot normally (you can only go into single user mode or reboot) [16:06] Zxcvb: especially with ext4..... i can fsck on a 30 GB / partition in under 15 sec [16:06] hi i have problem with hd external , i cant write on it even i use terminal as root , this problem begin after 4 days when i install kubuntu 9.04 [16:06] Heho: what format? [16:07] vfat [16:07] Heho: somebody once advised me not to use Fat on external drives/partitions.... [16:07]
