[00:01] you may try to download the plugin manually [00:01] hi [00:01] seevee: what's the uotput of: ls /usr/lib/mozilla [00:01] any one know a good ati 9000 drv ?? [00:02] its sommetin ubuntu changed right ? [00:02] seevee: sorry it's ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:02] upd manager ? [00:03] L3d: there's a problem with Xorg and ati drivers [00:03] 3rd? [00:03] im gona search [00:03] . [00:03] .. damn double clicks [00:04] eh ticks .. [00:04] L3d: the solution it's to roll back xorg to the previous version, the one shipped with Intrepid if I recall [00:05] 8.04 ? can u say what version xorg? [00:05] L3d: 8.10's version [00:06] wil do and i gued [00:06] gues its just the prev version [00:06] thnx man [00:07] Bluechili: ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins gives flashplugin-alternative.so [00:07] L3d: ok, google it a bit, it should come up within the top reults [00:08] seevee: whatś happens is that you have installed a version of flash, probably from gnash, so the alternatives and the propietary plash plugin don't get along [00:09] Is there a good web page designer for linux? [00:09] seevee: on your package manager search for flash, remove any plugin, gnash, swfdec or whatever [00:10] BlueChili: ok, but the package manager gives me the bomb nearly every time I run it. [00:13] seeve: that may act as a flash alternative, then again do a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:14] ok. in process. [00:15] seevee: if the package manager it's kicking you, open konsole and use aptitude ;) [00:15] BlueChili: You rock! [00:16] it's running. [00:16] I removed in pkg mgr and ran the apt-get command, restarted firefox, and it works. [00:17] seevee: nice :) [00:24] !info kopmoze [00:24] Package kopmoze does not exist in jaunty [00:24] !info kompoze [00:24] Package kompoze does not exist in jaunty === adam is now known as Adola_temp [00:49] how do i back up my kmail? === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ === jon is now known as Guest89147 [01:59] Hey there everyone - I've got Ubuntu 9.04 installed (also tried this on 8.1) and the NIC that I'm using is a 3com 3c900-tpo. It's not being recognized as an 'eth' but rather as 'pan0'. I can't use it at all. Any ideas? [02:02] you try googling for something like "eth pan0 nic ubuntu" ? [02:02] and you might want to try in #ubuntu [02:12] guys.. i have some problem with with my touchpad.. probably you all may know what I'll say next.. [02:13] while I'm typing, if I touch it with my hand, it clicks elsewhere [02:13] akSeya: what lappy ? [02:13] it's an Acer Aspire 5920 [02:13] ah ha [02:14] using fn f7 might toggle it on/off [02:14] yeah.. but I don't want to turn it off.. [02:14] it worked on my Acer Aspire one [02:14] oh [02:14] hehe well ok [02:15] google synclient [02:15] i was trying to use gsynaptics to configure it.. but had no success [02:15] there are tricks for making it wait a few seconds before moving [02:15] Is there any other type of package management besides kpackagekit? (like the old add/remove or aptitude in 8.10) [02:16] i use a external mouse, that mousepad is a total disaster when trying to type [02:18] Hey, I have an annoying issue with kpackagekit, anyone know if its common? [02:19] Thanks Serpardum - I've tried both of those things, to no avail... It's a curious problem [02:20] Nobody? [02:22] Anyone have a problem with kpackagekit, one that results in it telling you that a synched process took too long, and that they need to fork? [02:22] good night <---> buenas noches [02:22] greetings for everyone <---> saludos para todos [02:24] No bites? Darn. [02:25] Does anyone have a consise way to apply the alredy cached updates with apt, then? [02:27] What do you do on an IRC server other then talk!? [02:28] eamonn, support for Kubuntu OS here, chit chat in #kubuntu-offtopic [02:28] If anyone wants me to stfu and go away, just say so :( [02:29] Hello, anybody there? [02:30] yes, support question eamonn ? [02:30] I can hear my own echo in here... [02:31] just for the sake of it. [02:31] 18:21:51 | < eamonn> Anyone have a problem with kpackagekit, one that results in it telling you that a synched process took too long, and that they need to fork? [02:31] Yeah. I was not sure if I was connected. [02:32] Anyhow, anybody know about that? [02:32] I would not be surprised if someone'd fixed the bug, but I can't do anything about it, as the bug manifests it's self as I try to apply updates! [02:33] I never had a problem with Adept, up to and including the point at which I used it to upgrade. [02:33] I get that bug sometimes, I just ignore it and fire up apt-get [02:33] i changed the some configurations on xorg.conf, but synclient changes are not working at all [02:34] How do I apply the cached updates with apt-get? [02:34] for example, a simple synclient -m 100 should show some info about pressure on the touchpad [02:34] eamonn: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" === wsr3193 is now known as raghorn [02:34] eamonn: probably the upgrade is enough though [02:35] do you know how to set a transparent taskbar with KDE 4.2 Kubuntu 9.04 ??? [02:35] Someone prolly fixed the bug? Thanks. [02:36] has anyone ever heard of random letters being inputed during high load.. even if i haven't touched the keyboard? [02:37] It decided to keep back four updates regarding lunix headers. Is this normal? [02:37] No, though sometimes it randomly clicks, putting my cursor in the middle of a word. [02:37] eamonn: yes, if you do want to update the kernel use apt-get dist-upgrade [02:38] Wait [02:38] it did something [02:38] I can't dump all of the text here, but let me see...

[02:39] Thanks. [02:39] Yeah, we want the old packagers back, KPK fails :( [02:39] serv identify g4br13l [02:39] you can install adept [02:39] it tells me that there is a corrupted filesystem tarfile [02:39] eamonn: Yes, KPK is very lame. [02:40] And... oh no, corrupted package archive [02:40] It just intalled fine for me. [02:40] rrors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/cups_1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2_i386.deb [02:40] Try downloading the .deb from the ubuntu package database. [02:41] nice... :S [02:41] is hard to guess without the complete error log [02:41] eamonn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/adept There you go. [02:41] That would be nice if my package man was not crashing on me :( [02:42] I tried it with kpackage kit, hit the same brick wall that it always does. [02:42] Is there not an add/remove anymore though? So you can browse through each category? [02:43] I don't know. I also don't know if I should just call it a loss, move my files, and install a clean OS [02:44] Coulden't it be a persistant problem with OOword or something? It had to be the package maniger... [02:45] Anyone know where I can find a non-corrupt copy of "cups_1.3.9-17ubuntu3.2_i386.deb"? [02:46] So, nobody has anything new to add? [02:47] (again, stop me if I get annoying) [02:47] !add/remove [02:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about add/remove [02:47] best to wait more than a minute to get an answer. [02:49] I'll see what add/remove programs is called, hold on [02:50] any way to download youtube videos ? [02:50] There are several ways. [02:51] Do you have flash and everything?

[02:53] bazhang: ty is that a synaptic package or command line [02:53] Search for it in synaptic. [02:54] Daemon, I think you mean gui or command line; sudo apt-get install youtube-dl (use from the Konsole) ; apt-cache search youtube will give some results as well [02:54] Ohh, meticafe DL too... just in case someone wanted to DL from that. [02:55] sweetnes thanks guys [02:55] it does not work on the fly, and changes are lost after restart :@ [02:56] I really don't get it...

[03:06] lemme try it [03:06] Daemon, you need a youtube url to do it with. [03:09] bazhang: seems to be working now were do i find my videos [03:09] Daemon, check your home folder [03:13] somone here knows anything about wvdail? [03:13] bazhang: any way to get a better quality video? [03:14] Daemon, from youtube?

[03:21] you can use either [03:22] i've been using 32bit but i just wanted to be sure [03:24] you might find 64 bit to be a bit faster [03:24] might is an operative word there though [03:25] somone know how to get mobile broadband to work with wvdail? [03:25] seems it's harder to find programs for 64bit [03:26] this kde 4.3 rc is a nice piece of work [03:27] is kde 4.3 included in karmic 9.10 [03:27] Yes [03:27] cool downloading now [03:35] here is the error: http://pastebin.se/198471 [03:42] Is there any reason that updates would be rediculously slow? I get great down speeds usually, but im installing quite a few programs and its going very slow. Over an hour to fetch 70mb. [03:49] i see some sites about installing kde3 on kubuntu 9.04 , the problem is that they point to http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/ and I get only ERROR 403 on that site [03:49] is there any other way to install kde3 on kubuntu 9.04? [03:50] or should I stay with 8.04? [03:52] akSeya: There is the KDE3.5 remix of 9.04. [03:53] i need help [03:53] what with? [03:53] !question | terettes15 [03:53] terettes15: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. [03:54] fg56lx, but since I already have 9.04 installed, isn't there a way to install kde3.5 over it? [03:54] i found some how to, but as I said, they refers to that site... [03:54] i have tried everything to fix it but nothing is working [03:55] en español [03:55] akSeya: why you want 3.5 ... 4.3 is so much better [03:55] akSeya: I'm pretty sure there is. === stephen is now known as hunt [03:55] glennwhip: Not at all. KDE4 is horrible. === hunt is now known as justinca [03:56] glennwhip, it has some nice visual features... [03:56] But this isnt the place for that discussion. === justinca is now known as stephens [03:56] and i have been on here many times and no one answers me back [03:56] but I don't like it.. this visual features are not really necessary [03:56] akSeya: you should be able to just add the kde3 repos, and then 'sudo apt-get install kde3-desktop [03:57] does anyone know how to make a program use a certain network interface? [03:57] hola [03:57] is there any difference between using aptitude and apt-get? [03:57] dannei: hola. Solo hablas espanol? [03:57] sorry just saying i liked 3.5 but now that i've used 4.x and got used to it is getting better [03:57] fg56lx, yeap.. i tried that, but it said that that repo doesnt have the public signature [03:58] me fetusbubble? [03:58] si, dime por favor donde consigo para chat en español [03:58] !es | dannei [03:58] dannei: 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. [03:58] no, that was directed at everyone [03:58] gracias [03:58] ok [03:59] I found that the pgp should be in http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/public.gpg .. but as I said.. forbidden :( [03:59] no iam going to bed and trying to fix it when iam more non tired [03:59] fetusbubble: aptitude and apt-get are the same thing [04:00] im trying to install programs. every time i try to install one it gives me this message - There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. [04:01] akSeya: I wouldnt recommend using the 3.5 remix anyway. I tried it at first because i was appauled at kde4.1, and i encounted problems almost every day with the 3.5remix. [04:01] terettes15: I just ignore it. I checked a few times, and could not find a problem [04:01] damn i cant instal any programs than [04:01] terettes15: try running sudo apt-get update in a a terminal === phma_ is now known as phma [04:01] pastebin the output [04:02] !pastebin > terettes15 [04:02] terettes15, please see my private message [04:02] I would either recommend sticking with 8.04, switching to gnome, or updating from kde 4.2 to 4.3(4.2.95) There is quite a difference between them and 4.3 is actually pretty nice. === stephens is now known as tekteen [04:05] tekteen: i have tried to update it through my terminal it didnt work [04:05] terettes15: you need to pastebin your output [04:05] how do i do that [04:05] I had ubottu send you the pastebin link [04:06] !pastebin > terettes15 [04:06] terettes15, please see my private message [04:06] oh ok [04:06] fg56lx, looks like the site is up again.. now I'm able to apt-get update [04:06] already downloading kubuntu-desktop-kde3 ... hope it works ;) [04:06] tekteen: im sorry im still learning what do you mean my output? [04:07] akSeya: I hope it works better for you than me. I just had problem after problem. And you cant get help here in the irc since its apparently ALOT different than kde4. [04:07] you type sudo apt-get update in a terminal. Then a lot of lines are printed. I need to know what it said. [04:08] ok [04:09] tekteen: ok i now pasted it what do i do now? [04:09] give me the link [04:10] I am sure ubottu said that :-\ [04:10] no sorry [04:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [04:11] i think thats it [04:11] terettes15: the link to what you posted? [04:11] yes [04:12] tekteen: did it work? [04:13] terettes15: did you click paste? [04:14] if so, give me the url you are on right now [04:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [04:15] that should be it. i clicked paste [04:15] did you click paste after pasting it? [04:15] yes [04:15] terettes15: do it again. Put a name in the poster field [04:16] wht's the command to create a link? [04:16] Serpardum: ln [04:16] ln -s for a symbolic link [04:16] ln for LiNk kay, thanks [04:16] what's diff between symbolic and regular? [04:16] tekteen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/212363/ [04:16] I've heard of symbolic links and that's what I've always thought of links as. [04:17] Serpardum: regular is hard wired. That means that neither one is more "real" then the other [04:17] but they need to be on the same partition [04:17] Oh, kinda like making a diectory entry pointing to the real entry. got it [04:17] symbolic links are pointers to the "real" file [04:18] kay, thanks [04:18] Serpardum: there was no error :-\ [04:18] oops, wrong person [04:18] terettes15: there was no error :-\ [04:19] terettes15: now do sudo apt-get upgrade [04:19] ok [04:21] terettes15: did that cmd print any errors? [04:21] no [04:21] terettes15: then you should be good [04:22] tekteen: now its saying some pachages could not be autheticated [04:22] don't worry [04:22] ok [04:23] but when i go into adept installer i still get the same message and it wont let me install any of my programs [04:24] terettes15: I do not know why [04:24] Is there any way to edit what is in the kmenu? [04:24] terettes15: the issue is wit the gui. Not the your system [04:24] i just need a new computer [04:24] fg56lx: kmenueditor? [04:25] fg56lx: kmenuedit [04:25] "Package kmenuedit is not available, but is referred to by another package" [04:25] :-\ [04:25] I already have it installed [04:25] did you check? [04:26] Ah, i did have it, just didnt have an icon for it in the editor. [04:26] Thanks. [04:26] np [04:26] * tekteen needs to go [04:26] tekteen: is there anyone else that might be able to help me [04:26] terettes15: maybe [04:27] I just waited until the update that fixed it [04:27] oh [04:27] you prob have an old version of kubuntu? [04:27] yeah i do. this computer could hold anything else [04:28] couldn't* [04:29] how old is your computer [04:31] my computer was rebiult from a windows xp computer [04:32] what are the specs === william is now known as Guest14432 === Moult_ is now known as Moult [04:32] linuxman410: will you be on later [04:33] maybe if not i will be on early in morning [04:33] ok cause i have to go [04:33] ok [04:46] I want to download the source kdebase deb package of KDE 4.3rc that is used in Jaunty, where can I get it? Is it the same as the one of Karmic? [04:46] I try to open firefox, and it tells me "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.*." [04:48] . [04:48] failure [04:51] eamonn: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44255 [04:52] I just googled for "compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.1" with quotes and it came up [04:52] google is your friend [04:52] Well, how do you know that I have a working browser at all ;) [04:52] How can i diable the firefox icon in the system tray? [04:52] because one comes with kubuntu and this is #kubuntu [04:52] I also googled it. They told me to order it to "sudo xulrunner-1.9 --register-global", I did, and it was fixed. [04:52] Google is, in deed, my friend :) [04:53] Also, I'd suggest to everyone to have at least two browsers installed, in case one fails. [04:53] I always do [04:53] in windows, in linux, wheverever [04:53] What is a good secondary for vanilla ubuntu? Opera? [04:53] although you can ftp to netscape.com and ftp a browser there [04:54] I wonder if that's still active [04:54] Serpardum: Well, both Dolphin and Konqueror can browse the web, and they are both installed by default. [04:54] If you are a guru. [04:54] But if you are a guru, you probably won't have a problem in the first place. [04:54] I could never figure out how to put in a url in dolphin [04:54] lol [04:54] Dolphin can browse? [04:54] Didn't bill gates try that? [04:55] Yeah, and when he did it, it landed him in anti-trust court. [04:55] * fetusbubble tries it out of curiousity [04:55] but he did it anyway [04:55] By implimenting that, is dolphin admitting that it is a good idea? [04:55] Because I still think that it is a dumb idea. [04:56] I think that you should have a GUI program, and subprograms that are connected via pipes that do the browsing/file messing. [04:56] I can't figure out how to open a web site in dolphin [04:56] "Dolphin does not support web pages, the web browser has been launched" [04:56] how did you type in the url fetusbubble? [04:56] Serpardum: right click on the location, edit, http://www.google.com [04:57] Speaking of windows, on an other (fast) machine, I'm dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu. [04:57] I'm so proud of ubuntu... it runs most of the games that I could find better. [04:58] (Namely OpenGL games, such as Nexuiz and Assault Cube) [04:58] except for the ones without a linux port or that don't play too well with wine ]; [04:58] never heard of Assult Cube [04:58] or Nexuis really [04:58] How can i diable the firefox icon in the system tray? [04:58] delte it [04:58] Haven't tried many WINE games... [04:58] (on that comp anyway) [04:59] right click, delete [04:59] er, no [04:59] There is no delete. [04:59] hmm... left click and delete key? [04:59] If orget [04:59] I wish Tiberian Sun worked on WINE... [04:59] let me get linux desktop up [04:59] Serpardum: This is in the "system tray" [04:59] Left click, select "do not display" [04:59] oh you need to remove it [04:59] On the KDE bar thing its... [05:00] Right click, Ctl+R [05:00] right click and quit [05:00] Left click does nothing, neither does right click ctlr+r. [05:00] What are you clicking on? [05:01] speaking of that.. is there any way to run pidgin in the background on KDE? on gnome i know there's a 'notification area' thingie for the panels.. but on KDE it's totally different o.O [05:01] The Icon in question, right? [05:01] Yes. [05:01] There is a system tray [05:01] Let me see what the name of the toy is [05:01] I found it. [05:01] Yeah, it is system tray [05:01] ksystraycmd [05:01] Had to hide that. [05:01] The pastebin thing is so cool, btw [05:02] Being able to switch between copied strings [05:02] Back on windows, I had to have a notepad window open as scratch paper :P [05:03] hey, if I want to reinstall cupsd, what command would that be? [05:03] "apt-get install cupsd"?
