| Dragnslcr | !info partitionmanager | AndorinKato | 00:25 |
| ubottu | AndorinKato: partitionmanager (source: partitionmanager): partition manager for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.0~beta1a-0ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 527 kB, installed size 1968 kB | 00:25 |
| kaddi | kubuntu_: does it give you a command you should run? If so executing usually solves the problem :) | 00:26 |
| kubuntu_ | yes but it doesnt solve it | 00:26 |
| kaddi | what does it say when you run the command? | 00:27 |
| AndorinKato | Is there any particular reason why a fresh install of Kubuntu Jaunty would not have partitionmanager installed? | 00:28 |

| elohim | hi | 00:31 |
| kaddi | hi :) | 00:31 |
| elohim | i need to run a recent kernel with kde 3.5 | 00:31 |
| elohim | KDE4 sucks. | 00:31 |
| elohim | is there a tutorial to remove KDE4 and install 3.5 ? | 00:31 |
| kubuntu_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/206635/ | 00:32 |
| AndorinKato | Is there any particular reason why a fresh install of Kubuntu Jaunty would not have partitionmanager installed? | 00:32 |
| kaddi | https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jauntyelohim: | 00:32 |
| kaddi | argh, elohim: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty | 00:32 |
| elohim | ok | 00:32 |
| elohim | i thought jaunty came with kde4 | 00:33 |
| kaddi | AndorinKato: I would guess because most people don't need to use it once they have partitioned their harddisk. but I don't know | 00:33 |
| kaddi | elohim: It does. But some people believe KDE3 du be more stable and did the work to get kde3 working on it again ;) | 00:33 |
| kaddi | *to even | 00:34 |
| elohim | so after i install jaunty, how do i rid of kde4 and install 3.5 | 00:34 |
| AndorinKato | Well, we need a partition editor. | 00:34 |
| elohim | AndorinKato: i like gparted | 00:34 |
| AndorinKato | elohim: On Kubuntu? | 00:35 |
| elohim | yeah so ? | 00:35 |
| elohim | it works | 00:35 |
| elohim | qtparted sucks | 00:35 |
| FloodBotK1 | elohim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:35 |
| AndorinKato | elohim: She doesn't have it. | 00:35 |
| elohim | so install it | 00:35 |
| AndorinKato | elohim: She can't. She does not have an Internet connection. | 00:35 |
| elohim | fdisk | 00:36 |
| kubuntu_ | apt-get upgrade | 00:36 |
| AndorinKato | So apt-get works without an Internet connection, does it? | 00:36 |
| elohim | how do i get rid of kde4 and install 3.5 after installing jaunty ? | 00:36 |
| kubuntu_ | kaddi: any thoughts? | 00:37 |
| kaddi | kubuntu_: I'm googling. My thought is that the package you downloaded might have been corrupted. I would try to clean the cache and download the packages again. | 00:38 |
| kubuntu_ | well the wholemachine froze in the middle | 00:39 |
| kaddi | kubuntu_: you could use sudo apt-get clean and then try to download the packages again afterwards | 00:39 |
| kubuntu_ | all i was doing was removing totem-xine and installing totem-gstreamer | 00:39 |
| kaddi | kubuntu_: removing all downloaded files has helped me once with a similar problem, so it might be worth a try | 00:40 |
| kubuntu_ | kaddi: still nothing | 00:41 |
| kaddi | it shouldn't hurt. All it does is delete the package you downloaded for installation | 00:41 |
| kubuntu_ | something about unable to execute post-installation script | 00:41 |
| kaddi | then maybe try uninstalling everything and reinstalling it. But by now I'm only guessing. | 00:42 |
| kaddi | You can also force an installation with "sudo apt-get install -f <packagename>" maybe that'll work? | 00:42 |
| kubuntu_ | thas the thing it wont even uninstall | 00:42 |
| kubuntu_ | first time i ever even had the whole system freeze | 00:43 |
| kubuntu_ | where is this post-installation script anyways? | 00:44 |
| kaddi | AndorinKato: I had a look around, the main argument seems to be, that you can't configure partitions that are mounted, so a partitionmanager in a running ubuntu is not very useful. this is why it is not instaled by default | 00:45 |
| AndorinKato | As we just discovered. | 00:45 |
| AndorinKato | I am going to KILL my friend's computer. | 00:45 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, no livecd lying around? | 00:47 |
| AndorinKato | She's booting from it now. | 00:47 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, isn't parted installed by default? | 00:48 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: Yes, but it's useless to her in the install. | 00:48 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 00:49 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, (i'm sure you've already explained, but i wasn't around...) | 00:49 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: She needs to completely wipe her hard drive because she needs to install Windows 7 but it won't format her drive for some reason. | 00:49 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, and you said she has no internet access? | 00:49 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: The entire reason we're having all these problems is because her Kubuntu install will not do a THING with her wireless card. | 00:50 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, cant you plug into router/modem? | 00:50 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: We've been working for three days to get it working and we continue to hit brick walls at each turn. | 00:50 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: Nope, she has to connect via wireless. | 00:50 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus: could you take a look at kubuntu_'s problem as well: http://paste.ubuntu.com/206635/ I suggested apt-get clean, apt-get install -f and uninstalling the items that are giving problem. nothing worked | 00:50 |
| kaddi | I'm at a loss | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, nothing to do with Kubuntu, but can't you just make a DBAN disc, boot from it and wipe the whole drive? | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, lemme see | 00:51 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: I don't know, I'm still rather new to Linux. | 00:51 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, it's not a linux-specific thing. just an .iso to download and burn to disc. boot from the disc --> wipe the entire thing. | 00:52 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, so 'totem-gstreamer' is the offending package here? | 00:54 |
| kaddi | yes, (s)he was removing totem-xine and installing totem-gstreamer, when the system froze. now (s)he can't install | 00:55 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, well, (s)he bailed on us, so it's no use anyway :P | 00:55 |
| kaddi | and apparently (s)he is gone. :/ | 00:55 |
| kaddi | hehe, obviously, yes | 00:55 |
| kaddi | but are there any other obvious solutions than cleaning the cache and trying to force install? | 00:56 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, maybe a dist-upgrade or build-dep | 00:56 |
| kaddi | thank you :) | 00:56 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, just guessing... apt packing is awesome, but it still has its quirks ;) | 00:57 |
| ign0ramus | *packaging | 00:57 |
| kaddi | way too many options for me... I know three commands, that has been enough so far :D | 00:58 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: We may not need it. One, it would be extra hassle right now and this has been MORE THAN ENOUGH hassle already. Two, she got parted on the live CD to erase most of the data on the drive. | 00:59 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, :) | 00:59 |
| AndorinKato | The only reason Windows 7 would not install now is if it needed the drive to be completely blank. It's not because parted would not erase the swap partition, saying it was being used. | 01:00 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, from the live cd, parted reported swap being in use? | 01:00 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: Yes. | 01:01 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, hmm... why do you say Win7 needs a fully blank drive? | 01:01 |
| AndorinKato | ign0ramus: It doesn't, I was speculating. She tells me it's installing now./ | 01:02 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, aha! Win7 only needs a partition to install to | 01:02 |
| ign0ramus | AndorinKato, but this is getting a little ot for this channel :) | 01:02 |
| kaddi | ever so slightly ;) | 01:03 |
| === TMKCodes is now known as TaMonKein | ||
| topramen | can anyone tell me why would I need to put a live cd in to do an update?<<<< | 01:25 |
| Dragnslcr | Maybe if you have the CD listed in your apt sources | 01:26 |
| topramen | ok thanks i just done that | 01:29 |
| eean | any idea where I can get the atl1e module? | 01:32 |
| eean | for my EeePC 1005HAB ethernet | 01:32 |
| AndorinKato | Okay, because Windows 7 is not recognizing her card either, we have came to the conclusion that it is her card that is at fault. | 01:34 |
| AndorinKato | Three days of extremely aggravating computer work for nothing. | 01:34 |
| kaddi | AndorinKato: my sympathies. :/ I know how this feels | 01:35 |
| AndorinKato | Thank you. | 01:35 |
| AndorinKato | As far as I can tell the best thing she can do is tell the person who bought the card that it's faulty. | 01:36 |
| Dragnslcr | Yeah, trying to troubleshoot problems that end up being broken hardware is rough | 01:37 |
| AndorinKato | *shrug* I don't know what other conclusion to come to. Installed Kubuntu 9.04 won't recognize the drive, even after extensive driver configuration. Neither will the live CD for it. Neither will Kubuntu Feisty. Neither will Windows 7. | 01:38 |
| AndorinKato | drive? card. | 01:38 |
| AndorinKato | She did open her PC at one point and double-check that the card is plugged in properly. | 01:39 |
| AndorinKato | Is there any other possibility for what's wrong? | 01:42 |
| kaddi | could be the "place where you inserted the card" that is defective. It would probably help if you had another card or another PC to test if the cards works on a different pc or if a different card works on your pc | 01:45 |
| kaddi | then you can see if it is the PC or the card that is the problem | 01:46 |
| DaskreeCH | AndorinKato: Hey | 01:55 |
| DaskreeCH | How goes your issue? | 01:55 |
| AndorinKato | DaskreeCH: Welllllll, she installed Windows 7 and it won't read her card either. | 01:56 |
| AndorinKato | kaddi: I passed your advice to her. She'll try it later. | 01:56 |
| AndorinKato | She has another card she can try, some Realtek piece. | 01:56 |
| AndorinKato | And other PCI ports. | 01:56 |
| DaskreeCH | AndorinKato: Same one that was wonky in Winows 7 before ? | 01:57 |
| AndorinKato | DaskreeCH: Yeah, but she thinks that it wasn't working quite properly because of a lack of a decent driver. This time she has the driver CD, but it won't let her install the driver for it. | 01:58 |
| DaskreeCH | AndorinKato: Alright It's too bad she doesn't have a nicer setup with either someone there to help bounce ideas off of or other hardware to test | 01:59 |
| AndorinKato | Indeed. | 02:00 |

| Mamarok | davidsands: please, this is a support channel only, such questions do belong in #kubuntu-offtopic | 10:49 |
| davidsands | Mamarok: ok. Why doesn't my Qt4 Settings choices get reflected in KDE apps run under Gnome? | 10:50 |
| davidsands | Mamarok: GTK+ is one of the look and feel options .. | 10:51 |
| Mamarok | davidsands: because you don't have all the packages installed I think | 10:51 |
| davidsands | Mamarok: I installed the complete package ... can use KDE as an option when logging in ... | 10:52 |
| Mamarok | davidsands: you need to install the oxygen icons for example | 10:52 |

| eshat | Hi all, why can I not aktivate Desktop Effects, when a beamer is connected? | 11:07 |
| alarm | goodmorning | 11:19 |
| alarm | is it normal for xorg to have always above 12-13% cpu usage ? even when i am not doing any process ? | 11:19 |
| alarm | i mean kwin and xorg keep my system even on idle above 20% alwats | 11:19 |
| alarm | always | 11:19 |
| Mamarok | alarm: well, if you use the desktop effects this is not much at all :) | 11:21 |
| alarm | i use just 2 widgets | 11:21 |
| Mamarok | alarm: no 3d effects? | 11:22 |
| alarm | i dont know i remember having on the old good debian 4 on idle or normal state something like 10-15% max. where here without any open application my system runs on 20-30% , both cores of the cpu | 11:22 |
| alarm | well just those that kde4 provides by default | 11:22 |
| Mamarok | the widgets are plasma, that doesn't show as an y activity but as a plasma PID | 11:22 |
| alarm | nothing extra | 11:22 |
| Mamarok | alarm: but you have 3d activated, haven't you? | 11:23 |
| alarm | mm let me check i am unsure.. :) | 11:23 |
| Mamarok | s/y/X | 11:23 |
| alarm | yeap "desktop effects" are enabled | 11:23 |
| Mamarok | alarm: well, that's what makes the difference I think | 11:24 |
| alarm | okie then :) | 11:24 |
| alarm | thank you | 11:24 |
| alarm | i will see how to reduce it a bit | 11:24 |
| alarm | i want to make my fan stop rotating like crazy all the time | 11:24 |
| Mamarok | alarm: remove all the effects you don't normaly use | 11:24 |
| alarm | alright, will do that | 11:25 |
| Mamarok | your fan rotates for 30% CPU activity? Mine only starts at around 70% | 11:25 |
| alarm | laptop... :> | 11:25 |
| Mamarok | well, the fan noise I mean :) | 11:25 |
| Mamarok | and I am on a laptop too | 11:25 |
| alarm | well its not rotating at full speed. but once it heats up a bit i can hear it a bit louder. i get a bit annoyed | 11:26 |
| alarm | one more short question whats the aplay zombie in my processes ? | 11:26 |
| Mamarok | my X uses approx. 13% CPU with minimal DE | 11:27 |
| Mamarok | alarm: alsa | 11:27 |
| alarm | okie :) now we know :) thank you a lot | 11:27 |

| kaddi | is 20090330 the date the package was built? | 15:41 |
| tsimpson | that would be the date the snapshot of svn was taken | 15:41 |

| Zorael | JuJuBee: I think there was a change in the icon name, from restart to reboot (or the other way around) | 16:03 |

| kaddi | jhutchins_wk: :) But if mozilla hasn't had the to update all of their sites it is also too early to expect an updated package in jaunty-reps I would think. :D | 16:17 |
| Zorael | JuJuBee: well, only one is broken, isn't it? | 16:17 |
| JuJuBee | nevermind, I just noticed that... | 16:18 |
| JuJuBee | Thanks. Maybe i need to restart? | 16:18 |
| JuJuBee | are the icons cached? | 16:18 |
| Zorael | JuJuBee: Perhaps. Or try downloading https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/experimental/+files/kde-icons-oxygen_4.2.85-0ubuntu2~jaunty1~ppa2_all.deb and installing manually, might work | 16:18 |
| Zorael | JuJuBee: yeah, think so | 16:18 |
| Zorael | JuJuBee: anyway, off for a bit, hope it works | 16:19 |
| JuJuBee | Thanks | 16:19 |

| jhutchins_wk | kaddi: Ok, looks like it's still officially a release candidate, not an official release. | 16:25 |
| yoga | jhutchins_wk: are you talking about Firefox 3.5? | 16:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | yoga: Yes. | 16:29 |
| yoga | jhutchins_wk: the one in januty/universe? | 16:29 |
| jhutchins_wk | Actually, the one on the mozilla web page. | 16:29 |
| yoga | jhutchins_wk: Did you install the release candidate? | 16:32 |
| JuJuBee | Zorael: FYI, that download seemed to do the trick, thanks again. | 16:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | yoga: No, I was just trying to figure out what the status is. | 16:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | A release candidate is unlikely to be packaged by the various distros until it's made an official release. | 16:34 |
| Dragnslcr | The site makes it look like it's a final release | 16:35 |
| === sean is now known as Guest18946 | ||
| yoga | jhutchins_wk: How do you know it's a RC? | 16:36 |
| jhutchins_wk | yoga: That's what it says on the mozilla.com web page. | 16:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | ...or at least that's what it said 20 minutes ago. | 16:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | "June 30, 2009 – Mozilla, a public-benefit organization dedicated to promoting choice and innovation on the Internet, today released Firefox® 3.5" | 16:40 |
| kaddi | jhutchins_wk: It's confusing I see a lot about the RC from two days ago, but I also find some blog entries saying that today the final has been released... no official announcement to be found though :/ | 16:41 |
| kaddi | (blogs on mozilla.org that is ;) ) | 16:41 |
| Dragnslcr | Looks like the final release was within the last hour or two | 16:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | kaddi: It just updated within the last hour. | 16:41 |
| kaddi | jhutchins_wk: lol... they did that just to confuse me, I'm sure :p | 16:42 |
| jhutchins_wk | When I first checked this morning, the main link was 3.0.11, then they had the RC page, now the official release. | 16:42 |
| jhutchins_wk | THat's like within the last 45 minutes. | 16:43 |
| yoga | Firefox 3.5 is released | 16:43 |
| kaddi | jhutchins_wk: Iyeah, I just realised it's the 30. today ;) I thought we were the 1. July today.... which made me believe FF 3.5 had been released yesterday | 16:44 |
| jhutchins_wk | Guess it depends on your planetary coordinates. | 16:45 |
| yoga | The download file is firefox-3.5.tar.bz2. | 16:45 |
| === wsr3193 is now known as raghorn | ||
| yoga | Are we going to do sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 in a couple of days? | 16:48 |
| kaddi | lol, yeah that's what started the whole discussion. There already is a firefox-3.5 package in the ubuntu reps, however it seems to be of on of the older release candidates... I would hope that it will get updated soon now. :) | 16:49 |

| thefox | I'm pretty new to kubunu | 18:04 |
| thefox | migrating to it from windows | 18:04 |
| thefox | and I have some basic questions | 18:04 |
| Joe____ | yes? | 18:05 |
| thefox | cayn you tell me how will I choose my default internet connection settings ? | 18:05 |
| thefox | *can | 18:05 |
| Joe____ | which version of kde do you have? 4.2? | 18:05 |
| thefox | yes | 18:05 |
| Joe____ | okay. there's a new plasmoid called "network management" | 18:06 |
| thefox | I see | 18:06 |
| thefox | I've setup new wired connection | 18:06 |
| Joe____ | good | 18:06 |
| thefox | with my settings | 18:06 |
| Joe____ | does ist work? | 18:06 |
| thefox | no, system is connecting automaticaly to eth0 with default settings | 18:07 |
| thefox | and I don't know how to switch betwin connections | 18:07 |
| Joe____ | one moment. gotta figure that out | 18:07 |
| thefox | Joe____ : aha, thanks | 18:08 |
| Joe____ | you want to connect via wlan, right? is your wlan device plugged in? | 18:08 |
| thefox | aha | 18:09 |
| thefox | it shows tha my cabel is plugged in | 18:09 |
| Joe____ | so you have a cable acces to internet? | 18:10 |
| thefox | yes | 18:10 |
| Joe____ | hm... actually a stupid question how else would you able to chatt here with me ^^ | 18:10 |
| Joe____ | to set the default connection click on the plasmoid and choose "manage connections" | 18:11 |
| thefox | Joe____: now I am under windows:) | 18:11 |
| demian | do you know when new firefox 3.5 will be in repository? | 18:11 |
| Pici | demian: When its done being tested and built. No eta at this time. Definitely not today. | 18:12 |
| demian | but in 9.04? | 18:13 |
| thefox | Joe____ : I had done it. I enabled Connect Automatically option, but there is no reaction | 18:13 |
| thefox | Joe____ : it is connecting to eth0 with auto detected settings | 18:14 |
| thefox | Joe____ : not my IP address, not my DNS settings, not my Gateway | 18:14 |
| Joe____ | is the ip adresse methode set to dhcp? | 18:14 |
| thefox | Joe____ : I don't know what is it :( | 18:16 |
| thefox | Joe____ : how set it ? | 18:16 |
| Joe____ | thefox: okay let's make it step by step | 18:17 |
| Joe____ | manage connections -> wired -> add | 18:17 |
| Joe____ | check "connect automatically" and that under "ip adress" the method is "dhcp" | 18:18 |
| thefox | Joe____ : ok | 18:19 |
| BluesKaj | Joe____, thefox , there is anew network manager that bypasses the widget-network-management app, it's called Wicd and it is very stable and flexible | 18:19 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : thanks, but how can I install it without internet ? | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | I use Wicd for both wifi/wlan0 and wired/eth0 on our linux pcs and laptop | 18:20 |
| BluesKaj | thefox, are dual booting windows and linux ? | 18:21 |
| PapaChub | Is the ''recommended'' way to install Firefox via the regular mozilla.com ".tar.gz" download, or is there an "add this repository..." option (yet?) | 18:21 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : yes, there is two os in my pc now | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | PapaChub, no need to add a repos afaik , just sudo aptitude install firefox | 18:22 |
| PapaChub | Firefox 3.5, I mean | 18:22 |
| Joe____ | ah | 18:22 |
| PapaChub | BluesKaj, I realized I should have mentioned that right away. :-} | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | thefox ,what ethernet card ? | 18:23 |
| Joe____ | PapaChub: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | 18:24 |
| Joe____ | but be warned | 18:24 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : Realtek | 18:24 |
| PapaChub | Joe____, Cheers! I don't mind living on the bleeding edge... | 18:25 |
| Joe____ | ^^ | 18:25 |
| thefox | BlueEagle : i think there is no problem with device | 18:25 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : i think there is no problem with device | 18:26 |
| Joe____ | it's quite strange. normally if your connected via wire you don't have to configure anything | 18:26 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : because I can see kubuntus reaction when I'm plugging/unplugging cabel | 18:26 |
| Joe____ | thefox: is there any error message | 18:27 |
| Joe____ | ? | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | realtek is quite generic , thefox , lspci ..look for an ethernet controller device | 18:27 |
| thefox | Joe____ : no, no errors | 18:28 |

| BluesKaj | hmm thefox seems like the same one I have ...it should connect you | 18:30 |
| thefox | BluesKaj: as i see it's not device problem | 18:30 |
| thefox | but i cant provide my settings | 18:30 |
| BluesKaj | router or modem , thefox | 18:31 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : you know, I'm connectiong to my provider via lan connection | 18:32 |
| BluesKaj | yes, thru a router or a modem ? | 18:32 |
| thefox | router | 18:32 |
| thefox | router is d-link, if thats matter | 18:33 |
| thefox | you know, I have connected to internet under windows and ubuntu | 18:34 |
| thefox | and do the same steps now in kubuntu | 18:34 |
| thefox | but it is not connecting with my filled settings | 18:34 |
| thefox | in connection manager | 18:34 |
| thefox | it show that connection i've set up is not used | 18:35 |
| Luigi246 | xdcc send #36 | 18:35 |
| BluesKaj | why would you not use the default connection settings that kubuntu provides ? | 18:36 |
| thefox | to connect with my provider i need fill settings as he (provider) gives me | 18:36 |
| BluesKaj | most providers assume you are going to run windows , hence those settings won't be the same as Linux | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | hostmasks etc will be the same as will IP addresses etc | 18:40 |
| thefox | BluesKaj : but i'ce connected with internet with this settings with ubuntu | 18:41 |
| slow-motion | hi | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | thefox, but why you are worried about using the providers settings is beyond me, just go with the default settings that HAL provides for you ethernet connection on linux | 18:42 |
| vbgunz | can someone enlighten me? why when I go to tty 1 - 6 I keep seeing "cannot examine encrypted directory" after I log in? I dont remember ever trying to add encryption manually and I could almost swear when asked in the installer, I said no... whats happening? | 18:45 |

| BluesKaj | thefox, you can always download wicd from http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php , then copy it from the ntfs volume while in kubuntu , then install it | 18:52 |
| BluesKaj | thefox, actually that's what i did when the widget network manager wouldn't work on our wifi network | 18:54 |

| newb09 | hello, is there someone who can help me install ubuntu on my toshiba laptop that has vista installed from the manufacturer? please? | 19:08 |
| BluesKaj | newb09, do want to keep vista ? | 19:08 |
| newb09 | for now yes, until i know for sure ubuntu will work for me | 19:08 |
| * newb09 knows windows but really wants to get rid of the huge OS eventually | 19:09 | |
| BluesKaj | then the easiest wat is to use wubi to install kubuntu within windows , the you can choose which OS at bootup from the menu | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | wat=way | 19:10 |
| newb09 | well i have tried to do that | 19:10 |
| newb09 | and it sends me to a screen with a grub prompt | 19:10 |
| newb09 | and with my attempts to use commands, i get error message 8 - that it needs a kernel installed | 19:10 |
| newb09 | i have no idea what that means, actually, or where to find the kernel *to* install | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | start over , go back into windows uninstall kubuntu reboot and try again to install | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | uninstall wubi actually | 19:12 |
| newb09 | alright, i have done that as well....i don't think ubuntu is fully uninstalled because.........ah, now where do i find wubi to uninstall? | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | in the controlpanel add-remove or uninstall programs | 19:13 |
| newb09 | i still get the option when i boot, whether or not to boot to windows or to ubuntu, so i don't think it's fully uninstalled, but i can't find anything else to install....would a reinstall of windows help? | 19:13 |
| newb09 | i did that, but only found ubuntu | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | no wubi ? | 19:13 |
| newb09 | no, no wubi | 19:14 |
| newb09 | hold on, let me recheck, but i know it's not there | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | look for wubi in start/all programs | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | it has an uninstaller , I think | 19:15 |
| newb09 | it's not there, let me search for it | 19:15 |
| newb09 | no items matched the search | 19:15 |
| newb09 | it's not on my computer | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | ok look for kubuntu or ubuntu whichever | 19:15 |
| newb09 | no items match that search either | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | look for the downloaded app and remove that | 19:17 |
| newb09 | i actually thought about doing a clean install of windows....i have everything backed up so i can reinstall it easily....would that help? | 19:17 |
| newb09 | and | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 19:17 |
| newb09 | could the problem be because i have an external drive and i forgot about it when i installed ubuntu the first time? | 19:18 |

| BluesKaj | Pici, read an unfavourable review of FF3.5 i Techrepublic ... it's too immature | 19:20 |
| bartc_ | regarding wubi, please check c:\boot.ini for a line starting with c:\wubildr.mbr. I uninstalled ubuntu on my laptop recently (to switch to kubuntu), and noticed also the ubuntu boot option after uninstalling ubuntu. | 19:21 |
| Dragnslcr | newb09- did you look in the Add/Remove Programs control panel for wubi? I think that's where you uninstall it from | 19:21 |
| newb09 | i did, Dragnslcr | 19:21 |
| newb09 | i found ubuntu | 19:21 |
| newb09 | but no wubi | 19:21 |
| bartc_ | after installing Kubuntu, the line was changed to mention Kubuntu after installing Kubuntu. | 19:22 |
| * newb09 has fought with this for a few days | 19:22 | |
| Dragnslcr | newb09- the Ubuntu entry is probably it | 19:22 |

| bartc_ | If you uninstalled Ubuntu,it should be safe to remove this line I think to get rid of the boot option. | 19:23 |
| BluesKaj | newb09, I think you'll find that if you do a clean install of Kubuntu first you won't want to go back to Vista | 19:23 |
| newb09 | well, the problem is how do i DO a clean install of kubuntu? and is kubuntu different from ubuntu? | 19:24 |
| BluesKaj | !desktop | 19:24 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 19:24 |

| === liberfiasco is now known as libervisco | ||
| BluesKaj | ok newb09 ,if you a prefer a windows-like environment then Kubuntu is the way to go | 19:26 |
| newb09 | i don't mind the environment....but when i go to message boards and try to find out what to do, they're all speaking "linux-ese"' and i am totally lost | 19:26 |
| newb09 | i don't mind learning a new way to work :) | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | gnome is a little drastic compared to MS windows | 19:27 |
| newb09 | a friend has been looking at ubuntu for a long time, and he finally downloaded it and LOVES it....that's how i got interested in it | 19:27 |
| newb09 | but all he did was download the OS, copy it to a disk, and reboot with the disk in the drive, of course it worked perfectly! | 19:28 |
| BluesKaj | newb09, it's not a prob , we were all new to this once :) ...kubuntu -kde is more familiar looking for former windowa users | 19:28 |
| newb09 | so maybe i should download kubuntu instead? | 19:28 |
| Dragnslcr | newb09- yeah, the LiveCD ability is pretty nice | 19:28 |
| ahmed | hi | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | that's my recommendation , newb09 | 19:29 |
| newb09 | alright, another question... | 19:29 |
| newb09 | is downloading and burning the cd the same as what i would get if i had it mailed to me? | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | dunno , never installed kubuntu from a mailer ..always burned and installed | 19:31 |
| newb09 | have you ever done it within windows? | 19:31 |
| BluesKaj | yes, mylaptop | 19:31 |
| BluesKaj | used wubi | 19:32 |
| newb09 | and should the fact that i have windows that was installed from the manufacturer make a difference? i read something about partitions and such (greek to me) that made me wonder | 19:32 |
| Machtin | i accidentaly removed the folder view in which you can enter subfolders.. i tried to add another one.. but if i click a folder there it opens dolphin, instead of opening the folder in the folder view... how can i get that one back? | 19:33 |
| moreno | al guien me dice la pagina de ubuntu en español | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | newb09, some ppl, myself includedlike to keep a windows version on their pcs , which can live alongside linux by both having their own partition , yes | 19:34 |
| BluesKaj | !es | moreno | 19:35 |
| ubottu | moreno: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 19:35 |
| moreno | ok | 19:35 |
| newb09 | well, could a partition be a problem then? and if so, how do i know it is, and how would i solve it? | 19:35 |
| * newb09 doesn't ask hard questions :) | 19:35 | |
| BluesKaj | Machtin, open widgets , folder view is available there | 19:36 |
| nikitis | Is there an app to monitor how much bandwidth a PID is using? | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | newb09, I suggest you ask your friend to help ypu with partitioning , it's a bit difficult to do from here :) | 19:39 |
| newb09 | lol, he has no clue, his worked perfectly....it's alright, i am just really frustrated with this.....would kubuntu have the same problem if it is a partitioning problem? | 19:39 |
| newb09 | alright, i am going to download kubuntu, then i'll have both CDs, and use whichever one i can get to work first! | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | newb09, the easiest way IMO is to wipe the hard drive/reformat it to ext3 using a live cd called GParted , the install kubuntu. As yousay if things don't work out , you can always reinstall windows | 19:42 |
| newb09 | oh | 19:43 |
| newb09 | GParted.....i can download that? | 19:43 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 19:43 |
| newb09 | thank you BluesKaj | 19:43 |

| tonii_ | server list, most likely? depends on client though I suppose | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | nikitis, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bwmon/ | 19:49 |
| skizoo | ah ok...thanks to g.o.g.le i found my list xD | 19:51 |
| markrodriguez | i am running dual OS kubuntu and xp | 19:58 |
| markrodriguez | i'm trying it figure out how to get the music i had in xp into my amarok.. any answers? | 19:59 |
| AndorinKato | Hi, guys, quick question that will actually be answerable this time. My friend downloaded a driver for her wireless card and needs to compile it, but doesn't know how. The files are here: http://pastebin.com/d4edbb9f2 Can someone give me the correct commands to pass onto her? | 20:03 |
| instructor_ | does she havea compiler ? | 20:05 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: plus I'm guessing that readme26.txt would be interesting | 20:06 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She has GCC | 20:06 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: where did she get thse from? | 20:08 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: The readme doesn't contain any instructions. | 20:08 |
| instructor_ | I'm assuming this is madwifi or ndiswrapper ? | 20:09 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: What is the name of the file | 20:09 |
| AndorinKato | Neither, it's the driver for a wireless card she's installed, some Realtek piece | 20:09 |
| AndorinKato | She's getting the link now | 20:10 |
| AndorinKato | http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8180L | 20:10 |
| vadrao | The commands are usually like this : ./compile <with compile options> | 20:11 |
| vadrao | then "make" and "make install" | 20:11 |
| vadrao | Do them with a sudo command | 20:11 |
| AndorinKato | Alright, and what about these options? What might she need to do? | 20:12 |
| instructor_ | There is no configure script there | 20:13 |
| KrispyKreme | I have a canon pixma 470. Where/what are the correct drivers I need? | 20:13 |
| markrodriguez | just installed Kubuntu 9.04 on top of Windows XP, and you'd like to figure out how to access documents from your windows partition | 20:13 |
| markrodriguez | 03:13:09 pm | 20:13 |
| markrodriguez | mrug13 | 20:13 |
| markrodriguez | yerah, no one told me how i could get my media | 20:13 |
| FloodBotK2 | markrodriguez: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:13 |
| markrodriguez | ooops sorry.. i just installed it and owuld like ot know how to get documents in my windows partition.. thanks. | 20:14 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: First she needs to install the compilers (gcc stuff). To do that run this command in the terminal "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 20:14 |
| AndorinKato | vadrao: She can't, she doesn't have a connection to the Internet until she gets her wireless working. | 20:15 |
| AndorinKato | Besides, I already said she has gcc. | 20:15 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: try make then sudo make install | 20:15 |
| vadrao | Then go to the directory in which she has unzipped the files in the terminal and then run this command "sudo make install" | 20:16 |
| KrispyKreme | how do i install firefox 3.5 on kubuntu? | 20:18 |
| vadrao | Firefox 3.5 has not been released in the repos for kbuntu I think.. The firefox 3.5 in the repos trys to install gnome crap along | 20:20 |
| vadrao | If you want to try Firefox 3.5 then just download it and unzip it and run the "firefox" file in it. | 20:20 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: wait for backports upgrade to Koala or visit http://getfirefox.com | 20:20 |
| sven | can someone tell me how to format my micro sd card in kubuntu? Its in a SD adapter, and the SD adaper is plugged in my card reader... When I plug a CF card in the card reader, Gparted detects the disk, when I plug in the micro sd card (in the adapter), gparted doens't detect a thing... | 20:21 |

| markrodriguez | if i install kubuntu on top of an xp install how does it partition the drive by default? | 20:27 |
| instructor_ | markrodriguez: uses the free space on teh XP drive unless you have another drive in the computer I think | 20:28 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Crap | 20:28 |
| instructor_ | She needs the linux headers | 20:28 |
| === pablo_ is now known as pabloooo | ||
| markrodriguez | instructor_:thanks. | 20:29 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Ok, so what are Linux headers? | 20:29 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: The source code for the linux kernel she's using | 20:29 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:does it resize the old windows partition and create a new ext3 one? | 20:29 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Er... what does she need that for? | 20:29 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: The drivers need to know what options and calls they are going to make | 20:30 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 20:31 |
| instructor_ | markrodriguez: Yes | 20:31 |
| AndorinKato | Oh, LOVELY! This is exactly what the last four days have been like. Simple issue, no problem, we fix it but nope, there's an error, ok, let's fix the error- no, our error fix gets an error! This one is more complicated! Fine, let's fix it... nope, another error! | 20:31 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She does /not/ have an Internet connection. | 20:31 |
| marco | come faccio ad installa xorg versione RC7.4 per ATI HD 2400 | 20:32 |
| marco | hi ppl | 20:32 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Ah that's always a problem with getting the network working | 20:32 |
| instructor_ | I remember doing the same thing with Windows 98 | 20:32 |
| instructor_ | go to a friends house to get something doesnt work go back getsomething else | 20:32 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:thanks | 20:32 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She doesn't have anywhere she can go, and there aren't any wired connections in the house that she can use. | 20:33 |

| instructor_ | !it | marco | 20:33 |
| ubottu | marco: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) | 20:33 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:is there a command i can run to output a list of all my partitions and their filesystem whether they're mounted or not | 20:33 |
| instructor_ | sudo fdisk -l ; mount | 20:33 |
| marco | it's ok, let's talk in english | 20:33 |
| AndorinKato | Right now she's on Feisty Kubuntu because for some reason her computer will NOT let her run a Jaunty CD. She's tried it with TWO separate CDs and it won't do it. | 20:33 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Ah feisty hmm | 20:34 |
| marco | I have installed kubuntu jaunty | 20:34 |
| Pici | AndorinKato: Feisty is no longer supported and the repositories are no longer online. | 20:34 |
| AndorinKato | Well, it doesn't matter much anyway since she /can't connect/. | 20:34 |
| marco | I have already installed, but got some some problem with audio loading flgrx driver | 20:34 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: where is this? | 20:35 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Where? What? | 20:35 |
| instructor_ | Where is she? at home? | 20:35 |
| ugur | hi people. Does anyone use Kvpnc 0.9.1 with KDE 4? | 20:35 |
| AndorinKato | Yes. She's upstairs with her computer, which can't connect except via wireless. The downstairs PC, which also connects with wireless, DOES work, so she has some access to the Internet. | 20:36 |
| AndorinKato | We have been working for over three days trying to get her wireless to work, trying a crapton of things, and we are getting /reeeeally/ fed up with everything. | 20:38 |
| AndorinKato | Last night she switches out her wireless card, after we discover that three separate operating systems will not detect it no matter what we do. The new card shows up but she needs drivers for it to run in Kubuntu. | 20:38 |
| KDesk | I would also know how to install firefox 3.5 (but 64 bit) for Jaunty? | 20:38 |
| jimmy51_ | KDesk: sudo apt-get install firefox | 20:39 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:thanks | 20:39 |
| vadrao | Firefox 3.5 is not yet updated in the repos | 20:39 |
| KDesk | jimmy51_: but that installs firefox 3.0 | 20:39 |
| jimmy51_ | KDesk: ah | 20:40 |
| vadrao | KDesk: You have to wait for the repos to get updated or get it from firefox.com | 20:40 |
| KDesk | I can not find 64 bit version in the mozilla ftp. | 20:40 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: and she has feisty ? | 20:40 |
| jimmy51_ | KDesk: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html | 20:40 |
| AndorinKato | So either: Someone please tell me a comparatively painless way to get her drivers to work, OR someone tell me why her computer would be refusing to load Kubuntu Jaunty on live CDs. | 20:40 |
| jimmy51_ | KDesk: if there's no 64 bit version in those repositories, you'll probably have to compile it | 20:40 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: that was my next question what happens with the Jaunty Live CDs ? | 20:41 |
| KDesk | jimmy51_: thanks for the link! | 20:41 |
| shanipribadi | AndorinKato: i found this about rtl8180l and feisty http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481422 | 20:41 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: The error is that she goes to boot them from the CD and at a certain point before the desktop appears, the screen goes black. | 20:42 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She says "I get through the loading screen and to one that says Starting KDE Display Manager (KDM) and a couple of things and then black." | 20:42 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Did she try the safe graphics mode? | 20:43 |
| KDesk | since FF 3.5. this is insane http://downloadstats.mozilla.com/ | 20:44 |
| AndorinKato | Asking... | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | AndorinKato, may i ask how old is the pc and what cpu ? | 20:44 |
| Tacosarecool | hello | 20:44 |
| AndorinKato | Hi, BluesKaj, it's a Dell Dimension 4600 and it's only a few years old. | 20:44 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She hasn't yet, because she says she's had past experience with that not working, but she will try it soon | 20:45 |
| Tacosarecool | I have error 17 on neogrub | 20:45 |
| === mathay_ is now known as mathay | ||
| KrispyKreme | is there a way to update ALL the programs that needs updating in kubuntu 9.04? | 20:46 |
| Tacosarecool | yum krispy kreme | 20:47 |
| vadrao | KrispyKreme: sudo aptitude update and sudo aptitude upgrade | 20:47 |
| KrispyKreme | vadrao, thanks. willl give it a try | 20:47 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: from the command line sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade or from the GUI open kpackagekit and go to software updattes and click select all | 20:48 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:'ve temporarily mounted my ntfs partition by running "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/xpdrive". how can i make it mount automatically on boot? | 20:49 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: It may be trying to turn on some fancy effects that are not reacting as expected | 20:49 |
| instructor_ | !fstab | markrodriguez | 20:49 |
| ubottu | markrodriguez: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:49 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Graphical effects? | 20:49 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Since compiz started spinning a cube people want fancy effects on by default so the Live CDs turn them on to act as a test | 20:50 |
| instructor_ | Safe graphics should disable them | 20:50 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: I guess that makes sense, but the problem is that Jaunty worked fine before yesterday. | 20:50 |
| KrispyKreme | vadrao, instructor_: thanks, my system is fully updated | 20:50 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: eh? Hmm so... the Cd got scratched? | 20:51 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Two separate CDs, remember? | 20:51 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: I might suggest using the usb as the install medium and try | 20:51 |
| AndorinKato | vadrao: Is there a way to create a Kubuntu installer on a flash drive, then? | 20:52 |
| vadrao | usb installation will be faster aswell | 20:52 |
| vadrao | Yes | 20:52 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: Yes | 20:52 |
| gonzalo | hola | 20:52 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 20:52 |
| KrispyKreme | is there a way to "slipstream" a kubuntu disk will all the current updates like in windows xp? | 20:52 |
| AndorinKato | vadrao: Thanks, I passed that on to her and if safe graphics mode doesn't fix it she might go for that. | 20:53 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: Download that software onto your Windows or linux machine and then give it the .iso file which you have dowloaded.. Then it will populate the usb.. Then insert it and restart the machine,, Remember to change the bios settings accordingly | 20:54 |
| donnat | I'm getting uber slow OpenGL in games (less than 1 frame every 10 seconds). But SDL games, Compiz, and glxgears (750FPS) are fine. <http://pastebin.com/m3e0e8fc9> | 20:54 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- dunno about slipstreaming, but you can easily download updated packages and burn them to a CD | 20:54 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: Also saves valuble cd's :-) | 20:54 |
| AndorinKato | vadrao: Right, it looks pretty straightforward. She left to try safe graphics mode now. | 20:54 |
| Dragnslcr | !aptoncd | KrispyKreme | 20:54 |
| ubottu | KrispyKreme: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 20:55 |
| KrispyKreme | !offline | 20:55 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 20:55 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: yes | 20:56 |
| KrispyKreme | is there some kind of defense mechanism I could get for kubuntu, such as an alarm when the AC is unplugged from the laptop or when the touchpad/mouse is moved? | 20:57 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: if it still dies in safe graphics mode press alt+ctrl+F1 and type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 20:57 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Ok | 20:57 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Safe graphics mode does not fix it, she gets the same issue, | 20:59 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: try the thing I said | 20:59 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She said she can't even bring up a terminal. | 21:00 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: at the blank screen just press CTRL+ALT+F1 | 21:00 |
| AndorinKato | vadrao: She did, and it doesn't /do/ anything. | 21:01 |
| vadrao | AndorinKato: No message or text what so ever ? Just plain vanila black | 21:01 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Does caps lock work? | 21:02 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- I would expect there's a program or system setting to bring up a notification for switching from line to battery power. I dunno if there would be anything for when the mouse is moved | 21:03 |
| AndorinKato | vadrao: Indeed. | 21:03 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She's checking. | 21:03 |
| suke | hi | 21:03 |
| instructor_ | !hi | suke | 21:04 |
| ubottu | suke: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 21:04 |
| suke | im really REALLY new to ubuntu, and im also not good at computers | 21:04 |
| suke | i cant install anything on ubuntu for some reason | 21:04 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: If the Splashscreen came up she should be able to alt+ctrl+F1 at least at that point | 21:04 |
| instructor_ | suke: What have you tried? | 21:04 |
| suke | No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file. | 21:05 |
| suke | that comes up | 21:05 |
| Dragnslcr | What kind of file is it? | 21:05 |
| vadrao | suke: What were you trying to install ? | 21:05 |
| suke | btw could u not use any technical jargon terms, i dont know anything about computers or its terminology | 21:05 |
| suke | its a bionicle game >.>.... | 21:05 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: If that is the case, where does that even get her? | 21:06 |
| jhutchins_wk | suke: So learn. We'll help. We'll try to be gentle. What kind of file is it? | 21:06 |
| Dragnslcr | Never even heard of that | 21:06 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: No, caps lock does not work. | 21:06 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: ha. | 21:06 |
| vadrao | suke: How did you donwload that file.. from where ? | 21:06 |
| instructor_ | oh crap. Which splash screen? the first one? | 21:06 |
| KrispyKreme | I have this shiretoko web browser I want to remove. How do I do it? | 21:06 |
| instructor_ | right after the first menu ? | 21:06 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:thanks | 21:07 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: She says yes, the loading one. | 21:07 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- if you installed it through the package manager, you can uninstall it through the package manager | 21:07 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Ahh ah right no alt+ctrl wouldn't work at that point. | 21:07 |
| suke_ | >< | 21:07 |
| AndorinKato | Mmhmm. | 21:08 |
| instructor_ | suke_: open kpackagekit and install wine | 21:08 |
| KrispyKreme | Dragnslcr, I installed it through the terminal | 21:08 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- using apt? | 21:08 |
| AndorinKato | So do you think she should try for making a USB installation? | 21:08 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Thought you were talking about a different splash screen. Did this happen after she put in the new card? | 21:08 |
| KrispyKreme | Dragnslcr, it gives me this message: : Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 21:08 |
| KrispyKreme | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 21:08 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: close kpackagekit | 21:08 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- make sure no other programs are using apt | 21:08 |
| jhutchins_wk | suke: What's the full filename of the package you tried to install? | 21:08 |
| suke_ | whats kpackagekit | 21:08 |
| Dragnslcr | suke_- the package manager for Kubuntu | 21:09 |
| suke_ | bionicle | 21:09 |
| instructor_ | suke_: press alt+f2 and then type kpackage | 21:09 |
| instructor_ | jhutchins_wk: bionicle.exe I'm guessing | 21:09 |
| suke_ | Could not open location 'file:///kpackagekit' The location or file could not be found. | 21:10 |
| suke_ | ? | 21:10 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Well, she says that the Jaunty CDs haven't worked since she put the new card in. However, at roughly the same time she also installed Windows 7 on a partition, so it could be either of those though I don't know why Windows would be messing with Kubuntu. | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | AndorinKato, Dell Dimension 4600 is prolly 5 yrs old with 512RAM , if so,that's barely meeting jaunty or even intrepid requirements for memory, hence the prob with trying to run those OS live cds | 21:11 |
| suke_ | i clicked "show list of known applications" and there was nothing there | 21:11 |
| AndorinKato | BluesKaj: But it ran them just fine before yesterday, and I think she has more than 512 MB RAM. | 21:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 21:12 |
| suke_ | i clicked "show list of known applications" and there was nothing there | 21:12 |
| suke_ | Could not open location 'file:///kpackagekit' The location or file could not be found. | 21:12 |
| AndorinKato | BluesKaj: Yeah, she has 1 GB. | 21:12 |
| jhutchins_wk | BluesKaj: Wow, I build systems on 512k every day using CentOS 4.7. | 21:13 |
| KrispyKreme | instructor_, I got it removed now. thanks | 21:13 |
| suke_ | is kubuntu diffrent from ubuntu? | 21:14 |
| suke_ | ... | 21:14 |
| shanipribadi_ | suke: quite a bit | 21:14 |
| suke_ | i think im in the wrong irc | 21:14 |
| suke_ | =_= | 21:14 |
| shanipribadi_ | suke: are you using kubuntu? | 21:14 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: highly unlikely it's windows 7. Does windows 7 see the card ? | 21:15 |
| KrispyKreme | AndorinKato, you could try the remix edition. it's designed for netbooks so it requires less ram | 21:15 |
| instructor_ | are you using kubuntu or ubuntu ? | 21:15 |
| kaddi | is there a good tutorial how wireless works on kubuntu? And what the network clients really do, when I start them? | 21:16 |
| kaddi | Because right now, I'm quite confused... I had lost my internet connection and killing wicd (the daemon, not the gui), brought my internet back to life. o.0 | 21:16 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: It sees it and automatically installed a driver, but she's paranoid about going online with an unpatched Windows 7 beta version. | 21:16 |
| Blues-Man | hello | 21:16 |
| Blues-Man | i have several problems with jaunty jackalope on my kubuntu | 21:17 |
| shanipribadi_ | kaddi: why are you using wicd? since my kubuntu started with network applet | 21:17 |
| Blues-Man | about video and wifi | 21:17 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: :-) You mean it might disable itself? | 21:17 |
| Blues-Man | i'm lost in launchpad threads..the problems comes on an update in April | 21:17 |
| kaddi | shanipribadi_ because network applet is unable to connect to wpa2 encoded networks in jaunty | 21:17 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Yeah. Plus she wants to move to using Linux full-time. | 21:18 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: baptized in fire it seems | 21:18 |
| AndorinKato | Which I personally think is a great choice except when things DO NOT WORK. :( | 21:18 |
| kaddi | AndorinKato: did you figure out your wireless problems? was the card faulty? (I'm just being curious :) ) | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | the w7 firewall is quite good, linux driver sites are quite safe IMO , I've had to just that in the past to DL linux drivers in Windows to repair/restore linux hardware drivers | 21:19 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: depends on who you are. I like when things don't work as getting them working makes you learn so much | 21:19 |
| AndorinKato | kaddi: Kubuntu Jaunty wouldn't recognize the card, Feisty wouldn't recognize the card and Windows 7 wouldn't recognize the card. I think we've determined that it's the card. | 21:19 |
| instructor_ | BluesKaj: I think the fear is that the beta will update itself and then die | 21:19 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Sure, except when you have to spend days on what should be a comparatively simple issue. | 21:20 |
| KrispyKreme | BluesKaj, do you really need a firewall in kubuntu? | 21:20 |
| BluesKaj | she can turn the updates off in W7 control panel | 21:20 |
| mot | anybody know what directory plugins should be copied to for firefox 3.5? | 21:20 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: yeah agreed. So I'm going on the assumption that the card is somehow causing the issue. when she bootsh the live CD can she press F6 at the menu and remove the words quiet and splash ? | 21:20 |
| BluesKaj | KrispyKreme, i was using windows at the time | 21:20 |
| mot | i tried /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and neither works | 21:20 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: no but a firewall is a godo idea | 21:21 |
| mot | also tried to look in ~/.mozilla/ and there was no plugins folder... | 21:21 |
| AndorinKato | BluesKaj: I think her version isn't going to die out anytime soon, it's supposed to last for quite a while | 21:21 |
| BluesKaj | !firewall | KrispyKreme | 21:21 |
| ubottu | KrispyKreme: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 21:21 |
| BluesKaj | !virus | KrispyKreme | 21:22 |
| ubottu | KrispyKreme: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 21:22 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: that should show what happened before it freaks out if it's a aCPI issue we can bypass that | 21:24 |
| shanipribadi_ | kaddi: are you using jaunty? currently im using a wpa2 network with network applet, kde4.2.4 from kubuntu ppa updates. Since it is the default, i prefer it over wicd. | 21:24 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Ok, passing on | 21:24 |
| KrispyKreme | so ubuntu/kubuntu may not be vulnerable to viruses, but what about phishing/hacking? | 21:24 |
| instructor_ | Whoops class is back in session :) | 21:24 |
| BluesKaj | AndorinKato, being cautious is a good thing , W7 is still pretty safe ...I would go ahead and DL the needed drivers in W7 .. Idid the same thing , didn't get infected | 21:25 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: it's vunerable to viruses phishing and hacking | 21:25 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: I think for the moment the plan is to get her online in Windows, so perhaps I can get her in here | 21:25 |
| AndorinKato | BluesKaj: She did download the drivers but she can't compile them | 21:25 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: Ah umm ok | 21:25 |
| instructor_ | and from feisty she won'tbe able to | 21:25 |
| shanipribadi_ | !wireless | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:26 |
| KrispyKreme | instructor_, what firewall/antivirus do you suggest I get? | 21:27 |
| instructor_ | KrispyKreme: you have a fw already and you shouldn't need Av | 21:27 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- every operating system is vulnerable to stupid users | 21:27 |
| kaddi | shanipribadi_ When I first upgraded to jaunty there was no way to connect to WPA2.. It connected to unsecure networks just fine, but simply didn't do anything if secured networks were concerned. I switched to wicd back then, which immediately recognized and connected to the network. So far wicd has also been much more stable than knetworkmanager ever was (and I've been using it since Dapper), so I will stay with it. ;) My interest is | 21:27 |
| kaddi | rather independent from the client in itself.. I would actually like to now what happens behind the scenes, where you tell ubuntu to connect to wifi, where the key is stored and this kind of stuff | 21:27 |
| mot | nobody knows where the plugins folder is for ff3.5? | 21:27 |
| instructor_ | see the link given as to why | 21:27 |
| BluesKaj | !firefox3.5 | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox3.5 | 21:28 |
| Dragnslcr | KrispyKreme- you shouldn't need a running firewall, since the only ports that are listening for connections are ones for normal programs that you run | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | !info firefox3.5 | 21:29 |
| ubottu | Package firefox3.5 does not exist in jaunty | 21:29 |
| Dragnslcr | !info firefox-3.5 | 21:29 |
| ubottu | firefox-3.5 (source: firefox-3.5): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5~b4~hg20090330r24021+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 889 kB, installed size 3468 kB | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | someone posted a repos for ff3.5 a few hrs ago ,but i don't see it now | 21:29 |
| KrispyKreme | Dragnslcr, I learned that the hard way on Windows. haha | 21:29 |
| KrispyKreme | BluesKaj, this one? http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html | 21:30 |
| shanipribadi_ | kaddi: i see, well, before i upgraded to jaunty i had been reading about wireless stuffs and had dled wicd, (cos i had read somewhere that jaunty had some problems with secured wifi, but apparently i was lucky). You could try the ubuntu wiki, and google for wireless documentation, or wicd documentation | 21:30 |
| BluesKaj | KrispyKreme, I've been on kubuntu for 5 yrs , no virus yet | 21:30 |
| kaddi | shanipribadi_ the wifidocs actually have a rather technical introduction, that I'm lucking at right now... should help me along the way, thanks :) | 21:31 |
| kaddi | *looking | 21:31 |
| KrispyKreme | BluesKaj, I've been on kubuntu for a month now. Not looking back to Windows | 21:31 |
| BluesKaj | I'll wait for a while for FF3.5 to become more mature , I've read some disappointing reviews | 21:32 |
| shanipribadi_ | there's firefox-3.5 on the official repos | 21:32 |
| KrispyKreme | shanipribadi, really? | 21:33 |
| shanipribadi_ | KrispyKreme: on universe | 21:33 |
| kaddi | shanipribadi_ yes but the firefox-3.5 is built from a RC, it is not the final release | 21:33 |
| BluesKaj | KrispyKreme, I still keep a windows partition handy since my family and friends rely on me for windows advice , not that I'm any windows guru or anything | 21:34 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_: i installed the nvidia 180 driver and for some reason my resolution is squished.. part of the monitor is black and i can't run the mouse over it and the other side i could keep going and the mouse disapears.. whatdo i do/ | 21:34 |
| mot | i'm not seeing an amd64 release on mozilla.com | 21:34 |
| shanipribadi_ | kaddi: there's already a final release?? i didn't know that, for how long? well, try gg:site:launchpad.net ppa firefox-3.5 | 21:34 |
| mot | only i686 | 21:34 |
| Dragnslcr | shanipribadi_- final release of 3.5 was today. Hopefully we'll get packages in a few days | 21:35 |
| kaddi | shanipribadi_ I think there has been a final release for about 6 hours or so. :p | 21:35 |
| AndySpain | hi | 21:35 |
| AndySpain | can anybody please help me set up my wifi on my hp pavillion laptop? | 21:35 |
| KrispyKreme | how do i know which "package" i have,such as universe, etc? | 21:35 |
| instructor_ | hi AndySpain | 21:35 |
| AndySpain | hi instructor_! | 21:35 |
| BluesKaj | markrodriguez, which nvidia card and which monitor ? | 21:36 |
| AndySpain | everything but the wifi works fine here | 21:36 |
| shanipribadi_ | KrispyKreme: from cli, you can read /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:37 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:tough one,venturer 27in and the card is a 256mb ddr 3.. is that enough? i could look itup in my windows book | 21:37 |
| instructor_ | !wifi | 21:37 |
| markrodriguez | boot* | 21:37 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:37 |
| BluesKaj | AndySpain, wired connect eth0 works ok ? | 21:37 |
| shanipribadi_ | KrispyKreme: if you want to use GUI, you can open Package manager and find the option to edit sources | 21:37 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj yes, eth0 works and is the onyl device shown in the network maanger | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | markrodriguez, in the terminal: lspci | grep -i vga | 21:38 |
| shanipribadi_ | i found a ppa on launchpad with "firefox-3.5 - 3.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta1~jaunty". what does nobinonly means? | 21:39 |
| KrispyKreme | shanipribadi, sweet, it looks like i have universe enabled | 21:39 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Just so you know, we're still planning to fix it, just need a break from all this madness ;-; | 21:39 |
| BluesKaj | AndySpain, you are using the widget-network-manager then , right ? | 21:39 |
| markrodriguez | 8600 gt | 21:39 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:8600 gt | 21:39 |
| instructor_ | markrodriguez: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg && sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 21:39 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj, correct. I know no CLI commands | 21:39 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj, the green globe in panel | 21:39 |
| shanipribadi_ | KrispyKreme: but the universe only has firefox 3.5 beta, not official release | 21:40 |
| BluesKaj | AndySpain, which kubuntu version , intrepid ? | 21:40 |
| KrispyKreme | shanipribadi, how do I enable like multiverse/ etc? | 21:40 |
| KrispyKreme | and is it recommended? | 21:40 |
| KrispyKreme | wait, nevermind. | 21:41 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj, yes intrepid still | 21:41 |
| instructor_ | AndorinKato: ping me when you are ready | 21:41 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Thank you, will do. | 21:41 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj, right now I won't upgrade due to other factors. | 21:42 |
| markrodriguez | instructor_:my keyborad won't let me type my password in after i type that command in | 21:43 |
| KrispyKreme | does anyone use a program called "sweeper"? | 21:43 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, did you say you ran wicd on intrepid , did you uninstall knetworkmanager first or just disable it? | 21:43 |
| instructor_ | markrodriguez: it is | 21:43 |
| instructor_ | markrodriguez: type it normally. it's going in it's just not echoing anythign back | 21:43 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: no I ran wicd only on jaunty.. I've run knetworkmanager before, which is why I prefer wicd ;) | 21:44 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: but if you want to do some test, I still have gutsy on a laptop whih is basically only used for messing around | 21:44 |
| mot | if you install wicd it should automatically uninstall knetworkmanager and re-associate the service for wicd | 21:44 |
| BluesKaj | no kaddi , i;m asking on behalf of AndySpain , should he just install wicd , or will there be a conflict with knetworkmanager ? | 21:45 |
| shanipribadi_ | you cant have both wicd and knetworkmanager i think, cos they're in conflict, so installing one will remove the other | 21:46 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: I can only tell you for jaunty. Wicd automatically removed networkmanager on jaunty. I don't know for intrepid | 21:46 |
| BluesKaj | mot , yes i know that works for the widget-manager, but are you sure wicd will delete knetworkmanager ? | 21:47 |
| BluesKaj | AndySpain, in the terminal : sudo aptitude install wicd | 21:48 |
| kaddi | BluesKaj: it removed networkmanager and the frontends knetworkmanager, nm-applet to be precise | 21:48 |
| mot | yea | 21:49 |
| KrispyKreme | I have a canon pixma 470 printer, but it doesn't have that driver available. What can I do? | 21:50 |
| BluesKaj | kaddi, good | 21:50 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj: ok, sounds easy. Thank you very much. i'll try right now | 21:51 |
| BluesKaj | AndySpain, you still have to setup the wifi configuration , but that's quite straightforward | 21:52 |
| AndySpain | where? | 21:52 |
| AndySpain | after install i run it from terminal with "wicd"? | 21:52 |
| BluesKaj | once you download wicd , just look in the k-menu /internet , | 21:53 |
| === shanipribadi_ is now known as shanipribadi | ||
| AndySpain | BluesKaj: failure | 21:53 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj: aptitude installed 0 packages - I think it was already there then. | 21:54 |
| AndySpain | In kmenu, applications, internet there are only webbrowsers, amsn, Knetworkmanager but no wicd | 21:54 |
| wirechief_ | AndySpain check to see status of wicd using dpkg -l|grep wicd | 21:55 |
| BluesKaj | AndySpain, nope it should be in the repos multiverse/universe , unless wicd won't run on intrepid | 21:57 |
| Dragnslcr | !info wicd intrepid | 21:57 |
| ubottu | Package wicd does not exist in intrepid | 21:57 |

| BluesKaj | well srry but ihave to do some errands ..BBL | 22:01 |
| AndySpain | BluesKaj: Thank you. See you later | 22:01 |
| wirechief_ | AndySpain no result, no wicd | 22:01 |
| AndySpain | wirechef_ no text at all, a new prompt | 22:01 |

| instructor_ | AndorinKato: tried the removal of quiet and splash ? | 22:12 |
| AndorinKato | instructor_: Not yet, I'll let you know when. | 22:12 |
| wirechief_ | AndySpain here are the depends for wicd: http://pastebin.com/f51393c58 | 22:13 |
| AndySpain | ok found out. Installing wicd it told me it would remove a BROKEN package knetworkmanager and that network-manager-kde depends on network-manager (>= 0.6.2) which is not installable | 22:14 |
| AndySpain | wicd installed now | 22:14 |
| AndySpain | wirechief won't dependencies be installed automatically? | 22:15 |
| AndySpain | ok, wicd installed and started. says cabled networkd found, no wireless found | 22:16 |
| wirechief_ | AndySpain if not usually apt-get -f install works (not sure if supported in your repos though) | 22:16 |
| AndySpain | I did sudo aptitude install wicd | 22:17 |
| AndySpain | no errors | 22:17 |
| kaddi | AndySpain: are you sure that the card is working? | 22:17 |
| AndySpain | do i need to restart? | 22:17 |
| AndySpain | kaddi: yes under windows it works | 22:17 |
| chris_ | mporei kapoios na me vohthisei? | 22:18 |
| wirechief_ | usually for the first attempt, if it got a ip for you, or /etc/init.d/networking restart | 22:18 |
| kaddi | AndySpain: just wanted to make sure ;) | 22:18 |
| ign0ramus | AndySpain, if wicd doesn't find any wireless, sometimes restarting X works. I've had to do that upon first installing on Hardy. After that, it works seamlessly. | 22:18 |
| wirechief_ | it seems to need to be kickstarted when first used. | 22:19 |
| ign0ramus | AndySpain, also, the version in the repos is a couple of versions older than what's offered on the sourceforge page, but stability-wise, you're good to go. | 22:20 |
| wirechief_ | another trick is to use dhclient eth0 or eth1 | 22:20 |
| andy_ | kaddi: yes under windows it works | 22:24 |
| andy_ | now i closed the knetwork manager - maybe they conflict | 22:24 |
| andy_ | and i got disconnected | 22:24 |
| andy_ | clicked connect in wicd and could enter again, though wicd still says disconnected | 22:25 |
| kaddi | andy_ I see that, I'm gonna paste you the suggestions that were posted after you left. :) | 22:25 |
| andy_ | now 'dpkg -l|grep wicd' foinds something: 'ii wicd 1.5.9 wired and wireless network manager' | 22:25 |
| andy_ | kaddi: thank you | 22:25 |
| kaddi | Andy_ http://nopaste.com/p/ajvAQ7Ehm | 22:26 |
| andy_ | i even tried to manually write ath0 as the wireless interface in preferences as this was empty | 22:26 |
| === diego is now known as Guest12975 | ||
| kaddi | andy_ what kind of card do you have? Did you already say, I didn't see it | 22:27 |
| andy_ | even for the cabled one it tells me disconnected, but I'm in here... | 22:29 |
| andy_ | I closed wicd and tried the /etc/init.d/networking restart thing | 22:29 |
| andy_ | to no avail | 22:29 |
| andy_ | I don't know exactly the name, but it's atheros | 22:29 |
| wirechief_ | did you try dhclient eth0 | 22:29 |
| wirechief_ | or is it wlan0 | 22:30 |
| wirechief_ | do a sudo ifconfig and see which | 22:30 |
| andy_ | wirechief, not yet. I think on a precviously installed ubuntu (dunno how it worked there, it was a hassle as well it was ath0) | 22:30 |
| andy_ | do the names change? | 22:30 |
| wirechief_ | ok well ifconfig will show whats available for use | 22:31 |
| andy_ | eth0 and lo that's all in ifconfig | 22:31 |
| wirechief_ | ok then its dhclient eth0 | 22:31 |
| andy_ | where? | 22:32 |
| andy_ | in terminal? | 22:32 |
| andy_ | i think in ubuntu in those days i had to download some driver from madwifi... | 22:32 |
| andy_ | unfortunately I don't remember anything | 22:32 |
| andy_ | this time I'm coying all to a txt file so I can do it alone in the future | 22:33 |
| andy_ | ok dunno if it helps: lspci gives this card: 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 22:35 |
| wirechief_ | does lsmod show any wireless modules ? | 22:35 |
| andy_ | wirechief_ no, nothing I could identify as wireless | 22:36 |
| andy_ | powernow, bitlbit, kvm, sound, video, pata, ext3 and so stuff, no word wireless or wife | 22:36 |
| wirechief_ | cfg80211 67756 3 iwl3945,iwlcore,mac80211 this is mine | 22:37 |
| wirechief_ | i believe there needs to be a 80211 | 22:37 |
| andy_ | ??, gosh. I'll paste you my output | 22:37 |
| wirechief_ | no | 22:37 |
| wirechief_ | use pastebinit | 22:38 |
| wirechief_ | maybe lsmod |pastebinit | 22:38 |

| ign0ramus | wirechief_, google is a great thing... we both immediately found the same article ;) | 22:44 |
| wirechief_ | yeah, its gotten me out of lots of tight spots with compiling | 22:45 |
| wirechief_ | some errors are just not human readable or understandable. | 22:45 |
| ign0ramus | wirechief_, me too. it's usually some simple lib or package, but without google, i'd have never have known which one | 22:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | Atheros is still madwifi, isn't it? | 22:45 |
| ign0ramus | jhutchins_wk, it seems so (reading the above article) | 22:46 |
| ign0ramus | jhutchins_wk, but there are ath5k modules, too, not sure if they are madwifi or not | 22:46 |
| * ign0ramus has an Intel chipset... wireless is the only thing he DOESNT have a problem with ;) | 22:47 | |

| andy_ | wirechief_: thanks reading the posts. one included a wget from a madwifi site which didn't exist anymore. now I'm trying to figure out how to enable bakcports here | 22:50 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, i'm with you. some kernel devs have suggested that the intel regressions will be fixed by Karmic's release | 22:50 |
| ign0ramus | andy_, you can install backports from the repos. perhaps "linux-backports-modules-jaunty" may be of interest to you... | 22:53 |
| kaddi | karmic will be kernelversion 2.6.30 ? or 29? | 22:53 |
| kaddi | ign0ramus: he's using intrepid ;) | 22:53 |
| ign0ramus | andy_, oh, then search apt-cache or adept or whatever for 'backports'... they're in there :) | 22:54 |
| ign0ramus | kaddi, 2.6.30 or higher | 22:54 |
| vbgunz | can someone enlighten me? why when I go to tty 1 - 6 I keep seeing "cannot examine encrypted directory" after I log in? I dont remember ever trying to add encryption manually and I could almost swear when asked in the installer, I said no... whats happening? | 22:54 |
